After getting to know each other for a period of time, Ji Yuan knew that his appearance should only be spread among the upper echelons of Dazhen Shinto.
It is rumored among some high-ranking city gods and the land, or the river gods and lake gods who are closer to the human world may also know about it. Others who are more well-informed at most know that there is a person hidden in Dazhen. The power that can “shoot out the sword and overthrow the sky”.
In fact, the longer I live here and the more I learn about it, the more Ji Yuan understands the relationship between the various paths in the spiritual world. It is simple to say, but also extremely complex. Although there is a certain degree of closeness and distance between them, However, the systems do not interfere with each other and do not belong to each other. It feels like they are practicing independently under the premise of a certain subtle tacit understanding.
Generally speaking, the spiritual world is relatively unorganized. Even the Chenghuangs and others who share the Shinto and adhere to the general trend of humanity are actually not affiliated with each other.
However, this water and land ceremony organized by Emperor Yuande of Dazhen against all objections, in addition to the gathering of “elites and celebrities” on the surface of Dazhen, privately, it is also relatively rare to bring together some of the people in Dazhen territory. Traditional cultivation forces were attracted to gather together, such as the Immortal Mansion represented by Yuhuai Mountain, the Zhengxiu Demon Clan represented by Long Jun, and the gods from various places represented by Gyeonggi Mansion.
Regardless of what happened in Tianji Pavilion, Dazhen is still the place where everyone has practiced cultivation for a long time. The influence of human nature is too complex and can easily make the spiritual platform unclean, but there is no room for evil heretics to cause trouble. Make it rain.
Ji Yuanze happens to be the link that maintains the relationship. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the leader. Based on Mr. Ji Da’s current prestige in the upper echelons of the Dazhen cultivation world, he is the only one who has the ability to convince all parties. In other words, Mr. Ji Da is the only one who can convince all parties. , is the only one who dares and can get Long Jun to cooperate.
For this matter, Ji Yuan was not idle at all for more than a month after leaving Master Yin’s residence. Compared with the previous Buddhist department, he was busier and more tired.
As the location where the Water and Land Dharma Conference is held, Gyeonggi Prefecture is naturally the viewing platform in Ji Yuan’s heart. In the end, he returned to Gyeonggi Prefecture early, but at least before the Dharma Conference starts, it will definitely be relatively peaceful here. After all, It also takes time for “experts” to come over.
On this day, the early morning sun cleared away the clouds and mist, and Ji Yuan was walking in the city with one hand on his back and the other holding a bamboo slip.
“Come on, can you continue?” “Sir, drink tea, sir, drink tea.”
“Give Mr. a stack of bean paste cakes and record them in my account.”
“Okay~~~”
……
The sound from the nearby teahouse made Ji Yuan slow down. It must be someone telling a story.
“Pa~”
The sound of waking wood means that the storyteller has entered the state.
“As mentioned in the last chapter, General Huang repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and was finally conferred the position of general by the emperor. He was only thirty-four years old… What followed was the battle in which General Huang became famous all over the world, known in history as the ‘War’ Dongshan’! ”
Hearing this, Ji Yuan stopped. He remembered that he had also listened to “The Biography of General Huang” in a teahouse in Juntianfu, Yizhou. He happened to listen to the first half of it that time, and then I didn’t listen to the first half of it because I had something else to do. Today I happened to hear someone preparing to talk about the second half, which seemed quite fateful.
As a result, Ji Yuan changed his direction and entered the teahouse.
When the talent arrived at the door, Dr. Tea came to greet him warmly.
“Hey, sir, please come in quickly. Welcome to our Qingye Building. Do you want to go to the private room upstairs or…”
Ji Yuan said “Shhh…” and pointed to the storyteller’s table over there.
“Just find an empty table downstairs and I’ll listen to the book.”
“Hey, hey, OK, sir, come with me!”
Dr. Cha also subconsciously lowered his voice, nodded and bent down to invite him, and then led the way. Finally, he led Ji Yuan to a clean table by a window next to the door, and wiped the table with a rag.
A plate of rice cakes, a plate of bean paste cakes, a plate of melon seeds and a plate of preserved apricots, plus a pot of good tea, are what Ji Yuan ordered. He sat there leisurely and listened to the voice of the storyteller over there. Telling stories with great emotion.
“Hey! It’s nice here. You can smell the aroma of vegetables on both sides and see pedestrians from all sides.”
A slightly playful old voice came from outside. Just hearing the voice attracted Ji Yuan’s attention from listening to the story. Then he saw two beggars, an old man and a young man, sitting down in the opposite corner. , the little beggar has already set up a broken pottery bowl.
“Grandpa Lu, there seems to be a blind man watching us over there at the teahouse…”
Hearing this, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but smile, and then he saw the old beggar looking sideways. When their eyes met, Ji Yuan clearly saw that the old beggar was stunned for a moment.
While the old beggar was muttering, Ji Yuan also smiled and nodded at him.
Under this situation, the old beggar also understood that the other party had obviously figured out his base.
The little beggar looked at the old beggar with this rare expression, and then looked at Mr. Cangmu in the direction of the teahouse.
“Grandpa Lu… do you know him?”
“I don’t know…but I will know you soon.”
Sure enough, Ji Yuan called Dr. Cha over, then said a few words and put down a piece of broken silver. He waited for Dr. Tea to nod before standing up.
However, Ji Yuan didn’t think about inviting the two beggars into Qingye Building. Back then, his appearance was a little sloppy, and even entering the restaurant would affect his business. The two outside were much more exaggerated than he was back then.
So Ji Yuan put the teapot, snack plates and other items on his table on a bench, then held the bench with his right hand, lifted another bench with his left hand, and walked out of the teahouse steadily. Arrived at the opposite corner.
When they walked past, the two beggars, an old one and a small one, were all looking at Ji Yuan. However, the old one’s focus was on Ji Yuan himself, while the younger one’s focus had shifted to the bench on his right hand. Said it was on pastries.
Ji Yuan first placed the bench with snacks, teapots, cups and other items steadily, then put down the bench in his left hand, and then freed his hand to greet the old and young beggars.
“I would like to say hello to these two guests from afar. If you don’t mind, let’s have tea together.”
Ji Yuan pointed to the empty stool as he spoke, and then added something.
“You can just pick it up yourself, the bill has already been paid.”
The little beggar immediately looked at the old beggar with expectant eyes. The latter scratched his neck and stood up, and also raised his hand to Ji Yuan in an unceremonious manner.
“My name is Lu Niansheng, and this child’s name is Lu Xiaoyou.”
Ji Yuan was surprised.
“Your grandson?”
“Hahaha… This kid had a name before, so I put “lu” in front of his name.”
While talking, the old beggar patted his butt, took a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, then sat on the bench and said to the little beggar.
“Eat.”
“Okay!”
The little beggar cheered, looked at Ji Yuan and gave him a much more standard salute than the old beggar, then sat astride the corner of another stool and stuffed several pieces of pastry into his mouth.
The old beggar’s slap on the **** raised a cloud of dust, but Ji Yuan didn’t take it seriously. He sat directly next to the old beggar, occupying the remaining half of the bench. Then he turned over the three tea cups on the tray and lifted the teapot. Pour three cups in sequence.
The first cup was given to the little beggar with his mouth full of pastries.
“Stop choking.”
“Uh…uh oh, oh, that’s it…”
The little beggar held the tea cup with both hands, swallowed a mouthful of pastries, filled his mouth with tea, and put the rest in his mouth before finally saying “thank you.”
When the old beggar saw the mud floating near the big gentleman, the dust actually slid down on its own. His eyes opened slightly, and then he picked up the rest of the difference in the plate as if he had the same plan. cup of tea.
“I thought that the so-called Water and Land Dharma Assembly would be attended only by monsters and monsters, but unexpectedly, there were actually masters present.”
This old beggar is definitely not from Yuhuai Mountain, Ji Yuan is sure of this, and his curiosity is not concealed in his words.
The old beggar also took a big sip of tea, squinted his eyes and tasted it, and nodded slightly at Ji Yuan’s words.
“What the gentleman said, the old beggar also feels the same way!”
Similarly, the old beggar also knew that Ji Yuan must be a human being, but he was definitely not a monk from Yuhuai Mountain. This Mr. Ji did not have the more or less “noble spirit” of ordinary monks.
“So the old gentleman is indeed here to participate in the Water and Land Dharma Ceremony?”
Ji Yuan looked at the beggar. He also didn’t reveal any magical light. If his Dharma Eyes hadn’t been able to see the hidden Tao Yuan flowing around him, it would have been easy for him to miss it.
“So Mr. Ji is not here to attend the Dharma conference?”
The old beggar also looked at Ji Yuan.
“Of course I’m not.”
Seeing that the old beggar didn’t reveal anything, Ji Yuan replied and drank tea by himself, listening attentively to the wonderful narration of the storyteller in the teahouse. Now was the wonderful moment. When the old beggar still wanted to talk, Ji Yuan subconsciously He raised his left hand to stop him.
When the crucial battle between General Huang and Dongshan came to an end, Ji Yuan drank the tea in the cup, picked up the teapot and refilled the cup for himself and the old beggar.
While Ji Yuan was listening to the book, the old beggar kept observing him carefully. He found that this man was not pretending, but actually listened with great interest. He couldn’t help but become even more curious about Ji Yuan. .
“Mr. Ji is also interested in this secular story?”
Ji Yuan smiled.
“All kinds of things in the world of mortals are in it, full of interest and wonderful.”
It sounds incomprehensible, but it’s actually interesting to listen to when you’re bored.
The little beggar was eating cakes while listening to the two people talking. Although many of them were confused, they ate happily and felt sweet in their hearts. Ji Yuan and the old beggar chatted with each other, even though they were both on land and water. Most of the topics in the Dharma conference did not mention anything about demons and ghosts.
Both parties understand that the other party is a person who practices the right path, and his practice is definitely not low. It is fate to meet by chance at this moment. It feels like meeting each other without asking about coming and going, and chatting without disturbing the peace.
Many of the individual tea patrons in the direction of the tea house, the always enthusiastic Tea Doctor, and some passers-by on the street would subconsciously pay attention to this strange group of people. It was really too conspicuous and special.
Especially when the dirty old beggar and the gentle Ji Yuan were sitting on the same stool, they seemed surprisingly harmonious. One held a cup and the other held a cup, and the moment they drank tea and chatted, they looked completely natural.
The shopkeeper of Qingye Building also looked at the other side through the door, thinking in his heart.
‘The Holy One has announced to the world that there will be a Water and Land Dharma Conference. It seems that there are really many experts gathering…’
