Chapter 1: Atonement
Tianlong Temple is located at the southern foot of Zhongyue Song Mountain in Shannan Province, backed by Tianlong Peak, surrounded by mountains, connected peaks and peaks, scattered, forming the natural barrier of Tianlong Temple. Songshan Mountain is Taimur Mountain in the east, Shaomuro Mountain in the west, each has 36 peaks, the peak is famous, Tianlong Temple is under the Tianlong Peak of Shaomuro Mountain in the dense bamboo forest, so it is called Tianlong.
As the ancient temple known as "the ancestral garden of Zen Buddhism, the first temple in the world", the pilgrims and visitors who come to the Buddha every day are endless, but no one dares to make a loud noise, and occasionally hear the wooden fish, the bell, and the Sanskrit singing intertwined together to form the beauty full of Zen.
No matter how much resentment, dissatisfaction, sorrow, and sadness are hidden in the hearts of people who enter the Buddhist temple...... When they came out, they were all peaceful, with a sense of sustenance.
All beings are equal in front of the Buddha, and when everyone comes out, they feel that this world is equal, the poor have the joy of the poor, the sorrow of the rich, just like Tang Bohu's "Peach Blossom Nunnery" said: "If the rich are compared to the poor, one is on the flat ground and the other is in the sky; If I am poor [***] with horses and carts, he will have to drive me to be idle. ”
But when they saw the convoy of three luxury cars slowly stopping in front of the mountain gate in a long snake formation, everyone's hearts suddenly lost the comfortable state of mind just now.
These three luxury cars, one in front and one in the back are Mercedes-Benz, where they originally appeared, the classic herringbone logo is eye-catching, but at this time it is like turning into two green leaves, setting off the behemoth in the middle.
The one in the middle is a super long Hummer that is more than ten meters long! It looks like a city railway train, so that these people who just thought that all beings are equal can't help but let out a "whoosh" of surprise, 300,000 pixel mobile phones, 3 million pixel digital camera, all the focus is instantly focused on this legendary super long Hummer.
There are many people who don't own a car but like to admire it, and almost all of them instantly recognize that this is the legendary Super Hummer that is the only one in Asia.
Together with the monks who were lazily strolling at the gate of the temple, their faces changed color at this time, and they hurriedly greeted them, and the little cheap appearance made the good men and women who had just been comforted from the temple secretly swear in their hearts that they would never come here again to make incense and make vows.
Such a super-long Humvee, even the driver is not an ordinary person, according to the media interview at the time of exposure, it is said that the driver has unusual driving skills and has driven special vehicles in the army. After all, the Hummerlimo, which is ten meters long and has a wheelbase of eight meters, is not something that ordinary people can control.
The door of the Hummer was opened from the outside by a man in a black suit who got out of the Mercedes Benz, and immediately the pilgrims, tourists and monks around them stretched their necks and looked eagerly, hoping to have the privilege of seeing who the owner of the only Hummer in Asia was.
The first to step out was a slender and well-proportioned bare calf, with a silver glittering anklet around her ankle, but it was more flattering to her fair skin. Some of the women involuntarily touched their faces, muttering in their hearts that the skin of other people's calves was afraid that it would be whiter and more tender than their own faces......
It turned out to be a woman, it must be a second wife! It must be Xiaomi! The men speculated maliciously, but when they saw the woman get out of the car, they suddenly opened their eyes wide and held their breath.
She is like the finest porcelain in the world, and like a flawless jade, so beautiful that the first glance will stop your heartbeat.
When she walked towards the mountain gate, in the autumn waves, everyone was taken by God and their souls flew out of the sky. Her slender and graceful figure, slender waist and limbs will swing with great charm when she walks, just like the wind blowing willows and rain hitting flower branches.
Originally, the men were looking with their mouths wide open and drooling, but when she approached, the men all lowered their heads with inferiority instincts or deliberately avoided their faces, not daring or unwilling, not wanting to surprise the beauty.
The women were envious, jealous and hateful, but they were all ashamed of themselves, and when she approached, they would involuntarily take a few steps back. I'm afraid that standing close to her will cause people to contrast.
The monk who trotted forward to offer courtesy, at this time only dared to walk carefully behind the woman, and there were two men in black suits between the monk and the woman. The monk was also willing, quietly and greedily breathing, because of the tailwind, he could occasionally smell the perfume on the woman's body, which was a faint refreshing scent of grass, so that the monk could be regarded as a foreign meat. After being discovered by the man in the black suit, he glared directly, and the monk automatically hid away with a weak heart.
Lin Feiying's heart is not as calm as her face at this time, today she came to Tianlong Temple is not to worship the Buddha incense, in fact, she should be in her office on the eighty-eighth floor of the most luxurious office building "Pearl of the Orient" in Yanhai City at this time, busy and orderly review of financial statements, there will always be a cup of hot tea on the agarwood sandalwood desk with a faint fragrance of tranquility sandalwood, and then occasionally she will take a break from work and stand quietly in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window with a teacup overlooking the most prosperous side of the city, It was as if the whole city was trampled under her feet.
As the assistant to the president and marketing director of the Chen Foundation, a leading hotel and tourism company in China, Lin Feiying is very busy every day, and she is also happy to indulge in it.
But she couldn't work for a while, and now she, a national model of strong women, has been temporarily deprived of the right to work. It's all because of the person she is going to pick up in the Tianlong Temple now.
Although Lin Feiying was very resistant in her heart, she still accepted this arrangement.
The main gate of the mountain gate is a single eaves rest hilltop building with three rooms, built in the thirteenth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, the black and gold plaque of the Kangxi imperial pen inscription is hung horizontally above the mountain gate, the three words of "Tianlong Temple" are written on it, and the top of the plaque is engraved with the six-character seal of "the treasure of the Kangxi imperial pen".
As soon as you enter the mountain gate, you will see Maitreya Buddha offering in the Buddha shrine, with a big belly and a smile. Behind the Buddha shrine stands the wooden statue of Veda Veda erectively, after the mountain gate, it is the Yongdao, and the stele stones on both sides are like a forest. After passing through the stele forest through Yongdao, it is the palace of the king of heaven, and there is the hall of the great majesty after the palace of the king of heaven. After the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is a Tibetan scripture pavilion, which is the place where the monks of the temple hide the scriptures. After the scripture pavilion is the abbot's room, which is the place where the abbot lives and directors.
Lin Feiying walked all the way inside, and the place she was going to was the abbot's room.
Halfway through the stele forest, Lin Feiying saw a monk wearing a monk's robe on the stone road and kneeling down step by step towards Tiannoji Temple. The monk didn't look young, he had a long beard, a pious face, and every time he knelt down, his forehead hit the stone slab with a "knock" sound.
There were some good men and women who were watching, and from time to time someone took money and handed it to the monk. Whether it is a one-yuan change or a hundred-yuan bill, the monk's face does not change, and he is even a little impatient when he takes the money.
In this way, it is even more virtuous and noble, attracting people to compete for generosity. A little monk shook his head and sighed as if he was talking to himself: "Isn't it crazy to be able to bow down from Nantianlong step by step......
Lin Feiying glanced at the clothes at the knees of the monk, which had been worn out and tattered, and she could almost see the flesh and skin, and she couldn't help but feel quite touched. Looking back at the little monk, he was at most ten ** years old, but his slightly thin figure had a flying and domineering face, and there was a faint evil spirit between his eyebrows, which made Lin Feiying feel disgusted.
For people who can persist in what they want to do and do for many years, Lin Feiying is very appreciative, because she herself is also such a person.
And those onlookers who ridiculed the persistent people, Lin Feiying was doubly disgusted, because she had also been ridiculed before she succeeded.
So Lin Feiying opened the Kun bag she was carrying, took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to the monk. The monk also didn't even say a word of thanks, and he didn't even glance at Lin Feiying.
This made Concubine Lin even more respectful, and she didn't say anything or anything else, and after staring coldly at the annoying little monk, she led the two men in black suits to the abbot's room and continued to walk.
The pilgrims and tourists gradually dispersed, and the enlightened monk and the little monk also stopped in front of the Tianwang Palace.
"Money is like dung, I'll take it for you." The little monk smiled and stretched out his hand, and the monk really handed over all the money to the little monk.
However, if you look closely, you will find that this enlightened monk has a weak heart on his face. The "High Monk" asked in a terrified whisper on his face: "Uncle Eternal Life, will we be retributed if we do this......?"
"Aren't we trying to scrape together money to buy a gift for the abbot? If you don't do this, where will the money come from? The little monk gave a white "monk" a glance, according to the seniority he is still a generation higher than this "monk", such as today's abbot of the dragon is the "Yong" generation, the little monk Yongsheng is still the abbot's junior brother.
"But Uncle Shi......" "Senior Monk" still felt that something was wrong, the little monk Yongsheng turned his face, and the original flying and domineering expression and the evil aura between his eyebrows were suddenly swept away, revealing a solemn treasure that was just like the Buddha of Pudu sentient beings: "Master Yanxin, you are in love." ”
"Ah......" The "senior monk" was stunned.
"The donors who came to our Tianlong are all dedicated to the Buddha. The thought of my heart is to cleanse myself of the sins of this life so that I may have peace in the next life. Offering incense, burning paper, and throwing merit money all contain the pious will of the donors to wash away their sins. We're also helping them atone for their sins, Ami Tofu...... "Eternal life said this, his hands folded, looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle with compassion for the heavens, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on his cheeks, looking like a Buddha's light.
"What Uncle Immortal taught is that it is the master and nephew who are in love with each other...... this "senior monk" hurriedly folded his hands and bowed deeply: "The master and nephew will continue to help the donors atone for their sins, and this will go to ......"
"Head banging the slate a little louder! Don't think I don't know you've just been lazy......"
