Chapter 89: Counting Arhats and Signing Words
Shen Junqian and Shen Junluo were some distance away from De'an and the others, they didn't know that the people below had decided to climb by themselves but to take the flying sedan chair, and after a long time of news, the Shen Junqian sisters took a group of people around them to continue to climb the last hundred and ten steps.
As soon as they climbed the last steps, this time except for Shen Junqian and Su Ying, who helped them find a place to sit down, everyone else sat down on the ground without image.
Who knew that not long after Shen Junqian and the others climbed to the last step, De'an and the others appeared comfortably in front of everyone in a flying sedan chair.
Shen Junqian and Shen Junluo had just come up, and they were still panting, and when they saw Xiao Shi, De'an and others getting off the flying sedan chair with great grace, they were really depressed.
"Mother, didn't you say that you had to walk up to be pious? Didn't you say that you had to come up this time? Why did you all take a flying sedan chair?" Shen Junluo was also even more angry by De'an's extremely calm and leisurely attitude. Said to walk up together, but you worked hard to climb up, thinking about the ones that didn't climb up below, and you still secretly had some joy in your heart, but you found that people had already sat in the sedan chair, and they came up easily and comfortably, and the original sense of superiority suddenly became a little sad and angry.
De'an took the water handed over by the maid, drank it freely, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said slowly: "Oh, we are walking on foot, but we are the last to take a flying sedan chair, so a little distance from the Buddha will not be blamed, besides, there are two people represented by you and Sister Qian'er, the Buddha must feel our piety." โ
Shen Yuzhen next to her had already covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed on the side, and the bright eyes of the others knew at a glance that they were all holding back. But they have already come up like this, and besides, the Xiao family is all elders, and the most unfortunate ones are sisters and cousins, and here they are Shengjun Qian and Shen Junluo with the lowest ranks, what else can they say?
De'an probably only knew that he couldn't go too far, and finally didn't want to be so unrelenting as usual, so he only replied with a smile and stopped laughing at his daughter and niece. However, Xiao Shi felt a little sorry for them, and carefully asked Shen Junqian and Shen Junluo if they had any discomfort, and saw that the two of them were a little red and sweaty, and they didn't let go until there were no other problems, but they couldn't help but tell the two of them, if there was any discomfort, quickly say don't hold back.
Shen Junqian had news for a while, and only then did he have time to look at this Buddhist temple that was extremely famous in Kyoto and even in the entire Dayin.
Now the place where they are is a large open space at the gate of Qinglong Temple, there is a big three-legged tripod in the open space not far from the main entrance of Qinglong Temple, there are three thick incense sticks of baby fingers inserted on it, and there are a lot of small incense sticks densely inserted around the three coarse incense, and from time to time you can also see tourists inserting a stick of incense into it.
There are a few trees planted around the clearing, and some of the trees are so thick that they can't be hugged by one person. There are white fences on both sides of the clearing, and from the top of the fence you can see through the gaps in the branches that there are steep mountains below, and the various vegetation that is either dense or sparse, and a little farther away is foggy, and it is difficult to see what is below.
The whole mountain gate and the gate building behind the Qinglong Temple are white, the mountain gate adopts the stone gate of one door and three holes, which is divided into one main gate and two partial gates, and these three gates symbolize the "three liberation gates" of Buddhism "empty door", "no phase door", "no door". On either side of the gate are two small wings facing each other.
From the mountain gate, you can already see the main gate behind it, the main gate is closed, only two side doors are open, and people enter and exit from time to time. There are also two stone lions squatting at the gate, and the walls on both sides of the gate stick out straight, one wall reads "Nan no Amitabha", and one side is engraved with a large Buddhist carving of various Buddha statues.
As soon as Xiao, De'an and the others came up, two thin little novices wearing monk's robes immediately ran out, greeted Xiao and others, and led everyone to the Qinglong Temple's special room for entertaining guests.
Shen Junqian walked all the way and looked all the way, the architectural style here is low-key, and naturally it seems to be changing according to the mountain situation of Qinglong Mountain, and the sea of clouds can be seen from time to time not far away. There are many trees, and there are many birds in it, and you can hear the crisp bird calls along the way, and the whole temple has a feeling of silence precipitated in the changing time, which seems to be faintly beyond the mundane world, and the people who come here seem to have calmed down with their hearts.
"This is our yard? It seems to look pretty good!" The two little novices took Shen Junqian and the others to the gate of a courtyard, and then retreated, and Shen Junqian followed him in and couldn't help but praise it. Dean had someone book a yard in advance, and one side of the yard was probably under the hanging mountain.
Shen Yuzhen in front heard it and looked back and said with a smile, "It's good, in fact, the guest rooms of Qinglong Temple are very good, the environment is quiet, the rooms are simple and atmospheric, and it is rare that there are some good views, our current courtyard is, you look at that." โ
Everyone looked in the direction of Shen Yuzhen's finger, and they could actually cast one side of the wall to see the endless sea of clouds outside and other peaks looming in the sea of clouds.
Beautiful, a fairyland on earth.
Shen Junqian's heart instantly floated with these eight words. The others were also amazed, probably not expecting such a surprise. Especially Shen Junying and Xu Yaqin, one has a lively temperament, and the other is difficult to go out on weekdays, and they can't help but exclaim when they see such a beautiful scenery.
Everyone had climbed so far of the stairs before, and they were all frail women, so Xiao Shi instructed everyone to go back to their rooms to freshen up and rest for a while before going to worship the Buddha and burn incense, and then they would try vegetarian food with Qinglong, and then go around in the afternoon.
Although De'an and the others were sitting in a flying sedan chair behind them, the long road ahead was not in vain, and they were really tired. When I climbed up, I sweated a lot, and it is estimated that I look a little wolf now, just to freshen up and change my clothes. It has always been indispensable for women to bring spare clothes when they go out, so as to ensure that even if some accidents occur, they will not be poor in front of others. Therefore, there is no need for Xiao Shi to say this, everyone dispersed and freshened up first.
Shen Junqian and Shen Junluo are almost the two masters of the most wolf bรจi this time, they climbed from beginning to end, and the Han was wet and wet, and now the clothes are sticky and extremely uncomfortable. After following their mothers back to the room, they were all arranged to take a bath, but fortunately, the hot water here is available at any time, eliminating the need to let the next person burn it, as long as you go to the big kitchen of Qinglong Temple to mention it, it is really convenient.
Although De'an really wanted to meet Master Qingyun, since the last time he accompanied someone to book the courtyard, he asked his subordinates to ask about the master's whereabouts, but there was no news at all, and even the monks of Qinglong Temple didn't know what their abbot was busy with now. However, when he entered the Qinglong Temple, De'an also personally asked a few words about Master Qingyun with the two little novices who had just come to lead the way, but the whereabouts of Master Qinglong were too difficult to determine, and the two little novices didn't know, and finally De'an had to give up.
When everyone gathered together to worship the Buddha, they were all in much better spirits.
"There is a very interesting number of Arhats in Qinglong Temple, if you little girls are interested, you can go and play. Although she hasn't been here much in recent years, Shen Yuzhen's understanding of Qinglong Temple is not a day or two, so she introduced it to Shen Junqian sisters.
"Count Arhats, what is that, is it fun for the eldest aunt?" Shen Junying reacted quickly and immediately asked.
"That's right, what is that, didn't the second aunt used to play a lot?" Xu Yaqin, who was originally starting to turn pale, not only began to slowly turn ruddy after washing, but even the whole person's mental state improved a lot, and when she heard Shen Junying ask, she couldn't help but ask.
Looking at this group of little girls, the Xiao family all smiled in unison, and De'an said: "I have also played this number of arhats, and it is combined with fortune telling, which can be regarded as a special place in Qinglong Temple." โ
"There is a big Arhat Temple in Qinglong Temple, which has one hundred and eight Arhats, divided on both sides. Each Arhat's expression is different, there is a number under each Arhat, you choose the most pleasing to the eye among these Arhats, and then give the number you selected to the master of the Luohan Hall, they will give you the corresponding number to sign the sign, if you are interested, you will take the sign to find the master who solves the sign to help you solve, if you don't want to solve it, it's fine. Shen Yuzhen had played before, so she was very familiar with it, so she explained.
