Chapter 393: Opening the Mountain Gate (Part II)

It was already cold in mid to late October, and the fog in the morning was also heavy, and Baiyun Mountain was even more hidden in the white fog. Vertices M. updates the fastest

Hundreds of people were waiting on the steps.

As soon as the gate was pushed open, everyone poured into the temple.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see that the original main hall is gone, and it is replaced by a huge and magnificent Daxiong Treasure Hall.

In particular, walking across the stone bridge and standing under the platform to look up, the whole hall is located on the white platform, and the fifteen-meter-high Daxiong Treasure Hall looks extraordinarily majestic.

The whole building is the same as the newly built lecture hall and guest hall, completely ancient architecture, painted vermilion, and a row of twelve yellow huge pillars outside leads to the top, and there are various carved Buddhist scripture stories on the pillars.

Above, there are vermilion cornices and arches, as well as bright yellow glazed tiles.

In front of the steps, there is still some old incense burner, which does not look in harmony with the new hall.

The main thing is that this incense burner is too small. Originally, there were only a few people in the temple who offered incense every day, and this incense burner was enough.

But now, there are hundreds of pilgrims in the monastery every day, and the incense burner is not big enough.

Fortunately, there is no incense sold in the temple, and there is no high incense, all the people who put incense on the incense are ordinary sandalwood in the temple, which occupies a small area and burns quickly.

Now even the main hall has been rebuilt, but the incense burner has not been replaced, and everyone does not know why.

However, everyone didn't think much about it, and everyone who entered the temple first asked for incense, and after a while, the incense burner was full of sandalwood, and the smoke was filled with smoke above, and the smell of sandalwood wafted far away.

Smelling the familiar scent of sandalwood, the hearts of many pilgrims immediately settled down.

The sound of chanting also came from the main hall.

The chanting of more than 30 people overlapped, echoing in the empty main hall, and then transmitted to the bottom of the stone steps, which seemed a little ethereal.

Everyone followed the stone steps up and came to the main hall with a pious heart, only to see the whole picture inside.

Among the main halls of thousands of square meters, there are three huge lotus platforms in the innermost.

Except for the middle position, the other two tables were empty. But the huge Buddha statue in the middle attracted everyone's attention.

The huge eight-meter-tall Buddha statue sits on a lotus platform and requires a person to look up to see the whole picture. Looking at the Buddha statue looking down at oneself, as if it is really facing the Buddha, it only makes people feel their own insignificance.

And the Buddha statue is full of golden light, which is the reflection of the light of the surrounding candles shining on it, which really gives people a feeling of radiance.

"Isn't this Buddha statue golden?" many people couldn't help but think.

But think about it is unlikely, such a large Buddha statue, even if it is gilded, the gold consumed is not a few, and it is not something that ordinary temples can afford.

At this time, the hall was a little empty, only more than 30 monks did morning classes in it, and only occupied less than one-tenth of the seats, and the other places were empty, so a few lay people came to sit down on the futons one by one, or closed their eyes and chanted, or listened quietly.

When others saw it, they followed suit.

In the past, the main hall was too small to barely accommodate the monks in the lower temple, and everyone else could only listen to the morning lectures outside.

And now the main hall is enough to accommodate four or five hundred people, and after the laymen and pilgrims outside have entered, there is still space left.

Sitting in the main hall and facing the Buddha statue, it is as if you are sitting at the foot of the Buddha statue. Listening to the echoing sound of chanting around is a different feeling, as if you are really a monk, accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green light.

Many people have peace of mind, and they are infected by the devotion and faith around them, and they close their eyes and feel quietly.

For them, it was a rare experience.

As the chanting in the temple spread, many pilgrims who were still going up the mountain heard many "fluttering" sounds of flapping their wings around them.

Looking up, many birds flew down from the surrounding area and the mountains behind them, landed in the main hall, and chirped in unison.

The sound of birds, lotus flowers, sandalwood, and scriptures are mixed together to create a peculiar atmosphere in the temple.

Many pilgrims who went up the mountain again after a month felt a different feeling.

"Hey, grandma, look!" a ten-year-old girl had just stepped onto the platform and suddenly pointed ahead to her grandmother. She has been out of town before, and has only recently returned to the East China Sea, and today is the first time she has accompanied her grandmother to the mountain.

She had been immersed in the surrounding Zen sounds, the atmosphere created by sandalwood, but she was suddenly attracted by a rabbit, and she was immediately detached from the state of mind just now.

The yellow and white rabbit ran along the wall of the main hall to the door, and peeked inside, which made people feel a little sneaky.

The girl almost burst out laughing.

I never thought that a rabbit could give people a sneaky feeling.

The rabbit seemed to hear her, looked back at her, grinned, and showed its four not-so-neat teeth as if smiling, and went into the main hall.

"Grandma, go, go. The girl was spotted by the rabbit, and urged her grandmother to go into the main hall to find the rabbit as soon as possible.

"What's the hurry, look at that. The old lady pointed to the side with a smile on her face.

"Wow~!" the girl's eyes widened in surprise.

I saw three squirrels running in front, and two foxes running behind them, as if they were chasing, they ran from the side and went directly into the main hall.

Now she couldn't care about her grandmother, so she chased after her in three or two steps.

At this time, there were nearly two hundred people in the main hall, and the sound of her hurried footsteps suddenly alarmed several people who were close to the door to turn around.

The girl stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, and stopped to look left and right for the few little beasts she had just seen.

Soon she found the little fluffy ones in a corner of the main hall, but to her surprise, a few foxes, squirrels, and the rabbit with a bad smile were all lying on the futon in the main hall.

Such a scene she had never seen or expected before.

Immediately, she took out her mobile phone and took a picture from afar, and then walked softly to the vicinity of the little beasts, all turned their heads to look at her, and lowered their heads again, not at all afraid of humans like ordinary animals.

She didn't rush to touch a few animals, but she was also afraid that getting closer would scare them away, so she took out her mobile phone and took a few recent photos before tiptoeing over to touch them.

As a result, when she was still two steps away, the squirrel lying on the futon turned its head and bared its teeth at her, and then ran to the futon in front of her with a jump.

Although these creatures are not afraid of people, they are not something that can be approached casually by a living person. (To be continued.) )
