Fanchuan Buddhist Music is as famous as Baqiao Farewell, Qujiang Fenghe and Leyou Climbing High and are known as the four famous sceneries in Chang'an.
There are many Buddhist temples built in Shili Fanchuan between Shaolingyuan and Shenheyuan. Among them, Zen Sutra Temple, one of the eight major temples, has a lot of pilgrims because it is very effective in asking for fortune-telling and interpreting fortune-telling. Many faithful men and women came here because of its reputation, stayed in the Zen Sutra Temple for most of the day, made pious wishes, and then returned to Chang'an City before the city gate closed at sunset.
Zhao Xun and his party left Chang'an City and galloped all the way to the Zen Sutra Temple.
But they didn't come here just to ask for signatures and make wishes.
Zhao Xun had previously received reliable information that it was a monk in the Zen Sutra Temple who first discovered that the tomb of Princess Xuanhuai had been stolen. So Zhao Xun wanted to ask the monk first to see if he could get some useful information.
This method is obviously more reliable than blindly going to the tomb to collect evidence.
Zen Sutra Temple is one of the eight famous temples in Fanchuan, and its scale is naturally huge.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a palace.
Dougong, cornices, carved beams and painted buildings.
When Zhao Xun walked to the gate of Zen Sutra Temple, he saw a teenage novice monk sweeping the house. He stepped forward and clasped his hands together and said, "This little master is not talented but a bad person. He has been ordered to investigate and deal with Xuan Huai." The princess’s tomb was stolen. I heard that it was an eminent monk from your temple who was the first to discover that Princess Xuanhuai’s tomb had been stolen, so I came here to ask about it. I would also like to ask my little master to tell you something.”
"Amitabha, donor, please wait a moment."
The young novice saluted Zhao Xun, then turned around and entered the temple.
Zhao Xun and his party waited quietly outside the temple.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan was obviously very interested and looked around at the Zen Sutra Temple.
"Not to mention, this temple is really lavishly built."
"I didn't expect these monks to be so rich. They are so rich."
Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Three senior brothers don't know. The reason why Buddhism flourished in the Great Zhou Dynasty is inseparable from the national policy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The imperial court stipulated that temple land does not need to pay taxes. Those temples with strong incense only pay for sesame oil." It is equal to a year's taxes of ordinary states and counties. There is no place to spend so much money, so it is naturally used to expand the temple. Therefore, the temple gets bigger and bigger, and it has become the scale it is today. Many people cannot survive in disaster years. He became a monk and became a monk, but he was repeatedly banned from fleeing his country of residence. The root cause was profit."
Long Qingquan was stunned when he heard this and nodded lightly.
"Younger junior brother still knows the secrets of the court."
Zhao Xunxindao Jianghu Chaotang are two completely different fields.
Most people can only choose one or the other, and those who can thrive in both the court and the world at the same time are very rare.
Zheng Jie, the internal eunuch, counts as one, and Yuan Tiangang, the imperial eunuch, also counts as one.
The bad guy Feng Hao barely counts as half.
Zhao Xun couldn't think of anything else for the time being.
"Sixth Brother, aren't you proficient in Feng Shui and Kanyu? How is the Feng Shui here?"
Anyway, I was idle, so Zhao Xun took the initiative to chat and wanted to see if the Sixth Senior Brother was as good as the Third Senior Brother said.
Lu Guangdou frowned and did not respond directly. Instead, he took off the box and cage he was carrying and stretched his muscles.
"The person who is buried takes advantage of the Qi. The Qi will be dispersed by the wind and stop by the boundary water. The ancients gathered it so that it does not disperse and moves it to stop it. Therefore, it is called Feng Shui. The method of Feng Shui is to obtain water first and hide the wind second. .”
The sixth senior brother dropped his book bag and then asked Zhao Xun: "Little junior brother, do you know what Feng Shui Kanyu is?"
Zhao Xun's head shook like a rattle.
According to his character, if he knew about it, he would immediately jump out and show off.
However, there are specialties in the art, and the art of Feng Shui and Kanyu is indeed a blind spot in his knowledge.
"The so-called Feng Shui is the art of looking at the earth. The function of Feng Shui is to attract good luck and avoid evil. And Feng Shui is the collective name for the way of heaven and earth."
Zhao Xun was stunned when he heard this.
It turns out that Kanyu and Feng Shui do not mean the same thing.
Feng Shui is the art of looking at the earth, and Kanyu involves the way of heaven and earth, which should correspond to the astronomy and geography of later generations.
Zhao Xun saw Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou take out a black cloth package from the cage, untie it and take out a box.
Lu Guangdou carefully opened the box and took out something like a compass.
"This is Kanyu's three needles."
Lu Guangdou explained: "Kanyu's three needles are divided into straight needles, suture needles, and middle needles. The needles are wide on the body and narrow on the bottom, like a black fish."
"How to use it?"
Zhao Xun was very curious. He didn't understand the art of Kanyu at all, and his curious eyes flickered.
"The positive needle is yang, the sewing needle is yin, and the middle needle is the node of conflict and transition. Junior brother, look at the engraved lines on this compass."
Zhao Xun took a closer look and saw many fine graduation lines on the compass.
Lu Guangdou talked eloquently:
"The Bagua Palace refers to east, west, south and north with the Bagua name. Specifically, "Zhen' Palace rules the east, "Xun" Palace rules the southeast, "Li' Palace rules the south, "Kun" Palace rules the southwest, "Dui' Palace rules the west, The palace of "Qian" is in the northwest, the palace of "Kan" is in the north, and the palace of "Gen" is in the northeast. "
After finishing speaking, Lu Guangdou deliberately stopped to let Zhao Xun digest it. After Zhao Xun nodded and gave feedback, he continued:
“In addition to the eight palace directions, there are twenty-four mountain methods.
The twenty-four mountains are respectively A, Mao, and B; Chen, Xun, and Si; Bing, Wu, and Ding; Wei, Kun, and Shen; Geng, You, and Xin; Xu, Qian, and Hai; Ren, Zi, and Gui; Chou, and Gen, Yin.
Usually "Mao" represents the east, "Wu" represents the south, "You" represents the west, "Zi" represents the north, "Kun" represents the southwest, "Xun" represents the southeast, and "Qian" represents the northwest. , using "Gen' to represent Northeast."
These engraved lines are reflected on the compass. When using them, where the straight needle and sewing needle point, you can probably guess the feng shui. "
Damn, it’s so profound.
As expected, he is the number one scholar in his field.
Although Zhao Xun was considered by the mountain chief to be a Wenquxing star who was expected to achieve great success in literary studies, he was completely blind when it came to Kanyu Feng Shui. A layman could no longer be an outsider.
That's all, he won't compete with Sixth Senior Brother for food.
"When using it, you only need to bring out the true energy and attach it to the compass, and the mysterious needle will automatically point."
Damn it, it’s a fully automatic one, so advanced.
Zhao Xun's face was full of envy. If he could get a compass like this, not to mention the feng shui, he would be able to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages without any problem.
However, the Sixth Senior Brother obviously had no intention of offering it as a gift, so Zhao Xun could only swallow his saliva and stare.
"Would you like to give it a try?"
Lu Guangdou said calmly.
"In the land of Buddhism, it's better not to be rash."
Zhao Xun knew that practicing Feng Shui was taboo in a place like this.
If a bad conclusion is reached, they cannot afford to be blamed by the abbot of Zen Sutra Temple.
The most important thing is that Zhao Xun has something to ask for now, so it's better not to make any mistakes.
"That's fine."
Brother Six nodded, put the compass back into the box, wrapped it in layers of cloth and put it away.
