Chapter 62 Tianyi Temple
Recommended reading: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! …… This group of bald heads is really fast! ”
Xiao Yi has armor, court clothes, and a golden 'Wushuang Tinghou' seal, but no matter when and where, he has not forgotten his identity as a Taoist disciple, let alone the three arrow clusters left by the old Taoist master before he died, that is, the three last wishes!
First, assist the Lord and calm the war!
Second, have good thoughts and do less killing!
Third, revitalize the Daomen and inherit the legal system!
Of these three wishes, Xiao Yi did a good job in the first one, and the second one was not very good, and as for the third, he had no way to start at all!
'The Buddha rises and falls! ’
This is the real situation today, and it is also a turning point in the religious beliefs of the entire Eastern world.
Taoism, is the native religion of China, with a long history, has begun to rise since the pre-Qin era, advocating the doctrine of "rule by doing nothing" and the trinity of "heaven, earth and man", and is believed by the Chinese people, and plays an important role in culture, economy and politics.
For thousands of years, in order to pursue the Taoist propaganda of 'immortality', I don't know how many emperors will follow each other, spend countless money and energy, looking for immortal medicine, alchemy pills, and painting talismans, in order to enjoy eternal wealth, even the first emperor Qin Shi Huang, the heroic Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is no exception, afraid of death, human nature!
If the Taoist priests only studied the effects of heavy metals such as gold, silver, lead, and mercury, or drew a few more exorcism runes to be pioneers of 'abstract art', it would be fine, but a 'Yellow Turban Rebellion' made a mess of things.
Overnight, the situation changed abruptly, and the rulers of the Han Dynasty were surprised to find that those Taoist priests were not well-behaved, and they actually wanted to hold the floating dust in one hand and the big seal in the other, overthrow the original system, and establish a '********' kingdom of gods!
This is also good, although the ruling class has been promoting the so-called 'monarchy and divine acceptance', but when the disciples of these immortals really ask for power, they immediately waved the butcher's knife in their hands, suppressed with all their might, and showed no mercy, from the first year of 'Zhongping' to the present, a full decade, whether it is the central court, or the princes everywhere, has never relaxed the blow to Taoism, even Cao Cao has ordered several times to demolish the Taoist temple in Yanzhou, to prevent the remnants of the Yellow Turban from taking advantage of the situation to make chaos, a thousand years of religion, and the vitality is greatly damaged!
Taoism was suppressed, but the Chinese people can not live without spiritual beliefs, so since the 'Han Ming Emperor' Buddhism from the west, after more than two hundred years of lurking, took advantage of the situation, seized the spiritual world of the people, especially in the troubled times, the people were displaced, the status of the aristocracy was also precarious, people lived in great panic, and Buddhism's 'four are empty, reincarnation, good and evil are rewarded' doctrine and doctrine quickly penetrated into the hearts of the people and spread widely.
And these bald heads are also quite masterful, understand the truth of starting from the upper echelons of the regime, when they were in Luoyang, they preached among the powerful through the 'White Horse Temple', absorbing believers, and now the imperial court moved the capital to Xuchang, these bald heads followed and opened a 'Tianyi Temple', and the incense is prosperous, if it is like this for a long time, it is difficult for Taoism to turn over!
Just as Xiao Yi was standing at the door of the temple, wrinkling his little face, thinking about how to complete the third will of the old Taoist master, three young men dressed in white walked over with fluttering steps.
"I've seen the brother of the Xiao family!" The three teenagers approached and saluted with fists in their fists, but their postures were very non-standard, and they all had strange smiles on their faces.
"How did you guys get out?" Xiao Yi swept his eyes and immediately recognized what kind of teenager it was, it was clearly three beautiful girls, Cao Xian, Cao Jie, and Cao Hua were the three baby daughters of Prime Minister Cao Cao!
The three girls did not answer, but only pursed their lips and chuckled, and deliberately shook the man's clothes on their bodies, pretending to be a big man.
The social atmosphere of this era is open, the women have a lot of freedom, and Cao Cao is not the kind of rigid father, so he usually does not restrict the children from going out, but the sons are okay, if a few girls run around the street, it is not very elegant, so the three sisters discussed, changed Cao Pi's clothes, and ran out together!
I heard that the 'Tianyi Temple' is very lively, and the Buddha is also effective, so the three sisters came here to play, but they didn't expect to meet the Xiao family brothers and sisters at the door, so they naturally wanted to run over to say hello.
Moreover, there is a special relationship between the two sides, Cao Jie is still very satisfied with her father's arrangement, she is fifteen years old this year, and her mother, Mrs. Bian, said privately that in two years, when she is seventeen years old, she will marry out in style and become Mrs. Dudu!
However, she also knew that her two sisters were not dead, after all, like the elder brother of the Xiao family, who is young and heroic, considerate, and in a high position, Chenglong is too difficult to find, and no one wants to miss it, even if it is given to her own sisters!
Don't look at the three sisters in appearance are similar to their mothers, but in terms of personality, they all follow Cao Cao, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and have the courage to fight, so the sisters who seem to be a group of harmonious sisters are actually fighting openly and secretly?
As for the victory of the struggle, it is the 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang' who makes the world frightened in front of him! ’
"Naughty, come with me today!" Xiao Yi looked at the three little girls with a smile on his face, all of them were in the prime of life, with a spring flower-like face, one of them would become his main wife in the future, and as for the other two, they might also become his wife!
In this battle of Huainan, Xiao Yi had great merit but no reward, but Cao Cao privately promised that although he could not reward him with the title in the short term, he could let him choose one or two more of his daughters to be equal wives, or all three were also negotiable, which is much heavier than adding officials to the knighthood!
The five of them got together, and it was naturally a lot more lively, not to mention that four of them were still young girls, but before going in, Xiao Yi didn't forget to look around, and sure enough, more than a dozen figures hidden in the crowd entered his sight, looking at the body shape and movements, they were all good masters.
The three ladies of the Cao family went out, how could there be no one to protect them in secret, these people naturally also saw Xiao Yi, and they all secretly stretched out their right fingers and bent them slightly, which is the meaning of bowing down.
The task of the guards is to secretly protect the three young ladies from the harassment of those 'wild bees and butterflies', but Xiao Yi is naturally an exception, who in the prime minister's mansion does not know, these three flowers were originally prepared for Xiao Yi's 'black butterfly', he doesn't pick them, that's the problem.

The scale of Tianyi Temple is quite large, as soon as you enter the gate, it is Maitreya to welcome guests, a huge wooden carved Buddha statue is half lying there, with a big belly and a bare chest, and the smile is always open, and it looks so festive.
Next to the Buddha statue also hangs a 'peace bell', bronze casting, weighing hundreds of catties, it is said that knocking on it, you can bless the safety of the house, so pilgrims gathered, and even lined up in a long line, of course, the temple bell is not in vain, there is an alms box next to it, after expressing sincerity to the Buddha, the bell will work, I really don't know which clever monk came up with the method, and followed to two thousand years later......
"Big brother, why does this bald fat man have such a big belly? Still smiling so happily? Xiao Jing was obviously not a person who respected the gods, she was very curious about the Maitreya Buddha statue, and reached out to touch someone's stomach.
"Huh!"
"A big belly can tolerate it, and the world can tolerate it,"
"Laugh when you open your mouth, laugh at the ridiculous people in the world!"
Xiao Yi didn't know much Buddhism, but he still knew that the couplet hanging at the door of Kyoto's 'Tan Tuo Temple' in later generations was the most appropriate thing to say at this time.
Sure enough, as soon as this couplet containing Zen machine and philosophy came out, the eyes of several little girls suddenly lit up, and the little mouth kept repeating the silent recitation, and the more they read it, the more flavorful it became!
"Brother Xiao is really talented, both civil and military!" The Cao family sisters knew from their father and brother that Xiao Yi was very talented, and they were even more fascinated by the song "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but they knew from others that it was different from what they saw with their own eyes.
"Amitabha! The donor is really a person with deep Buddha fate, great wisdom, and great freedom! ”
A monk in his thirties walked over, with a ruddy face and a smile on his face, wearing a big red robe, a gray monk's robe, a rosary made of one hundred and eight Bodhi seeds on his neck, shining, and six ring scars on his bald head.
He also heard the conversation of Xiao Yi and others, especially the couplet containing Buddhism, which was even more refreshing, and the guest monk also secretly decided that he would report to the abbot master in a while, invite the stonemason to come, and engrave this couplet next to the Maitreya statue, which will definitely add a lot of glory to the temple!
As for these five people?
Just now he also secretly observed, although they are all plain clothes, but the four girls are beautiful, and their bodies are full of aura, at first glance, they are from the noble family, and they must not be taken lightly, as for the black-faced young man, standing there alone, his body is like a mountain, his eyes are like a ghost, he can't see through, he can't see through!
