I saw a very large ancient tree over there, I was afraid that ten people could not hold it together, and one of the branches stretched out wildly, as thick as a millstone, and there was actually a bronze bell hanging on it, with a dark appearance, large enough to cover two or three people in it. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info╔╗

At this time, someone was holding on to the wooden pole hanging in the air and slammed steadily into the bronze bell.

"Knock...... Knock ......"

Although the bell is not very loud, it travels far and wide, and there is a power that shocks the mind, and people can't help but immerse themselves in a very mysterious realm.

Ye Kai stood there, and suddenly felt that his mind was immersed in the cold mountain tiredness in the summer, and he had a feeling of enlightenment, as if the spiritual realm of the whole person had been greatly improved.

After a long time, Ye Kai said to Pei Buyqiu, "This bell sounds like it's really an antiquity." ”

"Dongshan Temple has a long history, and it is possible that there is an ancient bell handed down." Pei Junqiu was obviously also attracted by this bell, and she echoed Ye Kai's words and said.

There are many ancient bells in the mountain temple, this is common sense. ╔

From the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced, with the increase of temples, as the Buddhist bell as a ritual instrument is also more and more, becoming the mainstream of the ancient bell in China, according to legend, during the Southern Dynasties, nearly 500 temples in the capital, temples and temples have bells.

Because the bell is deep, loud and long, it can shock people's hearts, so the volume of ancient bells is generally relatively large.

The base frequency of the bell with large weight is low and the energy storage is large, so that the bell is deep and long.

In general, bronze bells made with tin added are more crisp than brass and iron bells.

The lower part of the bell and the lip of the bell are thickened and opened, which can make the sound radiate outward, and the bell will be loud.

Therefore, the bells of most Buddhist bells with religious appeal are made from bronze bells that are large and heavy, with thick lips and outwards.

This ancient bell preserved in Dongshan Temple, the sound is strong, the rumors are far away, and it should also be a bronze bell.

"Let's go and have a look." Ye Kai was interested in this ancient bell, so he said to everyone.

The biggest problem in the reconstruction of Dongshan Temple is that Dongshan Temple was destroyed earlier, and there is no specific description of Dongshan Temple in many historical documents, at most it is to mention the rental structure of Dongshan Temple, such as several major halls before and after, what scenery is inside, etc., and there is definitely no mention in the specific building structure. ╔╗

In this way, everyone is also a little worried, if the Dongshan Temple is built and the difference is too big from the previous one, it will be a little embarrassing.

Although it is said that since the establishment of Dongshan Temple, it has been repeatedly destroyed by fire and has been rebuilt many times, but the ancients are in the same vein in terms of architecture, and they have a lot of experience in temple construction, so the difference will not be very big.

However, modern building technology has been quite different from before, so if you want to build Dongshan Temple the same as in the past, I am afraid it is difficult and difficult, and it is best to find some pictures of the appearance of Dongshan Temple.

If this big bell can be confirmed, it is indeed the former Buddhist bell of Dongshan Temple, it is still very beneficial for the reconstruction of Dongshan Temple, after all, this is one of the few old things of Dongshan Temple that has survived.

Several people quickly walked near the bell and looked up at the person who rang the bell.

Although the Dongshan Temple is dilapidated, there are still monks on the Dongshan Temple, and the one who rings the bell is a monk who looks like he is over seventy years old, with a clear appearance and clear eyes, every time he hits the big bell, he seems to be calm and powerful, and he looks like he is concentrating on it. ╔╗

"How many knocks is he going to make?" Pei Buyqiu watched the old monk ring the bell slowly but non-stop, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

"It should be 108." Ye Kai replied, he really knew about this matter, "The bell of the monk temple is mostly struck once in the morning and dusk, each time the old one is struck tightly, 18 times slowly, and 18 times unhurriedly, and so on twice, a total of 108 times." ”

"Why is it set at 108, is there any explanation in this?" Pei Junqiu asked with some curiosity.

"This statement is a bit different...... Ye Kai explained casually, "One is that there are 12 months in a year, 24 solar terms, and 72 days (five days are one wait), which is 108, symbolizing the reincarnation of a year, and the days are long." Another theory is that people have 108 kinds of troubles, and the bell rings 108 times to get rid of the troubles of the world. Of the two explanations, I prefer the latter. ”

"I see." Pei Buyqiu listened, nodded again and again, and then said, "I also think the latter's explanation is more reasonable." ╔╗”

The old monk rang for a while before he finished ringing the 108 bells.

At this time, there were not many people around, most of them were enjoying the shade under the big trees, and they were all elderly people who came to exercise nearby.

Ye Kai was very interested in this ancient bell, so he walked over to observe.

The height of the big clock is about more than four meters, the diameter may be less than three meters, the shape is simple, the lines are smooth, when you touch it with your hand, you can feel a little grainy, although the surface is dark, but there is no rust, it can be seen that someone often comes to maintain.

On the lower part of the bell lip, there seems to be a relatively vague handwriting, Ye Kai looked at it, and saw a palm-sized word, which was circled with a circle, he circled around the ancient bell, and barely recognized the handwriting, "The bell is heard, the troubles are light, the wisdom is long, Bodhi is born, from hell, out of the fire pit, willing to become a Buddha, save all sentient beings." ”

"What?" Pei Junqiu was a little surprised when he heard this, "I didn't expect that there were words on this ancient clock, I didn't recognize them before." ”

"Hehe, this is an authentic Buddhist clock, naturally there are some words on it. ╔╗" Ye Kai replied, "It's just that the handwriting is blurred, and the distance is relatively far, if you don't pay attention, you will definitely not notice this problem."

On the surface of the big clock, in addition to these handwritings, there are not many other decorations, Ye Kai suddenly moved in his heart, wanting to see if there are also cast words or patterns in the big clock.

"Lehi, bring me your strong flashlight to use,......" Thinking of this, Ye Kai said to Lehi.

"Okay." Li Hai was patting the body of the big tree next to him, obviously very interested in this ancient tree, after listening to Ye Kai's words, he took out a strong flashlight from his small bag, and then handed it to Ye Kai.

"What are you going to do?" When Pei Junqiu saw it, he asked with some curiosity.

"I'm going to see what the inside of the bell looks like......" Ye Kai said, then walked directly below the bell with a flashlight, and shone it inside.

However, at this time, it seems that the interior is still dark, and it is far from the ground, so it is not easy to see clearly.

The tree is higher, the bottom of the bell is more than two meters high from the ground, usually ringing the bell, is from a stone platform next to it, so that their height is equal to the bell, then it is convenient to ring the bell.

Ye Kai was a little unwilling, so he found two rotten tables from the side, reluctantly stacked them on top of each other, placed them under the big clock, and then climbed up.

This time, he burrowed most of his body into the inside of the bell, and only his legs could be seen from the outside.

Ye Kai drilled inside, and swept the surrounding clock wall with a strong flashlight, but he didn't find any special ornamentation, although there were some rust stains inside, but it was not strong.

Perhaps because someone has to knock on it every day, some rot is difficult to grow, and the climate above Dongshan is generally dry and cold, which is not conducive to the growth of rot.

"Did you find anything inside?" Pei Buyqiu was waiting very anxiously below, so he asked out loud.

In fact, she is also a person who likes to join in the fun, seeing Ye Kai tossing like a treasure hunt there, she can't wait to jump on it herself, accompany Ye Kai to take a look, and see if there are really any unexpected surprises inside.

"Nothing was found, it was pitch black, and there was no ornament......ation," Ye Kai replied.

However, after a pause, Ye Kai found a few inscriptions directly above the inside of the big clock, and he took a closer look, it was the four big characters of "Treasure of the Town Palace", it was not very clear, if it wasn't for Ye Kai holding a strong flashlight, he would not have been able to find these words at all.

"The treasure of the town palace? What does this mean? After Ye Kai looked at it, he didn't understand it a little, and when he looked down again, he saw that the inner wall was smooth and round, and he couldn't see anything else except for some faint rust.

After looking up and down, and didn't find anything special, Ye Kai jumped down, then moved the two rotten tables out of the way, and returned the bright flashlight to Li Hai.

As soon as he turned his head, he suddenly saw Long Zhengjie, Qu Youyi and others dozens of meters away.

Long Zhengjie was better, it seemed that he was looking at the scenery in the distance, or to avoid facing Ye Kai face to face, but Huo Youyi's expression was a little special, there seemed to be some nervousness on his face, and his eyes were staring directly at Ye Kai, or the big bell behind Ye Kai.

"It's weird!" Ye Kai's doubts in his heart became more and more serious now because of Qu Youyi's expression.

He is also a person who is good at figuring out the psychology of others, and when he sees this expression of Que Youyi, the first feeling is that Guan Youyi is very concerned about this big bell, but a big bell is not enough to excite Guan Youyi, a wealthy businessman on Hong Kong Island, so maybe what he is interested in is not the big bell itself, but some other meanings given by the big bell.

Ye Kai thought about these things, and couldn't help but move in his heart, could it be that this big bell is really a bit famous?

I don't know why, Ye Kai's heart suddenly surged with the four words he had just seen, "Treasure of the Town Palace." ”

He felt that perhaps Qu Youyi's concerns were linked by four words, if not, there was really nothing worthy of his attention on this big bell.

The treasure of the town palace, what kind of palace is this bell to town? Ye Kai's heart couldn't help but be a little curious.
