"Li Mo?" Li Zhen immediately thought of his second brother with excellent arm strength. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Who is Li Mo?" Gao Biao said in surprise.
"Li Mo is Zeyuan's second brother, although he is a few years younger than him, but he has been powerful since he was a child, and it is easy to be a Mo Dao general!" Yan Heng said with a smile.
Gao Biao looked disdainful when he heard this, and said: "Brother Yan Heng don't want to talk nonsense, even if he can't even meet the requirements, can he be a little baby?" ”
"Hehe, then dare to ask General Gao if he could lift a two-stone copper tripod when he was ten years old?" Yan Heng asked with a smile.
"Ten years old? Two stones? Gao Biao was shocked when he heard this, and his face looked a little incredulous, even now he was only able to lift a three-stone weight with difficulty, and the other party was able to lift a two-stone copper tripod at the age of ten, which was unheard of for Gao Biao.
Seeing Gao Yu's expression, Yan Heng couldn't help but smile proudly: "Now that Li Erlang is fourteen years old, he can already lift a weight of three stones, and after insisting for a moment, his face is still as usual, and his breathing is even, this Mo knife is less than one stone, even if he wields the Mo knife with the power of these three stones during the battle, it is more than enough!" ”
"This ...... Zeyuan, is this true? Gao Biao turned to Li Zhen and asked.
Li Zhen nodded lightly and said with a smile: "My second brother is different from ordinary people, and his arm strength is that those strong veterans in the army can't be compared!" ”
"In that case, then I must meet this young genius! I can't say that I can cultivate a famous sword general like the Duke of Yu for my Datang! I want to come to this life without a Mo knife, if I can cultivate a Mo Dao, it will be in vain in the future! Gao Biao said excitedly after hearing this.
"yes, I may not have seen Erlang for a long time, so I really miss him!" Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh.
"What's the hurry, won't you be able to see you when you go to Youzhou!" Yan Heng grinned.
......
A group of people set out from Chang'an, sent a letter to Guguan from the north, arrived at Taiyuan after passing through Hezhongfu, Jinzhou, and Fenzhou, and finally arrived at Wutai Mountain after resting in Taiyuan for a day.
Wutai Mountain is located at the junction of Chengde Festival and Yiwu Festival, at the beginning of Wutai Mountain belonged to Taoism, the original name Qingliang Mountain, legend Manjushri Bodhisattva had temporarily lived in the stone basin cave of Xuanzhen Temple, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced into China, Buddha Buddha high monk Jiaye Morteng, Zhu Falan came to Qingliang Mountain from Luoyang, so the place was once the residence of Manjushri Bodhisattva, it was to two people who wanted to build a Buddhist temple, but it was not allowed by Taoism at that time.
In desperation, the two played Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, under the auspices of Emperor Ming, the two families of Buddhism and Taoism made an appointment to burn the scriptures, during which all the Taoist scriptures were burned, and the Buddhist scriptures were intact, so the Ming Emperor allowed the two monks to build a temple in Qingliang Mountain to promote the Dharma, after the temple was completed, the Ming Emperor personally gave the name "Dafu Vulture Temple", which is also the predecessor of the "Xiantong Temple", since then Wutai Mountain began to gradually become a Buddhist holy land.
And in the Tang Dynasty, there are as many as 300 temples in Wutai Mountain, there are more than 3,000 monks, and the monks are as many as tens of thousands in the period of Dezong, and the Wuzong in Huichang abolished the Buddha in five years, so far the Wutai Mountain temple was completely destroyed, and the monks were also ordered to return to the world.
When Li Zhen really set foot on this Buddhist holy land, he could no longer see the grand occasion of the flourishing of incense and Sanskrit sounds, and there were some broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and the broken and collapsed Buddha statue offerings could be seen everywhere, and its decay could not help but make people feel embarrassed.
Therefore, it is a holy place for Buddhism, so Li Zhen left 300 elite horsemen at the foot of the mountain, and only went with Gao Yu, Zheng Jin, Yan Heng, and Zhao Wan.
"Alas, it's a pity that these pure places of Buddhism have suffered such misfortune!" Seeing this, Gao Yu couldn't help but sigh softly.
"What the donor said is wrong, although the Buddha Gate is a pure place, but if there are no pure Buddhas, then it is not a pure place!"
At this time, a dying old monk walked slowly with a branch, only to see that his body was thin, his cheekbones were high, and his white beard under his jaw was withered, but it was somewhat similar to Yuanren, so that Li Zhen felt that the monks of the Tang Dynasty were all so sick.
When the old monk walked in, he saluted everyone and said with a smile: "On weekdays, few people come to this mountain, but today I saw your donors, the old monk was a little surprised, I don't know how many donors came here to do?" ”
At this time, Li Zhen hurriedly replied: "Don't hide it from the master, the kid was entrusted by Master Yuanren to come to the mountains to make a pilgrimage on his behalf!" Dare to ask the Master, is there a complete temple in this mountain? ”
"Gen Yuanren? I wonder how he is now? When the old monk heard this, his expression was a little excited.
"Master Yuanren's body is quite tough, but he is about to return to China soon, is it difficult to recognize Master Yuanren after listening to Master's words?" Li Zhen said in surprise.
"Hehe, the old monk's name is sincere, when Yuanren came here to make a pilgrimage, he was in the Foguang Temple where the old monk was, how could he not recognize him! However, the Buddhist temple here was destroyed in the fifth year of Huichang, and now there is only one Nanchan Temple that is still complete, and although the Foguang Temple has not been destroyed, there are only a few monks' houses left! When the old monk said this, his expression couldn't help but be a little sad.
"Foguang Temple......" Li Zhen said in a deep voice, for Foguang Temple, Li Zhen, who came from later generations, naturally knew something, and at this time he was naturally a little excited after listening to what Yuan Cheng said.
"Then I wonder where the mage lives now?" Li Zhen hurriedly asked.
After hearing this, Yuan Cheng sighed and said: "The old monk now lives in the Foguang Temple, if the Buddha is the host, you can go to the Nanchan Temple under the mountain, the temple presiding over the Master Yuan Ming is the old monk brother, will definitely greet one or two!" ”
"Since Master Yuanren originally worshipped the Buddha in Foguang Temple, then the kid should naturally come here, and I hope that the master will not blame the boy for being abrupt!" Li Zhen hurriedly replied.
I can't help but feel sad when I hear this.
Li Zhen couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and then asked, "Is there any difficulty for the mage?" ”
After hearing this, Yuan Cheng shook his head and said helplessly: "It's not that the old monk is unwilling to take it in, it's just that since the Huichang Fa disaster, there are regular officials and soldiers on this mountain to come to investigate, once it is found that there is a temple to take in believers pilgrims, they will confiscate their belongings, if they should not be whipped, or the disaster of blood and light, the old monk just doesn't want the donors to take risks!" ”
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, it stands to reason that His Majesty has ordered to stop all acts of destroying Buddha after ascending the throne, and is gradually trying to restore the reconstruction of some Buddhist temples.
And listening to what Yuan Cheng said, the actions of these officers and soldiers are no different from bandits and bandits.
"But I don't know where the officers and soldiers are?" Li Zhen asked.
"I don't know much about this, but this place is under the rule of the Yiwu Army, and I think it's what it does! Therefore, the old monk still advised several donors to go to the Nanchan Temple at the foot of the mountain to worship the Buddha, after all, it is the only temple allowed by the imperial court to stay! Yuan Cheng sighed in a low voice.
"Hehe, since that's the case, that kid is going to Foguang Temple even more, I want to see who dares to disobey His Majesty's will!"
