There was an auspicious event in Zhangjialing. A century-old peach tree was too old. The owner planned to cut it down, otherwise it would attract all the termites from the Qinling Mountains next spring and summer. A Taoist priest took a fancy to a piece of it.
The peach wood was cut down to make several hundred-year-old peach wood swords. Who would have thought that after the branches were sawed, the pattern in the heart of the tree looked very strange. After the Taoist priest polished it, it turned out to be a picture of "Laozi's Leaving Seclusion".
The image of Lao Tzu and the green cow are lifelike.
This is amazing, this is a real miracle. The magistrate of Wannian County was so excited that he could not speak. He knocked on the que in person and reported this auspiciousness to the emperor. When the emperor heard this, he was delighted and sent his ministers there.
After investigating, Wang Gui, who was dubious, checked it for himself and was overjoyed. It was indeed as the county magistrate said. It was indeed very similar. After calming down, he ordered someone to wash it with water to see if it was true. As a result, the water
After wiping it, the pattern on it became more and more red, and it actually showed a sense of simplicity.
After burning incense and bathing, the emperor personally visited Zhangjialing and met with the owner of the old peach tree. There were four members of the family, honest farmers, with his wife, son and daughter. They were all rare kind people. In the early years, the male owner
He even accompanied the army on an expedition against the Turks and achieved military success. Now he is lame in his legs and still farming non-stop.
The eldest grandson personally expressed his condolences to the peasant woman. The peasant woman was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and was sweating. She could not say a complete sentence. If such a family could make lies, it would be very difficult to find honest people in the world.
Overjoyed, His Majesty the Emperor asked the veteran what he wanted. The veteran scratched the back of his head and hummed for a long time before carefully asking His Majesty the Emperor if he could give him a cow.
The county magistrate Wannian wished he could go up and kick him a few times. He wasted such a good opportunity, but His Majesty the Emperor was even more happy. The people were honest and simple. This was his own contribution to education. With a wave of his hand, he rewarded two oxen and ten pieces of brocade.
.With hundreds of copper coins, Wei Zheng smiled and personally awarded the emperor's reward plate to the veteran. With his poisonous eyes, he did not find anything wrong with it.
His Majesty the Emperor personally viewed the old peach tree and examined the pattern. Sure enough, as Wang Gui said, a "Picture of Lao Tzu's Leaving Seclusion" suddenly appeared on the dead wood stake as thick as a bowl. The beard and hair were clearly distinguishable.
It was full of ancient meaning and definitely not man-made. I immediately paid homage to it. Unfortunately, the peach tree was dead, so I ordered people to cut off the branches of the peach tree. It was kept as a treasure and kept in the palace, where incense was burned continuously during the four seasons and eight festivals.
Courtiers kept saying that such treasures needed to be stored in Laojun Temple. Laozi was the ancestor of Taoism, not only the ancestor of the royal family, but also the ancestor of all peoples. He needed to receive the incense of all peoples. Li Er had no choice but to store the peach wood pile in
In Laojun Temple, the people of Chang'an suddenly flocked to Laojun Temple, and the gate of Laojun Temple had to be opened day and night to welcome pilgrims from all directions.
As soon as this thing came out, all the gods and Buddhas in Chang'an were eclipsed. No new gods and Buddhas were born in a short period of time. As a result, Wannian County Magistrate was promoted to the third level and went to Huainan to serve as governor.
In the bathhouse of Huangshu's house, Yun Ye lay naked on the bamboo bed. Huangshu wiped his back vigorously. When Yun Ye's whole body was as red as a steamed crab, he got into the clear water again and floated out of the water.
He took out the warm rice wine from the wooden barrel on the water, took a sip, and said softly to the yellow mouse sitting opposite: "Forget about this matter, let it disappear in this way in the future. Once it is spread, you will
There seems to be no burial place."
"Master Marquis, this is a method only used by gods. How can a vulgar person like me learn it? The yellow rat relies on the academy to gain a new life. I won't betray the academy even if I don't care about my life."
Yun Ye smiled, got up, dried his body and dressed, and then left the bathhouse. There were too many secrets in the Tang Dynasty, and one more was nothing. After receiving thousands of years of incense, that wooden stake might really
Become a god, who knows.
Xuanzang will enter the city tomorrow. I wonder if there will be a grand scene of tens of thousands of people paying homage in the streets? A balanced fight would be interesting, otherwise it would be too boring for Xuanzang to perform a one-man show.
Si Tianjian reported to His Majesty the Emperor like crazy. They found that almost all of the princes had extraordinary backgrounds, especially His Royal Highness. Li Er gritted his teeth and listened to Si Tianjian's praise of the princes, and returned to the harem with a frown on his face.
Looking at Li Chengqian, he thought that the prince really lacked grace in doing this.
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly. Li Tai walked out and said to his father: "Father, please don't blame this on my eldest brother. I was the one who forced Si Tianjian to submit these memorials. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, the children will think
kill."
"Wouldn't it be better to say that you are Lord Wenquxing who has descended to earth? It is always a good sign for the royal family. If you make such nonsense, wouldn't it be a joke? You are so frivolous and ignorant."
"Father, it is natural to say that the child has achieved what he has today because of the blessings of his ancestors. It is nonsense to say that the child is something like a star king who descended to earth. The child's flesh and blood were given by his father and mother. His knowledge is the result of my husband's teachings and my own
Learning is something that only comes from hard study, so what shortcuts are there? Si Tianjian calls the knowledge that the child has learned so hard as a gift from heaven, which is an insult to the child. Moreover, doing so does not do any good to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. No
Let them make a fool of themselves, and the child will not be able to vent his anger."
Li Er also laughed bitterly. A good thing was turned into a joke by Li Tai. If anyone talks about Wenqu Xingjun again now, he will definitely attract ridicule from everyone, including Li Tai himself.
The academy was not idle either. Sun Simiao's "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" was opened and printed into countless single pages according to the different prescriptions. The junior students of the academy specially held a large pile of them and distributed them around during the days of rest.
, the people of Chang'an have never seen such a good thing. Everyone is scrambling for a single page. Regardless of whether they are literate or not, they all want to get a prescription prescribed by Sun Shenxian. In the future, they will have room to brag. Sun Shenxian is at home.
A masterpiece.
Yun Ye did not intend for everyone in Chang'an to know how to see a doctor, but the hygiene knowledge taught above is the top priority, such as drinking raw water, washing hands before meals and after using the toilet, garbage disposal, disease prevention, and even the prevention and control of plague.
There are also simple protective measures. Chang'an County did not fish for sacred trees, but took Mr. Sun's opinions as a priority. The county magistrate personally went to the streets, assigned tasks, cleaned up culverts, and ordered people to fill in many stagnant pools. Mr. Sun said
, mosquitoes and flies breed from these stagnant pools, which are the source of all diseases.
Xuanzang still came to Beijing, and officials from Honglu Temple came out to welcome him thirty miles away. Xiao Yu, as Xuanzang's main sponsor, of course went there in person. Li Xiaogong also took Li Huairen with him. How could such a lively event be without Yun Ye, and
Shan Ying and the two of them, each carrying a young master from the Yun family on their necks, came to the Zhuque Gate, chose a good place, and waited to see the arrival of the holy monk that everyone was talking about.
There were a lot of people, but they were far from the empty streets recorded in history books. Seeing Xuanzang riding a white horse coming out of the city gate from a distance, Yun Ye almost didn't recognize that the human-shaped monk was a heroic figure in his early years.
The dashing Xuanzang, riding a horse with a majestic appearance, although as black as briquettes, has a compassionate temperament in his bones. He is draped in a bright red cassock. Daoxin is leading the horse in front, and behind him are four men with white beards and long eyebrows.
The old monk kept chanting sutras, and a boy in colorful clothes kept scattering flower petals from the basket. They were all chrysanthemums, and the ground was covered with golden color.
I don’t know how many rudbeckias the monks destroyed, but in short, a golden road was formed from the far end of the road to the city gate. Xuanzang dismounted. Naturally, someone knelt down and was willing to be a stepping stone. Xuanzang stepped on this person
He dismounted from the horse and actually touched his head to give him a blessing. Yun Ye watched helplessly as the dismounted man shook his head and fainted with happiness.
"Pig, pig, daddy, pig!" Yun Bao'er, who was around Yun Ye's neck, grabbed his father's hair and asked him to look at the pig. Yun Ye looked at it strangely. There couldn't be a pig demon really appearing, right?
Damn, there really is. Where did Xuanzang find these three followers? The first one wears a peacock golden crown. Although he is dark and thin like a monkey, he is still a bit of a monk when he wears a cassock and a golden crown.
The appearance of the two people behind them is impossible to see. One of them has a belly as big as a drum, short limbs, a dark face, thick lips turned outwards, and nostrils turned upward. Rainbow Dash really found the most suitable word to describe this person.
The last monk was carrying a huge burden. He was tall and thick, with hair curling all over his body. His bare chest was covered with dark curly hair. Yun Ye strongly suspected that this person had not fully evolved yet, but looking at him
Carrying a heavy burden, but his feet were unusually light, he poked Shan Ying and asked: "Is this guy a top master?"
Shan Ying's face was solemn, and he whispered to Yun Ye: "It's just a burden bearer. The one wearing the golden crown is definitely a master of steel and iron bones. Although he is thin and small, he is the strongest master among the three.
."
"You won't tell me that the fat man who looks like a pig is also a master, right?" Legend has it that the three servants who came back with Tang Seng were all very skilled. Could it be that this fat man really has the skills of Zhu Bajie?
"No, that fat man is just a servant and doesn't know martial arts. How can there be so many masters in the world? I just don't know how high the martial arts of the one wearing the golden crown is."
"Want to give it a try? Don't worry, there is a chance. If Xuanzang didn't have an academy during his trip to Chang'an, I would despise him. You must know that our academy is not an ordinary person now. If he wants to promote Dharma in Chang'an, he can't get around the academy.
,Besides, Xuanzang still owes me a promise, he will come."
After watching Strange People, Yun Ye naturally had no interest in watching those fanatical believers worshiping Xuanzang. He took Shan Ying back to the restaurant, preparing to have some food before going home.
As soon as the food was served, the screen surrounding the dining table was opened, and Daoxin, who had just been leading the horse below, walked in, saluted and said: "Marquis Yun, your old friend has returned from thousands of miles away, why is he hiding in the dark and not seeing me?
"
"Master Daoxin, today's grand gathering belongs to Xuanzang and Buddhism. Yun Ye is a secular person. It is naturally inconvenient to meet him at this moment. When the prosperity fades away and Xuanzang restores the tranquility of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha,
, I will naturally visit you and listen to the exotic customs." (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go and read.)
