The Tang Record is still the Tang Record of the past, three in and three out. Zhao Ye is like a monkey in the courtyard, shuttled back and forth in the wing room and ear room.

However, unfortunately, he had found no clues or valuable things in the wing room and ear room in Tang Ke's room until he touched the second main room, that is, Tang Qianqian's boudoir.

He suddenly kicked something in the corner while walking. The crisp sound of the vase in the quiet night scared him, and then two "Girl" sounded, and the wall in front of him seemed to suddenly come alive.

Zhao Ye was shocked and twisted his waist and leaned down. The wall in front of him had quickly sunk backwards. Several sharp arrows shone coldly, rubbed their scalp and flew over the top of his head. He made a few "snatch" sounds and inserted it into the table behind him in a shape, making it three points.

Looking at the sharp arrow inserted on top of his head, Zhao Ye felt heartbroken, and waited for a while until there was no movement on the wall. Then a carp rose up and the wall in front of him was a world apart.

The smooth mirror-like wall just now disappeared, and a three-foot-meter-square-meter-square-meter-square-deep dark cave was sunk on the top of the five-foot-high wall. With the moonlight outside the window, you can vaguely see a granite-carved statue in the cave.

The statue is a statue of a Buddhist, about two feet high, wearing a yellow five Buddha crown, wearing a golden armor and a green silk robe, with a solemn appearance in the face of compassion. A treasure pagoda with the right hand, emerald, elixir garlands, glazed lines, and a light hold in the left hand, a silver mouse pokes his head and stretches out his hand.

Behind the statue are five ghosts and gods, three on the left and two on the right, either grinning with fangs and human heads and snakes, or hating with two horns on the top of the head, making them look particularly gloomy and terrifying.

And below the statue, there are five large characters engraved in Chinese and Sanskrit:

Viajjān King!

...

Visar Monastery?

Wang Li looked at Zhao Ye with bright eyes. Seeing Zhao Ye nodding, he couldn't help but fall into a moment of thought.

In his previous life, Wang Li wandered around with his master. He had been to Shaolin Temple, Jiuhua Mountain, Emei Mountain, Wutai Mountain, Potala Palace and even some small and ancient temples. He also saw many statues of the four Heavenly Kings, but they were all different.

Later, when a Buddhist master explained the confusion, Wang Li learned that the four statues of the heavenly kings in the wild temples outside the mountain were basically sculpted according to the characters of the four brothers of the Demon family in "The Romance of the Gods" written by Xu Zhonglin of the Ming Dynasty. It is very different from the real four heavenly kings of Buddhism. The statues in Shaolin Temple, Jiuhua Mountain and other places are the real four heavenly kings.

The four great heavenly kings of Buddhism are: the king of the kingdom of throne in the east, the king of throne in the south, the king of throne in the west, the king of plural king of plural in the west, and the king of plural king of plural in the north. The four great heavenly kings are in the first level of heaven, and are the same as Indra.

The Visa Mun mentioned by Zhao Ye just ranked third heavenly king, while the first two were the famous Brahma and Indra in Indian mythology.

Visa Mun lives in Mount Qiandau (or Gandhara Mountain). There are always five ghosts and gods alongside him. One is Nazha (shé) Lou, the second is Tandau, the third is Xi (xī) Mabata, the fourth is Tivāra, and the fifth is Xiuyiluma.

Vaisar is specialized in the protection of the Tathagata temple and the wealth of Buddhism. He is an important guardian of Buddhism and the god of wealth. In Tibetan and Chinese Buddhism, Vaisar is even the incarnation of the treasure Buddha among the five Buddhas and Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea.

His image has been widely circulated in later generations. The prototype of Li Jing, the King of Tota in "The Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West" comes from this.

Of course, what is even more exaggerated is that the third son of Visarman Narajiva, also known as Nazha Kufaro (this ‘Nazha’ is not the ‘Nezha’), also gradually evolved into the son of Li Jing, the general of Chentangguan, the third prince of Nezha. Classic stories about Nezha’s bones and father, flesh and mother, and lotus incarnation also originated from Zen Buddhist scriptures.

Seeing that he had just been immersed in the mood for a moment, Zhao Yun, Zhao Ye, Zhou Cang and others had a surprised expression while Ling'er looked clear. Wang Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Emperor Ming of Han sent envoys to the Western Regions to invite all Buddhas. Buddhism has only been developing in China for more than a hundred years. Zhao Yun and others often live in Yan and Zhao, and their ambitions are not in Buddhism and Taoism, so naturally they are not very clear about the four heavenly kings.

Ling'er is just the opposite of them. She was born and raised in Luoyang. The White Horse Temple on the outskirts of Luoyang is the most famous contemporary Galan. The statues of the four heavenly kings have probably been engraved in Xingxing!

It seems that I will be going to scan literacy today and become a teacher again.

Wang Li sighed, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "Zilong, Ling'er, do you know that Emperor Ming of Han sent an envoy to the Western Regions to welcome the eminent monks, Shemoteng and Zhu Falan?"

"What my brother said about White Horse Temple?"

Wang Li nodded to Ling'er and said, "It's this. Buddhism, also known as Futu, has actually been introduced to Middle Earth since the pre-Qin period, but it disappeared due to the opposition and killing of Emperor First Emperor.

Until the seventh year of Yongping, Emperor Xiao of Ming was shocked to dream that the Buddha came to the west, so he sent the General Cai Yin, Qin Jing and the Doctor Wang Zun and his 18-member man to search for Buddhism. In the country of Dayuezhi, he invited two eminent monks, Moteng and Zhu Falan. After three years, the White Horse Camel Sutra returned, and then translated the "Forty-Two Chapters of Sutra" and built the White Horse Temple. From then on, he settled in Zhongtu.

In the 14th year of Yongping, Taoism saw that Buddhism became increasingly powerful and gradually had a tendency to ban Taoism in the court. The Taoist priest Chu Shanxin of the Five Mountains and the Mountains of Five Mountains, and Fei Shucai expressed his intention to compete with Buddhism and compete with male and female. With the consent of the late emperor, the Buddhist and Taoist sects were compared and tested in the White Horse Temple.

Taoism puts Lingbao scriptures on the left, Buddhism presents the scriptures like relics on the right, and burns them by the fire of the zhān (zhān) Tantan. After a moment, the Lingbao scriptures all destroyed, but the scriptures like relics shine brightly, burning their beauty. In the "Han Shubian", it was recorded that "the five colors of light are straight up in the sky, and the rings are like covers, covering the masses." After this incident, Taoism has turned to Buddhism and many disciples, Chu Shanxin and Fei Shucai was extinct on the spot."

"Sir!" Zhou Cang looked at everyone silently and suddenly asked, "Yezi just said that he was the King of Visarvara. I don't understand what this has to do with the dispute over Buddhism and Taoism you are talking about?"

"Vishaman is the four heavenly kings in Buddhism!" Wang Li shook his head and looked at everyone.

"Brother, do you mean that there is something wrong with Tang Zhou's family worshipping this statue?" Zhao Yun's eyes lit up and he continued, "Tang Zhou is a Taoist disciple, while Visarva is an important Buddha in Buddhism. In theory, the contradictions between Buddhism and Taoism are irreconcilable, so why would Tang Zhou, a Taoist scholar, worship a Buddha statue at home!"

Wang Li looked at Zhao Yun with approval, nodded and said, "That's true, this is also something that Li has never understood. Tang Zhou is the leader of the canal under the command of Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Taiping Road. He is the key to the uprising of Luoyang in Taiping Road. He was almost silenced by Zhang Jiaoji due to the plague poisoning in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other places.

Anyone who can stand at the top of the religion in Taoism cannot be underestimated, but is mostly a person with a strong mind. For example, Xu Fu of the Former Qin Dynasty and Dongfang Shuo of the Former Han Dynasty are also people among them, so one can only be able to float in Fusang and the other can hide in the Golden Gate.

Tang Zhou, a man who has been accustomed to Taoism for many years and has repeatedly participated in the planning and implementation of the Taiping Dao uprising. Even if such a person betrays Zhang Jiao and dies, he will still stick to his beliefs. So why did he worship the Buddhist king at home?"

"There are always exceptions in everything. Will Tang Zhou lose faith in Taoism and turn to Buddhism like Taoist disciples in the previous dynasty?" Zhao Yun thought for a while and then asked.

Wang Li shook his head and paced back and forth in the tent, his eyes full of doubts: "Zilong, although you have a good analysis, Li doesn't think so. Tang Zhou has also dealt with this person. This person is as cunning as a fox and is tough by nature. It is impossible to make him easily betray his beliefs!

In addition, the Buddhism of our Han Dynasty is mainly Hinayana Buddhism. The Buddhas worshipped in the temples of the world are all statues of Buddha Lantern, Sakyamuni Buddha, Maitreya Buddha and other Buddhas in the past, present and future three generations. As far as Li knows, there are only statues of Buddhas worshipped by Visa Muslim God.

As Yezi said just now, the dark cave in the wall obviously existed before the Tang and Zhou apostasy. So even if Tang and Zhou rebelled from Taoism and believed in Buddhism, shouldn’t he worship the Buddha statues of Sakyamuni in the three generations? Why did he only worship Viajjān King of Heaven!"

Although Zhao Yun, Ling'er, Zhao Ye, Zhou Cang and others were stunned, Wang Li was also confused.

The records of Tang and Zhou in history are nothing more than "Jiang disciple Jinan Tang

Zhou wrote to him for a few words, but there was no record afterwards. The fact that Zhang Rang and others colluded with Zhang Jiao was also vague in history.

Since Tang and Zhou were killed in prison, the clues of Tang and Zhou have been cut off. So, what about Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, is it really related to Zhang Jiao?

Originally, I just wanted to check whether Tang Zhou died of assassination and confirm some of the guesses in my heart, but I didn't expect that it would involve this secret of Tang Ji Guaguosi.

Alas, not long ago, I was complaining that I was entangled with Taoism, but now I have discovered some clues of Buddhism, and I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a disaster.

Wang Li sighed: "Yezi, please continue to say it!"

...

Since the secret hidden in Tang Ji Gua Fruit Store was found, Zhao Ye no longer delayed and went back to the inn.

It was not until the third day that Zhao Yegang sat down in the inn hall and ordered a plate of dried roe and a pot of wine. When he saw Zhang Yan and Li Kuan coming together, his eyes were expressionless.

Zhao Ye clattered in his heart, and hurriedly asked the waiter to add two sets of bowls and chopsticks, add two dishes, and pour a full bowl of wine for the two of them. After the waiter left, he immediately turned sideways and asked, "How is it? Are there any news in the Henan government office and the prison today?"

"Boss, it's true that the death of Tang Zhou was very strange!" Zhang Yan and Li Kuan curled their legs and looked at each other for a while. They raised the wine goblet and touched it. Yu Guang glanced around and found that there were only a few people in the hall far away. Then they put down the wine goblet and said in a deep voice.

"Strange, what's weird? Why do you two have such expressions?"

"I don't like to express my feelings, and I don't overthrow it. Isn't this what the boss taught us?" Li Kuan's muscles trembled on his face, and he laughed dryly.

Zhao Ye did not notice Li Kuan's expression, and patted Li Kuan and said with a smile: "Boy, you dare to tease me. Go back and lock yourself up for ten days!"

Confinement? Although I was most afraid of confinement from adults in the past, now I think it would be a blessing if I could confinement!

Li Kuan laughed at himself, and his expression gradually became solemn: "When Zhang Yan and I were still rogue in Kyoto, I was very good at the Henan government officials and the prison guards of the imperial prison in the capital. One of them was named Wang Sheng, who was the prison guards of the imperial prison in the capital. The relationship between us was far from being comparable to others. In the past, we could only say everything we knew and say everything we could.

Yesterday I invited my brother to the Minghe Tower, and during the meal I inquired about Tang Zhou. According to Wang Sheng, the Tang Zhou case involved treason, which caused a lot of controversy in the capital. Everyone thought that Tang Zhou could not escape a punishment, but because His Majesty was pitying his actions, he did not torture severely in prison, but only mentioned him alone.

His sister Tang Qianqian sold her property every day, and she was very attentive. She gradually got to know this Hu woman who was no less than a man. It was not until March 27 that Tang Qianqian suddenly brought a mysterious figure to prison.

The man was wearing a black robe and a felt hat on his head, covering his face tightly, and a strong fragrance on his body. Although it was not lawful to take people to visit prison, because Tang Qianqian was willing to spend money, and Tang Zhou could not escape in prison anyway. Therefore, the brothers only gave a few words and still gave them convenience, allowing the two to visit prison together."

Well, this is normal. Zhao Yegang wanted to nod, but suddenly saw Li Kuan's face gradually pale and suddenly became shocked, and asked hurriedly: "But what's wrong?"

Li Kuan nodded, suddenly looked fearful and kept silent. After a while, he poured a cup of wine and took a breath and took a breath, and then said, "There were six prisoners on duty in the prison that night, including Wang Sheng himself.

In the middle of the night, six people went to check the rounds, and waited for Tang Qianqian and the others to look at Tang Zhou. Until the two of them left, the six people drank two pots of good wine, and drank while passing the time. This was originally part of their daily life, but who would have thought..."

"Who ever thought of anything?"

Li Kuan's throat seemed to be strangled, his face was pale and colorless, and his eyes were staring at Zhao Ye:

"In the middle of the night, Tang Zhou... was asked for his soul by a ghost!"
