"How? How about the rest? Do you want me to take you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Fengyang, Anhui Province? ”

There is no way, the little brother Ye Qing's family is indeed very busy, and they have to rush to a far away family to send favors, the two gangs had to say goodbye to them in a hurry, and led Zhu Mengru to Fengyang Bus Station by bus, and the two of them did feel very tired, so they just ate a little lunch casually, and prepared to find a hotel to rest first.

The conditions of the hotel are also very good, and it can be said that the price is cheap and good, and after taking a nap, the two gangs also feel that they are in a good state of mind, so it is recommended to take Zhu Mengru out to play for a while.

"Okay, I don't know what's interesting in your hometown." That Zhu Mengru also seemed to be interested.

"We have a lot of fun places in Fengyang, but some places may be a little too far away, and it may not be convenient to go now, but as far as I know, in this Fengyang County, there are two good places to go, one is the family temple of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, called Longxing Temple, and the other is the famous places of interest left by the Ming Dynasty, called the ancient city building, when I was in high school in Linhuai, I often came on Sundays, otherwise, we will go to Longxing Temple to worship the Bodhisattva." The gang suggested.

"Okay." Zhu Mengru smiled and nodded in agreement.

Longxing Ancient Temple is also known as Da Longxing Temple, commonly known as Longxing Temple. Located at the foot of the first mountain in the north of Fengyang County, his predecessor was Yuhuang Temple, where Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, became a monk and worshiped Buddha in his early years. It is the birthplace of Zhu Yuanzhang. It has a relationship with the entire Ming Dynasty, and for hundreds of years, Longxing Temple has been a famous temple in China.

At the time of the initial construction, Longxing Temple "the palace pavilion, the regulation is grand", and the "Ming Taizu Record" recorded: there are "three hundred and eighty-one Buddha halls and monks' houses". Le Jian Pavilion is established, the system is extremely high, and it adds to the majesty of Longxing Temple. At that time, some people described that this was "the West of the Buddha Temple, Long Live Mountain", "the palace of the King of the Buddha is floating around", "the dragon is absolutely beautiful, the panyu structure, the lion is like the heavenly arch temple gate". Although the poem is a bit exaggerated, it left this portrayal of Longxing Temple.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, wars were frequent, and Longxing Temple was in disrepair for many years and was dilapidated. Kang Youwei visited the temple and sighed with emotion, and once wrote the poem "Portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang": "The bad temple is ruined and the sunset shines, the copper pot and stone are very desolate, and the dragon face and dragon are allowed to open the imperial industry, and the monk's house can be injured in the end." ”

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in 1959, the donation was made to rebuild the Longxing Temple, which basically maintained the scale of the Guangxu period. "The early stage of the Cultural Revolution" was destroyed again, the "first mountain" stele and the stele of Longxing Temple are gone, the bronze Buddha, the Bodhisattva, the Arhat and other statues are broken bones, the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang and many inscriptions and poems are scattered and lost, only the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the east and west wings, the hexagonal pavilion and so on more than 60 rooms.

In June 1993, the Fengyang County Government decided to hand over the Longxing Temple to the county religious department and monks to manage, and by the Jiuhua Mountain Hundred Years Old Palace Huiqing Master raised funds to build, build the Ming Taizu Hall and the new Daxiong Treasure Palace, Tianwang Palace, Tibetan Palace, Tibetan Scripture Building and Buddha Hall, Meditation Hall, 200 squatters. The construction area is 6910 square meters. The main building Daxiong Treasure Hall is 31 meters wide, 22 meters deep, the scale is grand, the momentum is majestic, it can be called "the crown of temples in Anhui Province".

The greatest influence of Longxing Temple on the temples of the world is the sitting posture of the statues of the four heavenly kings in the Tianwang Palace. It is rumored that the four heavenly kings of the temple Tianwang Hall were standing "standing on the top of the sky", and the four heavenly kings of Longxing Temple were "the first" to sit down, and since then, the four heavenly kings of the world's temples have also sat down.

The Four Heavenly Kings sat down, there is a folk legend: "Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to a strange disease when he was young, crying day and night, his parents had no money for treatment, so they had to ask for Buddha, willing to take refuge in Buddhism, and then the child's illness was actually cured, so when Zhu Yuanzhang was ten years old, he entered the Huangjue Temple as a monk." He started from the lowest handyman, every day to carry water, firewood, sweep the Buddha hall, in the sweeping of the palace of the king, because the four kings of heaven stand on the ground, legs like pillars, sweeping the floor is inconvenient, he swept while shouting, feet up, sure enough, it is 'the mouth of the king', the four kings actually put their feet up, said and sat down. Then, the world built a temple, and the four heavenly kings in the Heavenly King Hall also sat by standing.

Of course, the second gang with Zhu Mengru naturally traveled from the archway of Longxing Temple, and saw that the dragon flying and phoenix dancing directly above the archway were carved with several golden characters, "Longxing Ancient Temple", and the back was engraved with "Taizu Legacy".

After the archway, only to come to the main gate, now Longxing Temple is also to charge tickets, ten yuan a piece, it seems that it is not very expensive, enter the gate and go inside, go up along the stone steps, there are probably more than 100 levels, this came to the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

The two gangs and Zhu Mengru naturally went in and bowed sincerely, and then went to the back, and saw that in the middle of the venue, there was a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

When the second gang and Zhu Mengru came to the big tablet pavilion again, they saw a monk standing there, with a yellow basin in front of him, with half a basin of water in it, and a table on one side, with a lot of scriptures.

"Two donors, wash your hands in a golden basin, it is very effective, it can eliminate disasters and take refuge, and it can also predict the fate of the coming year." The monk said.

"Hehehe, Amitabha, Master, I'm sorry, my money has been spent." The two explained self-deprecatingly.

"It's okay, I've got it by my side." That Zhu Mengru encouraged.

Since my wife is supportive, let's wash it. Naturally, according to the master's instructions, I first went to the incense shop to buy a handful of incense, and then went to the main hall and bowed, and the two of them walked out.

The master first grabbed one of the hands of the second gang, put them in the golden basin, and asked to spread them, and then he said: "Your calamity has passed, and you have now handed in good luck, but the real good luck will not begin until October next year." ”

Then naturally, he also grabbed Zhu Mengru's hand and said: "You have to be more gentle with your husband, and it's best to go to places with water as much as possible." ”

And then it's over, and each person has to pay a hundred yuan for washing their hands.

"Hehehe, do you believe what the master said, looking at the two hundred yuan bill, in such an instant, it was in someone's drawer, do you regret it?"

Turned around the big stele pavilion and came to the door of the Ming Taizu Palace, and the two gangs asked Zhu Mengru.

"I don't regret it at all, since I met you again, and you are still so good to me as always, I have begun to sincerely believe that there are indeed gods between this heaven and earth."

That Zhu Mengru said very reverently.
