Chapter 230: Burning incense in the temple
Early in the morning of the second day, two ox carts were set, incense and candles were presented, and Gao Feng accompanied the daughters of the Gao family to Yongning Temple in the north of the city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty Yongping early years, Xizhu Buddhism was introduced into the Middle Earth, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty established Yongning Temple in Feng' County and Luoyang at the same time (Luoyang Yongning Temple is commonly known as the White Horse Temple), Yongning Temple in Feng's County of the Northern Qi Dynasty was renamed Baita Temple, it was destroyed in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, renamed Daocheng Temple to Sui Chongli, and then abolished, rebuilt when Taizong of Tang Dynasty was renamed Chongguang Temple, and Song Dazhong Xiangfu was renamed Yongning Temple in four years.
The emperors of the past dynasties attached great importance to the Yongning Temple in Feng' County, so the construction scale was magnificent, and the "Seven Halls of Jialan" were formed intermittently, which was the famous temple within a radius of 100 miles.
Feng' county has no mountains and no lakes, so Yongning Temple is not by the mountains and rivers, it is located in the northwest corner of the city Sanheli, from the south of the city to the north of the city, the peak of the group to walk more than ten miles.
Because it was a prayer for blessings, everyone looked solemn and solemn, but Gao Feng did not have that thought. In his opinion, praying for the blessing of the gods is just seeking comfort in the heart, in fact, everything has to rely on yourself, otherwise you burn incense and worship the Buddha at home every day, and you can live a good life?
So when he was bored on the road, he asked a few words: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, what do you want to pray for in the temple this time?" ”
Hearing this question, Wang Keyjiao didn't care much, she said: "Bless everyone safe and sound." ”
Li Wenjuan's face turned red, and she glanced at Gao Feng and said, "Pray that the third child will be a bigger official, and we will all enjoy happiness." ”
This is reasonable, the bigger the official, the corresponding improvement of the status of the family, plus there is a business, under the combination of the two, it is impossible to say that you do not enjoy happiness.
However, Li Wenjuan's change in demeanor still made Gao Feng pay attention, and he suddenly remembered that she had no heirs, and Shangxiang should still have this intention this time.
Thinking of this, he thought of Yan Jizhong again, it's a pity, this Yan Jizhong has the name of a disciple of a divine doctor, and he knows a lot in theory, but his hands-on ability is too poor, otherwise, maybe Li Wenjuan's mind would have been over a long time ago.
However, he still said to Li Wenjuan: "Sister-in-law, I know a miracle doctor...... disciple, let him help you and your eldest brother take a look one day. ”
The reason why I say this is because Gao Feng felt that Gao Hai and his wife had begun to be anxious, they had a stable life, and naturally wanted to ask for a good future and grandchildren.
Although he is not at ease with Yan Jizhong, he has a solid theoretical foundation, and the progress made by Qian Yi in the treatment of infertility has been passed on to him, maybe he can really see some fame, and Gao Feng still has certain expectations for this.
Of course, he will not fight uncertain battles, and he will definitely ask a well-known doctor to help check the gates, and the two will consult together to prescribe medicine, so that he can be safe.
"We're not sick, what ...... let him see?" Li Wenjuan didn't understand what Gao Feng meant, she said it instinctively, but she understood before she finished speaking, so she blushed and said: "Your eldest brother and I have invited a lot of doctors to see it, but it has no effect, I'm afraid that this time it will be ......."
Gao Feng hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, how can you know if it has an effect if you don't try?" You've all seen it countless times, and I don't care about this time, and I think that as long as there is a hope, you have to fight for it with a hundred times the effort, so that you have no regrets. ”
Hearing this, Li Wenjuan seemed to have made up her mind and said: "Third child, you have a heart, I'll discuss it with your brother when I go back, and let someone come over." ”
Li Wenjuan didn't know that Gao Feng's invitation was a half-bottle of vinegar, otherwise she would never agree. It's just that out of trust in Gao Feng, she didn't think much about it.
Yongning Temple is a big temple, the people in the surrounding area have something to ask, are willing to come here to pray for blessings, several people in the peak have seen good men and women on the road to rush to the direction of Yongning Temple.
The big temple is good, you look at this flow of people, the incense must be very strong. Gao Feng hurried forward while thinking, and soon heard the bell ringing in the temple.
A few steps further, it is close to the temple, the sound of chanting and chanting Buddha comes from afar, and the peak can't help but look forward.
There is a big courtyard in front, the red wall is blue tile, the high eaves are wide and the wall is wide, and the rows of buildings and monks in the wall are scattered, and it is a majestic and solemn temple.
Approaching again, I have seen the spacious and heavy temple gate open, and the three words "Yongning Temple" are hung high above the temple gate.
At this time, there were many people who burned morning incense, and the flow of people was endless, and Gao Feng and his party walked into the temple gate.
Entering the temple and then looking, sure enough, it is "seven halls of Garan", the main hall, the pavilion, the monk's garden, the monastery, the hall are numerous, all available, forming a quadrangle layout.
Everyone had never seen such a building, and they all lingered to watch, but they did not forget their original intention, and they rushed to the main hall in a moment.
Gao Feng was not interested in burning incense, so he took a leave of absence and lingered at the gate of the temple.
Looking into the distance, he observed the structure of the entire temple for a while, and then reached out and grabbed a passing monk.
"Amitabha, the donor is invited." The monk joined hands and praised the Tao.
"Master is polite, I have something to ask." Gao Feng said.
"May I ask the donor?" The monk asked.
"I want to give alms, in addition, can you ask a monk to solve your doubts?" Gao Feng said.
Of course, he knew that the temple was about sincerity, and this sincerity was related to the amount of charity to a certain extent, so he wanted to spend money to buy sincerity.
Asking the monks is also for the old lady and others, let the monks solve their doubts, maybe everyone can feel at ease, then this trip to Yongning Temple is not in vain.
Of course, he didn't think that these monks could really help him solve his confusion, if there are such a divine figure, how could they stay in this kind of temple?
"Amitabha, may I ask the donor what to give?" The monk asked.
A good snobbish little monk, Gao Feng sighed secretly and said: "One hundred taels of silver, in addition, I have all the candles used in your temple, yes, I will pack it for a year first, and if it is good, you can wrap it again." ”
His meaning is obvious, it depends on whether the monk you invite is on the Tao, if you can make the old lady and others happy, naturally everything is easy to say.
"Huh?" It's just that as soon as he finished saying this, the monk first exclaimed, and then said, "Amitabha." ”
The monk exclaimed, not because of a hundred taels of silver, but because of the candle, which was a huge number.
According to the current degree of the cost of candles, it is impossible to use all candles in the temple, except for a few places such as the main hall to burn incense, the rest of the places are only tung oil lamps, Gao Feng said that he had a year's worth of candles, that was a big deal, he had to exclaim.
It's just that he saw that Gao Feng didn't seem to be playing with his pen, so he said: "Recently, Master Dekong of Wutai Mountain preached Buddhism in this temple, and he can be asked to help the donor solve his doubts." ”
"Oh?" Gao Feng questioned for a moment, he thought that the other party would arrange for the host of the temple to receive him personally? It turned out to be a wandering monk, but I don't know who is more powerful between this monk and the boss of the temple.
Gao Feng smiled and asked, "Master, is the host of your temple here?" "He's just probing the wind and wanting to know about the situation in Yongning Temple. (To be continued.) )
