Chapter 112: Journey to the West
According to the research of later generations, although the "Buddha Says the Thirty-seven Qualities of the Sutra" unearthed from the Dunhuang Tibetan Scripture Cave does not have a clear time, the paper on which the scriptures were written is the paper of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the error is only a few decades.
However, this is not the point, the point is that it is a manuscript that has not been signed and has been scribbled. But this Dunhuang Tibetan Scripture Cave is because the Black Han Dynasty that believes in Islam was destroyed in the Khotanese Buddhist Kingdom, under the influence of the idea of the extinction of Buddhism and the threat of Muslims moving eastward, some monasteries in the Mogao Caves will gather some important scriptures and Buddha statues, banner paintings, etc., and collect them in the original storage cave, and close the entrance of the cave, and make the necessary cover-up, in other words, many of the scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Cave are fine and unique. Later generations found the "Buddha Says the Thirty-Seven Qualities Sutra" after the world has also studied it, the only one.
It is conceivable that almost 700 years ago, an anonymous hand-copied "Buddha Says Thirty-Seven Qualities Sutra" is a unique book, and it is still in that kind of country where the Buddhist atmosphere is particularly good.
To tell the truth of China, before the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was actually not very good, because the ruler did not believe in Buddhism, and the teachings violated the Chinese tradition, at that time, it was the family of scholars and doctors who were in charge, and there was nothing more important for the family than their own inheritance. Unless you meet a place like the Dunhuang Zangjing Cave where the hexagram is a bug, it is a fake. However, there are not many places like the Dunhuang Scripture Cave, and you can count them on your fingers.
Lin Liu is at least fifty percent sure that the "Buddha Says the Thirty-Seven Qualities Sutra" in the hands of King Pingkang County is a fake.
But just say it, it would be too offensive, the people who can give the king of Pingkang and let him accept it are either relatives and friends, or they want to pat the king of Pingkangjun on the back, but no matter what kind of person it is, Lin Liu can't afford to offend now.
The Lin family now has a good reputation, and the Lin family can't be said to be virtual, but it is definitely not as powerful as others imagine, so they usually act as troublesome as Li Gang and his son are domineering.
"You're a ghost." King Pingkang said with a smile, how could he not hear the meaning of Lin Liu's words after he had lived for so many years, didn't it mean that that thing was very likely to be a fake. In fact, from the mouth of the king of Pingkang County who personally told Lin Liu about this, you can find out his thoughts, if the "Buddha Says the Thirty-Seven Qualities Sutra" is true, it is too late to hide it, how can it be shown to a hairy young man like Lin Liu.
Lin showed a shy smile, as if he was embarrassed after his careful thoughts were exposed.
"Sit down." King Pingkang pointed to the chair beside him.
"Thank you, Lord for your grace." After Lin Liuzuo thanked him, he sat down on the chair pointed by the king of Pingkang County, and he didn't dare to sit full, only sitting on one-third of the chair area, and his waist was straight.
When he got close to the king of Pingkang County, he saw Lin Liu's handsome face clearly, Lin Liu was even better looking than Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai could refer to Lin Daiyulin's sister. Any era is an era of looking at faces, people who are too ugly can't even be officials in ancient times, anyone is willing to face a pleasing face, not an ugly face, China has not had many people since ancient times, and natural rulers have the right to be willful.
The king of Pingkang County is obviously also a face control, seeing that Lin Liu's demeanor is very handsome, the smile on his face is also real, not as fake as before.
"Actually, there is one more thing that this king may want to trouble you."
"The prince is polite, but according to the prince's orders, as long as the kid can do it, the kid will definitely complete it with his heart, and live up to the prince's importance to the kid." Lin Liu stood up and said, this matter still has to be explained first, there are many things he doesn't dare to pack, if the king of Pingkang County wants Lin Liu to get pregnant and give birth to a child, this kind of thing that a man can't do at all, Lin Liu can only stare dryly, Thailand doesn't have that technology at this time.
In fact, this is the statement of a reliable person, the kind of person who packs the ticket regardless of 3721 is the person who can't fully believe it.
King Pingkang didn't care much about Lin Liu's words, and said with an amiable smile: "What are you doing when you stand up again, sit down." After Lin Liu sat down, the king of Pingkang County spoke: "You said that there is a child medicine in this world?" ”
What!?
Lin Liu almost felt that he had heard it wrong, as far as he knew, the king of Pingkang County was a man with a son, could it be that he had guessed wrong? Speaking of which, there are indeed princes in the clan who are facing the crisis that this heirless title may be eliminated after his death.
After thinking about it, Lin Liu said, "Yes! However, You immediately added: "The kid has indeed read this record, but he doesn't know whether it's true or not." ”
"Oh!" This answer was obviously unexpected by King Pingkang, he was afraid that he originally wanted to talk about something else, but now he was aroused by Lin Liu's thoughts, "You can tell me and listen to it." ”
"I wonder if the prince has ever heard of "Journey to the West"?" Lin Liu asked rhetorically.
King Pingkang nodded, "This king knows that it is the miscellaneous drama that adapted "Tang Seng Learns the Scriptures from the West". ”
Yes, the "Journey to the West", which will be released every summer vacation in later generations, for the ancients, is not the masterpiece "Journey to the West" written by Wu Chengen, but the "Journey to the West Miscellaneous Play" adapted from the team play "Tang Seng Xitian Learns the Scriptures", the vast majority of ancient people are illiterate, but they can understand and understand the play, so in this era, Wu Changling's "Journey to the West Miscellaneous" is more famous, rather than Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West".
In addition, Wu Changling is a native of the Yuan Dynasty, and everyone will have such a sentence after the introduction of "Journey to the West Miscellaneous Drama": It has become an important content of the novel "Journey to the West" written by Wu Chengen.
In other words, a large part of the "Journey to the West" written by Wu Chengen is the work of the old-timers, although he also has innovations, but he still can't change this fact, for this, Lin Liu can only ...... Hehe!
Lin Liu shook his head, "It's not Wu Changling's "Journey to the West Miscellaneous", but Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West", which once wrote: There are no men in the Xiliang women's country, and women can go to get Zimu River water to eat when they are adults, and they can get pregnant after eating. ”
"Isn't this a fiction made up, how can it be taken seriously?" King Pingkang was very disappointed and said, those who believe in this are fools.
Lin Liu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the kid once checked some history books out of curiosity, and that Xiliang Women's Country really existed." ”
"Really!?"
