Chapter 25: Tianqing Temple (I)
At dinner, Liu Xun was sent back, along with a large box of clothes. Liu Yong, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, watched his mother put new sheets and quilts on Liu Xun and himself, and did not find the blue bricks that had been dug up in the corner, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The second day is the Zhongyuan Festival, Mu got up early, and spread the practice leaves prepared last night on the table in the main hall, on which were put on various melons and fruits for the ancestors, and the legs of the table were tied with the ghost of the grain and grain, which was to report to the ancestors the harvest of the grain fields at home and the abundance of the grain storehouse.
Because today is the Midyear Festival, most of them fast vegetarian food, so when it was time to eat breakfast, Liu Yong looked at the table full of vegetarian dishes, and muttered a little unhappily, but Liu Xun ate very happily.
Meng Banxian's old rules, go to school as usual. The boring morning passed like this, but to everyone's surprise, just as the students were about to pack up their things and go home for lunch, Meng Banxian suddenly announced that he would take everyone to Tianqing Temple in the afternoon.
"When did Meng Banxian 'find out his conscience'? He even wanted to take us out to play. ”
Walking out of the classroom, Liu Yong looked at Meng Banxian, who had walked away, and asked Yang Zhang suspiciously.
"What's so fun going to Tianqing Temple? It's not Qingming. ”
Yang Zhang yawned, not believing that Meng Banxian would have a "conscience discovery".
Tianqing Temple was built in the Later Zhou Dynasty, only more than 100 years ago. Whenever the Qingming season, the spring comes early on the busy platform, the peach and plum compete for spring, the willows are still in place, the clear clouds and green trees, the palace is magnificent, the people of Tokyo City have to carry wine and food, drink and write poems, watch dances and listen to operas, enjoy flowers and grasses, burn incense and worship Buddha, it is a good place for outings.
However, it was the middle of July......
"Then why do you want to go to Tianqing Temple?"
"I'll find out soon in the afternoon."
Yang Zhang shrugged his shoulders and replied.
In the afternoon, Liu Yong and Liu Xun went to school with meat buns.
Before going home yesterday, Liu Yong thought that his mother would not agree to take in the meat bun by himself, so he separated from the meat bun in the alley at the door of his house, and asked it to go back to the place where he used to stay, and then think about how to settle it well.
"Good girl, you're so generous. This lame big yellow dog eats better than me, and I ate a day's vegetarian today. ”
Liu Yong bought five more big buns for the meat bun under the Longjin Bridge, and then turned around and threw them to the meat bun, which happened to be seen by Yang Zhang.
"My meat bun is so thin, of course I have to make up for it. Also, it has a name, remember, called meat buns. ”
Liu Yong rolled his eyes at Yang Zhang and said.
"Oh, it's quite vivid."
Yang Zhang watched the meat bun swallow a meat bun that was bigger than his fist in one gulp, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but sigh.
"That's, and I don't want to know who started it."
Liu Yong shook his hair arrogantly, then patted the head of the meat bun and said:
"Hurry up and eat, you won't have anything to eat when you get to Tianqing Temple in a while."
......
Tenseiji Temple is located in the southeast of the outer city of Tokyo, not far from the private school. The students gathered at the private school and set off under the leadership of Mr. Meng.
After Tongyu Street, you can see the nine-story six-sided tower in the distance (Fannian Boyin, as for why, I don't know, Kaifeng people all read it like this).
Fan Tower, built on the Fan platform in the southeast of Kaifeng Outer City, originally called Xingci Tower, because it was built in Tianqing Temple, many people called it Tianqing Temple Tower.
It is said that this place was originally a martial arts platform, and Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang once read martial arts here. The former dynasty Xiande two years began to build the tower, the day of completion, it happened to be the birthday of Emperor Zhou Shizong Chai "Tianqing Festival", so the temple was named Tianqing Temple. Later, Taizu of this dynasty ascended the throne, and Emperor Zhou Gong also lived here for some time.
After about half an hour, the group came to Tianqing Temple.
Entering Tianqing Temple, all of a sudden, a different atmosphere from usual was revealed.
I saw that the inside and outside of Tianqing Temple were full of soldiers with spears in their hands, and the sound of chanting lingered in their ears.
Every Midyear Festival, the official family will send chariots and horses to the Taoist Temple (that is, Pu'an Temple, the people of Tokyo are accustomed to call it the Taoist Temple) to pay homage to the grave, and the Taoist Temple will set up a general meeting to burn the money mountain, worship the loyal souls who have been the emperor and Song Dynasty for the past years, and set up a lonely soul dojo.
As a royal temple, Tianqing Temple will naturally have officials sent by the official family to worship, so Meng Banxian led the students to the side hall to offer incense.
"Isn't this Mr. Meng? What is the so-called thing about coming to Tianqing Temple today? ”
As soon as the incense was finished, before the students all came out of the side hall, a middle-aged man wearing a crimson round-necked robe came to him, only to see that he was wearing a rhinoceros leather belt around his waist, and each piece of more than ten jade plates inlaid on it was very exquisitely carved, and there was a silver fish bag hanging on the right side, and a pair of official boots walked very loudly.
The middle-aged man saw Mr. Meng with a group of students and stepped forward to ask.
"Oh, it's Lord Cheng. Today's Midyear Festival, the old man took the students to the nearby temple to pray for the souls of our emperor Song Zhong. ”
Mr. Meng hurriedly replied. The Lord Cheng in front of him is Yuan Younian Jinshi, and now he is working in the Ministry of Rites. When I met him here today, I thought that he came to Tianqing Temple to worship with his entourage.
"Well, I have heard that Mr. Meng is rigorous in his studies, I never thought that Mr. Meng was so loyal, it just so happened that the prince was in the main hall, and the prince admired a loyal person like Mr. Meng the most on weekdays, so Mr. can go with me?"
Although Mr. Meng did not have a reputation, he had taught for decades, and he was well known in the city of Tokyo, but he was familiar with some officials of low rank. The Lord Cheng in front of him is obviously one of them.
"Don't dare to ask for ears, but you can do what you want."
Mr. Meng bowed and replied happily.
......
"I said when Meng Banxian was so good, and took us out for an outing. The relationship is under the guise of taking us out for an outing to incense, and it is true that it is good to tie up with the dignitaries. ”
Meng Banxian followed Master Cheng to the main hall, and Liu Yong and these students were allowed to "move freely". Yang Zhang found a turtle carrying a large stone tablet and sat down.
"How can you say that about Mr. Meng? Also, this turtle can't sit. ”
Wang Yu protested to Yang Zhang.
"That's all I have to say. Also, boy, read more books, this guy under my ass is called Zang Tu (bixi four sounds), also known as Baxia, one of the nine sons of the dragon, not a turtle. ”
Yang Zhang smiled at Wang Yu.
"I know... I just forgot about it. ”
Wang Yu blushed and denied it, but his confidence was very insufficient.
"I think Meng Banxian won't be able to come back for a while, I'll go around."
Liu Yong stretched his waist and said to his friends.
Liu Xun, who has always been honest on the side, suddenly stimulated his potential with the farts worm, and then said:
"I'll go, I'll go."
"I'm going to look for a thatched house, do you want to come with me too?"
Liu Yong covered his face and said helplessly.
"Oh......"
