Quack··· A few crows perched under the eaves let out a few hoarse chirps. In the room, Master Yoshijo, whose brows were white, was sitting opposite Yoshiryu, the current presiding officer of Chong'en Temple.

"Senior brother, Khorasan is a Muslim state. Now that the broken leaves have been restored, my Buddhism is a pure land, and I am afraid that I will not be at peace! Yoshiryu said with a frown. During the reign of the Qarakhanid Empire, the land of broken leaves was revered by Islam.

Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Nestorianism, etc., were all suppressed. Later, it was not easy to survive the rule of the Great Liao, and Muslim lost its exclusive position. Therefore, for Buddhism, which has finally prospered, Khorasan's rule of Broken Leaves means that Buddhism is facing an existential threat.

When Yijing heard this, he didn't open his eyes and said: "There are clouds in Buddhism, and everything has its own certainty. Throughout the Western Regions for nearly a hundred years, since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, successive khans of the Western Regions have ruled the country with military force and regarded the people as dogs. The Tibetans, Qarluq, Huihe, Turkman and other foreign races have no heart for civil governance. The Khitan Da Liao, who moved westward, only learned some Han skins. Only Khorasan, hidden at the beginning of Dezong's westward migration, treated all ethnic groups with kindness, strict self-discipline, and lenient demeanor. ”。

Although Yijing retired for a long time, his ears were not deaf and his eyes were not blind. So it's not that I don't know anything about the outside world.

Yi Ryu also knew how powerful his senior brother was, and said loudly: "What senior brother said is very good! Recently, the pilgrims who have been restored to the Buddha Temple have many words of wishing the Lord of Khorasan to be healthy and prosperous. Obviously, Li Guoju's words of sympathy for the people's feelings and kindness to the people are not lies. It's just that the lord of the country is not a Buddha, and for my Buddhism, it is really a blessing and a curse! ”。

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. The old man has invited the lord of the country to come, and he will be there in a few days. Yijing slowly opened his flabby eyelids and said confidently.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, several sleds slowly stopped at the foot of the mountain. Li Chengji looked at the temple on the hill and sighed: "The boundary in this city that can be seen at a glance is not so remote to walk. After a night's work, I was all in a hurry. ”。

The snow is too thick, and at night, it is easy to get lost. So the whole convoy slowed down and didn't dare to go too fast.

Yelu Chongde, who accompanied him, came to Li Chengji's side, waited and said: "Chong'en Temple has been built for a hundred years, and it has not been destroyed after several dynasties, and most of them have benefited from this wonderful place of feng shui. ”

Li Chengji also saw it! The location of this Chong'en Temple is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The hill is not steep, and there is a large area of flat land. And listen to Yelu Chongde's introduction, there is also a hot spring on this mountain. There is warm water all year round, and the relatives of the Liao clan are noble, so they often come here to bathe in Buddha's grace.

In addition, there are many hidden wells, and the monks in the temple have cultivated some fields, which can be completely self-sufficient.

Li Chengji led the people up from the only mountain road. The snow on the road is quite deep, and it is quite laborious to walk on it. It took nearly an hour for them to come to the mountain gate.

The three words "Chong'en Temple" of the dragon flying and phoenix dance reveal a faint and quiet atmosphere unique to Buddhism. The architectural style of the entire Chong'en Temple is also mostly imitated in the Han style. The bucket arch cornices constitute the main body of the temple. However, the painting of carved beams and columns is more bright and profound. However, it is borrowed from the painting method of the Tibetan monks, with a little Hu Feng.

Li Chengji came by chance! The mountain gate was wide open, and two or three small novices were clearing the snow in front of the door. Seeing Li Chengji and others coming, they were all a little frightened. After all, Li Chengji's guards all have weapons, and they are from the army, and their blood and qi are completely different from those in cultivation.

"Amitabha, is the donor here to make a vow?" , a little novice looked at Li Chengji and Yelu Chongde, and finally came to Yelu Chongde and asked out loud.

Obviously, this little novice is also well-informed, so he can see who is the master and who is the servant of this group. It's just that he never expected that the young Li Chengji was the main person in this group.

However, Li Chengji didn't want to reveal his identity, so when Yelu Chongde was about to ask Li Chengji for instructions, Li Chengji coughed twice.

Comprehending the meaning, Yelu Chongde also said the Buddha's name, and responded: "Amitabha, I came here to repay my vows, and secondly, I also want to ask to see Master Yijing." ”。

"You want to see Master Yijing?" , Xiao Shami's tone raised a little, and then said, "Then may I ask if the donor's surname is Li?" ”。

This made Yelu Chongde stunned, and it was difficult to answer.

"I am Master Li! Since you Yijing Master have guessed that I will come, please spread the word. Li Chengji walked up to Xiao Shami.

Hearing this, the little novice did not delay. Immediately rushed into the door and rushed to pass the pass.

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps. I saw the presiding officer Yiryu leading the monks in the temple to rush out.

"Poor monk Yoshiru, meet the lord of the country!" , righteous Buddha rituals. The other monks also spoke, and their faces were quite respectful.

Seeing Li Chengji's puzzled gaze, Yelu Chongde spoke: "Where is Master Yijing? ”。 He had seen Yijing, so he could see at a glance that there was no one in this group of people that Li Chengji wanted to see.

Listening to this, Yoshiryu felt a little sad in her heart. Because the senior brother specially instructed Li Chengji to meet him. Therefore, when they came to greet them, Yijing was still in the Buddha's room.

Naturally, this could not be said, and Yiryu could only excuse himself: "Senior Brother Yijing is very old, and his health is inconvenient. Now I can only stay in the Buddha room ······."

"Presumptuous! The status of the lord of the country is noble, how can there be a reason for condescension. Yelu Chongde scolded. At this time, maintaining Li Chengji's face is the best way to show loyalty as a courtier.

"Forgiveness of sins!" , Yoshiru took a dry monk and knelt down in fear.

Li Chengji was a little more interested in the legendary Master Yijing, and responded: "Since the mage is unable to move, then I will go to find him myself." It just so happens that there are some Buddhist principles, and I want him to explain one or two. ”。

"Lord of the Kingdom!" , Ba Rahei led the guards to follow and said loudly.

"It's not easy for Buddhism to move troops, so don't take them in." After Li Chengji finished speaking, he entered the door, and Ba Rahei immediately ordered three guards and followed in with Yelu Chongde.

I didn't feel anything outside the door, but when I went inside, I found that there was something else. Pavilions were connected, and Persian carpets covered the floor of every temple. The Buddha shrine embroidered with the golden silk Dapeng bird is delicate and has a bit of charm, and I have to sigh the heritage of Chong'en Temple.

The Buddhist temple is also planted with plum blossoms, chrysanthemums and other different flowers that are not afraid of the cold winter, although the branches are wrapped in a thin layer of blood, but still bloom delicately and beautifully.

Li Chengji turned around a lot of places before he came to the main building of Chong'en Temple, Mingguang Pagoda. This is the tallest building in Chong'en Temple, and this tower can be seen in Broken Leaf City and even in a radius of Broken Leaf for hundreds of miles.

Relying on the 10,000 snow-capped mountains behind him, it is more solemn and sacred.
