When he heard the word "whoring", the great monk Yuanzi was stunned. He opened his mouth and almost had his tongue bitten.
By the time he came to his senses, Xu Tong had already gone out.
"Amitabha, sin, sin!"
Yuan Bian clasped his hands together, and as if there was divine help at his feet, he followed Xu Tong in a moment.
"Brother Guo, hurry up and catch up, don't let the prince learn bad things!"
Seeing that Guo Yi hadn't come to his senses yet, Sanniang stretched out her hand and pinched Guo Yi.
In Sanniang's eyes, the prince doesn't need to learn any Buddhism at all. He himself is a god who saves people from suffering. It would be a huge sin if he allowed those lowly slaves in the brothel to dirty their bodies.
He immediately pinched and twisted Guo Yi's waist hard. Even Guo Yi's master-level Henglian Taibao grinned in pain and suddenly woke up. He hurriedly covered his waist, roared, and hurried after him.
Go up and say: "Your Majesty, this is not possible!!"
The streets of Luoyang are paved with bluestones. There are many shops and restaurants on both sides of the streets. From time to time, you can see Hu merchants leading camels and walking into the city with a lot of gold and silver goods.
Speaking of which, it has been a while since I came to Luoyang City.
This place where I was born and raised is now at its most prosperous and prosperous era.
In later generations, no matter whether it is the Song, Yuan, Ming or Qing Dynasty, Luoyang will never be glorious again, let alone surpass this era.
So since I can't change the fact that Yuan Zi is with me and wants to learn Buddhism on my own, then I might as well go out and take a good look at Luoyang City in this peak era.
"Your Majesty, you don't really want to go to Tanhua Tower, do you? That's not a place we can go."
Guo Yi came forward without realizing it, pulled Xu Tong's arm, and advised him sincerely: "If the prince knows that you have gone to that kind of place..."
"Can you believe that my father can be so happy?"
Xu Tong rolled his eyes and finished what he said next.
"Your Majesty!!"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Guo Yi turned his eyes, looked to the side, and said with a cold face: "Monk, don't you want to teach the prince the Dharma? How could you see the prince go to a place like that!"
It has to be said that Guo Yi is tall and thick, but his brain is still very flexible. Seeing that he can't persuade him, he actually thinks of asking the great monk Yuan Bian to persuade him.
"Your Majesty was born with a Buddha body, pure and flawless, how could he easily ruin his own practice!"
Yuanbei said with a smile: "If the prince had a romantic nature, I am afraid that this Yuanyang body would have been gone long ago, why wait until now!"
"Hey! Don't get me wrong, it was my father who took care of me. Now my father is in Sichuan and has nothing to do with me."
Xu Tong curled his lips and immediately rejected Yuan Xiang's statement: "You are going to take me into Buddhism to become a monk. I won't die if I don't go have a good time as soon as possible and experience what it means to be romantic and happy!"
Yuan Zi frowned, and when he heard this, he was really unsure about paying attention. He knew that these words were just words of anger, but what if...
"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense. You need to know that the so-called sexual desire between men and women is just a bunch of stinky skin. I hope your Majesty will not ruin your spiritual practice just to get angry with a poor monk!"
"You also said that it is practice. Since it is practice, how can it be considered practice if you don't experience it yourself."
Xu Tong slowed down as he spoke and looked at the passers-by: "This world is full of materialism, but in the future, when money is supreme, these are nothing. There are more exciting things, blindly dodging and escaping.
, and finally became a Buddha, in my opinion, there is no difference from the clay sculptures in the temple."
Yuan Zi fell silent for a moment after hearing this.
Xu Tong's words were also said by his senior brother, and even his master also said similar words. Otherwise, how could he have traveled west to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Even senior brother Jianzhen decided to travel east to the Japanese country because he wanted to imitate his master, experience all kinds of hardships in the world, and verify his own Dharma.
"Your Majesty really has wisdom, so a poor monk like him might as well walk around in this world of mortals with his benefactor."
Yuan Bian clasped his hands together, facing Xu Tong's deliberate display of temper, instead of getting angry, he became more determined. He must follow Xu Tong's side, use Buddhist influence to bring him into Buddhism, and prolong his luck in Buddhism.
"Huh, you're a monk, you talk so much about Buddhism, I don't think you're any better!"
Guo Yi saw from the side that instead of persuading the prince, the monk wanted to go to the brothel with the prince. He suddenly felt dizzy and stepped forward to hold Xu Tong's arm: "Your Majesty, we can't go to that place!"
Guo Yi said, patting his pocket, hinting to Xu Tong that they had no money.
The money in Guo Yi's pocket is only a dozen taels of silver.
This money was given to Guo Yi from part of the silver that Xu Tong had previously sent from Jiang Zhen, the governor of Yuyang.
A dozen taels can be considered a windfall in this day and age.
At least enough for an ordinary family of four to spend at least two years.
But if you want to go to the gold-burning cave in Tanhualou, you will probably have to pay for it if you spend this little money.
I'm afraid I don't even have enough money to buy flower lyrics.
On the way to Luoyang before, Wu Fan often mentioned Tanhua Tower. It was a place where there were countless high-rollers who invested a lot of money, and ordinary people couldn't afford it.
Although Xu Tong is not an ordinary person, he is indeed very poor now, because his luck does not include wealth, even if he has the means to make money, and even turns stones into gold.
But if this money cannot be spent as soon as possible, it will affect your luck.
Guo Yi took a fancy to the fact that the prince had no money, and planned to use such a realistic method to dispel the idea of the prince.
When Xu Tong heard this, he looked at the wallet on Guo Yi's waist with disdain: "Any fun related to money is low-level. The essence of truly high-level fun is only two words."
"Two words??"
Guo Yi looked at Xu Tong blankly.
Just listen to Xu Tong pouting: "It's free!"
While the three of them were talking, they had already arrived in front of Tanhua Building.
Pedestrians passing by saw Xu Tong and Guo Yi fine, but when they saw the great monk Yuan Bian following Xu Tong, they couldn't help but cast strange looks.
Yuan Xiang was very calm about this and walked forward without changing his expression.
After all, when Buddhism has reached his level, he no longer cares about how the world sees him.
"Sir, would you like to buy some fancy words? It's only fifty taels of silver cheaper. I guarantee you can get in!"
Before I even got to the front of the building, people gathered around me and started to sell my words.
Xu Tong glanced at it, "Good guy, the so-called flowery words are all erotic words and vulgar tunes."
Just like the kind that Zhao Zilong and Li Kui were not allowed to write, no wonder it is called flower poetry, it is indeed very flowery.
But this thing, fifty taels??
Xu Tong instantly felt that the little ink in his stomach seemed to be no more difficult.
Of course, these so-called fancy words are actually just a cover, the purpose is to give those rich people who have no ink in their stomachs an excuse to enter a brothel.
After all, having literary talent does not mean being rich. If all of them really wanted to have sex for free, then the girls in the brothel would have starved to death.
Moreover, such fancy sounds cannot be made casually.
There are fifty taels in a flower poem, of which thirty taels belong to the brothel, 10 taels are for those gangsters, and the last 10 taels belong to you.
Even so, there are still many people who have broken their brains to do this business.
Seeing more and more people crowding around to sell their fancy words, Guo Yi felt annoyed and couldn't help but snorted coldly.
I saw Guo Yi become cold-faced, exuding a murderous aura like an iron king of hell, and finally scared away these people who came to sell flowery words.
The three of them strode to the downstairs of Tanhua. When they looked up, they saw that the three-story building had beautiful carved beams and painted buildings. Even the signboard above was made of iron pens and silver hooks. The calligraphy had its own talent.
Just these three words Tanhualou are probably worth thousands of gold.
But compared to this door, the girls lying upstairs in front of the attic window are even more eye-catching.
Although Dazhou considers fatness to be beautiful, there are rules and regulations for being fat. In today's terms, a person with a forward and backward posture is considered slightly fat, and a person with a big belly is simply fat.
The women who can stand in front of the window are all fat and thin, and beautiful.
Although he is not an oiran, he is still the signature of Tanhualou.
Pedestrians passing by all raised their heads, looked at his face and swallowed secretly.
Even if you can't go in, it's still good to just take a look.
There is a woman guarding the door of the brothel. If she wants to go in, if she doesn't have any fancy words, she will compose a poem here in public.
Only with the woman's approval can you enter.
But don't think that people are easy to fool. In fact, except after the Qing Dynasty, women in brothels are the trend of the times.
They are full of ink, but they are no worse than those scholars.
Some of the poems written by talented women have even been recited.
If you want to fool people, it is equivalent to a large-scale social death scene.
Once the reputation is spread, it will be difficult to mix in the circle in the future.
So in front of the brothel, many scholars are standing at the bottom of the building waiting. What are they waiting for?
Hmmm... inspiration!
"Hey, there are still monks!!"
At this time, Xu Tong and three others came over. Some people saw the monks on the side of Yuan dressed up and couldn't help but look sideways at them.
There was both surprise and amusement in his eyes.
Don’t all the monks say that they are not close to women? Why did a monk come to the brothel today?
Yuan Zi ignored the strange looks from around him and followed Xu Tong to the woman guarding the door.
"Wait a minute, you three...are you going to enter??"
The woman guarding the door looked at Xu Tong and the others with a strange expression, or in other words, she looked at Yuan Xiang.
"certainly!"
Xu Tong nodded: "We are here to practice!"
As he spoke, he did not forget to wink at Monk Yuan Bian, which made Monk Yuan Bian feel disgusted in his heart.
"Is there...a fancy word for this?"
The woman reaches out her hand.
Instead, Xu Tong's eyes widened: "What, you want me to spend money before I even get in?"
Hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes, only to hear someone in the crowd sneer: "Haha, what a joke, what are you doing here if you don't have money? Get out of here! Going to a brothel for alms is also a fantasy!"
"Didn't you say... you can get in by writing poetry??"
Xu Tong ignored everyone's cynicism and asked the woman in front of him seriously.
Seeing Xu Tong's serious look, the woman couldn't help but sneered: "With this rule, you can also write poetry??"
As soon as this was said, everyone burst into laughter.
Anyone who can enter a brothel based on his poems is recognized by everyone, and they are all literary figures. Few people recognize the three people in front of him, so what kind of poems can he come up with as a stepping stone?
But it’s not like there aren’t some fools who use other people’s poems to make up for their mistakes.
It's a pity that the ink in people's stomachs is not blown out. Poems that can be successfully used as poems in brothels have probably been known to the world for a long time. Anyone who dares to impersonate them is no joke.
It can range from a beating to a more severe punishment, including being sent to the government.
Xu Tong turned back to look at Yuan Bian: "Great monk, aren't you very confused about how I cultivated Buddhism?"
Yuan Zi raised his head and heard Xu Tong reciting a poem with a smile:
"I have never cultivated good deeds in my life. I only love killing people and setting fires. Suddenly I opened the golden rope and broke the jade lock here. The tide came from the Qiantang River. Today I know who I am!"
When Xu Tong recited this poem, everyone around him was stunned and stood speechless.
The people who come to the brothel for entertainment are either Jiangnan talented people or those who are famous in the literary world. Among them are some regular customers who spend a lot of money to buy erotic poems.
But how can I live here without a little ink in my belly?
Therefore, when I heard that this young master really spoke the poem, I was shocked at first, and then I was shocked by this poem.
"What a strange poem? Never heard of it??"
When everyone heard this poem, they looked at each other for a while. There were many talented people present. When they heard this poem, they all frowned.
It's not that this poem is bad.
But this poem is a bit profound and needs to be savored carefully.
The poem sounded murderous at first, but later on it felt like a great enlightenment.
The golden rope and jade lock are exactly the utilitarian benefits in the world. Only when you tear off the golden rope and jade lock can you gain enlightenment and realize your true self.
The great monk Yuanzi stood behind Xu Tong. When he heard this poem, he was suddenly shocked. He looked at the prince with a horrified face. There was actually some true meaning of Buddhism hidden in this poem. Could it be that this boy really is
Once you gain enlightenment, will you be born with a Buddha body?
Buddhism is boundless and its mysteries are endless.
However, few talented people are willing to write poems with Buddha as the theme. This poem Xu Tong chanted and sang casually seems murderous, but it is full of great wisdom.
Sure enough, he is destined to be my Buddha. This poem is enough to be passed down to future generations!
only……
The charlatanism is a little too strong.
But it is normal to think about it. After all, the prince is young and energetic, and it is natural for him to dream of wielding a sword and traveling around the world.
In fact, Monk Yuanzi was just thinking too much. The reason why Xu Tong was able to recite this poem was purely because he followed the TV series "Water Margin" played in the hospital.
As for Tang poetry and Song lyrics, haha, to hell with it, he really can’t recite a single line.
It is difficult to be a copywriter.
However, although Xu Tong did not know Tang poetry and Song lyrics, in reality it was not just Tang poetry and Song lyrics, but also many popular and popular masterpieces, Xu Tong had heard of them all.
"Why, I won't talk anymore. It's still too profound for you to understand??"
Xu Tong looked at the woman in front of him who was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and turned to look at Yuan Bian behind him who had a face full of shock.
"Master, just think of this poem as a fancy poem composed for you."
After listening to Xu Tong's words, he recited another poem to the girls on the building door and window.
“I once worried that being passionate would harm my holy life, and when I entered the mountains, I was afraid that I would not be able to fall in love with the city.
In this world, there is peace and harmony, and I will live up to the Tathagata and I will not let you down."
As soon as this poem came out, it was so impactful that the girls in the brothel were so moved that their eyes turned red and they stared straight at the young man, with intoxicated passion in their eyes.
There are so many love poems in the world, but none can compare with that sentence: "The world is safe and sound, and I will live up to the Tathagata and I will live up to you."
It simply showed the romance in a woman's heart vividly. For a moment, the whole brothel, no! The whole street was excited...
