Chapter 347: See the scriptures
In the blink of an eye, it was Laba.
This year's Laba is quite different. In addition to the porridge, the major temples also sacrificed the treasures of each temple for good men and women to pay respects. In order to avoid the surging flow of people, Bai Tang left the warm bed early, and entangled with Xu San for this reason.
Xu San, who was reluctant to leave the warm fragrant nephrite, was secretly scolded by Bai Tang a few times for "Teddy", and finally got out.
Xu San looked at the sky and said in a little fright: "So early? ”
Bai Tang smiled: "You can sleep again." I'll take one look and come back. ”
Xu San has consumed too much energy in the past few nights, so he hugged the pillow and said, "Then I'll wait for you to come back and drink laba porridge!" ”
Bai Tang smiled and left.
At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and the shops had just opened. But there is already a festive atmosphere, and the big iron pot of porridge is emitting white smoke, and the aroma lingers all the way.
Qingyuan Temple, Ban Zhizheng led the crowd to do the morning class, and heard the report that Bai Tang had arrived outside the door, and the hand of twisting the beads was slightly stunned. The expression on his face was indescribably complicated for a while.
"Invite him in."
Bai Tang prepared a box of his own vegetarian snacks and gave them with a smile: "The master doesn't think I'm coming early, right?" ”
Ban Zhi thanked with a smile: "I have heard that the dim sum of Gongzi's house has an outstanding taste, and I can take it all in one breath today." ”
"If the master likes it, you can go upstairs and try it in the future." Bai Tang unceremoniously advertised his own teahouse. "Nanjing's upstairs is famous, and now it has come to Beijing, and it has added a lot of novel and delicious vegetarian food."
Ban Zhi is a high-ranking monk who has attained the Tao, and he does not pay attention to his appetite, and he just laughs when he listens to it. He knew that Bai Tang was in a hurry, so he didn't talk nonsense, and took him straight to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Several monks are clearing the shrine dedicated to the golden statue of the Buddha, removing vases, candlesticks, incense burners, and food, and making room for the Myoho-renge-kyo to be placed.
In addition, monks erected a number of half-human-high wooden fences in front of the shrine to firmly enclose the shrine to prevent pilgrims from tampering with the scriptures.
Bai Tang couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: people's things haven't been placed well!
"It's me early!"
Ban Zhi looked at him deeply, and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
"Master, do you think it's okay to put it up like this?"
Ban Zhi smiled at Bai Tang and said, "The donor came early has the advantage of coming early. Let's take a closer look! ”
Bai Tang was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward. The moment the dark blue scroll swept into view, his breathing stopped, and his whole person was like falling into an ice cave: how is this possible?! How could it be that the scriptures that should still be sleeping in Dunhuang appeared in Beijing six hundred years in advance?!
His uncertainty and panic were seen in Ban Zhi's eyes.
Panzhi lowered his eyelids and whispered to the Buddha.
Suddenly, Bai Tang exclaimed: "Tubo Wen? How is it Tibetan?! ”
He looked back and saw Ban Zhi's slightly dazed eyes, and listened to him ask rhetorically: "Tubo Wen, is there any problem?" ”
No problem, there are problems!
All the speculation and worries of Bai Tang recently have been thrown into Java! I want to look up to the sky and laugh: it's not the "Lotus Sutra of the Mystic Law" in my previous life! I'm really worrying about myself and thinking too much!
He laughed and explained: "I heard that it was written by Princess Wencheng herself, and it was only considered to be the Central Plains script, and I didn't want it to be Tubo." Therefore, I feel that it is unexpected, please forgive me. ”
Ban Zhi gently picked up a scroll of scripture pages, and said with emotion: "The donor is right. In fact, Princess Wencheng also used the Central Plains script to write this sutra on magnetic blue paper, a total of seven volumes. It's just that the princess of these seven volumes of scriptures gave back to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, what was left in the Tibetan palace at that time was this volume of the "Myoho-renge-kyo" in the Tibetan language. ”
Bai Tang couldn't help nodding: "I see!" ”
"But I don't know where the seven books are now?" Ban Zhi's eyes were full of expectations, "If you can find this scripture, the two versions of the scripture will be one......"
The corners of Bai Tang's mouth twitched slightly: That's impossible! Suddenly, my heart moved: I know where the scriptures are! If you open the scripture caves in the Dunhuang Grottoes in advance, can you prevent them from falling into the hands of thieves in the future?
But he immediately rejected his idea: China still has to go through too many wars, and he can save it for a while, but he can't save it for a lifetime. Sometimes, he would rather travel to the end of the Qing Dynasty by himself, and when he discovers the cave of the scriptures, he seals it in time and strictly guards its secrets, just waiting for the prosperous era to open!
So he swallowed the words in his throat and said, "Those who are destined to meet each other are satisfied." ”
Ban Zhi smiled: "The donor has Huigen. ”
Bai Tang smiled dryly, Qin Ling also said so about himself. He admired the scriptures and exclaimed: "The color of the magnetic blue paper is quiet and calm, with the scriptures and pictures of the mud gold, which is both brilliant and solemn!" It is worthy of the saying that "the most pious scripture paper"! ”
Ban Zhi knew that he was studying the process of magnetic green paper, and said generously: "Can the donor get his hands on the scriptures?" ”
Bai Tang hurriedly thanked him, and when he was studying the paper, a hearty laugh sounded in his ears: "I thought I came early, but I didn't expect you to come earlier, Bai Tang!" ”
It was Gao Huaide and his son who came to the temple to appreciate the scriptures!
Bai Tang was about to put down the scriptures and salute, but Gao Huaide hurriedly shouted: "Don't move, don't move!" Let me take a good look! Ah, this is a magnetic green paper made in Tibet! ”
Gao Cen saw that his father was so excited, and he didn't even pay attention to the master Panzhi on the side, and apologized to Panzhi again and again: "My father has been looking forward to seeing this thing for a long time, please don't mind if you have a gaffe!" ”
Ban Zhi smiled: "The donor is polite. ”
Seeing that Gao Huaide and Bai Tang both came to see and hear about it, and began to talk about the craftsmanship in a low voice, Ban Zhi couldn't help but interrupt them: "A few of you came so early, why don't you use some vegetarian food first?" ”
Bai Tang then remembered that Xu San was still waiting at home for him to go back to drink porridge! The matter of this magnetic green paper is not in a hurry, and he has to say goodbye and go home.
At this time, a little monk entered the hall and said to Ban Zhi: "Master, the Marquis of Baoding is here." ”
Everyone is in one place: Baoding waiting for Meng Ying? I haven't heard of him praying to the Buddha, what are you doing so early?
Bai Tang and Xu San became married, and they knew a lot about his family. If I remember correctly, the eldest daughter of Xu Qin, the Duke of Wei, is the son of Meng Ying. Alas, the relationship between the royal relatives and nobles in the capital is complicated, and if you pull someone out to check the three clans, you will definitely be able to get involved!
Ban Zhi explained: "Marquis Meng injured his foot during the war in his early years, and suddenly came to the door a few days ago to ask me to treat him. ”
Bai Tangfeng's eyes flashed slightly: "Meng Houye's old injury, the master can also heal it?" ”
Ban Zhi Zhengse said: "He recovered from his injuries early, but he often had muscle and bone pain. I taught him to unblock his muscles and relieve his pain. After saying goodbye, he apologized, "Everyone, please take your leave." ”
Unblock the muscles and veins, relieve pain?
Bai Tang's heart is like a sinking stone. It was Meng Houye who came to the door by himself to ask Ban Zhi for diagnosis and treatment. Remembering what the grandson said in the East Palace before, I think it was the grandson who threw stones to ask for directions?
I don't know why, Bai Tang put down his heart and pulled it up again!
