Chapter 286: A Monk
People always have to make progress, although it is solid to explore step by step in a down-to-earth manner, but the existence of Xuan Shijing is a loophole, and it is nothing to occasionally open a plug-in.
Xuan Shijing stands on the shoulders of giants, then let these students on Zhuangzi stand on his shoulders Xuan Shijing, no matter what, the current Datang is no longer the original Datang.
"These are all sorted out and written by Benhou, you take them to the Institute of Engineering, let the craftsmen of the Institute of Engineering print eighty copies, remember, keep it secret, not a single bit can be passed out, you live in Chang'an for a few days, and after printing, you bring it back in person, there must be no mistakes, you know?" Xuan Shijing commanded with a serious face.
"Yes." Chang Le replied.
Thinking about it now, Xuan Shijing can also understand why I saw from books that those ancient Greek philosophers and the like would be tied up and burned to death, and the good girls were directly disfigured and beaten to death when they walked the streets.
Just like the Buddhist gates around Chang'an City, they were hit so hard under the iron fist of the imperial court, although there were not as many people in the temple as before, but there were fewer people who went to burn incense and pray? But no.
Now the three provinces and six ministries are only to rectify the Buddhist temples in Chang'an City, after the New Year, gradually began to spread to the periphery of Chang'an City, just to raid the temple, the treasury is sufficient again, even if the people of the household department are in the court, with a light smile on their faces.
The Datang treasury is rich, and the status of the household department naturally rises with the tide, and the financial power of the Tang Dynasty is in his hands.
The disaster of Buddhism and the grievances between Fahua Temple and Xuan Shijing were just a fuse.
Maybe it's not His Majesty Li Er, maybe it's not Li Chengqian in the future, no emperor will always watch Buddhism go on like this, it is estimated that from now on, Buddhism may become a pig raised by the Tang Dynasty.
Speaking of Buddhism, Datang is like a parent, and Buddhism is like a child.
Taoist priests in troubled times go down the mountain to help, monks close temples to avoid disasters, Taoist priests in prosperous times practice in seclusion, monks open the door to accept color, and the difference between the biological and the raised, is so big.
Throughout the famous mountains and rivers, the Taoist hall is repaired on the top of the mountain, the Taoist priest practice, need to adopt the aura of heaven and earth, the monk temple is built at the foot of the mountain or halfway up the mountain, because the believers are afraid of being tired and do not go to worship.
In the spring, the guests ushered in by Zhuangzi are not only the noblewomen of Chang'an City, these days Marshal Zhao and Fang Yiai have nothing to do, and they also took their families to live in Zhuangzi, and asked for two rooms in the inn where Zhuangzi was listed, no one is a person who is poor in money, living in the inn, not only free, but also convenient, if it is a residence, it is inevitable to make a big move to prepare, and bring a lot of people over, where to catch up with the two people to live in the world of two people to be comfortable?
The two came with their families, Xuan Shijing naturally wanted to do the friendship of the landlord, and the female dependents were brought by Jinyang to entertain, Xuan Shijing and these two found a restaurant in the market, sat down and chatted for a while.
"Your Zhuangzi is getting more and more lively, by the way, when I came today, I also saw the monks of Chang'an City coming here." Fang Yiai said.
"The monk of Chang'an City?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled: "What are they doing in Zhuangzi?" Could it be that you haven't suffered enough? ”
"I think it's just that I have suffered a lot, so I came to Zhuangzi, maybe I came to see Hou Ye." Marshal Zhao said: "After all, this matter was provoked by you, Master Hou. ”
"It's just self-inflicted." Xuan Shijing said: "Now there is nothing lacking in Zhuangzi, and there is no shortage of these monks, look outside, lakes, waterways, the scenery is unique, and then go to the west, the chickens and dogs smell each other, and the villagers are also happy, just say that the market in front of you, the wharf by the lake, the academy in the middle of the mountain, these things, which is not useful to the Zhuangzi farmers or people living in Dongshan County?" What about monks? What can you do? ”
"I think your prejudice against monks is too deep." Fang Yiai said.
It's not that he feels like this alone, people who have a good relationship with Xuan Shijing feel that Xuan Shijing is too harsh on Buddhism and monks, in fact, there are some things that turn a blind eye, hello, I'm good, everyone's good, and it's safe to pass, after all, it's good to see each other in the future, what happened a year ago, Xuan Shijing is forcing Buddhism to death.
Xuan Shijing looked at Fang Yiai, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Second Brother Fang, you have to thank my brother and me, otherwise your prejudice against monks is definitely not much less than mine." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Fang Yiai asked.
Xuan Shijing just shook his head and smiled: "Don't say, don't say it." ”
"Look outside, isn't that the monk we saw when we came?" A few people were sitting on the second floor of the restaurant facing the street by the window, Marshal Zhao inadvertently turned his head and saw a handsome monk in a white-robed robe outside, and it was precisely because of this monk's extraordinary appearance that Marshal Zhao and Fang Yiai had some impression of him when they saw it.
"This man?" Xuan Shijing frowned: "I haven't seen it, but looking at his clothes, he is a little different from the monks in the temple in Chang'an City." ”
"This kind of monk dressed up should be a disciple selected by Master Xuanzang, and he is usually helping Master Xuanzang translate the scriptures brought back by Tianzhu." Fang Yiai said: "These people are really different from the monks of Chang'an City. ”
"It's a good face." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
"Or, Master Hou will call him up and ask questions?" Marshal Zhao asked.
"Someone!" Xuan Shijing called the little guy in the restaurant over.
"What does Master Hou command?" The little guy bowed in response.
"Did you see the monk? Go down and bring him up. Xuan Shijing said: "Ben Hou wants to ask him, what are you doing in Zhuangzi?" ”
Knowing that monks are not welcome in Zhuangzi in Dongshan County, at this juncture, he is still committing crimes against the wind, this monk is bold enough, is it possible to ignore Xuan Shijing's words because he is the foundation of Master Xuanzang? There was a Fahua Temple before, and he didn't listen to the advice, and now a monk has come out, is this Chiguoguo's slap in the face of Xuan Shijing or what?
"Xiao Jing, don't take it too seriously." Fang Yiai persuaded.
"Don't worry, Ben Hou doesn't eat people."
