Chapter 207: Fazang (2/5) Asking for a Monthly Pass!!
Mu Mingyu didn't dare to make a mistake, and sat cross-legged outside the Tower of Babel.
The Sanskrit sound lasted for about an hour, and it didn't stop until it was already over.
A moment later, a group of monks stepped out of the Tower of Babel. The head was a monk over eighty years old with white hair.
As soon as he walked out, all the monks stood up and saluted.
Mu Mingyu also hurriedly bowed down, because he recognized that the ancient old monk was Ah You Zhenna.
"Mage, the night ban has begun outside, and I am afraid it is inconvenient to walk.
The princess has ordered the mage to stay in the temple tonight, and has already arranged a place to live. The princess asked the slave to pass the word, and if the mage asked, she would do her best to help. ”
"In this way, the old monk will thank the princess."
A knowledgeable monk stepped forward and led Ah Youzhen and his party away.
This old monk's aura is really powerful enough!
Mu Mingyu thought that his ability to resist pressure was outstanding, but in front of the old monk, he still felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the pressure was great.
After you Zhenna left, he let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, an attendant came up to him and said with a smile: "Mingyue is here!" ”
"Mingyue has seen Aya."
The waiter in front of him, with white teeth and red lips, and a handsome appearance.
Looking at the color and appearance, people who don't know may think that he is only in his twenties. But Murong Mingyue knew that the waiter in front of him, who didn't seem to be very old, was actually close to his fifties, and he was also a confidant of Princess Taiping.
This person's name is Husky, and it is said that he entered the palace since he was a child and grew up with Princess Taiping.
Later, when Princess Taiping married Xue Shao, Tang Gaozong asked her what she wanted to dowry? Princess Taiping was the first to offer to let the huskies follow. Ayer. It is Murong Mingyue's honorific title for huskies. It's similar to the later 'father-in-law'. How much power does this husky have in the princess's mansion? Mu Mingyu is honest, and he is not very clear.
But. He'd heard a story.
About a few years ago, one of the guests, believing that he was appreciated by the princess, pointed at the husky and yelled at a party. When the matter reached the princess's ears, the guest was beaten to death in front of the hall the next day.
The status of huskies in the princess's mansion can also be seen.
Seeing Mu Mingyu's appearance, the husky smiled.
He stretched out a delicate palm, which was white and tender. Like a baby's skin, it has a warm jade color in the firelight. The husky patted Mu Mingyu on the shoulder and said softly, "The princess is resting in the tower tonight, you can go in." ”
"Yes."
"Mingyu."
"Yes."
"If there's anything, just say it...... The princess has been working very hard to visit the Buddha today, so don't delay her rest. ”
Mu Mingyu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "The kid understands." ”
The husky led him into the Tower of Babel. There is a cave in this Babel Tower, and the first floor of the tower covers an area of nearly 1,000 square meters. There are 500 Arhat reliefs on the surrounding walls, and a Buddha statue is enshrined in the center. Mu Mingyu followed the husky up the stairs. Come to the second floor of the Tower of Babel. The area of the second floor is more than half smaller than the first floor.
Here, located in the middle of the Babel Tower, through the window, you can overlook the Luo River.
In the Buddha hall, a man and a woman sit in front of the Buddha.
The male, about fifty years old, was born delicate and thin, and seemed to be a little weak.
This is a monk, that is, the abbot of this Dafuxian Temple, Dharma Zang.
The Fazang monk is not from the Central Plains, but from Benkang. Because his grandfather lived in Chang'an, he took Kang as his surname.
This person is seventeen years old, such as the ball valve of Taibai Mountain, and the master of Yunhua Temple has received the Huayan Sutra.
In the first year of Gaozong Xianheng, Rongguo's wife Yang died, so Taiyuan Temple was built. When the Fazang has a small reputation, so it was recommended by Daocheng, Bo Fa and other eminent monks in the capital, and was ordained by the Fazang to the novice and explained the Huayan Sutra in Taiyuan Temple.
Later, Wu Zetian saw that he was brilliant in Buddhism, so he ordered the Ten Virtues of Chang'an to receive full ordination for him, and gave him the name of 'Virtuous Head National Teacher'. In order to allow Wu Zetian to enter the Huayan realm, Fazang used the golden lion in front of the hall as a metaphor to explain Buddhism.
This transcript circulated and became known as the Golden Lion Chapter.
After that, Fazang came to today's Dafuxian Temple with Taiyuan Temple and became the host of Dafuxian Temple.
He is now a famous Buddhist figure in Luoyang. It is said that at this year's Yulan Festival, he will speak on behalf of Wu Zetian.
The woman sitting opposite the Fazang Master looked like she was in her twenties, and her charming appearance revealed a terrifying coercion. That kind of wonderful temperament that blends charm and majesty, if it is placed in later generations, will have a very loud name, that is, 'queen's temperament'.
She sat cross-legged on the futon and listened carefully to the Fazang's explanation of the contents of the Great Treasure Sutra.
When Mu Mingyu walked up, Fazang suddenly stopped explaining.
"The hour is getting late, so that's all for today.
The princess had a visitor, so the poor monk did not bother and retired first. ”
The woman stretched, revealing a hint of languidness.
She nodded and said softly: "Today, this palace agreed to your request, and it was also a last resort. After all, he has been preaching the Dharma in Luoyang for many years, and this time the Ten Virtues of Chang'an came forward to ask for his life, and the palace really had no way to refuse. ”
Fazang said: "The princess is distressed, and the poor monk understands.
However, if you really want to build a dojo in Luoyang City, it will inevitably affect the propagation of the Dharma in our sect. Therefore, he can build a dojo, but he must not be in the city. As long as the princess can agree to the poor monk's condition, the poor monk naturally has no objection. ”
"Well, don't worry, mage, of course this palace knows the severity.
The palace is ready to let Ah You Zhenna build a dojo in Longmen Mountain, I believe that in this way, it will not affect the mage's teachings. ”
"That's very good."
With that, Fazang stood up.
He was originally sitting cross-legged, but he didn't see any other movements, and just stood up.
Only then did Mu Mingyu notice that Fazang's eyes had been closed all along. However, he seemed to be able to see clearly, floated around Mu Mingyu, and then folded his hands in front of the husky and left down the steep staircase.
"The mage is now cultivating the Heavenly Eye, although he can't open his eyes, he can see all the things in the world."
Seeing Mu Mingyu's puzzled look, the woman explained with a smile.
She stretched again, walked to the window, turned her back to Mu Mingyu and said softly: "Mingyu, you said that there is something important to report, what is the matter?" ”
The Buddha hall was brightly lit, reflecting her thin back.
Mu Mingyu couldn't see her expression, but from that graceful back, he tasted a seductive charm.
"Ahem!"
Seeing that Mu Mingyu didn't speak, the husky coughed.
This woman is none other than Princess Taiping. Mu Mingyu immediately came to his senses, realizing that he had a little gaffe just now, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Princess, Mingyu was in the Imperial Grandson's Mansion today, and I heard an interesting news by chance.
