As he spoke, Zhao Ran wanted to get up. Of course, he was posturing, but he really wanted to hear it.

As soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Mingjue and sat down again. Mingjue said: "Today's banquet for the Chengdong family, how can you drive the host and guest away? No, no, these are the words of the family, as the senior brother Xingzhen said, the Chengdong family has heard it and forgotten it." ”

Everyone sat down, and Mingjue continued to talk: "It just so happened that during that time, I received a report from the Imperial City Division that the mission failed, saying that it was besieged by the Daomen in Ninggu, a high-ranking official in Sichuan, and retreated without being defeated......"

Zhao Ran listened with a smile quietly, but he chuckled in his heart, and the tea cup in his hand shook slightly!

Xingzhen interjected: "You mean the report sent by Deputy Envoy Li of the Imperial City Division? I remember reading it at the time, there was nothing unusual, and I didn't see the name of Master Xugu. ”

Mingjue said: "I checked the file, and during the period before Master Xugu broke through the realm, the Imperial City Division invited him to come and talk about the Dharma. ”

Xingzhen smiled: "You also have no evidence to talk about, just listen to the story." ”

Mingjue also smiled: "It's originally a story. But I always feel that Master Xugu is very interesting, and it is by no means as simple as his resume on the surface, otherwise he would not have been inexplicably appointed as an elder of the West Hall. ”

Talking and talking, the dishes of Bao'en Temple have also been handed over one after another, in addition to the green vegetables, there are all kinds of beans, especially the vegetarian fish made of tofu, vegetarian duck and so on, not only the appearance is beautiful, but also the taste is excellent, it is indeed worthy of the name.

In this world, Buddhism does not prohibit eating meat, the Xia country is fine, the weather in Tibet is cold, extremely cold, and the monks who have just entered the practice can't stand it if they don't eat meat. Only those schools with extremely strict precepts have similar prohibitions.

But since there is such a gimmick, Bao'en Temple happens to do a very good vegetarian meal, so it has gradually become a resort for everyone to play.

After tasting the vegetarian food of Bao'en Temple, he removed the plate and bowl and re-brewed the fragrant tea, and said to Zhao Ran: "Cheng donor, last time I got a picture of a mountain guest here from the donor, and after returning to Tianlong Temple, I played with Mingjue's junior brother, and Mingjue's junior brother was very happy......"

Zhao Ran nodded and said: "Next time, if there is a chance, I will send someone to Daming to see if I can ask for a text panel from the mountain guest, and I will also give it to Master Mingjue." ”

Xingzhen nodded and said: "This time, I invited the benefactor to come, and it was not for the words of the mountain guest." My brother is a cool and good calligrapher in his life, but he is obsessed, with the poor monk's view, in fact, it is very well written, and the benefactor is the collection of everyone, please come out today, is to ask the benefactor to identify and identify, point out. ”

I see, Zhao Ran understood in seconds, and immediately laughed: "It's a good thing, come, I can see the calligraphy of the monk today, and it is a blessing for Cheng!"

Mingjue was modest, and shook out a few calligraphy scrolls from his sleeve, this sleeve must be a storage artifact, Zhao Ran pretended to be surprised and envied for a few sentences, and then spread the scroll on the table to inspect it.

When it comes to calligraphy, Zhao Ran is an expert, although the world before crossing is not worth mentioning, but here, he has become a top master with his unique and novel calligraphy innovation. Of course, his current identity cannot be revealed, but it does not affect his judgment with a vision beyond the world.

The three are all small letters, but they are three essays, Zhao Ran has not read them, I don't know who wrote them, I guess it was written by the monk Mingjue, but he is not good at opening his mouth, so as not to show timidity, so he just tastes calligraphy.

At first sight, Zhao Ran was slightly surprised, it was really a good word!

Under the gaze of sexual truth and clear expectation, Zhao Ran pondered for a moment and said: "If you come from the sky, go from the sky, it is really a good word, and it is so deep that there is no true meaning in the Buddha...... The word Master Mingjue is on par with Zen Master Tang Shiyong. ”

Mingjue suddenly had a spring breeze on his face, and said humbly: "The benefactor has a good reputation." ”

Sex Zhen praised: "Cheng Shi really has good eyesight, the poor monk, the junior brother, since he was a child, he has been the two kings, and the most admired is the Yongzen master." ”

Zhao Ran said: "I see, I really won three of them. Cheng had a reluctant request, and I don't know if to say it. ”

Sexual truth: "If the benefactor has something to say, he doesn't need to see outside." ”

Zhao Ran nodded: "These three characters, can Master Mingjue cut his love?" Jinbo Auction House will hold the sixth special session of the Autumn Calligraphy and Painting Auction in two days, but unfortunately there is no pressing work. Cheng wanted to invite these three works to the stage to add color to the auction. ”

How could Xingzhen and Mingjue not be happy? The two of them invited Zhao Ran to come out to eat vegetarian fasting, just for this.

The matter was negotiated, and the relationship between the three of them was a little closer.

Since it comes to calligraphy, the three enthusiasts have a wide range of common topics, and when you talk about it, you talk about the mountain visitors who are now very popular.

Mingjue admired the "mountain body" of the mountain guest very much, and actually collected one, so he took it with him to figure it out every day, and as he spoke, he took out another scroll from his sleeve and displayed it on the table, but it was a painting in a word.

In the painting, a woman walks on the bank of a sandbar with a hoe on her back, gradually sinking into the clouds. In the blank space above are written sixteen timeless small letters:

"The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yi people, on the water side. ”

Mingjue's finger scroll explained: "This is an inscription by a mountain guest for the woman in the painting, which should be an early work. ”

Zhao Ran's heart was shocked, and he looked at this calligraphy and painting for a long time.

Seeing that Zhao Ran was silent for a long time looking at the calligraphy and painting, Mingjue was surprised and said: "Has Master Cheng seen this painting and calligraphy? Could it be that this work is a forgery?"

Has Zhao Ran ever seen this painting and calligraphy?

When Zhao Ran first entered Wuji Academy, Zhou Yi, who was the prefect of Long'an Mansion at the time, held an elegant gathering in Beacon Villa. Yu Zhiyuan, the head of the same calligraphy department, invited Zhao Ran to the pen meeting, where he met the graceful and luxurious female crown Zhou Yumo, who was shocked at that time.

Zhou Yumo took out his self-made landscape and asked Zhao Ran to inscribe it, and Zhao Ran took up the pen and wrote down these sixteen words.

Carefully identified, Zhao Ran was shocked. Where is a fake, this is absolutely genuine! It can't be more authentic!

The question is, how did this calligraphy and painting get into Mingjue's hands?

Zhao Ran stabilized his mind and said, "There is no doubt that it is genuine, and there will be no fake." I just don't know where the Master of Enlightenment came from?"

This calligraphy and painting is the beginning of the tacit understanding between him and Zhou Yumo, and now it has fallen into the hands of Mingjue, the deacon monk of Tianlong Academy, which is really uneasy and uneasy.

Zhao Ran thought about it, and there were two most likely reasons, one was that Zhou Yumo transferred this calligraphy and painting to others, and then went to Xingqing Mansion;

If it is the former, then the meaning behind it is really sad, and if it is the latter, Zhao Ran can't imagine it......
