    With that said, Zhao Ran was about to get up.  Of course he was just making a gesture, but he really wanted to hear it.

    As soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Mingjue and sat down again.  Mingjue said: "Today we have a banquet with the Chengdong family, how can we drive away the host and guest? It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. These are just family words. As Senior Brother Xingzhen said, the Chengdong family will just forget about it."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT out of the

    Zhao Ran listened calmly with a smile, but his heart skipped a beat, and the tea cup in his hand shook slightly!

    ??

    Mingjue said: "I checked the files. Before Master Xu Gu broke through the realm, the Imperial City Secretary invited him to give lectures on Buddhism."

    Xingzhen smiled and said, "This is also an unsubstantiated statement. Just listen to it as a story."

    Mingjue also smiled: "It was originally a story. But I always feel that Master Xu Gu is very interesting. He is by no means as simple as his resume on the surface, otherwise he would not have become the elder of the West Hall inexplicably."

    As we talked, the dishes from Baoen Temple were also served one after another. In addition to vegetables, there were also various beans, especially vegetarian fish made of tofu, vegetarian duck, etc., which not only looked beautiful, but also tasted excellent.  , it is indeed well-deserved.

    In this world, Buddhism does not prohibit eating meat and fish. The Xia Kingdom is fine, but the weather and ground in Tubo are freezing and extremely cold. The monks who have just entered the practice cannot bear it without eating meat and fish.  Only those schools with extremely strict disciplines have similar prohibitions.

    But since there is such a gimmick, Baoen Temple happens to be doing an excellent job in vegetarian food, so it has gradually become a tourist attraction for everyone.

    After tasting the vegetarian food at Baoen Temple, he removed the bowl and brewed the fragrant tea again. Xingzhen opened his mouth and said to Zhao Ran: "Cheng Donor, last time I got a painting of a mountain guest from the benefactor. When I returned to Tianlong  After the hospital, I went to enjoy the play with Junior Brother Mingjue, and Junior Brother Mingjue was very happy"

    Zhao Ran nodded and said: "Next time if I have a chance, I will go to Ming Dynasty with someone to see if I can ask for a calligraphy scroll from the mountain travelers and give it to Master Mingjue."

    Xingzhen nodded and said: "The reason for inviting the donor this time is not for the calligraphy of the mountain guest. My junior brother has been very fond of calligraphy all his life, and he is obsessed with it. From the perspective of a poor monk, he can actually write very well.  Cheng Donor is the one who collects everyone here. I invite you to come out today because I want to ask Cheng Donor to identify and give you some advice."

    So, Zhao Ran understood instantly and immediately laughed: "What a good thing, come on, I am lucky to be able to see the calligraphy of the eminent monk today!"

    Mingjue said a few words of modesty, then took out a few calligraphy scrolls from his sleeves. These sleeves must be storage instruments. Zhao Ran pretended to be surprised and said a few words of envy, and then spread out the scrolls on the table to examine them.

    When it comes to calligraphy, Zhao Ran is an expert. Although he was not worth mentioning in the world before traveling, here, he has become a top celebrity with his unique and novel calligraphy innovations.  Of course, his current identity cannot be exposed, but it does not affect his ability to judge from a perspective beyond the world.

    "The three paintings are all in regular script, but they are three poems. Zhao Ran has never read them. He doesn't know who wrote them. He guessed that they were written by Monk Mingjue himself. But he didn't dare to speak freely, so as not to show his cowardice, so he just appreciated the calligraphy.

    When he saw it, Zhao Ran was slightly surprised, it was indeed a good word!

    Under the expectant gazes of Xingzhen and Mingjue, Zhao Ran pondered for a moment and said: "It comes from the sky and goes from the sky. It is really a good word. It has the true meaning of "empty" in the Buddha The word "Master Mingjue" has the same meaning as "Master Mingjue".  Zen Master Tang Shiyong is also comparable."

    Mingjue¡¯s face suddenly glowed with joy and he humbly said: ¡°It¡¯s an honor to be a benefactor.¡±

    Xingzhen praised: "Benefactor Cheng really has a good eye. This junior monk, the poor monk, has been trained by the two kings since he was a child, and the one he admires the most is Zen Master Yong."

    Zhao Ran said: "So it turns out that we have won three of them. Cheng has a merciless request, I don't know whether to say it or not."

    Xing Zhendao: "If the donor has something to say, just say it and you don't have to tell anyone."

    Zhao Ran nodded: "Can Master Mingjue give up on these three calligraphy paintings? Jinbo Auction House will hold the sixth autumn calligraphy and painting auction in two days, but unfortunately there is no highlight work. Cheng wants to buy these three paintings.  Having the works on stage can also add color to the auction.¡±

    How could Xingzhen and Mingjue be unhappy?  The two of them invited Zhao Ran out to eat vegetarian food just for this reason.

    After the matter was negotiated, the relationship between the three of them became a little closer.

    Since it comes to calligraphy, the three enthusiasts naturally have a wide range of common topics. You and I talked about the mountain guest who is now very popular.

    Mingjue¡¯s love for the mountain guests"Mountain Body" admired him very much. He actually collected one and kept it with him to study it every day. As he said that, he took out another scroll from his sleeve and spread it on the table. When he looked at it, it turned out to be a scroll.  Words within pictures.

    In the painting, a woman carries a hoe on her back, walking on the bank of a sandbar flowing from a mountain spring, gradually disappearing into the clouds and mist.  In the blank space above are written sixteen meaningful small characters in regular script:

    "The jianjia is green and the white dew is frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water."

    Mingjue pointed at the scroll and explained: "This is an inscription written by a mountain guest for the woman in the painting. It should be an early work."

    Zhao Ran was shocked and looked at the calligraphy and painting without saying a word for a long time.

    Seeing that Zhao Ran was silent for a long time while looking at the calligraphy and painting, Mingjue was surprised and said, "Has Donor Cheng seen this calligraphy and painting? Could it be that this work is a forgery?"

    Has Zhao Ran seen this painting and calligraphy?  I¡¯ve seen it before!

    When Zhao Ran first entered Wujiyuan, Zhou Gong, then the prefect of Long'an Prefecture, held an elegant gathering at Beacon Villa.  Yu Zhiyuan, a fellow calligrapher, invited Zhao Ran to a pen conference, where he met the elegant and elegant female crown Zhou Yumo, who was astonished at the time.

    Zhou Yumo took out his own landscape and asked Zhao Ran to inscribe it, and Zhao Ran took up his pen and wrote these sixteen words.

    After careful identification, Zhao Ran was shocked.  Where is the forgery? This is absolutely authentic!  It couldn¡¯t be more authentic!

    The question is, how did this painting and calligraphy come into Mingjue¡¯s hands?

    Zhao Ran calmed his mind and said: "It is undoubtedly authentic and cannot be fake. I just wonder where Master Mingjue got it from?"

    This calligraphy and painting was the beginning of the tacit understanding between him and Zhou Yumo. Now it has fallen into the hands of Monk Mingjue, the deacon of Tianlongyuan. It really makes people feel uneasy and uneasy.

    Zhao Ran thought about it for a while and found two most likely reasons. One is that Zhou Yumo transferred this calligraphy and painting to others and then wandered to Xingqing Mansion; the other is that Zhou Yumo was captured or even killed by Buddhists in Xia Kingdom.  After killing him, this painting and calligraphy became a trophy for the Buddhist monks.

    If it¡¯s the former, the meaning behind it is really sad; and if it¡¯s the latter, Zhao Ran simply can¡¯t imagine it
