Chapter 521: Landa Temple
The Tuhun people are located in the north, and they are in the plateau area, and the faces of ordinary people are easy to crack and flush.
After the sky was bright, Wang Li also found some pigments and made a simple appearance for the two of them, making everyone's faces more weathered.
As long as they don't swagger around, it's hard to see what's wrong.
The hostess, Harknizi, began to make breakfast.
There are some differences between the porridge boiled by the other party and the brown rice porridge of Datang, the grains used are very large, and some are hard and chewy.
This is the grain of the plateau.
While Li Hongru was eating, he also kept talking to Ala'i and Haknizi.
Wang Li did not know how to speak and could only rely on violence and money to do things, but he opened his tongue and learned much easier.
From the initial stumbling, to sluggishness, to fluent communication.
Nearly half an hour later, Li Hongru had a rather localized Tuhun language.
This made Wang Li, who was serving on the side, widen his eyes, and he didn't know what kind of technique Li Hongru used, and he learned ordinary communication language in a short time.
Listening to the three people's answers, she only felt like listening to a book from heaven.
"When we welcome the New Year, we all go to Landa Temple to pray for a safe and secure year!"
After breakfast, Ala'i also made a small request of his own, wanting to go to the local temple to pay respects.
Customs and habits are difficult to change.
Wang Li is fierce and difficult to communicate, but Li Hongru seems to be very talkative.
"We too" Li Hongru nodded and said, "It's a pity that it is difficult for us to embark on the journey home, I don't know if Landa Temple welcomes us outsiders to worship!" ”
"The temple only welcomes us locally...... When I arrived, I paid some more Buddhist rites and told the master of the temple that you are a relative who has come to us from afar to celebrate the New Year. ”
When Ala'i refused, Harkniz ripped her clothes again.
This made Ala'i look back and see Wang Li spinning the small flying knife in his hand.
The two children gathered around Wang Li, looking at Wang Li's constantly flipping flying knife, and they couldn't take their eyes off it for a while.
Just thinking about Wang Li's violent demonstration last night, Alaj changed his tone stiffly.
"Money is not a problem" Li Hongru smiled: "I have money!" ”
The mantra of the monk Jiufu was casually taken by him, and Li Hongru took out a piece of broken silver in his pocket and threw it to Alayi.
This made Ala's face look a little better.
"The worship of Naroda Temple is to receive Buddha rites according to the head, and the most Buddha rites are prescribed, and the more Buddha rites, the more protection they will receive."
Arai opened his mouth, which made Li Hongru purse his lips slightly, only to feel that these acts of collecting money were inevitable in any Buddhist temple.
"The monasteries also allow us to view the Mahayana and Hinayana scriptures, the Vedas, the causes, the statements, the prescriptions, the number of techniques, the martial scriptures, and ...... according to the Buddha's rituals."
After Arai added some words, Li Hongru had some realization.
Charging has the benefit of charging a fee.
Although the Langda Temple charges, there is no class? The threshold is extremely low, so that ordinary people can also access all kinds of knowledge.
But whether you can learn it or not depends on your own luck.
Want to practice more than just reading books? You also need to ask for a teacher.
This would have left most of the population firmly tied to the temple.
While popularizing basic education knowledge at Landa Temple? and a steady stream of wealth.
Wait to find enough good disciples? It will be introduced to do the focus of cultivation in the temple.
Enough wealth can make the temple make excellent training for its disciples.
In addition to becoming monks in temples, many cultivators are also able to engage in all walks of life.
Among them, there are many high-level professions such as doctors, military attachés, astrologers, and civil servants.
Although is it a temple? However, Landa Temple took on part of the functions of the academy.
Is this somewhat similar to the Confucian-dominated academies? Many people are constantly making money just to send their children to better colleges.
It's just that the scope of the Namada Temple is wider, and it also has the inducement of religion? Get every household involved every year.
In addition to allowing yourself to learn some seasonal skills? Is Ala'i more focused on his two children? I want to see if the two children have Huigen.
"The more Buddha rituals? The longer you can pray at Landa Temple! ”
Li Hongru finally summed it up? This made Ala'i nod his head.
That's it for the basic rules.
Boldly adding three people into this small family? The worship time of Ala'i and others will be cut in half.
This made Li Hongru nod, mentioning that everyone was injured and would not stay for a long time.
"I'll keep an eye on them."
Wang Li put the flying knife into his cuff and responded in a low voice.
At this time, there has been a loud crowd outside, and many people have stepped out of the door? Begin to march in groups.
Did Ala'i and Haknizi fix their hair and clothes? Prepare to take the crowd out.
"Tighten the hat strap and you won't get the cold anymore!"
Li Hongru and Li Dan are strong and strong? But Wang Li is also a little worried that the old illness has not gone? The new illness came again, and it was also to tie up the clothes of the two.
"We don't understand, we can't tell? Try to say as little as possible," Li Dan coughed slightly.
The place where Li Hongru investigated collapsed, and even if it was dull, Li Dan knew that something big was wrong.
Be cautious and say little, hide safely for a period of time, and recuperate well, this is the most important task for everyone at present, and every step needs to avoid mistakes before it is possible to return to Datang safely.
Out of the gate of Ala'i's house, everyone was inconspicuous in the crowd, and kept marching towards the Randa Temple.
Temples have a religious function as well as an educational function.
In this small city, the temple is the most conspicuous complex in the city.
The temple resembles a square city with long corridors around it.
There are nine treasure halls in the temple of Landa, the treasure hall is three stories high, three to four zhang high, built with bricks, each floor is more than one zhang high, and there are 9 monk's rooms on each side of each treasure hall.
This is the number of ninety-nine, and the size is corresponding.
There are a total of nine treasure halls and eighty-one monks' rooms.
The treasure hall worships the Buddha and imparts knowledge, and the monk's room is the accommodation of the disciples who officially enter the temple.
There is no age limit for the number of disciples recruited by the temple every year, which also attracts many people to pay as much as possible when offering Buddhist gifts, thinking that they can get a sign that can enter the temple for formal practice.
Compared with the city wall at the city gate, which is more than one zhang high, the wall of the Naroda Temple is three or four zhang high, and the Buddha statues of human size are arranged on it, and the carvings are fine and beautiful.
Li Hongru looked at the ground, compared with the dirt street in the city, the ground of the temple was as bright as a mirror, and the ground was covered with special materials, and then polished and polished.
Li Hongru had only seen such a scene in the official residence area and the imperial palace in Chang'an.
In this small city, the Landa Temple has achieved such a point, and you can also know the situation of temples in other parts of the Tuhun country.
When Li Hongru entered the temple, he saw a beacon fire ignited at the city gate in the distance, and then countless white smoke drifted into the sky.
This caused a commotion in the crowd.
It was only after several middle-aged monks came forward to appease them that many people calmed down.
"It's the message that the royal court has captured the criminals, you just need to enter the temple in order to worship, and you don't need to worry about this outside thing!"
A monk spoke to the crowd.
This caused the people in front of them to take out the money sealed in the small paper bag and put it in the merit box in front of the monk.
Li Hongru looked at his small paper bag.
He wrapped a tael of silver in the small paper bag, and inscribed the name 'Alazhen' on the paper bag.
Li Dan is called Alxa, and Wang Li is called Hani Ami.
A group of seven people, big or small, holding paper bags, staring ahead.
"It's happened," Li Dan said in his ear.
"It's fine!"
Li Hongru looked at the monk in front of him.
In the Tuhun country, the Shijia family is the state religion, and the corresponding privileges are also very great.
At least the monks of Landa Temple did not pay much attention to the Beacon Transmission.
The monks received the Buddha rituals, and they made registrations, guiding the worshippers to enter the temple, and it was difficult to take care of other things.
"What do you want to learn?"
After Li Hongru finished contributing to the Buddhist ceremony, the monk asked Li Hongru.
"I want to see the almanac!"
Li Hongru replied, and the monk looked at the silver in the paper bag, and then registered.
In front of the group, Ala'i looked back at his young child.
Whatever Ara'i wanted to see, the crowd followed.
Li Hongru was not interested in the calendar of the Tuhun Kingdom, but he could not read the Tuhun Chinese script, and he also ran with Arai at random at this time.
Harkeniz chose to study spices, and with the older children, he also let Wang Li follow.
"Let's go this way!"
Ala'i opened his mouth and pointed.
When everyone walked to the sixth temple, they only heard the neighing of demon horses outside the temple.
"Wait for the quick avoidance, His Royal Highness King Ning will come down to the Landa Temple to pray for blessings!"
The loud shouts opened the way, causing many people waiting in line to suddenly dodge away.
"Your Highness has come from afar......"
"No need to be polite, I will hunt for the evil all night, and it is difficult to rush back to the capital at this time, so I can only pray for blessings through the Landa Temple."
When Li Hongru looked back, he saw a thin Tuhun man who looked like he was in his fifties and dressed in wealth and dignity and entered the temple.
Thinking of Murong Shiyun, the monarch of the Tuhun Kingdom, he is older, and some of his sons are indeed not young.
This highness is the oldest person Li Hongru has ever seen, with less youthful temperament and more twilight of middle-aged and elderly people.
However, this King Ning didn't have any srest, he just let the guards do the left and right support, and hurriedly prepared to enter the palace.
Maybe he wanted to look at the calendar and ask for a good day, and the other party walked into the sixth throne.
In the treasure hall, many big Buddhas sit, the Buddha statue of the Great Brahma Lord is located in the front, and then there are many Buddhas such as the Buddha statue of Vinayaga, and there are hundreds of large and small in total.
King Ning folded his hands and knelt down in front of the Buddha statue for a long time to pray.
After a few minutes, King Ning got up.
He took one of the two volumes of the main hall and slowly began to turn the pages.
"How can there be books in Tang script here?"
When Alaj took a book and read it in a low voice, Li Hongru also took a copy casually.
What surprised Li Hongru a little was that many of the characters in this book were not much different from the Tang Dynasty characters, but some of the characters were old in shape and slightly different from contemporary times.
"This is not Tang script, it is Chinese characters, we have believed in Confucian culture before, and some old books are written in Chinese characters, but most of them are difficult to identify now."
Just as the Liang State became a Buddhist country, the Great Sui Shi family flourished, the Tang Dynasty ruled by Confucianism, and many dynasties were replaced.
It is no exception in the country of Tuhun.
This made Li Hongru have some interest.
He flipped through it and found something to watch.
The Qin Emperor unified a large kingdom, but it was only during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Confucian culture was propagated to all countries.
In Confucian culture, the Han Dynasty is an era that cannot be bypassed.
To this day, the characters are still called Chinese characters, also called Han people, and coexist with Tang Wen and Tang people.
Li Hongru looked at the classics and saw that these classics were well preserved, and some books he had never seen before.
Dynasties changed frequently, wars were numerous, and some inheritances and books were inevitably destroyed.
The volume of "The Great Emperor's Calendar" in Li Hongru's hand has never been mentioned in Guozixue.
"I heard that the Landa Temple treasures a volume of the "Floating Tu Dao Method", go and get that volume of the martial arts!"
When Li Hongru looked through it, he saw King Ning put down the calendar book in his hand and said a word to the monks who followed on the side.
"Your Highness, that sword technique is a forbidden book, and it is harmful to practice it to harm the heavens," the monk said with a sad face.
"It's not just a book of swordsmanship that is good at sneak attacks, what hurts the heavens and the peace, you don't want to be noisy, just get it for this king quickly!"
King Ning spit out, and there was displeasure on his face.
When he came to Landa Temple this time, it was obvious that the drunkard did not mean to drink, and he brought some other ideas.
