We finally set out for Guizi. The farewell event was still very lively. Almost all the people in the city came out to see the way off, and King Wensu also rode away for dozens of miles. The travels with the king really are not the same, and the food and clothing are higher than the mother and son. After Roche finished the evening class every day, I still went to his account to teach. I have a book, and the explanation is more incisive. Often making inferences, combining specific historical events with the principles of life, Roche's admiration for me is beyond words.

Qiuzi Wang Baichun once came to inspect, and his Chinese is actually very fluent. Seeing that I was explaining "The Ninth of Zihan", I randomly picked out a sentence to test me, "Zi said:'I haven't seen good virtues like lascivious people'".

The original meaning of this sentence has been well understood. I thought about it and said, "When Confucius sighs, people are thinner than virtue and thicker than color, but I like that beauty is human nature, and **** is out of sincerity. Electricity attracts, and there is a cloud: "Food, color, and sex." And virtue, unnatural nature, and human virtue is indeed not as good as lust. Gugu is like this, and it is the same today."

I paused, seeing Bai Chun was speechless, but always thought he was not too friendly to me. Alas, my honest child, why do you honestly say that **** is instinct, don't the emperors need to shout slogans to make up the facade?

So I quickly added: "'Color' is not a woman's color, it is all good things. Morality is also one of the beautiful things. Good virtue is like a lust, it is also a gentleman. Therefore, Confucius traveled all over the country and was like a dog for funeral. It’s because he didn’t meet good virtues like a lecherous monarch. If Confucius was born at this time, my king Yingwu was good, and Confucius didn’t sigh.

Bai Chun still couldn't see any expression on his face. The emperor is hard to wait for, and I have some experience. This is just the king of the Fan Kingdom in the Western Regions. If Qin Huanghan Wu, would it still be? A displeasure is a matter of losing your head. I was cold and whizzing on my back, peeking at the gorgeously dressed Bai Chun. He ignored me at all and told Rosh a few words in Turro, without looking at me, and went out.

As a result, the next day he actually said to Qi Po and Rosh in front of me: "This woman is too young and frivolous, and does not look like a teacher."

I almost gasped. When I don't understand spitfire, he still doesn't care if I hear it. It must have been that smirk, and it also shows that my **** was caught on the horse's leg yesterday. Alas, I don't know which sentence offended him. When he talked about Guizi, he would find another mentor for Roche. Roche Jr. declined politely, saying that I was the best teacher he had ever seen. Ha, did not disappoint me. Bai Chun turned to the old woman, but the old woman said that Rosh meant it.

The senior woman was so enlightened, no wonder that Rosh Rosh respected her so much. Bai Chun's face was certainly not very good. I quickly lowered my head when I saw it, pretending I didn't understand anything.

Continue to walk through the city, no longer is the Gobi Desert. A series of canyons, with different shapes, no vegetation, and brownish red under the sun, the scenery is spectacular like the Colorado Grand Canyon in the United States. We have marched in the Tianshan Mountains. Roche told me that after crossing this canyon, and then walking twenty miles away from the Gobi, I came to the territory of Guizi.

A seasonal river appeared in a canyon, and a pool of lake water accumulated in the middle. When there is water, there is an oasis, and the mountains on both sides are steep. It is the main road of the Silk Road. There are several farmhouses and inns. Roche told me that the river is called the Muzat River and the mountain is Queerdag. I think the name is familiar again. There are dozens of miles away from Guizi. What makes me feel familiar? I looked again at this mountain surrounded by water, clear spring oasis, steep cliffs on both sides, a name popped out: "Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves"!

"Rosh, is the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves here? Take me to see them, OK?"

I am very excited. The Kizil Thousand-Buddha Caves are the oldest and most geographically large cave groups in China. Murals are the most precious, comparable to Dunhuang frescoes, and more than two centuries earlier than Dunhuang. It is artistically superior and has unique characteristics. It is a pity that after the Uyghurs believed in Islam, a lot of them were destroyed, and in the nineteenth century many treasures were revealed by the German Lecock. If you can see it with your own eyes at this time and copy it, how valuable it will be.

"What is the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves?" He looked blank. Perhaps "Kizil" is Uighur, at this time it is not called Kizil Thousand Buddha Cave.

"It is the cave temple cut in the mountains, which contains a lot of murals, and the rows of cut caves stretch for thousands of miles and are listed on the walls of the Queerdag mountain."

I shined with both eyes, depicting with excitement, but I saw him still blank. He looked around the environment here, his eyes fell on the opposite mountain: "Ai Qing, there is no grotto you said here."

what? Isn't the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves yet to be excavated? Historical data records were excavated from the third to the fourth century AD, and construction was gradually discontinued from the eighth to the ninth century AD. So it should be the period of time I was in, right?

"Ai Qing," he stared at me suddenly, "how do you know you want to open a cave temple like this?"

I was anxious and my head began to sweat. Yeah, how do I know? The Kizil Thousand Buddha Cave is the earliest cave temple excavated in China. Now, this earliest has not yet been opened.

"That..." I laughed for time, and then pointed to the winding road between the canyons. "I was thinking that this is a place where merchants must pass. Merchants walking on the Silk Road have a difficult journey and bad weather. The thieves are rampant, and it is possible that the hard work will be lost and even lost their lives. Therefore, the merchants need the spiritual sustenance of the Dharma to pray for themselves. If a temple is set up here, the merchants pass by and they can beg for God’s protection. The quietness here is also good for spiritual practice."

Looking at him with a happy face, my eyes gleamed brighter and brighter, and I secretly sighed. Ji Xianlin once said that merchants have a close relationship with Buddhism, and the main offerings of Buddhism come from merchants. This is why Buddhist monasteries are generally distributed along the Silk Road, and Buddhism is gradually introduced into the Central Plains along the Silk Road. So I use this reason, this bet is right.

I looked around again at the high mountain walls around and shook my head and said, "As for the grottoes, hehe, this is a canyon, there are not many trees, and the construction of a temple made of wood must be transported from the outside. The cost is too high, and the wooden building is not conducive to preservation. . Instead, it is built on the stone wall to adapt to local conditions."

He nodded and applauded: "The grotto temple you mentioned is very similar to the temples of Tianzhu and Zhenbin. There are also mountainous roads on the traffic roads, so the temple is chiseled on the stone wall."

After a moment of contemplation, he turned to me and asked, "But, why do you call this cave temple'Kizil'?"

I opened my mouth wide, haven't passed? Can this kid not be so smart?

"Kizil, Kizil," I muttered, and patted my head, "In my hometown, this is the local dialect, which means the grotto." Fortunately, I can use him as a foreigner to break up the dialect .

He looked at me inquiringly. As I became more guilty, he suddenly nodded with a smile: "Ai Qing said something very reasonable."

He paused and thought about it and asked, "Then how do you set up this cave temple to better reflect the Dharma view?"

"This..." I'm stuck with a tiger. Without saying anything, I am afraid that the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves in the later generations will change shape. Hesitated for a long time and said weakly.

"It is to dig a grotto in the mountain first, with a pillar left in the center, a Buddha statue enshrined in the niche in front of the pillar, and Buddhist stories and natal stories painted on the left and right corridors and the back room. In this way, believers can worship the Buddha in the main room first, and then turn right to enter Yong Dao and the back room to watch the Buddha statue of Nirvana of Buddha, and finally back to the main room, you can just look at the picture of the saying of Maitreya Bodhisattva above the entrance of the grotto. story."

Seeing more and more doubts flowing out of his eyes, I felt hair in my heart, sipped my mouth, and continued to search the information of the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves in my head: "Oh, by the way, there is also a monastery cave for monks to live and meditate. If you are meditating, you don’t need to decorate the murals. You can add a room and a passage structure. These monk caves and mural caves can be combined together to form a unit. Oh, it’s a Buddhist temple."

"Ai Qing, have you ever been to Tianzhu or Dianbin?"

"Ah?" I have been to India. But the Peshawar region of Kashmir, which is the binbin in his mouth, because I was not very peaceful in the 21st century, I have not been there. This famous ancient city located on the junction of South Asia and Central Asia was established as the capital of the Kingdom of Gandhara by Gandhara of the Guishuang Dynasty. It is the birthplace of the art of Gandhara in Buddhism, and it is also a holy place I yearn for.

But the current situation is, how can I justify myself? Undoubtedly, there is no precedent for the establishment system I mentioned, let alone in the Central Plains or even the Western Regions. But if I say I have been there, I will definitely be exposed immediately. His father was an Indian, and he himself spent several years in Leibin.

"I am, um, because... I met a Tianzhu monk, he told me..."

"Oh? When did Ai Qing understand Sanskrit?" He interrupted me with a keen eye to see me nowhere to escape.

"I--" No wonder some people say that it's easy to lie, but for a lie, you have to make up a bunch of lies, one by one loop, and sooner or later be exposed.

"Ai Qing, you really can't lie."

"I--" It was really revealed. Why did I just confuse me so much that I slipped out without thinking.

"Who the **** are you?" Another question cracked my head and made me dizzy.

"I--" Actually forgot, this guy has defeated the instructor who is invincible in the Western Regions. He asked again, it is not difficult to lift my bottom.

"Okay, don't worry." Seeing my face suffocated, he suddenly smiled, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Since you don't want to say, Roche is not forced."

"Roshi returned to Guizi and would persuade Uncle Wang to dig a cave temple here. It was called Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves. Then he set up a monk's cave and a ritual cave in the form you said."

He looked at me, his eyes scorched, and he gently shook his head and smiled: "Ai Qing, you know, you were just stupid, it was really fun. No matter where you come from, you are the most brilliant woman Rosh has ever seen. ."

His face was red, and his chin almost fell. The Kizil Thousand Buddha Cave was originally excavated in this way. Slap your mouth secretly and never talk nonsense again. Disturbing history, how can I afford this crime?

Turning back, he found that the action of the self-portrait mouth was actually seen by him again. He didn't say anything, but the look in my eyes was always a bit of inquiry and reflection. That day, I dared not talk more.

We finally arrived at Guizi. Seeing the welcoming team from a distance, this time it was bigger than Wensu, and the music was still there before it came. The tents lined up at the gate of the city are hundreds of meters long. In front of the tents, there are monks with high ranks looking at us to worship. Rosh and Jay dismounted, and saluted the monks respectfully. I carefully observed the exquisite Buddha in the tent, thinking how good it would be to keep it modern.

In front of the welcome team is a middle-aged woman, with a somewhat bloated posture, dressed elegantly, a half-sleeved gold sweater, and a beautiful tunic in a flower group. It must be the queen. The pile of gorgeously dressed women and children behind her must be concubines and princesses. Behind it should be the Minister of Culture and Martial Arts. Hundreds of people saluted the King Qizi Baichun in a magnificent manner. I saw the nobles of the royal family of Guizi all at once, and wished that there was a camera in hand, which could witness this grand event.

The queen hugged the old woman and Rosh, crying with excitement. The mother and son also have red eyes, detailing the four years of miss. I noticed that there was an individual in the crowd behind the queen, who looked very different from all the Qizi people.

It was a middle-aged man with chocolate-colored skin and a tall body, and his thin body was straight. His face was narrow and long, his big eyes were deep in Qingzhen's face, light gray eyes were flowing, and he was wise and compassionate. Unlike the Qizi people, they have short hair and shoulders, but they have short hair like modern people, and some are gray. Even if he is wearing a Qizi costume, he can be seen as an Indian. When he was his age, the word "handsome" was used to describe him as too degrading. What was harder to copy was the vulgar temperament, the kind that even standing among hundreds of people could make people stare at a glance and then it was difficult to divert their attention. temperament.

He is holding a child, about ten years old, with a round face and a pale skin color close to the Qizi people. He looks like Roche but is more cute. The same light gray eyes as Rosh wandered around and was surprised when he saw me, staring at me carefully for a long time. I smiled at him and made a grimace again. The little guy was stunned, and quickly turned away.

Undoubtedly, this Indian is the one who has surrendered his heirs but left his home. Dongdu Congling was hired by the King of Turtles as the master of the country. The father of Kumarajiva, the father of Kumarajiva, tried to marry. . Even Roche's grandfather, Jumoro Dado, also has a record of "who is more important than the country". The child who resembled Rosh was his younger brother. I forgot what his younger brother’s name was. Hui Jiao recorded only one name in the Biography of High Monks, and he only existed as the brother of Kumarajiva in the historical development.

The queen finally stopped crying and brought Rosh and Jaipah to Jumoroyan. The senior woman also gave her hands a ceremonial gesture to her former husband, and Kumaro's eyes showed a deep attachment and nostalgia. He should want to hug her in her arms even more, staring at her for a few seconds, or to return to the ceremony. The little guy didn't care about three, seventy-one, twenty-one, plunged into his mother's arms and cried, and the old woman embraced the little guy, and burst into tears. Roche met his father on his knees, and was quickly picked up by Jumoro Yan. Both the father and son were excited, and they began to talk in Sanskrit.

The welcoming ceremony took place for more than an hour. Kumaro Yan asked Bai Chun to let the mother and son go home to live. The senior woman had no objection, and it seemed to be eager. So I moved into Guoshifu together.

I asked clearly that Brother Rosh's name is Pusysdeva, which is Sanskrit. According to the translation principle of ancient Chinese, it should be translated as "Vishati", which is also a mouthful name.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the monk Hui Jiao wrote "The Biography of the High Monk" and recorded the life experience of Jumorosh: "Jumorosh, this cloud child's life, and the Tianzhu people. His family and country. His grandfather Dado. The suaves are more important than the country. Father Hato Mo Yan. Smart and Yi Yi. He will be heir. He will avoid his monk. East on the green hill. King Qizi admires Qi Wenqi for his abandonment. He welcomes him as a teacher from the outskirts."

Hui Jiao's description of the marriage between Jaipur and Jomoroyan: "Wang Youmei, who is twenty at the beginning of the year, has a clear understanding, will be able to catch her eyes, and chants when she hears it. OK. And seeing Mo Yan, the desire to take it right, is forced to marry his wife, and even pregnant."

Regarding Vishati’s background: “In short, the mother would like to become a monk, but not her husband’s permission. Then she gave birth to a male named Vishati.” Some sources said that Vishati died at the age of three, and the senior woman was heartbroken , So monk. This statement is not found in Zheng Shi or the biographies written by Hui Jiao, Seng Zhao and others for Kumorosh, so it is inaccurate.
