All the beautiful things in the world are actually priced secretly. When everyone in the world lives a good life, it is because others are paying silently.
Naha became the girl holding the lamp. An ordinary Hu girl suddenly became a symbol of happiness that everyone envied. In the Tang Dynasty, there was no distinction between races. What a wonderful thing it was.
Yunchu hoped that the child would be happy forever, thinking that God had treated her extremely well, and that this was a good thing because the old monkey cared so much for her.
Therefore, Yun Chu would never tell others that he once used his best Wu Duo stone to kill a person who didn't know whether he deserved death in the Imperial Academy.
Copying the "Book of Rites" is actually a process of deepening the impression. The purpose of reading the "Book of Rites" is to know the contents by heart, and to follow the teachings in it unconsciously in daily life.
The "Book of Rites", which has a total of 5,270 words, cannot be written down in one day.
Therefore, when Yunchu was halfway through dictating, he heard from some classmates who were not concentrating on their studies that the Ximing Temple in Yankangfang was on fire.
Then, a large group of people rushed out of the classroom and looked towards Yankangfang five streets away. Sure enough, thick smoke was billowing there. Although the fire could not be seen, the fire must have been so big that the smoke almost covered half of it.
Xicheng.
The men in black who were still searching for the murderer immediately ran away on horseback. It seemed that they didn't care about this place.
Yun Chu took one look at it, then returned to the classroom and continued writing the "Book of Rites" silently. Di Renjie also came back from outside. He sat cross-legged on the futon and thought for a while, then asked Yun Chu directly: "How far can you throw a stone?"
?”
Yun Chu said without even raising his head: If I throw a spear, I should be able to throw it fifty steps. If I throw it from a horse and the wind is favorable, I can reach eighty steps.
I haven’t considered throwing stones, but a stone weighing half a kilogram should be enough to take thirty steps without running."
Di Renjie nodded and said: "I have calculated that there are sixty-seven steps from the door of our teaching building to the place where Xu Yanbo fell, and there is a row of teaching buildings in the middle. When you heard Xu Yanbo's scream, you were at the door of the teaching building.
."
Yun Chu nodded and said: "You are absolutely right. Xu Yanbo's death has nothing to do with me, even though I wanted to kill him when I saw him riding a horse and hurting people."
Di Renjie looked at Yun Chu and said, "Why do I still think you killed Xu Yanbo?"
Yun Chu put down his brush and sighed: "So, after you learned that the deceased was Xu Yanbo, Xu Jingzong's beloved grandson, you deliberately shouted at the classroom door, do you want me to escape, or do you want me to be exposed?"
Di Renjie frowned and thought for a while and said: "It may be more likely that the tip-off is better. After all, I don't like Xu Yanbo either. The moment I saw him hurting someone on horseback, I also wanted to drag him off the horse and beat him up."
."
Yun Chu took out the two eggs he packed in the morning from his arms, handed one to Di Renjie and said, "I don't know your name yet."
Di Renjie took the egg and peeled it while saying: "Di Renjie, courtesy name Huaiying."
Yun Chu, who was about to bite the egg, was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "If you haven't found a place to live yet, come to Jinchangfang. There are many houses there that are very suitable for students to live. Although they are thatched houses, but...
It is very clean inside and has large windows. When you open the window in the morning to hear the bells of Da Ci'en Temple, you can see the magnificent Da Ci'en Temple.
In addition, the walls there are as white as snow, the door is spotless, there are small bridges, flowing water, houses, and after spring, there are countless flowers, plants and trees that are pleasing to the eye.
In winter, when the snow falls on the roof, the fire is roaring inside the house, and it is as warm as spring. Isn't it wonderful to be in a quilt while reading banned books?"
Di Renjie shrugged his shoulders and said doubtfully: "Is there such a good place? I'm afraid it's not cheap, right?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "There are flowers in spring, rain in summer, lotuses in autumn, and snow in winter. You only need to pay eighty yuan a month to get such a good place. Do you still think
Is it expensive?”
Di Renjie still doubted: "Is there really such a good place?"
Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "I am the head of Jinchangfang. Why, you don't even believe my words?"
Di Renjie shook his head and said: "Believers, as people say, your words are especially untrustworthy."
"Why?" Yun Chu turned sideways. Di Renjie's words were really insulting.
Di Renjie said while biting the egg: "If you just say that there are vacant houses for rent in Jinchangfang, I will definitely believe it.
Since you have wasted a lot of time boasting about your Jinchangfang, then even if there is an empty house there, it must not be as good as you said. It must be extremely bad that you would not hesitate to praise it.
Am I right?"
Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "It's not bad at all to take a bath in the snow in winter at this time."
Di Renjie snorted coldly: "It must be snow leaking from the roof!"
"Are you going or not?" Yun Chu began to become irritable.
"Go, go, go, we are all students, please don't just clench your fists, okay?"
Yun Chu sniffed and said, "I see you are very popular, so find more people to come over. I have more houses there."
"How many houses are there?"
"Five hundred rooms."
"Hey, your family has a lot of wealth."
Yunchu sighed and said: "Where did my family come from with so many houses? They are all the former houses of the people in Jinchangfang.
Today, in order to honor his mother, the Da Ci'en Temple was built. With an order, nearly half of the people in Jinchangfang had to leave their homes and businesses. Naturally, the land used by the government was expropriated from Kuanyuli. When the construction of the Da Ci'en Temple was completed, what was left was left.
There are hundreds of empty houses there...
Most of the residents in Jinchangfang are from the homes of craftsmen, and their homes never have overnight food... In order for the people in Jinchangfang to have more food to eat, I ordered the craftsmen to clean up the empty houses and prepare to rent them to four families.
Like the students, in this way, the students will have a cheap place to live, the residents will have more food to eat, and the children there will no longer have a dish on their faces."
After listening to Yun Chu's story, Di Renjie finished the eggs in his hand with great interest, and sighed: "Is it really true that harsh rule is stronger than tigers? In this case, as long as the house there is habitable, I will help you."
Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie and said, "It's to help those people. Is there anything I can do to help? There is no shortage of money and food at home."
"Can I go take a look?"
"It's natural."
"I will make an appointment with my classmates today."
"I'll prepare wine and food at home to welcome you."
Hearing the commotion outside the teaching building, Di Renjie ran out to watch. Pushing aside the crowd, he immediately saw an old man with gray hair stroking Xu Yanbo's body and moaning in pain.
"Is this the man from Xu County?" Yun Chu asked Di Renjie.
Di Renjie curled his lips and said, "Anyone who hates his son for taking away his wife would have been polite and disgraced long ago."
Yun Chu discovered that Xu Jingzong had already stood up from his grandson's body and began to look around with bright eyes, as if he wanted to keep the appearance of the onlookers firmly in his mind.
Thinking of how terrifying this old thief was, Yun Chu turned around and went back before Xu Jingzong's eyes could reach him.
When Yun Chu arrived at home, the old monkey came back ahead of him.
Looking at the old monkey drinking tea, Yun Chu smiled and said: "The Daming Temple is on fire, but why was it set on fire during the day?"
The old monkey took a sip of tea and said: "Even more unexpected."
"Did the person who set the fire run out of the house?"
"No."
"I won't confess you, will I?"
"They are all dead."
"suicide?"
"Nirvana."
"It's a monk again...you always say you are so good, so good, why do you do things more ruthlessly than ordinary people?"
"How sad is life, how painful is death, what difference is there between life and death?"
"Why do I have to be the one to deliver the final blow to Xu Yanbo?"
"Do you still remember those monks outside Guzang City attacking me?"
"Remember."
"Why don't you take action?"
"I took action, otherwise where would the Eight Ox Crossbows come from to help you shoot all the monks to death?"
"Yunchu, you can't always choose to stay out of things, and you can't rely on your own wisdom to avoid all the fetters.
You can't just get the benefits without paying the price. In this way, you accept the benefits of the cause and never suffer the pain of the consequences. This is wrong. You can't build a world by yourself."
Yunchu also took a sip of hot tea and said, "How do you know that I can't make a world by myself, and how do you know that I can't represent a world by myself?"
I thought that after saying these words, the old monkey would fly into a rage. Strangely enough, the old monkey didn't get angry, let alone refute. Instead, he looked at Yun Chu with a strange and awe-inspiring look.
"Buddha said: One grain of sand is one world, one leaf is one bodhi. Did Xuanzang give birth to a world?"
Yun Chu looked into the old monkey's eyes and said seriously: "Maybe it's true."
"Will you hide in your world and not come out in the future? Just like the Ganesh God in Tianzhu?"
Yunchu didn't know who Ganesh was. He only knew that there seemed to be a god in India with an elephant's trunk, which was extremely edible.
So, he had no choice but to shake his head.
The old monkey said happily: "That's good, that's good. Without you and Naha, I will be really lonely in Chang'an."
"Take care of Naha and don't let her feel scared in the temple."
"Xuan Zang treated her very well and even put a red lotus pattern on her eyebrows."
Yun Chu frowned and said, "Naha is still young and can't get a tattoo."
The old monkey shook his head and said: "Xuan Zang mixed cinnabar with his own blood and tattooed Naha on it. It is the greatest honor."
Yun Chu frowned and said, "Cinnabar is poisonous!"
The old monkey looked at Yun Chu and took out a small jade box from his arms. After opening it, it was filled with cinnabar. He dipped some cinnabar with his fingers and put it into his mouth, staring at Yun Chu provocatively.
"When I can't sleep at night, I use cinnabar to calm my nerves..."
Yun Chu was very anxious. He didn't know if there would be any bad viruses in Xuanzang's blood, and he didn't know if Naha's eyebrows would become inflamed after being tattooed. In short, he was confused for a while.
Ancient people were accustomed to taking poisons, and heavy metals were constantly being pumped into their stomachs, as if they were a common occurrence.
"From now on, this red lotus pattern will be Naha's amulet. It will accompany her throughout her life and protect her throughout her life."
