Chapter 361: There is a temple
Buddhism, introduced to China at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, was quite popular in the upper class, so Tang Ji planned to accompany the Buddha to light the green lantern for the rest of his life when he was alone in the future. However, although Buddhism was introduced to China at that time and gradually became popular, in the era of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, there was a case of rebellion by Chu Wangying, and Chu Wangying was a Buddhist believer, and as a result, "thousands of migrants were killed" because of this case.
For nearly 100 years since then, there has been no record of the spread of Buddhism in Middle-earth, which is obviously the result of this connection.
If the world is not chaotic and the Han dynasty is not declining, the decline of Buddhism in China may continue for a long time. But the world is in chaos, and the fuse that caused the chaos is the Yellow Turban Army of Zhang Jiao, the Taiping Road preached! Regardless of whether the teachings of Taiping Dao are right or wrong, since Zhang Jiao rebelled, Taiping Dao is naturally officially considered a cult organization.
And Xuzhou here, is the origin of the Taiping Road, as early as the Shun Emperor Langya County had Yu Ji, Gong Chong master and apprentice spread the Taiping Tao teachings. Therefore, in order to prevent the resurgence of Taiping Road, Tao Qian planned to "fight poison with poison". Buddhism's "noble is not yet inactive, good to live and kill, save desires and eliminate luxury", is definitely one of the most favorable teachings in the world! As a result, Tao Qian vigorously promoted Buddhism in Xuzhou.
With the support of Tao Qian, his fellow county villagers, now Xiapi Xiangrong, in Xuzhou, spent a lot of money, widely repaired temples, Buddhism in the famous Futu Temple, Nine Mirrors Pagoda, is built by Zhenrong. It is said that more than 3,000 people can be accommodated around the Nine Mirrors Pagoda to read Buddhist scriptures in its inner class, and the Buddha statue is painted with gold and draped in a brocade robe. Every time you come to the Buddha bathing meeting. Set up a table on the side of the road for dozens of miles, and let people eat and drink. There are as many as 10,000 people who come to visit and worship the Buddha. Thus. The luxury of its arrangement, the grandeur of the scene, and the majesty of the momentum are rare in the world.
Of course, this is also Xuzhou, a place with money and food, that has this heritage. This condition is simply not available elsewhere. Able to build temples on a large scale, and also raise a large number of idlers. According to the "Records of the Three Tibetan Records. "Five Wisdom and Wisdom Yu Doubts" said: "At the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, Guangling and Pengcheng were monks, and they were able to hold a big photo and look for the sages of ambiguity. It can be seen that the prosperity of Buddhism in Xuzhou today, from the Shouxiang to the Li people, all of them chant the Buddha's name. Naturally, Taiping Dao soon had no market in Xuzhou.
However, this person is a person who believes in Buddhism on the surface, and even believes that he is more crazy than anyone else, but in fact his personality is very brutal, and he often does some things without a moral bottom line, and ordinary people are very despised, let alone people in Buddhism. I don't know that Zhen Rong is fooling others, he is pretending, and he doesn't believe in Buddhism at all? Or did he believe in Buddhism just to forgive his sins? Or it was for promotion and wealth, like those later officials who believed in feng shui.
Of course, what kind of person Zhen Rong is has nothing to do with Guo Jia. However, Zhenrong built so many temples in Xuzhou. Now it has something to do with Guo Jia.
Day 1,
Guo Jia: "Huh? There is a temple! How about we go in and see? ”
Tang Ji: "Okay! ”
Diao Chan: "Okay! ”
Cao Xi: "Okay! ”
The little fool and the others have no opinion.
The next day,
Guo Jia: "Huh? There is a temple! How about we go in and see? ”
Tang Ji: "Okay! ”
Diao Chan: "Okay! ”
Others do not make comments.
Day 3.
Guo Jia: "Huh? There is a temple! How about we go in and see? ”
Tang Ji: "Okay! ”
Others have opinions in their hearts.
Day 4,
Guo Jia: "Huh? There is a temple! How about we go in and see? ”
“……”
Finally, no one answered.
"That being the case. Then let's go in and have a look. Guo Jia is still as assertive as ever.
However, others did not dare to give opinions. It doesn't mean that no one dares to put forward opinions, Cao Xi finally couldn't bear it anymore and said,
"What's so nice about this, I've seen a lot of temples these days, and they're all the same!"
If Cao Xi was still interested in Buddhism before, she was about to vomit now!
Fortunately, at this time, although Buddhism can't kill, it can still drink wine and eat meat, otherwise, not to mention other people, Guo Jia probably can't help it, and a bird has already faded out of his mouth!
"Your idea is fundamentally wrong, although I say that I will go in and see, but in fact, 'see' is not the point, 'worship' is the key. There is a saying in the market that goes like this: every temple must enter, and when you meet a Buddha, you must worship. Burn incense and worship the Buddha, pay attention to a sincere spirit. If you don't take this seriously at all, even if the Buddha Lord is merciful and won't punish you, then don't blame your wish for not coming true! Don't you want to worship the Bodhisattva more and let her bless you to bear a son for me? Guo Jia asked rhetorically.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard Guo Jia's words, Cao Xi's belief suddenly became firm. Yes, now Guo Jia has no heirs, if she Cao Xi can really be the first to give birth to a son, and with her Cao Xi's identity, it is definitely very likely that her son will inherit Guo Jia's position in the future! This is her Cao Xi's chance to turn the tables in one fell swoop! Once a person has a strong desire, he will definitely be more devout than anyone else in burning incense and worshipping the Buddha. Looking at this, Cao Xi may be promoted to a Buddhist believer who is even more steadfast than Tang Ji!
"That's what I'm talking about, princess?" Guo Jia said to Tang Ji.
Now that Tang Ji's identity has been made public after all, Guo Jia, as a subordinate, even if he is pretending, he has to ask Tang Ji for advice. And Tang Ji will definitely be the best excuse for Guo Jia not to see Tao Qian for a long time!
If Tao Qian sent someone to urge, then Guo Jia would say: Niangniang is a devout Buddhist believer, and she must enter the temple and worship the Buddha when she meets her. If you urge you, you can only blame yourself, who told you to build so many temples without anything!
Similarly, if Tao Qian wants to send someone to follow, then Guo Jia can also say: Niangniang likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed, just have me waiting here, where you should stay, go and stay!
In this way, Tao Qian could only roughly determine the whereabouts of Guo Jia and his party. This also created an absolute opportunity for Guo Jia and others to disappear in situ after that. Of course, disappearing in place is definitely a technical job, and when the time comes, it will test Guo Jia's improvisation of field control.
"Then let's go in and have a look." Tang Ji made a decision and glanced at Guo Jia with a slightly strange look. At this moment, no one knows at all, what is Guo Jia calculating? Or is he really worshipping the Buddha seriously, so that he can give birth to a son in the future, so that his old Guo family will not be broken.
In order not to expose the scheme, in order to act more realistically, Guo Jia even hid his own people!
Just as Guo Jia was in such a slow hurry, Tao Qian had already arrived at the pre-agreed location, Xiaopei, a border town close to Cao Cao's forces. And Tao Qian, who found that Guo Jia was moving so slowly and didn't know when he would arrive, finally sent someone who could speak well to urge. (To be continued.) )
