According to the practice of this Buddhist family, this Buddha's finger bone relic is the supreme sacred object of the Buddhist family. Although it is on the eighth day of the fourth month, the Buddha Festival welcomes the finger bone relics for the believers to see; But this detail was pushed forward by seven days, and it began on the first day of the fourth month.

On the first day of the fourth lunar month, I saw Master Xuanzang fasting and bathing, wearing a purple robe, feet on Arhat boots, and a string of thick red sandalwood Buddha beads on his chest, which looked energetic and magnificent. But seeing him, the senior monks who led all the temples in Chang'an City, a group of eighty-one people, walked towards Famen Temple under the backdrop and escort of the canopy honor guard and the soldiers and guards.

After Master Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism has always been much less luxurious, and the pursuit is this simple style, although it is simple, but it is enough to see this kind of spirit and momentum. It has never violated the meaning of this Gaozong Li Zhi and showing the atmosphere of a great country.

With more than 100 small sand gates, they are lined up in an orderly manner along the corridor outside the underground palace of this Famen Temple. The 100-member Buddhist monk orchestra has also been seated on the left side of this underground palace, with the sound of Buddhist musical instruments such as large chimes, wooden fish, chimes, bells, hafnius, cymbals, bells, fish drums, etc. But seeing that Master Xuanzang led these eighty eminent monks, pacing this pious pace, he came to this underground palace with great energy.

After everyone stood still, Master Xuanzang took three steps forward, walked to the incense table that had been prepared, gently picked up the three incense sticks, lit them carefully on the oil lamp, respectfully saluted the three Buddha statues in the hall, and inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner. Then, he led all the monks to perform the three kneeling and nine bowing on the yellow futon that had been placed for a long time.

Subsequently, with these 80 eminent monks, the chanting and prayer ceremony began.

Because Wang Xuance was also the official who was mainly responsible for this invitation, he also led Zhou Chen and the others to this Famen Temple early in the chanting ceremony on the first day.

Looking at this Famen Temple, in addition to the four-story hall above this underground palace, and the three Buddha statues that have been preserved for hundreds of years in it, they are still magnificent, and the place that has been cleaned up for everyone to stand and chant is still clean. The previous houses were not only in ruins, but also depressed and dilapidated, but only a gable remained. And this mountain gate is just a gatehouse, and the door has long been gone.

And the courtyard wall of this Famen Temple has either collapsed long ago or is about to collapse. In the previous Daxiong Treasure Hall, even the Buddha statue was difficult to find, not to mention the Tibetan scripture pavilion, drum tower, meditation hall, second hall, third hall and so on. However, on a wall that looks quite complete, there is a large Buddha character, which looks quite neat, telling that this was a temple before.

Although it is depressed, it can still be seen from the ruined and general framework of this Famen Temple.

Accompanied by Master Xuanzang and others' chanting of scriptures and worshipping the Buddha, this Wang Xuance naturally led Zhou Chen and the others to retreat to this Sangha and quietly observe this grand occasion.

I saw Zhou Zeng, who couldn't sit still, looked east and west, and said to the two of them: "Big brother, I never thought that this Famen Temple was so dilapidated, what if it was discovered by His Majesty?" ”

"As far as you have a lot to do, this situation has been in this situation for more than thirty years, Your Majesty has found out what can be done, if you want him to be magnificent, then you can raise some money to cultivate." Chen Maocai was still singing against Zhou Zeng, and said to him teasingly.

"Eh, you Chen Maocai, I mean, more or less trim this, trim, for example, pick up this brick, and put the wood neatly in a stack, so that Your Majesty looks much more comfortable when he comes, so that there is a great country atmosphere." As soon as Zhou Zeng finished his defense, he was very unconvinced and pinched this Chen Maocai.

"Ah, isn't it bad for you kid" Facing Zhou Zeng's cold look, Chen Maocai casually called out. However, as soon as Ah spoke, he felt rude, and then reached out to cover his mouth.

Wang Xuance immediately glared at the two of them, and whispered: "Pay attention to your words and deeds, this is a grand occasion, and you must not lose your manners."

So the two of them hurriedly and respectfully stood beside Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance looked at the two of them, so he said to them: "I also mentioned this matter to Master Xuanzang, and Master Xuanzang also meant to renovate it and clean it up, but I stopped his thoughts." ”

Hearing this, the two were stunned for a moment. asked in unison: "Big brother, why is this?" ”

"Do you think, if it is renovated and cleaned up, who else will come to rebuild this Famen Temple? Although this overall seems to be unsightly, Master Xuanzang has invited all the monks and virtues in Chang'an City, and this faction is enough to show the great atmosphere of our Tang Dynasty, and after this Buddha finger bone relic is invited, it is not in this Famen Temple for the people to see, but first enter the Ci'en Temple for the people to see, and then welcome into the palace, so that His Majesty and the Queen Mother will be worshiped for a period of time and then sent back to the underground palace of the Famen Temple. In other words, on the day of the invitation, it is better to let His Majesty come and see it. ”

This sentence suddenly made the rather clever Chen Maocai understand.

However, this smug Zhou Zeng was still like an elm pimple head, and he never understood the deep meaning of his words......

Unconsciously, another four days have passed, and on this fourth day it is still divided into three time periods: the first half of the day, the second half of the day, and the evening. The two half-nights before and after each chant for one hour, and the night for half an hour. Of course, during these seven days, there will be various eminent monks and great masters in turn to protect the Dharma.

And so the miracle came in the second half of the fourth day. Although Chen Maocai and Chen Maocai have also followed Master Xuanzang for many years, they have never believed in Buddhism, so these days, although they often accompany this Wang Xuance to wait here, but without the shackles of this Buddhist faith, they seem to be a lot more relaxed. No, at this time, this week Zeng really couldn't stand this spring sleep, although with Wang Xuance sat peacefully on the futon after this sangha, but at this moment he had quietly fallen asleep. And Chen Maocai is still sitting on this futon, adhering to a sincere heart, quietly accompanying Wang Xuance.

When Master Xuanzang led the monks to carry out the chanting ceremony in the afternoon. Suddenly, I heard the sound of cracking under the Buddha statue in this hall. This voice is neither big nor small, although the Buddha is safe and sound, and the Sanskrit sound is pervasive, but this burst of cracking sound is enough for everyone to hear clearly and clearly.
