On the first day of the third day of March, the ladies and dependents of the general's mansion slowly left the capital in a carriage and headed towards Dongshan on the outskirts of Beijing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The eastern mountains on the outskirts of Beijing are composed of a rolling mountain range. At the foot of the East Mountain, the road is divided into two, one leads to the Great Xiangguo Temple, the other leads to the Heavenly Master Temple, and the two temples stand on the left and right sides of the deep mountain respectively, looking at each other in the distance.

After getting off the carriage, the next mountain road can only walk, or it is to sit on the shoulder, Mrs. Wei is very interested, insisting on walking for a while, the old lady uses to walk, and the juniors can only accompany her, fortunately, Mrs. Wei only walked for a short distance and felt tired, Mrs. Wei immediately asked people to carry the shoulder, and a group of people sat on the shoulder and walked up comfortably.

The Celestial Master Temple, like the Great Xiangguo Temple, was built on the top of the mountain.

The magnificent temple is built in an antique and solemn manner. The temple is surrounded by green trees and flowers. The lifelike cliff carvings make people have the illusion of hiding in the clouds and flying in the fairy territory.

In the midst of lush greenery, a red wall stretched on either side.

Entering the temple, Taoists come and go, tourists come and go, incense is around, quiet and solemn with prosperity and liveliness. The greenery is faintly revealing the cornices, which makes people want to see it.

The Temple of the Heavenly Master is very large, it occupies an area even wider than the Great Xiangguo Temple, there are not only palaces inside, the scripture hall, the Taoist hall, the tower, the Taoist house, but also the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard; Single-family courtyard, guest rooms; Dining room, small garden, big garden, back hill.

Since there is a place for pilgrims to eat, there is also a place to rest, and there is a place to watch the scenery.

Mrs. Wei and the others looked around with a look of novelty, and Mrs. Wei mixed with Mrs. Wei while introducing what kind of hall was over there and what kind of hall was here.

Everyone went to the first hall first, because tomorrow is the Heavenly Master's Dharma, and many people will go up the mountain today, stay overnight, and then go to listen to the Heavenly Master's lecture early tomorrow morning.

I tasted the food of the Heavenly Master Temple, listened to the puja, and played a game.

Therefore, at this time, many people in the temple were already worshipping on incense.

Mrs. Wei helped Mrs. Wei to kneel on the futon in the hall, and then she knelt aside, and the others knelt down one after another, and Mother Wei brought the lighted incense and distributed it to everyone.

After putting her hands together and reciting devotionally, she bowed three times and bowed nine times, and then Mother Wei threw a stack of silver votes into the merit box on the side. Standing next to the incense case, a Taoist in a Taoist robe gently rang the bell in front of him.

Mrs. Wei and the others stood up.

The Taoist returned the salute to Mrs. Wei and the others.

After incense, Yu Nianniang followed Mrs. Wei out of the main hall and went to another slightly smaller hall, in fact, each hall is very different, there is a statue of the heavenly master in the middle of the main hall, and there are portraits of the heavenly master in other places, but the posture is different, and the expression is gloomy!

However, the decoration in the temple is quite dazzling.

The roof tiles are gilded, dazzling, the carved beams are painted, especially the main hall is supported by many thick vermilion stone pillars, which are inlaid with white jade reliefs, and those flying dragons and beasts are vivid, just like the divine beasts under the seat of the heavenly master guarding the whole hall.

There are more than one or two houses that are interested in the Celestial Master Puja. When she was wandering around the Heavenly Master Temple, Yu Nianniang saw several family members of the courtiers.

Mrs. Guanglu Siqing, Mrs. Tong Bohou and her daughter-in-law Han, Mrs. Wei and her granddaughter-in-law Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Zhao Yi and her daughter-in-law of Hanlin Attendant, Yu Ruobai, wife of Han Lingzhong, deputy envoy of Xuantong Xuanwei Envoy, and his younger brother, Liu Shi, wife of Han Mingshi, a member of Hanlin Academy, etc......

Old Lady Wei and Mrs. Wei also stopped to talk for a while with Old Lady Wei, as well as the wife of Wang Xingyuan, who washed horses in Zhan Shifu, and Shi Shi, the wife of Wang Xingshi in the Ministry of Rites.

After visiting a few temples, Mrs. Wei called the little Taoist disciples to lead the way, and the group went to the courtyard that had already been booked.

It's said to be a courtyard, but it's actually a few separate guest rooms enclosed by a wall, and a few flowers and trees are planted in it, but it's better than living in the guest room courtyard with everyone.

The house is limited, and it is impossible for one person to have a room alone. In the end, Mrs. Wei decided to simply share a room in twos and twos. So, Mrs. Wei and the Li family had a room, Wei Qiyu and Wei Qiyan sisters had a room, Wei Qixue and Wei Qijiao had a room, and Yu Nianniang was alone, so she could only live in Mrs. Wei's house.

There are still two rooms left to be shared by the people, and there are not enough beds to make bunks.

Shen Shi set off from the General's Mansion, went to the Heavenly Master Temple and walked around, at this time it was already the middle of the hour, and Wei's mother went to arrange dinner.

Only Mrs. Wei's room was the largest, with a flower hall, so everyone gathered in the flower hall to talk to Mrs. Wei.

The road was a little too much, and Mrs. Wei looked a little tired, she only smiled and listened to the juniors, and did not open her mouth.

After a while, the little Taoist brought dinner.

It's all vegetarian, eleven dishes, two soups, looking at the clear soup is bland, but the taste is not bad.

After dinner, everyone told Mrs. Wei to retreat to their respective rooms.

Wei's mother served the old lady to freshen up, Yu Nianniang took a walk in the small courtyard, and Mother Sun and Linglong stood under the eaves and waited.

The yard was too small, and she felt a little hot from the twilight until she walked to the moon in the clouds.

The old lady had already rested, Mother Sun and Linglong served Yu Nianniang to freshen up, and when it was over, when Yu Nianniang fell asleep on the couch outside, the two quietly retreated.

Sleeping in a room with unfamiliar people always didn't sleep deeply, and Yu Nianniang woke up the next day, and by the time Mrs. Wei and the others got up, she had already walked many laps in the yard.

Mrs. Wei boasted: "Sure enough, he is a young man, and his spirit is good." ”

"The old lady's body is also tough, the mountain road is so steep, so difficult to walk, yesterday the old lady walked a distance by herself." Yu Nianniang smiled and said politely.

The old lady was very happy when she heard this: "After all, I am old, when I was young, I could walk this kind of mountain road without blinking my eyes!" ”

That is to say, these juniors are not as good as her!

"The old lady is amazing!" Yu Nianniang said.

Mrs. Wei, who served the old lady on the side, said: "When we reach the age of the old lady, it will be a blessing to have a body like the old lady!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Li followed the trend and smiled and agreed.

Mrs. Wei laughed.

Breakfast was eaten up in laughter.

After breakfast, a mother-in-law came in to say goodbye.

“…… There were already a lot of people here, and a few Taoist disciples in the temple were already waiting in the Dharma field, just waiting for the time to come, and the Heavenly Master passed. ”

"Then let's almost get over too." Mrs. Wei said to Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei nodded.

Everyone surrounded Mrs. Wei out of the courtyard and headed towards the court.

The Dharma field is set up in an open space on the side of the first hall of the Heavenly Master Temple.

According to Mrs. Wei, the side courtyard here is specially set aside for Fa lectures.

When Yu Nianniang and the others walked to the law field, it was already full of people, no one arranged it, and everyone spontaneously sat down in turn, although it was not neatly arranged, but it was not chaotic.

A thick futon was laid on the stone platform at the front, and two Taoists stood on each side.

Mrs. Wei found a position that was not too far back, and sat down cross-legged with Mrs. Wei and the others. Yu Nianniang sat in the back.

There are mostly women in the entire law field, and Yu Nianniang's front and back are either women or girls. Of course, there are also men who come to listen to the Fa, and they seem to be more active than women.

Yu Nianniang took a cursory look at the entire Dharma field, and the men who came to listen to the Fa sincerely seemed to be more active than the women, and they all sat in the front position.

If you want to hear this kind of puja more clearly and get closer to the Heavenly Master, you have to come early to take a seat, and some even stay here on the first day.

Yu Nianniang admires these people very much!

Everyone whispered in twos and threes, and Yu Nianniang sat alone on the futon, but in a quarter of an hour, she felt that her whole leg was numb, and she said hello to Mrs. Wei, and finally squeezed out of the crowd.
