Chapter 459: The Temple
Chapter 459: The Temple
It was a sunny day with no clouds.
In the blue sky, the sun is shining. The warm sunshine sprinkled in this revitalized ancient city, adding a touch of warmth to this ancient city that has experienced war.
Not far from the mansion, Lu Heng, who was busy with leisure, was taking A Gui, Duan Peng, Wang Xirang and other military generals to the famous White Horse Temple in Taiyuan Mansion.
"White Horse Temple, founded in the early Tang Dynasty, has a history of more than 500 years. It occupies a radius of about 140,000 meters. It is a famous temple in the north of the country. It is rumored that Emperor Shengwu was forced to leave his home and lived in this monastery for a long time. Therefore, after Emperor Shengwu ascended the throne, he followed the system of the Tang Dynasty and respected this place as a national temple. In the decades that followed, the White Horse Temple was a Buddhist resort in the north, and incense was flourishing. There are many high monks. Later, on the eve of the national capital, this artistic pearl outside the Seychelles gradually declined. ”
Along the way, Lu Heng, who was in an excellent mood, also unconsciously acted as a tour guide. From entering the mountain gate to walking to the gate of the Daxiong Treasure Hall. Lu Heng has been walking slowly, with a pleasant smile on his face, pointing to every hall he has walked through, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and the history and culture of this temple have been tactfully explained.
A sound and colorful explanation made these big and rough people behind him listen to it as if they were fascinated.
"I really can't imagine that there are so many doorways in a broken temple!" Liu Sanbiao groped his chin, squatted on a stone tablet with the ruins of the Tang Dynasty, and praised with a smashing mouth: "Our Shengwu Emperor has also brought it here, tsk, I really didn't expect it!" ”
"That is, if it weren't for what the military advisor said, I wouldn't know that this ruined temple has so many ways!" Wang Xirang squatted down, squeezed Liu Sanbiao aside, and then, groping his chin, pretending to recognize the big characters on the stone tablet, which one of them came from.
Duan Peng, who was following Lu Heng, saw Wang Xi asking the two of them to squat there, looking at the stone tablet like a wealth fan, his eyes were full of contempt. 、
Greedy!
Duan Peng, who claimed to be a Jinshi, in front of Wang Xirang and the two, vividly expressed the high level of the scholar. Such a gentleman loves money, and he takes the appearance of a master in a good way, so that Agui on the side is stunned.
"Strategist ......!" Duan Peng glanced at the huge incense burner engraved with the words of the first year of Tang Zhenguan, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva very covertly. walked over, squatted in front of the incense burner, reached out and groped for the small seal on the copper stove, and smashed his mouth with love. Then he turned his head and pointed to the incense burner and said, "This incense burner, is it really made during the period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
"Yes!" Lu Heng smiled, and then asked Ah Gui to fetch three sticks of incense. After the flame in the incense burner was lit, he respectfully bowed to Shakyamuni in the main hall three times. While saluting incense, he said to Duan Peng with a smile: "Moreover, according to legend, this copper furnace was personally supervised by Emperor Taizong!" ”
"So, this incense burner is worth a lot?" Duan Peng, who was still boasting of being tall just now, revealed his fox tail in a blink of an eye. With the light of gold ingots flashing in his eyes, he raised his sleeves, wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, and affectionately opened his arms to hold the incense burner, and he didn't let go.
Ah Gui on the side, when he heard this, he was suddenly struck by lightning. His mouth opened wide, and he looked at Duan Peng with a greedy face in amazement, and he was speechless in shock.
Lu Heng, who was burning incense, almost missed when he heard this, and inserted the three sticks of incense on Duan Peng's head. After finally stabilizing his figure, he turned his head and scolded him with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
"Although this incense burner is not the treasure of the town temple in this White Horse Temple, it is also a place where countless believers have gathered their spiritual beliefs. Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you? Besides, look at those believers, those eyes can eat you alive? Lu Heng stretched out his hand and pointed at the mountain gates, the endless stream of pilgrims coming in and out, and lowered his voice and scolded with a smile.
Duan Peng glanced back, and when he saw that someone had already heard his voice, he glared at him angrily. That helpless and disdainful look suddenly made Duan Peng's body tremble, and after sticking out his tongue, he hurriedly smiled at those pilgrims, and then let go of the incense burner.
"Childe, someone's coming!" At this moment, Agui, who had been standing beside Lu Heng, frowned slightly after his ears moved, took a step forward, lowered his voice, and said in Lu Heng's ear.
Before the words fell, everyone heard an old voice and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, good, good!" ”
The old voice, with a little compassion and a sense of peace, made those who heard it feel relaxed.
After hearing the sound, Lu Heng turned his head and followed the prestige.
I saw that in the wing room on the side of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, a monk dressed in a gray robe and a robe, who was about the age of not confused, walked slowly over with Zen steps.
Along the way, pilgrims stopped, and this monk seemed to be really enlightened and very monkly. It's just a numb chin, and after snorting, he walked over to Lu Heng and the others with his hands behind his back.
It wasn't until he walked in front of Lu Heng and the others in civilian clothes that the monk stopped.
He looked at Lu Heng with kind eyes, then folded his hands and bowed to Lu Heng slightly: "The poor monk is enlightened, he is the abbot of this White Horse Temple, and he has seen Lord Lu!" ”
Lu Heng smiled slightly, and after inserting the three sticks of incense into the incense burner. Turning his head, he smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "The abbot doesn't have to be polite, Lu Mou didn't tell me, there is a lot of trouble!" ”
The enlightened monk smiled, shook his head and said: "My lord is the stars in the sky, and being able to come to this White Horse Temple is also a blessing for my White Horse Temple." Monk welcome, it's too late! ”
"I just listened to Lord Lu's explanation, and I seem to be very familiar with the White Horse Temple of the poor monk." Seeing that the court minister in front of him didn't seem to be enthusiastic about the conversation, the enlightened monk coughed, still smiling and asked, "Lord Lu has been here before?" ”
"It's just a matter of talking!" Lu Heng shook his head and replied with a smile.
The two chatted calmly for a while, and then the enlightened monk turned his head again and looked at the generals who were guarding Lu Heng's side.
After sweeping them one by one, the monk smiled and said in a Zen manner: "You are all blessed people, and your future is limitless!" ”
Unexpectedly, that's it. Duan Peng and the others, instead of showing the surprise and shock that the enlightened abbot was expecting, they all pursed their lips with a look of disdain.
What are you kidding, you still need to say it, and don't look at who our boss is?
Lv Heng, Lv Yongzheng. In the history of the Great Zhou, he was the youngest and most powerful emperor. Under one man, above ten thousand.
Moreover, even the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is our eldest and the same generation, and is regarded as a confidant and friend. Follow such people. If you don't fly Huang Tengda, it will be unreasonable.
Duan Bonsai pouted, snorted, raised his head to look at the dazzling sun in the sky, and turned his hands behind his back to make a tall figure.
Seeing Duan Peng's disdainful faces, Wang Xirang coughed, stepped forward, and said to the enlightened abbot with an embarrassed face: "Heh, thank Abbot Xie for his good words!" ”
"Your Excellency is welcome!" Seeing that someone thanked him, the abbot's face finally improved slightly.
Seeing these people, they didn't seem to be in the mood to chat. The abbot smiled, folded his hands, and asked Lu Heng: "My lord is here to find Lord Wen's daughter, Wen Xiaohui, right?" ”
"Yes!" Lu Heng nodded slightly, and said to the abbot of Enlightenment: "Entrusted by a friend, Lu Mou inquired several times, and then learned that Lord Wen's daughter lives in your temple, and she came here today to wait for her to go back." Bother the abbot, let him and her out! ”
When the two were talking, a melodious piccolo sounded leisurely.
After hearing this voice, Lu Heng's expression was still calm, and he glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw Duan Peng nodding to himself imperceptibly.
After getting Duan Peng's signal, Lu Heng laughed relaxedly.
Turning his head, he saw that the abbot seemed to have a difficult face. Lu Heng's eyes were as calm as water, and he stared at him and said, "What? Does the abbot have something unspeakable? ”
The enlightened monk laughed dryly, raised his head, and happened to see Lu Heng's gaze that was like substance, and in those slightly narrowed eyes, the deep and calm gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Wudao chuckled in his heart, and quickly lowered his head again.
"No, no." In the blink of an eye, the enlightened monk changed into a smiling face. After getting out of the way, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the arch not far away, and bent down respectfully to Lu Heng and said, "My lord, please!" ”
"Master, please!" Lu Heng smiled and took the lead and walked out. Ah Gui, who was following beside him, stopped slightly, and after his figure stopped, he glanced at the abbot behind him with his head down and his expression flickering, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a cruel smile.
The enlightened monk raised his head and glanced at Master Lu, who had already walked towards the arch, and then withdrew his gaze, drumming secretly in his heart, uneasy.
Just as I was thinking about turning around and sneaking away. Suddenly, Duan Peng and Wang Xirang, who had been staring at him, glanced at each other and nodded slightly. Then he strode up. Stretched out his arm, put it on the neck of the enlightened monk left and right, hugged the emaciated enlightened monk, and laughed: "Master, what's wrong?" Urgency to urinate? ”
Suddenly surrounded by these two big men, he was thinking about the enlightenment of other things, and he was startled and trembled. Dry smile: "Yes, yes, the poor monk is trying to ......"
"Hold on!" Duan Peng's words almost suffocated the enlightened monk to death.
Then, the two big men couldn't say anything, sandwiched the enlightened monk, and followed Lu Heng's footsteps.
Along the way, Duan Peng didn't forget to turn around and point to the incense burner, and asked with great interest, what kind of words like the incense burner could be worth a thousand taels. And Wang Xirang pouted, sarcastically mocking Duan Peng's lack of knowledge......
In his opinion, the stele was obviously more valuable than the incense burner!
And the enlightened monk who was sandwiched between the two big men was covered with cold sweat. Raised his sleeves, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, squeezed a smile, and had a dry mouth to solve the confusion of these two bear-like men.
