The night wind blew, and the crackling raindrops fell one after another, boiling. Even though the windows were closed, there was still a damp wind blowing.
On the other hand, the lantern was not affected, and I don't even know if the gauze used was too thin. It was very bright in this small chess room.
The room was very quiet. Under the bright candlelight, a Go game was placed on the chessboard. The old monk Wen Ru was sitting on one side, looking down at the chessboard as if he was in a trance.
Liu Zhan was sitting opposite, seeming to be looking out the door and into the distance, his eyes complex. It was unclear whether he was sad or sad, or mixed with other emotions.
"Oh, how can magic reveal the secrets of heaven?"
In the blink of an eye, Liu Zhan sighed: "It's difficult, it's too difficult! The energy in the capital is so chaotic that it's so confusing that it's impossible to see clearly."
It turned out that Liu Zhan was in a trance and was calculating these things and wanted to see clearly.
"The situation is so complicated, do you want to continue?" Liu Zhan looked at the monk opposite and asked.
Wen Ru smiled, picked up the black chess piece, made another move, and said: "I have no regrets with this move. Now that the poor monk has entered the game, I will definitely have no regrets."
When Liu Zhan heard this, he turned around and said to Bianxuan, who was standing not far away, "Bianxuan, what do you think?"
Bianxuan calmly clasped his hands and replied: "The same goes for the young monk."
When Liu Zhan saw it, he secretly sighed: "The Brahma Sect really has some skills. I have gone through many hardships in discerning mysteries, and I am afraid that my true cultivation has made great progress."
Sitting back again, Liu Zhan touched the chess piece, but hesitated again.
When the person on the other side saw this, he also asked: "Master, are you still going to do it?"
Liu Zhan pondered for a long time and thought about a lot. The entire Taoist sect, the entire master sect, the complicated situation in the capital, the kings who were looking at each other, and the emperor who was calm and high in the ninth level.
"If you still have one breath left, it is your destiny!"
Liu Zhan couldn't help sighing, pushing the chessboard with his hand, pushing the black and white pieces into chaos, and said dejectedly: "I can't play anymore, I admit defeat."
"In that case, the poor monk will take his leave." Upon seeing this, Wen Ru stood up, clasped his hands towards Liu Zhan, and left the Taoist temple with Bianxuan. When he walked out of the gate, he stood on the steps, with heavy raindrops of soybeans hitting the blue bricks.
crackling sound.
Wen Ruli stood on the steps and saw the heavy rain. He thought for a moment and asked Bianxuan, and said softly: "Bianxuan, what do you think?"
"Now, if we intervene in the fight for the dragon, we will die without success. You don't have to have any scruples."
"Yes, Master Brahma." Bian Xuan put his palms together.
"I heard that back then, Liu Zhan used his sword to cause trouble in Zhili for the benefit of his sect. He fought thirty-seven battles and was heard by heaven."
"But now, decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is no longer the same color as it used to be."
"That's good." After hearing this, Wen Ru couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: "The Taoist sect is so two-pronged that it really can't accomplish anything."
After saying that, he asked Bianxuan again: "Are you afraid of death?"
"For the Brahma Sect's Qi, the disciples are not afraid." Bian Xuan said with his palms clasped together.
"Okay! If you are a disciple of my Brahma Dharma, you must have such courage!" Wen Ru nodded appreciatively: "The Brahma Dharma has been introduced into this world, and it has spread even more over the years."
In the rain, his tone was dull: "Although we haven't arrived in the capital yet, we have been better than Daomen in several state and provincial debates. Do you know why?"
"It is the exquisiteness of our Brahma Dharma that transcends life and death." Bian Xuan said without hesitation.
"You have the right view of the Dharma, but it is not the right view of the world." When Wen Ru said this, a bolt of lightning fell, and the whole road was no longer dark, followed immediately by the sound of thunder.
"May I ask Master Brahma, what is the correct view of the world?" Bian Xuan asked respectfully with his palms clasped together.
"The so-called right view of the world is benefit." Amidst the thunder, Wen Ru's voice sounded unusually calm and serene: "Although Taoist theories are scattered, they are not unified. Overall, they are slightly inferior to our Brahma Dharma."
"But don't Taoists have knowledgeable and eloquent people?"
"The reason why it is one-sided and allows us to take advantage is that our Brahma Sect is a hundred times more advantageous than the Taoist Sect."
"I would like to hear the voice of Master Brahma."
"The God Brahma that the world seeks is basically for the joy of life."
"Not to die is the first interest in life."
"Why the powerful attach importance to Taoism is because Taoism wants to develop the elixir of immortality."
"Don't talk about refining the elixir of immortality. Just to extend life, it costs tens of thousands of gold. How many people can refine it?"
"And my Brahma Sect opens the door to life and happiness, and can even be reincarnated in the Brahma land upon hearing the name of Brahma. How can this kind of benefit be achieved by Taoism?"
"So tens of thousands of people believe in my Brahma sect, and even the dignitaries who preside over the Dharma debate are secretly and even overtly trying to sideline me. Is there any reason why the Taoist sect can't lose?" Wen Ru's tone became colder and colder, and he said it calmly.
The biggest mystery.
"So that's it." Bian Xuan was really the effect of enlightenment. He shuddered all over and understood completely. He clasped his hands and said, "Although the fruit is extinguished, causes and conditions create interests. The young monk really understands."
"Excellent, you have this enlightenment, you can serve as Dharma Patriarch." Wen Ru only took one look and knew that Bian Xuan had achieved the true fruit of Brahma, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
"But why should we support Taisun?"
"To lure someone with benefits is not as good as to suppress them with force. Although there is Brahma Dharma and Brahma Land, there is still no Brahma power. To show Brahma power in this world, the master must respond."
"Who is the master? I think there is only Taisun, so we will do our best to help. The rest will depend on whether we agree or not."
"The young monk understands and will fight to the death to gain the Lord's promise."
"Boom" he said, a flash of light pierced the sky, and darkness returned again, with only heavy rain pouring down.
Nantongjun·Yujia Inn
"Brother Shang, why did you get up so early today? But you didn't sleep well last night?"
On the first floor of the inn, Yu Lufang Xi had just invited Shang Xiucai to come over for dinner.
Yu Lu and Fang Xi had money in their pockets, so they would not treat their stomachs badly. Besides, how expensive could breakfast be?
The wontons with thin skin and large fillings are steaming hot.
The two of them ordered three more steamed buns, and the waiter brought them to them. They called Shang Xiu over, and after he sat down, they chatted with them.
Yu Lu asked more tactfully, but once the question was answered, it fell directly on the topic of why he didn't sleep well.
They had been dating Shang Xiucai for a few days, but Shang Xiucai had been unwilling to say more. The two of them often brought the topic to food-related matters, and Shang Xiucai either kept silent or changed the topic to something else.
Where to pull.
But the more he behaved like this, the more Yu Lufang Xi became convinced that this person must know something.
If he didn't know something important, why would he be so cautious after sobering up?
If they talk as loudly as before after sobering up, they will be a little hesitant.
Now Shang Xiucai is cautious not to say anything, and the two of them feel like grass has grown in their hearts. If they were not worried about scaring Shang Xiucai away, they would have asked directly on the first day of dating, but now they can only
That's euphemistic.
Shang Xiucai laughed and said: "I slept well. Oh my, the wontons here look really good. Today's wontons look even better than yesterday!"
As he said that, he scooped up a wonton with a small spoon, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, swallowed it immediately, and continued to eat another wonton.
Not only did this person not follow the answers planned by the two of them, he didn't even ask them why they got up so early.
If Shang Xiucai had asked this question, the two of them could have followed the topic to the question they wanted to ask, but Shang Xiucai was stunned and did not ask!
Fang Xi's character can be considered impulsive, but after becoming a Jinshi and being entrusted with important responsibilities by the emperor, he did not dare to speak casually and learned to be careful with his words and actions.
Seeing Shang Xiucai, who was sitting opposite, lowering his head to eat, he looked at each other and kept giving Yu Lu a look.
That means, you are smarter than me. Please ask quickly. We have been delayed for a few days, but we cannot delay any longer.
Yu Lu pondered for a moment before speaking: "Brother Shang..."
At this moment, there was a banging sound at the door of the inn, and a person suddenly came in. As soon as this person came in, he looked around and saw Shang Xiucai sitting having breakfast.
"Shang Xiucai! You are still eating here! The county captain Chen Da found out about you! He said that you went around ruining his reputation, which was against Confucianism, and he wanted to ask the academic administration to revoke your reputation!"
This man shouted loudly at Shang Xiucai.
"You haven't been home for several days, and your wife is in trouble. Now someone is threatening your wife, asking her to reveal your whereabouts, and saying that she will be punished. You should go back quickly!"
