Volume 3 Chaos Chang'an Chapter 142 Gloomy Xinping Temple
Near the top of the mountain, the Xinping Temple in the clouds and mist is already close in front of you, and the monks have already lined up outside the temple to greet the holy car. There are quite a lot of monks in this Xinping Temple, and there are a bald head in the bright hall, and it is estimated that there are at least three digits.
"Amitabha, more than 150 monks of Xinping Temple are here to welcome Your Majesty Luanjia, long live my emperor, long live long live."
Emperor Qin nodded with satisfaction: "Excuse yourself from being polite, which one is the host of this party?" ”
A fat monk with a fat brain came out and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk surpasses, and he is the head of the class of Xinping Temple." The presiding officer is the senior brother of the poor monk who is detached, and the detached senior brother is sick in bed and cannot come to see the driver, hoping that His Majesty will forgive his sins. ”
At such moments, Emperor Qin often expresses his true character as a saint to the extreme: "It doesn't matter, here, the monks are the masters, and I am the guests, how can there be a reason for the master to meet the guests." In the future, I will come here again, and send a monk to lead the way, and there is no need to work to greet the people. ”
The monks shouted in unison: "Amitabha, Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
Beyond the monk said: "The feast has been prepared, and the guest house has been tidied up, just waiting for Your Majesty to stop!" ”
The monks all said, "Please enter the temple!" ”
Words and deeds are uniform, it is obvious that they have been rehearsed in advance, and it seems that Xinping Temple has also worked hard in advance in order to welcome the holy driver.
At this moment, the sun has turned west, and the dignified Emperor Qin naturally has no reason to worship the Buddha at night. You can only eat a meal and feast in this Xinping Temple, stay for a night, and return to Chang'an after the Buddha is completed tomorrow.
"Xinheiji has a heart." Emperor Qin left a word of praise, and walked into Xinping Temple surrounded by monks.
The monks didn't know what to say to Emperor Qin, and Emperor Qin explained a few words, and Eunuch Zhang turned around and said: "Your Majesty's dictation, all the nobles will follow me into the temple, and the attendants of the nobles and the nobles will all camp outside the Xinping Temple. ”
"No!"
The armed squad answered in unison and began to prepare to set up camp.
It turned out that the guest house in the temple was limited, and it was enough to supply His Majesty's family and the children of the nobles. However, there were nearly 100 attendants brought by the sons and daughters of various noble families, plus 200 armed classes, so these people did not have enough guest houses, so they could only camp outside the temple.
Fortunately, Xinping Temple is not big, if there is a mutation, even if the armed squad is camped outside the temple, it can also enter the temple at any time to defend the Qin Emperor.
"Uncle Shi, General Lei, you must be more vigilant when you are outside. Once you find something wrong, don't hesitate to enter the temple immediately! ”
Before Pei Sheng Qin entered the temple, he was still explaining to Shi Yue and Lei viciously. He didn't expect that Shi Yue and Lei Evil Land, which he specially brought, would not have a chance to follow him into the temple, and he could only camp outside the temple with his weapons. As a result, the master who remained by His Majesty's side after entering the temple was the only one left, the eldest brother Yang Ding. What's more, the eldest brother is still a little unreliable, and he is still fighting wits and courage with his sisters-in-law at this time, and it is estimated that he does not have much energy to pay attention to the situation around His Majesty at any time. Pei Shengqin had no choice but to make some explanations to Shi Yue and Lei Viciously in advance, hoping that if he really encountered danger, the current explanation would be useful.
Shi Yue still felt that Pei Shengqin was too cautious, two hundred armed squads were guarding outside the temple, what danger could Your Majesty have, it was impossible that a group of monks who were powerless could also become assassins, right?
However, as an excellent general, Shi Yue has good military qualities and knows what attitude to use to carry out military orders. Another story was that in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Pei Shengqin had also proved the accuracy of his intuition many times, so Shi Yue said solemnly: "Don't worry, Master Hou, the last general understands!" ”
Lei Vicious was more neat than Shi Yue promised: "From the beginning of the mountaineering, the last general felt that something was wrong. I can't say what the hell is going on, anyway, my intuition tells the last general that these five generals are a little evil, and Pei Hou also feels this way? ”
Pei Shengqin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had a feeling of "I am not alone", and he almost forgot that the Thunder Evil Land in history was famous because of his accurate prediction ability. In the early years, even Emperor Qin sighed that the prediction ability of the Thunder Evil Land was like the birth of a saint, and he even had a nickname at that time called Mengyi Qingsu Thunder Saint.
Pei Shengqin said excitedly: "General Lei also felt it?" In this case, General Lei must remember to be careful. ”
Lei nodded firmly.
After explaining to Shi Lei, Pei Shengqin immediately followed into Xinping Temple.
The moment he stepped into the red threshold of the temple, Pei Shengqin's heart was even more uneasy. The temple gate of this Xinping Temple gives him the feeling that it is somewhat similar to the Dongye Gate of the Imperial Palace, which is a strange existence that makes people feel chilled in the dark.
Xinping Temple occupies a small area, but the decoration is not simple at all. The big red temple wall, glazed blue tiles, in addition to many ink-colored Buddha characters written on the wall, are also painted with cranes, lotus platforms, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and so on. The lacquer used in various paintings has different colors, but it is actually a colorful painting, which is full of fairy spirit.
However, if Pei Shengqin is asked to use one word to describe this Xinping Temple, that word can only be gloomy. Even if the appearance of Xinping Temple has nothing to do with the "Yin Qi", it can't change Pei Shengqin's intuition deep inside.
"This guest, please come in!"
A monk called with a smile, and Pei Shengqin realized that Emperor Qin and the other noble disciples had already entered the temple, and he was still stunned at the threshold.
Pei Shengqin smiled embarrassedly at the monk, raised his feet, and stepped into the Xinping Temple, which looked full of fairy spirit, but felt intuition but gloomy atmosphere.
When you enter the temple gate, you can see a missing well in the southeast corner, and the huge Bodhi tree next to the well.
"This book was planted by the predecessors, since the Han Dynasty stood in my Xinping Temple, has been hundreds of years. Seventy years ago, the Sima clan fled south, and the Jin Dynasty authorities attempted to cut down this Bodhi and secretly transported it to Jiangzuo. At that time, the monks of Xinping Temple all raised sticks to protect the temple, and after a struggle, they were able to save this ancient tree. ”
While Pei Shengqin was looking at this Bodhi tree, the transcendent monk was also introducing this ancient tree to Emperor Qin and the nobles. The voice of the monk was not small, and even Pei Shengqin, who was walking at the back, could hear it clearly.
The story is very touching, very beautiful, whether it is true or not, whether it is the monks who are putting gold on their faces, it is unknown.
"The ancestors of Xinping Temple stood up to protect the temple and were not afraid of violence, which is really good!"
"Thanks to that generation of monks, if it weren't for their righteous deeds, this Bodhi ancient tree would have been smuggled to Jiangzuo by the Sima clan!"
"Every time I think of the countless national treasures that were stolen to Jiangzuo by the Sima clan back then, I can't help but feel heartbroken!"
"Who says it's not, it is said that in order to raise military funds, the Sima clan even sold a large number of my national treasures to small countries in Nanyang, and even the Persians. To my Chinese national treasure is outraged! ”
The sons and daughters of Xun Gui naturally praised the monk a few words, and by the way, they used the topic to scold the Jin Dynasty. This is also an opportunity, maybe whose words are nice and will fall into the eyes of His Majesty? Even if you can't get into Your Majesty's eyes, it's good to be outstanding and leave an impression on Your Majesty; Even if you can't impress Your Majesty, it's good to leave some impressions on the two princes and princesses!
Pei Shengqin tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said that he didn't believe in the story made up by the monk from the bottom of his heart. If you want to say that Sima grabbed money, food and women Thaksin, but if you want to say that Sima robbed the Bodhi tree, he really doesn't believe it. In recent years, there are still a large area of no man's land in Jiangzuo, and there are many towering giant trees, is it necessary to rob you of this broken tree? Pei Shengqin estimated that Dan Fan had a little IQ, and if he thought about it carefully, he could understand that the monk was bragging, and these noble children were in a hurry to behave now, and they didn't have time to think about it.
The monk only introduced the Bodhi tree to everyone from a distance, but did not take Emperor Qin to the direction of the Bodhi tree.
"Amitabha, Your Majesty, next to the Bodhi Tree is the meditation room of the presiding senior brother. The senior brother was infected with a vicious disease, and he was afraid that there would be bad luck over there, so he didn't take His Majesty to see it. ”
Qin Huang nodded and let out a soft "um". The ancient Chinese understood the disease contagion system for a long time, but they didn't know the specific principle of it, and only called the infectious disease "bad luck" or "epidemic gas" in general terms.
Immediately afterwards, the transcendent monk took everyone to visit the Daxiong Treasure Hall, where the statues of the Bodhisattva Buddha stood in many places, all of which were plated with gold powder. The copper bowls at the soles of the feet of each Bodhisattva are also full of copper coins, which shows that the incense in this Xinping Temple should be very vigorous on weekdays. In other words, this group of monks is very rich, and looking at these one by one, they are all full of fat, especially that transcendence.
Pei Shengqin sighed silently in his heart, sure enough, no matter in any era, monks are a very lucrative profession.
Emperor Qin personally put a stick of incense on the golden body of the Buddha in the middle, but he did not bow his head to pray for blessings. Emperor Daqin, even if he worships Buddha, he is also particular, and can only worship the "true Buddha" in a very small number of large temples that have been recognized by the imperial court. It is impossible to make any small broken temple, pinch a humanoid creature with mud and then put a futon, so that the dignified emperor can bow. Obviously, although the incense of this Xinping Temple is prosperous, the Buddha statues enshrined in it are not qualified to be bowed by the Qin Emperor.
Emperor Qin is willing to personally put incense on the Xinping Temple, which is already a great gift to the monks here.
Pei Shengqin frowned slightly, from the time he entered the temple to the present, it was obvious that everything was normal. There is a group of ordinary monks living in Xinping Temple, maybe a little like bragging, or greedy for incense money. Most of the noble sons who followed Emperor Qin came from Jiangmen, and these people alone were enough to settle a bunch of white and chubby monks. The temple is not big, and there is no room to hide soldiers, so it is impossible to rush out a group of people at once. Outside the temple, there are two hundred armed squads guarding it.
No matter how you look at it, this Shinheiji Temple doesn't look like it's dangerous.
However, the chill and uneasiness in Pei Shengqin's heart still existed, and it became stronger and stronger. The fairy-like environment, the lush Bodhi, and the majestic Buddha and Bodhisattva have not changed the gloomy feeling that lingers in Pei Shengqin's heart.
What you see in your eyes and what you feel in your heart is completely the shortness of the two contradictions.
Pei Shengqin couldn't help but ponder, could it be that it was really just the psychological hints caused by the history of his previous life that made him mistakenly think that Xinping Temple was dangerous?
"Well, if you come, let it be safe."
