Chapter 23: The Five Temples of Buddhism
Zhu Yiming burped, "Brother, you are underestimating me, my Tianxianglou is full of diners every day, what kind of person have I never seen?" ”
"But why are you asking the Buddha?"
Chu Xuan had already made up an excuse, "I was fortunate enough to read a few Buddhist scriptures, and I felt that there were subtle words and meanings, and I was very interested, so I also wanted to learn about Buddhism." ”
Zhu Yiming waved his hand, "Buddhism, this is a bit old." ”
"Let me tell you this, the founding emperor of our Dayu used the power of the five temples of Buddhism to pacify the weird, unify the countries, and establish Dayu on this land."
"Therefore, in the six hundred years since the founding of Dayu, the imperial court has always had a small preferential treatment for Buddhism."
Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
He didn't expect that the connection between Buddhism and Dayu would be so deep.
And, weird?
This was the first time he had heard the word "weird" from someone else.
"What's a little treat?" Chu Xuan asked.
Zhu Yiming smiled and said in a low voice, "Buddhist monks don't need to serve in the military and don't need to pay taxes. ”
Chu Xuan was speechless for a while.
What's this special call a small preferential treatment?
In the long run, Buddhism will swell, and the imperial court will lose its military resources and lack tax revenue.
Zhu Yiming saw his thoughts, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, what we can think of, the big people above will definitely be able to think of it." ”
"Anyway, I remember that the imperial court has always had restrictions on the five Buddhist temples, and the maximum number of people cannot exceed how many or how much......"
Chu Xuan took a deep breath and asked, "Brother Zhu, what are you talking about, why have I never heard of it?" ”
Zhu Yiming smiled, "You don't know it's normal, I didn't know it before, it was my father who told me." ”
"My father, I heard it when I was chatting with the magistrate."
Chu Xuan's heart moved.
What did the magistrate say?
The magistrate belongs to a member of the official system of the Great Yu State, and the information this person has must be true.
"I see," Chu Xuan said curiously, "What exactly is weird, is it similar to a demon?" ”
Zhu Yiming smiled mysteriously, "Brother, you are wrong, if they are one thing, they will not be two names." ”
Chu Xuan asked again, "What's the difference?" ”
Zhu Yiming's smile was even more mysterious, "Demons can be killed, but they are weird and can't be killed!" ”
Chu Xuan's expression was stunned.
Kill or not?
"Weird can be a piece of grass, a tree, a dog, a person, a house, a river, or even a phenomenon."
"What they have in common is that they can't be killed, they can only be sealed."
"Six hundred years ago, Dayu was not established at that time, and there were weird everywhere, and then the founding emperor of Dayu united the five temples of Buddhism and sealed most of the weird, so that the people of Dayu could live and work in peace and contentment."
Zhu Yiming sighed with emotion, "I heard that in the process of sealing, many Buddhist monks died, which is also the reason why the royal family gave preferential treatment to Buddhism." ”
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
He kind of understood.
It seems that everything that cannot be explained can be called weird.
Before, the knife brought by Wang Tianfeng could demagogue people's hearts, and even from people using knives to controlling people with knives, it should be weird.
"Then why doesn't anyone talk about weirdness now?" Chu Xuan was puzzled.
Zhu Yiming took a sip of wine and shrugged his shoulders, "Of course, because the weirdness has disappeared, it has never appeared since the founding of Dayu." ”
"It's been so long that a lot of people have forgotten about weirdness."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you forget it, the seals have been intact for six hundred years, and it is impossible to break them now."
"Let's just live the life in front of us."
Chu Xuan couldn't cry or laugh.
This is said without the concept of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
Moreover, it is full of flags.
Chu Xuan noticed that he was already drunk, so he hurriedly asked other questions.
However, he did not ask about "Rou Tai Sui".
He instinctively felt that it was best not to mention the word Rou Tai Sui to the outside world, otherwise it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Chu Xuan asked, "Brother Zhu, which are the five temples of Buddhism?" ”
Zhu Yiming took another sip of wine, and then replied, "The five temples of Buddhism are Tianlong Temple, Leiyin Temple, Baiyun Temple, Pagoda Temple, and Fengyu Temple. ”
"Tianlong Temple is the first of the five temples, and the second ...... of Leiyin Temple"
"These five temples are the largest five, and there are branches below them, for example, Qinghe Mansion has Qinglong Temple, a branch of Tianlong Temple, and Moyun Temple, a branch of Baiyun Temple."
"Each temple has its own symbol, which is the ...... in the name"
"For example, the symbol of Tianlong Temple, that is, is a white cloud, huh? Where did I go? Oh yes, speaking of the pagoda temple, the symbol is a white cloud......"
"Huhuhu......"
With a snap, Zhu Yiming's head fell on the table and fell asleep.
Chu Xuan couldn't cry or laugh.
"I had a good harvest this time, and I learned a lot about Buddhism." He smiled.
Then, he summoned a servant and asked him to take Zhu Yiming back to rest.
He patted his belly and went home.
……
Qin Kee Pharmacy, backyard.
When Chu Xuan returned here, Qin Hai's family had just finished eating.
Zhao Hui saw Chu Xuan and frowned, "Where have you been?" We've been waiting for you for a while. ”
Qin Xiaoyu's mouth was full of oil, and she was still holding the last roasted chicken leg tightly in her hand, tilting her little head, "Yes, yes, Xiaoyu wanted to eat, but she was beaten by her father." ”
"Wait, you smell so good...... Have you gone to Tianxiang Tower? Qin Ziyang smelled the fragrance on Chu Xuan's body and exclaimed, "I only go to that place once a month, and I only dare to eat on the first floor......
Each floor of Tianxiang Building is lit with a unique incense.
Smell the heart is relaxed.
And the scent of the first, second, and third floors is different.
That is also the unique feature of Tianxianglou.
Zhao Hui was stunned for a moment, and snorted coldly, "What? Do you dare to go to that place? It's really not distressing to spend other people's money. ”
Qin Hai frowned at first when he heard this, and then stretched out, "Xiao Xuan has not been in Yushan City for a long time, it's nothing to visit the restaurant, Xiao Yu has a birthday in October, and I will take you to Tianxiang Mansion together." ”
Qin Xiaoyu applauded happily, "Okay, good!" Daddy is so nice! ”
Chu Xuan smiled helplessly, "It was Zhu Yiming who pulled me there, and it wasn't me who paid for it, it was he who invited me." ”
The uncles, aunts, and cousins at the dinner table couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.
Zhu Yiming is the second son of the big shopkeeper of Tianxianglou.
This kind of person usually mixes with the children of the three major families and the children of famous and wealthy merchants, how could he invite Chu Xuan to Tianxianglou for dinner?
Qin Ziyang hurriedly asked, "Why would Zhu Yiming invite you to dinner?" ”
Chu Xuan told what happened today.
Although he said it lightly, it fell on Qin Ziyang's ears, which shocked him.
I have been a catcher in the county government for more than two years, and I am friends with Zhu Yiming, so I can only be regarded as colleagues.
Not long after Chu Xuan came to the county office, Zhu Yiming became a friend, and he specially invited guests to dinner.
Qin Hai was very happy, "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog!" Your father is a famous head catcher, and now that you have such an ability, I believe that his spirit in the sky can also be gratified. ”
Zhao Hui blinked, blushing a little.
He just said that Chu Xuan didn't feel distressed with their family's money.
However, Chu Xuan went to eat but Zhu Yiming paid for it.
Qin Xiaoyu said happily, "Then the eldest brother will be able to eat delicious food every day in the future?" Xiaoyu wants it too! ”
Chu Xuan smiled, "Okay, I'll take Xiaoyu with you when you have time." ”
"By the way, Xuan'er and Ziyang, I tell you something, it's very important, you keep it in mind." Qin Hai suddenly spoke solemnly.
Chu Xuan and Qin Ziyang were both stunned and looked at Qin Hai.
Chu Xuan, "Uncle, you say." ”
Qin Hai nodded, "I got the news that the magistrate of the county has made outstanding achievements, and at the end of the year, he will be promoted to the government to take up the post of the magistrate, and the position of the magistrate of Yushan is vacant." ”
"Vacancy? It stands to reason that one should be transferred from the government to take up a post? Qin Ziyang looked puzzled.
Qin Hai shook his head, "No one wants to, Yushan County can only be regarded as a middle county, not a particularly rich upper county, and now that there is a demon raging this matter, no one is willing to take over." ”
Chu Xuan's expression moved, "So, will the county magistrate of Yushan choose one of the county magistrates and county lieutenants?" ”
"That's right! Whoever does well, who is in charge. Qin Hai glanced at him approvingly.
"In the future, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, and the Li family and the Wang family represented by the two of them may start a series of open and secret battles, and the Bai family may also participate in it."
"Our family has always supported County Lieutenant Wang, you two should be careful, usually be cautious, be more mindful, don't be taken advantage of by the people of the county Cheng faction and damage the image of the county lieutenant."
Chu Xuan and Qin Ziyang both nodded.
"Okay, that's all for now, let's go back and rest." Qin Hai waved his hand.
The night is getting darker.
Chu Xuan was lying on the bed, still thinking about the clues he had gotten from Changshengzhai, Zhou Long, and the dossier in his mind.
At this moment, his chest suddenly became hot.
Chu Xuan hurriedly got up and took out the bronze mirror in his arms.
The bronze mirror, which had not reacted for a long time, showed a line of text at this time.
"Hidden Wings: Three days later, the Red Cloud Teahouse in Baishuifang."
Chu Xuan's eyes flickered.
The party of Changshengsai! Here it comes!
