Chapter 359: The Great Shengci Temple (4)

The big drama is about to happen, but the scheduled protagonist Luo Yuhong doesn't know anything.

She asked Tan Fang to decline the invitation of the abbot of Daci Temple to serve tea in the empty Zen Master's room, and stood in the square in front of the temple and waited for a while. Seeing that the sedan chairs behind her had arrived, she waved her hand and walked into the mountain gate with a large group of noble ladies and officials.

The architectural layout of Daci Temple is fully in line with the regulations of traditional Chinese Buddhist temples.

Entering the mountain gate is the Heavenly King Palace, where there are four giant Heavenly Kings who can scare crying children.

The Hall of the Heavenly King is followed by the smiling Maitreya Hall, where several children climb up and down on the belly of Maitreya Buddha.

Back to back with Maitreya is the Bodhisattva Wei Dao holding a vajra. The magic weapon of Wei Dao Bodhisattva is on the ground, implying that this temple is a large temple, which can accommodate foreign wandering monks to eat and live for a long time.

On the central axis after the Maitreya Hall, there are the Guanyin Hall, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Dharma Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in turn.

On both sides of the central axis, there are also vast courtyards, towering ancient trees and magnificent dining halls. The open-air tea plantations all over Chengdu can also be found in Daci Temple.

As a thousand-year-old temple, Daci Temple also has a unique place, that is, the bronze Buddha and famous calligraphy and painting collected in the temple, which is called "a moment of mastery", and it is the favorite of literary and artistic people.

In Daci Temple, Buddhist temple culture with Chinese characteristics can be seen everywhere. For example, pilgrims who often visit temples will find that most of the Wei Tuo Bodhisattvas in various temples are angry at Vajra, but they always face Guanyin Master and do not relax for a moment. If you are curious, the laymen will whisper to you that Guanyin and Wei Tuo are husband and wife in a previous life.

It's scary to think about it. For example: What did Guanyin and Wei Tuo do before, and why did they get married? Do you have children after marriage? Why did they divorce in a good way? Is there a third party involved? Why did Wei Tuo never abandon Guanyin, and took care of it so faithfully after divorce? Is there a leader deliberately harassing a divorced female subordinate?

There is also a question related to Luo Yuhong's itinerary today, that is, why are there always two boys and girls around Guanyin? What is their relationship with the two bodhisattvas, Wei Tuo and Guanyin?

……

Luo Yuhong went straight through the Maitreya Palace, and after the wide patio was the Guanyin Palace. There is a tall statue of a female bodhisattva in the hall.

I saw the Bodhisattva dressed in plain white, with a crown of flesh, the supreme Buddha on his head, and a jewel on his neck; Holding the white bottle, fingering the willow branches, stepping on the pure land of the lotus platform, the body is vast and boundless in the South China Sea; Kind eyebrows and kind eyes, happy complexion, solemn appearance, universal sentient beings, divine power, shining in all directions.

Under the Bodhisattva's knees, there was a boy and a girl on each side. The boy's head is decorated with flowers, his arms, wrists, ankles are all made of gold, his hands are folded, and his lips move slightly, as if he is worshipping; The virgin ribbon leads the clouds, carries the lotus branch on the shoulder, holds the pearl in the left hand, and points to the boy with the right finger.

The green smoke is swirling, and the tide of Sanskrit sound.

After Luo Yuhong burned incense and prayed, she thought of the child in her belly, and couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears. It was easy to stop her sadness, and the sound of the copper chime interrupted her meditation. A kind old monk stood beside her, and it turned out to be the empty Zen master.

When the empty Zen master seized Miss Luo's thoughts, he asked two questions with lightning speed.

"Female benefactor, what Buddha do you worship?"

"Naturally, it's Guanyin Bodhisattva." Luo Yuhong replied casually. Seeing the cuteness of the two children at the feet of the Bodhisattva, Luo Yuhong thought of the child in her belly again, so she added: "There are also these two boys." ”

The sentence added by Luo Yuhong obviously made the empty old monk stunned. But the old monk still quickly raised the second question, which was obviously premeditated.

"Lady benefactor, what do you ask for?"

"Naturally, it is a child." Luo Yuhong replied casually again. She looked at the two lovely children at the Bodhisattva's feet, and added sincerely: "It is better to be a man and a woman, and both are blessed!" ”

Luo Yuhong's words suddenly made the empty old monk stunned. He muttered to himself in a daze, but he put the inexplicable Luo Yuhong aside.

Empty and speechless, another old monk immediately squeezed in. Later, Luo Yuhong learned that this was Master Jingyuan, the abbot of Xinxiang Temple.

The old monk Jingyuan is quick to talk and goes straight to the core:

"The benefactor has not yet married the son. If the female benefactor does not seek marriage, why only ask for heirs? ”

How is this answered? Luo Yuhong froze suddenly.

Do you tell him that the two of us were husband and wife for twenty years in our previous lives?

She pondered anxiously. The laity around her, along with the monks, men and women, shot hot eyes on her back. No matter what, Luo Yuhong couldn't find a proper explanation in a hurry, so she had to reveal her true feelings. She hatefully thought that if she wore a goof again, this girl would come to silence and be golden!

"Marriage in the past life, husband and wife in the next life. It was meant to be! Luo Yuhong firmly pointed at the Bodhisattva in front of him and replied, "If Zhu Pingjin doesn't marry this girl, the gods and Buddhas in the sky won't be able to spare him!" He knows what I know, God knows what the Buddha knows! ”

"Is it really a marriage in a previous life?!"

The old monk Jingyuan lost the momentum just now, and was still talking to himself when he retreated.

What's going on? Why are the monks asking me?

Luo Yuhong turned her head and looked around, looking for a helper. As soon as her neck moved, her eyes hit a tall middle-aged monk. The monk politely reported himself to his family, saying that he was the Dinghui Zen master of Baoguang Temple.

Luo Yuhong simply stood up and asked, "What advice does the master have?" ”

Sure enough, as soon as the mouth opened, politeness turned into a sword: "Since the female donor said in her previous life, I don't know what kind of knowledge the female donor gained in her previous life?" ”

Luo Yuhong was already sweating hotly. She had the heart to call the soldiers of the guard company in, and grabbed the bald donkeys who were struggling with each other and hung them for three days. But she thought about it in a blink of an eye, there were so many clan officials and relatives outside the temple gate and outside the temple watching and watching, Zhu Pingjin was now desperate on the front line, if he couldn't stabilize the rear, it would definitely have a disastrous impact on his career. The competitive personality since childhood overcame the short-term fear, and she raised her chin lightly and smiled:

"What this girl learned in her previous life is to know the past 5,000 years and the future hundreds of years. If this girl's knowledge is deployed, she can change the world! ”

Who knew that the Dinghui monk was not deceived by Luo Yuhong's nonsense, but just folded his hands and asked again: "The son of the world is extremely intelligent, and everyone in Shu knows it." I'm afraid that his ability is not under Miss Luo? ”

The monk mentioned Zhu Pingjian, which made Luo Yuhong laugh out loud. She thought of her junior classmate and husband, and remembered the old stinky thing when he delivered love letters everywhere and finally fell into the hands of Luo Yuhong.

"If you talk about Zhu Pingjin, he can only be regarded as the junior brother of this girl!" Luo Yuhong proudly announced loudly.

"That's true!" Monk Dinghui's eyes suddenly lit up. He was about to ask a question, but was interrupted by a younger monk.

"Female benefactor! The little monk has no appearance, but Master Chushan (Note 1) will pass on his disciple again! ”

The young monk said the Dharma seal on his hand and explained to Miss Luo in detail: "The little monk Buddha is the mother of wealth. The little monk practices and recites every day, wishing that hundreds of millions of sentient beings in the world will be rich in wealth and not lacking. ”

It turns out that Tiancheng Temple is a Tibetan Yellow Sect Tantric Dojo. This source of wealth, the Heavenly Mother, is the result of the change of Tara. The so-called Tara in Tantra is the Guanyin Bodhisattva in Han Buddhism, also known as the Dora Bodhisattva.

"This is the right girl's appetite!" Luo Yuhong, who didn't know much about Sino-Tibetan Buddhism and Zen Esoteric Buddhism, thought, "As soon as I heard the name, I knew that he was offering to the God of Wealth in the Bodhisattva!" ”

"The little monk has something unclear, please open up the female benefactor!"

"Master Monk doesn't have to be polite. This girl is most familiar with money! Luo Yuhong replied with a full heart.

As you know, the problem of this faceless little monk is a secret thing.

"I heard that the female benefactor once had a jewel, worth a hundred thousand taels of gold, I don't know where this jewel goes?"

Orbs? Luo Yuhong's brain began to spin rapidly.

She has a jewel, which was secretly dedicated to her by Jiang Dingzhen on the day when Zhu Pingjin ascended the palace. Later, Zhu Pingjin said that this so-called night pearl was radioactive, so she planned to throw it away. But Zhu Pingjin, the villain, decided to use this bead to trick people, and asked for the bead back, and handed it to Yu Jie, a priest of the Ministry of Rites, and took it to a certain place, ready to give it to someone.

This matter is, of course, top secret.

There may be more people who know that Luo Yuhong has beads, because Jiang Dingzhen must have traveled a lot of ways and spent a lot of thought to get beads. But the specific whereabouts of the beads, except for Zhu Pingjin and Luo Yuhong, the only one who knows the details is Yu Jie, the person who sent the beads, and even Li Sixian doesn't know.

Since Zhu Pingjin was so secretive, Luo Yuhong concluded that the little monk in front of him had just heard a little rumor. Although she didn't know the specific intention of the little monk to ask this question, she still decided to face it head-on. If you don't answer, tomorrow this matter may cause a stir in Chengdu Mansion, and you will fall into passivity.

"Indeed, this girl had a great pearl. This pearl shines brightly at night, it is really a treasure! It's just ......" Luo Yuhong pretended to be very heartbroken, and the two palms were incomparably bigger than the beads drawn, "This girl dedicated it to the Buddha!" ”

Hearing about the appearance of the treasure, the little monk really showed a fascinated color. But his curiosity had not yet dissipated, and he asked again: "I heard that the Guanyin Bodhisattva Dojo is in the Putuo Immortal Mountain in the South China Sea. The little monk has been offering Buddha since he was a child, and has never been out of Chengdu Mansion. Chengdu Mansion goes to the sea for 108,000 miles, and the little monk cannot become a Buddha, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to see the sea until he dies. The little monk often thinks that this sea is vast, and I don't know how many treasures there are at the bottom of the sea! ”

Passing the test easily just now, Luo Yuhong was secretly proud of her cleverness and wit. Listening to the little monk's pitiful words, he scolded in his heart: What a little monk who is greedy for money, no wonder he became a bald donkey, and he didn't forget to worship the God of Wealth!

Although she thought this in her heart, Luo Yuhong, who was fast-talking, still told the little monk in detail that the bottom of the sea is a world full of lights: there are all kinds of corals, all kinds of fish and turtles, pearls and shells, and gold and silver treasures.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ There is also a giant animal in the sea, the largest of which is hundreds of thousands of catties, called whales. Whales are not fish, because they are viviparous and not oviparous! ”

Luo Yuhong said quickly, so she leaked her travel experience with Zhu Pingjin, "This girl has seen a group of whales at sea, wow, the water column spewing out of her nostrils is so high......"

When Luo Yuhong said this, she immediately felt that the atmosphere around her had solidified. She quickly shut up, because she knew that she was about to make an old mistake because of her mouth againβ€”a goof.

There was a jewel that was dedicated to the Buddha;

I've been to the bottom of the sea and seen whales.

The little monk was sold, and he took the initiative to give up the position of asking the question with satisfaction.
