Chapter 14 burns incense and worships the Buddha
There are thousands of steps leading up from the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside, and Xuanzhong Temple is located here, but so many steps can't stop those pilgrims who come to burn incense.
"Ah, I'm going to die." At the door of the Xuanzhong Temple, Tang Shishi held the temple door and said. "I really don't understand, why temples like to be built on the mountain, isn't it embarrassing for us tourists, every time I come here, this staircase is the most speechless existence." ”
"Hehe, okay, aren't we coming up, let's go quickly, let's go and worship the Buddha and the Bodhisattva." Luo Yun'er patted Tang Shishi's shoulder with a smile and said.
"Okay, let's go in together, it seems like we're the first to come up, and they'll all come up in a while." Yang Liaoxin glanced at the stairs, and said in agreement, and then entered the gate of the temple.
The layout of the temple is generally the main building of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and in turn it is the mountain gate, the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Dharma Palace, the partial hall, etc., Li Yan and several people enter the first stop from the gate is the Tianwang Palace.
The temple pavilion of Xuanzhong Temple is a total of 36 halls, 12 pavilions, and the sixth floor. And the Great Buddha Hall is the eighteen halls.
A few people came in, almost all of them burned incense to worship the Buddha and added sesame oil money, etc., asking for peace, but Li Yan didn't believe much in this, because these were all deceptive existences, so when they came in, they just looked around, and then made a show, after all, it was the first time to come to the temple, and it was still such a big temple.
Tang Shishi saw that Li Yan didn't worship, and then saw that some pilgrims saw Li Yan's appearance, all of them were far away, and angrily pulled Li Yan to the front of several people, and whispered: "Why don't you worship, otherwise you will anger those people at that time." ”
"Well, I don't like to worship very much, and I don't believe in this, and I don't worship what does it have to do with them, did the visit provoke them, hey, forget it, let's follow you," Li Yan said and saw the unkind eyes of a few people later, so he immediately changed his words.
Tang Shishi and a few people didn't believe in this very much, but because the elders had to believe it, they were half-convinced later.
"Brother Li Yan, don't say what you said just now in the temple, otherwise they will eat you." When Li Yan was making a show, Yang Liaoxin said in Li Yan's ear.
"Well, I know, I didn't expect them to believe this so much." Li Yan said speechlessly.
"I don't believe this, especially those soldiers who went to join the army, some of them didn't worship the Buddha to keep them safe before joining the army, but they didn't shed blood and sacrifice on the battlefield, so basically no one believed it in the barracks. After all, it's not lifeless to believe this, so it's only useful to train real skills. Yang Liaoxin said to this Li Yan.
"Well, well, it's okay to say goodbye, it's a religion after all, and it's also a cultural spread in our country." Li Yan nodded, knelt on the futon and bowed.
In the following time, Li Yan and Tang Shishi visited and worshiped the Buddha statue together, or made a wish or something, and listened to the monks' lectures.
"Go shopping, I'll sit for a while, this incense makes me uncomfortable." After worshipping the Buddha statue in the Mahavira Hall, several people sat outside and said.
"Or we'll wait for you for a while, we're not in a hurry." Tang Shishi heard Li Yan's words and asked.
"No, I'll look for you in a moment. Go first. Li Yan waved his hand and said.
"Okay, then we'll go first," After finishing speaking, Tang Shishi and Liu Yiyi went to the next Buddha hall.
Li Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing a few people leave, and now when no one is disturbing here, he can enjoy the scenery of this Xuanzhong Temple. Come to a pavilion not far away, and look down at the scenery of the mountains.
While Li Yan was enjoying the surrounding scenery, two monks came to Li Yan's side, Li Yan seemed to have a sense, turned around, and saw an old monk and a young monk.
Li Yan saw the person coming with his hands folded and said, "Master." ”
The master folded his hands and bowed and said, "Amitabha, donor, can we talk?" ”
Li Yan nodded when he heard what the old monk said.
"What do you think of this view?"
"It's okay, standing here and looking down, it's a bit of a feeling of the Legend of the World." Li Yan thought for a while and said.
"Well, it's really an experience." The master nodded and then said, "I still don't know the name of the donor?" ”
"Oh, boy Li Yan." Li Yanxing saluted and said, "What is the master's legal name?" ”
"Huh? Amitabha, I actually forgot to talk about myself first, but asked Master Li first, it was the old man who was rude. The old man's name is Huikong, and he is the abbot of this Xuanzhong Temple. Master Huikong said apologetically to Li Yan.
"Master Huikong, may I ask what you have to say to the kid?" Li Yan didn't care about Master Huikong's own complaints.
"Hehe, I see that Li Yan's donor is very fateful, so let's talk." Master Huikong said with a smile: "Master Li Yan is from this Xihe County, right?" ”
"Well, the kid is from Pingyao City, Xihe County." Li Yan nodded.
After hearing where it was, Huikong continued to ask: "I wonder if Li Yan's parents came to Xuanzhong Temple with you?" ”
Li Yan was speechless when he heard this Huikong master's question, because it was a bit like checking the household registration, but there was always a certain truth in the master's question, so Li Yan did not refuse to answer: "I haven't seen my father and mother since I was a child, and I don't know where they are now, I have been with my grandfather since I was a child,"
"Amitabha, mention the sad past of the donor." Master Huikong clasped his hands together and said apologetically.
Li Yan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it." ”
Huikong nodded and said, "Did Li Yan's parents leave any tokens for you?" ”
"Tokens, yes." Li Yan said and took off a piece of jade pendant from his neck.
Master Huikong saw the jade pendant in Li Yan's hand, and after looking at it for a while, he said something in silence. When Li Yan saw Master Huikong like this, he didn't make a sound to disturb, so he waited quietly.
About a tea time, Huikong woke up from Shen Yan, looked at Li Yan and said, "Master Li Yan, this jade pendant is something you have brought with you since you was a child, right?" ”
Li Yan nodded when he heard Master Huikong's question, and Master Huikong nodded when he saw Li Yan and continued: "Master Li Yan, don't look at this jade easily in the future, it is easy to attract death, after all, this jade is a high-grade jade, it is easy to make people red, and there is also a trust existence of this jade that you think is valuable, you can show it to them." ”
"This jade is related to Li Yan's life experience, and I don't know too much about your life experience, but one thing is that if you grasp it well, you will be able to know the true identity of your parents and your life experience."
When Li Yan heard what Master Huikong said, he grasped the key and asked eagerly, "Does the master know whose thing it is?" ”
"Hehe, the old man doesn't know whose thing it is, but his carving technique is a famous teacher." Master Huikong replied with a smile.
Li Yan heard this and wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Master Huikong and said: "Master Li Yan, you just need to know that this jade is not an ordinary thing, and Li Yan's donor is extraordinary, even if he doesn't have this thing, he can solve the riddle, so Lao Wei can't say too much, because the answer needs to be found by yourself in order to be a person's life." ”
Li Yan saw that Master Huikong was not talking, so he had to stop asking, and said with a pious Buddha salute with his hands together: "Well, since this is the case, Master Xie will explain." ”
Master Huikong nodded, bowed, and slowly left, followed by the little monk.
Looking at the departing figure of Master Huikong, and then looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Li Yan shook his head helplessly, and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect it to be like this, I always thought it was an ordinary piece of jade, it seems that my identity is extraordinary, I feel that after seeing this piece of jade that day, I asked some strange words, it turned out to be like this." She should know a little bit about it, but it doesn't look like she remembers, forget it, the master said, the answer is interesting to pursue by yourself, since this is the case, let's come step by step. Now let's go find Sister Shishi and them first."
Leaving the Daxiong Treasure Hall and coming to another Buddha hall, Tang Shishi and a few people happened to worship the Buddha in the Buddha Hall, Li Yan glanced at it, did not bother them, but sat outside, thinking about what Master Huikong just said, although Li Yan accepted it, but it was still a little difficult to accept it suddenly, and it was necessary to digest it slowly.
I don't know how long Li Yan sat there thinking about it, then Yang Liaoxin came to Li Yan's side and said, "What are you thinking?" Absent-minded. ”
"Huh? Didn't think about anything, them? Li Yanyao asked.
"They are in the back, in front of this Buddha hall, they have finished worshipping, and there are several in the back. It should come out in a while. Yang Liaoxin shook the fan in his hand and said.
"In that case, just wait here for a while, are you hungry?" Li Yan touched his stomach and asked.
"Well, you don't say you don't feel hungry yet, why don't you wait for them to come out and go to dinner."
As soon as Yang Liaoxin's voice fell, Tang Shishi's voice came: "Li Yan, have you been here for a long time?" ”
"Once, are you hungry? If we're hungry, we'll go for a meal. ”
"Dine? Don't worry, we discussed it just now, and when we finish worshipping these halls, do you want to go together? ”
As soon as Tang Shishi finished speaking, Li Yan and Yang Liaoxin directly refused and said: "Uh, forget it, the two of us won't go together, since that's the case, we'll go to dinner first, and I'll come back to you later." ”
"If you don't go, we'll go first." Seeing that the two of them didn't go, the fourth girl didn't say anything, nodded and left.
Li Yan and the two of them saw a few people leaving, and when they looked at each other, they could see what they wanted to express in their eyes: "Just kidding, the remaining halls will take at least more than an hour to finish, and we will be with you when we are crazy." “
When I came to the room, I was just about to enter the door, when a voice I didn't want to hear and someone I saw came to the two of them.
"Hehe, isn't this Brother Yang and Li Yan, what a coincidence." Gao Zhenyin shook the paper fan and walked out of it and said with a smile.
Li Yan and Yang Liaoxin raised their eyebrows, Li Yan turned his head slightly and didn't see it, while Yang Liaoxin had no choice but to clench his fists helplessly and said: "Hehe, it seems that Gao Gongzi has used a meal, but I seem to remember that Gao Gongzi doesn't like to eat vegetarian food?" Why did you remember to be vegetarian today? ”
When Gao Zhenyin heard this, the smile on his face stiffened slightly, and he quickly recovered, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I ate so well yesterday, so I want to eat some vegetarian food today to clear my stomach, otherwise too much will be difficult to digest." When he said this, Gao Zhenyin glanced at Li Yan.
Gao Zhenyin's action, Li Yan naturally saw it in his eyes. Combined with what he said, his brows furrowed slightly, not knowing what he meant, because it couldn't be literal.
"Hehe, that's it, as soon as you said it, I suddenly remembered that it seemed that I ate too well yesterday, and we also have to clear our stomachs, otherwise I'm afraid it's not easy to digest, don't you say?" Yang Liaoxin naturally didn't hear the meaning of Gao Zhenyin's words, so she only smiled and said.
When Gao Zhenyin heard this, he naturally remembered what happened yesterday, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he didn't want to talk to Yang Liaoxin, so he had to clench his fists and say: "Since this is the case, I won't disturb the two of you Yaxing, I'll leave first." With that, he left.
When the two saw Gan Zhenyin leaving, they just smiled and went into the room.
