The winter snow is falling, intermittent, and the weather has never cleared. The weeping willows on both sides of the brocade stream are like dead trees, covered in silver, and the whole alley is dazzling.

Zuo Qi came back from outside and used a duster to brush away the snow. His face was a little unhappy and said, "Langjun, there are a few more disciples from the Crouching Tigers. They are very arrogant and do not avoid it. They just walked back and forth around, and from time to time they asked the neighbors about Jingyuan's situation."

Xu You is practicing calligraphy. He rarely goes out during this period. He passes the time to pick up the fonts he has been running around before. If he doesn't advance, he will retreat. If he wants to settle down, he cannot waste a good word.

"The yellow-eared dog moves when he hears a strange sound. Did anyone knock over the dishes?" This is ridiculous, but it has a source. The Wohusi Department of Sili Mansion handled the case quickly. When the suspect was arrested, he was still packing up his fine lines and preparing to run away. He said with a bitter face, why did you yellow-eared dogs come so quickly? A disciple replied that we moved when he heard a strange sound. When the silver and money in your old dog's bag sounded, we knew it, and it was rumored to be a joke.

The autumnal equinox and the frost served the left and right, the spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums were each good at playing, one person grinding and one person paperweighting, and said in unison: "No!"

"No?"

Xu You closed the pen tip and was a little dissatisfied with the words just now. I don’t know if the quality of the Zhongshan Hair brush in my hand was too poor or the Zuo Bo paper lost its rhyme. Anyway, it was awkward no matter how you look at it, so he sighed and said, “It seems that Meng Xingchun is still worried about me!”

He Ru, who was lying beside him, looked at a yellow ancient book. He didn't know who wrote it, found it from a dusty study in Jingyuan. The former owner of this house ran near the sea to go shopping and actually collected many ancient books from all over the world and hid them at home. However, he had never read the dust on the pages, and it was just a ritual. He closed the book, turned over and sat up, and smiled and said, "Su Tang left Jingyuan, you still stayed in your door. Of course, Meng Xingchun wanted to know what you were doing!"

Before, he could have thought that he was greedy for women and Emperor Su Tang, Hu Tian and Hu, and he didn't know that the sun and the moon were passing by. Now that he had no reason, Xu You couldn't be purified.

"Okay, go and call the Winter Solstice together, and go out for a walk now!" Xu You threw away the pen, crumpled the paper into a ball, turned around and asked, "Who knows where there are people who sell paper and pens? You need good paper and good pens!"

Qiantang City in the heavy snow had less fireworks and a little more graceful Zen. The group walked through Liushu Lane and bypassed Sanlifang. You could see Yuanyang Jinglu on the edge of the West Lake from afar. Oh no, it is now called Dade Temple. Dozens of craftsmen were bare-handed and had white air on their heads. They were demolishing the original buildings one by one in the snow.

The construction of Dade Temple is not expensive. The prefecture allocated part of the funds and then took out part of it from Qiantang County. The remaining difference was raised by the Buddhist sect. However, as the base camp of Tianshidao, Yangzhou does not have many ordinary lay Buddhists who believe in Buddhism and cannot raise much money. Therefore, under the instruction of some people in the imperial capital, Zhu Fayan sent his disciples to the homes of some middle-class gentry to beg for alms. It is not a problem to give more and give less, at least let the Buddha see your heart towards Buddha.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in Buddhism. Buddhism emphasizes equal education, which is more radical than Confucianism’s teachings and non-existence. As long as you have good intentions, you can achieve good results.

What is kindness? Donating money to Dade Temple is the greatest kindness!

These middle-aged gentry could not afford to offend Buddhism, so they had to swallow their anger and pay the money obediently. Of course, there were also people who wanted to speculate and offered huge sums of money to the Buddhists to show their goodwill. So they coaxed and deceived them, and the fence-bearers, and Zhu Fayan quickly raised enough money for the early stages, so after the handover was completed today, they immediately broke ground.

Zhu Fayan cannot be blamed for being anxious. Zhu Daorong gave him only four months. The Buddha Bath Festival must be completed on April 8th next year. For this, he will spare no effort, money, and everything!

"The great master... is called Potantuo in Sanskrit, right?" Xu You has a wide range of knowledge and is proficient in various classics of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. Especially after his rebirth, many books he read in his previous life, whether they are broken or tasted, appear more clearly and clearly in his mind. He has not been lost in the long river of memory as time and space travels through time. Instead, it seems that he has been washed and tempered by the years and becomes more and more solid.

"The Buddha said that after today, Xiaoxiao, in the place where he stays, he should call him a great virtue! The Sanskrit word of the great virtue is Potantuo, which means that he is older and virtuous, and Qilang is really good at learning!" He Ru talked about Buddhist scriptures with great disdain and a sarcastic expression, without any of the style of a great virtue and a famous monk.

Zhuo is also a Sanskrit word, which translates it as a monk, a Buddhist disciple who became a monk. Xu You still knows this point, turned his head and looked at Zuo Lushuang and others, and said, "Who knows how to explain the 'great master' in the Book of Changes?"

Zuo Qi said ashamedly: "I haven't read the Book of Changes thoroughly. I really don't know how to explain this."

After Lu Shuang held her hands, she stepped back and stepped on the snow. Her beautiful figure was undoubtedly revealed. She frowned for a while, and suddenly she looked happy and said, "I remember that the great virtues of heaven and earth are called life, and life is endless and is called Yi!"

Xu You clapped and smiled, "That's right!"

The autumnal equinox has not liked to read since childhood, and he has no conditions for studying with Xu You. He has too much knowledge and cannot suppress his admiration in his heart. He pulled her skirt sleeve and praised: "Sister, you know so much!"

Although I read books on the Winter Solstice, I was almost the same as Zuo Qi. I knew too little about the Book of Changes. After listening to Lu Shuang's words, I felt something and said, "The great virtues mentioned by Confucianism are much more transparent than those of Buddhism. The great virtues said to be Sheng is really simple and clear, but they point directly to the deepest truths between heaven and earth. Xiaolang, what is the great virtues of Taoism?"

"Although the "Book of Changes" is regarded as one of the Six Classics by Confucianism, it is not completely considered a Confucian classic. Taoism also learns the "Book of Changes" and leads to the understanding of life from the great virtues of heaven and earth. Those who have not been born have always been born, and those who have been born are born in this way. This means that life reproduction and endless breeding. Besides, the word "Book of virtue" is believed to be unity, harmony, that is, benevolence. Lao Tzu believed that all things in the world are born from the Tao, and if they are combined with the Tao, they must have virtue. As for Buddhism, there is a very famous seven Buddhas' precepts verse, which is not done by any evil and to do good. This is the great virtue of Sakyamuni, and it cannot be said that it is worse than the Confucian and Taoist schools!"

"My virtue is to let things go, and to do everything without doing anything. Confucius' virtue is to repay kindness and to take revenge with hatred. Hu monk's virtue is to accept the virtue of being obedient, and I have to endure it even if I beat me." Dong Xie curled her lips and said, "After all, Buddhism is the most shameless!"

Xu You smiled bitterly. There is wisdom in the Winter Solstice, but given his young age and experience, his knowledge became more extreme. He said: "Buddhist requires that no evil be done, precepts are prohibited, and innocent behavior; practice all good, and be pure in mind; purify one's intentions and eliminate evil. It is also called "doing all evil be done, and doing all good is good, and doing good is not the ultimate, so there are some omissions. This is why it is said that oneself purifies one's intention, eliminates ignorance and troubles, transcends the unobstructed goodness of the opposition between good and evil, and integrates the moral nature inside and the moral essence outside into one. It is actually very reasonable. It cannot be simply said that others are shameless."

The view of Buddhism in the Winter Solstice is full of personal prejudice, but this prejudice largely represents the initial understanding of the Buddhism introduced from the Western Regions by Yangzhou locals.

After being tirelessly preached and brainwashed by the Taoist Tao for more than 100 years, many people's thoughts and spirits are shackled in a narrow world. Whether you believe in or not, you instinctively feel disgusted with another religion, and at the same time there is a subtle sense of insecurity of being violated.

This is determined by the exclusivity of religion, but the magic is that in this prosperous country, no matter how many religions and different beliefs are, they can be slowly assimilated and integrated, and then passed down from generation to generation along the drama of love and killing, and never dies, nor will they always dominate.

Zhu Fayan has a heavy responsibility but a long way to go!

"Winter Solstice, you scold the monk for being shameless," He Ru laughed and said, "But you are scolding me in person..."

The Winter Solstice always unconsciously forgot the fact that He Ru was once a monk. He stuck out his tongue and obediently hid aside and stopped talking. Xu Youyang couldn't shut up even if he said hundreds of words. He Ru made a joke so scared that she didn't even dare to refute. It can be seen that in terms of the ability to start a mouth, He Ru was invincible.

In fact, He Ru didn't mind others scolding monks because he scolded the most, but unlike others, he had no position. As long as he didn't like him, he would not only scold monks, but also Confucian scholars and Taoist priests.

"The Winter Solstice is right, the monk is shameless..."

"Amitabha! I wonder why Tan Yue scolded the monks? If there are monks in the sect who are inappropriate in their words and deeds, please give me advice. If there is, I will correct it."

Everyone turned around, but saw three monks in white standing seven or eight meters behind him. The leader was about forty or fifty years old, with black hair and gray hair, kind eyebrows and eyes, and a treasure-like appearance. Xu You did not want to cause trouble, so he stopped He Ru, afraid that he would speak without any restraint, so he bowed and said, "My friend jokes that he was unintentional, so don't blame him for offending!"

The monk put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name. A smile appeared on his face and said, "Since it is a joke, how can you offend it? It's an old monk who is abrupt, don't blame it, don't blame it!"

"Don't dare!" Xu You turned sideways and said respectfully: "Please go first!"

The monk saluted and walked away. One of the two young monks following him, with his temples as cut as a knife, his eyebrows as ink painting, his face as peach blossoms, his eyes flowing, and his charming look. He was no less than Gu Yun, who looked even better than a woman.

If Gu Yun is the flower of spring dawn, this monk is the moon of Mid-Autumn Festival, with a bald white dress, adding a bit of elegance. When passing by Xu You, he nodded with a smile, and was extremely calm.

When the monks left, Xu You asked, "Is it Zhu Fayan?"

He Ru shook his head and said, "No, Zhu Fayan is younger than this old bald donkey!" If Xu You hadn't stopped him just now, he would have to preach to the old monk, and he would not be polite now.

Zuo Qi blamed himself: "It was me who was negligent and was approached by someone, but I didn't notice it."

Since the last time he was poisoned, his life was hanging on the line, and Zuo Fu has damaged his energy. After so long, his skills have not returned to his old views. However, today Xuehou is talking loudly again, and people pass by each other from time to time, without paying special attention to behind him. It is indeed a bit embarrassing to let the three monks hear the slander.

"No one can listen to it seriously, Feng Hu doesn't need to blame himself!" Xu You comforted him, then turned his head and said, "Winter Solstice, remember the appearance of that handsome monk and check his origin another day!"

He Ruqi said: "Why didn't I find a handsome monk? Qilang, do you want to imitate Long Yang?"

Dongzhi was strange in her heart, but she also knew that He Ru was joking. Xu You was not as good as Long Yang, and said, "No, I will check it tomorrow!" No matter what, checking the handsome man, even a monk, is always a pleasing thing.
