A knife in love

Chapter 3071

After listening to Qin Tieyi's words, Shang Heyang smiled slightly, and said: "This time I went to Guangdong for business, and as soon as I stepped into Fujian, I heard Zen Master Zhengyi's name mentioned many times. , although I have followed the emperor several times in the northern expedition, but I seldom charged into the battle. After a long time, I feel a little tired. Thinking of the killings on the battle front, I can’t help but feel a little guilty. When I was in the capital, I occasionally have leisure , I also went to the temple to worship the Buddha. Although I can’t say that I have a predestined relationship with the Buddha, I always want to listen to the teachings when I meet an eminent monk. This Zen Master Zhengyi is so famous, I really want to meet him if I have the opportunity.”

Hearing Shang Heyang's words, Qin Tieyi hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "This matter couldn't be easier. After the rain stops, Brother Shang will follow the younger brother to our house to rest. In the morning, the younger brother will lead the way for Brother Shang." , let’s go to Zhenhai Temple together, and we will definitely meet Zen Master Zhengyi.”

After listening to Qin Tieyi's words, Shang Heyang exchanged glances with the four guards, and then said to Qin Tieyi, "Is Zen Master Zhengyi placing orders at Zhenhai Temple right now?"

Qin Tieyi nodded, and said: "Exactly. Master Chengxin, the abbot of Zhenhai Temple, admired Zen Master Zhengyi's Buddhist attainments very much. He heard that Zen Master Zhengyi came to the boundary of Yashan and visited him in person, and invited him to Zhenhai Temple to place an order. .”

The two talked and talked, and before they knew it, more than an hour had passed.After the heavy rain stopped, Qin Tieyi left the tavern with Shang Heyang and others, and rushed back home. Shang Heyang and four guards stayed at Qin Tieyi's home that night.After Qin Tieyi resigned from office and returned to his hometown, he worked hard for many years and became the richest family in Yashan Town.He intentionally flattered Shang Heyang, and served Shang Heyang and others very thoughtfully.

Qin Tieyi's martial arts are not weak, and he can see that Shang Heyang's four subordinates are not ordinary people.After arriving at the Qin Mansion, Shang Heyang introduced the four guards to Qin Tieyi.It turned out that the four guards were all teachers from well-known schools, one of them was Yu Yunzhong, the eldest disciple of Situ Sanxian, the head of the Huashan School, the other was Nie Qingyun, a rising star of the Qingcheng School, and the other two were Taoist Qingsong, the head of the Kunlun School. The two proud disciples, the senior is Zhuang Yi and the junior is Lu Guantao, both of them are very good at martial arts.

Qin Tieyi has worked under Shang Heyang for more than ten years, and he is not an idle person. When he saw Shang Heyang bring four first-class masters to Yashan Town, he knew that his trip must be very important. Otherwise, there is no need for the commander of the imperial guards to go out of Beijing in person.It's just that Qin Tieyi has been an official for many years, knows the official rules, and dare not ask Shang Heyang what errands he wants to do.

In the early morning of the second day, Qin Tieyi had breakfast with Shang Heyang and others, and ordered his servants to bring over a dozen horses, and asked Shang Heyang and the four imperial guards to choose their own mounts, and then personally Leading the way for Shang Heyang and others, they left the Qin Mansion and went straight to Zhenhai Temple.After walking for more than an hour, he saw a large monastery with carved eaves and flying horns near the coast. Qin Tieyi pointed his whip and said, "Brother Shang, please look, there is Zhenhai Temple."

Shang Heyang looked forward, smiled, and said: "This temple is really not small. Although it can't compare with those famous temples and ancient temples, there are not many temples that can compare with Zhenhai Temple in Fujian."

Qin Tieyi brought Shang Heyang and others to the gate of Zhenhai Temple, and got off their horses one after another.Two monks who were guarding the gate saw Qin Tieyi's arrival, and hurried down the stone steps to greet him.After a few words of politeness, the two monks tied Qin Tieyi's and others' mounts to the horse stakes in front of the temple gate, and then led Qin Tieyi and Yang and others into the temple gate, and went straight to the backyard to meet him. Master Chengxin, the abbot of Zhenhai Temple.

Master Chengxin is about 50 years old, with a haggard face, tall and thin body, and looks like a dead tree at first glance.Seeing Qin Tieyi bringing Shang Heyang and others suddenly appeared, Master Chengxin was not surprised. He smiled slightly, put his hands together, and said: "Amitabha. I haven't seen you for more than ten days. Qin's benefactor has become more and more healthy." .”

Qin Tieyi hastily bowed to return the salute, and said respectfully: "Thank you, master, for your concern. I came to visit the master yesterday, but I didn't want to encounter a heavy rain on the way, so I had to return in dismay. This morning, I rushed to your temple again to listen to the explanation of the master. Diamond Sutra."

When Qin Tieyi said this, he turned sideways and pointed to Shang Heyang and the others, and said to Master Chengxin: "These are my friends who are on business in Guangdong and passing through Yashan Town. They want to meet you. Reminiscing about the old days. Several of them have heard of Zen Master Zhengyi’s name and wanted to meet him. When they heard that Zen Master Zhengyi was placing an order in your temple, they followed the next one to your temple, wanting to meet Zen Master Zhengyi and listen to Qingyin.”

Master Chengxin's expression changed slightly after hearing Qin Tieyi's words. He glanced at Shang Heyang and the others, and said, "It turns out that Qin's benefactor's friend came to our temple to rejoice. I'm so honored. It's just that the benefactors see you." Zen Master Zhengyi, today is very unlucky. Zen Master Zhengyi took a young novice to the mountain to collect medicine early in the morning, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the temple today."

After listening to Master Chengxin, Qin Tieyi couldn't help but "ah", his face was full of disappointment.But Shang Heyang didn't care, smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "It is indeed a great pity that we could not meet Zen Master Zhengyi. Fortunately, we will stay in Yashan Town for a few days, and we must have the fate to meet Zen Master Zhengyi , but there is no need to be in a hurry.”

As soon as Shang Heyang finished speaking, some monks brought fragrant tea to everyone.Master Chengxin invited everyone to sit down and personally poured tea for Qin Tieyi, Shang Heyang and others.While drinking tea, Qin Tieyi asked Master Chengxin for some difficult sentences in the Diamond Sutra.The two quoted scriptures, and the more they talked, the more addicted they became.Shang Heyang and others didn't care about the Buddhist scriptures at all, seeing Qin Tieyi and Master Chengxin like this, they felt quite contemptuous in their hearts.

After touching a stick of incense, Shang Heyang saw Qin Tieyi talking non-stop with Master Chengxin, disgusted in his heart, smiled a few times on his face, and said in his mouth: "Brother Qin, today I still have Things have to be done, so I can't stay here any longer, so I have to say goodbye first."

While talking, Shang Heyang stood up, bowed his hands to Master Chengxin, and then turned around and walked towards the door.Qin Tieyi hurriedly stood up, and said in his mouth: "Brother Shang wait a moment, younger brother will go back with you."

After he finished speaking, he bid farewell to Master Chengxin.Master Chengxin didn't want to stay, and personally sent Shang Heyang, Qin Tieyi and others out of the monastery.When everyone went around the main hall and arrived at the front yard, they were very close to the gate of the temple, suddenly they heard someone shouting viciously outside the gate of the temple and said: "Damn it, my son said that he would enter the temple to worship the Buddha, you don't know The bald donkey dared to say no, believe it or not, I twisted your head and melon seeds to make a chamber pot?!"
