Chapter 553

In late autumn, the weather is getting colder, and the servant girls and servants in Chu's house have added clothes.

Chu Feng, as the master, would not treat them badly. He asked Lao Zheng, the housekeeper, to give everyone a subsidy. To this end, his reputation in people's hearts soared a lot.

Early in the morning, just before dawn, Xiaocui brought a basin of hot water into the room. In front of my sight, I saw the young master sitting on the futon and meditating with his eyes closed.

"Huh?"

Chu Feng opened his eyes with a trace of surprise. As a close maid, Xiaocui is naturally allowed to enter his room. But also at a specific time, it has never been so early as today.

"Childe is awake." Xiaocui looks happy. She seems to see the doubt in each other's eyes and smiles,

"Guess what day it is today?"

"Today?" Chu Feng was stunned. He didn't remember for a moment, but at this time, he suddenly noticed the bun on Xiaocui's head, where a pink chrysanthemum was inserted.

"It's the Double Ninth Festival."

He reacted instantly and smiled back.

"Hee hee, I know I can't hide it from you for too long." Xiaocui put down the copper basin and then said,

"There are many chrysanthemums in the back garden. The family sisters and even the servants ran to see them, and I picked one."

"Yes, it's beautiful."

"Thank you for your praise."

Xiaocui immediately smiled, as if she had eaten honey.

"Are you going out today?"

"Why do you ask?" he washed his face and took the handkerchief from the other party.

"Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and the whole Bianliang city is very lively." it seems that Xiaocui can't help but look forward to the grand occasion outside.

"Then tell me, what are the lively and interesting things?"

"It's mainly about going out to play, traveling with family or friends, climbing high and looking far, and enjoying autumn chrysanthemums." he paused and then said,

"Moreover, all the shops outside today will be carefully prepared and grandly decorated. Even those who sell food will launch all kinds of delicious food to welcome the arrival of the Double Ninth Festival."

"That's really lively." Chu Feng nodded,

"Later, you go to housekeeper Zheng and take out some snacks from the ice room and send them to everyone in the house. Quan should be a holiday gift."

"Thank you, childe."

Xiaocui is glad to bow down again. Then she hurried out with a copper basin. She wants to pass the news out at the first time to make the sisters happy.

Time passed quickly, and it was morning.

Chu Feng has been staying in the mansion and has no plan to go out for an outing. Of course, in addition, he was also thinking about another thing, a task entrusted to Yun huan'er.

"A few days later, with the influence of Yun huan'er, that thing should have begun to ferment?"

Just thinking, a message came from the front yard that a guest was visiting.

"Brother Chu, come and see who I've brought?" Liu Shen laughed loudly at the door of the hall. Behind him stood two strange faces.

Chu Feng quickly turned in his mind and soon recognized one of them. However, the remaining scholar, who was slim and beautiful, had no memory.

"Eh?"

Chu Feng was stunned for a moment and immediately reflected that he was a scholar. It was clear that he was a little girl dressed up as a man. No wonder he came in quietly, with a slightly shy appearance.

"Wenyang, don't you introduce it?"

"Ha ha, I know I can't hide brother Chu's eyes." naturally, the speaker is another man. He is handsome and has a great bearing, but he is much better than Liu Shen. This one is also his classmate. He once studied together in college middle school.

"Brother Chu, forgive me. This one is the younger sister of the house. The small character is Ruolan. He is spoiled at home, so he is quite lawless. I heard that he wants to travel, so he has to come with him."

"Lawless, it doesn't look like at all." Chu Feng glanced at the girl with low eyebrows and no language again. He couldn't help but have no language in his heart, but he really looked out of sight. After a pause, he suddenly asked,

"What did Wen Yang say about traveling?"

"Brother Chu, you're not stupid to read. Today is the Double Ninth Festival. It's a good time to climb high and look far and enjoy chrysanthemums. How can you stay in the house?" Liu Shen said first,

"We have made an appointment before. If we go on a trip together today, we will send brother Chu to you."

"Yes, not only us, but also Yuanli and Xingchen have gathered together and are waiting for you, brother Chu."

All the people mentioned in the second population are classmates and friends from Hangzhou. Chu Feng knows them. So, it's hard to shirk.

"Well, just wait a moment, two virtuous brothers. I'll explain it and set out together later."

……

The streets were full of people and tourists. Everywhere was filled with a happy atmosphere. Several people's vehicles could not move in the road. As a last resort, the four abandoned the carriage directly, accompanied each other and went in a certain direction.

"Where are they waiting for Yuanli?"

"There is a Lion Club in Kaibao Temple today. They are all waiting there. Later, we will go all the way north to Cangwang temple..."

Liu Shen briefly introduced today's process. Chu Feng nodded and didn't say much. He just kept observing the busy crowd nearby.

As the only girl, Lu Ruolan is naturally protected by the three people in the center. At this time, she seemed to be unable to bear the excitement in her heart, vaguely restored her nature, and a pair of crystal eyes scanned back and forth in the nearby streets.

However, when his eyes inadvertently contacted Chu Feng, he dodged like an electric shock, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

Chu Feng naturally found something strange about the other party and immediately smiled. This little girl's shyness of being peeped into her heart has a different style.

The Northern Song Dynasty worshipped Taoism, but Buddhism also flourished. For example, there are countless Buddhist temples in Bianliang city. It was not until Zhao Ji ascended the throne and favored Taoists that Buddhism was suppressed.

At this time, it was still in the second year of Yuanfu and zhe Zong was still in power. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism was not so fierce. Therefore, when the four people passed through the crowd and came near Kaibao temple, they were all occupied by endless people and tourists.

"I heard early that on the Double Ninth Festival every year, eminent Buddhist monks would ride stone lions to give lectures. Many believers and tourists came to listen. Today, I saw it, and it really deserved its reputation."

Liu Shen wiped his forehead. Here he was the fattest. After such a short journey, he was panting and his face was sweating.

"Brother, it's more lively here than Hangzhou." Lu Xiaomei suddenly approached and whispered.

"Bianliang is the capital city, and Hangzhou can't compare." Lu Wenyang nodded and said again,

"However, there is no mountain in Bianliang. We can't climb today. We have to play and enjoy flowers. It's a pity."

"Shall we go in? I want to pay homage to the Buddha."

"This..."

Lu Wenyang looked at the dense crowd ahead and couldn't help hesitating. There are too many people. I can't get in for a while. Even if I get in, I'm afraid I can't get in for a long time.

"Even today, it's not too late to come back when there are few people."

"Oh, all right."

Seeing that her brother disagreed, Lu Xiaomei nodded, but did not insist. Probably, she also felt that today's situation was somewhat inappropriate.

Hearing the whispers of Lu's brothers and sisters, Chu Feng didn't notice. At this time, his mind was all in the far away Kaibao temple, especially a tall pagoda standing inside, majestic and magnificent.

Kaibao temple is one of the four Royal temples in the Northern Song Dynasty, with a large natural scale. In particular, the pagoda, in which Ashoka's relic is enshrined, is a genuine Buddhist treasure.

Of course, Chu Feng was not interested in relic objects. He just thought that he should find a suitable time to explore the truth and deficiency. After all, as one of the four Royal temples, it must have a deep foundation. Maybe there is something hidden.

Just now, he had scanned it with divine consciousness. As a result, there was no other harvest except that there was a faint spiritual force at the bottom of the tower.

"Spiritual power should be relic."

At this time, in Kaibao temple, an old monk guarding the pagoda suddenly changed his face. His turbid eyes suddenly looked cold and stared at the direction outside the pagoda.

Chu Feng's eyes flashed a trace of disdain, but his divine consciousness took back without any action.

"It's Yuanli. They're right ahead. Brother Chu and brother Lu, let's go quickly." suddenly, Liu Shen suddenly found the target and warned loudly.

Chu Feng put away his mind, and even if he saw a place, there were some familiar faces waiting there. Without delay, walk forward with each other.

"Have you seen brother Feiyun..."

"Wen Yang's virtuous brother..."

"Xing Chen's virtuous brother..."

"Yuan Li, long time no see..."

"Weijin, you are getting fatter and fatter. Pay attention to your body..."

All of them are college students. Naturally, they don't have much politeness when they meet, and their words are more casual.

"Later, the Zen master in the temple will talk about things. Are we going to see it?"

"We are all scholars, saints and disciples. We don't talk about strange forces and confused gods. Why should we listen to such bewitching words."

The speaker is Zheng Xingchen, born in an aristocratic family in Hangzhou. This man is straightforward and can never hide his words. It seems that such words of disgust with Buddhism have been said many times.

No one saw that Lu's little sister, standing on edge, suddenly frowned, but she didn't say anything.

At this time, there were not only a few of them nearby, but also many ordinary people. Someone suddenly looked ugly and glared at them.

Chu Feng's eyes flickered slightly, but he smiled directly:

"Xingchen's virtuous younger brother is still like this. Let's go directly to Cangwang temple. As one of the ancestors of China, we need to worship."

"What brother Feiyun said is true. I heard that the autumn chrysanthemums there are very prosperous this year. I'm going to watch them." Lu Wenyang interrupted, breaking the rigid atmosphere. Since they had no opinion, they immediately headed north.

"It's rude of these people to talk about the Buddha in front of the temple..."

"The Buddha must have heard it long ago, but it's not time. In the future, there will always be retribution."

“……”

Naturally, most of the people who can come here are believers of Buddhism. When a few people leave, their figure gradually disappears and they immediately talk about it.

……

Cangjie, also known as Cang Wang and Cang Sheng, once created words with the ancient times. He is one of the ancestors of mankind. In Taoism, the God of words is also respected.

Cangwang temple is the temple dedicated to Cangjie.

Cangwang temple at this time is a famous scenic spot, especially during the Double Ninth Festival. Many people came here to worship and play.

Of course, ordinary people are attracted by temples and Taoist temples, and few come here. Therefore, it has become the first choice for scholars and scholars, and even some boudoir beauties.

When Chu Feng and his party arrived here, all they saw were colorful carriages of different sizes, with domestic servants waiting nearby. It can be seen that the level of people visiting here is obviously a higher level.

"Wenzu temple is ahead. I'll worship it first and watch the chrysanthemums later..."

Liu Shen said that everyone had no opinion and went to the front. As for the servants and carriages that followed, they could only stay in the outside area like other tourists.

The journey was not long. Soon, an ancient temple appeared in sight. It was Cangwang temple. At this time, the temple door was wide open and many pedestrians came in and out. Nevertheless, there was not much noise. It was very quiet.

Several people also adjusted their clothes, looked solemn and walked towards the door one after another.

In ancient times, human beings were in ignorance. Cangjie watched the stars, observed the footprints of birds and animals, and created human characters with them. When the word was written, it rained and the ghost cried at night. Since then, it has laid the foundation of human civilization.

Such a holy one should be worshipped by all future generations and grandchildren forever. However, Chu Feng sighed inexplicably at the thought of the overcrowding of the major temples in the inner city.

The statues in the temple, the tomb of King Cang, the writing platform, and so on have all gone through the process, which has taken a long time. In line with the idea of worshipping Chinese ancestors, they naturally have no impatience.

When they got outside, they were relieved and recovered their original look. However, Chu Feng was silent, as if he had something on his mind.

In the process of worship just now, the statue of Cang Wang suddenly appeared a blue brilliance and disappeared into its sea of knowledge.

Chu Feng observed for a long time. The green light was hazy and could not see clearly. He stayed in his knowledge of the sea without any movement, and he didn't know what it was? Therefore, there will be some doubts.

The danger is not great. There are reincarnation beads in his knowledge of the sea. There is no existence in this world that can hurt his yuan God. Now suddenly into a blue light, did not cause the rejection of samsara beads, enough to see that it is not a bad thing.

"Brother Chu, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, an inquiry suddenly came into his ears, which suddenly interrupted Chu Feng's meditation. Looking around, it was Lu Wenyang. Obviously, I found myself different, so I asked.

"No problem, Chu just thought of something else."

"That's good." Lu Wenyang nodded. He looked a little hesitant, as if he had something to say. At this time, he suddenly heard Liu Shen speak first,

"In recent days, a strange thing happened in Bianliang City, which is related to brother Chu. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

"What's the matter? Talk about it quickly?" Liu Shen was so secretive that naturally everyone was curious and asked one after another.

"The Lord of yunhuan Pavilion must be familiar to everyone?"

"Er..." the crowd couldn't help but be stunned. What did they do to mention the brothel? However, someone suddenly thought of something and interposed,

"But what I want to say is about the painting of flying immortals?"

"Eh, brother Yuanli knows about it?"

"I'm obsessed with the painting of red and green. Naturally, I'll pay more attention to it. I heard that this painting was made by a Taoist with the head of cloud line as the material. Its attainments are very deep and even beyond the understanding of ordinary people. Many people once said that after watching the painting, the spirit is insignificant, just like climbing into a fairyland. It's wonderful." Gu Yuanli paused for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, Asked some uncertain,

"Brother Chu, the Taoist's name is immortal Feiyun. It coincides with your words. Is it difficult..."
