Chapter 58: Standing a stone monument in front of Dajue Temple, blocking the gift treasure in front of the Bodhi tree (I)

One party sincerely prepares to pay homage to the Buddha's relics. The other side is plotting how to use power to reclaim this treasure again. Everything in the world is like this, you sing it, I will appear, what kind of ending will it be, follow the text and go down.

After these three days of fasting and bathing, Wang Xuance and others used the most pious etiquette and sincere faith to welcome the supreme glory that should belong to them. Because the people of China have had the tradition of remembering stone tablets since ancient times, in order to show solemnity, Wang Xuance and Zhou Chen also had such an idea after some discussion.

Of course, the commemorative activities of this stone monument are also very solemn and solemn. But after thinking about it for a long time, Wang Xuance dipped it in ink, and on the precious rice paper he carried, he wrote a sincere and sincere article with a splash of ink, and then asked Master Xuanhui to arrange for the monks to carve the hairpin into a tablet. On the day of respect, it will be revealed to the world.

In the blink of an eye, as everything went in order, the time came to this fourth day, the so-called auspicious day of the Buddha. On this day, not only is the sun shining, but also the breeze is breezy, and there is not much heat at all, and the green trees reflect the sun, bathing the entire Dajue Temple, as well as the Bodhi tree, which seems so peaceful and quiet.

But seeing this day, this Wang Xuance led more than 30 people from the Tang Dynasty Mission, except for the Mingguang armor, all of them changed into clean and tidy official uniforms of various colors of the Tang Dynasty, and waited in line outside this Daxiong Hall for the time being. And Master Xuanhui led the monks early, in the Daxiong Hall of the Great Awakening Temple, sincerely chanted the Buddha and invited the Buddha to come. Although this Daxiong Treasure Hall is very solemn and solemn, the Buddha's voice is curling, but in the middle of this Buddha case, there is a gold Ashoka Pagoda that is one or two feet high, and in this Ashoka Pagoda, there is a gold treasure of about four inches, and in this treasure Han, the supreme treasure of this Dajue Temple is enshrined safely.

After the chanting ceremony of the Buddha was completed with their salutation, they saw that this Xuanhui Master led two junior disciples, escorted by ten disciples to the door of the Mahavira Temple. With a smile on his face, he bowed to Wang Xuance: "The master of Dajue Temple, Xuanhui, respectfully invites the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to come to watch and worship the Buddha." ”

Wang Xuance led Zhou Chen and the others, and also replied with a smile on his face: "The envoy of the Tang Kingdom, Zuo Xiaowei Dachangshi, and the Chaosan doctor Wang Xuance, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, thank you for your warm welcome." ”

So, under the guidance of Master Xuanhui, Wang Xuance and the others walked into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which was about ten zhang square. At the same time, under his guidance, they immediately walked along the statue of the Buddha for such a week, and observed the solemnity of the Buddha statue.

After this salute, he saw that Wang Xuance immediately came to the front of this Buddha statue. Gently pick up the three sticks of incense and carefully light it on the oil lamp. He sat down sincerely and saluted, accompanied by the sound of the Buddha, and knelt in front of the statue of the Buddha. He prayed not only for the prosperity of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, but also for the peace and security of the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the peace and security of their trip.

After the salute was completed, Zhou Chen and the others also made a sincere salute on behalf of all the envoys of the Tang Mission. Immediately afterwards, Master Xuanhui led the way in front, along the escort road composed of many monks, escorted by two senior monks, carrying this golden Ashoka Pagoda, out of the main gate of this Dajue Temple, and came to this Bodhi tree.

After placing this Ashoka pagoda in front of this Bodhi tree, it was still this Xuanhui Master who took the lead in saluting, but after seeing him pick up three sticks of incense, he sincerely saluted. Accompanied by the sound of Buddha and the music of Buddhism, it was still Wang Xuance who followed his agenda and made a sincere prayer. In this prosperous situation where the flag is fluttering and the Buddha's voice is curling, everything seems to be so orderly and solemn.

After the ceremony was completed, I saw that under Wang Xuance's instructions, Zhou Chen and the others both dragged the mahogany tray, one presented a purple robe, and the other presented a seven-treasure ring knife. After Wang Xuance took them one by one, he respectfully placed them on the incense table in front of the Bodhi tree.

But seeing his sincere salute again, he said: "Today, Wang Xuance, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, specially obeys the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Empress Mother, and sends an envoy to the five Indian countries. I beg the Buddha to bless the thousands of people of the Tang Dynasty, so that the wind and rain will be smooth, and the country and the people will be safe. ”

Immediately after the words, he knelt upright on the bright yellow futon and made these three prostrations. On both sides of this incense case, the Buddhist chanting group composed of hundreds of people gradually entered a climax with Wang Xuance's prayers.

After this ceremony, and accompanied by the sound of Buddha and Buddhist music, under the signal of Wang Xuance, but seeing a group of Tang envoys, they immediately carried out a stone tablet covered with red silk that had just been carved by Master Xuanhui's disciples.

But I saw that the stele was three feet high. Because it has been prepared in advance, so, in front of this Dajue Temple, not far from the Bodhi tree, there is this stele base that has been prepared in advance. Immediately afterwards, under Wang Xuance's instructions, a group of envoys from the Tang Dynasty placed this stele on the foundation of the tower that had been made in a dignified manner.

According to this established agenda, the unveiling ceremony was carried out by the two of them. Therefore, this Wang Xuance was quite polite and invited Master Xuanhui to come: "Master please"

With a lot of laughter, the two walked up to the stone tablet, accompanied by the melodious sound of Buddha music and the climax of chanting. Under the gentle pull of the two people, the stele was unveiled.

But seeing this inscription, it is written: In the former Han Dynasty, Wei Junlin, poor soldiers, 100,000 soldiers, 100,000 soldiers, thousands of gold per day, still in the north of Khotanyan, Dongfeng is impatient; Datang cage Liuhe, Dao crown hundred kings; Wende added, Pu Tian attached. It is the old body that poisons the countries, and the customs return to sincerity. The emperor was sorry for his loyalty, and he ordered Zuo Xiaowei Dachangshi Wang Xuance and other 33 people to patrol his country. Then to the Mahabodhi Temple. The seat of King Kong under the Bodhi tree in its temple is a thousand Buddhas, and it is enlightened in the middle. The view is good, and it has a true appearance; The spiritual tower is pure, and it is skillfully poor outside the world; This is unseen in the Kuang Dynasty and unknown in historical records. The emperor is far away from the Hongfeng, and the Guanghua Dao tree; The fate of the people, the time to pay respect. This peerless event, immortal miracle; How to sing silently, and those who don't pass on gold and stone. It is the inscription that says: Datang Fuyun, Yingtu Shouchang. Turning into six combinations, mighty and eight wilderness. The body is poisonous and ugly, and the Taoist is the king. The Invention Envoy, Junth Dojo. The seat of King Kong, a thousand Buddhas live on behalf of each other. Dignity is good, Maitreya scale. The spiritual pagoda is magnificent, and the road tree is sparse. Immortal, divine power. ”

This is the first inscription set up by Wang Xuance and others after entering the five Tianzhu, but it is not the last one. Although this inscription was only written by Wang Xuance in an hour, it is enough to show the confidence and calmness of Wang Xuance and others.

With the end of this monument ceremony, the next step is the process of Wang Xuance and others accepting the gift of this great treasure of Dajue Temple from this Xuanhui Master. With this Xuanhui Master, with the two great monks of the Dajue Temple, he slowly lifted the Ashoka Pagoda, which is full of treasures. And Wang Xuance also led Zhou Chen and the others, respectfully preparing to take it. Suddenly, not far away, not only was there a mighty city, but also under the guidance of Aya Luo Huagai, a large group of people came.
