Cai Ying took Li Haocheng and Lu Ping to the place where he lived, and the three of them had just sat down, when they heard the great Confucian introduce himself: "Old man Lu Ping, the word Maha, the title of the school palace is Qingxiang." ”

"It turned out to be a great Confucian in Qingxiang, but he has been famous for a long time!" Cai Ying's face was slightly solemn, the people who have titles in the Hundred Schools of Science Palace only look at knowledge and character, and without knowledge and character, even half-step sages have no chance to be titled, and while he arched his hand, Li Haocheng was standing aside but frowned.

'Maha?' The power of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty has flourished again?'

This is not Li Haocheng's thoughts, Maha is the provincial name of Vimalaya, a noun belonging to Buddhism, which is translated as "pure name" or "unsullied dust".

Since the great Confucian in front of him uses Maha as the word, although it cannot be said that it represents the rise of Buddhism's influence in the Tang Dynasty, it is still okay for the influence of Buddhism to rise again in the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, many things in Jiuzhou are plausible to the earth star, and the words are usually started by the elders when the younger generation and the crown, but according to personal liking, some people will make their own number, and when introducing to the outside world, according to their own preferences and identity, choose the introduction word or number.

Since the Lu Mojie in front of him is mainly based on words when he introduces himself, he obviously has a certain agreement with the Buddhist theory.

And a Confucian who has a title in the school palace agrees with the theory of Buddhism, which naturally also represents the upper echelons of the school palace or the Tang Dynasty, and once again accepts the power of Buddhism.

After Li Haocheng calculated from the details, he remembered the grievances and hatreds between the Tang Dynasty and Buddhism, and couldn't help but secretly complain: "Having said that, the Tang Dynasty is hanging Buddhism like this, and Buddhism has been calling it to come and go immediately, what the hell are these two forces doing?"

Speaking of the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Buddhism, it is a bad debt.

When the Xianqin Dynasty was shattered, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism made great efforts, but later the founding lord of the Tang Dynasty did not hesitate to fall to the immortal road because of his own geographical location and the idea of restricting Buddhism.

Coupled with all other factors, after the demise of Xianqin 10,000 years ago, the top combat effectiveness of Buddhism was basically limited to the Western Fanzhou, and it was either some second- or third-rate Buddhist forces that could not get out of the Western Fanzhou, or they were alone Buddhism cultivators.

I don't know if it's because of this reason, so that later, the Tang Dynasty, which had pit Buddhism once, threw out olive branches several times, and the Buddhists chose to help the Tang Dynasty as if they didn't remember to fight, and used it again and again as an important bargaining chip for the Tang Dynasty to balance the Xiandao forces.

At the same time that Li Haocheng deduced the changes in the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty from Lu Ping's table, Cai Ying and Lu Ping also had a friendly exchange, when Lu Ping heard that it was Li Haocheng who helped Cai Ying break through the Great Confucianism, he was quite interested, that is, to see Li Haocheng left in his natal picture scroll in the seven quatrains.

The breath of will that belongs to Li Haocheng contained in the seven-word quatrain, as early as when he finished writing, it was taken away by Li Haocheng, and later after Cai Ying's breakthrough of the humane order, this seven-word quatrain has become Cai Ying's thing.

"Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near. I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. Lu Ping read it twice, and immediately appreciated it, nodded and said: "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." This statement is the biggest problem that can break through my painting and break through the literary heart. ”

As he spoke, Lu Ping looked at Li Haocheng, and his eyes suddenly softened a lot.

Confucian painting is to see the scene in front of you, feel the charm in your heart, with the help of pen and paper to draw, how to choose the scene, how to integrate emotions and thoughts is a painting Taoist monk needs to study. This point is just as described in the first half of Li Haocheng's quatrain, in different positions, looking at Lushan in different directions, the mountains and momentum seen are completely different, which of course there are Lushan mountains and ravines, peaks and valleys, but there are also visions of people's subjective ideas.

In the second half, in Lu Ping's view, it is the finishing touch: the reason why you can't recognize the true face of Lushan is because you are in Lushan, your vision is limited by the peaks and peaks of Lushan, and what you see is only a peak, a ridge, a hill and a ravine of Lushan, just a partial scenery, and the feeling of taking this as a starting point is bound to be one-sided. Only by jumping out of Lushan and observing from the outside as a whole can we fully grasp the true appearance of Lushan.

And this kind of thinking happens to be in line with the essence of the Tao of painting, after all, the cultivation of the Taoist monk can integrate himself into the scenery and carefully understand the spiritual charm and spirituality in it, but he cannot indulge in it.

Just like a cultivator, you can only limit yourself to death or become a second "him" if you blindly pursue the path of others, but you can only limit yourself to death or become a second "him" if you blindly pursue the path of others.

And many painting monks are like this, they know how to integrate their emotions and thoughts into their paintings, and they also know how to reconcile the conflict between their own emotions and thoughts and the spiritual charm and spirituality contained in the scenery itself, but they can't re-summarize and summarize the two, what is the reason, isn't it that they don't jump out of the form of painting, indulge in the state of mind when painting, and find it difficult to jump out of the ideological limitations given by themselves?

And Li Haocheng's poem from the earth star, although it is only a scene, contains the philosophy of dealing with people, which just breaks the key point that Cai Ying failed to break through.

In the case of mental calculation and unintentional, Li Haocheng broke through the obstacle in Cai Ying's heart in one fell swoop, allowing his mind to be instantly ethereal, and at the same time, he also got a short-term breakthrough opportunity.

"This poem seems to be a scene, but in fact it is reasonable! It uses the scene to break through the philosophy of 'the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear', which is really a warning for us painting monks. Cai Ying, who is the biggest beneficiary, also nodded in approval, and then looked at Li Haocheng and joked: "You said that you have three unique chess and calligraphy paintings, and I already have a number of calligraphy and painting skills, I don't know how your chess skills are?

Cai Ying's last sentence was to Lu Ping, Lu Ping was stunned at first when he heard this, and then immediately knew that Cai Ying was going to take the opportunity of the game to let Li Haocheng feel the Confucian Wendao, and he had a good impression of Li Haocheng because of the seven-word quatrain, so he agreed to it.

So, Li Haocheng is the first to play against Cai Ying, who has just broken through the Great Confucianism, although his chess power is not superb, but his spiritual sense is outstanding, and his mental arithmetic ability is very terrifying, with his Taixu Dao method of simulation of various Taoist rhyme laws, many seemingly imaginative, useless chess pieces, always unexpectedly play a key role, again and again to pull him back from the edge of life and death.

In the end, the game between the two lasted for two days and two nights, and it ended with Li Haocheng slightly defeating half an eye.

"But it's me who has a little peep at the world. Cai Ying put down the chess pieces and looked at Li Haocheng with a face full of amazement, and Li Haocheng, who was slightly pale, got up and arched his hand: "The great Confucian is too famous." ”

"This is not an exaggeration!" Lu Ping, who was looking at everything in his eyes, said loudly: "Even in the Hundred Schools of Learning, there are very few bachelors who can defeat the great Confucianism of Wen's state of mind in the game, what is the reason? Isn't it because of the bachelor's jurisprudence that you can't withstand the suppression of the great Confucian jurisprudence? You can resist Cai Ying's jurisprudence and beat him in the game, which not only represents your high chess ability, but also represents that the legal principles you have comprehended are very compatible with the humane order, and the possibility of you breaking through Wen's state of mind in the future is far greater than others." ”

After speaking, Lu Ping took out a bag of tea leaves and a few tea-making utensils from his sleeve, carefully took out two tea leaves, boiled the spiritual spring, and used the art of tea ceremony to make tea, through a whole tedious process, condensed a small cup of tea, sent it to Li Haocheng's mouth, and said: "You drink this cup and play a game with me." ”

Li Haocheng took the teacup and drank the warm tea, the warm heat spread from the stomach, and the wisps of Wen Qi wandered in the meridians around him, and the spirit of small consumption was also shocked, and the pale complexion that had pretended to be weak and pale returned to ruddy, and he said with a look of surprise: "This is ......"

"Wenxin tea, a great benefit in the Hundred Schools Palace! If you are willing to join, you can also get it in the future!" Lu Ping introduced with a flat face, but judging from his careful act of putting away the tea, this tea is obviously not simple, he stretched out his hand and stroked, and the chess pieces on the chessboard flew up one after another and fell into the chess baskets on both sides, Li Haocheng and Cai Ying were slightly changed.

Confucianism and Taoism game is the Tao, each falling chess piece, contains a different truth, Lu Ping easily opened the chess game played by the two, showing far better knowledge than the two, worthy of a hundred schools of learning, with the title of Confucianism.

Lu Ping sat down, looked at Li Haocheng and said, "I'm an elder, you go first!"

Li Haocheng, who maintained the personality, showed excitement in his eyes, took out a chess piece from the chess basket on the side and fell, Lu Ping followed the fall, this time Li Haocheng knew that the odds of winning were too low, and he did not want to expose the roots, the overall chess path was mainly defended, and after struggling for a long time, he finally failed to stop Lu Ping's offensive and was slaughtered by the dragon.
