"Youyou are forcing yourself to make things difficult"
"Forcing someone to make things difficult for me? What a joke Why should I waste my time and make things difficult for you if you are a poor person? You have to be worthy of me."
Bai Chen’s face was full of disdain. Most of today’s imperial courts are full of people like this. They are just running around in political struggles, amassing money and forming cliques. If they are really allowed to govern the country, they all become losers.
"I will prove it to you! You are just looking down on others!"
Bai Chen curled his lips with disdain on his face. Maybe he underestimated him, but how much higher could he overestimate him?
Bai Chen had just taken a few steps when he saw an old woman clapping her hands gently, and there was someone standing next to the old woman.
“My child, whose child are you?”
Bai Chen was stunned for a moment: "Old madam, who are you?"
"I came here to relax and have been standing here for a while. You are a special kid. You have high intentions and hidden secrets. But are you a candidate for the autumn exam this year?"
"No." Bai Chen shook his head: "The boy is from the Jianghu. Madam, please leave quickly. The attendant next to you is about to kill me with his eyes."
"A person from the jianghu?" The old woman frowned: "My dear, I've misjudged people. People from the jianghu are miserable. You are so talented, so why bother crawling around in this jianghu?"
"In a word, people can't help themselves in the world. I didn't choose the world, it was the world that chose me."
"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves" The old woman closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "That's right, everyone is in the rivers and lakes."
"That's ridiculous." Bai Chen clasped his fists and left.
"Madam." The waiter approached the old woman and looked at Bai Chen's departing figure: "Do you want me to check his background?"
"Need not."
"Madam, you seem to like this boy quite a lot."
The old woman turned her head lightly and glanced at the attendant.
The attendant trembled all over, took two steps back quickly, lowered his head and trembled continuously.
"This world belongs to me, but not every good thing in the world must be held in my hands."
This old woman is none other than Wu Zetian, the only empress in history.
In terms of merit, she is no worse than any emperor in history, no worse than her predecessors, and no worse than her descendants.
When Bai Chen left, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He recognized who the old woman was.
Because on the day Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he was in the court and witnessed all this.
"In just over half a month, Wu Zetian's temperament changed.
Is this luck blessing? The spirit of a king?
That luck was faintly resisting her. Maybe Wu Zetian and the attendants around her didn't notice it, but the luck in her did.
Of course, I have no ill intentions, so my luck is not very resistant to me.
As soon as Bai Chen returned to the inn, he saw two people being thrown out.
"Get out of here, this is Hongyun Inn, not a place for free meals, let alone a place for country folk like you."
Bai Chen took a closer look and realized that these two people were not the same two guys who stayed at the inn last night.
Bai Chen remembers that the fat one is called A-Chen
"What are you two doing?"
When the two of them saw Bai Chen, they felt as if they had seen a ghost. Their faces were already in a state of embarrassment, but now they were even more frightened.
"Sir, do you know these two untouchables?" The waiter at the inn was still aggressive. When he saw Bai Chen looking at the two people, he immediately showed his servile appearance and came forward to please: "But with these two people? People have their holidays, I’ll help you"
"Who are you calling a pariah?" Bai Chen slapped the guy mercilessly. He himself was just a servant, how could he have the nerve to call others a pariah?
"Sir, you" The man was a little stunned and looked at Bai Chen with his face covered.
"Go and get me another room."
"Ah? What are you doing?"
"My two friends are moving in, what? My two friends are not qualified?"
"No, no I am qualified, I am qualified."
The guy sprinted back to the inn, secretly cursing himself for being a bitch.
"How did you two end up like this?"
"Alasthe landlady kicked us out this morning, saying we failed to protect the master" A Chen looked at Bai Chen distressedly and said aggrievedly.
"We are originally from Hengyang, and we have a lot of savings, so we have to come to Luoyang to try our luck and find?Hongyun Inn, I thought that since we were both experienced and not lazy at work, we should be able to find a job. Unexpectedly, the man heard that we were looking for work and kicked us out without saying a word. "
The two people's eyes dodge, obviously they are a little afraid of Bai Chen.
After all, they all saw and heard the exchange with Di Renjie last night.
The man in front of them was almost demon-like in wisdom, but it frightened the two of them.
It seems that as long as he takes a look at you, he will break your mind.
"Forget it, you lost your job because of me. For now, stay with me. If I leave in the future, I will help you two find a good job."
"ah……"
"Ah, what, I haven't thanked you yet." Another person quickly pulled Ah Chen to kneel down and kowtow to Bai Chen.
Bai Chen frowned: "Don't kowtow all the time, I'm tired of this false etiquette."
"Your name is A-Chen, right? What's your name again?"
"Little man Ashan."
"Ah Shan, Ah Chen" Bai Chen casually threw two slings of copper coins to the two of them: "Go and change your clothes. You haven't eaten yet Let the guys here prepare some food and drink for you first. You can eat whatever you want. As long as you After you finish eating, don’t be afraid that I won’t be able to pay, but let’s make an agreement first and order as much as you can. Although I don’t care about money, I don’t like extravagance.”
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master"
Ah Chen is a real person, and he almost kowtowed to Bai Chen again. When Ah Shan saw the displeasure in Bai Chen's eyes, he quickly stopped Ah Chen.
The two of them were really hungry, and they wolfed down the food on the table. Although Bai Chen said that he didn't need to worry about the food and drink expenses, they were also kind and didn't dare to order anything expensive. With two plates of vegetarian dishes, the rice in the bowls was continuously added. A dozen times.
"Man, please serve some good dishes. These two dishes are out of date." Bai Chen shouted.
“Sir, no, no…two plates of food are enough, that’s all we eat on weekdays.”
"That's enough, I don't need to eat it, sir." Bai Chen glared at the two of them.
Although Bai Chen said this, he didn't mean to move his chopsticks. Sometimes it's fun to watch others eat.
"Eat, just eat vegetarian food and you will have the strength to fart. Give me the food when you order it. Even if you can't eat it, you have to walk around."
Both of them are honest people, and they shed tears while eating rice.
They have also found several jobs before and after. Of course they know what is hard to make and hard to eat. No master has ever been so kind to them.
But their new master is a bit scary. He looks fair and clean, but he always gives people a feeling of fear.
In fact, the two of them knew a little bit about the innkeeper they worked for before.
But even people like the innkeeper didn’t feel as deeply as the Bai Chen in front of them.
"Young master, you are so kind to us, and from now on you will ask us to go up the sword mountain and get off the oil pan"
"Stop, I don't need you to do anything for me. I hire you and you work for me. I don't have anything illegal or disciplinary for you to do. You are duty-bound people, so do your duty. What are you doing with those bullshit vows?”
The next day, Bai Chen took the two of them to the White Horse Temple. Today, the White Horse Temple is known as the best in the world. There are many monks, and most of them are martial monks who guard the temple's properties. Celebrities also like to come here to enjoy the flowers. Watch the Buddha.
However, Bai Chen frowned when he came to the White Horse Temple.
This White Horse Temple is just like the Shaolin Temple first. It looks like a magnificent temple, but in fact it has fallen into inferior status.
It does not mean that Buddhist temples cannot be well decorated, but it means that the inner essence cannot be lost. After all, temples are places outside the world, and they are stained with secular atmosphere, just like the green lotus is stained with dirt.
Ah Chen and Ah Shan were amazed by the majestic treasure pavilion in front of them. For them, the White Horse Temple in front of them was a holy land of Buddhism, a pure land beyond. Just one look at it could cleanse their souls and remove the turbidity.
When Bai Chen was about to enter, he was blocked by two monks holding sticks: "No idlers allowed in."
"How did the two masters know that I am an idler?" Bai Chen spread out the fan in his hand, with a dissatisfied attitude on his face.
"Do you know who is visiting the temple today?" The monk on the left has a condescending attitude.
"I don't know, could it be that the two masters also distinguished the guests according to their superiority and inferiority? The theory of superiority and inferiority overlaps?" Bai Chen asked in return.
"Everyone has his or her own dignity. How can the royal family and ordinary people like you compare?"
"The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, so the two masters probably never meditate and recite the Buddha's name, right?"
"I don't care about you. Damn equality"
?"These two monks don't have the slightest bit of Buddhist cultivation. They are all arrogant and ruthless people in the market.
However, as soon as the monk finished speaking, Bai Chen raised his foot and kicked the monk directly on the abdomen.
"Bold maniac! How dare you hurt someone here?" Another monk raised his stick and was about to hit Bai Chen on the head.
“Young master, be careful.” Ah Shan was also full of energy and without saying a word, he dragged his heavy body and bumped into the monk.
The monk rolled on the ground a few times, with a gray face on his head: "Youdon't leave if you have the gutshere comes someonehe's beating someonecome here quickly."
"Sir, let's leave quickly. These two evil monks are not easy to mess with." Ah Chen said quickly.
"It's a place that harbors filth and evil, so don't come here." Bai Chen nodded, but didn't leave eagerly at all. He just walked carelessly.
Ah Chen and Ah Shan followed Bai Chen, but the emperor was not as anxious as the eunuch, and only hoped that Bai Chen could walk faster.
Helpless, Bai Chen has such a temper that when he is unhappy, he doesn’t give face to anyone.
At this moment, a woman shouted from inside the temple: "Who is making a noise here?"
Bai Chen looked back and saw that she was a young to middle-aged woman. She was dressed in official uniform, with a graceful figure and a three-petal plum blossom mark on her eyebrows. Her beautiful eyes were like sharp knives sweeping across the monks who came after hearing the news.
"Hui'an, what's going on?"
"Sir Shangguan, it's those three scoundrels who are here to cause trouble. I tried to persuade them to leave quickly, but they hurt someone instead. Only then did I gather my brothers to take him down and seek justice." (~^~)
