Chuzhou, Zhongshan, when the media in the outside world were looking for the traces of Su Wen and Hui Ling, the group had already come here, and the goal this time was. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is a stone staircase road up the mountain, and visitors pass by from time to time.

This is it, when the valley temple where the three ancestors were located was broken by thieves, some of the remaining monks scattered in all directions, two of them fled here with kapok robes, "Dharma Four Treatises", "Faith Ming", and built a temple on this mountain to pass on the Zen law and carry it forward.

It's a pity that with the passage of time, Zen Buddhism has not been born with great monks, coupled with factional tilting, the inheritance of Zen Buddhism is more difficult, unable to show its name, and even the disciples are difficult to include, and the world does not even remember the name of Zen Buddhism today.

Now that there is such a good situation, I should retrieve the relics of my ancestors, start a sect in the East China Sea, and spread the law of Zen Buddhism to all living beings in the world.

Su Wen looked up at the top of the mountain, collected his mood for a long time, and walked towards the mountain step by step. And Dao Yan and the others followed closely behind.

After walking up a few hundred stone steps, a flat ground appeared in front of him, and a temple that looked quite grand and solemn appeared in front of everyone.

"Abbot, is this it?" Xinghui asked on the side.

Su Wen took a closer look at the plaque above the mountain gate, Lingshan Temple. Shaking his head, he said, "Not here." ”

There was a welcoming monk in the temple who saw five monks and a child come to the door, and immediately greeted him and asked, "I don't know what happened to a few people?" ”

"May I ask this senior brother, where is the Dharma Temple in the mountains?"

"I haven't heard of the Dharma Temple. On this mountain, we are Lingshan Temple, where are there other temples. The welcoming monk shook his head.

"Thank you, brother." Su Wen thanked the welcoming monk and was not surprised. According to the route handed down by the old monk, the Dharma Temple is probably in the deep mountains, and it is not surprising that the people of this Lingshan Temple do not know.

Su Wen didn't expect that this question would lead to other people.

After the welcoming monk returned, someone else asked him, "What are the monks going to do when they come to the mountain gate and don't come in?" ”

The welcoming monk was a little confused and said, "They are looking for a Dharma transmission temple, but they have never heard of such a temple." Brother, do you know? ”

Another shook his head too: "Never heard of it." ”

In the evening, the abbot summoned everyone in the temple and asked, "What's going on lately?" ”

Originally, it was just a routine question, but the welcoming monk suddenly remembered that Su Wen and the others were coming, and hurriedly said to the abbot: "Abbot, this afternoon a few foreign senior brothers came to ask where the Dharma Temple is. ”

The abbot asked routinely, and the welcoming monk also said casually, but he didn't expect the abbot's face to change suddenly, and he asked urgently: "What's the matter?" Tell me what they asked, and what you answered. ”

In addition to the abbot, there were two middle-aged monks whose faces also changed slightly, and with the abbot's gaffe, everyone else saw it in their eyes and guessed in their hearts what was going on with this Dharma Temple? How come you've never heard of it?

After listening to the welcoming monk, the abbot returned to the room with a gloomy face. It didn't take long for two monks to knock on the door one after the other and enter, and it was the two middle-aged monks whose faces had changed just now.

"As I said, I should have forcibly taken that golden robe, that is, although the dumb monk in the mountain is skillful, he can't stop so many of us."

Hugh was babbling nonsense. Although I admire the majesty and magnificence of the robe, which is a rare treasure, and I want to take it as a thing inherited by this temple, how can I do something to forcibly snatch it? The abbot rebuked.

"The dumb monk, no one has been looking for him for decades, and now he is about to die, but someone has come to the door. Did someone get the news and want to take the robe? Another asked.

The abbot thought for a while, and felt that this matter was not impossible.

In fact, this Lin Shan Temple has also been established for more than 200 years, and before that, it was known that there was a small earthen temple called Chuanfa Temple in the back mountain. When it was first established, the first abbot befriended the monks in the small earthen temple in the back mountain. Later, I wrote down some of the remarks on Buddhism at that time in my notes and marked them.

In addition, it was accidentally discovered that there was a golden robe in the earthen temple, which shone in the sun, which was an extremely rare treasure. And according to the monk in the temple once said in a gaffe, this robe is handed down by the Buddha, and they have guarded this robe for more than a thousand years.

Although the abbot of that generation recorded this incident as an anecdote, he always admired the robe between the words. After him, successive abbots kept this matter firmly in mind.

You must know that even if the golden robe is not handed down by the Buddha, it has a history of more than 1,000 years and is immortal, which means that it is a rare treasure. You must know that more than 1,000 years ago, the people who were able to make the golden silk robe were famous people, and the things they passed down, regardless of anything else, can already be used as a treasure in the temple as a treasure passed down in the temple. What's more, let them guard it for more than a thousand years, how can it be mortal?

Later generations of abbots tried their best to get their hands on the robe, but they were never able to do so. The people in the Dharma Temple discovered their thoughts and cut off contact with the people of Lin San Temple. Fortunately, although the successive abbots of Lingshan Temple admired the robe, they still remembered their monastic status to some extent and did not do anything to rob them. Moreover, the earth temple has always been passed down in one line, and each generation is only looking for one person at the foot of the mountain, and maybe when the inheritance will be broken, the robe will naturally be something of Lingshan Temple.

In this way, this matter has been passed down from generation to generation, until this generation, the monk in the earthen temple is a dumb monk, according to the records, he is now 110 years old, and he will sit down at any time. And this dumb monk did not look for the next generation of inheritors, so that the abbot of Lingshan Temple was overjoyed, and after a few years of this dumb monk gone, the things that the abbots had longed for for so many years and could not reach were about to get their hands.

But at this time, five monks came to look for the earthen temple, and it was likely that they didn't know where to get the news, and they went straight to the robe, so how could he still calm down.

You must know that the successive abbots of Lingshan Temple have always been obsessed with the robe, and it has been two hundred years since he was here. If it is taken away, the successive abbots of Lingshan Temple have always adhered to their duties and did not rob or rob, which is simply a joke.

"The Dharma Temple is holding that robe, so naturally we can't rob it. But if someone else robs them, it's better for us to take them back than to fall into the hands of those people, and presumably the people in the Dharma Temple won't blame us. A middle-aged monk said.

"Yes, our Lingshan Temple has protected the earth temple for more than 100 years, and when we get it, it's better than being beaten by those stalks." The other chimed in.

When the abbot heard this, his eyes lit up and he felt that this was reasonable.

"What do those two juniors think is better?" The abbot's face, which had been a little gloomy since dinner, spread out and asked with a smile.

"Those people don't know the specific location of the Dharma Temple, if we catch up now, it should be too late." One of them said.

"I think it's a bit inappropriate to catch up, if those people are encountered by us before they find the temple, how should we deal with it? It's better to wait for them to snatch the robe, and then we'll come forward. And there is no need to catch up so troublesomely, there is only one way into and out of the mountain, as long as we block this road, when they go out of the mountain, they can naturally take it in one fell swoop. ”

The abbot pondered for a moment and made up his mind, "Just do it." (To be continued.) )
