Panlong Temple is located on the top of Panlong Mountain in the southeast corner of Emperor East.

It is said to be a mountain, but in fact it is a small hill, and the terrain is undulating, and from a distance, it looks like something is dormant here.

When the people of Dijing named the mountains and rivers, they liked to set off the spirit of the Son of Heaven in Dijing, which was called Panlong Mountain.

Later, a high monk from Tianzhu came to the imperial capital to give a lecture, and the saint at that time felt that the Xiangguo Temple outside the city was too far away, so he built a temple in Panlong Mountain for his practice.

It is also called Xiaoxiangguo Temple in Panlong Mountain.

After the monk passed away, he built the stupa here, miraculously, there were two Bodhi trees growing next to the stupa, the two trees grew and grew with the trunk to grow together, the world said that this is the branch of Lianli, and you can find a good fate by making a wish under the tree.

Over time, unmarried men and women in Beijing love to come to this Panlong Temple to seek marriage.

After we got off the car, we saw a noisy scene of traffic, along the steps up the steps, the people who came to the incense were endless, there were also novices who had words in their mouths hurriedly passed, they went to the mountain gate, and then they saw a gilded big incense burner standing between heaven and earth, at this time the incense was swirling, the good men and women had put their hands together, raised their chests, foreheads, and heads, and then pounced on the ground, perhaps there were too many worshippers, and many of the stone slabs in front of the incense burner were sunken.

I can't help but think of the second brother's emotion: "If everyone can recognize Luoying Colorful Pavilion like the Buddha, am I still worried that I won't be able to make money?" ”

Seeing Sun Shengnan, sister-in-law and Xu Rongchan beside them, they looked solemn, and felt that their thoughts were dirty, and they were busy reciting a few words of Amitabha.

At first, the people were not so enthusiastic about Buddhism.

Hundreds of years ago, when it was transmitted from Tianzhu to the Central Plains, the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty even tried their best to suppress it.

I heard that it is because most of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty believed in Taoism, and Taoism emphasizes the cultivation of this life, that is, to concentrate on cultivation and reach a certain level; In this life, you will be able to become an immortal, and Buddhism mainly emphasizes the cultivation of the next life, that is, to make good karma, and when you die, you will be able to reincarnate as a human being in the next life, and if you do enough good deeds, you can also become a human being.

What kind of world is after death, no one has ever seen it, no one knows if they can reincarnate a good fetus, and if they don't practice well in this life, maybe they will be able to ascend to heaven and rank in the immortal class, so it seems that the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty is still quite pragmatic.

Since ancient times, the legend of cultivating immortals has been fascinating, and there are many fans, if the largest group is the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty.

In the last years of the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor was obsessed with cultivating and refining pills, to the point of outrageousness. But anyone who offers pills can get a heavy reward, and there are not a few scoundrels in the market who have climbed to the sky in one step.

For a time, the Zhou Dynasty went up to the princes and nobles to the common people, but everyone who had some family background had to buy an alchemy furnace to cultivate the pill day and night, hoping to refine a good pill and present it to the emperor, so that one person could ascend to heaven.

I don't know who spread the rumor, saying that the rarer the alchemy medicinal materials, the better, the best is a prime-aged tiger bone, a hundred-year-old black bear's paw, a hundred-year-old giant snake gall or a thousand-year-old fox tail, etc., during that time, the wild animals in the mountains were restless day and night, and even went out to forage for food had to experience countless times of life and death.

In addition, the heat of the Dan furnace must be mastered in place, ordinary people have not been able to master the core technology, and countless people have been killed and injured.

If the emperor of a country and the people do not live a good life, thinking about how to ascend to immortality every day, then the whole country is not far from ascending to immortality.

The royal nobles of the imperial capital were immersed in the sweet dream of cultivating and refining pills, and the cool officials outside the imperial capital were rampant in the countryside, starving all over the wilderness, and the people were not able to make a living.

Taizu Di'an, as a victim of cultivating immortals, took his younger brother, the ancestor of my You family, to revolt.

I estimate that Emperor Taizu also wanted to solve the problem of food and clothing at the beginning of the uprising, but he didn't expect to become bigger and stronger or even become an emperor.

The defenders of the Zhou Dynasty didn't know if it was the elixir that had eaten a bad stomach or if they had had enough of the rule of the brainless emperor, they fought all the way to the imperial capital, and there were very few resistors, basically they all went through the motions to fight, and then surrendered and opened the door to welcome the true dragon emperor.

Until the yellow robe was added and the courtiers shouted long live, Emperor Taizu's mind was confused.

According to historical records, when Emperor Taizu and the ancestors of my You family fought to the imperial capital to capture the palace, the last emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was still guarding his alchemy furnace, and when he saw Emperor Taizu's army entering the Mingxin Palace, he hurriedly presented the edict of the Zen throne, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, begging Emperor Taizu to give him three more hours.

There are still three hours for the elixir to be refined, and if he obeys it, he can turn into an immortal and go, away from the red world, and this throne is naturally Emperor Taizu's.

Emperor Taizu had already won at that time, so he and all the soldiers put up a shelf in the Mingxin Palace, and waited for the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty to become an immortal while barbecuing meat and drinking.

Three hours later, only a loud noise was heard, the alchemy furnace was opened, and the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was overjoyed, and he changed his humble posture and said to Emperor Taizu: "If the elixir is refined, I will gain divine power, and I will get rid of the thieves." ”

After that, he swallowed the golden pill like his belly, and Emperor Taizu and the soldiers looked forward to it for a long time, waiting for the flowers to thank them, and did not wait for the revenge of the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.

The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was unwilling, and swallowed all the gold pills he had refined into his stomach, and bled to death.

Emperor Taizu was disappointed, originally thinking that he could witness the birth of an immortal, but only witnessed the fall of a dynasty.

It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

Xu is Emperor Taizu's throne came too smoothly, and many people were not convinced, especially some people who rebelled at the same time as him couldn't figure it out: You are also self-made, why did you become the emperor vigorously?

All localities began to set themselves up as the first emperor to please Emperor Taizu, and some people even played the banner of "drive away An Dali, and I will also be the emperor".

Emperor Taizu was furious and immediately made four decisions.

The first is to set the country name as Jing Lang, and the country name of other dynasties is usually one word, and Jing Lang is two words, which is more culturally literate, unique and fresh;

the second is to change the name to An Wanjun, An Dali is too popular, and when the two armies fight and scold, it will cause laughter, which is not solemn and serious, and of course it does not match its imperial temperament;

The third is to crusade against the rebels, Emperor Taizu holds the edict of the last emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and the throne is justified, aren't the other rebels rebels? Blame them for not being lucky enough to take the palace first;

Fourth, we should vigorously develop Buddhism.

Emperor Taizu did not suppress Taoism like the Zhou Dynasty suppressed Buddhism, and the direct reason for the fall of the Zhou Dynasty was the inaction of the rulers, and it was ridiculous to blame Taoism, but Emperor Taizu saw the power of faith and felt that if he wanted to manage the country well, he must manage the faith of the people.

Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in addition to the promotion and development of local Taoism, Buddhism was also respected, and gradually grew to compete with Taoism, and now it is deeply popular with the people.

In fact, in my opinion, no matter what kind of teaching, it is to teach people to be good, to follow the right path, and to accumulate merits.

Even if a person who does not believe in any religion can do this, he will win the respect of the world and bless future generations.

My father always taught us to do good deeds and not ask about the future.

Sun Shengnan was conquered by my high-minded talk, and his eyes were full of admiration: "Master Hou also believes in Buddhism? ”

Forehead...... So the person you worship is Daddy?

"Daddy believes in everything, and Buddhism, Taoism, and Tantra do not refuse." But whenever you see a temple dedicated to immortals, you have to worship him regardless of his sect or father.

Sun Shengnan said: "Hou Ye is really fratern......

I was also very confused for a while, my father said that he killed too many people, and those people would go to the gods and Buddhas they believed in to sue him after they died.

Every time the temple in Biluo City organizes an activity to donate incense money, he will be the first to find his father, because he is very generous, like a boy who scatters money.

Sun Shengnan continued to worship his father endlessly: "Hey, Hou Ye is simply too worried, a general like him, the evil aura on his body can be felt ten miles away, it is a god-like existence, and he also worships the Buddha, and the gods and Buddhas are afraid when they see him." ”

What is the ...... Are you praising Daddy? How did I hear it so awkwardly?

The sister-in-law also sensed that something was wrong, and said with a stiff face: "Killing God? Where did Ms. Sun hear this? ”

Sun Shengnan said: "Dad told me, the court said that Hou Ye Rongma had a lifetime of outstanding meritorious service and great military achievements, which was the killing god of Jing Lang and the well-being of the people. ”

My sister-in-law and I glanced at each other, and we both felt the other's uneasiness: these remarks are obviously praising my father, but in fact, they are hinting to the saint that my father is a master, and which emperor is willing to hear that his courtiers are canonized?!

Someone in the court wants to kill Daddy!

If the rebellion in southern Xinjiang is defeated, there is no doubt that my father will be punished; If he wins, Daddy's situation will be even more dangerous!

I know my father's temperament best, even if he dies in battle, he will never be defeated!

After careful calculation, my father has been gone for almost two months, and I have not received a letter in two months, and the situation of the war in southern Xinjiang is all learned from other people. I don't know if my father didn't write it or was intercepted, but the front line is tight, so my father will not write some brainless excerpts to the saint, but will send them to the imperial capital in the form of a war report for 800 miles, and it is impossible to write a letter to my family.

Now it seems that no news is the best news.

I stepped into the Mahavira Hall with a sigh of relief, the golden-bodied Buddha seemed to be smiling, looking at me compassionately, I folded my hands, knelt down and said silently:

"The believer You Zimo, pray for the Buddha to bless her father You Yi, win the battle, and be safe at the age of 100."
