Be a master through ancient times

Baique nunnery is located in the eastern suburbs of the capital, about an hour and a half away from Zhennan Wangfu.A little further to the east, it is beyond the boundaries of the capital.

Chu Ci put down the partition of the carriage, and was sitting there copying Jiang Xian's letter to his mother, adding a few words from time to time.

Zhu Feng sat on the other side and watched curiously. When he found that Chu Ci's handwriting was exactly the same as Jiang Xian's, he was immediately surprised.

"Chu Siye, you still have this skill!"

"What's wrong with this move? It can be done with a little bit of effort." Chu Ci felt that he was making too much fuss.He began to imitate his parents' handwriting to sign test papers since the third grade of elementary school.

His parents and grandparents are rarely at home all year round, and there is always a nanny at home to take him.Chu Ci didn't want the nanny to sign for him, so he found out their signatures and practiced them every day. In less than half a month, he was able to write freely and fluently.Not to mention that the teacher can't tell the difference, even his parents themselves may be wrong.

When he got older, he asked himself to copy a calligraphy and painting of everyone every day.He won't write the next one until he feels like it.

"Then, Chu Siye, have you ever thought about selling imitation characters?" Zhu Feng asked carefully, but even so, he was hit on the head by Chu Ci.

"Oh, I'm just asking." Zhu Feng said shyly.

"What are you asking? You are doubting my personality. Even if I starve to death, I will not cheat for money. Why do you ask such a question? Have you ever seen it?"

"Last year, Shiro and I were drinking tea in a certain tea house, and then we saw a down-and-out scholar sitting next to a profiteer holding a pair of calligraphy. After listening to their conversation, we found out that the scholar's original surname was Huang, and he was Huang Tingjian, a Taoist of the valley. He has a pair of "Songfeng Pavilion Poetry Posts" in his hand, and because his mother is seriously ill, he decided to sell it for money. The profiteer saw that he was anxious, so he repeatedly lowered the price, and we couldn't stand it."

"You guys still know the Daoist in the valley, and you know "Songfengge Poetry Posts"?" Chu Ci laughed, it sounded like a hoax.

"You underestimate us, don't you? Zhao Qing's grandfather used to be a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and his family has a lot of books. No matter what, he can know a little bit." Zhu Feng was very unconvinced.

"Okay, blame me for looking down on you, I apologize. And then? What happened?"

Zhu Feng was a little embarrassed, he said: "We had a quarrel with him at that time, we saw that copybook, and wanted to buy the scholar's copybook at a high price, but the five of us only had 200 taels of silver notes and a few Ten taels of scattered silver. The scholar is very generous, he said that the money will be regarded as a deposit, let us go back to raise money, and he will wait for us here."

Chu Ci was deeply jealous. He came to the capital to rush for the exam, and he only had more than 200 taels of silver with him. These little bastards have so much money for a drink of tea?It was only later that Chu Ci found out that it was Chinese New Year at that time. After getting the New Year's money, this group of people planned to go to the brothel to see it, but they were cheated before it was evening. It is a merit.

"Wu Guang kept an eye out and let people watch the scholar here, and then we went home to raise money. My mother and I had been entangled for a long time before asking for 200 taels of silver, but when we arrived, the scholar It’s gone, there’s only that pair of words on the table. The guard’s storyteller suddenly had a stomachache and went to the latrine. It turned out that he wanted to take the words away, but he was the one who stopped them from leaving them behind. We searched for a long time, but we couldn’t I didn’t see this scholar, so I bought it for 260 taels.”

"Hahaha, did you think you made money at the time?" Chu Ci laughed.

"No, we felt sorry for the scholar at the time. Because I gave the most money, they told me to write. I went back with the copybook and met my father at the door. When he saw me holding the copybook, he said he would Take a look. And then..."

"Then what?"

"Then he called me stupid, beat me a few times, took back the 200 taels my mother gave me, and then told the accountant that he could only pay me ten taels of silver that month. This matter was told to those fathers, and everyone was punished." Zhu Feng said dejectedly.

"Pfft ha ha ha..." Chu Ci couldn't help laughing again. Seeing Zhu Feng looking over with a depressed face, he immediately smoothed the corners of his upturned mouth, and said sadly, "This is really a sad story."

Zhu Feng felt that what was going on seemed to make him even more depressed after hearing it.

"Later my father and the others sent people to visit and finally caught the scholar. He didn't have a seriously ill mother, not even a scholar. He was just a street rogue who went in and out of casinos and brothels every day to make a living. He was put in prison after that, and he hasn't come out yet."

Chu Ci is silent, cheating money is risky, you need to be cautious in picking people.If you tease the little bear cub, can you still not provoke the big bear?

"You have been fooled before, why do you still ask me if I will sell fake words?"

Zhu Feng struggled for a long time, and finally said: "I broke the "Ling Fei Jing" in my father's study. He has been busy with his work these days, so he didn't notice that I changed it. I would like to ask Chu Siye for your help." Help me, or I will definitely be beaten to death by my father."

Chu Ci was speechless. This will be a national treasure in the future, and it is also a rare good thing at this time, so it was broken like this?

"For your sake today, I'll help you once. Prepare your things and send them to my residence at night. But you can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever. I advise you to confess to your father."

Zhu Feng laughed as soon as he heard it, and patted his chest to promise: "Chu Siye, don't worry, I promise to deliver it in the evening. Also, I will help you keep the sign for the next few days! But the confession will be counted first for the time being." Well, my father is not in a good mood these days, I dare not touch him and let him vent his anger."

Chu Ci glanced at him, but smiled and said nothing, this guy has obviously thought about the addiction of managing others, right?He doesn't expose him, if his enthusiasm is dampened, how can he trick free helpers to do things for him in the future?

"Young Master, Baique Temple is here!" The coachman outside shouted, because Duan disappeared, so they took Zhu's carriage.

Chu Ci and Zhu Feng got out of the carriage. It was not the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year. Only a few pilgrims entered, and most of them were female relatives.It's not that there are no male pilgrims, but most of them are elderly.

They bought joss sticks at the door, and then entered the nunnery with others.

The Miaoshan Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva enshrined in this Baique Temple is also the Avalokitesvara with thousands of hands and eyes.Legend has it that Guanyin Bodhisattva was reincarnated as a royal alias Miaoshan when he crossed the catastrophe, and then used his hands and eyes to heal his father, and was named Thousand-Handed Guanyin by the emperor Jinkou Yuyan.

Although Chu Ci has no faith, but because of his own experience, it is inevitable that he has a sense of awe when dealing with these things.Therefore, he and Zhu Feng were not in a hurry to find Princess Pingchang, but first worshiped the Bodhisattva in the nunnery before going to find the nunnery master.

The head of the nunnery is called Master Zhenyan. She is very old, but I don't know whether it is because of worshiping Buddha and cultivating her heart or because she has been a vegetarian for many years, so she doesn't look very old.Many old grandmothers in the capital like to ask her to give lectures.

"I don't know what the two little benefactors are doing with the old nun?"

"Master, you're being polite. I want to talk to layman Huijue about Buddhism." Chu Ci said with a smile. His appearance is not as oppressive as other men, and he is very pleasing among elderly women.

"Hui Jue?" Master Zhenyan looked at Chu Ci, and then unobtrusively looked at Zhu Feng behind Chu Ci.

Sensing her gaze, Chu Ci pulled Zhu Feng over and said, "This is my student, named Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng, please say hello to Master."

Master Zhenyan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his surname was Zhu.Seeing that he was about the same age as that person, she thought... it was all a sinful debt!

"Master is good." Zhu Feng was a little unnatural, he didn't like staying here very much.

Master Zhenyan nodded to him, and then said: "Two little benefactors, although Huijue is practicing in this nunnery, the old nun can't decide where she goes at will. Let me ask someone to ask, and then I will answer."

"Thank you mage."

"Consummation, go to Lay Huijue and tell her about it."

"Yes." Xiao Ni on the side went out.Master Zhenyan watched her leave, and then invited Chuci and the others to sit down and have a cup of new tea.

Chu Ci sat down obediently, picked up the tea on the low table, and took a sip.In such a quiet place, I don't know if everyone will be infected a little bit.Chu Ci felt that the complex emotions that filled his heart for the past two days had all dissipated with this cup of fragrant tea.

Seeing that they were silent, Master Zhenyan also sat there and recited Buddhist scriptures silently.

After a while, the perfect master came back. She clasped her hands together and recited a sentence of Buddha, and then said: "Layman Huijue said that she has passed away from the world and sees no outsiders."

"You two benefactors, you heard it too." The truth mage had already guessed the ending.

"May I ask this Master Consummation, did Layman Huijue say these few words?" Chu Ci asked.

"Layman Huijue first asked me who the visitors were, and I said they were two male pilgrims. She then asked how old they were. I said one looked seventeen or eighteen, and the other looked fourteen or fifteen. She said that the world was over. , no outsiders.” Monks don’t lie, so Master Consummation honestly reproduced the scene of their conversation.

"Then, can you bother Master Yuanyuan to run for me again? I have a letter here. If layman Huijue still says that there are no outsiders after reading it, then we will not force you."

Chu Ci took out the letter he added from his arms.He didn't dare to say how tear-jerking it was, but as long as the mother had a little love for her child, she would definitely be moved.

Of course, if she still has no emotion after reading it, it means that the Pyeongchang princess is really determined to cut off all the feelings of the world, and then he will not force it anymore.

Yuan Yuan looked at the Mantra Master, saw her nodding, took the envelope from Chu Ci's hand, turned around and went to her again.

Zhu Feng wanted to lie in his ear and talk.

Chu Ci said sternly: "There is nothing you must tell others. In front of the mage, don't do such sneaky things."

Zhu Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then said loudly: "Chu Siye, why didn't you just say that we came for Shiro? She is his mother, so why don't you ignore Shiro?"

Chu Ci raised his forehead: "You..."

"What's the matter with me?" Zhu Feng was very strange, saying it was no good in a low voice, or saying it aloud?

Without waiting for Chuci to explain, it was Master Zhenyan who spoke first.

"Are you Chu Siye from the Imperial College?"

"The mage has heard the name again?"

"The old nun usually heard some pilgrims talk about Chu Siye's benevolent deeds."

oh?Chu Ci was very curious, what did he do to get someone to help him promote his reputation for free?
