The morning fog is misty, and there is a murmuring stream.

At this time, it was the end of the hour, the morning bell of the Hanling Temple had already sounded, and the light in the wilderness was already bright, but the mountains and forests were a little dim.

The stone steps up the mountain are well maintained and spacious, and there are ancient trees on both sides, which does not affect the climbing, but it is impossible to see the scenery in the distance.

At the forefront were, of course, the five hundred guards, followed by many officials from the Guanli Hall and the Hanlin Academy, then the students of the Wu Dynasty, then the students from the Three Kingdoms, and finally the five hundred guards.

So the procession stretched out for a long time, winding up the mountain steps, like a long dragon.

The students were chattering about the story of this Hanling Temple, or they were surprised by the strange flowers and plants on the side of the road, and suddenly heard a roaring sound, turned a corner, and saw a waterfall like a white dragon into the sea speeding down.

Then a mist rose and permeated the mountains, wetting the flowers and trees, as well as the people here.

"There is a heavenly lake on this Hanshan Temple, and the water of this waterfall comes from the heavenly lake, so this scene is called the Milky Way upside down. It's just that most of the people who come to this Hanling Temple are devout believers, in order to listen to the evening drum and morning bell here, in order to burn a pillar of high incense in front of the Buddha, and ask the Buddha to bless the heart, so the name of the evening drum and morning bell of the Hanling Temple is spread very widely, and these scenery is much lighter. ”

Fan Tianning walked with Fu Xiaoguan with the withered cicada, he looked at the waterfall and talked, "It's a pity that the sun hasn't risen at this time, otherwise if there is sunlight falling on this waterfall, maybe you can see the seven-colored rainbow." ”

Fu Xiaoguan looked at Fan Tianning in some surprise, "How do you know?" ”

"Because I have read a lot of miscellaneous books, this Hanling Temple can be recorded in the book "One Hundred and Eighty Temple Travels", which was written by the monk Yunyou three hundred years ago, he spent his life all over the world, and lived in the Landa Temple in his later years, and wrote the detailed appearance of the one hundred and eighty temples."

So Buddhism is prosperous in this world, but what about Taoism?

It seems that he has never heard of it except for a Taoist academy, and Fu Xiaoguan thought to himself that he would have to ask the senior brother when he went back.

Passing through the mist of this waterfall and continuing along the stone steps, the light is brighter, and you can vaguely see the red walls and green tiles hidden in the forest, these buildings are quite scattered, and I think they are the places where the monks of Hanling Temple live.

Further up, the smell of incense is in the air.

Looking into the distance, you can see cigarette smoke curling in the dense forest, and you can faintly hear the Sanskrit singing of the monks in the temple in their morning class.

"I think it is the front hall, which is where the Tianwang Palace is located, and the main venue of this cultural meeting is in the back mountain, that is, next to the Tianhu Lake." Fan Tianning explained to Fu Xiaoguan, looked at Fu Xiaoguan's puzzled eyes, and said with a smile: "You are very busy, but I am very idle." To tell you the truth, I've been to this Hanling Temple once, just the day after you were injured. I came early in the morning, wandered around for a day, listened to the evening drum and morning bell here, stayed in the temple for a night, and went down the mountain on the second day. ”

"For this cultural meeting, many new buildings have been built in the back mountain, mainly residences, after all, thousands of people have to be arranged to live, where are there so many guest houses in the temple?"

"You will know that the place is very good, the Tianhu Lake is vast, just next to the Tiantian Lake, a huge Buddha was newly built, when I went to see it, many people were sculpting the golden body for the Buddha statue, and I thought it had been completed. It is several times taller than the Buddha in Naroda Temple! ”

In the explanation of Fan Tianning, a free guide, a magnificent mountain gate appeared in front of Fu Xiaoguan and the others.

There are three big golden characters written on the mountain gate: Hanling Temple!

There is still a couplet engraved on both sides of the mountain gate, which is quite interesting:

Come to worship? He must bow and bow to this place with his heart and how many crimes he has committed.

Who is a preacher? They will break their feelings, and speak words of warning, so that they may be terrified of God.

"This couplet and words, but they were all written by Princess Zhengyang when the Hanling Temple was first built, which is really breathtaking!"

Fu Xiaoguan thought so, so it seems that the princess Zhengyang five hundred years ago had a very deep understanding of the Buddhist scriptures, otherwise she would not have been able to write such a warning couplet.

After passing through this mountain gate, about 500 meters ahead, the mountain road divides into branches, the mountain road to the left is wide, and the mountain road to the right is slightly narrow.

"This is the way to the back mountain."

The team went to the right, and as soon as they turned the mountain beam, a towering Buddha came into everyone's eyes!

It's half a body taller than the ancient tree!

At this moment, the morning sun is rising, and the golden sunlight is sprinkled on the golden body of the Buddha, and it exudes a brilliant light, just against the background of the blue sky, as if the back of the Buddha really has a colorful holy light!

"Isn't it big?"

Fu Xiaoguan nodded, "It's really big!" ”

"It is said that it took eight years to sculpt this Buddha alone. Emperor Wen's courage, I don't know how much silver it will cost. ”

After walking another stick of incense, everyone came to the foot of the Big Buddha, which was a huge square, and the marble floor was clean and smooth. Underneath the Buddha is a high platform that seems to be a place of worship.

And behind the Big Buddha, there is the heavenly lake where the mist rises.

Fu Xiaoguan looked around, and there were many buildings built around the square, not like temples, but quite similar to the buildings in Jinling.

I think those buildings are the living houses of the students of this cultural meeting.

Sure enough, when everyone arrived at the square, there were officials from the Hall of Auditory Hall and the Hanlin Academy to arrange the accommodation of these students.

The official who walked towards Fu Xiaoguan was Wen Canghai, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy!

"At the behest of Lord Zhou, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, I will take you to another place."

In Fan Tianning's astonished sight, Fu Xiaoguan and his entourage left the square with Wen Canghai, but instead of going to the temple in front of the mountain, they walked into the mountains and forests on the left.

There is a quiet path here, and the forest is passed through again, so it is farther and farther away from the big Buddha, and after about three incense sticks, Wen Canghai stopped.

Fu Xiaoguan saw a beautiful business!

It is located next to the Tianhu Lake, and there are no ancient pine trees around, but there is a pear orchard in full bloom!

They walked to the front gate of this other industry, and when they looked up, they saw the lintel on the vermilion door, Fu Xiaoguan was suddenly startled, and the lintel was shocked: Yunqing Courtyard has four golden characters!

Wen Canghai saw Fu Xiaoguan's expression and said with a smile: "It has been five years since this courtyard was built, and His Majesty will come here every year when the pear blossoms are blooming. The environment here is quiet, and there are thirty palace maids in it, and everything is ready...... It's just that Lord Zhou gave an order, saying that it was His Majesty's meaning - if you have time, can you pick some pear blossoms and bring them back to make a pot of tea for Your Majesty? ”
