Mingjue perked up and asked, "Is this Buddhist temple dedicated to Padmasambhava?"
This cannot be hidden, Zhao Ran nodded again: "Indeed."
Mingjue couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and sighed: "It's true! Perhaps Taoist Master Zhao doesn't know that this matter is nothing to the Taoist sect, but to my Buddhist sect, its significance is not trivial."
Zhao Ran quickly clarified: "The temple is empty, there is nothing there, it's not worth mentioning."
Mingjue was stunned and asked: "Have the murals been preserved? Where are the Buddhist niches? Where are the Buddha statues?"
Zhao Ran weighed it for a moment and said vaguely: "I didn't pay attention to this. I just glanced at it in a hurry that day. You know that I am a Taoist monk and I don't care much about your Buddhist things. I seem to have reserved some...
At that time, Master Tongwei Xianhua, Patriarch Longyang, and the Lord of Qingshan all said that they wanted to tear down the temple and rebuild my Taoist temple..."
Mingjue immediately exclaimed: "This is absolutely impossible!"
Zhao Ran laughed and said, "What's wrong with this? It's useless for my Taoist sect to bring it."
Mingjue calmed down, thought for a while, and said: "If it really needs to be demolished, then my Buddhist sect should send people to demolish it. Every brick and tile can be preserved, and the murals and carved beams can be restored. I don't know.
Can you please be accommodating?"
After making a little joke, Zhao Ran stopped teasing Ming Jue and said, "Is it so troublesome? Forget it, we won't demolish it and let this Sutra-Brushing Temple be preserved for the time being."
Mingjue wiped his sweat, nodded and said, "It's best not to move if you can. This is the right way."
Zhao Ran said: "Then go on, what does it mean to mention Shujing Temple?"
Mingjue said: "What I, Tianlongyuan, want to do is to send people to the Sutra Temple to pay homage to the Buddha statue of Padmasambhava, trace the murals in the temple, and copy the scriptures. I will not hide the records of Padmasambhava from the Taoist Priest.
Buddhism has its shortcomings. Many of them are legends and are not reliable. If your sect agrees, this "Wuji Tu" will belong to your sect."
"Two piles for one, Tianlongyuan made a good calculation."
"The Promise is worthy of it!"
Zhao Ran also believed that "The Promise Picture" was worthy of the asking price, not to mention that the golden bowl was originally returned with the Xuanci Hongti. The original plan was to give it away for free. If he could get back a "Promise Picture", it would be a big deal.
A huge surprise. This is not only a relic of Lou Guan, it can be called a Taoist treasure!
But how should he meet Cheng An? Zhao Ran thought about it, but still got nothing, so he closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and got the "Promise Picture" first, and then thought of another way to deal with Cheng An. Ten Birds
In the forest, it is better to have a bird in your hand!
So he said: "Change it! But it is not allowed for your Buddhist sect to send people to paint the sutra temple, trace the murals, and copy the sutras."
Mingjue was stunned, not knowing why.
Zhao Ran enlightened: "I like to write in my spare time, and exchange calligraphy techniques with my pen pals... Masters who have a rich foundation in calligraphy are among the poor friends."
Mingjue understood, clasped his hands and said, "Young monk must go and pay a visit." After saying that, he put away the square wooden box, said goodbye and went out. This time, he looked at Zhao Ran reluctantly.
Zhao Ran was also very uneasy. He privately promised Mingjue to enter the Sutra Monastery as a pen pal. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong. But in front of the Taoist treasure "The Promise Picture", few people could control it, and neither did Zhao Ran.
exception.
If Zhao Ran wants to really get these things, he can only go to Tianlongyuan and hand over the rainbow body and golden bowl. In fact, he does not refuse to complete the exchange now, and goes back home without even going to Xingqing, but
Buddhism firmly disagrees with this - it is too hasty, and such "Meng Lang's behavior" will be harmful to the perfect holding of Tianlongyuan Dharma Conference.
No matter where you go, procedures and rituals are a must! What's more, Zhao Ran himself has become an indispensable link in the planned Tianlongyuan Dharma Conference.
The Dharma conference convened by Hongdao in Lingzhou was very successful. For Buddhist believers, the Nirvana of Xuanci is undoubtedly the best object of prayer, just like the newly ascended Zhang Laodao to the people of the Ming Dynasty.
The authentic relic of the Buddha's body was revealed to the world. Who wouldn't come to worship? After the Buddhist ceremony, the participating Buddhist monks and believers all kowtowed in the direction of the guest house where Zhao Ran was temporarily staying. The scene was very lively.
Zhao Ran sometimes also wonders whether returning the rainbow body is right or wrong for the Taoist sect? In exchange for some benefits, he is willing to let the other party's confidence grow crazily. Is this really a good thing? But then he thought again.
, Mutual exchange is reciprocal. If you deduct the other party’s today, the other party will be able to deduct yours tomorrow. When you think about this, you will feel relieved.
According to Tianlongyuan's plan, Zhao Ran and others will stay in Lingzhou for four days.
Lingzhou was originally an important town in the Tang Dynasty. After Buddhism moved westward, it became the headquarters of the Xia Kingdom's Xiangqing Military Division. Together with Xingqing, it was known as the East and West Capitals. It was a large Western Xia city comparable to the capital of Xingqing.
Zhao Ran had stayed in Xingqing Mansion for a year and a half, and knew that Lingzhou was where the Tuoba family of Dangxiang made his fortune. Not only was the Xiangqing military division stationed there in charge of the Li family, but the upper-class nobles of the Li family were basically entrenched in the city.
Therefore, for the young leader Li Qianshun, Lingzhou was Li's basic base and the most solid guarantee for him to occupy the position of leader.
When Zhao Ran was in Cheng'an, he stood on the side of the Hou Clan and was an out-and-out Hou Party member. He did not have a good impression of the Imperial Party, not only for business reasons, but also because there were many members of the Imperial Party.
The largest anti-Ming faction in Xixia—most of them are Ming people who defected.
Of course, now that Zhao Ran is an envoy, he and Zhang Juzheng, who is also the deputy envoy, can't go anywhere. They can only wait obediently in the official post where they are temporarily staying, waiting for the next arrangement of Tianlongyuan, so he can't see these things either.
Li family nobles.
Zhao Ran could not see anyone. In addition to dealing with Zhang Juzheng and Mingjue, his spare time was spent on refining his merit power. It had been more than a month since Wudang Mountain absorbed a large amount of merit power. He originally
The two golden elixirs that were full of merit power are now slightly better. Although they are still full, they finally no longer have "abdominal pain like cramping".
One hundred and eight drops of essence are generated in his body every day, and refining them all takes just a cup of tea. Most of the remaining time is spent doing nothing but drawing talisman, talisman, and talisman. He also doesn’t know how to draw the Golden Armor and Golden Soldier Talisman.
How many pictures did I buy to pass the time in my spare time?
On August 12, several more great monks came to Tianlongyuan. Zhao Ran silently noted this hall and that hall. He knew that this was the second wave of monks from Tianlongyuan to greet Hongti, and the person who was offering the ceremony was Xuancihong.
The body had nothing to do with him. In addition to the monks, there were also several high-ranking officials in the court. Among these people, he saw an acquaintance, Yushi Zhongcheng Fei Tingqingxia, one of the eight party members, a member of the Fei Ting family.
Boss.
Fei Tingqingxia was a centrist figure, neither a rear party nor an imperial party. As a welcoming representative of the Xixia court, he was in his proper place.
After the second wave of welcoming teams arrived, Zhao Ran and his party set off again. After two days of travel, they arrived in Xingqing on August 15th - August 16th was the Tianlongyuan Dharma Ceremony, and the time was just right.
Xingqing Mansion should not be too familiar to Zhao Ran. Looking up at the tall city gate, passing through the streets, and looking at the archways, Zhao Ran was in a daze. He had been away from Xingqing for nearly four years, but with the country's
The identity of the envoy came back in a grand manner, and the wonders of the world were really unpredictable.
