Chapter 50 Scholar Zhang Churen
Fuchen heard that it was indeed his own name, but he didn't know what the next words meant, so he asked, "What do you mean......
The scholar pondered for a while and said: "It's hard to say, on the surface, it means that the floating dust floats in the air, can't reach the sky, can't touch the ground, and drifts away with the wind, so naturally there is no root, as for what else it means, I don't know, who gave it to you?"
"A High Monk ......"
Fuchen was still thinking about the scholar's words, so he replied.
Scholar: "I only know that Buddhism has Bodhi, and Bodhi has no tree, so it should mean the same thing!"
Fuchen stared at the scholar, and one of them was about to know the answer, so he then asked, "What does Bodhi mean by having no tree!"
The scholar looked at Fuchen's anxious appearance, then looked at the knife on Fuchen's waist, sat on the ground and said aggrievedly: "I'm only a scholar, and I haven't studied Buddhism......"
"Don't be nervous, am I like that kind of wicked person?"
Fuchen picked up the scholar and helped him pat the dust off his clothes, but the scholar didn't speak, Fuchen thought that his appearance scared the scholar, so he came to the spring and took a photo.
found that in the past two years, his skin has not been so dark, the water chestnuts on his face are more distinct, his sword eyebrows are starry, he is bright, and his hair is a little messy, like a young man.
found that he was still a lot more mature than when Chang'an left Dongning City.
"I'll go first, you drink slowly!"
As he spoke, Fuchen led his horse and prepared to continue his journey.
After walking a few steps, a scholar's timid voice came from behind him: "This hero, can I go with you......?"
Fuchen turned around, since the other party called himself a hero, he must have been embarrassed to refuse, and probably felt a sense of security by his side: "Where are you going?"
The scholar said nervously: "The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Fengjing, we can go to Nanling City together......"
Fuchen: "I have a horse!"
Scholar: "I have a donkey!"
Fuchen was a little worried that the other party would not be able to keep up with his speed, so he said, who knows that this scholar is quite strong, since he wants to keep up, then keep up, so that he also has a companion and no relationship, the basic rules of the mountains and forests Fuchen still understands, such a poor scholar, no one will come to rob, so there is no need to take care of him, if there is danger, just run first, but there is such a person, and he can also get in touch with the matter of reading.
"You say that you are a scholar, how can you not understand Buddhism...... Shouldn't you be well-read?"
The two of them walked on the official road like this, and when they got acquainted, Fuchen asked east and west, and the scholar's natural cowardice just set off Li Fuchen, who had just entered the world.
"I only want to gain fame in the next exam...... I can't ask for anything else......"
"This and that, just like when we practice martial arts, we have to be good at axes and forks, otherwise we can't beat people with bare hands without a competent weapon......"
"Yes, yes, the hero is right!"
"Don't call me Daxia, my name is Li Fuchen, from Dongning City, what about you......"
"I am also a native of Dongning City, but I am a rural place, in Xia Zhang Churen, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith. ”
"At first glance, he is a learned person......
The two of them, one on horseback and the other on a donkey, disappeared at the end of the official road.
At noon, the two finally came to a small town, and it was a lot more convenient to take this scholar Zhang Churen, which places to settle down before and after, what local characteristics are unique, and what cultural monuments can be brought together, so the two of them found an inn recommended by Zhang Churen and sat down.
"Li Gongzi, what do you want to eat?"
After sitting down, there were still a lot of people in the store, Zhang Churen asked at Fuchen.
"I'm not familiar with it, you can just order it!"
Zhang Churen came and ordered three home-cooked dishes, but they were all vegetarian dishes, and the floating dust asked the men to send some high-quality forage to the horses and donkeys, but they were despised by the beggars;
This made Zhang Churen a little embarrassed, Fuchen looked at the other party's clothes, it was not like a rich family, it was much worse than himself, although the Fuchen clothes were relatively simple, but the fabric sent by Xu Zhang was still very good.
Waiting for the dishes to come up, Zhang Churen put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating some of them, and looked at the floating dust eating a little exaggerated, and slowly envious in his heart.
"Li Gongzi, do you want to play in this town, although this place is small, it still has some characteristics!"
Zhang Churen looked at Fuchen and said in a timely manner after eating a few bites.
"No, let's keep going, I'm a little short on time......"
Fuchen replied to Zhang Churen, and then beckoned to Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, check out!"
Xiao Er bent over and ordered the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "Second master, a total of three taels of silver......
"Why is it so expensive!"
Zhang Churen exclaimed in surprise and was still ready to take out the money from his sleeve, while Fuchen took out the little monk's money bag directly from the clothes on his chest and threw it directly at Xiao Er.
Xiao Er looked at Fuchen so refreshingly, and explained to Zhang Churen with a smile: "This master, these dishes are only one or two silver, mainly because the forage is expensive......
And when Zhang Churen found three taels of silver and was a little reluctant to hand it to Xiao Er, Xiao Er had already left.
Floating Dust: "It's already been given!"
Zhang Churen put the silver in front of Fuchen: "How dare you bother Li Gongzi, please accept it." ”
Fuchen picked up the package and got up and said, "Don't see outside, pack up your things and go!"
So saying, the two men came to the stable, and took the horse and the donkey from the man who guarded them, and continued on their way.
Zhang Churen caught up with Fuchen and said: "Li Gongzi, let you break the bank, how embarrassing is this!
Fuchen stopped, patted Zhang Churen on the shoulder and said: "You are a very good person, but you are too verbose, don't you invite me all the way, don't care about a little money." ”
Fuchen said magnanimously, don't you know that in a few months, I only earned twelve taels of silver, and if I pushed it forward for two years, I only had eight taels of silver a month, and I couldn't eat three meals here, but now I have money, and when I go out to walk, what is the most important thing as a martial arts monk, that is, to be generous and heroic.
"In the future, you don't have to call me Li Gongzi, a hero or something, just call me Fuchen, I'll also call you Churen, so it looks kind, if you're really embarrassed, just tell me about reading or teach me literacy on the way......"
With that, Fuchen led the horse and continued to walk forward.
"I can't think of Li Gongzi...... You can't read and write...... So ......"
Zhang Churen didn't think of what he wanted to express for a long time, so he watched Fuchen lead the donkey and stepped up to follow.
The two of them left the town and mounted their mounts and continued to run forward.
After walking for a few hours, I saw a big mountain on the side of the official road, Fuchen looked a little spectacular, I thought that Zhang Churen would explain a thing or two to himself, but who knew that he didn't make a sound for a long time, and Fuchen turned his head to look and found that Zhang Churen's face was a little pale, clenching his teeth and being silent.
Fuchen asked with concern, "Chu Ren, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Churen trembled and gritted his teeth and said: "The mountain in front is called Huya Mountain, according to legend, there were many tigers on the mountain before, but then a group of robbers occupied the mountain as the king, and often robbed passers-by......"
"You were robbed?"
Zhang Churen lowered his head and said "um".
"Didn't you say that the heroes of the green forest don't rob scholars?"
Fuchen asked with some surprise, this is common sense not to rob scholars, scholars are worthless, and if they become officials, they will not be able to take revenge.
"I went to Changlin City to take the exam twice, and I was robbed both times...... But again, it's the way to go...... Why don't you hide your money and knives?"
Zhang Churen stopped the donkey and said to the floating dust.
Fuchen also stopped the horse and hid his things, what should he do about the road behind him, so this road will definitely not work, so he can only ask Zhang Churen to inquire.
"How many people are there on Huya Mountain, and are they strong?"
Zhang Churen's face turned even paler when he heard Fuchen's words, and he replied honestly under Fuchen's urging: "There were more than 50 people in the cottage last year, and I heard that the big boss can beat more than 20 people by himself...... If it doesn't work, let's take a detour...... It's only ten days of delay, and it should be fine!"
Fuchen pressed the knife on his waist, if he made a detour, he would be delayed for ten days, it would definitely not work, and looking at Zhang Churen like this, ten days is estimated to be less, looking at the mountain peaks in front of him, there is no way, if you want to stop me, it depends on their respective abilities!
"Let's go!" Fuchen spit out a word, slapped the horse's buttocks, hid the knife, and walked forward, paying attention to the surrounding movements at any time, Zhang Churen thought about it for a while and then gritted his teeth and followed.
Although it was not dark in the afternoon, although it was an official road, it still seemed very quiet, and there was no one on the road.
As he walked, he saw a man on a bare rocky hill on the side of the road in front of him, and after a while he ran down the mountain.
Seeing this, Zhang Churen hurriedly grabbed Fuchen and said, "They have already discovered us, it should be too late to leave now......"
Fuchen looked at the person in front of him inexplicably, this is too arrogant: "No, keep walking!"
Sure enough, after walking three miles, I saw a dozen or so thick men sitting around the corner waiting for the two of them.
"Leave the horses and donkeys behind, and everything on them, and get out of here!"
What's even more excessive is that he didn't get up when he saw the two coming, so he let a monkey-like minions greet him.
Fuchen didn't reply immediately, Zhang Churen was even more frightened and bowed his head silently, Fuchen looked at the people on the ground, counted, eighteen people, all have weapons, swords and axes, and there are even two people with wooden sticks, who look underequipped at a glance, but some of them are still wearing scattered armor in the army, which is a problem.
