China has its own customs all over the country, but no matter where you go, eating, a seemingly simple thing, is always the best way to harmonize the atmosphere.
At the banquet, Dongfang Chunsheng was sweating profusely after a good meal. He twisted his breathless nose and asked gently, "Little host, where did you come from and where are you going?"
"Back to Dongfang Senior, the young monk came from the White Horse Temple in Luoyang and was specially ordered to preach in the north. Two months ago, Gongsun, a wealthy family in Zhangwu County in the north of the Lingyuan Mountains, was mourning and ordered a three-month closure of the city. The young monk was unable to continue to preach. He went to the north and settled here. A few months ago, there were some wanderers who had nowhere to live. As the weather suddenly turned cold, they left one after another, and now only the young monk is left." He answered respectfully with his glazed eyes.
"Oh? The city is closed for mourning? Hum, this Gongsun family is so arrogant! It seems that this is another Lingyuan Liu family." When it comes to the family, Dongfang Chunsheng's words are cold. In his heart, The world is as dark as crows. After he mocked him, he became gentle again, "Don't mention this, kid, is your master the old monk of Yichan?"
"Senior, that's right!" Seeing that he might be an old friend of the master, he became more respectful.
Dongfang Chunsheng pursed his lips and laughed loudly, "Haha! When it comes to etiquette, you are much better than your master! Five years ago, when the Confucian Holy Land Xianda Academy was divided, I happened to meet that old monk. , he went north alone and scolded Su Yu, the master of Xianda Academy, so bloody that Su Yu almost died of depression. Hahaha."
"Grandpa Dongfang, who is this Zen master?"
Although there was not much emphasis here, Liu Yi still abided by the rule of not saying anything when eating, hurriedly swallowed the food, and asked Dongfang Chunsheng with curious eyes.
"Brother Yi, Master Yichan is an eminent monk in the realm of Tiandong. There are four famous Buddhist temples in the world, Baima, Jinchan, Hanfeng, and Jiafu. Baima Temple is second to none, and the presiding officer of Baima Temple in Luoyang has always been the leader of Liangyi School. A doctor of imperial Buddhism, Master Yizen was even revered as a national teacher by the emperor. He is a very famous figure. The Karma Staff in Master Yizen’s hand ranks 19th in the world’s weapon list! I heard that Master Yizen is a generous man and often does many things. In the Buddha world, he cultivates good relationships and punishes evil people. He claims to kill himself and become a Buddha with the staff in his hand. He is an amazing old man!" Dongfang Yu rushed to explain to Liu Yi. Whenever he mentioned the story of Jianghu, she always said Face excited.
Liu Yi lives in a small corner of Lingyuan and doesn't know much about such affairs. At this moment, he listened attentively.
The dead man gnawed on a frozen pear and sighed repeatedly, "I have long heard of the name of White Horse Temple as 'Zhongzhou Good Land, White Horse Carrying Sutra'. I didn't expect Master Yichan to be so fierce. My eldest brother Sai Beili has a soft sword in his sleeve. , it is only ranked thirty-sixth in the martial arts weapon spectrum, sizzling, martial arts masters are constantly iterating, it’s too dangerous!”
"It's really not easy to talk about the White Horse Temple. The White Horse Temple is located in the land of Dongtu, the state of Zhou, Confucius, Lao and Zhuang, on the bank of the Luo River. It was built in the eleventh year of Yongping (68 AD). It is The first temple built by the ascetics after entering the Han Dynasty was the ancestral court and source of Buddhism for the ascetics in the Han Dynasty. In the temple, the three pavilions of Faguang Pavilion, Zangjing Pavilion and Si Chan Pavilion stand side by side. Fuyun Pagoda and Qiyun Pagoda complement each other, and there are countless small temples. , it is said that countless eminent monks became Buddhas here, and it is actually a sacred place for Buddhism in China. Not only that, Baima Temple has a close relationship with the Han Dynasty, and it is a national temple. Baima Temple emphasizes that 'the four major elements, the five aggregates, and all dharmas are empty' ’, he has countless disciples, ranking first among the four famous temples in the empire. Well, this is a good place, and the things he does are much brighter than those of these gangs."
Xia Qing continued speaking slowly to Death Shichen, and at the end she didn't forget to give Death Shichen a sarcastic comment.
When Yi Xian heard the praise from everyone, he straightened his waist and was extremely proud.
"Oh! I remember. When I was studying in school, I seemed to have read in a book that at first the ascetics were not familiar with the world. It was because of the Han people's idea of 'the body is born, and the skin is received by the parents', that they recited the subtle words of Huang Lao , the Ren Temple of Shangfu Tu, that's all. After the Yellow Turban chaos and the coexistence of the Three Kingdoms, some people felt world-weary, and some people looked forward to transforming the world with Buddha, so Buddhism proliferated in the Han Dynasty. After the former emperor unified the country, the Han Chinese Zhu Shixing According to the "Karma Law", after being ordained and ordained, and kneeling in front of the Buddha's lamp, the rigid Confucian theory of "the body's hair and skin are received by the parents" was completely broken. According to my father, in recent years, the royal family has supported hundreds of schools of thought. Buddhism gradually flourished in the empire and has become one of the three religions alongside Confucianism and Taoism."
Liu Yi was also a little excited as he gnawed on the frozen pear.
Xiao Yixian pursed his lips and said arrogantly, "It's good that you know. But it's not entirely accurate."
Liu Yi couldn't think of anything wrong at the moment, so he tried to change the subject and said with a grin, "But, little bald head, you chose the name of Wanfoshan in a very stylish way!"
"Yi'er, starting from tomorrow, you must continue to study hard according to your father's requirements. At the same time, you can learn martial arts from your uncle Chen. We also need culture to open a wine shop, right?"
Seeing that Liu Yi was a little unfamiliar and had forgotten the rules, Dongfang Chunsheng had a serious look on his face and lost no time in hitting Liu Yi. In his opinion, a good seedling cannot be ruined like this.
"I obey Grandpa Dongfang's order!" As a smart man, Liu Yi understood immediately after hearing it, and quickly stood up to respond. At the same time, he turned sideways and said apologetically to Yi Xian, "Little bald man, I was wrong about what happened today. I'm sorry!"
The boy did not have an overnight feud. The meal just now was the joint effort of Yi Xian and Liu Yi. In fact, the two of them had already settled their differences. Liu Yi was saving face for Yi Xian in front of everyone, which showed that Liu Yi was experienced and flawless in his work.
After Liu Yi finished speaking, he blushed and became embarrassed. He showed a satisfied look on his face and hurriedly gave in, "Come on, come on, eat pears, eat pears!"
"Yichen, this old man, actually let this child wander the world alone. He is really a big-hearted guy. Xiao Yixian, how many Taoist teachings and temples did you build along the way north?" Dongfang Chunsheng rubbed the wrinkles on his forehead. , handed his pear to Dongfang Yu and asked softly.
After polishing it slightly, he respectfully replied, "Returning to my predecessors, before leaving, the master once gave me a message, which is, 'I don't want temples to be built in Kyushu or tree pagodas in the Five Mountains, but I want Buddha's fingers in Cangshan Mountain and good autumn in the world.' The young monk is convinced of this. , since leaving Luoyang, he has preached and preached all the way, and he has also done some good deeds. The young monk has stayed in this Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple for the longest time, and he has also converted some people and figured out some things. In the past few days, look at the careless Trees, racing horses, flying eagles, incense and fire are all the signs of Buddha. I felt it in my heart, so I named this mountain Ten Thousand Buddhas Mountain."
Although there is no Buddha here, if there is a Buddha in your heart, you are a Buddha!
There was a long fire in the house, and Yi Xian looked out the window at the stars, his eyes filled with stars.
"Haha! You little bald head actually has a Buddha's heart. This world has not been this interesting for a long, long time! It has also not been as chaotic as it is now for a long, long time! My original intention was to go north the next day to find the bad luck of the Gongsun family. , but thanks to Xiao Yixian’s hospitality, I am determined to accompany you to rest here for a few days, and let’s have a lively New Year’s Eve together!” Dongfang Chunsheng laughed loudly.
Everyone was so interested that they all obeyed!
Soon after the meal, everyone went to bed. Liu Yi, Yi Xian and two big yellow dogs lived in the main hall, Grandpa Dongfang and his grandson lived in one room, and Xia Qing, Shi Chen and Yi Xian's big torii lived in another room.
Before going to bed, Liu Yi worked tirelessly to pile firewood into the stoves of the two side rooms and closed the doors. Just when Dongfang Chunsheng was standing at the door of the side room looking at him, he ran to the side room with a jolt. In front of the old man, he asked with a questioning look on his face, "Grandpa Dongfang, what are they talking about about the martial arts spectrum of Jianghu?"
Seeing that Liu Yi was so eager to learn, Dongfang Chunsheng was very relieved and patiently explained to Liu Yi, "The weapons of the rivers and lakes are based on the weapons and magic weapons of the rivers and lakes that people in the rivers and lakes know according to the Han, Daqin, the countries in the north and south of the Western Regions, and the Piao Yue countries. Their power is ranked in a ranking, including fifty of the best weapons in the world. However, in the vast world, there are so many hermits and gods in the mountains, who knows who will have a shocking magic weapon in their hands. ?Ha ha."
Liu Yi smiled innocently, stepped forward to hold Dongfang Chunsheng's arm, and asked, "Grandpa, if you get these fifty weapons, will you be able to rank among the top fifty masters in the world?"
Dongfang Chunsheng laughed, "No, no, weapons are weapons, and people are people. Some people take unparalleled treasures, but they can't exert their effects. Some people twist rough branches and leaves, but they can make unparalleled magic weapons. Whether you are a master in the world depends on your execution. The swordsman’s own cultivation level.”
Dongfang Chunsheng didn't explain it clearly, but Liu Yi, who was extremely smart, realized it and asked persistently, "What is the number one weapon?"
"The sword of the Emperor of Han Dynasty, Tun Hong!"
After saying that, Dongfang Chunsheng smiled and patted Liu Yi on the head, closed the door and put out the oil lamp.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Why don't you give Brother Yi a good explanation?" Dongfang Yu was angry and took up the injustice for his brother Yi.
There is something in Dongfang Chunsheng's words, "It's not his, so why bother talking about it? If it's his, why bother talking about it again? This kid has no ambitions right now. What he needs most is not to instill knowledge, but to help him set up ambitions. As for what he will do in the future. It is up to him to choose whether to be the general and minister of the empire or to be a common man in the market."
...
For some reason, Liu Yi couldn't sleep after hearing Dongfang Chunsheng's speech. Tossing and turning, he wrapped himself in his tiger fur and looked at the stars and comets in the night sky. He thought of the people and things in Lingyuan, and the love and love in the mountains. Righteous, I was filled with emotion for a while.
Finally, he thought of the peerless magic weapon 'Tunhong' that Dongfang Chunsheng said, and a ray of restlessness suddenly arose in his heart. It was an unfathomable yearning for beautiful things. Seeing him smiling foolishly and twitching his fingers gently, He said to himself, "Swallow the Hong Sword, swallow the Hong Sword, swallow the world with anger, and sweep the Hong Meng with the sword?"
