Chapter 14 Famen Ancient Temple
The road to Fufeng was not easy, the road was very narrow and potholed, and the jeep was bumpy all the way, and it was only in the middle of the night that it drove to Famen Temple. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is a good moonlight tonight, and I see that the mountain gate of this temple is very ordinary, the brick wall is overgrown with weeds, and a sloping tower in the courtyard is in disrepair, and there are faint grasses on it.
Famen Temple was established in the eleventh year of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty (68 years), the original name of Zhou and Wei was also called "Asoka Temple", Sui changed its name to "Chengshi Dojo", and the early Tang Dynasty changed its name to "Famen Temple", known as "Royal Temple". According to historical records, the temple used to worship the finger bone relics of Sakyamuni in the early years, and became one of the four major Buddhist holy places in ancient China. In the Tang Dynasty, the Buddha of Famen Temple was revered as the relics of the true body of the protector of the country, and there were eight emperors who opened the underground palace of Famen Temple once every 30 years to welcome the relics to the palace for offerings. After the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains was still in turmoil, and there were many people with ulterior motives who had the idea of relics, and Famen Temple suffered disasters many times, but the relics were never found. Later, people said that it was because the war annoyed the Buddha and took away the miracle, and the relics disappeared.
Yu Wei was whispering to Su San about the history of Famen Temple, and Guo Sheng walked up to the door and knocked a few times with the door knocker. The heavy wooden door creaked open, and a monk probed and said, "Senior brother." ”
"Senior Brother Liangqing, excuse me."
Entering the temple, Guo Sheng probably talked about Su San and the others wanting to visit Master Langyue. Liangqing said: "Master has expected that you will arrive in the next few days, so go with me now." ”
Everyone followed Liangqing to the backyard.
Yu Wei asked Luo Yin in a low voice: "Why are we here here for this Langyue Master?" ”
Luo Yin shook his head: "It's not us, it's just the fruit saint alone." ”
"This mage is really powerful, it can be counted."
Su San heard it on the side, and couldn't help but glance at him, but unfortunately Yuwei didn't see it in the night.
"Stupid you, Master Lang Yue is a famous Buddhist master in the northwest, all the disciples are very respectful to him, Lang Yue must know some of Guosheng's personal circumstances, and when he heard about the haunting of the Shen family, he naturally thought that he would be inseparable from his disciples."
Yu Wei screamed when he heard this, but the two monks did not look back. Yu Wei stuck out his tongue and said, "It's really boring to practice like this." ”
Luo Yin patted him: "What kind of place is this, be honest." ”
Yes, this is a thousand-year-old temple, although it has gone through several rises and falls for thousands of years, but this blue brick path may have greeted the frame of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty back then, the years have passed, and the grand scene here no longer exists, but everyone should have a sense of awe.
Thinking like this, the group walked under the tower, and the evening breeze blew, and the tower bell jingled, as if they were in favor of Luo Yin's words.
They came to a meditation room in the backyard, and Liangqing said, "Please wait." ”
When I opened the door and went in, there was a long smell of sandalwood coming from the crack in the door.
After a while, Liangqing opened the door and said, "Please come in." ”
When the fruit saint entered, he knelt down and bowed to the master.
I saw a white-bearded monk sitting cross-legged on the couch, with a kind face. After the prayer, the fruit saint said, "You have broken the vows." ”
"Yes, the disciple has committed the vow. The monks were supposed to have six pure roots, but the disciple couldn't bear it when he thought of the letter sent by his cousin before his death. ”
"I think that my parents and the whole family were killed, and I have been tortured by demons for many years, you are strong-blooded, and I shouldn't be too harsh on you at this age."
"Thank you, Master."
Lang Yue's eyes fell on Yu Wei and smiled slightly: "You are the old man?" ”
"Yes."
Yu Wei stepped forward, bowed, and whispered a few times.
Su San stood aside, listening that this should not be Chinese, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
Lang Yue also replied in a similar language, and then said with a smile: "It's been many years, and the local accent has not changed, Xiaoyou, please take a seat." ”
Everyone sat down, and the fruit saint stood respectfully aside.
"I'm going to go into Tibet." Luo Yin got straight to the point.
"Since it's in Tibet, how can it be involved in my little apprentice's private affairs?"
Lang Yue was puzzled.
Luo Yin explained the general situation, sighed and said: "At first, I just thought it was a trivial matter of pretending to be a ghost, but now I find that this matter may involve the loss of national treasures. ”
Lang Yue nodded frequently when she heard this: "Yes, a few little friends have clear faces, they are really people with great wisdom, there have been frequent wars in the past few decades, how many people are just living in the troubled times, just asking for three meals a day to be safe, but the little friends can think of their family and country, and the old man admires them." ”
At this time, Master Liangqing came over with a tea tray.
By the candlelight in the house, Su San saw the appearance of this good young man clearly. It turned out that his appearance was extremely ordinary, his cheekbones were slightly high, his face was full of wrinkles, he looked like he should be fifty or sixty years old, and he spoke with a strong Henan accent.
After Liangqing delivered the tea, he also stood beside Lang Yue.
"Master, my cousin should have known the secret of the Shen family before she was killed. Ask the master to help the apprentice. ”
Guo Sheng mentioned his senior sister with a heavy heart.
Lang Yue twisted the Bodhi Buddha beads and said: "I have been in the northwest for many years, but I have never interacted with high-ranking officials and nobles, and it is their business that they have courtesy to me, but I really can't ask people everywhere for this matter." What's more......" he sighed and said, "Since Shen Liang established a diocese around here, there have always been people watching around this temple, and Liangqing has encountered it many times, since Shen Liang and the national treasure have a smuggling relationship, I am afraid that our temple will also be robbed." Those people will never let go of the ancient temple like this, but they are afraid that there will be a bigger storm. ”
"Huh? They still play the idea of Famen Temple? Su San was stunned for a moment. Yu Wei suddenly realized: "Could it be that you are coveting relics? Is there really a relic in this Famen Temple? ”
According to historical records, Famen Temple once enshrined the Buddha's finger relics, but then the Central Plains war, no one knows where the relics were in the troubled times. It's just that this Famen Temple has a reputation and is inevitably coveted. Lang Yue sighed, "The world only says that relics are treasures, but they don't know that this is a holy thing, and it will not be available in the war era. ”
Luo Yin nodded and said, "What does the master think of this matter?" ”
Lang Yue looked at Guo Sheng, saw that his disciple's eyes were red and swollen, and smiled slightly: "Although this is a mundane matter, it is not a matter of one person and one family. The death of the Liu family is far from being a matter of relatives and friends of the Fruit Saint family, but a matter of national treasure comfort, if you want to do something, let it go. He calmly looked at the crowd and added, "As for what you have to do on your journey west, the old man should do his best to help, and all three of them are blessed people, Amitabha." ”
Everyone followed Liangqing out of the meditation room, and suddenly heard a muffled sound in the distance.
Yu Wei was startled and hurriedly asked, "Are you firing a cannon?" Bandits around? ”
Liangqing shook his head and said helplessly: "This is a thief destroying the tomb on Zhou Yuan again, it's a pity, it's a pity, how many national treasures have been stolen like this, maybe they will be destroyed, alas, I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world, how could this underground treasure not be like this?" ”
