Chapter 481: White Horse Temple
Ao Lie said: "It turns out that the stone fish fell to Jiafu Temple. ”
Qinglong said: "Yes, I haven't become an immortal cultivator at that time, just an ordinary miscellaneous dragon in Qinglong Pond, at that time Jiafu Temple was still a relatively small temple, and only a few monks were monks here." I saw a white light falling from the sky and entered the temple, so I sneaked over to take a look, and saw a stone fish that had been smashed into a blur and landed in the courtyard. Soon the monk who was keeping vigil came out and informed the abbot of the news, and the next day, the old abbot asked the craftsman to carve the fish in shape to restore it to its original appearance.
Amazingly, as the craftsman hammers and chisels, the chisel makes a crisp and pleasant sound as soon as it hits it. And with the constant sound of 'clanging', the hot weather gradually became cooler, and I felt a trace of aura entering my body, and my realm was a little loose, so I knew that this stone fish must be a treasure. So I often came to Jiafu Temple in the dead of night and knocked on the stone fish, and the monks in Jiafu Temple thought it was haunted, so they fled.
I originally wanted to wait for the monks in the temple to scare away, so I could come in and practice alone, but I didn't expect that later Master Huayan came, and often lectured to the people around him, and the incense was strong again, so I forced Master to move today, so I had to monopolize the stone fish. ”
An Xiaoyu said: "Qinglong, since you know that the stone fish is a treasure, why don't you steal it?"
Qinglong was helpless, "I also tried to steal the stone fish, but there is a formation on the stone fish, and I can't get close." ”
An Xiaoyu said: "I'll try,"
An Xiaoyu stretched out and grabbed the stone fish, and as soon as his palm touched the stone fish, a white light emitted from the surface of the stone fish, which ejected An Xiaoyu more than ten feet.
Jin Chan said: "It seems that this stone fish has the seal of Heaven on it, and others cannot steal the stone fish from Jiafu Temple." ”
An Xiaoyu said: "Qinglong, it seems that you are asked to worship Abbot Huayan as a teacher, you are a blessing in disguise, and you can cultivate near Shiyu in the future." ”
Qinglong said embarrassedly: "Don't worry, the Monkey King, since I worship Huayan as a teacher, I am a disciple of Jiafu Temple, I will protect Jiafu Temple and Master, and I will not be double-minded." ”
Ao Lie said: "Qinglong, you also saw it just now, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is my uncle, he knows that you are here, and he will pay attention to your every move." ”
Qinglong said: "The third prince can rest assured, Qinglong understands." ”
Jin Chan said: "Senior Brother Huayan, we are leaving, and we will see you again for the Yu Lan Festival." ”
Abbot Huayan clasped his hands together and said, "Senior sister, the Monkey King, donors, goodbye to the Yu Lan Festival." ”
Out of Jiafu Temple, An Xiaoyu asked, "Master, which temple are we going to next?"
Jin Chan said: "Let's go to the White Horse Temple." ”
Ao Lie said: "Master, I know that the White Horse Temple is the first temple in the Eastern world. ”
Jin Chan said: "Ao Lie is right. ”
Zhu Ganglie said: "Master, anyway, there is nothing to do all the way, you can tell us the origin of the White Horse Temple." ”
Jin Chan said: "Okay, then I'll tell you that Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty had a strange dream one night, dreaming of a golden man who was six feet tall,
With a light on his body, he flew into the palace from the west. ”
The next day, Emperor Ming summoned the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to realize his dream and see if it was good or bad. Ministers, look at me, I look at you, no one can say why. At this time, the minister Fu Yixuan said: 'Your Majesty, on the eighth day of the fourth month of the twenty-fourth year of King Zhao of Zhou, the mountains and rivers shook, the rivers flooded, and at night the western sky appeared with five-colored brilliance. Tai Shi Su speculated that this should be the birth of a great sage in the Western Heavens. This saint came to the world to save the suffering, and his faith will be transmitted to our country in a thousand years. Fu Yi watched the emperor listen attentively to his explanation, and continued: "Counting on my fingers, it has been nearly a thousand years since then, and the golden man that Your Majesty dreamed of is probably this saint! His Majesty must have dreamed of him. ’
Emperor Ming was very happy when he heard what Fu Yi said, and wanted to know the details of this god, so he sent twelve people, including Cai Yu in Langzhong and Qin Jing, a disciple of the doctor, to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac and go to the Western Regions to seek Buddha and seek the Dharma.
After these more than ten people left Luo, they trekked through mountains and rivers, experienced hardships and dangers, and arrived in the country of the Great Moon Clan a year later. Buddhism has flourished there, with numerous monasteries and pagodas. After collecting some Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues, the group invited the ancient Indian monks who went to the country of the Great Moon clan to preach, and returned to Luoyang, Kyoto, in the tenth year of Yongping. Emperor Ming was overjoyed, specially summoned two monks, and then asked them to stay in the Honglu Temple of the Diplomatic Office to translate the Buddhist scriptures brought back.
In the second year, Emperor Ming issued an edict to build a monastery outside the Yongmen Gate in Luoyang, according to the architectural style of Tianzhu. After the monastery was completed, it was hidden in the Buddhist scriptures retrieved by Cai Su and others. Emperor Ming also deliberately hung the Buddha statue on the cool platform where he studied when he was a child and the Shouling Tomb that he pre-built for himself. The two eminent monks also moved into the cool platform and continued to translate the scriptures until they passed away.
Since the two eminent monks lived in Honglu Temple when they came, people called the monastery where the two eminent monks live at the moment 'temple'. Later, the monastery was called a 'temple'. When Yongping took the scriptures, it was a white horse who worked hard to carry back the Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues, and in order to commemorate the work of the white horse, this monastery was named 'White Horse Temple'. ”
Ao Lie said: "That white horse is really hard, from the far Western Regions to carry back so many scriptures, it is very commemorative to name the temple with the white horse." ”
An Xiaoyu said: "Ao Lie, if one day you are asked to turn into a white horse to carry scriptures, are you willing?"
Ao Lie said: "If you all go with me, I am willing." ”
An Xiaoyu smiled strangely: "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”
Everyone came to the outside of the White Horse Temple, and saw that less than a kilometer east of the mountain gate of the White Horse Temple, there was a square-shaped dense eaves brick tower, called Qiyun Tower, also known as the Golden Square Tower. The tower has 13 floors, about 24 meters high, 7.8 meters long and wide at the bottom, and is a square girdle of Sumeru. The shape of the tower body is slightly parabolic, and the widest place is at the eaves of the fourth and fifth floors, so the tower appears to be unique in shape, exquisite and charming.
Jin Chan said: "This Qiyun Pagoda, originally called 'Shakya Relic Pagoda', was founded in the second year of the White Horse Temple, and should be the oldest pagoda in the Eastern world. Inside is a Buddha bone relic of the reincarnated Buddha
。 ”
Everyone came to the gate of the White Horse Temple, the little novice who guarded the mountain gate hurriedly entered the report, and after a while, several monks came out from inside, and the head of the temple was a black and thin old monk.
After the two sides met the ceremony, Jin Chan explained the intention, and the temple hurriedly let Jin Chan and the others into the meditation room to rest.
Jin Chan said: "Senior brother of the temple, I don't know if the abbot of your temple is here?"
The superintendent of the temple said with a sad face: "Amitabha, our temple is unfortunate, and the abbot is injured. ”
Jin Chan was surprised: "Why was the abbot injured?"
The temple supervisor said: "There is a big waterhole in the southeast of our White Horse Temple, and the monks of the temple and the people nearby water their crops take water from that pool. Recently, however, a toad spirit came and occupied the waterhole, preventing the White Horse Temple and the surrounding people from entering the vicinity of the waterhole, and the toad spirit has injured many people and flooded many crops and houses by the waterhole, and the people have suffered greatly. Our abbot theorized with it a few days ago, and was also poisoned by the toad essence, and now he is unconscious, and our people in the White Horse Temple are now panicking, and they don't know how to be good. ”
Jin Chan said: "Senior brother, let's go see the abbot." ”
The superintendent said: "Senior sister, please, donors, please." ”
Everyone came to the abbot's meditation room and looked at a white-eyed and white-bearded monk lying on the bed, the monk's face was blue, his skin was scarred, and he was unconscious.
Jin Chan said: "The abbot was really hit by the toad venom. ”
Jian Si said: "Senior Sister Jin Chan, can Senior Brother Abbot still be saved?"
Jin Chan said: "Wukong, take a bowl of runic water." ”
An Xiaoyu hurriedly performed the runic water technique and handed it to Jin Chan, who took out a pill from the ring, put it in the rune water to dissolve, and then poured it into the abbot's mouth.
After a while, the abbot spat out a few mouthfuls of green slime and gradually opened his eyes.
Jian Si excitedly held the abbot's hand and said, "Senior brother, are you awake?"
The abbot looked at the people in front of him, understood, and said, "You saved me?" ”
Jin Chan said: "Senior brother, you don't have to be polite, fortunately, Wukong knows how to spell water, which can get rid of poison." ”
The abbot struggled to sit up and said, "Senior brother, hurry up and order to go down, prepare a meal, and entertain a few life-saving benefactors." ”
Jin Chan said: "Senior brother abbot, don't be busy eating, let's go meet that toad essence." ”
Jian Si said: "Senior sister, the toad's essence mana is all over the sky, you still don't want to provoke it, it's a big deal that our White Horse Temple will dig its own well." ”
An Xiaoyu said angrily: "You old monk, it's so unreasonable, why are you so cowardly and afraid." ”
Jin Chan said: "Wukong, don't be rude." ”
Immediately, Jin Chan said to the old abbot: "Senior brother, let's go and see the toad essence, if it's too powerful, let's find a way." ”
The abbot said, "Okay, the poor monk will also accompany you." ”
The temple led the way in front, two little monks supported the abbot, and Jin Chan and the others followed closely and came to a large pool.
Jin Chan said: "Wukong, you go and call the battle." ”
An Xiaoyu said: "Okay, Master, you can just take a look." ”
An Xiaoyu reached out and took out the Ruyi golden hoop stick in his ear, and shouted:
"Long, long, long. ”
The golden hoop rod immediately became dozens of zhang long, and An Xiaoyu stretched the golden hoop rod into the waterhole and stirred it.
"Boom. ”
The pool exploded, making a splash dozens of feet high, and then a brown-yellow head the size of a house appeared on the water.
Then a hundred-foot-sized toad spirit screamed, jumped out of the water, and cried out in a hoarse voice: "Where did you come from? Disturb my dreams!
An Xiaoyu looked at the toad essence, and it turned out to be the realm of the four refined cultivators.
An Xiaoyu said: "Stinky toad, did you hurt the monks of the White Horse Temple and the nearby villagers?"
The toad spirit said disdainfully: "What about me hurting it? ”
An Xiaoyu said: "Stinky toad, you are quite dragged." ”
The toad spirit said angrily: "Don't call me a stinky toad, I am a frog god." ”
An Xiaoyu smiled: "I'll call you a stinky toad, what can you do?" Stinky toad, croaking ......."
The toad spirit said angrily: "I ate you!"
After speaking, a bright red tongue more than ten zhang long rolled towards An Xiaoyu.
