Chapter 9 Bhikshus are not easy to be

Seamless Tower, not Wufeng Tower. Wu Feng is a great figure in Taiwanese textbooks, as if to say that during the Qing Dynasty, the aborigines had the habit of getting grass, and Wu Feng was a local official, who has always been very friendly to those aborigines, and is also very loved among the aborigines.

However, Wu Feng repeatedly persuaded the aborigines not to get out of the grass and not to cut off people's heads, but the aborigines just didn't listen, and they were very determined to maintain their traditional customs. However, Wu Feng used his prestige to suppress the habits of the aborigines. However, pressing back and forth is not an option.

Finally, one day, Wu Feng told the aborigines that one day there would be a little red riding hood, who was captured by the big wolf, and asked them to rescue...

It seems that something has been messed up, in short, in order to improve the bad habits of the aborigines, Wu Feng put on a big red robe, covered his face, dressed up as a big red riding hood, rode a white horse, and was deliberately killed by the aborigines. By the time the aborigines found out that they had killed Wu Feng, who was very beloved, it was too late to regret it. After that, the custom of grass production was changed.

Li Chen remembered that this was taught in the primary school textbooks, and then in the Chiayi area, a monument was erected for Wu Feng. A portrait was erected to commemorate his exploits in those years. Because Wu Feng is recorded as Alishan's master.

A few years later, anyway, a few years after Li Chenguo graduated from elementary school, this matter was deleted from the textbook because it slandered the aborigines. Second, it is difficult to say whether there is really such a person, or whether this person in the world is so great.

In short, when Li Chen couldn't think about it anymore, Lifan finally let him go, and let Li Chen go back to rest with his mind full of meditation.

I didn't see this little novice in front of him with a broken mouth, but when he introduced the Dazheng Zen Master's seamless tower, Fan's mouth seemed to have opened a hole, his face flushed, and he poured out many of the lives of the Dazheng Zen Master like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"Zen Master Dazheng, whose Dharma name is Huizhong, is a disciple of Master Huineng of the Sixth Patriarch. At that time, the Zen master had a premonition that his limit was approaching, in addition to asking Emperor Daizong to build this temple. I also had a period of meditation with the saint.'"

At the beginning, Li Chen listened with great interest, six groups of Huineng. This great name is like thunder, what Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform, but the sentence Zen is very famous. No wonder he was invited by Daizong, almost like the kind of Nobel Prize winner who has to be a disciple in later generations. There are Nobel Prizes every year, and there are many different projects, but there are not so many disciples of the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism.

"Emperor Daizong asked the Zen master, what can be done by a Zen master, and the Zen master said, please ask the sage to build a seamless pagoda." "The saint asked: What is to be done?" "The Zen master was silent for a while and said, the saint will not. Can I ask my disciple then? source.'

I listened to it with interest for a while, and I didn't study Buddhism much Li Chen almost collapsed, don't talk about it, okay... I have to say a lot, Li Chen wants to ask, are you the reincarnation of Tang Seng, are you the reincarnation of Tang Seng, are you the reincarnation of Tang Seng....

Li Chen could only fight with cranky thoughts, and finally got to let him go. He fled in disarray.

Li Chen finally cleared up for a while, and in the afternoon, close to evening, the monks in the temple finished their evening class and prepared to eat. Li Chen walked into the dining hall with the dinner bell.

"I said, 'Senior brother, can you give a little more?' That's not enough.'" Li Chen took his own eating utensils, which were also distributed by the temple, and saw that the monk who was in charge of giving the food only gave a little, so he spoke.

"That's enough for this, such a big man is not afraid of eating up our temple." Give the monks food, and feel like flies to drive Li Chen away. "But no, my Buddha is merciful and opens the door of convenience, but I can't just give it to anyone." A few monks ridiculed Li Chen with every word you said, which made Li Chen's face red, so he could only bow his head, pick up the food and leave.

"He's fine. Not long after I came, there were people who lived for many years, and they didn't give much money for sesame oil, and they only ate every day." , Li Chen knew who they were talking about, a young man outside. Very young, but pale.

This gentleman seems to have lived for a long time, Li Chen saw him yesterday and wanted to greet him, but people didn't dump him. Arrogant and tight. People ignore him, and Li Chen is not interested in sticking to other people's cold butts. Naturally, I didn't see it.

(The fingers are all white, so why do you want to stay in that case?) Li Chen's face was flushed, and the pseudo-scholar was also talked about, and it was not the same thing on the surface, but Li Chen saw that he was holding ten hands, and they were all white because of the lack of blood in the grip.

Li Chen thought for a moment and remembered one thing. The temples of the Tang Dynasty seem to provide the appearance of eating for nothing, as long as you give a little money, sesame oil money, you can eat for nothing and live for a long time. I remember a poem, "Thirty years of dust, now I have a sand cage."

It seems to be talking about a Tang Dynasty poet who once blessed in a temple for a long time and had no money. As a result, one day, he heard the dining hall beating the dinner bell, and he went to eat. But when I arrived at the dining hall, I found that He Shang had already finished eating in the temple.

It turned out that those monks in the temple deliberately ate early and waited until they finished eating. The purpose was to embarrass him.

As a result, feng shui took turns, and this scholar went to high school. When he revisited the old place, he found that the poems he had on the temple wall back then were actually covered by the monk with a veil to avoid being stained with dust. Then he made another poem to satirize these monks.

From this point of view, the temple in the Tang Dynasty seemed to be an almshouse, and whoever came to eat and live, as long as he donated some sesame oil money, he could live as long as you wanted, and he didn't bring anyone to get it.

But if you don't drive people, you don't drive people, you can't stop those pears and say some strange things to stimulate you. Or think of some means to let those residents who have been eating and drinking for too long leave by themselves.

"Hmph, what's the big deal. I'll leave tomorrow." I don't know how long that scholar has lived and how many cold words he has suffered, Li Chen can't stand it anymore and decides to leave tomorrow. These monks are too uncultivated, and they are still the Sixth Ancestor Huineng Zen Master, and then pass on the disciples.

After dinner, Li Chen arrived at the Ning Yue Pavilion and looked up at the sky. This is a place for people to rest after the mountain gate, anyway, there is no one now, Li Chen is alone in the pavilion looking at the moon.

"The moon is so round, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, or has it passed?" , Li Chen thought about what he would do in the future. In this Tang Dynasty, life is unfamiliar. He had already thought about it in the afternoon, and then he thought about what to do in the future, and now he had made up his mind that he would leave tomorrow, and that he would no longer be subjected to the cold words of those snobbish monks, and he must think about himself and how he would support himself.

If it was in the era he was familiar with, he would have gone to odd jobs. Even if you are in a different place, as long as you can understand the language, you can always find a job opportunity.

But he is now, 100 percent in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. Although the language is fluent, the problem is that the culture is very different.

Let's take language as an example, when I first came to life, I didn't pay attention. Now I noticed that there is a gap between the language of the Tang people and the modern people. It is not that Chinese mainland uses Mandarin, nor does Taiwan use Beijing films. It is a language similar to Hakka, but with more syllables.

Not only the language, but also the grammar of the Tang people is different from that of modern people. If it weren't for his body allowing him to bring his own language, and directly crossing over his body, it would be difficult to understand the first language alone.

Although the Chinese boast, five thousand years of history. Among the four ancient kingdoms of Wenming, the only one has been handed down to the present. But in fact, there is a fault line in Chinese culture. During the Mongol and Yuan periods, there was a fault.

During the reign of the Mongol Yuan, it had a profound impact on China. For example, the term province is a dryland-level unit, which was completely invented by the alien race Demeng Yuan. The meaning of saving was originally the province of the book in the line.

It seems that there are no counties in Taiwan, and each place has a provisional executive yuan. Move the system of the Executive Yuan to the local government to deal with things within a certain scope, which is referred to as the Executive Yuan. Since then, there will be no XX County, all of them are called XX Hospitals.

It is said that the Mongols are uneducated, and the system of the Chinese dynasties is inherited from the past to the future, and then slowly changed. The Ming Dynasty inherited the system of the Mongols, but the Mongols did not have the intention of learning the system of the Song Dynasty at all. There was no sense of learning Han culture, so the Mongols would have been driven out in less than a hundred years, and the Manchus could have three hundred years.

"In the Tang Dynasty, it was not easy to be a monk." , Li Chen knew that he was thinking a little far, but the Tang Dynasty was a thousand years away from the era he was familiar with, and there was a Mengyuan among them, and there was a big gap between what customs.

This unfamiliar dynasty has always liked to plan and then move Li Chen, but now he is really at a loss. In the afternoon, he once thought about becoming a monk in the temple.

He recalled that in his memory of the Tang Dynasty, wasn't there an empress who became a nun in her early years? Then perform a victory reversal. He also wanted to be a monk and see if he could also make a big comeback.

He tentatively asked Fan, can he be a monk in the Longevity Temple? As a result, the imagination is plump and the reality is skinny. If you want money, you can have money.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was not easy to become a monk, so you had to buy it first. It means that the official derives a home permit. Because in the Tang Dynasty, monks had many preferential treatments, such as not having to pay taxes, not having to pay taxes on their fields, and not having to do labor.

Therefore, the official will order to sell some degrees, so that those who want to become a monk can buy a ordination permit from the official. The official regarded the taxes that this person has to pay for the rest of his life and take back some of them in advance.

A degree of money costs about 2,000 yuan. It doesn't seem like much, but the problem is that Li Chen doesn't. And even if you had, you wouldn't have anywhere to buy it...

That's not all, even if you have a degree, you still have to pay a sum of money to the temple to buy a ring. Another expense... The money for quitting money is actually the accommodation and food expenses for the temple, and even a little more generous to the temple, and will give you two seasons of monk's clothes, which is quite cost-effective, but the problem is that Li Chen has no money...

"Money, money, money is not everything, but without money, it is absolutely impossible."
