"If we can't get what you want, the donor will destroy the Daming Temple. Aren't you afraid of the Buddha's punishment? Your ancestor is still asking Dharma in the Main Hall at this time. Such a different person still asks for the blessing of the Buddha. Marquis Yun,
Aren’t you worried about what the world will say?”
Yun Ye was very embarrassed when asked by the black-faced monk. He touched his nose and said: "My ancestor believed in Buddhism, so he worshiped sincerely. Yun Ye didn't believe it, so he acted wantonly. What's more, this is not considered wanton. It's a temple with a lot of incense."
, but it is a gathering place for pirates. The largest group of pirates in the South China Sea also has a deep connection with the Daming Temple. Monk, as the commander of the navy, it is my bounden duty to protect the family and the people. Now, as long as the sea map is
For the sake of my ancestors, otherwise, a huge army will come."
Han Zhe looked at Yun Ye strangely and whispered: "Aren't we also going to be pirates? Why are you talking about the imperial court? I know you are very shameless, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless."
There was finally movement on the black-faced monk's calm face, and he sighed and said: "The poor monk has long known that this is inappropriate. Good and evil will naturally be rewarded. Although Kuangyue Monk came from this temple, he has been expelled from the sect. What he has done now
It probably has nothing to do with this temple. There is indeed no sea map of the donor in the Daming Temple."
Yun Ye took two steps in the Sutra Pavilion, put down the star chart in his hand, and said to the old monk: "There is no way to bring blessings and misfortunes. You only bring them upon yourself. Yun Ye really can't do the thing of destroying the temple and destroying the family. You can't do it."
Since I said no, let me just believe it. I came here to try my luck this time. I tried to reason with you clearly, but you thought I was doing evil. Old monk, although my methods are a bit abominable, you don’t know that I am trying to save you.
Ming Temple."
After saying that, he smiled and walked out of the Sutra Pavilion. Hanzhe and Gouzi looked at each other and walked out, leaving only an old monk with a gloomy expression.
After leaving the Sutra Pavilion, Yun Ye seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his visit. He chatted and laughed with Hanzhe Gouzi and wandered around the temple. There was a small pavilion not far away. There was a spring in the pavilion. The spring was not big and gurgling.
The water flowed out from the cracks in the stone and overflowed the well mouth. Then it flowed down the cliff along the stone wall. Yun Ye knew that this was the famous fifth spring. Anyone who likes to drink tea would not make tea here.
Liu Jinbao had been following Yun Ye. When he went out in the morning, Yun Ye had prepared tea sets. They didn't know how cold the spring water was. How could Yun Ye, who had always liked drinking tea in his previous life, not know the benefits of this place.
Baotu Spring is the first spring in the world, Wuxi Huishan Huiquan is the second spring in the world. Hangzhou Hupao Spring is the third spring in the world, Shangrao Guangjiao Temple Luyu Spring is the fourth spring in the world, and Yangzhou Pingshantang Daming Temple Spring is the fifth spring in the world. According to legend,
These are the springs most suitable for making tea. Nowadays, with good water and good tea leaves, you would be sorry if you didn’t make a pot of tea.
The servants quickly set up a small stove with a fire eye the size of a fist. Gouzi picked a few dry pine cones and Yun Ye threw them into the stove. After a while, light blue flames emerged from the fire eyes.
When he came out, a copper pot with a peculiar style was placed on the eye of the fire. Yun Ye said to Han Zhe: "I heard before that the spring water in Daming Temple is very suitable for making tea. Now let's try it, but it's a pity that there is good water. Okay.
Tea is really a waste if there are no good tea drinkers."
Hanzhe sat down opposite and said, "You are so irritating that you are so sluggish that you are cheating people with tea. Who told you that the spring water here is very suitable for making tea? Who can tell the difference?"
Yun Ye shook his head helplessly and said: "I rarely do things right now. When I was young, I was frivolous and thought that I was right and everyone else was wrong. Now I slowly think that everyone is justified in everything they do.
, so I lost the arrogance I had in my youth. As an adult, I learned to see things from other people’s perspectives, so it’s inevitable for my mother-in-law to be a bit like my mother-in-law.”
The black-faced monk came from behind the pavilion and said: "I have long heard that Marquis Yun is good at making tea. I wonder if the old monk will be lucky enough to ask for a cup of fragrant tea to moisten his dry heart?"
"Hahaha, I just said that there is good tea and water, but there is a lack of good tea drinkers. Master, hurry up and take a seat. The water is above the stove, and the fragrant tea is right in front of you. I will not disappoint you."
The black-faced monk took his seat calmly, took out a few green oranges from his sleeves, put them on the low table and clasped his hands together, then said: "The mountain temple is cold and there is nothing to entertain guests. I just passed by the orange grove and picked a few oranges.
Please also ask Marquis Yun to taste it."
Yun Ye looked at the cyan oranges, which were only the size of a baby's fist. How can such oranges be eaten? He sighed and said, "Master, don't do any more testing. Yun Ye came here this time with two wishes. One is to accompany his family."
The ancestors offered incense, and the Taoist Master personally held the ceremony. It was naturally a supreme honor. Secondly, he really came here for the sea map. The Daming Temple has a lot of treasures, and people from all walks of life will definitely come to covet it. It's okay now, the people who come
The monks in the temple can still be dealt with, but once it attracts the attention of the powerful departments of the country, it will be difficult for the Daming Temple to survive alone.
Yun Ye couldn't figure it out. Haitu could do a lot of harm to the Daming Temple but not a single benefit. Why should he cling to these useless wastes? "
The black-faced monk smiled and said nothing, but this time he did not deny the existence of the sea map. He just took a few sour oranges and warned Yun Ye that if he tried to eat the Daming Temple, his mouth would be full of soreness. Seeing that Yun Ye already knew,
Be more confident.
Although they are outsiders, they know nothing less about the situation in the court than others. Yun Ye left the capital in panic. Although there are many doubts in this, it is a definite fact that Yun Ye failed in the struggle, so he bet on Yun Ye.
Ye didn't dare to be presumptuous.
The water was overflowing and it was time to make tea. Yun Ye washed the tea cup, roasted the tea leaves, and poured it over the tea. The light green tea was put in a white porcelain cup, full of fragrance. Yun Ye took the bamboo tongs to finish the portioning.
Tea, signaling everyone to drink tea.
The black-faced monk took the tea and put it to his nose and sniffed it. His face was full of admiration. He slowly drank a sip of tea, returned the cup and said, "It is an unparalleled product."
Drinking three cups of tea in a row is enough. Anything more is what people call drinking cows. The servants took the tea set to the spring to wash it. Yun Ye then said: "Since there are already people in the temple who want to travel east or west to spread the Dharma,
Thoughts, Yun Ye really has nothing to say, but things like waterways need constant correction and improvement. To rush across the sea after only one trip is to tie your life to the crotch of God. There is no guarantee. Daming Temple
Now that you have your own ideas, I wish you all the best."
Originally, Yun Ye didn't understand the significance of Daming Temple's request for a sea map. When he was sharing tea just now, he suddenly remembered who the Daming Temple was enshrined in later generations. It suddenly dawned on him that the person enshrined in it was the famous Jianzhen monk.
The greatest achievement of the monk was to cross the sea to spread the Dharma and spread Buddhism to Japan.
After crossing once without success, he crossed six times. The last time he went into the sea despite being blind and already sixty-six years old, he succeeded. Yun Ye couldn't help but admire such a strong desire to spread the Dharma. Daming Temple is very
Obviously preparations have begun now, because a hundred years later, Monk Jianzhen will be the abbot of Daming Temple.
For the first time, terror appeared on the face of the black-faced monk, but Yun Ye was in a waning mood. He paid such a high price not to conquer the ocean and create a channel, but to promote Buddhism. However, the history of later generations will not affect this.
This kind of behavior is highly praised,
The magnificent Daming Temple in later generations is proof of this. However, those maritime merchants who appeared in the same period were expelled by the government and had no way to go to heaven or earth. They cut off their heads and said they were doing harm to the people.
I have become accustomed to living on the yellow land, and I am full of fear of the blue sea. I always feel that I can only feel stable when I step on the earth. I am not the Hercules in the ancient Greek legend. Why do I have to put my heels on the earth?
"Marquis Yun thinks this is inappropriate?" the black-faced monk cautiously asked the unhappy Yun Ye.
"Whatever, take such a big risk to spread Buddhism. That is your wish. Anyone who has a wish is respectable. No matter what the wish is, monk, you want to cross the sea and I want to go into the sea. There is no conflict. The sea chart is
I will make a copy. The Lingnan Navy knows nothing about the outer sea. In the future, when we break through new waterways, I will leave a copy to you."
The black-faced monk nodded helplessly. This was Yun Ye's bottom line. If they continued to be ignorant, Baiqisi's men would take over. He knew this very well.
The old lady finished worshiping the Buddha and was ready to return to the city with satisfaction. After Yun Ye and the Taoist monk high-fived each other, they also left Daming Temple. Ten days later, Yun Ye would have the nautical charts of Daming Temple, but in his opinion, those charts
It must be extremely imperfect. Monk Jianzhen went to Japan six times and spent decades before he succeeded. He didn't know what kind of garbage it would be.
Returning to the house Zheng Shuang prepared for him, Xin Yue and the others hadn't come back yet. Along the way, Han Zhe wanted to ask Yun Ye how he guessed that those monks were going to cross the sea to teach the Dharma. Seeing Yun Ye's face as gloomy as water, he asked
I never asked.
After returning to the house and lying on the bamboo chair with Yun Ye, he asked in a low voice: "I don't realize how much smarter you are than me. Why can you think of the ideas of the monks of Daming Temple? Why can't I?"
Yun Ye turned his back and said nonchalantly: "Hanzhe, there is no way to measure intelligence. What I think of intelligence probably refers to the sum of knowledge, insight, and life experience. I don't doubt your knowledge. You
I don't doubt your knowledge. What you lack is experience in dealing with people. Take your time. I heard that the sea is the most moody. Once you master the ocean, you will probably be able to master the hearts of the world.
I have heard people say before that the ocean is wider than the continent, the sky is wider than the ocean, and the human mind is wider than the sky. This can also be said in reverse, until your mind embraces the world.
, you will be invincible."
Han Zhe didn't understand. Yun Ye himself didn't know what he wanted to express. How could he understand it? Han Zhe just thought this sentence made sense. If it made sense, he always wanted to understand it. This is a smart person.
