Chapter 767: A Good Beginning for Buddhism-Dao Cooperation
The peak of Tiantai Mountain in the east of Wuwei is majestic, steep and steep, high into the sky, the mountain has stone steps, climb the steps and go up, the road is rugged, the shape is like a hanging ladder, so it is called Tiantai Mountain. The perennial snow on the top of the mountain, commonly known as "ladder snow", is one of the eight views of Liangzhou.
The most famous on the ladder is the famous monk Tan Yao of Liangzhou to excavate, was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the period of the Northern Liang of the ladder mountain grottoes, the big Buddha in the grotto sits according to the mountain, the blue waves ripple under the feet, the thin clouds entangle its body, constitute a magnificent wonder of mountain, water, Buddha and clouds are integrated, it is a prestigious tourist attraction in Liangzhou.
In order to complete the task assigned by Li You, Li Chunfeng can be described as painstaking. This time, he took his disciple Chen Ping and his apprentice Sun Jiu Ling'er to travel all over the mountains and rivers of Wuwei, to find a piece of feng shui treasure land for Concubine Yin's father.
However, with great effort, he found that there was no place where the feng shui was better than the one he had previously provided for the cemetery.
It made him sad now.
Chen Ping's eyes were lively, and he said cautiously: "Master, Wuwei is not without feng shui treasures, it's just that you didn't think about it. β
In fact, Li Chunfeng thought of a piece of feng shui treasure land, that is, Tianti Mountain, but he was reluctant to go, because it was the territory of other people's Buddhas. At this time, although the Tao and Buddha were not incompatible, there was a competitive relationship between each other, and there was no interaction between them.
Chen Ping saw that Li Chengqian was not angry, and persuaded: "Master, His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest means that he can convince Concubine Yin Niangniang and leave no regrets. Because the feng shui treasure land last time was also found by you, and it was said at that time that this is the best feng shui treasure land in Wuwei. Now, even if you do find another piece of Feng Shui treasure, Concubine Yin may not believe that the place you offer is better than the previous one.
She must think that because something happened, the original place could not be used, which would definitely cause a pimple in her heart.
If we find another cemetery for her in Tiantai Mountain, it will be different. Because Niangniang herself also believes in Buddhism, Tiantai Mountain is famous all over the world, in this case, she will definitely believe in it.
The disciple suggested that for the sake of His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest, we should join forces with Buddha Jiao to jointly recommend a feng shui treasure land recognized by Taoism and Buddhism. Concubine Yin will definitely like it very much, and we will complete the entrustment of His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest to us. β
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, and he glanced at his apprentice with appreciation, and praised: "Good idea." For His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest, for the Yin Concubine Niangniang, the master deigned to cooperate with the Buddhists once.
You personally go to Tianti Mountain for a trip, first go and make arrangements, and then I will go to visit Master Yunlan, the abbot of Qingliang Temple in Tianti Mountain. β
Wuwei County belongs to the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, is the northwest gateway of the Tang Dynasty, the northwest is the Western Regions, the northeast is Xue Yantuo, and the southwest is Tuyuhun.
Li Chunfeng Li Zhenren was able to get the support of His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest, and the fact that Daojiao's influence in the Tang Dynasty was rapidly expanding was very envied by the Buddhist community. Now that he can have such an opportunity to have a relationship with His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest, Master Yundeng, as the abbot of the largest temple in Liangzhou, is naturally willing.
Hearing that Li Chunfeng was visiting, Master Yunlan personally led dozens of monks in the temple to greet him outside the mountain gate.
After hearing about Li Chunfeng's intention, Master Yunlan let Li Chunfeng choose the best feng shui treasure on Tianti Mountain, the cemetery of the previous masters of Qingliang Temple after their deaths. He also cooperated from the side, and finally the two jointly determined a piece of feng shui treasure.
On behalf of His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest, Li Chunfeng expressed his gratitude to Master Yundeng.
Li Chengqian didn't realize that his unintentional move had opened a channel for the friendly exchanges between Taoism and Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, relatively reduced a lot of disputes among the people, and made a significant contribution to the stability and unity of the Tang Dynasty.
After completing the task assigned by Li You, Li Chunfeng sent Chen Ping back to report to Li You, and he stayed behind to wait for the arrival of Di Renjie and others.
At this moment, seeing Di Renjie and Zhang Khan Zhi who were hairless on their mouths, Li Chunfeng was a little surprised, he really couldn't imagine that His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest would give such a major matter involving the reputation of the Yin family to two young students who had no experience in society yet.
However, Li Chunfeng trusts Li You very much, knowing that he has never done things that he is not sure of, and the recommended talents have all become pillars. Since Li You recommended these two young people, he must have his reasons.
Li Chunfeng said: "When the poor Dao came to Wuwei, His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest gave an explanation, and asked the poor Dao to explain the Taoist temples in the Liangzhou area, and cooperate with you when you need it." I've already explained this.
Now, I have become friends with Master Yundeng, the abbot of Qingliang Temple, and the children of the Buddhist family in Liangzhou can also give you cooperation. β
Di Renjie was grateful when he saw that Li You was thinking so thoughtfully, and he asked, "Li Zhenren, what advice do you have for this case?" β
Li Chunfeng said: "I am not familiar with the handling of cases. Moreover, His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest has explained that he will not let Poor Dao participate in this matter, so as not to affect your own judgment due to the advice provided by Poor Dao.
All the poor can do is help you as much as possible. β
After speaking, he took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Di Renjie, and said: "Poor Dao has already told Master Yunlan that the Taoist and Buddhist disciples on the Liangzhou realm will help you when they see this piece of jade pendant."
If nothing else, Poor Dao will also return to Chang'an. β
After bidding farewell to Li Chunfeng, Di Renjie and others came to the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion.
The Liangzhou Governor's Mansion was the official government of the border town of the Tang Dynasty, and unlike the establishment in the interior, the highest governor was held by a military attachΓ©, similar to the Jiedu envoy, but on a smaller scale. The chief manager is the official position of the fourth grade, and he has great power to manage the army and the people.
After Di Renjie and the others showed the edict of Li Chengqian, the superintendent of the state, and saw that it was for His Royal Highness the Northwest King of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Sheng, the governor of Liangzhou, was very enthusiastic about them and said that he would fully cooperate with their investigation. Immediately dispatched Liangzhou Sima and Wuwei County Commander to cooperate.
Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia were anxious to handle the case, and refused the reception banquet held for them by Fang Sheng, the governor of Liangzhou, and returned to Wuwei County that night with the order of Wuwei County.
After arriving at the county office, Di Renjie asked the county magistrate to prepare some light meals for them, and asked him about the situation while eating.
Zhang Nian, the commander of Wuwei County, is a thin man who is nearly 40 years old, with many wrinkles on his face, thick eyebrows and slender eyes, and a simple appearance.
Zhang Cambodia is a little older, and he is more sophisticated than Di Renjie in terms of human feelings. Not long ago, Fang Sheng, the governor of Liangzhou, wanted to hold a banquet to entertain them, but Di Renjie declined, and he felt a little inappropriate, because the banquet was for the imperial court, and Di Renjie's approach was a little shameless, which was relatively taboo in officialdom.
Now, he noticed the situation of Zhang Nian's left hand and asked with concern, "Master Zhang, what's the matter with your arm?" β
At this time, Zhang Nian opened the conversation, and he said: "Lord Xie Qincha cares, Xiaguan's arm is not flexible, that was the ...... back then"
At this time, Sima Wangqin of Liangzhou received a letter from Chang'an, saying that he should act on the camera and not let Di Renjie and others find out the truth of the matter.
