After leaving Mount Tai, Zhang Xun no longer had a clue about the "seed". However, Zhang Xun is now in a peaceful state of mind, and since he can't find a direction for the time being, he should follow his own heart. If you want to talk about the ancient capital of China in the previous life, there are only two that Zhang Xun recognizes the most, that is, Chang'an and Luoyang. As for Jinling, which was later Nanjing, as the capital of the dynasty or local secession regime, it was too short-lived, but it was good to play. Beijing is only close to modern times, and the Forbidden City has been preserved, so if you really want to say that the historical heritage is definitely not as good as Chang'an and Luoyang. Back to the Wenchang Continent, Chang'an is now called Xianyang in the Qin State, and Zhang Xun decided to go last. So where to go now, Zhang Xun has only one answer in his heart, Luoyang, the capital of the Zhou Kingdom.

Of course, Zhang Xun is still more casual, not to Luoyang, but to carefully design a route from Mount Tai to Luoyang, on the way to the mountains and mountains, water and water. Simei vaguely guessed that Zhang Xun still wanted to find someone, but Zhang Xun didn't say anything, and Simei was also tossed by him. The four children were a little depressed at first, after all, they were always reluctant to leave their friends who had just known each other for a long time. However, I was soon attracted by the changing scenery and my mood improved.

It took three months for Zhang Xun's family to arrive at the east gate of Luoyang City, although the Zhou Dynasty became the Zhou State, and more than 3,000 years later, Luoyang was still very prosperous and stood there. came to Luoyang, the ancient capital of his longing, Zhang Xun planned to stay with his family for a year, and as for the "seed", Zhang Xun didn't think about him for the time being. Since he is going to live for a long time, of course, he has to buy a mansion, and Zhang Xun will not be wronged by himself and his family. However, I am not familiar with this life, so I should visit Luoyang Mansion Yin. Anyway, although he has been silent for more than ten years, but the pre-holy bachelor's degree is still there, as long as this Luoyang Mansion Yin comes to the door by himself and helps him buy a good house, he should not refuse himself.

Zhang Xun first settled Simei and the four children in an inn not far from the Luoyang Mansion, and then went to the Luoyang Mansion. I saw that outside the government gate, a group of scholars were looking at the notices posted on the wall and whispering there. Zhang Xun knew that there must be something, after all, this Luoyang Mansion was a very solemn existence, and it would never post notices indiscriminately if it was not an important matter. When I stepped forward, it turned out to be a poem for the peony, and the first place was rewarded with a large mansion located next to the peony garden. Zhang Xun thought to himself, "This is the rhythm of someone handing over a pillow just after falling asleep!" Anyway, it is a poem describing peony, and it is normal for him to make better poems, but he blindly low-key, as if he disappeared in the literary world, which arouses suspicion. Zhang Xun thought about it and walked to the main gate of the Luoyang Mansion, and the official was about to inquire, Zhang Xun said: "I am Zhang Xun, a former saint, and there is a masterpiece that describes peonies. The title of the poem is "Peony Appreciation", and listen to me chant it. ”

The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified,

Ikegami Hibiscus is quiet and affectionate.

Only the peony is true to the country,

When the flowers bloom, the capital is moved.

Although the Temple of Literature is now in decline, and there is no manifestation of the sainthood, the literati can still feel the quality of the work, but it is not like the famous sound of the Holy Voice more than ten years ago. Therefore, after Zhang Xun chanted this poem in which Liu Yuxi praised the peony, it still caused a lot of repercussions. The movement was so big, then Luoyang Mansion Yin was naturally alarmed. Coming out of the inner room, Yin Wenlexing of Luoyang Mansion laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Today, when you Zhang Lang first came to Luoyang, he made such a masterpiece. This is my luck in Luoyang! With this poem, my Luoyang peony should be famous all over the world, and the celebrities and gentlemen of the country should come one after another to participate in the grand event. Zhang Xun said: "Lord Yin, the ancient capital of Luoyang, is prosperous. It has a long history and is prosperous. Xiaosheng has been famous for a long time! Today, when I came to this garden city, the beauty of Luoyang is worthy of its name! Seeing the poems of Lord Yin of the Mansion, Xiaosheng occasionally has some gains, and it is also related to this Luoyang. Lord Fu Yin praised it so much, Xiaosheng really didn't dare to take it. Nawen Mansion Yin said: "Master Zhang, please follow this mansion into the house." Zhang Xun followed Wen Fu Yin to the hall of the backyard of the mansion. Wen Fu Yin said at this time: "Brother Zhang, just call me Brother Wen." Now this hall is just you and me, and you don't have to be as red tape as when you're outside. Zhang Xun said: "What Brother Wen said is that I came to Luoyang and wanted to stay here for a year, and I was afraid that I would often disturb Brother Wen in the future." Wenfu Yin smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, I can't ask for you to stay in Luoyang for a long time." There are still two months left, and the annual event "Peony Festival" in Luoyang is about to open. I hope that Brother Zhang will come out with another masterpiece. Zhang Xun said: "Brother Wen, I will definitely participate then." Wenfu Yin got Zhang Xun's reply, so he called his master and took Zhang Xun to a mansion next to the peony garden. This is the reward for Zhang Xun's poetry.

Zhang Xun thanked the master, and then opened the door and entered this mansion, the reward that Luoyang Mansion Yin took out must be excellent, and it is definitely a rare enjoyment to live here. Zhang Xun simply turned around and went to the inn to pick up his family.

Zhang Xun's family happily lived in this mansion, and after tidying up, this is the family's warm home for a year. It's winter, and the peony is definitely not visible, but there are a few plum blossoms in the yard, which is particularly moving in this winter. Simei said: "Husband, you can make a poem praising plum blossoms!" Zhang Xun thought about it and chanted out the five-character quatrain "Plum Blossom" by Wang Anshi: "There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens it alone." I know that it is not snow, but there is a dark fragrance. The four beauties each chanted, feeling that this poem was really far-reaching, and said to Zhang Xun: "The husband is really talented, and such a masterpiece can come out of his mouth." Zhang Xun thought to himself, "Hey, when can I stop copying?" but said: "I don't know if the four ladies have ever heard the phrase "Kung Fu is outside the poem", in your opinion, I have become a poem in an instant, but I don't know the hardships of reading hard when I was young. Just like this plum blossom "without a cold bone, how to get the plum blossom fragrant." "Okay, let's not talk about this, our family will go to the White Horse Temple tomorrow to burn incense and pray for blessings!" Simei came to Luoyang and heard that the White Horse Temple was the most prestigious Buddhist temple when she was at the inn. It's just that I don't know the origin of this White Horse Temple, so I said to Zhang Xun: "Husband, you tell us about this White Horse Temple!" Zhang Xun said: "Okay, please listen to the four ladies and I will speak slowly." It is said that more than 3,500 years ago, it was still the Zhou Dynasty. Soon after King Wu of Zhou and King Zhou Cheng, the third monarch of King Zhou Kang, succeeded to the throne, he suddenly dreamed of the Jin people one night and sent an envoy to the Western Regions to pray for Buddhism on the second day. The envoy trekked through mountains and rivers to Tianzhu, and invited two eminent monks to return to Luoyang with Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues on white horses. At this time, it was three years later, and King Kang of Zhou personally bowed down to greet him and ordered the construction of a monastery outside the Yongmen. This monastery was built in a year, in order to remember the merits of the White Horse Sutra, the name of this monastery is the White Horse Temple. This is the origin of the White Horse Temple, although more than 3,500 years have passed, but because of the expansion and renovation of the past dynasties, it is still very well preserved, and it is the first temple in the world. Simei heard Zhang Xun's explanation and increased her knowledge a lot. So he said to Zhang Xun: "Husband, thank you for solving our doubts. Zhang Xun said: "Okay, let's go into the house to rest! Tomorrow we have to get up early and go to the head incense of this White Horse Temple." ”

On the second day, before dawn, Zhang Xun's family came to the gate of the White Horse Temple, looked at the white horse statue in front of the door, and all sighed, "What a skillful work!" At this time, the gate of the White Horse Temple is closed, and the White Horse Temple opens at 6 o'clock in the morning every day. Zhang Xun knew that his family came a little early, but there was no way, no matter how late he was, he wouldn't be able to grab the first incense. After waiting for only two or three minutes, many people came to line up, and Zhang Xun was glad that he finally didn't miss the first incense.

Soon, the two novices opened the door, and Zhang Xun led the way. A famous temple is a famous temple, and as soon as you enter it, everyone feels that their hearts are calm. Accompanied by the sound of Sanskrit, Zhang Xun's family visited several major buildings successively. Tianwang Palace, Big Buddha Palace, Daxiong Palace, and Receiving Hall all the way Zhang Xun's family have deeply felt the Buddha's light shining and purifying the faith of all living beings. When he came to the incense hall and was about to offer incense, a monk sang loudly: "Amitabha, does Zhang Shizhu still remember the poor monk?" Zhang Xun looked over: "It turned out to be the master of regret, I haven't seen it for more than ten years, and I don't want to meet it again in this White Horse Temple." Master Penitential Kong said: "Master Zhang, you can let your family burn incense, you come with the poor monk, and the poor monk has something to tell you." After Zhang Xun motioned Simei and the children to go to worship incense, he said to Master Confession: "It's okay, then please ask Master Confession to lead the way!"

Zhang Xun followed the confessed master to a quiet room, and sat cross-legged on the futon. Master Confession opened his mouth and said: "Master Zhang, since that day Master Wu left and returned to Penglai Immortal Island, on the surface, the Wufa Temple has been broken. In fact, it was just an illusion, Master Hengzhi said at the time, Master Zhang, you need a secret place to have important things to do in twenty years, it is better to enlighten the Dharma Temple. And said that the cause and effect of it will be known when the donor arrives. Ten years ago, Master Hengzhi went to Penglai Immortal Island and told me to come to this White Horse Temple to practice, and said that you and I will meet here again. "Zhang Xun has read the cultivation of the master's drunken Taoist, and he understands it as soon as he hears it. The Wufa Temple is a teleportation point between the Wenchang Continent and Penglai Immortal Island. The temple is to confuse outsiders, but in fact, there is something inside. Zhang Xun said to Master Confession: "Thank you, Master Confession, I know, I don't know which realm Master Regret Kong has reached in the three realms of Zen Buddhism now?" Zhang Xun said: "Master Repentance, although more than ten years have passed since that day, I still remember it vividly. At that time, I was a scholar who had just entered the WTO, and you were a novice who had just become a monk. Well, everything that needs to be said has been said. Repentant master, see you soon!" Master Penitential said: "The poor monk sends off Zhang Shizhu. ”

After meeting with the children after paying homage to Simei, Zhang Xun's family returned to Zhang's house. White Horse Temple and his entourage, talking with Master Regret, Zhang Xun has a clear plan for the next ten years. After finding all the "seeds", go to the Enlightenment Zen Temple, where there must be a secret realm, where the path of cultivating immortals for yourself and your family will begin. Zhang Xun went to the study with Simei after the children fell asleep and told Simei about the "seeds". Only then did Simei know why Zhang Xun had been silent for ten years and now was running around, and she was pleased that her husband told them frankly.

Zhang Xun knew that the opportunity to find the "seed" was in the peony festival, so in the next two months, the family traveled all over the big and small attractions in Luoyang, fortunately, Luoyang is very big, there are many scenic spots, the children have fun, Zhang Xun and Simei enjoy life, just wait for the peony flowers to bloom.
