"Master Zhiren, do you have the key to the back door of the temple? If it's convenient, please give us a hand, and in the morning and evening, we want to walk in the woods behind the temple. ”

"Okay, I've got a key here." Supervisor Zhiren said as he took out a bunch of keys from his waist, untied them, and handed them to Ouyang Ping's hand.

Supervisor Zhiren really served very thoughtfully, as instructed by the abbot of Yiqing.

Ouyang Ping asked Supervisor Zhiren to lead a few people around the temple, Ouyang Ping's purpose was not only to familiarize himself with the environment of the temple, he wanted to know where the back door of the temple was, and didn't Chen Jie and Director Ma still wait in the woods outside the back door?

In the end, Supervisor Zhiren led everyone to the back door.

The location of the back door is on the east side of the abbot's temple - the north side of the Lingguang Pagoda.

The abbot temple is the northernmost part of the entire Lingguang Temple.

Lingguang Temple is located on a half-mountainside, from the mountain gate to the abbot Zen Temple, the terrain is gradually raised, and the three major halls are also higher than one terrain.

After walking out of the east ear room, there is a stone staircase of more than ten steps in front of you, and when you walk up more than ten stone steps, you can see a very high courtyard wall, which is the courtyard wall of the abbot's Zen Temple.

Ouyang Ping had already gone to the Abbot Monastery with Supervisor Zhiren, and in the Lingguang Temple, the Abbot Monastery was an independent place, with a very high wall and two gates dividing the Lingguang Temple into two parts. The distance between the abbot temple and the last hall of Lingguang Temple, the Guanyin Hall, is more than 100 meters apart.

The abbot Monastery not only has a high wall, but also has many buildings inside, and there are many towering ancient cypresses and exotic flowers and plants.

If it weren't for the four emptiness, the abbot, the abbot would have been the most enjoyable person in the world.

To the east of the abbot's monastery there is a large wooded area, and the Lingguang Pagoda stands in the deepest part of this forest.

There was a staircase in the woods that led up the stairs to the back door.

Supervisor Zhiren walked in front with his dim lantern, and Ouyang Ping and his party followed.

Halfway through the woods, Liu Dayu stopped and pricked up his ears at the same time.

Ouyang Ping turned around and walked to Liu Dayu.

Liu Dayu pointed to the west with his hand, motioning Ouyang Ping to listen.

Ouyang Ping really heard a voice: "Master Zhiren, what kind of voice is this?" ”

Supervisor Zhiren said without thinking: "This is the voice of the abbot of Yiqing Zen and the Buddha. ”

The two of them listened carefully again, and sure enough, there was the sound of knocking on the wooden fish and the sound of chanting.

Ouyang Ping looked at his watch, the time was ten fifty-five: "It's so late at night, and the abbot is still participating in Zen and Buddha!" ”

"This is the homework that the abbot must do every day."

Abbot Yiqing was indeed a devout Buddhist, and there was no one to urge him or supervise him, and the abbot of Yiqing relied entirely on his loyalty to the Buddha. Ouyang Ping and Liu Dayu had spontaneous respect for Abbot Yiqing.

"When does Abbot Yiqing rest every night?"

"Before twelve o'clock, the abbot will not go to bed. I have followed Abbot Ichiqing for many years, and he has never rested before twelve o'clock. ”

"Why is that?"

"After the abbot recites the scriptures, he will go to this forest to practice for a while."

"Why did he practice when he was in more silence?"

"Before twelve o'clock, it is the time when heaven and earth alternate with yin and yang."

The abbot should absorb the aura and essence of heaven and earth at the time of the alternation of yin and yang.
