In the blink of an eye, the day has come to perform the merits of releasing life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After breakfast, the guest monk came to invite each other to move, and the group took the guards to Taiwu Mountain behind the temple.

Jingping Lake is at the foot of the first peak of Taiwu Mountain.

The first peak is the lowest among the five peaks of Taiwu Mountain, and a plurality of clear springs flowing down from the five peaks converge in one place, flowing out from the middle of the two big rocks on the mountainside of the first peak, flying down, falling down in the gentle place at the foot of the mountain, the water drops through the stones, and gradually gathers water into a lake.

The lake was originally not large. Since the Jokhang Temple was built here, the monks and believers were organized to contribute money and efforts to widen the bottom of the lake and the surface of the lake, and surrounded the lake with Chiba rocks, and built a dike. Because the Chiba rocks are mostly grayish-white, the world calls them white causeways. The lake is densely planted with willows, peaches, bamboos, plums, etc., and the mountains are green, and the water is painted blue, such as in the painting.

The incense of the Jokhang Temple is prosperous, and it is not unrelated.

It's no wonder that Qingzhuo is running towards the back mountain every day.

At this time, he had already run briskly in front of the group, smiling more and more beautifully under the warm winter sun.

When they came to the Pure Bottle Lake, Kou'er and the monks were already waiting in advance. Previously, Zhan Lu sent people to buy some fish and shrimp from major restaurants and restaurants in Beijing, and now they are packed in ten large wooden barrels and neatly placed by the lake.

The great monk who presided over the ceremony, Chongzhen, saw us coming, gave a salute and pronounced the Buddha's name, and recited with the monks: "All Buddhas, etc...... I hope that after you are released, you will never encounter swallowing, the net and catch together, get the best of the day, inherit the power of the three treasures, and be reborn in the Pure Land of the West with fate...... And may they capture the living, etc., and turn their hearts to goodness, and be liberated together...... , take refuge in the Three Jewels and send Bodhi, cage nets to catch and avoid leaving, the sea is wide and the sky is flying, with the Buddha giving birth to the Western Heavens, the South is not born in the Buddha realm Bodhisattva Mahasattva, Mahaprajnaparami...... There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, three turns around the living soul, and there is no Guanyin Bodhisattva in the south...... May this merit be used to repay the fourfold grace and to help the three hardships. …… Born in Elysium. The merits of releasing life are extraordinary, and the boundless victories and blessings are all dedicated......"

After a moment of salute, Qing Zhuo and I rolled up our sleeves and scooped out a fish and gently put it into the water. The fish left the scoop with a flick of their tail in the water and swam very happily towards the center of the lake. Chifu then took the guards and poured all the fish and shrimp in the bucket into the lake.

Chongzhen saw that the merit ceremony was over, sang a salute and took the monks to leave first.

Qing Zhuo came over and smiled: "Sister, do you want to go up the river with me and go to the water purification spring together?"

I hesitated, but Chifu came over and persuaded me, "It's rare that the wind is not too strong and the weather is warm, so Miss should also be outdoors." ā€

"Sister, the position of the water purification spring is like the willow branch net bottle held by Guanyin in the palm, the water poured out is clear, and it is stained with Buddha's fate, and many people have made a special trip to fetch water. or boiling tea or purifying the body, it is said that it can eliminate diseases and disasters and strengthen the body. We have all come to the foot of the mountain, how can there be a reason for Buddhism not to enter?"

I was amused by her words: "Why do you pass through the Buddha Gate and don't enter, and you pass through the Buddha Spring without taking it! You came to Houshan a few days ago, haven't you been there?"

"A few days ago, I had to see how many yellow leaves there were in the bamboo forest, and I only cared about spending time by the Jinghua Lake, and I had to visit the Bodhisattvas in each hall and greet the old friends and new friends who visited. Tell me, how can I have time to go to the water purification spring? Besides, what's the fun of climbing a mountain alone?"

"Well, that's a busy one!" I smiled.

The maid beside her, Yun'er, was anxious: "Miss, Yun'er accompanies you every day and is with you, isn't Yun'er a person?"

The maid and the master have the same temperament.

Everyone laughed even more.

Qing Zhuo Zhengse said: "It's because you are by my side every day that I turn a blind eye to you!"

I couldn't help but be overwhelmed: this is what it meant to turn a blind eye.

Seeing that the guards didn't dare to laugh, they sent more than half of them back, leaving four to follow us up the mountain.

When I saw Chifu coming over with the veil, I turned over slightly and asked her to tie it for me. It was not suitable to cover his face, so he put it on at this moment, and walked towards the mountain hand in hand with Qingzhuo with a smile. All the way strange rocks, wooden vines coiled, half an hour passed, and then we arrived at the spring.

Springs gush out of the cracks in the stones, and the verdant mountains seem to be nurtured in this clear and clear place.

Qing Zhuo ran over, knelt by the spring and picked up a nest of water, tried to feed some mouthfuls, looked up and smiled: "It's so sweet!

I remember her hometown facing the sea, and it's no wonder that her closeness to water is so deep. Some pity her for coming to Beijing far from her homeland, so she advised: "Beware of the slippery water's edge." He walked over.

I took off my veil and picked up a handful of water and put it in my mouth, which was really clear and sweet.

When Qing Zhuo saw it, he took his hand to pour water at me, I raised my hand to resist, and scolded with a smile: "You monkey, your skin is itchy again." He poured the spring water back into her face.

For a while, the jade beads splashed, swaying in the sun.

There was such a fight, and both of them were out of breath.

Qing Zhuo sat on the bluestone on the side of the road with his stomach covered and pouted: "I'm so hungry." Raised his hand and patted it on his head, "Pig brain, why did you forget to ask Yun'er to bring some food." ā€

I also felt empty in my stomach. Look at the sun, and guess it's almost now. Then he called Qingzhuo to hurry down the mountain to eat.

Qing Zhuo didn't follow: "I still have to go so far." Why don't you send them back and bring us some food? ā€

I saw that her forehead hair was **, so I took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

He turned his head and asked the guard: "Is there a sliding pole or a sedan chair on this mountain?" If there is, go and call it quickly, and it will save you from running this trip again." ā€

The guards all looked at their leader, a man with big eyebrows and big eyes. At this time, he blushed, scratched the back of his head and muttered: "Who still sits in a sedan chair in the Buddhist temple? ā€

immediately slapped his head and replied loudly: "There is a restaurant here on the mountainside, and the little one went to eat when he accompanied his father and mother to burn incense." It is made with ingredients from the mountains, and it tastes good. Would you like the two ladies to go there first and make up for it?"

I looked at Qing Zhuo, who was already busy nodding.

Zhang Dali hurriedly walked in front and led everyone away.

As soon as I turned the corner of the mountain, I was confronted by a group of people who looked like attendants. One of the leaders yelled at the people behind: "Hurry up, it's too late to get water today, you rabbits have to come to the mountains to taste game." If I don't hurry, the prince will be angry with me. ā€

A few people behind him were giggling and about to answer, when they suddenly saw our group, and they were all stunned. One of them rolled his eyes, and then smiled: "Master Xiang, you can rest assured." Not only will the prince not be angry today, but I'm afraid that he will reward us heavily!"

Zhang Dali was annoyed that they stared at the female dependents without evasion, so he snorted heavily, wanting to protect us from the past.

The principal looked back and was stunned when he saw me.

Seeing that Zhang Dali was about to get annoyed, he beckoned his subordinates, avoided the side of the road, and let us go first.

We walked far away, and a faint voice came from behind us: "Why are you so cowardly today! Who have we been afraid of from the Donggong Jialing Temple?"
