Chapter 419: Faith Is Not Faith (I)

Chapter 419

Beijing City, early in the morning, today is closed.

The sun has not yet risen, the door of Baiyun Temple is full of traffic, so lively, and from the shape of these carriages, the quality of the horses, this group of people who come are either rich or expensive, some young people wearing scholarly robes, originally five people and six young people were walking on the street with high spirits, but looking at these carriages and horses, they don't need people to rush, they take the initiative to stand on the side of the road.

Their eyes when they look at these chariots and horses are very complicated, revealing eagerness, hope, envy, fascination, and all other emotions that symbolize the beautiful hope of human beings, but the movements are elegant and tight, and they can't find anything wrong at all.

Because the owners of these chariots and horses are mostly high-ranking officials and nobles in the Beijing Division, the lowest-grade military general is an uncle, the lowest-grade civil official, and the six-part Lang of the fifth grade, only one of their points is needed, and these ordinary scholars can't say that they can soar.

"Liu Shiyu has always come to worship the Buddha, why did he come to this temple to incense now?" A middle-aged man in a long robe stepped out of the carriage with a smile on his face and bowed his hand politely.

Hearing this, the imperial historian surnamed Liu turned over and dismounted, handed over the reins to the servant, bowed his hand back, and said haha: "Li Gongbu said that he laughed, the ancient saying Yun Buddha is the Tao, this moral Tianzun went out of the letter valley in the west, turned Hu into a Buddha, where did you and I come from?" ”

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the carriage next to him: "Look, Yang Taishi is also here." ”

The book "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing", or Lao Tzu Xi sent a letter to Gu Guan Hua Hu Cheng Buddha, as early as the former Yuan Dynasty there was a debate, the result was under the scimitar of the Mongolian iron horse, under the aim of the strong bow and crossbow, the Quanzhen Sect lost the debate very cleanly, this is also no way, in that case, the Quanzhen Sect has been at the peak of the development path under the leadership of Changchun Zhenrenqiu, there are believers in all walks of life, and the influence is so great, if you don't defile yourself, you can only rise up and the Mongols just face it.

However, in those years, the race or power that could just face the Mongols had not yet been born, and if they were not coaxed, the entire Quanzhen Sect could only be beaten into a cult, and the heads were rolling, following the Great Song Dynasty, ah no, it was a great send-off on the road.

So after that, Buddhists basically didn't recognize any "Lao Tzu nonsense", although when Buddhism came from India, in order to get the affirmation of the upper class, it was directly played out under the banner of Lao Tzu Hua Hu - after all, Taoism was still in the upper class, and it was still awesome and not explained.

So when the Gongbu Langzhong surnamed Li heard this, he took a sip in his heart, but his face was still full of smiles: "What Liu Shiyu said is very true, these three sects of Qinglian and White Lotus are originally a family, so how can they be separated from each other?" It's the foolish brother who is in love, you see, there is Hu Zongbo's carriage and horse, you and I will hurry up to meet him. ”

The Gongbu Langzhong surnamed Li heard this, turned his head, and saw Hu Hu walking down from the carriage on the other side, this year is still different from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, using people as animals is an inhumane performance, shoulders or something, that is, to show favor when taking it out and using it, serious officials go out, either riding a horse, or a carriage.

So the two of them came over, but with their identities, they couldn't get together, and they were surrounded by a group of people who were facing the top of the three grades from afar, including Zuo Tongzheng Li Xi, Zuo Shilang Jiao Hong and others, and they could only bow their hands to Hu Hu from afar.

There's no way, Hu Hu is awesome and doesn't explain it this year, after all, the "convention" of the cabinet to suppress the six ministries has not yet been fully established, and now in the cabinet, in addition to Yang Pu, the other highest is also a waiter's errand, and who is Hu Hu? The old ministers of the Xuande Dynasty, in terms of qualifications, Ma Yu, Cao Nai, and Chen Xun tied together, may not be able to beat Hu Hu with one hand.

In many cases, being old is the biggest capital.

The contemporary abbot of Baiyunguan stood at the gate of the temple, looking at the grand occasion outside the temple gate, feeling like he was living in a dream, although it was said that Qiu Zu opened the altar widely, so that the Quanzhen Sect of Longmen was greatly prosperous, but since the entire Quanzhen was cut in the Yuan Dynasty, it was completely decayed, and compared with the Zhengyi next door, it was still a lot worse.

To tell the truth, the abbot of his Baiyun Temple can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face in this important place in Beijing, but after so many years, when have you ever seen this kind of battle?

Seeing Hu Hu walking inside with a group of dignitaries, the abbot hurriedly greeted him, bowed slightly, and saluted in his mouth: "Mercy and mercy, I don't know that you are coming today, and you are not welcome, please forgive your sins." ”

Taoism has always been a religion closely combined with the court. Inexistent! Didn't I see that the old Zhu family was looking for Zhang Sanfeng from Zhu Chongba to Zhu Laosi, but in the end they didn't find it, or did they build a Taoist temple in Wudang Mountain?

Hu Hu laughed, and the old man's face was full of smiles: "The abbot is polite, I am waiting for a break today, but it is the same thing, I came to disturb the purity of your land, and I hope the abbot will not dislike it." ”

These nobles and ministers present, headed by Hu Hui, naturally no one will stand up to answer Hu Hui's words at this time, and those who can't distinguish between the upper and lower levels basically can't stand here.

The abbot smiled and stretched out his hand to lead inside: "Everyone, please inside." ”

There were twenty or thirty powerful people in Beijing who followed Hu Hu and entered the city, just like the previous dynasty, and there was no competition.

In the distance, Yang Pu stood on a high ground a little awkwardly, and sighed deeply: "Zi Bu is strange, powerful, chaotic, and godly, I can't imagine that until now, this Hu Yuanjie still believes in these things after all." ”

Ma Yu, who was wearing a long robe, stood half a body behind Yang Pu and sighed: "In the early years, Hu Zongbo was looking for Zhang Sanfeng at the behest of Emperor Taizong, but I am afraid that he had already formed a fate with Taoism at that time?" ”

"What kind of fate can there be, it's just that the court is in turmoil, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha for peace of mind." Yang Pu shook his head, his voice was full of vicissitudes, "It's to blame, it's just that this Zhang Mao Cheng was inspired by the Heavenly Court, and the timing of his ascension to the upper realm was too good, and it directly gave the entire Heavenly Master Mansion a chance to pull out of the big quagmire of the court's political strife, which caused everyone to speculate." ”

Turning around, Yang Pu walked slowly towards the city: "The people of Li in the Central Plains, up to the six Shangshu, down to the Qianshou in the fields, how many of them are like the Tang Sanzang Master, who just want to be reborn in the Maitreya Pure Land?" Isn't it what to see and what to worship, just to ask for peace of mind? Quietly Huangyan County, a young Zhan thing with four grades, but he has already been on the altar. ”
