Chapter 164: The Tea Room of the World

There will be obstacles along the way, and the east 'gate' Qingzao was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect to be met with a cold reception in Anyi.

'Mao' Liyuan was quite polite to the East 'Gate' Qing, but the words did not leak, and politely refused the East 'Gate' Qing to continue to travel to Kyoto, Japan by land. Qinghua Xiangzhong came all the way east, but he didn't cheat a tael of silver at the 'Mao' Liyuan!

Since the business could not be done, and the host's family was not as hospitable as Ouchi Yoshitaka, the East Gate Kei stayed for a short time, and went to the coast of An Yi Country under the escort of the 'Mao' Liyuan 'Haru', where Tang Xiuji's big ship was already waiting, and in addition to the two sailing ships that came out of the Jie, they were sent by the merchants of the Jie Town to meet the East 'Gate' Qing. After the East Gate Qing boarded the ship, Tang Hideyoshi secretly said that although the two sailing ships were in the name of merchants, there were retainers of the Hosokawa family in them.

The east 'gate' Qing Wen Yan smiled and said: "If you lose the east wall, you will receive the mulberry elm." The 'Mao' family didn't take advantage of it, but there was a bigger customer waiting for us over there! ”

The daimyo of the late Warring States period, with Hosokawa and Ouchi are the richest, and the 'Mao' Liyuan is just an emerging force, and the family background can not be compared with these two, the east 'gate' Qingzi Hakata's trip was misfortuned, and he was inspired by Wang Zhi, and he was more attentive to the situation of the daimyo in Japan than before.

From the coast of Aki Province to the border, it is only a strait sandwiched between Honshu Island and Shikoku Island, which is really nothing to the Keihua Xiangzhong who have experienced the strong winds and 'waves' of the East China Sea. There was nothing to do in the boat, and soon they arrived at the boundary, and the Hosokawa family and Imai Munehisa came to greet them at the same time, and the east 'gate' Keishin said: "I only know a rough idea of the daimyo here in Kyoto, and the details of the Hosokawa family are not yet known." Go now, if you can't scratch his itch, you won't hit his vital point, and it won't have much effect. Then he said to the retainer of the Hosokawa family: "Lord Hosokawa personally sent a letter to invite, which flattered the East 'Gate' Qing!" It's just that Imai Munehisa is a friend of mine, and I'm very concerned about it since I left Hirado, so please allow me to stop for a few days and have a good time with my old friends, and then come and see Hosokawa-sama. ”

When the people of the Hosokawa family saw him say this, they also felt reasonable, so they didn't force the invitation, but just stayed in the realm and waited for news.

The Hosokawa family is not only a wealthy family in, but the governor of the family, Hosokawa Harumoto, has been in Kyoto for a long time, and his status in Japan is similar to that of the three princes of Middle-earth, and the prestige is not comparable to ordinary daimyos! Imai Munehisa saw that Higashi'mon Kei placed his invitation in front of Hosokawa Harumoto, and his face was bright.

The world is the commercial heart of Japan, the roots are deep, and the complete supporting facilities are not comparable to the newly rising Hirado, to here, everything is convenient, there are both Imai Munehisa and other businessmen in the town to help find a place to settle, and the subordinates have their own place to relax, but Imai Munehisa invited the East 'Gate' to celebrate, and walked to the depths of the boundary town, saying that he would find a quiet and elegant place to rest.

The east 'gate' Qing only said that he was going to take himself to some famous garden mansion, but when he came to the end, he only saw a simple hut, in front of the house planted three or four plum trees, the 'flower' season has not arrived, only bald branches, the scene is very quiet. Dongmen' Qing smiled and said, "Zong Jiu, you won't take me to live in the monk's temple, right?" ”

Imai Sohisa laughed and said, "It's not a monk temple, but it's about the same." But I think the son of the East Gate is not a layman, and he should like this pure place hidden in the middle of the city. ”

The East Gate Birthday Celebration "Sex" likes to be lively and prosperous, and does not like to be lonely and lonely, but only ate too much "fat" pig "meat" in the mountain pass, and it is not bad to change some light taste, not to mention that the place is the arrangement of Imai Munehisa, presumably it is hidden in the simplicity, and it will not be a real slum.

Immediately and Imai Sojiu into the house, this house is very secluded, there is no furnishings in the small room, only a hanging scroll, the ground is covered with straw mats, it looks very rough, it really looks like the residence of an old monk.

Dong 'Gate' Qing smiled: "Is this the master's room?" ”

Imai Munehisa said: "This is the tea room of Qianzongyi. ”

The east 'gate' celebrated, and asked Qianzongyi which sect is the source and what is the ancestor?

Imai Sojiu said with a smile: "There are some sources, and the ancestor is still early!" He's a year or two younger than me! ”

The east 'gate' Qing was surprised: "So small? How do you like these! ”

Hearing this, Imai Munehisa said in his heart: "Oops! It took me a lot of 'lips' to convince Qian Zongyi to lend this place, but I didn't expect him to like it! He thought again: "Qianzong Yi hid behind the curtain, and he hasn't said a word until now, I'm afraid that I will also complain that I brought a layman!" This time I'm not pleasing either way! It sucks! ”

Over there, the east 'gate' Qing looked around and saw that there was nothing else to see, so he looked at the hanging scroll, looked at it twice, and secretly exclaimed in his heart: "Good guy! It turned out to be the ink of my Middle-earth monk! This hanging scroll is also very valuable in the Central Plains, not to mention crossing the ocean to Japan! The crudeness of this tea room seems to have been deliberately made! The owner of the tea room must have a background! Thinking to himself, his head nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Imai Sojiu asked, "Is the son of the East 'Gate' aware of the ink?" ”

Dong 'Gate' Qing replied casually: "The young man has an affair, and only the beautiful woman knows about it. ”

Imai Sojiu was surprised when he heard this, and the people behind the curtain were even more overjoyed when they heard this, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I can't complain that Sojiu is so devotive!" I will borrow my downtown mountain residence to entertain my son, it turns out that although the son is splendid, he has Bodhi Huigen! ”

What does the two of them mean by this chant across the curtain? There's a lot going on here.

It turns out that this hanging scroll of Qianzong Yi is the ink of the Middle Earth monk Yuanwu Keqin. Yuanwu Keqin was born in the Great Song Dynasty, since he was a child, he studied Confucian classics, no one near and far students can compare, one day he occasionally saw the Buddhist scriptures, picked up and looked at it, although it was the first time to see, but it was like seeing his original things, because he said: "I'm afraid I was a monk in my previous life!" "He was ordained a monk.

After Keqin became a monk, he traveled all over the world, looking for famous teachers, and finally worshiped under the 'door' of the five ancestors. One day, a senior official Chen happened to resign and was about to return to his hometown in Sichuan, so he came to visit the Five Ancestors and asked: "What is the meaning of the ancestor from the West?" ”

Fa Yan said: "There are two lines of poetry, which are just similar to this: the frequent call of the little 'jade' is nothing, as long as Tan Lang recognizes it." ”

There is an allusion hidden in these two poems, saying that there is a beauty named Xiao 'Yan', who knew that her lover Tan Lang came to her in the boudoir, and Xiao 'Yan' was embarrassed to tell Tan Lang directly in order to let Tan Lang know that she was in the boudoir, so she had to take the opportunity to ask Yahuan Xiao 'Yu' to do this and that, the purpose was to use the voice of calling Xiao 'Yu' to let Tan Lang know that she was in the boudoir.

This allusion is a metaphor for Zen teachings, which means that what is said is not the purpose of Zen in itself, but only the sound of the Dharma, so that people can know the meaning beyond the words - this kind of metaphor is also the Buddha's 'door' habitual technique! But Chen couldn't understand the intention of the law performance, but the diligence next to him was enlightened.

After Chen left, Keqin asked: "Master holds up the poem of the little 'Yan', does Chen Tixing understand?" ”

The Five Patriarchs spoke: "He only recognizes the voice. ”

Keqin asked again: "Since he recognizes the voice, why can't he be enlightened?" ”

The Five Patriarchs saw that Keqin had some enlightenment, so he shouted: "What is the meaning of the ancestor from the west? Mo is a cypress tree in front of the court? ”

Keqin was drunk like this by the Fa Yan, and he suddenly came to his senses, danced with his hands, walked out, and wrote a poem of enlightenment: "The golden duck incense is sold in splendor, and the sheng song is drunk and returned." The young man has an affair, and only the beautiful woman knows it alone. ”

According to the orthodox version, Keqin's this is a metaphor for enlightenment, which means that after Tan Lang recognized the voice of the beautiful woman calling the maid, he secretly climbed into the room***, and in the brocade curtain embroidered with golden ducks, he went through a red 'wave', lingering, and returned drunk in the sound of sheng song strings, and this *** wonderful thing, except for the parties, others are ignorant.

This is a very famous allusion in Buddhism, the east 'door' Qing knows a lot about the three religions and nine streams, often in the brothel to take this allusion and joke with the ***, saying that the old monks are full of nothing to do, the crotch is inevitably uncomfortable, so every day thinking about the "splendid silk", "romantic affairs", even writing verses also take this to talk about things, and directly put the "female" son a few inches below the umbilicus, as the root of the Buddha enlightenment Bodhi, and the crowd laughed enough.

At this time, the East 'Gate' Qing recognized the ink of Yuanwu Keqin in Qianzongyi's tearoom, and casually said these two lines of poetry, where did Qianzongyi know that there was still a cause and effect of the East 'Gate' Qing himself? I only heard him tell the origin of this hanging scroll, and I was happy in my heart, thinking that I had met a person with wisdom roots and understanding Buddhism, so I lifted the curtain and walked out.

When the East Gate Qing looked, he saw that he was a young man in his early twenties, but when he looked at his eyes, there was a kind of profundity to see through the world, which was not like what a young man of this age should have, and said in his heart: "This person must be the owner of this teahouse." He often advertised himself as a Confucian scholar outside, but at this time he folded his hands and questioned him.

Imai Sohisa mocked and said, "Doesn't the son of the East 'Gate' always say that he is a disciple of the Holy 'Gate'? ”

The east 'gate' Qing smiled: "Red lotus and green leaves, this is a family!" The three religions are one, how can they divide each other! ”

Qian Zongyi sighed and said, "If that's the case, I have to ask for advice!" Then he made a fire to make tea, and invited the two guests to sit down and discuss.

Dongmen' Qing's mother believes in Buddhism, and has listened to the "Diamond Sutra" and "Lotus Sutra" since she was a child, and the "Heart Sutra" is even more memorized, plus he has several masters to teach, although he did not deliberately study Buddhism, but from Lin Xiyuan, Li Yanzhi, Li Baizhai heard a few sets of truths to deal with it, it is enough to deter Zong Yi and Zong Jiu, who are similar to him.

After some grand discussions, Imai Munehisa and Qianzong Yi were both amazed, and they both thought: "The characters of Middle-earth are really extraordinary!" ”

Since then, the "lewd" thief of the East Gate Qing has been regarded as a fellow practitioner, and it has been widely spread in the Japanese Zen forest, so that it did not take long for the East Gate Qing to have the reputation of "the people who come to the West". Fortunately, many of the real masters of science and Buddhism in Middle-earth did not know about this matter, otherwise they would have died of anger or laughter.

Originally, I wanted to watch two more today, but today I don't know why, the 'chest' breath is not smooth, the depression 'desire' dies, not like a physical illness, but a psychological disease, the work is not done well, and the word is not until late at night to play the 'fine' god code. But it's much better after the yard is finished, but it's impossible to do two more.

Over for the 10-year inventory, I heard from the editor that the first round is two weeks instead of a week, so it should wait until this weekend for the first round. Now it is a little reluctant to keep the top ten, and the gap with the next few is not wide, and it is very dangerous, I hope everyone can continue to support "Bianrong" until the end of this round of voting. Thank you, thank you.
