151 Panyun Temple
Early the next morning, the third master called Cousin Song and went to Panyun Mountain, and met a few acquaintances along the way, all of whom came forward to congratulate the third master, and the third master proudly raised his head and frequently returned the salute, and Cousin Song also had a smug look, lest the world would not be chaotic and greet him, and those who really had that good thing should also follow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info along the way, they all met each other's acquaintances, and they were all curious to follow the excitement.
Panyun Temple is built on the half-slope of Panyun Mountain, the old emperor was built according to an ancient spring on the mountain, the ancient spring is called Shi Bing Spring, the spring water is cold like ice all year round, all around are stones, it is called Shi Bing Spring since ancient times.
Panyun Temple is on the mountain in place, layer by layer high, there are more than 200 buildings of size such as the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Medicine Master Palace, the Three Temples, the Garan Palace, the Arhat Hall, the Miaofa Hall, the Juxian Hall, the Abbot Building, the Tibetan Scripture Building, the Ying Tower, etc., which are arranged according to the four north-south axes respectively. Shi Bingquan is behind Panyun Temple, there are eight pagodas in front of the temple, and there is a cold pavilion in the temple. These are not deliberately designed, they are all arranged according to the terrain, none of them correspond to each other, and they are all scattered everywhere naturally.
From the bottom of the mountain there is only a repaired road straight to Panyun Temple, the curved stone steps road, is to go to the temple mountain gate, it also takes nearly half an hour, after walking up, see a large piece of paved flat land, go forward is the mountain gate of Panyun Temple, the eight treasure pagoda next to the open space quietly look at the people who come up every day, watch the sentient beings come up with a pious heart.
When the third master and everyone came to the bottom of the mountain, they saw Cousin Song turn around and say to the people who followed him: "Today is my brother De to thank Master Eight Idiots, I made a wish to take three steps and kowtow to Panyun Temple, this will be my Brother De, you have to be a witness, this is my Brother De's sincerity to Master Eight Idiots"
The third master also turned around and bowed his hands again and again, then turned around, folded his hands on the mountain, bowed three times, knelt down and kowtowed three times, then got up and walked up the steps, walked three steps, bowed with his hands together, knelt down and kowtowed, and thus began his road of sincerity.
Because this is not only a holy place for Buddhism, but also a temple guarded by the royal capital, everyone does not dare to make a loud noise, but they are all colorful, but none of them laugh, more curiosity and envy and hatred.
Within the first quarter of an hour, the third master could still kneel and kowtow up energetically, and after a quarter of an hour, the speed slowed down, and after two quarters of an hour, it began to shake, and his forehead was also red, and the third master wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve and continued to move forward.
After more than half an hour, the third master shook even more, and Cousin Song stopped smiling, and went up and asked, "Brother De, can you still hold on?" The third master wiped the sweat on his face, gasped and said, "It's okay" Then knelt down and kowtowed, and after getting up, he raised his legs and walked up the steps with difficulty.
Originally, the mountain road that could be walked up in half an hour, the third master's three steps and one kowtow, it took more than two hours, and the people who couldn't wait went up first, only a few followed with Cousin Song.
When I got to the place, I saw the eight pagodas, the third old man kowtowed to the last one, stepped on it, and was about to fall, Cousin Song stretched out his hand to help him, and said to a person next to him: "Hurry up, don't hold my brother De yet"
One person hurriedly stepped forward to support the third master, and walked to the bottom of the tower, the third master was paralyzed, panting again and again, and kept wiping sweat, Cousin Song beat his head and said: "I didn't prepare a towel or anything in advance, where did I think that I usually look at the mountain road not far away, so kowtow on my head, it's really far away" Here, Cousin Song really didn't dare to say foul language.
The third old man gasped and said, "Water, water, find me some water."
Master Song sighed, hurriedly ran to the temple gate, after entering, found a monk who was cleaning, asked for some water, the third master took the bowl, drank it in one go, Cousin Song said anxiously: "Slow down, Brother De drink slowly, don't choke"
After the third master finished drinking, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Find another bowl" Cousin Song took the bowl and asked one person next to him to ask for it, and fanned the third master with his sleeve. The third old man pulled his soaked clothes, and Cousin Song said: "Brother De, if we don't change our clothes, you are all soaked, how can you go to see the Eight Idiot Mage?"
The third old man turned his head to look at Cousin Song, shook his head and said: "You are thin, how can I wear your clothes, besides, what we want is this sincerity, just this little bitterness, how can we not hold on?
Cousin Song smiled and said: "It's that I didn't think about it, too, we are this sincerity, sincerity, gold and stone are open, we have this respectful sincerity, that is, piety to the Eight Idiot Masters"
After a break, the third master was about to get up, and Cousin Song helped him up, and saw that the third master was dressed properly, straightened his chest, and strode towards the mountain gate. When I entered the mountain gate and saw a monk, I asked where the eight idiot masters were, and the monk looked at the three masters who were surrounded by everyone strangely, and said, "The master is not in the temple."
The third master and Cousin Song looked at each other regretfully, and then went down the mountain dejectedly.
The eight idiots in the temple were standing outside the same room with the emperor, watching the group of people walk out of the mountain gate, and the emperor smiled and said: "That is the father of the little junior brother, you went to see it that time, it is a master of the Hou Mansion who has achieved nothing." I'm strange, master, why did you take that little boy as an apprentice? Are you going to tell me about it? There is such a little junior brother, I must know why."
The eight idiots glanced at the emperor and said, "Don't call me master, I said at the beginning that after you ascend the throne, we won't have the title of master and apprentice."
The emperor said: "That's what you said yourself, I didn't agree, besides, how can you not admit it, who outside doesn't know that you are my master?"
The eight idiots ignored it, turned around and went back to the room to sit down by themselves, closed his eyes and turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, and recited the scriptures. The emperor couldn't, so he had to leave by himself and walked out of the house, the old eunuch stepped forward quickly, and a few attendants came out of nowhere, hugging the emperor and walking out of the back door.
When the Eight Idiot Mages saw that the emperor was gone, they opened their eyes, and there was no expression on their pensive face. He remembered the dream he had the night before leaving the customs, and dreamed that his master, the earliest old monk, when the old emperor built this temple, there was only this one monk in it, and the eight idiots worshipped the old monk as a teacher, and two years later the old monk passed away, and the eight idiots ran out by themselves, and only came back a few years later. At that time, he was only six years old when he was picked up by the old emperor, and in the two years he followed the old monk, he did not toss a lot, and when he grew up, he regretted his ignorance when he was young.
That night, I dreamed that the master was still smiling as kindly as he had before he died, stroked his head, and said, "It's time to go out, child"
