Chapter 57 Lingxiu Monk Yang Wulang

When he returned to the Central Plains, more than eighty years had passed since he left last time. This time, Yang Yi did not come back from the Western Regions, so he took a sea boat and set foot on the land of the Song Dynasty again from Hangzhou.

After saying goodbye to Count Deport, Sheep wandered aimlessly in Europa for a year, and then went to the auspicious city of Rome, where he met a Byzantine scholar named Gafras.

Gavras was asked three times by the extremely deep soul of Sheep: Who am I? Where am I from? What am I going to do? He was deeply attracted to him and was attracted to his fellow disciples, and they had a great time talking to each other.

So, Gavras kindly invited the sheep to Constantinople. He said that the world he saw in front of him was all illusions. If you want to see the essence of the world clearly, you must ask the soul and the universe.

When the sheep asked him what to ask, Gafras said: Go and read the book and find the answers from the book.

Yang Yi deeply agreed, so he followed Galfras to Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire.

Byzantium was the name of later generations, also called the Eastern Roman Empire. Byzantium continued the culture of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, and advocated philosophy, astronomy, geometry, etc.

The two of them walked from Rome to Constantinople for more than a month. The conversation on the road made the sheep easily leak the filling. Gafras found that he was neither a scholar nor a profound at all.

However, as a noble gentleman who deeply understands etiquette and cultivation, a veteran cultural person, Gafras still introduced Sheep Yi to the Byzantine Empire Library with a very graceful and trustworthy manner, and Sheep Yi never again

Have seen him.

The Imperial Library is also called Constantinople's Sethton Library. It is undoubtedly the largest library in the world today, no doubt. The Sethton Library contains the collection from ancient Greece to ancient Rome and then to the present.

Almost all Western classics are very comprehensive.

In this regard, the Central Plains is indeed not as good as the West. The Central Plains has Sutra Library and Library Pavilion, but there is indeed no library facing the public.

Although the Sethun Library is only open to Byzantine nobles, civilians will be hung up and beaten with whips when they break in, and the self-proclaimed "duke" does not work here. However, Gafras is the current Byzantine Emperor,

Empress Yi’s philosophy and history teacher, his recommendations are very useful.

Yang Yi lived in the library for six years.

Although he was not a nobleman and his recommender, Galfras, never showed up again, but once sheep had money, sheep could make the devil push the mill and bribe the officials in the library.

It took a full six years. As soon as sheep read all the books in the Xidun library, most of which he could not understand at all. He gritted his teeth and read them one by one page like a dog looking at the stars.

Even so, he read the library for six years. The Seedun Library is really big. After six years, Yang Yi felt that he was full of wisdom, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that besides some novels, interesting stories, licentious history, and other things

Remember nothing.

Of course, there was no discovery, and no way to find a way to ask about the origin of the world. Who am I? I still don’t know.

But he still felt that Mr. Galfras was right and that reading more books must be correct. Therefore, the Sheep, whose time is meaningless, decided to spend a hundred years reading all the books in the world.

As soon as the sheep left Constantinople and went to read somewhere else. He didn't know that he was the only person in human history who read all the books in the Sethun Library. Not only was it unprecedented, but it was also absurd.

The day he left, the Librarian Xidun shed tears in sorrow.

In the following twenty years, as soon as the sheep passed through Persia, the Seljuk Empire was now established by the Turks. They went to the original India, which was even more chaotic. There were more than a dozen countries of big and small, and the sheep even had its names.

Can't remember it completely.

Then the Three Buddhas, Khmer, and Champa were very close to the Central Plains. Of course, there would be no libraries along the way. The places where books were stored the most were usually temples, so the sheep went to the temples one by one.

The monks asked him to see him, and he would look at him quietly and carefully. If he didn't let him see him, he would take out money to give him, and then he would look slowly. If he didn't let him see him, he would be very unreasonable.

If you can fight, the monks will politely invite him in and see him, and they will also be in charge of vegetarian food.

It was entered in Juelin Temple in Champo State. Several old monks with profound Buddhist teachings were beaten to tears by Yang Yi. After being beaten, Yang Yi asked the kitchen in the temple to cook first, and then walked in with his hands behind his back.

The Sutra Library.

In the side room, an old monk who was as thin as firewood was lying. He was so old that he was almost gone. He vented more than intake and was obviously about to pass away.

The old monk is old but his heart is not old. "Boy, if I could be sixty years younger than 70 years old, how could I allow you to be so presumptuous?"

Yang Yixin said: That's not necessarily the case. Do you know how old I lived?

However, Yang Yi is always a kind person. Faced with such a breathless old monk, he still showed his kindness to his younger generation.

Without rushing to read the book, Yang Yi asked the old monk for a cup of warm water and fed it to him with his own hands to moisten his throat. In fact, the most important thing is that Yang Yi found that the old monk was like him, a native of the Central Plains.

After following this tone, Yang Yi talked with the old monk.

The old monk said that he is 98 years old this year, and Yang Yi felt that it was probably more than that. His magic name is "Lingxiu", and Yang Yi felt that it was very inconsistent. However, the monk Lingxiu did come from the Central Plains, not the monk here, he was wandering here to hold orders.

A single hang will last forty or fifty years.

After recalling it hard, Monk Lingxiu remembered that his family's name was Yang Yande, who was the fifth son of Yang Ye, the former right-leader general of the Song Dynasty, and was known as Yang Wulang. More than 60 years ago, he was the commander of the official commander of the infantry army.

Follow my father to fight against the Khitans in the Liao Kingdom.

Wang Zhi, a military supervisor who did not understand the war, commanded blindly and forced Yang Ye and Yang Yande and his son to fight, but ended up falling into the siege of the Liao army at the Jinsha Beach. The reinforcements of Pan Mei, a subordinate of the Han Dynasty, were delayed, and Yang Ye was eventually defeated.

He died in a fierce battle and the Song army was defeated.

After Yang Wulang dragged half his life to climb out of the dead, in order to avoid the Khitan search, he shaved his hair and ran into Wenshu Temple in Wutai Mountain. There, the disheartened Yang Yande was inspired by the Buddha, but it turned out to be cut off.

I became a monk.

But I don't know why the news was leaked, and the Khitan people chased him to Wenshu Temple to arrest him. Yang Wulang, whose stalk scars had not yet solidified, had to escape again. He ran to Songshan in one breath and entered Shaolin Temple with the introduction letter from the abbot of Wenshu Temple.

, the magic name Lingxiu.

Whether it is Yang Wulang and Yang Yande or Lingxiu Monk, they have been in a bad luck all their lives.

Among the monks of the "Ling" generation of Shaolin Temple, Lingxiu and his junior brother Lingmen had the best relationship. The two brothers and brothers were really like brothers for more than ten years. Lingmen has both civil and military Buddhism and is the successor who is the key training of Shaolin Temple. Lingxiu became a monk halfway through, and she is a bit of a

Without any adjustment, fifty years ago, he pulled his junior brother from Lingmen to the foot of the mountain to peek at the peasant woman taking a bath, but was arrested by the abbot's master Zhiyan.

Lingmen was punished to face the wall for a year, but Lingxiu did not face the wall. He was punished to travel and beg for ten years. The treatment of monks who focused on cultivating and making soy sauce must be different.

The day he walked out of the mountain gate, his junior brother was crying sadly and told him to come back. The junior brother was much younger than him, and he was actually coaxing his junior brother as his son.

Monk Lingxiu did not have Buddhism, and his martial arts skills were not good after being seriously injured in Jinsha Beach. After walking out of Shaolin Temple, he traveled all the way to Nanyun to beg for alms because the south was rich and peaceful.

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

Although Jintai was very young, his martial arts were very good, and Lingxiu was no match for him at all. As a result, the silver from begging for alms was robbed and he was chased to the sea.

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

The pirates would not make things difficult for a monk, but the Navy of the Song Dynasty would make things difficult for a pirate. The pirate ship ran south like a lifeless, and did not dare to dock at the port of the Song Dynasty. Monk Lingxiu inexplicably followed him to the Champo Kingdom. He was covered in injuries,

The journey was long and the mountains and rivers were separated by him, and he was still breathing and he could never return to the Central Plains.

Sheep 1: "…"

They are both people who fell into the Central Plains, so why should we meet each other? She stopped reading Yang Yishu and chatted with Monk Lingxiu for four days with strong sympathy. On the fifth day, Monk Lingxiu passed away.

Before his death, he handed over his certificate of decree to Yang Yi and asked him to take it back to Shaolin Temple. The certificate of decree is the monk's identity certificate.

Monk Lingxiu asked Yang Yi to go to Shaolin Temple to find his junior brother Lingmen, tell him about his experiences over the years, and then asked the monks from the Damo Academy of Shaolin Temple to avenge him and kill the evil thief Jintai.
