Chapter 264: It's Really You

As one of the two famous temples in Hangzhou, even in the early morning, Lingyin Temple also has the figure of visitors pilgrims, from time to time you can hear bursts of monks Sanskrit, and the sound of pilgrims praying, although there are nine floors, eighteen pavilions, seventy-two halls in the temple, but the largest scale is the number of Daxiong Treasure Palace.

The main hall is a single-storey three-fold heavy eaves building, the momentum is saga, very majestic, in the middle is a lotus statue of Sakyamuni more than ten zhang high, the statue is wonderful and solemn, the rhyme is vivid, the head of the chin looks down, it makes people admire, the two sides are the standing statues of the twenty heavens, and the two sides behind the hall are the twelve round jue sitting statues.

The back wall of the main hall has the three-dimensional group sculpture of Cihang Pudu, there are more than 100 Buddha statues, the standing statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the middle, holding a water purification bottle, Pudu sentient beings, the lower plastic good wealth boy and its worship Guanyin story, the two sides of Guanyin are the disciples of good wealth and the dragon girl, the shape is vivid, lifelike, unexpected, it can be seen that it is carefully carved.

In the Lingyin Temple, the pilgrims worship the most is Guanyin Bodhisattva, although there are many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the temple, but Guanyin Bodhisattva is the most admired by the world, sometimes, people's admiration for Guanyin Bodhisattva even exceeds the admiration for the Buddha, after all, relative to the Buddha who preaches compassion all day long, but it is not as good as the Guanyin who saves the suffering and saves the suffering, you must know that you can recite the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva wholeheartedly, you can meet the wishes of those who pray for children, keep all beings away from troubles, and even be exempted from fire, water, wind, knife, ghost, prisoner, Thieves and other calamities and misfortunes.

In short, devoutly adhering to the holy name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva can bless the supplicant with his compassion, wisdom, and bravery, that is, he will be liberated from misfortune.

Under the guidance of the middle-aged monks, Su Yuexiang and Bai Jinyu came to an elegant and quiet meditation room, after all, they are female dependents, and they can't worship the Buddha in front of the public.

Incense, is not directly the incense candle "inserted" into the incense burner so simple, has its own set of cumbersome etiquette, especially when the female pilgrim prays, the most taboo is that there are people next to them, so after inviting people into the meditation room, the middle-aged monk is very interested in retiring, when the door is closed, he can't help but wipe his shiny head, his heart is secretly relieved, reciting a few words of Amitabha, the beauty is just a passing cloud, finally returned to the usual heart, and then slowly left.

The Zen room is empty, a bed and a few chairs, the furnishings are very simple, there is a portrait of Guanyin hanging on the front wall, the willow leaves are thin eyebrows, the phoenix eyes are half-closed, subtle and deep, the nose is beautiful, the cherry mouth is tightly closed, the corners of the mouth are upturned with a smile, the performance is gentle and kind, the posture is slightly curved, beautiful and quiet, showing a noble temperament, the clothes are gorgeous and close, the clothes are undulating, showing the texture of silk, the portrait technique is obedient, it should be from the handwriting of a famous artist.

At the same time, the handsome young man under the mountain also entered the temple, came to the palace of the heavenly king, but saw that the Buddha shrine facing the mountain gate in the hall enshrined a statue of Maitreya Buddha, with his chest and abdomen exposed, sitting on a futon, smiling, next to him is the statue of the protector god Wei Dao, wearing a golden helmet, wrapped in armor, full of energy, on both sides are the four heavenly kings colored statues, two of which are mighty in form, two gods "color" and kind, although the form is different, but there is a taste of not angry and mighty.

Looking at the splendid appearance in the palace of the Heavenly King, the handsome young man secretly thought in his heart, no wonder when the drought came, Fan Zhongyan wanted to encourage the temples in Hangzhou City to preside over the construction of a large number of buildings, recruit craftsmen, and repair temples, it is really because these temples are not short of money, if it is about assets, I am afraid that even the rich families in the city are not as good as them, do not look for them to find anyone.

"Changgui, what do you think of this Lingyin Temple, how does it compare to the Great Xiangguo Temple in Bianjing?" Walking out of the Tianwang Palace, waved away the following of the welcoming monk, the handsome young man smiled and asked, no need to say it explicitly, this young man is naturally Chu Qian, after the end of the West Lake event, he did not have to be idle, and today he received instructions from his superiors to inspect the construction of the temple in Hangzhou.

Some time ago, Fan Zhongyan visited the presiding abbot of various monasteries in Hangzhou, talked with them about the past and the present, and discussed Buddhist thoughts, and did not forget to give them advice, pointing out that it is now a season of famine, and the wages are very cheap, and those who want to repair the monasteries do not look for opportunities to wait for when.

A group of presiding abbots felt very reasonable, and they were very grateful to Fan Gong for his guidance, and after they went back, they recruited craftsmen one after another, planning to renovate the temple, or expand a few more attic meditation rooms.

Hearing Chu Qian's inquiry, Changgui replied honestly: "The scenery is better than Xiangguo Temple, but the road is farther, and it is a little tiring to walk, and it is not as lively as Xiangguo Temple." ”

"That's nature, Lingyin Temple is built in the mountains, and Xiangguo Temple is in the downtown area, and pedestrians can enter the temple at any time, of course, it is more lively than the temple in the mountains." Chu Zhen said with a smile, and walked straight to the temple along the corridor, along the way, he only heard the sound of the monk chanting, but he didn't hear the movement of the craftsman renovating the temple, and he should really ask the little monk who welcomed the guests just now.

Walking in the temple for a while, almost the Lingyin Temple walked around, the monk pilgrims met a lot, and the landscape in the temple is not bad, but he is not here to enjoy, remember the business, Chu Zhi stopped, there are some doubts in his heart, can it be said that the Lingyin Temple did not build a temple, just in the perfunctory official office.

After thinking about it, Chu Zhen wanted to find a monk to inquire, but this place seemed to be relatively remote, it was a long corridor connecting several halls, and after waiting for a while, there were no monk pilgrims passing by, blinking his eyes, Chu Zhen felt that ordinary monk pilgrims might not know the specific situation, so he simply decided to go to the host of the temple to ask for an understanding.

Where is the meditation room of ordinary monks, Chu Zhen may not know, but the presiding elder of the temple must live next to the Daxiong Treasure Hall in the center, the goal is very clear, and he has also passed by just now, discerning the direction, Chu Zhen did not hesitate, walked forward directly, and came to the destination after a while.

In the end, it is an ancient temple, well versed in hospitality, seeing that Chu Zhen did not burn incense to worship the Buddha, but wandered near the main hall, as if looking for something, immediately a monk came over, saluted with his palms, and said politely: "Dare to ask the donor why he came, I don't know if the little monk can help." ”

"May I ask the little master, where is your host, this is the magistrate of Qiantang County, I am looking for you to host something to inquire." Under Chu Qian's signal, Changgui raised his voice slightly.

Zhixian, the monk was slightly shocked, and then restored calm, Hangzhou Buddhism flourished, and those officials and gentry did not come to the temple to participate in the Buddha and incense, and it was not strange to see more, and the monks in the temple were accustomed to it.

"The two donors, it is really unfortunate that they hosted a visit yesterday at the invitation of a friend, and they have not returned yet." After reciting the Buddha's name, the monk saluted with a bit of respect and said: "But I don't know what the donor has, if it can't be delayed, although the little monk can't be the master, but he can also go to report to the elders of the temple to know." ”

"It's not a hurry, but it would be great if I could talk to the elder of the temple." Chu Zhen said with a smile, whether it is the presiding officer or the elder of the supervising temple, he is the decision-maker of the temple anyway, he must be an insider, and he can find anyone.

"Please ask the donor to stay in the meditation room for a while, and the little monk will go and report." The monk saluted slightly, pushed open the door next to him, respectfully invited, and did not wait for Chu Zhen to enter, immediately turned around and walked out of the hall, the figure disappeared in the distance, Chu Zhen smiled indifferently, and did not mind the monk's unintentional rudeness, so he wanted to enter the meditation room, but he heard a creak, but the door next to him opened.

Chu Zhen's subconscious eyes were slightly raised, and a beautiful face came into view, the curved willow eyebrows, a pair of seductive phoenix eyes, a head like a cloud of hair loosely draped on the fragrant shoulders, a straight chest and a "hip", a round curve, a look like a begonia Zixiao "dew", and a waist like a willow curling in the east wind, but she is a beautiful woman who shows off her "color" and is absolutely "beautiful".

After seeing each other's appearance clearly, both of them were ahh ”

It was indeed an accident, but there was no surprise, Su Yuexiang was about to close the door subconsciously, but she heard Bai Jinyu's voice next to her: "Auntie, who is outside." ”

It was too late for Su Yuexiang to stop it, and suddenly heard the ringing of the ring, the bamboo curtain shook for a while, Bai Jinyu had already walked out, at first hearing this familiar voice, Chu Zhen's body shook, and the heart seemed to stop beating all of a sudden, and Bai Jinyu also saw the familiar face outside the door, and couldn't believe his eyes, and couldn't help but stretch out his slender hand to "rub" and "rub", and found that the person was still there, and his delicate appearance was very cute.

Chu Zhen chuckled, holding back the joy in his heart, Chenjiao burst out with a warm smile, and said softly: "Little lady, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm?" ”

"Ah, it's really you." Bai Jinyu was a little incredulous, and muttered: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, it's really a miracle, help me realize my wish so quickly." Realizing what she had said, Bai Jinyu lowered her head shyly, then raised it again, her eyes looked at Chu Qian, her cheeks were thin, her skin was shining, and she was even more charming and moving.

Seeing the two of them looking at each other from afar, Su Yuexiang coughed lightly, a bright smile appeared on her cherry lips, and there was obvious hypocrisy and closeness in her tone, as if there was still a trace of suspicion, and said: "It turned out to be Gongzi Chu, I can even meet you here, it's really a coincidence." ”
