Chapter 102 The White Horse's Debate Relatives Visit

The thin man heard his wife say this and said with a little bit of self-deprecating: "Which relative is this? He is Zhengshuo, the direct line of the Pei family, and the most pure descendant of the head of the family. And I am just Wu Pei, who is the last of three or five houses, and I am still a side branch in the room, and I can't even get together."

"Full out!" The beautiful woman couldn't help but feel disappointed in her heart and said to her husband.

The thin man raised his head with a little timid bottom and coughed.

In fact, among the Pei family and the Tianxia family, it is second only to the five surnames and belongs to the first-class family of the world.

Although the thin man was a side branch of Wu Pei from the south, he was also imprinted by the Pei family. He learned his lifelong literary talent from the welfare of the Pei family since he was young. He is a highly respected Li Zheng in Luoyang.

The beautiful woman has an average family background. Although her ancestors have several generations of officials, they have already declined by this generation.

It is considered a high-spirited woman to be able to marry a thin man.

When we first talked about marriage, the beautiful woman showed off her husband to her relatives and friends.

But after marrying, the beautiful woman is just a small official with sesame and green beans, and it is not worth mentioning in the bustling Luoyang City.

Compared with those real high-ranking officials and nobles, their husbands are just a drop in the ocean.

The beautiful woman yearns for a wealthy family life with a rich life, and is a little tired of a life that can only maintain food and clothing.

Looking at Pei Min, who is not much older than her husband in the distance, but now he is a hero who is below one person and above millions of people, his heart is filled with a strange loss. Thinking of his charming appearance and plump figure, he has made a sick man cheaper, and he can't help but scream for himself and said, "What's this? Tian Wuer Pei, as long as he has a surname Pei, he is an ancestor. If he is also a clan brother, when he comes to Luoyang, there is no reason not to visit him..."

The beautiful woman said, her big watery eyes staring straight at Pei Min in the distance.

Pei Min felt a little cold on his spine for no reason and looked around.

There are literati and poets around, and they are crowded together, and their eyes are mostly looking at them.

No matter how sensitive Pei Min's six consciousnesses are, they are useless.

"This White Horse Temple is the first temple in China. Its temple originated from the "Monk of Honglu Temple". It has become a common name for the Jiuzhou Temple. The monks Shemoteng and Zhu Falan translated the "Forty-Two Chapters of Sutra" here, which is also the first Chinese translation Buddhist scripture..." Zhang Shuo showed off his erudition and talked about the history of White Horse Temple.

Pei Min has seen a lot of miscellaneous studies, but he personally has some rejection of Buddhism and has no in-depth understanding. He watched Zhang say he was pretending.

When it comes to the magnificence of White Horse Temple.

Master Shi Dao, the head of the White Horse Temple, said with his hands together: "The White Horse Temple was built in the 11th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It has been more than 680 years, and has experienced many disasters and suffered repeated disasters. In the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the coalition forces from all over the country, with Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, as the leader, formed a semi-encirclement formation against Luoyang. In order to prevent the people from escaping, he burned all the houses within 200 miles of Luoyang City, and the White Horse Temple was burned out. In the 25th year of Jian'an, Cao Pi rebuilt Luoyang Palace and rebuilt the White Horse Temple. In the first year of Yong'an in the Western Jin Dynasty, Zhang Fang, general of Sima Yong, attacked Luoyang, burned and killed the enemy and looted, and amid the long-term war and fire... In the late Northern Wei Dynasty, the "Yongxi Rebellion", Luoyang City was once again destroyed. Baima Temple suffered disasters again..."

This old monk, who is 60 years old, has a compassionate appearance, with a bit of solemnity and caution: "The rebirth of Nirvana in White Horse Temple can only be reborn with a better body by experiencing great pain and hardship. The Dharma is boundless, so Bodhi is boundless, so knowing the way of Nirvana is in the wonderful agreement. Amitabha..."

Pei Min glanced at the old monk with a little sneer when he heard this.

This Master Shi Dao looked compassionate on the surface, but in fact it was extremely realistic.

When he learned about Pei Min, Zhang said that they and his group came to visit Baima Temple and came to greet each other as soon as possible, accompanying them throughout the journey, and doing what they did was just like a tour guide in later generations.

Along the way, he kept instilling the history of Baima Temple and promoting the glory of Baima Temple.

What he said before was exactly the same as Zhang said.

The historical knowledge oralized by Zhang Shuo and the Buddhist theory of "Nirvana" are promoted to the White Horse Temple.

Now White Horse Temple is the most ancient temple in the world, but the most famous temple in the world is Shaolin.

Master Shi Dao obviously planned to use Pei Min, Zhang Shuo, Su Feng and the literati and poets who accompanied them here today to promote White Horse Temple to increase the popularity of the incense.

Pei Min is not sure whether Buddhism is empty in all four elements, but the old monk in front of him is not an old man with empty in all four elements.

Just like a master in later generations, he managed his faith into a business.

Seeing that everyone around was immersed in the glorious history of White Horse Temple, Pei Min knew that Master Shi Dao's plan had succeeded.

Using the three of them to play, Master Shi Dao set off his wishful thinking.

Pei Min thought of a book he had read and knew it was time for him to express himself.

An old monk with deep scheming hits his attention on his head, so there is no reason not to fight back.

Besides, as both Wenzong, his status as a scholar is even higher than that of Zhang Shuo. How could he let him pretend from beginning to end?

Pei Min then said: "In Buddhism, temples are expensive but no longer majestic. This White Horse Temple looks magnificent, but in fact it has the feeling of gold and jade on the outside but the shattered catkins in it."

Zhang Shuo was stunned and asked for advice: "How can Mr. Pei explain this?"

Master Shi Dao was a little surprised, but he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart. He was unmoved on the surface and said, "Why did Mr. Pei say this?... The four elements of monks are empty and do not care about things outside the body. What is the temple is not important. There is a Buddha in his heart, and there is a Buddha everywhere."

Pei Min smiled slightly and said, "The abbot should know that faith has true faith, false faith, which is the so-called sincerity and dishonestness. Our current White Horse Temple is a temple that was expanded during the reign of Empress Wu during the period of Empress Wu, and the person in charge is Xue Huaiyi. Xue Huaiyi is well-known, his original name is Feng Xiaobao. He was originally a peddler who made a living by selling wild medicine in the city well in Luoyang. He had no real talent and knowledge. He presided over the preservation of the White Horse Temple as a cover-up move by Empress Wu. Renovating and expanding the White Horse Temple is also for his own enjoyment. How sincere is he expressing himself."

"Before this, when the Northern Dynasties believed in Buddhism, many kings were not even willing to be the emperor, but were dedicated to the Buddha. It can be seen that their sincerity was that the entire White Horse Temple at that time was regular in layout, simple in style, and strict in accordance with Buddhist customs. The entrance was a door and three holes, symbolizing the Buddhist "empty gate", "no form gate", and "no work gate" was the so-called "three liberation gate". The five main halls were from south to north, namely the Heavenly King Hall, the Great Buddha Hall, the Great Buddha Hall, the Great Hall, the Enlightenment Hall and the Vairocana Hall. Among them, the Heavenly King Hall was a single-eaved hip-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted hill-mounted tower from south to north, offering Vairocana Buddha, Man

"Every hall and every Buddha are extremely particular, and they also agree with the noble truth that the four elements of Buddhism are empty, and everything is outside the body..."

Pei Min kept talking, looking at the now luxurious and wealthy White Horse Temple, he saw a scene and object of the White Horse Temple a hundred years ago reappearing in front of him.

Zhang said that Su Feng looked at each other and the surrounding gentry of Luoyang who were accompanying each other widened their eyes.

As for Master Shi Dao, he was confused and didn't know whether what Pei Min said was right or not. He was not born more than a hundred years ago.

But he did not dare to refute Pei Min's words, because he was a generation of literary masters and had a certain right to speak in the Shilin.

Su Yong has thirty volumes of essays passed down from generation to generation, and has also participated in the revision of "Kaiyuan Hou Ge", "Kaiyuan Hou Ling" and "Kaiyuan Hou Shi". His status in the literary world is higher than that of Zhang Shuoyou, and he is not inferior to Pei Min. He is in quantity, while Pei Min wins in quality. At this moment, hearing Pei Min tell the White Horse Temple hundreds of years ago, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Why did Mr. Pei say it as if he had seen it with his own eyes?"

Pei Min said: "It is from a book called "Luoyang Jialan" that it is a book about history, geography, Buddhism, and literature that combines history and story stories that combine history, geography, Buddhism and literature when the Yuan and Wei dynasties visited Luoyang again. It not only records the original appearance of Baima Temple in detail, but also describes the architecture of the Northern Wei capital city..."

"Is there such a strange book?" Zhang Shuo looked surprised, "I have read thousands of books, but I have never heard of this book."

Pei Min was not surprised. He came to this era for many years and studied many classic ancient books, and he also found a little.

Regarding the records of the Southern and Northern Dynasties a hundred years ago, people all valued the south and ignored the north, and regarded the Southern Dynasties as the main story, while the Northern Dynasties selectedly ignored it.

The strange book "The Legend of Galan in Luoyang" has become a pearl of dust and is unknown to the world.

Pei Min bought it by chance when he was shopping for books. He was quite fond of it. After reading it twice, he had a deep impression of the general content in the book. He smiled and said, "Min also bought it by chance, and the wonderful writing is indescribable. If you are interested, you can read it."

As a Wenzong, in addition to making articles, recommending classic good books to the world is also one of the tasks.

This book "The Legend of Jialan in Luoyang" was the first time Pei Min fulfilled Wenzong's responsibility for recommending books.

Whether it was a Wenzong like Zhang Shuo, Su Feng, the literary masters around him, and even the Shilin people nearby had made up their minds.

After today, I must read "The Legend of Luoyang Galan".

A magical art that was originally known to the world in the 20th century was popular throughout Shilin because of a word from Pei Min.

This is also the influence of Emperor Wenzong.

In Shilin's heart, Wenzong's status was extremely noble.

Pei Min looked at the luxurious White Horse Temple with an inexplicable smile on her face.

Compared with the four great ideas of monk Tianzhu, he felt that their culture of Confucianism and Dharma bones was more worth learning.

Pei Min said devoutly: "So, the current White Horse Temple is golden and jade, and the shaved and shredded are too luxurious, but instead it loses the four elements that monks should have... Master Shidao, do you think my words are reasonable?"

Master Shi Dao realized the terror of a top student, hesitated and couldn't speak. After a moment, he bowed and said, "Amitabha! Things in the world are like passing clouds and smoke, gold and jade are good, and they are also good, just like in my eyes."

Pei Min said: "Even if it is the same, why should it be repaired so magnificently? Isn't it better to use incense money to help the people and repair the roads? It is more in line with the Buddhist concept of saving sentient beings."

"Amitabha!"

Master Shi Dao was speechless.

Zhang said that when Su Feng met and smiled, they also faintly felt Master Shi Dao's intentions, but they didn't want to sweep away the interest in playing and ignored it.

But Pei Min forced Master Shi Dao to say nothing in just a few words. He was even more curious about the book "Luoyang Galan" and had a premonition. "Luoyang Galan" is not as simple as literal quotation.

They thought it was good.

Galan comes from Sanskrit and is also transliterated as "Sengkalanmo" refers to the guardian god of temples. Therefore, "Luoyang Galan" has always been considered an ancient Buddhist historical book. In fact, the content of this is to reveal the rulers' obsession with the disasters of Buddhist superstition, to remember the past scenes of Luoyang, preserve historical facts, and express the sadness of the country's destruction and the destruction of Kyoto.

It is a book with Buddhist historical books but its content is an anti-Buddha book.

Pei Min is already very charming, and this confident speech brainwashing also infected a group of people around him, and he turned his admiration to the city, especially the beautiful woman, who seemed to be trying to eat Pei Min in one bite.

After visiting the White Horse Temple, Zhang said, Su Bing, Pei Min and his group went to Jingu Garden to visit again.

I returned until the sun sets, and I also agreed to go out again on the next holiday.

Back to the villa prepared by Li Longji for him.

He has arranged the itinerary for Fengshan.

Just waiting for the arrival of Fengshan Day.

Pei Min was also in a situation of doing nothing for a moment. In Chang'an, he could go to Qingyulou to watch operas, talk to Gongsun You, or go to Liyuan to chat with Xie Aman, etc.

Luoyang has no relatives and can only take it with him honestly, read books or think about how to deal with Gongsun Xi's problem.

Since that day, Gongsun Xi has obviously been hiding from him.

Even Gongsun You noticed that Gongsun Xi was abnormal, and Pei Min couldn't explain it clearly. It was so painful that he was absent-mindedly flipping through an essay.

Suddenly I heard someone coming to report that his distant tribe asked for a meeting.

Pei Min was stunned. He really couldn't remember any distant relatives he had in Luoyang.

"Is it someone from the Pei family? Or is something wrong with the Pei family?"

Pei Min said to himself, "Anyway, it's boring, anyway, it's better to go gradually: "Please invite them to the living room!"

After tidying up his clothes a little, Pei Min walked to the living room.

There were two people sitting in a restrained manner in the living room, one man and one woman. When they saw Pei Min coming, they hurriedly came up to meet him.

"Wu Pei comes from the south of the liu, Pei Guan has met the Duke..." Pei Guan was very restrained and his every move was stiff.

The woman was generous and bowed softly, "I am Pei Yang, and I have met Brother Pei's family..."

She called intimately and her voice was very charming.
