Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 4

Again and again, and again and again, the clay figurines also have a three-pointed temper!

"Hey, it turns out that the Buddhist gate was opened by your family! Then I really dare not enter, for fear of dying of nausea."

After finishing speaking, Fan Zheng regretted it.

This stinky mouth is used to scolding people in Dunhuafang, so there is no one to control the door.

Xiao Yu was furious, and pointed at Fan Zheng with his halberd. His breathing became heavy and his face was flushed. It took him a long time to put down his fingers, and sat down with a muffled grunt.

Ugly temper is ugly, Xiao Yu would not be resolute because of such a trivial matter, after all, he took the initiative to provoke.

Besides, have you ever seen an elephant have to trample an ant to death?

It's strange to say that even in the court hall, servant Fang Xuanling had to tolerate him, which made him more and more angry;
Fan Zheng said a few words, but let him tolerate it.

It can be seen that this person just can't get used to it.

Xiao Yu is not a bad person, but his virtue of relying on the old and selling the old is annoying, otherwise he wouldn't be dismissed three times.

"Amitabha, with the root of layman's wisdom, practicing at home will surely achieve positive results." Bo Po took the rough pottery tea bowl and took a sip. "The Buddha's gatha, ordinary monks can't compose it, Xu Tuohuan is hopeful."

The master of Popo Temple is too polite. Few Buddhist disciples can compose the Buddhist gatha of Huineng, the sixth patriarch of Zen.

Fan Zheng relied on the fact that Huineng was still young and not famous at the moment, and he stole his future words.

Of course, the most famous "Bodhi has no tree" did not dare to say, the realm is too high to bear.

Xu Tuo Huan, Si Tuo Han, Ana Han, Arhat, are the four Arhats in practice.

Xu Tuo Huan, commonly known as the one fruit Arhat, has cut off the six senses, has not yet consummated life and death, and has to go through reincarnation in the world of mortals, but has already awakened part of his wisdom.

Only Xu Tuohuan is a rare existence in Buddhism.

Few people in the world can refute this praise from Daxingshan Temple, the ancestral home of Tantric Buddhism in the Central Plains. Even Xiao Yu, who is full of opinions, can only hum.

"The layman can still say some Buddhist verses and allusions at will?"

Bo Po intentionally raised Fan Zheng.

Looking at Fan Zheng's plain clothes, one could tell his social status, and he didn't have a chance to get in touch with Buddhism that was too deep.

Fan Zheng smiled: "The master of the temple thinks highly of it, but the villain speaks nonsense. It is said that the monk and the layman are friends, and they sit and talk with each other. The layman asks the monk: 'What do you think of me?' The monk answers: 'I am a Buddha.'"

"The common man laughs: 'I regard monks as cow dung.'"

Xiao Yu couldn't help but interjected: "It's unreasonable! If you insult the monk so much, you will live in (Tongue Pulling Hell) right now!"

Bopo smiled like a spring breeze, and looked at Fan Zheng compassionately.

Fan Zheng said: "Later, there was a person who couldn't listen anymore, and said on the spot: 'The master regards you as a Buddha, because he only has Buddha in his heart; you regard the master as cow dung, because you only have cow dung in his heart.'"

Xiao Yu was so choked that he couldn't answer.

According to his temperament of relying on the old and selling the old, aren't other people just cow dung in his eyes?

This is pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man!
Xuanmo praised: "Sure enough, it has profound Buddhist principles. But I have to ask the layman's name."

Fan Zheng's power and wealth are not dominant, and if he has nothing in his stomach, he can only be an ordinary pilgrim. Of course, there is no need to ask for his name, and he may not be able to remember it if he knows it.

"The villain Fan Zheng, Dunhuafang Fangzheng, came to Daxingshan Temple to... ask your monastery to allow Dunhuafang to come to Jingshanfang to sell letter incense. Because Dunhuafang needs a lot of money, marriage and childbirth, epidemic prevention, and helping orphans and old people. "

Xiao Yu instinctively opened his mouth to spray, but fell silent after hearing it.

He just has a bad temper, not ignorant of worldly affairs.

What Fan Zheng said, many front-end workshops can't do it, but the last Dunhua workshop dares to think about it!

Yes, at least people dare to think about it.

At this time in Chang'an City, not many dare to think about Lifang like this.

Bo Po glanced at Xuan Mo: "Duvina arrange it."

When Xuan Mo sent Fan Zheng out of Jingshanfang, he attracted many surprised looks.

That is Duvina, a high-ranking and powerful figure in the temple!
Buddhism advocates the equality of all living beings precisely because all living beings are not equal.

When Fan Zheng turned to bid farewell, he couldn't help but reminded: "Bopo Monastery Master and Xuanmoduwena, please break up with Monk Falin as soon as possible, so as not to be implicated."

Xuan Mo frowned slightly, not knowing where to start with this.

"On Debate."

In the fourth year of Wude, Tai Shi ordered Fu Yi to play "Please Abolish the Buddhist Dharma Table", requesting the abolition of Buddhism.

In the seventh year of Wude, Fu Yi published "Please Eliminate Buddhism" again, advocating the prohibition of Buddhism.

In this context, Falin wrote eight volumes and twelve chapters of "Dianzhenglun" in order to create a theory.

Because Falin himself has a wide range of books and beautiful words, and his book was popular for a while and was recited by scholars, it also had a great influence on the style of writing in the early Tang Dynasty.

Falin used to refer to Du Ruhui's collection of books, so historical facts are widely cited in the book, and of course there are many unofficial histories.

So far, everything works fine.

However, the Tang Dynasty cited Lao Tzu Li Er as the ancestor, and Falin verified that the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty were actually from the Tuoba family in the Yuan and Wei Dynasties.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, this textual research is trying to kill. As long as someone criticizes it, this is Falin's deathbed.

Probably, Farin didn't know what mosquito meat was.

Not to mention Falin's misfortune, the master of Popo Temple and other translators also moved to Shengguang Temple, and later they were forced to stop translating scriptures.

There is no evidence to prove that Popo and others were influenced by Falin, but no one dared to say that it was not Falin's factor.

……

The men and women in Dunhuafang were not very excited when they heard that Fan Zheng wanted to call on middle-aged men and women to make incense.

But when they heard that Daxingshan Temple allowed them to sell incense, they immediately burst into smiles.

Daxingshan Temple is very popular, and the money it can sell every day is enough to make life easier for Dunhuafang.

"It needs to be explained that basically no money will be distributed this year. You can get the wages of the helpers at most. The money will only be distributed next year."

Hey, there are too many places that ask for money.

"If you don't serve, you will be hired as a servant, three feet (silk) per day."

This is the standard set by the imperial court, and it is basically the salary level of domestic servants.

A piece of silk is about 480 Wen, one piece is [-] feet, and three feet is about [-] Wen. The wages also fluctuate within [-] Wen.

The material is very simple, bamboo sticks are used as bones, dyed uniformly, and elm bark water is used as glue.

As for the recipe, Fan Zheng chose Yaxiang, agarwood, styrax, borneol, white sandalwood, carapace, musk, and sawdust.

This formula fits this era.

Ten thousand sticks of incense cost two hundred cash;
Ten thousand bamboo sticks cost 120 Wen.

But [-] sticks of incense are usually sold for money.

This is huge profits, and it is also the reason why ordinary people are willing to make incense at home.

With that much wasted money, wouldn’t it be nice to buy a few pieces of meat?

"It needs to be said that since it is making incense, everyone should abide by the rules. If the Buddhists don't like meat, try not to eat meat when making incense."

Buddhism does not prohibit lay people from eating meat, and even monks are allowed to eat meat when they are sick.

But, bears, tigers, lions, wolves, turtles and other meat are forbidden in Buddhism, including believers.

"Look at what Fangzheng said, even if we want to eat, we don't have the ability."

There is a cheerful atmosphere in the workshop.
