Chapter 536: Wuzong Shaolin
"Then, can we go in and have a look?" Cheng Tingting attached to Qin Xuan's ear and asked secretly again.
"This, this shouldn't be possible!" Qin Xuan was unsure.
"Then, why can't that?" Cheng Tingting asked rhetorically, with a faint disappointment on her face.
"That's it, let's go tomorrow to see the situation!" Qin Xuan thought for a moment, and could only say so.
"That, okay then!" Cheng Tingting had no choice but to sit back, and began to eat her own food with complicated thoughts.
After eating, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and after breakfast the next day, everyone began to march towards Shaolin.
……
The sky is clear, the sky is as clear as washing, clear and clean as an orchid, the clear makes people feel comfortable, the white clouds are like flocculent, soft and graceful, and the people who see it dream of being able to lie on it, shaking their little feet, enjoying the warmth of the sun.
And this kind of weather is also a good season to go out to travel or mountaineering, that day from time to time in the sky flew a group of unknown birds, light wings up and down, flying over the green mountains, flying over the river, chirping happily, flying freely among the green mountains and white clouds.
This is a forest that grows in the middle of the mountainside, verdant green, full of vitality, it rained last night, so after the rain in the green mountains, it is more ethereal and clear, beautiful, people walking in the forest can not help but take a deep breath, so the whole chest and heart are filled with the fresh breath full of earthy fragrance, it is very comfortable.
And in the middle of the woods, a path winds its way through it, and the bluestone steps climb up the hill until it disappears into the greenery in the distance. Through the dense woods, an ancient bell faintly sounded from the top of the mountain, "Knock Boom!!" to tell the passage of time and the vicissitudes of history.
The stone crevices around the bluestone steps are covered with green moss, and the middle part has been polished by people who have been coming and going for thousands of years.
And at this moment, on the top of this stone step, there were ten people who walked up laughing and laughing, and these ten people were naturally Qin Xuan and the others!
"The air here is so good, it's so comfortable!"
"That's natural! This is the location of the Shaolin Temple, and there is the breath of the Buddha in the natural air, so when you take a breath, you will feel very ethereal in your heart, which is more comfortable than taking the Ten Great Tonic Pills!"
"Hehe, Brother Xuanzi, what you said is too exaggerated, if that were the case, then this place would have been crowded a long time ago!"
"I'm telling the truth, why doesn't anyone believe it!"
"Brother Qin Xuan, Yu'er believes in you!"
"Hehe, it's still our fish!"
Playing and playing, everyone along the stone steps continue to go up, and when they reach the top of the mountain, they see the corner of the eaves pavilion from a distance, wisps of incense candles and green smoke rise to the sky, the wind faintly comes a burst of Buddhist chanting that makes people's hearts calm, and the pilgrims who come and go continue to enter and exit the temple gate, showing that the incense of this ancient temple is thriving.
Everyone laughed, came to the mountain gate, only to see a piece of "Shaolin Temple" branded with the quaint plaque on the door, its gesture is vigorous and vigorous, the momentum is extraordinary!
"We're finally here, Brother Xuanzi, let's go in!"
In Cheng Tingting's cheers, everyone walked into the gate and walked towards the Heavenly King Palace.
Between the mountain gate and the palace of the heavenly king, there is a long road, and on both sides of the road is a forest of steles under the shade of pine and cypress. There are more than 20 stone tablets of the past dynasties here, such as "Monument to the Return of Sectarians to the Mountain", "Monument to the Zen Master of Xixi" and so on.
There is a long corridor on the east side of the road, there are more than 100 famous monuments from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty displayed in the corridor, there is the name of the tablet corridor, and everyone shuttles over immediately!
After admiring these stone tablets, everyone finally came to the Tianwang Palace, there are two tall statues of the Buddha Vajra Protector in front of the hall, and the statues of the four heavenly kings of "wind, tune, rain and shun" are molded behind the hall, all of which are lifelike.
Then everyone came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which is the center of the temple's Buddhist activities, and is called the three major Buddha halls together with the Tianwang Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. The hall is dedicated to the statues of Shakyamuni, Medicine Buddha, and Amitabha Buddha.
In the middle of the hall hangs the Kangxi Emperor's imperial pen book "Baoshu Fanglian" four big characters, there is a statue of Guanyin on the back wall of the screen wall, and there are eighteen Arhat statues on both sides. The whole building is majestic and magnificent.
In front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, there is an incense niche for pilgrims to incense, of course, Qin Xuan and others passed, after the incense, everyone wandered around and came to the Thousand Buddha Palace.
The Thousand Buddha Hall is located behind the Lixue Pavilion of Shaolin Temple, also known as the Pilu Temple, and is the last hall in the temple. The murals in the hall are very famous, and they are treasures in the murals of Shaolin Temple. The back of the main hall and the east and west walls are painted with colorful murals, with "Thirteen Stick Monks Save the Tang King", "Five Hundred Arhats Pilutu", etc., the colors are gorgeous, the composition is harmonious, the clothes are fluttering, and they are famous all over the world.
"Brother Xuanzi, where are we going next, going to the Scripture Pavilion?" After seeing the murals, Cheng Tingting asked, in the Scripture Pavilion, she has never forgotten it!
"I don't know, why don't we go over and have a look first?" Qin Xuan shook his head, and then looked at her.
"Master Qin!" And at this moment, a voice suddenly came, Qin Xuan turned his head, but saw a monk in a robe walking over.
This monk is middle-aged, his face seems to be filled with a layer of Buddha light, at first glance he is a person who is deeply immersed in Buddhism, at this moment he saw Qin Xuan and walked over quickly.
"Master Xuankong!" Qin Xuan's face was stunned when he saw this person, and then he was stunned, and then he put his hands together.
"Amitabha, Lord Qin, I really didn't expect to meet in this place, Lord Qin came to the land of the old man, why didn't he say hello in advance!" Xuankong looked at Qin Xuan and folded his hands.
"Hehe, Master Xuankong, I didn't expect it in advance!" Qin Xuan said with a smile, "Master Xuankong, this time I also went out to play with my family, it seems that I want to disturb the master!"
This master Xuankong was met by Qin Xuan in the desert pagoda, and the Chinese government sent a lot of Buddhist scholars to the Buddhist scriptures on the fourth floor of the pagoda, so Xuankong, who was the host of the Shaolin Temple, naturally also passed.
Therefore, he is also a person that Qin Xuan is familiar with!
"Amitabha, Lord Qin, since the last time we parted, we haven't seen each other for almost a year, this time Lord Qin came to the land of the old man, but let the old man do his best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord!" Xuankong looked at Qin Xuan with a smile.
For Qin Xuan, he admired it a lot, the last time he was in the desert pagoda, he and many Buddhist scholars discussed Buddhism with Qin Xuan, but in the end it was not Qin Xuan's hand, so when he saw Qin Xuan at this moment, his heart was complicated, but he wanted to invite him to talk about it.
"That being the case, Master Xuankong, we'll bother you a lot!"
Qin Xuan smiled again, seeing Xuankong at this moment, Qin Xuan was also very happy, of course, in the joy, he also had a different mind, after all, the other party was the host of Shaolin, that was a lot of convenience!
Then everyone followed Xuankong, and after a while, they came to a meditation room in the back. The location of this meditation room is relatively remote, surrounded by ancient trees and dense greenery, bringing a rare coolness to this paradise in the middle of the hot summer.
And the sun of noon sprinkled down between the gaps in the leaves, and became round or square irregular spots of light on the ground, and the breeze gently swept the branches and leaves, and those spots of light swayed gently, as soft as the fragrance of lilies, and those who shook could not open their eyes.
Moreover, the fresh smell of the earth, grass and trees filled the air, making people smell it, and the irritability was suddenly swept away, and the mood immediately became happy. And through the small woods, there is a huge stone platform in the distance, out of the cliff and paved, standing on it and looking at the cliff, the distant mountains and near views are in full view, it is a good place to cultivate sentiment.
"This place is really nice!" Qin Xuan exclaimed after taking a deep breath.
"Amitabha, Lord Qin has praised it, please come in with me!" After Xuankong smiled together, he pushed open the door in front of him, this is the abbot's room, and it is also the place to receive pilgrims, Qin Xuan looked at it and nodded immediately.
On the opposite side of the door, there is a Buddha statue hanging on the wall, under the Buddha statue, there is a futon, and next to it, there are tables and chairs, everything is simple and orderly, very simple and natural.
"Donors, please sit down, please allow the old man to go out for a while!"
After Xuankong bowed to everyone, he retreated, and after Qin Xuan and the others sat down, it didn't take long for Xuankong to come over with a tea tray.
"Master Qin, this is the bitter tea that Lao Qu once planted himself, today Qin Shizhu came over, and Lao Qu borrowed it to entertain Qin Shizhu!"
"Hehe, Master Xuankong is too polite, thinking that this bitter tea must be a cherished thing, today we are blessed!" Qin Xuan said with a smile.
"Amitabha, Lord Qin has won the prize!" After the eleventh ceremony of Xuankong, he began to brew tea, and soon, a fragrance of tea spread, and it didn't take long for him to pick up the teapot and slowly pour tea into the teacup in front of him, and the tea was poured into the teacup, and in the curling water, a deeper tea fragrance suddenly permeated the entire room.
"Good tea!" After Qin Xuan picked up the teacup, he took a sip gently, and suddenly a taste that he had never felt before exploded among his billions of buds, and Qin Xuan was in a trance in an instant, as if at this moment, he had experienced a reincarnation.
"Amitabha, Qin Shizhu, this bitter tea, also known as reincarnation tea, after drinking a sip, there will be a feeling of experiencing a reincarnation, which is very beneficial to the perception of Buddhism, but this bitter tea is not easy to plant, it takes twelve years to pick once!"
Xuankong also picked up the teacup in front of him, and after taking a sip, he looked at Qin Xuan and explained slowly.
"You can only pick it once in twelve years?"
Hearing his words, Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then took a sip again, and after experiencing that kind of reincarnation again, Qin Xuan said: "Master Xuankong, thank you for this bitter tea today, so let's do it, I also have a kind of tea planted at home, although it is not as good as this bitter tea, but it is also very good to drink, and when I go back, I will send some to the master!"
"Amitabha, then the old man is here to thank Lord Qin first!"
Xuankong clasped his hands together, he knew that Qin Xuan was extraordinary, and he didn't see very well in worldly things, so as soon as Qin Xuan said it, he accepted it!
