Chapter 289: Calm (I)
Wu'an County said that it was not big, it was not small, and he had been here for more than a year, and Li Xun rarely walked around and knew some places, but he had never been there.
There are not many interesting places in Wu'an County, and there is nothing fun, but there is a place where many people often go on weekdays, that is, Bailing Temple on Lingtai Mountain in Wu'an County, I heard that there is a monk in the temple, Buddhism is strong, can cross the catastrophe, and is divine, but Li Xun does not believe it very much, seeing is believing, hearing is false, if you haven't seen it, don't believe it easily.
Lingtai Mountain is about 30 miles away from Wu'an County, Li Xun is in a good mood, so he pulled Ouyang Li and Jiang Daxiong, and rode a horse towards Bailing Temple, the situation in Wuzhou is now very stable, and the number of people who worship Buddha on the mountain has begun to increase.
After walking for more than an hour, Li Xun and others finally came to Bailing Temple, Bailing Temple is not big, composed of more than 30 houses, most of the houses are dilapidated and disorderly, a gust of wind blows, and the houses are gurgling, as if they may fall at any time.
Jiang Daxiong, who was standing next to him, said a little strangely: "There are a lot of people who come to incense!" It is said that the income in the temple should be good, right, how can it be so messy? ”
Li Xun smiled slightly and said: "War is impermanent, born in troubled times, it is already very good to be alive, eating and dressing well is a dream thing, where is there extra money and food to offer to the temple?" ”
Ouyang Li said softly: "What the lord said is that the troubled times are impermanent, it is good to be alive, my family was very poor when I was a child, and I often couldn't eat, so I often went up the mountain to steal food, offerings, wild vegetables, as long as I could eat it, some monks in the temple were actually very good, I was often caught by them, but they never beat me, patiently persuaded me, and sometimes sent me some food." ”
Li Xun nodded and said with a smile: "Let's go in!" It's the first time I've been to this kind of place! After speaking, Li Xun got up and entered the temple.
Entering the Bailing Temple, at a glance I saw a copper cylinder with a length and width of several meters is placed in the middle of the square, there is a house not far from the direction of the east, people come and go, people keep coming out of the room, they walked to the copper cylinder in the middle of the square, first knelt down and bowed a few times, muttering words in the mouth, maybe praying for something! Then he inserted the incense in his hand into the soil in the copper jar and left.
The incense of the temple is very prosperous, the house in front of the copper jar is crowded with people, and those who can't get in have to stand outside and wait in line, Li Xun looked over there, and walked towards the house with some curiosity, the door was crowded with people, Li Xun couldn't get in at all, Ouyang got closer and said: "Lord, there are too many people, it's better for me and Daxiong to drive them away!" With so many people, when will the queue have to wait? ”
Li Xun shook his head and said, "Forget it, I never believed in these things, I came here just to distract myself, since we can't get in, then let's go around and go back!" ”
Ouyang Li nodded, knowing Li Xun's character, he didn't speak.
At this time, a monk in his fifties walked out of the house, and Li Xun stretched out his hand to stop him, "Master, please stay!" ”
The monk looked at Li Xun, bowed his hand and said, "Amitabha, is there something wrong with the donor?" ”
Li Xun also bowed his hand, took out a piece of gold about the size of a thumb from his arms, handed it to the monk and said: "In Xia Li Xun, I accompanied my friends up the mountain to play today, and I traveled dozens of miles, and my body was a little tired, can I ask the master to make it convenient and borrow a room for me to rest for a while?" ”
"I see, there are a lot of vacant rooms in this temple, but some are dilapidated, if the donor doesn't dislike it, come with the poor monks!"
The monk nodded, took the gold, and suddenly had joy on his face, after the Dashi Empire occupied Wuzhou, because it had its own religious beliefs, the persecution of Buddhism was very serious, and the Bailing Temple was able to survive, but it was a lot of payouts, even so, over the years, there were fewer and fewer people who came to incense, and even fewer people were generous, until last year, Wuzhou returned to the Jin Dynasty, a large number of Han people migrated to Wuzhou, Tianlan Sect was suppressed, and the incense of Bailing Temple slowly improved.
Li Xun smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's rest for a while and leave, the master doesn't have to worry." ”
"In that case, donors, please come with me!"
Although the room is dilapidated, but the facilities are quite clean, the sound of chanting Buddha keeps ringing around, and I don't know which monk is nearby to Dao Buddha, the monk took Li Xun and others to a house, asked someone to send a big pot of tea, and some pastries, and then left by himself, but then, another young monk arrived, waiting on the side, it seems that no matter where he goes, having money is different.
The road up the mountain is not easy, Li Xun has just recovered from his illness, his physical strength is not very good, and he is really tired all the way.
Li Xun sat on the soft collapse with his buttocks, picked up the big teapot on the table and drank it directly, the tea was cool, obviously cold, after a few big mouthfuls, Li Xun only felt refreshed, and the tiredness of his body was also swept away, and he couldn't help but scream a few times!!
Ouyang Li sat on the side, silently drinking tea, while Jiang Daxiong grabbed the pastries on the table and ate them in a big gulp.
Li Xun said with a smile: "This temple is a little broken, but the tea is good, and I will ask the monks in the temple for advice when I have the opportunity later." ”
The young monk standing on the side chuckled: "The incense master doesn't know, this tea name is Qingling, it is a unique specialty of our Bailing Temple, the seeds are brought back by Huiqing Zen Master from the northernmost place of the Dashi Empire, there are many such teas on the mountain, if the incense master wants, the poor monk can collect some and give it to the incense master." ”
Li Xun sighed, nodded, and said: "If it is convenient, the master can call a few more people to help, try to get more back, this tea, I like it very much, of course, I will not ask for your things in vain, the price is easy to say." ”
The two talked for a while.
Li Xun turned his head and saw Ouyang Lizheng listening to something with a confused face, so he asked out loud, "What's wrong?" ”
Ouyang Li frowned and said, "Lord, have you heard the voice of the Buddha?" ”
Li Xun scolded with a smile: "This is where the monk lives, of course there will be the sound of chanting Buddha, what's the fuss about?" ”
Ouyang Li shook his head and said, "The main guild is wrong about what I mean, this monk's Buddhist language is a bit strange, it doesn't seem to be the language of my Jin Dynasty." ”
Li Xun was stunned when he heard this, and listened carefully, the voice was annoying and strange, not the language of the Han people, nor the language of Dashi or the Western Regions, this kind of language, Li Xun also heard it for the first time. 2k reading web
