The White Horse Temple is the oldest Buddhist temple in this time and space, and it is still built under the auspices of the state, and the background history is one of the few Buddhist temples.

Even if you come to see the peony flowers, you can't go to the incense to worship the Buddha.

The White Horse Temple in modern Luoyang, Liu Chenxing has never been there, and he doesn't know what it looks like.

The White Horse Temple in this time and space is very large, and entering from the south gate adjacent to Luoshui North is a long stone staircase, and the ladder is flanked by long forests and ancient trees.

Probably because there are too many tourists going up the mountain, there is a little less quiet of the first ancient temple, and there is a sense of hustle and bustle of some modern people going to popular attractions during the Golden Week of tourism.

And really don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, some modern tourist attractions, because of climbing, many people are physically exhausted, so they have bred some sedan chair bearers, and there are also here.

It is the kind of simple bamboo pole that is common in modern tourist attractions, and two people carry it before and after, but it is called a step at this time.

Just enter the place of the mountain gate, there are many coolie men standing on bamboo chariots waiting, with a pair of eyes to filter which tourists seem to be people to sit, will shout, among which women and children are the main objects of soliciting customers.

I probably saw that Grandma Liu looked like she was only in her early fifties, and her mental outlook was good, so she should be able to walk, of course, the main thing was to see that they were dressed in coarse cloth, even if the clothes were still new clothes specially changed today, they were also the ones who had no money at first glance, so their eyes slipped over them, and then they didn't say a word.

However, Grandma Liu has a good body and bones, and it is no problem to climb the mountain road for an hour or two, even if Grandma Liu is allowed to sit, she will not sit.

Liu Chenxing also looked at it from an outsider, and couldn't help but smile slightly, it seems that no matter ancient or modern, whether it is the same time and space, everyone is almost the same.

The mountain road is eighteen bends, the winding uphill road, climbed the stone ladder for more than half an hour, and then arrived at the main hall of the White Horse Temple.

The Dharma of the Daxiong Treasure Hall is solemn, donating sesame oil money, asking for a stick of incense, and kneeling and bowing three times to the Buddha is an indispensable procedure for entering the temple.

At this time, people are really faithful, extraordinarily pious, here it is different from the mountain road when it is like catching up with the market, although the pilgrims are endless, almost all of them are people, but everyone is very soft-spoken and soft-spoken, especially when the incense and worship the Buddha are focused, which is an attitude that modern good men and women lack.

There is a particular aspect of incense on the temple, generally speaking, it is necessary to finish the incense of each Buddha, Bodhisattva and Venerable before noon.

Some taboos would rather believe that they have it, not believe that they don't, because the hour is not early, Liu Chenxing and they no longer delayed, and hurriedly worshiped the Buddha in the various Buddha halls of the White Horse Temple, and everyone finished the incense at noon.

There are too many people today, and the incense altar has been replaced several times because it is full of incense.

Burning incense releases a lot of heat, and it is the noon of spring and summer, and the sun is like a fireball, as if it is hot in summer.

After working like this all morning, the weather was still hot, Liu Chenxing and the six of them were all hot and tired, so they found a passing little novice and asked the location of the dining hall, and they rushed over.

As expected, the dining hall was full of people eating free meals, and many people even sat on a straw mat in the courtyard outside the dining hall, holding a soup bowl in one hand and steamed cakes in the other.

Even though Grandma Liu has a good body, she is about to be sixty years old in the end, and the fatigue on her face can be seen.

If you don't find a place to rest for a while, how can you enjoy peony flowers in the afternoon?

Liu Chenxing frowned, looked around, and saw that there were many people in brocade clothes, led by Xiao Shami, and went to the side of the path.

Thinking about the sedan chair man carrying the sedan chair at the foot of the mountain, Liu Chenxing comprehended, and at the entrance of the courtyard where the path entered, he put his hands together and saluted a monk, and then said: "I want to add two more sesame oil money." As he spoke, he took off the purse from his belt and took out two gold beads the size of soybeans.

This kind of gold bead is generally worth the same amount of money.

Two grains, just two through.

The monk saw that Liu Chenxing was wearing a very ordinary Confucian white robe, and he was a little lady, only an ordinary town family with a little family background, but Liu Chenxing was so generous, took two gold beads and handed them to the little novice behind him, and thanked him with his hands together: "Thank you for your generosity, listen to the donor's accent is not like Luoyang people, it should also come to Luoyang to enjoy the flowers, an hour later, we will host the peony treasures in the peony garden where this path passes, and meet friends with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if you can win the competition, You can choose a pot of peonies you like and leave. Among them, there are many rare treasures, and they are personally cultivated by us, and any one of them is worth a thousand gold. ”

Speaking of this, it was difficult to hide the pride on his face.

"Look at the female benefactor should be a scholar, you can also go to see it then, even if you can't win the championship, if you can win the praise of the onlookers, you can also be famous, after all, there are a lot of Guozijian students who come to participate in the exam at this time of year."

After introducing today's highlight in great detail, I popularized science for Liu Chenxing, an outsider, and looked not far behind Liu Chenxing, there were still five people standing, one of whom was still an old woman, so the conversation changed and said: "But now it's noon, I want to come to the female donor has not used lunch, there is a separate incense room not far from the peony garden, the female donor can take her family to take a rest, and let the little novice send you over for lunch." ”

A nationally famous tourist attraction like the White Horse Temple, and in the current tourist season, it is almost impossible to get a comfortable sense of travel without spending some money, unless it is a royal dignitary.

Liu Chenxing is still satisfied with the news that he spent two times and not only got a separate incense room to rest, but also came with a big show of today's event.

After thanking the monk at the moment, he followed the assigned little novice and took his family to the incense room near the peony garden.

Luoyang is the eastern capital, and it can be regarded as the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there are many rich people.

When I came to the incense room, there were more than a dozen incense rooms lined up on the left and right, and almost every one of them was full.

But in a crowded tourist spot, there is an independent lounge of twelve square squares, and Liu Chenxing is also content.

Waiting for the little novice to get food, Liu Chenxing walked to the low table at the window very comfortably, knelt on the futon, uncovered the teapot lid on it, and saw that it was the water soaked in the wild mountain chrysanthemum, so he got up and handed it to Grandma Liu and Liu, who were still standing in the room.

Liu Qinghai didn't treat himself as an outsider, he sat directly at the window without any image, drank a glass of water, and muttered: "It's not that the four major family members are empty, and they all need money for everything." ”

Liu Chenxing waited for Grandma Liu to also sit down at the window, and while waiting for the little novice to deliver food, he said: "Seeing that the White Horse Temple is so big, it is estimated that there are no less than a thousand monks, and they also receive so many tourists, and most of them provide free meals, and it is normal to collect money." ”

When he said that, he saw that outside the wide open window, Xiao Shami brought lunch, and he also changed his words in time: "Okay, when we take a break after lunch, we will go to the peony garden to participate in the competition, let me see your level, maybe we can win back all the money we have spent in the near future!" ”
