The old monk said slowly: "The disciple's Dharma name is Mingde, and comes from the second most famous Buddhist holy land, Takano. The Jianzhen Master at that time sat in Takano and turned into a Buddha in Takano, leaving a Buddha's relics."

Xu Lang couldn't help but be stunned. Although he had heard of the "Buddha Relic" before, he didn't expect that there was really a Buddha Relic. He hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Master Mingde looked at Xu Lang, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then slowly said: "Master Buddha, do you know who is the most legendary among the four beauties in ancient China?"

Xu Lang didn't know why this old monk talked about the four beauties, but as far as Xu Lang knew, among the four beauties Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Zhaojun and Yang Guifei, the most beautiful, legendary, the most mysterious, and the most powerful was naturally Yang Yuhuan and Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty.

Xu Lang immediately said: "It should be Concubine Yang."

When he said this, Xu Lang seemed to think of something in his mind, all of which were strange stories about Yang Guifei.

According to historical records, Yang Guifei was talented, good at welcome and worshipping, well-versed in music, able to sing and dance, and beautiful. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was addicted to Yang Guifei's appearance and lived a day when "the spring night was short and the day was high, and the king would not go to court early from now on."

However, the Anshi Rebellion broke out and the war set off awakened the two of them. After Yang Guifei fled to Mawei Slope with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, she unfortunately became a victim of the war. Her whereabouts are still pursued by future generations.

The nine-level city palace is filled with smoke and dust, and thousands of riders and thousands of cavalry are in the southwest gate.

Cuihua swayed and stopped again, leaving the capital gate for more than a hundred miles west.

The six armies had no choice but to die in front of the horse without launching a helpless army.

The flowers and ornaments are left untie, and the green birds are shaved with jade.

The king covered his face and could not save him. He looked back at the blood and tears flowing.

However, whether Yang Guifei really died at Mawei Slope has become a permanent historical mystery.

Xu Lang likes beauties, so he naturally has learned some stories and legends about the four beauties.

Some people say that Yang Yuhuan may have died in the Buddhist temple. "Old Book of Tang Dynasty Biography of Yang Guifei" records: After the imperial guard general Chen Xuanli and others killed Yang Guozhong and his son, they believed that "the thief was still there" and asked to kill Yang Guifei again to avoid future troubles. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was helpless and said goodbye to the imperial concubine, "and then hanged to death in the Buddhist room." "Zizhi Tongjian Tang Ji" records: Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ordered the eunuch Gao Lishi to take Yang Guifei to the Buddhist temple to hang it. "The History of the Tang Dynasty" records: Gao Lishi hanged Yang Guifei under the pear tree in the Buddhist temple. Chen Hong's "Biography of Everlasting Sorrow" records: Emperor Xuanzong of Tang knew that Yang Guifei could not help but die, but could not bear to see her death, so he asked someone to take her away, "and died in a hurry and died under the ruler group." Leshi's "Biography of Yang Taizhen" records: When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang bid farewell to Yang Guifei, she "begged to worship the Buddha". Gao Lishi then hanged the imperial concubine under the pear tree in front of the Buddhist temple.

Some people also say that Yang Guifei may also die in the chaos of the army. This statement is mainly seen in some descriptions in Tang poetry. Du Fu wrote a poem "Aijiangtou" in Chang'an occupied by An Lushan in the second year of Zhide (757 AD). It contains the sentence "Where is the bright eyes and white teeth now? Blood and bloody souls cannot be returned", implying that Yang Guifei was not hanged to death at Mawei Station, because she would not see blood. Li Yi wrote the seven-character "By Mawei" and the seven-character "By Mawei" and the seven-character "By Mawei" "

The poems such as "Tait for you to wash the blood of lotus" and "Taizhen's blood stained the horse's hooves" also reflect the scene of Yang Guifei being killed by the rioters and died under the weapons. Du Mu's "Thirty Rhymes of Huaqing Palace" "The Noisy Mawei Blood, Scattered Guns of the Feather Forest" in Zhang You's "The Blood Burys the Concubine" in "The Heshes of Huaqing Palace"; Wen Tingyun's "The Return of the Soul is Unpredictable, the Smoke is Destroyed, and the Blood is Burying Empty and the Green Grass is Sorrowful" in "The Legend of the Concubine" also believe that Yang Guifei's blood is not hanged to death.

However, folk legends say that Yang Guifei's death also has other possibilities, such as some people say that she died of swallowing gold. This statement is only seen in the poem "Mawei Xing" used by Liu Yuxi. Liu's poem once wrote: "The green field supports the wind, the yellow dust moves on Mawei Xing, and Yang Guiren on the roadside, and the tomb is three or four feet high. He asked the children in the village that they all said that when they were lucky, the military family killed the flatterers, and the emperor gave up the evil princess. The officials hid the door screen, the noble man held the emperor's clothes, turned his eyes low, and the wind sun was the sun shining. The noble man drank gold chips, and Youhu? Yingwu, and he wore the apricot pills throughout his life, and the color was as good as before." Judging from this poem, Yang Guifei died of swallowing gold.

Some people believe that Yang Guifei did not die at Mawei Post, but was wandered among the people. Yang Guifei did not die at Mawei Post. At that time, the six armies mutiny, the imperial concubine was robbed, and the hairpin and the hairpin was entrusted to the land. The poem clearly states that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang "cannot be saved", so there will never be an edict for death recorded in the official history. Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" said that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had to rebuilt Yang Guifei after returning to the palace. As a result, "the earth in the mud under the Mawei slope was not seen, and the empty place of death was not found", and even the bones could not be found, which clearly imply that Yang Guifei was not dead.

There is a bizarre saying that Yang Guifei went to America. T Bay scholar Wei Juxian claimed in the book "The Chinese Discover America" ​​that he found that Yang Guifei did not die at Mawei Post, but was taken to the distant America.

There is another saying that Yang Guifei escaped from the second edition. The second edition had this view: at that time, the one who was hanged at Mawei Post was a maid. The imperial guard general Chen Xuanli loved the beauty of the imperial concubine and could not bear to kill her newborn. So he conspired with the eunuch Gao Lishi to find a maid instead. Yang Guifei was escorted by Chen Xuanli's confidant to flee south, and walked to the current Shanghi neighborhood, sailing to the sea, and floating to the Niben Kutani-cho Kuzu, and ended in the second edition.

Xu Lang is a history fan, and is even more obsessed with the strange stories of beauty. When he was in high school, he saw many similar records in the bookstore. Perhaps it was because of his idleness. At that time, he was really obsessed with the mystery of Yang Guifei's whereabouts for a long time, and even spent money to buy genuine history books to read, trying to explore how the most beautiful beauty in ancient times died? Where did she die?

Of course, the result can be imagined. For more than a thousand years, many historical experts and scholars have not made any conclusions. Xu Lang, a young boy, naturally could not find out what was wrong.

Xu Lang only knew that although Yang Guifei was not the queen, she was even more powerful than the queen. She was a powerful woman in the Tang Dynasty at that time. The spring night was short and the day was high. From then on, the king did not go on a court early. Think about it, what a beautiful woman a woman who could make the emperor not go on a court early and accompany her every day!

Xu Lang also knew that Yang Guifei was the person who loved lychees the most in history. It can be said that lychees were Yang Guifei's favorite food in her life. None of them. He also saw in history books that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was exhausted and did not know how many horses and many famous soldiers were so tired that he only wanted to win the smile of a beautiful woman.

Therefore, Yang Guifei also has a nickname in history, called "Lychee Beauty".

Xu Lang didn't expect that a classical beauty who was obsessed with when he was a student would think of something today. After hearing Master Mingde's question, he seemed to think of something. He couldn't help but say in a daze: "Master, you shouldn't tell me that Yang Guifei did not die, but escaped to the second edition, right?"

The old monk Mingde nodded slowly, "Master Buddha, this is true. Not only that, Yang Guifei was scheming and was greedy for beauty. In order to maintain her youth forever, she actually stole the relics of Master Buddha Jianzhen."

When Xu Lang heard this, he was shocked again, widened his eyes and asked, "Wait, don't talk so quickly, tell me first, why did Concubine Yang get along with Master Jianzhen? They know each other?"

Afterwards, the old monk Mingde slowly told Xu Lang the whole story, and Xu Lang only then did he know the truth.

The great monk Jianzhen was a famous monk who went to Japan to preach the Dharma in the Tang Dynasty. The two books were often called "Master Guohai" and "Master Tang Dynasty". His common surname was Chunyu. He was from Yangzhou. He became a monk at Daming Temple in Yangzhou at the age of fourteen. He once traveled to Chang'an and Luoyang. He eventually became a generation of monks.

At that time, the two Buddhist precepts were incomplete and monks could not take the precepts according to the rules. In 733 AD, monks Rong and Puzhao sent Tang envoys to Tang and invited high monks to teach the precepts. After visiting for ten years, they decided to invite Jianzhen. In 742 (the first year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty), Jianzhen refused to accept the dissuasion of his disciples and decided to cross the east. Due to the obstruction of local officials and the dangerous waves on the sea, he failed to make a trip four times. He drifted to Hainan Island for the fifth time, and Rong died of illness and Jianzhen was blind.

On the sixth time of the eastward journey, Jianzhen was given a grand gift from Emperor Kokan and Emperor Shengwu. On February 1, 754, the important minister Fujiwara Nakamaro personally welcomed him in Hanoi Prefecture. On February 4, Jianzhen and his party arrived in Nara and led Japanese Buddhist affairs with another local Huayan Sect monk, Ryobi, who was named "Traveling Ding* Master", and respectfully called "Master of the Great Monk".

Jianzhen's eastward travel has great historical significance and has promoted the exchange and development of China-Europe culture. Buddhism has been spread more widely to East Asia, which has had a positive and far-reaching impact on the development of the second-tier religion and cultural undertakings, and has enhanced the friendship between the people of China-Europe.

"Tianbao" is the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the husband of Yang Guifei. From a time perspective, it was after Yang Guifei escaped to the second edition, and it was the period when the second edition was the most prosperous and glorious period. Yang Guifei escaped to this point. In order to seek peace, it was reasonable to seek the help of Master Jianzhen.

However, Xu Lang got an unexpected message from the old monk Mingde.

According to the old monk Mingde, the great monk Jianzhen at that time was blind and could not see the visitor, but he had a compassionate heart. Moreover, Yang Yuhuan was a national mother-in-law from his country's "Western Tang Dynasty". The great monk Jianzhen was compassionate and took in Yang Guifei, using his own power relationship to protect Yang Guifei.

At that time, Yang Guifei was only in her thirties and was young, and the great monk Jianzhen was already in his twilight years. With his Buddhist practice, it was time to become a Buddha.

Concubine Yang witnessed Master Jianzhen's painting and becoming a Buddha. In order to preserve her beauty, she actually stole Master Jianzhen's Buddhist relics.

After learning such information, how could Xu Lang not be surprised? They are all from their own country. Yang Guifei was embarrassed and threw it abroad. She was greedy for beauty and could not steal other people's relics!

Xu Lang calmed down a little, and then asked hurriedly: "What should we do after Yang Guifei stole the relics? Can we stay young forever?"

Master Mingde said slowly: "In fact, not only that, she can live forever."
