Chapter 11 Luo Fall City
After a full night's sleep, it wasn't until the third day of the day that Emperor Han Qing Shi Shiran got up. I slept soundly last night, and I had a long dream, and the content of the dream had long since disappeared with my eyes. I've been on the road lately, and Rao is a young man in his prime and full of energy, and he can't bear it. This sleep was comfortable and calm, and the exhaustion was swept away.
Getting out of bed barefoot, yawning, pushing open the window, the sun shining on the ground, the snow had almost melted. The sun shone in, and the young man stretched his body and stretched his waist generously.
The sun is just right, and I will see Luoyang City later.
recruited Xiao Er and called hot water. After washing up comfortably and changing into clean clothes, Emperor Han Qing pushed open the door and walked down.
It was still early, and there were not many guests on the first floor. The shopkeeper was making calculations at the counter, and the little second brother leaned against the pillar and fell asleep.
Several guests on business trips were eating white porridge, side dishes, and noodles.
"Xiao Er, Emperor Han Qing called lightly. ”
Xiao Er was scared, Childe I'm here. What do you need?
In this way, give me a white porridge, a pickle, a fried dumpling, and two tea eggs. Are there any of these, and the young man asked uncertainly.
Yes, you wait. Xiao Er didn't finish speaking, and had already taken steps towards the back kitchen. On the contrary, Emperor Han Qing looked at each other.
The meal was served quickly, and before the buttocks were hot, Xiao Er had already come with the dishes.
Quickly put down the meal, and Xiao Er turned his head to continue to return to the pillar to nap. Anyway, it's still early, there will hardly be any guests in the morning, and most of the early ones are some tourists who come to Luoyang City for the first time, get up early in the morning and look around. The rest of the old oilers never get up until noon. You must know that Luoyang City, as the accompanying capital, can be regarded as a big city in the top 20 in the land of Jiuzhou. All kinds of bizarre and fun. The people who see are dazzled, the place of fireworks is a must, at night the flower boats in Luoshui are dressed up with flowers and branches, the lights are bright, the night sings until dawn, and a beautiful sound lingers on both sides of the strait. The group of guests who got up at noon, who didn't spend a lot of money on the flower boat in the dead of night, competing for the wind and jealousy, packed an Oiran at night and charged until dawn, and then returned to the inn with difficulty, and slept with his head covered until the afternoon. I have been doing this for a long time, and Xiao Er has his own way of behaving in the world, observing words and feelings, carrying the door clearly, and never making mistakes is the principle.
Emperor Han Qing stopped Xiao Er, who was about to leave. Take a sip of porridge, sandwich a piece of pickles, and chat with the shopkeeper with a match.
The shopkeeper looked like he had the ability to see, bowed slightly, and looked at Emperor Han Qingdi's eyes intently, waiting for the following.
motioned to Xiao Er to sit a few times, and Xiao Er replied that he couldn't break the rules, and then he didn't force others to make it difficult, so he continued to stand on one side.
Emperor Han Qing said that it was the first time to come to Luoyang City, and he wanted to inquire about the places to go in the city, take a look casually, and increase the knowledge of long-distance travel.
In fact, as soon as he was stopped, Xiao Er had a guess, and enthusiastically introduced the places worth visiting in the city.
Xiao Er is worthy of being in constant contact with the north and south, a mouth flies up and down, the mouth is hard to get, and the mouth is like a hanging river when he is introduced, and Emperor Han Qing has to block the droplets with his hand.
The rise of Xiao Er's theory, no effort was spared to promote.
Through Xiao Er's description, Emperor Han Qing gradually understood. Xiao Er focused on recommending three places and strongly requested that it was worth visiting. They are: Big Buddha Grottoes, White Horse Temple, Lijing City Gate.
The young man smiled when he knew it. repeatedly expressed his gratitude to the shopkeeper, and the second waved his hand and said no.
After breakfast, out of the inn, there was a flow of people outside, and the sound of selling was everywhere, and there was a noisy atmosphere. After a little hesitation, I decided to swim from the Big Buddha Grottoes first, carefully identified the next direction, and walked up.
The Big Buddha Grottoes are also in the east city, thirty miles away from the drunken incense building. Located on Longmen Mountain on the edge of the East City, this mountain is named after the Big Buddha Grottoes. Longmen Mountain is stretched from east to west, and it is said that the mountain is actually a larger soil slope. There is not an inch of soil on the mountain, and there are many rocks, which is extremely suitable for stone chisel and carving. In the early years of the Emperor's calendar, the Emperor personally deployed the Annpai Jiuzhou skilled craftsmen for the favorite concubine who believed in Buddhism, which lasted several years to build. Among them, the Lushena Buddha is the most famous, and it is rumored that it was built according to the appearance of the favorite concubine. Later, the favorite concubine flew to the heavenly realm with the emperor, and these rumors disappeared into the dust of history, and there was nothing to study. There should be a few words in the current Shendu City, but no one dares to risk it. Stone caves, built by the mountains, carved ingeniously, or for the Buddha, or the Bodhisattva. From a distance, it shocks the soul and works wonderfully. Thousands of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, large and small, sit in the world, overlooking the mountains and rivers. Later, Foguang Temple settled in the meantime, making the Buddha's light shining in the Big Buddha Grottoes more brilliant. Foguang Temple and White Horse Temple are collectively known as the first Buddha temple in Jiuzhou, sit and talk about Buddha every year, the argument is indispensable, the face is red. It is also a scene of Luoyang City, whenever the Buddha is discussed, good men and women flock to see the style.
Emperor Han Qing visited the Big Buddha Grottoes first, on the one hand, because it was close to the Zuixiang Building, which was convenient for action. When I first arrived in Luoyang City, I was mainly familiar with the surroundings. Another reason, the shop has been blunt, the Buddha Grottoes and the White Horse Temple are inseparable, first visit the grottoes and then visit the White Horse Temple is an intuitive preconceived understanding.
Walking on the street for two or three miles, there were many shops on the street, and all kinds of goods were placed in the middle, and Emperor Han Qing was dazzled to see it. There was actually a place for the cultivation method, and the young people who watched it were shocked.
The cultivation method is also occasionally told by parents and grandparents, most of them are the secrets of the mountain gate, how can they be sold at will on the street like cabbage. This big city is different, Emperor Han Qing thought secretly.
Go in and look at the price, it's ridiculously expensive. It is easy to start with thousands of dollars, and it is secretly tongued. So I can only get over it, and I just looked at the cover, and I saw that the names were mostly some Taoist cultivation methods.
In the past, Emperor Han Qing did not pester his family to learn the cultivation method. The family informed that the sect has strict regulations, and it is strictly forbidden to pass it on to outsiders without authorization, once discovered, depending on the severity of the situation, the light will be abolished, the memory will be cut off, and the heavy will be reincarnated, and you will be sent to life.
Therefore, in Jiuzhou, the cultivation method is strictly controlled, and it can only be purchased through the right channels, or worshiped in the mountain immortal gate to practice. The merits of the exercises determine the level of future achievements, so choosing a method that suits you is the most important thing for a person in practice. After all, there are some surprises in the purchase, unless it is a wealthy person, and you have to choose a formal way. Therefore, most people embark on the path of cultivation or take the road of worshiping the mountain gate.
The first is that not everyone has the qualifications to cultivate, this is why Emperor Han Qing has gone all the way and found that most people are as powerless as himself. Not everyone can survive the storm. But it is a well-established fact that everyone can live 500 years. For example, Jin Wenhu, the secretary of the household department of the dynasty, was 300 years old.
For example, some shops sell some talking spirit beasts, and as soon as Emperor Han Qing entered the store, there was a female voice, and the son was welcome. His eyes swept around, and he found that there was no one, only a white fox, lying on a wooden chair. At one point, the young man suspected that he was hallucinating, until another sound, and the frightened Emperor Han Qing fled. When I finally looked back, I saw a white fox giggling at me. The pedestrians on the street were not surprised, and the young man suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
There was a false alarm, and the young man who had palpitations put down his stroll. I found a carriage, negotiated the price between the two sides, and went to the Big Buddha Grottoes.
For about half an hour, the grotto was in sight. The huge Lushena Buddha comes into view. Outside the carriage, groups of people gathered in groups and talked to each other. At the foot of the mountain, the speed slowed down. The groom asked if he could get off here, there was too much traffic in front of him, and it was not suitable for traffic.
Emperor Han Qing and the groom agreed on a time to pick up, lifted the curtain, and stepped out of the carriage. Although he was already mentally prepared, he was also taken aback by the crowding of people and cars. The black pressure is overwhelming, and there are human heads and roofs everywhere. The carriage was already congested, and it was difficult to move an inch. Most people choose to get out of the carriage and walk into the grotto.
Listen to people's discussions: the grotto is divided into inner and outer gates. The inner gate is the place where the monks of Foguang Temple practice, and they are not allowed to enter, and there is an enchantment guard at the boundary. The outer gate is a sightseeing area, and visitors can enter the tour with the nameplate issued by the deacon hall at the outer gate of Foguang Temple. In fact, the tourist area is responsible for the outer gate of Foguang Temple, and most of the monks who are unwilling to practice are ordered by the temple to manage the affairs of the laity.
Emperor Han Qing followed everyone's footsteps and arrived at the deacon's office at the door, and a little novice sent a nameplate to enter. Entering with the nameplate, walking across a wooden bridge built on Luoshui, the Big Buddha Grottoes come into view.
The Great Buddha of Lushena sits quietly in the middle of the grotto, the treasure is solemn and extraordinary. The whole is carved from a stone mountain, the facial expressions of the characters are rich, and the details are meticulous and lifelike. It can be imagined how the emperor's favorite concubine was in the country and the city, and the mother was the world.
I have seen Lushena, and there are thousands of Buddha statues of different shapes. There are large and small, or lying or lying, the carvings are all lifelike, as if a true Buddha and Bodhisattva are in the world.
Emperor Han Qing looked over one by one, and only then did he enjoy it until the sun set in the west. It wasn't until this time that I remembered that I hadn't eaten lunch, so I found a stall selling stinky tofu and spent a penny to pad my stomach first. Nearby are some villagers spontaneously gathered vendors, for visitors to eat, Foguang Temple only do simple management, and do not charge booth fees, but must be cleaned up and hygienic, this is a mandatory requirement. Violation of the permanent ban on entering the stall,
The taste is not bad, and the young people eat it with relish. The old man who sells stinky tofu is smiling, watching people eat happily, and his face is full of smiles.
Then follow the flow of people to a crowded place. The front of the booth was full of people, men, women and children, everyone smiled implicitly, and smiled a little.
It turned out that this person was also interesting, and other people set up stalls to sell some food, but he did the opposite. The big change is very different, and the ring is set up. Emperor Han Qing looked at this scene with interest!
The ring is not for testing martial arts, and there is a painting hanging. In the painting is a woman about twenty-seven years old, beautiful and lovely, captivating the country and the city, although she is not very old, she has begun to show her edge, ice muscles and jade bones, long hair and waist, melon seed face, willow small waist Yingyingying, the end is dazzling. There are a lot of lottery heads in the ring, a full ten taels of gold. The title of the ring is to make a poem for this woman, which must be chanted in public, and everyone will evaluate it on behalf of her, and the first person can get ten gold. Before Emperor Han Qing came here, there were already a few men and women who thought they were outstanding in poetry and made some attempts. How can it be done in general, and everyone does not approve of it. Ten gold is still placed on the table, and no one cares about it. This is a bitter thing for these men and women, if they get ten gold, it's fine, but if they don't get the first prize, they will lose one gold to this person. This person has earned more than ten gold so far, and most of the onlookers are watching the excitement. It was a long time and no one stepped down to make a move!
Emperor Han Qing had no intention of ending up, thinking that he had been traveling for more than a month, and there was not much left of the family entanglement. I decided to give it a try.
"I come, go over the flow of people, and come to the front of people. He looked at the person who asked the question and said. However, let's change the way we play. If my poems can be in everyone's eyes, I don't want ten gold, I want you to win more than ten gold plus ten gold. Of course, if my poems don't catch everyone's eye, I'll pay you ten gold.
As soon as I heard that there was a big man who was willing to go down, the person who asked the question smiled. A pair of small eyes became more and more difficult to see, and the eyeballs could barely be seen.
Deal.
There was thunderous applause all around, and it was not a big deal to see the excitement.
After a little contemplation, a poem had already appeared in Emperor Han Qing's mind: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent; ”
As Emperor Han Qing's voice fell, there was an endless stream of applause all around. The person who asked the question was pale and frightened. Hunting geese all day long, he was pecked in the eye by an eagle. Lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, it just hurts.
Willing to gamble and lose, give money quickly. The crowd of onlookers shouted loudly! The person who asked the question had to pay obediently. Put away the picture scroll and silently withdraw from the crowd.
Emperor Han Qing put away the gold, retreated from the crowd, and prepared to return to the inn.
No, the woman in the painting just now seems to be the daughter of the city lord: Luo Chengcheng, I was lucky enough to meet him on the street. How can that person have a portrait of the city lord's daughter, report it to the city lord's mansion quickly.
Someone shouted.
Gradually, more people reacted. It is undoubtedly the daughter of the city lord, although she has not seen it many times. But the daughter of the city lord is a celebrity in Luoyang City, and her reputation is very famous. She is as beautiful as a flower, and she is one of the best talented women in Luoyang City. It is rumored that he was accepted as a closed disciple by the Shushan Sect, and he has such a high exposure rate. It's hard for people to know each other. When everyone turned back and tried to find out the person who was in question, they were long gone.
Everyone gathered over and surrounded Emperor Han Qing in the middle, and the compliments came and went. Childe is young and eloquent, not simple, blurted out. Emperor Han Qing was not good at dealing with such a scene, so he had to clench his fists and thank him.
The name of the son is unknown, and someone asked: Emperor Han Qing.
Then he hurried out of the crowd and walked to the place where he had agreed with the groom.
