There is another scene in Beibi Mountain during the day, and Shi Xin walked on the way down the mountain, and did not forget to look at the scenery.

Zhang Ning kept his head down, and his mood was a little low. She is a sensual person. Although Zhou Cang has a straightforward personality and is easy to offend people, he has been like a big brother all the way, and he cares about them. Although she didn't mind Zhou Cang leaving with Guan Yu, there were four people when she came, and one less person when she left, which made her a little unaccustomed to it.

The three of them came down the mountain and rushed to the west of Luoyang City.

According to Zhou Cang's previous introduction, the structure of Luoyang City is as follows:

To the north of the city is the Imperial Palace. The palace is divided into the south palace and the north palace, and the south palace is the place where the emperor discusses matters and meets the ministers. The North Palace was the residence of the emperor and his concubines. The south palace and the north palace are connected by three roads, and the middle road is wider, which is exclusively provided by the emperor.

In ancient times, the north was respected, and the general buildings, the palace sat north to south. To the west of Luoyang stand some huge buildings with various symbols. This is the concentration of religion, and the three largest rooms in front, from north to south, are the Luoyang branch of the Tianshi Sect, the Holy Sect, and the White Horse Temple of Buddhism. After these three schools, there are other religions. In addition to religion, it is also the office set up in Luoyang by many large families and big officials abroad.

The east of Luoyang City is the residence of the officials of the current dynasty, the most luxurious, the closest to the palace, and the mansion with a large vacant space left and right is the Taishi Mansion of Dong Zhuo, the Taishi of the Imperial Palace. The Taishi Mansion was followed by the mansion of the Three Princes.

Luoyang Center, where there is a big field. In peacetime, it is used to review the army and hold large-scale celebrations and activities.

In the south of Luoyang City, there are many shops and dwellings. This is also the most lively and prosperous place in Luoyang City. People come and go during the day and the lights are bright at night.

The three of them stood in the west of Luoyang City, looking at the huge, thick city walls of Luoyang City, and sighed that compared with the magnificent national capital, Julu was simply not worth it.

Walking into the west of Luoyang City, it is quiet and solemn, and it is almost impossible to see how many idlers come and go.

Zhang Ning whispered: "Brother Zhou once said that this is the concentration of major religions, we have to speak quietly and pass quickly." ”

After passing through a few streets, the terrain suddenly opened up. The first thing that catches your eye is a huge temple, with gold bricks and red tiles, and an endless stream of tourists and believers. There is a galloping white horse standing at the entrance of the temple, which is the White Horse Temple, the ancestral court of Chinese Buddhism.

Shi Xin looked into the White Horse Temple, only to see that the temple was solemn, and the believers inside were full of awe, even if they wanted to speak, they were close to their ears, which was like the people of later generations, holding incense in their hands, but making loud noises in their mouths.

"Wait a minute to visit the White Horse Temple and see how it is different from the afterlife. "Shi Xin also went to the White Horse Temple in his previous life, but there are almost two thousand years apart, and there must be many differences.

After the White Horse Temple, it is the Holy Religion. Surprisingly, the gate of the Holy Sect was closed, leaving only two Confucian students in Confucian clothes to guard the door, blocking all the idle people.

Seeing Shi Xin looking around, and seeing Zhang Ning wearing a yellow scarf, the Confucian explained: Tomorrow is the day to register for the Holy Sect Selection Competition, and the sect has made all preparations, so we refuse to see guests today.

After the Holy Sect, it is the Luoyang Branch of the Heavenly Master Sect. The disciple guarding the door had already received the news of Zhang Ning's imminent arrival, although the disciple had not yet met Zhang Ning, but which person who could do this position was not a smart and clever person, and he could guess it after a little thought.

A guard introduced the three of them into the branch, and the other guard quickly informed Ma Yuanyi, the manager of the branch.

Ma Yuanyi is the highest-ranking figure in the Luoyang Branch, and his cultivation is fifth-rank. As the future heir of the Heavenly Master Sect, Zhang Ning arrived, and no matter how busy he was, he had to greet it.

"Ning'er, I finally looked forward to you, everything is safe on the road, right?" Ma Yuanyi is a tall man with a slightly yellow face. He has watched Zhang Ning grow up since he was a child, just like his own parents, so the name is not as raw as "Second Miss", but "Ning'er".

"Hello Uncle Ma, everything is fine on my way, mainly because I am taken care of by my brothers. ”

"Huh, what about Zhou Cang, why didn't the elm head come in with him?" Ma Yuanyi looked left and right.

Zhang Ning said gloomily: "After Brother Zhou sent us to Luoyang safely, he followed the person he admired the most. I've agreed. ”

Ma Yuanyi couldn't imagine that Zhou Cang would go elsewhere halfway, and was about to scold him for being ungrateful, but he also thought that Zhou Cang's character was indeed not suitable for the Heavenly Master Sect, and since Zhang Ning agreed, there was no need for him to dwell on this matter. He muttered a few words, but he didn't take it to heart.

"You're Shi Xin and Zhou Tai?" Ma Yuanyi frowned. I thought: These two boys don't know what to do, and they have always refused to join my teaching. The Sect Master has already instructed that it should be left alone, and that it would be good to provide only a place to eat and live. Hmph! What do you do as I tell you to do those useless things, just bomb them and get away.

Ma Yuanyi thought about it, with a look of disdain and contempt on his face.

Although Zhang Ning is timid, he is exquisite-minded and good at observing words and feelings. She coughed lightly, "Uncle Ma, Brother Shi and Brother Zhou are my good friends, during this time in the branch, you must treat them politely, don't slack off." ”

"Oh, that's right!" Zhang Ning added, "I decided to team up with them to participate in the tryouts, and you can tell my father on your behalf." ”

"Huh, isn't it Chen Bing?" asked Ma Yuanyi in surprise.

"Miss Chen has something to do temporarily, so she can't come. So we all train together in teams for the rest of the time, and Uncle Rauma bothered to do it. You also know the importance of the selection competition, we will participate in the name of the Heavenly Master Sect tomorrow, if there is any problem with Brother Shi and Brother Zhou in the future, resulting in poor results in the competition, it will not only affect the reputation of the Heavenly Master Sect, but also affect my reputation, I am afraid it will not be beneficial for me to take charge of the Heavenly Master Sect in the future. ”

"This ...... Okay!" Ma Yuanyi couldn't imagine that Zhang Ning, who was still timid and afraid a year ago, would speak with a head and a head, and he couldn't help but look at her when he was surprised, and at the same time put away his contempt for Shi Xin and Zhou Tai.

The Luoyang branch of the Heavenly Master Sect occupies a huge area, and Shi Xin and the other three had lunch and were arranged in an independent small garden. The garden is symmetrically arranged on the left and right, with Shi Xin Zhoutai living in the second room on the left and Zhang Ning living in the second room on the right, leaving one room vacant. There is a large open space in the middle of the garden, and weapons are placed next to it, which can be used as a training ground. The rest of the garden is full of plants and flowers, as well as small pavilions and streams with goldfish.

Shi Xin and Zhou Tai put away their baggage, rested for a while, washed their faces, and became energetic again. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Shi Xin asked Zhou Tai and Zhang Ning to go to the White Horse Temple not far away.

Zhou Tai was also very interested in this ancient temple and applauded. When the two went to find Zhang Ning, she looked sad and said that she had no interest in Buddhist temples.

Shi Xin thought about it, she was the heir of the Heavenly Master Sect and belonged to Taoism, so if she was dragged to Buddhism, it would indeed be a bit nondescript.

Shi Xin heard Chen Bing talk about the origin of Buddhism.

In the seventh year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty stayed in the South Palace at night, dreaming of a golden man with a height of six zhang and a light on his head from the west, flying around the palace. The next day, Liu Zhuang told the ministers about this dream, and the doctor Fu Yi said that "there is a god in the West, called Buddha, just like you dreamed."

Liu Zhuang sent people to the West to learn scriptures and worship the Buddha, and as a result, the envoy met two Indian monks in the country of Dayue, and at the same time saw a number of Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues. The envoy invited two eminent monks to Middle-earth to preach the Dharma.

The two monks carried Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues on white horses and arrived in Luoyang. Liu Zhuang was very happy and set aside a piece of land on the edge of the palace to build a temple, named after the White Horse, which was the White Horse Temple.

This history is similar to the previous life, the only difference is that many of the monks of the White Horse Temple are pulse masters, and most of the internal and external skills they practice come from Buddhist scriptures.

Shi Xin was nominally a Taoist disciple, but deep down he was an atheist. Actually, this is a very contradictory thing. This world is the world of the pulse master, which inherently violates many of the laws of the previous life. And the "divine sense" is real, and it is not Shi Xin's turn not to believe it. But he just doesn't believe it, he prefers to link things like pulse master and "divine sense" to strength.

As long as you have strength, you are God, even beyond God. Liu Che, the person who changed history and turned this world into the world of pulse masters, was the god of that era.

Since strength represents everything, it doesn't matter if Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism, as long as you can improve your strength, you are just a tool to become a god.

Although Zhou Tai doesn't have too many theories, his approach is the same as Shi Xin's, no matter what he teaches, as long as he improves his strength, he is easy to teach.

Shi Xin and Zhou Tai walked slowly to the White Horse Temple, and a burst of sandalwood entered their noses, which shocked people's spirits.

Shi Xin lowered his voice and asked Zhou Tai, "Does Youping know the origin of Buddhism?"

"I don't know. But the gods and Buddhas still feel that they are the most reliable. ”

"Haha! You're right, but since you're in the ancestral court of Buddhism, you at least know some Buddhist ideas, otherwise it's useless to go shopping. ”

"Then Brother Shi said I'll listen. ”

Actually, Buddhism can be divided into Hinayana Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism, and Mahayana Buddhism. Those who practice the Hinayana Dharma only pay attention to their own practice, those who cross the Mahayana Dharma and cross others at the same time, and while practicing on their own, they also care about the sufferings of the world and achieve universal benefit; and the Mahayana Buddhism is between Hinayana and Mahayana, and at the same time they cross themselves, they also cross the Buddha's fate. Youping, do you understand? Youping, wake up, Youping! What's wrong with you, Youping!"

Zhou Tai's eyelids couldn't help falling, and he yawned, "Brother Shi, what are you talking about?

"Food? Are you hungry again? I told you so much about the Dharma, and you told me to eat?"

In fact, the ink in Shi Xin's stomach could be blown in front of Zhou Tai, but Zhou Tai couldn't listen to it at all. Shi Xin looked like he hated iron but not steel, and told Zhou Tai to read more often, but in the future, he would follow him in and out of the big scenes, and all he saw were great writers, great calligraphers and other characters, and don't be ashamed when the time comes.

Zhou Tai couldn't listen to it, but a monk next to him couldn't help but be taken aback after overhearing Shi Xin's words, "Amitabha, where did the donor learn such a subtle Dharma?"
