Chapter 2 Stupa (1)
In 1276 A.D., Yuan Shizu (孛子 Zhijin • Kublai Khan) to the thirteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan army captured the Southern Song Dynasty capital Lin'an (Hangzhou) and captured the 5-year-old Southern Song Emperor Gongzong. At this time, the whole territory of the Southern Song Dynasty has been completely included in the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, but the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie and others successively supported two young emperors to insist on resistance. Originally, the ancestor thought that he would hand over the matter to the national teacher Pa Si Pa himself, but Pa Si Pa was old and decided to return to Tibet, so he allowed his disciple Yang Lian Zhenjia to act on his behalf after thinking about it for many days. Yang Lian Zhengyala is a close disciple of the Phags-pa Guru, with a very high level of understanding, since he was a child, he has been with him for many years, and has benefited a lot from his words and deeds.
In the fourteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the ancestor ordered Yang Lian Zhenjia to serve as the president of the Jiangnan Shijiao Capital, to take charge of the affairs of Buddhism in Jiangnan and secretly find the "dragon vein" of the Southern Song Dynasty. Yang Lian Zhenjia acted on behalf of the teacher for the first time for fear of a slight inadvertent damage to the master's reputation, is to double the heart, in the year of the appointment to find the Southern Song Dynasty dragon vein is where the emperor's mausoleum, by the secret of the ancestor to the Tantric "victory" method, to eliminate the Southern Song Dynasty "Wang Qi", the suppression of its "dragon vein", after being approved, to wait for one night to order people to burn down the Southern Song Dynasty six tombs and its Forbidden City, afterwards on the grounds of small theft, homeless arson, ordered Yun Ze, Rui Du to do all the people who act, Immediately asked the imperial court to allocate funds to build five temples and one tower on the site of the Southern Song Dynasty Forbidden City on Phoenix Mountain on Hangzhou Road, in order to prevent thieves from destroying the tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty emperors, and all the bones of the six emperors were moved to the tower for safekeeping.
To the sixteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Dabaoguo Temple, Xingyuan Temple, Praruo Temple, Xianlin Temple, Baita Temple and Zunsheng Pagoda were completed one after another, Yang Lian Zhenjia then ordered Yunze and Rui Du to take people to excavate the tomb of the Southern Song Emperor, suddenly one day the subordinates reported urgently, said that a hole was dug out in the Yongmu Mausoleum, the white light ran through the sun, and the treasure was full of energy. When Yang Lian Zhenjia heard this, he hurriedly rushed to Yongmu Mausoleum to inspect. Smell this mausoleum is the tomb of Zhao Yun of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yang Lian Zhenjia secretly thinks that Song Lizong is the longest reigning person among the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty, if it is not for the blessing of God, and its mausoleum presents this vision, most of the Southern Song Dynasty "dragon vein" is hidden here. He ordered someone to open the coffin of Li Zong, and saw that his body was intact, with no signs of decay, only a huge and abnormal head. Yang Lian Zhenjia expected that this must be caused by the "dragon vein" auspicious acupoint, so he cast a spell to close this "dragon vein", and ordered people to put the bones of the six emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty into six wooden boxes and move them to the Zunsheng Pagoda for safekeeping, and then secretly made Yun Ze to steal the head of Song Lizong who stored the treasure of the "dragon vein", and made it into a magic weapon - 'Zhennan Gabala' with Tibetan secret method. In this year, the Yuan army defeated the Song army in the Battle of Yashan, and the late Song Emperor Zhao Yu was martyred with the prime minister Lu Xiufu, and the Southern Song Dynasty was completely destroyed. The ancestor was overjoyed when he heard the news, and then he paid special attention to Yang Lian Zhenjia, but the good times did not last long, to the seventeenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the national teacher Ba Si Pa passed away in the Sakya Temple, and the successor of the national teacher Dharmabara and Yang Lian Zhenjia Although the teacher came out of the same school, but in the way of governing the country. Although the ancestor knew that the building of the tower was actually to cover up and suppress the "dragon vein" of the Southern Song Dynasty, it didn't matter if the bones in the tower were really there, but the reason was not to be humane, Yang Lian Zhenjia also knew that the ancestor was in trouble, and it was expected that even if this matter was stopped, Dama Bala could not tolerate himself, so he resigned at the same time as Yun Ze and Rui Dushi, and since then he has traveled to study the world and devoted himself to practicing the tantric "golden law".
The wind of Phoenix Mountain is slight, the smoke and water of West Lake are vast, the white tower of twenty zhang is majestic, and the ten-mile Quyuan is fragrant. It is advisable to wear heavy makeup in the morning and evening, and it is advisable for Xizi to wear heavy makeup. The tail and tail are picturesque, and the song is full of joy and spring. Summer rain and winter snow, spring fog and autumn frost. There is heaven above Zhennai, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.
In August, although it is rainy, Hangzhou is still hot and hot, and only after dusk can it be a little cool. 'Zunsheng Tower' is located on the Phoenix Mountain, the left looks at the West Lake, the right overlooks the Qianjiang River, the tower is more than 20 zhang high, the whole body is white, its shape resembles a pot, the folk also call 'a bottle tower', 'white tower'. At the beginning of construction, Yang Lian Zhenjia ordered craftsmen to build this tower with the stone tablet of the Southern Song Dynasty Forbidden City and the stone of the Song Dynasty Tombs after the burning, it is a solid texture, the underground palace under the tower collects the bones of the six emperors of the Song Dynasty, and some books, Buddha statues and some sundries are placed in the tower. Unexpectedly, a few years later, this tower was struck by lightning overnight, only five zhang on the ground, the rest of the part was destroyed, due to lack of funds, the abbot of the White Pagoda Temple had to repair this tower hastily, and sent someone to take care of the cleaning on weekdays.
At this moment, Dao Yan is carefully passing a fragrant leaf picked when picking up food through the wick, and after injecting the lamp oil, the leaves will float slightly in the lamp like a boat, lighting the wick, and suddenly a wisp of fragrance comes, and the fatigue of the day is slightly relieved. Opening the food box, Dao Yan was surprised to find that there was a small piece of "Ruyi" and a thin piece of "agate roll" on the rice (Buddhists oppose the name of vegetarian meat, thinking that this is a violation of the "intention to kill", so they call the vegetarian fish "Ruyi", and call the vegetarian sausage "agate roll"), thinking: "The birthday of the Bodhisattva has passed, and the birthday of the Buddha has not yet arrived. Cough, what do you have to do with me, finish your meal quickly, go to the well to pick up tomorrow's water while it's cool, and rest early when you come back. So Meimei enjoyed the piece of "agate roll" and put away the piece of "Ruyi" and prepared to eat it tomorrow. After cleaning up, Dao Yan picked up the flat pole outside the tower gate, hung up the wooden barrel, lit the lantern, recited the Buddhist scriptures that he was studying recently, and walked towards the 'Phoenix Well'.
This 'Phoenix Well' was originally a main well in the imperial kitchen of the Forbidden City of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it was abandoned after the Forbidden City burned down, and the temples were re-drilled in the temple after the completion of each temple. Dao Yan also flipped through the books in the Southern Song Dynasty Palace Museum in his spare time, and accidentally found a record of this well, and searched for several days before discovering this well. Although the water in the 'Phoenix Well' on the same Phoenix Mountain is more sweet than other well water, it is as smooth as oil, warm in winter and cool in summer, and it makes people feel more refreshed after drinking. The distance from "Zunsheng Pagoda" to "Phoenix Well" is closer than the mountain road of several miles to Baita Temple, so Daoyan often goes here to get water, in addition to going to the temple every day to get food, he cleans the pagoda on weekdays. One day, I suddenly found a guqin when sorting out the debris pile, this piano is green all over, it seems to be made of paulownia trees, the lacquer of the piano has tortoiseshell-like broken lines, but unfortunately the tail has been scorched, I think it is the relics after the burning of the Forbidden City of the Southern Song Dynasty, plucked the strings and seemed to be available, and remembered that I had seen a few books such as piano scores and fingering when I was in the collection of books in the tower in the past, so I found it out, and then I read and played the piano in my spare time, and the days were not boring.
