Chapter 61: Don't Think
Zhao Ran's brain teaser turned and he desperately pulled the conversation back: "Hmm...... Master Zhicheng has a discerning eye, so he can see through the joints...... Well, though...... But then again, Master Zhicheng wants to make this Senior Sister Song let go of her bad fate through a few years of tempering, I'm afraid it's not the best way. The best way is to let this Senior Sister Song understand it by herself, yes, let her understand the fate of it by herself. For example, let her meet the mountain guests again, completely dead this heart, and if she doesn't really let go of it from the depths of her heart, how can she take refuge in Buddhism?"
Xingzhen nodded and mended: "What Cheng Shi said is reasonable, just from the fact that she still has this calligraphy and painting by her side, it is a clear proof of her unwillingness." The persistent heart can not be consumed by the power of perseverance, because of the effort, the result is with the fate, the heart is not hindered, but there is no obstacle. ”
Mingjue was united, and said to the true nature: "Thank you senior brother for your advice." ”
Subsequently, Mingjue said that he wanted to go back to Qukong Temple, plead with the master, and let Senior Sister Song turn back to the Ming Dynasty to break the fate.
Now Zhao Ran was relieved.
The two sides also agreed that after Mingjue went back, he would ask for leave from Tianlong Temple, and when the time came, he would invite Cheng Shi to go to Qukong Temple in Baiyin Mountain, and Zhao Ran readily agreed.
Monk Xingzhen is a mantle monk of the West Hall because of his special duty, and he has to assist the elder of the West Hall Master Xugu in handling various affairs every day, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find time, so I will not go.
Zhao Ran really didn't expect such a result after eating a vegetarian meal, he was afraid that there would be twists and turns after refusing the invitation, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. He sometimes often thinks that he is really tired and tired, so he has practiced the exercises that require running and tiring, so he will encounter things that require running and tiring everywhere.
The relationship with the two monks of Tianlong Academy, Xingzhen and Mingjue, and the contact with the two abbots of Xilin Temple, Longyang and Wulan, often make Zhao Ran have a feeling that these Buddhist monks are still quite easy to deal with, except for a few, most of them are often more pleasant to get along with.
They know how to be tolerant, understand humility, know good and evil, and are willing to abide by poverty, and many eminent monks do not feel superior to others because they are cultivators, but are willing to talk to you normally, talk to you seriously, and never regret what they promised, let alone rely on the practice of practicing the exercises to bully at will.
It's a pity that Buddhism and Taoism are competing, and the Central Plains Ming and Western Buddhism are hostile, resulting in more and more wars and endless fights between each other. In fact, from the middle and lower levels, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, from the perspective of human nature, it is the same.
Just like this time, Qukong Temple did not directly bombard Song Yuqiao because she was a Taoist cultivator, but took a fancy to this girl's so-called "Buddha nature" and planned to let her convert to Buddhism.
As for his own changes, if he had encountered this kind of thing a year ago, I am afraid that the only thought would only be to kill the door, whether it is an open robbery or a secret robbery, in short, he will not be able to escape a military solution.
But now, I actually want to intercede and release people through relationships, not only do I think so, but I do so, the key is that it is also feasible.
Thinking about myself again, these elites of Xingqing Mansion who I got acquainted with did not shout and kill because of their identity as Ming merchants, but made money and made a fortune together and had a lot of fun. It's a little incredible in retrospect.
Well, you can't think about it anymore, it's disrespectful to the Daomen to continue thinking like this!
Zhao Ran threw away distracting thoughts, and after returning to the Jinbo Club, he immediately asked Li Laoshi to find out the detailed list of members, carefully checked among hundreds of names, and then fixed his finger on one of the names, and said to Li Honestly: "You go and invite Cui Niang to come over." ”
The next night, the original reservation was scheduled for three days after the Imperial City Division Deputy Envoy Li was fortunate to be told by the Jinbo Club that he heard that the Deputy Envoy Li was coming to drink, and the Jinbo Club specially vacated the private room of Weiai, and his banquet could be advanced to the same night.
Of course, Vice Envoy Li is willing, the only Ai Pi private room in the Jinbo Club is famous among the magnates of the entire Xia Kingdom, and it is quite a face-saving thing to be able to entertain guests in it. So Deputy Envoy Li hurriedly reposted the post to the invited guests.
That night, the Cheng family personally came to the private room to toast, not only to give a few freshly baked dishes from Jinbo Restaurant for free, but also to take out the treasured Daming daughter Hong and Deputy Envoy Li and his party to drink. Deputy Envoy Li and the guests at the table were all drunk in the various wine jokes of the Cheng Dong's house.
After Zhao Ran frowned and went back, he thought hard for a long time, and he got a news that he didn't know whether it was important or unimportant-the matter of Changning Valley back then was not what he imagined!
The news of Mingjue came quickly, and he had already taken three days off in Tianlong Courtyard, saying that he was going back to Baiyin Mountain to visit his teacher, and was preparing to leave early tomorrow morning.
Baiyin Mountain is not very far from Xingqing Mansion, about more than 130 miles, most of which is a road, which can accommodate horse-drawn carriages to pass freely, so it can be reached in half a day.
The carriage was naturally in charge of the Jinbo Club, and early in the morning, Zhao Ran let the handlebar drive to Tianlong Courtyard and picked up Mingjue outside the door.
After all, it is the core hinterland of the Xia Kingdom, and the official road of more than 80 miles is quite bright, and the carriage runs fast, and the two of them are chatting in the car, and they have completed this road in more than an hour.
Arrange a handlebar type to stay at the big car shop next to the road to watch over the car, and you can't take the car for the remaining fifty miles. Because of his identity, Zhao Ran could only pretend to be an ordinary person, so he couldn't use the Taoist method to hurry, this problem was easy to do, he simply used some food, and rented two horses in the big car shop, and after getting off the official road, he went to the north.
After passing through a forest, walk upstream along the silver water, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and the ride on the horse is more bumpy. Mingjue didn't have the slightest gossip, but just controlled the horses to slowly move forward with Zhao Ran.
This made Zhao Ran very embarrassed, but he could only pretend to the end, and slowly grind his temperament with Mingjue and go up the mountain, but his good impression of this monk increased a few points.
The last part of the mountain road is particularly rugged, and it is not until near dusk that you finally arrive at Qukong Temple.
Qukong Temple is not big, from a distance, it is estimated that it covers an area of five or six acres, five or six palaces, dozens of houses. Zhao Ran felt that it was probably inferior to the area of his own Jinbo Club.
But although the temple is small, the surrounding scenery is quite considerable, several big banyan trees stand towering in front of the temple, naturally constitute the mountain gate of Qukong Temple; in front of the temple and behind the temple are all kinds of strange flowers and trees that cannot be said to be named, there are flowing springs and waterfalls on the mountain cliff in the distance, which makes people look at it and be pleasing to the eye.
Thank you for meeting me at the peak, eating enough to support 2013, Xia Feixia's reward, and continue to thank everyone for their ticket encouragement!
