Chapter 724: Xiangguo Temple Meets Deqing
Daxiangguo Temple was once the base camp of the national teacher Daoyan, Daoyan entered Nanjing that year, retreated from the dynasty and returned to the Daxiangguo Temple, he had no home, he took the Daxiangguo Temple as his home, when he did not go to the court, he wore a monk's robe, a monk's true image. Although Zhu Di later forcibly gave him four palace people to serve by his side, it is estimated that he was idle in that area, but it is a pity that the four beauties were lost.
Besides, I have never been able to guess Daoyan's thoughts, why he began to help Zhu Di seize the world, and later why he went all out to protect Emperor Jianwen and help Emperor Jianwen escape, it can even be said that without Daoyan, Emperor Jianwen's escape road would be more difficult, at least not at all Zhu Di will not be found by Zhu Di.
He walked into the mountain gate of Daxiangguo Temple, where the crowds were surging, shoulder to shoulder, all came to burn incense and make wishes or come to ask for signs. It is said that the signature of Daxiangguo Temple is the first in the world, so believers from all over the country have come here to ask for a signature, and of course there are many people who make a wish and make a wish.
Besides, he didn't look at these people, he just got through the cracks in the people, and he wanted to find the abbot and establish contact.
Suddenly, he was caught by a man: "Besides, why did you get here?"
Besides, when I turned my head, it was none other than the monk Deqing, the future monk Hanshan Deqing in the era of Shenzong.
"It's you, why are you here, aren't you in Suzhou?" asked in surprise.
Moreover, when he was in Suzhou, he once asked about Deqing's movements, and Zhou Dingcheng told him that after Deqing came back from Lingnan, he suddenly had an enlightenment, so he went directly to retreat and practice, and there was no movement after that, so he thought that he had been in retreat in Suzhou.
Deqing smiled and didn't say anything, just pulled him towards a monk's house.
Deqing was indeed in retreat in Suzhou, and only after leaving the customs did he know that he had gone to Nanjing, so the abbot of Hanshan Temple sent him to Nanjing Daxiangguo Temple to facilitate him to get along with him.
The abbot of Hanshan Temple has always thought that he is a person with great luck, so letting Deqing get along with him also means borrowing the light.
When they came to the monk's house and sat down, the two little novices hurriedly greeted them when they saw the situation, and they also returned the salute and did not dare to slack off.
"Go play by yourselves, you don't need to be here. Deqing waved his hand and let the two little novices play.
"You're abusing minors. "Besides, just kidding.
"Abuse? This is a practice, and I started as a novice back then. Deqing said with a smile.
The two gossiped for a while, and Deqing asked what he meant by coming here, he knew that he would definitely not come to burn incense and make a wish, let alone ask for a signature.
Moreover, he explained that he wanted to see the abbot, he didn't know Deqing's position in the Qinwang faction, but he sent a letter to him, which should be related to the Qinwang faction.
"It's a bit difficult, I haven't been able to see it all these days. Deqing frowned.
"It's hard to see him, I have something important to see him. Besides.
"Is there really something important?"
"Of course. ”
Moreover, he told the situation of the case again, and explained his intention to ask to see the abbot.
"How could there be such a thing, besides, brother, are you sure it really happened, not that you are sleepwalking in the underworld?"
After hearing this, Deqing felt completely unbelievable, and besides, where the world was described, it was clearly the image of hell.
"If you don't believe it, I'll take you to Yingtianfu to see the victims and listen to the accounts of those who have been to the scene. Besides.
"It's not that I don't believe it, but ...... It's unbelievable. Deqing still looked shocked.
Although Deqing has believed in the four emptiness since he was a child, he will still be happy when he sees beautiful things, and he will hate ugly things when he sees them, and he has not yet cultivated to the realm of truly exploring the void. So after listening to the description, I was both shocked and hated.
"Besides, does my brother want Daxiangguo Temple to help catch this murderer?" asked Deqing.
"No, I just want to use this place to spread my word, so that the people in the organization can participate in the search for this murderer, as long as I find it, I will do other things, of course, it would be better if I could eliminate the harm for the people. ”
Besides, I feel a little breathless, what kind of person is I in this organization, and it takes so much effort to make a speech.
"Alright, I'll go out and see if I can get the word to the abbot first. Deqing finished speaking and went out.
Besides, he sat idle, and casually opened a volume of "Lengyan Sutra" on the Deqing table and looked at it.
Suddenly he felt the hairs on his back stand on end, and he stood up and looked around.
But he was the only one in the monastic house of only a few square meters, and there was no one else, but he really felt the malice, the feeling of vicious eyes staring at his back, a strong murderous intent.
He ran out of the monastic house, looking at the crowd in front of the monastic house, trying to find those eyes in the crowd.
"Besides, brother, why are you standing here?" Deqing suddenly appeared in front of him and asked puzzled.
"The man...... The murderer is here. Besides, he said in a deep voice.
"What?" Deqing didn't look around, but looked at what's more, thinking that something was wrong with his nerves.
"Really, right here, I can feel him, I just felt it. He was staring at me just now. ”
Besides, he suddenly ran down and entered the crowd, feeling everywhere, but that feeling disappeared. At last he had to go back in despair, knowing in his heart that as long as the man did not show hostility, he could not sense it.
At this time, the Great Xiangguo Temple was crowded with tens of thousands of people, and it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a person among the tens of thousands, not to mention that I didn't know what that person looked like.
"Is he really here? He actually dares to enter my Buddhist holy land?" Deqing finally believed it when he saw the situation, and was indignant.
Besides, I was cold in my heart: this kind of demon doesn't care about the prestige of Daxiangguo Temple, and he is bold.
As he spoke, the feeling came back again, and he ran desperately to another courtyard, through a circular arch, to a place. There weren't many people here, but when I arrived, that feeling disappeared.
Besides, if you look at the people here one by one, they don't look like that demon. Although people should not be disguised, and demons may not have the face of demons, he did not believe that if he was close, he would definitely be able to sense the existence of that demon.
In front of you is a row of delicate wooden houses, not a single brick is used, and the houses are covered with glazed tiles, reflecting a golden light
This kind of glazed tile is a special product for the emperor, even the prince is not allowed to use it, otherwise it will be confined to the high wall.
When Zhu Di raised his army, in the afternoon, the sun shone on the roof tiles of King Yan's mansion, which also reflected a golden light, as if it was covered with glazed tiles, Dao Yan instigated his lips and tongue to incite the soldiers, saying that this was the inevitable success of King Yan's army, and everyone was blinded by this scene at that time.
In addition to the emperor's special, and then the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples outside the square can use this kind of glazed tiles, the emperor believes that the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are the difference between the outside and the party, and they do not interfere with each other, so they do not prohibit the Buddhist temple and Taoism.
Besides, I don't know where this is, but I know that any place with glazed tiles must be an important place, such as an important place such as the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Even if this kind of glazed tile is used, it is not used by ordinary people, it is not very expensive, but it is very expensive, and I don't know how the glazed tile is fired, but many glazed tiles are gilded, so there is this gold-colored light, and it is more extravagant, it is directly covered with gold on it, it is said that when the Eight-Nation Alliance burned the Old Summer Palace, it scraped away tons of gold on the glazed tile with a bayonet.
"Damn foreign devils. He scolded angrily.
"What?foreign devils? Are you saying that the murderer is a common foreign devil in Lingnan?" Deqing had just rushed over and heard this scolding.
"No, I'm thinking of something else. Besides.
Deqing was puzzled, if it comes to the leap of thinking, there is no school that can compare to Buddhism, but Deqing feels that the rhythm of his thinking is a little unable to keep up at this time.
It's also the case that no one has the experience of two lives like this, and their minds often jump back and forth between past and future lives.
"What is this place?" he asked, pointing to the row of houses with locked doors and windows.
"This is where Patriarch Daoyan rests, and Patriarch often preaches the scriptures to everyone here. "Deqing Road.
"Where Patriarch Daoyan rests?"
Besides, he came to the window, and looked inside, only the simplest bed, table and chair, not a single luxury item, and the glazed tiles on it were too incompatible.
"Do you want to go in and have a look, I'll get you the key." Deqing asked.
"Can you get in here?"
"No one else can enter, you are an exception, there is no forbidden area for you here. Deqing said with a smile.
"Forget it, another day. He shook his head.
With that demon peeking around, he was in no mood at all.
Some of the tourists know that this is the resting place of Daoyan back then, so they come to visit and pay respects to remember the demeanor of that strange person.
More people are wandering around, inadvertently walked here, looked at it twice and left, and after a while, there were only two people here, besides, and Deqing.
"Still haven't found it?, could it be your delusion?" asked Deqing.
"No, I have physical evidence, and it will never be a delusion. ”
If he hadn't found the mask that day, he might have thought that something was wrong with his senses, but that mask was ironclad proof that his senses were right.
Deqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, this kind of thing is useless no matter how superb his Dharma is, if that kind of malice is wide-ranging, he can also sense it, but unfortunately this malice is only aimed at one person, and others can't feel it at all.
"How's it going, have you seen the abbot?" he asked.
"The abbot is in retreat, and I can't see him for the time being, but I have already reported your words, and now they have been conveyed to all directions. Deqing said apologetically.
Besides, sneering, the so-called retreat is sometimes just an excuse not to want to see people, where is there such a coincidence, when he comes to the abbot to retreat, and when he leaves, the abbot goes out?
But he didn't mind, the abbot of Hanshan Temple told him that there was nothing too important, and he would not be allowed to go to Hanshan Temple, and Daxiangguo Temple should be the same, it was said that this was to keep his identity secret, and he didn't know why, so he could only abide by these rules.
"Thank you, Brother Deqing. Besides.
"No, I don't. Deqing smiled freely.
As he spoke, the feeling reappeared, and he looked fixedly in one direction, but his body did not move.
