Shengquan Temple, located in Xinxing Village, 15 kilometers west of Yangquan City, Shanxi Province, has a history that can be traced back to the early days of the Tang Dynasty.

The temple sits in the north and faces south, is built on the mountain, covers an area of 1,085 square meters.

The whole temple takes the main hall as the central axis, the left and right are symmetrical, the front yard is the newly built four-storey ring-shaped Yuanchen Palace, the Tianwang Hall and the Three Temples of the Mountain Gate Style Building, the Three Ancestors Palace, the main hall of the upper courtyard is the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the east and west are respectively equipped with the Guanyin Palace, the Dizang Palace. The backyard is an ancient temple building with a long history.

In the Yangquan Buddha world, the status of Shengquan Temple is quite transcendent, ranking first among the top ten famous temples in Yangquan, and is known as the enlightenment place of Yangquan Buddhism.

Of course, all the places of interest nowadays cannot escape the fate of gradually becoming scenic spots, even Buddhist temples.

Because of its status in Yangquan Buddhism and the seemingly good scenery built on the mountain, Shengquan Temple has gradually become a favorite tourist attraction for the people of Yangquan City and other nearby cities.

In the early morning, as the morning bell echoed, the Shengquan Temple also woke up from the silence.

Because it is not a weekend, there will definitely not be too many tourists who come to play today, so the monks are not in a hurry, and the fourth uncle will start to do morning classes after finishing the step-by-step process, and the sound of chanting echoes in this thousand-year-old temple.

In fact, even on weekends and holidays, most tourists arrive after 9 o'clock.

At this time, the sky is just dawning, who will climb the mountain at this time?

The sky had just dawned, and a faint golden glow was sprinkled miserly, and most of the narrow and rugged mountain road was still shrouded in darkness.

But a figure climbed the mountain road in the darkness, and even reached the halfway point of the mountain, and the outline of the Shengquan Temple could be seen from afar.

He looked to be only about twenty years old, dressed in shabby but clean monk's robes, with red lips and white teeth, and a handsome appearance.

His movements were unhurried, as if he didn't care about his surroundings at all, just walked slowly towards the mountain, step by step.

If you look at this speed, I am afraid that he has been climbing the mountain since the early hours of the morning, so that he can reach the mountainside in the early morning.

The morning dew on the mountain was so heavy that it had soaked the hem of his clothes, but he looked calm and calm, as if he didn't mind any situation he was in, and was just focused on what was in front of him.

And what he had in front of him was...... Mountain.

A moment later, the sun on the horizon, like a freshly peeled egg yolk, finally broke out of the horizon completely, casting a warm golden glow on the earth.

And the young and handsome monk also happened to walk in front of the door of the Holy Spring Temple.

The monk who had just finished the morning class had just opened the door at this time, and was sweeping the floor in front of the door, looking at the monk who suddenly appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Really, how could anyone climb the mountain so early?

The monk looked at the monk in amazement, and his eyes stayed on his dew-soaked clothes for a long time, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Amitabha. ”

Jue Ran clasped his hands together, with a gentle smile on his face, and said softly: "This senior brother, may I ask if Master Junneng can come to visit in the poor monk Longhua Temple." ”

Jueran's voice echoed in his ears, and the monk came back to his senses, but then his face was full of shock, and he stammered: "Dragon...... Longhua Temple?!"

Jueran smiled and bowed slightly.

The shock on the face of the monk became more and more irrepressible, and he directly threw down the broom in his hand and turned around and ran towards the temple.

But after just running two steps, he stopped again, turned around and ran back in a panic, folded his hands, and said respectfully: "Master Jueran, please wait, the little monk will go to preside over the abbot." ”

When the words landed, the monk ran into the temple in a panic again.

Jueran seemed to be unimpressed, and stood quietly outside the gate of Shengquan Temple.

After a while, the melodious bell echoed inside and outside the Shengquan Temple, and with the sound of the bell, a group of more than 20 monks walked out of the Shengquan Temple quickly.

At the head is an old monk in a robe, with a thin figure and kind eyebrows, who sees Jue from a distance and walks out quickly.

Jueran raised his feet and stepped forward, clasping his hands together: "Amitabha, I have seen Master Certo." ”

"Amitabha. ”

Master Dingneng also folded his hands and said softly: "The poor monk felt something in his heart early in the morning, and was wondering when, but he didn't expect it to be the nephew of Jueran of Longhua Temple who came to visit. ”

The eyes of the other monks of Shengquan Temple were fixed on Jueran, and their eyes were full of surprise, curiosity, and exploration.

It's like something that has only existed in legends all along.

The two monks, one old and one young, stood opposite each other at this time, both with gentle expressions, with a quiet and leisurely atmosphere, which made people subconsciously forget the young gap between the two, just like two monks of the same age standing together, looking extremely harmonious.

Of course, no one else will be surprised by this.

After all, Jueran is from Longhua Temple!

And the status and weight of these three words of Longhua Temple in the hearts of these monks are really too heavy.

Because...... There's a Buddha there!

Standing at the gate of the temple and saying a few words, you will be able to enter the temple even if you feel it.

After paying homage to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in each hall, the time has reached 10 o'clock in the afternoon.

In the room, a pot of tea will be brewed, and it will be gently poured into the cup in front of Jueran, and the fragrance of tea will overflow.

Jue Ran bowed his head in thanks, picked up the cup and took a sip gently.

I saw Master Dingneng put down the teapot and asked softly, "Is the Fa Tianzhen Buddha okay?"

Jueran put down the cup and replied with a smile: "Everything is fine with the ancestor." ”

"Good. ”

Master Dingneng nodded slightly, and then said with a sigh: "I didn't expect that since the temple was closed fifteen years ago, Longhua Temple has once again had disciples walking in the world. ”

Hearing this, Jueran said gently: "The ancestor said that heaven and earth are different, and my Buddhist disciples should be universal. ”

"True Buddha. ”

Master Ding Neng was sincerely admired, and immediately looked at Jue Ran and asked, "Master Jue Ran's nephew came to Yangquan this time, but it was for the matter of locking the demon well?"

"That's right. The lock demon well was set up by my senior brother of the celestial phenomena back then, and since there has been a change, it should naturally be the responsibility of my disciples of Longhua Temple. ”

Jue Ran nodded slightly, and said, "This time, the poor monk came to completely solve the scourge of locking the demon well!"

After a pause, Jueran opened his mouth and asked, "The specific situation of the lock demon well at this time, can you ask Master Dingneng to tell me one or two?"

"The situation...... Not optimistic!"

When Master Ding Neng heard this, he sighed slightly, and then replied softly: "The people of the Nine Divisions have blocked all the areas near the Lock Demon Well, and the monks in my temple, but all those who have some cultivation, have all rushed over there to help, but they still can't stop the evil qi from leaking, and the thing inside ...... Maybe it's going to break the seal soon!"
