Chapter 24: To the Nine Plains
Jiuyuan County is in the south of Wuyuan County, and it is the seat of Wuyuan County, and Taishou Mansion is here. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wuyuan County has three military commanders, namely, eastern, western, and central governors, and the provincial commanders are under the jurisdiction of Changshi, and the specific military movements are under the responsibility of Sima, which means that Su Wei is the official of these three commanders.
After Gao Shun left the post of Eastern Governor, his successor was his cronies, so this Eastern Governor was actually still in his pocket, and it was also the Gao family's sphere of influence, and there was no way for others to get involved.
Su Wei understood this truth, so he gave up the idea of setting nails here at the beginning of his tenure, after all, he was not allowed to set foot here in public or private.
However, although the Eastern Governor's Governance Office cannot be mixed with sand, there is no such problem in the other two departments, and only after sorting out these two major governance offices can Su Wei be regarded as a veritable Sima, otherwise it is just an ornament.
In order to sort out the relationship between these aspects, Su Chen took the first step and went to Jiuyuan, striving to do something before Taishou took office, while Su Chen stayed at home for the time being, dealing with the trivial matters at home, and after everything was done, he asked Su An to take a hundred private soldiers to escort the goods of his family members one step ahead, and he followed closely behind Cao Xing and Hao Meng.
On this day, the three people rode by Qingliang Mountain, only to see from afar, the temples on the mountain are lined up one after another, the pagoda is skyscraper, the temple is majestic, and the gold is brilliant.
Su Chen was secretly curious, could it be that Buddhism has now spread to the Han Dynasty?
This is what he didn't know, Buddhism was introduced to Wutai Mountain (called Qingliang Mountain at this time), and the general saying is that it began in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
According to historical records, in December of the tenth year of Yongping (67 AD), Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to the Western Regions to seek the law and two Indian monks, Jiaye Morteng and Zhu Faran, came to Luoyang.
In the eleventh year of Yongping, a monastery was built in the south of the royal road outside the Xiyong Gate in Luoyang City for these two Indian monks to live. In order to commemorate the White Horse Negative Sutra ("Forty-two Chapters Sutra") to lose the image (Buddha statue), because of the name of the White Horse Temple.
In the eleventh year of Yongping, Jiaye Moteng and Zhu Falan came to Wutai Mountain from Luoyang. Since there was a relict stupa of Emperor Ashoka in the mountain for a long time, and because Mount Wutai was the place where Manjushri performed and lived, he and his wife wanted to build a temple here.
However, due to the fact that Wutai Mountain was a Taoist base at that time, the two of them were quite excluded, so they learned about Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty. In order to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of Buddhism and Taoism, the Han court allowed monks and Taoist priests to perform, explain, and verify, so the two sides reached an agreement - an appointment to burn the scriptures to distinguish the authenticity (according to legend, the place of burning the scriptures was in present-day Xi'an). As a result of the burning of the scriptures, all the Taoist scriptures were burned, but the Buddhist scriptures were intact, so the two of them obtained the right to build a temple.
Su Chen grew up in the temple in his previous life and had a good impression of the temple, so the three of them dismounted and walked up the stairs.
Walking to the mountain, I saw two vermilion gates, Hao Meng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, a bald monk came out to open the door.
Seeing the round bald head, Su Chen was quite kind, and threatened that he was a passing scholar, and he saw the light of the Buddha shining on the mountain, so he took the liberty to visit.
The monk introduced the three of them into the temple, and at this time, there were not many people who believed in Buddhism, so the temple was a little deserted.
After a while, an old monk with white eyebrows came out to greet him, and Su Chen made a joke, which immediately shocked the old monk.
"The donor turned out to be a person who believed in Buddhism, and the old monk never greeted him from afar, forgave his sins, forgave his sins." At this time, there were not many people who believed in Buddhism, and there were even fewer scholars, but there were also people in the family who believed in Buddhism.
At that time, he was in Guangxing Buddhist temple in Xiapi County, and asked the people of Xiapi County to recite Buddhist scriptures day and night, which made monks, nuns and Buddhists from nearby counties move into Xiapi County, and there were more than 5,000 households. Every time the Buddha celebrates his birthday, the cost of holding a banquet on the side of the road alone is calculated in units of 100 million.
At this time, Taoism is the mainstream religion, the power is huge, the two major sects of Tianshi Dao and Taiping Dao are developing rapidly, especially Taiping Dao, which has millions of believers.
Although Su Chen didn't know much about Buddhism, he had been chanting scriptures and sending them to the Buddha since he was a child, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, a few verses came out from time to time, which made the old monk stunned for a moment, and he was directly shocked.
"The donor really has great wisdom, but I forgot to introduce it, the old monk Ka Ye Moteng, there is a reluctant request, I don't know if the donor is willing to believe in my Buddha?"
"Great monk, you are Ka Ye Moteng?" The two of them had just talked about the introduction of Buddhism to the Han Dynasty, so how could Su Chen not know the name of Jiaye Moteng, but he didn't expect that this old guy was still alive, and he was afraid that he would not be more than one hundred and fifty this year, right?
"The old monk is exactly!" Jia Ye seemed to have really moved Su Chen's idea of accepting apprentices, and he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Are you strange why the old monk came out to see you?" To tell you the truth, as soon as you stepped into the temple, the old monk felt that you had a great opportunity with my Buddha, so he personally tried it, and sure enough, you are a person with wisdom roots. ”
Su Chen ignored his flickering for the time being, but asked, "So, great monk, don't you have a hundred and fifty years of life now?" I don't know where you are? ”
Hearing this, Ka Ye smiled and replied, "The old monk has spent a hundred and fifty years in vain, and he has not yet reached the realm of divine illumination. ”
"What? You're actually a master of the Divine Illumination Realm? It's no wonder that Su Chen didn't believe it, because from this big monk, he didn't feel the slightest bit of a master's breath, which was completely different from when he got along with Wang Yue at the beginning, although Wang Yue was restrained, but he was still sometimes taken by the other party's momentum, especially when looking at each other.
He chatted with this old monk just now, and he didn't feel the momentum of a master at all, his whole person seemed to be half-dead, if you didn't perceive it carefully, you really couldn't believe that there was a living person sitting in front of you.
"The old monk is practicing Buddhism, which is not the same as the exercises of the Daomen, and there is no specific realm division, but it refers to the popular martial arts realm today, which corresponds to the Shenzhao period!"
As soon as Jia Ye said this, Su Chen was suddenly in awe, so to speak, the strength of this old monk is only higher than that of Shen Zhao, if he can really hug such a thigh, then what is he afraid of Taiyuan Wang?
However, this idea was only a little bit of a sign and was extinguished by him, you must know that he has now worshiped Wang Yue as a teacher, a teacher for a day, a teacher for life, and it is taboo to change the court, not to mention that Wang Yue regards him as a parent, even if the master agrees, he is not willing to change the court.
"The great monk praised it, the kid already has a teacher, and he really failed the great monk."
As soon as Su Chen's words fell, he found that his arm was grabbed by the other party, and his heart was in turmoil, and he said in his heart, Is this old monk really shameless? If the soft one is not good, it will come to the hard one, no wonder people in later generations like to scold the monk and the bald donkey, it is really not a son of man.
However, it was obvious that his worries were superfluous, and Jia Ye just probed his pulse with his hand and said, "You don't practice the method of qi cultivation now, and I don't feel the mark of the master on you, so you don't have a teacher, am I right?" ”
After Jia Ye finished speaking, he looked at Su Chen with a smile, he was like an old fox, and he didn't know how to learn this thing, you must know that this product is a Tianzhu person, not a Han person.
Without waiting for Su Chen to speak, Jia Ye said again: "You are only the cultivation of the Yi Jin period now, and you have just stepped into this door, if you want to break through, it is impossible to do it in three years and five years, if you enter my door, I can teach you yoga, yoga is the secret of Tianzhu, it has the effect of easy tendon and bone forging, it is suitable for you to start cultivating now, after you practice, within half a year, you can become easy tendon and become successful, how about it?" Do you want to think again? ”
Yi Jin Jing?
Hearing the yoga technique, Su Chen subconsciously thought of the Yi Jin Sutra, this Yi Jin Sutra has the effect of Yi Jin washing the marrow, no wonder this old monk has cultivated so deeply, it turned out that he had practiced the Tianzhu Yoga Sutra.
Not to mention, hearing this yoga technique, Su Chen was really a little tempted, although the old monk didn't know that he had hole cards, and it didn't take three or five years to break through the Yijin period, but this Yijin Sutra was a technique that could be cultivated to the Shenwu Realm, so far, this was the only mastery of the Shenwu Realm that he had ever heard, and it was fake to say that he was not moved.
But he was just tempted, and after listening to Jiaye's words, Su Chen still shook his head.
But this Ka Ye still did not give up, and continued to add oil and fire: "Not only that, although I practice yoga, but I also have some knowledge of the yin and yang of your Han Dynasty Taoism, including alchemy, I have been based on the Taoist Pei Yuan Dan method, slightly improved, refined a kind of pill, called Dizang Dan, after taking it, you can improve the cultivation of a Jiazi, although you don't need it now, but if you break through the Qi Cultivation Realm and take it, you can immediately go straight to the innate without suffering from years of accumulated cultivation." ”
"Such a?"
Su Chen was a little unconvinced, what is this Pei Yuan Dan, he had heard Wang Yue say that Pei Yuan Dan is a level higher than Zhuji Dan, it is for Qi Realm martial artists to take, the effect is to consolidate the foundation of Pei Yuan, it can quickly recover True Qi after the True Qi is exhausted, and even directly break through a small realm.
This Pei Yuan Dan is hard to find, Wang Yue took the Jiuyang Flower just to invite someone to refine the Pei Yuan Dan.
As soon as he heard what the old monk said, Su Chen didn't believe it, but obviously the other party didn't lie to him, so he couldn't help but ask in curiosity: "Is there really such a magical pill?" ”
If there is really such a miraculous elixir, only one is needed, and he will be able to subdue a second-rate general, that is, a martial general who practices the Qi Realm, which general can resist such a temptation?
Take Gao Shun as an example, now that he is a cultivator in the Qi Sea Stage, if he takes this Dizang Pill, he will at least be able to break through to the Danding Stage, and even directly break through the True Martial Realm.
You must know that the further you go, the more difficult it becomes to break through the bottleneck, Gao Shun has broken through the Qi Sea Period for several years, but there is still a long way to go to reach the realm of Lingtai Qingming.
The road of martial arts, every step is hard, a pill, for some cold generals, it is worth exchanging with one body. What's more, if a character who can come up with such an elixir, where is it not worth them to follow?
Seeing that he had finally taken the bait, Jia Ye secretly laughed in his heart, and ordered someone to take a copper metal box, and before he could fully open it, a thick medicinal fragrance overflowed the room, refreshing people's hearts, as if he could live a hundred years by smelling it.
