Chapter 384: Night Tour of Jinguang Temple (II)
……
As for the situation later, when Wang Zheng asked Benkong why he did this, he just respectfully replied to Wang Zheng's four words, 'throwing bricks and leading jade'!
After listening to it, Wang Zheng, who was angry, wanted to scold, don't you want to get a piece of wood if you throw bricks and attract jade, even if it is a small leaf red sandalwood and huanghuali!
But helplessly, everything is already in the boat, and there is no way to recover. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fortunately, Wang Zheng's things worth hundreds of millions of yuan were not put in vain, and Old Man Wang and Ma Yun told Benkong that they must invite a Buddha statue to be placed here after they go back.
When this thousand pagoda is full of Buddha statues, not to mention the value of the Buddha statues, it is only here, it must be the most eye-catching scenery in Jinguang Temple.
Coming out of the 'Thousand Buddha Pagoda' and then going back to the courtyard is the Zhaitang, which is where the monks of Jinguang Temple cook and eat.
Behind the hall is a garden of 300 square meters, inside the rockery spring pool, the Buddha statue inscription is the same, the ingenuity is very elegant! In the east and north directions of the garden, there are small doors connecting the outside, but the door of the whole temple is locked, and it is forbidden to pass.
On the remaining west side of the courtyard wall, there is a closed hanging flower gate, but the vermilion temple gate is also locked, because the courtyard wall is not high, and you can faintly see the lush trees and flowers in it.
"Inside is the Bodhi Garden, I thought it was not completely completed, so it is temporarily closed to the public, donors, please go here!"
After explaining, Benkong led everyone back to the third courtyard of the third floor, that is, the courtyard where the Thousand Buddha Pagoda was located. From the pendulum gate on the west side of the courtyard, I entered the courtyard next door.
The courtyard is 500 square meters in size, except for a two-story attic building facing north and south, most of them are bluestone paving, and only some flowers and plants are planted at the edge.
"This is the precept of the temple!"
"Master, why is the gate of the courtyard at the back closed and not repaired?" Old man Wang, I really want to go to the back of the precept courtyard to see the eighteen-sided pagoda that is higher than the 'Thousand Buddha Pagoda', with eighteen floors, wind chimes hanging at the corners of the eaves, Buddha statues carved on eight walls, and a height of more than sixty meters.
But for some reason, the courtyard where the precept house was located did not have a passage to the back at all. In other words, if you want to enter, you can only go through the Discipline Academy, and this layout of isolating the outside world naturally attracts more curiosity from everyone.
"Amitabha Buddha, that is the fundamental important place of the temple 'Golden Light Pagoda', except for the high-level of the temple, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter!"
"I see!"
Old Man Wang sighed in disappointment.
"Master, why is the top of the Golden Light Pagoda missing, is it not covered?" Ma Yun said curiously after looking at it for a while.
"Hehe, Master Ma has good eyesight. However, this tower hat is not uncovered, but it is made of completely transparent crystals, so it is not easy to see!"
"Crystals?"
Everyone was curious, and Ma Yun continued: "Why use crystal, is there anything special about it?"
"There's a reason for that, of course. But I can't say it now, when the temple opens, you'll know the reason!" Motoku smiled mysteriously, but aroused everyone's curiosity.
Wang Zheng, who was following behind, quickly swept his gaze over everyone's faces, and then glanced towards the top of the Golden Light Pagoda, with a strong look of expectation in his expression. Here, only he knows best how precious the things that will be put on them will be. Precious, he had to use the mysterious power of religion to ensure that after seeing the light, this thing could still be in his hands. Instead of being taken away by someone or institution with ulterior motives.
"I'm really reluctant!"
Wang Zheng, who was emotional, took one last look at the towering Golden Light Pagoda, turned around and followed the people walking towards the second courtyard in front.
In front of the Vinaya Hall is the 'Kodharma Hall', a place dedicated to teaching the scriptures! In front of the Kobo Hall is the 'Bell Tower' that everyone first sees!
From the bell tower back to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and then Benkong took everyone to visit all the temples on the central axis of the 'Jinguang Temple' from front to back.
'Tianwang Palace', 'Daxiong Treasure Hall', 'Guanyin Dashi Zhenhai Statue', 'Tibetan Scripture Pavilion', 'Abbot's Courtyard', behind the Abbot's Courtyard is Bodhi Garden, which is also closed.
After touring the central axis, Benkong took everyone through the hanging flower gate on the west side of the abbot's courtyard and entered the adjacent west cross courtyard.
Like the previous East Cross Courtyard, the West Cross Courtyard has two layers. At this moment, the nature of this space to take everyone on a tour is the first priority.
Because the 'Bodhi Garden' at the back of the temple spans the central axis and the fifth courtyard of the east and west floors, the last fifth courtyard of the first and western courtyards is also closed.
And the black plaque on the second floor attic of the fourth courtyard has three red italics on the black plaque 'Jade Buddha Pavilion'!
The door of the Jade Buddha Pavilion was closed, and there were curtains on the windows, so it was impossible to see clearly.
"Master, can you go in and have a look at this Jade Buddha Pavilion?" Ma Yun said.
Several others were also curious.
People are like that, the more you don't let him do something, the more curious he is, the more he wants to do it. When you explain everything, he loses interest.
"I'll see after the opening ceremony?"
Benkong shook his head, and his mysterious expression made these extraordinary people feel itchy immediately. But the host said that they would not be allowed to enter, and they would naturally not break in regardless of their identity.
After glancing at the Jade Buddha Pavilion with pity, he followed Benkong and walked forward.
From the Jade Buddha Pavilion to the front, there is a towering pagoda again, but this pagoda is only nine floors, which is shorter than the Thousand Buddha Pagoda and the Golden Light Pagoda, from the stone tablet next to the tower, this is the 'Duobao Pagoda'!
The third pagoda in this Jinguang Temple is made of bluestone throughout, with a square façade and a simple shape, unlike the other two pagodas with 'jingling' wind chimes hanging at the corners of the eaves, nor the elaborately carved statues on the outer wall. However, looking at the solemn appearance of this pagoda, it is obviously not an ordinary place.
"This is the place where the monks of this temple retreat!"
Everyone suddenly understood, and after taking a look at the 'Duobao Pagoda', they saw that Benkong was reluctant to say more, and no one asked again.
However, when everyone saw the name of the attic in the courtyard in front of the Duobao Pagoda, everyone who knew a little bit about it showed a strange look on their faces.
"Isn't the Dharma Academy in Songshan Shaolin Temple?"
Wang Ying asked in a low voice.
Gotcha, this is another novel I've read too much!
In fact, Shaolin Temple has long stated that there is no 'Dharma Academy' at all, but Jin Yong's martial arts novels are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that rumors cover up the facts.
"Master, ...... this Damo Academy?"
Later, Old Man Wang didn't know what to say.
"Amitabha, this is the place where the monks of this temple practice!"
"Practice, is it martial arts?"
Sister Hong suddenly asked with great interest.
"Cultivation is the way to combine civil and military affairs, and naturally it also includes martial arts!" said Benkong calmly.
"So, there are warrior monks in this temple?"
Fu Yuqing, who hadn't spoken much, also asked. Just as women like beautiful things like jewelry, diamonds, etc., men are always more interested in violent things.
"Absolutely!"
"Can the master show us?"
"Don't worry, you can see it when the time comes!" After a pause, "Everyone, let's continue to look forward, the time to open the temple is running out!"
When the words fell, Benkong didn't wait for everyone to agree, and walked towards the front first. Seeing this, the person who originally wanted to ask had to hold the question in his heart and hurriedly chased after him.
The last one left in front of the 'Dharma Academy', and the first entrance to the West Cross Courtyard is the 'Drum Tower'!
Seeing this, most of the entire temple has been swam, and only the westernmost second west cross courtyard has not been visited. However, the second western courtyard at the very edge of this Jinguang Temple is closed compared to other courtyards. Not to mention the four high walls, and there are only two portals in and out of the Jade Buddha Pavilion and the southeasternmost corner.
The entrance to the Jade Buddha Pavilion, which everyone has seen when they visit, is closed.
The portal in the southeast corner was open, and Benkong led everyone into it through the portal connected to the drum tower.
What a big yard!
No, or a huge martial arts training ground would be more suitable!
The ground is completely paved with bluestone, flat and hard. In the middle is the school field, and on the east side against the wall are eighteen kinds of weapons such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and on the west side are various equipment for exercising strength.
Just when everyone was surprised by the huge size of this martial arts training ground covering an area of nearly 3,000 square meters, the portal of the lowest floor of the attic, which was five floors and more than 20 meters high, opened in the north direction.
The first two were majestic, with big shoulders and round waists, more than two meters tall, holding a wand and a goose egg-thick eyebrow stick, and their muscles were knotted, as if the bald monks of King Kong were alive, and they walked out with two teams of warrior monks with their heads held high.
"Damn, these two guys are too strong, is it simply 'Lu Zhishen' alive?"
Wang Ying exclaimed.
No one scolded him this time, because everyone felt so.
"Abbot!"
The two sturdy bald monks in yellow monks' robes were like Xiaoshan, and when they walked five meters away from everyone, they suddenly stood still, raised their palms with one hand, and bowed slightly respectfully.
"Amitabha!"
After the old abbot returned the salute, he turned his head and introduced to everyone: "These two are the martial arts teaching of this temple, the first Ben Yin of the Luohan Hall and the first Ben Yin of the Dharma Academy!"
"Yes!" the two nodded, "The first origin of the Luohan Hall, the first origin of the Dharma Academy, I have seen you!"
"I've seen two masters!"
Everyone hurriedly bowed and returned the salute.
Although they are all in high positions, they are all top elites in society outside. But looking at the two bald monks in front of him with arms thicker than their thighs, amazing strength, and extremely oppressive momentum, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for the strong in my heart.
In terms of martial arts, except for Ben Yin and the two, almost all the people present were weak.
