Fayuan Temple was filled with people, and Lu Zheng discovered that there was a huge square here. There was a high platform on the square, which was fenced to block the wind and cold.

These high platforms are built by merchants from all walks of life, which is equivalent to temporary restaurants and restaurants. Of course, in Fayuan Temple, the food here is vegetarian, and the wine is only vegetarian. Even so, the wine shops built by these high platforms are also crowded and very lively.

Lu Ning was familiar with all this. He led Lu Zheng and Ying'er to find a relatively secluded platform to sit in. As soon as he sat firmly, he heard a loud noise in the square.

Before Lu Ning could sit down, he stood up and said, "Wow, third brother, look over there, it is Princess Qian's sedan chair of Prince Qian's palace. Princess Qian is here to burn incense!"

Lu Zheng looked towards the square in shock, and indeed saw many people gathering in a sedan chair towards the square. This was a crimson official sedan chair with a very eye-catching spire. The four corners of the sedan chair were raised high, making it look very graceful and luxurious.

Lu Zheng did not see the royal logo from the appearance of the sedan chair, and he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, how do you know that it is Princess Qian's sedan chair?"

Lu Ning smiled softly and said, "Is that not easy? Look at the man riding a tall horse behind the crimson sedan? That person is Dai Shizhang, does Dai Xiang's son know?

Whenever the temple fair, where Princess Qian goes, Dai Shizhang will definitely appear there, which will prevent other people from seeing the princess’s style..."

"Slow down, brother! It seems a bit messy. Didn't you say Dai Shizhang is very interested in Li Qianqian? How can he get involved with Princess Qian?" Lu Zheng said.

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Third brother, can he still be infatuated with locusts like Dai Shizhang? Everyone who likes Princess Qian in the capital knows that Princess Qian is very rude to him, but the more he is like this, the more he has to do everything possible to get close to Princess Qian. Do you think this person has a quirk?

There are still rumors recently that His Highness the King of Qin intends to marry Princess Qian to the Dai family. Tsk, tsk, once this news comes out, can Mr. Dai not be more enthusiastic?"

Long Qian, the princess of the Qin Prince's Mansion, is more beautiful than a flower and has a hot temperament. She is a famous girl in the capital and a goddess in the hearts of thousands of talented men!

When Princess Qian comes, it will naturally cause a huge commotion. However, Dai Shizhang, the flower protector, has a disgusting face, which makes the talented men very afraid. However, even so, the square is full of people.

"Third brother, we won't think about this princess in this life. If you and my brother are realistic, think about the top girls in the eight great halls. If they can win their favor, hehe, that's a good story!" Lu Ning grinned.

Ying'er, who was standing beside him, rolled her eyes at him, and Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Brother, you are the only one I have seen in my life who can speak prostitution-prostitution so well."

"Haha..." Lu Ning smiled awkwardly. He tidied up his long gown and said, "It's a waste of a young man! You and my brother are in poor family background, so they can only compete for a romantic relationship with a little talent. It's a pity!"

Lu Zheng said: "According to the elder brother, who is the most enviable family in the capital?"

Lu Ning said: "If you want to say that it is the most enviable, it is naturally the son of the top wealthy family like the Su family and Duan family. In addition, the Dai family cannot be underestimated.

Just talking about Dai Shizhang, if you are talented, you may be worse than me, Lu Ning. But look at me, can you and my brother do it?

There is also the girl Li Qianqian, who is a relationship with either a prince or a royal family or a Su family, and a scholar like us who came from a small family, how could she be attracted to her?

Among the famous socialites in the capital, there are also the young ladies of the Su family and Duan family. Tsk tsk, they all need to be of equal status. How can a beautiful woman be favored by a background like you and my brother?"

Lu Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Brother, did I hear that my sister-in-law is not a lady of the Su family?"

"Uh..." Lu Ning showed a strange look on his face. He coughed twice and said, "That... I won't mention my sister-in-law, I won't mention my sister-in-law, uh..."

"Hehe!" Ying'er, who was originally angry, couldn't help laughing when she saw Lu Ning's appearance.

At this time, another climax occurred in the square. A lady's sedan chair in the Su family came, and a lady's sedan chair in the Duan family also came. Then, Li Qianqian, the first courtesan in the capital, arrived.

Li Qianqian's sedan chair became unusual in style. She was a big red sedan chair and fell outside the square. Then she got off the car and walked across the square.

From a distance, the woman was wearing white fur, with a silver basin, a tall figure, and a swaying figure. She was surrounded by more than a dozen maids and women, and there was also a man in strong clothes to protect him. The square caused countless commotions. At this time, the bells in the temple rang and the gate of Fayuan Temple opened.

"It's open! Let's go, third brother, let's go burn incense too!" Lu Ning said loudly.

The gate of Fayuan Temple opened, and pilgrims poured in like a tide. It was obvious that not all of these pilgrims were devout believers. Like many talented men, they went to burn incense, probably just to see the style of the woman they like!

Lu Ning jumped off the platform and waved to Lu Zheng, "Third brother, hurry up, let's go in and burn incense too!" The crowds were full of people, and Lu Zheng was unwilling to join in the fun, so he said:

"Brother, go in first. My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Come in later, go there!"

Lu Ning nodded and made an appointment with Lu Zheng to meet at the time and place of meeting, and followed the crowd into Fayuan Temple. The scale of Fayuan Temple is extremely large, covering an area of ​​thousands of acres, with more than 1,000 monks, and a total of five halls for pilgrims to burn incense and worship.

Lu Zheng did not convert to the Buddhist family, and was very interested in burning incense, so he didn't want to join in the fun. Ying'er was originally crazy, but today, she was not very used to the enthusiasm of talented people from the northern part of the temple for her, and did not dare to step into the temple to burn incense. The master and servant walked around the corridor outside the temple and towards the east of the temple.

Fayuan Temple is isolated from the outside world with high red walls. Around the red wall is surrounded by a wide corridor paved with bluestone. Today, everyone is rushing to enter the temple. There are very few people like Lu Zheng who are purely exploring and exploring. Lu Zheng only walked half a mile around the outer wall of Fayuan Temple, and everything flew away and was completely clean.

Fayuan Temple is located in the prosperous place of the capital. Although the scenery is extremely beautiful, you can also see the prosperity of the capital. Lu Zheng and Ying'er slowly walked on the road paved with bluestone. Everything you see is prosperous, but the place you are in is quiet. This kind of experience Lu Zheng has never had before.

In the world of swaying, all living beings appeared in front of Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng seemed to be standing at a high place and watching all this. In this world, he was a bystander.

There is a mountain behind the Fayuan Temple. There is a big Buddha on the mountain. Lu Zheng could see the appearance of the big Buddha from afar. He suddenly had a thought in his mind:

"If the Buddha really has spirituality, the big Buddha on this mountain should be like me, standing on a high place to overlook the swaying world. With his Buddha nature, what do you see?"

As soon as Lu Zheng thought about this, he wanted to climb the mountain, surrounded the wall, and walked a long way, and gradually reached the foot of the mountain. At this time, a small gate led directly to Fayuan Temple. There was no one in the small gate, so Lu Zheng easily walked into the high wall.

After entering the high wall, you can climb up the stone steps at the foot of the mountain. There are no traces of people in this area. Lu Zheng walked a long way and turned around and saw the incense in the five halls of Fayuan Temple ahead.

I saw at least five rays of blue smoke circling up from the incense burning place in front of each hall. The blue smoke rose, covering the crowd and covering a lot of prosperity.

The higher Lu Zheng walked, he faintly heard the sound of the Buddhist sings coming from the mountain. The musical sings were low and heavy. It made Lu Zheng feel transcendent in his ears, as if his spirit had been refined and sublimated. He immediately restrained his mind, slowed down, and climbed up step by step.

When he arrived on the mountain, Lu Zheng discovered that there was a large open space here, and the big Buddha on the mountain was right in front of him. Looking at this Buddha statue, it was dozens of feet high, it was carved from a piece of raw stone on the mountain. Seeing the carving, it was exquisite and grand, the Buddha statue looked full of spirituality and lifelike.

Under this great Buddha, two rows of wooden row houses were built along the mountain. The row houses were made of wood, simple and simple, with the roof covered with thatch. The Sanskrit singing heard by Lu Zheng was heard from this row house.

It is the middle of winter now, and lay Buddhists occasionally come in and out of the row houses. These people are men and women, all wearing monk's robes. They occasionally look at Lu Zheng's master and servant curiously, but quickly constrain their eyes and keep their eyes on what they are doing. It seems that everyone is focusing on their own world.

When Lu Zheng saw this scene, he understood in his heart that the row house in the back mountain should be a place for lay Buddhists to live in. In the mundane world, there are many believers in Buddhism. They converted to Buddhism but did not take precepts before taking precepts. This is the so-called lay Buddhists.

These lay Buddhists usually have their own identities in the world. When they are free, they enter the temple to practice Buddhism. Some even live in the temple for several months. Now these houses are for their residences.

There are men and women, and there are two rows of houses, both men and women on the left and right. Lu Zheng has a little understanding of the Buddhist family in the capital. He knows that Fayuan Temple is a large temple granted by the royal family. Those who can be lay Buddhists here are probably not ordinary people. The Buddha said that all living beings are equal. In fact, even in the temples that worship gods and Buddhas, people are divided into different levels!

Lu Zheng thought to himself that if he wanted to live in Fayuan Temple as a lay Buddhist, he would probably have to spend a lot of effort!

After Lu Zheng had such thoughts in his mind, he had no interest in these lay Buddhists. He circled around the Buddha and when he turned to the back, he found that there were stone steps behind him. Following the stone steps upwards, is it the important road leading to the top of the mountain?
