The evening of late spring has a hint of restlessness.

In this season of germination, people walk on Jianyangmen Street, and you can see the flags on the street everywhere. It was already dark. The shops on both sides of the street are brightly lit, making the night of this ancient capital full of infinite fun.

Cao Peng did not ride Zhao Yebai, but sat on an ox cart.

The canopy is wide open and the night breeze is blowing.

Sitting in the car, I don't feel bored.

Xia Houlan rode a horse and followed alongside, and a flying eye drove and followed Shi A, walking along the long street, with panoramic views on both sides.

Cao Peng sat in the car, but he was also leisurely.

———————————————————————————————— Kongoya Temple, it sounds strange.

But if you mention another name for its later generations, people may be familiar with it: White Horse Temple! White Horse Temple is one of the earliest three Buddhist temples in Chinese history. Xingyang Donglin Temple, Longmen Xiangshan Temple, and this White Horse Temple. However, the White Horse Temple was originally called King Kong Cliff, which has the meaning of King Kong dwelling.

According to legend, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty slept in the South Palace at night, and the head of the dream gold god released white light and flew around the palace. The next day he learned that the golden god in the dream was extremely Buddhist King Kong, so he sent envoys Cai Yin, Qin Jing and others to the Western Regions to seek Buddha. Buddhism at this time, also known as Futu Buddhism, spread to the Central Plains as early as the Western Han Dynasty, but it was not accepted by too many people. However, in the Western Regions, many countries regard Buddhism as the state religion.

Such as Wusun, Shule, and Qiuzi, it is also a floating slaughter to govern the country.

Cai and Qin met the Tianzhu monks Gasmoteng (a Chemoteng) and Zhu Falan in Yueshi. So he invited these two people to Luoyang to preach Buddhism. This is also the most famous story in the history of Buddhism 'Yongping Seeking the Dharma'. But after all, it is a record in the history of Buddhism, and no one can say for sure. Anyway, after Gashmoten and Zhu Falan came and preached Buddhism to Liu Zhuang, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to imitate the style of Tianzhu Monastery and select an address to build a temple between Beibi Mountain and Luoshui.

Originally, the White Horse Temple existed in the name of the official office, and governed all the monks who went to the Central Plains to preach the Dharma.

If you want to preach the Fa, you must hold the degree of the White Horse Temple, otherwise you will not be protected by the imperial court, and may even be regarded as a cult by the government.

The presiding officer of the White Horse Temple, worshipping the White Horse Temple, is not in the rank of the imperial court, but will receive a monthly salary.

Gasmoten and Zhu Flange at the White Horse Temple...... Originally, it was called the King Kong Cliff Temple, and after settling down, he painstakingly compiled the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra", making it the first scripture translated into Chinese that spread to China. After the compilation of the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra", Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty changed the King Kong Cliff Temple to the White Horse Temple under the pretext that the white horse carried the Buddhist scriptures and the Buddha statues were meritorious. However, many people are still accustomed to calling it Kongoya Temple.

In his previous life, Cao Peng also came to the White Horse Temple.

But to be honest, apart from seeing a bunch of people, they just paid for incense, and they didn't understand any profound Buddhism.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, affected by the war, the White Horse Temple was no longer under the rule of the imperial court, but became a separate Buddhist temple. There are people who believe in Buddhism, especially after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, many Luoyang people began to believe in Buddhism, became Buddhist believers, and offered family property.

Therefore, the White Horse Temple was not greatly affected by the war, but became more and more prosperous.

When Cao Peng arrived at the White Horse Temple, Shi A had been waiting outside the temple for a long time. As soon as he saw Cao Peng, he immediately greeted him warmly, "Childe, why did you only arrive at this time?" ”

"Enjoy the night view on the road, so that it's late, don't blame Shi Daxia."

"Childe is polite...... Today, a few good friends are also there, and when they heard about the name of Childe, they also wanted to pay a visit. Shi Ah took the liberty to call the shots, and he also hoped for Gongzi Haihan. ”

On the way to the White Horse Temple, Cao Peng had already thought of this result, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He smiled slightly, "Shi Daxia, you are polite!" ”

What Zhu Zan said is not wrong, if he wants to seek fame now, he must pay attention to everything he says and does.

Shi Ah is a person who is very angry.

So you have to be cautious when dealing with him.

It can't be too affectionate, and it can't be too distant. There is a 'degree' in this, but overall, Cao Peng's grasp is not bad.

Shi Ah laughed heartily, pulled Cao Peng, and strode into the temple.

In later generations, the White Horse Temple has many scenic spots. For example, the tomb of the two monks, Qiyun Pagoda, Qingliangtai and other scenery...... However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, these scenes did not appear. The tombs of the two monks are just two tombs, and there are two stone tablets erected in front of the tombs, which look simple and simple.

Cao Peng followed Shi Aden to a high platform about six meters high, with rammed earth slabs at the bottom and bluestone on top.

In later generations, this high platform was called Qingliangtai, which is the most famous scenery of the White Horse Temple, and is also known as the 'Sky Garden'.

But now, the sky courtyard is still only a prototype, about 130 square meters of high platform, built with a pavilion with heavy eaves resting on the mountain.

According to later generations, this was once the place where Liu Zhuang studied and retreated from the summer when he was a child, and later changed to a place to translate scriptures.

However, Cao Peng is generally unbelieving...... According to Shi A, this translation platform was clearly built after Kashmorteng and Zhu Falan came to Luoyang. At that time, Liu Zhuang had already ascended the throne...... Presumably, Buddhism made up such a story in order to highlight its own wisdom. In fact, such lies can be seen everywhere in Buddhist scriptures, and they are all deliberately passed down by religion in order to win believers.

Cao Peng was an atheist in his previous life.

He neither opposed nor rejected religion.

Whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, or Christianity, he doesn't have too much bad feelings.

After being reborn, especially when he learned that he still had a great god teacher, Cao Peng unconsciously became more inclined to Taoism.

In the attic, the windows were open on all sides, and seven or eight people were already sitting inside.

"Brother Shi, why are you here now?"

A rough-looking man saw Shi A walk in, and immediately laughed and got up.

Shi Adao: "Brother Zhu, I'll introduce you to ...... This is Cao Babai, who is the author of "Burrow Ming" and "Eight Hundred Character Text", Cao Peng and Cao Gongzi. ”

Cao Eight Hundred?

Cao Peng was stunned when he heard this.

The rough man had already stepped forward, and when he heard Shi A's introduction, he bowed his hand slightly, which was regarded as a salute.

"Brother Shi, you came just in time.

Yesterday I lost so badly in your gambling house, and since you are here today, I wish you to break the money hard to relieve the hatred in your heart. ”

Looking at him like this, he didn't seem to take Cao Peng to heart.

Cao Peng didn't care, and at the same time, he was secretly satisfied with Shi A's introduction just now.

He did not introduce himself as the behind-the-scenes boss of the Shengshi Gambling House, which shows that Shi A is a person who knows how to measure. A person who knows how to advance and retreat and knows how to measure things can always make people feel good. If Cao Peng was polite to Shi A before, it was because Cao Zhen introduced Shi A to him, and this guy's teacher was Wang Yue, the first swordsman in the world, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty taught swordsmanship; Shi A himself served as Cao Pi's swordsmanship teacher for two years, so Cao Peng had to be respected. So now, Shi A's decency and sensibility have made Cao Peng have a good impression. No wonder the eldest brother recommended Shi Ah at that time, this person is really a guy with eyes...... "This person's name is Zhu Dao, and he is a famous snake in Luoyang."

His ancestral home is in Luoyang, and he has a good sword, and his family has quite a lot of property, so he has some influence in Luoyang. ”

Congratulations?

Haven't heard of it!

Cao Peng scratched his nose and said he knew.

Shi A didn't say any more, but took Cao Peng and introduced everyone in the pavilion.

The current White Horse Temple Qing Xuanshuo, his surname is Yuan.

When Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, he took the White Horse Temple with him. In the third year of the first peace, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, and Li Dao and Guo Yan besieged Chang'an, causing chaos in Chang'an. Xuan Shuo held the seal of the previous White Horse Temple, returned to Luoyang, took over the White Horse Temple, and became a new generation of White Horse Temple. However, he, the White Horse Temple, was self-appointed and was not recognized by the imperial court...... Think about it, the court was in a mess at that time, and the little emperor himself could not be protected, who had such leisure and leisure to pay attention to this White Horse Temple?

At that time, the White Horse Temple was dilapidated, and no one was willing to take responsibility.

Since this Yuan Xuanshuo is willing to serve as the secretary of the White Horse Temple, naturally no one objected.

In a flash, seven years.

Compared with the beginning, the White Horse Temple is not known how many times it has prospered, and people have gradually recognized Xuanshuo.

At the same time, Xuan Shuo is very knowledgeable, and he is also fluent in piano and chess. In the seven years he has been in Luoyang, he has made a lot of friends and gradually gained a firm foothold.

After listening to Shi A's introduction, Xuan Shuo hurriedly bowed.

"It turned out to be Cao Babai in person."

Cao Babai again?

Cao Peng had already reacted to the meaning of Cao Babai at this time.

It must be taken from the '800-character text', just like Cai Yong is called Cai Feibai's surname. Cai Yong is famous all over the world for his flying white book, so he respects his flying white as a nickname. Cao Babai is also for the same reason, this title also represents a recognition of Cao Peng by the world. The title of Cao Babai began before the Qingming Dynasty. At that time, Cao Peng was busy traveling, so he didn't pay attention to the name of the outside world.

It's just that the name 'Cao Babai' is too ugly...... But this kind of thing is not something that Cao Peng can decide, so he can only smile bitterly in his heart and approve of the name.

"This is Zhang Liang Zhang Yuanan, Zhang Gongzi."

Shi Ah pointed to a young man and continued to introduce Cao Peng.

Zhang Liang?

Isn't that the leader of the Taiping Dao?

This guy really dares to name him, and he has the same name as the thief.

He was tall and had a burly physique. It is about 180 centimeters, and the raw Kong Wu is powerful and heroic.

"I have been taught by Mr. Pang Yuanan of Jingzhou, but I never thought that I would know another Yuan'an. It seems that I have a relationship with a person named Yuan'an. ”

Zhang Liang was stunned, and then laughed.

Pang Yuanan is Pang Ji, Pang Tong's Laozi.

Unexpectedly, Cao Peng compared himself with the world-famous celebrities, and Zhang Liang's good impression of Cao Peng suddenly doubled.

"This Yuan'an brother, named Zhang Tai, the word Ziyu. Cao Gongzi and Zhang Gongzi are the protégés of Mr. Du Kui, who are good at music and rhythm, and are the best friends of Mr. Xuan Shuo. ”

Zhang Tai, born with weak Wenwen.

With a touch of arrogance on his face, he gave up his hand with Cao Peng.

"Wen Cao 800 has outstanding knowledge and literary talent, I don't know who the teacher is?"

Damn, spell teacher?

Cao Peng bowed his hand slightly, with a humble expression, "I am only a shallow learner in the next place, and I have not yet been taught by a famous teacher." Cao Sikong is because of this, so it is recommended to go to Luhun Mountain and worship Mr. Hu Zhao Hu Kongming as his teacher. This time I passed through Luoyang, and I went to Luhun Mountain to apprentice. ”

If Hu Zhao's situation was not clear, Cao Peng might not have said so.

But he inquired, Hu Zhao was a figure as famous as Zhong Xuan, Handan Chun, Wei Qi and others. Handan Chun, Cao Peng doesn't know much about it, but Wei Qi, who is now guarding Guanzhong, is a celebrity today. As for Zhong Xuan, it is even more amazing, regardless of his birth, reputation or family background, few people can compare. Since Hu Zhao can be as famous as these people, his reputation, as you can imagine, definitely belongs to the best.

It's not that Du Kui is a shallow learner.

Du Kui is a native of Yingchuan, once worshiped Yalelang, and resigned due to illness in the fifth year of Zhongping.

After the war began, Du Kui fled to Jingxiang and lived under Liu Biao's account. Therefore, in terms of fame, Du Kui and Hu Zhao are obviously two levels of characters.

One day, one earth, completely different.

Zhang Tai regarded himself as a disciple of Du Kui, and he was complacent, and he was quite unpopular.

Who knows, Cao Peng's words choked him half to death.

Hu Zhao secluded Lu Hunshan, established a academy, and taught Lu Hunshan's disciples for 300 miles. But in fact, there are only a few people who can be included in the wall of Hu Zhaomen.

Just like in many fantasy novels, there is a distinction between outer disciples and core disciples.

Most of the people in the academy are Hu Zhao's outer disciples, and if they want to become Hu Zhao's personal disciples, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Cao Peng was ordered by Cao Ying to apprentice to Hu Zhao, which could not be an outer disciple, but must be a personal disciple. Otherwise, it would be impossible to bother Cao Ying to come forward.

Zhang Tai's face turned red.

Cowardice didn't know how to answer.

Cao Peng's words were clearly a warning to him: Don't shake your face with me, there are people above Lao Tzu, and even Cao Ying and Cao Sikong have come forward in person to find a teacher for me. Your teacher is Du Kui, yes, but compared to the two people I mentioned, bullshit is not, don't mess with me.

"Xuanshuo layman, there is a distinguished guest coming to the door, why don't you know me?"

Just when Zhang Tai's face was red and he didn't know what to say, a woman's delicate voice suddenly came from outside the attic.

A woman in a tie walked into the attic.

As soon as the woman entered the attic, everyone's eyes lit up.

How to make a light?

The woman's hair is like a cloud, and her shoulders are thin and thin. The eyebrows are curved, revealing thousands of styles, rippling autumn waves, straight noses, and small cherry mouths, which make people can't help but have the urge to pick and taste. The wide silk coat hides the delicate and graceful**, but it is even more tempting...... "Guan Jushi, I was about to ask someone to invite you, but you came by yourself." ”

Hyun Shuo laughed, his voice slightly hoarse.

He turned around and whispered to Cao Peng: "At the foot of this northern mountain, the master of the Chrysanthemum Nunnery, the monk of Yueguan." ”

After saying that, Xuan Shuo stepped forward with a smile, "Guan Jushi came just in time, wait for me to introduce you to a young talent." This is Cao Peng Cao Babai, who made the "Eight Hundred Character Text" not long ago and is famous for "The Burrow". Yesterday, you also said, 'If you don't see Cao 800, it will be in vain to achieve Futu.' Hehe, it's good now, Cao Babai is in front of you, and you have no regrets even if you achieve Futu now. ”

Yue Guan's eyes were as bright as water, and he swept over Cao Peng's body.

For some reason, Cao Peng was excited and hit a chilling cicada......
