Daci'en Temple, a world-famous Buddhist monastery and one of the four major scripture translation sites in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, has been going through more than 1,000 years.

Located in the southern suburbs of Jingzhao, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, it was founded in the 22nd year of Zhenguan Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and was built by Li Zhi, the crown prince of the 22nd year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, in memory of his mother, Empress Wende.

Daci'en Temple is the most famous and magnificent Buddhist temple in Chang'an City of Tang Dynasty, which was built by imperial decree of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Sanzang Xuanzang once presided over temple affairs here, led the translation of Buddhist scriptures, and founded a Buddhist sect.

Therefore, the Great Ci'en Temple has a very prominent position in the history of Chinese Buddhism and has always been valued at home and abroad.

However, Yue Qianling found that it seemed that except for herself, other people did not see much piety on their faces in this magnificent and solemn temple, especially me, my eyes stayed on all the time in the temple that looked like turtles and were not turtles, far more than the time of Buddha statues.

"All the overlords are almost the same, and there are hundreds of large and small overlords in this Great Mercy and Grace Temple, when will this be found." Gu Anqi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.

The gate of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple is not far into it, there is a pine sandwich road in front of the front, there is a three-meter-high iron incense burner in the road, the left and right are the square seat rest mountain type bell and drum on the second floor of the confrontation, the west drum and the east bell, do the use of the morning bell and the dusk drum, this is also the large magic instrument of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.

The big bell in the bell tower on the east side is the "Morning Bell of the Wild Goose Pagoda" cast in the 27th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, and the evening drum on the west side is made in modern times.

The morning bell is melodious, passing through the forest, the sun is shining, echoing in the sky of the wild goose pagoda; The drums are beating at dusk, the sound of chanting scriptures, Qujiang Smoke Village, and the incense is not extinguished.

"Morning bells and dusk drums! This is the place. "It dawned on me." In the text we deciphered, the two lines of poetry that indicate the location are actually a pun, not only referring to Jingzhao, but also referring to this Great Mercy and Grace Temple. ”

"In fact, there is one thing I don't understand, why do I have to choose the hegemon?" Yue Qianling took a sip of water and asked weakly.

"The most common thing in the temple is to carry steles, and if you want to leave clues, these inscriptions are indeed a good choice." Gu Anqi nodded and said.

"This idea is quite right, but it must be useless, there are very few original buildings in the Great Ci'en Temple, most of them were renovated later, if the clues were left on the inscription, I am afraid it would have been destroyed long ago." Yue Qianling shook her head in denial. "And I also asked the tour guide in charge of the explanation just now, and there is no cultural relics in the entire Dacien Temple, and the farthest ones are only left over from the Republic of China."

"No leakage?!" I looked around and said calmly. "The 14th Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty is very important, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely think of these problems if he wants to leave clues, so there must be a tyrant in this temple who has clues on him, where is it?"

I have been looking for most of the day in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple and have not found anything, I have carefully studied almost all the existing subordinates in the temple, either they are incomplete or the age is wrong, for the inscription on it, I just didn't climb up and read it word by word.

My strange behavior made the monks of the temple, who had always been peaceful and indisputable, unbearable.

"The Buddha gate is pure, and the donor is solemn." The monk in charge of cleaning the courtyard clasped his hands.

I was standing on the body of a tyrant looking at the inscription on it, and quickly jumped down from it, smiling apologetically.

"I'm really sorry, master, may I ask if there is a bully built in the Ming Dynasty in this Great Ci'en Temple?"

"This temple is the temple of the Sui Dynasty before, the incense has been abandoned in the years of Gaozu Wude, to the time of Li Tang Zhenguan, coupled with the location in the suburbs outside the city, erosion by wind and rain, it is dilapidated, Zhenguan 22 years of the crown prince Li Zhi for his mother Empress Wende on its site to establish a temple." The monk lowered his head and said lightly. "These are recorded in the documents in the temple, but there is no record of the construction of the Baxia in the Ming Dynasty."

After I politely thanked the monk, I sat on the bench in disappointment, and it was clear that the poem in the Tibetan Tibetan was mentioned as a no-leak bully, why couldn't I find it.

Yue Qianling, Qiu Nuo, and Gu Anqi all came back from other parts of the temple, and the result was the same, nothing was found.

"It's not too early, it seems that there is no harvest today, but anyway, this Great Mercy and Grace Temple will not run, we still have time, why worry, why don't we have a good visit today." Yue Qianling said weakly.

I think about it, no matter how you say it, it is a world-famous Buddhist temple, Buddhism talks about fate, it may not be a good thing to be in a hurry, and there is still a harvest if you don't have a good job with it, nodding and following them.

One of the central buildings of the Great Ci'en Temple, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the body of the hall is open and intermittent on the roof of the mountain, the carved beams and paintings are extremely exquisite, and the golden hanging fish on the gables on both sides are extremely beautiful.

In front of the hall, a long tripod incense burner, the incense of the long day is pervasive, the wind and smoke are swaying, the three-body Buddha statue of the Buddha enshrined in the hall of Daxiong is molded by the Ming Chenghua two years, the texture is plump, the expression is serene, graceful and generous, the hall is filled with a solemn and solemn, ancient and familiar religious atmosphere, anyone can feel the aura of tranquility after entering the main hall.

I thought in my heart that since Zhu Yuanzhang believed in metaphysical feng shui so much, he should not have the reason to advocate Buddhism, so why did he have to choose the location of the hidden clues in a temple where incense was flourishing.

After the Daxiong Treasure Hall, you will enter the main hall, which is a first-level highland building courtyard including the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the east and west side halls, the two-story Tibetan scripture building Dharma Hall and the Three Temples.

Originally, there was a small gate in the northeast and northwest of the main hall leading to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the north, and the two doors went straight to the bottom of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the religious symbolism was very clear, representing the road to Elysium.

On the second high platform after the Tibetan scripture building hall, it is the most majestic central building of the whole temple, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, it is composed of the tower base, the tower body and the tower stop, the door tower body is a square cone, each layer is stacked astringent out of the eaves, between two layers of water chestnut teeth, each eaves corner hangs the wind Duo, the top of the tower is stacked with blue bricks to close the top, and the treasure temple is placed on it.

I really didn't have the mood and strength to go up, but Yue Qianling didn't pay attention to it at all, and dragged me to climb the tower, and the wooden stairs in the tower spiraled up, and there were coupon holes on all sides of each floor.

I climbed to the top floor, looking at the gods on all sides, and the victories of Chang'an are vivid.

At this height, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Great Mercy and Grace Temple, standing on a high place and the breeze blowing in your face, a feeling of relaxation and joy, and the gloomy mood just now suddenly improved a lot.

There are four strong and powerful characters along the edge of the tower.

Seventh-level floating slaughter.

"Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, what does this have to do with the Big Wild Goose Pagoda?" Gu Anqi asked curiously.

Qiu Nuo smiled lightly and looked into the distance and explained unhurriedly.

"Futu is Sanskrit, translated as a tower, a pagoda, commonly known as a pagoda, the level of the pagoda is generally singular, such as five, seven, nine, thirteen, etc., and the seven levels are the most, so there is a seven-level floating Tu called, the tower was originally used to bury the bones of the sages or Tibetan Buddhist scriptures, and the merit of building the tower is great."

"Tang Cen Shen has a poem that describes the Big Wild Goose Pagoda." Yue Qianling said with a smile.

The tower is like a gushing out, lonely and towering heavenly palace.

Ascending out of the world, the road is empty.

Abruptly presses China, and the peaks are like ghost workers.

The four corners obstruct the day, and the seven layers of the sky.

Peek down and look down at the tall bird, and hear the wind down.

"Peep down and look down at the tall bird, and listen down to the frightening ......."

The last two lines of this poem made me think of something, I read it again and again next to it, and then looked below, Yue Qianling didn't know why I reacted so much, I circled around the tower and froze in place.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Look down from above, and see what this Great Temple of Mercy and Grace looks like?" I pointed to the bottom and said excitedly.

The other three people looked carefully according to my words, and Gu Anqi slowly opened her mouth wide.

"The mountain gate of the Great Grace Temple protrudes outward, the east of the main axis of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is the tower garden and the bell society, and there are peony gardens and peony pavilions in the west of the axis of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, just symmetrical left and right, like four flat and eight stable four-legged!"

Qiu Nuo looked at Yue Qianling dumbfounded and said in surprise.

"From this height, the structure of the entire Great Mercy and Grace Temple is like a turtle, those that Angel said are four-legged, and the treasure hall and the main hall are turtle bodies, and the protruding mountain gate is ......"

"Not a turtle! It is Baxia, that is, Xuanwu, one of the four great divine beasts of ancient times. Yue Qianling said ecstatically. The Great Mercy and Grace Temple was built in the form of a tyrant. ”

"No leaks." I smiled thoughtfully. "It turned out that it was here, and the entire Great Mercy and Grace Temple was a tyrant, and it was not the stele that was lifted, but the Big Wild Goose Pagoda! The white jade tofu left by Zhu Yuanzhang and the words in the Jiulin Cheng Rui plate are really hidden, which is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda where we are standing now! ”
