Chapter 1,398 Buddhist Meeting

Xibawen's home base was in Jishi, a place where security knives were abundant in later generations. When the Xia Kingdom still had influence on the Qingtang Dynasty, Jialiang was also named the Jishi Army Jiedushi by the Xia Kingdom to do the work of winning over Xixia.

.

Xibawen was very influential in that area, and "many Qiang people from Henan returned there." From the blind expedition to kill his uncle, Xibawen keenly saw the weakness of the Qingtang Dynasty, and no longer provided weapons to Ali Gu.

Therefore, the aftermath of the incident of Xi Zheng's killing of his uncle was huge, which made Ali Gu very passive. Seeing that Xi Zheng was still unrepentant, he couldn't help but look at him with cold eyes.

Blind Zheng was frightened by his father's eyes. He quickly lowered his eyes and reached out to support Mrs. Qiao.

Aligu's younger brother Nannazhi quickly advised: "In front of the temple, don't talk about fighting and killing. Go in quickly and pay respect to the master."

When the four of them walked to the temple, they saw many monks and craftsmen holding rectangular pieces of wood and carving blocks.

The entire temple, besides cigarettes, is filled with the aroma of wood.

The official text of the Qing and Tang Dynasties was Tubo script. Starting from Zunsiluo, the written texts of the governments of the Qing and Tang Dynasties and the Song Dynasty were all in Tubo script, which was called "Tibo script".

Seeing several people approaching, Yi Xiyang put down the carving knife and wooden board in his hand and came up to salute the four of them.

After Qiao returned the gift, he said to Yi Xiyang: "Why did the master engrave the block himself? Wouldn't it be better to leave it to the people below?"

Yixi Yangheshi said: "Senior brother sent from Shuangta Temple the Tubo scriptures found in Xizhou Buddhist Cave. I am afraid there are not as many as a thousand scrolls. However, the reprinted medium was too weird and difficult to preserve, so the old monk had to

Mobilize the monks and craftsmen and work together to make an impression as soon as possible."

"Huh? What kind of weird method is this?" Ali Gu was very wary. Hexi already belonged to the Song Dynasty, and the writing from there should not be taken lightly.

Yeshiyang didn't seem to notice this, and led the four people to the table: "That's it."

The scriptures were written on a smooth and transparent thin board, which was neither porcelain nor jade, but somewhat similar to leather. Yi Xiyang turned it over, covered it with a piece of linen paper, clamped it on a shelf, dipped it in vermilion ink and faced it to the sun.

Then you can trace it based on the writing on the plastic board below.

After tracing, apply thin glue on the sutra board, and ask the disciples to come over and take down the copied sutras. One person holds the two corners of the copied sutras, carefully sticks them to the wooden board, and says, "This is how we can start.

Engraved."

Ali Gu breathed a sigh of relief: "This is very convenient. It is a major event of the Qing and Tang Dynasty that the ancient scrolls can be preserved in Jingangya Temple. I will donate 500 kilograms of butter and 200 pieces of silk to replenish the temple and wrap the scriptures.

.”

Yeshiyang quickly thanked him.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Qiao said: "My husband is not in good health yet. Although Master is busy, I still want to ask Master Ken to hold a prayer meeting for my husband."

Yi Xiyang said: "Since Madam has this intention, the old monk should do his best and use the Dunhuang scriptures he obtained from his senior brother this time."

Qiao looked into Yi Xiyang's eyes: "It's not just about praying, it's also a Buddhist meeting. I want the master to come forward and summon the chiefs, relatives, and children of all the Qing and Tang tribes to come and listen to the scriptures. What does the master think?"

"

Yeshiyang raised his head: "Which tribes do you want to summon, madam?"

Qiao said one by one: "Xinmo Qinzhen, Wenxixin, Xibawen, Luzun, Jieyaomi, Axing, Li Chilaqin, Hanuo, Zhugu, Longyuzan, Mozheng"

.”

These were all the great chiefs of the Qing and Tang Dynasties. Xinmu Qinzhen's tribe lived on the shores of Qinghai Lake. They had always had dissatisfaction with Dong Xiang and blindly attacked the Southern Jiangsu Party. He was the biggest beneficiary.

Needless to say, Wen Xixin occupied the Miaochuan gate, made it clear that he wanted to vote for the Song Dynasty, and was mainly supported by Lin Bubi, which was a bit of a coercion of the prince to control the princes. He also had the support of the Song Dynasty behind him.

Xibawen's base was Jishi City in the south, one of the four major cities in the Qing and Tang Dynasties, but he took in Duzhuo Luojie, the son of Dang Zheng in southern Jiangsu.

The tribes that practice medicinal secrets in the upper reaches of Hezhou also have ulterior motives.

Lu Zun was the city guard of Kuozhou, and he was in alliance with Xibawen, and they jointly occupied the area south of the Yellow River.

These people were all people whom Ali wished he could get rid of quickly. As for the rest of the chiefs, most of them were vacillating and attached themselves to whoever was more powerful.

Yi Xiyang was shocked, something big was going to happen in Qingtang.

Qiao asked: "How?"

Yeshiyang did not dare to hesitate any more. With Ali Gu's cruelty, if he dared not agree, hundreds of monks and believers in Jingangya Temple would not survive today.

He quickly bowed and said, "Since Madam is so kind, how can the old monk not be happy? How about I send a letter to the chiefs and summon them to Qingtang City?"

Mrs. Qiao's expression softened and she smiled and said, "It's so good. Master, I think they must be very happy to call you."

But things changed far beyond Yeshiyang’s expectation. Not only did Ali Gu watch him write the letter, but he also watched him seal it and put the fire seal of Jingangya Temple on it. Ali Gu also did not let Yeshi

Instead of sending people from the central government, use your own people.

Soon, the monks who had gone out to buy things also came back, saying that the prince's guards were guarding the temple gate, and they would take over if there was any need. No one in the temple was allowed to go out.

Yeshiyang sighed and Heshi said: "If you don't want to go out, don't go out. I hope Buddha can bless this land. These children of disputes are all his followers."

Disciple Alingjing gave Yi Xiyang a cup of milk tea: "Master, don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to Jingangya Temple."

Yeshiyang took it: "Don't worry about these things. Studying the Buddhist precepts carefully and spreading the Dharma to the world are what we should do. The chiefs from all walks of life will arrive soon. The prayer flags on the cliff are really too shabby."

Alingjing said: "Master has been reluctant to use the nine-foot, five-piece wind-horse dragon flag sent by Miaochuan. How about hanging it up this time?"

Yeshiyang nodded: "Well, let's go and tell the prince first that the chiefs of the various roads are coming soon. We are going to repair the Jingangya Temple. We need some cinnabar, colored paint, and copperware to be polished. Some wooden doors and windows need to be polished.

If it needs repairing, ask him to send some skilled craftsmen over."

Alingjing was a little confused: "Master, didn't you ask us to support ourselves as much as possible before? If we don't accept offerings, don't we accept them?"

Yi Xiyang sighed again: "Alingjing, if someone thinks we are a threat, we have to reassure them. This is the ancestral home of Xialu Dharma, and it is the mission of us successors to protect it."

Aling Jinghe said: "Disciple understands."

After receiving the request from Jingangya Temple, Qiao and Ali Gu finally felt completely relieved. They generously allocated the best craftsmen, purchased the wood and paint needed to repair the temple, and paid a sum of money.

Within a few days, Jingangya Temple was renovated, and brand-new prayer flags were floated on the tall flagpole behind the temple. The prayer flags were so gorgeous that all the monks and believers coming and going couldn't help but pay homage.

Because Jingangya Temple is the ancestral temple on the lower road, many people come to listen to the scriptures, so a small market is formed around it.

Luoyang Dorje ran a salt caravan and a Datongpu shop to receive pilgrims.

Seeing the large prayer flags floating behind the temple, Luoyang Dorje said to the guys: "It's time to buy green salt. Feed the horses today, and then go to the prince's water mill to see if there are rice cakes and bran cakes for sale.

, if you don’t have it, just buy two hundred kilograms of beans and pound them into powder and feed them directly, it would be too wasteful.”

The guys agreed and went, Luoyang Dorje then returned to the inn, cleaned up, then entered the inner room, wiped the sword and maintained it, took the bow, inspected it again, and hung the string.

…

The news about Qingtang soon spread to Lanzhou. Li Xian received a message from Wen Xixin and heard that Wen Xixin took his eldest son Jolemastobu to Jingangya Temple. He couldn't help but became very anxious and immediately sent a telegram.

Xingzhou and Bianjing City seek advice.

Zhao Xu summoned the ministers to discuss the matter.

Everyone has different opinions.

The first is the Military Aircraft Department. The Military Aircraft Department believes that Ningxia has only been stable for two years. If it is not followed step by step and takes Miaochuan first, builds a city and then suddenly takes Qingtang, Qingtang will be difficult to defend.

First of all, it is four hundred miles from Bingling Temple in Hezhou to Qingtang City. The road is very difficult and dangerous, making it difficult to support.

Secondly, the terrain of Qingtang is dangerous. If they break bridges and block passes, even if they have a million troops, they will not be able to advance hastily. If they enter with a lone army and there are no reinforcements, something will happen.

However, if we want to send a large army to enter, the local food supply in Qingtang, Zongge, and Miaochuan will be insufficient for a month, and transshipment from the interior is too wasteful.
