In January of the first year of Xianqing, Master Tripitaka Xuanzang, after translating Yin Ming Lun, took a long break and then began to translate Li Men Lun.
This time, the Master did not stay at Daci'en Temple, but went straight to Qiyun Temple in Bashang.
This is a small temple, covering an area of only twenty acres, with only three Buddhist halls. Although this temple is small and not grand, it is built extremely delicately, even one window, one lattice, one brick and one tile.
There is a sense of tranquility everywhere in the lintel.
The main body of the temple is not a Buddhist hall, but a tall pavilion. In this pavilion stands half of an ancient cypress that was killed by lightning.
This ancient cypress is so huge that seven or eight people holding hands cannot wrap around the only half of its trunk left.
The skilled craftsmen of Jinchangfang actually used this half piece of cypress wood to carve out a spiritual mountain.
Where is Lingshan?
The place where there is Buddha is Lingshan.
Therefore, on the top of this half dead tree, there are almost endless layers of Buddhas standing on top.
Under these Buddhas, there is a long stone path that seems to have no end.
This path has twists and turns and stretches from Lingshan Mountain to the human world.
Just at the beginning of the path, there was a young novice with a bag on his back, looking up at the mist-shrouded Lingshan Mountain. The thousands of gods and Buddhas on the Lingshan Mountain were also anxiously looking at the young novice at the beginning of the path.
Different from the peaceful, happy and compassionate appearance shown by the Buddha statues elsewhere, the Buddhas on this spiritual mountain have different expressions and are all uneasy, as if something big is about to happen.
Xuanzang stroked the little novice's egg-sized bald head and whispered: "If you don't go, they will be uneasy. If you go, they will be even more uneasy."
Naha naturally wanted to touch the bald head that the Master had touched. She felt that the bald head of this little wooden novice monk was very round, so she naturally wanted to touch it more.
The most common hot springs in Lantian County are hot springs. There is also a hot spring like this in Bashang. However, the spring water is not big and only has a trickle. The skilled craftsmen of Jinchangfang simply dug up the surrounding area of this hot spring and laid out a foundation.
On top of this hot spring, it was covered with bluestone slabs, and then a pavilion-like room with a length and width of less than ten feet was built on the bluestone slabs.
Even though the cold wind is howling outside and the white snow is falling, this room with many windows is still as warm as spring.
Naha helped the Master into the pavilion. She felt a little stuffy, so she opened a window and said to Xuanzang: "Master, is it okay?"
Xuanzang looked at Naha dotingly and said: "Very good."
Naha pointed to an oil lamp hanging on the roof and said: "This is a glazed lamp. It is similar to the precious eight-treasure glazed lamp of Daci'en Temple. There is a smoking cover on the lamp, and the smoke will flow along it.
If the pipe floats outside, it will not make the air in this small room dirty.
Also, even if this lamp falls from above, it will not cause a fire. I heard from my brother that there is a safety mechanism on it. As long as the lamp leaves this position, it will automatically go out."
Xuanzang looked at Naha with a smile and nodded repeatedly.
Naha pointed to another bed and said: "Brother said that there is a hot spring flowing under this bed. In winter, this bed will always stay warm, and the mage no longer has to worry about being too cold at night.
Also, this table and chairs are all made according to the master's body. Even if you translate scriptures here for a long time, you will not feel too tired..."
A pretty girl, a mottled old monk, one chirping, one smiling and silent, one lively, and one lonely, making this picture extremely Zen-like.
Even the welcoming monks of Daci'en Temple could not help but smile at this time, thinking that placing Master Xuanzang here to translate scriptures was the best thing.
The only thing that surprised the welcoming monk was that the master was very kind to everyone in the Yun family, except for the owner of the Yun family, Yun Chu. The welcoming monk thought that the master did not want to see this young man. After observing him for so many years, he
Found that this is not the case.
Maybe...the rumors...in the market...could be...true?
Pushing open the gate of Qiyun Temple, there is an endless cemetery outside.
The cemetery here is extremely old. It can be seen from some mottled stone tablets that the owner of the tomb is from the Han Dynasty.
However, most of these tombs are not complete. They have been visited by too many tomb robbers in the past long time.
The owner of the Yun family was kind-hearted and buried the dead bones that had wandered away one by one. As a result, this tomb was mixed with the newly built Qiyun Temple, and it became a bit more primitive and desolate.
Master Xuanzang is probably not afraid of ghosts.
If there really is a ghost, it would suit Master Xuanzang’s taste. Apart from not liking people, he is full of love for everything else.
This tomb is actually a cemetery that the Yun family did not have time to remove. This land in Guanzhong has been cultivated for thousands of years. The number of people who once lived on this land must exceed the number of hundreds of millions. If everyone needs
If the tombs were protected, then the land in Guanzhong would have long been occupied by the dead.
Therefore, it can be said that the Guanzhong people are cultivating the land nourished by the corpses of their ancestors to nourish themselves and their descendants.
Tombs that have people offering sacrifices will remain the same, while tombs that have no people offering sacrifices will sooner or later turn into fields.
This is true even for the tombs of emperors and generals.
Master Xuanzang's move to Qiyun Temple was a very secretive act, and not many people knew about it.
Except for a few people, the rest thought that Master Xuanzang was staying in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to translate scriptures.
However, since Master Xuanzang stayed in Xiqiyun Temple, Yu Xiurong's attitude towards Buddha has changed a lot. At least, he is more pious than before.
The main reason is that in Chang'an City, there are family temples, nunneries, private Taoist temples, and many families who practice Qi. When it comes to the status of monks in any family temple, there should be no one that can surpass the Yun family.
Qiyun Temple.
I have to say that women's sense of honor is very strange.
After being busy throughout the Lantern Festival, the people of Jinchangfang finally had a rare break.
In fact, every time a Shangyuan Festival event is held, it is a huge test for Jinchangfang, and it is also a test of Wannian County’s economic capabilities. Nowadays, those who participate in Shangyuan Festival activities are not only
Not only people from Chang'an, but also people from the prefectures and counties near Chang'an, as well as outsiders who have relatives in Chang'an at home, are willing to enter Chang'an before the Lantern Festival to participate in such a dream-like carnival.
In the past, wealthy people from Chang'an liked to go to Luoyang to celebrate festivals. Firstly, Luoyang is warmer than Chang'an. Secondly, the control of Luoyang City is looser than that of Chang'an City, so there is more time for fun there.
Now that it's reversed, people in Chang'an can finally send invitations to their wealthy relatives from other places to come to Chang'an to spend an unforgettable festival.
This is a very rare and good phenomenon, which shows that Chang'an once again has strong attraction.
Yunchu believes that once cotton is planted on a large scale this year, Chang'an's status will be further improved.
If the cotton textile industry can become the core industrial group of Chang'an, Chang'an can achieve real long-term peace and stability.
Changes cannot be seen in a day or two. Yun Chu is not in a hurry. He is still young and has plenty of time to wait slowly.
In the first court meeting of the first year of Xianqing, Li Yifu showed his great power. Duan Baoxuan, the minister of Dali Temple, became the governor of Luozhou and was changed to the governor of Yuezhou.
Zhang Lun, the imperial censor, left Danzhou Husi.
Zhang Hui, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple who tried the Chunyu clan, came out of Qianzhou to be the Dacao.
Cheng Lin of Dali Temple, who participated in the trial of the Chunyu family, knew that Huizhou Dacao was there.
Di Renjie, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple who tried the case impartially, was promoted to the rank of Chief of Dali Temple, from the sixth rank.
It can be said that among all the people related to Chunyu's case, only Di Renjie, who was obviously cheating, got the reward.
The cold wind in the first month was still biting, and Yun Chu still couldn't sneak into the hall to roast the fire dragon.
And because the entrance to the hall is too high, the wind here is even stronger. Even if there are cans of tea to drink, it is still very cold.
"Chun Yu was sentenced to death as a prisoner, why doesn't anyone talk about this?"
Yun Chu poured a cup of tea for Wen Rou and asked in a low voice.
"The eunuchs didn't allow this woman to die, so Lao Di sent all the dragon bones you found to the eunuchs. The old men were ecstatic, and some old men with white beards said that they had always wanted this thing.
I am researching it, and the research is very in-depth, which is definitely not what a woman can compare with."
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I don't know whether these words are true or false. No one can tell clearly."
Di Renjie said on the side: "It's all true. Regardless of whether they have studied it before, at least, they have started to study it from now on."
Yun Chu said: "Why are you thinking of using these historians?"
Di Renjie said: "After I went back, I thought hard and finally found that the situation created by Li Yifu was almost impossible to resolve.
Anyway, someone will always benefit, and I think it is better to give the benefits to the historians than to Li Yifu."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "The teacher will hate you to death."
Di Renjie sighed and said, "He has already thrown a stack of documents in my face in front of many people."
Yun Chu frowned and said, "Our teacher is really too much."
Di Renjie smiled bitterly and said: "It's not too much. It's me who's overdoing it. We were originally teachers and students. In this kind of case with no obvious tendency, I should be biased towards him. Even if I am not biased towards him, at least I should handle it impartially.
Instead of giving the benefits that originally belonged to him to the eunuch."
Yun Chu said in surprise: "Are you aggrieved for the teacher?"
Di Renjie shook his head and said: "You haven't read the complete documents of Dali Temple. If you do, you will find out how sophisticated our teacher is in handling things.
I am really sorry. With my teacher’s knowledge and skills, he could have been a capable minister, but I don’t know why he chose to be a sycophant. It’s a pity.”
Just as Yun Chu and the others were whispering outside the main hall, the door of the main hall opened, and Li Yifu walked out with a wat board in his arms. When he saw Yun Chu and the others, he walked over.
He looked at the three of them with his beautiful peach blossom eyes and said, "As long as I am here, you will never even think about entering the palace to listen to the announcement."
Today's class was very good. The college students were very enthusiastic about learning. They mainly asked me for advice. If they also participated in writing online articles, they could earn 10,000 yuan a month.
I say that the threshold for online writing is not at the door, but within the door, but they are all the proud ones of heaven, and it is good to have dreams.
