It turned out that "Brother Xin" saw the heavy rain falling suddenly on Chen Yi's head, and he separated automatically.

In this downpour, not even a drop of water touched his body. Even his clothes and shoes were dry and clean. Not to mention water, not even dust seemed to stain him.

He usually likes to read strange stories and often imagines all kinds of strange things in the books.

Seeing such a vision, I immediately went there.

Cheng Shilian shook his head and said: "Brother Xin, this is Master Tripitaka, a wise and eminent monk. Don't be rude."

Turning around, Chen Yi bowed slightly: "Master Sanzang, this is Xin Pingping. Brother Xin is the county captain of Gao'an County, Hongzhou. I and I are close friends from the same hometown. Brother Xin has always been curious about talking about strange things. The master's magical powers are amazing. He is

It's just a moment of surprise and abruptness, I hope Master won't be surprised."

Since the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism has risen and fallen several times.

This is all because many emperors of the Tang Dynasty were fond of Buddhism and Taoism.

And today, I happen to be a person who loves Buddha.

What goes up is good, and what goes down is effective.

People in Buddhism receive much courtesy.

I have great respect for Buddhist monks.

This Master Tripitaka not only had an extraordinary magnanimity, but also had profound Buddhist teachings and extraordinary knowledge. He also had unfathomable abilities. Cheng Shilian had always been in awe of him.

"Amitabha, of course it's not strange."

Chen Yi shook his head and raised one palm to his chest in salute: "This layman does not need to panic. The young monk is a human being, not a ghost."

Xin Pingping calmed down a little and regained the high ground rationally. He also realized that his previous reaction was a bit abrupt. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed and complained repeatedly.

"Jushi Xin doesn't have to be like this,"

Chen Yi stopped him, not wanting to dwell on such a small matter endlessly, he staggered his words and said: "The young monk was in front just now, and accidentally heard the words of two laymen who were worried about the country and the king. He admired him very much, but it was not easy to eavesdrop in private.

So I came to meet you and wanted to ask the two laymen for advice, but..."

Chen Yi glanced at the two of them: "In this wilderness, the heavy rain is pouring, it is not a place to stay. Three miles ahead, there is an elm forest, and there is an inn in the forest. The two laymen might as well go there to stay and escape from the heavy rain.

.”

"Oh, there is an inn in the wild forest in the mountains? That would be great! Brother Cheng, what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

Xin Pingping was overjoyed.

It was raining heavily and it was difficult to see anything ten feet away. He was not surprised how the monk knew there was an inn ahead.

He was soaked by the heavy rain and was very upset, so he quickly urged Shi Lian.

Cheng Shilian shook his head and thanked Chen Yi.

The three of them walked together and headed west quickly.

Although they were both men of letters, they also practiced martial arts.

Otherwise, no matter how big or small they are, they are also officials, and they will not come to Beijing together to report on their duties without even an entourage.

Chen Yi is not a slow runner, let alone Chen Yi.

With his guidance, we traveled three miles in no time.

Sure enough, we saw a elm forest ahead. Just at the intersection, we saw a few tiled houses with flags hanging on the eaves fluttering in the rain, and the words "Yulin Store" could still be seen.

The two of them ran into the inn in embarrassment, and Chen Yi stepped into the store door slowly.

This Yulin store looks very shabby from the outside, but it is the same on the inside. It is also very shabby on the inside, and it is dusty everywhere, the lights are dim, and it is very gloomy and dirty.

There are several low couches scattered in the store, and there are already many people in the store, either sitting on the couches, eating wine and food at the table, or lying on the couches and sleeping soundly.

When they saw someone coming in, a few of them raised their heads slightly and glanced at them, then ignored them.

There was only one bed that looked relatively clean, and the only person occupying it was a man in green clothes, lying on his side on the bed, with his back to several people.

Cheng and Xin frowned a little.

At this time, the store owner came over with a smile on his face.

"You two adults, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"

Xin Pingping frowned and said: "We need to eat and stay in a hotel, but you don't have any place here for me to wait for dinner?"

"Yes!"

The store owner kept saying.

He greeted us with sharp eyes.

Although these two people were covered in mud and water and looked very embarrassed, their clothes were extraordinary and they were wearing official clothes.

After testing the title, I saw that the two of them looked normal, obviously they were used to it, and they were more determined.

How many times has he seen noble people in this place?

How could you not serve me well?

Not to mention the two adults, even the monk behind him looks extraordinary.

But a monk is just a monk, why are adults so important?

The smile on the shopkeeper's face became even more flattering: "Two adults, please wait a moment. The little one will go and sit down with you!"

As he said that, he bent over and turned around, trotting towards the man in green clothes. He called twice, but when there was no response, he stretched out his hand to shake it and shouted: "Wake up!"

The man in green clothes was shaken awake and was very unhappy, but the store owner turned a blind eye and said, "Get up quickly and give this place to those two adults!"

The man in green clothes propped up his upper body and looked back with an ugly expression.

"Why is this store so rude?"

At the door, Xin Gongping saw this, his face was unhappy, and he walked over in a few steps: "Why is your store so unreasonable? Everything is first come, first served. Why are you chasing people away?"

The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly and said matter-of-factly: "How can people like him compare with these two adults? You are an official and he is a citizen, so you should give in to each other."

"Why can't they be compared?"

Xin Pingping scolded: "You are not an official post here. When you stay in the hotel, you have to judge the status of the government and the people? Go quickly! Find another free place for us, and don't disturb others anymore."

"Yes yes yes!"

The store owner didn't know that the horse's ass was slapped on the leg, so he responded repeatedly and left in embarrassment.

"Because I am disturbing you and disrupting your peace, please continue to rest."

Mr. Xin gave a slight salute, then turned and returned to the door.

The man in green glanced at him and lay back on the couch.

Not long after, the store owner came back again.

It happened that the guests on the same couch had finished their wine and food, but they didn't plan to stay overnight and left in the heavy rain.

This couch happens to be right next to the guest in green.

Finally having a place to rest, Cheng and Xin asked the store for hot water and went to the back of the house to change and wash themselves.

Chen Yi sat on the couch and looked around.

I have to say that this ancient inn is really not as comfortable and antique as seen in TV movies.

It's not that it doesn't happen, but that's the kind of treatment that only high-ranking officials have.

Ordinary civilians are more like this.

A bed can be used for both sitting and lying down, and is both a place to eat and a place to sleep.

There isn't even a curtain, what kind of room is there? It's even more nonsense.

Chen Yi's eyes turned around and fell on the man in green lying on the couch not far away, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Then he closed his eyes and said nothing, and sat cross-legged on the couch, like an old monk in meditation.

After a while, Cheng and Xin returned here dry and dry.

The store delivered a table of food at the right time.

Xin Gongping glanced at the man in green next to him and said, "Your Excellency, if you haven't fallen asleep yet, you might as well have some food and wine together as an apology for disturbing your slumber."

The man in green clothes moved, turned over and sat up, with a pleased expression on his face: "In that case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

At that moment, Zhen Zhen came over generously and took a seat on the couch.

Everyone reported their names. The guest in green clothes was originally named Wang Mingzhen. He was from Chang'an and a member of the Wang family in Kaihuafang, which was also a wealthy family.

He behaved calmly, and his conversation was not out of the ordinary.

As the conversation progressed, it became clear that his words were eloquent, his knowledge was extraordinary, and his thinking was difficult to achieve.

Xin Pingping admired him very much. He held a wine pot and poured wine to encourage him to drink.

Even Cheng Shilian looked at him with some suspicion and drank several drinks with him.

Chen Yi was just eating by himself, paying no attention to anyone else. Cheng and Xin seemed to have ignored him and forgotten about him.

At this time, the man in green glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, raised his glass and drank, talking loudly as usual.

Xin Gongping's face was red at this time and he was slightly tipsy. He raised his glass and sighed: "People often say: Of all things in nature, I am the most spiritual. All the great Confucian scholars and famous scholars have exhausted the principles of nature. In the books of sages, it is also said that human beings are the most spiritual, but human beings are the most spiritual."

We don’t even know what we will eat tomorrow, what we will do, where we will go, whether our future will be light or dark, when we will be born, when we will die, how can An Neng be alive?”

"hehe……"
