Li Mu laughed loudly. He could see that the little monk was very smart, but because he was young, he had a very shallow vision and knowledge, like a piece of white paper, looking innocent and cute. Regardless of whether he was the "Ikkyu" in his memory, Li Mu had a good first impression of him.

The little monk was not the first Japanese that Li Mu met after coming to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was the most inclusive dynasty in Chinese history. There were all kinds of people in Chang'an City. There were also some Japanese merchants in Chang'an City, but their status was very low and they were generally not qualified to appear in front of him.

The exchanges between Japan and China were first traced back to the Qin and Han dynasties. According to legend, in order to seek immortality, Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to bring 300 boys and girls to the east to find Penglai Fairy Island. Xu Fu did not find Penglai Fairy Island, but arrived at the Japanese island, which had not yet been transformed into savages everywhere.

Xu Fu did not find the immortal medicine and dared not come back. He took root on the island of Japan and brought civilization to Japan. This was by no means a fabrication by an angry young man. Xu Fu was respected as the god of farming, sericulture and medicine in Japan. The sacrificial activities commemorating Xu Fu have lasted for thousands of years. Even Japanese cultural scholars admit that: "Xu Fu is the founding father of our Japanese."

During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, gave the Japanese envoys who came to congratulate him with a golden seal, called the King of Han Wanu. This thing really exists, and it is in the Fukuoka Museum in Japan.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the country fought endlessly, but Japan did not interrupt its desire for Chinese culture. The biography of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, and historical books all have records of the "Envoy of the Japanese". Later, during the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, due to frequent regime changes, exchanges gradually decreased, but they were not interrupted.

In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui unified the north and south. The Central Plains entered the era of centralization again, and Japan hurriedly sent envoys to come. But they were not welcomed and were not even qualified to enter the Honglu Temple. When Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, the Japanese envoys did something extremely stupid. In his letter to Emperor Yang of Sui, he wrote that "The emperor came from the sun and the emperor was safe when he wrote the letter to Emperor Yang of Sui, "The emperor was from the sun and the emperor was safe." He called the Japanese monarch "The emperor was from the sun and the emperor was "The emperor was from the sun and the emperor was safe." Emperor Yang of Sui was very unhappy when he saw it and directly ordered the interruption of contact with Japan.

Then the Central Plains was in chaos again. By the time Li Mu traveled over, Japan had not sent any envoys for nearly twenty years.

Although the young monk was smart, he had no scheming. Moreover, he was particularly eager for someone to chat with him. As long as Li Mu asked a question, he would never stop talking. He had almost no energy, so Li Mu understood his background clearly.

The young monk and his master Huiri were sent to China again after 20 years. This time, the mission had more than 100 people, the largest in history. They started preparing three years when they learned that Li Shimin ascended the throne. They gathered for two years and gathered to cross the Korean Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula, and then crossed the mouth of the Bohai Bay. They landed on the Shandong Peninsula at the beginning of the year. They walked and stopped on the road and arrived in Chang'an for another year.

When they arrived in Chang'an, there were only more than fifty missions left with more than one hundred people. More than fifty people died, some were overturned and drowned, some were killed when they encountered robbers on the road, some were sick and dead, and wild beasts were bitten to death... When the monk talked about these ways of death, Li Mu finally revealed a doubt, that is, why the mission had to lead the monk.

If you have such a big casualty, you have to have a chanting person. This is a necessity. As for bringing a young monk, it is probably like Xu Fu bringing a boy and a girl, so as not to unfortunately die and no one can recite the scriptures.

Of course, this is Li Mu's nonsense. The little monk and his master are two. The real identity is the doctor of the mission. His master Huiri is famous in Japan and is an amazing doctor. He grew up with his master since childhood. The mission recruited his master, and his master insisted on bringing him with him. If he didn't, his master would not come. Therefore, he brought him an eight-year-old child.

Not all the fifty people who survived through hardships were qualified to enter Chang'an City. The Ministry of Rites only gave them ten places, and the rest had to wait outside the city. They and the Gaochang mission came from each other, but the treatment was very different. Honglu Temple hosted the Gaochang mission, cleared the venue and had no place to live for them. It was the abbot of Ci'en Temple who thought that everyone was a monk and took them in.

After chatting for a while, Li Mu signaled Dugu Jiu to lean over. Li Mu picked up Pangda and the three of them got out of the carriage. He saw an old monk wearing a patched monk's uniform standing at the door of the heaven and earth, like a doorman in a valet parking car.

The old monk's eyes seemed not very good. He had to come over to see clearly for everyone who approached him. This was a bit annoying. Guests who could come to heaven and earth were either rich or noble, and they were inevitably cold and cold. He didn't mind and apologized repeatedly. It would be better if he didn't apologize. As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard that it was a Japanese accent and even more scolding. For the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, there was no difference between Japanese and monkeys, and who would take it seriously.

In the hearts of the Tang people, the Tang people are the most awesome. Especially recently, they have defeated the Turks, and their confidence has expanded to the extreme. In addition to the Tang people, the Turks can also do it. After all, they have been opponents for so many years, and there is still basic respect. After the Turks, they were Tiel, Uighurs and other Hu people, then Goguryeo, Tuyuhun, Tubo people, later, Miaojiang, Mohe, Silla Baekje, etc. As for Japan... Usually when talking about it, I can't remember such a place.

"Master!" The little monk ran over and grabbed the old monk's hand. The old monk leaned closer and saw that it was his disciple and said angrily: "Ikkyu, I asked you to wait for me on the street corner, why don't you listen?"

The little monk was crying and said, "Do you not want me to see them treat you like this? Master, why do people in the Tang Dynasty bully people..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" The old monk was startled and quickly covered the little monk's mouth, warning: "The Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom is a country of etiquette, and there are very few rude people. Besides, it is also the teacher's behavior first, no wonder it is. You can't think so, do you know?"

"Oh..." The little monk seemed to understand, but he seemed to be used to listening to the master and did not refute it.

Li Mu stood by and watched, feeling very strange. The two Japanese people were talking in Chinese. Did they deliberately tell me?

But after thinking about it, it seems that there is no need for this. Because he hasn't seen himself yet when he looks at the old monk.

Li Mu took a step forward, and the old monk felt someone in front of him, so he quickly came up. Seeing an old face covered with wrinkles, Li Mu forced himself to punch him without punching him, frowned and said, "Hey, old monk, what are you looking at?"

"I'm sorry, sorry... May I ask, are you Zhulu Hou?"

Li Mu deliberately held it back and reached out to cover the little monk's mouth, saying, "This is going to test your eyesight. Do you think I am?"

"The old monk couldn't see clearly... but he seemed to have no hair, but he was not a monk. I heard that Zhulu Hou did not have hair. I guess the donor should be Zhulu Hou. Did the old monk guess correctly?"

Li Mu let go of the little monk and smiled and said, "The old monk has good eyesight, it is this marquis. I just met your disciple and he said you want to see me. Old monk, why are you looking for me?"

"It's really Zhulu Marquis! I finally saw you!" The old monk exclaimed and bowed deeply. Li Mu turned his back. It was not that he couldn't bear the courtesy, but the old monk was too old. He felt a little bad in his heart and frowned and said, "If you have something to say, don't mess with these useless things. Those who worship this marquis can queue up from here to Chengtian Gate. There is no shortage of you, the old monk. If you have nothing to do, this marquis still has something to do. Go back and don't block the door."

As he said that, Li Mu said to the little monk again: "Little bald man, what you saw just now cannot be called bullying. You must distinguish the difference between disgust and bullying. Bullying is that you were beaten for no reason, which is called bullying. And disgust is what you just saw. Your master blocked someone's door and didn't drive him away. It's been a few weeks since his etiquette. This is called etiquette, which is also a kind of cultivation. But you can't ask all guests to be so cultivated, right? It's normal to be disgusted." Li Mu smiled and said, "Do you want to know, how can you not be disgusted?"

The little monk nodded blankly, and Li Mu smiled and said, "There are two solutions to avoid this situation. The first is not to do things that make people dislike. If you don't block the door here, they will naturally not despise you. The second is like me." Li Mu looked back and looked at it. Since he was blocking the door, the merchants who got off the carriage after him did not dare to cross him, and they all piled up at the door to wait.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Become a powerful person."

After saying that, Li Mu grabbed the bald monk's head and took Li Zhien into the heaven and earth. As soon as he left, everyone behind him followed him in. The little monk looked blankly, suddenly looked up at his master, and asked, "Master, what's the matter with you looking for Zhulu Marquis, why don't you tell me?"

The old monk smiled and said, "I have been hearing his reputation and wanted to see what kind of person he is. Now I see it, it is indeed extraordinary. Ikkyu, have you remember what he said? Remember it in your heart and try to be a person who is not disliked, do you know?"

"Oh..." the little monk responded, looked up and looked at the master again, and asked, "Master, I still have another question, can I ask?"

"Yeah, ask."

"Master, you can't see clearly, why do you still have to see it? You told me that obsession is the greatest suffering for a person. If you can't see it, you still have to see it. Is this considered obsession?"
