Chapter 43 Tanzhe Temple

Wang Jundao knew that Wei Zhongcheng believed in Buddhism, so he called him over and went with him to see Tanzhe Temple.

Wei Zhongcheng couldn't help but be overjoyed: "As the saying goes, there is Tanzhe Temple first, and then there is Yanjing City, I have long wanted to go to Tanzhe Temple to have a look." ”

"Dare you, you're still complaining that I don't give you a vacation?" Wang Jundao said with a smile.

"Commander, how dare I complain about you?" Wei Zhongcheng said with a bitter face. His heart is like a mirror, if he doesn't follow Wang Jundao, I'm afraid that he may not be able to come to this Tanzhe Temple in his life, he is grateful to Wang Jundao It's too late, how can he complain about Wang Jundao?

"Haha, let's go."

Wang Jundao stood up with a smile and walked out of the tent, Wei Zhongcheng hurriedly followed, and after walking out of the headquarters, Lei Ba and Han Muxia also followed, Wang Jundao turned his head and said to the two: "You leave someone here, if there is a major military incident, go to Tanzhe Temple to find me." ”

Lei Ba and Han Muxia, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, Lei Ba spoke first: "I'll go this time, and you will go next time." ”

"You don't fit the atmosphere of the temple, I'm afraid it will disturb the military commander's Yaxing, so I'll go." Han Muxia said with a smile.

"Who says I'm not fit in the atmosphere of the temple? When I was a child, my mother often took me to Buddhist temples to worship Buddha. Lei Ba said with a glare.

"Come on, don't fight between the two of you, don't follow anyone, stay honest at the command center, and practice martial arts well." Wang Jundao's scalp was numb, and he ordered directly.

"Forehead ......"

Lei Ba and Han Muxia were dumbfounded, and only after Wang Jundao walked out of the command headquarters did the two of them come back to their senses, and suddenly you stared at me and I stared at you, and said at the same time: "It's all you." ”

"Fight! Whoever wins, next time, will go out with the commander. Han Muxia proposed.

"Fight, fight, I'm afraid you won't succeed?" Lei Ba was naturally not to be outdone.

The two of them immediately picked up their fists and began to fight in the headquarters compound, seeing the tiger guards in the courtyard looking at each other, of course, everyone still admires the majority, who made these two perverted fists can make the sound of air explosions? In their opinion, this is simply non-human.

……

Tanzhe Temple is located at the foot of Tanzhe Mountain in the southeast of Mentougou District in the west of Yanjing City, and is more than 30 kilometers away from the center of Yanjing City. The monastery sits north and faces south, backed by Baozhu Peak, surrounded by nine tall peaks in the shape of a horseshoe, as if under the support of nine giant dragons.

Tan Zhe Temple was founded in the first year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (307 AD), has a history of more than 1700 years, is the oldest ancient temple in Yanjing, the original name of the temple is "Jiafu Temple", Kangxi Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty gave the name of "Xiuyun Temple", but because there is "Longtan" behind the temple, there is a Zhe tree on the mountain, so the folk has been called "Tan Zhe Temple", known as the folk proverb of "there is Tan Zhe Temple first, and then there is Yanjing City".

The Tanzhe Temple is large-scale, covering an area of 2.5 hectares inside the temple and 11.2 hectares outside the temple, plus the surrounding forests and mountain farms under the jurisdiction of the Tanzhe Temple, with a total area of more than 121 hectares. The hall is built with the height of the mountain, and it is scattered.

The Forbidden City of Yanjing City has 9,999 and a half rooms, and the Tanzhe Temple has 999 and a half rooms, which is like the epitome of the Forbidden City, and it is said that when the Forbidden City was built in the early Ming Dynasty, it was built in imitation of the Tanzhe Temple.

When Wang Jundao and Wei Zhongcheng arrived at Tanzhe Temple, the time had passed noon, and there were not many pilgrims who came to enter the incense, and the Boxers were rampant in the past few months, and there was a great chaos in various parts of Zhili, and people were panicked, and not many people would choose to go out, so Tanzhe Temple seemed more deserted.

As soon as he walked to the gate of Tanzhe Temple, a monk in his thirties greeted him and said, "Do the two donors want to enter the incense?" ”

Wei Zhongcheng looked at the sparse pilgrims, and said a little strangely: "This master, why did he find us?" ”

"The master said that there will be two distinguished guests to visit today, so he called the poor monk to come and wait, I look at the two of them and a table of talents, the instrument is Xuanang, with a heroic righteousness between the eyebrows, and the pace is also calm and powerful, secretly combined with the mystery, I know that the two are masters, so I came forward to ask this question." The monk clasped his hands together and smiled.

"This master has good eyesight, I don't know what the name of the law is?" Wang Jundao asked with a smile.

"The poor monk is righteous, and the law is pure and happy." Jue Zheng said with a smile.

"Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings, dare to ask the pure Yue monk, you just look at us differently, don't you look down on the rest of the pilgrims?" The corners of Wang Jundao's mouth had a faint curvature, and his smile was a little ill-intentioned.

"The benefactor's words are absurd, all living beings, poor monks can't everyone go to fellowship, naturally only some of them can be selected to get acquainted, spread the belief of poor monks, in the hearts of poor monks, all living beings are equal." Jue Zheng smiled.

"Someone once told me that Buddhism's thinking is sophistry, and I didn't believe it at the time, but now I believe it, because you, a monk, are rare in the world in sophistry." Wang Jundao laughed.

"The donor's words are fallacious......"

Juezheng wanted to continue, but Wang Jundao smiled and said, "The monk should take us to meet your master who calculated the heavenly secrets." ”

Wang Jundao is indeed a little interested in the monk Juehai Huikuan, who is somewhat famous in history, and he can actually calculate his arrival, which is really not an ordinary person.

"Donor, please!"

Juezheng didn't say more, smiled and stretched out his hand, and then led the way in front, and the three of them quickly walked into the Tanzhe Temple, and Wang Jundao also had a good look at the scene in the Tanzhe Temple.

The whole building complex of Tanzhe Temple fully embodies the aesthetic principles of ancient Chinese architecture, running through it with a central axis, and the left and right sides are basically symmetrical, so that the whole building complex appears regular, strict, clear and distinct, and the level is clear. The architectural forms in the temple include halls, halls, pavilions, Zhai, Xuan, pavilions, floors, altars, etc., which are varied.

It didn't take long for Wang Jundao and Wei Zhongcheng to meet the current abbot of Tanzhe Temple, Juehai Huikuan, who was a great monk with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a white beard but a red face, Wang Jundao could see that this monk was a master, especially the unfathomable cultivation, even Wang Jundao was not very sure that he could win, the most important thing was his discerning eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world.

Wei Zhongcheng and Juezheng both retreated in amusement, and after half a sound, Wang Jundao found that Juehai's eyes were still focused on him, and he couldn't help but smile and asked, "The master is looking at the fate of the next?" ”

"Yes, yes." Jue Hai nodded with a smile.

"Did the master ever see the fate below?" Wang Jundao said with a smile.

"The donor's life is wonderful, jumping out of the Three Realms, not among the five elements, the old man's path is still shallow, and he can't see it." Juehai shook his head and smiled. But in his heart, he was very shocked, and this was the first time since he had attained the great perfection of his Dharma cultivation.

"That master may see through the life of a person whose cultivation is at the same level as you, or higher than you?" Wang Jun asked with a smile.

"I can't." Juehai smiled with relief and said, "It's the old man who looks like him, and he invisibly sees the donor as a young junior." ”

"The master is a sincere man." Wang Jundao nodded and laughed, and asked again: "I don't know how the master calculated that he would come in the next day, could it be that the master also learned the Taoist fortune-telling method?" ”

"The way of all things, to the profound, the reason is the same, as long as you can perceive the way of heaven and earth, sense the world's qi, then there is no need to count, the so-called one thought gives birth to ten thousand laws, it is because the donor has a thought, there is a thought to Tanzhe Temple, there is a thought to see the old man in the Tan Zhe Temple, the old man can understand, if the donor comes to the Tan Zhe Temple only for incense, only for the scenery, only to make a wish, the old man can never feel it." Juehai said calmly.

"There is indeed some truth in what the master said, but it is a bit of a feeling of avoiding danger without seeing it, dare to ask the master may feel that the person who comes is not good, or the person who comes is extremely good?" Wang Jundao nodded and smiled.

"Don't see it, don't hear it, and avoid it? Well, that's pretty much the truth, the donor is very wise, but it's a pity that the old man hasn't reached this realm yet. I can't find out what the donor meant, but even if he did, so what? It's just a matter of trouble, good or evil, just a thought, maybe the donor has good intentions, but you can also have evil thoughts about the old man because of the discord between the old man's words. Juehai said with a smile.

"Master, I remember that there is a saying like this, your heart is good, then what you perceive is good, your heart is evil, then what you perceive is also evil, the master thinks that I will be evil to you, does it mean that the master's heart is actually evil?" Wang Jundao grinned and said.

"What the donor says, that's what it is, if the old man refutes, the donor thinks so in his heart, and the old man refutes it." Juehai laughed.

"Well, that's the reason, how many years has the master been the abbot of this Tanzhe Temple?" Wang Jundao suddenly asked.

"Eight years." Juehai didn't know Wang Jundao's intentions, and said truthfully.

"Well, I heard that Tanzhe Temple is the first temple in Yanjing area, and it has always been prosperous with incense, and there are endless pilgrims, among which there are high-ranking officials and nobles, giant businessmen, and the master must be rich enough to rival the country." Wang Jundao said with a smile, his smile was a little ill-intentioned.

"Money is nothing but yellow and white things, and if the benefactor can use it for the benefit of the people, then take it." Juehai said with a smile.

"The master is right...... I'm not the one who robs people of money, I just want to know that there is a huge and hidden hiding place here for the master. Wang Jundao said.

"Since the donors say that the old man is rich and rivals the country, then there are naturally such places." Juehai snorted and said.

"That's good, maybe I'll have to borrow these treasures from the master when the time comes, and I hope the master won't be too troublesome." Wang Jundao said with a smile.

There are too many things in Yanjing City, Cixi hurriedly fled for her life when she arrived, and it was impossible for Wang Jundao to let the treasures accumulated in China be destroyed and snatched away by the Eight-Nation Alliance, but even if he had a thousand carriages, it was impossible to transport them all at once in a short period of time, so he had to find a good place to hide, and this Tanzhe Temple was a good place, and after the Eastern Tibet Province was brought to Tanzhe Temple, he could slowly transport it away.
