Chapter Eighty-Eight: Copying the Book

Wu Xi looked at Chen Jingjing and said to Chen Jingjing, "This girl, are you also surnamed Chen?" ”

When Chen Jingjing heard this, she looked at Wu Xi curiously and asked how Wu Xi knew.

Wu Xi tilted his head and didn't answer, Chen Jingjing stepped forward, and when she was about to pinch Wu Xi's face, Wu Xi took a step back, Chen Jingjing could only smile when she saw this, and then handed the porridge to Liu Siyong.

After Liu Siyong finished drinking the porridge, Wu Xi said to Liu Siyong, "Brother Liu, let's go, let's go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to have a look." ”

Liu Siyong couldn't, so he had to go to the front of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion with Wu Xi, and was unexpectedly stopped by the disciples guarding the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

"Two, please stop, this matter is forbidden in this regard, and please forgive the two donors."

Liu Siyong looked at Wu Xi and said to Wu Xi, "How?" We can't get in, so let's go first. ”

At this time, Wu Xi took out a token and said to the Feiyun disciple; "The people of Hejingsan have agreed, you can let us in."

The disciple checked the waist card, and then a disciple went to confirm, and after a while, the disciple came back, nodded and said, "It is indeed the head of the family who agrees, two of you, please." ”

Liu Siyong and Wu Xi entered the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and the like, there are not many books in this Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and they are basically Taoist books.

Liu Siyong sat on a chair and looked out the window, waiting for Wu Xi to find a good book.

Wu Xi soon walked over with a book, Liu Siyong took a look at it, and found that the book was not a Taoist book, the title of the book was "Hong Fan Zhengjian".

When Liu Siyong saw the title of the book, he asked curiously, "It's really strange, I didn't expect you to find such a book here." ”

"I didn't find it, but my mother asked me to find it, speaking of which, Brother Liu, do you know Shuangjian Building."

Liu Siyong nodded, this is a library building, it is said to have a collection of more than 100,000 volumes, and it is the largest library building in the early years of the Yu Dynasty.

"This Shuangjian building got its name because he has a Song version of Tongjian, Chen Ben Tongjian, so it is called Shuangjian."

"Well, in the year of the Founding Dynasty, the meaning of this Shuangjian Building has changed, and one of them is to receive this Hong Fan Zhengjian."

Liu Siyong thought about it for a long time, remembering that he had never heard of this name, and couldn't help but be curious and said, "Little brother, please forgive me for being unheard, this Hong Fan Zhengjian doesn't seem to be in the classics." ”

Because this book is a manuscript, it was written by Taizong of the Song Dynasty, but it was circulated in the royal family, and later spread to the people, and after several changes, it was hidden in the Shuangjian Building. In this world, there is only such a book, and later the owner of Shuangjian Lou saw that his son could not keep this business, so he gave this book to the people of Jingsan to thank the people of Jingsan. ”

When Liu Siyong heard this, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you know?" ”

"Today's sage compiles a canon, widely open the book, the son of the owner of Shuangjian Building presented six hundred sets of rare books, so the sage rewarded him with a small official, there is no Hong Fan Zhengjian in this set of books, so the Yin scholar asked this person, and finally knew that this book arrived in Feiyun Sect. This time my mother asked me to come here for one purpose to get the book. ”

After Wu Xi finished speaking, Liu Siyong felt strange, this Wu Xi inevitably knew too much, so he said to Wu Xi, "There must not be too many people who know about this matter." ”

"It's not much, and my mother knew about it by accident."

Liu Siyong saw that Wu Xi was reluctant to answer more, and asked Wu Xi how to take this book away, it was impossible to just take it without telling him.

"You can copy it, there is paper and pen around here, and when the time comes, copy a copy, then you can give it to my mother."

Liu Siyong watched Wu Xi put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that you asked me to copy." ”

"I've always been sleepy when I look at these books, and I'm tired of you, Brother Liu."

Looking at Wu Xi's cute appearance, Liu Siyong had no choice but to help Wu Xi copy the book.

And Wu Xi himself took a copy of the Nanhua Sutra and watched it with relish there.

This Hong Fan Zhengjian is not long, but four or five thousand words, Liu Siyong copied it for two hours, and it was almost copied, Liu Siyong then compared it and found that there was no mistake in copying, so he marked the page number next to the paper, so as not to get it wrong and upside down.

After Liu Siyong got it done, he said to Wu Xi, "Okay, I have already helped you with the things you want me to help with, and now I have something I want to ask you." ’

"What's the matter? Brother Liu, you just say it. ”

"What do you think is beautiful about the Nanhua Sutra?" Liu Siyong thought to himself that at Wu Xi's age, if he wanted to understand the Nanhua scriptures, it would be a fool's dream.

Wu Xi put down the book in his hand and said to Liu Siyong; "I don't know, it's just interesting to watch."

"If you don't know, what's the fun?"

"It's interesting not to know, isn't Zhuangzi thinking so? If you understand it, then there is no sense of subtlety, Taoism does not seek images, but seek meaning. ”

Liu Siyong was curious and asked him what the image was, and Wu Xi also told him that this image can be seen, touched, and felt, such as mountains and rivers, and the meaning is hidden in the image. As for what this meaning is, it can be said in Tao Jingjie's poem, there is a true meaning in it, and I have forgotten to distinguish it.

The text of the Nanhua Sutra is an image, because without an image, the laity will not know the meaning. This is just like what the Buddhists say, all scriptures are rafts, which are used by all sentient beings to cross the river, and when the sea of suffering is crossed, this raft must be abandoned.

Liu Siyong felt that it was too godly chatter, Confucianism would not talk about such mysteries, they would try their best to exhaust the meaning of the book, how should this word be interpreted, what this sentence means, the meaning of the so-called sage, has been written.

Liu Siyong doesn't believe that an incomprehensible book can understand his true meaning. So Liu Siyong said to Wu Xi, "In this way, then you don't need to read Taoist books, and look at all things in heaven and earth, wouldn't it be better." ”

When Wu Xi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then happily put down the book, thanked Liu Siyong and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu, this time I really thank you." ”

Liu Siyong just said it casually, he didn't expect Wu Xi to really take it seriously, he hurriedly said, "Don't be like this, you better continue to read." There is a golden house in this book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. ”

Liu Siyong was worried that Wu Xi really went to play the landscape and become a hermit in the mountains and forests, and it would be strange if Wu Xi's family didn't scold him to death when the time came.

Wu Xi obviously didn't listen, and said to Liu Siyong, "Brother Liu, let's leave, by the way, we have to give this to my mother first." ”

Liu Siyong only blamed himself for talking too much, but now it can only be like this.

Liu Siyong watched as Wu Xi put the book back in its place, and then picked up the copied Hong Fan Zhengjian and left here with himself.

When he walked out of the door, Wu Xi asked Liu Siyong to wait for him here, handed the book to his mother, and then came back immediately.

Liu Siyong nodded, this is two quarters of an hour, Wu Xi quickly returned, this time Wu Xi was dressed in a strong suit, pony boots, close-fitting shorts, and a padded jacket.

Wu Xi carried a small bow and quiver behind him, and a dagger at his waist. Behind Wu Xi, there were five men dressed as samurai, following behind Wu Xi.

Looking at Wu Xi's appearance, Liu Siyong said curiously, "I said little brother, are we going hunting?" ”

"Well, Brother Liu, you said you were going to hunt, have you forgotten?" Wu Xi said, winking at Liu Siyong.

Liu Siyong came to his senses, hurriedly said yes, and then left Feiyun Palace with Wu Xi and went to the mountain range next to him.

Liu Siyong originally wanted to ask Wu Xi why they didn't go to Qiyun Mountain, and then thought that this Qiyun Mountain was given to Wang Wenzhong by Emperor Gao, and the general nobles would abide by the rules and not go to Qiyun Mountain.

When they arrived at Wanghai Mountain on the side, Wu Xi said to the warriors, "Go ahead, but don't harm them." ”

These warriors looked at each other for a moment, looking at each other, and then one of them seemed to be the leader and said, "Young Master, Madam has told us, don't leave you too far, lest something happen to you, Young Master." ”

"If there is any accident, you guys will patrol nearby, if there is any villain, I will also shout, and this Liu Xianggong is a famous hero in the rivers and lakes, with profound martial arts, superb swordsmanship, a thief, I can't help him."

It has always been Liu Siyong who has brought high hats to others, but now that Wu Xi has brought a few high hats, Liu Siyong is still a little flattered.

When these warriors were still hesitating, Wu Xi's face became very ugly, and he said to them, "It's okay if my brothers bully me, do you still want to bully me?" ”

Several warriors instantly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Wu Xi and said, "The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare." ”

"Then do as I say."

A few samurai couldn't, so they had to patrol around, and Wu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and walked on the road.

Liu Siyong also followed behind, looking at Wu Xi's curiosity to look at this, that, and couldn't help but say curiously, "En?" You don't seem to have gone out. ”

"Well, I basically haven't left home, I have been out a few times, Brother Liu, you have also seen it, there are always people around, and I am not comfortable at all."

Wu Xi said, his footsteps slipping. The road was a little muddy because of the heavy rain last night.

Liu Siyong hugged Wu Xi and said to Wu Xi, "This road is a little slippery, you should pay attention." ”

Wu Xi smiled, and then continued to walk with Liu Siyong.

There are not many trees in this Wanghai Mountain, there are a few small trees here and there, Wu Xi and they walked to a lawn, and saw the stretching Qiyun Mountain Range, as well as the looming sea, Wu Xi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said to Liu Siyong, "The husband should be like this." ”

Liu Siyong smiled and said to Wu Xi, "This is the emotion of seeing the emperor's honor guard, you can't see this scenery and sigh, but it can be passed on as a beautiful talk." ”

Wu Xi smiled, took off his bow, shot three arrows aimlessly, and then said, "I really want to be a hunter, live here, hunt for a living, hunt during the day, and drink at night." ”
