Golden Greenery

When I returned to the Central Plains, more than 80 years had passed since I left. This time, Yang Yi did not return from the Western Regions. He took a sea boat and set foot on the land of Song Dynasty from Hangzhou again.

After bidding farewell to the Earl of Deport, the sheep wandered aimlessly in Europa for a year, and then went to the great city of Rome to the south, where he met a Byzantine scholar named Gavras.

Gavras was asked by the sheep’s extremely deep soul three times: Who am I? Where am i from What am i doing? Deeply attracted, and cited as fellow people, talked happily with each other.

So Gavras kindly invited the sheep to Constantinople. He said that the world you see before your eyes is an illusion. If you want to see the nature of the world clearly, you must ask the soul and the universe.

When the sheep asked him how to follow up, Gavras said: Go read a book and find the answer in the book.

Yang Yi was so impressed, so he followed Gavras to Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire.

Byzantium is the name of later generations, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire. Byzantium continued the culture of ancient Greece and Rome, admiring philosophy, astronomy, geometry, and so on.

The two walked from Rome to Constantinople for more than a month, and a month of conversation on the road made the sheep easily miss the stuffing. Gavras found that he was neither a scholar nor profound at all.

However, as an aristocratic gentleman with a deep understanding of etiquette and cultivation, and a senior cultural man, Gavras was still very gracious and trustworthy and introduced Sheep One to the Byzantine Imperial Library, and then Sheep One never disappeared. Saw him.

The Imperial Library is also called the Serdon Library of Constantinople. There is no doubt that it is the largest library in the world today. The Serdon Library contains almost all classics from ancient Greece to ancient Rome to the present, which is very comprehensive.

In this respect, the Central Plains is indeed inferior to the West. The Central Plains has the Jingjing Pavilion and Cangshu Pavilion, but it does not have a library facing the public.

Although the Serdon Library is only open to the Byzantine nobles, civilians will be hung up and beaten with whips when they enter, and the self-proclaimed “duke” of the sheep does not work here. However, Gavras is the philosophy and history teacher of the Byzantine emperor and Empress Zoe, and his recommendations are very useful.

Yang Yi lived in the library for six years.

Although he is not a nobleman, and the recommender Gavras never showed up again, the sheep has money. Money can make ghosts grind, and it can buy library officials.

It took six full years. Once the sheep read all the books in the Xidun library, he couldn’t understand most of them at all. They just bite the bullet and turned page by page like a dog looking at the stars.

Even so, he watched it for six years. The Xidun Library is really big. After six years, Yang Yi felt that he was full of wisdom, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had not remembered anything except some, anecdotes, and licentious history.

Of course, there is no discovery, no way to ask the origin of the world. who am I? I still don’t know.

But he still felt that Old Master Gavras was right, and there must be nothing wrong with reading more books. Therefore, the sheep, whose time has no meaning, decided to spend a hundred years reading all the books in this world.

As soon as the sheep left Constantinople, he went to read elsewhere. He didn’t know that he was the only person in the history of mankind who turned over all the books in the Shalton Library, not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented.

On the day he left, the Librarian of Seton shed sad tears.

In the next two decades, the sheep passed through Persia, where it is now the Seljuk Empire established by the Turks. I went to the original Tianzhu, where it was even more chaotic. There were more than a dozen large and small countries, and the sheep couldn’t even remember their names.

Then the Three Buddhas, Khmer, and Champa were very close to the Central Plains. Of course, there will not be a library along the way. The places where most books are stored are usually temples, so the sheep will visit the temples one by one.

When the monks let him watch, he would watch it quietly, and if not, he would take out the money to give alms, and then watch it slowly. It would be very unreasonable to pay for it and not let it be watched, so he can only fight. After the fight, the monks will kindly invite him in and take care of the fast food.

In Champa Kingdom’s Juelin Temple, several old monks with advanced Buddhist teachings were beaten and cried by sheep. After he was convinced, Yang Yi asked the kitchen in the temple to cook first, and then walked into the Buddhist scripture building with his hands on his back.

Lying in the side room was an old monk who had become thinner than a firewood. He was so old that he was almost human. He had more air out than air in, and he was obviously passing away soon.

The old monk is old-fashioned. “Boy, if I can be sixty… seventy years younger, how can I allow you to be so presumptuous.”

Yang Yixin said: That’s not necessarily true. Do you know how old I live?

However, Yang Yi is always a kind person, and in the face of such an old monk who suffers from a desperate situation, he still shows a good face for the younger generation.

Not in a hurry to read, Yang Yi asked the old monk for a glass of warm water, and personally fed him to moisten his throat. In fact, the most important thing is that Yang Yi found that the old monk was a native of the Central Plains just like himself.

After passing the breath, Yang Yi talked with the old monk.

The old monk said that he was 98 years old this year, and Yang Yi felt that he might not stop there. His nickname is “Lingxiu”, and Yang Yi felt it was against him. However, Monk Lingxiu is indeed from the Central Plains, not a monk here, he is living here to place orders, this single hanging is forty to fifty years.

After intensively recalling, Monk Lingxiu remembered that his lay name was Yang Yande, who was the fifth son of General Yang Ye, the right leader of the Great Song Dynasty, and was called Yang Wulang. More than sixty years ago, he followed his father to fight against the Khitans of the Liao Kingdom under the command of the official infantry army.

The supervising army Wang Tong who did not understand the war blindly commanded Yang Ye and Yang Yande and his sons to fight, and ended up being surrounded by the Liao army on the Golden Sand Beach. Reinforcements from Pan Mei, both of South Korea’s public and battalions, were delayed, and eventually Yang Yeli was killed in battle and Song Army was defeated.

After dragging his life out of the dead pile, Yang Wulang shaved off his hair and ran into the Wenshu Monastery in Wutai Mountain in order to avoid the Khitan people. There, the frustrated Yang Yande was inspired by the Buddha, and in the end he really cut off the mortal dust and became a monk.

But I don’t know how the news was leaked. The Khitan people rushed to Wenshu Monastery to arrest him. Yang Wulang, who had not solidified the scars on his head, had to run away again, ran to Songshan in one breath, and entered Shaolin Temple with the letter of introduction from the abbot of Wenshu Monastery. , The magic number is brilliant.

Whether it’s Yang Wulang or Yang Yande, or Lingxiu monk, this life will be quite unlucky.

Among the monks of the “Ling” generation in Shaolin Temple, Lingxiu and his brother Lingmen have the best relationship. The two brothers have been like brothers for more than ten years. Lingmen, both civil and military, have advanced and profound Buddhism, and they are the successors that Shaolin Temple focuses on training. Lingxiu became a renunciation halfway through, and was a little confused. Fifty years ago, he took the younger brother Lingmen to peek at the peasant women to take a bath at the foot of the mountain, but was arrested by the master abbot Zhiyan.

Lingmen was punished to face the wall for one year, and Lingxiu did not face the wall. He was punished out of the temple for alms for ten years. The treatment of monks who focus on training and playing soy sauce is definitely different.

On the day he walked out of the mountain gate, the junior brother Lingmen cried very sadly, and he must come back. The younger brother is much younger than him, and he is actually coaxing the younger brother as his son.

Monk Lingxiu was not good at Buddhism, nor did his martial arts work after being seriously injured on the Golden Beach. After leaving the Shaolin Temple, he traveled all the way to the south for alms, because the south is more affluent and peaceful.

Six years later, he had spent a lot of money in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he was about to go back, but he was spotted by a villain named Jintai.

Although Jintai is very young, but martial arts is very powerful, Lingxiu is not an opponent at all, as a result, the silver from alms was robbed. UU Read www. uukanshu.com he was also chased to the sea.

Then his ship was overturned by wind and waves, and was finally rescued by a passing ship, but it was a pirate ship.

Pirates will not embarrass a monk, but Da Song navy will embarrass pirates. The pirate ship flees desperately to the south, not daring to dock at the port of Song Dynasty, so Monk Lingxiu also followed to the Champa country somehow. He was covered with injuries and the road was separated by mountains and rivers, lingering and panting, he never returned to the Central Plains.

Sheep One: “…”

The same people who fall into the Central Plains, why do they have met before. Yang Yishu did not read, and he chatted with Monk Lingxiu for four days with strong sympathy. On the fifth day, Monk Lingxiu passed away.

Before he died, he gave his salvation to Yang Yi and asked him to take it back to Shaolin Temple. Du Di is the identity certificate of the monk.

Monk Lingxiu asked Yang Yi to go to the Shaolin Temple to find his junior brother Lingmen, tell him his experience over the years, and then let the monks of the Dharma School of Shaolin Temple give him revenge and punish the thieves Jintai.

Sheep all agreed.
