Chapter 178: Love at First Sight

"Little master, I don't know where to pray for blessings?" Zhao Ji leisurely in the Yunxin Temple to watch, each hall is more, people are dazzled, I don't know where to incense.

Generally speaking, each building of a temple has its own unique characteristics, and each has a different meaning. The main hall of the temple is the core building of the entire temple, and it is also the place where the monks concentrate on practicing in the morning and evening. Generally, it is dedicated to Sakyamuni, and Sakyamuni's virtue name is called "Nobita", so it is called the Mahavira Treasure Hall.

Nobita, with the wisdom and virtue of the Buddha, can break through the subtleties and deep sorrows called Nobita, the great, including all things; The male, subduing the demons; The treasure is the three treasures, all of which belong to this hall to pass on the correct Dharma, the power of my Buddha, and the great thousand of Xiongzhen.

The main temple of the temple is dedicated to the Bodhisattva of the earth, and it is one of the important halls of the Buddhist temple; Tianwang Palace, also known as Maitreya Palace, is the first heavy hall in the Buddhist temple, the hall is ** enshrined with Maitreya statues, the statues of the four heavenly kings are enshrined on the left and right, and the back is dedicated to the statue of Wei Tuo Tianzun, so it is named.

However, these are not the halls that Zhao Ji is looking for, what he is looking for is the Temple of the Virgin.

The Temple of Our Lady is the main hall of the Jin Ancestral Hall, the main building in the Jin Ancestral Hall, sitting west to east, located at the end of the central axis. It was built for the daughter of Jiang Ziya, the wife of King Wu of Zhou, and the mother of King Cheng of Zhou, and was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji was to pray to the Queen Mother, and the Temple of Our Lady was the best place, so he asked Xiao Shami. However, Shami didn't know what he meant, and wondered: "Donor, the Mahavira Hall can pray for blessings, and you can go there!" ”

"Little master, I am praying for my mother, I want to go to the Shrine of Our Lady, I don't know how to go?" Zhao Ji saw that Xiao Shami mistakenly thought that he was praying for himself, and explained.

When the little novice heard this, he realized that he had misunderstood what he meant, and then guided Zhao Ji to the Temple of Our Lady. Under the guidance of the little novice, Zhao Ji found the Temple of Our Lady. The Temple of Our Lady is an important building in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Ji is a nobleman of the king and grandson, so it is natural to go to this hall.

The temple of Our Lady is seven rooms wide, six rooms deep, the heavy eaves rest on the top of the mountain, the yellow-green glazed tiles are cut edges, the hall is 19 meters high. The corridor around the hall, the front porch into two deep rooms, extremely spacious, there are eight wooden carvings on the pillars of the front porch of the hall, all are wooden buildings.

The side angle of the eaves pillar of the main hall rises obviously, giving people a sense of stability, the structure of the hall is a single groove type, that is, there is a row of inner columns, except for the front porch around the hall, are the cloisters of a deep one, constitute the lower eaves. The inside and outside of the hall adopts the "column reduction method", and the corridor columns and eaves pillars support the roof beam frame of the palace, which expands the space in the hall.

Zhao Ji stepped into the hall, there are forty-three statues in the hall, the main image is the Virgin sitting in the wooden shrine, the head chair is, the phoenix crown python robe, the demeanor is dignified. The attendants have their own in their hands, which portrays the life of the court. I saw that the statues were all eyebrows expressive, the shape was chic, lifelike, just like a real person.

Zhao Ji tidied up his clothes, knelt on the futon respectfully, made a big salute, closed his eyes silently, and chanted Buddhist scriptures in his mouth. It wasn't until half an hour that Zhao Ji got up and walked out of the temple of Our Lady with a solemn face. In the hall must be solemn, and when he comes out, he smiles and walks around again.

"I didn't expect that there would be a Mani Hall in this temple?" Zhao Ji walked leisurely, and what caught his eye was a solemn hall, and when he saw the name on it, he showed a slight look of surprise, and remembered that Fang La was the leader of Manichaeism, and thought: "Isn't this hall related to Manichaeism?" ”

Manichaeism doesn't have much to do with the Manichaean Temple, but Zhao Ji was a little surprised when he saw the Manichaean Temple, and he couldn't help but think about it. The Mani Hall was built in the Sui Dynasty, and only used the current name when it was rebuilt in the early Song Dynasty, and the unique building is a unique example in the sea.

The main hall of the Mani Hall is 7 rooms wide and 7 rooms deep, showing a cross-shaped plane, and there is a narrow rectangle of the north-south central axis; The secondary rooms in the two directions of width and depth are narrower than those between the tips, and the layout is peculiar. The roof of the main hall is the top of the mountain with heavy eaves, the mountain flowers are in the middle of the four sides, the mountain type hugging building is carried out in the middle of the mountain flowers, the outer eaves eaves pillar side is built with a closed brick wall, and the internal column network is composed of two circles of inner columns.

The eaves columns are made of coarse timber, with side feet and rising; There is a general pat on the forehead, and the end of the forehead is made of a cirrus head style; Tween paving with a 45° oblique floor. There are doors and windows on all sides, only the eye wall is slightly illuminated, so the lighting and ventilation in the hall are not good. The bucket arch under the eaves is grand, the distribution is sparse, and the configuration is complex.

Zhao Ji was curious, strode over, only to see the doors of the palace open, and without thinking too much, he stepped over the threshold and walked in. Raise your head, on the Buddhist altar in the hall, enshrine five gold colored Buddha statues. In the middle is the seated statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, solemn and dignified, wise and refined; On the left side stands the disciple Ka Ye, holding his fists with both hands, and holding his weight with sincerity; On the right stood the disciple Ananda, with his hands folded, intelligent and pious.

The walls of the hall are also covered with murals with the theme of Buddhist stories, with gorgeous colors, rigorous structure, and smooth lines. However, the most striking thing is the multicolored statue of Guanyin behind the back wall of the inner groove of the Mani Temple, also known as the Guanyin sitting on the back. She changed the image of sitting on the lotus platform in the past, holding the net bottle, sitting leisurely and calmly in the middle of the peaks and mountains, auspicious clouds lingering, and the colorful hanging mountains with mountain springs gushing.

He wears a crown on his head, and a scarf hangs down from his shoulders and floats outward around his arms. The head is slightly on the right side, the body is slightly forward, the left foot is stepping on the multicolored lotus, and the right foot is bent on the left leg. Wrap your right hand around your knee and gently stroke your left wrist. The face is beautiful, the demeanor is quiet, and under the curved and long thin eyebrows, the phoenix eyes are slightly open, looking down slightly.

Zhao Ji couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful pictures unfolding in front of him, and couldn't help but admire: "It's really a masterpiece!" ”

His eyes were attracted by the picture scroll in front of him, and he didn't pay attention to the picture scroll behind him, and he ran into someone coldly, knowing that he was abrupt, he hurriedly lowered his head and apologized: "I was attracted by the picture scroll in front of me, it was really a little abrupt, I hope you forgive me!" ”

"Do you know the mood of this scroll?" The man didn't reproach Zhao Ji for his recklessness, but asked with some curiosity: "Could it be that Gongzi is also a master of skills?" ”

Zhao Ji heard the man's voice with a little surprise, a little delicate in the soft, at first glance it sounded like the yellow warbler out of the valley, the kite cries and the phoenix chirps, crisp and bright but tactful and soft; When I heard it again, it was like the gurgling water, the wind blowing the willows, low back soft and charming and affectionate; Listen carefully again, only to feel that the sky is wide and the clouds are comfortable, the sea is calm and the waves are calm, which makes people open-minded and can't stop.

Immediately, when Zhao Ji raised his head and saw that it was indeed a woman in front of him, he was stunned. At that moment, Zhao Ji knew that he had fallen, and only the shadow of that person was left in his eyes. I saw that the woman's hands in front of me were like soft wattles, her skin was like clotted fat, her collar was like a grub, her teeth were like a rhinoceros, her head was like a moth, she was smiling and smiling, and her beautiful eyes were dizzy.

Zhao Ji was dazed and didn't know that his behavior was a little reckless, his eyes couldn't be removed, and he was completely attracted by the appearance of the woman in front of him. Clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red powder, thin lips like rose petals delicate and dripping, frowning slightly, showing curiosity on his face.

"She is really a rare beautiful woman in the world, like a fairy descending from heaven!" Zhao Ji was shocked and thought secretly.

The man saw that Zhao Ji's gaze had been on his body, and the whole person seemed to be stupid, he was a little angry in his heart, his brows were frowned, his voice was a little angry, and he snorted: "Childe, do you remember what the little woman asked?" ”

Although Zhao Ji was unruly in his eyes, the man was still a little curious about him. Zhao Ji saw that she was a little angry, and hurriedly said: "It's abrupt, what Miss said before, you can tell Miss with certainty that this is your strength, how can you not know!" ”

So, Zhao Ji told his opinions on the vivid paintings in front of him one by one, including the carving techniques and layouts. The woman couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard this, she had never seen anyone with such a deep knowledge of this Tao, and when she saw Zhao Ji's dress and appearance characteristics, she thought: "It turns out that he is a foreigner, no wonder!" ”
