Chapter 234: Ancient Temple White Horse
The incident in the court made Liu Hong a little suspicious, originally Yuyi could walk in the palace casually, but now there will be two eunuchs following him, which can be regarded as surveillance.
I don't know what the reason is this day, Liu Hong actually didn't summon himself, he felt a little overjoyed, and he planned to go out for a walk when he had nothing to do, thinking that he hadn't visited the famous White Horse Temple after entering Luoyang, so he set off and went there.
Yuyi went out from the Upper East Gate on the east side of the palace, followed by the two eunuchs who were watching.
After walking for a while, Yuyi came to the mountain gate of the White Horse Temple, and met a monk who was sweeping the floor, Yuyi roughly observed the surrounding health situation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is spotless.
"Little Master, this place is so clean, why do you have to clean it like this, isn't it a waste of time?"
Yu Yi felt a little puzzled, so he stepped forward to ask, but he didn't know how to call it, the title of master came from Yu Yi when he was watching "Journey to the West".
"What a master, I don't know what to call the donor?"
The little master was a little surprised when he heard his name called, and his title was also a little special, so he praised it.
"My name is Yuyi, I have heard that Luoyang White Horse Temple is world-famous, and I will come to see it today."
Yuyi wears a red straight coat, a wide sleeved robe, a gray and white neckline, and a black official hat on his head, which can be described as dignified.
The little monk nodded, thinking that it was a dignitary from Luoyang City, so it was not good to delay, and said, "The donor is also invited in!" ”
Before Yuyi, another person also entered the White Horse Temple, but his title was not so polite, and he directly called him a little monk, which seemed very abrupt, you must know that the master can be said to be the most secure title for the monks. Regardless of the age of the man or woman, or the level of virtue, as long as the monk or even the novice who has just lost his hair and dyed it, and has a pure monk's appearance, he should be respected by lay people who are disciples of the Three Jewels, and he can be called "Master". The word "master" is just opposite to the title of "disciple", which means that he is like a teacher and a father, he teaches me the Dharma like a teacher, and gives birth to me with wisdom and life like a father.
After entering the mountain gate, the two sides are the drum tower and the bell tower, from its appearance, it seems to have been rebuilt, and then go forward is the Yunshui Hall and the Mentou Hall, the space inside is very large, there is no tour guide, Yuyi can only go straight to the black, but no matter how to go, the two eunuchs are always inseparable, which makes Yuyi very annoyed.
There are a lot of people who come to worship the Buddha in the White Horse Temple, most of them are some young ladies and young ladies, and some people even sit in a sedan chair, thinking that they are the wives and sons of some executives in the imperial court.
Then go out and go forward is a gate, but this is a very large Buddha hall, its name is the big Buddha hall, there are two entrances, there are some monks standing guard in front of the door, on the left and right of the big Buddha hall are the jade Buddha hall, the ancestral hall, the dining hall, the guest hall, the internal space is quite large.
Thinking of entering the mountain gate, it is a door with three holes, and now the big Buddha hall also has two doors, Yuyi was a little puzzled, so he walked to a door and asked: "Why is this mountain gate set up like this, is one door enough soon, and there are two holes, so which one should people go?" ”
The monk was not annoyed, and replied: "The donor doesn't know that the mountain gate of the White Horse Temple adopts a stone arc gate with a three-hole archway style. The mountain gate is the main gate of the Buddhist temple, which is generally composed of three gates, symbolizing the "three liberation gates" of "empty door", "no phase gate" and "no door". Because our temple was originally built in a mountain village, it is also known as the "mountain gate". ”
Yuyi nodded, and he learned something again.
The monk then introduced: "There are two tombs of the two monks of Morteng and Zhu Falan on the east and west sides of the mountain gate. The five major halls from south to north are the Tianwang Palace, the Big Buddha Palace, the Daxiong Palace, the Receiving Hall and the Pilu Palace, and the donor can enjoy the tour. ”
Almost every Buddha hall has a corresponding monk on duty, so some allusions and origins, I mainly want to know, and I will patiently tell you.
Due to the blessing of internal strength, Yuyi's walking speed was very fast, and soon the two eunuchs who followed were out of breath.
The Tianwang Hall is a single eaves rest mountain type, the east and west are 5 wide, the north and south are 4 deep, the big Buddha hall is a single eaves rest mountain type, the east and west are 5 wide, the north and south are 4 deep, and the statue of a Buddha, Manjushri, Fuxian two Bodhisattvas, two disciples of Jiaye and Ananda, two offerings, Guanyin Bodhisattva and other statues; Daxiong Hall is a hanging mountain type, 5 rooms are wide in the east and west, 4 rooms are deep in the north and south, and the Buddha is for Shakya, Amitabha, the medicine master "three Buddhas", Wei Dao, Wei Li two heavenly generals, 18 Arhats and other 23 Yuan Dynasty sandwich statues, Wei Li Tianjiang clay statues, etc.; Connecting the hall, hard mountain type, 3 rooms wide, 2 rooms deep, inside for Amitabha Buddha and Guanyin, the general trend to the two Bodhisattva statues; Pilu Pavilion is a heavy eaves rest mountain type, located on the cool platform, 5 rooms are wide in the east and west, 4 rooms are deep in the north and south, and the two Bodhisattvas of Pilu Buddha and Manjushri and Fuxian are provided inside.
In the end, Yuyi came to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, this place that made him very fascinated, the understanding of the Zangjing Pavilion is in the martial arts, often an ordinary person, stole the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to obtain a copy of the Yijin Sutra, so he became a martial arts master, of course, there are seventy-two kinds of stunts.
However, the Tibetan scripture pavilion here in the White Horse Temple is different from what Yuyi imagined, there is no martial arts sweeping monk, and there is no martial arts cheats, Yuyi flipped through it on the bookshelf, all of them are some Buddhist scriptures, such as the Dragon Tripitaka, the Chinese Tripitaka, the Japanese Tripitaka, the Tibetan Tripitaka, the Dunhuang Tripitaka and other more than 10 kinds of scriptures.
With the leading hall as the axis, its symmetrical position is the magic treasure pavilion, and there are some "magic weapons" inside.
There are other palaces in this kind of ancient temple, it is late, and Yuyi does not have extra time to browse one by one, so he can only go home.
The solemn Buddhist temple brought a different feeling to Yuyi, and even swept the shameless time spent with Liu Hong for several days, if there were no two eunuchs to follow, Yuyi might be even happier.
On this trip, Yu Yi found that the two eunuchs had no force at all, and the distance was very short, if they intended to leave, they would be helpless, but under the city of Luoyang, there were the eyes and ears of the imperial court everywhere, and if I was not fully prepared, I couldn't leave easily.
Walking out of the mountain gate, Yu Yi still met the little master who was sweeping the floor, nodded to him, said hello, and then walked out of the mountain gate.
After walking some distance from the mountain gate, Yuyi found an old man dressed strangely setting up a stall there, with a flag next to it and the word "fortune telling" written on it.
The man was wearing a gossip robe, somewhat similar to Zhang Jiao, it should be a Taoist or something, and he was out of step with the monk Yu Yi met in the White Horse Temple before, and he didn't know what the reason for fortune-telling near the White Horse Temple was.
Yuyi glanced at the man, and continued to walk forward, the two eunuchs behind him who were watching him were much behind due to the short distance of his feet.
