Chapter 33 Thousand Buddha Temple Ancient trees reach to the sky

Nothing to gain, a trip for nothing.

Seeing that there was no harvest here, I returned to the side of the others, and when everyone was not paying attention, I secretly glanced at Chunting, suggesting that this place was not the place we were looking for.

Seeing this, Chunting nodded slightly, and continued to play with everyone in this Bixia Palace, although his heart was lost, his expression was as usual and did not show any abnormality.

Although I was a little disappointed, since I had come here, I naturally couldn't come in vain, so it was better to let myself relax and relax, so I chose to forget the purpose of this trip and the confusion of the road ahead, and happily swim in this Bixia Palace with everyone.

Happy times are always so short, and before we know it, the day passed quickly, and we returned to our accommodation and began to think about the next day.

……

When I woke up the next day, it was the same process again, getting up, dressing and washing properly, everyone gathered again, ready to continue to Fuqiu Mountain, to explore the Thousand Buddha Cave, which had not been reached the day before.

In fact, after nothing to gain in Bixia Palace yesterday, I was going to give up the Thousand Buddha Cave and go directly to Da Ling Mountain, but the matter of Chunting is not suitable for fanfare, and everyone is rarely interested in playing again, and it is difficult for me to convince everyone if I don't have a suitable reason.

In this case, it is better to give yourself a vacation, feel the scenery of this dawn, and go to the Thousand Buddha Cave to see the reliefs left by the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty, which must be equally amazing.

On the way, Xie Xie saw that everyone was in high spirits, so he added some records about this floating hill mountain and a thousand Buddha caves.

Fuqiu Mountain, in the Song Dynasty is called Xiaoheng Mountain, and the time of Jin Yuan is called Fulong Mountain, all because of the mountain shape like a floating boat and get the name, to the Jiajing period, Liyang built a city wall across it, the mountain is divided into two parts, the part in the city is called Xiaogu Mountain, and the part outside the city is commonly known as Nanshan, that is, today's Fuqiu Mountain.

In this floating hill mountain, the most can be called the wonder of the scenic spot is the small golden top, this so-called small golden top is a stone peak that stands abruptly, the top of the mountain is flat and cuts the wall, about four meters high, the north and south are slightly longer, there are stone steps chiseled on its north side, visitors can go up along the stone steps, people call it "the mountain on the mountain", the thousand Buddha caves we are going to go to today are excavated with this.

According to historical records, as early as Zhenguan 17 years, Liyang was changed to Weizhou, in the same year in the top of the Fuqiu Mountain began to chisel the grotto statue, after that, Kaiyao, Yongchun, Ruyi and other years have continued to carve again, the Buddha statue carved in the cave is more than 990 altogether, it is because of this reason, so the descendants call it a thousand Buddha holes.

We were patiently listening to Xie Xie's narration, and he stopped as he spoke, and we looked up and saw the stone steps in front of us as he described, and our eyes lit up, knowing that this was our destination today, the Thousand Buddha Cave.

Slowly go up along the stone steps, we see that on the west side of the small golden top, there are two grottoes side by side, the mouth of the hole on the south side is engraved with the word "Buddha Country", and there are six Basi Pawen engraved below, enter the cave, find that one of them is the dome roof, there is a caisson well in the interior, I have nothing to do, so I deliberately counted it, the four walls of the cave are carved and carved nine hundred and ninety-one, the highest is about two meters, the smallest is only the size of a palm, all are solemn, compassionate and solemn.

Out of the south cave, we enter the north cave again, the entrance of the north cave is not the same as the south side, the width is about three meters, but the depth is more than 170 meters, it is said to be the entrance of the cave, in fact, it is more like a passage.

After we walked in, we found that although the entrance of this cave is different, but the inside is roughly the same as the south side, the same dome top, the interior has a caisson well, in this north cave there are carved Buddha statues of more than 120 statues, but unfortunately they have no head, on the inner wall of the cave there is an inscription in the Jiayou period of the Song Dynasty and the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, this is the latest inscription of the two grottoes.

As we walked through these two caves, we couldn't help but sigh in our hearts as we looked at the reliefs that had survived thousands of years.

This relief vivid image, although it has been a thousand years, has undergone the merciless baptism of time, but is still well preserved, the Buddha carving treasure is solemn, compassion and solemnity, but it is not the same, some King Kong angry eyes, some of the flowers are smiling, all kinds of forms are readily available, all of this, all can not feel the prosperous Tang Dynasty style bone from the stroke of the statue, it is fascinating.

The entrances to the caves on the north and south sides have been seen, and I thought that we were going to leave here and return to our residence, but I didn't expect Xie Xie to stop and took us to the other side.

We looked at Xie Xie curiously, he saw our question, and smiled mysteriously. Let's go slightly

"My lord, outsiders only know that there are a thousand Buddha caves dug in this Liyang Fuqiu Mountain, but few people know that there are also a thousand Buddha temples here, since you are here, you might as well go and see it."

What Xie Xie said is quite reasonable, since he has been here once, he might as well take a look at them all.

Xie Xie opened his mouth to continue to tell us, this Thousand Buddha Temple and Thousand Buddha Cave are close to each other, the temple is named after the Thousand Buddha Cave, according to the "Heshuo Visit Ancient Record": "The Thousand Buddha Temple was built and lost the examination. There are stone cliffs in the temple, high zhang yu, build a pavilion to worship the real martial arts. Dig two holes under the cliff, and the size of the Buddha statue body, and the so-called thousand Buddha caves also. ”

It can be seen from this record, here is the first thousand Buddha caves and then there are thousands of Buddha temples, as for the construction time has not been verified, the existing buildings in the temple are only seven water and land halls, five rooms of the eighteen Arhat halls, five rooms of each of the two corridors, the others have disappeared in history, only the remaining buildings have been used for other purposes in the past, it is not the original face of the Buddhist temple, there is another cypress cypress in the courtyard, the height can reach the sky, it is rumored to be planted in the Tang Dynasty, it has been thousands of years.

Everyone walked into the courtyard under the leadership of Xie Xie, and as soon as I stepped into it, a stream of heat suddenly came from my left hand, which made me feel warm but not burned, I looked down, and the mountain and sea ring in my hand was shining on my hand.

I hurriedly put my left hand in my pocket to prevent others from seeing the vision on my finger, and quietly motioned for Chunting to follow me to the side.

Then, I endured the excitement in my heart and whispered to Chunting.

"Chunting, the mountains and seas are here to feel something."

Chunting's face finally changed, and he glanced back at the people who didn't notice anything wrong, and asked me with the same excitement.

"Can you get a sense of where this place is?"

I paced while recalling, this way the mountain and sea ring has been silent like a real ring, until I walked into the courtyard suddenly had a reaction, presumably it is this thousand Buddha temple, so the mountain and sea ring feel the familiar breath, so it has changed.

"It should be in this Thousand Buddha Temple."

I told Chunting to go on a tour with everyone first, and I pretended to be curious, and walked around the Thousand Buddha Temple alone, while secretly feeling the reaction of the mountain and sea ring, and found that the more I walked out, the weaker the feeling, and the more I went to the middle, the warmer the mountain and sea ring became.

But there is nothing in this courtyard, all the buildings are not nearby, what is there here that can make Shanhaihuan feel the arrangement left by the Spring Pavilion?

Unless......

I walked to the middle of the courtyard and set my eyes on the cypress that I had neglected.

This juniper cypress is about four zhang high, seven feet thick in circumference, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, enough to reach the sky, listen to the people in the temple say, this tree is planted by the people who built the temple in the Tang Dynasty, it has been thousands of years so far.

I raised my head, looked at the ancient tree and fell into deep thought, if this tree is really a thousand years old, then it is reasonable that the Spring Pavilion once left something here.

I tentatively stretched out my left hand and touched the towering giant tree, only to feel a faint heat flow from the tree, this heat flow is similar to the same origin as the ring of mountains and seas, warm but not burning, it will actually make me feel familiar and warm.

Chunting looked at me, as if to ask how I was doing, and I withdrew my left hand into my pocket and nodded fiercely at his inquiring gaze.

This is it!
