Our master and apprentice came to see the whole picture of the temple, don't look at it is built in the mountains, the scale of this temple is really not small, although I don't know if there are pilgrims and monks here to support, but it can be seen that this temple is absolutely not short of money.

When the birds cry outside the mountain gate, the pine and cypress are quiet, the inner layers of the mountain gate are palaces, the stacked corridor rooms are selected, although a green forest covers the mountain gate, but there is a spotless artistic conception isolated from the world, the ancient pine in front of the door is vigorous, the cypress stands proudly, showing the majesty of the ancient temple.

The gatehouse set off by the vermilion courtyard wall is more majestic and solemn, the glazed tiles that reflect the afterglow of the sunset are resplendent and splendid, the bell tower and drum tower in the courtyard stand high and left, and the green forest behind the hall can not hide the pagoda that rises and shines.

I said that all of these people built temples according to the idea of developing tourist attractions, so as long as there is a mountain with a better scenery, there must be a temple.

No one came to build a holiday villa in these good places, and they were all occupied by monks.

It was getting dark, I got off the horse in front of the door, Sun Wukong put the salute on the back of the horse, and was about to enter the door, only to see a group of monks walking out of the door, the monks are monks, but how is the dress so nondescript.

They all wear left hats one by one, what is called a left hat, which is common in costume films, the kind of small hat that stuffs long hair into it and inserts a "flute" from the side to fix it, what do you say you are doing with such a hat, and it is a new style that has only recently become popular!

Look at people's robes again, they are actually made of silk and satin, and the robes of the head of the person are also embroidered with colorful threads such as lotus Ruyi, golden wheel vase and other auspicious eight treasures, and the blue hook and white ring on the robe look like it should be made of jade and ivory, shouldn't the hook ring on the robe be made of bamboo and wood?

I said that although the robe is a good formal dress in Buddhism, it is not something that can be worn at any time, and the robe can only be worn when preaching the scriptures, summoning the king, or queuing up for alms to beg for food, in order to show the solemnity of my Buddhist family.

Moreover, the robe must be worn by a fully ordained monk, and the novice must wear a man's robe, and the young man standing at the end of the robe will look at you at most sixteen or seventeen, is the robe you wearing?

Look at the other people's belts, absolutely top-grade silk belts, I only saw those ministers in my godbrother Li Shimin's palace have used this grade of silk belts, if this belt is placed in the modern era of the earth world, it must be at the level of seven wolves if it is not Jinlilai.

Look at what is on your ears again, look at the luster should not be gold earrings, copper, no matter what material, don't you know that monks are not allowed to wear ornaments when holding vows, even if they are modern monks in the earth world, watches cannot be worn on their hands, but in their pockets.

This group of monks is like a monk, all of them are so fashionable, why, are you all trendy men who prefer Buddhist dresses?

Well, if you weren't all wearing straw sandals, holding wooden fish in your hands, and chanting Amitabha, I really doubt you're a Buddhist-themed farmhouse.

I stood by the door, folded my hands and bowed deeply, and one of the monks who took the lead hurriedly replied, "Oh, rudeness, where did the elder come from?"

Alas, in my life, in addition to the three-character scripture of swear words used for swearing, this sentence is the most spoken.

"I am the East Tuqincha, the person who worships the Buddha and asks for scriptures in the Leiyin Temple, and it will be late here, and I want to borrow the brake for a night. ”

The monk said, "Please come in, please come in, there is tea inside." ”

I turned my head and asked Sun Wukong to lead the horse in, because it was dark, and the monk didn't see Sun Wukong's appearance clearly just now.

The monk was a little frightened and asked, "What is that leading the horse?"

"Be quiet!"

I'm going to die! Dare to say what he is in front of this monkey.

Sanzang said: "Be quiet, he has a bad temper, if he hears you say what he is, it will be annoying, he is my apprentice." ”

The monk shuddered, bit his fingers and said, "How can such an ugly and weird person recruit him as an apprentice?"

Hehe, you know a fart, it's an honor for me to be the master of this ugly ghost for several lifetimes.

I replied, "You can't see that ugly is ugly, but it's very capable." ”

The monk led me into the mountain gate, Sun Wukong followed at the end, in the mountain gate, I looked up and saw that the plaque of the main hall had four big characters written on it - Guanyin Zen Temple!

Yo he! This is to the house of Guanyin Bodhisattva!

I saw the main hall of the Guanyin Temple, and thought that the Guanyin Bodhisattva had given me a lot of help on the way from Chang'an, so I said: "The disciple has repeatedly felt the Bodhisattva's holy grace, and he has not had time to thank him. ”

When the monk heard this, he immediately had the door of the temple open and invited me into the temple to worship.

I asked Sun Wukong to tie up the horse and put down his luggage and enter the temple with me, I looked at the golden statue of the Bodhisattva and kowtowed, the monk went to play the drum, and Sun Wukong ran to hit the bell.

When I finished praying, the drumming stopped, but the monkey kept striking the bell, and as a result, all the monks in the temple were called.

The monk said, "The worship is over, why do you still hit the bell?"

Sun Wukong lost the bell pestle and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that this is a one-day monk hitting the clock for a day." ”

I laughed in my heart, this monkey is in a good mood today, but he is not usually so lively.

The monks who were attracted by the sound of the bell rushed in and said, "Which barbarian savage is beating the bell and drum here?"

Hearing that he was said to be a barbarian savage, Sun Wukong jumped out and said in a low voice: "It was your grandfather and I who bumped into it!"

The monks didn't care if they saw a child-tall little person, but after seeing Sun Wukong's appearance, they were scared and crawled, and none of them could stand there properly.

"The ghost is coming!"

"Mo is not Grandpa Lei!"

Sun Wukong smiled and said: "Lei Gong? Lei Gong is my great-grandson! Stand up! Don't be afraid, we are the masters from the Tang Dynasty!"

Okay, just make a fuss, so let's stay here today, don't go too far.

"Wukong!

Hearing my words, Sun Wukong honestly stood behind me with his head bowed, and the monks were relieved when they saw that I was an ordinary monk.

"I am the master of this temple, and I invite you to serve tea in the meditation room. ”

Turning the main hall and entering the back room, the master of the courtyard offered tea and arranged fasting offerings.

It was still early to finish the fast, and before I finished my polite words of thanks, I saw an old monk walking over with the support of two children.

I looked, good guy! This old thing is not simple! Which is called jewelry, what is rich and powerful, all of them are in this old thing!

The old monk wore a Pilu square hat on his head, and the huge cat's eye stone on the top of the hat almost dazzled my eyes!

He wears a collared brocade wool shirt, the gold thread on the clothes can be so thick and bright, a pair of monk shoes you can embroider all the auspicious eight treasures, this handiwork is worth a lot of money.

Looking at the cane he was holding in his hand, which was densely covered with precious stones, I thought I could count a day if I counted them one by one!

I said why do you want two people to hold it, you are both gold and precious stones, it is not easy to move, good guy, if you hadn't opened your eyes in my godbrother's palace, you would have been really stunned by your old thing.

The old monk was hunched over, his face was full of wrinkles, and his face was really full of wrinkles, and there was no flat place at all.

The old monk's eyes were dim, his mouth was shutted like an old lady, and when he opened his mouth, he was toothless, and he looked at least a hundred years old.

When all the monks saw the old monks, they all saluted and called the ancestors.

I also bowed down and greeted him: "Old courtyard master, disciple bows." ”

After returning the salute, the old monk said: "The little ones said that there were two masters from the Dongtu Tang Dynasty, so I came out to see them." ”

I apologized and said, "I don't know what to do for my rash visit, forgive my sins!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

The old monk smiled, that face was not much better than Sun Wukong, I was afraid that he would break his face.

"Master, how far is it from Dongtu to this place?"

I replied while calculating: "Out of the border of Chang'an, there are more than 5,000 miles, through the two boundary mountains, and I have accepted a small apprentice, and I have traveled all the way through the country of Xifan Ha Xia for more than two months, and there are five or six thousand miles before I arrived at your place. ”

The old monk said: "There are thousands of miles away, the old monk has spent his life in vain, and the mountain gate has never gone out. ”

Hey, I don't know, I already walked a tenth of the way! Hehe, this way of learning the scriptures is not as far as I imagined, I will definitely be able to complete the task ahead of schedule!

You haven't been out of the house in your life, so it's not more than a hundred years, I asked, "How long is the old courtyard master?"

The old monk's tone was slightly proud, "It's two hundred and seventy years old." ”

Oh buy karma! No, oh buy Buddha! Two hundred and seventy years old! You're a king!

At the same time, I remembered the description of the four major continents of the world in Buddhism, the world is divided into four continents, there is the southern Ganbu continent where my Datang is located, the average life expectancy is 100 years, but most of them die early, everyone here is greedy and killing, and there are many disputes. And the place where Sun Wukong is located in the sunrise of Dongsheng Shenzhou, although he is not tall, but his lifespan is two hundred and fifty years, and he is not tall in the country of sunrise in the east, how do you feel that he is talking about Japan.

If I had seen the number of 255 in my previous life, I would have thought it was a curse, but when I saw this number in this life, I would only think of the 250 precepts of the Buddha system of the bhikshu monks.

The people of Dongsheng Shenzhou can live for 250 years, while the average life expectancy of Xiniuhe Continent, where this spiritual mountain is located, has doubled, 500 years!

Sun Wukong's Five Elements Mountain was pressed for 500 years, and being put here is a lifetime imprisonment.

And the average life expectancy of Beiju Luzhou has doubled again, reaching a terrifying 1,000 years, if this is true, then more than 200 years of life expectancy is really not a long time.

However, that's just a legend, after all, seventy is rare in ancient times, and it is definitely not normal for this old monk to live for two hundred and seventy years.
