Chapter 71 Monk, Goodbye
In early June, midsummer is coming.
On both sides of the official road heading east from Yingtian Prefecture, crops are growing wildly, green and covered with the earth.
The southwest wind blowing from the south of the Huai River drove away the warm and wet clouds that enveloped the Huanghuai region, covering the entire land under the scorching sun.
In the summer of the first year of Yuanfu, I finally felt a hot feeling.
However, this heat did not affect people's enthusiasm for rushing. On the official road, there were endless streams of cars and horses coming and going, creating a lively scene.
Wu Haogu was leading a horse and walking side by side with the three monks on the official road.
Today is the day when he and Monk Fu, Lu Zhishen, and Japanese Monks quit break up.
The paintings for monk Fu and monk Jiejue have been completed. One is "The True Face of Arhat", one is "Visa Mon Heavenly Map", one is "Flying Sky Map" and one is "The Picture of Xiao Xiangguo Temple".
Except for "The Picture of Xiaoxiangguo Temple" which is a bounding painting, the rest are portrait photos. Of course, these works are all made of fine brushwork and silk, and are not the most special oil paintings of Wu Haogu. His super realistic oil paintings are a killer weapon and cannot be easily taken out. Moreover, the materials for painting are not all.
In addition, "The Picture of Abstinence and Reckless Arhat", "The Picture of Visaman" and "The Picture of Flying Sky" are not the same. Wuhao Ancient Capital has left a draft and can be copied at any time - this kind of religious theme picture market is very large, so of course Wuhao Ancient has to copy a few more pictures.
"The master has left Japan for more than ten years, can we tell what is happening in Japan now?"
While seeing off the three monks, Bu Haoku found out about the situation in Japan. He did not know the history of Japan very well, but only knew that there were "Genheihe War" and "Kasukura Shogunate".
Calculate the date. Now it is about before the "Yuanpinghe War". I don't know what the situation is?
"I know a little. The old monk has several disciples in Japan. Now they are the lords of a temple and often send messages. So the old monk knows that the monks are now in Japan."
"Monk is in the country? Monk Shidi has such great magic power?"
"Of course, it is the emperor who has lost his hair." said the monk Jiejue, "As far as the old monk knows, the power of Japan is now in the hands of the Shirakawa Court Emperor. Therefore, Japan is the monk who is in the world."
"Where is the warrior?"
"Samurai?" The old monk Jie Jue was stunned. "The warriors in Japan naturally listen to the Emperor Shirakawa Court, and they are all my Buddhist guardians."
It turns out that the era of the Wu family has not yet begun. Wu Haogu said that the current Japanese rule is a Dharma Emperor who nominally retreated to become a monk.
This emperor should have been the leader of Japan. The reason why he had to abdicate and become a monk can firmly grasp the power. He must use the huge power of Buddhism in Japan to suppress the powerful ministers...
It seems that Monk Fu is right to go to Japan to gilt. If he can really curry favor with the Prince of Shirakawa Court, there may be unexpected benefits in the future.
Not to mention anything else, Japan was once known as the "Golden Country" in history, and it should be a rich source of precious metals, right?
Thinking of this, Wu Haogu said to the monk: "I don't know when this farewell will be seen. If you arrive safely, you can ask the merchant to bring the letter to Haizhou. You only need to hand it over to the Pan family's gold, silver, silk and silk shop in Haizhou, and I will receive it."
"Okay, there will be letters coming at that time."
Wu Haogu nodded and asked Lu Zhishen again: "Master Zhishen, don't you go to Japan, right?"
"If you don't go, don't go." Lu Zhishen shook his head, "Sha family has just become an official, and he still goes to Japan? When the Sa family escorted Master Jie Jue and Lin Zheng to Haizhou, he would go back to Mount Wutai, and explain to Senior Brother Zhizhen, and then go to Kaifeng Prefecture to become an official."
Wu Haogu smiled and said, "At that time, I will ask Master Zhishen to take care of me."
"Hahaha," Lu Zhishen laughed, "At that time, I will have to trouble you, Dalang. Dalang, don't refuse."
Lu Zhishen has seen Wu Haogu's photo shoot with his own eyes, and naturally he knows how valuable his paintings are to the monks.
Which old monk doesn’t want to leave his “The True Face of the Arhat” for future generations to worship? Lu Zhishen has become a great monk now, so he naturally wants to pass on the true face image.
"Master is joking," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "If the master asks you, why don't a certain family agree?"
"Okay, that's all right."
When talking, the official road ahead had already been divided into two, one leading to Xuzhou, and the other still heading east along the Bian River (canal).
"Monk, go all the way." Wu Haogu bowed to the three monks, "Master Zhishen, there will be a time later.
Master Jiejue, my brother, Monk Linzheng, will entrust you to the old man. He grew up in Kaifeng Prefecture since he was a child and has never traveled far away, let alone crossing the sea and going abroad..."
"Yes, monk, you have to be careful all the way."
"I heard that the sea is full of wind and high waves, so you must be careful."
Guo Jing and Liu Wuji were reluctant to leave and went forward to say goodbye to Monk Fu.
Both of them also have Wu Haogu who was replaced before the soul was replaced. They both knew Monk Fu since childhood, and they were almost all friends who had been playing big since childhood. I don’t want to start today, I will have to be separated from the sky.
However, all three good brothers knew that Monk Fu had a great future when he went abroad. When he returned to Kaifeng, he would be a complete generation of monks.
When he was about to part, Monk Fu's eyes also had tears in his eyes and could not even speak. He just bowed to his brothers, took a few steps, turned around and bowed again. After repeated this several times, he disappeared into the crowd.
Guo Jing and Liu Wuji were also crying. Now is not an era when going to Japan seems to be a visit.
Today's separation may not be the day when we meet again, so how can we not be sad?
However, Wu Haogu did not shed tears. After all, he and Monk Fu did not actually have a long time to interact. All the past were just fragments of memory.
Seeing the three monks disappearing from afar, Wu Haogu let out a sigh and whispered: "Let's go, let's go to Xuzhou, don't let official Wu wait too long."
The Grand Official of Wu is Wu Yong, who is a pseudonym Wu Zhi. He took him from Xuzhou a few days ago (actually he has never been to Xuzhou) to Yingtian Mansion. However, Wu Haogu was working on paintings behind closed doors at that time and had no time to pay attention to him, so he was Guo Jing and Liu Wuji went to deal with it.
He sold a total of 100 calligraphy and paintings and collected 5,000 taels of silver. However, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji were still a little shallow in their calligraphy and painting careers, and they did not see the details of Wu Yong and the Mr. Palm Eye invited by him during the transaction...
Of course, Wu Haogu, who has been constantly being punished since his soul has changed, is still guarding against others. Before leaving Yingtian Mansion, he handed over most of the silver stools in his hand and deposited all of them into the Pan family's gold, silver and silk stools shop. He just brought a small amount of silver stools, copper coins, private friends (deposits, remittance receipts) and calligraphy and painting.
Moreover, the Pan family's gold, silver, silk and silk shop is the property of Pan Qiaolian and his family. Even if the private friends are destroyed, as long as Pan Qiaolian's people are not lost, they will be a big son, and Wu Haogu will not be missing.
Hei Songjiang, who was standing on a high slope in the distance, vaguely saw Lu Zhishen and Wu Haogu parting, and laughed.
Wu Yong had poor eyesight and didn't see clearly what was going on, so he asked, "Why did your brother laugh?"
"It's going to be done, I'm happy." Song Jiang said, "The bearded monk separated from Wu Haogu. Now there are only three riders who are protecting him, and they are also away from the canal avenue.
Now we are just waiting for the team of leaders Chao to arrive, and we finally have the opportunity to start."
"Brother, where do you want to start?"
