Chapter 1314 Chang'an (12)
When Su Wu heard what Jian Zhen said, he replied with great interest: "The Consciousness-Wei Sect began with Master Xuanzang's establishment of the 'Yin Ming Lun'. After his disciples became the 'Consciousness-Wei Sect', it has been passed down to the present. He should be the third ancestor." Hui Numa' is in charge.
However, nowadays, the Dharma-Xiang Weishi Sect is becoming weaker and weaker than it was during the Xuanzang period.
Huinuma led his disciples to travel to various places, but they were not in the "Ci'en Temple" in Chang'an, or had any intention of avoiding the current emperor.
If I go to Ci'en Temple again, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to meet the saint. As for Xingshan Temple, "Shan Wuwei" should be in charge now, and the "Vajra Tripitaka" came with the team of Tubo envoys to meet the saint. He was fully prepared for all the tantric methods in the world, and it was also the time when his ambitions were high. In the past, there was kindness and fearlessness, and in the later, there was vajra wisdom. At present, tantra is showing signs of great prosperity.
According to what the master said, after we set foot in Chang'an, we should first go to 'Xingshan Temple'. "
Hearing this, Jianzhen raised his eyelids and said to Su Wu, "Then the Ci'en Sect will not be able to leave?"
"Go in secret." Su Wu replied with a smile.
After hearing his words, Jianzhen was silent for a moment and nodded.
Nowadays, the true transmission of "Faxiang Sect" is not in Ci'en Temple. The third ancestor Huinumao is now practicing all kinds of Dharma. Although the people of Chang'an know the name of this eminent monk, they have never seen it with their own eyes. Su Wu's trip to Ci'en Temple is actually nothing more. I was just curious about the many traces left by Master Xuanzang in the temple to see if there were any secrets hidden in them.
Zhang Fang, Abeli and others next to them saw that Su Wu and Jianzhen had discussed the results, and their expressions also relaxed a little.
——When Su Wu and Jian Zhen were talking, they were clearly listening. However, even though they remembered what Su Wu and Jian Zhen said, they did not explore the large amount of information contained in their words. came out, this inevitably made them feel like they had heard and not heard, and suspected that they had no brains. Fortunately, the two ended the conversation, which saved them from sinking deeply into this feeling of frustration. bingo.
Su Wu stood up from the hut and was about to go out the door when Tao Zu held him back.
Tao Zu frowned and asked Su Wu: "You just said that the monk of Faxiang Sect left Chang'an and traveled to various places because he was jealous of the current emperor - why did he avoid the current emperor?
What is he afraid of?
I didn’t understand! "
Tao Zu's face was full of curiosity, and he felt that there was something he didn't understand, so he asked Su Wu bluntly, but he didn't mince words.
"When I read Buddhist classics in later generations, I only had a vague feeling like this. After all, Buddhism and Taoism today are too involved in state affairs. But was Huinuma avoiding Emperor Xuanzong? What was the reason? I didn't know for a while. I can't tell clearly." Su Wu replied truthfully to Tao Zu.
Tao Zu curled his lips and let go of his hand holding Su Wu's sleeve.
The group of people left the hut and formed a long horse team, pretending to be business travelers going to Chang'an to sell goods, walked onto the road, merged into the huge crowd of people heading to Chang'an District, and slowly walked into the city that is now the center of the world.
On the earth, a majestic city rises from the ground.
Those foreign merchants who first arrived in Chang'an were all amazed.
Abeli and others, who were born in the country of Bakhan, were also stunned for a long time under the towering city, and their hearts were shocked and could not calm down for a long time.
"Chang'an..."
Zhang Fang looked at the bustling crowd inside and outside the city gate, his eyes full of longing.
Now who doesn’t have a ‘Chang’an Dream’?
The crowd slowly passed through several city gates and finally arrived in Chang'an City. The merchants hawking along the streets, the plump women in swaying skirts, the orchids whose clothes were very different from those of the Tang Dynasty... all of them suddenly crashed into everyone's eyes. In the eyes, as of this moment, Chang'an is no longer a vague and hazy concept.
Su Wu led the horse and while his heart was beating gently, he could already feel the dragon veins intertwining under this city at the center of the world.
But at this moment, his origin is unable to dig out the 'secrets' accumulated in those huge dragon veins.
All the important nodes where the dragon veins intertwined seemed to be 'locked', and the chains gathered together in the mountains, rivers and dragon veins, and gathered in the Forbidden Palace.
His mind wandered through the dragon veins, and he suddenly discovered that there was no 'Li Gui' in the entire Chang'an City!
Maybe there are some monsters that are better at dormant, or maybe there are some terrifying monsters that are beyond Su Wu's knowledge, so Su Wu cannot detect their existence, but at least on the surface, there are no monsters stationed in Chang'an City anymore - Qing Dynasty The capital city at that time fell into the bowels of the Three Purities and turned into a ghost. However, today's Chang'an Capital of the Tang Dynasty has at least on the surface managed to get rid of all the ghosts!
How did Datang achieve this step?
Su Wu guessed that the absence of Li Gui in Chang'an might be related to the dragon veins captured by the Suo Suo.
The skills of "creating human armor" and "painting ink" are not born out of thin air.
The reason why they can be born must be because the soil for their birth has already existed here. The Tang Dynasty may have already had the method of collecting the dragon veins of mountains and rivers to imprison Li Gui, but the Ink Painting and Shengrenjia took it a step further later. , thoroughly carry forward this method!
Zhang Fang followed the crowd into Chang'an City, and his mind was lost in the bustling crowd for a moment. He was at a loss and at a loss. Seeing that Su Wu and others had gone far, he hurriedly followed with his horse and baggage on his back.
He looked around, unloaded the baggage from the horse, held it in his arms, and nervously said to Su Wu: "Mr. Sir, shall we go to Xingshan Temple now?"
Hidden in that bundle was a complete pair of mountain armor.
When he passed the city gate, Zhang Fang was still worried that the armor would be banned, but he did not expect that he would chase him and approach the city gate uneasily. The armored men at the city gate checked him and let him go, not caring at all that the armor on his horse was so big. A burden - Zhang Fang naturally didn't know the inside story about this. They and their group had no way to guide them, and it was difficult to move forward at the moment. They could enter Chang'an City only because Su Wu's will influenced the people around him, making the city gate soldiers ignorant Without realizing it, he let everyone go.
Su Wu nodded: "By this time, Vajra Tripitaka should have settled in Xingshan Temple."
"We don't know the way. Do we need someone to help us show the way?" Zhang Fang observed the people around him. His eyes paused for a long time on the chest of a fat woman in front of a rouge stall on the roadside. After a fierce look, the man scratched his head and regained consciousness and said to Su Wu.
"Need not."
Su Wu didn't need to ask others for directions. The consciousness that ordinary people unknowingly emitted had gradually pieced together a map of Chang'an City under his screening.
He led everyone through the various squares and arrived at the gate of Xingshan Temple in a short time.
The sun was shining brightly at this time.
Although there are still crowds of people in front of the mountain gate of Xingshan Temple and pilgrims come and go in an endless stream, the current scene is not like the scene after the arrival of the 'Vajra Tripitaka'.
Before King Kong Tripitaka arrived in Jutang, the people of Jutang had already heard of his reputation. This is especially true for the Tang people in Chang'an who are exceptionally well-informed.
In the current atmosphere of respecting Buddhism and Taoism, people pursue eminent monks and gods as much as later generations pursue idol stars. Now if Vajra Tripitaka has been settled in Xingshan Temple, this place must be crowded with countless people waiting here. After seeing the Vajra Tripitaka, they prayed to the eminent monks to bring them all kinds of blessings. However, although there were many pilgrims in front of Xingshan Temple, few people talked about the "Vajra Tripitaka" that was very popular in Chang'an.
This seems to indicate that the Vajra Tripitaka has not yet settled down in Xingshan Temple.
Su Wu stood outside the mountain gate and took a long look into Xingshan Temple. Then he grabbed a passing monk, put his hands together and saluted him, and asked aloud: "Little master, we have heard about the 'Vajra Tripitaka' divine monk." I visited the saint and was directed by the saint to settle down in Xingshan Temple.
I wonder if Master Vajra Tripitaka is in the temple now. We are about to pay a visit. "
When the monk heard Su Wu's question, he gave Su Wu a funny look and said, "Since you want to see Master Vajra Zhi, why did you come to our Xingshan Temple?
Don’t you know that Master Vajra Zhi was pointed out by the saint to have settled down in the ‘Ci’en Temple’?
Who told you that Master Vajra Zhi settled in Xingshan Temple? That person deliberately tricked you. If you come to Xingshan Temple, your trip will be in vain. "
"Cien Temple?" Su Wu was a little surprised when he heard this.
The real name of "Vajra Tripitaka" is "Vajra Wisdom", also known as "Vajra Tripitaka".
This monk, together with Shan Wuwei and the later "Bu Kong", were called the "Three Great Masters of Kaiyuan".
"That's right." The young monk glanced at Jiang Yingying behind Su Wu, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, then came back to his senses and said to Su Wu, "Master Vajra Zhi has already visited the saint a day ago. Now that we have settled down in Ci'en Temple, you still don't know the news...
From your accent, it doesn't sound like you are from Chang'an, right? "
"Yes, we came here from out of town to pay a visit to Master Vajra Zhi, hoping that he can bless us and keep our family healthy." Su Wu said a few words casually, then turned to the young monk and said, "Now Since Master Vajra Zhi is not seen in the temple, I wonder if Master Shan Wuwei is in the temple.
I'll wait and see you all together. "
When the young monk was pulled by Su Wu, he looked a little impatient. After saying a few words to Su Wu, he was about to walk away. But then he saw that there were several beautiful women behind Su Wu, and he did not want to leave for a while. I took the initiative to talk to him in the afternoon, which was in line with his intention and allowed him to stay here for a while: "Venerable Shan Wuwei compiled the scriptures today and did not go out.
Come back to Xingshan Temple in a few days, when the nobles in the court have taken a rest, and you should be able to see the Venerable Shan Wuwei with your own eyes. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to receive his 'Disaster Eliminating Initiation'. "
There are many differences between Han Tantric initiation and Tibetan initiation.
For example, today's virtuous and fearless initiations will not dare to be as bloody or sexual as those in Tibetan Buddhism. They will only use various kinds of clean water to give "bottle irrigation" to disciples or people, canceling the meaning of eliminating disasters and welcoming blessings.
"Thank you for informing me. We will go to Xingshan Temple in a few days." Su Wu nodded, then looked up at Xingshan Temple under the cover of the mountain gate.
Today's temples are gorgeous and spacious, but how does Ci'en Temple compare?
Everyone said goodbye to Xingshan Temple and wandered around Chang'an for a long time.
Now that it is known that 'King Kong Zhi' has settled in Ci'en Temple, Su Wu is not in a hurry to see him. Qingzi and Ping Lingzi have never experienced the scenery of the Tang Dynasty, especially Qingzi. In the past, her family was well off and her father supported the family. , she was always full of longing and yearning for the Tang Dynasty.
Yingying followed Su Wu to the Tang Dynasty, but was frightened along the way. Now that they can enter the capital where there is no mystery, Su Wu is willing to take them around.
Among everyone, the ones who enjoyed the most were Tao Zu and Hong Renkun.
In front of Hu Ji's Restaurant, Hong Renkun pulled away the blond Hu Ji's hand that was tugging on his sleeve, pushed aside a dark-skinned 'Kunlun Slave' carrying goods, and joined the crowd.
He sneezed repeatedly and glanced at the Orchid Wine Shop across the street with lingering fear.
In front of the wine shop, the Hu Ji with magnificent breasts winked at him and twisted her waist with silver bells. Hong Renkun shuddered, retracted his gaze, sniffed and said with emotion to the people who were tasting street food: "Is the reason why this Hu Ji is called Hu Ji because they all have body odor?
The smell of spices can hardly cover up such a strong body odor..."
Jiang Yingying, who was sitting in front of the food stall tasting wontons, heard what Hong Renkun said, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and half of the wonton in her mouth almost sprayed out.
"Unlearned and incompetent...
Really unlearned and incompetent..." Tao Zu shook his head and sighed, then turned to Su Wu and said, "I heard from the diners around that there will be a 'sumo wrestling show' in 'Pingkangfang' in a few days. Why don't we go to Pingkangfang to have some fun in a few days?"
Qingzi, Ping Lingzi, and Jiang Yingying, the three women, put down their chopsticks at once, their eyes slightly shining, and they were obviously a little interested.
They didn't know where Pingkangfang was, but when Tao Zu said there were entertainment activities there, they wanted to see the entertainment methods of the Tang people today.
