Chapter 239: The obsession of Jianzhen
A few people rested for a while in front of the building plaque, stroking a pair of particularly eye-catching stone lions entrenched in front of the archway, the stone lion carved according to the specifications of the royal garden, the shape is strong, the head is right, squatting, straight waist, front paws are flat, proud of the distance.
"Zhen Lang, there is a spring not far from here, the spring water is clear and sweet, why not take some to quench your thirst?"
Zhen Qian is as good as a stream, although he doesn't like to drink raw water, but it does not prevent him from tasting the world's famous spring from time to time, which is known as "the fifth spring in the world" by later generations! ”
Daming Temple is built according to the mountain situation, layer by layer upward, the temple is huge, can be used for one or two thousand monks to practice here, when a group of people look up at the plaque above the front hall three big characters "Daming Temple", the feeling of ancient vicissitudes of life is coming.
Raise your feet and enter the temple, there is a statue of Maitreya in the hall, the back is the protector of the Dharma, and the two sides are divided into the four heavenly kings who hold the country, grow, wide-eyed, and hear. After the Tianwang Palace, but see that the courtyard is open, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, and the cigarette smoke is around.
Passing through the courtyard is the Daxiong Treasure Palace, facing three rooms, the front and back corridors, the eaves are three times high, and the flower ridge is leaking. There is a treasure mirror embedded in the high part of the ridge, and the yang has the four words "Guotai Min'an", and the yin has the four words "wind and rain". The Dharma in the Daxiong Treasure Hall is solemn, the scriptures are solemn, and the Dharma instruments are complete. The Buddha Shakyamuni, who sits on a lotus platform in the middle, is revered as "Nobita". The Buddha is flanked by Kasaba and Ananda, one of his ten disciples, with Medicine Buddha sitting in the east and Amitabha Buddha in the west. Behind the altar is a group of clay statues of "Island Guanyin". On both sides are the statues of the eighteen Arhats. The Buddha statues in the hall are all renovated, the golden light is radiant, and the law is solemn.
At this time, a little novice saw a group of people looking around, and the conversation was very good, like a rich man and his wife into the mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Amitabha, do you donors burn incense and make vows, or ask someone to do things, or ask for children?" ”
Zhen Qian almost laughed out loud, is he like a person begging for a child?
But when I looked back at the moon beside me, she looked like a married woman, leaning on her side tightly, and it was difficult to see what the other party's expression was now through the curtain.
Zhen Qian smiled, gave Wang Tianxing a look behind him, and immediately offered a sum of sesame oil money and said, "Exactly!" My lady came to Daming Temple today to ask for Buddha and make a wish, can you take my lady to ask for a son in the Guanyin Temple? ”
"Then please ask this lady to go with the little monk!"
Xiao Shami led the way in front, a guard followed behind, Yuerong opened his mouth, he wanted to say that he and Zhen Qian came to Daming Temple to play, but since Zhen Qian had already spoken, it would be suspicious to defend again, so he could only follow Xiao Shami to the direction of the temple next to him.
Breaking away from the moon, Wang Tianxing approached Zhen Qian, and whispered casually: "When we went down the mountain just now, someone followed us up the mountain, could it be the group of people who have been following us?" ”
I really don't know who has been following him, Zhen Qian can't guess and can't figure it out, if An Lushan and the Sogdians want to steal the secret recipe of the soju process, they should not follow him to Yangzhou, and will directly do it in Luquan County. And this group of people has been following themselves, it is absolutely impossible to kill them for money, otherwise they would have done it a long time ago.
At first, I thought that my grandfather secretly sent someone to keep an eye on him, but after seeing Wang Bo in Yangzhou, such an idea was dispelled, otherwise he would not show up and stuff himself with a woman in a green building.
"Who else will there be?" Zhen Qian really couldn't guess: "Could it be that the Zhen family is suspicious of themselves?" ”
I really can't figure it out, it stands to reason that I am already very low-key, because I am worried about becoming famous, I usually don't even see people anymore, so I almost hide in the mountains as a hermit, can I still be remembered like this, it's too depressing.
Walk through the Daxiong Hall to the apse, the more you go back, the more secluded, around a few towering trees, a row of meditation rooms appeared in front of you, and I was about to find a monk to ask, but I was blocked by a fat monk who didn't know where to come from, "This donor, this is a place for monks and nuns to meditate and meditate, and please stay with the two donors!" ”
Zhen Qian looked up and down at the fat monk with white eyebrows and beard in front of him, the fat monk is also a rare breed, could it be that drinking cold water also grows meat, and his face was immediately full of smiles: "This master, in Luquan County, Xiahengzhou, Zhen Qian, I heard that the archmage of the lantern is here, and he specially came to ask the archmage to solve the demons. ”
The fat monk looked at the 100 yuan flying money handed over by Zhen Qian, his face was a little moved, it would be good if ordinary pilgrims could give a few times, and those who were willing to take out 100 yuan at once could not wait to ignore it, so he hurriedly put the flying money into his sleeve cage quietly, let a step and stretched out his hand and said: "Since the donor wants to see the host, please come with me!" ”
Zhen Qian was taken away at the door of a meditation room, the fat monk picked up the curtain and walked in, and after a while, he came out again, and said with a sad face: "The host is practicing meditation and Buddhism inside, and I don't want to meet guests today, if the donor wants to relieve the demons, why don't you go to the abbot master with me?" ”
Zhen Qian is so easy to deal with, not to mention that he spent a hundred times just to see Jianzhen who is preparing to cross to the east, what is the use of taking himself to see a cat and a dog, his face sank slightly: "Please also ask this master to spread the word again, just say that I already know about the archmage's preparation to cross the east to the country, and I hope the archmage will see me today?" ”
As soon as Zhen Qian's words came out, the face of the fat monk in front of him changed greatly, the Tang people need official permission to leave the Tang Dynasty, especially the monk, and it is forbidden to leave the Tang Dynasty.
"Please wait a moment, donor, I'll pass it on again?"
The fat monk's eyes looked at Zhen Qian, and then looked back at Wang Tianxing on the side, and saw that the two were not from the government, so he walked into the meditation room unwillingly.
This time, the fat monk went in twice as long as the first time, and after about two teas, the fat monk picked up the curtain and walked out and said, "The host is inside, please don't delay too long?" ”
Zhen Qian froze his mind, crossed the door and opened the curtain to enter, only to see that the light in the room was dim, it seemed unusually quiet, the whole room except for three or four futons on the ground, there was nothing else, there was an old monk sitting on the innermost futon, Zhen Qian had just entered the black room, and he didn't adapt to the light for a while and couldn't see the other party's face clearly.
In the dark, the two eyes flashed with a faint light of wisdom, containing the wisdom of life, it was difficult to see that this was the authenticity of the blind for Dongdu, Zhen Qian stepped forward and clasped his palms and saluted: "In Luquan County, Xiahengzhou, Zhen Qian has seen the Lamp Passing Archmage?" ”
"Master Zhen, please sit down, I don't know if I want to see the poor monk, I don't know what's going on?" The other party's voice is soft and flat, like a spring breeze and rain, which makes people feel peaceful and tranquil.
Zhen Qian took a futon and sat down cross-legged, gradually his eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he saw the appearance of the monk on the other side, only to see that the other party's nose was high, his cheekbones were stretched forward, and his body was thin.
Zhen Qian sat cross-legged on the futon, his hands on his knees, and his body leaned forward slightly towards Jianzhen and said solemnly: "The archmage has a strong will, and he is dedicated to traveling east to the country to preach and purify all sentient beings, which makes people admire ......."
After the polite words, Zhen Qian immediately got back to business, he didn't have much time today, and he didn't want Yuerong to find out that he had found Jianzhen, so he immediately looked at the door and continued: "The territory of the Wa State is small, surrounded by the vast sea, it is not easy to survive, from the Baijiang Estuary War, you can see the ambition of the Wa State, this is a natural geographical constraint, and its island mentality is also destined to expand outward in the future. System and various skills, over time, will inevitably be a tiger for the trouble, over time, the country of the Japanese gradually become stronger, if the Central Plains is turbulent, with its wolf ambitions, how can it not take advantage of the void? ”
This time, Zhen Qian came to persuade Jianzhen to preach Buddhism, which can educate the people to be good, but it is also necessary to prevent the advanced culture of the Tang Dynasty from being used by him, gradually catching up with the Tang Dynasty, and ruining the future generations of China.
