Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 718

"You're welcome, layman Gu. I owe all my journeys to the nobles for their help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to reach Daijun now."

The old monk smiled calmly and clasped his hands together.

"It turns out that this is the great master Zhu Fa!"

When Zhang Jingsheng, Wang Kuai and others saw him, they also stepped forward and saluted the old monk.

On the contrary, Luo Yang was a little puzzled. Seeing the almost excessive politeness of Zhang Jingsheng, Wang Kuai and others, he couldn't help being a little puzzled, and whispered: "What is the origin of this old monk? How come Brother Zhang and Brother Wang are actually this Want to do something extra?"

He knew that many members of the aristocratic family had gone and returned this time. Not only did they come by themselves, but they also brought many people with them, but he didn't take it to heart because he didn't care about the Buddhist monks who came with him. Luo Yang neither believed much nor had any awe. He had heard that Gu En and others brought monks here before, and had teased Zhang Jingsheng and Wang Kuai. The latter two also didn't seem to take it to heart, but now Seeing Zhu Fawei acting like this, Luo Yang couldn't help but be confused.

Lu Jian listened at the side, but explained: "Brother Zhang and Brother Wang, the reason why they are like this is not because of Buddhism, but because they respect the monk Zhu Fawei, or in other words, they respect his teacher."

Luo Yang suddenly became interested and asked: "Who is this teacher of the great Master Zhu Fa?"

"Do you know Protector Zhu?" Lu Jian asked back, then walked forward and bowed respectfully.

"This name sounds familiar." Luo Yang murmured in his heart. Seeing that everyone was going up, he couldn't stand here, so he had to follow the gourd.

After some courtesy, Zhang Jingsheng, Wang Kuai, and Gu En chatted with the old monk again. It seemed that they had met them before.

Luo Yang was bored as he listened, just thinking about the origin of Fahu Zhu's name.

At this time, there was a weak voice next to him, whispering: "Master Zhu Dharma Protector is the famous Dunhuang Bodhisattva. It is said that he is a powerful Buddhist, and his Buddha's bone relics are still enshrined in Luoyang City."

"Huh?" Luo Yang was stunned when he heard the words. He looked over following the voice, but what he saw was a slightly thin figure. The man was dressed in simple clothes and was sitting cross-legged on the ground. A piece of paper was spread out in front of him. The words on the lantern were copied in tiny handwriting.

This person was clearly the young man who had just eavesdropped on the conversation of several people.

This person was always paying attention to the movements of Luo Yang and others, and taking advantage of the convenience of his position, he heard a few sentences from Luo Yang, and then made his own guesses. After getting his doubts, he spoke out at this time.

"What? Do you know this person?" Luo Yang narrowed his eyes and asked simply.

"I know a thing or two," the young man put down his pen at this moment, stood up, cupped his hands, and under the surprised eyes of Zhang Jingsheng and others, he saluted the old monk and said, "Master's teacher, A man of great virtue comes from the Western Regions, is proficient in the languages ​​of hundreds of countries, is proficient in the Six Classics, and is involved in hundreds of schools of thought. He takes the true scriptures from the Buddhist holy land in the West and returns to the Eastern Land to spread virtue widely!"

"This little layman knows very well about the old monk's affairs." The old monk smiled slightly.

Others were a little surprised, looking at the young man with curiosity and scrutiny.

This is normal. No matter how you look at it, this person should be from a low background. Not to mention his plain clothes. If you look closely, you can see a few patches. Such a person certainly does not come from a wealthy family. , the channels for obtaining information are limited, and the horizons will definitely not be broadened, otherwise, he would not be here, and like others, he would lie on the ground and copy the lantern sentences.

"I know a lot. I guess you are not an ordinary person. Do you have any background?" Luo Yang asked directly without caring about much.

The man hesitated for a moment and then said: "My name is Gao Bing, and I am a descendant of the Chinese Miao. However, I lived in the country of Goguryeo. I recently traveled east for some reason. I happened to hear the call of Chen Fujun, so I came here to study." "So that's it. .” Luo Yang nodded, and the others understood.

They realized that this person should be from Goguryeo. Maybe he really was a Chinese Miao descendant, but it was more likely to be far-fetched.

Although the current tribes outside the Great Wall are fighting fiercely, the Xiongnu and others are enemies of the Han Dynasty and are openly causing chaos. However, within their tribes, there are still many people who admire the culture of the Central Plains, and they even do not hesitate to lean on their ancestors. Directly compiled into the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period to prove one's nobility.

This situation is especially obvious within the Huns.

The Xiongnu Kingdom thought very highly of itself and even looked down on the Han court officers and soldiers. However, within the tribe, anyone with some status would move closer to the Yanliu bloodline. The most thorough among them was the family of the head of the country, because they had married a princess in the past. The relationship was directly changed to the surname Liu to show the noble bloodline.

With such an example, all the surrounding tribes, tribes and countries all imitated it.

After Zhang Jingsheng and others heard this, they thought so and did not say anything. They just praised him a few words, but had no intention of further communication. After all, the status gap between the two parties was too big and there was a gap.

Na Gao Bing couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when he saw this scene. He took the initiative to come forward. Of course he wanted to take the opportunity to make friends. If he could catch up with Zhang Jingsheng and others, there would be no need to work hard to copy here. It wouldn't be soaring into the sky. Maybe they could be directly Meeting Chen Zhi, it is not impossible to learn from a teacher.

Gao Bing had heard that Chen Zhi only recruited one or two disciples, and his students were not from wealthy backgrounds.

"People from these aristocratic families still look down on us. They have to rely on themselves after all!"

After seeing a few compliments from the people in front of him, Gao Bing's attention shifted to the old monk. Gao Bing gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, glanced at the paper and pen at his feet, and felt a fire rising in his heart.

However, Zhang Jingsheng and others did not pay attention to his emotions at all, and they walked away while talking with the old monk.

As soon as they walked away, they immediately saw clearly that along the way, the people lying on the ground copying had different thoughts, but with such a scene, the words in their mouths, unconsciously, gradually moved towards the lantern. The words were deflected.

"From my point of view, Jushi Chen's intentions are good, but he has gone too far. This kind of enlightenment and conversion should be done step by step. I will propose to him at the dinner later."

When the old monk spoke, he revealed a little thought.

At this time, a burst of laughter came from behind——

"Principal Taoist Master's move is just right. Why do you, a monk, criticize me so much?"

Ok?
After hearing this, several people looked in the direction of the sound. What they saw were two figures walking as fast as flying. The leader of the group was smiling and was an acquaintance of everyone.

"Taoist Master Taixuzi?"

　Thanks to "mnkhfhks", "Red Dust Ni", "Yueyue Chengjue" and "brownspecter" for the rewards!
