Along the way, you can see many nameless islands on the lake in the distance, but although these islands are still green, various water villages have been built, and several warships are stationed on the edge of the islands.

These small islands usually vary in size and height, and many of them are submerged under the lake during the season when the water is abundant. And during the dry season, most of these islands may be half exposed.

Therefore, the Southern Tang Kingdom generally chose to build a water village in May and June when the water was prosperous, and now it is the time when the water source of Poyang Lake is the most abundant. These water villages, which have been built long ago, are parallel to the lake, just like the wooden warships that float on Poyang Lake, which are particularly magnificent and eye-catching.

The people I saw along the way would not be surprised that they often went back and forth in Poyang Lake, and they would proudly introduce themselves to the people around them to show off their knowledge and experience. And those who have not seen it, naturally they can't help but be sighed by the atmosphere and majesty of these water villages, and listen to the stories of these water villages introduced by the people around them with relish.

Xiao Jiulang sat next to Su Hou, and seemed to feel that this uncle was not difficult to get along with, not only took out a wine gourd, but also let himself take the gourd in his hand from time to time and take a sip of the gourd. Xiao Jiulang originally wanted to refuse Su Hou's kindness when he just entered the school, but when he saw Su Hou's faint eyes, he didn't mean to refuse Su Hou. While listening to a few people around him chatting about the water village, he took a sip from time to time, and he seemed to be very engrossed.

It was two or three scholars, it is said that they went to Jinling City to catch the exam, and they were afraid that they would miss the autumn exam, and maybe their family was not too poor, so they took this merchant ship to Jinling City. They were listening to the droplets of a man in the government, the man surnamed Yan was said to be a household in Raozhou, and he was going to Jinling City on business.

Xiao Jiulang didn't want to hear it, but the man surnamed Yan was more friendly, and he was extremely good at talking. He heard that the three scholars said that they were going to Jinling City to take the exam, so he took the initiative to go over and chat with the scholars. After the three scholars heard the identity of the man surnamed Yan, they first complimented them politely, and then saw that there was a messenger following him, so they were even more respectful.

Even now, there is still the Nanyue faction on the rivers and lakes, and they set up the Nanyue Hengshan Tianzhu Peak, but they rarely appear on the rivers and lakes, but they are the same famous Buddhist sect as the North Shaolin Temple.

And the most famous under his seat is Master Daoyi, who is known as Matsu, because the Nanyue faction is really famous all over the world because of Matsu Daoyi. Matsu originally practiced the gradual enlightenment method of the Northern Sect of Zen Gate, and after being enlightened by Master Huairang, he was called the most famous disciple of the master.

Because the lineage of the six ancestors at that time was divided among several disciples. Qingyuan Xingsi, as the first disciple, has obtained the essence of the six ancestors. The reputation of the Seven Ancestors was actually inherited by the Shenhui of Heze Temple, who founded the famous Heze Sect, and also occupied the upper hand of the Beidi Zen Gate with Nanyang Huizhong.

However, the disciples and Dharma system of the Divine Society were actually inferior to Matsu later, so some people called Daoyi the Eighth Patriarch. In the hands of Emperor Jingzong, he publicly honored the master of Master Matsu Daoyi as the Seven Ancestors of Nanchan.

Matsu didn't think much of this title, and he never distinguished it from his peers, because his common surname was Ma, so people laughed and called himself Matsu. Later, when the Nanyue faction respected Master Huairang as the patriarch of the Kai faction, they respected him as the patriarch of the Nanyue faction, believing that he was the actual first generation patriarch of the Nanyue faction.

Therefore, in fact, from the time of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng Master to the Nanyue Matsu Daoyi, Nanchan was once again divided into another line that was different from the Six Patriarchs' lineage. Although Matsu later left Hengshan and went to Jiangxi to preach and practice the Fa, since then people have called the Matsu family Nanyue faction!

And Master Daoyi's greatest achievement is that he is also the only master in the history of Buddhism and Han who is called an ancestor outside the lineage, of course, some people think that he should be the eighth ancestor of Zen.

But it is because of the emergence of Matsu that later generations have formed five sects and six schools of Zen Sect today, which is the so-called one leaf and five flowers in later generations.

The most famous under the Matsu seat is the Huaihai master who created Hongzhou Zen, and the name of Huaihai is rising all over the world. The most famous under the seat of Master Huaihai are the two masters of Huang Bai Xiyun and Weishan Lingyou.

Later generations respected Matsu, not only because he magnified the Nanyue lineage, but also was the most famous descendant of the six ancestors' disciples, and magnificently expanded the Nanchan Nanyue lineage. In addition, when it was passed to the seat of Huang Bai Xiyun, his disciple Master Yixuan re-entered the Central Plains, restored the glory of the former Heze Sect, and founded the Rinzai Sect in Zhenzhou, the land of Hebei in the Central Plains.

And the Weishan Lingyou master is famous, and his disciple Yangshan Huishan founded the Weiyang Sect. One mantle is inherited, and the disciples of Matsu have actually created two sects, which shows the prestige of the Southern Zen Gate. In the history of Chinese Buddhist belief tradition, it is an extraordinary event and legend. If you add the Nanyue faction of Matsu at the beginning, it is three sects under the six ancestors.

And under the disciple of Master Qingyuan Xingsi, Master Shi Xiqian is the most famous. He lived a long life of 91 years, which can be said to be a legend in this era. Although there are many disciples, they are not as famous as Matsu's peers. Only later passed to the Dongshan good price generation, at this time it was the end of the Tang Dynasty crisis, this good price master under the famous disciple Cao Shan Ben Lone, two people founded the famous Cao Dong Sect.

Another famous disciple of Master Xiqian is the Emperor Daowu Master. He passed on several times to Master Yicun of Xuefeng at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and Master Yicun passed on to Master Gaode Shibei of contemporary times, and then passed on to Master Wenyi, a famous contemporary master. Master Wenyi founded the Dharma Eye Sect in Jinling Qingliang Temple and became the national teacher of the Tang Kingdom in Jinling.

Of course, what is worth questioning here is that there is also a famous master disciple under the seat of Master Yicun, who is the same generation as Master Shibei. This disciple was Master Wen Yan, who lived in Yunmen Mountain, Shaozhou, who later founded the Yunmen Sect and was also Chengyuan's master.

Master Wen Yan has studied a lot, but the world has always believed that he is a lineage of Matsu. But what he passed on in Cloud Gate has always been the method of Xuefeng's righteous existence, why do future generations have questions?

Because the original Dao Trace Master was a direct transmission of the Matsu lineage, Master Wen Yan became enlightened in his hands. And what Master Wen Yan inherited in Yunmen Mountain in the end is also the mantle of Master Rumin, a holy arhat. And Master Rumin is also an out-and-out Matsu Dharma system, and is a disciple of Master Daan, a disciple of Matsu's second lineage.

The lineage of the two disciples under the Matsu throne, but in the end, Master Wen Yan passed on the Dharma system, but it was the Dharma system of Master Xuefeng Yicun under the Xiqian Sect of Qingyuan Dynasty, which really made the world puzzling, and it also became a public case for the later generations of Zen Sect.
