A slut like me, who is obsessed with money, works hard for beauty, and surrenders to the power of the organization, will only stop using a bottle of good body soap or shampoo until she is embarrassed.
**Si, if you can't let go of the obsession in your heart, you may never be able to be as free and easy as he is. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.
Let's get back to the topic. After passing n "Tourist Stop" signs, we arrived at a secluded place deep in the temple. Mingjue bowed to me and said that the abbot was inside, please move on your own, so I resigned.
I thanked him and walked into the door of this Buddhist temple with a very uneasy mentality.
A Buddhist chant like a bell rang out, and I followed the sound. A middle-aged master with kind eyebrows, kind eyes, broad mind, and a fat body, with a solemn appearance and a colorful cassock came out of the side door. I quickly put my hands together and saluted, saying
: "Master, this junior is polite. This junior made a mistake. I hope you will be tolerant, Master."
The master smiled and said: "I heard that the donor was very sincere in worshiping the Buddha. He did not hesitate to imitate the ancients and lay down under the tree to wait quietly. If so, what is wrong?" As he said that, he stretched out his hand to signal to me.
sit down.
I thanked him and said: "Today I saw the master's treasure, I suddenly felt moved. The Buddha said, break the obsession. In order to see the master, the younger generation went into the realm of delusion and did such obsessive behavior, but they inevitably fell into the lower vehicle.
I also disturbed the master's Qing Dynasty. It is really a mistake. I don't know if the master can forgive me?"
The master smiled and did not answer, but told me his Dharma name "Xujian", and I also told me my name. The master talked to me for a while, and talked about a Buddhist passage. Every word was precious, every sentence was enlightening, and the order was
I felt enlightened and enlightened. Seeing that the conversation started, I had time to ask: "Jinshan heard that Jinshan, formerly known as Kangcheng in ancient times, has a long history. There are many folk experts who focus on
Some achievements have been made in researching this period of history, but I wonder if there is such a theory?"
Master Xujian suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Where did Donor Lin hear about this matter?"
"I heard it from a friend of mine. To be honest, Master, I am also very interested in the story here in Jinshan. I thought Shanghai was a young city, but I never imagined that it has such a long history. If Master knew,
I dare you to give me some advice."
Master Xujian looked at me, his clear eyes seemed to see through my heart, and said: "I listened to the donor's speech, which was quite ancient, but it can be seen that he is a person who has studied history for a long time. Since you ask, you might as well tell the donor, indeed
There is this matter. However, the relevant research has not yet been written into a book, and the circumstances are complicated and involve many battles in the secular world. Therefore, the donor should not let outsiders know."
When I heard the phrase "battle in the secular world", I couldn't help but feel a shiver in my heart: Could this be referring to the struggle between Mrs. Yin's organization and Chen Ziqi and the black hands behind her? Or is there more involved that I don't even know about, or can't even understand?
Imaginary things? He quickly said: "This junior is just very curious about historical matters. Although this kind of obsession is also against the principles of Buddhism, I really can't help it. Please tell me, Master."
Master Xujian told me that the reason why he knew these things was precisely because of the Wanshou Temple. Although the Wanshou Temple was known to be built in the Song Dynasty, it was only because at that time, Qian Mi, the extremely wealthy King of Wuyue in the Five Dynasties, and his grandson Qian Mi
During the Song Dynasty, Chao Zuo invested tens of thousands of dollars to rebuild the Wanshou Temple, and made a major change to the Maitreya Buddha statue in the Tianwang Hall. He made the image of his great-uncle Chen Qichi, the "Budai Monk" in Fenghua, Zhejiang Province, into the Maitreya Buddha, and personally inscribed a couplet on it.
: "A big belly can accommodate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world; a cheerful face can laugh at the funny things in the world." The horizontal comment is: "A smile is always open to welcome new guests." Since then, this couplet and the Maitreya statue in Wanshou Temple have become classics handed down from generation to generation.
It influenced almost all the Maitreya Buddha statues in temples and literature, film and television works after that, so everyone thinks that Wanshou Temple was built in the Song Dynasty.
In fact, the Wanshou Temple was built during the Three Kingdoms period. It was ordered by Sun Quan, the Emperor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, one of the three most powerful heroes in the world at that time. According to legend, Sun Quan's mother Wu Longzhen lost her parents when she was young. She could not bear the cynicism of her aunt, so she left the temple.
The brothers and sisters went to their aunt in Kangcheng and were favored by their aunt's family, so they were able to learn poetry, classics, theory and etiquette. Later, Sun Quan became emperor, and Wu Longzhen was honored as the empress dowager.
In order to repay the nurturing kindness of her aunts when they were in trouble in Kangcheng, Sun Quan's mother Wu Longzhen asked Sun Quan to send people to Kangcheng to pick up the two elders and serve them. Unexpectedly, her aunt, who had been widowed for a long time, was unwilling to leave her hometown and go north.
Therefore, Sun Quan ordered the local officials to renovate his old house into a Buddhist courtyard. It took three years to complete the Buddhist courtyard. Sun Quan granted his maternal aunt the title of "Mrs. Wanshou Protecting the Country" and wrote the three characters "Wanshou Yuan" in gold, which was made into a giant
A plaque was hung on the Hall of Eternal Life in the courtyard, allowing my maternal grandfather and aunt to cultivate themselves in the courtyard. After that, Sun Quan also sent his younger siblings to the Wanshou Courtyard many times to bless them. After the death of the Protector of the Country, the Wanshou Courtyard became a holy place for Buddhist believers to worship and offer incense, and was renamed "
Wanshou Temple".
In the Song Dynasty, Kangcheng suffered a catastrophic disaster and the land fell into the sea, leaving only the three islands of Jinshan. The Wanshou Temple also sank together and was rebuilt in a different place. In addition, the image of Maitreya Buddha and the couplet became famous far and wide, so that people paid more attention to the previous
I don’t know much about its history.
After Master Xujian finished speaking, I was so shocked that I broke into a cold sweat:
Cannes, see Cannes again.
To be honest, Mingying and Li Yubo are both too young and have inextricable connections with the organization, so I don’t dare to believe their words. Maybe, this is all the organization, especially the enigmatic Yin Ru
Old lady, does Cannes, which you made up to fool me, exist? And did it really sink into the sea because of the mysterious curse of 30 degrees north latitude? I have always been skeptical. Now, this mysterious name has been wiped off the map.
From the words of this respected and knowledgeable abbot about the city I went to, I had no choice but to believe it, and I believed it without a doubt.
Moreover, Master Xujian focused on Sun Quan, the Great Emperor of Soochow, which can be connected with the history mentioned by Li Yubo before. Because he once said that the Governor of Soochow and Prime Minister Lu Xun were also sealed in Kangcheng. From this point of view,
, Li Yubo told various stories about historical celebrities and Kangcheng, starting from King Yu who existed in prehistoric civilization, including Zhuan Xue, Zhou Kang Wang Jizhao, Wu Zixu, Chun Shen Jun Huang Xie and Yue Wang Gou Jian.
It is true.
Then, Xi Shi's tomb is probably located here.
I asked Master Xujian: "I once heard from a friend that a family that lived in Kangcheng, Yunjian, for many years wrote a genealogy and recorded the history of Kangcheng, Yunjian in detail. Is this true?
"
Master Xujian's body shook slightly, and after a long time, he said to me: "How could such a secret thing... be spread out? Amitabha, if this matter were known to the world, wouldn't something big happen? Donor Lin
, who are you, and what is the purpose of coming here?"
After hearing this, I was very upset. I didn’t expect that Master Xujian would talk about this genealogy in such a shocking way. It seemed that I had said the wrong thing unintentionally. I didn’t know what to say.
As they were going down, Master Xujian suddenly said: "Donor Lin, I have a question to ask."
I saw him opening his mouth, and I was worried that he was going to issue an order to expel the guest, but I didn't expect him to speak like this, so I quickly said: "I don't dare, I don't dare. Even if you tell me, master, I will tell you everything you know, and I will say everything you say."
"I was looking out the window in the side room just now. I saw you and Mingjue walking together and chatting happily. However, I saw that your expression suddenly changed and you looked worried. Can you tell me what happened?"
Unexpectedly, Master Xujian had already seen me before I entered the room. What he said reminded me of my thoughts about "all living beings are equal" and my inability to break my attachment.
Confused and entangled by desires and the world, I couldn't help but bow to him and spoke out my previous thoughts in detail.
After hearing this, Master Xujian pondered for a moment and said: "To be honest with the donor, I saw your sudden change of expression before, and then asked about Kangcheng and the genealogy, and thought you were a person with malicious intentions. Listening to what you just said,
In addition, looking at the look on your face, it is really a heartfelt statement. It shows that the donor has compassion for all living beings, and also feels that his own appearance is false. He does have the wisdom of Prajna, and he is definitely not a treacherous person. The so-called history is passed down by word of mouth. If you know it, please keep it secret.
, if you keep silent forever, history will disappear. No matter what, this matter must be passed down. Today is destined, I will tell the donor to know."
I leaned forward and listened attentively.
Master Xujian sat on his chair and said with a solemn expression: "Donor Mo Dao has kept this family tree a secret. It is indeed of great importance. Donor, do you know Huang Xin?"
I shook my head to show that I didn't know.
"In ancient Kangcheng, there was a mansion called Huang Gongfu. The famous Huang family lived in this mansion for generations. The ancestor of the Huang family, named Huang Xin, originally lived in Shangwufang, Anbo Street, Kangcheng. Huang Xin was very smart since he was a child.
He advocated literature and martial arts, and was good at sailing. During the Yuanshou period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he served as a star official at the Kangcheng Star Observatory. He often squatted on Jinshan Mountain outside Kangcheng and watched the stars on Wangpan Mountain all night long. After serving as a star official for more than thirty years, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty
In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, Huang Xin followed the order and led his youngest son Huang Xuancao and more than 30 senior sailors to prepare their living expenses. They took a huge official ship into the sea and sailed eastward for nine years, living by fishing, hunting and seeking help from foreign residents.
, every time he saw a foreigner, he was always courteous. After nine years of sailing, the stars were oriented, and he actually arrived in the Western Regions. When he arrived at Fandou City, he abandoned the ship and landed and returned. At this time, only twelve followers, including Huang Xin, survived.
Later, he wrote three volumes of "Astronomical Wonders". At this time, Huang Xin was old and experienced many hardships in sailing. He was also puzzled by the mystery of going east and returning to the west. He was frightened all day long and suffered from severe sensory diseases.
, died of madness.”
When I heard this, I was so surprised that I couldn't help but smile: If this is true, this Huang Xin actually completed an orbit around the earth. In the second year of the first year of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, that is, 85 BC, nine years later
, that is, in 76 BC, nearly 1,600 years before Magellan’s fleet completed its circumnavigation of the earth! I can’t help but ask: “Master, I don’t know: Was the shipbuilding technology at that time so advanced? Besides, how could it be possible to circumnavigate the earth in this way?
Why is this feat not recorded in the annals of history?”
Master Xujian said: "I think our country is vast, our civilization is splendid, and the wisdom of the ancients is no less than that of today's people. At that time, Emperor Qin ordered Xu Fu to go to sea to search for the elixir of youth, and he was able to reach Japan. Sun Quan, the great emperor of Soochow, was there
The Qinglong warship was built at Wusongkou and patrolled the rivers and seas, making Meng De's millions of troops afraid to peep south. What a momentum! This ship inherited the exquisite shipbuilding skills of the Han Dynasty. As for why Huang Xin's feat is not recorded in the annals of history, let me explain slowly.
.”
I knew that this historical story had reached a crucial point, so I couldn't help but move my body and sit upright to listen.
