Chapter 9: The Void One Guru (Two in One)
June 19 seems to be the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva or Buddha.
I haven't carefully understood the Xin Xi of Buddhism, and I don't know much about this special day of Buddhism, but at this time, the monks of the Northern Tianzhu Buddha Kingdom, the city of Lanata, and the city are holding a grand ceremony.
A group of monks dressed in brown and red shorts are marching through the streets of the city, among them, there are three elephants, also covered with red cushions, on which there are kind eyebrows and solemn monks.
It's just that the monks and monks of this rotten Nata City are not bald, and there are no scars on the top of their heads, but they have hair, but some only have a shallow layer of board inches, some have shoulder-length hair, and even more, they have long hair that extends to their buttocks, and they have braided more than a dozen small braids.
Boom and live!
It's just that there are very few real monks!
Xin Yi and Xin Yi have also changed their dresses, wearing the short clothes of Tianzhu people, I have to say that under this short dress, Xin Yi's white and tender arms are exposed, relaxed and freehand, concise and bright style, and quite a bit of the appearance of a little girl in later generations, pure and beautiful.
It's just that no matter how beautiful it is, it's just a landscape.
In every sea of flowers, there will be countless gorgeous and dazzling flowers, but if Xin Xi has already picked one, it will never be exchanged like a monkey moving bread and grain.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, if Sima Yun also wears such a short clothes, he will be more beautiful than Xin Yi!
Thinking like this, Xin Xi felt that after returning to the Great Song Dynasty this time, it was necessary to change the clothing, and the clothes were a profiteering industry!
Especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, when the status of women is about the same as that of men, these women will become the largest group of gods in the clothing industry!
Yes, yes, there is also a bra that can also be designed, after all, in this era, there is no underwear except for a small belly pocket!
Thinking of this, Xin Xi felt his next life, the long cloth scarf, although it can be wrapped into a triangle as underwear, but after all, it is not as comfortable as underwear, so underwear can also be put on the agenda and make an industry.
Wait!
And the aunt's towel!!
In this era, there is no aunt towel, if it is a girl from a rich family, there is a lot of silk cotton cloth to replace, but if it is an ordinary girl, but a cotton cloth is used for a lifetime, after use, wash it clean, and then use it......
Therefore, the market for aunt towels should not be small!
Just when Xin Yi's mind was spinning the ideas of these new and new industries that were out of tune, Xin Yi on the side looked back at Xin Yi and asked, "They can actually tame elephants!" β
The story of Cao Chong's elephant is still relatively popular in the Northern Song Dynasty, although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has not yet appeared, but there is also this paragraph in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"Well, it's not very magical, according to the theory, any animal can be tamed, will Miao Jiang be able to tame poisonous snakes and poisonous insects soon?!" Xin Zhen said indifferently.
Xin Yi shook his head and said, "Isn't our Great Song Dynasty short of horses, in that case, can we replace it with an elephant?!" In this way, if you start a war with the Liao State of Western Xia, as long as the fighters are suitable, you will not be like before, not only will you not be able to conquer the city after winning the battle, but you will also get nothing! β
Elephants instead of horses?!
Xin Zhen shook his head, the elephant is too big, too bulky, and can't run fast at all!
At least, the elephant that Xin Xi learned from the later "Man and Nature" is a bulky guy, otherwise, how could the largest land size be made to become extinct?!
At this moment, a hissing sounded in my ears, it was like a thunderous roar, and then the crowd at the city gate panicked.
Immediately afterward, the feeling of shaking the mountains came, Xin Xi looked up, and saw an elephant carrying a monk in front of him suddenly go crazy and rush towards this side!
Thirty meters away, almost instantaneous!
Xin Xi was stunned, because of the larger body, the elephant's wild run, that is an unrivaled momentum! That's the momentum that can rival the galloping of hundreds of war horses!
Xin Yi's heart was also lost for a while, and he was shocked by the momentum of the elephant's wild rush, and stayed in place without the slightest movement.
Xin Zhen's face was full of anxiety: "Grass! Xin Yi, hurry! Move! β
The heart was extremely anxious, Xin Zhen's face was full of panic, it was a kind of unwilling and incompetent anger in the face of invincible things!
At this time, an old monk appeared in front of the elephant like a phantom, his right hand folded into a palm, erected in front of his chest, and his left hand stretched out his fingers, pointing at the elephant in the air.
"Om! Hawkers! This! Trumpet! Catβs meow! Bellow! The six-character mantra came out, and the elephant paused slightly, as if it was blocked by great strength, and then, the elephant directly bent its front legs and knelt in front of the old monk.
The pedestrians in the street were all amazed, and then, with reverent and serious faces, chanted a strange tone, and knelt down in unison.
I guess they are shouting the names of gods like 'God', 'Buddha', and 'Bodhisattva'.
After all, a person, a thin old monk, who subdued a raging elephant with a casual wave of his hand, was indeed a miracle!
Not to mention, the elephant even knelt down for the monk, you know, in the Tianzhu culture, the elephant can be psychic, whether it is in Buddhism, or in the Brahmin, the elephant is like a god like a roaring dog or a kobold!
At this time, the senior monk sitting on the back of the elephant hurriedly turned over and bowed to the old monk in front of him very respectfully: "Hello, hang auspicious!" β
I was about to turn my head and ask the old monk of the green lantern to translate, but when he turned around and saw a stranger, Xin Xi remembered that the old monk of the green lantern had already gone to contact several important people in Buddhism!
Grass!!!
didn't go with the old monk of the green lantern, what a serious mistake!
Xin Yi was speechless, now it's okay, I can't even step forward to say thank you, at least, people may not be able to understand it, and at the same time, a thank you may cause some minor troubles because of language problems.
After all, the two of them are facing the Central Plains people, if they speak the Tianzhu language, or the language of other countries in the Western Regions, it can be interpreted that they are the remnants of the Tang Dynasty, but if they are speaking the Central Plains language, then the problem comes.
Central Plains people!
Why are the people of the Central Plains coming to Tianzhu?!
Especially from the old monk of the green lantern, I learned that the people of the Central Plains have been blackened by the Brahmins!
In this way, if you really expose the fact that the people of the Central Plains are exposed, maybe you will be chased and killed by the people of the entire Rannatuo City like a rat crossing the street, right?!
It was also at this time that someone suddenly approached behind him and said in extremely slight words: "General Xin, are you okay?!" β
It was the voice of the old monk of the green lantern.
Xin Yi nodded, did not speak, but quickly walked to Xin Yi's side and asked softly, "Are you okay?!" β
He could understand Xin Yi's emotions, at least, when he saw the elephant for the first time, he was quite shocked in his heart, although the elephant he saw that time was still the kind with the animal trainer next to him in the circus, and it seemed quite docile, but he never dared to get too close, not to mention, Xin Yi was almost trampled into meat by the elephant when he saw a live elephant for the first time!
Xin Yi was stunned, he actually cared about himself first?!
If it was a father, he should have scolded himself for how he could make such a simple mistake, right? After all, with her Xin Yi's ability, not to mention just dodging from the collision of this beast, it would not be a problem to kill this beast directly!
This!
For a while, Xin Yi's heart was a little complicated, and she suddenly felt that she had been too bad to Xin Shiyi before?!
"It's okay! It's Xin Yi who is guilty! Xin immediately clasped his hands and saluted according to the practice of the inertial Zhongying Guard, and at the same time almost knelt down!
Fortunately, Xin Yi's eyes were quick, and he directly supported Xin Yi, and at the same time whispered: "Remember where this is, think about what I told you before!" β
Xin Yi suddenly realized, and the clasped hands naturally swept towards her ears, brushing the scattered hair behind her ears, but she didn't know that her action surprised many monks!
The monk who had just jumped off the back of the elephant was even more angry, looking like he wanted to get rid of the demon and defend the way: "Quack, hang, aunt!" β
At this time, the old monk of the green lantern also quickly stepped forward, first saluted respectfully to the old monk who had surrendered to the elephant, and then also Kilagula stood up.
After a while, the matter was understood, and the senior monk seemed to be a little indignant, and directly shook his hand and left.
The old monk smiled slightly, turned his head and walked over with the old monk of the green lantern.
Xin Yi's face was also full of vigilance in an instant!
It's really that this person in front of him is too tough!
That abyss-like aura is even stronger than the previous Xin Yi that Xin Yi had seen when he was young!
The old monk smiled slightly: "Is the donor the general Xin Xin Xin mentioned by Qing Deng?!" The old man is a virtual one! β
This old monk is the virtual one?!
It's so easy to see?! It seems that the other eleven Shadow Guards can be withdrawn, or, let them help Thirty-Six, after all, it is still too difficult to establish a new Shadow Guard group in the Western Regions, with only thirty people!
It's just that there is no extra manpower around at present, so there are only some simple ways to leave a password!
Thinking like this, Xin Xi also quickly bowed in accordance with the Confucian way, raised his hands to his chest, his fingers were stacked on top of each other, and his two thumbs stood upright, making an empty hand salute!
Just kidding, the set of fist hugging rituals on the rivers and lakes or in the military camp is not suitable, but if you practice the Buddhist namaste ceremony, it will not work, as for the Taoist etiquette, Xin Xi does not cultivate the Tao, and practice a Mao Taoist etiquette!
Therefore, from the point of view of having read books, it is more appropriate to practice Confucian etiquette!
Of course, this kind of empty hand salute will completely disappear from the Central Plains culture after the ravages of the Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, under the centralization of the cabinet and the factory and health institutions, this kind of etiquette representing the equality of the host and the guest was selectively eliminated by Zhu Chongba and Zhu Di.
In fact, although Zhu Chongba has made meritorious contributions to the revival of the Han Dynasty, he is another sinner who can bring the checks and balances of power to the centralization of power again.
In fact, if Zhang Shicheng or Chen Youliang won Zhu Chongba, they would definitely not embark on the road of centralization, and they would definitely not have killed all the heroes first.
Sincerely, throughout history, there are only two people who have killed heroes in the founding of the country, one is Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the other is Zhu Chongba, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.
And Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng have good backgrounds, so they must not have such limitations.
Seeing Xin Zhen's peculiar way of saluting, the old monk Xuyi was also slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "I heard that Qing Deng said General Xin's plan, can you go to the cold house and talk about it in more detail?!" β
Xin Xi smiled and nodded, after all, there are quite a few people who pay attention to this side, as for the use of Tang Yan by Xuyi, then no problem, after all, who doesn't know that the Buddhists who are pointed out by Niu Bi are all Tang Yan?!
The four of them turned around and left, leaving the city of Nata directly, and walked towards the mountains and forests on the outskirts.
After all, today's Tianzhu country, even this northern Tianzhu, is actually invaded by the Brahmins, if in these cities, you may not be careful, you will be monitored by the Brahmins, so, when talking about secrets, Buddhists will go to the small temples built in the mountains.
After walking for about an hour, two small wooden houses appeared in the shade of the woods.
There was a stream beside the hut, and on the edge of the stream was a simple pavilion, on the pillar of which hung an old fishing rod.
The virtual one is in front, and the false invites Xin Xi in.
Xin Xi was not polite, and walked directly into the house.
The house is very simple, and there is no portrait of the Buddha and Bodhisattva hanging in the temple like in the temple, or directly enshrined in the clay sculpture of the Buddha and the Bodhisattva.
It's simple, refreshing, and there are no crooked gods and ghosts.
Xin Xi likes such a simple arrangement, and he likes such a cultivator who does not serve ghosts and gods, according to the distinction between Taoism and Taoism, the old monk in front of him should be regarded as a Buddhist, not a Buddhist person.
After all, Taoism cultivates the avenue of heaven and earth, and there are no gods, gods, ghosts, and ghosts, while Taoism is a large number of gods, gods, ghosts, and ghosts, which are inexplicably complicated.
"Listening to what Qing Lantern said, General Xin wants to gather the entire Buddhism, but forgive the old man's words, in the past 20 years, the Brahmins have become more and more powerful, that is, now there are only two or three thousand people in the Buddhism, and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, so General Xin's matter, it is not that Buddhism does not want to help, but that in order not to harm General Xin's major affairs, Buddhism can only choose not to help!" After filling the teapot with tea leaves and water and boiling it on the stove, he turned around and sat down, and said.
"Of course, one hundred and sixty-two people in Ningku Temple can be driven by General Xin, and furthermore, Lao Wei can also take action for General Xin, but I don't know, what General Xin said to Qing Lantern at the beginning, how much is true and how much is false?!"
