It wasn't until the fifth watch that the two of them came to an end temporarily, Zhang Wuxian was still light and light, but Xu Beiyou was out of breath, and the qi in his body was almost exhausted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Beiyou took the inexplicable sword back to the sword box behind his back, sat in front of the bonfire, and with a flick of his fingers, the bonfire suddenly dimmed, and the flames, which were originally about two feet high, were only a little spark.

Xu Beiyou asked, "Zhang Zhihu, what do you think?"

Zhang Wuxian stood aside with his hands in his hand, and said: "No wonder Gongsun Zhongmou will take a fancy to you, your understanding is really good, this night's hard work is not in vain, it can be regarded as touching the threshold of Xuangong, I will write you a mantra for Xuangong later, and you will insist on cultivating in the future." ”

Xu Beiyou arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Wuxian waved his hand, and the bonfire that had been extinguished was lit again, and said: "According to the different directions and methods of cultivation, the Daomen is divided into five major factions, namely the Jishan faction, the Danding faction, the Fu Seal faction, the Zhanyan faction and the classic faction. Next is the Danding faction, that is, the path you are taking, in the past hundred years, there has been a Tianchen Dazhen who has ascended to the immortal, so it ranks second. The classic faction has not produced outstanding characters for many years, and the number is small, ranking fourth, and the leader of the Zhanyan faction is the great real person Qingchen, since Qingchen's apostasy, the Zhanyan faction has been implicated and suffered heavy losses, ranking fifth. ”

Xu Beiyou asked, "What about the third-ranked Fu Seal Sect?"

Zhang Wuzhi said: "The Fu Seal faction has the largest number of people, but it is a plate of loose sand, there is no leader, and there are not many masters, so it is in a position that is not up or down, and everyone in the faction is either obeying the orders of the Jishan faction, or attached to the Danding faction, although this finger Xuan Gong is from Lu Zu's Dan Dao, but it is created by an ancestor of the Fu Seal faction, pay attention to the two fingers between the square inches that is, the spirit rune, I remember that the Sword Sect also has a sword talisman technique, you can combine the two, it should be infinitely useful." ”

Xu Beiyou kept bending his fingers, shook his head and said, "I've never heard Master mention any sword talisman techniques. ”

Zhang Wuxian said disapprerovitously: "Although the Sword Sect's peerless learning is not as vast as the Daomen, it is not something that can be learned by one person, since your master has not mentioned it, then you should ask your master." ”

Xu Beiyou nodded.

Zhang Wuxi said softly: "Remind you one more point, although your master's realm is not as good as your master, her ability to press the bottom of the box may not be less than your master's. ”

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "Just let it be." ”

Zhang Wuxi continued to fiddle with the bonfire, not to rely on the bonfire for warmth, let alone to bake something, after all, at his level, what cold and heat do not invade and eat and drink dew, it is just ordinary, purely an old habit left over from the early years of marching and fighting, if you don't make a fire overnight in the wild, it seems that something is missing.

Xu Beiyou glanced at the white belly of the fish that gradually emerged in the sky, and asked, "Where are we going next?"

Zhang Wuxian said flatly: "Go to the Great Bao'en Temple in Jiangzuo." ”

"Da Bao'en Temple?" Xu Beiyou was surprised.

Da Bao En Temple, one of the oldest Buddhist temples, formerly known as Jianchu Temple, is the beginning of Jiangnan Pagoda Temple, and Tianjie Temple and Linggu Temple are called the three major temples of Jiangdu. In the early years of Dazheng, Zheng Taizong ordered to rebuild it completely according to the specifications of the emperor of the palace, in order to thank the first emperor.

After the reconstruction, the Great Bao'en Temple can be called splendid, the lights are bright, there is a glazed pagoda among them, nearly 100 zhang high, the whole body is built with glaze, it is the highest building in the world, it is called the first tower in the world.

"That's right, it's Da Bao En Temple. Zhang Wuxian said slowly: "There are four hundred and eighty temples in the south of the Yangtze River, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. This poem shows that Buddhism once flourished in the south of the Yangtze River, and the most important of the 480 temples is the Dabao'en Temple. There are more than 6,000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures in this Great Bao'en Temple, and it is rumored that there is a Seven Treasures King Pagoda in the Great Bao'en Temple, and there are Buddha's true bones in the tower. Therefore, monks of all sects gather here, and it is a first-class Buddhist holy place. ”

Xu Beiyou worried: "Then will we ......?"

"Sheep into the mouth of the tiger?" Zhang Wuxian saw through Xu Beiyou's thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Buddhism and Taoism are not all the way, the reason why I want to go to Dabao'en Temple this time is also to see an old man on the way, he was my guide to enter the Buddhism, and he has lived in seclusion in the Dabao'en Temple for many years, and now I want to leave the Buddhism Gate to go to the northwest, and see him, that is, to make an explanation, but also to see the last meeting, if there is no accident, I am afraid that there is no goodbye period in this life." ”

――

Da Bao En Temple covers a vast area, second only to the former imperial palace in Jiangdu City, if you walk through the entire temple, it will take about half a day's work. There is a river channel dug artificially in the temple, called the Perfume River, traversing the north and south, taking this river as the boundary, dividing the Dabao'en Temple into two halves before and after, only the front temple is open to the outside world, the whole back temple is to refuse pilgrims and tourists, that is, some Buddhist disciples of slightly lower status, and they are also not allowed to enter.

Two men dressed as scribes walked slowly along the bank of the Perfume River, one of them was dressed in a green shirt, his face did not seem to be confused about his age, but his temples were already white, and his elegant demeanor was very elegant.

The person who can walk side by side with Chen Gongyu, a Confucian gentleman, is not simple, surnamed Xu Jingwei, self-proclaimed idle scholar, proficient in the theory of yin and yang, once an official to the Ministry of Rites, and now he is a first-class celebrity.

Chen Gongyu was the first to stop, put his hands behind his back, looked at the perfume river and smiled: "You came so early, it must be that the matter has already come to an end." ”

Xu Jingwei nodded and said, "Sir, clever." ”

Chen Gongyu said with a smile: "What a clever calculation, the Qingchen Dazhen of Daomen is known as the first person in the world, when the Red Lady Rebellion, he met Lin Yinping and Xiao Yuyi's mother and daughter on the grassland, and on a whim he made a hexagram for the two, leaving both of them with the prophecy of the queen's life, and then it was not true, Xiao Yuyi was married to Emperor Zheng Ai by Emperor Xiao, and became the last queen of the Great Zheng Dynasty, Lin Yinping was the founding queen of Daqi, and the proverb of the year was completely fulfilled. It's just that Qingchen has ever calculated that he will fall into such a fate as betrayed and separated from his relatives today? Divination has always been easy to calculate the past and difficult to calculate the future, easy to calculate others and difficult to calculate himself, and difficult to count people who are unfamiliar with him.

Xu Jingwei said with a smile: "Even if it's not a clever calculation, it depends on Mr.'s strategy." ”

Chen Gongyu glanced at him lightly.

Xu Jingwei suddenly restrained his smile, half-lowered his head and was silent.

Chen Gongyu retracted his gaze and looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "Everything in the world is done by people, the so-called general trend of the world is actually human power, rather than exhausting efforts to pursue the unpredictable, unknowable providence of heaven, it is better to grasp the hearts of the people in front of you, and push things with the hearts of the people, then the general trend is in the hands, invincible, and the hearts of the people are the hearts of heaven." ”

Xu Jingwei hesitated, but still didn't speak. Others don't know, but he knows the details of Chen Gongyu, this person is the best at guessing and grasping people's hearts, and rarely misses, so he can always anticipate the enemy's opportunities, almost making people mistakenly think that he has the ability to predict the future.

Chen Gongyu said slowly: "There are priorities, that matter is almost here, you can put it first, the most important thing at the moment is to sit down and talk about it in a few days, if my expectations are good, Zhang Wuxian has already found Xu Beiyou and started to rush here." In the final analysis, this Da Bao'en Temple is a stage, Zhang Wuxian and Xu Beiyou are the spectators below, Mr. Xu, you are the corner of the stage, and you have to hold the shelf and suppress the group of spectators under the stage on that day. ”

Even if he was compared to a ninth-rate play, this Jiangnan celebrity was still not half angry, but just humbly taught.

Chen Gongyu muttered: "The three women in Jiangdu City, although they don't have a big picture, they have a small abacus, they are all good at running the family, and it is difficult to do something under their noses." If you want to break the stagnant water in Jiangdu, you can only bring in the living water from the outside. ”
