Chapter 16 Early Summer Teasing the Mountain Demons II
Long Chuxia basically checked the terrain and the movements of the little demons, so he quickly caught up with the carriage, and the guards who were driving the carriage stopped the carriage, glanced at Long Chuxia and said: "I forgot to tell you, but at this time, you have to be very careful, there are many people, it is easy to have gangsters, especially if you have a bit of posture, you should pay attention to safety, there will be nothing for a while, don't get off the carriage casually." ”
Long Chuxia smiled: "Thank you for the reminder, it's nothing, I won't get out of the car again." ”
Mama Yang was the person who served by the queen's side, she was watching Long Chuxia on the queen's orders, and now seeing her acting strangely, she asked tentatively: "Long Doctor Girl, where did you go just now?" ”
"Pee!" Long Chuxia's words were amazing, startling the aunts and grandmothers in the carriage, everyone looked at her with strange eyes, and Mama Yang said embarrassedly: "Long Doctor Girl speaks, it's really special!" ”
Although Long Chuxia has lived in the palace for three years, in the past three years, except for sweeping the floor, he has basically not been to any part of the palace. The palace maids who welcome Juyuan on weekdays talk so casually, speaking in private, who will pay attention to any words or elegance, plus mixed with Dai Dongguan, a ruffian, more and more rude and plain, now these words are said without embellishment, and she herself doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.
She didn't speak, but continued to sit back by the window, opening the curtain and looking out at everything outside.
Mama Yang and Mama Li, who was beside the Queen Mother, looked at each other, both a little embarrassed, as if such a rude sentence should not be said in the mouth of such an elegant woman in Long Chuxia, it is really a big scene.
Came to Guanyin Temple, the carriage was parked far away in the woods, all the way into the mountain, both sides were full of carriages, and you couldn't find a good location, if you didn't order someone to come to dominate the place before, it is estimated that the carriage would stop at the foot of the mountain. This is a large open space, and many people have gathered to walk up to Kannonji Temple in groups. To talk about the Guanyin Temple of this West Mountain, this is the first emperor 12 years to spend money to build, the Bodhisattva statue, bronze, sit on the top of the Daxian Peak at an altitude of 292 meters, the holy statue is 61.9 meters high, it is the highest Guanyin sitting statue in the country. Buddhism says that the 19th day of the second month of the lunar calendar is the birth day of Guanyin, the 19th day of June is the day of Guanyin's enlightenment, and the 19th day of September is the day of Nirvana of Guanyin. Therefore, the day of the foundation, the day of the consecration and the height of the icon imply these three days. The statue of Guanyin, with his back to the south and facing north, sits on the lotus seat with his feet crossed, wears a crown of jewels, wears a heavenly robe, wears a Luo skirt, bends his eyebrows and red lips, his eyes are like double stars, his face is kind and kind, he looks down on the land of the South China Sea, and wishes the world peace and harmony. It is 47 meters high, the lotus seat is 14.9 meters high, the diameter is 36 meters, and the upper and lower layers around the lotus seat are inlaid with 60 lotus petals. It took five years to build Guanyin, surrounded by water on all sides, and there are four bridges to reach, implying the holy realm of the Buddha realm of "the pure land of the four directions, the water of eight merits, and the steps of the four sides". The wide platform outside the water bridge is for visitors to pay homage to the statue of Guanyin. The outer ring is a lotus corridor, and there is a merit wall inside. The outer wall of the Lotus Corridor uses exquisite murals and reliefs to show the story and legend of Guanyin.
After the carriage was parked, a guard came over with a shoulder, and the Queen Mother waved her hand, "No need, since you are here to offer incense, you should step by step to go up to the Tuas seat and bow down." She looked back and saw Long Chuxia standing in front of the carriage, so she beckoned, "Chuxia, come here." ”
Long Chuxia is looking up at the benevolent face of Master Guanyin, among the many immortals and Buddhas, she has the most respect for Guanyin. Guanyin has a compassionate heart for the benefit of the world, and many of these stories have been passed down among the people, although it is inevitable that some people will add fuel and vinegar when the legend is born, but many of the stories are true.
Hearing the queen mother's shout, she withdrew her eyes and walked to the queen mother's side, and Mama Yang and Mama Li also came to the queen mother's side and were helping to carry things.
"Old lady, go here to three floors, each layer of stone steps is ninety-nine eighty-one, if you go up on foot, I'm afraid you will not be able to bear it!" Mama Li persuaded, "It's better to sit on your shoulders!" ”
The Queen Mother glanced at her and said lightly: "Look at that mother-in-law, she is at least eighty, right?" She can go up, let alone mourning home? ”
Long Chuxia also said: "To worship Guanyin, you must first be sincere, and the biggest thing in sincerity is to practice it." Mama, don't worry, the old lady's physical strength is enough to climb under the lotus platform. ”
"It's light, it's just ......" Mama Li was still trying to persuade her, so the Queen Mother put on a straight face and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's go!" ”
Mama Li had no choice but to give up, and ordered the palace maids to come forward to help with things, and helped the queen mother up the stairs.
The guards pretended to be pilgrims to open the way on both sides, and the pilgrims on both sides were not close to the Queen Mother, and Long Chuxia was also standing on the left side of the Queen Mother, looking quite playful.
The queen glanced at Long Chuxia and said lightly: "Dragon Doctor Girl, what's so funny?" ”
Long Chuxia shook his head and raised his eyebrows to look at the queen, "Did the slave smile?" ”
The queen inadvertently ruffled her hair, and suddenly one of her golden hairpins fell to the ground, she stopped and said in annoyance: "It's really careless, Dragon Doctor, please help me pick it up!" ”
Long Chuxia squatted down, her hand touched the golden hairpin, and she felt her fingers tingle for a while, she knew it, picked up the golden hairpin and handed it to the queen, and said meaningfully: "Madam, such a valuable thing has to be put away, if it falls into the hands of the thief, I don't know if it hurts him or cheapens him!" ”
The queen glanced at her fingers, and her eyes were not shocked, "Xie Yinu's advice, I heard you say before, you are not from Fengguo, so where are you from?" ”
Madame laughed, when did the slave and maid say that the slave and maid were not from the Wind Country? The slave maid is the medicine girl of the Feng Kingdom, naturally the people of the Feng Kingdom, don't use the wrong place in the mother's mind, the slave and the maid have no threat to the Feng Kingdom! "Long Chuxia has something to say.
The queen said lightly: "If this is the case, I have nothing to worry about. ”
"Madame is originally unfounded, but Madame's affection for Feng Gongzi is really touching!"
The Queen Mother turned her head to look at the two of them, "What are you muttering about?" I can't hear a word! ”
The queen smiled and stepped forward to support the queen mother, and said with a smile: "We are talking about the good deeds of Guanyin Master, mother, do you want to rest?" ”
"Stand for a while, it's really old, and I'll pant after walking a few steps!" Although the Queen Mother said this, she was very proud, because she walked dozens of steps in a row, sweating, but comfortable all over, she had not tried such a pleasant feeling for a long time, and she didn't expect that she could go so far in one breath.
Everyone stopped next to the railing, and the guards stood sparsely in front of them, forming a protective line of defense.
Just when everyone was laughing and laughing, I saw a man in a pale yellow satin robe walking over, he looked humble, he looked like a foreign businessman, and there were two small servants behind him, both of them looked white and clean, he walked to the guard and hugged his fist and asked: "May I ask this brother, where is there incense and candles to sell?" ”
The guard looked at him and said, "You didn't bring incense candles with you?" Are you pilgrims? ”
"I'm ashamed to say that when I came to the capital, I knew that today was the day of Guanyin Nirvana, and on a whim, I came with two little guys, but I didn't prepare anything, I'm ashamed!" The merchant smiled lightly, with a gentle look.
Seeing that he didn't look like a bad person, the guard relaxed his guard and said, "Go straight, and we'll have it any further!" ”
The merchant bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you, brother, for your advice!" ”
As soon as his braille came out, the two little servants behind him saw him bend down, and two small arrows suddenly shot out of his sleeves, and flew straight towards the Queen Mother.
