Chapter 34 Thin Snow Cars Entering Pingyang (2)

After watching the "monkey show", Zeng Baohua suddenly said with emotion: "For more than a hundred years, there has been little peace in the world, but these monks, all with fat heads and big ears and red faces, must be very popular incense in the temple. It is a world of difference from the poor Taoist priests who walk through the countryside and work as "barefoot doctors". They are really Taoist priests in the prosperous and troubled times."

After hearing Zeng Baohua's complaint, Guo Yanyi smiled without saying a word, but he was muttering in his heart. You are a Taoist family, so of course you are accusing monks and elevating Taoist priests. In my opinion, these monks and Taoists are not good birds!

When the monks invited the nobles from the Eunuchs to the mountain gate like stars arched the moon, Gu Mo came over and greeted him, and went to the temple to serve him. Zeng Baohua rode on his horse, looked up at the mountain gate archway above his head, and couldn't help but sigh: "This Huangjue Temple is really big, and the mountain gate is built three miles away from the temple gate."

"What? The mountain gate is three miles away from the temple gate?" Yan Xiaoyi was not only shocked, but then said angrily: "These bald donkeys have more and more skills in occupying mountains and land. Whenever there is a blessed cave, these bald donkeys will come and say that they have a destiny to be with me, or that I want to save everyone here, and then shamelessly occupy this place, and it is already there! It is indeed hateful!"

"The Buddhist scriptures say, 'No color and form, all true emptiness'. In the eyes of these monks, everything is nothing. In their eyes, the blessed land and cave heaven are no different from thatched huts in the valleys, so it is also safe to occupy." Zeng Baohua curled his lips and continued to criticize the monks at the entrance of Huangjue Temple.

The smile on the corner of Guo Yanyi's mouth became stronger. At this time, he was even more sure that the Duke Dewei should have given some of Haichanzi's mantras, and may have been the host of a certain sect in the Taoist sect.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. If you talk about it, these monks may not necessarily have a small piece of meat." Zeng Baohua looked at Huangjue Temple, which was half hidden and half-appeared in the towering mountains in the distance. He suddenly felt relieved and finally waved his hand, "Let's take advantage of the day before it gets late to look around."

After walking around Huangjue Temple, Zeng Baohua and his party had just returned to the temple gate, but they met an acquaintance, Han Shun. He took the two of them and rode back on horseback, and his mood was a little hurried.

"Brother Han, where are you from?" Zeng Baohua, who could not avoid it, had to bite the bullet and greet him.

"Oh, it's Brother Hua. I'm a little uncomfortable. The doctor prescribed a few doses of medicine. I went to Hongdong County to get the medicine." Han Shun was full of surprise at first, as if meeting Zeng Baohua here was a destined marriage, and then spoke in that delicate tone.

These days, Han Shun comes to curry favor with Zeng Baohua when he has time, and he looks like he wants to give birth to Brother Hua immediately, which makes Zeng Baohua full of goose bumps. But these days, you can't say that he is sexually harassed you. In addition, he also comes to make friends with him in the name of his adoptive father Ambassador Jiang. He doesn't hit people with a smile on his face. It's really hard to refuse such a gift from others.

So Zeng Baohua was troubled, but he was a little helpless. Alas, he was still a person who was soft but not hard after all.

"Shun Ge'er is really three-point better than his own son's dear. This filial piety is really touching the world." Zeng Baohua exclaimed without any worries.

This is why people were favored by the old eunuch. They were so old and had no descendants. They looked miserable and lonely. As a result, there was such an adopted son who was filial and caring about his well-being, and he was more dedicated than a person selling health products. This relationship was definitely deeper than that of his own son.

Han Shun's mouth twitched a few times, but the smile on his face became stronger, "Yeah, treat me like a parent and child. I'm not so filial, it's worse than a pig or a dog."

After Han said a few words, Han Shun reluctantly said goodbye to Zeng Baohua and brought his men into the temple gate.

Zeng Baohua looked at his back, thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Xiao Yi, isn't the way to Hongdong located in the northeast of Huangjue Temple?"

"Yes, Brother Hua, Hongdong County is closest to this place, only thirty miles away, and is heading northeast of us."

"But Han Shun came from the south just now. What's there?"

Yan Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment and hesitatedly replied: "The Jinzhou City we passed is in the southeast. There seems to be no city in the south. I only heard that Jianxiong's army has a large camp in Guanshui Town there."

"Garage camp?" Zeng Baohua was stunned for a moment.

"Maybe Shun Ge'er didn't want to cross the Fen River, so she went directly to Guanshui Town in the south. It seemed that it was only ten miles away." Yang Chongyi couldn't help but speak.

"Maybe. To be on the safe side, Chongyi, you will take people out for inspection later, run away, focus on the south!" Zeng Baohua worked as the young leader in Maozhai Village for several years, and had long developed Jin Xiaoshenwei and doubted everything.

"OK."

Zeng Baohua and his group returned to their temporary residence, a separate small yard in the backyard of Huangjue Temple.

Arranged Dai Chengen and Xia Jinzhong to lead the Minzhuang camp outside the temple, and then arrange an inspection tour, asking Yang Chongyi to take a few people outside to inspect. Then, seeing that it was still early and there was nothing to do on the left, Zeng Baohua called Guo Yanyi and Yan Xiaoyi to go shopping in the temple.

Huangjue Temple is a Hedong Temple, built during the Wuzhou period of the Tang Dynasty, covering an area of ​​700 acres. It is built on the mountain, facing north and south, and facing high and high. The layout is standard left and right symmetry, with the central axis as the basis, and is the Heavenly King Hall, the Amitabha Hall, the Sutra Pavilion, the Bell and Drum Tower and the Daxiong Hall. On the east side are the Killing Wood Hall, the Zhengfa Hall, the Chai Hall, the Fragrance Kitchen, the Monk's House, etc. The west side is the Arhat Hall, the Ten King Hall, the Backyard, etc. It is majestic and majestic, and the weather is extraordinary.

After walking around, the three of them came to the main hall. It was the evening class time, and hundreds of monks sat upright in the hall and recited the Lotus Sutra in unison, "The so-called dharmas are like this form, like this nature, like this body, like this force, like this work, like this cause, like this cause, like this result, like this result, like this reward, like this ultimate root and end..."

Listening to the chanting of the Buddhist scriptures and looking at the towering and majestic Buddha statue, Guo Yanyi suddenly asked: "Brother Hua, I think you are also a well-read poet and book. You have learned Confucianism and Taoist classics, and you have even read Buddhist scriptures. What do you think of these three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism?"

Zeng Baohua was in front of him and led the two people to continue walking, coming to the back of the Buddha statue, avoiding the monks who were studying Buddhism and chanting scriptures in the main hall.

"If you want to criticize others for believing in the Lord, you will naturally avoid talking." Zeng Baohua said with a smile, "In my opinion, Confucianism is like a grain store, Taoism is like a pharmacy, and Buddhism is like a grocery store; Confucianism seeks gentlemen, Taoism seeks freedom, Buddhism seeks freedom; Confucianism abandons villains, Taoism abandons artifacts, Buddhism abandons troubles; Confucianism appears in etiquette, Taoism appears in truth, Buddhism appears in precepts; Confucianism holds in the environment, Taoism holds in the heart, and Buddhism's state of mind is both lost."

"Well said!" A sudden cheer came, which scared Zeng Baohua.

"Who is it? Come out!" Yan Xiaoyi's eyes showed fierce light and pressed the handle of the knife and scolded him.
