Chapter 52: Feilai Temple
Since Ye Qingxuan's miracle began, more than half a month has passed, and in the past half a month, the jade void incense has gradually flourished, which is not only due to Ye Qingxuan's efforts, but also thanks to the hard work of the first hundred or so believers.
Everyone has curiosity, and the people in Xiangyang City heard that in this nameless deep mountain, there is actually a Qingxuan Taoist who can communicate with the gods, and this Qingxuan Taoist is the original author of the popular Condor Archer script in Xiangyang City.
In addition, there are also miracles descended by God Tianzun himself in the Jade Void View, which add up one by one, which is enough to make the Jade Void View famous for a while.
In addition, it has entered May at this time, and the weather is gradually getting hotter, so the people in Xiangyang City have gone into the mountains to play, and at the same time they also went to visit Yuxuguan.
When entering the Taoist temple and seeing the statue of the god, ordinary people will always habitually put on a stick of incense and ask for some blessings, and these later pilgrims are not so much pilgrims, but rather tourists to come more appropriately.
At this point, Ye Qingxuan naturally understands that just through the belief map that comes with the system, you can see that a part of the map representing the Great Jin Dynasty has been lit up, and this part is obviously Jingzhou, where Xiangyang City is located.
However, Jingzhou, which covers a vast area, is only the place where Xiangyang City is located, and there is a faint purple light.
You must know that Xiangyang City, a state pastoral office, is actually a famous Xiongguan city in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and there are no less than 100,000 people who rely on it to survive, and there are only 100 believers, which is really nothing.
"There is a long way to go!" Facing the rising sun, Ye Qingxuan, who had just finished his morning class, stood on the top floor of the Changming Lantern Pavilion and looked into the distance.
The bustling sun sprinkled on the top of the mountain dispelled the mist, revealing the majestic figure of this nameless mountain, "dang~~~" A leisurely bell sounded and startled a bird, accompanied by the mountain wind echoing in the sky above the primeval forest, even the highest peak of Ye Qingxuan was clearly audible.
Where did this bell come from, Ye Qingxuan naturally knew that on a mountain peak more than ten miles away from his jade void view, there was a monk temple named Feilai Temple, and the bell came from Feilai Temple.
The reason why this temple is called Feilai Temple, there is also an interesting legend, legend has it that there was no monk temple in this deep mountain, until one day a few decades ago, a golden light suddenly fell from the sky, and the woodcutter Orion, who was chopping wood and hunting nearby, saw the miracle and went to check the traces, and found that there was a ruined temple on the top of the mountain out of thin air.
And after that, there are some wild monks in this temple one after another, one of these monks is a young monk who finally stayed, he repaired the temple, promoted Buddhism, and was kind to others, which made Feilai Temple famous in Xiangyang City, and since then the incense has flourished, and the little monk has gradually become an old monk.
Needless to say, this old monk is the master of the great monk Liyan in the mouth of the pilgrims.
Ye Qingxuan didn't have a good impression of the monks, in his cognition, in addition to the real monks who were compassionate, the rest of the monks were all full of fat brains and bad stomachs, and all they thought about was how to let the pilgrims give them as much as possible.
It is no wonder that Ye Qingxuan has such a view, he is a modern person who is naturally exposed to a wide range of information, in his previous life, he has also been to many famous temples, those temples are built one by one and are resplendent and luxurious, but the monks are really not very good, Ye Qingxuan has seen it with his own eyes, there are monks who actually hold a QR code and let tourists scan the code to give alms, it is really funny.
In addition to the wars in history, in addition to the real monks will be Pudu Jishi, most of the temples are closed to the world, and when it is peaceful, the mountain gate is wide open to welcome pilgrims.
In this world, there have also been emperors who destroyed Buddhas, and the wealth found in just a random temple is enough to fill the treasury, which shows how deep the water in the monk's temple is.
Of course, there is not no demon and Taoist disaster in the Daomen, but after all, there are many fewer examples compared to Buddhism, plus the current Ye Qingxuan is a Taoist priest, and his ass decides his head, because he wants to promote Taoism, then he will naturally subconsciously regard Buddhism as an imaginary enemy.
At this time, although there are still many pilgrims in the Feilai Temple, compared with this time in previous years, the flow of people is sparse and much less.
Although the little novice in the temple was happy and leisurely, he was still worried about the Buddha's devotion to him, "Doesn't the world believe in my Buddha anymore? How about this? Why don't you ask the abbot?"
As soon as he thought of it, this little novice hurriedly came to the door of the abbot of Liyan with a cup of tea, lightly slammed the door and then pushed the door to enter.
I saw that in the antique meditation room, a bald old monk was sitting on a futon, chanting with his eyes closed.
Although this old monk is very old, but he is very well maintained, wearing a bright yellow monk's robe and wearing a bright red robe, the robe is full of gems, which makes people look at it suddenly, and it is dazzling.
Although Buddhism pays attention to the brilliance of gold and jewelry, it is generally when presiding over the Dharma or holding a Dharma meeting.
But this Liyan abbot prefers to wear jewelry Buddha clothes, I have to say that this abbot is also an outlier in Buddhism, but in addition, this Liyan abbot also deserves the title of a generation of monks with profound Buddhism.
At this time, seeing the novice coming, the abbot of Liyan smiled, and this smile fell in the eyes of the novice, which made him feel at ease, as if the panic of Fang Cai disappeared all of a sudden.
"Abbot, there have been a lot fewer pilgrims in our Feilai Temple recently, is it because the world no longer admires my Buddha?" asked the little novice with his hands folded as he offered his tea.
"I am a Buddhist, I promote the world, there are many believers in the world, how can you talk nonsense again?" Abbot Liyan took a sip of tea, and glanced at Xiao Shami when he heard the words.
"But the little monk listened to the conversation of the pilgrims and said, there seems to be a Taoist temple on the mountain peak not far away recently, and many of them have gone to worship what Sanqing Tianzun!"
"Evil Demon Outer Dao, how can you mess with my Buddhism Dafa?" Master Li Yan showed a confident smile on his face, and then waved his hand and said, "You go down, the old man has a certain number in his heart!"
Hearing the abbot say this, the little novice heart is a lot more relieved, he was sent to the Feilai Temple by his parents since he was a child, this Feilai Temple is his home, the Buddha is his only spiritual sustenance, this little novice naturally can't tolerate any door to steal the Buddha's faith!
After Xiao Shami withdrew from the meditation room, Abbot Liyan took out the hand in his sleeve, and there was a torn note in his hand, on which you could vaguely see the words Jade Void View and Qingxuan Taoist.
Gently rubbing the piece of paper in his hand, the originally kind eyes of the abbot of Liyan gradually became sharper, "Is there a new religion called Daomen? My Buddha is merciful, and see how the old man crosses these evil demons and foreign paths!
