Daoist Abandoned Wisdom

Everyone looked serious, and no one spoke for a long time.Daozhen detains the injured Li Guibo, and several Taoists work together to set up an array in a small cell in the Jizhou prison, and lock Li Guibo inside.He was injured and had no magic weapon, so he could never escape.The rest is to find Faqing.

However, Wei Jun searched the city all night, but could not find any trace of Fa Qing.The Tianjie Temple was clean and there was no one there.How did he escape?Or, he is still here, but no one can find him.

The Wei army continued to patrol day and night, and the fighting in Jizhou City had just stopped, and the Taoists began to take turns to rest.

Tao Xinian woke up from sleep, it was already noon.He stretched his waist. During this period of time, he was restless every day, and finally got a good night's sleep last night.

Last night he slept in the room he rented in the city of Jizhou. All the living corpses were caught, and the Wei army took turns to patrol day and night. It was very safe, so he went back to sleep here, which is simpler than sleeping in Jiansu. Much better in Taoism.

Kicking something with his right foot, Tao Xinian looked towards his feet, and it turned out to be Ah Bo curled up in a ball.Abo stayed by Lu Yu's side yesterday, and he didn't know when he came back here.He pushed Abo lightly, Abo wiped the drool from his mouth, and opened his eyes sleepily.

"Daozhang, are you hungry? I'll cook." After saying that, he jumped out of bed, shook the leaves, and went into the kitchen refreshed.

After a while he bounced back to his room, holding a food box in his hand, and said, "Someone has prepared food for us! It's still hot, Taoist priest, get up and eat quickly."

Tao Xinian was a little surprised. After thinking about it, it must have been sent by Yuan Yao.He remembered that he was the one who sent himself home last night, and then went to work on his affairs.Then he fell asleep and didn't know anything.

"When did you come back?" Tao Xinian slowly put on his clothes, got up and put on his shoes.

Abo pushed the table, took out all the food in the food box, and said, "I came down with Lu Yu this morning. I met a big bald donkey on the road. He said you were at home, so I came over." He chattered Complained, "I didn't sleep well last night, just because I was afraid that something might happen to you, and I had to pick leaves and sacrifice myself to save you..."

"Come on, don't talk nonsense, eat first!"

After lunch, Tao Xinian tidied up a bit, went out, and walked towards the south of the city.

Thousands of soldiers were taking care of the mad patients, while Yuan Yao was standing aside, talking to Wei Jianjun.Tao Xinian also saw Lu Yu and Kou Huai. Lu Yu was pouring powdered medicine into a large medicine vat, and was dispensing medicine.

Tao Xinian walked towards Lu Yu and asked, "Brother Lu, are you making new medicine?"

Lu Yu raised his head, with a smile on his lips, and said: "Brother Kou found the madness medicine that Faqing gave them in Tianjie Temple. I already know his prescription, and now I am making a medicine that has completely opposite properties. After taking the medicine, find a few patients to try, if it works, you should be able to recover almost after taking it for three days."

Kou Huai said: "Brother Lu's medical skills are naturally beyond doubt, and he will be able to cure these crazy people."

Tao Xinian felt much better after hearing this, and walked briskly towards Yuanyao.Now that Faqing has failed to subdue the law, we should not take it lightly.And he also has some things he wants to know.

After Wei Yuan finished talking with Yuan Yao, he went to the camp in the south.Tao Xinian walked up to Yuan Yao, looked straight into those light brown eyes, and asked with a smile, "Yuan Yao, did you bring the food box today? Thank you very much."

"Yes. There are no ingredients in your kitchen, and there are no vendors in the city."

Tao Xinian was overjoyed, it turned out that he was so careful, and the time to deliver it was just right, the food was still hot, it must be... well, it must be because he knew he got up late.

Thinking of his reason for coming, he said, "I want to go to the scripture library of Tianjie Temple."

"What are you looking for?"

"All the news about Faqing. I think, maybe through clues, we can find out what the magic weapon in his hand is."

Yuan Yao nodded and said, "Go, I'll let Dao Zhen follow you."

Tao Xinian was a little surprised, he just wanted to go to the scripture library, so there was no need for Daozhen to follow him.But after thinking about it, it would be terrible if he ran into Faqing in Tianjie Temple, and it would be much safer with Daozhen by his side.Thinking about it this way, I feel that Yuan Yao is really careful.

Daozhen arrived soon, dressed in a green shirt, and saluted Yuan Yao neatly.Daozhen is about the age of Ruoguan, but the level of Taoism almost surpasses his master Xuanqing, Tao Xinian can't help but feel a little envious.If he had practiced Taoism early and had a master with powerful mana, he might be equal to Daozhen.

Yuan Yao confessed: "Daozhen, you go to Tianjie Temple with Taoist priest Tao, and make sure you two are safe. If something happens, please inform your master Xuanqing in time."

"Yes, General."

The two passed through the patrolling Wei Guobing and walked towards Tianjie Temple.Tao Xinian walked behind Daozhen, chatting casually: "Daozhen, when did you start cultivating Taoism? The Taoism is really brilliant, the blue is better than the blue."

Daozhen was a little embarrassed by the praise, and said: "Taoist Taoist is too much, compared with Master, Daozhen is far behind. I was picked up by Master. I grew up in Lingxu Temple, and I started to learn it when I was about three or four years old. , Compared with the senior brothers, the age to start learning Taoism is earlier."

No wonder.He asked again: "A few of you masters, why do you learn different ways of Taoism?"

"The path is chosen by each person according to their talent. The ancestor said that it is best to have a similar number of people in each way to learn the five elements in Guanli, so that the five elements can be carried forward. The wood way I learned, the master is the water way, and the brother is the fire road."

Tao Xinian was an eye-opener. It turned out that he could learn according to his talent.I don't know what kind of Taoism he should learn according to his talent.

He thought of Qingchen's old way of spreading beans into soldiers, and felt very interested. He decided to ask Qingchen for his advice when he went back, get some good wine, and let him teach him a few tricks.

They climbed up the pagoda of Tianjie Temple step by step, and heard that the scripture library was at the highest level of the pagoda.Daozhen is very vigilant, paying attention to the surrounding situation from time to time.Tao Xinian also held his breath and concentrated on listening carefully to the small sounds coming from around him.All the way without incident, they entered the ninth floor of the pagoda smoothly.

The pagoda on the ninth floor is full of various scriptures and records of monks entering the temple.Tao Xinian found Faqing's temple entry record according to the label, which said Faqing's mentorship, master Fahui, and master Daozheng.

He looked at it for a while, and always felt that there was a dharma name that was very familiar. Where did he see it?He scratched his hair and thought for a while, and after a while, he slapped the table and got up, and said, "Daozhen, please help me find a book called "The History of the Buddha Kingdom."

Dao really held his breath and looked around intently, suddenly he was taken aback, Tao Xinian smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I was surprised and scared you."

The two searched the bookshelves for a while, and found the book in a corner.Tao Xinian blew off the dust on it, opened the scroll, and the frontispiece of "Buddhist Kingdom Records" reads: "Fa Xian was in Chang'an in the past, and the law collection was incomplete. , Daozheng, Huiying, Huiwei, etc., went to Tianzhu to seek precepts..."

Tao Xinian's expression became excited.Sure enough, he remembered correctly, he had indeed seen this dharma name before, it was in "Buddhist Kingdom".

He had read this book a few years ago as a travelogue, and found it novel and interesting, but he didn't remember the details clearly.He sat on the ground and looked carefully from the beginning.

Daozhen sat beside him, looked at the content on it curiously, and asked: "Tao Taoist, what is written on it?"

Tao Xinian smiled and said: "This book records what Master Fa Xian saw and heard when he traveled to Tianzhu. If I guessed right, the master 'Daozheng' written in Master Fa Xian's "Buddhist Kingdom" is exactly Fa Qing's Master."

Tao Xinian looked at the book carefully, while Daozhen waited quietly at the side without disturbing him, just watching him quietly.Tao Xinian turned to the back and read: "Since Daozheng came to China, brother Shamen followed the law, and the monks were dignified, and things were impressive, but he lamented the incomplete precepts of the monks in the borderlands of Qin. He swore: 'Since now I have gone to the To attain Buddhahood, I hope that I will not be born in the frontier land.’ Therefore, I stopped and did not return. Faxian’s original intention was to make the precepts circulate in the Han land, so he returned alone.”

Tao Xinian put down the scroll and said to Daozhen: "It is recorded in this book that all the friends who went with Master Faxian died on the way, only Master Daozheng stayed in Balenfoy because he admired the local Shamanism .And Master Faxian's original intention was to pass the precepts back to the Central Plains, so he returned to his homeland alone."

Daozhen said: "The Dharma name of Master Daozheng is very similar to mine. Taoist Master Tao, is there any connection between Master Daozheng and Faqing's rebellion?"

The author has something to say: Fa Xian (334-420) was the first master in China to go abroad to seek Buddhist scriptures.The content of "The Story of the Buddha Kingdom" that appears in the article is indeed from his "The Story of the Buddha Kingdom", and a single word has not been changed, haha.Master Daozheng is indeed a fellow of Master Fa Xian. Of course, the fact that he is the ancestor of Master Fa Qing was just made up by someone.Rang Daozeng left Balenfoy, the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty in Magadha, and the largest city in ancient India, located in the lower reaches of the Ganges River. What you see and hear recorded in "Buddhist Kingdom" is very novel, comrades who are interested can go and have a look.

In addition, Faqing is a real person in history. He launched the Mahayana Buddhist uprising in June of the fourth year of Yanchang in the Northern Wei Dynasty (that is, the 14th year of Liang Tianjian, 515 AD). Li Guibo and Hui Hui are the accomplices recorded in history. Hui.Huihui is a nun and the wife of Faqing.As for Li Guibo, it is only recorded that he is from Bohai, so someone wrote him as a Taoist, haha.
