098 met a Taoist priest
The big city and the east market are next to each other, and they seem to be very close roads, but Gao Fei and the others have walked for most of the hour, and most of the time has been consumed in the congestion of the big city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although the city is prosperous and lively, it is very noisy and congested, so to speak, from the opening of the city to the closing of the market at the time of the unitary time, during the period in between, there is an endless stream of people pouring into the city every day, which will naturally cause congestion. Therefore, people who generally go to the big market must be mentally prepared in advance, and you don't want to come out without an hour or two.
Finally squeezed out of the big city, Gao Fei only felt comfortable, in the big city not only to endure congestion, but also to endure noise, but also to endure all kinds of intertwined smells, it is really a torment. However, even so, there will still be an endless stream of people pouring into the market to buy things, because not only is the most complete here, but it is also the cheapest in the Jiankang area, which is equivalent to a large wholesale market, and many small traders and vendors will come here to make purchases, and then return to the small markets located in various places to peddle and earn the difference in price.
However, fortunately, Goofy has already squeezed out, and if he squeezes it any further, he will have to faint due to lack of oxygen. From Dashi to Dongshi, the distance in the middle is only two miles, and you can get there by walking.
When Goofy was getting farther and farther away from the city, it was also when he was getting closer and closer to the east market, but as he walked, he found that there was a temple on the ground between the city and the east market.
At this time, Buddhism was not yet popular and temples were not common, but it was a bit surprising to see a temple here.
"How can there be a temple here?" Goofy asked, pointing to a complex of buildings not far ahead.
Wang Jiu hurriedly replied, "Master, this is Jianchu Temple. ā
"This is Jianchu Temple?" Goofy asked with a little excitement.
Gao Fei had been to Nanjing in modern times, and he had seen a lot of places of interest in Nanjing, but after arriving in ancient times, because Gao Fei had crossed the time span too far, many of the places of interest and historic sites in the present had not yet appeared, so Gao Fei went to Jiankang City, only felt that everything was very strange, and could only rely on his own memory to compare whether the ancient and modern Nanjing City was consistent.
I remember that when Gao Fei was traveling in Nanjing, he had carefully visited Da Bao'en Temple, one of the three temples in Jinling, and was very impressed by Da Bao En Temple.
Da Bao En Temple is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di to commemorate the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma built, in the Ming Dynasty Yongle ten years (1412) began to build, lasted 19 years, cost nearly 2.5 million taels of silver, 100,000 military service, people. The construction of Da Bao En Temple is extremely exquisite, and it is built in full accordance with the standards of the imperial palace, which is resplendent and brilliant day and night. The scale of the whole temple is extremely large, there are more than 30 palaces, 148 monasteries, 118 corridor rooms, 38 scripture rooms, it is the largest and highest standard temple in Chinese history, and it is the first of the hundred temples.
However, Da Bao En Temple was rebuilt on the original site of Jianchu Temple, so Gao Fei will be no stranger to the name Jianchu Temple.
Jianchu Temple is the first temple in Jiangdong during the Sun Wu period, the second temple in China after the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, and the first temple in the south of the Yangtze River, the earliest Buddhist temple established in the south, the predecessor of the Great Bao'en Temple today, and it is one of the ancient famous Garans and one of the central dojos of Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River.
Gao Fei looked at Jianchu Temple from afar, only to see a towering stupa behind the temple, he said to himself: "This tower should be Ashoka Pagoda, right?" ā
Although Jianchu Temple touched Goofy's memories and allowed him to find a little memory related to modern times, today his purpose is not in the temple, but in the East City.
Gao Fei noticed that Jianchu Temple divides the big city and the east city into two, with the east city and the west side of the big city, which is a very representative building in Jiankang City.
When passing by Jianchu Temple, Gao Fei just glanced inside, only to see that the temple gate was pressing, the courtyard wall of the temple was also dilapidated, only a stone paved road led to the temple, it looked deserted, tattered, and the lively Da Bao'en Temple in Nanjing today is simply a world of difference.
"Maybe it's because Buddhism wasn't very popular at this time." Goofy guessed.
After walking for a while, Gao Fei and the others finally came to the East Market, before entering the East Market, Gao Fei clearly felt that the environment here is beautiful, quiet and abnormal, although there are also shops on both sides of the street, but there are few pedestrians on the street, only a handful.
In addition, there are many soldiers standing on the periphery of Dongshi, quite a three-step sentry, five-step and one-post, and each soldier looks fierce.
What is the reason why there are so many soldiers guarding a market outside?
With this question, Gao Fei asked Wang Jiu: "Why are there so many soldiers here in Dongshi, is this a market or a barracks?" ā
Wang Jiu said with a smile: "Master, do you know, the biggest difference between the East Market and the Big Market is that the things sold in the East Market are the most complete and cheapest, while the things sold in the East Market are the most expensive, all kinds of rare treasures, all kinds of expensive things beyond imagination. The imperial court sent troops to guard here, also to strengthen security and prevent bad actors from entering the East Market to steal. ā
When Gao Fei heard Wang Jiu say this, he immediately understood that the East Market is equivalent to a very high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade shopping mall in modern society, and the things sold in it are also some expensive luxury goods, which are a place for the princes and nobles to spend their time.
Gao Fei asked Wang Jiu to find a silk village first, and then Gao Fei personally selected the colors, and after paying the money, he sent the two maids back to the mansion to wait, but he let Wang Jiu stay by his side and continue to go shopping in the East Market.
Accompanied by Wang Jiu, Gao Fei walked around the entire East Market, the area here is indeed not as big as the big city, but there is a different kind of quiet, people walk on the street, while enjoying the beautiful scenery, while shopping, there is indeed a feeling of relaxation and happiness.
As Wang Jiu said, the things sold here are really expensive, but many of the things are unique, and the people who come here to shop are either the children of rich families, or the squires and wealthy families, and even the children and officials of the scholar clan.
Whether it is the big city or the east market, Gao Fei has personally walked through it today, and he has also seen the business of this ancient Jiankang thoroughly. At this moment, he only felt that his mood was surging, and the results of the investigation showed that Gao Fei had unlimited business opportunities here, and it was indeed not difficult to become a rich man.
"Fortune telling! Fortune telling! ā
I don't know when, there was a Taoist priest wearing a white Taoist robe and a Taoist hat in front of Gao Fei, holding a rattle in his left hand, a yellow cloth banner in his right hand, and a whisk pinned to his waist, shouting as he walked: "Fortune telling!" Fortune telling! ā
Gao Fei inadvertently glanced at it, and saw that the yellow cloth banner held by the Taoist priest was embroidered with five big characters "Ten Hexagrams and Nine Prohibitions". This Taoist priest immediately attracted Gao Fei's attention, and saw that the Taoist priest had a childish face and crane hair, and a long white beard hanging on his chin.
At the same time that Gao Fei looked at the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest also saw Gao Fei and saw that Gao Fei was looking at him, so he immediately took the initiative to come over and asked: "This son, we can meet in the vast sea of people, it is also a kind of fate, the old Tao is best at divination, today the poor road and the son are so fateful, let the poor road count a hexagram for the son." ā
"You're going to tell me a fortune?" Goofy asked in surprise.
The Taoist priest shopped the shop and said, "Yes......
Gao Fei said: "Your cloth banner is embroidered with the words 'Ten Hexagrams and Nine Prohibitions', I know that I will be fooled, why do you want you to tell the hexagram for me?" ā
The Taoist priest explained: "Gongzi doesn't know, the poor Dao hexagram is the art taught by the immortals, the poor Dao must be counted enough for people every day to count ten hexagrams, but nine of the ten hexagrams are not allowed, only one hexagram is accurate, today I have calculated the hexagram for nine people, the first nine hexagrams are not accurate, Gongzi is just the tenth person, this hexagram must be accurate." And as long as it is calculated accurately by the hexagram of the poor road, there will soon be a great joy. Childe, stretch out your hand and let me calculate a hexagram for you first. ā
"Just make it up, do you think I'm going to believe you?" Gao Fei said, "Hurry up and leave, I don't have the time to fool around with you here, put away your set, it's okay to deceive a three-year-old child." ā
The Taoist priest said: "What Poor Dao said is the truth, if Childe doesn't believe it, Poor Dao will perform it for Childe on the spot." ā
"Okay, then you can perform, if you are really good, I will believe you." Goofy said with interest.
