Chapter 598: Worship the Temple

Yunju Temple, located in the northern suburbs of Kyoto between the half waist of Yanshan, it is rumored to have been built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, after being burned by bandits because of the war, a fire burned into a piece of rubble, the monks also fell in the rivers and lakes, among them, there is a monk with the name of great compassion promised to rebuild the temple, after more than 40 years of time everywhere, finally completed the reconstruction of Yunju Temple, at the beginning there was only one main hall, three partial halls, and five small temples of monks' houses, after successive expansion, it has now become an area of more than 40 temples, four halls, nine partial halls, Seventy monks' houses, more than 300 monks in the big temple, now presided over as Master Tzu Yun, high morality, profound Buddhism, one of the famous monks in the world, the temple incense is prosperous, every day on the fifteenth day of incense can be said to be pilgrims gathered, visitors are weaving, from early morning to afternoon on the mountain road everywhere are pedestrians. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Among the pedestrians, there are two middle-aged people, two people in front of one and one behind, one with his head up and his chest up, with an extraordinary bearing, and the other with a slightly bent waist and a deep gaze, looking at his clothes, he is a master and a servant.

"Master, there is still a way to go from Yunju Temple, why don't you rest for a while." Seeing that the owner in front of him stopped and wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, the person behind him proposed.

"Okay." The hand pressed on the waist and rubbed it a few times, the person in front replied, and then looked around, and saw that there was a bluestone protruding from the ground on the side of the road, so he walked over and planned to sit, before that, the next person who followed hurriedly took two steps to the stone first, took out a cotton mat from the bag he carried behind and laid it on the stone, and then helped the master to sit down.

These two people are Zheng Jili and Zheng Xing, yesterday evening I learned the news, the next morning Zheng Jili took Zheng Xing to visit friends in Yunju Temple, because the mountain road is difficult, the carriage can only be sent to the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the road can only rely on people's two legs to go by themselves. Of course, rich people can hire mountain people to sit on the slippery road, but most of the people who go up the mountain today are to go to the Yunju Temple to make incense and make vows, and the emphasis is on the word 'sincerity', so even if there is a means of transportation, at least when going up the mountain, they will not generally use it, so the two masters and servants of the Zheng family also follow the customs of the villagers and walk up the mountain. It's just that Zheng Jili was born in a family, and he is pampered on weekdays, and when he goes out, he either takes a car or a sedan chair, and there are very few opportunities for the soles of his shoes to get dirt.

Zheng Xing took out the water bladder he brought with him and handed it to Zheng Jili, Zheng Jili took it and took a sip, the cool feeling went straight into his stomach from his mouth, and he felt much more comfortable.

Zheng Xing took the water bladder and put it away, and then took out a folding fan and opened it to fan Zheng Jili - he is a person who often runs out, and his body is better than that of his master, so he only feels a little tired after walking all the way, and the situation is much stronger than Zheng Jili.

"How long do you have to walk from Yunju Temple?" At this time, the two have reached the halfway up the mountain, but the reason why Yunju Temple is called Yunju Temple is only because its location is actually not far from the top of the mountain, the terrain is very high, from the bottom of the mountain, sometimes think that the temple is in the clouds and mist, so it is named Yunji Temple, Zheng Jili has sat down, and he plans to rest for a while.

"At the speed of the two of us, it is estimated that it will be about the same for another half an hour." Zheng Xing replied - if it were only him, this time should be shortened by more than one-third, but he could not ask the master for his own physical condition.

"Half an hour...... Zheng Jili shook his head with a wry smile, for him, this half-hour mountain road is not an easy thing.

"Actually, it's not that far, turn the bend in front of you and you can see the temple gate." Zheng Xing guessed what Zheng Jili was thinking at the moment, so he comforted - the so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, the road in the mountains and the road on the plain are not the same concept, looking very close and the distance is very close, and the time difference is very far, but knowing the goal, there is hope, which is very helpful for boosting morale, and Cao Cao's Wangmei quenching thirst in ancient times also has the same effect.

"Oh, that's good." Zheng Jili didn't have much experience in climbing mountains and mountains, so he easily believed Zheng Xing's words.

"Master, you didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, and never worshiped the temple to worship the Buddha, why did you come to Yunju Temple early today?" Anyway, being idle is idle, Zheng Xing asked the question in his heart.

If you really have the power of gods and ghosts, you can make your wishes come true if you believe it, so why should people work hard and strive for progress? Buddha, I don't believe in it, but that doesn't mean I can't come to Yunju Temple. Zheng Jili replied.

"Uh....., that sounds a little confusing." Zheng Jili shook his head after thinking about it, this truth does make sense, but how to think about it is a bit far-fetched.

"Hehe, if you are confused, you will be confused, the most difficult state in life is that it is rare to be confused. Let's go, go early and come back early. Zheng Jili stood up with a smile - he didn't want too many people to know about the purpose of this trip, not to mention Zheng Xing, even his wife, he didn't tell him.

"Yes, it's still your realm high, sir." Since the master was reluctant to speak, Zheng Xing naturally didn't have to ask, put away the cotton pad on the stone, and he hurriedly followed.

Zheng Xing's ability to estimate the distance is still very strong, half an hour later, the master and servant stood at the gate of the mountain gate of Yunju Temple, of course, the mountain gate is still quite a distance away from the temple, but the monks in the temple have repaired the road from here, the road is smooth, it is much easier to walk than before, plus the pilgrims gathered, the voices of the people are boiling, and walking forward with the flow of people, it feels not so tired.

Along the way, there began to be monks, mostly the welcoming monks of Yunju Temple, dressed in gray monk robes, with their hands folded, ushering in the send-off, patiently guiding the way for the pilgrims.

Yunju Temple Zheng Jili is the first time to come, I don't know anything about the situation here, Zheng Xing has been here once, but it is only a cursory stroll, and the knowledge is also very limited, fortunately, they don't know how to go, there are many people who know how to go, and there are many people who slowly rub forward with the flow of people - since they come to Yunju Temple to find people, whether they believe in Buddhism or not, what should be done still has to be done, a pillar of incense in front of the Buddha, there is no intention at least there must be a form, and when the time comes, you have to ask the monks in the temple to find someone to return people, and there is no intention to express, Are you embarrassed to open your mouth? Couldn't it be that two people could find the past one by one in this temple with nearly 100 houses in a radius of dozens of acres? Even if you want to, I'm afraid that the monks who protect the temple will notice and take you to investigate, right?

The hall is full of smoke, there are a lot of people who incense, the three futons in front of the Maitreya Buddha who worship just got up, the back one followed and knelt down, there are those who make a wish, there is a wish, there is a middle-aged monk next to him, one palm is erected in front of his chest, his eyes seem to be closed, he knocks on the wooden fish in his hand, he is not slow, he is not fast, he is not slow, he is reciting the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, although there are many people in the hall, but he is orderly, solemn and solemn.
