Buddhism in the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, and there were many temples and Taoist temples in Suzhou, as long as it was a place with mountains and rivers, there were more or less hidden Buddhist Taoist temples. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Qingquan Temple is outside the east city, Li Xiangzhi asked someone to know the general direction, and the next morning early in the morning he felt the darkness and waited for the city gate to open and went to the temple.

Although the morning was early, the great working people still got up early and ran for life in the dark, and Li Xiangzhi was extremely reluctant to run this time. The woman looked like a murderous person, and she was entangled with the secret service, Li Xiangzhi was just a little angry in his life now, but he didn't want to be too involved.

"Hurry up and show the wet placket, increase the light steps, gradually make promises in your heart, and see the Qingquan Pavilion more and more!" Li Xiangzhi looked at the pavilion and sighed leisurely, then quickened his pace and walked through the pavilion to climb the mountain.

Several Buddha statues on the pavilion stand terribly, the cigarette smoke curls, the Buddha's voice is magnificent, and there are bells buzzing through the Qingquan Mountain from time to time, which makes people listen to the clarity in their hearts.

Li Xiangzhi held a folding fan in his hand, looked around, and was attracted by the beautiful scenery of this Qingquan Mountain, and the antique Buddhist road. After a moment of silence, he immediately echoed an elegant poem. But I don't want to......

"Ouch!"

Li Xiangzhi was bumped very abruptly, his body was crooked, and the folding fan came out of his hand.

"I'm sorry! Sorry. I'm sorry for this child. ”

Li Xiangzhi raised his eyes and saw a plainly dressed middle-aged woman holding Buddhist beads with vegetables and fruits, obviously a simple person who went into the mountain to pray or repay his wishes.

"It's okay, it's a small thing."

The middle-aged woman immediately lowered her head and picked up the folding fan and handed it back to Li Xiangzhi, saying, "Son, good man!" It's rare for Childe to come to the temple in a hurry. What cause and effect are you asking for? The old woman will tell you that the child-seeking Guanyin of Qingquan Temple here is the most effective. ”

"Uh...... I...... I'm asking for marriage. ”

"Hey, that's not bad, in half an hour, there will be more pilgrims here! Many big girls and little girls will come here to ask for a good life. Maybe you'll be lucky today. ”

Li Xiangyi saw that the woman's mouth was babbling endlessly, and he had no choice but to force a smile to accompany him.

"Is Childe just asking for marriage today?" The woman said with a strange expression.

"I ...... Truly...... By the way, take a look at the scenery of this Qingquan Temple. Li Xiangzhi was about to talk at length about the misty scenery in the mountains, but the woman's face suddenly changed, and she said in a low voice: "Li Gongzi, if you finish watching the scenery, you can start to handle the affairs of the master, right?" ”

"Huh?" Li Xiangzhi exclaimed: "You are?" ”

The woman no longer had the spirit of a rural peasant, and said in a low voice with a cold face: "Childe, please go to the Guanyin Hall to check out." ”

"I ...... I ......" Li Xiangzhi took a cold breath and said, "Dare to love you as a spy?" I don't know what to do when I go down to the Guanyin Temple? ”

The woman's eyes were obviously puzzled, and said: "The old woman lurked under the mountain for more than a month, and explored the Qingquan Temple many times, and found that most of the missing women this year were related to this temple. ”

"Huh?" Li Xiangzhi was dumbfounded when he heard this. Apparently taken aback by the sudden words.

The woman was surprised when she saw Li Xiangzhi's face, and she couldn't help but scold: "Could it be that I found the wrong person?" It's impossible, looking at the body, the figure and the face are all matched. ”

has been a spy for more than ten years, and the woman should have the confidence to recognize people, but when she saw Li Xiangyi's face with a look of horror, she couldn't help but feel suspicious. Then he cautiously asked, "You are Li Xiangzhi of Wu County, right?" ”

"Yes...... It's me. Li Xiangzhi hasn't even come back to his senses.

The woman obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Li Gongzi, hurry up and prepare, there will be more people who enter the incense from half an hour younger, and it will be much easier to make a move at that time." ”

"I ...... What am I going to do? Li Xiangzhi said confusedly.

The woman's face twitched obviously, and she immediately said patiently: "Enter the Guanyin Hall and carefully check if there is anything unusual around." ”

"I ......" Li Xiangzhi suddenly came back to his senses and said: "I have a white body, and a hidden master like you can't detect it, how can I find it?" Think too highly of me, right? ”

"The Lord said that the child's heart is not to the Buddha, and he is a newcomer, and some behaviors are abnormal, and it is not easy to attract the attention of the temple blessing. After all, the old woman is pretending to be a believer in the Buddha, and some behaviors are easy for people to notice abnormalities. Don't say it, the old woman leaves first, otherwise she may attract the attention of others. ”

"I ......" Li Xiangzhi still had to ask about other things, and saw that the woman praised Li Xiangzhi with a big grin, and wished Li Xiangzhi a successful marriage, and then distanced himself from Li Xiangzhi.

Li Xiangzhisheng swallowed a stomach full of questions, and looked at the mountain gate melancholy.

At this time, in the forest not far from the temple, the old woman bowed her head and bent down and said to the visitor: "Lord, the slave and maid have explained clearly, but this son seems to be ......."

The person the old woman told was the woman in black, and the woman looked in the direction of the mountain gate, holding a braid with one hand and kneading it.

"Alas! Yesterday I was also angry for a while, and called him over, originally wanting this rotten creature to come here to experience it and scare him into venting his evil anger. Now that I'm angry, I regret it a little! ”

The old woman's heart sank, and she said secretly: "No wonder that kid is at a loss. Alas, the Lord is a childish temper! ”

"If he seeks to no avail, I don't care, I want to go to the Guanyin Hall again, and if I am found, I will find out, and I will kill a few stinky monks first. Hum! ”

Seeing that the woman's eyes were slightly cold, the old woman suddenly stood on the side without saying a word!

There are more and more people going up the mountain to enter the temple, Li Xiangzhi looked at the mountain gate for a long time, although he was annoyed, but he also had the heart to find out, because the woman said before, the population is missing. This is a delicacy that violates the principles of heaven and harms people, and if Li Xiangzhi encounters it, then it can't be ignored.

Li Xiangzhi said in pieces: "That's it! Today, I, Li Xiangzhi, entered this empty door to see if it was empty! ”

The outer mountain gate of Buddhism is the empty gate that Buddhism says, and it comes to the main hall of the main hall through the Dharma Protector Hall and the Tianwang Palace, and the Guanyin Hall is behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Li Xiangzhi came to the front of the Guanyin Temple, raised his eyes, there was cigarette smoke curling inside, and a golden-bodied statue of Guanyin looked at the believers kneeling down peacefully, which was extremely solemn.

Li Xiangzhi put away the folding fan, lifted his coat, and stepped in without wanting to lift his legs.

"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks deep in Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering......

Li Xiangzhi entered the hall, looked left and right, only to find that a few pious believers knelt on the futon and kept chattering, ignoring the surroundings at all.

Li Xiangzhi swayed around the Guanyin statue for a while, didn't find anything abnormal, turned back to the front, and looked at the Guanyin statue for a little thought.

"Alas! Son! You also came to worship Guanyin? ”

Li Xiangzhi was in deep thought, and was suddenly stopped. When he came back to his senses, he saw an old woman and looked at Li Xiangzhi with a surprised face.

Li Xiangzhi immediately arched his hand and said: "Rude, rude, pass by here and see this place Lingxiu, the temple here is solemn and extraordinary, so come in and see, old man, are you here to pray for blessings?" ”

The old woman saw Li Xiangzhi's polite reason, and then smiled kindly: "The old woman is old, and the children and grandchildren are healthy and healthy, each with her own livelihood, food and clothing are not worried, this life is considered a blessed mile, but thanks to the old woman who has been blessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva for most of her life." ”

"Oh? How blessed are the old people? Children and grandchildren are filial and old, this is the joy of family! ”

"Yes, yes! Thanks to the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is the blessing that the Bodhisattva bestows on the old woman! The old woman smiled when Li Xiangzhi said this.

"Huh? Listening to the old man's tone, this temple should have been built for a long time, right? You will have the opportunity to serve Guanyin Bodhisattva for most of your life! ”

"This temple has been built for fifty-two years."
