Chapter 10: Traveling with the United States
There was no one around, Wang Lun hugged Zhang Mengjia tightly, sniffed the fragrance on Zhang Mengjia's body, and said affectionately: "Meng Jia, I miss you so much." ”
Leaning on Wang Lun's warm and broad embrace, Zhang Mengjia also complained heartily and murmured: "After a farewell to the years, Meng Jia has Wang Lang in her mind, and she misses you in her heart." ”
I don't know what to do, go deep! There were crystal tears flowing from Zhang Mengjia's eyes.
Wang Lun's guilt was beyond words, and he reached out to caress Zhang Mengjia's cheek. Wang Lun and Zhang Mengjia faced each other, looked at each other, and said word by word: "It's hard for you, Meng Jia!" ”
"I ......"
Zhang Mengjia didn't finish the rest of his words, and was gagged by Wang Lun. Although the two have a private agreement for life, it is the first time that they have been so close.
Wang Lun's wild action completely shocked the girl. Zhang Mengjia only felt that her red lips were kissed, her head buzzed, and it became blank in an instant.
It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like it was just a moment.
When Zhang Mengjia opened her eyes, she saw Wang Lun looking at her with a smile. Two pieces of red glow flew up Zhang Mengjia's cheeks, burning the girl's heart and pounding.
At present, Wang Lun's mood is extremely happy. Looking at the shy Zhang Mengjia, Wang Lun asked: "Meng Jia didn't follow his uncle to serve in Haizhou, why did he come to Tokyo?" ”
Zhang Shuye gave Wang Lun another kindness, although Zhang Shuye's patriotic thoughts of loyalty to the monarch were deep-rooted, but Wang Lun still respected him very much and called him uncle.
"My father's three-year term expired this time, and he went to Beijing to complain, and I followed him back to the city." After answering Wang Lun's question, Zhang Mengjia suddenly remembered Wang Lun's current identity and asked nervously, "Why is Wang Lang here?" There are many people here, I'm afraid it's inconvenient! ”
Wang Lun's rebellion caused a lot of uproar, and the world knew about it, and Zhang Mengjia was worried about him.
"It doesn't matter! I came here with a few friends. Wang Lun was very confident and replied to Zhang Mengjia lightly.
Zhang Mengjia saw that Wang Lun was very confident, and he also put his mind at ease, and said to Wang Lun: "What Wang Lang has experienced in the past few years, can you tell me." ”
Wang Lun looked around, and then said to Zhang Mengjia: "Okay, let's talk while walking." ”
Speaking of the murder of Wuju, Zhang Mengjia was filled with indignation. Speaking of the pursuit of officers and soldiers, Zhang Mengjia was very nervous. When he heard that the northwest resisted the enemy and beheaded the enemy chieftain, Zhang Mengjia was fascinated again and was full of admiration for Wang Lun.
The two walked and chatted, and time flew by.
Wang Lun and Zhang Mengjia walked out of the path, and saw a bell tower next to it, three feet high.
"Let's go up and have a look!" Seeing the joy of hunting, Zhang Mengjia climbed the bell tower.
I saw a bronze bell more than six feet high and hugged by three or four people hanging in the middle, and there were many inscriptions cast on the bell, which seemed to be scriptures.
Wang Lun looked at it and couldn't help but say: "What a big bronze bell, if you knock it down, the sound will not spread all over the city!" ”
Because he has lived in the capital, Zhang Mengjia knows a little about the historical allusions of Daxiangguo Temple.
looked at Wang Lun affectionately, and Zhang Mengjia smiled like a flower. "This morning bell of Xiangguo Temple is one of the eight views of Bianjing. Every morning, when the bronze bell is slammed, there will be bursts of majestic and loud bells from the bell tower, and the sound will shake the whole city. This bronze bell is more than six feet high and weighs more than 10,000 catties. Every morning at the fourth watch, the monks in the temple will ring the bell, listen to the bell of the Great Xiangguo Temple, the people in the city will get up to work, and the guards will open the city gate. ”
Zhang Mengjia hadn't seen Wang Lun for a long time and relied on him very much. After getting off the bell tower, he said to Wang Lun: "Wang Lang will accompany me again!" ”
Now Lin Chong and Shi Jin are all walking away with interest, and only Wang Lun and the two are cheap.
Zhang Mengjia took Wang Lun and went to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Luohan Palace, and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion again.
Compared with other temples, there is nothing special about the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but the carved beams and paintings are more exquisite. On weekdays, there are monks guarding them, but they are strict.
Here the Luohan Hall is different again, the folk also call the "Octagonal Glazed Palace", the structure is peculiar, it is an octagonal cloister type building, it is unique, it is rare in the world.
Attached eaves around the verandah surrounding, in the middle is the center pavilion, the treasure of the town temple of the Great Xiangguo Temple, the thousand-handed thousand-eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined in the central pavilion.
The verandah hall is surrounded by the Buddha carving of the Sakyamuni lecture meeting, the Buddha, the Buddhas, the Bodhisattvas, the Heavenly King, the Arhats, the shapes are vivid, the carvings are exquisite. They are either in the mountains and forests, or in the small bridges and flowing waters, or sitting or lying, or raising their heads, or bowing their heads, and their forms are realistic.
In the central pavilion is a two-zhang high wooden statue of Guanyin with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, the whole statue is different on all sides, each side has six big hands and three to four layers of small hands distributed in the form of a fan, each palm is painted with a glance, a total of one thousand and forty-eight, the folk is commonly known as "the Buddha of a thousand eyes and a thousand hands"
No matter which side you look at, you will feel that your face is dignified and beautiful, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.
Zhang Mengjia is a beautiful girl, also well-read, and also dabbles in Buddhism. While appreciating, he explained to Wang Lun.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a Ming Jun who was seriously ill and could not be a director. The enemy country seized the opportunity to attack, and the whole country was panicked. However, the doctor has not been cured for a long time, and the situation is very critical. can only post a reward, and later a monk from the traveling side took the list. But he clearly said that he needed to use one hand and one eye of the emperor's children as medicine. ”
"Although the emperor has a lot of children, as soon as these princes and princesses heard that they were going to use one hand and one eye as a medicine guide, they immediately scolded the monks of You Fang and said nonsense to drive him out of the palace. There was only one princess who, without hesitation, drew a knife and cut off an arm, gouged off a glance, and made a medicine lead. After the emperor took medicine, he miraculously recovered. ”
This story is widely spread, the Buddha knew, and was greatly moved, saying that this is the filial piety we respect! I will re-install his hands and eyes, reshape his whole body, and let the people practice filial piety to their elders. The words of the Buddha were handed down, but because the sound of "Quan" and "Qian" was close, "Quanshou" became "Qianshou", and then this princess became like this, but the people did not think she was a monster, but embraced this princess very much, and also molded a golden body for her. There is also this thousand-eyed and thousand-armed Buddha. ”
At first, Wang Lun listened to Zhang Mengjia's story, and he was still concentrating, and in the end, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "This story must happen in Tianzhu Kingdom, and it will deceive an innocent girl like you." ”
Zhang Mengjia was very curious and asked, "Why did Wang Lang say that?" ”
Wang Lun looked at Zhang Mengjia and said with a smile: "Because I don't believe in this story at all!" If it happened in my country, there must be a history record, but I have never heard of it. I think it's just that Buddhism knows that my Central Plains is the first to be filial piety, and in order to spread in my Central Plains, it was made up to cater to the imperial court. ”
When Zhang Mengjia heard Wang Lun's words, he thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Wang Lun accompanied Zhang Mengjia around this circle, and when he saw that his head had risen to the middle, he said: "Daxiangguo Temple covers an extremely wide area, if you want to browse them one by one, I'm afraid it will take a few days." However, these are the main buildings in this temple, and the rest are mostly courtyards where monks and pilgrims live in the temple. Why don't we take a walk around the snack street? ”
The temple fair is very lively, and there are more people who enter the temple at noon, and the adjacent streets naturally form a street market.
"Someone! Help me! ”
Wang Lun and the others walked not far when a panicked woman's scream came.
Zhang Mengjia glanced back at Wang Lun and said, "Something happened!" ”
Seeing that Zhang Mengjia was willing to step forward to help, Wang Lun naturally would not lag behind. "Let's go, let's see!"
