Chapter 44 On the Doctrine of the Sharp
There are many temples in the depths of Jingshan, and the temples in the area of Yunwu Mountain look at each other, and the bells are heard by each other.
Tianlu Temple, a poetic name. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were many deer on this mountain, leaving a large number of deer, which is the origin of the word "deer" in the temple. Later, there was a temple, so it was called Tianlu Temple. Because of its excellent geographical features, it is also known as Yunmen Mountain and Zishi Mountain. From ancient times to the present, there are many celebrities and scholars who come to Tianlu Zen Temple, or inscribe poems and words, or practice temples, which are very prosperous.
Both sides of the frustrated water are Danxia landforms from south to north, Tianlu Zen Temple is located in it, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the mountains are like bonsai, meandering, the forests are luxuriant and the red sandstone complement each other, the small river is circuitous along the foot of the mountain, the bend of the river forms an empty small plain, which is also the center of the Tianlu Zen Temple, and is composed of two connected courtyards.
Carefully visit, Tianlu Temple is more like a beautiful landscape painting scroll slowly opened: the water is according to the mountain, the tree is born according to the stone, and there is no extra pen and ink. If you climb the foothills of the mountain to overlook the peaks, it is like a delicate bonsai again, without any carving, the green lion and the white elephant on both sides of the two mountains form a unique small basin, the Jinping peak at the foot of Yunmen Mountain stands majestically, leaving only the turquoise river and the leisurely and elegant mountain road, the beautiful and mellow hills are like arms bending each other, wonderful.
Tianlu Temple is a holy place of Buddhism, I don't know if it is because of the Buddha, so that this place has become so quiet and serene, or because the Buddha discovered this treasure land. Typical Danxia landform, the mountains are steep, the birds are singing in the empty mountains, the orchid fragrance valley, the bitter bamboo is swaying, the stream is beautiful, and the scenery is very charming. The temple has strange mountains and different waters, precious trees, fairies, bamboos, flowers and plants, constituting "seven songs of the jade belt", "Jinping one peak", "bitter bamboo secluded stream", "pine pavilion blowing wind", "stone pillar rushing night", "Fahua ancient platform", "Arhat nodding", "dangerous rock to recruit immortals" natural eight scenes.
The ballad of "Eight Views of Tianlu" says:
The jade belt flows around the blue stream, and the sky opens a brocade screen;
The bamboo leaves and clouds by the stream hang the curtain, and the pineapple moon hooks by the pavilion.
The stone pillar is really a thousand weather, which Huatai remembers the spring and autumn;
The front seat of the peak hugged the arhat, and nodded to Zhao Xianri with a smile.
In addition to the wonderful natural "Eight Scenes", Tianlu Temple also has many scenic spots such as "Green Lion White Elephant", "Guanyin Rock", "Elephant Urine Spring", "Ox Nose Cave", "Silver Nest" and so on. One step at a time, chic and novel, vivid and lifelike.
From the Yunmen Mountain, look at the mountain, freeze at the turning place, just like a rare elephant, the whole mountain is called "White Elephant Mountain" again. Coincidentally, on the navel of this white elephant, there is a clear spring bubbling out all year round, called "elephant urine spring". It is said that drinking this "elephant urine water" can drive away diseases and prevent disasters, strengthen muscles and bones, and also get blessings and pass on to future generations.
On the bridge of the nose of Baixiang Mountain, there is a rare hundred-year-old Nan tree, although the stem of the tree has been struck by lightning, it is still luxuriant. According to research, the Nan tree is generally only adapted to grow in Sichuan, Yunnan and other places, and the precious Nan tree of Tianlu Zen Temple may be so lush because of the moisture of the essence and stone liquid of Tianci Mountain. Today's supplementary poem says:
The plain image is bubbling with a clear spring, and the leaves of the hundred-year-old Nan tree are luxuriant.
Drive away disease, strengthen tendons, and bless the shade, and God blesses longevity.
It is thanks to this nanmu tree that the tea mountain has the fragrance of nanmu.
Tianlu Temple is also one of the ancient temples where many monks live, and there are some monks who come from other places to travel, listen to the scriptures, and preach the scriptures. Among these monks, some are highly famous and virtuous monks, most of whom are close friends of Wang Xiucai, and tea and poetry are the main content of their interactions.
Wang Xiucai heard earlier that there was a monk named Heshun in Tianlu Temple, who was not only proficient in Buddhism, but also proficient in tea ceremony, and often roasted tea, cooked tea, and tasted tea in the Xichun dock where he lived.
Wang Xiucai decided to take the farm to visit. On this morning, when they approached Xichunwu, they saw two ancient pines hugging in front of the door, the iron branches were like a sword, and there was a Lingxiao flower coiled on the ancient pine, and a thin old monk sat under the tree and dozed off.
In order not to disturb him, the two of them took a light step, walked forward on tiptoes, and just walked to him, the old monk stretched out his hand, put his hands together, and said, "The donor is Wang Xiucai?" ”
"It's exactly down there."
Wang Xiucai hurriedly replied, and then said, "I'm here to ask for tea theory." ”
The old monk opened his eyes, looked at Wang Xiucai and said, "Tea is like poetry. ”
After speaking, he took Wang Xiucai's hand and entered Xichunwu.
At the time of parting, Nonglu gave two packets of Tianxin tea to the monk Heshun to taste, until the sun went down, and they reluctantly parted.
Most of the temples in Yunwu Mountain have their own tea gardens, and some even have their own tea mountains. Tea planting and tea making is one of their businesses, and the monks send the tea leaves they pick and make to tea shops in the city or sell them to tea merchants, and use the proceeds from the sale of tea to buy food, incense and candles to maintain daily expenses.
Just after Qingming, it is the best season to pick spring tea, and after breakfast, Wang Xiucai is reading in the bamboo forest. At this time, the abbot of Tianlu Monastery and Shun sent a letter to Xiao Shami, saying that the first spring tip of this year had been fried, and invited him to go to Huiguo Jingshe to taste tea.
"What a mountain!" Wang Xiu had just walked to the door of Huiguo Jingshe when he shouted.
It turned out that in front of the bamboo case of Huiguo Jingshe, there were three monks sitting in turn: Heshun, Buddha B, Qingshu, Buddha B is tall, sitting in the middle, and Shun, Qingshu are shorter, sitting on both sides, Buddha B is alone in the middle to pick two ends, just shaped the same "big" word, so he shouted.
After everyone finished the ceremony, Wang Xiucai sat down.
After a while, the monk Heshun specially invited the tea master Qianshi monk from Jingping Mountain to cook the tea and serve it.
Wang Xiucai picked up a cup, took a sip lightly, tasted it, and said in a loud voice: "Good tea!" Good tea! ”
"What's so good?" He Shun asked. In fact, it was intended to test Wang Xiucai.
"The tea is good, the skill of cooking tea is wonderful, knowing it in the heart, it should be in the hand, and it is wonderful." Wang Xiucai replied.
"No!" Qingshu shook his head and said, "It seems that something is missing!" ”
"I know what's missing!" Wang Xiucai laughed.
"What's missing?" Everyone was a little puzzled, so they threw the "ball" to Wang Xiucai.
"Honey!" Wang Xiucai said with great certainty.
Everyone was still a little puzzled, and let Wang Xiucai explain the reason.
Wang Xiucai told everyone: Qingshu Bigu for many days, don't eat anything else, only eat honey.
Everyone said "oh", and then it dawned on me.
While drinking tea, Fo Yi pondered how to play tricks on Wang Xiucai, thought about it, pointed to the Flying Eagle Peak in the distance and asked, "Wang Xiucai, what is the name of this peak?" ”
"Spirit Bird Peak!" Wang Xiucai said, "According to legend, Huiyun, a high monk from Tianzhu, once traveled here, saw this peak, and said in surprise, 'Isn't this the small peak on the Spirit Bird Mountain of Tianzhu Kingdom?' How did you get here? ’”
Buddha Yi said: "It is also called Flying Eagle Peak. ”
Wang Xiucai asked: "Why did you fly here and not fly away?" ”
Buddha Yi replied: "It is better to be still than to be still." ”
Wang Xiucai asked again: "Why do you want to be quiet?" ”
Buddha Yi replied, "If you come, you will be safe." ”
Everyone listened and laughed heartily.
Wang Xiucai is chic and free, but Fo Yi is bored.
