Chapter 149: The Morning Bell of the Wild Goose Pagoda

The carriage stopped at Zhilan Qingyuan.

Chu Jianfeng got out of the carriage and was about to go inside, but was stopped by the forbidden army at the door.

"This is the important place of the academy, and outsiders are not allowed to enter it at will. ”

Chu Jianfeng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and when he saw a middle-aged man in a cyan suit behind him, he was about to step forward to teach a lesson, but he heard it: "Don't be rude." ”

The middle-aged man looked at the forbidden soldier coldly, and the forbidden soldier shivered unexpectedly, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his back was dripping with cold sweat.

At this time, the captain named Li Gang hurriedly ran over, hugged his fists at Chu Jianfeng and bowed, "I've seen Shang..."

"No need to be polite. Chu Jianfeng interrupted him.

Li Gang comprehended, so he walked up to him, lowered his voice and said respectfully: "My lord, where are you going, I will take you there." ”

Chu Jianfeng glanced inside twice and said, "Yanling Academy." ”

Li Gang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly informed: "It's really unfortunate that my lord. Dean Xiao Chu of Yanling Academy went out with a group. ”

Chu Jianfeng frowned and said, "I'm going to compete in two days, how can I still be in the mood to go out?"

Li Gang smiled and said, "My lord doesn't know. Dean Xiao Chu is now famous, and there is an endless stream of people who come to visit. I thought that Dean Xiao Chu must be confident, so he handled it so indifferently, and he was not shocked when the mountain collapsed in front of him. ”

Chu Jianfeng was quite surprised, he didn't expect this little forbidden military captain to exit the chapter, and asked curiously, "What's your name?"

Li Gang was shocked in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Humble Li Gang, he is a captain under General Liu Mingtai of the Longwu Army. ”

"You've read books"

Li Gang said truthfully: "I have studied for a few years, but I can't get on the stage, which makes adults laugh." ”

Chu Jianfeng naturally has a good impression of readers, especially those who have a reading background in the ranks.

"Everything is inferior, but reading is high. Who would dare to laugh at you. Chu Jianfeng said in a deep voice.

Li Gang didn't know what he meant, and thought that he had upset Master Shangshu, so he bowed down and said in a panic: "Don't dare to be humble." ”

Chu Jianfeng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Take me to Yanling Academy to have a look." ”

Li Gang was flattered, smiled and took Chu Jianfeng to the residence of Yanling Academy.

"Adult, please. ”

Chu Jianfeng walked into the courtyard, his eyes swept over, and he was about to continue walking, when Jing Wuming walked out from inside, and the two suddenly met.

Jing Wuming's expression was indifferent, he knew who this sudden person was.

"I've seen Lord Shangshu. Jing Wuming walked up to him and said calmly.

Chu Jianfeng looked him up and down, especially the missing left arm, which reminded him of the one-armed Dao Gu who appeared in Tiger Hill. However, since Tianji Camp let him live in Zhilan Qingyuan, there is no problem in thinking about it.

"Who are you?" Chu Jianfeng said curiously.

Jing Wuming said truthfully: "In Xiayanling Academy, Jing Wuxian is the head of the Liuke Mountain. ”

"Jing Wufang?" Chu Jianfeng's sword eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The name seems to have come from somewhere, a little familiar, but I can't remember it.

Jing Wuming reminded with a smile: "Before entering the academy, I worked in the Giant Tiger Gang. ”

When it comes to the Giant Tiger Gang, Chu Jianfeng has an impression. In the final analysis, the collapse of the Giant Tiger Gang in an instant seems to have a lot to do with this Jing Wulife.

The situation of Yanling Academy in Qingyang, Chu Jianfeng basically knew it through his own channels, especially Xu Bo's performance made him amazed, he didn't expect a young man with a weak crown to have such wisdom and courage, he was really the all-rounder of civil and military who "led the troops on the horse and ruled the country on the horse".

Xu Bo was so amazed, and the Jing Wusheng in front of him was even more difficult.

Thinking that there are so many outstanding talents around his son, he, as a father, is still happy for his son.

In this world, there are really aspiring talents, who are not arrogant, and it is extremely difficult to follow someone sincerely. He couldn't figure out what his son had to do to recruit these people and be extremely loyal.

"It's unfortunate that the adults came, and the son just went out not long ago. Jing Wuming added.

Chu Jianfeng was a little puzzled and asked, "The competition is imminent, does he still have the heart to go out to play?"

Jing Wuming smiled: "If you play cards according to common sense, how can Gongzi be here today." ”

Chu Jianfeng paused for a moment, and then sighed a few times, as if this was the reason. In this world, I'm afraid no one believes that a little-known small academy is actually beating Xiangshan Academy. If you play cards according to common sense, how can you see such a miracle?

Chu Jianfeng no longer pursued the matter, and said, "Please Mr. Jing tell him that he must go back to the house for dinner tonight." ”

Jing Wuming smiled faintly and said, "The son is filial, so he will naturally go." However, if Childe does not go, please rest assured. There are some things that are very bright in Childe's heart. ”

Chu Jianfeng's eyes shone brightly, and he said happily in his heart: "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs." This kid doesn't seem to be a loser. ”

"Understood. ”

After speaking, Chu Jianfeng hugged his fists and said goodbye.

Jing Wusheng clenched his fists and sent him out of the courtyard.

Looking at Chu Jianfeng's departing back, a solemn look appeared on Jing Wuming's face.

The water in Kyoto was deeper than he had imagined.

Kyoto is known as the "Eight Wonders", which are Huayue Cactus, Smoke in the Grass Hall, Wind and Snow in the Willows, Evening Sunshine in Lishan, Drinking in the Qujiang River, Taibai Snow, Xianyang Gudu, and Wild Goose Pagoda Morning Bell.

The place where Chu Yi went was the morning bell of the Wild Goose Pagoda.

On the southern outskirts of Kyoto is a thousand-year-old temple called Shofukuji Temple. It is said that the temple was once the private residence of Princess Luancheng, the eldest daughter of Emperor Wen of the former Northern Sui Dynasty, and her husband Xiao Rui. After the princess died, Xiao Rui was moved out and became the prince's mansion at that time. Later, the crown prince was deposed and confined here.

After that, somehow, a fire was reduced to rubble. Some people say that the prince died in the fire, and some people say that the prince escaped into the red dust, in short, he did not see anyone dead or corpse.

But in the official history, it is said that the crown prince died in the fire. Subsequently, Emperor Jing of the Northern Sui Dynasty ordered people to build a temple on the ruins, and named it Xianfu Temple for Emperor Wen's blessing.

Xianfu Temple has the mountain gate, the bell and drum tower, the Cishi Pavilion, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Building, the Ming Wild Goose Pagoda, the Stone Buddha Pavilion and so on. The top of the arch of the mountain gate is engraved with the five big characters of "勅 Ci Xianfu Temple" inscribed by Emperor Jing himself.

It is said that a hundred years after the founding of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the movement to destroy the Buddha and destroy the temple began, but the temple somehow escaped the catastrophe and did not move a single bit, but the incense became more and more prosperous, and it became Kyoto. Wen Tingkai looked up at the golden plaque of "Blessing Temple" and continued.

Since ancient times, the destruction of Buddhas and temples has been the destruction of Taoism, but they all serve the imperial power. Since the Northern Sui Dynasty respected Buddhism, the Southern Tang Dynasty must respect the Xuanmen, so as to fundamentally break the foundation of the previous dynasty.

Chu Yi no longer thought about these complicated things, and asked, "But why is there a saying of 'Wild Goose Pagoda Morning Bell'?"

Wen Tingkai smiled: "There is another story here. It is said that after the construction of this temple, it was worried about the difficulty of "no bell can not be a temple". Later, I heard that a huge bell was dug up by the villagers in Huqiu Town, and the bell was cast with four lines of big characters "Long live the emperor, ministers and thousands of autumns, the country and the people are safe, and Buddhism often turns". The villagers did not dare to dispose of it without permission, so they immediately reported it to the government, and then they were sent to Xianfu Temple, where the bell and drum tower were cast. ”

After the completion of the building, every morning, the temple monks hit the bell to worship the Buddha. The bell is far away, supplemented by the shadow of the wild goose pagoda, and it has become the "morning bell of the wild goose pagoda" in today's "Kyoto". ”

Passing through the mountain gate, Chu Yi and the others walked up the stone steps, bypassing several temples and coming to the Bell and Drum Tower.

In front of me, a large golden bell hangs high, occupying almost most of the space in the bell tower.

Chu Yi stared at the giant bell carefully, except for the sixteen words "Long live the emperor, ministers and thousands of autumns, the country and the people are safe, and the Dharma always turns", the other inscriptions engraved with the Buddha's Paramita Heart Sutra have long been blurred.

What is strange is that there is a circular pit more than one zhang deep in the center of the ground of this bell tower, and its mouth is like a well, facing the bell mouth hanging above.

"Brother Wen, why is there a circular pit dug under this bell?" asked Xu Bo.

Wen Tingkai scratched the back of his head and said with an embarrassed expression: "This is a question for me." ”

At this moment, an old woman came over and answered, "This is the voice of the voice." It is said that when the bell is struck, the bell enters the ground from this mouth, and the sound goes smoothly and spreads far and wide. ”

"How far is that?" Wen Tingkai asked.

"Smell dozens of miles!" said the old woman with a smile.
