After eating, out of the restaurant, Zhao Ta asked Lu Junyi and Yue Fei: "Have you heard of this Yang Gongzi?" ”

Both of them shook their heads, and Zhao Ta looked at Ouyang Bei, who was sitting in the carriage and gnawing on a leg of mutton: "Do you know that Yang Gongzi and Xingchen are moving?" ”

Ouyang Bei was stunned, and then smiled: "Young Master Yang, ......"

Zhao Ta frowned: "Don't sell Guanzi." ”

"Hehe...... Ouyang Bei put down the leg of mutton that didn't have much meat left, wiped the greasy palm on the placket, and said, "Childe, this person has a big name." ”

Zhao Ta walked over and sat on the wheel, and said suspiciously: "What is the name, why haven't I heard of it in the past two years?" ”

"Childe doesn't know him, because this person's whereabouts are erratic, and although he is in the rivers and lakes, he is different from ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, and he rarely interacts with those poor haha." Ouyang North Road.

"But why?" Zhao Tan wondered.

Ouyang Bei pondered: "This person is a descendant of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty, a lot of gold, silver and money, and there are followers around him, but he does things like the rivers and lakes, so ordinary people don't talk about it, but his fame is really big, especially the star-moving martial arts, known as a rare opponent." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Descendants of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty? ”

Ouyang Bei nodded: "Exactly, it is said that the inheritance is quite reliable, and it should be true." ”

Zhao Ta said: "What's your name?" ”

Ouyang Beidao: "It's called Yang Yuan." ”

"Yang Yuan? The original of restoration? Zhao Tan sneered: "The Sui Dynasty has been destroyed for hundreds of years, do you still want to recover?" ”

Ouyang Bei sneered and said: "Childe, maybe this Yang Yuan has always thought in his heart that Sui is not dead, and it is not easy to say. ”

Zhao Tan groaned: "What's going on with the stars shifting? ”

Ouyang Bei thought for a while: "It is rumored that this was created by a martial arts genius of the Yang family from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, and that person is called Yang Xianzhi. ”

"Yang Xianzhi?" Zhao Ta touched his chin: "How can you have the same name as Wang Xianzhi, the general of the Tianbu Average who rebelled at the end of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Ouyang Bei said with a smile: "Childe, it is said in the rivers and lakes that Wang Xianzhi who rebelled back then was actually Yang Xianzhi, but at the beginning, in order to act in concealment, he used his mother's surname, and after the rod was revealed, it was continued, and Xingchenyi was created by this person." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Ta was a little surprised, he knew that Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao were both strong martial artists, but he never thought that Wang Xianzhi would have such a background.

"Childe, that's exactly the case." Ouyang Beidao: "The Yang family has a inheritance from generation to generation, originally in Yangzhou, and later moved to Hangzhou, Jiangnan, I heard that the house is on the shore of the West Lake in Hangzhou, and the descendants of the Yang family have a wide marriage with some martial arts families in Hangzhou. ”

"If Yangzhou is not wrong, Emperor Yang of Sui has been operating there for a long time, and it is not impossible to leave some descendants to pass on the bloodline." Zhao Tan frowned and said, "Why did you move to Hangzhou later and marry a martial arts family?" ”

"Childe, I don't know the reason for moving away, but it is estimated that it is related to the marriage, the previous Hangzhou martial arts family Wang, Su, Bai, Yuan, etc. have had in-laws with the Yang family, and the Wang family is Yang Xianzhi's mother's family."

"Wang, Su, Bai, Yuan?" Zhao Ta raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Min next to him.

Xiao Min was stunned and said, "Erlang, it won't be the Su family of my mother's family, right?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "It's hard to say. ”

Ouyang Bei continued: "However, in recent years, three of these four families have declined, and only the Bai family still maintains some reputation, but my subordinates don't know if those three families still live in Hangzhou, or move to other places. ”

Zhao Ta said: "This Yang is originally Songshan, and it is said that he wants to kick Songshan Wu Temple." ”

Ouyang Bei's face twitched when he heard this: "Young Master Yang wants to challenge Songshan Martial Temple?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "That's right, many people in the restaurant are here to see the excitement. ”

Ouyang Beidao: "That subordinate went upstairs to investigate, and said that he didn't know anyone who just asked carefully." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Go quickly and return quickly." ”

Ouyang Bei answered "yes", got out of the car and went upstairs, returned in about half an hour, and said to Zhao Ta: "Son, my subordinates met an acquaintance many years ago, and they also came to join in the fun. ”

"Tomorrow?" Zhao Ta pondered for a few breaths and looked at everyone: "Go and settle down first, and then go up the mountain to see how this Songshan Martial Temple is in condition." ”

Everyone said yes, and went to find the inn, the inn in Songxia Town is also a lot, but now there are too many people in the rivers and lakes, so I am worried that there is no vacancy, but when I arrived, I realized that there were some worries, and the inns had indeed booked out a lot of rooms, but they were all shops and some small rooms, as for expensive places such as single courtyards, they were very few to live in.

Zhao Ta asked for a courtyard, then arranged all the items and chores, left Ouyang Bei to look after the house, and took a few people out.

The location of the mountain outside the Songxia Town, is directly leading to the Songshan Wu Temple, all the way to the pleasant scenery, along the way also meet some people who also go up the mountain, want to have a sneak peek of the style of the Songshan Temple, is to listen to talk about everything, the platform Songshan Temple, the platform Yang Gongzi side, noisy, but also get a lot of news and anecdotes.

Among them, the most said is the martial arts of Songshan Temple, some people think that it is a waste of fame, some people think that there are indeed stunts, noisy, and even grumpy on the spot.

Zhao Ta walked while watching the excitement, and after about an hour, he could already see the mountain gate of Songshan Temple.

This Songshan Temple was founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty Taihe 19 years, there is the name of the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, but although the Zen word is profound, but the most people who learn Buddhism will not learn Zen Buddhism, and the number of Buddhists in other prominent sects is more than the number of Zen Buddhism.

Songshan Temple is also famous for martial arts, there are seventy-two unique arts hidden in the Jianghu Legend Temple, all of which can strengthen the body, not to mention, but also to fight.

There are warrior monks in Songshan Temple, and the warrior monks are divided into stick monks, knife monks, fist monks, all of whom are good at fighting, the so-called monks in the temple of the Jianghu people are vicious, referring to these warrior monks.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the thirteen monks of Songshan Temple were rewarded by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, gave a thousand hectares of land, a body of water grinding, and called the Songshan warrior monk as a monk soldier, since then, Songshan Temple is famous all over the world, known as the first temple.

At its peak, Songshan Temple has more than 14,000 acres of land, more than 540 acres of temple foundation, more than 5,000 pavilions, more than 5,000 monks, and two or three thousand monks.

When he arrived in this dynasty, Emperor Renzong also supported the construction of a temple in Songshan Temple, and set up a lower courtyard in the city of Tokyo, and many ministers in the court believed in Zen Buddhism.

Zhao Ta saw the mountain gate at this moment, it was really magnificent and magnificent, the momentum was extraordinary, the three big characters of Songshan Temple, the ink pen painted gold, showing the true meaning.

At this time, there are people coming and going in front of the temple, and this temple is usually not closed because it accepts incense.

However, because there are too many people in the rivers and lakes today, many monks come out of the temple to preside over the order.

Zhao Ta looked at it for a moment and said, "Let's go around in advance." ”

When they approached, they were just about to enter, and immediately a fat monk stood up and sang the Buddha's name, and asked, "May I ask how many donors have come to the temple?" ”

Zhao Taqi said: "In the past, there were such rules to ask? ”

The fat monk smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid that the donor will know, there was no one in the past, but tomorrow there will be uninvited guests visiting the temple, and the number of guests in the rivers and lakes will increase, and the host abbot will ask about it, so as to calculate the number of viewers tomorrow." ”

Zhao Ta said: "What if it's calculated?" ”

The obese monk said: "If there are a lot of people after calculation, then write a sign and stand at the foot of the mountain, so that ordinary people who worship the Buddha do not have to go up the mountain tomorrow, so as not to get chaos and hurt innocent people." ”

Zhao Tan nodded: "Compassion is the original intention of the Buddha." ”

The great monk said: "May I also ask whether the donor is from the rivers and lakes, or does he usually visit Buddhism?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "But it's not a river and lake, and I don't know what will happen tomorrow, I only came to visit the Buddha and visit an elder by the way." ”

The great monk said: "I see that the donor is a rich and noble person, and he must be from an extraordinary background. ”

Zhao Ta looked at him and said, "The great monk is stupid to practice martial arts?" In Buddhism, there is no saying that the rich and the poor are poor, but they just learn Buddhism and cultivate Buddhism, and all living beings are not the same? ”

"Shame!" The big monk's face was slightly red and said: "It's the little monk who is confused, I don't know how to call the elder of the donor, if the little monk knows, he should go to greet the donor." ”

Zhao Ta looked at him playfully when he heard this, and said after a few breaths: "Since you came to visit the Buddha first, this matter will be put second, is this a Buddha...... I also have to offer incense offerings, and I am also a monk, just to accumulate merit during the day. ”

The great monk's eyes lit up suddenly, and before he could speak, he saw Yue Fei over there unwrapping the burden on his body, shaking it gently, and there was a crisp sound inside.

The great monk immediately had a smile on his face, he could already hear that it was the sound of silver colliding, it was definitely not a copper coin, and the copper coin was not so pleasant and moving.

"The donor is so polite, too polite." The great monk grinned and said: "Since the donor is practicing at home, he is a member of my family, and it is really a little slack to speak here, please go to the guest hall to talk about it." ”

Zhao Ta nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

The great monk hurriedly turned around and instructed the other monks, and then announced a Buddha name and said, "The donor, please." ”

Zhao Ta smiled and said, "Great monk, please." ”

After speaking, everyone walked towards the temple together.

At this time, some Jianghu guests had already seen this scene in front of the door, and some of them couldn't help but scold in a low voice: "What a quiet place, don't you still watch people put down dishes!" ”

When someone next to him heard it, he couldn't help but sneer: "People have offerings, do you have them?" There is nothing sour yet. ”

The man said angrily: "Who said I didn't, I also wanted to buy some incense to burn." ”

"You just buy some copper coins, and you have to take the incense sticks in the temple to burn, you are not an offering, or simply burning incense, what is in the burden of people I don't hear? But it's all well-known silver, worth thousands of you, and that's what it's called offering. ”

The man said, "Doesn't Buddhism say that all beings are equal? How can you see how much you do? ”

"The monk didn't say how much to worship, if you ask, people will only tell you that you have a fate with that son, so go inside to talk in detail, and you have no fate, you don't need to be invited, you just walk around slowly."

"I'm bah, what kind of sword crosses the rivers and lakes, Buddha is destined to be a person!" The man couldn't argue, his face turned blue with anger, he stomped his foot violently, spat it, and turned around and left without even entering the temple.

Zhao Ta and a few people followed the great monk to a guest hall, only to see that this place was neat, and knew that the great monk had some rights in this Songshan Temple, so he asked: "How do you call the master?" ”

"Donor, the poor monk's name is true faith." The big monk invited a few people to sit down, and then ordered the little novice to go and make tea.

Zhao Ta signaled to Yue Fei, Yue Fei went over and handed the burden to Zhenxin, Zhao Ta smiled and said: "I won't do this worship in person, just ask Master Zhenxin to take it on my behalf." ”

Zhenxin smiled so much that his face bloomed, and he spoke: "Don't work, don't work, the poor monk will definitely give this matter to the donor properly, and ask the donor's name so that he can register his merits." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Li Fei is flying up." ”

Zhenxin hugged his burden and said, "Then the poor monk will go to handle this matter for the donor first?" ”

Zhao Ta waved his hand: "Go, go." ”

Zhenxin took two steps and turned back and said, "Wait a while, drink some tea to quench your thirst, and the poor monk will come when he goes." With that, he walked out of the room quickly.

Yue Fei looked at Zhao Ta and said, "Senior brother, this monk ......"

Zhao Ta smiled: "It doesn't matter how he is, I'll talk about it after I ask later." ”

At this time, the little novice came in to deliver tea, and Zhao Ta tried a few words, knowing that this true letter was a knowing guest, who was in charge of receiving and inspecting the prestige of the monks, and couldn't help but know in his heart.

In the temple, the highest is generally the abbot, with the abbot as the lord of the group, and if he is not high, his way is not strict, so he is respected as an elder and lives in the abbot.

Therefore, the three titles of abbot, elder, and abbot refer to the same thing.

Under the abbot, there are four class leaders and nine deacons.

The four major class leaders are the first seat, the west hall, the back hall and the hall master, and the nine deacons are the prison house, the Zhike, the Vena, the pawn, the monk, the mantle, the pen, the liao yuan and the treasury.

The superintendent is responsible for the daily management of the monastery, the Zhike is responsible for receiving visitors and inspecting the prestige of the monks, the Vena is responsible for teaching rituals and Buddhist affairs, the canon is responsible for regulating the diet and the necessary social invitations of the monastery, the monk is responsible for the precept inspection, the mantle is responsible for the temple's ritual instruments and the daily life of the abbot, the pen is responsible for writing documents and sending and receiving letters, the Liao Yuan is responsible for receiving monks from all over the world to visit the school, and the head of the library is responsible for the custody and entry and exit of goods.

In addition, there are attendants, who accompany the abbot or elder and are at their disposal.

As for the ordinary deacons of the jungle, there are one hundred and eight deacons, but these are not necessarily all set, but are flexibly controlled according to the size of the monastery, the number of monks, or some special circumstances, and their names are also different.

For example, Lu Zhishen once managed the vegetable garden of Daxiangguo Temple, so it is the head of vegetables, but if there is no vegetable garden in Daxiangguo Temple, then there is no position of head of vegetables.

And these ordinary deacons are under the management of the nine deacons, so this true faith still has a lot of status in the temple.

After a while, Zhenxin ran in and said with a smile: "Donor, the poor monk is late to come back." ”

Zhao Tan smiled and said, "It's not too late, it's not too late, Master Zhenxin sit down, I still have something to ask." ”

Shinshin stuffed his fat body into a chair, took a sip of tea, and said, "But the matter of the donor's elders?" What is the name of the donor's elders? ”

Zhao Ta spread his hands: "It's because I don't know the law name, so I'm embarrassed." ”

Zhenxin smiled: "This is also simple, the donor can know the appearance of the elders, describe it roughly, the poor monk to see if he denies it, after all, the poor monk has been in the temple for a long time, and the donor's elders must be not young, maybe they will know it." ”

Zhao Ta stretched out his hand and tapped on the table and said: "I only saw this elder twice when I was a child, and I thought that his appearance would change, but it was indescribable, but I remember one thing clearly, that is, he is very old, and now he is over 100 years old." ”

"Earlier than 100 years old?" Zhenxin was stunned when he heard this: "There are two people in the temple who are over 100 years old, one is considered to be an uncle, and the other is a teacher's son, so I don't know when the donor's elders will be ordained?" ”

Zhao Ta thought for a while and said, "It should be shaved very early, I'm afraid it's nearly a hundred years?" ”

"Huh?" Zhenxin shook the tea bowl in his hand when he heard this: "Donor, that's not right, the two people in the temple who are over 100 years old, the uncle who entered the temple in his sixties, is like the word generation, as for the master, he is only a hundred and a hundred years old at the moment, but he did not enter the temple at the age of a few years, there are nearly a hundred years, he is about forty years old, and he has lived in the temple for more than 70 years, and the abbot is the same generation, it is the Qing generation. ”

"Such as the word generation, the Qing word generation......" Zhao Ta frowned when he heard this.

"Donor, that's exactly the case, the poor monk is really the word generation, the hundred-year-old uncle above is like the word generation, the teachers and the abbot are all Qing character generations, which does not sound consistent with the donor's elders." Shinshin wondered.

"Is there still a master above the Qing characters?" Zhao Ta thought about it, and felt that something was not quite right, logically speaking, Zhenxin is the governor of Songshan Temple, so the monks in the temple should be familiar with it, especially those who are over 100 years old, it is impossible not to know or forget.

"Donor, there is also a Taishi Gong above the Qing character generation of the temple, this Taishi Gong is because he entered the temple early, entered the temple at the age of five, and worshiped the first seat of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion with the highest seniority at that time as a teacher, so the seniority is also high, this year is ninety-eight years old, but it is not over 100."

Zhao Ta groaned slightly, no, it's all wrong, it's definitely impossible, because Jintai returned to Songshan Temple, even if he wanted to hide his identity, he would definitely not hide his seniority, this kind of thing involves principles, strict rules, and no one will surrender their seniority.

The Qingzi generation of the same generation as the abbot is also not right, and the time of entering the temple is not right, because Jintai entered the temple at the age of about 30, and later returned to the vulgar, and the master Li Canghai entered the temple again after his death, but the true letter said that he has been staying in the temple for more than 70 years after entering the temple, absolutely not.

As for the fact that there is also a Taishigong, this age is not right, not to mention entering the temple at the age of five, it is simply impossible.

Zhao Ta thought secretly in his heart, this must be deliberately concealed by Jintai, otherwise it is impossible for Zhenxin, as a knowing monk, not to know, if so, I am afraid that only the abbot's generation in the temple will know about it.

He said, "What is the name of this most senior master?" ”

Zhenxin said: "Taishi Gong is a Xuanzi generation, and now he is the only remaining Xuanzi monk in the temple. ”

"Xuanzi generation......" Zhao Ta thought for a while and said: "Is there no higher monk in the temple than Xuanzi generation?" ”

"Donor, how is this possible." Zhenxin shook his head and said: "One generation higher is the Qingzi generation, but how old does that have to be, ...... in the temple?"

When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking, remembering that Zhao Ta said that his elder was over a hundred years old, which seemed to be in line, and he couldn't help but say: "The donor suspects that this elder is a Qingzi generation?" ”

Zhao Ta nodded, and then said slowly: "My elder used to worship Master Hongyun back then, I don't know which generation Master Hongyun is?" ”

"Master Red Cloud?" Hearing this, Zhenxin suddenly bounced up from his chair, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Master Hongyun is a Cantonese generation, and the following is the Qingzi generation, so there is no doubt that the elder of the donor should be the Qingzi generation." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around in the guest hall and said after a while: "But now there are indeed no monks in the Qingzi generation in the temple, and the highest is the Xuanzi generation." ”

Zhao Ta heard this: "In this way, it should be the Qingzi generation, Guang, Qing, Xuan, Qing, Ru, Zhen, my elder should be the highest senior monk in the temple." ”

"It stands to reason that this is true, but the poor monk has never heard of it...... Could it be that the donor's elders passed away a few years ago, but they didn't know it? ”

Zhao Ta said with a smile: "A few years ago, there was a master of the Qingzi generation in the temple? ”

Zhenxin was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly smiled bitterly: "What the donor said is that the poor monk has no ancestor of the Qingzi generation since he entered the temple, and the poor monk entered the temple when he was a teenager, and now he has been in Songshan Temple for more than 30 years, and he knows that the Xuanzi generation is the highest." ”

"That's it!" Zhao Ta shook his head and smiled: "I saw this elder when I was a child, so it's definitely not a round death, or it should be in the temple, but the master doesn't know." ”

"The poor monk doesn't know?" True faith on the ground suddenly a little unable to get off the stage, he is a guest monk, although Songshan Temple two or three thousand monks, it is impossible to know all of them, but the age of more than 100 and high generation, where may not recognize it.

"I think it's better for Master Zhenxin to invite the monk to take a look, wouldn't he know?" Zhao Ta said leisurely.

"Monk please?" Hearing this, Zhenxin suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, looked at Zhao Ta and said: "Donor, the monk genealogy is not under the management of the little monk, if it is here for the little monk, the little monk will show it to the donor, but the monk genealogy is under the control of the Discipline Academy." ”

"The Precept Academy?" Zhao Tan smiled: "I really miss this elder very much, and I am willing to donate some merit to the temple, and I also ask Master Zhenxin to do it, please ask Master Zhenxin to go to the Discipline Institute to see if you can borrow the monk's genealogy." ”

At this time, Yue Fei took out another burden from behind his back, and the inside clanged and collided, and the sound was crisp.

True faith couldn't help but stagnate, this is the voice of silver, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Yue Fei stepped forward and stuffed the burden into Zhenxin's arms, Zhenxin wanted to excuse himself, but his hands were forced in, and he hugged him tightly, and said: "Donor, this, this ......"

Zhao Ta said with a smile: "Merit money is only, Master Zhenxin should not shirk it, the monk is still bothering Master Zhenxin to borrow it, and it is not a secret thing, and it will not be damaged, just return it after reading it." ”

Zhenxin said: "Then the little monk is going to try? ”

Zhao Ta waved his hand: "Go and come back quickly." ”

True Credit nodded, and then hurried out of the room with his baggage.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and I heard the sound of footsteps outside, and Shinshin trotted back covered in sweat.

"Donor, these people in the precept academy are too rigid, and it took a lot of effort for the poor monk to make sense, and finally borrowed this monk's genealogy." Shin wiped the sweat from his forehead and placed a sandalwood box under his armpit on the table.

Zhao Ta's eyes fell on the box, nodded and said, "It's hard work to really believe in the master, the master hurry up and sit down and have a cup of tea." ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Zhenxin said: "I will take out this monk pedigree for the benefactor." ”

After speaking, he opened the box, took out a yellowed book, handed it to Zhao Ta and said: "There are two copies of the monk's genealogy, and that one is a long scroll, which is not easy to check, so the little monk brought the booklet." ”

Zhao Ta said: "This is the best." Then he took the booklet and looked through it carefully.

At this time, Shinshin walked to the side, and he was very curious to know who he did not know in this temple.

Zhao Ta flipped to the column of Guangzi generation, and Zhenxin said on the side: "Donor, Master Hongyun's law name is Guanghong, since the donor's elders are disciples of Master Hongyun, you only need to check the names of all disciples below, but everything that has passed away has been marked." ”

Zhao Ta nodded, found Guanghong's name and looked down, sure enough, there was a dense row of disciples, there were dozens of people, but all of them had the word "Yuan" written on them.

He frowned, turned to the next page, and saw that there was a row on it, which were also Guanghong's disciples, all of whom were Qingzi.

His eyes swept slowly, and suddenly his eyes froze, only to see that except for one person, the rest were also marked with death, and the only one who did not mark death was written with the word "vulgar".

This is a disciple of the Qingzi generation who wrote the word "vulgar", and the law name is Qingzheng!
