Chapter 108: The Temple of Great Mercy and Grace
Finally turning from the main street to the north and south streets between Gudefang and Liquanfang, a few people finally breathed a sigh of relief, although there are many pedestrians on this street, it can't be compared with the main streets such as Suzaku Street.
Liu Fan was still looking around at the tall buildings on both sides of the street, only to hear Li Min shouting beside him, "Hey, what's the daze, your family Ling Han shouted to you and couldn't hear it twice......"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, as soon as Liu Fan turned around, he found that he had walked in front of a high-ranking family, Ling Han stood in front of the door with a smile, waiting for Liu Fan to reply."
Unexpectedly, before Liu Fan could speak, the little girl in Ling Han's hand had already asked softly, "Auntie, are they talking about you, why are you from their family?" Daddy told me yesterday that my aunt is the pride of our family and the most knowledgeable, Qian'er knows that my aunt is our family, do they want to rob my aunt? ”
Li Min immediately stuck out his tongue and muttered, "Oops, this is a big deal." ”
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Liu Fan was still a little anxious, and immediately leaned down and grabbed the little girl's hand and said, "Are you a Qian'er girl, you are more beautiful than Aunt Ling Han, and you must be more educated than your aunt when you grow up, we are not snatching your aunt, but rushing to let him be a teacher for the two of us, and when Qian'er grows up, there will definitely be many people rushing to let you be a teacher for them." ”
This is just a very common method of confusing concepts in the defence, but it should be enough to deceive the little girl.
Sure enough, the little girl thought about it before saying, "Oh, I also have to study hard, and when I grow up, I must be as good as my aunt." ”
"That's right, besides, you can't tell your parents what you said today, they are not as good as your aunt in learning, and it will be even more sad to hear that someone is going to rush your aunt to be a teacher for them."
The little girl nodded solemnly and said, "I won't tell my father, but when I grow up, I will only be a teacher for students like this aunt, and I don't want to be a teacher for you?" As he spoke, he pointed his little finger at Li Min and said.
"Why?" Liu Fanqi said.
"You're not good-looking."
"Holy!" Liu Fan touched his face and said, "Why did you get hit today?" ”
"What, no more confidence?" Ling Han's eyes were half comforting, half playfully asked.
This look seemed to tell Liu Fan, "It's okay, no matter what, Fan Zheng already has someone who wants you." ”
Liu Fan stood up, took advantage of the little girl Qian'er's inattention, and glared at Ling Han fiercely, provoking Ling Han and Li Min to laugh for a long time.
When Liu Fan and Li Min entered the mansion to meet Ling Han's mother, Mrs. Guo, and under Mrs. Guo's inquiry, they told in detail about the ambush on the way, and then walked out under the repeated thanks of the other party, and Ling Han's brother went out today because of something important, but asked Ling Han to send a message to invite Liu Fan, Li Min and others to come to the house for another day.
Daci'en Temple is located in the southeast corner of Chang'an City Jinchangfang, from Yining Fang to Jinchangfang almost across most of the city, plus the road congestion from time to time along the way, when a group of people come to the majestic temple gate, the hour is already the beginning of the hour.
In addition to the big wild goose pagoda built with blue bricks, Liu Fan couldn't find a trace of similar feeling with Xi'an Daci'en Temple in his memory, no, even the well-known big wild goose pagoda at home and abroad seems to be a little different from the memory, Liu Fan left two women, and circled the base of the tower for more than half a moment, only to finally find that this tower is not the tower in his memory at all, he and his colleagues went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda when they were on a business trip in Xi'an, and clearly remembered that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a seven-story tower, and now the tower body has nine floors, It seems that this tower has long disappeared in the long river of history, and the tower after a thousand years must have been rebuilt later.
In addition, the Great Mercy and Grace Temple in front of you looks several times larger than the Great Mercy and Grace Temple in memory, the whole temple has a total of thirteen courtyards, the area actually occupies half of the Jinchang Fang, the temple is crowded, shoulder to shoulder, after Ling Han and Li Min introduced, this situation has to continue until after the Shangyuan Festival.
The pilgrims in front of the Daxiong Hall are even more crowded, and the huge incense burner is burning with all kinds of spices put in by the pilgrims, and the curling green smoke forms a huge black cloud pillar above the temple.
In the Daxiong Treasure Hall to enter the incense and bow to the order maintained by a few small novices, join the long queue of troops, no one here knows Liu Duwei and Li Duwei two generals, and Liu Fan left a few guards and vehicles and horses outside the temple, only let Shoujing follow the three into the temple together, the four of them dressed in ordinary clothes and followed the long dragon in the same line as slowly lined up to enter the incense, Fan Zheng went back today and there was nothing to do, watching the ancient buildings was just a lame excuse that Liu Fan temporarily found.
But this kind of boring waiting is the most difficult, there is no way, the matter of relieving the boredom of others naturally falls on Liu Fan's head.
Since standing here in line, Liu Fan has told the three of them about the Dream of Red Mansions, the first of the four famous novels, and he knows that Dream of Red Mansions is the killer of girls in the boudoir, and almost no girls in the middle and high school stages of later generations have not read this masterpiece.
Kankan talked for half an hour, and he had finished the first five times, and the next time was "Jia Baoyu's First Trial of Cloud and Rain, Grandma Liu's Entry into Rongguo Mansion", Liu Fan felt that this chapter was not good and continued to tell, and it was past noon, Liu Fan only felt that his mouth was dry, and he wanted to end hastily with a sentence of "I am here for the time being, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition", but the two ladies did not relent, "Brother Liu, you see that there are at least sixty or seventy people in front of this line, and it is more than enough to talk about the last two times." ”
"Han'er, let's go out to eat first, and then come to the incense when we are full of food and drink, I guess there will be no one at that time." Liu Fan said in a low voice.
"Liu Fan, look at the side, it's not just the three of us listening to your story, are you able to go at this time? Besides, it has been lined up for so long, and there are those who give up halfway, and the incense to the Buddha is precious to a piece of sincerity, and sincerity is spiritual. Li Min said.
Only then did Liu Fan notice that because he was too involved in what he was talking about, and he kept facing Ling Han and Li Min, he didn't notice that in this three-way line, there were more than a dozen people listening with their ears in front of him.
Seeing that everyone always paid attention to him, and there was an old woman who looked like Rong Mama in the bead grid and threw a beam of affectionate gaze at him, Liu Fan instantly felt a layer of goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze to Ling Han and Li Min.
It seems that I have to talk about it once or twice today, otherwise it will definitely cause public anger, so I have to skip the part of Baoyu's dream and the attack on Yunyu, and only talk about Grandma Liu's entry into the Grand View Garden.
As soon as he finished speaking, an old monk with white hair came to Liu Fan and the three of them under the guidance of a little novice, folded his hands, and said respectfully, "Dare to ask a few donors, but Liu Shizhu and his party from Liangzhou?" ”
"Exactly, may I ask what this master commands?" Liu Fan replied, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart, "It seems that the Buddha didn't want me to talk about it anymore, so he sent this high monk to invite us to tea." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, Lao Na is the supervisor of this temple, and I sincerely follow the decree of the abbot of our hospital, and I specially invite the four donors to the back hall to talk."
"This master, how did you know that we came from Liangzhou?" Li Minqi said.
"The four donors don't need to ask, they will know as soon as they arrive in the back hall."
"Master, we haven't made incense in this Daxiong Treasure Hall yet, and we will go over after we have finished worshiping the Buddha and Bodhisattva?" Ling Han saluted respectfully beside him.
"Oh, Lao Na will guide the four of them to the main hall to worship the Buddha."
Liu Fan complained in his heart, "This girl is too sincere, after drinking fragrant tea and eating fasting, wouldn't it be better to go to worship the Buddha with a heart under the leadership of this master, so anxious?" ”
Seeing that the four of them were leaving, the people listening to the story around them all let out a complaining voice, and a fat man who looked like a rich man hurriedly said, "This brother, dare to ask you which hook fence you are listing in, I will rush over tomorrow to ......"
"In Liangzhou, the Goolan Courtyard in Liangzhou, I said okay, this brother must go!"
The group walked a long way, and they saw the fat man with his mouth wide open in amazement.
Under the leadership of the temple supervisor, the four Shi Shiran crossed the bustling crowd and calmly entered the incense to worship the Buddha, Ling Han and Li Min made a wish in front of the Buddha, and several small novices were even more diligent after running, it seems that the truth is the same throughout the ages, and even in the temple, these worldly winds are inevitable.
