238: The Buddha's son goes to the banquet, and sees the poor dagger
Who is Zhang Chongxun? As soon as his eyelids drooped, he knew what she was going to ask: "You want to ask why you and he have met face to face, but today he turns a blind eye to you?"
"Yeah." Fang Yu nodded vigorously.
Zhang Chongxun looked around the audience and chuckled: "Look at the people here, especially the leaders of the forces. Who doesn't know that Tang Yun has been here a long time ago? But everyone is pretending not to know. Do you know why?"
"I don't know." Fang Yu shook her head honestly.
"It's very simple. No one wants to stand out."
The coldness in Zhang Chongxun's eyes flashed away, and he sneered: "They know very well that once it is revealed that Tang Yun has arrived in advance, it will give Tang Yun the opportunity to make trouble. By then, he will have an advantage in dealing with these guys with his methods.
So the best way is to be on guard in advance and pretend not to know, so as not to give Tang Yun a chance to speak, and refuse to admit that he has been here. As long as they don't talk about it first, even if Tang Yun points it out, they can make all kinds of excuses.
Cover up the past.
This is the reason why Tang Yun didn't know you on purpose. He knows very well what these people think, so there's no point in trying to figure it out. It's better to just go with the flow and pretend to be ignorant.
There are some things that you just need to know. If he doesn't talk about it, those people will be worried because they don't know what Tang Yun is going to do, so they can't sleep well."
Fang Yu whispered: "I can testify~"
"you?"
Zhang Chongxun looked back at her and smiled: "Why? What's the evidence for what you said? People say things lightly, and those old fritters can easily find excuses to fool them, and they might even bite back."
At this point, he sighed and said: "You two are still young, so don't be too ambitious. There is only one Tang Yun in the world, and there can only be one Tang Yun. There is no room for the second one, and there will be no second one.
"
The words may seem harsh, but they contain his love and affection for these two people. In life, comparison is inevitable, but you must find a suitable target for comparison, otherwise it will only be self-defeating.
Like Tang Yun, anyone who compares with him will be a Shabi.
There are so many warriors in the world, and among people of the same generation, there are still only a few who can catch up with Tang Yun in terms of cultivation alone, such as the Buddhist disciples of Leiyin Temple and the leaders of other top sects.
From another point of view, in terms of literary quality and government skills, no one of his age can match him. Even those experienced veterans have to be extremely careful when facing Tang Yun.
When these two things are combined in one person, and this guy has his back to the court...
Looking at the world, who can compare?
So there can only be one Tang Yun.
The reason why the court and the emperor appreciated Tang Yun so much was not because of his so-called cultivation talent, nor the city government's methods, but because of the various suggestions he put forward. Moreover, Tang Yun had already taken the lead in this regard, and if there were any latecomers, they would be just picking up others' wisdom.
So don’t compare yourself to anyone but Tang Yun.
At this moment, the scene suddenly became silent.
Everyone heard the news and went away, only to see a group of monks coming outside. To everyone's surprise, the abbot of Leiyin Temple in the county town did not stand in the first place, but instead took a back seat next to a young and handsome monk.
Judging from his demeanor, he was quite respectful, as if this young monk had an extraordinary status and was not an ordinary person.
The host clasped his hands together and said apologetically: "Amitabha, please forgive me, poor monk..."
Purple light flashed in Tang Yun's eyes, and the woman opposite him suddenly froze, then recovered as before, looked at them and said: "Poor monk? Looking at you, you are not poor.
Tsk tsk... The material of this cassock must be woven from thunder silkworm gold thread, right? These things are all sold on the basis of the root. If you take out this one, the starting price is three thousand taels of gold, and it is not a problem to double it.
Jinguang Mansion suffered a catastrophe, Leihuo State was short of money and food, and the people still sent the money to the temple, but who knew it turned into... Haha, of course~ this is nothing.
After all, Buddha, you are right no matter what you say, but you really can’t bring it up with the sins and resentments of the next life or the previous life.”
The scene suddenly fell into dead silence.
Everyone couldn't help but fell into a daze. They turned around and looked at the woman who spoke in shock, then lowered their heads and landed on the equally dazed middle-aged man in front of the woman.
One sentence was clearly written on everyone's faces: "Are you really ruthless? Are you so desperate to please Tang Yun? This is because you have made it clear that you will not let Leiyin Temple step down. Are you really not afraid that Leiyin Temple will attack you afterwards?"
"..." The corner of the man's mouth twitched, he stood up in a hurry, and raised his hand angrily to slap his daughter.
"Slow*2"
Tang Yun and the young monk spoke out at the same time.
The monk nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Sir, speak first."
"I wonder what she said makes sense."
Tang Yun showed a narrow smile, Shi Shiran stood up, came to the table, put down the man's hand, looked at the little girl, and rubbed her head.
Then, he turned around and looked at the group of monks with uncertain faces with a smile: "Tong Yan Wuji, in order to survive, we have to flatter, follow others, tell lies and do dirty work.
But children are not that complicated and can just say whatever comes to mind.
Taking a step back, even if what she said is wrong and makes you very angry, maybe she is the person sent by the Buddha to sharpen your mind. If you are greedy, angry and ignorant, you have to go through all kinds of difficulties to become a Buddha. I think you can understand
.”
"..."
Everyone looked at their noses, their noses looked at their mouths, they kept their heads in silence, kept their mouths shut, and even kept their breathing to a minimum, for fear of making any noise and getting into trouble. At the same time, their ears were bent desperately, and the fire of gossip was burning in their hearts.
.
Mr. Tang is worthy of being Mr. Tang. He will let you finish all the good and bad things he said. Not only did he take away the girl's responsibility, but he also doubled the blame on the bald donkey who was already being reviled.
This move... is so damn cruel.
It doesn't matter if you refute. If you don't refute, you will panic.
Feeling uncomfortable?
It's okay to feel uncomfortable.
The only one to blame is yourselves. Who made you Buddhists brag so much?
When people do good deeds, they are rewarded with blessings.
When people do bad things, there will be retribution.
Good people are not rewarded because they committed evil in the previous life.
Bad people are rewarded with good things, which are blessings from the previous life.
ox.
Nothing can escape reincarnation, everything is caused by cause and effect.
powerful!
The good words are all yours, and the principles are all yours.
Anyway, whatever you do is determined by fate, and you are the best in the world.
It's fine now. To use your words, point at your nose and slap your face. Does it hurt?
Da, da~
Tang Yun's iron boots collided with the ground, making a muffled sound, hitting everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
squeak~
The soles of his shoes rubbed against the ground. Tang Yun stood opposite the young monk, looking at him carefully, as if waiting for his answer.
The monk smiled, as if he had not been stimulated at all, and said softly: "Your Majesty, what you said is very reasonable. Do you also practice Buddhism?"
"That's not true, but I know something." Tang Yun twitched the corners of his lips and answered softly.
The monk smiled and said, "Young monk, I am listening attentively."
Tang Yun leaned forward, opened and closed his lips and whispered in his ear: "The Buddha is far away in the sky, and the sword is close in front of you. If I knew it was you last time, you would have gone to see the Buddha."
The monk was not angry at all, and replied with a chuckle: "That is the honor of the young monk. In this world of suffering, reincarnation and suffering, isn't it just to reach bliss early?"
"Yeah?"
Tang Yun took a step back and arranged the beads on his chest for him: "Then I will work hard to make your wish come true as soon as possible."
"What an honor." The monk nodded slightly.
Tang Yun turned around, cupped his hands towards Liu Yuangong, and said with a smile: "Master Liu, I have been traveling for days and drank a lot of wine. I feel tired, so I will leave first. Gentlemen, please continue..."
After that, regardless of Liu Yuan's clear expression and the exposed veins on the back of his hand holding the wine glass, he quickly left here.
All that was left was this group of people who were confused and sweating frequently, as well as the monk who had not yet sat down and was still standing at the door arrogantly arrogant.
This time Liu Yuan was just an official reception banquet. After Tang Yun returned, he was invited again within two days to attend a banquet focusing on the martial arts academy.
Zhang Chongxun's previous actions had long been seen by interested people, and the conversation between the two at that time was not secret. Within half a day, it reached the ears of the leaders of various martial arts schools.
If there is any benefit, it should be shared by everyone.
Facing these people who seek friendship, give gifts, and get close to each other, Zhang Chongxun feels pain on his face but joy in his heart. In the martial arts academy, who has a better reputation than the founder Tang Yun?
Xianghuo Martial Arts Academy was a well-known first-class martial arts academy in Xianghuo County. In Tang Yun's world, it was similar to experimental high schools in many cities, with one middle school and one high school.
However, unlike that world, although the imperial court promoted teacher benefits, the time was ultimately too short. Therefore, with the heavy funding from various private martial arts academies, the strength and reputation of the Xianghuo Martial Arts Academy was actually about the same as that of the powerful private martial arts academies.
As Zhang Chongxun matured, he naturally had ambitions. He wanted to use Tang Yun's tiger skin to crush other colleges.
Others are not stupid. Xianghuo Martial Arts Academy is the highest level martial arts academy in Xianghuo County, and the other martial arts academies are one level lower, which means there is no conflict between them.
So~
As a family, if you, Zhang Chongxun, eat meat, you have to give your brothers a mouthful of soup, right?
They rushed here just to take this opportunity to suppress the local private martial arts academy. It can be said that the whole thing was tricked down layer by layer.
Compared with Zhang Chongxun's enthusiastic side, the private martial arts academy felt a little uncomfortable.
What's going on?
He is one of our own. To put it bluntly, the Imperial Martial Academy is the reserve force trained by Zhenwu Pavilion, so it is natural and reasonable to invite Tang Yun there.
But private martial arts schools... emmm, they are not a family.
Of course, these guys were shameless. They secretly went to find Tang Yun, but Tang Yun came back with one sentence: "The approval of a private martial arts academy is considered a business deal.
You pay money to buy qualifications and train your own people. The imperial court receives the money and doesn't cause trouble to you. This is a clear-cut business and it's none of my business."
The few guys who were rejected were confused.
However, they were not young boys. They pondered Tang Yun's words over and over again, and soon figured out the underlying meaning: "You want me to come over? Sure, pay for it."
?
So this group of people came to their senses, and after paying a huge price, they finally succeeded in inviting Tang Yun. This somewhat defeated Zhang Chongxun's plan and saved some face.
——
temple.
Even though it was getting late, the host room was still brightly lit.
The old monk twisted his rosary beads and said: "It turns out that he has been to Xianghuo County secretly a long time ago. I'm afraid that the demise of the Pei family is closely related to him. I just don't know where the Pei family offended him."
Fozi said calmly: "It's normal. The Pei family abducts people and engages in heresy. Moreover, Yuan Fenglong's death is unclear, which is probably related to the Pei family.
The Pei family has become arrogant and thinks that Tang Yun is like Yuan Fenglong, who does things without thinking, and the consequences will be self-evident, right?"
At this point, he paused for a moment, and then frowned: "What I'm confused about is, even if Tang Yun is very strong and has been to Xianghuo County beforehand, so he has some understanding of it, why does he have such a reason to go to Xianghuo County so quickly?
Are we going to break up?"
This is what he doesn't understand.
Tang Yun had always planned for the future. When he first came to Xianghuo County, he had no foundation. The first thing he did was deal with the affairs of the Zhenwu Pavilion and seize the power. The second was to deal with the affairs of the Jinguang Mansion.
After doing all this, according to his handiwork, he will definitely not let those forces play some bullshit mixed profit network. Killing them all with one sword is the real thing.
In other words, until Tang Yun has completed the above-mentioned things and made the entire Xianghuo County monolithic, he will not act rashly even if he wants to target Leiyin Temple.
A dog that bites does not show its teeth.
Tang Yun is not completely sure that he will never show his hostility by baring his teeth at you stupidly.
However, what Tang Yun did at the banquet this time was completely different from his style of acting. This was something that puzzled the Buddha. It was also the reason why he had been keeping a low profile since he came here.
Because he really wasn't sure about Tang Yun's trump card, so he could only respond to changes by staying the same.
This time down the mountain, Fozi was ordered to come to Xianghuo County. His biggest responsibility was to watch Tang Yun and confront him.
The two of them are the epitome of the world situation.
Tang Yun represents the imperial court, and Buddha represents the sect.
It is no exaggeration to say that no matter who wins or loses, it will be related to the subsequent movements of all parties.
The responsibility is too heavy. Even if a Buddhist is a proud son of heaven, even if his mind is as calm as meditation, he will still be affected by pressure. He doesn't want to lose, but he can't.
A monk was a little puzzled by Buddha's doubts and asked softly: "Why does Buddha pay so much attention to it? According to the news, Tang Yun is only in the ninth grade..."
"wrong."
Fozi closed his eyes and murmured: "I went down the mountain before and suddenly felt restless. I felt that there might be something we didn't understand, so I took a detour to meet Tang Yun face to face."
Face to face?
It turns out that the two of them had met before.
Several monks looked at each other in confusion. After a while, the host asked in a low voice: "Tang Yun is not only at the ninth level? Is it possible that he is at the eighth level of channel connection?"
Having said this, the atmosphere in the room couldn't help but relax. Of course, the Eighth Grade was very strong, but the host was already strong in the Eighth Grade, so he was naturally not afraid of Tang Yun. Now that there was a Buddhist disciple in charge, he was naturally more confident.
Everyone was relieved, but Buddha looked solemn and said softly: "He has broken through to the acupuncture point."
"……impossible!!!"
After a brief silence, one person suddenly shook his head and said in disbelief: "How is it possible? How could he reach the seventh-level acupoint opening realm?"
