After An Yirou was rejected by Shangguan Yi, she didn't force it, this person probably has his own plans, right? After getting along for a few days, she also found that this child's mind was indeed more thoughtful, no wonder he was selected, I just hope that this child will not suffer like him, pursued his dream for half a lifetime, and finally found that the most important thing had already changed and had left him. After that, An Yirou whispered a few words to Hua Xiangrong, and said goodbye to the two of them, she was going to go her own way to replenish it, and walk through the mountains and fog again, she went to the chaotic land and had something to do, although it was not very important.

Hua Xiangrong watched An Yirou walk farther and farther, then turned to Shangguan Yi and said, "Where are you going next?"

"Let's take the route guarded by the Great Light Temple, let's visit the holy places of Buddhism and bathe in the glory of the Buddha. Shangguan Yi raised his head, his eyebrows and eyes full of energy.

"You, your brain is fine, right?" Hua Xiangrong looked at Shangguan Yi worriedly, neither of them is a good person, let alone believes in Buddhism, even if they want to go to the Great Guangming Temple to do something, they don't need to say that they are so high-sounding, right? Besides, go to the Great Light Temple to do something... That's the real old birthday star hanging, the person who dares to go there to make trouble is a high-ranking and bold guy in addition to neurosis. The reason why it is modified with two "high" is because... At the very least, you need the combat strength of the four heavens to be able to come out of the Great Light Temple alive.

The strength of the foundation of the Great Light Temple, is not comparable to the average family, in the words of the outside world, the master is like a cloud is a trivial matter, the problem is that those strange monsters who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, you can't imagine how perverted they can be, maybe there is a super master of the four heavens in seclusion in a small courtyard. The five-fold heavens do not come out, and the fourfold heavens are strategic resources at the level of nuclear weapons, each of which can change the situation of war in various senses. In terms of the strength of the two of them, going to the Great Light Temple to do things is a bit inflated, but you can also try, as long as you don't go deep into it.

"No, I'm sober. We have long admired Buddhism, and we are pilgrims who have traveled thousands of miles and worked tirelessly to come here. We are here to contribute to the cause of the Buddha's golden body and incense, and by the way, listen to the teachings of the host and feel the truth in them. Maybe we weren't Buddhists before, but we have a sincere heart! The Buddha would not refuse his dear followers entry. Shangguan Yi said this sentence with great righteousness, impassioned and passionate, which made people almost believe it.

Hua Xiangrong is a little messy, do you dare to ask for a little face, you, you have been studying Buddhism for a long time, we, pilgrims, no one dares to believe it, just what you have done along the way, the Buddha probably thinks that it is a shame to have someone like you believe in him, right?

"Let's go, let's go to the Great Light Temple to play, it shouldn't be dangerous. Shangguan Yi urged, as if he couldn't wait.

"Do you have a way to pass those passes?" Hua Xiangrong was still very skeptical, what Shangguan Yi was going to do, she couldn't believe that there should be no danger in this kind of nonsense, he would have trouble to clean up wherever he went along the way, she was about to acquiesce to this, it was impossible to be easy, I hope that the big monks can take care of their own territory, if something happens, she will look down on this ancient Buddhist holy place.

"There is no way to have silver, money can make ghosts push ghosts, money can make ghosts push ghosts, it is not a big problem. Shangguan Yi said very calmly, he plans to use money to open the way, and he still has a lot of silver on him, and he has to spend it when he should spend it.

"How can I listen to your words, like if you have money and can do whatever you want?" Hua Xiangrong complained weakly, if only it were so simple.

"Look, they'll be impressed by my sincerity. "Shangguan Yi is very confident.

"Then let's go, anyway, if you can't get by, you can escape with your ability, so as not to be caught, and wait for Sister Rou to come back tomorrow to make arrangements." Hua Xiangrong reluctantly continued to follow Shangguan Yi on the adventure, but he didn't hold out any hope. After all, if you really have money, you can go over, and those people in the East China Sea don't take the safety of the border too seriously, right? If you can't get by, just let her help when An Yirou comes back. As a real formation master, the Holy Hand of Poison Medicine, she is a super sought-after resource. The big forces don't care what the reputation of An Yirou outside is, it's all spread by falsehood, what is the real situation, whether it's worth winning over, but it's not credible, their intelligence department has analyzed it, and the result is: As long as An Yirou can be wooed, what kind of thing is it to let a few people go? Even if there is a problem with the identity? It's better if something happens, but it's a favor to operate, what do you need in the future, it's a sure thing to talk to her, and you don't need to ask grandpa to tell grandma at all.

Shangguan Yi shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything about her questioning, from luxury to frugality, after having An Yirou take her for a while, he naturally had no confidence in a little spicy chicken like him, which was normal, not to mention going to a place like Daguang Temple. However, no matter how difficult it is, the road has to be walked alone after all, and it would be good for her to adjust it, as an assassin, it is not the right thing to subconsciously rely on others.

In this way, the two of them found the pass guarded by the monks of the Great Guangming Temple, these people are really big-hearted, or do they have a lot of pressure on their own affairs? Knowing that no one will go through this, so they don't look like guards at all, they are all meditating, chanting scriptures, and doing their daily homework.

Although the reason for setting up a checkpoint here is not to prevent people from entering the East China Sea, but to make profits, these great monks are still meticulous, and there is no suitable reason for them to want to enter.

Smuggling transactions are huge profits, and none of the things that need to be done across the border are simple, and this situation is difficult to completely eliminate.

It is better to block than to sparse, so Donghai's strategy is to peel the skin and charge high tolls.

However, it does not do it by itself, but distributes the various entrances to the official roads from the mountains to the major forces, and then takes a part of the money from the hands of the major forces, and only guards some of the entrances to the official roads, which not only saves manpower and material resources, but also uses interests to tie the major forces to their chariots, and all the glory and loss are lost, and the various hatreds caused by this measure will also be shared, and there will be no big mistakes, quite a perfect measure.

On the surface, it is just to make money, but it is stuck on a bottom line at the root, and those whose profits do not reach this bottom line should not come to the East China Sea and lose money. After sifting through this one, the rest of the work is much easier to manage.

For individuals or forces who need to enter and exit the border to do business, it is much more convenient and faster to take this road. Characters with heads and faces should be treated as if they were walking normally, and they will be directly given a green light all the way; if they don't have enough face, they will make up for silver, and if they are not enough, don't be ashamed. After all, to a considerable extent, face = strength = silver, most powerful people have a lot of fame, and there will be no shortage of silver flowers, this is the general law.

Doing it like this, although it is a little too real, but for real masters, it is more comfortable than sneaking into loopholes or something, and I don't know how much, and it has brushed up their favor.

Making money, co-opting forces, controlling border gates, making friends, one measure accomplishes these four things, it's really remarkable.

When Shangguan Yi heard about this measure, he was a little surprised, curious who proposed it, but he was told that it was Jun Yishen, the prime minister of the East China Sea, who single-handedly supported the current emperor of the East China Sea.

Shangguan Yi was amazed by this, with such a talented person, why worry about the East China Sea not prospering? On the other hand, Zhongzhen, eh.

With a light sigh, Shangguan Yi got rid of these chaotic thoughts and began to think about how to fool these monks and let them let them go first.

Yes, although it is said that it can be opened with silver, it must also have a certain strength, or a certain status. Shangguan Yi and Hua Xiangrong are certainly decent in combat, but they are both fledgling little guys, even if they do something on Zhongzhen's side, it won't be spread to the East China Sea for the time being, and the only thing that can really be the protagonist is the Mo family. Their role is not honorable, and they are in an absolute weakness, which does not help to improve the status of the rivers and lakes.

So the two of them belong to a special situation, they have lost their strength and have no reputation, but they are very rich. This is also one of the reasons why Shangguan Yi chose to go here, the great monks will not want to rob you because you have a lot of money, and of course, they will not let you go because you have a lot of money. So you need to fool them, phew, communicate with them well, and let them put Guanyi and Hua Xiang in. As for how to communicate...

"Stop, who is it?" a monk opened his eyes suddenly, it was allowed to do other things, but they couldn't leave behind their own work, they were guarding this pass.

"We are God's people from a distant place, Buddha's believers, and we want to take the road from here to go to the Great Light Temple, go there to see the holy places of Buddhism, and increase our knowledge. Shangguan Yi introduced himself, and the opening remarks directly confused the great monk.

God's people, Buddha's followers?

What is this? Why haven't they heard of it, even if they eat fasting and chant Buddha every day, they don't dare to say that if they are sincere to the Buddha, what crack in the stone did you pop out of? You are so arrogant.

Shangguan Yi's opening remarks directly made everyone, or all the monks, open their eyes and look at Shangguan Yi seriously to see what this guy wants to do.

What they mean is probably this: make it up, keep making it up, don't stop, you can't make it up and kill you.

"The Buddha said: All appearances are false. Everything you see is the product of subjective consciousness, maybe I look like I'm just a child who doesn't understand the world, maybe I don't look like a Buddhist, but this is just the surface, it's the judgment of the masters on me based on the existing experience, this is prejudice! Only by seeing through this layer can the masters see my sincere heart towards the Buddha. We have traveled thousands of miles and experienced all kinds of dangers to come here just to admire the heroic posture of our Buddha and seek an answer to the puzzle in our hearts. The Buddha said, "All beings are equal." "Please also ask the masters to open up and not have any prejudices and misunderstandings about us. Shangguan Yi finished saying such a paragraph without blinking his eyes, the scene was still dead, and no one said a word from beginning to end.

Shangguan Yi blinked and approached a monk who looked like the leader. This monk is not very old, similar to Shangguan Yi, but everyone faintly takes him as the center, his status must be transcendent, and he is young and immature, which is definitely a good breakthrough. Shangguan Yi took out a handful of silver tickets, and said while handing them over: "There is no free lunch in the world, no matter what you do, you need to pay a price, I heard that it is not an easy thing to worship the Buddha, this money is a little bit of our contribution to the repair of the Buddha's golden body, and this is the sesame oil money, but also for the Buddha and his old man." Don't refuse, master, it's all a piece of heart for the Buddha, and I believe that the Buddha will not reject my sincerity. ”

The thin force that Shangguan Yi said here is four hundred taels of silver, and the sesame oil money is three hundred taels, which is still not a small hand, and it can even be said to be very generous. The point is that he also found a high-sounding reason, my money is not for you, it is for the Buddha's heart, you just collect it on your behalf, there is no position and no reason to refuse me. But in the end, the money still went to the hands of the Great Light Temple, and how to spend it was also a matter of the Great Light Temple.

Shangguan Yi knew this, Hua Xiangrong knew, and most of those monks actually knew it. But the monks just couldn't refuse such a reason.

In the past, there were also businessmen who wanted to pass from here in a similar way, after all, the guards were from the Great Guangming Temple, and they didn't look at the monks' faces to see the Buddha's faces, and the path behind them was relatively safer, and there were not so many bandits who wanted to cut off the beard. But unsurprisingly, most of them failed, and very few people were able to get past it.

The reason is that there should be no flaws in the combination of demeanor, tone, and action, and the great monks are not good at observing words and colors, but they really want to deceive them, and they still use this kind of Buddhist thought that they are good at and respect to fool them, which is difficult. They don't care if what you say is crooked, whether there is a gap between it and their orthodox ideas, they only care about whether you are a fake Buddhist, or whether you are a fake fan of the Buddha.

For the kind of people who are full of money to buy roads, they are all arrested and sent to the government, no matter what conditions you prescribe or how much silver you give. The foundation of the huge Great Light Temple does not need to be supported by this pass, at most it is an additional income, the existence of chicken ribs, I can't say that I don't care, but I can't care about it, so I just use it to train the disciples, and they are behind them when everything happens, and they can't turn over the waves.

This is the essence of the Great Bright Temple, so its disciples only need to follow the rules of the temple, and the rest is free. This is also the reason why these people are unscrupulous and derelict here to do their own thing. But this time they ran into Shangguan Yi, this person is a treacherous villain they can't deal with, he looks like a serious Buddhist, the reason he said is also very appropriate, his posture is enough, and his mind is good, it seems that there is no reason to stop him, but what is the reluctance in his heart?

The monk pinched the silver in his hand, struggled in his heart, and finally made a decision: when he didn't let him go, he saw Shangguan Yi clasping his hands together, bowing slightly, and saying with a solemn expression: ". “

He hurriedly returned the salute, but there was no longer a reason to refuse him, it was too difficult to choose, on the one hand, it was a devout believer, and on the other hand, it was a feeling in the dark, and if he denied the first point just because of the second point, it would be too hasty, and he would be punished by the master at that time. It's just two people on the left and right, it's not a big problem, it shouldn't be able to make waves, right?

In this way, under the shyness of a bunch of fledgling little monks who had been sent by the division commander to experience without accidents, Shangguan Yi and the two of them not only successfully passed this pass, but also got the wooden card of the Great Guangming Temple. This wooden plaque is equivalent to saying that these two people have been inspected by the Great Light Temple and there is no problem. Generally, those who can get such wooden cards have a certain relationship with the Great Light Temple, and the back passes will not be embarrassed, and the green light will be over directly.

Hua Xiangrong was dumbfounded, although Shangguan Yi's acting skills are really good, but you don't have to give him a wooden card so hastily, right?

"Let's go, goodbye, masters, and I will visit you another day to listen to the teachings. After Shangguan Yi said a word to Hua Xiangrong, he said goodbye to those monks, worthy of being the flower of Buddhism, kind-hearted, so foolish.

Hua Xiangrong couldn't believe it, but when it came to mixing up with the past, she was not ambiguous at all, and her unhurried pace didn't see any flaws, and her expression was also calm, as if what her companion said was true. This kind of thing is also her specialty, if it weren't for the mission, Hua Xiangrong didn't have such a thick skin, she would definitely do better than Shangguan Yi.

The two of them passed the first pass like this, and the rest was not so troublesome, not to mention that they also had the wooden sign of the Great Bright Temple as a guarantee, so they didn't have to worry about not being able to get through at all.

"How is it, my method is okay, right?" Shangguan Yi couldn't help but say after walking a long distance.

"Bully honest people and despise you. Hua Xiangrong said lightly, she couldn't get used to Shangguan Yi's proud look.

"How can I be, if I bullied them, I should have asked them to give me money, and now I have lost seven hundred taels. Shangguan Yi shook his fingers in front of Hua Xiangrong.

"But you have gained more than that, not only are these levels worry-free, but they have even laid the foundation for going to the Great Light Temple, and it will not be abrupt to visit the Great Light Temple in the future. He also told them that you are a rich man, and when you go, you will not be treated like ordinary people, but will rise directly to the level of a distinguished guest. These are not worth seven hundred taels of silver?" Hua Xiangrong unceremoniously dismantled him, and it was really a little underwhelming to get cheap and sell well.

"Hahaha, when you go to visit someone's house, you have to say it in advance, and I also have to say it in advance. And it's good to pass the pass, it's much better to go well than not to go well, so you don't care about what you have or not. Eat a trench and grow wise, who hasn't suffered a loss?" Shangguan Yi opened the topic, the question of who loses and who earns is inexplicable, just like Hua Xiangrong said, he used the money he didn't care about to get some of the things he needed, which was earned by blood. The Great Light Temple did not lose anything, the two of them were not conspirators and hostiles, and they would not do anything that harmed the Great Light Temple except for playing, and they did not dare to do it, they took seven hundred taels of silver for nothing, and they also earned it by blood.

"You, I haven't seen you suffer along the way, I only saw you calculating others and making others suffer. Hua Xiangrong is powerless to complain, and this "other person" naturally includes her.

"Suffering is a blessing, I have given them all the blessings, what is there to be dissatisfied? What's more, I actually have a loss, but you don't know. I often walk by the river, it's impossible not to get my shoes wet, and I'm just an ordinary person. Shangguan Yi said abruptly, for example, taking over the cause and effect of the Lord of the Heavenly City, it was actually a blood loss. But even so, he still has to keep this secret from others, otherwise it will only be more troublesome and will not help the situation.

"Then, where are you going next? Go directly to the Great Light Temple?" Hua Xiangrong changed the topic, jokes are jokes, she still knows what the facts are, which genius in this world has not experienced all kinds of things? What is known by birth is a legend after all, and it only exists in legends.

"No, the Great Light Temple is still a short way from here, and it is fast for us to go straight to the Great Light Temple, but it is not appropriate. The conspirators, think twice, take a long detour to Jiangnan City, rest there for a few days to find information, and then set off for the Great Bright Temple. Shangguan Yi said his plan.

Hua Xiangrong didn't have any surprised looks, she had long known that Shangguan Yi would not be able to go straight to the Great Bright Temple, unless he had a backer, a background, and a very hard identity, and he could help him deal with the things he wanted to do casually. If there is, there is no need to do homework at all, it is in the past, and it can be easily solved. But this is obviously not available, so you need to find a place to settle and do more homework, the more the better.

In fact, there is still one thing that Hua Xiangrong didn't expect, that is, to settle in Jiangnan City. Jiangnan City is a very famous city in the East China Sea, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is very good, the favorite place of literati and ink writers, and the children of the rivers and lakes are not bad. The mountain refers to the mountain where the Great Light Temple is located, and although it is a little far away from Jiangnan City, the nearest big city is indeed Jiangnan City in terms of the place where the Great Light Temple is located. Water refers to the nine rivers, as the name suggests, it is the river vein formed by the confluence of the nine rivers in the upper reaches, and the specific formation of the confluence of the nine rivers is no longer mentioned, there is no need. It is enough to know that the river is surging and turbulent. In fact, this river is also very far away from Jiangnan City, and the basis for giving people a glance is so far away that it makes people desperate. There are actually many towns in the south of the Jiujiang River, but only Jiangnan City is called Jiangnan, and other towns are not good. The reason is naturally the scenery and atmosphere, people who have been there can not forget, even if you don't like the gloomy and delicate Jiangnan City, you have to admit that this place is indeed beautiful, different from the beauty of other city styles.

Jiangnan City is famous for its beauty, but the beauty is not only the scenery, but also people, Jiangnan women are gentle and exquisite, with a clean voice and a soft body, and all kinds of rhymes in history make men crazy, and they are more and more curious and yearning for Jiangnan City.

This is also the reason why Hua Xiangrong didn't expect it. There is also a town to choose from, although it is not as famous as Jiangnan City, but it is close, and it is more in line with this guy's style, but he chose Jiangnan City, which has to make people think about it. Or is the woman he wants to give the jade pendant to be in Jiangnan City? Or is it worthy of a man...

After An Yirou's brainwashing, even Hua Xiangrong began to be a little allergic to the scumbag incident, and she could associate it with a little bit of wind and grass.

Shangguan Yi innocently looked at Hua Xiangrong, who looked slowly getting up, I heard that women have a few days of weirdness every month, they will be suspicious, and their temper will be very irritable, could it be that she is just these days? He obviously didn't say anything strange. Although it is indeed a bit selfish to choose to settle in Jiangnan City, but it is just to borrow Qingge to pass something back to Fu Changan, and he has no other ideas, is this guy thinking crookedly?

However, in the end, Shangguan Yi did not clarify anything, the Qing person cleared himself, and deliberately denied what was the result of no silver three hundred taels here, so let time speak.

In the next few days, they passed through all the passes unimpeded, officially entered the East China Sea, and began this journey to the East China Sea.

On the other side, the pass of the Great Light Temple also reached the time for the upper part to come and check, and the monk who took the lead honestly told his master about Shangguan Yi, who was the person in charge of this experience, and did not hide it at all.

"Haha, it's an interesting little ghost, not cunning. His master laughed when he heard this, and he didn't blame him for letting people go, and he didn't even care that his apprentice gave the wooden sign to others.

"Master, did I do something wrong, I always felt that he would cause us trouble. The little monk was very apprehensive, his intuition had always been effective.

"Who doesn't make mistakes? The little guy has a saying that is actually true, all appearances are false. You see him, you hear his rhetoric, but you don't know how to respond, and you're already wrong at that moment. You hesitate, you think about whether it is more important to keep a rich donor or to rule out possible threats, he sees your hesitation, so he interrupts you, disrupts your rhythm, and then you lose. The old monk seriously analyzed these things for his apprentices, and his apprentices were all good, but they were rigid and hesitant, which was a very bad habit, so they still needed to be experienced, more, more cruel experience.

"Yes, I admit punishment. The little monk listened to the master's words, knelt down and had to accept the master's punishment, the master was very strict and did not allow him to make mistakes, but he still often made mistakes, and the punishment was very heavy, but he never justified anything, wrong is wrong, right is right, his world is so simple.

"You're wrong again. The master shook his head and continued: "Although you have lost the rhythm, the initiative is still in your hands, and if you say "no", he will not dare to cross this line, you know this, and he knows it. So you let him go, because you think that maybe he is not as Buddhist as he appears, and even very despicable, but he keeps saying that he will visit the Great Light Temple and donate money for the Buddha, and he is better than the hypocritical villains you have met before. You think it might be a problem to let him go, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"Yes, the disciple pleaded guilty. He lowered his head and said, "Knowing the son is more than the father, the master understands him."

"But you're right, for now, you've just let go of two strangers who have been generous to the Buddha, and they haven't gone wrong or caused us trouble, that's all. "Master's big turn, you are right, the little monk said with a confused face, is he wrong?

"That's right, think about it yourself, punish you for copying the "Diamond Sutra" ten times, the precepts and laws five times, and the "Tao Te Ching" ten times, think about it when you copy it, and discuss the law with me after copying. The master shook his head and gave his disciples homework that made their scalps tingle.

All appearances are vain.

Wrong and right are not so important, and if you look at the essential gains and losses through this layer of skin, it is another concept. If you look at the same thing after a year or ten years, you may feel that the result is completely different. The apprentice is wrong, the reason for the mistake is not what he did, but that he did not have his own rhythm and was led astray by others, and the fault was that he was not decisive enough, experienced enough, and not deeply involved in the world, which blamed him as a master.

So this time, when he was training, he took out the little monk and roasted it, so that he could experience more things alone and increase his experience. In fact, it is also a good thing to let the apprentice meet the child this time, after all, there are almost no people who can hit him in the temple, although the rivers and lakes usually tell him, but it is still early for him to compete with them, no matter how you say it, you have to wait until the time of the grand event in the capital.

Don't blame Master, you are destined to inherit my mantle, I am not cruel to you, and those murderers will be cruel to you in the future.

The apprentice didn't understand the master's intentions, but he did it, and for as long as he could remember, he followed the master, and he did whatever the master said. Recently, Master was troubled because of him, and he could see it, but he didn't know how to relieve Master. I can only try my best to do what the master tells me to do well, and not cause him more trouble. He knew that the master had a lot of things to say to him, or that there were many, many Taoist ideals to tell him, but the master couldn't say them, and some truths had to be understood by himself in order to understand the true meaning.

For a variety of reasons, there is always something that cannot be said in this world. Maybe it's a problem that can be solved by communication, but I always like to hide things in my heart and make people scratch their ears and cheeks and guess. It's very tiring, but I can't help it, I'm afraid that I won't get the results I want if I say it, I'm afraid that I will mislead you and lead you astray.

I'm scared.

That's why Master doesn't say it, it's simple and complicated, it's the love of the Master and the love of the Father.
