Chapter 329: Staying at Huayan Temple

Walking out of the carriage, Yang Zhen saw a magnificent temple in front of him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although it was night, he could still see that the temple was extremely extensive, more than the governor's yamen he had visited before, and that it was different from the darkness of ordinary people's homes at night, and there were still many lights in the temple in front of him at this time, and under the dim or bright lights, the temple was even more mysterious and extraordinary.

After looking at the outline of the entire temple from a distance, Yang Zhen pulled his gaze back to his eyes, only to see a tall, more than three zhang high mountain gate standing not far away, engraved with three strong and powerful characters - Huayan Temple, at a glance you know that it is from the hand of a famous artist.

When Yang Zhen was still looking left and right in front of the temple gate, a handsome middle-aged monk had slowly come to them, first saluted, and after calling Amitabha Buddha, he asked Zhong Yu: "Is the donor here to borrow the order?" "The voice is extremely gentle and magnetic, making people listen like a spring breeze.

Zhong Yu also looked solemn at this time, and he also saluted, and his self-proclaimed self-proclaimed official had changed from his usual official to being below: "It is under the bottom, dare to ask the master the law?" ”

"The poor monk is Hongshan, a guest monk of Huayan Temple, and he has seen Lord Qincha!" The monk saluted respectfully again, and at the same time, one of the young monks who followed him quickly ran back to the temple.

A moment later, the already flickering lights of the temple shone brightly, and a group of monks wearing robes and looking extremely solemn walked out of the mountain gate with a firm stride. Although the first monk looked like he had eyebrows, he was still in good spirits, full of red light, and when he saw Zhong Yu, he smiled, and said while saluting with his palms: "Sure enough, it is Zhong Tanyue, the old monk is here to see the salute." ”

"Master of the Three Rings, don't come unharmed?" When Zhong Yu saw him, he was also overjoyed, and quickly stepped forward to return the salute. Seeing this, Yang Zhen also followed him a few steps forward and greeted a group of monks.

"With the blessing of the Buddha and the blessing of Zhong Tanyue, the old monk's old bones are quite passable, and there is neither illness nor disaster." Sanjie smiled, and then solemnly introduced several monks who came out with him to welcome Zhong Yu and Yang Zhen.

After a long period of fighting, this set of false etiquette was finally dealt with. Yang Zhen also finally knew that these monks who came out of the mountain gate were some of the great monks in Huayan Temple, in addition to presiding over the abbot's three precepts, there were also the first three virtues, the three sources of the temple and others, they were all kind and kind-eyed, and the treasure was solemn, and at first glance they were people who practiced Buddhism deeply, and those monks who only knew how to do business in later generations were completely different from the existence.

When Zhong Yu introduced Yang Zhen to several monks, Sanjie's expression changed slightly after glancing at Yang Zhen. But after a while, he still saluted Yang Zhen very kindly, and then led them into the mountain gate.

"I'm really ashamed this time, but I'm going to disturb the master's Qing cultivation. And it's very formless, and it's not just a few attachés. After stepping into the monastery territory, Zhong Yu couldn't help but look back at the Qincha guards who followed in, there were enough of two hundred people.

"Zhong Tanyue is really too polite. Buddhism is vast, since the door of convenience should be opened, since Tan Yue has requirements, I Huayan Temple should be satisfied. The Master of the Three Rings smiled, as if it meant to help others.

But when Yang Zhen heard this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "The old monk said it well, that's because you are entertaining the imperial court, which is also a good thing for you Huayan Temple." If ordinary people want to take refuge in your temple and live with a few people, see if you can still talk so well. But he just thought about this kind of thing in his heart, the other party was extremely polite and polite to them after all, so he couldn't be so nitpicky.

Accompanied by the monks, Yang Zhen and their heavy temple gate and courtyard gate continued to go deeper, through the light to see the many courtyards in the Huayan Temple, in the middle of the position, the most splendid, solemn and solemn Daxiong Bao Palace, Zhong Yu stopped.

The Three Ring Masters had already prepared, and as soon as they saw him stop, a little monk offered a few sticks of high incense and handed them to Zhong Yu and Yang Zhen respectively. The two respectfully took it, and slowly walked into the Mahavira Hall dedicated to the Buddha.

This high incense is the thickness of a child's arm, if it is placed in those famous temples in later generations, I am afraid that it will not cost hundreds or thousands to burn such a few burns. But today, Yang Zhen is obviously the light that occupies the identity of Qincha, and this kind of high incense is naturally burned for free.

Although Yang Zhen has never been interested in Buddhism and other religious sects, since he has arrived in the temple, he still has to have the respect he should have, so he is also very respectful like Zhong Yu kneeling down to Shakyamuni with incense and praying, and then inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner outside.

After being busy with this set of procedures, everyone continued to move forward. Zhong Yu knew that Yang Zhen was here for the first time, so he casually explained to Yang Zhen the origin of this Huayan Temple: "This Huayan Temple was built in the hands of the Liao people - this Liao people, that is, the Khitan country that stood side by side with my Han Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Qianhu should have heard of it, right?" He was really afraid that Yang Zhen would ask what dynasty Liao was, and it would be a bit embarrassing.

However, he was a little worried about this, as long as he had gone to school in later generations, he would always have a general concept of Liao, not to mention that Yang Zhen had tutored his brother Yang Chen for a while of historical knowledge. Therefore, after hearing his words, he smiled and nodded: "The country built by the Khitan Yelu clan is not much different from my Han country in the middle period, no wonder it can build a treasure temple of such a scale." ”

Seeing that he could say such things about the Liao people, Zhong Yu was quite pleased, it seems that this Yang Qianhu is indeed not only a martial artist, but also far superior to ordinary people in terms of knowledge. This made him even more fond of Yang Zhen.

After smiling and nodding, he continued: "This temple was built in the Liao Chongxi period, and it has a history of more than 600 years. The Huayan is the Buddhist classic Huayan Sutra. The temple is named after the scriptures that "the flower of compassion will bear solemn fruits", and it is an authentic Buddhist holy place. At the beginning, the Liao people regarded this temple as the temple of other countries, and its status was extremely prominent. ”

The monks who followed them around them were also overjoyed when they heard Zhong Yu's introduction to their own temple. Although the disciples of Buddhism should have no joy or hatred, it is obvious that the cultivation of these people is not enough to reach such a level.

Although Yang Zhen was not very interested in this, after listening to Zhong Yu's words, he couldn't help but have a little more respect for this famous temple with a far-reaching history. This kind of ancient temple is like a person, and it is still there after hundreds of years, which is a wealth for future generations.

It's a pity that the ancients still knew how to preserve these cultural heritages, but in later generations, many things that were preserved by their ancestors were destroyed by the ignorant people, which cannot but be said to be a great regret and irony.

However, because this is the temple of the Liao Kingdom, when Jin destroyed Liao, Huayan Temple also suffered a catastrophe. Fortunately, Buddhism is vast, and it cannot be wiped out by just one golden country. Soon after, the temple was rebuilt by believers and monks. And the Huayan Temple that you and I see today is a temple that was built hundreds of years before and after the Ming Dynasty, and it is better than the Liao Kingdom. ”

After Zhong Yu finished explaining the historical changes of Huayan Temple, they had come to the back of the temple, and what they saw in front of them was a quiet and elegant Zen temple.

The master of the three rings took a few steps forward and smiled at Zhong Yuheshi: "Zhong Tanyue, this is the place where this temple has prepared for you, and I hope you don't dislike the small temple for being deserted." ”

"The master is so polite. I was warmly entertained by the master when I came down to your temple before, and today I took the liberty of bringing these many people here, and the master had to vacate many meditation rooms for us, which really made me feel sorry not to go anywhere. Zhong Yu hurriedly thanked him again.

Tan Yue said seriously. The temple has always prepared residences for donors and monks who come from afar, and these monasteries are prepared for this. Therefore, it is not deliberate, Tan Yue does not have to mind. As he spoke, Sanjie gave another salute: "It's not too early, the donors have come from afar, and they must be tired of traveling and traveling, so they will rest here." Tomorrow, the poor monks will come to visit you again. ”

"Master go slowly!" Zhong Yu did feel a little tired at this time, so he was not polite, and after saluting again with several other monks, he watched them return the way they came.

"Alright, now that we've come, let's go our separate ways." Zhong Yu looked at the Zen courtyards that were enough to accommodate these two hundred people, and then said to Tang He, who came with him: "Just make an arrangement for Tang Qian, and divide the soldiers into various rooms to rest." We'll settle here for the next few days. ”

"Whoa!" Tang He agreed, and according to their respective identities, they assigned rooms to the sergeants. Of course, the two courtyards in the middle and the best naturally belonged to Zhong Yu and Yang Zhen, as well as their attachés. The others just stood on either side of them in the form of arch guards.

And Tang Qian obviously learned the lesson of the previous danger in Xin County, even if he felt that there should be no danger in Huayan Temple, he still sent a few soldiers to patrol and guard at night. That way, if something happens, they can respond quickly.

After Yang Zhen sent Mo Chong and Cai Yingyang to the side room to rest, he also entered the meditation room in the middle. I saw that in addition to hanging a few Buddhist verses in the room, it was no different from an ordinary inn. The same bed, the same bedding, and a few cups and a pot of still warm tea on the table, it can be seen that this Huayan Temple is still very careful.

After Yang Zhen washed up a little, he went to bed honestly and unceremoniously, only luckily lucked the Qingfeng trick, and gradually became sleepy because of the hard work along the way and the relaxation of finally arriving at the destination, and quickly fell asleep......
