The hero Lin Chongxin met was none other than the flower monk Lu Zhishen. Lin Chong and his wife went to Yue Temple the day before yesterday to make incense and make a vow, and got acquainted with Lu Zhishen, who uprooted the weeping willows. The two hit it off at first sight and became brothers of the opposite sex.

Now that Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen have become acquainted, and when they went to Yue Temple to make incense, it must have happened that Gao Yanei molested Lin Niangzi. It's just that Lin Chong didn't say anything, and Wang Lun didn't want to ask much.

It didn't matter if Lin Chong was forced to go to Liangshan, but Wang Lun had to ensure that Lin Chong and his wife were safe and sound, and they could not be allowed to suffer. Even if it is inside the high office, Wang Lun also has to give a lesson.

On the same day, Lin Chong and Wang Lun agreed that he would go to Daxiangguo Temple to find Lu Zhishen early tomorrow morning, and then leave.

After a night of silence, Wang Lun and a few people had breakfast, and then they came to Daxiangguo Temple.

Although Zhao Ji of Song Huizong believed in Taoism, the status of Daxiangguo Temple in the Great Song Dynasty was still unshakable.

Kaifeng Daxiangguo Temple was built in the sixth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty (555 years), and the history can be described as long. At the beginning, it was called "Jianguo Temple", but after the temple was built, there were many disasters and difficulties, and the Tang Dynasty was rebuilt. In the first year of Tang Yanhe (712), in order to commemorate his accession to the throne as emperor by King Xiang, Li Dan of Tang Ruizong changed its name to "Xiangguo Temple" and wrote the plaque of "Great Xiangguo Temple" in his own handwriting.

When he arrived at Song Taizu in this dynasty, it was fired, and Song Taizu ordered it to be rebuilt, and then Song Taizong ordered it to be expanded, which can be said to be favored by the two founding emperors of the Song Dynasty.

After the expansion of Xiangguo Temple covers an area of more than 500 acres, the palace is solemn and gorgeous, the monk's room is lined up one after another, the flowers are full of courtyards, it is praised as "the golden and green shines, the clouds are disfigured". Xiangguo Temple has been repeatedly added and repaired, and has become the largest Buddhist temple in the country.

The founding emperor of the second emperor looked at the Xiangguo Temple so much, and the descendants of later generations naturally did not dare to slack off. Every national event, such as the emperor's birthday prayer, the visit to relatives and the inscription of Jinshi are mostly held here, so Daxiangguo Temple is also known as the royal temple.

Daxiangguo Temple is not only famous in the Song Dynasty, but also famous at home and abroad.

During the time of Song Taizu, the prince of Tianzhu Manshu Sri became a monk, and then came to the Song Dynasty and lived in Xiangguo Temple for many years.

Cui Sixun of Goryeo during the time of Shenzong specially brought several painters from his home country to Daexiangguo Temple and copied all the murals in the temple back to China. It is said that the monk Cheng Xun also came to the Great Xiangguo Temple to study the law.

When Zhao Ji arrived, Zhao Ji, who was so happy, presented the plaque of "Daxiangguo Temple" to the Goryeo envoy.

Yang Lin and Li Kui ruined Gao Yu's industry yesterday and couldn't go out, Shi Jin was dressed in disguise, but he was able to follow this day. Cui Niannu was accompanying her cousin, and Xu Guanzhong was going to prepare for the palace test, so only Wang Lun, Lin Chong, and Yan Qing went to Xiangguo Temple.

Wang Lun had been to Daxiangguo Temple earlier, and Lin Chong was a native of Tokyo and was familiar with the road. Several people arrived in front of the Great Xiangguo Temple, only to see that in front of the temple is a wharf of the Bianhe River, there are countless pilgrims of tourists, and the market around the Xiangguo Temple is very lively.

The Song people's notes "Yanyi Conspiracy Record" said: "Tokyo Xiangguo Temple is also a city of Naiwa, monks' houses are scattered, and the atrium can accommodate 10,000 people. ”

During the Northern Song Dynasty, commerce flourished, and the commodity economy and entertainment industry were extremely prosperous.

"Tokyo Menghualu" describes in detail the lively scene of the "Ten Thousand Surnames Transaction" of Daxiangguo Temple: "The three gates are full of birds, cats and dogs, rare birds and beasts, everything", which is a pet market; "The second and third doors are all used for everything, and there are colorful curtains in the courtyard, selling shopkeepers, mats, screens, washing, saddle bridles, bows and swords, fruits, preserved leaves, etc.", which is a daily department store; Near the Buddha Hall, it sells "Mengjia Daoguan, Wang Daoren Honey Fried, Zhao Wenxiu Pen and Pan Gumo", etc., which is a cultural market; "The two corridors are all temples and aunts selling embroidery, collar wipes, flowers, pearls, heads, color and gold patterns, heads, hats, special bun crowns, silk threads, etc.", selling handmade handicrafts made by nuns of all temples; "In front of the holy gate of the palace, there are books, good games, pictures, and local incense and medicines for dismissed officials", which is roughly a cultural market; "The back corridor is full of sun tellers (soothsayers) goods, spirits, and the like", and the goods bought and sold are those who are diviners and fortune-tellers.

Not to mention ordinary people, even some monks of Daxiangguo Temple can't resist the temptation of interests. Gradually, you will get involved in commodity trading, make money and enjoy life.

The cooking skills of the monks of Daxiangguo Temple are also very superb, "every time there is a fasting meeting, all the food and tea fruits, and the utensils, although three or five hundred points, do not do it aggressively." Some even openly violated the precepts of Buddhism by opening a roast pig house and running a pork business.

Zhang Shunmin of the Song Dynasty recorded in the "Painting of the Yuanlu" that "Xiangguo Temple burned Zhu Yuan", "In the old days, there were monks Huiming, good cooks, and pork was especially good." A meal of five meals. Yang Danian returned with it, and most of them lived with him. One day the year said: 'You are a monk, and you are called to burn the pig courtyard from far and near, and you are safe? Hui Ming said, "What? Danian said: "Why don't you burn Zhu Yuan." And the people of the capital changed their names from then on. ”

Seeing that this continues, the precepts in the temple will be destroyed, and the monks in the temple will also fall into the red dust, so he hurriedly asked the court to prohibit trading in front of the temple.

But Zhao Ji believes in Taoism, and he is naturally not too relieved about delaying the monks' practice, not to mention that the bazaar can bring a lot of taxes, but it can't hinder the royal temple.

In the end, the Great Xiangguo Temple held five times a month "Xiangguo Temple Ten Thousand Surnames Trading" temple fair, which was a compromise.

The presiding officer of Daxiangguo Temple saw that the will of the saint had been made, and he could only carry it out, and he originally thought that there were only five days of trading per month, and the rest of the day could allow the monks to concentrate on practice. But when the dust heart moves, how can they calm down and worship the Buddha, many monks have the means to make a living, and they have begun to return to the world one after another.

The host looked bad, and most of the monks in the temple were going to disperse like this, and without these disciples who were willing to enter the world, they would have to do some work to enter the world, after all, although they were high monks, they also needed to eat and drink, and they also needed gold and silver. So he asked some disciples who were unwilling to practice to contribute to the temple, and these people had the support of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and it was much more convenient to act.

They can stay in the monastery and continue their secular life, although they have to pay some money and food to the monastery, most monks are still unwilling to give up their lives.

Therefore, every time you come to the temple fair, you can still see a lot of monks trading in Daxiangguo Temple.

However, there are bursts of Sanskrit singing in the temple today, yesterday is the day of the assembly, and today is the day of the monk's chanting.

When he arrived at the gate of Daxiangguo Temple, after a brief look, Lin Chong said to Wang Lun: "If you want to play in the temple, when you see Master Lu, it will not be too late!" ”

Although the vegetable garden of Xiangguo Temple is under the name of Xiangguo Temple, it is not in Xiangguo Temple, but near Yue Temple, Lin Chongyin said.

Wang Lun and Lu Zhishen only have one side, they were still hostile at that time, and now Lu Zhishen and himself are both people who are at the end of the world, and they have a relationship with Lin Chong, so they are eager to meet. "I heard the flower monk Lu Zhishen early, and punched the name of the town of Kansai. I was about to ask for advice in person, and I thanked you for the feelings I wanted to make that day! ”

Wang Lun fought with Lu Zhishen at that time, but he narrowly won a move, because of this.

Shi Jin also met Lu Zhishen when he was in Weizhou, and Lu Zhishen also rescued Li Zhong and Shi Jin that day.

At this time, hearing that Lu Zhishen was here, he was even more eager. "I don't want Lu Ti to settle here, if you go directly to Liangshan, how can it be so troublesome!"
