Taoist Priest Qiwu only left behind a slender figure and a few cold words.

"Since you were brought here by Zhenzhi, he will naturally arrange everything.

But if you want to find out any news, Lanruo Temple at the foot of the mountain opposite seems to be a better place.

Those great monks know the roads of the Western Regions very well.

I, the Heavenly Master, have not left the Central Plains, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help Madam."

The smile on Mrs. Shi's lips did not fade away as she watched Qi Wudao go away. Her blue eyes looked more charming and deeper, but they were also a bit colder.

"Let's go!"

Xunzhi pulled the corner of Qingyun's clothes and motioned for him to follow him to chase Taoist Qiwu.

Qingyun was obviously a little reluctant to leave, but he didn't want to go against his second brother's wishes, so he followed him obediently.

"Second brother, why is Taoist Master Qiwu so cold to Mrs. Shi?"

"She has such a strong background, I'm afraid she will cause a lot of trouble in the temple."

"How do you know?"

"Because the people she brought are not ordinary nursing staff at all, but elite soldiers who have undergone rigorous training."

"I, why didn't I see it?"

"Are you watching? The only one you are staring at is Mrs. Shi.

So Mrs. Shi is definitely not a simple person.

She must have some ulterior motives, and there must be a powerful and restless force behind her."

"Prince?"

Xunzhi held his chin, thought for a moment, shook his head and said,

"They are not from the same group. Most of the prince's support is still in the northwest. These people come from the Southern Dynasties, and I am afraid they have nothing to do with what Brother Xiao is planning. This water is getting muddier."

"What the second brother means is that in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were people who were planning to change the world, and the key figures were all gathered in Songshan?

I'm afraid the wolf will summon the wolf, the dog will bite the dog, and there will be some games and chaos?"

"Isn't it just Wei Qi who is paying attention to the fight?

The first ones to lose their temper must be the monsters."

"Monster? Who is the second brother talking about?"

Feng Liang entered Lanruo and was immediately received with the highest standard by the Ertong and Sitang.

Someone had already cleared out the highest monk's pavilion in the temple and used it as a temporary storage place for the precious scriptures.

The two most mysterious masters, Jufa and Foxian, not only appeared in the public eye for the first time, but also uncharacteristically invited Zhu Sensheng and Shensha to talk about sutras all night long.

Feng Liang moved into the small pavilion where the scriptures were stored. There was only a bright moon and the fragrance of ink filled the room.

He hasn't slept yet, obviously waiting for someone, waiting for news about Ba Ba Ba Liu Guan.

Everyone has a face, but there are thousands of thoughts hidden under the face.

But Ba Ba Ba has different views. He seems to have thousands of faces, he can be male or female, old or young, but his thoughts under the skin are simple and simple.

Feng Liang knew that Ba Ba Ba Liu Guan was a reliable person and the two of them were real partners.

Zhu Sensheng and Shen Sha are just props to hide their identities.

Under the moonlight, the spider web under the eaves reflected a faint silver light, and a spider stared fiercely at its struggling prey.

Feng Liang watched quietly. Could it be that he was trapped in a net?

I just don’t know whether the character I am playing is a spider or a fly?

The chessboard under the window has clear longitude and latitude, and not a single piece has fallen.

Will you be the first chess piece thrown on the board, or the one who plays the chess piece?

With a soft sigh, he took out a chess piece from the black chess box and gently placed it on the chessboard.

“When I first arrived, I couldn’t sleep for a long time.

Since my friends are here, why not play a game of chess?"

》》》》》Time to knock on the blackboard》《《《

"Could it be the law?" Zi Zhen once said, this section comes from "Mencius: Whole Heart". In fact, in the "metaphysical" subject fields such as philosophy, art of war, and psychology, middle schools have never lagged behind Western learning, but now they quote ancient Chinese books

There are fewer and fewer people using allusions, and it seems that names with foreign characters will appear more high-end. It is understandable that "people of insight" will inevitably "follow the good".

It’s just that the excavation of middle schools has almost stagnated this year. Not to mention the miscellaneous works of various scholars, even the Four Books and Five Classics, and the official history of China are cited less and less in articles. If culture dies, the nation will die, and economic rejuvenation has not brought about literature and art.

Renaissance is still the decline of a nation. In the last few sections of this work, during the blackboard time, the author will carefully analyze the Renaissance in the West, why it was inevitable, necessary, what the key points were, and how it helped the West in the recent four

It has moved towards cultural dominance over the past century.

Our culture lacks such a renaissance, needs such a renaissance, and perhaps it is not far away.

Closer to home, this section mentioned many monk families with descendants, so the author will briefly talk about the precepts of early Buddhism. No matter how countries advocate Buddhism, they still need to reproduce their descendants, and Buddhist monks must receive full precepts. This

There is no doubt about it. This is an explanation about the full precepts. The specific rules of the Eight Precepts and the Ten Precepts were only compiled in the Tang Dynasty, and are not strictly adhered to by all Buddhist schools.

To this day, Japanese Buddhism does not prohibit marriage due to the leading role of monk Jianzhen. Lingnan Pure Land Sect and Tibetan Red and White Sect also prohibit marriage. Some famous great monks in the Southern and Northern Dynasties had children, such as Jiu mentioned in this article.

Mo Zhi, the annotated sutra teacher in the official translation of Kumarajiva, was "forced to marry" by two emperors, so he had many wives and concubines, many children and grandchildren. There is also a famous sutra teacher Tan Wu Zhe, according to the records in the official history

, is simply a lewd monk. If the preacher is like this, how can the ordained people in China be strict? Therefore, the phenomenon of monks getting married during the Southern and Northern Dynasties was still very common.

This chapter is suspected of the appearance of the Journey to the West quartet, and it is not an Easter egg. In fact, the prototypes of the Journey to the West team span multiple historical eras, such as Zhu Shixing during the Three Kingdoms period, which is a real character (Zhu Seng mentioned in this article

Sheng is also a historical figure. His real name is Zhu Hui, and his courtesy name is Seng Sheng. He is the father of Zhu Rui, a famous general of the Er Zhu Rong faction. The prototype of Sun Wukong, Che Fengchao, lived in the Tang Dynasty and was a descendant of the Northern Wei royal family. Monk Sha

The prototype of General Shensha is a sutra protector Arhat. In fact, there are many monks who traveled westward from China to obtain sutras, such as Song Yun and Fa Xian, both of whom are famous in history. But why are those four sutra collectors from all over the world chosen by the novelist?

Formed a team? Could it be because there were legends of similar combinations in history?

The most important sutra that Master Xuanzang sought during his journey to the west in the Tang Dynasty was the Mahaprajna Sutra, which is the core sutra of Mahayana Buddhism. General Shensha was the protector of this sutra. This set of sutras had actually been in use as early as the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

There are six translations of this sutra that have been circulated in China. The earliest version is the "Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra" translated by Master Jiumozhi mentioned in this article. This set of sutras is a classic of the Prajna Sutra of Buddhism and the most popular "

The Diamond Sutra and the Heart Sutra are both single-line sutras in this set of sutras. Within ten years of the time this story is set, a second set of translations also appeared, and the translator was Bodhi Liu Zhi, a monk from Northern India.

The Preface to the Northern Wei Dynasty of "Di Jing" says: Tripitaka Master Bodhi Liuzhi, Wei Yanjuexi. It can be seen that the Buddhist titles of monks in the Northern Wei Dynasty were indeed as discussed in this book. Sanskrit and Chinese titles were mentioned together, and Chinese titles were mostly used in China. The translation of Master Xuanzang,

In fact, it is already the fifth edition, with the Sanskrit-Chinese bilingual version of the famous Southern Dynasty monk Zhenti (Paramahata), the Sui Dynasty monk Fazang (Dharmagupta), and the subsequent translation by Master Yijing (Chinese).

Since there is such an obvious easter egg as General Shensha buried in the later "Journey to the West" team, it shows that the story of Journey to the West was probably borrowed from previous teams related to the introduction of the "Prajna Sutra" to China. You see, this book

I used this as the glue to build up a team with rich experience, the earliest seekers of the West, the first family to translate this scripture, the royal family that has made the greatest contribution to the internal transmission of the scriptures, the sutra protector Arhat, well, maybe Mr. Luo Guanzhong

Did you get the creative inspiration just from reading this book?

Wait a moment!

What did I find?

Could it be that Luo Guanzhong is,

wear!

cross!
