The night of revelry, is the true meaning of first fullmoon.
However in this year the lantern festival, they also had a good destination in daytime: Baima Temple!
Almost every Luoyang person knows that on this day the Luoyang Baima Temple will hold a grand Buddhist meeting, unprecedented big grand meeting. Therefore from early morning, one after some other people hurries to the Baima Temple, but at this time China-foreign envoy, emperor's relatives and powerful official senior officials centralized in broad magnificent all phenomena on earth god palace, Her Imperial Majesty celebrates the festival with their together.
When Yang Fan rushes to the Baima Temple, the Baima Temple turned into the sea of person, then crowded one another and wielded from the Baima Temple also very far long street on the sleeve like clouds. By the path has been filled with the small traders and peddlers, is peddling the business jubilantly, today's business is very good.
Has not arrived at the Baima Temple entrance place, Yang Fan saw a huge portrait, that is a red Maitreya religion paints a portrait, the whole piece canvas looks like has 20 zhang (3.33 m) high fully, the gadget that Xue Huaiyi does forever be older than others, imposing.
Suddenly, Yang Fan hears in the crowd a resounding sound to shout: „Look, look, saw? The portrait of that great Buddha, heard that was the bosom righteousness Grandmaster has lacerated own knee, drew with his blood, showed to the irreverence of Buddha.”
Yang Fan listened to turn the head to visit him immediately, was obloquying at heart: „Breaks wind simply! Like shining a good blood, is impossible to draw a such big portrait, this is who was fabricating a rumor?”
„Breaks wind simply!”
Yang Fan thinks, in the crowd some people refuted loud, is ridiculing the person of that speech loudly.
The person who just spoke got flushed in the face with anger argued: „Real, this was not I said that was the monk in Baima Temple said that did not believe you to take a look to the entrance, they were in the viewpoints!”
„Was the person in Baima Temple says? That was Xue Master incites. If Xue Master incites....... Then such rich imagination. Pours looks like is really Xue Master style!”
Yang Fan is thinking, no longer glowers to that lie.
exceed before the Baima Temple, the crowd is crowded, men and women and both olds and youngs, the thief's sea-monster in crowd rubs, practices fraud, is harvesting happily.
„Pushing deity” hooligans are tagging along after the girl young wife. Some people gesticulate make one to look at this to look at that registry swinging of arm, is rubbing the arm and chest of woman, some people do not calculate the big belly thrusts out high, goes to rubs to rub others buttocks with his lower part diligently.
The children were hugged by the parents in the bosom, big pulling in hand. Stamps one's foot unbearably anxiously, wants to cross head to see clearly that huge image of Buddha, the slave trader follows on the heels blindly, looks forward to the parents of which family/home more careless, will lose the child in one side.
Begged Suo Erzhuan to select to look that extravagant, the look also genial person stopped up to the front begs the wealth, the vision of sympathy in the Yang Fan eye revealed from time to time, making them feel that this was a very ideal guest, was only a pity that they forever also gave up any idea of approached the Yang Fan half step. Because has 78 the guys of assorted attires around Yang Fan. Any tried to approach the Yang Fan people to push outside.
Along the gable of Baima Temple, inside and outside many colored lanterns. Between the lamp and lamp are drawing the color rope, on the color rope is hanging many anagrams, guesses obtains the right key with joy goes to there the monk to receive an award, when refers to being uncertain, sky over the crowd will flash before a glittering copper coin, the raindrop falls......
This is Xue Huaiyi imitates the acrobatics that Wu Zetian does, if not so, where the Baima Temple big Buddhist meeting can gather many common people like this. The copper coin falls to the ground, no matter the men and women bend the waist to pick in abundance, this is „pushing deity” hoodlum happiest time, conveniently in that is round and on the big buttocks touches, fast bent the waist to pick money again, two do not delay.
Also there is a that to run away the slow hooligan to be seized by the valiant first wife, the palm of the hand raindrop fan to the face on, that touches likely, only thinks that the wadding soft is extremely softly and flexible, the good of feel, the hooligan of providing much food for thought sees the beautiful woman in mind to turn head steep, a person with a pockmarked face face frightens him to scream that makes noise.
Yang Fan pushes in the crowd, wants not to, have to proceed quickly quickly along with the stream of people, funnily looks at this lively crowd.
Finally pushed to the Baima Temple entrance, about the Baima Temple entrance had one respectively big and is preaching to preach.
This age, the monk uses some grand festival shapes travel about as acrobat to earn living in public spoke loudly the Buddhism meaning of the Confucian classics and registry to develop the follower are very common matters, they said is not the theory of dry being hot-tempered and makes the abstruse scriptures that one is hard to understand, but is some vivid interesting Buddhism stories.
Left side of the entrance big monk is the closing disciple great reason monk of Baima Temple genuine abbot Sanshan Grandmaster, this monk figure tall and strong, stentorian voice, in this noisy environment, wants to hear clearly him to speak, the sound not sonorous is absolutely incorrect. Compared with him came, to stand in the favorite disciple of entrance right bosom righteousness Grandmaster great six is more inferior.
Great six, because with great reason compared with voice, sound already completely hoarse, he duplicates to speak the bosom righteousness Grandmaster to puncture the knee hoarsely, draws the image of Buddha by the blood the legend, hoarse sound completely by noisy tourist voice pressing, but encircles „follower” by him are more than great reason monk that side.
Because „followers” had discovered that the frequency of here splash copper coin is highest.
„Great seven, great seven, you go against a while, I am not good......”
Yang Fan sees great six busy appearances, wants to enter the entrance directly, does not disturb six fellow apprentices to bring honor to the Buddhist doctrine the proper business, but he only stands and waits for a long time the full moment, great six saw him, great six like eating the salt ate, with hoarse did not have the sound of person of sound to shout his junior brother comes to power, then jumped down to push the crowd to walk to Yang Fan.
„17............ Junior brother, you come!”
„Six fellow apprentices!”
Yang Fan beckons with the hand, stops the movement that under the intention stops, moved forward to meet somebody on own initiative: „Haha, here is quite lively!”
„That is! The master holds the big Buddhist meeting today, the entire Luoyang city caused a stir. When the emperor came, thousand monks...... Coughs......”
The great six throats like broke the old string, the trembling basis made the person unable to hear clearly him to say anything.
„Six fellow apprentices, are you all right?”
„Is all right!” Great six beckon with the hand, rushes to roadside outdoor shop to take up two frozen pears.
„Grandmaster, you have not given money!”
„To money! The copper coin that everywhere dispersed a moment ago fell on your cutting board several, all cheap you, I looked clear on the stage! Also asks for money. Fell in the square hole in the center you!”
Great six use also to want the court eunuch sound compared with court eunuch. Talks clearly scolding of this speaking righteously. He returns to side Yang Fan, gives a Yang Fan clam the frozen pear, bit one to freeze the pear, brought the frozen pear fruit pulp of thin film of ice to make an effort to chew several that this said: „My throat quickly could not speak.”
Yang Fan has also nipped mouth frozen pear, making that icy cold delightful juice seep the throat, said with a smile: „How not to let the fellow apprentices for your.”
Great six shake the head: „Everybody is busy. Really cannot set aside the person, seven Junior brothers were just send off the wife and child, just came back, this had been grasped the recruit by me.”
„Wife and child......”
Yang Fan obstructed has obstructed, said: „Is Master, where he busy?”
Great six: „Master went to the palace very early in the morning. Waits to accompany the emperor to go to the big Buddhist meeting together.”
During the speeches, after the extremely spacious former palace, saw only in the courtyard to build four catwalks, sang the major drama, was explaining the Chinese classics, in the perform dance, was picking up the senior old profession of Grandmaster Xue: „Chest broken big stone, and sells gold/metal Qiang not but actually aphrodisiacs!”
To big Buddhist meeting of this swallowing anything and everything uncritically. Yang Fan was very the perspiration. However looks like the effect is good, before each seat stand, is the sea of people. Looks with great interest.
Great six glimpsed the Yang Fan strange expression, cannot bear laugh, smiled two not to start coughs: „, The ordinary people, like lively. Or we arrive at the garden palace, Hanoi god nun of light Tathagata reincarnation is calculating the previous generation there manner only this life, each trigram at least 100, are not many by there person, is quite quiet.”
Great six spoke of here, but also blinked to Yang Fan, lowered the sound to say with a smile: „Told fortunes was in the majority by the female, many beautiful women.”
The Yang Fan forced smile said: „Ok, we go to rear palace, a muddy junior brother in? You are busy your, I and he chatted.”
Great six: „One muddy is also busy the great law, you look, he there.”
Yang Fan fixes the eyes on looked, really before seeing a main hall, has built a platform, after a muddy monk sitting well case, in incessant, but also let alone, before the body that the storytelling mister resembles has encircled many people, Yang Fan is curious, does not know that he was speaking anything, then to the great six dozens of hand signals, they did not say a word, has collected quietly.
Two people approached one hear, a muddy monk also in telling story, publicizes a retributive justice kind of thought that this ideological Buddhist advocated actually, but he not only spoke six samsara, moreover made concrete, any five Fang Guidi, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, ten palace Yama and demons in buddhist hell, inside the Buddhism Taoism character was mixed the same place by him, unexpectedly said rationally.
When Yang Fan childhood has read many books, to said that two matters also know something, but he first one hears in character in some people's and Taoism legend Buddhism legend character fuses together, unexpectedly made them be the colleague, does not know that the Buddhism god on the Sino-Turkey earth was the confusion of Taoism god department, was a muddy Grandmaster who threw over the cassock to do obeisance the laozi starts from this.
Yang Fan shook the head, to great six ridicules the tunnel: „Ok, a muddy junior brother is busy giving the northern cloudy Fengtu Great Emperor and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva arranges the seats, do not call him, we to backyard quiet a while.”
Hong six kind tunnels of being illiterate: „Good, that makes him be busy first, the senior brother accompanies you to drink two cups. How Jade Emperor had not decided that who Fengtu Great Emperor and Ksitigarbha do become the Boss? With the Tathagata Buddha discussed that suddenly has not become, is one of us, do not hit.”
Yang Fan is perspiration.
