Cao Thief

Chapter 276 Spelling 'Teacher' in the Right Way (44)

In the late spring night, there was a trace of restlessness.

In this season of germination of all things, people walk on Jianyangmen Street, and flags and streamers can be seen everywhere on the street.At Zhengxu time, it was already dark.The shops on both sides of the street are brightly lit, making the night of this ancient capital reveal infinite vitality.

Cao Peng didn't ride Zhao Yebai, but sat in an ox cart.

With the hood open, the night breeze blows.

Sitting in the car, I don't feel bored.

Xia Houlan followed on horseback, and a Fei Yan drove a car, followed Shi A, along the long avenue, and the scenery on both sides was in full view.

Cao Peng sat in the car, but he was also leisurely.

--------------------------------

Jingangya Temple sounds very strange.

But if you mention another name of its later generations, people may be familiar with it: White Horse Temple!White Horse Temple is one of the earliest three Buddhist temples in Chinese history.Donglin Temple in Xingyang, Xiangshan Temple in Longmen, and the White Horse Temple.However, Baima Temple was originally named King Kong Cliff, which means King Kong's habitat.

According to legend, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty slept in the South Palace at night, and dreamed that the golden god would emit white light from his head and fly around the palace.The next day, I learned that the Golden God in the dream was extremely Buddhist King Kong, so I sent envoys Cai Yin, Qin Jing and others to the Western Regions to seek Buddhism.Buddhism at this time, also known as Buddha religion, had spread to the Central Plains as early as the Western Han Dynasty, but it was not accepted by many people.However, in the Western Regions, many countries regard Buddhism as the state religion.

For example, Wusun, Shule, Qiuci, and Buddha governed the country.

Cai and Qin met the Indian monks Gash Moteng (a Shemoteng) and Zhu Falan in Yueshi.So he invited these two people to Luoyang to preach Buddhism.This is also the most famous story of "Seeking the Dharma in Yongping" in the history of Buddhism.But after all, it is a record in the history of Buddhism, and no one can say for sure.Anyway, it was Gash Moten and Zhu Falan who came, and after preaching the Dharma to Liu Zhuang, Emperor Han Ming ordered to imitate the style of Tianzhu Temple, and choose a site between Beiman Mountain and Luoshui to build a temple.

Initially, the White Horse Temple existed in the name of an official office, governing all the monks who went to the Central Plains to teach the Dharma.

If you want to spread the Dharma, you must have the certificate of the White Horse Temple, otherwise you will not be protected by the court, and may even be regarded as a cult by the government.

The presiding officer of the White Horse Temple, worshiping the Minister of the White Horse Temple, is not in the rank of the imperial court, but will receive a monthly salary.

Gash Moten and Zhu Falan were in Baima Temple...it was originally called Jingangya Temple. After they settled down, they painstakingly compiled the "42 Chapters", making it the first scripture translated into Chinese that was handed down to China. After the compilation of "42 Chapters" was completed, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty changed Jingangya Temple to White Horse Temple on the pretext that the white horse carried Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues were meritorious.However, many people are still accustomed to call it Jingangya Temple.

In his previous life, Cao Peng also visited the White Horse Temple.

But to be honest, apart from seeing a bunch of people paying for incense, I didn't understand any profound Buddhist teachings.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, affected by the war, Baima Temple was no longer under the rule of the imperial court, and became an independent Buddhist temple.There are people who believe in Buddhism, especially after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, many Luoyang people began to believe in Buddhism, became Buddhist believers, and worshiped their family property.

Therefore, the White Horse Temple was not greatly affected by the war, but became more and more prosperous.

When Cao Peng arrived at the White Horse Temple, Shi A had been waiting outside the temple for a long time.As soon as he saw Cao Peng, he immediately came forward enthusiastically, "My lord, why are you here at this time?"

"Admiring the night view on the road, I came late, don't blame Daxia Shi."

"My lord, you're being polite... I just happened to have a few good friends here today, and after hearing about your name, they also want to pay a visit. Shi A took the liberty to call the shots, and I hope you will be happy."

On the way to Baima Temple, Cao Peng had already thought of this result, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He smiled slightly, "Daxia Shi, you are being polite!"

What Zhu Zan said is not wrong, if he wants to seek fame now, he must pay attention to every word and deed.

Shi A is a man of quackery.

So when dealing with him, one must be cautious.

Not too intimate, not too distant.There is a 'speed' grasp in it, but generally speaking, Cao Peng's grasp is not bad.

Shi A laughed heartily, pulled Cao Peng, and strode into the temple.

In later generations, the White Horse Temple has many scenic spots.For example, the tomb of the second monk, Qiyun Pagoda, Qingliangtai and other scenery... But in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, these scenery had not yet appeared.The tomb of the second monk is just two tombs, with two stone tablets erected in front of the tomb, which looks simple and simple.

Cao Peng and Shi A boarded a high platform about six meters high, with rammed earth slabs at the bottom and bluestone on the top.

In later generations, this high platform was named Qingliangtai, which is the most famous scenery of Baima Temple, and it is also called "air garden".

But now, the sky courtyard is only a prototype. On a high platform of about 130 square meters, there are pavilions with double eaves and mountains.

According to later generations, this place used to be the place where Liu Zhuang studied and escaped the summer when he was young, and later changed it to the place where he translated scriptures.

But Cao Peng generally didn't believe it... According to Shi A, the scripture translation platform was clearly built after Gash Moten and Zhu Fran came to Luoyang.At that time, Liu Zhuang had already ascended the throne... Presumably Buddhism compiled such a story in order to highlight its own magnificence.In fact, such lies can be seen everywhere in Buddhist scriptures, and they are deliberately passed down by religions in order to win believers.

Cao Peng was an atheist in his previous life.

He neither opposes nor rejects religion.

Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, including Christianity, he doesn't have much ill feeling.

After rebirth, especially when he learned that he had an awesome master teacher, Cao Peng unknowingly became more inclined towards Taoism.

In the attic, the windows on all sides are open, and seven or eight people are already sitting inside.

"Brother Shi, why are you here now?"

Seeing Shi A walking in, a rough-looking man laughed and got up immediately.

Shi Adao: "Brother Zhu, let me introduce you... this is Cao Babai, Mr. Cao Peng, the author of "Humble Room Inscription" and "Eight Hundred Characters".

Cao Babai?
Cao Peng was startled when he heard this.

The rough man had already stepped forward, upon hearing Shi A's introduction, he slightly bowed his hands as a salute.

"Brother Shi, you came just in time.

I lost badly in your gambling house yesterday, since you are here today, Zhu must spend a lot of money on you, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart. "

Looking at him like this, it seems that he doesn't take Cao Peng seriously.

Cao Peng didn't care either, and at the same time, he was secretly satisfied with Shi A's introduction just now.

He didn't introduce himself as the behind-the-scenes boss of Shengshi Casino, which shows that Shi A is a person who knows how to measure.A person who knows how to advance and retreat, and who knows how to measure, can always make people feel good.If Cao Peng was polite to Shi A before, it was because Cao Zhen introduced Shi A, and this guy’s teacher was Wang Yue, the number one swordsman in the world, the swordsmanship instructor of Emperor Ling of Han; Cao Pi's swordsmanship teacher, so Cao Peng had to respect him.So now, Shi A's decent and sensible, made Cao Peng have a good impression.No wonder the eldest brother recommended Shi A at that time, this person is really a winking guy...

"This person's name is Zhu Dao, and he is a famous local snake in Luoyang.

His ancestral home is in Luoyang, and he is a good swordsman, and his family has a lot of property, so he has some influence in Luoyang. "

Congratulations?

never heard of that!

Cao Peng scratched his nose, expressing that he knew.

Shi A didn't say any more, but brought Cao Peng to introduce him to everyone in the pavilion.

Xuanshuo, the current Minister of White Horse Temple, is originally surnamed Yuan.

When Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, he took away the White Horse Siqing with him.In the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, and Li Jue and Guo Si besieged Chang'an, causing chaos in Chang'an.Xuan Shuo returned to Luoyang with the seal of the former Minister of the White Horse Temple, took over the White Horse Temple, and became a new generation of Minister of the White Horse Temple.However, he, the White Horse Temple Minister, is self-appointed and has not been recognized by the court...

Thinking about it, the court was in chaos at that time, and the little emperor could not protect himself. Who would have the leisure to pay attention to the White Horse Temple Minister?
At that time, the White Horse Temple was dilapidated, and no one was willing to take care of it.

Since this Yuan Xuanshuo was willing to serve as Minister of the White Horse Temple, naturally no one objected.

In a flash, seven years.

The White Horse Temple has grown many times more prosperous than before, and people gradually recognized Xuan Shuo.

At the same time, Xuan Shuo is talented and knowledgeable, and also plays the piano and chess.During the seven years in Luoyang, he made many friends and gradually gained a firm foothold.

After listening to Shi A's introduction, Xuan Shuo hurriedly saluted.

"It turned out that Cao Babai was in person."

Cao Babai again?
At this time, Cao Peng had already realized what Cao Babai meant.

Presumably it was taken from the 'Eight Hundred Characters', just like the nature of Cai Yong being called Cai Feibai.Cai Yong is famous all over the world for his Feibai book, so he respects his Feibai as an elegant name.Cao Babai is also for the same reason. This title also represents a kind of recognition of Cao Peng by the people of the world.The title of Cao Babai began before Qingming.At that time, Cao Peng was busy traveling, so he didn't pay attention to the address of the outside world.

It's just that the name 'Cao Babai' is really ugly...

But this kind of thing is not something that Cao Peng can decide, so he can only smile bitterly in his heart and approve of the name.

"This is Zhang Liang and Zhang Yuan'an, Mr. Zhang."

Shi A pointed to a young man and continued to recommend Cao Peng.

Zhang Liang?

Isn't that the leader of Taipingdao?

This guy really dared to come up with the same name as the traitor.

He was tall and well built.About 180 centimeters in length, Kong Wu is powerful and looks heroic.

"I have been taught by Mr. Pang Yuan'an from Jingzhou. I never thought that I would meet another Yuan'an today. It seems that I have a predestined relationship with this man named Yuan'an."

Zhang Liang was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

Pang Yuan'an is Pang Ji, Pang Tong's father.

Unexpectedly, Cao Peng compared himself with world-famous celebrities, and Zhang Liang's favor for Cao Peng immediately doubled.

"This younger brother from the Yuan'an family is named Zhang Tai and styled Ziyu. Mr. Cao, Mr. Zhang is a disciple of Mr. Du Kui. He is good at rhythm and is a close friend of Mr. Xuanshuo."

Zhang Tai was born with weak literary skills.

With a look of arrogance on his face, he bowed to Cao Peng.

"I heard that Cao Babai has outstanding knowledge and literary talents, but who is his teacher?"

Damn, fight the teacher?

Cao Peng cupped his hands slightly, with a humble expression on his face, "I have little talent and learning, and I have not yet been taught by a famous teacher. Because of this, Cao Sikong recommended me to go to Luhun Mountain and worship Mr. Hu Zhao and Hu Kongming as my teacher. This time, I passed Luoyang , It is to go to Luhun Mountain to learn from the teacher."

If he didn't know about Hu Zhao's situation, Cao Peng might not have said that.

But he had inquired, and Hu Zhaona was as famous as Zhong Yao, Handan Chun, Wei Ji and others.Handan Chun, Cao Peng doesn't know very well, but Wei Ji, who is now guarding Guanzhong, is a celebrity today.As for Zhong Yao, it's even more remarkable, regardless of his birth, reputation or family background, few people can compare him.Since Hu Zhao is as famous as these people, it is conceivable that his reputation is definitely among the best.

It's not that Du Kui's talents and learning are shallow.

Du Kui was a native of Yingchuan. He was an official who worshiped Yalelang and resigned due to illness in the fifth year of Zhongping.

After the war broke out, Du Kui fled to Jingxiang and lived under Liu Biao's tent.Therefore, in terms of fame, Du Kui and Hu Zhao are clearly two-level figures.

One day, one place, completely different.

Zhang Tai regarded himself as Du Kui's disciple, and he was complacent, rather defiant.

Unexpectedly, Cao Peng's words choked him half to death.

Hu Zhaoyin lived in Luhunshan, established an academy, and taught Luhunshan's [-]-li disciples.But in fact, there are very few people who can be included in Hu Zhaomen's wall.

Just like in many fantasy novels, there is a distinction between outer disciples and core disciples.

Most of the students in the academy are Hu Zhao's outer disciples, but it is more difficult to become Hu Zhao's direct disciple than ascending to the sky.

Cao Peng was ordered by Cao Cao to study under Hu Zhao, so it is absolutely impossible for him to be an outer disciple, he must be a direct disciple.Otherwise, it is impossible to bother Cao Cao to come forward.

Zhang Tai's face suddenly turned red.

The coward didn't know how to answer.

Cao Peng's words were clearly a warning to him: Don't flirt with me, there are people above me, even Cao Cao and Cao Sikong personally came forward to find a teacher for me.It's true that your teacher is Du Kui, but compared to the two I mentioned, it's shit, so don't mess with me.

"Layman Xuanshuo, why don't you let me know if you have a distinguished guest?"

Just when Zhang Tai was blushing and didn't know what to say, a woman's soft voice suddenly came from outside the attic.

A black-clothed woman walked into the attic gracefully.

As soon as this woman entered the attic, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

How can there be a bright light?
The woman's hair is like a cloud, hanging loose on her thin shoulders.The eyebrows are curved, exuding all kinds of amorous feelings, the autumn waves are rippling, the nose is straight and straight, and the cherry mouth is small, which makes people have the impulse to pick and taste.The loose black clothes concealed the exquisite and graceful body, but it was even more alluring...

"Guan Layman, I was about to send someone over to invite you, but you came by yourself."

Xuan Shuo laughed, his voice slightly hoarse.

He turned around and said softly to Cao Peng, "This is at the foot of Beiman Mountain, the master of the Chrysanthemum Nunnery, a layman of Yueguan."

After finishing speaking, Xuan Shuo walked forward with a smile, "Guan Layman came just in time, let me introduce you to a handsome young man. This is the one who wrote "Eight Hundred Characters" not long ago and is famous for "Humble Room Inscription" Cao Peng and Cao Babai from Lianghuai. Yesterday you said, “If you don’t see Cao Babai, it’s useless to become a Buddha. Hehe, it’s all over now, Cao Babai is right in front of you, and you will have no regrets even if you become a Buddha.”

Yue Guan's eyes were like water, sweeping across Cao Peng.

For some reason, Cao Peng was so excited that he gave a chill...

The fourth watch is over, debt repayment and explosion.

Although it was a bit late, Lao Xin finally did what he said.

Ask for a monthly pass!
