Volume 1 Xuanxin Ninety-two, Shengde Peerless Xi Guest
The high-grade Hanshi rolls a mysterious heart
The temple in the north of the county town is large-scale. The main face is five wide. Depth of five frames. Front cornice. The eaves are three feet high. The surrounding eaves pillars are trowel stone pillars. The inner pillar is made of nanmu. There are more than 100 monks in the temple. Tongxuan Temple, Jiankang Waguan Temple, Longgong Temple, Huijiqiguang Temple, and known as the four famous temples in Jiangdong.
The eighth day of April is the Buddha's birthday. However, there are not many pilgrims and believers who come to Tongxuan Temple to bathe in Buddha and offer to monks. Compared with the Qiantang Du Clan Heavenly Master Dojo Tianguan Emperor's birthday celebration that Chen Caozhi participated in on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It's really far inferior.
Chen Caozhi came early. Tongxuan Temple bathed Buddha and offered flowers, and the elders have not yet begun. Chen Caozhi didn't want to join in the fun. Coming to the Buddha Temple to worship the Buddha is the same as participating in the Heavenly Master's Taoist Ritual Celebration. It's nothing more than a wish. When I returned to Chenjiawu at the end of the month, my mother could also comfort my mother when she asked.
Chen Caozhi is in the Daxiong Treasure Hall Buddha. Tell the monks that they want to give incense money. The deacon monk led Chen Caozhi to the side hall. But I saw a young man with a face like a crown of jade and a beautiful beard like lacquer, and instructed his entourage to bring in 15 yuan for worshipping the Buddha and offering to the monks. A hundred is a hundred thousand dollars. This person is bold.
Chen Caozhi only gave 1,000 yuan. The expression is calm. It's business as usual. And there was no embarrassment because the young man had given too much and he had given little. The deacon monk asked him to leave his name in the merit book. He is also not pretentious. Pick up the pen and write it in the style of "Zhang Han Tie" - "Chen Caozhi". Put down the pen. Bow to the monks and monks. I went to the Octagonal Pagoda with Ran Sheng.
The young man saw that he was handsome and free-spirited. So he came over and looked at the merit book. Immediately laughed. said to himself: "It turns out that he is Chen Caozhi." Put Chen Caozhi, who was bedridden in Yangzhou. Well. The calligraphy is also extraordinary. He seems to be a wonderful person. ”
……
Standing on the tower of Tongxuan Temple, looking up at this thirty-zhang high pagoda, it stands majestically. The momentum is extraordinary. Architecture often has a shocking effect, which makes you want to worship.
Chen Caozhiran saluted the monk guarding the tower. Enter the inside of the tower. Tongxuan Temple tower brick body, wooden eaves double-layer sleeve tower body. The inner tower has nine floors. Between the inner and outer tower walls, there is a corridor ladder spiraling upward. Chen Caozhi went up the ladder to the top. Go to the 9th floor of the flat block cloister - look outside. The Tiger Hill not far away is at your feet. I go around to the south side and look out. The bustling ancient Suzhou has always been in the ox carts of the official shops on Mulifang Street. Person......
Sheng said: "Xiao Langjun, you Taoist temple also worships Buddhism and temples." It's weird. It's more than one thing, and asking for two people is likely to be in vain," Ran Sheng wanted to say this a long time ago.
Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "Buddhism and Taoism are connected. Only in one mind. There is nothing to worship? ”
Someone said at the sound of the wooden corridor staircase: "How to communicate with the Buddha and the road"
Chen Caozhi looked back. But it was a young man who had just given 100,000 yuan in the temple. The man wore a scarf. Wearing linen yarn sheets. Medium stature. The face is thin. Danfeng's eyes are slanted. His eyes are sharp, his nose is high, and his lips are tightly pursed when he doesn't speak. Although there is a beauty, it doesn't look too old, but it's not twenty-five. There is a natural majesty and nobility between speech and demeanor.
Chen Caozhi gave up his hand slightly. Said: "Ten thousand years ago." There are saints out of the way. Same mind. The same is true for this; Thousands of generations later, there will be saints. Same mind. The same goes for it. ”
The haired man raised his eyebrows. Asked: "What is the same heart?" What is the same reasoning? ”
Chen Cao's way: "Taoism and natural Buddha say Prajna." This is called the Tao heart and the Buddha heart. In fact, they are all human hearts; Zi said, "Where do you think in the world?" The world is the same but the road is different. Consistent and in a hundred places" so to speak. Isn't there anything in common with Confucianism? ”
Beautiful men have dabbled in Buddhism and Confucianism. The people who interacted with were all famous monks. But I have never heard such a strange thing. Hi again. Asked: "Nothing before Wanhua." Emptiness is the beginning of form. Why? ”
Chen Caozhi said: "Isn't this? The formless form is the image of the nothing. It's trance. I can't see it. And then there was no follow-up. The way of the past is to protect the present. You can know the beginnings. Could it be a truth? ”
The beautiful man's question of "before the transformation of nothing" is the explanation of the famous monk Shi Dao'an of the Jin Dynasty on "Prajna emptiness". Throughout the Eastern Jin Dynasty Buddhism. All of them are born out of the elaboration of "prajna emptiness".
Chen Cao's previous and present lives rarely touched on Buddhist scriptures. I have only read two short Buddhist scriptures - the Diamond Sutra and the Altar Sutra. But now he has a certain amount of research on Lao Zhuang and Zhou Yi. Think back to the "Diamond Sutra" and "Altar Sutra" that I have read before. It's like a blue sky. The meaning of the word is clear.
The bearded man listened to Chen Caozhi explain the Buddhist scriptures with "Lao Tzu". Big surprise. He has seen a lot of scholars who have aided Confucianism and entered the Xuan to understand Confucianism. But he who can explain the Buddhist scriptures in metaphysics has only seen the two eminent monks of Zhidu and Zhidaolin. Chen Caozhi is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. can be broadened to understand the three scriptures of Confucianism and Buddhism. It was so surprising to him. He ordered his retinue to borrow two futons from the monks. One of them sat with Chen Cao. It's on the top floor of the Tonggenji Tower. Quoting scriptures. Argue with each other.
The bearded man is proficient in Buddhist scriptures. It refers to the various theories of the contemporary famous monks, the great virtues, the Buddha, the Anfa, the Zhidu Branch, and the Daolin. Chen Caozhi, on the other hand, knew very little about Buddhism in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Only know the "Diamond Sutra" and the "Altar Sutra". But since he is good at metaphysical speculation. As for the teachings of Miko, such as "coming from nothing", "emptiness of color", and "mind without intention", all kinds of theories can quickly grasp their meanings. Then answer with Lao Zhuang Zhou Yi.
The more the bearded man argued, the more surprised he became, the more he delighted. Lao Zhuang Zhou Yi is just that. The strange thing is that this handsome young man said the witty words of the Shi family, which he had never heard of. The Diamond Sutra was translated by a generation of eminent monks, Kumarosh. Morosh is now in his teens. More than twenty are needed
This Diamond Sutra. With a beautiful bearded man, even if he reads the commentary. Also read the Gang Sutra. The "Altar Sutra" is the transmission of the Dharma Sutra of the founder of Zen Buddhism, the Sixth Patriarch. It won't be around until 400 years later. How can a beautiful man know!
Floating clouds come and go, and the sun shadows move obliquely. The two of them argued on top of this tower for three hours. It's already late afternoon. The hunger and thirst of both sides of the debate. On the contrary, the spirit is refreshed. The young man Ran Sheng listened to the clouds. I can't stand it anymore. complained: "Xiao Langjun." I'm so hungry. Didn't eat in the morning. Laide is also walking around under the tower. ”
Chen Caozhi laughed loudly. Grow up. Said to the beautiful man who couldn't stand up for a while: "No matter how wonderful the discussion is. What's the stomach? Talk about mistakes. This is also said to be a period later. The arch hand took Ran Sheng down the tower.
The bearded man listened to Chen Caozhi's words of "talking about mistakes". Shocked. Xin said: "This son is very human. Everyone in the world is good at talking. No matter what the wise and foolish talk about. This son is talented, good at talking, but he can pull out soberness. Although it is just a faint sentence of "clear talk and misinformation". But so open-minded. I've only seen it in Huan Da Sima. ”
Da Sima Huan Wen was in the second expedition in the twelfth year of Yonghe. Sent troops from Jiangling to the north to attack Yao Xiang, and Huan Wen boarded the building of the big ship on the surging Luo River. Looking north to Shenzhou. He said: "Let the king of Shenzhou 6 Shen 100 years of mound ruins Yifu and everyone not be responsible!" "Wang Yi is Wang Yan, a famous man in the Western Jin Dynasty. It is known for its purity.
Yuan Hong, a staff member of the Huanwen Military Government, defended Wang Yan and said: "There is a rise and fall in luck. It will be the fault of all men! "This is to blame the chaos of the eight kings and the chaos of Huaquan as the rise and fall of fortune.
Huan Wen was furious: "I heard that Jingsheng has a thousand catties of big cow beans ten times that of ordinary cows." Carry the weight and go far. He was not as old as a weak man. Wei Wu entered Jingzhou. Kill them to enjoy the sergeant. ”
This is to compare Yuan Hong, who claims to be a scholar, to a wine bag and rice bag who can eat wine bags and rice bags that don't know how to do things. Guests in your seat. All of them lose their color. If this is very, it can be pushed out and killed, but Huan Wen is still very Jinren. After losing his temper, he treated Yuan Hong as before, and did not hold a grudge because Yuan Hong confronted him in person.
……
I don't know who the beautiful man is. But I feel that his mystical talk is subtle and extraordinary. And the shot is 100,000 dollars. Presumably a child of a family. And it should be a child of a family who already has an official position. The Zhu brothers are also good at talking. But there is no majesty of this beautiful man. Chen Caozhijue's person is the second extremely smart person he has met since Zhu Yingtai.
The three of Chen Cao's master and servant returned to the peach forest to build a small building. It's almost dusk. Cook two meals together.
Night. The Zhu brothers came to talk. Continue to White Horse Non-Horse. Chen Caozhi shook his head and smiled: "Let's talk about it, I met a master in Tongxuan Temple today." He argued with me for three hours. Duo's voice is a little hoarse now. ”
Zhu Yingtai listened to Chen Cao's voice a little hoarse. Qi said: "What is this person's surname?" can argue with Brother Zizhong for three hours. It must be the name of the day. ”
Chen Caozhi said: "I didn't ask for my name. The man had a beautiful beard. ”
Zhu Yingting looked at his brother. said: "Could it be Sun Qi Sun Xinggong?" Sun Xinggong is a beauty. ”
Zhu Yingtai shook his head and said, "Xinggong is fifty years old." How can I have a long talk with my brother? ”
Chen Caozhi said: "That man has not passed the year of standing - don't talk about him." Brother Yingtai. Guess first. ”
When you are playing chess. Ding Chunqiu came here in the city. said that he would return to Qian Tang with his father Ding Yi tomorrow. Q: Does Chen Caozhi have a letter from home?
Chen Caozhi apologized to Zhu Yingtai. Push the slam up. Go back to your room and write a letter to your family. The fourth uncle, Chen Xian, and his brother Chen Shang returned to Qiantang at the end of last month. I brought three letters he wrote to his mother and Zong Zhirun'er. This time I wrote a letter to my sister-in-law. Reporting safety and talking about learning and ordering products. As for the matter with 6. Chen Caozhi wanted to talk to his sister-in-law. Ask your sister-in-law to guide him. But it is inconvenient to write on the letter of 6. I only waited until I went back at the end of the month to tell my sister-in-law.
Ding Chunqiu rested in the peach forest tonight. Early the next morning. Go to Xu's Academy to bid farewell to Dr. Xu Zao. Dr. Xie Xu's teachings. Xu Zao is also warm and reluctant.
Liu Shangwei and Chen Cao followed Ding Chunqiu into the city. Ding Yi, Ding Chunqiu, father and son returned to Qian Tang. 6And Nah sent a subordinate officer1 to see him off for the Tinshetes. Wu Junshi also had someone to send it. But there were almost no of them of the first class. They are all second-class scholars. Don't say how big the gap is between the Han family and the Shi clan. Even there is an invisible but ever-perceivable gap between the inferior clans and the high-ranking clans.
Chen Caozhi knows how difficult his road ahead is!
Bid farewell to Ding Yi's father and son. Chen Caozhi and Liu Shangzhi returned to Taolin Xiaozhu. But I saw two deacons from the 6th Mansion hurriedly turning around in front of the grass hall. At first sight, Chen Caozhi. Hurried over to salute. The fat deacon of the 6th Mansion said, "Chen Lang." Come with me to the 6 envoys. Chen Langjun can't be found. It almost killed me. "I can't help but say. Pull Chen Caozhi and leave. Said the carriage stopped outside the peach grove.
Chen Caozhi saw that the two deacons of the 6 mansions were sweating profusely. Ask, "What has the prince called me?" Could it be a lady's flower affair? ”
The fat 6 Mansion Governor came to take over Chen Caozhi last time and went to Huating to treat Lotus Chunlan. Hearing this, he wiped his sweat. smiled: "6 Little Lady's flower affairs are important. But it's not so urgent. This time it's 6 envoys who want to see you. instructed Chen Langjun to be invited as soon as possible. ”
Chen Caozhi didn't know what was going on. 6. When the carriage came to the Taishou Mansion, there were already officials waiting. said that the envoy had urged him many times. led Chen Caozhi to the main hall 6 to meet Chen Caozhi in the study. Why is it so solemn this time in the main hall?
Chen Caozhi stood under the hallway. wait
Notification. A moment in time. And he saw 6 Nah himself come out. A little reproachful. How did you get there. Someone has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Chen Caozhi saluted deeply and said: "I have seen 6 envoys. Cao Yi, who went early to see off the father and son of Ding Sheren, summoned the envoy Jun Xiangzhao and came immediately. ”
6 Na suddenly said, "It's the people of Dingshe who are leaving the county today." I'm on my way to see them off. "With Chen Caozhi's hand. Side by side, they entered the hall and asked with a smile: "it." Do you know who is so anxious to see you? ”
Chen Caozhi replied: "I don't know. ”
I heard a few laughs from someone in the hall. said: "Qian Tang Chen Caozhi forgot the person who debated on the Xuan Pagoda overnight? ”
Between words. There is one person in the hall. The phoenix eyes are mighty. Hair fluttering. It was the young man who had a hard time with Chen Cao in Tongxuan Temple yesterday.
6. Let go of Chen Cao's hand. Laughing: "it." He knows you. Do you know him? ”
Chen Caozhi said with a deep sigh: "If you don't know how to understand ten thousand words; If you say knowledge. I don't know the name of the honorific name. ”
Na heartily laughed and asked: "Have you ever heard such a sentence - the peerless guest Jiangdong Dubu Wang Wendu"
Chen Caozhi's eyebrows raised like ink paintings. Staring at the man that year, he said, "The honorable driver is the guest of the beautiful beard?" Long admiration. Long admiration"
The young man stroked his long hair under his chin. Asked, "How can't I be Wang Wendu?" ”
6Na laughed: "Haha. Army. Wang Tanzhi, where are you such a beard. it out of the county. I also know the name of your ginseng. However, this is the first time I have heard of the title of "beautiful bearded man". What the hell did you hear about it? ”
Chen Caozhi: "I joined the army at first sight." See its long flowing hair. The word "beautiful bearded man" blurted out. ”
6 Na smiled and said, "Wonderful." After the word "Meigong", he joined the army. ”
Chen Caozhi followed 6 Na into the hall. Guests sit on their knees. Looking at the beautiful man sitting across from him. Xin said: "I really didn't expect him to be a guest." This person is the first staff member of the Huanwen Military Government. The wisdom is deep. He is the most relied on think tank of Huan Wen. Huan Wen is heroic. There are very few people who can be admired by him. After a conversation with the weak crown of the young man. I admire it very much. It is often said that it is unfathomable. So he was courteous. also formed a deep friendship with Huan Wen. He has been serving in the Huanwen Military Government. Huan Wen's two Northern Expeditions. They are all masterminds. ”
There are many anecdotes in "The World Speaks New Words". Born in the Takahira clan. It is the gate valve of the old qualification of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His grandfather Jian was a lieutenant. His father is the history of Xuzhou Thorn. My aunt's husband is Wang Xizhi. The prestige of the clan is not under Wang Xie Huanyu. And he is a genius of the day. The history is called "Zhuo Unruly." There is a degree of grandeur. Jiaoyu Shilin. Every save wins. Good at talking. Righteousness is subtle". Xie An also thinks that talent is above his Xie nephews......
He believes in the way of the Heavenly Master. Keen to amass family wealth. But he believes in Buddhism. Treat money like dung. once scattered tens of millions of dollars a day. In this way, it seems that yesterday's donation of 100,000 yuan in Tongxuan Temple is really nothing.
Chen Caozhi said that Jiuyang was by no means polite. Such a famous disciple is the first-rate person of the Wei and Jin dynasties who has both appearance and talent. It's not just a so-called celebrity who is running naked in clothes and waving his tail, but he talks about it in Japan and ignores practice.
Look at Chen Caozhi. smiled: "I was ordered by Da Sima to go to the meeting to invite Xie Anshi out of the mountain." Passing through Kure County. I heard that Yu Nei Shi was infected with a disease. Therefore, it is in vain that Dow came to visit. Because of yesterday's Buddha's birthday. and did not go into the city to meet the 6 envoys. Go to the Buddha first. met Chen Caozhi. Long talk from the Tower. I feel that Cao is very knowledgeable and eloquent. The internal history is not wronged. ”
Let's talk about it. Laugh with 6 Na. This is the case with the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Sometimes pay attention to elegance, pay attention to Mount Tai collapsed in front of you, and the eyes are not instantaneous. Sometimes he laughs and scolds and is willful. Schadenfreude is not hidden. It seems that this one is not good for either. And it's no wonder. Yu Xi regarded Huan Wen as an enemy. It's Huan Wen's mastermind. Naturally, Yu Xi will not have much kindness.
6 Na Dao: "The DPRK has been recruited several times before. Xie Angu couldn't resign. I don't know that this time I joined the army thousands of miles away. Will Xie An still shirk? ”
Said: "Anout." Like the world! Suddenly, the conversation changed. Question: "Do you think Xie Anshi will come out of the mountain this time?" ”
Chen Caozhi knew that in later generations, Shi Xie An was promoted to the fourth year of Shengping and served as Sima of the Huanwen Military Mansion. Shengping is four years old, that is, next year. The main reason why Xie An went out of the mountain was that Xie Wanbei was demoted to a concubine after the defeat of the conscription. He died of depression immediately. The Xie family is in jeopardy. Xie An didn't go out of the mountain. But what is strange about Chen Caozhi is. I have talked about Buddhism with him before. At this time, he suddenly asked about current affairs. I don't know what the purpose is? He replied: "Xie Wanshi can take on a heavy responsibility. Xie Anshi did not come out. ”
A look of surprise in his eyes. Does this sixteen-year-old boy have a delicate heart? How can you see things so thoroughly! Smiled and asked, "According to you." Can Xie Wanshi take on the heavy responsibility? ”
Chen Caozhi said: "Ginseng is making fun of me." The court employs people. I'm just a little bit of a life. How dare you argue. ”
Wise and perceptive eyes looked at Chen Caozhi. smiled: "Then let's not talk about this for now." Yesterday, he talked about dry mouth on the tower. The sense of consciousness is not enough. Today, I would like to argue with Cao alone. Excuse me. I'm going to the meeting tomorrow. After the meeting. ”
Chen Caozhi had a feeling. I won't just talk to him about the Buddha. There should have been something else to say. That is: "I can listen to the high arguments of joining the army." Solid wishes also. ”
