Chapter 266: Jinshan Temple
Zhao Liangsheng didn't ask passers-by this time, and went directly to the roadside vendor, this is a stall selling cakes, the cake just out of the pot is as big as a disc, about a finger thick, the color is yellow and bright, revealing a fresh fragrance, "Comrade, what kind of cake is this?" ”
"It's called Wucheng Spinning Cake." The stall owner smiled: "Let's have a taste, it's delicious." ”
Coming out to play, is to taste the food of various places, to see the different scenery, this cake makes people want to eat at a glance, "Then give me one, well, please help me cut it." ”
"Okay!" The shopkeeper took the knife at hand, divided the cake into two, wrapped them separately and handed them to Zhao Liangsheng.
It's not that Zhao Liangsheng is reluctant to buy two cakes, it's that this cake is really big, and I'm afraid that one person won't be able to eat it.
Zhao Liangsheng handed Yan Siqin one first, "Morning mother, you can taste it." Saying that, he also took a bite, the pie suddenly felt that the skin was thin and the meat was tender, crispy and delicious, Zhao Liangsheng's eyes lit up, and he said to Yan Siqin with a smile: "This cake is really delicious, bring a few for the children when they leave." ”
"It's delicious, it's a traditional food here, and it's been around for more than 400 years." The stall is very talkative, and he has the heart to show off his family's spin cakes like these two outsiders, "My family has been doing it for decades, my family has been selling spin cakes since my father was young, and it has been in my hands for more than ten years, my family is a time-honored brand that sells spin cakes, see?" The stall pointed to the signboard on the stall and said proudly: "Hu Jiaxuan cake, if you want to eat it, come and buy it." ”
"Okay, we'll come and buy it when we're done." Zhao Liangsheng ate the spinning cake and asked, "Comrade, where is the most fun place for you here?" ”
The stall owner didn't think about it, and blurted out directly, "If you want to say that the place is the most fun, I think Qingyun Jinshan Temple can go around, and as long as you don't look at the underground palace, you don't want money, I tell you, this temple has a number of years, I heard that it was originally built in the Sui Dynasty, the temple is big, there must be thousands of acres of land, there are more than 10 rows of light meditation halls in the temple, do you know who is the place to practice in Jinshan Temple?" ”
Where did Zhao Liangsheng and Yan Siqin, two outsiders, know who practiced in Jinshan Temple, the two shook their heads, "I don't know." ”
The stall owner knew that this was the expression, and he continued proudly: "Tang Seng, it is the one in Journey to the West who went to the West to learn scriptures. ”
Yan Siqin: "Really? Tang Seng actually practiced here? ”
"Oh, I can't lie to you! If you don't believe me, ask me again, see if I'm talking nonsense? The stall said seriously.
Tang Seng, what a famous person he was, and later became a Buddha, there must be a fairy spirit in that place, Yan Siqin was fascinated, and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Liangsheng's arm, "Dad, then we have to go and see." ”
"Go!" Zhao Liangsheng also wanted to take a look when he was told by the stall, "Comrade, how to get to this Jinshan Temple?" ”
"It's just that the road is a little far, the temple is in Qingyun County, more than 100 kilometers away from here."
Zhao Liangsheng was a little embarrassed when he heard that there was still such a long way, "It's so far." ”
The stall owner hurriedly explained: "It doesn't matter if it's farther away, there is a direct train." The stall owner pointed to the distance: "See, follow this road, walk for about ten minutes to the bus station, you go there to take the car, there is a direct car to Qingyun County, sit for more than an hour to arrive, out of the bus station there are a lot of cars dedicated to Jinshan Temple, very convenient." ”
Since the stall owner said that it was so convenient, then go around, Zhao Liangsheng thanked the stall owner, and led Yan Siqin straight to the bus station.
What the stall owner said was true, the journey went smoothly, and two hours later, Zhao Liangsheng and his wife were already standing in front of the Jinshan Temple.
As soon as he stopped, the towering and magnificent mountain gate shocked Yan Siqin, who went out for the first time.
The mountain gate is more than 20 meters high, from the appearance it is more like a memorial arch, the whole building is carved by white marble, the plaque above the mountain gate is "Jinshan Temple" several big characters, the auspicious dragon is entwined on the four door posts, there is a lion entrenched in front of the door.
There are three small door openings in the mountain gate, representing the three treasures of Buddhism, which are the gate of jue, the main gate and the net door in turn, which means that they are awake but not confused, righteous but not evil, pure and unstained.
There is Buddhist music coming from afar, mixed with the sound of preaching and chanting Buddha, so many sounds are mixed together, it does not feel noisy at all, but makes people feel calm.
Yan Siqin had never seen white marble, she caressed the Panlong Pillar with a reverent heart, and the jade suddenly felt delicate and smooth, "Dad, what kind of stone is this?" How is it white? ”
Zhao Liangsheng had never seen such a white and implied shallow texture, solid and delicate stone, he carefully observed for a moment, and said hesitantly: "It's jade, how do I feel like jade." ”
"Good boy!" Yan Siqin exclaimed, "The memorial arch made of jade, how much is it worth!" ”
"You can't lift money in front of the Buddha's house." Zhao Liangsheng said angrily: "This is the Pure Land of Buddhism, not our mortals, it is not good to talk about money." ”
Yan Siqin stuck out his tongue, "Doesn't it cost a Buddhist disciple to buy things?" ”
Zhao Liangsheng patted Yan Siqin's head, "If you don't want to mention it, you still mention it?" ”
Since entering the gate of the temple, the air is filled with intoxicating sandalwood, and there are many pilgrims in the temple, none of whom speak loudly, and they all do their own things silently with pious expressions.
On the left hand side of the door is the three-sided Guanyin, which is carved from marble, and the lotus seat is nine meters high, which is the holy Guanyin, the lotus Guanyin and the pure bottle Guanyin, which is often said to seek wealth, children, and blessings.
In front of the tall Guanyin seat, Yan Siqin only felt that he was as small as an ant. Go further, is the main hall of Jinshan Temple, there is a statue of Guanyin more than 5 meters high in the hall, Guanyin stands on the lotus platform, holding this vase, there are many people who come here to burn incense, the huge copper incense burner in front is full of burning sandalwood, through the smoke that swirls, the benevolent and compassionate face of Guanyin Dashi adds a bit of peace.
Yan Siqin folded his hands and bowed to Master Guanyin, straightened up his waist and said to Zhao Liangsheng: "His father, let's also burn pillar incense, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless our whole family." ”
Zhao Liangsheng had this intention, there was a monk who set up a stall to sell incense next to him, he paid for a large handful of sandalwood, took out a bunch, learned from other pilgrims to light the incense, and extinguished the open flame with his hands, and handed the incense to Yan Siqin's hands, "Here you go." ”
Yan Siqin first took the incense and worshiped the south, south, and northwest, and after inserting it into the incense burner, he knelt on the bright yellow futon in front of the Guanyin master.
Yan Siqin closed his eyes, put his hands together on his chest, first pulled out a thread from his heart, and began to pray to the Bodhisattva, "The great mercy and compassion of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the believer begs the Bodhisattva to bless my father and mother with good health and a long life, and bless several children in my family who are promising, study well, and have no illness or disaster, and Shi Ke, the child, the child's life is hard, there is no father at a young age, the child's mother is a woman with four children and does not know how to live her life, please ask the Bodhisattva to bless their family with peace and security, Bless me to see my children in the future, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless my family with a prosperous life and smooth sailing......"
Yan Siqin read all the family members, and even asked for his nephews and nieces, and there was nothing missing, so he respectfully kowtowed three times on the futon.
Zhao Liangsheng stood aside, watching Yan Siqin's lips squirm and muttering something, without asking, he knew that his wife was seeking the well-being of the family.
There are many Buddha statues in the temple, and the husband and wife worship while walking, until the incense and candles in their hands are finished, and then they begin to concentrate on enjoying the scenery of Jinshan Temple.
Walking in the temple of cultivating a pure heart, the ** Buddha hall in front of you, the Buddha music that cleanses the soul in your ears, the fragrance of sandalwood lingers between your noses, and the yellow walls and red tiles are reflected in the lush trees, Zhao Liangsheng and his wife only feel peaceful.
Unconsciously, the two came to the scripture building, standing at the entrance of the underground palace, the underground palace of Jinshan Temple, mainly describing the scene of the eighteenth layer of hell, the two stopped at the door, Yan Siqin looked at the deep passage, and asked Zhao Liangsheng, "His father, can we still see it?" ”
Zhao Liangsheng touched his wallet, the wallet has been deflated in the past two days, don't you look at it? came from so far away, not missing a few dollars, "Look, you wait for me to buy a ticket." ”
The ticket price is not expensive, the two of them spent a dollar, and walked down the stairs, eighteen layers of hell, which is divided into eight hells, in addition to the eight major hells, there are sixteen small hells, plus blood pools, vain death cities, etc., a total of one hundred and thirty-eight hells, in addition to copper pillars, fires, etc., which are the places where punishments are imposed, the terrifying scene frightened Yan Siqin into fear, and before he saw the end, he pulled Zhao Liangsheng out.
"It's really scary." Yan Siqin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "If you don't watch it, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares if I look at it at night." ”
Grabbing his wife's hand in a cold sweat, Zhao Liangsheng secretly laughed at Yan Siqin's timidity, "If you don't look at it, you won't look at it, let's go go around somewhere else." ”
Yan Siqin still had palpitations after walking a long way, "It seems that you must not do evil as a man, and you must remember everything that you have done in your life." ”
Although the Jinshan Temple covers a large area, the main building complex is not too big, less than two hours the two have walked all over, back to the release pond behind the Nine Dragon Wall, Yan Siqin also specially bought two goldfish, put them in the pool.
After the release, the two admired the lifelike nine dragons in front of the Nine Dragons Wall for a while, and then took a ride back.
I went to Jinshan Temple, Yan Siqin was a little relieved, the Buddha said: Fate comes and goes, all are providence, deep and shallow, all are fate. Whoever a person meets is predestined. In life, there is no encounter for no reason, and there is no fate for no reason. The people you meet are the people you should meet in this life. What should come will come, what should go will also go, if the fate is not exhausted, sooner or later it will be encountered, fate dictates, and it cannot be forced.
