In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, but such a long time has still not erased Li Xian's longing for Master Xuanzang.
When the Master was still alive, Li Xian did not feel how important this person was to him, but after he left, Li Xian finally felt the deep friendship this person had for him.
"It turns out that it was the master who asked Zhikong to be my master. The two of them talked together for three days. The master gave me a Sanskrit version of the Yi Jin Jing as a gift. Only then did Zhikong agree to teach me martial arts.
, but later he saw that my qualifications were indeed extraordinary, so he regarded me as his disciple."
"It turns out that the reason why Master endured the torture of illness and refused to leave this world was to eliminate my sinful karma. At the same time, he kept visiting various Buddhist sects and publicizing me everywhere to enhance my reputation in Buddhism. He even
When Huineng said goodbye to Master Hongren and went south, Master Huineng asked Master Huineng to make my name known to all circles of monks and laymen."
"It turns out that in recent years, in order to make me famous in the secular world, my master has specially prepared corresponding sutras and articles to publicize the deeds of my King Buddha Guang everywhere."
"It turns out Master..."
"Oh, it's a pity that it's only now that I feel the master's deep care for me. The son wants to support me but his mother is not there, the disciple wants to be filial but the master passes away. This is really my greatest sorrow."
Li Xian stayed alone in his study, looking at the portrait of Xuanzang hanging on the wall, his eyes blurred with tears again and again, and he remained silent for a long time.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the door being slammed open. Li Xian couldn't help but frowned and stared. He was about to have an attack, but saw that the person coming turned out to be Li Jingye, the grandson of the British Duke. He was just about to have an attack.
I had to suppress my anger.
With Li Ji's acquiescence, Li Jingye and Li Xian's contacts have become more and more frequent in recent years, and their relationship has become more and more intimate. After these few years of interaction, it is difficult for Li Xian to change the current civil and military relationship.
Li Jingye, who has both talents, is associated with the famous rebellious investment in history. Perhaps the interactions in the past few years have changed Li Jingye?
Therefore, Li Xian no longer rejects Li Jingye, but truly treats him as his friend.
"Jingye, how did you learn to be so reckless and break into my study?" Although Li Xian was not angry, there was still blame in his eyes. The purpose was naturally to remind the other party to pay attention to etiquette.
But Li Jingye laughed and said: "I forgot my etiquette in a moment of impatience. Please forgive me." Looking at his playful smile, how could there be any sincerity in apologizing?
"Humph, let's forget it today. If we do it again next time, let's see how I deal with you?" Li Xian snorted, and then asked: "How come the British Lord didn't let you practice martial arts and study today, and allowed you to go to this place?"
Are you here to hang out at the palace?"
"Haha, my Aweng is in the palace discussing with the Holy Emperor and the Queen about going to Mount Tai to be enshrined in Zen. How can I be taken into consideration? What's more, before Aweng left, I had already asked Aweng for leave, saying that I wanted to accompany him.
Your Majesty went to Nanshi to relax."
"Sure enough, I am going to be immortalized. Hey, my mother really can't stop for a moment." Li Xian listened to what Li Jingye said, murmured, and then said to Li Jingye: "You, you,
You actually used relaxing with me as an excuse to be free and at ease. Tell me, what did you see this time?"
"Well, the king's sharp eyes are like a torch, and he can see through the villain's intentions at a glance. I can't hide it. I heard that a new batch of beautiful Persian orchids have been admitted to Nanshi. They are all thin and have a full hand.
Waist, green eyes, blond hair, and enchanting expression, it really makes people's hearts ache. The villain knows that the king has two thousand households, and the money in the house is like dung. You see that the villain has always served him respectfully, so why not take out some bounty and give it to the villain?
Two Hu Ji." Li Jingye had a flattering smile on his face and bowed and bowed to Li Xian.
"Go away." When Li Xian saw this, he cursed angrily: "Did you think that it is easy for me to get money? Although I have sealed two thousand households, this is also the grace of the emperor and the queen, but I don't need to ask the two emperors.
What's more, although I don't have any followers, I still have royal family members, and even the palace guards dispatched by my parents. All their salaries are provided by me. Do you know how much it costs? What's more, it's more like you to reach out.
A beggar wants a horse today, a healthy slave tomorrow, and a Silla maid, an orchid the next day, etc., which makes it even more difficult for me to save my little wealth, but you are still here to give me
I wear a high hat and ask you to obediently spend money with you. I am really a ruthless and unjust person. I can help you buy a few orchids today, but the cost of this purchase is yours. In the future,
If you have money, you must repay your debts."
But Li Jingye said with a bitter look on his face: "Is this still a loan? I owe the king more than a hundred guan. With my little monthly income, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay him until the year of the monkey and the horse. The king should be more generous and give me the money."
The villain's debt should be settled.
When Li Xian heard this, he glared and shouted: "Don't even think about it. The debt you owe me is not less than a penny. If I don't add interest to you, it is already giving you enough face."
"Well, didn't the king write off the debts of the subordinates many times? Why not treat the villain as a subordinate? No, no, the villain is willing to be the subordinate of the king, and please take him in." Li Jingye still refused to give up.
, continued to beg.
But who is Li Xian? How could he be deceived like this? He immediately sneered and said: "Hey, Xiao Wang can't bear to let the grandson of the British Duke do the drama. You don't need to use your brain, debt is inevitable
Yes. You say today, do you still want this Hu Ji? Do you want to borrow the money or silk? I am not in the mood to accompany you like this all the time."
"Borrow, borrow, of course." With a grimace, Li Jingye had no choice but to agree to Li Xian's request for a loan, and then pulled Li Xian out of the palace with an apologetic smile and headed straight for Nanshi.
Although Li Jingye looked bitter on the surface, his heart was sweeter than drinking alcohol, because he had borrowed hundreds of dollars from Li Xian, but the other party never asked him to pay it back, so in fact it was nothing like giving it away for free.
the difference.
But how did Li Jingye know? Li Xian was actually happier than him, because although he had lost some money, the total price of the money was actually not worth that much. The cost could be one of them. It was a good achievement. The reason is natural.
Yes, the large and small shops they visited before were actually Li Xian's business names.
Li Xian was able to pay dozens of dollars in exchange for Li Jingye being grateful to him, which was naturally a good deal. He only felt sorry for a certain noble man who was sold, but now he was helping Li Xian count the money for selling him.
.
Li Jingye proudly took Li Xian to the new Hu Ji shop he had heard about. Looking at the domestic slaves around Li Xian carrying carts full of money, he secretly thought that he must make a good slaughter today.
Little did this rich man know that Li Xian behind him had the same idea, and was trying to find a way to raise the prices of the orchids in his shop. On the one hand, Li Jingye owed him a greater debt, and on the other hand, Li Jingye owed him more debt.
They also used Li Jingye to create a sensation in advertising and strive for greater benefits for their own stores.
But before Li Xian walked to his shop, he found that the place was already surrounded by people. He couldn't help but feel strange: "Is it possible that the business in my shop is so good? There were so many people cheering for the new shop as soon as it opened?"
But he would never believe such an unbelievable thing, so it seemed like something had happened.
Thinking of this, Li Xian couldn't help but speed up and said to Li Jingye: "Jingye, I'm afraid things are not going well today. So many people are surrounding the store and looting. It seems that these orchids are very popular. If you can't buy them today,
Don’t blame me.”
When Li Jingye heard Li Xian's words, he immediately became anxious. He quickly walked into the crowd and shouted: "Everyone, give way, everyone, give way. The government people are coming."
Li Jingye was fourteen or fifteen years old at the time. He was strong and six feet tall. He was shouting and squeezing in. He didn't know whether it was his strength or the crowd.
He squeezed in.
"Haha, Qilang, it's not that people are rushing to buy Hu Ji, but someone is making trouble. Look, they knocked down several store clerks. This time there is fun to see." Li Jingye couldn't help but feel excited when he saw that there was fun to watch.
He laughed, clapped his hands, and greeted Li Xian who was behind him.
Li Xian was shocked when he heard this, because he knew the shopkeepers, doctors and clerks in his shop very well. These people were strictly controlled by him, and no one dared to cause trouble, let alone bully customers and ask for exorbitant prices.
, something happened today, someone must have taken the opportunity to provoke.
"Hmph, someone actually bullied me, Li Xian. I will make the troublemaker pay the price today." Li Xian was angry in his heart, and immediately followed Li Jingye to the center of the crowd, only to find two seventeen-eighth-year-olds.
Although the 20-year-old young master has a handsome face, he has a snarky look on his face and arrogant eyes. You can tell at a glance that he is not a good guy.
In front of the two young masters, there were more than a dozen powerful slaves standing side by side. They all had sinister faces and strong bodies. It was obvious from a glance that they were accustomed to relying on their masters to do whatever they wanted.
At the feet of the group of wealthy slaves, there were more than a dozen shop assistants lying on the ground, each one covering his head, hugging his legs, and screaming in agony.
At this time, the shopkeeper who was not far behind the waiter had a pale face and pointed at the older young man in front of him and said: "This young man, it's just that he just bought Hu Ji from a small shop at a low price, and now he takes action again."
It's really too much to hurt people. Although the shop can't do anything to the young master, there is still a city order in Nanshi, and there is a governor of Luoyang above it. Your Majesty is so contemptuous of the king's law, and is not afraid of the government's punishment. Is the king's law ruthless? "
But I heard the young master behind him laughing wildly and saying: "The government? Wang Fa? Hehe, I am Wang Fa? Do you know who I am? The emperor is my uncle, the queen is my aunt, and I am Empress Wu.
My direct nephew, this one is my cousin Wu Chengsi. My name is Wu Sansi. Are you looking for the city magistrate? Looking for the Luoyang Mansion? Even though you have done so, I am still worried that he will not come.
