【013】In the Tenma Temple
Tianma Temple is located in the west of the city of Zhongjing, about 20 miles away, according to legend, Tianma Temple was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but in the war-torn years gradually became a broken wall, and in the Wu Zetian period, Tianma Temple was renovated, although there are also wars in the millennium, but fortunately, the incense continues, in modern times, Tianma Temple has become a business card of Zhongjing, especially in the last one or two decades, many people who do business have also begun to burn incense and pray for blessings, Tianma Temple incense is even more prosperous.
Tianma Temple is divided into four large areas, the first is the temple gate, the dignified and majestic temple door is inscribed with three big characters of Tianma Temple, a temple gate is an open square, the center of the square is a big Buddha, the incense burner inherited from the Buddha is full of various incense thick and thin. The smoke is thick and the incense is in full swing.
Walking forward from the square is the Tianwang Palace, King Kong angry eyes, the Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows, the entrance is for the tourists to kneel and worship, from the Tianwang Palace to the back along the central axis of the word is the Daxiong Treasure Palace, which is also the most central building of the Tianma Temple, the Bodhisattva enshrined in the hall is said to have been handed down from the Tang Dynasty to the present. The final building area is the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and the Death Pagoda, which are not allowed to be visited by tourists, and contain many handwritten scrolls and relics of high monks.
On either side are the corresponding wings, most of which are used by the monks of the temple, and there are also pious people who can enter the door to petition and fast with them.
The presiding officer of Tianma Temple is called Xuguang, he has never been seen out of Tianma Temple, and he has never been seen to participate in any social activities, occasionally pilgrims pray, and Master Xuguang will also preside over prayers, but he never deals with pilgrims. It is rumored that five years ago, there was a mine boss who was not inferior to Xuguang, and he must let Xuguang accompany him to dine, from donating 30,000 incense money to 300,000 to 30,000,000 to 30,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, ”
The mine boss didn't think so, but after leaving Tianma Temple, his mine was first boycotted by the surrounding mines, and then found that his wife was stealing people behind his back, and finally he was in a car accident when he went out, although he finally saved his name but also paid the price of his legs.
After being put in a wheelchair, the mine owner had a series of accidents, and his only son first fell seriously ill, and he almost exhausted all the family property, but it was also ineffective. Later, I thought of the Buddha words of the Master of Xuguang, and saw that there was no effect, so he simply used the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and let people send him to Tianma Temple.
He couldn't figure it out, and in desperation, he used rogue means, and the mine boss was also single, climbed down from the wheelchair, crawled a few steps from the temple gate and kowtowed, and arrived at the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
There was a little monk next to him who picked him up and took him to the practice place of Master Xuguang, just a **, Xuguang looked at his already bloody knees, and sighed softly and said: "Today's fruit, the day before yesterday's cause." There is a cause before there is an effect, and there must be a cause if there is an effect. In all fairness, bow to the Bodhisattva. ”
The mine boss meditated for three days in the place where the void light practiced, and the drop of water and rice did not enter, which is strange to say, after leaving the Tianma Temple, the only son who had not been cured by any treatment quickly returned to normal, and his business gradually stabilized, although it was not as beautiful as usual, but it could be regarded as a wealthy family. Since then, the mine owner has come to Tianma Temple at least four times a year, except for the time when the Chinese New Year will donate some incense money, and he will pray quietly on weekdays, and he has the posture of taking refuge in my Buddha.
And it was also from that time that the reputation of Master Xuguang of Tianma Temple gradually appeared, and he never talked to the laity, so it was even more mysterious.
Shen You, who walked into the gate of Tianma Temple, listened to the story of a story, and when he bowed his head slightly, he was also a little suspicious, after all, as an atheist, it is indeed a little suspicious to say that it is such a coincidence, but from the news from the mouths of millions of descendants of several sects, anyone knows that there will definitely be no falsehood.
In front of the big Buddha in the square, Shen You, like many tourists, stuffed the money into the merit box, and then picked up a stick of incense placed there and lit it reverently, and retreated after arching the arch as pious as a tourist.
This is also the difference between Tianma Temple and many other temples, there are no monks to take care of or sell incense, according to the length of the subdivision into different types of five areas, flat on the long case in front, in the corner of the long case is the merit box, Shen You stood aside after the incense and observed for a moment and found that no one went to take the incense at will, almost everyone was afraid of less, and there was even a relatively shabby person with a small handkerchief wrapped in money, a little bit with a slightly trembling hand to put the money devoutly in the merit box, Originally, I wanted to take the longest and thickest incense, but as if I was afraid that the money would not be much, I thought for a while and picked up a pillar of incense that was second longest and second thickest, and then reverently incense and kowtowed.
From the temple gate square to the Tianwang Palace, and then to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, no one is making noise here, even if the children with them shout, they will be quickly pulled over by their parents to signal silence, which is obviously a strange solemnity and solemnity. This is in stark contrast to the tourists Shen You has seen in other scenic spots.
"Old man, just now you said that most of the east and west wings are inhabited by monks or people who make wishes, and the people who make wishes are gone, why don't I see a monk when I walk here? And so many houses. Where have all the people gone? ”
Hearing this, he smacked his lips and said: "This is also the difference of Tianma Temple, there is a field of its own in Tianma Temple, that is, near the small hill about two miles behind the temple, these monks will go there to work on weekdays, there is never any food, or very little, most of them are mainly fruit trees and vegetables, and on weekdays, whether it is a monk or a prayer person in the temple to eat vegetables or fruits, most of them are planted by themselves. It is said that the presiding master of the void light also occasionally goes over to work for a while. ”
Shen You was taken aback when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "According to what you said, isn't it true that many people will go over on weekdays, after all, it is in a public place, and people are indispensable to go over, right?" ”
"You're really wrong, the people around Tianma Temple are extremely devout to Tianma Temple, and no one has ever passed there in that area at will, let alone went to see the monks as you said."
Shen You sighed and said, "Old man, do you think that there is a little weirdness behind such a low-key host and such a strict belief?" ”
"Huh?" After hearing this, he first flickered for a moment, and then nodded lightly and said: "If you don't say it, I really don't feel it, but when I listen to you at this moment, I really feel that something is wrong!" ”
"Indeed, you can imagine that no matter whether it is the current group or the gangs like us, which cohesion and power of faith can be so cohesive, maybe Tianma Temple is just brewing around here, and it is not famous in other places, but for other gangs, although it is said to be the largest gang in eastern Guangdong, how many people can Su Changan really control as the leader? And how many ordinary people will respect him as a dragon head? And in the same way, let's talk about our thousand doors, although our thousand doors and eight generals are now complete, but compared to before, how much can we persist in the belief in Yu God? In fact, from this aspect, the presiding officer of Tianma Temple is still very means. Although he doesn't show his head, he is more powerful than showing up. ”
After listening to Shen You's words, he quietly muttered a few words and said, "Don't say it, I want you to say this, this Void Light Master, he is just afraid of attracting the attention of others." ”
"That's right! The more low-key, the more unusual it is, from this point of view, what Nalan Changfeng said, it is really possible for Shen Shi to be injured here. ”
"But it is said that the one in the Shen stone is the Great Shura Mantra, this is the means of Tantra, when will this Tantra be related to Tianma Temple?"
Although there were hundreds of doubts, Shen You did not have the slightest doubt, Zhongjing City was not particularly far from Quancheng, and when Quancheng and Zeng Hu were fighting, if it weren't for Zeng Hu's support, even if he combined the power of Zou Qingmei and the six-fingered thief Wang Lang Renli, he might not be able to subdue him. Therefore, for Shen You, everything is possible to meet Zeng Hu here.
Seeing that Shen You was silent, he whispered, "Could it be that the three of them are together to trap you?" ”
Shen You smiled, as bright and innocent as a child, and said to the millions: "Let them pit, they can pit me, if you don't let them pit it, how can they pit me?" ”
Seeing Shen You's slightly cunning face, he said with a smile: "Could it be that your kid has started to set up a set?" Ready to circle them in? ”
Shen You waved his hand lightly and said, "No, no, I just want to understand by myself, but in order to give them a sense of accomplishment in their hearts, I deliberately acted very reluctantly, so that when I made a request, I would take the initiative." ”
After hearing this, he smiled and said, "You slippery head." I don't know how to describe you! ”
"Actually, I have to come to this Tianma Temple, if nothing else, let's just say Tantric Zeng Hu, this is destined to come for me, I didn't think about it so much, what happened that night can explain everything."
"So you followed their words and pretended to come to the Tenma Temple reluctantly?"
"That's right! Of course, Nalan Changfeng may be in high spirits now, thinking that I have a head start through Wen Ci, but he has a praying mantis trick and I have a yellow finch skill. It is not certain who will fall into whose urn at that time! ”
