Entrance to the Royal Palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Du He was wearing a simple warrior uniform, and leaned on an unpretentious carriage with some boredom.

Yesterday, he learned about Li Shimin's arrangement from the palace mouth, and he was very unhappy. This protects Changle and accompanies Changle to play, which is a matter of hesitation. But why add a Gao Yang? Thinking of the superb girl who was hiding under the bed and planning to listen to the happy voice between herself and Changle Cave Room, it really hurts.

For today's trip, there is also some rejection.

Chang'an is such a big place, that is not a good game. It is better to go to the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor and pay homage to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin than to go to any temple and see a group of monks chanting the scriptures.

To put it bluntly, Du He does not have a good impression of monks and Buddhism.

Although he did not reject Buddhism, he really could not agree with some of the theories of Buddhism.

What is impermanent, all laws and no self are.

If human life is a fixed number, and does not seek to surpass oneself and self-innovation, then there is no such thing as human beings in the world, and it is because of human curiosity and innovative and adventurous spirit that they can evolve from apes to humans, and then continue to develop to the present.

As for the familiar putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, it's even more fucking bullshit. A murderous maniac, let go of a lot of sins, and become a Buddha with a knife? The sins of the past have disappeared, this Buddha is too worthless, and the world is not in chaos?

Become a Buddha, chant sutras, have no desires and no desires?

How could this man possibly do that?

A good time to listen to a group of monks chanting scriptures is really a waste of time.

Helpless!

He is now a wage earner, and the boss has spoken, but he can only obey.

After waiting for a long time, a luxurious carriage appeared from the palace, handed over the palace documents, and drove out of the palace.

Before the carriage had stopped, a beautiful shadow had jumped from behind the carriage, her hands outstretched, looking up at the sky, it was the clever and eccentric Princess Gaoyang.

"Gao Yang, don't twist your feet." Changle lifted the curtain of the car, with a look of anger, obviously startling Gao Yang's action of jumping out of the car.

"It's fine!" Gao Yang smiled sweetly and said, "The air outside the palace is better than in the palace...... Huh......" She wanted to help Changle get out of the car, but when Yu Guang saw Du He waiting on the side, she smiled sweetly, shook her hand and shouted: "Brother-in-law!" He left Changle and ran to where Du He was.

Gao Yang was dressed in a long blue fur, with small boots on his feet, and his well-groomed face looked particularly delicate.

Du He greeted him and gestured to Gao Yang, but his eyes fell on Changle behind him. Changle is still wearing a white fur, so beautiful that he is as beautiful as the person in the painting, and he is worthy of the name of natural beauty.

Although I haven't seen it for half a day, it feels like every other autumn.

Du He looked at Changle, and it happened that she was also looking at him, and with a touch of his eyes, Changle saw the longing in Ailang's eyes, his pretty face flushed, and he lowered his eyes and called softly: "Du Lang." ”

Gao Yang saw that Du He's eyes only glanced at him, and the rest of his eyes fell on Changle, stomped his feet, sulked secretly, blocked the sight of the two, and said, "Don't look at it, there is time for you to see, now set off and go to Hongfu Temple." ”

Du He let the second daughter get into the car and said: "A set of clothes has been prepared for you in the car, your body is too eye-catching, people can perceive their identity, and they can't have fun at all." Change into an ordinary lady's outfit to avoid extra trouble. ”

Changle and Gao Yang were wearing extremely rare silk and satin at this time, with their innate noble temperament and glamorous appearance, standing in the crowd was definitely a white swan in the duck flock, and it was impossible not to be eye-catching.

Du He has the heart of playing, and he doesn't want people to watch as orangutans, and he has already prepared everything.

The second daughter travels, mainly Duhe, and there is no opinion.

After the two daughters changed their clothes, Du He personally drove west to Hongfu Temple.

Hongfu Temple is one of the largest temples in Chang'an.

Located in the west of Chang'an City, Du He sent people to investigate Hongfu Temple in order to ensure safety after receiving the order yesterday.

As he thought, Hongfu Temple is famous in Chang'an, and the abbot in the temple is one of the famous monks in Chang'an, Master Nayan.

Speaking of this Nayan Master, it can be said that everyone among the Buddhist believers knows it, and everyone knows it. He was abandoned in Shaolin Temple since childhood, grew up in the temple, and the Buddha has a fate, at the age of five he learned Hinayana and Mahayana Buddhism, he was thirteen years old familiar with the "Myoho-renge-kyo", "Vima Sutra", at the age of fifteen became a well-known monk, Zen for ten years, then traveled the world, ten years ago by Xiao Yu invited, lived in Hongfu Temple, the following year was promoted to preside. It is rumored that Nayan Buddhism is highly praised and has a reputation full of Beijing teachers, and is as famous as Master Xuanzang, who disappeared and is going to Tianzhu to learn scriptures.

After Master Xuanzang disappeared, Nayan became the most profound monk of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.

This gathering of all the monks in Chang'an to Hongfu Temple to discuss the scriptures and worship the Buddha was also the first to be proposed, and the sponsor was Xiao Yu, the former prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Yu advocates Buddhism, has great respect for the monks who have attained the Tao, has funded the repair of temples many times, and has also invited monks to Chang'an many times to preach Buddhism. Nayan is just one of them, before Xuanzang traveled west, it was also because of Xiao Yu's invitation to stay in the solemn temple in Chang'an.

Buddhism can flourish day by day in the Tang Dynasty, and Xiao Yu is one of the great heroes.

The closer you get to Hongfukuji Temple, the more you can feel the power of the believers.

There is still an hour before the puja, but the flow of people to Hongfukuji Temple is already increasing. Du He was worried that the car would be able to get in and out, so he simply parked the carriage in the alley across the street from Hongfu Temple, which was only one street away, so he could exercise his body.

Du He came to the door of the carriage, explained his intentions, and he pulled the curtain. There were two women with outstanding demeanor in the car, one was a young woman I had seen pity, and the other was a young girl who was charming and youthful. Now the two have changed into a set of ordinary rich lady clothes. Although the clothes are difficult to hide the delicate faces of the two, they are not so eye-catching.

"Changle, be careful...... carriage was not high, but out of love for his wife, Du He still stretched out his hand to help.

Changle smiled coquettishly, took Ailang's hand, and got out of the carriage.

Seeing this situation, Gao Yang's eyes flashed with admiration, and he stopped moving.

"What's wrong?" Du He took Changle's hand, but saw that Gao Yang did not get out of the carriage, and his face was strange.

Gao Yang angrily stretched out his hand and said, "The carriage is too high to get down, help me." ”

Du He's eyelids rolled, who is he bluffing, his carriage is a common passenger carriage, a little shorter than the luxury carriage in the palace, and the luxury carriage Gao Yang can jump down, not to mention the ordinary carriage in front of him.

Changle smiled and gave Du He a look, asking him to settle and accommodate Gao Yang.

Gao Yang has a strange personality, fun and funny, and he knows how to be happy, and when he is interested, he doesn't care about it at all, just like a big boy, and he doesn't think much about it.

Du He shrugged his shoulders and helped Gao Yang get out of the carriage.

Gao Yang stood on the ground with his feet, made a grimace at Du He, pulled Changle's arm with both hands, and said with a grin: "It's better to be Sister Changle, I don't want some people to ...... Hmph...... "Squinted at Du He.

Du He shook his head and smiled bitterly, he had been mentally prepared as early as yesterday, Gao Yang, this girl, had too many ghost thoughts, and he really didn't expect her to make any moves.

"Let's go...... There is still some time before the puja, and we can think of taking a stroll around the temple. As far as I know, Hongfukuji Temple covers an extremely large area, and the scenery is even more beautiful than the mansions of ordinary princes. ”

Du He suddenly noticed someone approaching, and glanced behind him, a six-year-old child was walking towards them.

"Big brother, can you write?" The child's head was left with only a handful of combs on his forehead, and the rest of it was shaved naked, with a somewhat mischievous countenance, with innocent eyes.

Du He thought that the child was just passing by, but when he saw him asking, he didn't want to answer, so he squatted down with a smile and said, "Yes, little brother, big brother can write, what's the matter?" ”

The child danced exaggeratedly and said, "Great, big brother, if you teach me to write the soil characters of the turtle, I won't ......."

Du He smiled and wrote a soil character on the ground, and asked more curiously: "What do you do to learn soil characters?" ”

The child grinned, "Yesterday, a little guy from the countryside bullied me and put the word 'fool' on my back, causing me to be laughed at by Xiaocui. Today I want to take revenge, he came from the countryside, then I will write the word 'turtle' and stick it on his back, and let Xiaocui laugh at him. ”

Du He didn't quite understand the child's thoughts, but he said curiously: "The turtle character of the turtle, don't you need me to teach it?" ”

The child was a little ungrateful, glanced at Du He and said, "If you don't let the big brother teach, you will naturally be able to write." Without waiting for Du He to ask again, the little guy explained: "My father sells turtles, and there is a turtle word on the basket. Saying that, he wrote the word "soil" on the ground on Duhe, recorded it in his mind, said thank you, and ran away proudly.

The small episode did not delay Du Ho and their time.

Following the flow of people, Du He led the second daughter to the temple gate of Hongfu Temple.

The glittering "Hongfu Temple" is reflected on the plaque in front of the temple, and the words "Servant Shoot Xiao Yu" are written at the inscription.

Changle said in a low voice: "'Hongfu Temple' is such a big pomp, and I actually invited the autograph inscription of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Xiao Yu is the uncle of Yang Guang in the previous dynasty, and his sister is the famous Empress Xiao. Xiao Yu is an upright person, deeply favored by Li Yuan, and regards him as a confidant, every time he listens to politics in the court, he gives Xiao Yu to stand beside him and affectionately call him "Xiao Lang".

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he promoted Xiao Yu to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and Shangshu shot left. It's just that Xiao Yu is Li Yuan's henchman after all, but Li Shimin's henchmen are Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui of the original Qin Palace. Every time there is a big event, Fang and Du are the first. Xiao Yu was deeply unhappy and had a conflict with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Xiao Yu and Fang and Du, Li Shimin naturally stood on the side of Fang and Du, Xiao Yu was ostracized and left the center of power, and Shangshu's left servant shot also fell on Fang Xuanling's head.

This plaque was obviously written when Xiao Yu was not excluded, and at that time, Xiao Yu, as the head of the hundred officials, could invite him to inscribe the plaque.

Hongfukuji Temple does have a lot of face.

Walking into the temple, the strong smell of incense and candles rushed into the nose.

There is a huge bronze tripod in the center of the square in the front yard of the temple, the tripod is full of incense, dense, and more than 50 believers kneel and worship in front of the tripod. The square is surrounded by shops that buy and sell incense, and as far as the eye can see, there are only a dozen of them.

Outside each shop was crowded with customers, and the business of buying and selling incense and candles was unusually prosperous.

Du He smiled: "This business has been done in the temple." ”

Gao Yang seemed to have come to the temple for the first time, and he was very curious, looking left and right, learning from those believers to bow to the bronze tripod, but seeing that they had incense in their hands and yellow rune paper, they also muttered that they wanted to buy some to play.

Du He saw that Gao Yang was happy, and he didn't disappoint her interest, lest this great god have more problems. He glanced behind him, telling the guards in the shadows to keep an eye on him.

Changle said: "Du Lang, buy more." ”

Du He looked at his beloved wife with a dumb smile and said, "You also believe this?" ”

Changle shook his head and said softly: "When I get here, it doesn't matter whether I believe in Buddhism or not, begging for peace for my father, mother, father-in-law, and mother-in-law is exactly what I should do as a child." ”

"I'll buy it!" Du He glanced at Changle deeply, and sighed in his heart, if he has a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for.

Indeed, when you come to the temple, whether you believe in Buddhism or not is not the key, the key is a sincere heart to pray for your parents and family.

"I'll go too!" Gao Yang caught up with Du He with a smile.

I came to an incense and candle shop at random.

In the crowded crowd, Du He was afraid that Gao Yang would be separated, so he pulled her to the front.

"Objective, what do you want?" The owner of the shop, a woman in her forties, was making casual inquiries while sorting out the goods.

Du He glanced at the goods on the stall, and there were a variety of Buddha statues, ritual utensils, incense burners, lamp oil candles, paper products, incense, etc.

"How do you sell this lamp, oil, candle, paper, and incense?" Du He does not believe in Buddhism, Buddha statues, ritual utensils, incense burners have nothing to do with him, lamp oil candles, paper products, incense and other Buddha worship utensils to buy meaning.

The woman's expression was not very concerned, and when she heard that Du He was buying all the bargains, she showed a little impatience, and said casually: "Ten yuan a lamp oil candle, four dollars a paper one, and two dollars a incense one." ”

Du He was taken aback, he knew the price of goods in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was a Ming monarch, he rarely increased the burden on the people, the price was very cheap, and the rice was only four or five yuan. In this Hongfu Temple, a lamp oil candle costs ten yuan, the yellow paper for worship costs four yuan, the common incense is two dollars a piece, and there are only three incense sticks.

"Grab the money!"

Du He said in a stammered voice.

Looking at the expressions of the buyers around me, it seems that they are not concerned about this price at all.

There was a trace of disdain in the woman's eyes, and she said angrily: "How do you talk, you can buy it if you want, and if you don't have money, you can come to worship any Buddha, get out of the way." ”

Du He smiled angrily, daring to love the Buddha and recognizing money, disliking the poor.

Gao Yangfeng's eyes widened, and he was also happy, he grew so big, it was the first time he had seen a character who was even more arrogant than himself, holding a Buddha statue in one hand, throwing a watermelon, throwing it on the woman's head, and scolding in his mouth: "Old woman, let you know how powerful your aunt and grandmother are!" ”
