Bachelor

Chapter 189

Chen Rong's character was extremely cowardly, and when he heard Sun Dan say that he wanted to stand up for him, he was timid at first, and said in a low voice, "It's not good, it's just a little idleness, it's not worth caring about him."

Sun Dan pulled Chen Rong and walked forward, "Brother Shu Zhi has a big heart, and Wan Sheng admires it very much. However, there are too many villains in this world. If you back down every step of the way, you will be underestimated. No, today is very important. Ask Wang Li for an explanation."

Chen Rong was afraid, but Sun Dan's hands were as straight as iron tongs, and he couldn't get away for a while, so he couldn't help but said anxiously: "It's useless to go, Guanzhu Wang is traveling around the world these days, and he is not in the temple."

"It's no wonder. There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings. Once he left, the bull-nosed subordinates under him were not restrained. No wonder it is so disgusting. Well, I will discipline his apprentices for Wang Daochang. By the way , who was that fat black Taoist just now?"

The Lord of Baiyun Temple, Wang Li, is the leader of Northern Taoism, Quanzhen Headmaster, as famous as Shao Yuan Festival in Longhu Mountain, and is known as "Northern King and Southern Shao". It is said that he is also a high-level person. The people under him are so unbearable?
This made Sun Dan a little strange.

"Hey, you were talking about the Taoist priest just now. His surname is Tie, and he is the supervisor of Baiyun Temple." Chen Rong said with some embarrassment: "This person is good in everything else, except that he has a bad temper."

"You still say good things for him when he puts you down like this?" Sun Dan was completely speechless, and it was really speechless for Wang Rong to be honest like this.

The so-called supervisor is the second in command of the Taoist temple, responsible for the general affairs of the temple.This kind of person does not need to be very high-level, but there is one thing, he must know how to look at his face, be able to attract sponsors to Taoist temples, and be a modern CEO.A poor scholar like Chen Rong is naturally not in the business scope of the Supervisory Academy, and it is understandable that his attitude is bad.

There is not a pure land in the Taoist temple, and the Taoist priests also need to eat and drink.

Sun Dan had a good impression of Chen Rong, a simple and honest person like Chen Rong, but he couldn't understand the philistine appearance of the Iron Supervisory Institute. He wanted to express his gratitude for Chen Rong, and ignored his objections, and dragged him to the Guanzhong living room. go.

After entering the living room, the intellectual who was in charge of reception was obviously very familiar with Chen Rong, so he smiled and said, "Chen Xiucai, why did you come here?"

Chen Rong hesitated for a long time, then pointed at Sun Dan and said, "This brother forced me to come here."

Zhike then turned his attention to Sun Dan, and found that although he looked ordinary, he had an indescribable bearing.Although the robe he was wearing outside was ordinary, the clothes inside and the shoes on his feet were extremely exquisite. He didn't look like an ordinary scholar, so he hurried over to greet him and asked respectfully: "Please tell me your name and name, sir. Are you here?" Those who live here or those who come to offer incense?”

"What's my name, I'll talk about it later." Sun Dan smiled and sat upright: "I came to your temple, firstly, I wanted to live in your place for a while. Second, I have heard the incense of Baiyun Temple for a long time. It is effective, Guanzhu Wang is also a well-known virtuous person in the five northern provinces, and I would like to ask him to pray for my parents in another world."

When Sun Dan said that he wanted to pray for his parents, Zhike was even more enthusiastic.However, he still said regretfully that Wang Guanzhu was wandering outside, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back.

Sun Dan smiled and said deliberately: "It turns out that Wang Guanzhu is not here, but it doesn't matter. I heard people say that your Iron Supervisory Academy is also a good man. Otherwise, invite him to do the same."

Zhike was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "It is true, Tiejianyuan is also a master who has practiced for many years, the guest will wait a moment. I will go and invite the prisonyuan to come over." Even though he said that, Zhike didn't take it seriously.It is a big joke to say that Tiejianyuan is a master of Taoism.This person has been responsible for the general affairs of welcoming and sending people in the temple since he entered the temple, and he is a good hand when it comes to settling accounts.But when it comes to Taoism, I'm afraid he won't read the "Tao Te Ching" a few times a year.The master of the temple devoted himself to seeking the truth, and was impatient with managing general affairs, so he handed over the power of the temple to the Iron Supervisory Institute.This guest asked the Iron Supervisory Court to do something by name. Isn't this embarrassing him?
However, the incense money delivered to the door cannot be just pushed out like this.The past two years have not been easy for Baiyun Temple, the incense is light and there is no income.However, relying on the meager land rent in the temple property, it is not enough to maintain the Taoists in Guanzhong.Now, judging by Sun Dan's demeanor, he should be a generous master. He might not want to drive ducks to the shelves and let the Iron Supervisory Academy come over to fool him.

Although the Baiyun Temple is old, it is also the place where the Taoism of Changchun Daoist is located, and this small living room is also elegant.Two cups of exotic tea are placed on the table, and a stick of sandalwood is lit in the incense burner.On the wall behind him is a calligraphy and painting, which depicts a Taoist with a sword in his hand, with a poem written by Lu Dongbin on it: "Chaoci Baidi Mu Cangwu, the green snake in his sleeve is courageous, and the people who have passed Yueyang three times do not know it. Dongting Lake.

The inscription is precisely Wang Li, the master of Baiyun Temple.

There is no coloring in this painting, it is all splashed and dyed with ink. The painting is unrestrained and heroic, coupled with Lu Zu's poems, it has an indescribable spirit.

When Sun Dan was in elementary school, he also studied sketching with an art teacher for several years, so he has a certain foundation in art.When I was in middle school, I put this hobby aside because of the pressure of further studies.When I went to college and had more time, I picked up this hobby from my childhood again.In addition, there is a classmate in the class whose father is a famous master of traditional Chinese painting.As the saying goes, calligraphy and painting are not separated from each other, and when Sun Dan is practicing calligraphy, he is also.After studying with this classmate for several years, he can draw decently, and his eyesight is quite good.

Seeing Wang Li's words, Sun Dan nodded secretly in his heart: Although the technique is still a little rough, it has already obtained the samadhi of literati painting.

Traditional Chinese paintings before the Ming Dynasty were mostly fine brushwork and heavy colors, pursuing pictographic shapes.Until the Jiajing year, a large number of splash-ink landscape painters represented by Xu Wenchang entered the painting circle, and the style of Chinese painting changed.More pursuit of pen and ink fun, the pursuit of understanding freehand brushwork.Beginning with Xu Wei, Bada Shanren, Shi Tao, and even Qi Baishi in the Republic of China, literati painting has finally become a major genre in Chinese painting, and its style is already slightly higher than that of freehand brushwork.

Sun Dan was fascinated, but Chen Rong, who was sitting next to him, was embarrassed. He wanted to talk several times, but he didn't dare to interrupt Sun Dan's interest.

Sitting in pain, I heard a loud laughter from outside: "Okay, so a benefactor has come over. How dare you ask who the benefactor is from, and how long do you want to stay with me?"

His steps were heavy, and there was a gust of wind when he walked. Who is it if it's not the Iron Supervisory Academy?
Chen Rong hurriedly stood up, "Master."

The Iron Supervisor was surprised to see that it was Chen Rong, and the smile on his face froze: "What are you doing here, didn't you tell me, I'll find someone else to paint those two walls."

Sun Dan turned around: "Tiejian Yuan, I plan to stay with you for half a month. By the way, I also want to ask you Baiyun Temple to pray for my parents."
