Chapter 196: Hongxing Temple (1)
"Wow! It turned out to be Su County Order, it's really a rare guest, a rare guest, please take a seat! Lin Yi smiled and kowtowed to Su County Lingping and sat down with each other. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Su County Gong smiled and said: "Lord Prefect, this time the lower officials came to talk about some official affairs in the county and listen to the teachings of some adults. ”
Lin Yi took his hand and folded it, looked at it carefully, and saw that what was written in it was an abridgement of several things in the county, and asked him for advice. After browsing it, he gently put it on the table and said with a smile: "These few things, Lord Ben still has to think about it again, and I will give you a reply tomorrow and ask the officials to send it in person." ”
Su County thanked Lin Yi, glanced around with his eyes, and smiled back: "Lord Lin, listen to my wife, one of your concubines wants to have a child very much?" Is there such a thing? ”
Ay! No need to ask, this must be Liu Xinyi's exclusive secret recipe for asking her wife about having a child, otherwise people wouldn't ask like this. Lin Yi smiled and said, "Master Su, this is indeed the case!" ”
When Su Xianling heard this, he laughed and said: "Adult, since you want a child, why don't you ask for a child?" ”
"Send the child Guanyin?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.
Su County Ling nodded, and said very solemnly: "My lord, there is a mountain in the east of our Jingjing County, called Cangyan Mountain, and there is a temple at the foot of the mountain, called Hongxing Temple, the temple is very effective, famous far and wide, every year on February 18, a Niangniang temple fair will be held, and the people within a radius of 100 miles will come to the market to pay homage to the Goddess of Mercy!" Pray for a safe life, and since adults are eager to have children, why not try it? ”
"Oh...... Is there such a thing? Lin Yi was very happy when he heard this, pinched his fingers and calculated, and exclaimed: "February 18, isn't it today?" The official was so busy for a while that he couldn't even remember the days clearly! Speaking of this, he tapped his head with his fist in annoyance, and then said: "Since this Guanyin is so effective, but this house says that nothing can be missed, today it happened that there was nothing to do in this house, so I went to Hongxing Temple with my wife in person, visited the Bodhisattva, and begged her old man to give me a pair of children as soon as possible!" As he spoke, he clasped his palms together, bowed to the sky, and happily walked into the back hall to discuss the matter with Liu Xinyi.
Liu Xinyi smiled when she heard this: "Husband, I have heard Su Xianling's wife say about this matter a few days ago, and I have always wanted to go in my heart, but you often say that it is an ignorant act to ask God and worship Buddha, so scared that I dare not tell you?" Since you want to go, why don't we hurry up and pack up, go to a temple fair, worship the Bodhisattva, maybe you can really give us a pair of children? At that moment, he was very happy to order Chunyu to prepare some incense candles, fruits and snacks, and brought more than a dozen officials from the government out of the house, and went to Jingjing County with the Su County Order.
After walking less than three miles, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that he was intercepted and killed by the Maitreya bandits halfway that day. The situation at that time was not thrilling, and it almost cost us our lives, and now the Maitreya bandits in Zhengding Mansion have not been completely cleared, so if they come like this again, how will they bear it? After thinking about it, he hurriedly instructed the sedan chair man to live in the sedan chair, called the pillar to his side, and whispered to him: "Zhuzi, you rush back now, talk to Ma Tiha, and say that I will take my wife to Hongxing Temple in Jingjing County to burn incense, and ask him to take the brothers of the special combat team, wear civilian clothes to Hongxing Temple, and secretly protect me." ”
The pillar nodded in response, "Yes, my lord!" He turned and spread his legs and ran away.
Seeing that the pillar was gone, Lin Yi was relieved and ordered everyone to continue to move forward, and finally arrived at Hongxing Temple at about twelve o'clock at noon.
Lin Yi got off the sedan chair, looked up, and saw Hongxing Temple with its back against the green mountains, facing a clear lake, and a large river more than one zhang wide coiled around it. The scale of the temple building is very grand, the mountain gate alone is extraordinary, looking through the wall, the temple is majestic, the pines and cypresses are towering to the sky, and the sound of the Buddha is endless.
Lin Yi looked at it for a long time and was amazed. Seeing that Liu Xinyi also got off the sedan chair, she walked over to help her and walked into the temple together.
Today because it is a temple fair, so there are a lot of people who come to worship the Bodhisattva, Lin Yi in the Su County Order under the guidance, visited the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Three Temples, the Tianwang Palace, the Bell and Drum Tower, and finally came to the Guanyin Palace, at this time outside the temple door, there are still many people waiting in a long line to incense, but seeing the county order and the prefect of the county came, he was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged and avoided it.
Su County ordered the officials to guard outside the hall, and he led Lin Yi and Liu Xinyi into the hall. Lin Yi gave some incense money to the monks in the hall, put fruits and snacks on the table, pulled Liu Xinyi to kneel on the futon, worshiped the Bodhisattva together, made a wish to ask for a son, and then got up and stood up.
Su Xian Ling stepped forward and bowed and said with a smile: "Lord Lin, the abbot of Hongxing Temple, Monk Huiji, is more than seventy years old, he is a senior monk in the world, he can know the past and the future, why don't you go and see it?" ”
Wow! Is there such a person in this world? I have heard that the old monk will chant the scriptures, since this Huiji Zen has reached the age of ancient rarity, maybe he is really a monk who has attained the Tao? Lin Yi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask Master Su to introduce me, let me also meet this old living Buddha!" ”
Su Xian Ling smiled, led Lin Yi out of the Guanyin Palace, passed through the three quiet mansions, and walked into a courtyard. This courtyard is very elegant, there are seven or eight big pine trees planted in it, sitting west and facing east, and there are five side halls.
Su Xian Ling stood at the gate of the courtyard, turned around and shouted: "Listen, all the officials, this is the place of the abbot of Hongxing Temple, and the abbot of this temple, Huiji Zen Master, is also a virtuous monk in the world. Speaking of this, he bowed down and smiled, stretched out his arm into the courtyard, and said: "Lord Prefect, this Huiji Zen Master lives in it, Mrs. Lord, two please!" So saying, go first to the side hall.
Lin Yi did not suspect anything else, took Liu Xinyi and Chunyu, and then followed into the abbot.
In the abbot, there are tables, chairs, benches and beds, and there are seven or eight calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which are very bright and elegant. Leaning against the wall, an old man in white stood calmly in front of a large desk, writing a word with a pen, and beside him stood a middle-aged scholar in his forties and a great monk.
Hey! Among this abbot, there is not a seventy-year-old monk? What the hell is this Su County Order? Lin Yi was wondering in his heart, and suddenly the great monk standing next to the old man in white turned around and took a look at Lin Yi, which immediately frightened Lin Yi into a cold sweat, and his body was cold.
"You...... How can you be a dragon monk? And how did it end up here? Lin Yi pointed at Yilong and said, there was a tremor in his voice.
Yilong glanced at Lin Yi with a sneering look, and said with a smile: "This is where one of the branches of our Maitreya Sect is located, of course I can be here?" Lord Lin, you can't think of it, right? We're seeing each other again so soon! As he spoke, he walked up to Lin Yi with a smile, looked at him with his eyes, and turned his gaze on Liu Xinyi a few times. (To be continued.) )
