Shan Wuwei came to the Baishui Bridge again. At this time, many monks knew that he was going out and ran over.
There were still so many people at the bridgehead. They set up stalls to do business.
Some of them lived in Zhang's village and watched the pandas. They came here to eat snacks.
When it was dark, the lanterns were lit. Chang 'an City didn't close the city gate, so the people walked a few miles to play here.
From the city gate to here, there was a military camp all the way.
The people were not afraid of encountering bad people. Would the bad people dare to come here?
When the stalls saw a large group of monks, they were very curious. However, they didn't kneel down and kowtow to them. They were not in the temple.
In the temple, they respected Buddha. The monks couldn't represent Buddha.
Moreover, the people all knew that Li Dongzhu hated people kneeling. If they had to kneel, they would kneel to Li Dongzhu.
Li Dongzhu sent out a large number of medical books and cured countless people.
The monks and Taoists in Chang 'an were used to it. When the people came to buy grass incense, they didn't burn the incense and took it home.
At first, they didn't know the reason. Later, they knew that the people went back to burn incense for His Majesty and Li Dongzhu.
What was more infuriating was that there were free grass incense in the temples and monasteries. The people also took it and went home.
Recently, it was said that the people bought incense made of wormwood. After lighting it, they put it on the longevity tablets of His Majesty and Li Yi for a while. Then they took it to their rooms to drive the mosquitoes away.
It meant that they had the intention, but the incense was useful to them. They couldn't keep burning them.
It was said that Li Yi discussed it with others when he went to catch the pandas. Li Yi didn't care.
Shan Wuwei found out that the people were not so respectful to the monks. When you looked at them, they would nod to you.
"There are few people who believe in Buddhism in Chang 'an." Shan Wuwei unexpectedly sighed with emotion.
"Master Sanzang, the people in the capital government now believe in Li Yi more. Some people say that Buddha is in the heart and it's enough to know it. Li Dongzhu does things that benefit the people. We must remember it."
The abbot of a temple gave the answer. In the people's hearts, Li Yi was more important than Buddha.
"Li Dongzhu, of course." Good Fearless actually addressed him as Dongzhu and acknowledged this point.
He did not have any major problems or shortcomings. He was already eighty years old and had seen too much. His character was not bad.
He saw the lives of the common people and knew that Li Yi had done a lot behind the scenes.
Now that the commoners had gotten actual benefits, of course they would respect Li Yi.
The group of people stayed there while the villagers ran to inform Li Yi.
"Let's go and meet him. I still need to rely on him to translate the scriptures. I don't have time to copy them. If the scriptures were left behind, they would be the wealth of civilization.
Our Tang dynasty can accommodate all the religions in the world. The people's hearts are in the Tang dynasty. It's not a bad idea to learn about the cultures of other places. "
Li Yi decided to meet him and see what kind of charisma he had.
So he changed into a new white coat and hung the stethoscope around his neck.
The palace maids and eunuchs also changed into palace attire and surrounded him. The bodyguards on Zhuangzi prepared their hidden arrows.
The Winged Knights were at the outermost circle with only a horizontal blade at their waist.
The group of people walked to the bridge and the other party saw the group of people at the other end of the river.
Li Yi strode across the bridge. Shan Wuwei seemed to have guessed something. He stood still and faced the bridge.
The Thousand-Bull Guards beside him immediately rushed out and stood on the left and right.
Li Yi walked across the bridge and looked at the person in front of him. He found that the other party was indeed good-looking. His face was solemn and kind.
Shan Wuwei also looked at Li Yi. Li Yi gave people a very casual feeling, but there was also a sense of intimacy. He looked at him and felt that he was trustworthy.
This was normal. Li Yi did not know how Buddhists practiced, but he knew how doctors practiced. When communicating with patients and their families, the other party must be trusted.
Li Yi showed a professional smile and saluted. "Sanzang Ah Li."
"Li Dongzhu." Shan Wuwei put his palms together and put his thumbs in them.
"Great Master Sanzang, are you free today?" Li Yi asked again. What was the other party's purpose?
"I was indeed strolling. I didn't expect to come to the Ba Bridge and see a prosperous scene. Li Dongzhu has nurtured countless people. "Shan Wuwei told the truth.
"It's all thanks to His Majesty's kindness that the people of the capital can be where they are today." Li Yi quickly threw the honor to Li Longji.
As he spoke, he extended his hand and invited the other party to sit at a noodle stall next to him. There were tables and long stools.
He did not want to bring the other party into Zhuangzi. It was too tiring to walk back and forth.
The stall owner who sold handmade noodles excitedly took out a new rag and wiped the table vigorously. He also used the rest to wipe the stools.
Li Yi put his palms together and bowed to the other monks. The group of people returned the gesture.
They saw how great Shan Wuwei's bow was and how Li Yi had changed into a new set of clothes.
Li Yi was most serious when he was wearing a white coat. They understood.
Then they were squeezed to the side. The palace maids and eunuchs stood on the left and right.
"Great Master, what do you drink?" Li Yi asked the other party to sit down first and asked after he sat down.
"What does Li Dongzhu drink?" Shan Wuwei asked in return.
"Shopkeeper, give me two bowls of water for noodles." The stall owner took out two porcelain bowls. They were chipped.
He was about to find more when Li Yi said, "Heaven and earth are flawed. It is difficult for the human heart to be complete. There are bowls with mouths available. "
"If the heart is not lacking, the bowl will not be lacking." Shan Wuwei followed.
The palace maid Cui Liu saw the stall owner in a daze and went over to fill two bowls with boiling water.
The water was white. There were floating things in it. They were all noodles.
Neither of them drank it. It was too hot.
"Li Dongzhu printed newspapers, taught pinyin, and made the Calligraphy Association produce a dictionary. Although he does not preach, he has already taught." Shan Wuwei said to Li Yi.
"Great Master came from thousands of miles away. He experienced hardships, overcome difficulties, and translated the scriptures. Although he is preaching, his virtue is higher." Li Yi also praised the other party.
"Li Dongzhu, I have a question. I caught a bean worm in my family's bean field this year. If I want to raise it next year, can I just bury the worm?"
An ignorant woman came over from the side. She was selling beans, and she was worried about raising a bean worm.
Li Yi gave Shan Wuwei an apologetic smile and turned to look at the woman. He stood up and said, "If you want to raise it, then you have to bury it deeper. Otherwise, it will freeze to death.
About three inches deep. Don't step on it too hard. In the next year, it will turn into a pupa. If you plant beans on it, it will turn into a moth.
You have to take a look and find bean leaves to feed. Don't stare at a bean tree and pick the leaves. That way, the bean won't grow well. "
"I know. Three inches deep. The soil can't be too hard." The woman nodded and happily went back to sell beans.
Li Yi sat down again. "If you use bean seedlings to raise worms, you will gain a hundred pounds of worms and lose ten pounds of beans. The bean worm can be eaten like eating eggs."
"If the people are willing to eat it, this method is good." Shan Wuwei saw Li Yi's actions and what Li Yi said.
Li Yi stood up. At the same time, his words were not elegant at all and were long-winded.
"Li Dongzhu, my people heard someone say that sorghum should be harvested. Li Dongzhu, do you have a new method to threshing sorghum?"
Shan Wuwei thought of something. He knew all kinds of skills, but he did not study all kinds of Linon.
He was also curious. How could the sorghum grains be harvested? Was there a better way?
"Yes, but it can't be used." Li Yi nodded and shook his head.
