Chapter 11 Biyun Temple Travelogue

Biyun Temple is located at the eastern foot of Xiangshan Mountain, with beautiful scenery, and it is the temple that people go to more at that time. Zhu Xiaoqi came earlier, because Li Jinzhong whispered that the incense is usually in the morning. So after Zhu Xiaoqi glared at him, he decided to come early. Get off in front of the mountain gate, the mountain gate is a gray tile roll roof, a square door, and there is a deep ravine in front of it leading to a stone bridge. There is a pair of stone lions in front of the door, squatting on the Sumeru seat, carved finely. There is the mountain gate hall behind the door, the face is wide and three, the ash tube is the top of the mountain, there is a bucket under the eaves, there is a pair of clay statues of King Kong Lux in the hall, the wrestlers look hideous, lifelike.

Behind the mountain gate hall is the Maitreya hall, and there is a Maitreya Buddha about eight feet high in the hall. After the Maitreya Buddha Hall is the Sakyamuni Temple, also known as the Danqing Pavilion, which is the main hall of the whole temple. It is also three rooms wide, the top of the square hall with a single eaves of gray tiles, and there is a bucket under the eaves. The top of the hall is the dragon caisson well, the hall is ** enshrined as the Buddha, the Bodhisattva on both sides, the Arhat are complete, if it is incense, it is generally here. They came too early, Zhang Cheng shouldn't have come yet, so he left Xiao Li to wait here, he knew Zhang Cheng, if he came, he would go to the back to inform. Then with Li Jinzhong, Zhou Yuji slowly paced to the back.

There is a stele pavilion behind the palace, the heavy eaves octagonal accumulates the pointed glazed tile roof, and the upper and lower eaves are all decorated with buckets. Behind the stele pavilion is the Bodhisattva hall, the face is wide and three, the gray glazed tile single eaves rest on the top of the mountain to adjust the big ridge, the front out of the corridor, the eaves are decorated with the bucket. The hall enshrines five clay color statues of the Bodhisattva in the Ming Dynasty, the two walls are molded with the twenty-four heavenly gods and the four stars of Fulu Suxi about three feet high, and there are hanging sculptures of Yunshan and small Buddhist stories around the statues.

Bodhisattva hall behind the temple back hall, the name of Pu Ming Miaojue Palace, into the hall, no one is not, the general pilgrims, rarely come to the back, only like them to wander around to see the scenery will come. Behind the hall is the famous tower courtyard, and the stele towers are neatly arranged, giving people a solemn feeling. There is a side hall on the side of the stele tower, which is very shallow, and there are only two futons in it, and an old monk sits on the futon inside. When a few people walked by, the old monk suddenly said, "Three donors, can you take a break?" This is said to be insincere, there are two futons in total, and I also sat on one of them, and I even asked others to rest. Li Jinzhong signaled not to enter, but Zhu Xiaoqi became interested, the two masters around him, are they still afraid of an old monk, besides, who will be unfavorable to him? And no one knows who they are. So he waved his hand, paced in slowly, and sat on the futon, waiting for the old monk to speak. Li Jinzhong and Zhou Yuji stood behind him, staring at the old monk vigilantly.

The old monk smiled slightly: "The donor doesn't need to be like this, the old man just saw that the donor was a little kind and wanted to give the donor a face." ”

"Isn't it a Taoist priest's business, I didn't expect the old monk of Biyun Temple to have such a ability."

"The face only needs to be seen to see if it works, as for whether it is a monk or a Taoist, it is not so important."

"That's true, I'm too pretty. Then the monk will say first, what am I here for today, and if I am right, I believe that the old monk has a good face. ”

"If there are few people, you will admire your parents." The old monk said with a smile. This sentence comes from "Mencius", and the full sentence is "If there are few people, you will admire your parents; If you know how to be lustful, you will Mu Shaoai. Zhu Xiaoqi naturally knew this, and he was shocked, he had never believed in the things of gods and ghosts, but things that he wore on a person could happen, so that he now believed in these things, this old monk just glanced at them, and knew what they were here for, it seemed that there were some doorways.

He straightened his attitude and asked respectfully, "Master, what do you call up and down?" The old monk smiled: "The old man's name is Yuantong." Zhu Xiaoqi shouted wildly in his heart: "Yuantong, I still Shentong, why not call it Yunda." ”

The old monk continued: "Lao Qu from Songshan Shaolin Temple, here has been a half month, today to see the donor's bones Qingqi, dragon and tiger step, faintly have the appearance of the Buddha, so out of the invitation." ”

"Master Yuantong praised it falsely, and the kid didn't dare to be it. When the master invites him, when he has other intentions, I don't know if he can tell him directly? ”

"The old man wants to meet the donor, and he wants to ask for something. It's useless, let's meet first, what does the donor want to ask? Marriage or future? ”

"First ask about marriage, and then ask about the future, can the master come for me one by one?"

"The matter of marriage should be from what the donor thinks, and it can be expected. The future of the donor is clear-minded, and he can know it without asking. ”

"What I want to do is similar to coercing Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea, it is difficult to do it, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, please ask the master for guidance, will it succeed?"

"Whether it will succeed or not, it is not up to the old man to know. Let me tell you a little story to the benefactor. The reincarnation of Kim Qiaojue, the prince of Silla, was called the King of Jizo because of his patience and immobility like the earth, and his meditation was as deep as a secret treasure, and the King of Jizo Bodhisattva once made a grand wish: Hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha. Now the hell is not empty, and the king of Jizo has not become a Buddha, but because of the long eons of repeated vows, he is deeply admired by the world, so he is respected as the Bodhisattva of the king of the great wish of the earth, although he has not become a Buddha, it is better than becoming a Buddha. As long as you do it, if you do one thing, you will get one merit, and if you do ten things, you will get ten merits. ”

"Thank you for the master's advice, I don't know what the master is asking for, but if I can help, there is no excuse." Zhu Xiaoqi clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.

"The old man has an obscure name, he doesn't like to chant the scriptures, and the skills of a good gun and stick, he is not allowed in the temple, he is going to travel outside with the old man, and the old man is going to travel far away, so he asks the nobles, and there is a place for his existence in the family temple." This is to take refuge naked, and it seems that monks can't jump out of the Three Realms. Since the old monks all said that he was a good gun, it means that his martial arts are good, and he is a good thug, don't miss it. Zhu Xiaoqi agreed, and the old monk said in his mouth: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, good, good." As soon as the words fell, a little monk came out of the stele tower, with clear eyebrows, folded hands, and bowed his head.

"Obscurity, Tan Yue is willing to give you in the family temple, come and thank Tan Yue." The little monk said: "Amitabha, thank you for Tanyue's generosity!" Zhu Xiaoqi saw that the little monk was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he didn't look like a strong martial artist at all, so he was puzzled, but he didn't say much, so he had to take the little monk out. The little monk had tears in his eyes, and looked at the old monk who refused to move, and the old monk smiled: "Obscure, there is a way of life and death, can't you still find it?" Master is happy in his life, you should be happy for Master, why do you want to be a child. The monk has to go back to the temple, so let's say goodbye. ”

Only then did Zhu Xiaoqi understand that what he said about his long journey meant that he was going to nirvana, and the old monk arranged his apprentices before he died, which was considered a wish. He knew Zhu Xiaoqi's identity, and naturally understood that the future of following Zhu Xiaoqi's own apprentice was bright, and it might be of great benefit to Shaolin and even to Buddhism as a whole.

After the old monk instructed the little monk again, the little monk reluctantly followed Zhu Xiaoqi to the front hall, and the appearance of turning back step by step made Zhu Xiaoqi's heart a little desolate. But when he saw Xiao Li hurrying over, the desolation immediately turned to joy.

Xiao Li panted: "It's here, but a few people occupy the main hall and don't let others in, and they are arguing." Zhu Xiaoqi was furious, walked quickly to the front of the hall, and saw the two family members stretch out their hands and said lazily: "I am worshipping the Buddha in the master, and the idle people are waiting, please wait a while before entering." Zhang Cheng also had two family members in front of him to stop him, Baozhu was standing next to him, but unfortunately with the curtain away, he couldn't see her face, Zhu Xiaoqi was even more annoyed, and slapped the family Ding, with a crisp sound, the family Ding was stunned for a long time, his eyes stared at him, as if he couldn't believe that he dared to hit himself. Li Jinzhong and Zhou Yuji stepped forward and knocked the other three family members to the ground with three punches and two kicks. Zhu Xiaoqi said solemnly: "Where is the madman, who actually forcibly occupies the temple and does not let others worship the Buddha, you can know the meaning of equality of all living beings in the Buddhist family." ”

The uproar in front alarmed the people in the temple, and a family member ran out and scolded: "Who is making a noise here and alarming the nobles, can you afford it?" After scolding, he saw his four companions fall to the ground, hurriedly turned around and ran into the hall, Zhu Xiaoqi took Li Jinzhong and Zhou Yuji to follow in. I saw two old men in their sixties inside, and the family was reporting to one of them, the old man had five long beards and a majestic face, and when he saw Zhu Xiaoqi and a few people coming in, he stopped the words of the family and arched his hand: "The old man made a wish many years ago, and today is the day to repay the wish." Because of his quiet nature, he asked his subordinates to temporarily isolate himself from the inside and outside, why did he not ask about the indiscriminate and directly move roughly, which is really not what a gentleman did. Another old man also said: "Young people need to cultivate more, so reckless, we still think they are beating people." "Fighting is equivalent to the underworld of the Ming Dynasty, this is said viciously, Zhu Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Well said, dare to ask the names of the two high sages." ”

"I'll wait for the name, so I won't ask about it, so I don't know how to respect the elderly, the old man really doesn't want to talk to you more, let's go." At that moment, a few people stepped out. At this time, Zhang Cheng and Baozhu also came in. Zhu Xiaoqi laughed and said: "It's really good, it's really better to say than to sing." I don't know how long the old man is, so relying on the old and selling the old, he doesn't dare to leave his name, which is expected by the kid. If you like to kill people, should we stand here and let you kill you? It's not a gentleman's doing, I don't know that I think this Biyun Temple is your family temple, what you do can be regarded as a gentleman's doing? ”

The old man turned around and said angrily: "I can't wait for the time being to enter the hall, is it not okay to let you wait for a while in the name of my Li Sancai?" Li Jinzhong whispered next to him: "The former household is still a scholar, just and upright, and has a good name." Zhu Xiaoqi didn't know who Li Sancai was, but he knew about the Hubu Shangshu, but he didn't think that the Hubu Shangshu would make him retreat from the difficulty, not to mention adding a preface, so it would not be taboo: "I don't care how talented you are, if you are an official, you feel that you are superior, and you feel that others take you for granted, and others will be angry when they lose your face, I really don't understand this truth, and I don't want to understand it." If it is your family's temple, how to control the arrangement is your business, since it is not, then there is no reason to prevent others from offering incense and making yourself quiet. No wonder the rulers are so clear now, looking at what you are doing today, I understand. Let's go, don't get in the way of the official's eyes! With a few people walking forward, he walked past Li Sancai and the others who were so angry that he walked by, and when he passed by Zhang Cheng's side, he bowed, didn't look at the jewel with his eyes, and walked away.
