Chapter 142 Give Me Another Chance(1/2)
Li Qingcheng played with the wine glass in his hand, without raising his head, "Ignorance?"
A woman said, "Our Mrs. Ruhua invites you to drink. That's your fate. You can't give you an opportunity, but you kid speaks wildly. Do you want to be enemies of our joyful Zen?"
Li Qingcheng said, "Happy Zen? I haven't heard of it."
Zhao Langjiang said in surprise: "Western Region Tantra?"
The woman sneered, "It's not ignorant yet."
Tantric Buddhism advocates that people should not follow the law, worship masters, receive initiations, cultivate themselves to become Buddhas, bow to a hundred thousand heads, and offer 100,000 mandalas, which is different from the Zen teachings of the Central Plains. After Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty destroyed the Buddha, Tantric Buddhism cut off its inheritance in the Central Plains, and the two existing veins are in the Western Regions and the other in Japan.
Hsing Zen Buddhism is one of the branches of Tantric Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism advocated abstinence, which caused a sharp decline in population, which led to the case of Avalokitesvara becoming a beauties and becoming Vinayaga, which is also the source of Hsing Zen Buddhism.
Today, Huanxi Zen, Shinyan Sect and Vajra Sect are ranked as the three major branches of Tantric Buddhism. The practice methods are different, but they all regard the living Buddha Kapa as the supreme.
Not long ago, the Western Region corpse demon disciple Tang Tang, killed by Zhao Langjiang, still has some connection with Tantric Buddhism.
Speaking of Mrs. Ruhua, she is one of the three great bodhisattvas of Kaba Living Buddha. This girl is ugly, but she is gifted and deeply trusted by Kaba Living Buddha. This time she came to the Central Plains, intending to find six pairs of men and women with "good fate" as cauldrons to practice joyful Zen. Today, she drank in a restaurant. When she saw Li Qingcheng, she became interested and immediately came forward to chat with her, but she unexpectedly encountered a nail.
Li Qingcheng smiled, "It turns out to be a master, it's such a rude."
Mrs. Ruhua laughed and made the restaurant tremble. The wrinkles on her face squeezed, and the powder she applied fell down.
Other diners were unclear, so some people shouted that the earthquake had occurred, and everyone ran out one after another.
Mrs. Ruhua looked at Li Qingcheng carefully and felt more and more that this person was the perfect match for practicing Joy Zen. She was happy and said, "Look at your dressing, you should be working in the Tang Mansion, right?"
Li and Zhao were still wearing the clothes of Tang Mansion servants, and did not deny it and nodded.
"How can you enjoy the joy of the world with others? Why not rely on others and be servants? Why not return to the Western Regions Tantra with me? This palace allows you to enjoy the glory and wealth in the second half of your life and be respected by thousands of people. How about it?"
Li Qingcheng shook his head and said, "No."
Mrs. Ruhua said again, "Then I teach you how to enjoy Zen, both men and women practice, experience all the joy of fish and water, and can maintain your beauty and maintain your youth forever, how about?"
Li Qingcheng looked up at her, a gust of wind blew, and the alcohol surged up. He lay on the table and vomited wildly. After a long time, he got up, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I have a good idea, but I can't do it."
Zhao Langjiang said, "Madam Ruhua, what kind of flower is it? It's not red water, right?"
"Red Polygonum?"
"It's the dogtail flower."
Hearing Zhao Langjiang teased his wife, the three women drew their weapons, "Rareless, if you don't take your life today, I'm happy with Zen, and I don't have to hang out in the Central Plains."
"It seems that you are not in the Central Plains."
Mrs. Ruhua stopped her and said, "Don't be rude." She squeezed out a smile and said, "Since the young master is unintentional, we will not prevent you from drinking."
Li Qingcheng said, "It's time for us to go back."
After saying that, the two of them checked the bill and left the restaurant.
Mrs. Ruhua whispered, "There are so many people here. Follow these two people, find out their details and find an opportunity to start."
The two of them were slightly drunk and not far away. Zhao Langjiang said, "We are being targeted."
Li Qingcheng smiled and said, "Half-step through the Xiangjing Realm is indeed different."
"How come, are you jealous?"
Li Qingcheng said proudly, "If I want to break the realm, at any time. But now my sword heart is not pure, even if I break the realm, I can't be able to achieve the same sword as the same person. It would be better to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the essence in the Zhixuan Realm and wait for a suitable opportunity."
Zhao Langjiang sighed, "When you say that, I think Lao Xiao is a little pitiful."
Li Qingcheng said, "Everyone has his own opportunity. In one path of martial arts, there are thousands of methods of practice. If you cannot open the acupoints and practice internal strength, it does not mean that you cannot peek into the supreme martial arts. Buddhism cultivates the mind, emphasizes seeing the mind and understanding the nature, and suddenly becoming a Buddha. That joyful Zen Buddhism also cultivates both men and women to become a Buddha. As for the demon sect, tempering the body and breaking through the void, there are precedents. Hey, they are here."
The two passed by Kuanzhai Alley, and the two happy Zen women were left without anyone around. They suddenly stepped forward two steps, raised their hands, and a red mist enveloped them.
Zhao Langjiang and Li Qingcheng quickly stepped back, punched each other one, and sighed, "What a pity, why can't you do it? You have to learn these evil things from heretics."
The two of them did not stay and walked straight through the alley and returned to the Tang Mansion.
...
Tang Mansion.
The news that Yuwen Shuang, the daughter of Yuwen Tianlu, spread like wildfire at the Tang Sect in the middle of Shu. Throughout the afternoon, there were endless people coming to visit the Tang Mansion. Even the prefect and the garrison visited the mansion in person.
Governor Yuwen is in Jingji, and they are not qualified to meet him. After finally seizing an opportunity to flatter, who would miss it?
The entire Tang Mansion was busy. In less than two hours, gifts were piled up in the Tang Mansion. Miss Yuwen was not polite and said leisurely, "There are too many gifts and it is hard to get them." Everyone is a person who is very sensible. All the gifts were replaced with silver notes. The lady accepted them all as the order and ordered them to record them in the book.
That's not all. The young lady actually held a banquet to entertain everyone in the Tang Mansion. When everyone heard this, it was amazing. She couldn't seize the opportunity and could not watch it slip away. Several wealthy gentry and retired officials in Shuzhong City donated generously. In the evening, the registered silver reached 300,000 taels.
When Xiao Jinyan returned to the Servant Hospital, someone had already sent him healing medicine. At this time, everyone had already known the identities of the three. One was the junior brother of Dean Deng Wen, the world's number one secret agency, the third young master of the Li family in Jinling, and the other was the wolf of Hengduan Mountain, famous in the western frontier. Those servants went from being praised by the previous ones to stay away from him.
Xiao Jinyan thought that his identity was exposed and he had to find an opportunity to slip away. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the house, he was stopped. "The old man has an explanation and invites three to attend the dinner tonight."
Xiao Jinyan said, "There are too many people, so we won't join in the fun."
The man stammered, "Tang...Xiao Hero, we are in a difficult situation."
Zhao Langjiang agreed happily, and there was food and drink, but the fool would not go.
The night banquet was arranged in the Tingfeng Tower in the backyard. In addition to the main core members of the Tang family, the prefect of Chengdu, the garrison, the dignitaries in the city, and the squire who gave huge sums of money were also invited. There were also the heads and elders of several major sects who participated in the competition today. Although the number of people was not as good as the banquet building last night, three seats were also placed.
The three of them came to Tingfeng Tower, and the third supervisor Han Jixiang came to the front, "Three brothers, the villain did not know that the three identities were respected, so they offended them so much, so please don't mind."
Xiao Jinyan didn't say anything, but Zhao Langjiang said, "Yes, I cleaned more than a dozen toilets a day, and if it were me, I wouldn't mind."
Han Jixiang's old face turned red, "This and that, I did something wrong. You know, it's the most difficult thing for these servants to discipline. The mansion has the rules of the mansion, and I also follow the rules. Besides, you have signed a contract with the Tang mansion, right?"
Zhao Langjiang said unhappily, "Okay, go and do whatever you should do."
Han Jixiang said, "Xiao Daxia, Li Daxia, the old man invited you to the table, but the seats were not enough. Zhao Daxia, I can only give you a grievance and go to the next table for a meal."
Zhao Laijiang only needs food, but he doesn't care.
Xiao Jinyan said, "Since the seats are tight, Li Qingcheng and I will sit at this table."
Han Jixiang said repeatedly, "That won't work, the old man personally ordered it."
On the top of the table, in addition to Tang Shouli, Tang Zhengfeng and Tang Zhenghua, Yuwen Shuang was taken care of as a woman, and he specially asked Tang Xiqiu to accompany him. Then there was the prefect, the two fourth-rank officials, Yuwen Shuang's master and servant, as well as Xiao, Li, and Tang Shouli specially arranged Xiao Jinyan next to Yuwen Shuang.
Xiao and Li insisted that Han Jixiang had no choice but to go to Tang Zhengfeng to report. As soon as the three of them sat down, they heard someone say, "Brother Wei, I always hear that the Tang Mansion is extremely strict. How can the three servants be able to have a seat with us?"
The speaker was a rich gentry in the city, whose surname was Chang Yan, and the other was Wei Bing, who was a famous Juren. They were qualified to attend the dinner by giving Yu Wenshuang 20,000 taels of silver. They did not know the three of them, and saw three people wearing the clothes of the Tang Mansion sitting beside them, with displeasure on their faces.
Wei Bing said, "We are either rich or noble on this table. At least we have received more than 100,000 taels of silver. How do you know that these three are not hidden wealthy gentry? Haha!"
Having said that, the tone was obviously teasing.
Chang Yan asked, “How much money have you donated?”
Xiao Jinyan said strangely, "It's not that the Tang Mansion treats guests, why do you have to pay for dinner?"
Everyone laughed loudly during the meal.
Chang Yan said: "Miss Yuwen was ordered to patrol the border. As the people of the Ming Dynasty, we contributed money and efforts to the Western Army. Each of us donated huge sums of money to attend the dinner. You three won't be eating and drinking, right?"
Zhao Langjiang asked, “How many have you donated?”
"Twenty thousand taels!"
Li Qingcheng nodded, "What a huge sum of money."
"I heard that your servants in the Tang Mansion are well treated, and they are a lot of money a month, right?"
Li Qingcheng said, "Zhaqi Zashuang said again, "Don't drink those who don't donate money." He then put down his wine glass.
After three cups, everyone started talking.
Chang Yan asked, "Mr. Li, your Li family runs a few martial arts halls and occupies the house and walks on the ground. I wonder how many you donated this time?"
Mr. Li smiled slightly and stretched out five fingers, "Five hundred taels!"
"It's only five hundred taels? It doesn't match your identity."
Mr. Li smiled and said, "Five hundred taels were donated to the Western Army, and 10,000 taels were bought separately for the young lady's rouge and water powder. The young lady was very happy."
Wei Bing also said, "Why didn't I expect it? It seems that there is a master behind Mr. Li to give me some advice."
Mr. Li smiled but said nothing.
Xiao Jinyan sneered, "Shapeful."
Mr. Li said angrily, "What did you say?"
Xiao Jinyan said nothing.
Mr. Li said in a deep voice, "Boy, you are dead for what you said just now!"
Xiao Jinyan asked, "Do you want to fight?"
Wei Bing suddenly said, "Miss Yuwen is here."
While talking, Yu Wenshuang walked over and said, "Young Master Li."
Mr. Li was happy when he heard this. It seemed that this young lady was interested in him. Just as he was about to respond, he heard Yu Wenshuang say, "I have long admired Mr. Li San of Jinling, and I have never been able to visit him. When I see you today, I will follow my long-cherished wish and I'm lucky to meet you!"
Li Qingcheng smiled, "Hello Miss."
He knew that Yu Wenshuang was not here for him, so he didn't say much, so he raised his glass and drank it all.
