Chapter 21 The beautiful scenery of Zhonghua Temple

"Let's talk about the legendary thousand-year-old Guanyin. The thousand-year-old statue of Guanyin enshrined in the Guanyin Cave of Zhonghua Temple is the treasure of Zhonghua Temple. On this day in June 2007, when the renovation of Guanyin Cave was nearing completion, the workers who repaired the river found a plump statue of Guanyin with a smile on the riverbed.

"The thousand-year-old Guanyin came out of the water, and many people came to worship the Buddha and make wishes, and the wishers also came one after another. Now, the legend of the thousand-year-old Guanyin has spread all over the country.

On July 29, 2007, the day of the opening of the Guanyin Cave, hundreds of thousands of believers gathered in the Guanyin Cave of Lingshan Zhonghua Temple to welcome the Buddha's light. On that day, the originally hazy sky suddenly cleared, and the Northern Liao Photographers Association recorded this precious moment with the lens.

"Finally, let's talk about the python fairy cave where Kangxi repaid his wishes. The thousand-year-old Mangxian Cave has a moving imperial legend, after the original Lingshan Jiaolong was suppressed, one of its sons and a female python escaped, and the two pythons and a crown seal 'in'.

"A crown seal 'Hua', the days are long, the wind and rain are smooth in a hundred miles of Lingshan, the incense is vigorous, and Lingshan Temple has gradually become the center of Buddhism in Northeast China. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi, who returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, expanded Lingshan Temple and renamed Lingshan Temple Zhonghua Temple.

On November 26, 2007, the front page of the Economic Daily and the front page of the XX Daily reported on November 27 that the Chinese Temple is a representative work of Shen Liao.

In the same year, Zhonghua Temple was selected as one of the top ten scenic spots in Shengjing of Shenyang Newspaper Group, and was selected as one of the top ten scenic spots in Northeast Sina----- and was praised by millions of netizens as "this scene should only exist in the sky, and the Chinese Temple in the Zen realm of the world".

After the reconstruction, the Lingshan Zhonghua Temple is exuding the dazzling brilliance of Buddhist culture with its beautiful legend of the Buddha land, the beautiful scenery and strong religious culture, like the beautiful scenery in the sky that landed on the world, becoming another golden business card of Northeast tourism. ”

With the explanation of the leading girl, the car drove quickly, and after a while, a green hill faintly flashed, and a tower-like building obviously appeared in the trees on the mountain, probably the Zhonghua Temple was about to arrive.

"Uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, we come to Zhonghua Temple to travel, is a rare opportunity to visit Zen and worship Buddha, we should pay attention to grasp the ten important attractions when sightseeing.

In addition to the Luzu Shenqi, the thousand-year-old Guanyin and the Kangxi Thanksgiving Python Cave, the Zhonghua Temple also has seven immortal beauty, they are: the Northeast Buddhist Cultural Center Zhonghua Temple, the Northeast Taoist Cultural Center Taiqing Palace Branch Wanshou Palace, the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, the High Monk Pagoda, the Bell Like the Buddha, the Zen Moon Temple, the Buddha's light shines.

"Zhonghua Temple also has a kind to the welfare of tourists: if you can donate 999 yuan, you can make a statue of the Buddha in the Zhonghua Temple, the tower of the monks chant the scriptures every day, the day of the monthly molding, the monks and Buddhas in front of the offering, in the Buddha of the special karma.

"Okay, good at Zhonghua Temple, I'll introduce these, and below, please enjoy the uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts on the spot. ”

The girl who led the team introduced it for a long time with a dry mouth, and after she finished speaking, people didn't have any reaction. Talking to himself.

Duan Ye felt that this was too disrespectful of other people's labor. In the past, when he traveled at public expense, the tourists had to applaud and thank him after the tour guide introduced him. So, as soon as the inspiration moved, he slapped vigorously.

When encountering this, Gao Daxiong was naturally the first to respond, seeing Duan Ye applauding, he also applauded, the two of them applauded, Huang Ling and the second old Zhou couple responded, and the personal applause drove the entire carriage, forming a thunderous applause effect.

"Thank you, thank you uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts!" The girl who had already sat down to rest, when she heard the warm applause, seemed to be surprised, stood up and bowed to everyone gracefully, and then threw a grateful glance at Duan Ye.

Get off the bus, it is the newly built mountain gate, the mountain gate is magnificent, compared with other attractions, the biggest difference is that there is no ticket office, there is no ticket gate, tourists can enter freely, free to come out. Entering the mountain gate, it is a paved and straightforward avenue.

On one side of the avenue, there is a line of shops. When I entered the shops, they all sold Buddha statues and offerings. This car is all elderly people who want to get cheap, and they just ask and take a look when they go up, and no one is willing to pay for it.

The salesman didn't have the enthusiasm for reception, so he simply sat there, looking coldly at these "old immortal" groups, and didn't know how to scold the fierce!

Duan Ye walked with Gao Daxiong and Erlao Zhou and his wife, and the girl who led the team also followed them. After visiting a few shops, I saw an emerald green mountain in front of me, and below the mountain, a glittering river flowed around the foot of the mountain.

"This is the Hongsheng River, right?" Duan Ye asked the girl who led the team.

"I'm not a tour guide, I can't say the specifics. The girl who led the group smiled and said, "I'll ask the professional tour guide in a moment." ”

"I just heard you introduce the China Scenic Area, and you said it very professionally!" Duan Ye wondered, she said so professionally, why was she so unfamiliar with the actual scenic spots? This river should be an important symbol of the China Temple Scenic Area!

"I'm talking about majors, because I memorized it as if I were memorizing a text. Actually, I don't really know much about it. The girl who led the team said modestly.

Ever since he met this girl, Duan Ye's impression of her was that of a salesman, who first distributed day-trip advertising lists in the park, came to the canteen of the Revolutionary Committee of Hongsheng Commune, and saw her trying her best to sell Dalian Zhangfang Sea Ginseng Capsule to herself.

Now, she was quiet all of a sudden, which made Duan Ye change his previous impression of her all of a sudden. In front of her, there is no chatter and sales pitches, and she has become a quiet young woman.

Tall, with long legs, a white face, and black hair, she has almost all the elements that today's beauties have. Letting such a girl engage in sales is really a loss of Sven and destroys beauty.

To go up the mountain, you must first cross the river. A bridge has already been built over the river. On the opposite side of the bridge, a statue of an ancient military general was molded. Duan Ye glanced at the statue from a distance, and it must have been Yu Chigong. However, Gao Daxiong had to say that the person was Qin Qiong.

Duan Zhi thought to himself, this person, he knows how to drink when he eats at noon, and he knows how to sleep when he gets in the car. Just now, this girl introduced the situation of so many scenic spots, and he didn't listen to a word. There is really nothing you can do about this kind of uneducated person.

After crossing the bridge, going up is a road, and he saw the shadow of the tower in the distance, Duan Ye saw a car driving that way, and concluded that it was the way to enter the temple, and was about to move forward, but the girl who led the team called him to go to the path on the left, and when he came back, she told him that he should enter the temple through the old mountain gate.

Fortunately, the sun was scorching, and people were looking for shelter, and along the riverbank, a long corridor appeared to shelter from the rain, and at the same time even the sun was blocked.

People walked into the promenade, one side of the promenade is a mountain, one side is a river, the shade of the mountain forest and the coolness of the river water together, as if a giant air conditioner, people suddenly lost the feeling of heat.

When we arrived at the end of the corridor, I heard the girl who led the team loudly remind everyone: "This is the old mountain gate, and after entering this gate, we will really come to the Zhonghua Temple." My guide task has been completed, below, let's welcome the tour guide Miss Zhang Li of the scenic spot for everyone's guide. ”

That Zhang Li held an electric loudspeaker to greet everyone, and people applauded politely, but people did not follow her up the mountain, but stayed at the mountain gate to take pictures.

Duan Ye saw the magnificence of the mountain gate, raised his mobile phone and was about to choose the shooting angle, when he suddenly saw an old man in red clothes and black pants spread his legs and stood in the middle of the mountain gate, posing as a martyr before the righteousness. He quickly put away his phone.

This old birthday star was originally very respectable. I don't know what's going on, but today I actually played the role of "trust". Was it used by the salesmen, or did he do it willingly? This made Duan Ye feel awkward.

I thought to myself, if I can live to this age in the future, I must not do this kind of thing of giving people authority. Because, the top ten benefits of Dalian Zhangfang sea cucumber propaganda are first of all to prolong life, and it is very confusing for them to pull out this 91-year-old man to show up.

Entering the mountain gate, it is a long stone staircase road, long, curved and extending upward, much like the road to heaven. Duan Ye suddenly remembered the meaning of "Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road".

I thought, no wonder the people who rebuilt the Zhonghua Temple did not dare to destroy the old mountain gate when they built the new mountain gate, it seems that this old mountain gate really has the artistic conception of Buddhism and Zen. It's like the fence shape of the cement prefabricated slabs of Xinshan Gate, and this ancient Chinese temple has no Buddhist taste.

Walking up the stairs, a small courtyard appeared in front of you. There is no sign to guide the left door and the right door of the courtyard, and I don't know where to go?

"Please turn right and see the Buddhist temple. Duan Ye heard the reminder and was about to walk to the right, but he didn't expect Gao Daxiong to call him: "Director Duan, come, ...... here" said. The hand pointed to the small courtyard on the left. Then, Huang Ling brought the second old Zhou, and the girl who led the team also followed.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw two temple-like buildings, but the carvings on the ridge of this house were not birds and beasts, but a python head on the left and a snake head on the right. A felt carpet was spread in the middle of the courtyard, and several people were kneeling on the carpet to worship at the door. There are words in the mouth.

"Look, big long worm!" Gao Daxiong was the first to go to the door, pointing to a statue inside and shouting at Duan Ye and the second elder Zhou Huangling, Duan Ye and a few people walked over to take a look, this statue is very chic, saying that it is a human body, it is a bit of an image, and it is a bit of a python shape, which is also a little interesting.
