002 Leaving home

Early the next morning, after Lin Bufan arranged the affairs of Yuquan Courtyard, he rode a fast horse and rushed back to Huayin County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the disgrace of Jingkang, the entire north fell under the rule of the Jin, and the people lived a very miserable life.

In later generations, everyone criticized the people proposed by the Mengyuan court into four classes, and beat the Han people to the lowest level. But what most people don't know is that the hierarchy of Meng Yuan is completely copied from the Jin people......

After the disgrace of Jingkang, the Jin people occupied all the land north of the Yangtze River and became the rulers of the time. After that, the Jin rulers began to divide the people under their rule into five classes.

The first class, of course, is the Jurchens;

the second class is the Bohai people;

the third class is the Khitan people and the Xi people;

The fourth class is the "Han people", that is, the Han people who lived in the sixteen states of Yanyun and were ruled by the Liao;

The last group is the "southern people", that is, the Han people north of the Yangtze River who fell under the rule of the Jin people after the Jingkang Change.

In the early days of the Jin rule, the rule of the Han people was extremely cruel. However, with the passage of time, the Jin royal family and upper-class nobles were first attracted by the Central Plains culture and began to "sinicize". The top is good, and the bottom is effective. After that, the life of the Han people was a little better.

Along the way, Lin Bufan also saw some people coming and going in a hurry. It doesn't look bad, at least better than the people of the Heavenly World...... At least the county magistrate of Huayin County is a Han man, and according to the people who came to see the doctor, this county magistrate is a good official.

When he was in the Yitian World, it happened to be the time when the traitor Boyan was in power. Boyan abolished the imperial examinations and drove out the Han officials, all of whom were filled by Mongols. At that time, the Mongolian officials would call the shots for the Han people? joke!!

When Lin Bufan got closer to Huayin County, the more people he met. Among them, it is inevitable to encounter some people who shave their hair on the left side......

What is shaving the left side? The so-called shaving of hair is, of course, shaving off the hair. Parents of the Han people who pay attention to their body hair and skin are not allowed to shave their hair at will. Of course, if the hair is too long, it will already affect daily life. Then people will ask their parents for instructions on shaving their hair. After getting the permission of his parents, he carefully cut off a small piece and kept it. If your parents are gone, ask for advice from your parents' tablets.

However, shaved short hair. Or shaving off a long section is a great unfilial piety, and no one will accept it. In the penal code, there is a special punishment for shaving off the hair and beard, called the shaved punishment, which is a punishment that tramples on dignity. Some would rather suffer a heavier punishment than shave their hair.

The left side is to cover the placket to the left, but the Chinese nation has always been on the right side since ancient times. Left and right, that is, the difference between you and whether you are a Yidi or a Han person. However, when the Jin people ruled Jiangbei, they began to forcibly implement the policy of shaving their hair and leaving the left.

Under the barbaric policy of the Jin. The people had to shave their hair to save their lives. But unlike later Qing rulers, the Jin did not enforce them all. If you're in a remote location and don't shave your hair, it doesn't matter, as long as the officials turn a blind eye, it's over.

Lin Bufan sighed with emotion after seeing these people who were shaving their hair left. Later generations have always been complacent about the inclusiveness of Chinese civilization. Think that no matter who you are, rule the Central Plains. will be transformed into Han Chinese. ...... of national integration For example, the Northern Wei Dynasty, such as the Northern Zhou Dynasty, such as the Tang Dynasty, such as the Khitan......

However, the integration of ethnic groups is mutual, and while the northern nomads are integrated by the Central Plains culture, the northern people are also infected by the nomadic culture. Hereafter. I only saw that when the Northern and Southern Dynasties were seen, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty reformed and completely sinicized. But I didn't see that since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the southerners and the northerners have been completely different......

But these things, Lin Bufan sighed with emotion, he couldn't do anything......

to Huayin County. At the gate of the city, I saw several officers and soldiers guarding the city, making things difficult for a down-and-out Confucian student, because he did not shave his hair on the left side. In fact, he just wants to extort some money, and the soldiers who defend the city are also Han Chinese, so he doesn't care if you shave your hair or not.

However, this Confucian scholar is clearly a nerd. Not only did he not bribe the officers and soldiers, but he preached to them the way of the sages...... tried to use the sage scriptures to make these two guys lose their way...... It was clear that he had been beaten......

Those two soldiers, where are they in the mood to listen to this nerd and talk about the way of sages. If you directly knock it down with one punch, you will have to lock it back to the yamen and punish the crime. If the crime is ready-made, it is not in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, and the left side of the hair is shaved.

Seeing this, Lin Bufan couldn't ignore it. He stood up directly and stopped the two soldiers. Lin Bufan is a Taoist priest and a monk, of course he doesn't need to, what kind of shaving is done. When Lin Bufan revealed his identity, the two soldiers respectfully obeyed Lin Bufan's words and let go of the tendoned Confucian student.

In the end, Lin Bufan said to the two: "The so-called relationship is born from the heart, now the two of you are not facing each other, in a few days, a catastrophe will come, what bad things are you thinking in your hearts? However, it doesn't matter what you think, if you don't want to die, you have to get rid of all the dirty thoughts in your heart......

When the two heard this, they immediately knelt on the ground in panic and begged Lin Bufan to help them think of a way.

The Huashan faction has a very high prestige in Huayin County, and they are all regarded as immortals. Moreover, the Huashan faction's "prediction technique" is so powerful that no one knows that Lin Bufan!!, as the master of the Yuquan Academy and the only disciple of the Huashan faction in Jiangbei, would dare to ignore his words.

After that, Lin Bufan said to them: "Mutual affection is born from the heart, as long as you can dispel the dirty thoughts in your heart, your face will naturally turn evil into good fortune!!"

Under the repeated pleas of the two, Lin Bufan made a few requests to them, such as having good intentions, not being too greedy, being polite to others, and so on.

Seeing that the two of them sincerely agreed, Lin Bufan was satisfied. I believe that under the threat of their lives, they will be a little more restrained when they guard the city gate in the future.

"Prediction" is a Huashan school stunt. But Lin Bufan didn't, he used the content of "Heart Phase" written by Chen Jun's ancestor.

At that time, Chen Kuan ancestor worshiped Mai Dao Chang as a teacher in Emei Mountain, studied the "Book of Changes", and went to Huashan to live in seclusion with Mai Dao Chang, and jointly wrote the book "Mai Shenxiang". But later, when Chen Tuan ancestor lived in seclusion in Huashan in his later years, he wrote a "Heart Physiognomy Chapter", which made a more systematic discussion on the appearance of people. And put forward the idea of "born from the heart". This "Heart Chapter" naturally fell into Lin Bufan's hands, and Lin Bufan also read it, but he didn't study it too deeply.

Still, look at the two illiterate soldiers. Still no problem. Because this kind of person is simple-minded, what he thinks in his heart will be directly expressed on his face, which is what Chen Tuan Ancestor has always said "born from the heart". But for those who are secretive and have a deep city. That's where the Tao comes in. At least Lin Bufan can't do it.

The difference between the Huashan School's "Heart Phase" and the general fortune-telling is that Chen Tuan Ancestor believes that the face is born from the heart. A person's physiognomy is constantly changing according to the thoughts in his heart. Of course, this will take time.

We have always said that if someone has a thief's eyebrows and eyes, he is not a good person at first glance, if he has a pale complexion, he is a lustful person at first glance, and if he has a thin chin, inverted cheeks, and prominent cheekbones. At first glance, he is a mean person. So how is a person's physiognomy formed? Is it fixed all the time?

Chen Tuan Ancestor believes that a person's appearance can be subtly changed through the day after tomorrow. The kind of person you are will look like. For example, a womanizer, every time he moves lewd thoughts, he will hurt his kidneys, and in the long run, he will naturally turn pale. A petty thief, he is always on the alert. Naturally, your eyes will be dripping and rolling. A person who thinks about everything day long, his mind is too heavy, his mind is pressed in his heart, and his heart is not smooth. If you lose both qi and blood, you will naturally become mean.

As for those mouths, they are: "This strong man, you have a face to restrain your wife, your son, your father, and your mother, and you are born with a lonely destiny." If you give Poor Dao two taels of silver, Poor Dao will help you change your life against the sky......" goods, Chen Tuan Ancestor is extremely despised. It's clearly a lie.

"Psychiatry" is an extremely rigorous discipline, in today's parlance, it integrates psychology, medicine, sociology, mathematics and other disciplines. It is also a science that persuades people to do good.

For example, Lin Bufan told the fortunes of the two soldiers, which was not really nonsense. The two of them looked "stingy", obviously greedy for small gains all year round. The lips turned up slightly, apparently because he often blackmailed passers-by because of his ruthlessness. If they unscrupulously extort passers-by like them, it is easy to meet some dignitaries and nobles who cannot be provoked, or heroes who are not afraid of death, so their fate can be imagined. Therefore, Lin Bufan said that they were in a catastrophe, which was well-founded.

If they follow Lin Bufan's teachings, they will be polite and conscientious. At least you won't suffer because you ran into an "iron plate". Maybe it will be valued by some dignitaries and nobles, so that it will come and go. This is the essence of Chen Tuan's "Heart Phase", looking at the face is only a means, and persuading people to be good is the goal.

But compared to "Heart Reading", he prefers "health preservation" and various medical skills. People's energy is limited, and Lin Bufan can't be proficient in everything. Whether it is "Psychic Studies" or medical skills, it takes decades of study to achieve something.

After solving this matter, Lin Bufan went home directly.

The Lin family is one of the largest households in Huayin County, so it is easy to find, just walk along the street.

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the Lin family has always been a famous scholarly family in Huayin County. But as the Jin people went south, the Lin family gave up the idea of becoming a leader, and would rather be a businessman that they had never looked down on, rather than being an official for the Jin people. As a scholarly family for generations, the Lin family naturally has a certain amount of wealth and extremely terrifying connections. In this way, how can it not be profitable to do business!!

So over the decades, the Lin family has become one of the best.

Although the Lin family is full of money, it has a very high prestige in the Huayin area and is very loved by the people, because the Lin family never makes black money.

The Lin family is engaged in the business of medicinal materials, and to be honest, this business is extremely profitable! Extremely profitable!! those medicinal materials that grow in poor and remote areas and rot are managed by everyone, after being transported to the Central Plains, the price will not only increase tenfold, but more than a hundred times.

The Lin family has connections, and if there are no problems in the transportation link, they can make money lying down. But Lin Bufan's grandfather once set up an ancestral precept that enough money is enough, and it is strictly forbidden for children and grandchildren to take advantage of the plague and war to raise the price of medicine to make black money. Therefore, the price of the Lin family's medicine is very cheap, and when you meet some people who really can't afford the medicine, they will be allowed to pay on credit. But despite this, the Lin family still has something to earn. The Lin family has done this. The rest of the money will be earned with peace of mind.

Over the years, Lin Bufan has provided free clinics every month and donated medicinal materials to doctors. It's all from the Lin family.

When Lin Bufan returned to the Lin family, he saw that the housekeeper of the Lin family had already waited at the door with a few servants. In fact, when Lin Bufan educated the two soldiers at the city gate, he had a smart mind. ran to the Lin family in advance and told the Lin family the news in exchange for a reward. The eldest young master of the Lin family is the master of Yuquan Academy, and the entire Huayin County knows it.

After Lin Bufan handed over the reins in his hand to a servant, the butler came up and said, "Young master, the master and the lady are waiting in the lobby now." ”

"Hey. Lin Bufan nodded to the housekeeper and walked in.

After Lin Bufan entered, the housekeeper said to a servant: "Let the cook cook cook more meat today." The young master is filial piety to the old immortals. It's been three years since I've touched meat, so let him eat enough this time. Look at his thin ......," the butler chattered a few more words, and then went to the lobby.

Lin Bufan now looks indeed a little thin. After all, he is still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and in addition, he has not eaten a trace of meat at all in the past three years. But don't look at him thin, but he really fights......

Lin Bufan's mother, Zhang, couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw Lin Bufan's thin appearance. Not long after Lin Bufan was born, he was carried to Yuquan Courtyard by his master. For so many years, the mother and son have been together less and more apart. But mother's love will not be compromised in the slightest because of the length of time and distance.

Before Lin Bufan could salute his parents, he saw Zhang grabbing Lin Bufan. After pressing Lin Bufan on the chair. He sat down in the chair next to him and began to babble on asking him all sorts of questions.

Zhang changed his usual dignified and generous and completely immersed himself in Lin Bufan's narrative. I will feel sad because Lin Bufan is sad, I will be happy because Lin Bufan is happy, and I will be proud because of Lin Bufan's achievements...... As for Lin Bufan's father, Lin Haoxuan. Like a monk who has attained the Tao, he holds a tea cup and sits peacefully on the chair, his face unmoved. But judging from his ears raised high, Lin Haoxuan is not really like a water......

Lin Bufan just talked about his experience in the past few years while enjoying the care of his parents. Lin Bufan knows his experience in the past few years, and his parents know it. After all, the housekeeper has to deliver medicinal herbs every month...... But they were willing to listen to Lin Bufan himself again......

Although Lin Bufan is more than 200 years old, it does not mean that he has completely annihilated his humanity and has completely become detached.

No, if Lin Bufan is a believer in Buddhism, then two hundred years is enough time for Lin Bufan to cultivate to the realm of the four great emptiness. At that time, he will completely see through all worldly feelings. If Lin Bufan is a pure Taoist disciple, then two hundred years is enough time for him to look down on everything, and then hide in the mountains to cultivate immortals.

But Lin Bufan is not.

Everyone thinks that when they get older, they will see through feelings, but this is not the case, the older you get, the more important your feelings are.

Because when some people get old, they will see through fame and fortune, success or failure, gains and losses. At that time, all that was left was affection, the love of husband and wife, the love of father and son, the love of brothers, and the love of grandchildren..... At that time, family, friendship, and love were the pillars of their survival. If an old man can't even see through his feelings, then what is he doing alive......

Like Zhang Sanfeng in the original book, at the centennial birthday banquet, in the face of Zhang Cuishan's tragic death, his old man also burst into tears and was uncontrollably.

So when Lin Bufan faced the heartfelt care of his parents, he was very happy and happy.

After a while, the butler came in and said that the meal had been prepared.

The Lin family's meals have always been very simple, but today they uncharacteristically put a lot of chicken, duck and fish on the table, and the portions were very large. After Lin Bufan smiled embarrassedly, he sat on the chair and feasted on the chicken, duck and fish on the table. In the past three years, Lin Bufan has not tasted any meat at all, but he is hungry.

Seeing Lin Bufan's gobbling up, Zhang's heart suddenly hurt. It was very bitter to live in a house and keep filial piety for three years. Although Lin Bufan still lives in Yuquan Hospital for the monthly free clinic. But the meals on weekdays are strictly in accordance with the rules of filial piety.

After wiping the tears on her face with a handkerchief, she nagged dissatisfiedly: "Although it is the practice of keeping filial piety for three years, you are already an outsider, why do you have to abide by this convention...... Besides, that's just your master'......"

Lin Bufan raised his head and smiled, didn't speak, and continued to eat. It's just a mother whining, and she won't understand the merits......

But he enjoyed it, the feeling of being pampered by his family. As an "orphan of the third generation", no one craves family affection more than him, longing for the favor from his parents.

Lin Bufan spent more than a month at home in this way, and only after New Year's Day did Lin Bufan start to plan his trip. (New Year's Day is the ancient name of the Spring Festival, and when Yuan Shikai was in power, the Gregorian calendar should be quoted.) The first day of January in the Gregorian calendar is called New Year's Day, and the first day of January in the lunar calendar is called the Spring Festival)

On this day, after dinner, Lin Haoxuan called Lin Bufan to the study and asked, "I heard that you are going to the Quanzhen Sect?"

"Yes, three months ago, the Quanzhen Sect came to Yuquan Courtyard to post that it was the Chongyang True Immortal who had passed away. But at that time, I was guarding my filial piety for Master, and I couldn't go anywhere, so I didn't go. But now, no matter what, I'm going to pay a visit to the Quanzhen Sect. ”

"This should go, but there is something for the Father that needs you to do it. Some time ago, Western Xia once again launched an attack on Hengshan. Although they were repulsed, the troops stationed in Hengshan suffered heavy losses, not only were they full of wounded, but they were also short of medicinal materials. Therefore, General Wang sent people to ask for help from his father, and these days, he raised a batch of medicinal materials for him. You ......"

The batch of medicinal materials organized by Lin Haoxuan were all used to treat sword wounds. Now in northern Shaanxi, there are a large number of bandits, strongmen, and people in the rivers and lakes, and these things are all things they dream of. But the Lin family has never had any contact with those people in the rivers and lakes. It made him break his head for a while. However, when he heard that his son was going to visit the Quanzhen Sect, he suddenly had an idea, and he heard that the "Changchunzi" Qiu Chuji, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen, had a very high martial arts ......

"No problem, I'll leave this matter to me, I'll escort it over directly......"

When Lin Haoxuan heard this, he immediately jumped up, waved his hand at Lin Bufan, and said: "No! No! So when the time comes, you'd better ask the Taoist of the Quanzhen Sect to come with you. My father heard that the 'Changchunzi' Qiu Dao Master has a very high martial arts skill, so I can ask him for help......"

Lin Bufan suddenly laughed dumbly when he heard this, and asked Qiu Chuji to help? What are you kidding!!

But Lin Bufan knew that his father was worried about himself. After all, he is only seventeen years old this year, and no matter how he counts, he is a child. Even if he told his father that he was strong in martial arts, his father would not believe it. So in order to reassure his father, he bowed down and agreed. As for whether or not to ask Qiu Chuji for help at that time, then ......

After seeing Lin Bufan agree, Lin Haoxuan's heart suddenly fell to the ground.

Three days later, Lin Bufan, who was ready, set off with a convoy carrying medicinal herbs. Although it is relatively safe to go from Huayin County to Zhongnan Mountain, it is relatively safe along the way. But in order to prevent accidents, Lin Haoxuan still hired a few martial artists with a lot of money, and he tried everything along the way.

Although Lin Bufan was speechless, he still did not refuse.

Lin Bufan knew that the reason why his father provided medicinal materials to the defenders of the Jin Dynasty for free was not that his father wanted to be a "traitor". Mainly the army stationed on the border of Western Xia, except for the commander, and the important generals are Jin, ordinary soldiers, all of whom are Han.

The most important thing is that now the Jin Dynasty has very little bullying of the people, and the current people are okay for the time being. Once the Tangut people kill it, the entire Shaanxi area will become a hell on earth again. So now Lin Haoxuan has no choice, he can only help the defenders stationed in Hengshan to tide over the sadness.

Not for "defending the country", but for "protecting the family". (To be continued.) )
