304. The beautiful enchantress on the Zuji Road

Xu Le: They drove directly to the Huangmei Four Ancestors Temple at night! In addition to cultivation one night, Xu Le wrote about the path of Buddhist reform, basically describing the primitive sect and Hinayana sect, including the drinking light department, but he didn't know much about his family, but he just said that it was inherited from ancient times, and the interior was very chaotic, which made Xu Le excited and lost, no way, do you still have to go there yourself?

The next morning, the two climbed into the courtyard wall at five o'clock in the morning, and after finishing their work inside, they began to wander around!

Sizu Temple is located in the Shuangfeng Mountain, known as the Youju Temple in ancient times, formerly known as Zhengjue Temple, also known as Shuangfeng Temple, is the fourth generation of Zen patriarch Daoxin Master Daoxin's dojo. Founded in 624 of the Tang Dynasty, with a history of nearly 1,400 years, it is the first temple of the Zen sect. The two of them took a look at the Pilu Pagoda, the Pagoda of Sentient Beings, the Mantle Tower, the Lingrun Bridge, the Four Ancestors Palace, the Jiaoyun Pavilion and the many cliff stone carvings. Subsequently, Xu Le saw three ancient cypress trees, two of which were dragon cypress trees (commonly known as inverted cypresses), a cloud cypress tree (also known as auspicious cypress), cloud cypress branches are luxuriant, tall and handsome, according to legend, it is planted by the four ancestors of Daoxin himself, it has a history of more than 1,300 years, Xu Le sensed the breath respectively, absorbed some of the comfort, and then the two of them continued to move forward in the green pine and green bamboo, flowing water and mixed water, picturesque, quiet and elegant beauty!

Wuzu Temple is not far from Sizu Temple, it didn't take an hour to arrive, it is also on the Dongshan of Wuzu Town, Huangmei County, so it is also called Dongshan Dharma Vein or Dongshan Famen, and Jiujiang River across the river, this is the fifth generation of Zen Zen Master Hongren Master Hongzhi Dharma Dojo. Xu Le couldn't help but think of his own East Mountain Peak and that song! He wandered around thinking about the distance.

Buddha fruit Keqin, Buddha Jianhui Qin, Buddha eye Qingyuan three people, called "three masters", also known as "three Buddhas", are here to encourage self-sufficiency, spread Buddhism, Zen style flourished, so that the reputation of the five ancestors temple more shake the world. The whole Buddhist temple complex, according to the mountain situation by the upper, middle and lower three parts, the whole is like the ancient palace building, for the central axis of the equal layout, the hierarchy is clear, the temple construction area is nearly 50,000 square meters. The four main halls of the Heavenly King Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Pilu Palace, and the True Body Hall are built on the central axis according to the height of the mountain. The palace building is staggered with bucket arches. According to records, there are more than 1,000 halls, nunnery halls and pavilions, buildings and pavilions in the heyday of the Five Ancestors Temple.

Xu Le looked at the four words of the Daxiong Treasure Hall was written by the old man of the knife, and he didn't have time to take care of the dragon Arhat, so he came directly to the white lotus pond, the white lotus in the pond was planted by Hongren's hand so far, the white lotus has grown vigorously, slim and elegant, the green leaves are like covers, and the color is white and fragrant. Xu Le wanted to dig a tree and go, but he only absorbed some breath from a distance, and the rich holy breath made the green dragon roll up and down, excited, Xu Le suddenly felt that his liver was clear and his eyes were clear, as if he could see the inside through the real thing, good things, next time you can ask for two lotus seeds, no, you have to dig one and go, hehe! But he really can't waste any more time, he is dressed in a false coat and covers his head, so that no one can recognize it!

Then I took a look at the six ancestors falling waist stone, which is rectangular, about 14 kilograms, engraved with the five big characters of "six ancestors falling waist stone" and the poem of the famous poet monk Huishan of the Qing Dynasty "the stone rope wears the ancestral traces and stays, and the blood and sweat of Cao Xi are collected here".

Xu Le thought that the kung fu of the Sixth Ancestor had already reached nearly thirty catties when he was just getting started, which was still relatively low!

Subsequently, Xu Le saw six ancient rare sandalwood, commonly known as the oil tree, the largest of them, thick and circumferential, almost 30 meters high, covering an area of nearly one acre, after Xu Le went up, without saying a word, holding down with both hands, inhaling again and again, and finally it can not be said that it is plundered, that is also to let them slow down for a year or two, and then the two went straight to the Sanzu Temple.

Sitting in the car, Xu Le was still thinking about Master Hongren, who was born in 601 and went west in 675, and was considered the actual founder of the Zen school. The Shenxiu line of the Northern Sect soon declined, and the Huineng line of the Southern Sect became the mainstream of the Zen school, and later developed into the five schools of Linji, Weiyang, Caodong, Yunmen, and Fayan, which are collectively known as the Five Sects of Zen. Zen school is the Buddhist sect with the largest number of branches in China, and it is also the sect with the longest circulation in the history of Chinese Buddhism and the most extensive influence on Chinese culture and thought. The Zen style advocated by Hongren has a far-reaching impact, affecting Southeast Asia, the country of Inu-Japan and even the world.

This old show is worth studying, Xu Le remembered it!

Sanzu Temple and the Four Ancestors, the Five Ancestors Temple all belong to the same Dabie Mountains, more than 100 kilometers away from the Five Ancestors Temple, but it has arrived in Qianshan City, Huizhou Province, located in the Tianzhu Mountain nine kilometers northwest of the city, because the three ancestors of the Zen school are stationed in Xi, so it is called the Three Ancestors Temple. Sanzu Temple once had Lin Kui, Wang Anshi, Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Li Gonglin, Lu Zai and other literati visiting the temple inscription poems. There is a poem "Who is the first in the Zen forest, this place is the crown of Nanzhou".

It's already twelve o'clock, Xu Le and Zhong Quan don't eat, and go directly to go inside for a walk.

The Sanzu Temple is built in the north-south direction of the Fengxing Mountain, from the Mountain Gate Hall to the Jue Lonely Tower, covering an area of seven square kilometers, the place is quite large. The southernmost building is the mountain gate hall, from the heavenly steps to the top for the Tianwang Palace, and then to the north is the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Thousand Buddha Palace, the Patriarch Palace, and the Jue Lonely Tower. Xu Le walked into the Prajna Gate of the three gates of "Prajna Gate", "Liberation Gate", and "Jingjin Gate", and entered the Mahavira Treasure Hall, which was actually Shakya Buddha, Medicine Buddha, and Virujana Buddha, what does this mean, don't you understand?

Then I looked at Seng Can's introduction to the development of the Sinicization of the Zen school, first, to change the orientation of high-ranking officials and dignitaries to the lower-class masses. When Buddhism first entered China, most of the people who came into contact with the faith were nobles, and the monks changed the strategy of relying on the Dharma of the upper echelons to become the people in the village and the elders; second, to build a monastery in the urban area to a preaching center in the deep mountains; Third, change the impermanence of the "head tuoxing" to a public altar to preach the law; Fourth, change the "non-establishment of words" to the preaching of scriptures. At the beginning of the Zen teachings, there was a saying that "no words were established", advocating meditation and gradual enlightenment. At the same time, Seng Can's public propagation of the Dharma was also carefully written in the "Faith Inscription", which expounded the righteousness from the combination of history and reality, patriarch and believer, doctrine and practice, and opened up the convenience to teach at the right time. Some scholars say that the "Faith Inscription" is the first classic of the Zen school, and the "Sutra of the Altar of the Six Patriarchs" is called the most Chinese Buddhist classic, which has created a theoretical precedent for the Zen school to summarize its practice experience in words.

Xu Le really hadn't read "Faith Inscription", he wrote it down, and he had to take a good look back!

No, there is nothing in this Three Ancestors Temple, the destruction is too bad, although many books look very thick, but there are no trees for a long time, Xu Le feels a little panicked!

But come to think of it, although I didn't find fur in Ganzhou this time, I gained a lot of money, and it was also earned!

Then the two of them found a place and ate several large bowls of noodles, as well as beef, local buffalo meat, not particularly delicious, but no way!

Then the two of them continued to move forward, and it was more than three hours, and finally arrived at the edge of Chaohu Lake, Xu Le looked at the sign of Chaohu Lake, as well as the sign of Sanhe Ancient Town, and asked Zhong Quan to stop the car, and it was already dark at this time!

All you can see is the silver light of the moon shining on the surface of the lake!

The two decided to rest in Sanhe Ancient Town, walk around and eat something, and drive overnight at night, at least fourteen or fifteen hours to Qilu Spring City, otherwise it will be difficult to rush back on the third, the most important thing is that Xu Le thought that it would be best to have a meal with Zhang Guangran at noon tomorrow!

Xu Le and Zhong Quan walked around the ancient town of Sanhe, about an hour, the tattered ones were being repaired, there was Sun Liren's hometown and the hometown of the Chinese scientist who won the world award, all of them were old mansions in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the villages were densely covered with rivers, and there were boats coming over, a beautiful picture of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River!

The two then found a big place, asked for the local rice dumplings, roasted wheat, and hemp duck were missing several copies, and then took a local historical and cultural landscape introduction from the checkout place, got on the car and continued to drive north, two roads, one to Huizhou Shuangfei, and one to Ningsu Jiankang, Xu Le finally decided to take the west line, which can be one hundred and two kilometers less, two or three hours!

Xu Le looked at the introduction in the booklet in his hand, from Sanhe Ancient Town to Yefu Mountain, Tiejiao Mountain, etc., he was attracted by a text!

"Historical Records: Xia Benji" "Tang Xiude, all the princes return to Tang." Tang led his troops to cut down Xia Ji. He walked away and died... Tang then let go and was in the same boat with Concubine Yuxi. Flowing in the sea, dying in the mountain of the South Nest", the mountain of the South Nest is the south of the Chaohu Lake.

Yuxi, the queen of Xia Ji, the last monarch of the Xia Dynasty, has poems praising her beautiful clouds: there is Shi Yuxi, with clear eyebrows; Makeup and colorful clothes, and Na Feixi; Crystal jade dew, the pity of people.

Xu Le looked at this text introduction, imagining a peerless beauty with delicate eyebrows and rhyme, jade body crystal with dew, long sleeves and good dancing, graceful and colorful, and loved by everyone, she has three special habits: first, she likes to watch a large group of men and women, naked in a wine pool that is enough for rowing, drinking wildly; Second, I like to listen to the sound of silk tearing, the maid tearing the silk, she is intoxicated like enjoying the most beautiful music in the world; The third is that she likes to wear men's clothes, especially enjoying wearing men's official hats on her head and swaggering through the market.

Yu Xi was originally a princess of the country, and after Xia Wei got this beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city, she was spoiled to the point of no return. Specially built for it to build a tilting palace, build a yaotai, make a Qiong room, set up a jade door, and can't wait to wrap it with gold and jade. often does not avoid the ministers, let Yuxi sit on his knees, and show affection wantonly. The most creative, don't beauties like to watch all men and women frolicking in the water, Xia Wei spared no financial resources, and repaired a personal industrial pool for his concubine, the pool was filled with wine, and the name was called "Night Palace", and he personally took a group of men and women to jump into the pool, drinking and lewdness, just for Yuxi to like it, and he didn't ask about political affairs in January.

A woman's beauty will eventually decline, and the king's love will eventually fall out of favor. The direct reason for Yuxi's fall from grace is that Xia Wei has a new love. Xia Wei led his troops to attack Minshan, and the lord of Minshan imitated the Shi clan of the year, you offer a beauty, and I will offer two to the king at once, a sinking fish and a goose, a closed moon and a shy flower, and the name is also noble and elegant, a "Wan", a "Yan". With these two, Yuxi, who still has charm, has become a yellow-faced woman in Xia Wei's eyes, and in order not to disturb the king's good deeds, Yuxi was degraded and sent to Luoshui, and stayed lonely.

Then I continued to see that once the new person replaced the old person, Xia Wei was very fond of Wan and Yan, how could he show his special love for the two? The wine pool can no longer be repaired, these two don't like to listen to the sound of tearing silk, Xia Wei and someone found two pieces of beautiful jade, invited the world's most skilled jade craftsman, one piece of jade engraved with the word "Wan", the other piece of jade engraved with the word "Yan", the status of the two in the king's heart, there is jade to learn.

Some people began to speculate that Yuxi was bound to take revenge, because of resentment, because of hatred, because of hatred, the idea of destroying the country and killing the king. Just in time for Yi Yin to help Shang Tang fight with Xia Wei, Yu Xi went undercover, secretly corresponded with Yi Yin, and delivered military intelligence of the Xia Dynasty. Xia Wei was defeated, and he couldn't take care of Wan and Yan's beauties, so he hugged his head and fled to Fengqiu, Yuzhou today, where he was captured and became a prisoner. In the end, he was exiled to Nanchao, and the country was destroyed.

Xu Le looked at this text and seemed to think of another sentence, "I am of the same clan as Empress Yu, and I want to take you back to your ancestral land"!

Xu Le hit a spirit, and immediately sent a text message to himself, Yu Xi "I am of the same clan as Empress Yu, I want to take you back to the ancestral land"!

Wait, Xu Le was stunned, looked at this large paragraph of text introduction, and sent Yuxi to Luoshui, Luoshui, Erlitou Xia Ruins? There is only one place, Shixia Ruins, and the scale is small, is it the place where Yuxi was abandoned?

But that is not the same as the voice he heard, Xu Le's head suddenly hurt a little again, and he quickly sent a text message, Yu Xi degraded Ju Luoshui, Erlitou?

Xu Le continued to see, some people said that Yu Xi was killed by Shang Tang, and some people said that she accompanied Xia Wei to the South Nest Mountain and finally died!

As for why she came to this point, some say that she was a spy in the first place, isn't this? Where is Shi Guo, in Qilu Mengyin; And where is Yi Yin, in Shangqiu, Yuzhou, hundreds of kilometers away, crazy, why don't the two of them know each other, and they are still childhood sweethearts?

Some say that it is because love turns into hatred and finally takes revenge, so he colluded with Yi Yin to kill Xia Ji, and he can really enjoy Xia Ji alone!

But Xu Le, thinking about a sentence in his head, there may be this possibility, but revenge may be more accurate, and even say that this kind of revenge has nothing to do with hatred because of love, it is an eternal hatred, or it will involve Empress Yu, the most important thing is that if you want to kill Xia Ji, you will kill Xia Ji, why do you want to mention Empress Yu?

Xu Le texted all these things to himself!

In the end, Yuxi became the first example of the red face and disaster in later generations, and then there were three generations of Daji, the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Spring and Autumn Period. Therefore, when the king of Yue Goujian sent Fan Li to dedicate Xi Shi to Wu Wangfucha, Wu Zixu said: "The minister heard: Xia died with Yu Xi, Yin died with Daji, and Zhou died with praise." The husband and the beautiful woman, the things of the country, the king can not bear it", and finally Yuxi and Daji, Bao Xi, and Li Ji are called the four great demon queens in ancient China.

However, the earliest historical record about Yuxi comes from the "Chinese", and there is only a few written records on it: "In the past, Xia was felled and charred, and there were people who gave to Yuxi and women, and Yuxi was favored, so he died in Xia with Yi Yinbi." This record does not have any evil deeds such as Yuxi debauchery, confusing the king, splitting silk, and traveling naked, but only after the Han Dynasty, there were various sayings such as indulgence, wanton enjoyment, wine pond meat forest, and naked frolic.

Xu Le, thinking about these enchantresses, what they really hate the most is Li Ji, right? Only Li Ji is a disaster to the country and the people in the real sense, dividing the relationship between father and son, framing the prince, causing trouble to the ministers, forcing the son away, forcibly making his son on the throne, and finally the son was killed, his nephew was killed again, and he was also killed, so that the Jin generation only reached the stage of heavy ears, that is, the Duke of Jin Wen got better again!

Xu Le was a little stunned when he saw the last sentence of Yu Xi's introduction, "The year of birth and death is unknown, and he is also Yu Xi, Mo Xi, and Mo Xi; The princess of the Shi family was the first beauty in the country at that time. The queen of the seventeenth monarch of the Xia Dynasty, Chunwei's stepmother. Some people call Hu Meixi".

Hu Yuxi, Hu, fox? Yu Hou is of the same family

Daji, the nine-tailed sky fox?

Bao Xi, Bao Guo's surname, after Dayu, after Yu, after Yu?

Xu Le's brain didn't have time to send a message, so he patted his head, Huaxia man, it's a shame, it's like forgetting what he just thought!

Xu Le took out his computer and opened a new document, "Is it hereditary for a Chinese man to shirk responsibility?" - On the Four Enchantresses is not an excuse for the destruction of the dynasty! 》

This article written by Xu Le is purely a joke, he just thinks it seems a little funny!

First of all, I talked about how well-known the four beauties are, but whether it is in appearance or in terms of status, it is far inferior to the four demon queens, Yuxi, Daji, Bao Xi and Li Ji, respectively, corresponding to their respective men Xia Wei, King Xu, King You, and Jin Xiangong.

Most of the beauties of the four beauties are touted by literati and ink writers, and the four great enchantresses are really a disaster for the country and the people.

Yuxi is Xia Wei's favorite concubine. There is a poem praising Yuxi's beauty: "There is Shi Yuxi, and her eyebrows are clear." Makeup and colorful clothes, and Na Feixi. Crystal rain and dew, people's pity. In order to stabilize his rule, King Xia Wei sent troops to attack the Shi clan, and the chiefs of the Shi tribe bent their knees to sue for peace, offering their cattle, sheep, horses, and beauties - including the chief's sister "Yuxi".

At this time, the soup of the powerful Shang State also sent a spy - Yi Yin with a bitter meat trick. Yi Yin is quickly trusted by Xia Ji and cooperates with Meixi. In addition, Xia Wei was bewitched by the three strange habits of his sister, and was finally destroyed by Shang Tang, ending the Xia Dynasty that lasted for nearly 500 years.

Jida is the last monarch of the Shang generation in China, and she is a peerless beauty that is rare to see in a hundred years. Like the fate of Yuxi, who was also one of the Four Great Enchantresses, in the thirtieth year of the reign of Shang Prince Xin, that is, in 1047 BC, he launched an attack on the Yousu tribe, and one of the trophies he brought back was Daji. In "The Romance of the Gods", Su Daji instigated King Zhou to brutalize Zhongliang and kill innocents indiscriminately, and once attempted to provoke Bo Yi, the son of King Wen of Zhou, and ordered him to be chopped into meat sauce and made into buns (one version is a pie) for King Wen of Zhou to eat. She likes to hear people's screams of pain, so the king abuses torture and creates horrific torture such as cannon branding, hammering, and snake bites, which is actually nonsense!

Bao Xi, surname Bao, Bao Guoren, name unknown. Her mother was a little palace maid in King Li's palace, and was later discovered by King Li. Her mother threw her into the river, became an abandoned baby, and was adopted by a Songpan couple who sold bows and arrows and quivers, and grew up in Baoguo.

According to legend, the king of Zhou You smiled for Bo and lit the beacon tower, and the princes thought that the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Haojing, was a warning and rushed to the rescue overnight. After that, the dog Rong entered the Kou, attacked Haojing on a large scale, killed the king of Zhou You, the son of Bao Xi Bofu and Zheng Boyou Yu Xi, and captured Bao Xi.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong sent troops to attack Lirong (the name of the ancient minority, a branch of Xirong, surnamed Ji. In Lishan, Lintong County, present-day Taibai Province), Jin Xiangong destroyed the king of Lirong in the fifteenth year of his reign and brought his daughter Liji back to China as a captive.

In order for Xi Qi to strive to inherit the position of the monarch of the Jin State, Li Ji conspired with Youshi, first divided the three sons of the prince Shensheng, Chong'er, and Yiwu into other places, and then poisoned the sacrificial meat that Shensheng paid tribute to, thus framing him for wanting to rebel, causing the prince Shensheng to commit suicide, and Chong'er and Yiwu fled to Di and Liang, which was the famous "Liji Rebellion" in the Spring and Autumn Period.

But for the introduction of Xia Wei, King Zhou and King Zhou You, all of them are in one sentence, both civil and military, dignified appearance, especially King Zhou, which can be said to be the first in the combat power ranking of the Shang generation, and it is by no means a blow to pull out the mountain and cover the world, one by one heroic gods!

Xu Le first boasted about every emperor when he was discussing, why didn't you see you say that women are not good when you are powerful, why is it that at the last moment, the country is over, and it is all women's affairs?

Look at the Jin Kingdom, even if it was played like this by Li Ji, didn't there still be a Jin Wengong in the end?

Of course, Jin Wengong also has to thank women, but he has never seen a big book, thinking of Jin Wengong, he thinks of Qi Jiang, too much Qi Jiang, amazing, he has to talk to Zhang Guangran about this issue when he goes back!

Subsequently, Xu Le borrowed a passage from the introduction of the tourist information "Chinese Jin Yu I": "In the past Xia, there was charity, and there were donors who were happy with Yuxi, and Yuxi was favored, so he died in Xia with Yi Yinbi", among them, there is no evil deeds such as Yuxi debauchery, confusing the king, splitting the drape, naked travel, etc. It was only after the Han Dynasty that there were various sayings of indulgence, indulgence, wine pond and meat forest, and naked frolic. Obviously, this is the romance of later generations, the rhetoric of the feudal royal literati, not a historical fact.

It's purely an incompetent shirk of responsibility, is it from the beginning of Huaxia that there is such a habit?

After Xu Le finished writing, he looked at his watch, half past ten, okay? directly dialed a phone call to Miao Miao, Miao Miao was surprised who was looking for him this big night, but the people who could make this call were people he knew!

At first glance, it was Xu Le, "Hello, squad leader"!

"Miao Miao, can you find Zhang Guangran's home phone now, I'm walking to Qufu now!"

"Okay, no problem, I'll text you later"!

"Okay, huh? Aren't you with Wen Rong"? Xu Le asked.

"No, Wen Rong lives in the school, and it's quiet, we just finished eating, and I just came back!"

"Oh, by the way, you said quiet, what's wrong with this Jin Jing, why did my senior brother ask me how Jin Jing was?" Xu Le was a little puzzled!

Miao Miao laughed, she wanted to joke with him, but after thinking about it, forget it, Xu Le didn't necessarily feel good in his heart, "Hey, it's a couple again"!

"What, it's a couple again"? Xu Le repeated, oh yes!

"I'll tell you, that's the end of it, and there will be similar situations in the future", Xu Le said angrily, "If you don't pay the introduction fee, it will be done"!

After listening to this, Miao Miao laughed!

After a while, Miao Miao's text message came, Xu Le dialed out directly, Zhang Guangran fell asleep, and was suddenly woken up by the computer at home, and his parents were still watching TV, "Guangran, your phone, didn't say who it is"?

Zhang Guangran put on a dress and ran out!

"Hey, hello, who"? Guang Ran is a little irritable, and the most annoying thing is to be woken up while sleeping!

"Guangran, it's me, Xu Le"!

"Squad leader, is that you? Squad leader, is it really you"? Guang Ran suddenly fell asleep, "Squad leader, is there anything wrong with you at such a late hour?"

"Guangran, I'm on my way to Qufu now, it's about eight o'clock tomorrow to the Confucius Temple in Qufu, do you have time?"

"No problem, squad leader, I'll be on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, you drive slowly, I'll go to bed first"! Guang Ran hung up the phone directly, and then said to his parents, "My squad leader is coming, my squad leader is coming, I'm not sleeping, I have to hurry up to buy a train ticket, I will go to Qufu tomorrow morning, parents, you go to sleep first"!
