Volume 11 Zhang Gongbei Looks at the Heavenly Wolf Chapter 939 Taoist Priest
(Commuter Pass...... ļ¼
There are also a lot of temples and Taoist temples in Datong City, but when Datong was in turmoil, most of them were robbed by the people of Datong, you know, the temples and Taoist temples in the north are very wealthy, especially the siege of the city for a long time, the monks and Taoist priests are still fat and big-headed, and the complexion is very good.
Don't look at the people who usually worship the Buddha and worship the Tao, they are very pious, but when it is really time to hand over their lives, who cares how he is the Buddha, what about the three Qings, first fill his belly and save his life is true, and then you can think about the Buddha's confession of his own mistakes, anyway, the Buddha didn't say it, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha.
And the place with the most temples and Taoist temples is actually in the Jinrenxing Palace, where a fire came down, and there was no room left.
And other Taoist temples in Datong City, also suffered a lot, Taoist monks ran away, afterwards, also exposed several Buddhist temples and Taoist monks eat the rumors of human heads, in the troubled times, strange things are endless, even the Buddha and Taoism are not exempt.
The most famous in the west of Datong City is naturally the Zenfang Temple, it is said that in dozens of miles away at the Zhangren Peak, it sounds like an extremely dangerous pass, it is a big temple built in the Tang Dynasty, and the Liao Jurchens have expanded.
But it is too far away, Zhao Shi does not have that leisure and elegance, in such weather to run dozens of miles to worship the Buddha, today's trip, it is just a place of interest, the heart of the Buddha to lead the way, is not at all.
So after a round of walking, I still came to the door of a small Taoist temple five or six miles west of the city, where the green bricks and green tiles are built, and the construction is quite simple.
When the Qin army besieged the city, it was also used as a garrison place, and someone had built a yƬ Zhao Shi put the handsome tent here, but Zhao Shi did not agree, the army was fighting, and the spirit of Buddhism was not compatible, in popular terms, it was a killing thing for the army. There are many reports back and forth, and when everyone sees that the Shuai tent is actually a Taoist temple, most of them will have some strange thoughts, which is not good for the army.
The Taoist priests in this temple are also obedient, and the army came here. The Taoist priests closed their doors. Later, I didn't know if it was really a shortage of food, or I was afraid that the soldiers of the Qin army would go to the temple to grab food, an old Taoist priest with a white beard carried two little Taoist boys, and once gave silver to the soldiers. said that he wanted to buy food or something, and he was very bold......
Such a group of twenty or thirty people, all with sharp blades, and all of them have healthy horses under their crotches, and they are equipped with bows and knives. It's impossible not to be alarmed.
No one stepped forward to call the door, the door had been opened, and a middle-aged Taoist priest went out to greet him, looking at these people of all shapes, he couldn't help but be a little frightened.
However, Xu is accustomed to seeing the Jurchen magnates traveling, although he was shocked, he was not chaotic, and when he saw everyone standing in front of him, he stepped forward and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please be poor." May I ask the donors who are here, do you want to offer incense or make a vow......"
Zhao Shi turned over and dismounted, everyone followed, Zhao Shi nodded at him, and said, "Let's pass by here." Come and see, Shangxiang still repays the wish, turn around and say, what. If you don't make incense, don't you want to let you in? ā
Zhao Shi Kuiwei's figure obviously startled this person. Seeing that this person must be the leader of everyone, he quickly bowed his head and took a step back, and said: "Don't dare, I can get the blessing of your donors, Xiaoguan is already full of brilliance, come, the donor also invites you to ......."
The small Taoist temple is indeed good in the service, although it is winter, a few plum trees are swaying, if it is summer, there is no shortage of pine and cypress.
Different from Chang'an, although the place here is refreshing, but there is no need to mention chic, a qiÄ is simple, not taken off by the rough, divided into the main hall, the side hall, the apse of several places.
Some houses, naturally for the Taoist priests to rest, the main hall of the side hall are for the statue, the incense, it seems to be not bad, the weather is cold, the incense ash in the incense burner in the main hall has accumulated a thick layer.
The middle-aged Taoist priest carefully waited and explained on the side, and then a few Taoist children came in, all of them were in their teens, looking behind them with probes and brains, their eyes were full of curiosity, but there was not much fear.
Also, the army has seen the siege with their own eyes, not to mention these twenty or thirty people.
The Tatars here believe in their gods, and there is always immortality in Muhuali's mouth, and the soldiers are doing the work with their heads tucked, and there are few people who believe in Buddhism and Taoism.
When it came to Zhang Fengju, he was very arrogant, saying that when he entered the Taoist temple, he always had to pay homage to it, so as to seek peace for himself, but as long as you see him talking, you know that this guy has no heart and lungs, and it is purely for the sake of being poor and happy.
I begged for incense and candles from the Taoist priest, and went to put on a stick of incense by myself, estimating that he didn't even know which one was worshipping, but he was just chanting something in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was muttering, which made people want to put two feet on his ass.
After offering incense and bowing twice, he turned around and signaled to his own soldiers, and one of his soldiers reluctantly took out a large piece of silver and handed it to the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest's hand sank, and he secretly weighed it, there were more than ten or twenty taels, and suddenly his eyes lit up a little, obviously, the Taoist priest also wanted to eat.
However, although Zhao Shi and the others were all dressed in civilian clothes, Zhang Feng gathered a few people from the barracks, all of them were dressed in military uniforms, and this Taoist priest also knew in his heart, although some of these people were Hu people, but those next to them must be Qin people.
I didn't dare to slack off anything, but when I saw the silver, I was even more happy, and besides, when I was surrounded by a large army, although I was very scared, I also knew that the Qin people didn't seem to be as terrible as the legend.
For irrelevant people, they are quite kind, and the Jurchens, the Khitans always like to be angry with people, which is very different.
After getting the silver, the middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and led the group to the backyard, and his mouth was no longer so bland, while scolding the Taoist child, he smiled and said that although his own view was pure, but the vegetarian food made in the temple was famous nearby, and even a few big temples in the city could not be compared.
When he said this, he didn't look like a Taoist priest, but like a restaurant running the hall.
Zhang Feng gathered behind Zhao Shi, and frowned at the two of them, Mu Huali, which means to say, take a look, you have to learn from Lao Tzu, and if you make a move with the silver of the white flowers, you will eat and drink immediately, and the flattery will also make people listen to it comfortably......
Zhao Shi avoided his expression, but he was thinking, these monks and Taoists are very smart, but if they are not smart, they will not survive in this place.
After walking around the temple, I can also feel a little refreshed.
Recalling the beginning of the year into Shu, there was such an old Taoist priest when the street blocked the road, the gods chattered to show themselves, and finally was surrounded by the Qingxu Taoist, very fighting, it is said that the old Taoist is very good, or the famous swordsman of Heluo, between the reckless, you can always see some strange people, and I don't know if there are people in the rivers and lakes hiding in this Taoist temple.
Turning these strange thoughts, it is inevitable to follow the Taoist priest to a pure place behind, an old Taoist priest with a white beard has been waiting there, and the middle-aged Taoist priest has introduced, this is the Taoist temple's master, the Taoist Lingyun Taoist, a very atmospheric name.
This Lingyun Daoist is also a lot of bearing, much more polite than this middle-aged Taoist priest who is quite greedy for money, and Zhao Shi has no ill feelings towards Taoist monks or anything.
The old Taoist priest restrained his hands to invite guests, Zhao Shi waved his hand and let everyone follow those Taoist boys, and he led two personal soldiers into a room with the old Taoist priest.
A cup of tea, a few snacks, it seems that these Taoist priests are living a good life, Zhao Shi sat down, smiled and said: "There is no need to talk about Buddhism and Taoism, the Taoist is not young, and his knowledge must be extensive, why don't you tell me the story of the northern land, so that we can also increase our knowledge?" ā
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and laughed, very kind, so that he really had a little bit of the meaning of floating out of the dust, but unfortunately, he met a layman like Zhao Shi, and it was really unnecessary to talk about Buddhism and Taoism, and Zhao Shi didn't know anything about it.
"Looking at the face of the donor, he must be a rich and noble person......"
Zhao Shi smiled and waved his hand, interrupting his words and said, "It's okay to look at the face, I'm not respectful of ghosts and gods......"
The Taoist priest was not annoyed, and still said with a smile: "Ghosts and gods are born from the heart, sincerity is the ghosts and gods are at ease, and the ghosts and gods are at ease when the heart is strong, and the mind is clear, if the ghosts are like gods, you will know that the donor is not a mortal person when you hear it...... Speaking of which, although Lao Dao has lived for all these years, it is a blessing to see a person like the benefactor......"
"But the donor came without asking for anything, and the old way could only let the donor go away without a result."
Pretending to be a ghost, Zhao Shi thought to himself, this is not the same meaning, you have a noble background, don't make fun of our little people, but when you say it in people's mouths, there is a kind of mysterious and mysterious taste, the old Taoist priest runs this small place well, and it seems that there are still some means.
This is his first experience, remembering that on the bank of the Fenshui River, Li Shifang came with a decree, but he strayed into the wild temple, and was almost slaughtered by the wild monk as a fat sheep.
Laughing secretly in his heart, even if he was idle, he didn't care about chatting with this old Taoist priest, turning the tea bowl in his hand, his eyes turned around the old Taoist priest, but after looking at it twice, he always felt that something was wrong, his eyes flickered, and his heart said, he wouldn't run into bandits like Li Shifang, now in this world, it's really uncertain.
After thinking about it, the warm tea bowl in his hand felt a little prickly, so he smiled and said: "Since I came, how could I come back without a result, don't Taoists think that I am a good deceitful?" ā
