Chapter 003
Li Zaixing carried the big pole that had been with him for eight years, carried his luggage and went down the rugged mountain road of the back mountain. Although Prajna Temple is in the mountains, it is famous. Many dignitaries and literati and scholars worked tirelessly to go to Prajna Temple to find immortals and visit friends and talk about Zen. Li Zaixing did not want to walk from the previous mountain, so he chose to go down the mountain from the relatively secluded back mountain. Although this road is difficult to walk, it is not difficult for him. Bajiquan has the powerful skills of playing magic skills, and it is of course no problem to merely mountain roads.
Li Zaixing scored the time and arrived at Bailong Pond at the end of noon, almost before the beginning of the day. There were huge rocks next to Bailong Pond, and springs were like dragons under the rocks. People entering and leaving the mountain usually chose to stop here for a while, drink a sip of spring water, rest and then rush on the road.
However, early spring is not the season for seeking seclusion and sightseeing, and noon is even more crowded. Li Mi waited by the spring for two hours, but did not see a single figure. When Li Zaixing came from the mountain, he was looking up at the sun while rubbing the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
Li Zaixing knew it very well, but pretended to be unexpected: "Hey, Li Sanlang?"
"It's you, my brother Zaixing." Li Mi was also a little surprised: "You are..."
"Go down the mountain and go to Chang'an." Li Zaixing looked at Li Mi with a look of surprise: "Are you... waiting for someone?"
"Oh, nothing." Li Mi was filled with disappointment. When the master said that he would meet his noble man here today. He came early in the morning and was dizzy and didn't see any noble man at all. As for Li Zaixing, although he was a disciple of the master and had good martial arts skills, his knowledge was limited to reading, and it seemed that he had no relationship with his noble man. In this way, he should have no chance to meet his noble man, and he didn't know when such a life would end.
Li Mi was disappointed, but had to force himself to greet him, "Brother Zaixing, why did you suddenly want to go to Chang'an?"
"Serve for the country and save the people." Li Zaixing said seriously.
Li Mi almost couldn't breathe and coughed while covering her chest.
"Why, Sanlang looks down on me?" Li Zaixing said unhappily.
"No." Li Miqiang smiled and said, "It is understandable to serve the country, but how does it start to save the people? Now that the wise king is in power, the world is peaceful. Who wants you to save it?"
Li Zaixing smiled silently, glanced at Li Mi with his eyes and remembered the words of his master. Last night, the lazy monk fooled Li Mi and returned to the woodshed and told him, "I'm done what I should do. Li Mi will wait in Bailongtan tomorrow. As for whether you can tell him to be your companion, it depends on your ability. I can't say it too clearly, otherwise he would definitely be suspicious. Although that kid is hypocritical, he is not stupid."
Now, it is time for him to fool Li Mi. I guess this is also a difficult problem that the master gave him. If he cannot successfully fool Li Mi, his journey to Chang'an will naturally not go smoothly. The reason is very simple. In addition to knowing the name Chang'an, he is blinded by the world.
"Sanlang, do you really don't understand, or are you lying to me?" Li Zaixing said with a smile, his words a little unhappy.
Li Mi said sincerely: "Brother Zaixing, although we have not known each other for a long time, we have been in love with each other. How could I lie to you?"
"Since that's the case, why do you have to say that the world is peaceful?" Li Zaixing calmed down and said lightly: "It seems that the Tang Dynasty is a prosperous era that is rare in a century. However, prosperity and decline are not easy for all ages. If you are a well-read person, will you not even understand this principle?"
Li Mi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked at Li Zaixing with a strange look. Although he was young, he was not unfamiliar with the court in Chang'an. Of course, he knew that there were big problems in the Tang Dynasty now. However, Li Zaixing was just a little novice monk in Prajna Temple. He had never had Tianzhu Peak and had never read any books. How could he know the hidden dangers of the Tang Dynasty? You must know that the four words "Popularity and Decline" seem easy. It is not a simple matter to see the crisis from the prosperous era. It requires a superlative vision.
Could it be that his master Lacan Master’s teachings?
"Maybe the master saw something and sent his brother down the mountain?"
"Master?" Li Zaixing grinned: "You said that old man Buxiu? He was crazy all day long, and he didn't even know what his surname was. What could he see? By the way, did you see him yesterday?"
"See." Li Miyi was unstoppable and did not want to talk about noble people to Li Zaixing, so he passed by the lightly. He glanced at the sky again and said to himself: "Noon is over now?"
Li Zaixing also looked up and agreed: "It should be about the same."
Li Mi sighed, got up and walked towards Prajna Temple. When Li Zaixing saw it, he shouted: "I said, do you still want to seek immortals and ask? Why not go down the mountain with me to make achievements?"
Li Mi looked back at him and smiled politely: "My brother is so proud. I am beyond my reach and I dare not be with me. I should let you do it yourself."
Li Zaixing sighed: "Okay, I'll go to Chang'an. Unfortunately, a hero like Sanlang only cares about keeping himself clean and watching the rise and fall. It can be seen that the will of heaven is going to destroy the Tang Dynasty, which is not human power. However, even though that is the case, I can't watch the wall. I have to go to the world and do my best to show my heart. I just hope that the gods and Buddhas in the sky will be merciful and bless me with a smooth journey."
After saying that, he carried the big pole and walked forward with great strides.
Li Mi took two steps and savored Li Zaixing's words, and suddenly felt something strange. He turned his head and looked at Li Zaixing who was strideing forward. He felt inexplicably embarrassed. Li Zaixing was just a little novice monk, and he didn't even know which direction Chang'an was in. He had the courage to seek welfare for the people of the world. He was full of knowledge and had the passion of governing the world since he was a child. He knew that the court had deep worries and difficulties, but he was waiting for an illusory nobleman here, which was really worthy of the teachings of the saint.
"Oh--" Li Mi raised his arm and shouted: "Brother Zaixing."
"What are you doing?" Li Zaixing turned his head and called out impatiently, but he felt relieved.
Li Mi ran over and said, "After you go to Chang'an, how do you plan to save the country and the people?"
Li Zaixing said without hesitation: "Of course I am joining the army."
"Job joining the army?" Li Mi hesitated. Li Zaixing was good at martial arts, but it was good to join the army, but what did this have to do with saving the country and the people?
Seeing Li Mi's expression, Li Zaixing sighed and leaned on the big pole and asked, "Li Sanlang, I ask you, where is the key to the rise and fall of the world?"
"What do you think?"
"Can you endure hardship?" Li Zaixing said seriously: "As the saying goes, success comes from diligence, thrift, failure comes from extravagance. If you want to succeed, you must be able to endure hardship, be willing to endure hardship, and not be afraid of hardship, so that you can succeed. Once you are afraid of hardship and unwilling to endure hardship, you will not be far from defeat. In the past, from the emperor to the people, you are willing to endure hardship, so you have today's prosperous times. If the people today are greedy for comfort and are afraid of suffering, they will naturally become prosperous and declining. Where is the most painful? Of course, it is a military camp, so I have to start from the most painful place and naturally join the army."
Li Zaixing said it very simply, but Li Mi suddenly thought of a lot. Success comes from diligence and failure comes from extravagance. Yes, Mencius said that born in distress and death comes from happiness. When Zi was born today, the reason why Zi was willing to endure hardship was because he was willing to endure hardship. Han Xiu was the prime minister and was brave to give advice. The emperor had a little mistake, and it was not enough to say that Han Xiu was the prime minister. The emperor was thin, but the emperor said, "Although my appearance was thin, the world would be fat." It is precisely because of this spirit of being able to endure hardship and being willing to endure hardship that today's prosperous era was achieved. But now, the emperor no longer had the spirit of enduring hardship. He was greedy for comfort, indulged in pleasures of voice, color and pleasure, and even took his wife as a concubine. Isn't all hidden dangers today related to the emperor's luxury?
Although Li Zaixing's words were straightforward, they hit the nail on the head. He said it very reasonably. From this we can see that although he has no knowledge, he has no lack of knowledge. Knowledge can be accumulated through learning, but knowledge is an innate talent that cannot be learned.
Li Mi was moved. This vulgar and novice monk was not as simple as a martial artist. He had extraordinary insights and was a person worth dating. Li Mi pondered for a moment and changed into a passionate tone: "Brother Zai Xing, it is better to follow me to Wei Pavilion first and linger for two days before leaving."
Li Zaixing understood in his heart that Li Mi was a little moved, but he did not make up his mind to communicate with him further. Although this was not what he expected, it was better than the conversation collapsed. He looked at the way out and smiled heartily: "Okay, I'm going to ask Brother Li for advice."
The two looked at each other and walked towards Weige together.
...
In the woods three hundred steps behind them, the lazy monk stood on a huge rock. Looking at the two young people who were leaving together, he raised his thick eyebrows: "I didn't expect this guy to really talk to Li Mi, which surprised me a little."
Beside him was a figure hidden in the veil, looking weak against his tall figure. His voice was so thin that he could not even hear men and women.
"You have been with him for so many years, and you still make such mistakes?"
The lazy monk turned around and glanced at him, and wanted to speak but stopped. He paused and said quietly: "It is not something I am good at to understand human hearts. If you think it is easy, I will leave it to you in the future."
"Stinky monk, are you anxious to leave yourself?" The delicate voice was still in front of you when you said the first sentence, and when you said the second sentence, it was already ten steps away. The last sentence drifted in the wind, a little erratic. "If you really want to give up, don't follow me. I'll wait for you in Chang'an for a month, and I won't wait for you after the deadline."
The lazy monk sighed, muttered to himself, and shook his head.
