After Xu Jingwei retreated, Chen Gongyu turned around and walked towards Tallinn in the depths of the back temple. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tallinn is behind the world-famous glazed pagoda, which is the place where the relics of the monks of the great Bao'en Temple are stored, and there are several ascetic monks who stay here for a long time to participate in the wall of the ground to participate in meditation, and also have the meaning of protection. Therefore, this place is a forbidden place in a forbidden place, not to mention ordinary pilgrims, even monks in the temple are not allowed to enter, only the abbot and a few elders are eligible to enter.

Because of this, this place is unusually deserted on weekdays, making Chen Gongyu who walks in alone very dazzling.

Chen Gongyu walked strolling, as if entering a no-man's land, there was no monk to stop him, and he did not see the rumored ascetic monk appear, only the stone pagoda dedicated to the relics of the high monks, standing silently.

Walking to the deepest part of Tallinn, there is an old stone platform, a thin old monk slumped on the stone platform, the whole person is almost skin and bones, long eyebrows and knees, after feeling the unconcealed breath of the comer, the old monk opened his eyes with a little difficulty, looked at this junior Confucian student, frowned, and slowly said: "Tan Yue, you are here again." ”

Chen Gongyu stopped outside the stone platform, gently turning the wrench on his fingers, his attitude was relaxed, and he didn't seem to put the old monk in his eyes. You must know that this old monk is higher than the current Buddhist host of a generation of the former Arhat Hall first, once one of the three major scholars of Buddhism, but also Zhang Wuxian into the Buddha Gate of the guide, after the reincarnation of the old host of Buddhism, he stepped down as the first seat of the Luohan Hall, came to the Great Bao'en Temple to retreat, no matter the realm of cultivation or seniority, are comparable to the Taoist dust generation of the real people.

This old monk who is too old to be old in Buddhism and even in the entire cultivation world, slowly stretched out a hand and began to turn the rosary on his wrist, counting the beads twenty and three, and then the rosary broke and scattered all over the ground, the old monk looked at the rosary rolling in front of him, and said softly with a little understanding in his words: "Tan Yue, the poor monk is no longer the poor monk of the past, and the poor monk is powerless in some things." ”

"The Buddha taught his disciples not to speak. Chen Gongyu said without impatience: "The old monk should not be untrustworthy. ”

The old monk said: "The poor monk is not a lie, but with the world, when the poor monk promised Tan Yue, the poor monk is the first seat of the Arhat Hall, now Tan Yue came to see the poor monk, the poor monk is just an ordinary Buddhist disciple, the situation is not the same, the reason can not be generalized. ”

Chen Gongyu waved his hand and said, "Monk, I don't play sophistry with you, I have something to do." ”

The old monk asked rhetorically: "In the past thirty-two years, Tan Yue has met the poor monk four times, and which time is not the right thing?"

Chen Gongyu said: "Monk, don't you also promise me every time? You yourself know in your heart that there are only so many monks in the world, since the Taoist sect is prosperous and the disciples from all over the world are widely accepted, then the Buddhist sect can only wither talents." Look at it now, those great people of the same generation in the Taoist sect have long been looking for land to enjoy the blessings, and they will not show up when they are idle, and your Buddhism is not accepted, and it depends on you old people to come forward to support, if it weren't for this, you monk you wouldn't have made that covenant with me back then. ”

The old monk was silent for a long time, and sighed softly, "Before the poor monk formed an alliance with Tanyue, he once met Emperor Xiao, when Emperor Xiao first ascended the throne, full of ambitions, the poor monk advised Emperor Xiao to kill less and accumulate more merit, fame and fortune are just a passing cloud, and the emperor's hegemony is just a handful of loess. But Emperor Xiao replied to the poor monk that Buddhism always persuades people to put it down, but they don't know that they have to pick it up first and then they can put it down.

Chen Gongyu said with a smile: "This sounds like his tone, I remember that year should be the second year of Huanglong, it is not the right time for you to go, listen to the era name at that time, Huanglong, it is the time of the dragon and the ninth sky, how can I listen to your words? If you wait a few more years, when he changes the year name to Taiping, maybe he will believe your set of words." At this time, he had an old injury, life was worse than death, and he no longer had the ambition of Huanglong, only the idea of stealing life was left. tried in vain to use a peaceful era name to deceive others, and in the end, the world was peaceful, but he couldn't ask for peace!"

Although he was talking about Emperor Taizu of Great Qi, there was not much respect in Chen Gongyu's tone, but there was a lot of banter and schadenfreude.

If this remark falls into the ears of the imperial court, even if he is a Confucian gentleman, it is a great crime of treachery.

The old monk didn't care, just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What does Tan Yue want?"

Chen Gongyu hesitated for a moment, then stared at the old monk and said slowly: "I want to wear a white hat, I have been thinking about it for sixty years." ”

Even with the old monk's mental cultivation, after hearing this, he was shocked for a moment, and then shook his head again and again and sighed, "Tan Yue's plan is really beyond the expectations of the poor monk. ”

Chen Gongyu looked away and said calmly: "Otherwise, I have been working hard for many years, is it for the peace of the world, for the well-being of the people, for the sake of purifying all sentient beings? I am not a saint, and I don't have such great ambitions." ”

The old monk turned around, faced the cliff, and said softly: "Tan Yue, please go back, no matter what Tan Yue does this time, the poor monk can't do anything." ”

Chen Gongyu said calmly: "Monk, don't dare to give up, how can you get it? You Buddhists don't dare to be desperate like the Daomen, and you are destined to be pressed on your head by the Daomen forever." ”

The old monk stopped talking, but just recited a long Buddha name.

Chen Gongyu waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

Out of Tallinn, a middle-aged Confucian had been waiting outside Tallinn for a long time, and after seeing Chen Gongyu, he bowed and said, "Sir." ”

Chen Gongyu smiled warmly: "Yi Xiao, I'm back." ”

The middle-aged Confucian looked around and whispered, "Sir, do you want to take a step to speak?"

Chen Gongyu waved his hand and said, "But it's okay to talk about it, the old monk doesn't dare to use any heavenly ear communication in front of me." ”

The middle-aged Confucian nodded, and said softly: "Kong Mou was ordered by Mr. to lead the fleet to the sea, bypassing the storm corner, and going to the extreme west. ”

Chen Gongyu nodded, and said softly: "Since it is the storm blocking the way, it is the will of heaven, how can manpower overcome the sky? You have done your best, and you don't need to blame yourself." ”

Kong Yixiao bowed slightly, "Thank you, Mr." ”

Chen Gongyu said: "In a few days, it will be the Great Bao'en Temple to discuss the Tao, and after the discussion is over, you will go to the imperial capital to visit Andingbo's Mansion." ”

Kong Yixiao said: "The student is stupid, please make it clear." ”

Chen Gongyu said softly: "In the fifth year of Zheng Jianwen, the Northwest Army entered the customs, met the high city of Xiongguan, and could not be attacked for a long time, and the colored woman offered advice to Emperor Xiao, improved the trebuchet, and the range was more than doubled. A few days later, the cannon was completed, three hundred cannons were fired in unison, the sound shook the heavens and the earth, the flying stones were like rain, all the hits were destroyed, seven feet into the ground, the city wall almost collapsed, the army swarmed in, and the city fell instantly. In the following year, Wei Ban led the army from Shu into the lake, was blocked by Du Mingyu's soldiers, and still attacked the city with hundreds of cannons, Xiangfan guarded the general Wei Huang and surrendered to the city, leaving Du Mingyu trapped in the lonely city of Xiangyang. ”

The middle-aged Confucian asked, "Lustful woman?"

Chen Gongyu nodded and said: "Yes, a woman with lustful eyes, blonde hair and blue eyes, came from the extreme west, wandered to the central capital, was favored by Queen Lin, hired as a female official, and later made meritorious contributions to the improvement of the central capital, in the first year of Huanglong, she was named a viscount by Emperor Xiao, and in the second year of Chengping, Emperor Xiao promoted her to Zhongding Bo, in March of the following year, Xu. ”

The middle-aged Confucian suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "Could it be the woman surnamed Ai who was once the rumored teacher of Emperor Xiao?" But what does this Count Ai have to do with the person you are going to find in the Far West?"

Chen Gongyu looked down at his wrench finger and said softly: "When that woman came to the northwest, she was not alone, and there was a man with colored eyes who walked with her, but the man returned to the extreme west, and before leaving, he asked the woman to stay in the Central Plains and wait for him. ”

Chen Gongyu sneered, "It's a pity, I don't know if the man died on the way back, or if he had forgotten about this poor woman, in short, he never came back, and let this infatuated woman die in a foreign country." ”
