Chapter 8: Masters See Masters
I have heard a lot about the story of Shakya Bodhi along the way. This man came on foot from the far west, preaching and preaching all the way, eating and sleeping in the open air, and not eating grains. If the mountains and rivers are blocked, they will open the mountain with their fingers and cross the water with Ping, which is the reincarnation of the Buddha and the person who proves the Tao by himself.
I also heard the brocade-clothed boy say, "Don't mention whether this Shakyamuni Bodhi is stupid or not, but the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise." Today, the door will not be opened to welcome guests, but it is a final conclusion. Outside Dayan, there is the ancient kingdom of Canaan, which is eyeing the country; inside the powerful ministers and eunuchs are in charge, filling their own pockets; the feudal towns in various places are divided, and the government decrees are not reached. It's already in jeopardy. Even if the 'Right Party' represented by Wu Tingsheng, who is known as a famous minister who ruled the world, saw the opportunity, realized the stubborn disease, and pushed for administrative reform, it was too late to be born. The heavy medicine is not poison, and it is regrettable that he died on the couch. When the 'Right Party' lost its leader, it asked the old man Wu of Yuzhou to come out again. However, the old man was very old, and when he was in pain of losing his son, he politely refused, and only later did the third prince of Wu be ordered to enter the court as an official. At this time, the forces of all parties are ready to move, the court gathers troops and soldiers, the Wulu Domain Town responds to the call, and the four scholars and scholars gather in Beijing, which is very lively......"
"It's lively. The construction of the defense line in western Xinjiang has been strengthened, and the taxes have been heavy, and the people have struggled to make a living. At this time, the soldiers and horses moved, and it was even worse, and the court was not afraid of chaos in the world?"
Only then did Jian Shuzhi know why Mr. Wu went to Beijing from the Spring and Autumn Academy to take up a post, as Hong Lao said, the burden on his shoulders was too heavy, and this was to provoke the country and the family. The four major colleges gather in Beijing, will Miss Wen, who has not been in contact for a long time, accompany her?
The little fat man seemed to guess what Jian Shu was thinking, and he squeezed his eyebrows there.
Ge Fuzi was amazed in his heart, the little maid has such knowledge, this brocade boy must be from an extraordinary background, not an unknown person.
I saw that Ge Fuzi had just picked up the wine glass, as if he wanted to drink a glass with the brocade-clothed boy, but he heard a cold snort in his ear.
"Scholars mislead the country, and they talk on paper. The strong man sitting in the corner said something for no reason.
After hearing this, the hand that Ge Fuzi picked up stopped in the air awkwardly, and smiled bitterly.
Jian Shuzhi was worried that the strong man and the boy in brocade would disagree and fight. If it really starts, it will inevitably be the boy in brocade who will suffer. Just looking at the physique, the strong man is bigger than the boy in brocade, not to mention, the strong man also carries a knife......
The boy in brocade has a good temper and is not angry. The girl who was called Xiaoyu ridiculed the strong man, "The scholar misled the country, what about the martial artist?" but listened to the boy in brocade and blocked each other, "Xiaoyu." Don't be rude. He raised his glass, turned his head, and toasted a glass of wine. The maidservant did not dare to disobey the boy in brocade, so she said no more.
The strong man ignored the brocade-clothed boy, picked up the wine glass and went straight to the table of Ge Fuzi. "Forgive me for being clumsy, but Mr. Ge Fuzi?"
"Mr. doesn't dare to be, the old man is Ge Hongru. β
"I just made a mistake in my words, and I ask the Master to forgive me. I was just indignant, and I didn't mean to despise the scholars in the world. Gao has always admired Mr. and hated to meet him, so he toasted him. β
Ge Fuzi and the strong man touched a glass of wine, relieving the embarrassment of raising a glass in the air.
Ge Fuzi said: "What the good man said is true, my generation of scholars misled the country, and there is a negative grace. But after all, there are a few, after all, the scholars still take self-cultivation and Qi family to level the world as their own responsibility, do their best, and die. β
The boy in brocade saw that the strong man ignored him, but he was not annoyed. I also heard that Master Ge had signed up for his own number, but it was the same name as Wu Xuansheng in the Spring and Autumn Academy, so he opened his mouth and said to Master Ge: "The junior Lin Shixian has seen Master Ge. When he had finished speaking, he bowed.
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. The team of horse merchants traveled south and north, saw a lot of the world, and was no stranger to the name Lin Shixian. Gu Er, they all stopped chopsticks and turned their heads to each other. Seeing that the strong man took the initiative to toast to the old Confucian student, and saw Lin Shixian saluting the old Confucian to the junior, it can be seen that this old Confucian is highly respected and should be a big man. I haven't heard much of the name Ge Hongru, but if it is replaced by Ge Fuzi of the Spring and Autumn Academy, everyone knows it.
Ge Fuzi hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Lin Gongzi's name is like thunder, and I am fortunate to meet him." β
The little fat man asked Jian Shuzhi in a low voice, "Is Lin Gongzi a famous person?"
Before Jian Shuzhi could answer, Ge Fuzi tapped the little fat man's head and said, "Don't be rude." He smiled at Lin Shixian, the son of brocade, "I also hope that Lin Gongzi will not pay attention to the child's words." Then he explained to the fat man, "Lin Gongzi is a famous family, he can pick up a pen when he gets off the horse, and he can kill the enemy when he gets on the horse, and he is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs in Dayan." β
The little fat man let out an "oh", "That's famous." β
Everyone laughed.
Ge Fuzi turned to the down-and-out man again and asked, "Good man, please forgive the old man for being dizzy, he doesn't know the true face of Lushan, and he still wants to ask your Excellency for your honorable name?"
The down-and-out man replied: "Gao Fengxiang in Xiayunzhou." β
Gao Fengxiang, a well-known sword master in the Dayan Empire, has few opponents in Yunzhou with a big frost knife.
The group of horse merchants couldn't help but smack their tongues, each of these people came from bigger than the other. First there was Lin Shixian, and then Gao Fengxiang came out, these masters of the rivers and lakes are rare to see on weekdays, but today they met two.
Ge Fuzi seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Brother Gao! The old man and the ancestor knew each other, and they never wanted to meet his disciples here. See you today, drink three pots of pain, and don't get drunk and don't return. β
Gao Fengxiang said with a smile, "That junior will do it first as a respect." β
After Ge Fuzi and Gao Fengxiang drank a glass of wine, they took the initiative to invite, "Meeting is fate." If Lin Gongzi doesn't dislike it, he can't help but sit over and drink together. β
"The descendants thanked Mr. for their kindness, and it was better to be respectful than to obey his fate. Lin Shixian called the tavern guy over and ordered: "The expenses are all in my name, and I will pay the money and two together." He also said to Ge Fuzi and Gao Fengxiang: "That night, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha today, and order a few pots of good wine to help the fun." Ge Fuzi hurriedly thanked him, and Gao Fengxiang clenched his fists.
The maidservant Xiaoyu beckoned the man to remove Gao Fengxiang and his own table of wine and food. Lin Shixian moved to our table and rearranged some delicious food and wine.
At this time, Jian Shuzhi and the fat man sat together and occupied one direction, and Ge Fuzi was adjacent to the fat man and occupied the other direction. Gao Fengxiang sat opposite Ge Fuzi, Lin Shixian sat opposite Jian Shuzhi and the little fat man, and the maidservant Xiaoyu stood behind Lin Shixian.
Ge Fuzi raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. Today, it stands to reason that I have to be the host. I had no choice but to give up. β
Gao Fengxiang also picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Lin Shixian smiled, "It's a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning." I just don't know where Mr. will lead his protΓ©gΓ© on this study tour?"
Ge Fuzi said with a smile: "This time I am not going out to study, but to escort these two guys to Jingshi." It is also time to travel and increase their knowledge. β
Lin Shixian said: "In this way, Jingshi will be even more lively. My master and servant also happened to go to Beijing to join in the fun, why don't you go together, just have a care?"
Ge Fuzi stroked his palm and said, "That's very good. One can take care of each other, the second is to find someone to drink, and the third is to ask questions...... Why not. It's just that the old man and his party are three people, some old and some young, and their feet are weak, so I don't want to delay the ......trip."
"Sir, this is tormenting the juniors. It is an honor to be able to solve problems for Mr. The younger generation is not on this trip, there is nothing important, just to sharpen the mood. Lin Shixian raised his glass and smiled at Ge Fuzi.
Gao Fengxiang also raised his wine glass and said solemnly: "If you don't dislike it, Gao is willing to walk with him." β
Ge Fuzi was even more overjoyed, and said with a smile: "That's even more unbelievable, and this line of work won't be lonely......"
......
After Linyao Ancient Town, continue to travel north for two days, and arrive at Jiayu County. The city gate was already in sight, and the fat man shouted for joy, "Master, look, look." It's almost time to arrive at Jiayu City. Ge Fuzi was covered in dust, sweating profusely, and exhausted, with the support of Jian Shuzhi, he slowly straightened up and looked into the distance.
Under the white clouds, above the loess, there is a dilapidated city wall standing majestically between heaven and earth, the city wall is mottled, and when the wind blows, there will be fine rammed earth dust falling down.
Gao Fengxiang grinned, spat out, and said, "In the past two days, the bird has almost faded out of its mouth, and it is all the taste of earth. β
Lin Shixian said: "When you arrive in the county, you might as well find an inn first, rest and recuperate, and then make travel arrangements." Mr. Ge has been in a hurry for days, and he is already miserable. After settling down, let's go find a wine shop and teahouse to satisfy our cravings. If you have enough time, take the two children to the temple fair. β
Ge Fuzi gasped for breath and said, "That's fine. The old man is very old, dragging everyone down. β
......
When I approached the city gate, I felt the height of the city gate, and four carriages could be parallel in the city gate without feeling narrow. Looking up, the walls are dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and it looks like they haven't been repaired for years. Under the sun and rain, the doors of the city gate also exuded the smell of decay. People come and go in the city, and the peddlers are pawns, leading carts to sell pulp.
I found an inn to live in and asked for four rooms. Jian Shuzhi, Little Fat Man, and Old Master Ge live in one room, and the other three people live in one room. The little fat man disliked that it was too crowded for three people to live in one room, so he instigated Jian Shuzhi to go to them to discuss taking one in. Ge Fuzi squinted his eyes and didn't say anything, secretly happy in his heart. Jian Shuzhi's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood that the two of them had come prepared, and they had already colluded.
Jian Shuzhi knocked on the door next door, only to see the strong man Gao Fengxiang blocking the door.
When Gao Fengxiang saw Jian Shuzhi holding the cotton wool, he understood what he meant, turned sideways and let him into the room, and asked, "Disgusted by the little fat man?"
Jian Shuzhi said "um" and put the cotton wool on the table in the room.
Gao Fengxiang glanced at Jian Shu, closed the door, approached and whispered to him, "Last night, I accidentally saw you practicing body training in the mountains and forests, and you actually achieved a little success, and you will soon be able to enter the stage of easy tendons...... As far as I know, the Spring and Autumn Academy will only teach the two arts of archery and royalty, however, your martial arts foundation has obviously been instructed by a master, and your skills are extremely strong...... When did the Spring and Autumn Academy hide such a martial arts master?"
