With preparation in his heart, Du Xiaoxi was able to calmly appreciate the gradually changing northland scenery on the road in the next few days.

Half a month later, the group finally entered the jurisdiction of Kyoto.

During the break in the afternoon, Liu Erye and a few coachmen discussed that it was late at night to arrive in Kyoto at the current speed, so they decided to go directly to the city tomorrow after resting for a day in Xiama Town.

As the name suggests, people who come here have to get off the horse and rest, because it is close to entering the largest and most luxurious post station in Kyoto, Kyoto's dignitaries and nobles will rest here when they pass by, and Xiama Town has become the first choice for passers-by.

Entering Xiama Town, Second Master Liu let the convoy drive towards the inn he was familiar with, and occupied a car alone, and Ning Jing, who had been sitting in silence in the car, suddenly poked his head out and said, "Master has a knighthood, go directly to the post station." With that, he lowered the curtain.

Everyone looked at each other, and Liu Erye, who was riding a horse and following the car, patted his head and smiled: "Let's touch the light of the master this time, let's go!" Go to the station! ”

The post station was set up by the imperial court, and officials who entered Beijing could stay. Master Xile was named the Marquis of Joy by the current saint because of the waterways in the mountains and the fish farming in the rice fields, although there is no real fief and food, it is also a real title and is naturally qualified to live in the post station where officials can live.

The north end of Xiama Town belongs to the post station, and the people in the town rarely approach it for fear of colliding with the nobles.

Seeing a convoy coming from a distance, the post man who was guarding the door hurriedly smiled and greeted him, but he was secretly scolding in his heart where he came from and did not understand the rules of the buns, all the officials who stayed in the post station would send someone in advance to say that they would arrange it, and I didn't hear that anyone was coming today, so I didn't have to guess that it was a petty official who had just entered Beijing.

Spit and complain, and the post still has to greet him with a smile. After all, no matter how small the officials are, they have more room for promotion than us, if they are resented by the cautious eyes because of their momentary neglect, and wait for the future when they are developed, they should be unlucky.

"I don't know which one is in the house?" Qiu Ming asked with a smile at Qing Feng who jumped out of the car.

Qingfeng also replied with a smile: "My master accompanied Master Xile to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, and he will rest here for a night today, and I will help arrange it." ”

Master of Joy! Qiu Ming was shocked, but he didn't expect that he would be the most popular joy master in recent years, Qiu Ming accepted the smile on his face. He reverently shouted the Buddha number to the convoy, and enthusiastically led the convoy to the post station.

Before the convoy approached, another postman standing at the door knew that a big man was coming when he saw his companion's behavior, and hurriedly shouted to the post station and hurriedly ran over to help park the car.

The Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching, and officials from all over the country have entered Beijing. Du Liye, a post man, pretends to be a grandson in front of people every day, and just dealt with the two families, because of the quarrel with the well, he heard the subordinates guarding the door shouting that a noble person is coming, and he didn't dare to drink the tea and ran out to greet him.

As soon as Du Liye stood at the door, a group of several carriages drove to the door of the post station. Du Liye took his subordinates and said respectfully: "Du Liye welcomes the master in Xiama Town"

Du Xiaoxi followed the master down from the carriage, and the second master Liu Yao and the others in the car behind also stepped forward one by one.

"Amitabha. There is a way to be the four happy events in life, and the donor is courteous! ”

Du Liye saw Master Xile dressed as an ascetic and came to live at the post station, and knew that the monk in front of him was a Buddhist master, and he was thinking about which master it was, so he was shocked by Master Xile's words and raised his head.

The monks in the world are generally bald, and Du Liye has seen not ten but eight monks, and he was wondering which one was in front of him, and Du Zhiqian, who swept behind the master out of the corner of his eye, shouted.

"It turned out to be the Master of Joy! Du Liye of Dujia Village, Shanshui County, met the master! The kindness of the master Du Liye will never be forgotten! Du Liye recognized that the person in front of him was the great benefactor, Master Xile, and knelt down with a puff.

It was none other than Du Liye, who rushed into Beijing for 400 miles to report a bumper harvest in the rice fields of the Du family in Shanshui County.

There are many ways for big businessmen to elect officials, and Enyin accounts for a large proportion of the change of officials. The inheritance of fathers and sons is naturally a guarantee of wealth for generations for those high-ranking officials, but for the executioners and servants at the bottom, it is a shackle that binds generations.

Du Liye's ancestors were designated as Yiding by the government, and they have been running on the mountain roads leading to various places in Shanshui County for nearly a hundred years. Wind, frost, rain and snow, they have to climb to their destination. Du Liye's father broke his leg when he was in his early forties to deliver a letter, and the five brothers drew lots, and Du Liye then replaced his father as a small post man in Shanshui County.

Du Li thought that he would die on the mountain road like his father, and the best outcome was to pass on the suffering to his son as bad as his father, and watch his children and grandchildren work hard.

This change in qiē came from the joy of the master, with the help of the master of the clan to try to raise fish in the rice field, and the joy of the harvest came. The county commander ordered Du Liye to enter Beijing to report the good news, and Emperor Jiayuan was overjoyed, and Du Liye changed from a postman who delivered letters in the mountains to a postman who led to the rich land of Kyoto. Grateful to Master Xile for changing the fate of himself and future generations, Du Liye and his wife offered Master Xile the longevity tablet at home, and thanked Master Xile on the day and day.

When Du Liye was in Shanshui County, he had never seen Master Xile because he was away all the year round. Later, he became a post keeper in Xiama Town, and he never left for a day because of his duties. When I saw Master Xile for the first time today, the master actually knew that he was an old man, how could he make Du Liye not be surprised and not worship. Not brain-dead.

"Lord Du Shi doesn't need to be polite, the poor monk passed by here today and asked the donor to arrange our accommodation on his behalf." Master Xile was stared at by Du Liye's bright eyes, still light and light.

Du Liye's eyes are brighter, he is worthy of being a master of joy, this is the demeanor of a high monk, and the monks who hugged him a few days ago were all scum.

"Master, please come in. Listening to the Zen temple is ready, the villain will take you there. Du Liye rubbed his hands together and stood beside him, his eyes still shining at Master Xile.

Master Xile recited the Buddha, thanked him, and then followed Du Liye to the Listening Meditation Temple.

Du Liye took very good care of the benefactor of Master Xile and Du Zhiqian and Du Xiaoxi, two juniors of the same clan, and Du Liye's mother-in-law also took the child to kowtow, and then stopped after seeing Du Zhiqian and Du Xiaoxi.

The group did not stop much because they met the clansmen, and the next day it was bright, and the master of joy and his party set off with the other teams entering Beijing.

Everyone hurried and finally saw the majestic figure of Kyoto in the afternoon.

A dark color suddenly appeared on the horizon, and when I walked in, I realized that it was a magnificent city built on high ground.

Facing the sea in the east and west directions of the Northland, there is a lot of precipitation throughout the year, and heavy rains and snowstorms are even more frequent, which also leads to the fact that most of the cities in the Northland are on higher ground. Kyoto is the capital city with a large view of the mountains, which is why Kyoto has not experienced major floods for thousands of years.

At the fork in the road between Kyoto and Xishan, the group separated, and Du Zhiqian and Du Xiaoxi followed the master to their own temple. The Liu family has a house in the capital, so the second master Liu took his son to live in the city.

Master Xile is a monk with constant production, dragging the little apprentice who watched Kyoto reluctant to rush to the West Mountain. The eldest apprentice has arrived at the door, and naturally he was taken back to the palace by his father for all kinds of conspiracies and tricks.

The Buddhist cultivator will make a specific statement that there is a mountain in the forest, a temple on the mountain, and a monk in the temple. This pursuit also led the monks of the Great Shang Dynasty to build their dojos on the top of the mountains near the old forests, except for the bustling Shang monks who helped the world.

There is only Nishiyama near Kyoto, which not only satisfies the monks to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the red dust, but also allows the nobles in Beijing to watch, and they can come from time to time to listen to Zen, scatter their minds, and scatter money.

In that year, Master Xile discovered the waterways in the mountains, and Emperor Jiayuan ordered the Ministry of Engineering to build Xile Temple in Xishan in order to show his merits.

At that time, although the master of Kiraku was famous, most of them were people, and the temple caused quite a stir in the house of the powerful in Kyoto because it was ordered by the emperor himself, and I don't know how many people went to see it for a while. Later, because Master Joy had not appeared for a long time, the heat slowly decreased.

Later, Master Xile led people to confirm the feasibility of the mountain waterway, and Emperor Jiayuan vigorously built the mountain waterway, and the Xile Temple, which had fallen silent, caused a boom again. However, because Master Xile practiced in the Shanshui Temple, he only heard the miraculous name of Master Xile but could not see anyone, so he fell silent again.

As a result, rice fields and fish farming popped up again, and the monks in Xishan couldn't bear it.

That's enough, can we get them to accept the faith properly!

Huaihua received a handwritten letter from the master a few days ago, knowing that the master would arrive early in the morning and lead all the disciples to wait at the foot of the mountain to welcome the master into his own dojo for the first time.

The brothers waited eagerly, and finally saw the Qingbu carriage coming slowly.

Du Xiaoxi got out of the car with his master, and saw more than a dozen people kneeling on the mountain road in an orderly manner, knowing that this was his cheap senior brothers.

After the two ministers, several people were welcomed into the temple.

Xile Temple was built by Emperor Jiayuan personally under the order of the Ministry of Works, which can make the emperor look at the natural unusual, just like Du Liye, the emperor will be promoted as soon as he is happy, and the post Ding will become a post man, how many post stations may make the emperor remember? Naturally, the emperor can't ask us in front of the ministers if we have this station? Therefore, Du Liye's lackeys and luck have become the famous post men of Xiama Town.

The same is true of Xile Temple, the several peaks pointed out by the emperor are all beautiful scenery, small rivers, lakes and mountains. Among the many temples in Xishan, the scenery is not the best, but it is also a little distinctive.

Now, five years later, the Xile Temple has quite a fireworks atmosphere.

Entering the eye is the magnificent solemn treasure hall, there are several small halls side by side near the treasure hall to enshrine the popular gods such as Guanyin Bodhisattva, sending the son Niangniang, the treasure hall is divided into two after the treasure hall, and the left half is the place where the monks in the temple live and do morning classes. On the right half of the door, there is a lotus pond with lotus leaves, and the lotus pond used to be more than a dozen courtyards of different sizes for pilgrims to live temporarily.
