Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 413

Chang'an City, Chang'an County.

There is a Xiude square inside Fanglin gate, and there is a Hongfu temple in the square.

Ordinarily this remote location, and in the north of the city where dignitaries live together, Hongfu Temple has always been much more deserted than Xingshan Temple.

But as a load of sutras was transported into Hongfu Temple, a middle-aged bhikkhu wearing a Sangha hat, black clothes, and straw sandals walked into the temple with a Zen staff, and the Buddhist believers in Chang'an City boiled.

The monk named Xuanzang brought back 650 and seven Buddhist scriptures in Sanskrit.

Some of his deeds are also recorded in "Old Book of Tang Fang Ji".

There is no ambiguity in the word Fangju. "Fang" refers to people outside the square. Both have this word.

Xuanzang traveled for 17 years and traveled through more than a hundred countries in the Western Regions. The minister Xu Jingzong summoned fifty learned monks to the temple to help organize, translate and copy scriptures.

Among the monks and monks, there is Yuchi Hongdao, the nephew of Wei Chi Jingde, the Duke of E, and Yuchi Hongdao, the son of Chi Zong, the Duke of Jiangyou County, who became a monk at a young age because of his mother's early death. Later, he was honored as Master Ci'en by the world.

There is also Bianji, a monk of Huichang Temple in Jinchengfang, who mentioned that he did not get his dirty name because of "New Tang Book", but because Bianji assisted Xuanzang in writing "Da Tang Western Regions".

Li Shimin paid special attention to Xuanzang, not because of the subtlety of Buddhism, but because of the mountains and rivers he traveled through.

Who knows that the sword of the Tang Dynasty is pointing to the Western Regions?
Xuanzang was somewhat displeased that his travels had become the guide for the flames of war, but the emperor's order was hard to break, so he could only dictate it, but he refused to write "Da Tang Western Regions" by himself, so Bian Ji became the recorder.

Therefore, it is possible that Bian Ji was directly sent by the emperor's order.

In fact, before leaving the Western Regions, Xuanzang was famous all over Chang'an, and he was a monk and monk whom Popo valued.

He returned from learning Buddhist scriptures in 17 years, coupled with Xuanzang's reputation of studying Buddhism in Nalanda Temple in Tianzhu and his eloquence at the Wuzhe Conference in Qunvcheng, which made his reputation extremely prosperous.

Cough cough, the Uncovered Assembly is not the Uncovered Assembly that will break the law in later generations. It means a large fast meeting where no one can be shielded from noble or poor, monks or laity, wisdom or ignorance, good or evil. Tianzhu is currently presided over by King Jieri.

Fan Zheng saw with a headache that many residents of Dunhua Fang who claimed to not believe in Buddhism for a long time copied a handful of tooth incense from the incense shop, and followed them to Hongfu Temple to offer incense.

Ah, he, Xuanzang, didn't bring back the monkey, so why should he be so concerned?
It's not that it's too late to burn incense later, monk Xuanzang's life is still long.

Yes, the Buddha suppressed his loneliness. Once Xuanzang came back, the rising trend of Buddhism has been maintained for at least ten years.

Even if Li Chunfeng and others participate in the debate, this momentum cannot be reversed.

Time, potential, and fate.
-
Wo Yan, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites and Temple Department, appeared in the office of Sinong Temple with a mournful face.

"Shangguan, you have to help this subordinate no matter what..."

Wolong is too difficult.

With the return of Xuanzang, the power of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty suddenly expanded, and the number of temples increased sharply. Many Alanruo and Zhaoti wanted to take the opportunity to become a regular.

Alan Ruo is generally reasonable, after all, Lan Ruo is in a quiet place, in the wilderness, mainly doing ascetic practice, incense is scarce, and monks have to manage farming.

Recruitment, huh, mostly with a powerful background, the purpose of setting up a temple is not to worship Buddha, but to make money is the first priority.

There is no shortage of real practitioners in Buddhism, but more of them are fake, or even consecrated people everywhere. How can their reputation not be bad?

This is also a paradox.

Not only Buddhism, but any faction must be inclusive if it wants to flourish.

Strictly abide by the precepts, you can't do much;

Relax the precepts, practice hard, and finally become a demon in the mouth of others, and you haven't reasoned yet.

For example, Taoist sects are so quiet, after the incident of the Yellow Turban, they practiced quietly, and they had nothing to do to blow up two furnaces of pills. Even if there are powerful people like Fu Renjun coming out to fight for it, it is generally more resigned.

It's broken, believe it or not, the Taoist master first made a furnace of alchemy.

"Please add more temples in more than [-] prefectures, and there are hundreds of recruitment lists!"

Wo Chu beat his chest and stamped his feet.

The supervisor Wolong on the east side of Jingyuan is not used to this fellow clan: "Hehe, isn't this a matter for your Ministry of Rites? If you have an idea, why don't you ask the minister or minister?"

Wo Yan gave him a sideways look: "Who cares about your yamen, Yeye only recognizes Fan Shaoqing!"

"Dog thing, I don't want any seniority, who will I be for?"

Fan Zheng just laughed, and had no intention of stopping the two clansmen from bickering.

Some fights are just fights, and some fights are fists and kicks.

Wo Long's fight, in fact, secretly told Fan Zheng that they have a very close relationship, and if possible, please take care of them.

Guo Jing's Bingzhou-style tea soup was served, so sour that Wo Chi grinned.

"You don't need money to co-author Sinong Temple's jealousy!"

Fan Zheng smiled lightly: "I really don't need money. You also know that Jiayue is a good brewer, and occasionally the wine that goes bad becomes vinegar, so you can use it?"

This is of course a joke. Wine and vinegar can be regarded as the same origin, but the craftsmanship has long been very different.

Fan Zheng laughed and said, "Actually, documents issued by more than thirty prefectures are really not worth mentioning."

Wo Yan took a sip of the sour tea soup, recalling Fan Zheng's words carefully, with a smile on his face.

Yes, the number of documents is too small, which shows that the Tang Dynasty does not need to increase the number of temples.

Try more than a hundred documents, just to let the Emperor Zhenguan see that Buddhism is threatening.

Do you really think forcing the palace is useful?

The local government is forcing the court, do you want to rebel?
Wo Chan was well versed in the ways of the world, so when Fan Zheng went back to Dunhuafang, he saw a gift from Wo Chan in General Dingyuan's mansion.

It is bigger than a sheep and smaller than a cow, with a head like a sheep, horns like a deer, hoofs like a cow, and a tail like a donkey. It has yellow and white fur, but it is a dead thing.

"Is this the four alike?"

Well, in "Fengshen Yanyi", the prototype of Jiang Ziya's four different mounts is here.

This thing is called Qinling takin in later generations. It belongs to the genus of cattle. The adult takin weighs more than [-] catties. The coat color changes with age.

Although a vegetarian, the Qinling takin has a very violent temper and will sometimes attack people, especially when it is alone.

In later generations, they are protected animals, but unfortunately they are not now.

Not to mention that it is not a labor force for farming. In this era, it is not even a cow. It is generally called "White Sheep" and "Yangzi". It is spread all over the Qinling Mountains.

"This is the white sheep of South Wutai Mountain. It almost carried a baby, so I had to kill it and give it to Shi Lang to try."

Wo Yan's words were really sweet, and of course Fan Zheng couldn't refuse.

The point is, Fan Baili and Lu Feijia were drooling.

Two snacks!
