The summer rain was abundant, and the thin rain clouds that should have been passing quickly flew away, and the black and oppressive dark clouds fell with raindrops the size of beans, and the three monks only walked out of the two alleys in the pouring rain, so they had to stop at a foot shop on the side of the main street, and went into the store to ask for three bowls of sencha for a temporary rest.

The scalper was already taller than his peers, and after wearing a robe and a hat, he looked like an adult, so he also entered the foot shop and ordered sencha to sit on the side of the three monks.

The rain was pouring down, and the sound of the rain crackled on the green tiles on the roof of the foot shop, stirring up a huge echo like thunder over the valley, and the scalper drank sencha in small sips and carefully looked at the three monks. The three of them all looked to be in their thirties, and the two monks' robes looked a little old, and they should be from the people, as for the monk in the center with new robes and extraordinary appearance, it was obviously the first one.

At this time, the three monks also took a sip of tea, and one of the monks with slightly slanted eyebrows said: "Shouza, look at this rain, but it is somewhat similar to seven years ago?" ”

Sure enough, the monk in the center closed his eyes and thought: "There are some shadows, but the good ancestor of Shangyuan Temple on the Xijiang River once observed the sky at the beginning of the year and calculated, and the Tao is Huanghuai or not Jing this year, but the Yangtze River is safe." Besides, it is only around the middle of the Yuan Dynasty now, and I am afraid that such a heavy rain will not be able to cause an autumn flood. ”

Another big-eared monk hurriedly said: "The first one is that the little monk has been supervising the river by the river in recent months, and even if the water goes up the river, it will not harm our Huangzhou." ”

Speaking of this, the monks stopped, and after the three of them drank some tea, the big-eared monk seemed to look left and right, and found that there was almost no one in the foot shop, and the place where the scalper sat turned his back to the three people, and then whispered: "The first seat, which family we also inquire clearly, but it has something to do with the government, I heard that the old lady of his family is the second sister of the current Huangzhou lord Bo, we think...... Just let those beggars go. ”

The slanted eyebrow monk on the side also echoed in a low voice: "Senior Brother Zhizhu is right, I also inquired about the fact that this family has no bad deeds in the past, and the beggars will definitely not suffer any grievances." ”

After listening to the words of the two, the scalper couldn't help but feel relieved, thinking that these monks should come to spy on their own disadvantage, but they didn't think that what they were worried about was whether the beggars would suffer their own grievances, it seems that these monks of Dinghui Temple are still good.

I don't know, just listen to the first seat: "Confused! Since the Buddha Master said that there are great wisdom roots among these children, we have to look for it, and now the beggars in Huangzhou City have asked his family to collect them, wouldn't it have saved a lot of trouble, how to give up halfway. ”

The big-eared monk was busy saying, "What the first uncle said is that he still needs to find a good excuse to trick his family into the courtyard, so that the master can screen it." Let's see, just this Zhongyuan Water Saving Land Festival, I'm afraid it's hard to get your hands on! ”

The slanted eyebrow monk also nodded: "I heard that there are more than a dozen babies in this family now, and I went to stare at and count them in the past two days, but found that there can be at most sixteen, and the less is eleven or two, and the babies of men and women love to run around, so it is really difficult to count how many babies there are in this family." ”

"It doesn't matter! This seat has its own clever plan! The first seat picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip, and said with a smile: "Today's visit is just to find an excuse, and in two days, I invited the Buddhist Master to come to the door again, saying that it is to pray for his house, and he will be able to deceive the children in his house to be screened." ”

The slanted eyebrows and big ears gently clapped their hands and praised when they heard this: "Seconds! The first uncle is really a ravines in his chest, and he has no clever plan. ”

After that, the three of them gossiped some more, and the heavy rain outside stopped, so they got up and thanked the store and went back to Dinghui Courtyard. However, after the scalper gave the tea money, he took off his coat and stopped following, and went home with a puzzled face.

Da Huigen is such a thing, the scalper has followed Zhu Taozhi to walk the rivers and lakes for several years, so he naturally heard him say it. This Buddhism and Taoism all talk about a common relationship, wisdom roots, no common fate can not meet, no wisdom roots can not receive Buddhism and Taoism, inheritance of the mantle. Therefore, all those who have an old age and a famous monk must travel around, hoping to find an excellent disciple who has both common fate and wisdom roots to inherit his mantle.

Even Zhu Taozhi has told the scalper many times that the reason why he wants him to be a Taoist boy is because he has a master-apprentice relationship with the scalper. But Zhu Taozhi has also scolded many times, saying that the wisdom of the scalper is not deep, it is very dull, and at most it is just a slightly usable rotten wood.

It is also said that after following Zhu Taozhi for six years, the scalper has also discovered some secrets, that is, the vein of his master, from the Taoist secret door Lao Junguan, and because the ancestor who opened the inheritance of this vein once made a grand wish, so the heirs of this vein have to be called Zhu Taozhi.

From the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the present, each generation of descendants has carried the name of Zhu Taozhi to walk the world and travel all over the world, and also to do more good deeds to help the poor and the poor, save the dead and help the wounded. Therefore, it is precisely because of the miraculous deeds of the brand "Zhu Taoshi" that have continued for hundreds of years, in the fifth year of Chongning (1106), that is, the year when this generation of Zhu Taozhi accepted scalpers as Taoist children, Zhao Ji, the "Sect Leader Daojun Emperor" of the Great Song Dynasty, also gave the title of "real person".

It's a pity that, according to what the scalper said, the ancestors of the previous generations are all people who have both great and vulgar origins, take the master as an example, when he was seven years old, he followed the master and walked with him, three years of literature, three years of Taoism, three years of martial arts, three years of medicine, and at the age of twenty-two, he was all familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine and astrology, poetry and songs, and martial arts.

But the scalper has been with him for six years, and he is barely okay in literature, at least he has read four books and five classics and writes well. But in terms of Taoism, it is too bad, and I can't even memorize a few major Taoist classics, not to mention learning martial arts and medicine, I am not old enough to lay a good foundation, and it is not yet time to be able to teach.

Therefore, with this kind of cognitive experience, the scalper couldn't help but feel amused by the conversation between the three monks, saying that among the thirteen beggars he took in, it was better to say that this reluctantly Dahuigen was him.

Although the scalper did not follow the master Zhu Taozhi to learn the Tao, but in his current Purple Mansion (mind, knowledge of the sea) lives an omniscient immortal who knows everything from heaven to earth, if this is not considered a great wisdom root, who can have a greater wisdom root than him?

Moreover, since the Buddha Master will come to the door in a few days, there is no need to continue to follow these three monks, and it is better to go home and read books if you have such time.

Along the way, the scalper suddenly thought that through more than a year of continuous strange dreams, he found that he seemed to be a lot smarter than before, at least some things and truths that he didn't understand when he followed Shizun's side, but now he thinks about it very easily, he just feels that it is not interesting to keep dreaming, because although many experiences in dreams can solve the confusion in reality, they also bring more confusion.

For example, how to fly the iron bird in the sky, and how to keep the steel giant ship cruising in the sea unsinkable, these questions are much more profound.
