Chapter 18 Master Zhang's Song of Cake Cake

After Zhao Tianlong returned to his residence, he was thinking whether he should ask Zhang Jianxi to do something, but in the end he decided not to do anything.

The next day, Zhao Tianlong announced early that everyone didn't need to move. According to the location in the decree, he designated a piece of land on Longhu Mountain, and took his brothers and sisters back.

Zhang Ruoxu didn't expect that the matter would be solved so easily. He was so happy that he suddenly became envious of Tongchen Temple's powerful power and quickly sent him a large number of gifts such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.

Zhao Tianlong smiled and accepted them all.

Zhang Jianxi watched with resentment as Zhao Tianlong and others prepared to return to Tongchen Temple.

Zhang Ruoxu looked at her and stroked his beard: "Daughter, why don't you catch up?"

Zhang Jianxi looked at his father in a blink of an eye, a smile suddenly appeared between his brows and eyes, he nodded, and ran over.

With the arrival of the imperial decree, after a few days, people came and went to Longhu Mountain, and the craftsmen worked day and night, and it was no longer the quiet and secluded place before.

……

In the tenth year of Ding'an, Shi Cunyuan, the prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, went to pray for the country and built seven altars in beautiful places.

After the emperor readily agreed, people all over the world complained. Scholars said that Emperor Ding'an was a foolish emperor and Shi Cunyuan was a traitor.

Each of these seven altars is hundreds of feet tall, taller than some of the lower peaks, so one can imagine how large the project is.

Although the life of the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty was relatively prosperous, they could not support such a large project, and the ensuing labor labor used a total of tens of thousands of people, and the amount of tax levied continued to increase.

Throughout the whole week, Shi Cunyuan was scolded. When scholars gathered, apart from writing lyrics and drinking, they scolded traitors together.

In contrast, Tongchen Temple is very prosperous, and Tongchen Taoist Temple can be seen everywhere.

There is a Dragon King Town outside Xiangyang City. Following the truce between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Golden Tent Kingdom, this Dragon King Town has become a resting place for border merchants.

On this day, with the continuous travel from south to north, the town was full of turmoil, with donkeys braying and horses neighing, and the sound of people and cars interspersed.

There is a hill at the north head of Longwang Town, where the Dragon King Temple is located.Because it coincides with the day of burning incense on the first day of each month, a large number of pilgrims rush there one after another.

This Dragon King Temple used to enshrine the Dragon King Lord, which is very effective.Now that the Tongchen Temple is very powerful, the local gentry changed the Dragon King Temple into the Dragon King Temple, and Tongchen Temple sent a Taoist priest to preside over it.

The scenery here is very good, with flowers blooming next to it, and there is a clear stream at the foot of the mountain. Pilgrims who are tired from walking rest by the stream.

There were about a dozen pilgrims, three or four of them were dressed in robes and square scarves. They looked like scholars and scholars, and they were clearly scholars.

These scholars looked very young.A man with the appearance of a scholar holding a folding fan said: "Brother Ye, the weather has been very good since the beginning of spring. Why don't we go to Fucheng to study together? I heard that the emperor issued an order to recruit talents from all over the world. We are useful people, and it's time for the Tartars to raise their troops In troubled times, one should repay the imperial court with one’s body.”

That brother Ye was handsome, and he shook his head when he heard the words: "Nowadays, the imperial court is governed by traitors. Anyone who refuses to obey will either be beheaded or exiled. If they go to serve the court, they will be controlled by the traitor. How can we join forces with him? Or Keep your useful body in the mountains."

The other two scholars also agreed.

"What brother Ye said is true."

"That's right. The traitor is powerful and we must stay away."

When these scholars were discussing with each other, suddenly there was a cold snort from the side, and a thunderous voice sounded: "Haha, you scholars are really as cowardly as mice!"

Several scholars turned around and saw that they were furious. It turned out to be a tall monk.This monk was wearing a silk robe, with a beard and a ferocious appearance. He didn't know when he stood behind everyone.

"Fanjiao of Buddhism, how dare you appear at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain!"

"Rubber talk!"

"Monks don't abide by the rules!" All the scholars yelled angrily.

Hearing the insults from the scholars, the monk raised his beard in anger, waved his palms and gritted his teeth, looking like he was about to explode and hurt others.

A soft voice sounded: "Amitabha, calm down your anger quickly. Don't be angry anymore."

Silently, an old monk with white eyebrows stood behind the crowd, with long white eyebrows and a kind expression.

Standing next to the old monk was an old Taoist priest of about the same age, with a pale appearance and ethereal demeanor, which seemed to be a bit out of the world.

The old monk's words reached the bearded monk's ears, and the bearded monk took a few breaths and forcibly calmed down: "Yes, Master."

The old monk bowed to several scholars: "Amitabha Buddha. I have not practiced enough and violated the commandment of talking. The poor monk is called Sanxian and apologizes to all benefactors."

All the scholars saw that the old monk had an extraordinary bearing, not ordinary people, so they immediately returned the salute.No further pursuit.Several scholars continued to discuss Shi Cunyuan.

The old Taoist priest who came with Sanxian monk listened to the scholar's discussion, but smiled slightly.

Monk Sanxian wondered: "Brother Zhang, why are you laughing?"

The old monk and the old Taoist are two well-known masters in the Jianghu. They are the Sanxian master of Shaolin Temple and the former head teacher of Zhengyi. Zhang Tianshi, who has been traveling abroad for many years, is one of the four martial arts geniuses, and his martial arts are all masters. .

Master Sanxian has been famous for a long time and is quite prestigious in the world.

Zhang Tianshi is a great master of his generation. He is not only accomplished in martial arts, but also in Taoist classics, Qimen and Five Elements, and even medical divination and astrology. He is proficient in all of them.

Zhang Tianshi talked eloquently: "This is just a ridiculous comment made by these ordinary people who don't know the sky and are a frog at the bottom of a well."

Monk Sanxian said: "Brother Zhang, what's your opinion?"

Zhang Tianshi said: "Today, Zhou and Jin are in opposition. Our predecessors have long had a prophecy and poem praising: Dian'an's surname is Zhao and his surname is Shi, and the rest of the ministers will pay homage to the emperor. Heaven will unify the real person, and the Dharma altar will become a more complete heir." This poem even illustrates the great merits and virtues of Shi Cunyuan!"

Master Sanxian wondered: "This Shi Cunyuan has done a lot of evil, why brother Zhang said that he has great merit, please tell the old monk quickly."

Zhang Tianshi smiled and said: "This poem is one of the cake cooking songs written by Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, the predecessors of the Tang Dynasty. Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang used the Zhouyi gossip to calculate the national fortune in the teahouse in Chang'an City. I didn't expect to count it together. He became addicted and got out of control. He actually calculated the fate of our China for more than 2000 years after the Tang Dynasty, until he was interrupted by the sound of cooking cakes outside the teahouse, so this book is called the Song of Cooking Cakes.”

He paused, and said: "Brother Sanxian, Dian'an's surname is Zhao and Shi, Dian'an, Dian'an, did Master Sanxian think of anything?"

Master Sanxian recited the move several times before blurting out: "Isn't it the Emperor Ding'an of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Zhang Tianshi smiled slightly and said: "That's right. This sentence means that Emperor Ding'an has no real power, and his surname Shi controls the great affairs of the court. The rest of the last sentence is next to the emperor. After Shi Cunyuan said, Emperor Ding'an may still not be able to control it." Great power, you can only be a puppet emperor for the rest of your life."

Master Sanxian sighed after hearing this; "It's sad, sad."

Zhang Tianshi continued: "Heaven will pay the real people one by one, and the Dharma altar will become a more complete heir. This sentence means that the world will be unified."

"Pindao used to think hard about the last sentence, but it wasn't until the imperial edict was issued two years ago that Shi Cunyuan presided over the establishment of seven altars to pray for the country, and he suddenly realized it."

"These seven dharma altars are all located in the place where the dragon's veins are located, and they must be of great benefit to the community. It can be seen that the person who chose the site is a real master! According to the normal situation, there is a dragon spirit rising in the Jinzhang Kingdom and Liaodong, but these seven orifices are It is to transfer this dragon energy, and there will be no more dragon energy in the land of barbarians, and they will not be able to enter my divine state from now on."

"It can be said to be the foundation of the great prosperity of China for thousands of years. Shi Cunyuan has completed this great event. Even if he did a lot of evil in the past, he has made great achievements."

Master Sanxian sighed: "So that's the case, but is the world really unified?"

Zhang Tianshi said sternly: "It is the unification! Therefore, Shi Cunyuan did many evil things, but he helped to unify the world and relieved the suffering of all people, so his merits are immeasurable. However, although the merits are immeasurable, the merits are not enough, which is also the sin of his many evil deeds."
