Chapter 116: The evening breeze in Xiangguo Temple is not good
The streets on both sides of the road to Dasangkokuji Temple are full of pedestrians, and most of them are people who go to Sangokuji Temple to pray and do business!
Xiangguo Temple is frequently close to the Bianhe River, in front of the temple is a waterway wharf, facing the east gate of the Great Xiangguo Temple, on both sides of the Bianhe River, as shown in the scene shown in the "Qingming Riverside Map", the vendors who sell along the street gather, the big ship carrying grain in the Bianhe River is passing through the eastern suburbs bridge, the prosperity here makes people look sideways!
Merchants on both sides of the Bianhe River gather, there are many trading places, called tiles, and there are some jugglers and singing and dancing skills who are performing!
A middle-aged man on the bridge in the eastern suburbs in the middle, dressed in a light-colored cross-collared robe, with a folding fan in his hand, is beating the drumstick and talking about a book, looking very funny.
The carriage paused a little on the bridge, and the pedestrians on the west side stopped to watch as a well-dressed girl swasher speeding by the side of the road! Hindered the carriage's progress!
"Spread out! Disperse! Don't get in the way! ”
The guards who walked in front originally introduced Liu Ming and others into Xiangguo Temple, even if the task was completed, but now they are close at hand but are blocked, how can they not be angry!
It seems that the metropolises of Bianliang are all conscious, and when they saw the official carriages coming, they all retreated to one side, freeing up the wide road in the middle for the carriages to pass. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Liu Ming got out of the carriage, the guard seemed to negotiate with the monk at the door, and then the guard waved his hand to this side.
"The group training envoy, the villain can only send you here! You hand over the specific matters with the Zhiqing Heavenly Master! ”
"Then thank you Brother Jun!"
Liu Ming clasped his fists and saluted.
Zhiqing Heavenly Master? Liu Ming disagreed, this guy was obviously dressed as an old monk in a robe, and according to common sense, he should be called a Zen master!
"Two donors, please come with me!"
Monk Zhiqing is a kind old monk, his beard is gray, he should be a monk!
"Eunuch, you go and settle the carriage first, and I'll go with the Zen master to hand over the formalities!"
"Well, don't worry!"
Dong Ping could see that Liu Ming was reluctant to release the tiger for the time being, mainly because there were many pilgrims in Xiangguo Temple, and he was afraid that releasing it would frighten them!
Daxiangguo Temple is the most prosperous city center in Kaifeng, which is close to the imperial city, Longhua autumn, lighting the moon and the sunset, the people of the capital, tens of billions of clouds...... Thousands of rides, flowing people like dragons are the evaluation of the people of the time here!
Walking into the temple, an antique magnificent building complex will come into view, and the splendid building complex will be more sacred in the afterglow of this sunset!
The bell tower and drum tower stand on the east and west sides, which is a necessary thing for the monks of Daxiangguo Temple!
As soon as the bell is opened, the sound is transmitted for thousands of miles!
Master Zhiqing walked in front, Liu Ming followed, and when he passed through the verandah, he saw a lot of people dressed as Taoist priests passing by, all carrying an iron sword on their backs!
"Master, Daxiangguo Temple is an important place for Buddhism, why are there Taoist priests coming and going?"
"Donor, don't know, today's saint respects Taoism, and ordered the confluence of Buddhism and Taoism the year before last, and it has been completed at this moment!"
Monk Zhiqing looked helpless, although it has been a river, but it is only the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism doing Dharma together, and the others are still wearing their own scriptures!
There are many temples in the Great Xiangguo Temple, under the leadership of Zhiqing, after the Tianwang Palace, the main hall of the Daxiong Treasure Hall is also!
Around the main hall and on the pillar of the platform, dozens of lions are carved with seals, and the carving is exquisite, and the forms are different!
There are Shakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha and Medicine Buddha III Buddha in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the sitting statues of Hongjun Laozu and Taishang Laojun are added, it looks like the main hall looks nondescript!
The east and west walls are enshrined on the pedestals of the island Guanyin behind the eighteen Arhats and the three Buddhas on the west side, and the immortal figures of the Tongtian Sect are enshrined on the east side!
"Donor, the old monk will send you here, Guo Tianxin's divine envoy and the heavenly masters have been waiting for you for a long time! Don't say much, just wait! When you finish your defense, you can come to me, and it is up to you to arrange accommodation! ”
"Then thank you from Zen Master!"
Liu Ming couldn't help but clasp his hands together and smiled!
Walking into the main hall and the like, the crowds of worshippers in the original hall on both sides have been dispersed, and there are several Taoist figures dressed in early education robes, wearing the crown of the Heavenly Master, and holding a peachwood sword in their hands!
There are also a number of officials and guards on the side! They were lying on a desk to the east, papers and pen and ink in their hands, as if they were waiting for a record!
This battle is a bit .......................... It's a bit big!
Liu Ming originally thought that the old monk brought him here just to worship the things in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, but he didn't expect it to be like this!
Liu Ming was a little overwhelmed, and just stood in the center of the hall in a daze.
"Foot, but the person who ambushed the tiger in Mengdian City?"
The middle-aged man at the head looked at the restrained Liu Ming and smiled.
"Exactly, I don't know?"
"This official is Guo Tianxin, the envoy of the Dingwu Army, the envoy of the Youshenguan, responsible for the affairs of the Pope of the Great Song Dynasty, and the two next to him are Chen Wenqing, the heavenly master of the Shenxiao faction, and the other is Zhang Jixian, the thirtieth generation grandson of Zhang Daojun, who is actually my deputy! A few of you over there are officials from the Ministry of Worship, and today we are ordered to test your Dharma skills! Do you understand? ”
Guo Tianxin directly said his identity, even though Liu Ming was still startled in his heart, this is especially the leaders of the major popes who came to inspect him!
Liu Ming bowed, and said with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Since His Majesty appointed you to come to test, I'm afraid I need to show some real skills today?" ”
Guo Tianxin said with a smile: "The officials of the Ministry of Worship are responsible for recording, and then start the performance, right?" ”
"Performance? How to perform? “
Hearing the word performance, Liu Ming had a feeling that he was on a talent show!
Is it to show some talent?
"Mengdian Liu Ming, Hugh is playing tricks on the sect, if you can't show miracles, you have to report to Your Majesty, saying that you are pretending to be a god and fooling the immortals! Qi Jun is on it! ”
The guy who was called Chen Wenqing snorted coldly twice, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Liu Ming, a stunned boy!
"Miracles? Are you talking about the tiger, you want to see the tiger? ”
Liu Ming now understands that this effect is not a way to show how to subdue the tiger?
In this case, it is better to bring the tiger over to show it, Liu Ming now regrets a little that he shouldn't have brought the tiger here, and he can only blame the Zhiqing monk for not making it clear!
"Celestial Masters, wait a minute, the tiger I brought is in the carriage, wait a moment and let me go and collect it!"
Liu Ming had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk to these guys!
"Hmph, I didn't prepare it earlier, go and come back quickly!"
Guo Tianxin said a little angrily.
