Chang'an in the Song Dynasty is called Jingzhao Mansion, located in Yongxing Military Road, the place is still that place, but the name is not that name, but the dilapidated appearance seems to be able to see the frequent wars at the end of the Tang Dynasty more than two hundred years ago, but with the passage of time, this was once the most majestic imperial capital in the Central Plains has become a little decayed.

The city wall seems to be similar to a small place like Tongguan, except that it is taller and larger, but there are not many amazing places. Yu Rongdu did not sit in the carriage, but rode a horse to look at the capital of this I don't know how many regimes and dynasties there were. It's a pity that the so-called wind is always blown away by the rain and wind, and such a once most prosperous place is now an ordinary place.

"This is the former Chang'an City!" Yao Gu looked at Yu Rongdu with a little emotion, he knew that Yu Rongdu had never been to Chang'an, and he knew that he had never been to Chang'an, for people like them who often came to Chang'an, no one had such a surprised expression of Chang'an's ruin. In many ways, the current Great Wall does not even have the prosperity and grandeur of Luoyangxian. With the departure of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the southeast shift of the entire political and economic center has been far behind history.

Yu Rongdu didn't speak, but Pan Jinlian and Sun Xian in the carriage opened the curtain and took a look, Pan Jinlian looked at it and said with no interest, "This is Chang'an?

Yao Gu laughed after hearing this, and said helplessly, "If it weren't for Emperor Taizu who thought about moving the capital here, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to see it, don't you know the fate of Taiyuan City, it's already very good that this Chang'an City can be like this." ”

For the words of the two, Yu Rongdu didn't speak, just looked at the city wall, rode a horse and arrived at the city gate, for many people, the gate of this big city is to be checked, from the road to the things to carry, etc., and so on, some encounter which cunning city guards have to pay a certain fee to enter the city, but there are Xijing guards around, a carriage that is obviously a high-ranking official, and there is a Xijing general Yao Gulai in front of the team, Yao Gu is a Xihe envoy, although the Xihe envoy is on Qinfeng Road, but because this is the main rear of the Western Army, it often comes。

The general guarding the gate didn't say a word, and quickly cleared the road, almost without Yao Gu saying anything, he had easily entered Jingzhao Mansion, that is, Chang'an City.

After entering, it is still the same as other cities are full of people, it is the most lively time at noon, in the winter of February, the weather is still cold, but it has already made people look forward to a little taste of spring. Just like this dynasty, there are people everywhere, one after another, and it seems that the population of each city is quite large, and it seems that it is not much better than that of later generations.

The more I looked, Yu Rongdu's brows wrinkled more and more, no wonder there was such a Jingkang change, how many people died in the Central Plains of the Northland, first the Jurchens killed, killed for decades, and then the Mongols came to kill, killed and killed, how many Chinese atomic people died? For Zhou Tianteng, it was certainly the best ending in desperation, but for Yu Rongdu, who came through in later generations, this was a war crime, and if it could be stopped, it was natural to stop it, and even if it couldn't be stopped, it was necessary to try to reduce the number of dead people.

As for Zhou Tianteng, is there still a lack of innate spiritual roots of the great power of the heavens? The peach tree of the Queen Mother of the West, the laurel tree of Chang'e of the Moon Palace, and the ginseng fruit tree of Zhen Yuanzi, as for those other immortals, such as the Arctic Crape Myrtle Emperor, the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, the West Pole Emperor Emperor, and the Quartet Heavenly Emperor of the East Pole Qinghua Emperor, especially the East Pole Qinghua Emperor, there will be no shortage of innate spiritual roots, plundering the heavenly spiritual roots, isn't this the path that you have considered destined since you came to this world?

Yu Rongdu raised his head slightly, looking at the sky, but said silently, "Please take care of your spiritual roots, wait for me to ......"

Looking at Yao Gu and starting to arrange the inn, Yu Rongdu was riding on a horse outside the inn, silently watching them busy, and suddenly said to Yao Gu, "Lord Yao, you arrange it first, I will go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to see it first, you arrange your own affairs, I just go to see it alone, don't worry." ”

Zhu Tianjue saw that Yu Rongdu said that he was going to Ci'en Temple, and was about to step forward to follow, but Yu Rongdu said to him alone, "I can go by myself." ”

After saying that, he turned around and slowly rode away.

Zhu Tianjue stood there, but he didn't know what to say. But fortunately, Yao Gu didn't think about it so much, for him, the first priority was to take care of Yu Rongdu, so that the new Golden Gate Yuke Immortal Master was satisfied, and he himself would be able to get more benefits, so he hurriedly called a soldier, gave some instructions, and after leading the way for Yu Rongdu, he began to work the Blood Transformation Divine Sword and Zhu Tianjue, who were obviously closer to Yu Rongdu.

It's just that Zhu Tianjue, who touched a soft nail in Yu Rongdu, was not angry. Yao Gu saw that Zhu Tianjue with a pouting mouth became more and more cute, and couldn't help but laugh a few words, but he angered Zhu Tianjue, and was directly given in place by a fixation technique, and then entered the inn angrily, of course, this is a later story, and Yu Rongdu naturally will not know.

Looking at a dilapidated house, Yu Rongdu couldn't help but sigh a little, this is really a thing or a person, the vicissitudes of life, what a scenery the Great Ci'en Temple was back then.

According to historical records, Daci'en Temple was one of the four major translation factories in Chang'an, which was built by the prince Li Zhi during the Zhenguan period to mourn his biological mother, Empress Wende, who was the famous eldest grandson empress. The Great Ci'en Temple was the most famous and magnificent Buddhist temple in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty at that time, and was built by royal edict. Master Xuanzang of Tang Sanzang once presided over the temple affairs here, led the translation of Buddhist scriptures, and the big wild goose pagoda in the temple was built by him personally.

At that time, there were 13 courtyards and 1,000*17 houses in the building of Ci'en Temple, and there were statues in the heavy building and the palace, the cloud pavilion, the cicada room, and the statue, which was very spectacular. Among them, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is even more famous, completely adopts the Western Tianzhu shape system, a total of seven layers, the bottom of the tower is a square cone, there are exquisite line carved Buddha statues on the tower, there are relics in the center of the layers, or one thousand, two thousand, where more than 10,000 grains. On the day of the foundation laying of the tower, Master Xuanzang once stated his sincere wishes, briefly described his conversion to Buddhism, the reason for going to India to seek the Dharma, and the protection of Taizong's father and son, etc., and finally said: "But with the thin luck of the living soul, the total loss of the sky, but I am afraid that the Sanzang Sanskrit text is scattered and neglected, and the two holy astronomy are lonely, so I revere this tower, and intend to be an Sanskrit; In the process of building the tower, Zangshi "personally carried the grate and carried the bricks and stones". "Two weeks from the beginning to the end, the work is finished".

Now only this lonely Big Wild Goose Pagoda stays there, is it a pair of jackdaws flying by, hovering and landing on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Yu Rongdu slowly savored a passage recorded in later generations of the Benevolence Sect, "With Maitreya as the first ancestor, Asanga, Heavenly Relatives, Dharma Protectors and other Bodhisattvas have been carried forward one after another." Tang Zhixuanzang, who went to Central India to learn from the precepts and sages, was proficient in its law, and returned to China to translate and transmit it, which was a benevolent sect. Peeki, Huinuma, and Zhizhou, the successive successions, the discussion spread in Japan, and the advocates after the Song Dynasty gradually hoped ......"

The sentence "After the Song Dynasty, the advocates gradually Xi" exhausted the vicissitudes of history.

Looking at the area in front of you, which used to be the 13 courtyards of nearly 2,000 houses, the Great Ci'en Temple, now it is a completely dilapidated shantytown, it seems that the walls separated by those shantytowns can still vaguely see the magnificence where the original Great Ci'en Temple is located, but now it is just a gathering place for the poorest people, leaning on the broken walls, putting on a few logs and thatch has become a place where you can temporarily shelter, despite such a cold winter, many people still live like this.

How did the monks of Dazhen Daru be cruelly thrown here, and then adopted by the monks of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, but what about the monks of the Temple of Mercy and Grace?

Doesn't it mean that after Master Xuanzang traveled to the west, Buddhism Dachang, how did it fall to such a point today, and even the location of Master Xuanzang was so broken, what kind of situation is this?

Think about the whole Northern Song Dynasty actually admired Taoism unusually, and when it came to Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Taoism was established as the state religion, it is not difficult to see the downfall of Buddhism, what is the great prosperity, what is not the prosperity?

The short-lived period of Wu Zetian is also worthy of the great revival of Buddhism after the Journey to the West?

Riding a horse, looking at this dilapidated place, people who come and go are subconsciously far away from this dignitary, especially when he has a strong soldier behind them and can afford to provoke them.

Just when Yu Rongdu was thinking nonsense here, Yu Rongdu suddenly saw an elderly monk, wearing a shabby monk's robe and carrying a broken bag, but he was respectfully turning around in the alley not far away, facing the direction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, three steps and one kowtow, five steps and one pounce, the kind of reverence that completely threw himself into the ground, carried out his own ritual without discount, concentrated, and meticulous.

Although he was wrapped in a thick layer of linen cloth at his knees and elbows, he was still worn to tatters, and the forehead on top of his head was already a thick calloon.

Yu Rongdu looked at it like this, knowing that the old monk, when he arrived at the bottom of the tower, he circled around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda a few times, and then borrowed a broom from the side, gently swept away the cobwebs around him, and walked up to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda that had been sealed for I don't know how many years he had been dusty, and began to sweep the tower.

Yu Rongdu was also moved by this scene, but he dismounted silently, handed the horse to the soldier casually, walked towards the big wild goose pagoda with his hands together, and finally stood at the base of the tower, stretched out his hand, and gently placed it on the green bricks that had gone through hundreds of years, as if a Sanskrit song rushed to Yu Rongdu's mind through hundreds ......of years of dusty history.
