Chapter 42 Zen Master Hongren
Shenjing is crowded with people, the temple Taoist is scattered with stars, scattered in the city, the people in Shenjing every fifteenth day of the first month, they will pray for blessings in this temple.
"In front is Tantuo Temple. ”
Jin Shiyu was in front of the carriage and said to Su Yang.
Su Yang understood when he heard this.
Tantuo Temple has a long history, is Buddhism spread to the Middle Earth, the earliest period to build the Buddhist temple, since the establishment of the Great Qian Dynasty, most of the harem concubines worship Buddhism, like to come to Tantuo Temple to worship Buddha, Tantuo Temple has also been repaired several times, now majestic and magnificent.
Su Yang and Yan Mingyue got out of the car in front of the Tantuo Temple, and looked towards the Tantuo Temple, only to see that there was a flow of people in this place, most of them were dressed as scholars, and wisps of green smoke rose in the temple, obviously the incense was flourishing.
At the door of Tantuo Temple, there are many people selling incense and candles here, and when they saw Su Yang and Yan Mingyue walking down, an old man hurriedly stepped forward, took Su Yang, and said, "This son, do you want to buy incense?"
Su Yang looked at the incense in the old man's hand, all of which were normal, and asked, "How much." ”
"Three taels of silver. ”
The old man smiled at Su Yang, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.
"It's too expensive!"
Su Yang shook his head and refused, and said, "Three taels of silver, I can buy a bundle in another place." ”
When the old man heard Su Yang's refusal, he shook his head and returned to his incense stall.
Su Yang looked at the old man's attitude, not like a person who stalked and sold incense, so he stepped forward and asked, "But this temple let you sell it?"
The temple scenic spot sells incense, this kind of business is very normal, and there are a lot of internal and external collusion, but if this person rents a booth, he should be stalked, and the incense must be sold, and this person just asks, not forced, it should be a person in the temple, in this job, ask a word, do a responsibility.
When the old man heard this, he turned his head directly, and he shouldn't be Su Yang at all.
Seeing this, Su Yang no longer continued to ask, but got up and walked inside, and when he asked questions, Su Yang could naturally see clearly when he arrived in the temple.
Tantuo Temple enters the mountain gate, the first hall is the Tianwang Palace, in this Tianwang Palace, it is the Maitreya Buddha, the four heavenly kings, and after the Maitreya Buddha, it is Wei Tuo.
The Maitreya Buddha in the Heavenly King Hall is the appearance that most people recognize, showing his chest and abdomen, smiling often, and the four heavenly kings around the main hall are even more solemn.
Su Yang and Yan Mingyue walked around the hall and then went to the back.
"Huh, sir, it's you......"
Su Yang and Yan Mingyue just walked to the backyard, confronted a scholar, and after seeing Su Yang, they bowed down.
Zhang Jieshou. ”
When Su Yang saw this scholar, he also called out this person's name in one mouth.
The acquaintance with Zhang Jieshou was in Jinling, when Su Yang sorted out the beggars in Jinling City, sold small commodities in Jinling City, and also hired a gentleman to teach the beggars to read and write. [Chapter 206]
At that time, Zhang Jieshou's family was poor, and there was also a sense of arrogance of a scholar, and after rolling in the beggar's nest for a while, he let go of his arrogance and truly integrated into the beggar group.
"It's rare for a gentleman to remember me. ”
Zhang Jieshou gave up his hand to Su Yang again, was full of gratitude to Su Yang, and said: "After being tempered by Mr., Jieshou has benefited a lot. ”
Su Yang nodded slightly, looked at Zhang Jieshou, and asked, "Are you here for this scientific examination?"
"Yes. ”
Zhang Jieshou nodded and said.
"Good. ”
Su Yang nodded with satisfaction, Zhang Jieshou was a poor family when he was in Jinling, but he was born with pure filial piety, and after being tempered in Jinling, he saw and did things more than ordinary people, not a nerd who died of studying, such a person should be of great use to Su Yang.
"You are in this temple, but you burn incense and worship the Buddha, and you come to ask for the scientific examination?"
Su Yang asked.
"That's not the case. ”
Zhang Jieshou hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "The matter of scientific research cannot be faked to others, let alone ghosts and gods? ”
Living here with your mother?
Su Yang looked at Zhang Jieshou, and on Zhang Jieshou's body, he could faintly see some demonic energy.
"Sir, please. ”
Zhang Jie was invited by Su Yang to go inside, Su Yang and Yan Mingyue glanced at each other, and the two of them walked to the temple together, with Zhang Jieshou in front, Su Yang and Yan Mingyue walked behind, passed the temple in front of them, and walked to the meditation room in the back together.
On the way, Zhang Jieshou also told Su Yang about his situation, not long after Su Yang left Jinling, Zhang Jieshou got married, his wife was the daughter of the official family, called Ah Xi, Zhang Jieshou's father-in-law went to Shaanxi to take office, and Ah Xi took his maid and went to the capital with Zhang Jieshou.
Speaking of this, Zhang Jie was ashamed and said: "It is not a good policy to carry the family and drag the family with the family in the scientific expedition, but Qingmei wants to go to Beijing to find relatives, Ah Xi can't mention it, and he suffers in vain if he stays at home, so he follows me thousands of miles away and comes here." ”
Qingmei is Axi's maid.
Su Yang smiled and said, "I can't bear my wife and children, this is human nature, and it's not my fault, so why be ashamed." ”
Zhang Jieshou listened to Su Yang's words and nodded again and again.
Yan Mingyue on the side, her temperament seems to be a little colder.
Zhang Jieshou took Su Yang to the outside of the meditation room in the backyard, and shouted in a low voice, and there was movement inside, a woman dressed in male clothes and with a beautiful appearance stepped forward to open the door, and saw Su Yang and Yan Mingyue behind him for a slight pause, and quickly let go of the body and let Su Yang and others walk in.
Su Yang looked at this woman, even if this woman was a man, Su Yang could also see her talent and beauty, which could be described as a captivating city.
"This is a green plum. ”
Zhang Jieshou introduced: "My marriage with Ah Xi is all due to Qingmei in it. ”
Su Yang's eyes swept over Qingmei, nodded with a smile, and said, "You are so blessed." ”
Whether it is Ah Xi or Qingmei, they must be Zhang Jieshou's pillow people, and Qingmei threads the needle in it, so that Ah Xi can marry Zhang Jieshou together, because Qingmei herself has a crush on Zhang Jieshou, let Ah Xi marry, and she will be able to marry her.
And after seeing Qingmei, Su Yang also confirmed one thing...... Zhang Jieshou is also the protagonist of Liaozhai.
Liao Zhai's "Qingmei" records such a story, Jinling Zhang Jie's family is poor, renting Wang Jinshi's house to live, but he was born with pure filial piety, and Qingmei is a half-demon like Ying Ning, who was sold to Wang Jinshi's house since he was a child, as a maid next to Axi.
Qingmei fell in love with Zhang Jieshou pure filial piety, and thought that Zhang Jieshou was not a thing in the pool, so he asked Ah Xi to marry him, but Ah Xi's parents disliked Zhang Jie's poverty and did not want to, and then Wang Jinshi wanted to take office, Zhang Jieshou proposed again, this time to marry Qingmei, and after handing over the redemption money, he married Qingmei home.
After Qingmei got married, she managed Zhang Jieshou's family business, and Zhang Jieshou was able to concentrate on studying, and Axi's parents only two years ago, died of illness one after another, and the family's property was confiscated, that is, Axi also fell into a temple, and then a big official passed by, Axi saw the official's wife, only to see that it was Qingmei, after Qingmei and Axi recognized each other, they let Axi marry, and still respect Axi as a sister.
Zhang Jieshou's mother treated Ah Xi and Qingmei together, and asked the subordinates to call both of them Mrs., and later Zhang Jieshou was appointed to the squire, and the matter was also written to the emperor, and after the emperor knew, he canonized both as ladies.
This is a tale of chatting about Zhai, tactful and tortuous, but after Zhang Jieshou and Su Yang got married in Jinling City, they were directly exempted from many processes, and after the Zhang family became rich, Ah Xi's parents naturally agreed, and also let Zhang Jieshou directly marry Ah Xi, with Qingmei, after making great progress in his homework in Jinling City, he brought his wife and concubine and came here to seek an official position.
Su Yang looked at Qingmei, Zhang Jieshou, and Axi, and instantly understood the cause and effect of all this, and looked at Zhang Jieshou with a smile.
Qingmei, as the heroine of the Liao Zhai book, although she does not see supernatural powers, she has the ability to recognize people, and she is a rare character.
"The inn outside costs twenty-five taels a month, but inside this temple, it only costs three taels a month. ”
Zhang Jie was ashamed and said: "Because of the lack of money, I came here to make this decision." ”
Taking a female dependant to the temple is very unpleasant to say.
Su Yang understood what Zhang Jieshou meant, and did not dwell on this topic, but talked about the situation of the temple.
"The price of Shenjing has skyrocketed, but the abbot is elegant, and only accepts three taels of silver. ”
Su Yang said: "At this time, in Shenjing, there are many students from all over the world rushing to take the exam, and Tantuo Temple is so cheap, it is also for the benefit of these students...... I wonder how many students and monks live here now?"
Su Yang was full of curiosity about Tantuo Temple.
After saying this, Zhang Jieshou was suddenly dumbfounded, and after Zhang Jieshou, Ah Xi's face turned pale and lowered his head.
Qingmei's face remained unchanged, and after hearing Su Yang's inquiry, she said frankly: "In Tantuo Temple, there are 12 monks, including one abbot, one supervisor, one monk who knows guests, and the rest are sprinkling, knocking wooden fish, and cooking, as for the students of this Tantuo Temple...... It's just me. ”
"Oh?"
Su Yang was extremely surprised when he heard this, and asked: "I see that there are a lot of people in Tantuo Temple, and the housing prices are so cheap, why are there so few people living here?"
Tantuo Temple is also a very prestigious temple in the capital, like this kind of temple, it supports one hundred and ten monks, it is not a problem, and the whole Tantuo Temple is so big, there are only so many people, but there is a problem.
Qingmei pursed her lips and said: "All because of the Tantuo Temple, every night, there will be ghosts crying, whining like a puppy screaming, suddenly in the south, suddenly in the north, the monks in the temple are playing lanterns, and they can't find a place for ghosts to cry. ”
Although this girl is a half-demon, she is extremely keen, has the ability to recognize people, and sees that Su Yang is extraordinary, so she will tell everything in Tantuo Temple one by one.
Macro forbearance?
When Su Yang heard this name, he was slightly stunned.
When he was a city god in Qingyun Mountain, he once saw such a record.
On the third day of the sixth month of the year of Dinghai, it snowed heavily in Shangqiu, and the snake demon fled to Qingyun, and Hongren was in the town.
Coincidental?
