I preached in the Six Dynasties

Chapter 349 Chang'an
The east wind blows the rain across the green hills, but I look at the grass and grass at the thousand gates.

Kawahara is surrounded by floating clouds, and the palaces and palaces are uneven.

In Chang'an City, under the mottled setting sun and gusts of east wind, a white horse ushered in.

The man on horseback, wearing Taoist robes, looked around with empty hands.

At the city gate, two warriors in armor changed their expressions when they saw him and looked at each other.

When the white horse approached, one of them stepped forward and asked, "Are you an upright Taoist?"

"No." The man on horseback smiled lightly.

The samurai was a little disappointed, he let out an oh, but didn't speak yet.

The Taoist priest on horseback said immediately, "He is an upright saint."

The two waiting warriors frowned and scolded the Taoist in their hearts.

"My emperor is hosting a banquet in the palace, please meet with the Taoist priest."

"lead the way."

The dignified sage on horseback was naturally Li Yu. He spoke very succinctly, and kept silent after two words.

In Chang'an City, different from the randomness of Bianliang, the planning and construction here are strictly based on the square as a unit.

From Xuanpingfang to the west, there are Yongningfang, Yonglefang, and Guangfufang in sequence, and then there is the central axis of Chang'an City running from north to south: Zhuque Street.

Exit the west gate of Xuanpingfang, and head south to the main road.There are three city gates in the east and west of Chang'an City. This road leads to Yanxing Gate in the east and Yanping Gate in the west, which is one of the main axes in the east-west direction.

The width of the road is comparable to that of Bianliang, twice as wide as the main street in the square, which is twenty feet long.

Although he had already seen the breadth of Bianliang City Street, Li Yu was still deeply shocked when he saw the main road of this famous city in the Six Dynasties.

This is no longer an ordinary street. If a ten-foot-wide Square Street is equivalent to two-way eight-lane streets, a twenty-foot-wide city street is equivalent to two-way sixteen-lane streets, and the Suzaku Avenue in front of you is fully fifty feet wide, it cannot be Compared with the driveway, it is like a vast square, leading to the Suzaku Gate of the imperial city in the north.

There are eleven north and south streets in Chang'an City, fourteen east and west streets, and one hundred and eight squares in the whole city, which are divided into east and west halves by Zhuque Street.

The palace city in the middle corresponds to four squares, and there are three squares in the east and west.

The four squares in the middle are small in scale, and only have gates on the east and west sides, so as to avoid violating the imperial spirit of Miyagi.

The road surface of Zhuque Street is all paved with stones, and there are drainage ditches about Zhangxu wide on both sides. Rows of pagoda trees, cypresses, willows, poplars, and ginkgoes are planted beside the street, all of which are more than a hundred years old. When all is done, the remaining canopy is still a giant.

Right now, the spring breeze is bringing warmth, the ice and snow are melting, and the streets are filled with clouds of ladies and gentlemen, cars and horses are connected, and it is extremely prosperous.

The Zhaoye Jade Lion carried him along with the guards to the Tai Chi Hall, the palace of the Tang Emperor.

Li Yu ignored the contempt of the two guards. In their view, Taoist priests are Taoists just like the Great Sage.

But Li Yu himself knew that he was short of his realm. Calling him a great sage was not to exalt himself, but to reach his realm.

This is an honest performance, enough to be worthy of the word serious.

How could these two guards understand.

Outside the gate of the inner city, there stood a Taoist priest who was as rich as jade and had clear eyebrows.

"Is this a decent Taoist?"

"No, it's a serious saint." The guards joked.

The Taoist's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said, "It's as it should be, fellow Taoist, please dismount."

After Li Yu dismounted, everyone realized that his horse had no reins.

Li Yu patted Yeyu Lion's mane and said, "Don't walk around outside the palace, wait for me to come out."

The horse hissed disdainfully and turned away.

Li Yu took off the wine bag from his waist, and cursed: "Beast, don't run around, or your legs will be broken."

The white horse rubbed against him obsequiously, nodded its head frequently, and even grinned.

Then, while the guards were stunned, they walked away with the wine bag in their mouths.

Li Yu smiled and said, "Haven't asked for advice yet?"

The Taoist said with a smile, "Li Chunfeng, the official official of the Qintian Supervisor of the Great Tang Dynasty."

"Long time, long time."

"Where."

The two blew to each other for a while, then walked into the Tai Chi Hall, and the gates of the palace opened one by one.

Standing on both sides are guards in red armor, who are Captain Yihui of the Tang Dynasty, who are in charge of guarding the palace.

Li Yu smiled and said, "In Chang'an City, people are very popular, as expected of the flourishing Tang Dynasty."

Li Chunfeng also said with a smile: "Every year at the end of the year, Chang'an is the most densely populated. There are thousands of scholars rushing for the exam alone, and the number of servants and entourages they bring exceeds [-]. There are also officials from various ministries who return to Beijing to report their duties. Envoys from feudal towns and envoys from all over the world who come to celebrate the New Year’s pilgrimage, all the inns and hostels in the city are fully occupied, and it is hard to find a room.”

"Although the New Year has passed, these people have not returned, so they are still so dense."

Li Yu rolled his eyes and said, "The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Chang'an City is a vanity fair. I see that there are many Taoist priests and monks on the street. It seems that even Buddhism and Taoism are not immune to the vulgarity." what."

"This is also human nature. Since we are born as human beings, no one will fight and no one will rob."

After these words, Li Yu didn't continue to say anything, he knew it in his mind.

Daoism is not reconciled to being suppressed by Buddhism.

Especially the methods of Buddhism are a bit despicable.

Daoists upheld their loyalty to the Emperor Tang, and did not conceal the matter of the Empress, nor did they brag about it.

But the Buddhists said some illusory words, deliberately making His Majesty think that they can eliminate the empress's destiny to ascend the throne.

And through this, they realized the pattern of suppressing Taoist sects and dominating one family.

Soon, entering the Tai Chi Hall, there were not many people in the hall, Li Yu looked it over, and there were only fourteen people except the guards.

Li Yu noticed that once inside, the guards changed again.

These guards have a long breath, and they are much more powerful than the captain Yihui outside.

This should be Datang's Tiance Army, which belongs to Li Shimin's confidant Tiance Mansion.

He walked into the hall, looked up, bent slightly and said, "Li Yu, I have seen His Majesty the Tang Emperor."

The emperor in front of him was very in line with Li Yu's expectation, it was exactly what he thought.

Long Zhangfeng posture, dignified appearance, just looking at the appearance, is also a very outstanding person.

The word Li Yu was no stranger to the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone looked at him, and to be honest, they were a little disappointed.

This man, he is too ordinary.

It is completely different from what everyone imagined.

A person who can cause such a big disturbance can be handsome and handsome, or he can be high-spirited, tall and tall.

But he was so ordinary, like an ordinary Taoist priest in an ordinary Taoist temple, without a trace of immortality.

Everyone couldn't help muttering in their hearts, how did they hook up with Er Qiao.

However, Li Shimin is not an emperor who judges people by their appearance. His mind is not comparable to that of ordinary people. It is said that Li Yu killed several monks. Treat each other with courtesy.

"This is the orthodox sage? Come on, give me a seat!"

Li Yu was at the gate of the city just now, and he considered himself an upright sage, but Li Shimin already knew about it at this time. It can be seen that he has many eyes and ears, and he transmits news quickly.

"Mr. Zhengjing entered Chang'an one by one, which shows his sincerity. We don't talk about other things today. We only eat wine and dance, watch songs and dances, and clean up the dust for him. Tomorrow, I will have a long talk with him all night."

"Li Yu obeys the order."
-
After the imperial banquet, Li Yu followed the guards to the Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yu glanced at the backyard of Honglu Temple, brightly lit.

It is now shortly after the New Year, and the envoys from various countries should not have withdrawn yet.

Li Yu didn't want to live in this place, he smiled and said to the guards who came to escort him: "You go back and report, I will go to Xuandu Temple to stay temporarily."

Xuandu Temple is a famous Taoist temple in Chang'an City of Tang Dynasty.

When he came, the officer had ordered that all the requirements of the Taoist priest be fulfilled as much as possible.The guard thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sir, please go ahead."

Xuandu Temple is located in the west of the southern section of Zhuque Street, and adjacent to Daxingshan Temple in Jingshanfang in the east.

Daxingshan Temple is the ancestral court of "Esoteric Buddhism", one of the "Eight Schools of Buddhism". The most outstanding disciple in the temple has just been killed, and he has a bitter hatred with Li Yu.

But Li Yu wasn't afraid at all, he was afraid that the Buddhist sect would not come to kill him now, as long as they dared to do something, they would definitely anger Li Shimin.

You will end up angering Li Shimin, so don't even think about staying in Chang'an.

Moreover, Li Yu didn't think that someone in Daxingshan could kill him.

As long as you can't kill him once, you can restore it infinitely. Li Yu holds the water word formula in his hand, full of confidence.

When I came to Xuandu Temple, it was already late at night, and a little Taoist priest came out after knocking on the door.

"Li Yu from Bianliang Zhengjingmen, come to stay overnight."

"Wait a minute, I'll report."

After a while, a few Taoist priests with steady breath came out from the Xuandu temple, they should all be monks.

They glanced at Li Yu and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoists are here, and we welcome you from a distance, please come in quickly."

"You are welcome to stay here." Li Yu smiled back, then entered the Taoist temple, found a room with clean clothes, and put it together to rest.

Inside the Taoist temple, it is very clean, especially at night.

Looking out through the window lattice, the bright moon is hanging high in the sky.

Li Yu rested his hands on his pillow, crossed his legs, and began to think about how to deal with Li Shimin.

The samurai Xun is in Jiannan Road, and now he doesn't know what his official position is. Anyway, in his impression, he is not a petty official.

He has three daughters, the youngest of which is Wu Meiniang, whose name is unknown now.

You can't tell Li Shimin about these things, otherwise, with Li Er's decisive attack, the Wu clan might be wiped out directly.

Alas, being an emperor is so tiring, it's a woman's job.

Little Mei Niang, you better give us the family fortune.
-
Daming, Jinling, Xue Mansion.

In the dark courtyard, several guards fell to the ground, the door was covered, but there were voices coming from inside.

Xue Pan looked at the accounts and was furious.

Their family's business has long been controlled by these moths, and they have so many transactions with the Tartars behind their master's back.

The money earned is dozens of times more than the handed in.

Jiang Jing smiled and said, "Now you believe it."

Behind them, Zhang Sanfeng didn't say a word, he just glanced curiously.

Tartars want so many things, what on earth are they going to do?
A chill hit his heart, Zhang Sanfeng frowned, would they want
It has been a long time since the alien race invaded, and the strong man bullied the small countries around him really hard.

For a long time, when they saw the Han army, they trembled with fear.

Now the big Han is divided into six, and some of the countries are not equipped with complete military equipment, so that these alien races outside the customs have a heart of disobedience again?
You know, before the big man, they were very powerful.

Especially among the alien races in the northern desert, there are countless masters of shamanism, who often go south to harm the Central Plains.

Jiang Jing closed the ledger and said, "What are you going to do?"

In the final analysis, this is the Xue family's family matter, and it is up to Xue Pan to make up his mind in the end.

"Brother Li Yu said, if we don't eradicate these people, let them communicate with foreigners, and sooner or later my whole family will be killed." Xue Pan thumped the table and said, "They must all be eliminated."

Zhang Sanfeng stepped forward and said, "Okay!"

Jiang Jing tugged at him, and said, "We might as well go back to rescue the soldiers first. After all, we have only three people."

One of the three was given for nothing, and Jiang Jing was too embarrassed to say it.

Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said: "It's okay, you don't need to work on Master."

With suspicion on his face, Jiang Jing glanced at the apprentice who was in charge, and felt that this young man was a little drifting.

He seems overconfident.

Zhang Sanfeng didn't seem to see Jiang Jing's suspicious eyes, and said lightly, "How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer."

Xue Pan was a sharp person, clapping his hands and saying, "Okay! Let's clean up the house!"
-
Tianzhu, the pure land of the West.

A monkey ran wildly with a bald head on its back.

"Buddhas are fake, they are all fake."

There are no more Buddhas in the Buddha Land.

Jin Chanzi laughed loudly, and scolded the monkey behind his back: "You still laugh, you are so energetic, why don't you come down and walk by yourself."

Jin Chanzi said: "Isn't it funny, the Buddha in the Buddha Land is fake."

"Sakyamuni is a fake, Kassapa is real, you killed him, and you are still in front of so many Buddhas, isn't that courting death?"

"As long as you run fast enough, they can't do anything to me."

As soon as the words fell, a big handprint was photographed, and the monkey moved nervously, hiding between the fingers.

The ground collapsed a hundred meters, and the huge pit caused the earth to tremble, and countless creatures were killed, as if it was the end of the world.

Jin Chanzi didn't seem to be affected at all, he kept clapping his hands, "So scheming, so clever, so shameless. Turn into a Buddha to destroy Buddha, doves occupy magpie's nest, enslave monks, pollute the pure land, kill people and punish their hearts."

The huge golden palm was photographed again, and the monkey's feet moved, sweating all over.

Jin Chanzi suddenly put away his smiling face, stared angrily, and roared to the sky.

With his hands facing back, a fire swastika flew out from his forehead, and he slapped his palms.

"I can beat a real Buddha, let alone a fake one. Although the deity has not fully recovered, you are worthy of messing with a fake one!"

With a bang, a huge circle of light exploded in the sky, creating a layer of ripples, and the surrounding trees, mountains and rivers were all destroyed.

The sky and the earth are discolored, and the sun and the moon have no light.

Jin Chanzi laughed loudly, "Come on! Come on!"

The golden color in the sky disappeared slowly, the monkey stopped and watched the 'Buddha' recede slowly.

He was afraid, Jin Chanzi's power was not much worse than his golden handprint.

The monkey let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Finally gone, like a mad dog, chasing me for thousands of miles."

Jin Chanzi said with a smile: "This time we are outnumbered, and we are deeply rooted, so we didn't think about it. Let's go back and find a few helpers, and we will go back to the west from the Eastern Land step by step, and kill them all."

The monkey raised his eyes and said, "I have a question, can my old grandson not come?"

"No."
