Only then did Xiang Xiuping realize that he knew Su Ziji, but Su Ziji might not know him. He said to the young man in the middle: "Brother Zhang, I'm in a hurry. I won't play chess with you today. Let's make an appointment another day." ?”
The young man seemed not to notice that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between Xiang Xiuping and the young man who followed him. He nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's make an appointment another day."
When Xiang Xiuping went out, he looked at Su Ziji and said, "Are you a newly admitted student from Taixue?"
Su Ziji's eyes turned and said: "It seems that there are many foreigners staying in this layman's room. It is not surprising that Xiang Xiuping would appear here. He may have lived here before."
"No." Su Ziji did not explain in detail. He only took out the note written by Lord Zhou and handed it over: "It was Lord Zhou who introduced me to live here."
"Bringing the female dependents?" The young man glanced at it. He recognized the handwriting on it. It was indeed written by Lord Zhou of Taixue. He nodded: "There happens to be a courtyard that has just been vacated. You don't even need to clean it up. You can move in directly. Here is the key. , go straight in along the entrance road, and you can see the house numbers, and the sixth courtyard is in the row of Mei characters. "
"Come on, register here." The young man took out another book and asked Su Zi to register.
It was just a simple name, place of origin and recommender. After Su Ziji finished writing, the young man took it back and took a look at it. He couldn't help but admire: "Good words!"
"There are often Imperial students here. Since you were recommended by Mr. Zhou, you must be a member of the same group. If you have nothing to do, you can come here and sit for a while."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Zhang Mingfei. There are actually a few people working here. They are all like me, who came from other places to take part in the examination but failed. If you are willing, you can come over and talk to me. We read and talked about poetry together.”
Seeing that he was very enthusiastic, Su Ziji agreed with a smile and said goodbye to Cao Yiyan.
I went to the small courtyard of the Sixth House of Meizi No. and opened the door and walked around. As Zhang Fei said, you can live here directly. There is even some firewood and rice left, and I will cook a meal or two.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Ziji left the garden, took an ox cart back to Taixue, and picked up Ye Buhui and the little fox.
Ye Buhui, who had expected to move, was not surprised at all. The little fox seemed to be reluctant to leave Taixue, and couldn't help but turn around and chirp several times.
"What, you can't bear to part with it?" Su Ziji looked at it with a smile in his eyes.
The little fox was startled for a moment, then immediately turned his head and gathered himself up so that Su Ziji wouldn't see it.
"Don't scare it!" Ye Buhui couldn't help laughing and glared at Su Ziji again.
"I'm just asking casually." Su Ziji touched his nose and smiled bitterly, but he vaguely guessed in his heart that this place of Taixue might also be good for the little fox.
When they finally arrived at the lay garden of Qingyuan Temple, the ox cart could drive directly in. Su Ziji did not stop and let the cart go directly to the gate of the Sixth House of Meizi No. 6.
When he got out of the car, he found that the little fox was shaking again. Su Ziji looked around thoughtfully.
"Is there any master here?"
Just as he was thinking, he saw Cao Yiyan coming out again.
"..." Su Ziji looked at Cao Yiyan and then at the little fox.
At this moment, on the road leading to the gate, the sound of an oxcart and the sound of bells came from afar, and Cao Yiyan's expression changed slightly and he took a few steps forward.
In a blink of an eye, the car arrived. It was a large cart pulled by four oxen. The oxen had copper masks on their faces, Zhai feathers on their heads, colorful ribbons and bells on their chests, a box cover, a four-pillar tent, and a dragon. When the Chi decoration is moved, a clear and melodious ringing sound will sound.
"This is the Yandi chariot, but instead of two horses it has four oxen."
The identity of the woman in the car is of great importance.
Just by glancing at the bullock cart, Su Ziji already knew it in his mind, and also had some guesses as to why Cao Yiyan appeared here.
"Hmph!" At this time, Cao Yiyan snorted and looked towards the path leading to Qingyuan Temple.
Su Ziji also looked over and saw a monk of about the same age, seventeen or eighteen years old, walking slowly.
Su Ziji had already seen some outstanding people, and when he saw the monk's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be startled.
Wearing an ordinary Sanskrit robe, there are no decorations, not even hair, but he is handsome and handsome in life, with extraordinary appearance, especially his eyes, which are clear and tolerant, and his walking posture is straight and calm, unlike those in the world.
The bullock cart also stopped at this time, and two maids jumped out, followed by a woman who was less than forty years old, and finally the girl who was helped down.
"The poor monk debates the mystery, and I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess." Facing the girl who looked over with a smile, the monk was not frivolous at all, and he saluted solemnly.
"Oh, didn't I say that you are allowed to call me Xinping?" The girl covered her lips and smiled. Her eyes fell directly on the monk. Looking at the two outstanding young people here from a distance, she glanced at them lightly.
Su Ziji naturally didn't care, and was still surprised. It turned out that the girl was a princess, but Cao Yiyan couldn't bear it. He walked over and saluted Princess Xinping: "Student has met Princess Xinping."
"Mr. Cao, are you here to debate the scriptures too?" Princess Xian still recognized Cao Yiyan and nodded slightly.
Su Ziji stood in the distance and heard that the Bianxuan monk was not far away, so he took a walk in the garden. The princess asked questions and explained the Brahma Sutra. He shook his head and cleaned up the yard by himself. The environment here is really good. In particular, there is a Bodhi tree, which is five feet high and more than a foot thick. It is a pity that it is winter, otherwise, the wide spreading crown of the tree really gives people a cool feeling.
After folding a few small blocks, I wanted to leave. When I heard it, I could hear that Monk Bianxuan was very eloquent and had a deep study of Sanskrit scriptures. He had something unique and unique. The princess was shaking her head.
As a result, Cao Yiyan didn't seem angry and intervened in the debate with Bianxuan. Su Ziji only listened to a few words and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Any debate must be conducted with reference to an objective and neutral entity. The most taboo thing is to debate within someone else's system."
"For example, monks use Confucianism to debate, scholars use Sanskrit method to debate, and both fail. I have seen Taoism and Sanskrit debates in history, and Taoism has failed repeatedly. It is not because I have no eloquence, but because Taoism is too deeply influenced by Sanskrit. , cannot adhere to the principle of Qi, but instead argue with it based on the principle of Brahman.”
"This is called a theoretical trap. You use your own shortcomings to compete with the other's strengths. Could it be that Cao Yiyan has lost his mind?"
“To argue with monks within the Brahma Dharma is to bring shame upon oneself.”
Sure enough, after just a few words, Cao Yiyan's expression suddenly became ugly, even Su Ziji could see it in the distance.
Su Ziji, who was not very interested in the Buddhist scriptures or the princess, turned around and left. However, after taking a few steps, he heard footsteps behind him.
"Brother Cao, what is this?" Seeing Cao Yiyan come out angrily, Su Ziji pretended not to understand.
Cao Yiyan flicked his sleeves and was so angry that his handsome face took on a stern look, but he held it back for a moment and sighed with Su Ziji: "You are not this monk yet. During the Wei Dynasty, even though Sanskritism was introduced, But it cannot be expanded. Now the monks of Qingyuan Temple are friends with powerful people, and it is spreading rapidly. I am afraid it is not the blessing of Great Zheng!"
After saying that, he left quickly.
Su Ziji watched the other party's back and smiled secretly: "It turns out that Cao Yiyan actually likes Princess Xinping."
The monk's friendship with powerful people is nothing more than dissatisfaction with Princess Xinping's favor.
