Walk into the temple, only to see that the temple has set up a lot of colorful sheds, enshrine all kinds of Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat statues, there are hundreds of statues at a glance, the size is different, the demeanor is different, each statue is burned in front of the incense, it looks like the weather is worthy of being a royal temple, this kind of Buddha statue specifications are not comparable to the temples of the state and county.

When entering the main hall, everyone should wash their hands with water before returning to their respective places. The master of Yongning Temple, the master of the Dao Zheng, personally poured incense, and the emperor stood in front of the statue of the world-honored person, his eyes were free of distractions, and his palms were folded between his eyebrows. After Master Daozheng finished pouring incense, the emperor respectfully fruited the incense with both hands, closed it in his palm, knelt down in front of Shakyamuni, closed his eyes and said: "Emperor Hong, the emperor of the door, dared to enlighten the world, raised the empress dowager Feng before, raised the people of the world for 20 years, and gave birth to countless people. The world is suffering, the world is honored and liberated, and the queen mother is driving west, the door is also happy and sad, the soul does not know what to entrust for more than a month, now fasting and bathing, open the altar, is trying to listen to the Buddha in all directions, or get the love of the world, have to worship the queen mother in the dream, then overjoyed. I also hope that the Queen Mother will be reborn in the Buddha country, go to the three disasters and nine horizontals, realize the true self, and get the Buddha fruit. Bow down again," he said and bowed three more times.

The three Tuoba Shen brothers also bowed, they didn't need to say anything, they just followed and worshipped.

The next thing is when the great virtuous monk Shamen led the chanting of Buddhist scriptures, hundreds of monks sat in their respective positions and chanted the scriptures, and the sound shook the roof tiles for a while. According to the previous decision, the fast was to be held for three consecutive days. But it has nothing to do with Tuoba Shen and them. Accompanying the emperor are those civil and military officials and generals, they have to be present at this fasting meeting today, and it will not be mandatory tomorrow, but the emperor will come to worship incense for these three days. The time for Tuoba Shen to leave the palace is just before sunset today.

"Big brother, second brother, let's go to the tower of Yongning Temple, where the terrain is high, you can see a long distance, the fog has dispersed today, let's go up and have a look?" Tuoba Ke had just come out of the main hall and proposed it, and it seemed that he had already thought about it.

Tuoba Shen is also a newcomer, and he is not familiar with anywhere, but it is the same everywhere for him. The tower of Yongning Temple has never had a chance to come, so it's good to take advantage of this time to take a look.

The three of them discussed, turned left and right, and walked in the direction of the tower, there was no way if they were not familiar with the road, and they couldn't waste much time anyway if they were in the right direction.

After turning around for a while, I found that there are really a lot of people today, men, women and children, many of these are the families of officials, and today Yongning Temple is a big door for convenience. It's just that ordinary civilians don't dare to come. Those who can come have some status.

After walking for a while, there were many people along the way who had the same purpose as them, and they all wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the top of the pagoda to climb the pagoda and overlook it.

From a distance, the tallest building in Pingcheng feels completely different from up close, for a traverser like Tuoba Shen, the pagoda of more than 100 meters high does not surprise him, but for Tuoba and Tuoba Ke, the feeling is very different, and they excitedly circled the tower several times, and almost bumped into other Zhai guests and monks several times. Tuoba Shen also followed them around, listening to the bell from the tower, and his mood was really much more comfortable.

Entering the pagoda, the inside is also full of smoke, there are both incense offerings to the Buddha, and sandalwood incense that makes people calm down, and through the Buddha flag, they also saw a small novice on duty there wiping the Buddha statue with a damp cloth, which is something they have to do repeatedly every day.

Tuoba Ke was very active, pulling Tuoba to look around, knocking on the magic instrument from time to time to see, and sometimes a mural had to be looked at for a while. Tuoba Shen took advantage of their time to watch and play, walked in front of a statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva, lit a bouquet of incense, put his palms together, but did not pray anything, just performed the Buddha ritual and inserted the incense into the incense burner. As the successor of communism and an atheist, he does not believe in Buddhism and Taoism, but worships Buddha just for peace of mind.

Turning around and walking a few steps, thinking about going to find Tuoba Ke and the two, suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, mixed with a slight "crunch, crunch" sound of the wooden plank, as if to accompany this footsteps, from outside the door walked in a girl, about the same height as Tuoba Shen, looked about twelve or thirteen years old, combed double buns, but unlike ordinary people, her bun was simply divided, and then some of them were tied into buns, and most of the hair was freely draped, and then tied with red ribbons. The upper body is wearing a silk cotton jacket, not the left side, but the right side, with an embroidered yellow belt tied around the waist, and the lower body is wearing an intercolored pleated skirt, and the skirt is also a floor-reaching style, this kind of skirt needs to lift the skirt corners when walking, so it is mostly slow when walking.

I don't know which noble girl it is, Tuoba Shen looked at the girl, and while thinking about it, he turned sideways to make way for the girl, and the girl also looked up and saluted to express her gratitude, and Tuoba Shen also returned a salute, but neither side spoke.

The girl walked to the statue of Maitreya, knelt in front of the statue of Buddha, saluted, then got up and lit a bouquet of incense, closed it in her palm, and knelt down again, reciting something silently in her mouth.

Tuoba Shen didn't dare to look any further when he saw this, it was too rude. Hurriedly walked away, looked around, but still didn't find Tuoba Ke and the two, maybe they went up.

Walking on the stairs on the second floor, Tuoba cautiously looked back unconsciously, and the girl was still kneeling in front of the Maitreya Buddha statue and praying.

Tuoba Ke was indeed on the second floor, and at the moment he was looking at a picture of a Yaksha, this painting looked a little old, and the color of the fill was a little oxidized, but it was not obstructive.

"Does the third brother like this yaksha?" Tuoba Shen asked

Tuoba Ke turned around and saw Tuoba Shen, and replied: "The younger brother and aunt have a picture scroll in their foreign house, which is said to be a painting by Gu Kaizhi of the Southern Dynasty, and the painting is this Yaksha, and the younger brother wants to see what differences they have." ”

I didn't expect this kid to like Buddhist culture so much, and even the yaksha that this kid avoided was interested. It's better to become a monk as well. Tuoba Shen thought to himself with a slight grumble.

"Where's the big brother? Aren't you two together? Why didn't you see the big brother? Tuoba Shen didn't mention the painting again, he had no interest in Buddhism. Some of the Buddhist scriptures I usually read are also pleasing to the queen mother and the emperor, and the knowledge is enough to coax people.

"Big brother doesn't like this, I think it's going up, right?" Tuoba Ke replied as he admired the paintings, and it seemed that there was nothing outside his mind, only these Yakshas. Seeing that Tuoba Ke didn't want to speak, Tuoba Shen didn't bother him, and told him to be careful with some candles, and walked away.

In the middle of this layer is the Medicine Buddha, and there are two Bodhisattva statues on the side of the Medicine Buddha. The rest are mostly statues or inscriptions of Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, Vajra, etc., which are enshrined by Shanxin Tanyue in order to pray for his family or himself, arranged on the Buddha shrines on both sides, densely packed. Those who believe in Buddhism will come to the temple to buy a Buddha statue or make a Buddha sculpture themselves, and then engrave the image and inscription they want to engrave, and enshrine it here to pray for blessings.

It's boring to be idle, so it's better to see what is being said.
