The old monk left, and Chen Changsheng saw in him the scene of Buddhism gradually rising.
In fact, today's Daxiang really needs Buddhism.
The world seems to be at peace, but in fact it is not. After several great battles, countless people fell down due to luck, and many fell into the trap of bandits. Seeing the prosperity of the Taoist sect, pagan religions emerged, and the people His thoughts are still barren.
But if compared, Confucianism may be the one that generally plays a common role with Buddhism, and Confucianism is indeed the best choice.
However, the one sitting on the Dragon Throne now does not necessarily believe in Confucianism.
The incident of Minister of Literature and the killing of donkeys has long made His Majesty jealous of Confucian scholars. Now that we have finally cut off some of the foundations, it will never be possible for them to rise again.
Ever since, Buddhism has become the best choice.
In other words, the rise of Buddhism caters to the general trend.
Chen Changsheng understands, the old monk understands, and His Majesty on the high platform understands even more. Now he just lacks a reason.
The people who give His Majesty this reason can only be people from the Buddhist sect. Other than that, it is unconvincing to anyone.
The premise is that the old monk must be able to go to Beijing and meet His Majesty.
Chen Changsheng looked at the old monk and said, "Master, I'm afraid the road ahead will not be easy."
As expected, the people from the Taoist sect also came to their senses.
The old monk breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is a long road, but it will eventually end."
Chen Changsheng smiled warmly and said: "As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? I hope that Master will have smooth sailing and meet the Emperor."
The old monk paused and said, "The donor is quite wise."
Chen Changsheng laughed and said: "Master is joking, Chen is not worthy of being a monk."
The old monk nodded slightly and asked no more questions.
Just before leaving, Chen Changsheng said: "Master, can you do Chen a favor?"
"Donor, please speak." the old monk said.
Chen Changsheng said: "Chen has three copper coins in his arms. If Master arrives in Beijing, can you help me pass them on to His Majesty?"
The old monk did not ask in detail what the three copper coins were for, and said: "The poor monk may not be able to see His Majesty."
"Just let it go."
The old monk nodded after hearing this and took the three copper coins in his hand.
Chen Changsheng said: "Excuse me, Master."
"The donor is very polite."
The old monk left, drank half a bowl of water, and left with three copper coins in his pocket.
While walking on the road, Monk Guixin couldn't help but wonder about the meaning of those three ordinary copper coins, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.
But he really remembered the kindness of the half-bowl of water in his heart.
Probably the sweetest water along the way.
"Amitabha……"
The old monk traveled farther and farther.
Chen Changsheng also slowly withdrew his gaze.
When the storm comes to Beijing, those three copper coins may be able to help him see everything clearly, so that he won't need to make this extra trip.
Seeing that it was getting dark that day, Chen Changsheng left Changting and walked into Changguan Road, passing by patches of green mountains, and entered Qingshan City before the city gate closed.
The road back to the courtyard is not long, and there are many people walking on the road. They are all walking leisurely, chatting slowly, leisurely and peaceful.
"Hey! Chen..." Li Laoer paused and called, "Mr. Chen."
It's almost easy to say, probably because this man looks so much like Mr. Chen.
Chen Changsheng stepped forward and called: "Brother Li."
Brother Li smiled and said, "Master Chen, is he out of town?"
"Well, let's go meet someone." Chen Changsheng smiled.
The two started chatting in front of the wine shop.
There weren't many things to talk about in a hurry that day, but now that we have free time, we naturally talk more.
Through the friendship of 'Mr. Chen', we chatted a lot.
This is the relationship between neighbors and neighbors. Friendships overlap each other, gradually become closer, and last for a long time.
Before leaving, Brother Li offered to give him some wine, but Chen Changsheng refused. The reason was that the wine he had given him had not yet been finished.
Brother Li smiled and said, "That's fine. Drinking too much wine will hurt your nerves."
He watched Mr. Chen leave.
Brother Li looked at the back and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "How could there be two people who look like this..."
He sighed, feeling that his memory was confused.
Cihua squatted at the entrance of the alley and looked into the distance. It licked its paws from time to time, as if waiting for someone.
It wasn't until a figure appeared at the corner of the alley that it took steps and walked towards that person.
Chen Changsheng looked around and saw Li Hua approaching. He knelt down and asked, "Is Li Hua waiting for Chen?"
Li Hua looked around and saw someone on the street, so she said nothing.
Chen Changsheng wanted to reach out and hug it, but Li Hua dodged it.
"Meow."
If it wants to walk on its own, it might as well become fat.
Chen Changsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, "Well, you can go alone."
Chen Changsheng stepped forward, and Li Hua followed beside him, inseparable.
It wasn't until they entered the alley and there was no one around that Li Hua spoke.
"Good man Chen."
"Um?"
"Lihua is hungry."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng paused and couldn't help but laugh: "Is it because I'm hungry for love that I waited for Chen at the alley?"
Li Hua blinked and said, "What if that's not the case?"
Chen Changsheng was really defeated by its naivety.
He immediately asked: "Didn't Ruyi prepare anything for you?"
"Ruyi said she was busy with something, and she hasn't come back yet."
"I see, maybe it's something related to the embroidery workshop."
After all, Ruyi is the manager of the embroidery workshop, so it is impossible for him to wander around the courtyard idle every day.
"So, did Mr. Chen bring food to Lihua?"
"No, Chen hasn't eaten yet."
"Well, are you hungry?"
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "I'm not hungry."
After hearing this, Li Hua blinked and said, "Then next time Li Hua will bring food to Good Man Chen."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help laughing when he saw its serious appearance.
"OK."
"What does Mr. Chen like to eat?"
"Want to see what Lihua brings to Chen?"
"fish."
"That's okay."
Chatting like this, one person and one cat walked into the alley and entered the small courtyard.
Not long after, some smoke rose from the roof tiles in the kitchen of the small courtyard.
A certain civet cat has already set up a small courtyard and is waiting on the stove.
Although it is not a fish, Lihua has never disliked it.
Because Chen Haoren can eat whatever he eats, and he also has his own bowl, which is good.
As dusk faded, one person and one cat sat in the small courtyard enjoying the breeze and eating food.
The food is not delicious, but it has a bit more flavor because of the leisurely energy as it is about to fall.
Chen Changsheng paused and took out the jianzhan that Brother Tao had given him before.
Li Hua's eyes lit up when she saw such a shiny thing.
"What baby?"
"It's not a baby."
"Lihua doesn't believe it."
Li Hua looked carefully and saw that it was a bowl.
It paused and suddenly said: "Good man Chen, this bowl is not cheap, isn't it? Are you too kind to me?"
"?"
