Chapter 184 Emperor Wu
It was Emperor Wu's first personal expedition to the grassland, and he defeated the Yuezhi Kingdom, the overlord of the grassland at that time, and inspired both the government and the public.

However, due to the limited money, food and military power at the time, after the army severely defeated the Yueshi, Emperor Wu did not pursue and fight fiercely. Instead, he stationed at Langhou and built official affairs.

This is the first time Jiang Sile has read about wolf throat in a book. Even the introduction of wolf throat in Qingyi's history books is very sloppy.

Jiang Sile quickly browsed a few more pages, thinking that since the first Western Expedition had begun, the second one, or even the third one she wanted to find, should not be far away.

After flipping through a few more pages, Jiang Sile discovered that the scrawled handwriting that had been written on this book had disappeared, and was replaced by new handwriting, a neat handwriting that was written with some force and was a bit clumsy.

It seems that Qingyang Temple has a new host. Jiang Sile couldn't help but think this, and turned the pages of the book faster.

Appeared……

Jiang Sile was overjoyed. This was the first time Emperor Wu was mentioned in the book.

It seems that the host was received by Emperor Wu. As for the reason, I don’t know.

But it was obvious that the host had a deep impression of Emperor Wu. There was a long section in the book about Emperor Wu's appearance and demeanor. The boastful words required Jiang Sile to turn two or three pages in a row before he stopped.

Jiang Sile looked at the subsequent content in more detail. It could be said that he recognized every word, for fear of missing something.

After Emperor Wu first met with the host, he met with him several more times.

According to what the host recorded, he was not the only monk whom Emperor Wu met at that time. ,

The emperor was followed by many Taoist priests, alchemists, monks, and even a Taoist nun.

However, when writing about this Taoist nun, the host used very strict words.

Jiang Sile learned from the annotation next to it that this was Emperor Wu's aunt - Taoist Aunt Xuanqing, or she could also be called Princess Chunyi.

Jiang Sile was not very familiar with this ancestor. She browsed through her memories in a hurry. It seemed that Princess Anle didn't know much about this ancestor, and there was nothing useful in her memories.

Jiang Sile turned his attention to the book page again. According to the host's description, Princess Chunyi was unmarried all her life (up to this point), addicted to Taoism, and was a quite famous Taoist practitioner.

Emperor Wu was also extremely kind to his aunt, and even took her with him for such important events as personally conquering the Yuezhi.Of course, there are also many monks and Taoist priests with them.

The next dozens of pages are devoted to discussing the meaning of the sutras and Taoist canon with these practitioners of Taoism and Buddhism.

The content inside reminded Jiang Sile of those obscure history books. It seemed that the same was true for scriptures, which were vague but not clear-cut.

Jiang Sile hurriedly passed by again. She neither practiced Buddhism nor Taoism, and she didn't even believe in gods and Buddhas.

Huh~
Jiang Sile snorted coldly. If there really is a god, why not send her back to her original world?

Why not stop her when she has blood on her hands?
If there really are gods and Buddhas, then the sky full of gods and Buddhas is nothing more than that.

After those ten pages of Buddhist discussion, the following pages return to daily temple life.

The original gray stone steps at the entrance of the temple are in tatters, and some of the stones have even cracked or fallen there.

The host wrote seriously that once he saves another horse of sesame oil money, he can lay solid bluestones as steps on the mountain path entering the temple.

He called this an "impossible feat" and recorded the temple's income and expenditure in detail in the pages of the book, showing great concern.

Very pragmatic.

Jiang Sile commented.After seeing the highest mountain, you can still work hard on your own hilltop.

Such a person indeed deserves her praise.

Jiang Sile rarely raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly.

Suddenly, the aroma of food spread over her. The aroma of grains and flour reached her nostrils, making her mouth water.

Jiang Sile looked up from the pile of books and saw A Yishi pushing in the door with breakfast.

She quickly put down what she was doing and went up to him, helping him pick up the plate.

Although he knew that A Yishi could finish it alone, Jiang Sile still unconsciously joined in.

"Why did you wake up so early? Can you sleep a little longer?" Jiang Sile put the plate and small bowl from the tray to the table and said with a smile.

"Seeing that you woke up early, I was afraid that you were hungry..." A Yishi's voice was as low as the strings of a cello. He was smiling at the corner of his mouth, looking particularly sunny and cheerful.

Jiang Sile met his smiling eyes, her earlobes couldn't help but turn red, and she was so shy that she stopped arguing with him.

The two of them sat quietly at the table. Jiang Sile put away the thick books that looked like dictionaries and concentrated on drinking the red rice porridge and the oil cake in the bowl.

The chives are crispy, full of wheat flavor, and very delicious. Jiang Sile eats them with relish.

A Yishi's appetite was larger than hers. There were three fried cakes on his plate. He only took two bites of each and finished them easily.

After drinking another bowl of red rice porridge, I felt that my intestines and stomach became warm and supple, my stomach felt warm, and I felt a little more energetic.

After breakfast, Jiang Sile stretched out and planned to continue studying these books. She thought she should be able to come up with something.

A Yishi's Daxia dialect was not very good. He could speak in daily life, but when it came to reading, he had a headache.

It was the "Spring and Autumn" that he often picked up and flipped through. In the past three or four days, he had only read a few pages.

The main book couldn't stand it, so A Yishi simply bought a few story books and sat down to read them with Jiang Sile.

Jiang Sile turned to the page he saw last time. The old monk was trying to save some money for sesame oil and buy some bluestone slabs to use as steps on the way to the mountain to worship the temple.

But Qingyang Temple is located in a remote area and on the outskirts of the city.

Most of the pilgrims who come here are farmers and weaver girls nearby, and a few are landlords and merchants who live nearby.

People in this city don't have much faith in Buddhism and Taoism. Those who want to have children worship the Bodhisattva, those who want to travel far away worship the Taoist Lord, and those who often wash their hands by the river or live by the river worship the local one. Water God.

For Qingyang Temple, they have few believers, and since this dynasty worships Taoism but not Buddhism, survival is even more difficult.

At this point in the record, Jiang Sile probably already understood the basic situation of Qingyang Temple at that period.

Even though he had met with Emperor Wu, it was because Emperor Wu liked to convene monks and Taoists to debate and talk about scriptures, which had little effect on the reputation of Qingyang Temple.

After all, all the famous temples and temples in Chengzhou were received by Emperor Wu.

But this incident attracted Jiang Sile's attention.
