(I’m so excited. The first league of Liaozhai was finally born. It’s so exciting and I’m so grateful... Well, the monthly votes are over 500. I’ll wait for three updates tomorrow, and there should be three updates the day after tomorrow. Congratulations to the leader of League A!)
Jinshan Temple, Monk Dawn...
Chen Jianchen had heard about Jinshan Temple after entering Suzhou City. It was a large temple with a long history. It was built on the edge of a bend in the lower reaches of the Suzhou River. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and covers an area of hundreds of acres. It is very majestic and has its own unique characteristics.
It is one of the ten scenic spots in Suzhou and is very famous. During the anti-Buddhist actions of the imperial court over the years, Jinshan Temple was not implicated and remained standing. On the contrary, it became more and more popular. There must be something unique in it.
Chen Jianchen suddenly thought that there are three major schools of Taoism: Laoshan, Kunlun, and Shushan, so there should also be leaders in Buddhism? Could it be this Jinshan Temple?
But having said that, why did Emperor Zhengming organize the promotion of Buddhism this time and specially invite many monks from the Duyin country? The roots of the Buddhist family have a long history, but in the final analysis they were all introduced from the Duyin country, but the Jinshan Temple
After Mai entered the Central Plains, after many years of preaching, many changes should have taken place in both form and content...
After meeting with Monk Mingxiao, Chen Jianchen immediately knew that his method was profound, but he didn’t know exactly how profound it was. The acquaintance with Taoist Master Qingyun allowed him to understand many common sense concepts related to Taoism, but for the Buddhist family
, not much is known.
Or, really want to go to Jinshan Temple?
Judging from Monk Mingxiao's attitude just now, it seemed that the other party did not have any ill intentions, and he also left a message, asking him to go over and talk to him.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Chen Jianchen had returned to the downstairs of the inn where Wang Fu was staying, but saw that the Huangfu family's carriage was still at the same spot and had not left.
"Sir, you are back."
The coachman Ma Liu saw him and greeted him quickly.
Then Xiaoju walked out of the carriage and said, "Sir, the lady wants to see you."
Chen Jianchen said oh, lifted the car curtain, and stepped in. He saw Jiao Na sitting inside with her head lowered, motionless. Chen Jianchen told Ma Liu to drive out of the city and stopped talking. He sat down and leaned on the cushion, closing his eyes slightly.
Close your eyes and rest your mind.
——The confrontation between him and Ming Xiao on the busy streets was invisible and qualitative. Although it was only tentative, it had already caused Chen Jianchen's spirit to suffer a great loss. He had to rest for two or three days to recover.
There was an unspeakable silence...
"Sir, why don't you scold me?"
After an unknown amount of time, Jiao Na finally summoned up the courage and asked.
Chen Jianchen snorted coldly: "Is it useful to scold you?"
"Sir, did you already know the true identities of my father and me?"
"good."
At this point, there is no need to hide anything.
Jiao Na was shocked, raised her head, and looked at Chen Jianchen eagerly: "Then why aren't you afraid, sir?"
Chen Jianchen laughed loudly: "A scholar should be upright and transparent, able to understand reason, understand emotions, and be able to distinguish right from wrong. Therefore, in my eyes, people and monsters are all the same. The only difference is the thoughts of good and evil."
When he said these words, he was candid and selfless, as if he was saying a great truth that was applicable to all countries, and it was very resounding.
Wow!
Jiao Na, who was opposite, suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into Chen Jianchen's arms. Her tears were pouring out, and Chen Jianchen's clothes were wet in a moment.
She cried so loudly that Xiaoju, who was sitting outside, heard the noise and thought that the husband was beating the young lady. This gentleman was really cruel. If he really succeeded, how could he beat the young lady to pieces?
However, Xiaoju had previously been told by Jiaona not to enter the carriage no matter what happened. The young lady always said what she said, so she did not dare to violate it and could only endure it.
Looking at the crying Jiao Na, Chen Jianchen sighed: This vixen is actually just a naughty child. After getting into trouble, she desperately wanted to find a solid and warm support... Or maybe, she had brought the eight masters before
The crux of the problem is not that they don't like learning, but that they are too boring.
People will always do all kinds of counterintuitive things when they are bored, let alone a vixen? It makes the world turn upside down, and the family has no peace. Maybe it just wants to find some entertainment.
"Okay, Miss Huangfu, if you keep crying like this, if someone outside Huangfu sees you, they will think that I have bullied you."
Jiao Na still buried her head deeply and said: "It's you who bullied me!"
Chen Jianchen laughed dumbly and said: "If you keep crying, your eyes will become swollen into two peaches, which will be ugly."
Sure enough, these words had an effect. Jiaona's crying stopped. She looked up and saw that a large area of Chen Jianchen's chest was wet with her own tears. She couldn't help but blush slightly with embarrassment.
Chen Jianchen shook his head and sighed, and murmured: "No wonder those gentlemen in the past resigned voluntarily. Being a young lady's teacher is really not something that ordinary people can afford. You have to teach and be a nanny at the same time."
Jiao Na showed a rare expression of coyness and said, "Where is it?"
Chen Jianchen smiled, but did not want to dwell too much on this aspect. He changed the topic and asked: "Miss Huangfu, you have been involved in the human world and have lived in Huzhuang for many years."
Jiao Na bulged her eyes and suddenly became alert: "Why are you asking about this?"
Chen Jianchen chuckled: "I just want to understand."
Jiao Na said: "But I haven't gotten to know you yet. That night, you broke my spell... Well, how can you, a scholar, have such ability?"
Chen Jianchen said proudly: "That's because you underestimate the scholars in the world. Confucius said: 'I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring righteousness.' As long as scholars have upright thoughts and perseverance, they will be immune to all evils and can control even the smallest magic spells.
What’s in it for me?”
Regarding the existence of "Sanli Zhenzhang", it is as secret as keeping it in a box. Under normal circumstances, he is unwilling to tell others, and there is no need. You must know that in the Tiantong Dynasty, it is easier to believe that scholars cultivate righteousness.
——Even for many years, everyone has only heard about it but not seen it.
Righteous?
Jiao Na was stunned. She had heard her father talk about this concept. Huangfu Yuanwai once mentioned "righteousness" when she was teaching Chun Chun. But Jiao Na didn't take it seriously at the time, just thinking that it belonged to an ethereal temperament.
It is a virtual concept. Its essence is the same as "conscience". It cannot be seen or touched, let alone what kind of power is added to it? But the performance in Chen Jianchen is completely different. He can turn righteousness into a sword, and the sword is powerful and quite powerful.
Is Mr. lying?
Still, this is the true transformation of righteousness!
In just a moment, Jiao Na had already made up her mind: all the recent events had suddenly broken her boring life, especially the monk she met on the street before, which gave her an almost suffocating feeling.
Jiao Na had no need to doubt that if Chen Jianchen had not appeared in time, she would have been taken in by the monk.
Killing demons is the bounden duty of monks and Taoists, just like cats are born to catch mice.
In the past, Jiao Na thought that she had succeeded in cultivation, condensed golden elixirs, and could transform into ghosts and spirits. From then on, she could do whatever she wanted in heaven and earth. But today, when she secretly ran out to play, she suddenly realized that there is a sky outside the world, and there are people outside the world. In front of a truly enlightened monk
, how weak and helpless I am.
No wonder daddy always refuses to let him go out...
Only today did Jiao Na suddenly realize her father's good intentions and begin to understand why she must study by herself.
Reading can make you understand and enlighten your wisdom!
I always think that I am a useless scholar, but it turns out that I am just generalizing. Let’s talk about Mr., his every move, his words and deeds are completely different from those ordinary scholars and scholars. He has a masculine spirit and magnanimity.
stern.
Is this the real reason why he can condense his righteousness?
In an instant, Jiao Na had a lot of clues, but there were still many things she didn't understand, so she didn't care. Anyway, Chen Jianchen saved her life today, which was enough to prove that the other party had no ill intentions. As for everything else, she would tell her father when she gets home tonight.
Just report it and let him make up his mind.
The carriage sped away. Chen Jianchen had left the carriage and went outside, while Xiao Ju went in to serve the young lady.
As soon as Xiao Ju entered, she saw Jiaona's eyes were red and swollen, and she immediately asked angrily: "Miss, sir, do you really have to hit you?" She looked around, but didn't see the ruler, and suddenly thought that maybe Chen Jianchen hit you directly with his hands. Is this okay?
Unexpectedly, Jiao Na replied calmly: "Sir, he didn't hit me!"
Xiaoju was dumbfounded: "That young lady just cried so loudly?"
Jiaona pouted and said, "Young lady, I can cry if I like."
Xiaoju didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then she remembered that her young lady's temper was only three months old and could change at any time.
Sitting outside, Chen Jianchen did not hold a scroll to read, but chatted with Ma Liu. During the conversation, Ma Liu said that he had found out the reason why Li Daguan had unveiled the list, but it was because recently a Taoist priest with high magic power had been invited to his home. This
The origin of the Taoist priest is incredible. He is a Celestial Master on Longhu Mountain. He is called "Celestial Master Zhang". He has the ability to summon the wind and rain, sow beans into soldiers, and kill demons with just one sword.
"What? Master Zhang?"
Chen Jianchen was stunned when he heard this, and his only thought was that he immediately remembered that there was such a Zhang Tianshi in Jiangzhou. At that time, he was invited by Wu Wencai, and he received a lot of money to use this method to deal with him. Later, his spell was broken, and the operation failed overnight.
It was rolled up softly and fled away without knowing its whereabouts.
A wooden sign with a yaksha pattern left at the scene is still placed in Chen Jianchen's bookcase.
Is there any connection between that Tianshi Zhang and this Tianshi Zhang?
It can't be such a coincidence...
Boom!
Suddenly, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, a loud noise shook the earth, and everyone was shocked.
Chen Jianchen suddenly looked up and saw dark clouds suddenly forming in the originally clear sky, and falling overwhelmingly, as if they were about to press on people's hearts, creating a maddening sense of oppression.
Thunder in the cold winter, something unusual happens, it’s really rare!
