Coming out from the palace of the heavenly king, a few steps to the north will enter a garden rockery, the scenery is elegant, quite has the wonder of "winding path leads to the secluded place, the flowers and trees in the meditation room are deep".

When Chao Yong and the five of them were walking through the winding path, they suddenly saw a familiar beautiful shadow.

Dressed in white, with long black hair, delicate and moving, the surrounding flowers and stones seem to have become a foil.

"Hundred Flowers"

After the current emperor has a great rejuvenation of the flower stone gang, the Tokyo magnates have followed the light, this great Xiangguo Temple as a royal temple naturally also share some benefits, this garden has a lot of Gen Yue pick the remaining flower stones.

Fang Baihua was looking at a strange stone shaped like his hometown in a daze, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at it in surprise.

"Brother Yong."

Fang Baihua saw that it was the lover she was looking forward to, she screamed in surprise, and ran over.

When he got closer, when he saw that there were four people behind Chao Yong, he couldn't help but blush, but he didn't stop.

When he arrived, regardless of Shi Xiu's eyes, he threw himself into Chao Yong's arms and murmured: "Originally, Baihua thought that he could let go of his brother, but after leaving Liangshan, he found that his brother was in his mind. ”

Chao Yong hugged Fang Baihua tightly, sniffed the fragrance on Baihua's body, and said affectionately: "I miss you too." ”

Ruan Xiaowu heard that the two of them were so numb, and couldn't help but squeeze his eyebrows at Xiao Qi.

Only then did Ruan Xiaoqi know that Fang Baihua really did not escape Chao Yong's palm.

The two hugged for a long time before parting.

Fang Baihuaqi said: "My brother hasn't sent someone to contact you yet, why did you come here?" ”

It turned out that the hero's post did not specify the place of the meeting, but only said the date and the location of the joint, and after the other three people entered Beijing, the people of the joint would tell them the meeting place, so as not to leak the news and be wiped out by the court.

Chao Yong smiled: "We are just here to play in Daxiangguo Temple, by the way, let's see if we can settle here, is it possible that your brother is going to hold a hero conference here?" ”

When Fang Baihua heard this, he smiled and said, "The hero sees the same thing, it seems that this place is really safe." Okay, I'll take you to see my brother in a while, I'll take you to the Great Xiangguo Temple first, I've been here for two days, I've played several times, this Great Xiangguo Temple really deserves to be a well-known ancient temple at home and abroad. ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Okay, then please explain to us." ”

Fang Baihua said with a smile: "No problem, Master Deng Yuanjue in my sect once stayed in Daxiangguo Temple, and he took me on a tour before." ”

Chao Yong is naturally no stranger to the name Deng Yuanjue, a fierce monk who can fight with Lu Zhishen in the Water Margin, and was finally killed by Hua Rong with an arrow.

This Daxiangguo Temple is also regarded as a Buddhist holy place, is it possible that this Deng Yuanjue really has the heart to practice.

Chao Yong had a hint of doubt, and as Fang Baihua walked out of the garden, he saw a bell tower next to him.

Everyone followed Fang Baihua to the bell tower, only to see a bronze bell more than eight feet high and three or four people hugging each other hanging in the middle, and many inscriptions were cast on the bell.

Ruan Xiaoqi saw it and couldn't help but exclaim: "What a big bronze bell, if you knock it down, the sound will not be heard throughout the city." ”

Fang Baihua said with a smile: "Xiangguo frost bell is one of the eight views of Bianjing, every late autumn chrysanthemum yellow frost season, knock the bronze bell violently, the bell tower will come out with bursts of majestic and loud bells, the sound of the whole city. It can be heard throughout the city, but it is not as loud as in autumn. This bronze bell is more than eight feet high and weighs more than 10,000 catties. Every morning at the fourth watch, the monks in the temple will ring this bell, and the guards will hear this bell and open the city gate. ”

Everyone came down from the bell tower and went to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Arhat Palace, and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

Compared with other temples, there is nothing special about the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but the carved beams and paintings are more exquisite.

Only the Luohan Hall is different again, the folk also call the "Octagonal Glazed Palace", the structure is peculiar, it is an octagonal cloister type building, it is unique, it is rare in the world.

The verandah surrounds the eaves, and in the middle is the central pavilion, and the treasure of the town temple of the Great Xiangguo Temple, the thousand-armed thousand-eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva, is enshrined in the central pavilion.

The verandah hall is surrounded by the Buddha carving of the Sakyamuni lecture meeting, the Buddha, the Buddhas, the Bodhisattvas, the Heavenly King, the Arhats, the shapes are vivid, the carvings are exquisite. They are either in the mountains and forests, or in the small bridges and flowing waters, or sitting or lying, or raising their heads, or bowing their heads, and their forms are realistic.

In the central pavilion is a two-zhang high wooden statue of a thousand-handed and thousand-eyed Guanyin, the whole statue is different on all sides, each side has six big hands and three to four layers of small hands distributed in the form of a fan, each palm is painted with a glance, a total of one thousand and forty-eight, the folk is commonly known as "the Buddha of a thousand eyes and a thousand hands......

No matter which side you look at, you will feel that your face is dignified and beautiful, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.

Fang Baihua said: "According to legend, there was a Ming monarch in ancient times, who was seriously ill, and the enemy country took the opportunity to attack, and the whole country was uneasy, and the doctors could not cure it for a long time, and the situation was very critical. can only post a reward, and a wandering monk takes the list, but he needs to use one hand and one eye of the king's children as a medicine guide. Although the king had many children, when he heard that he was going to use one hand and one eye as a medicine guide, he immediately scolded the monk You Fang and said nonsense that he wanted to drive him out of the palace. Only one princess did not hesitate to draw her knife and cut off her arm, gouge out a glance, and make a medicine lead. The king miraculously recovered after taking medicine.

This story was widely circulated, and the Buddha knew it and was very emotional, saying that this is the filial piety we respect! I will re-install his hands and eyes, reshape his whole body, and let the people practice filial piety to their elders. The words of the Buddha were handed down, but because the sound of "Quan" and "Qian" was close, "Quanshou" became "Qianshou", and then this princess became like this, but the people did not think she was a monster, but they embraced this princess very much, and also molded a golden body for her. There is also this thousand-eyed and thousand-armed Buddha. ”

Chao Yong listened to Fang Baihua finish telling this allusion, and couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "This story must happen in Tianzhu Kingdom. ”

Fang Baihua said strangely: "Why does my brother say this? ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Because I don't believe in this story at all, if it happened in my country, there must be a history record, but I have never heard it." I think it's just that Buddhism knows that my Central Plains is the first to be filial piety, and in order to spread in my Central Plains, it was made up to cater to the imperial court. ”

Fang Baihua herself is from Manichaeism, and it is not good to comment on these stories of religion.

Fang Baihua led everyone around the morning, saw that the head had risen to the middle, and said: "Daxiangguo Temple covers an extremely wide area, if you want to browse them one by one, I'm afraid it will take a few days." However, these are the main buildings in this temple, and the rest are mostly courtyards where monks and pilgrims live in the temple. Why don't you go with me and meet my brother and them in the back? ”

Chao Yong also wanted to take a look at Fang La's side, so he also smiled and said, "Okay, if you don't go back, your brother should be abducted by you." ”

When Fang Baihua heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Chao Yong.

Chao Yong didn't know how many courtyards he had passed, and when he was already a little dizzy, Fang Baihua said, "My brother and they are in the courtyard in front." ”

There was a capable man standing at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw Fang Baihua coming back, he greeted him.

Fang Baihua looked at the monks who were passing by, and whispered: "You go to inform the Holy Father, and you will say that the little overlord of Liangshan is here." ”

When the man heard that it was Liangshan people, he gave everyone a strange look, and then turned back.

When Chao Yong and the others entered the courtyard, they saw five or six people walking out of the house, and the first one was more than eight feet tall, with a majestic appearance, and a dragon and a tiger. In addition to Lou Minzhong and Shi Bao, the people behind him are fat monks and handsome descendants.

After a few steps, Fang La hugged his fists and said: "I don't know that the little overlord has arrived, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Chao Yong hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "How dare you, Sect Leader Fang don't torture the boy." ”

Fang Baihua also knew that Chao Yong and himself were husband and wife, and she was afraid that she would be a little embarrassed to see Fang La, so she said: "Brother Yong is my life-saving benefactor, brother, don't be polite." ”

Fang La looked at his sister and Chao Yong like this, so he also smiled and said, "Okay, all the heroes of Liangshan, please come in." ”

And the houses into which they entered, they gave each other names.

The fat monk on Fang La's side is Deng Yuanjue, and the handsome descendant is Fang La's nephew Fang Jie.

Everyone passed the name, Fang La hugged his fists and said: "The little sister was in distress in Jiangzhou before, and I would like to thank the little overlord for sacrificing her life to save her." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "The effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about. What's more, Cai Jiu is an official who is corrupt and cruel to the people, and no one in my generation is faster than that. ”

Fang La nodded and said: "I have heard that the heroes of Liangshan have done the right thing for the sky, and now I see that it is indeed worthy of its reputation." I don't know what Liangshan Haojie thinks of this alliance? ”

Chao Yong also saw Fang La's temptation, and hugged his fists and said: "The Zhao and Song Dynasty courts are dark, and the people are not living. Now that there is a heroic Sect Leader like Fang ascending to the heights and shouting, the heroes of the world will inevitably respond, and my Liangshan will naturally not lag behind. ”

Fang La glanced at Chao Yong meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Then what do you think our chances are?" ”

Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "When today's son is mediocre, intoxicated with pleasure, and all political affairs are handed over to a group of annihilators in the court, and the cruelty of Zhongliang is already a matter of anger and resentment. We will conform to the will of the people, and when we ascend to the heights, we will inevitably be like clouds, how can the corrupt Zhao and Song courts resist. ”

Fang La nodded and smiled: "The hero sees the same thing, the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts are already about to collapse, and the monarchs and ministers only know pleasure. If you and I work together, within a few years, we can overthrow the Zhao and Song courts. ”

Chao Yongqi said: "Didn't Sect Master Fang make an appointment with four people? ”

Fang La said disdainfully: "I set the location of the alliance in Tokyo, just to see the courage of the four of us, what we are going to do is an earth-shattering thing, if you are not very bold, how can you take on this important responsibility." I didn't want Tian Hu and Wang Qing to dare to come to Tokyo as soon as they heard about it, so they just sent a few leaders. It seems that they are really just rats who rob houses and houses, and they can't make a big deal. That's fine, if they come, it will ruin the name of my hero conference. ”

Deng Yuanjue nodded and said: "What the sect leader said is that this hero conference is to be held in Tokyo, if you hide in those places where birds don't, it won't become a rat conference." ”
