Last night's rain has now become a misty drizzle, falling on people's bodies, there is already a trace of coolness, but it can't wet people's clothes, last night's autumn rain washed away the feeling of autumn, replaced by melancholy homesickness. w-w-w。
Ye Boyu drank a few sips of wine, ate a few bites of food, and enjoyed Chang'an Street in the rain alone.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view, causing Ye Boyu's zhùyì.
"Why is he?" Ye Boyu almost screamed. This figure is too familiar, too out of Ye Boyu's yìliào, Rao is Ye Boyu's concentration is so high, he almost screamed out.
I saw that the figure was wearing a tall hat on his head, and his thin figure was almost hidden in a fat robe, as if he was quite familiar with Xishi, and he didn't raise his head, and walked quickly through the crowd.
Ye Boyu stood up and was about to go downstairs to chase after him. Suddenly, a loud voice behind him said: "What a fragrant wine, it must be more than eighteen years old daughter Hong has such a fragrance." ”
There was no need to look back, Ye Boyu also knew that it was Tiangang Lao Dao who came out, shook his head, and had to sit down again. Lao Dao's spirit and complexion all recovered, and he sat opposite Ye Boyu with his ass, and did not answer, picked up the wine bottle and poured it for himself, tilted his neck, and drank it all. With a sound in his mouth, he sighed loudly, "When you sing about wine, how much life is, how to solve your worries, only Du Kang." Tsk, if Cao A's daughter red had been drunk for the past eighteen years, he would definitely not say anything but Du Kang. Ha ha. ”
Ye Boyu caught a glimpse of the figure downstairs and disappeared into the crooked deep alley, knowing that Zài couldn't catch up, so he had no choice but to pick up the smiling face and drink with Lao Dao.
The two of you went back and forth, drank for half an hour, and when it was almost noon, the old Taoist rolled his eyes, threw down the wine glass and left, Ye Boyu met the money behind him and followed behind the old road.
Famen Temple is in the southwest outside Chang'an City, and there are dozens of miles of land. Lao Dao was unhurried, walking all the way ahead, almost at noon, in front of the Famen Temple Mountain Gate, Yuan Gang Lao Dao secretly changed into a common costume in the bushes in front of the mountain gate.
Famen Temple was built in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in the Hengling years, after the completion of the incense has been vigorous, there is the name of "the ancestor of the Guanzhong Tower Temple", Zhou Wei used to be called "Asoka Temple", when Emperor Wen of Sui changed its name to "Chengshi Dojo", Tang Gaozu changed its name to "Famen Temple".
Famen Temple, known as the royal temple, has become a Buddhist holy place that the whole country looks up to because of the placement of the finger bone relics of Shakyamuni Buddha. The pagoda in the temple is known as the "Pagoda of the True Body of the Protector of the Country". It has always been one of the national temples during the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji ascended the throne when it reached the peak that it has never had, the temple enshrines the Buddha bone relics of Shakyamuni, and it is the treasure of the town temple of Famen Temple.
The two followed the large group of pilgrims into the mountain gate and came to the front yard. The front yard is paved with green bricks, and there is a release pond of dozens of zhang in size, which is covered with green moss and aquatic plants. The white marble railing has been polished to perfection. The three merit bridges on the top are more than twice as large as the merit bridges of one of the temples, which is quite magnificent.
Looking up, the first thing I saw was two Han cypresses that were more than 2,000 years old, more than ten zhang high, and more than a dozen people could not hug them, lush and green, covering more than half of the courtyard. Through Hanbai, you can see the front hall of Famen Temple. The body of the five-gate and six-pillar hall, the golden glazed tiles, can vaguely see the glory of the past.
Following behind the pilgrims, Yuan Gang Lao Dao and Ye Boyu carefully looked at every corner of the temple. Famen Temple is full of incense, and there are quite a lot of monks in the temple, and I often see a group of monks walking by with their heads down, and I don't know if they are patrolling in the temple.
This situation deepened Yuan Gang's suspicion of Famen Temple. The two remained silent, followed the pilgrims, all the way through the front hall, the square, is a more than ten zhang wide Foguang Avenue, the end of the avenue is the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
The hall is dedicated to the three Buddhas, which is no different from other temples. It's just more tall and majestic. Ye Boyu saw the word host written on a small door next to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, pulled the sleeve of Yuangang Lao Dao, made a look, and asked Yuan Gang Lao Dao to continue to move forward and go to the presiding residence to explore.
Old Dao Yuan Gang nodded, and continued to follow the pilgrims in a long line, ready to salute the Buddha.
Ye Boyu went out from the side door of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, it was a long indoor corridor, the middle of the corridor was a patio, and in the middle of the patio was a lotus-shaped pool, the pool was decorated with nine golden lotus seats, and there were two rows of golden prayer buildings on both sides of the side, which looked brilliant.
Walk through the patio and out into the courtyard, and in the middle of your head is the host's house.
The host's room was not locked, the door was empty, and it was empty. Ye Boyu quickly searched the house, but found nothing. Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly heard someone talking outside, so he hurriedly covered the door and hid behind the door.
Fortunately, it was just two monks who were chatting and passing by, and after Ye Boyu heard that the monks were far away, he hurriedly went to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to find Yuan Gang Lao Dao.
The boss of the old Taoist queue was impatient, and when he saw Ye Boyu coming out, he hurriedly pulled out, and when he saw Ye Boyu shaking his head, he deliberately said loudly: "Let's go to the underground palace in front of us to pay homage to the Buddha's Buddha bone relics." ”
Ye Boyu also knew the treasure of Famen Temple, but it was famous, and he hadn't seen it, so he hurriedly said loudly: "It's all up to my uncle's orders." "It is inconvenient for Yuan Gang Lao Dao to come to the temple in the guise of a Taoist, so he dresses up as an elderly merchant, so Ye Boyu is called uncle.
The two of them bypassed the Daxiong Treasure Hall and went down to the underground palace from an entrance to the apse.
The underground palace of Famen Temple is open all year round, but it is closed for one day during the Buddha Bathing Festival. Most of the pilgrims who come and go are actually coming for the Buddha bone relics in the underground palace.
Without thinking, the two came to the apse, and there were two monks standing in the apse, watching Ye Boyu and Yuan Gang Lao Dao enter the hall, and when they went up, they asked: "Amitabha, the two donors, please stay." ”
Lao Dao rolled his eyes and said loudly: "The two of us are here to see the Buddha's bone relics, what do you two little monks ask?"
Ye Boyu hurriedly apologized and smiled: "Two masters, the two of us have heard for a long time that your temple has the true body relics of Buddha bones, and we have come to pay our respects, and we have no other intentions, please don't be surprised." ”
Two young monks hurriedly returned the salute, and one of the monks said, "The two donors have invited you." Today, according to the decree of the presiding master, the underground palace will be closed for two days and will not be open for the time being, and I hope that the two donors will not stay here. ”
As soon as the old man rolled his eyes, he was about to have a seizure. Ye Boyu hurriedly said: "Two masters, the two of us came all the way from the capital to meet the Buddha's bone relics. Please also ask the two masters to be accommodating. ”
The two monks looked embarrassed, shook their heads at the same time, and said, "It's really unfortunate. The purpose of the presiding law cannot be violated. The two donors should come another day. ”
"Your host is also so unreasonable. Buddhism is vast, how can there be a saying that the door is closed and not allowed to come in. Yuan Gang Lao Dao couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Where is your host, I want to talk to your host about this truth." ”
Where are the two young monks willing to follow, they are pushing and shouting. Suddenly, I heard someone behind me coughing softly, and said slowly, "Amitabha." Clear emptiness, pure emptiness, why are the two of you and the two benefactors shouting loudly in this pure place of Buddhism, what kind of system has become of it? ”
Ye Boyu and Yuan Gang Lao Dao turned around at the same time, only to see five tall and short monks standing outside the door of the apse, and the one in front was wearing a robe, holding a tin staff, although he was short, he was quite majestic between his eyebrows, and he should be the master of Yuanjue, the presiding officer of Famen Temple.
Yuangang Lao Dao is of course no stranger to the reputation of Master Yuanjue, although the identity of Famen Temple is now far less prominent than that of the Sui and Tang dynasties, but it is also a first-class temple, Master Yuanjue as the host, although he does not know how to cultivate, but his identity is definitely not worse than the head of the six factions.
Seeing the master's reproach, Jingkong and Jingxu hurriedly defended in a low voice: "Master host, these two donors must enter the underground palace, and the two of us spoke out to stop it, so they quarreled." ”
I saw that Master Yuanjue's face was sallow, as if he had jaundice, he turned around, looked at Ye Boyu and Yuan Gang Lao Dao, put his palms together, and spoke like a Hong Zhong: "I don't know where the two donors came from, since you are here in our temple, please go to the guest room to serve tea first." "Master Yuanjue didn't mention the matter of the underground palace, but his words were soft and hard, which made people unable to refuse.
Ye Boyu was afraid that the old Tao would talk nonsense again, so he had a dispute and a bad thing, so he hurriedly said: "The two of us came from the capital, and we have admired the fame of Famen Temple since childhood, and today we have come to pay respects, and I have no other intentions. ”
Master Yuanjue nodded and said, "The donor is polite. Buddhism is vast, only waiting for those who are destined. Since the two donors came to Famen Temple, they wanted Famen Temple to have a fate, and they also invited them to go to the room to talk. ”
Yuan Gang Lao Dao behind him said: "Just drink tea and talk, I heard that this underground palace has been open since Tang Gaozong, I don't know why this underground palace doesn't let us enter today? ”
Master Yuanjue turned around, smiled at Yuan Gang Lao Dao, and said, "Amitabha." The underground palace of Famen Temple has indeed been open to the public. But in recent days it is being repainted and decorated, the palace is closed, and after three days, it is reopened, and two donors are invited Haihan. ”
"Hmph, it'll open in three days. Yuan Gang Lao Dao seemed to be deliberately trying to provoke trouble, and said loudly: "Don't paint in the morning, don't paint in the evening, but at this time, zài said, that's the underground palace, what is there to paint?"
Master Yuanjue just shook his head and said slowly: "The two cultivators are profound, not under the old monk, this old benefactor needless to say, the Taoist swordsmanship is superior, it is rare for this young donor, the Taoist demon is resting, it is really a rare genius." Amitabha".
Ye Boyu and Yuan Gang Lao Dao glanced at each other, knowing that the cultivation and identity of the two of them could not hide the insight of Master Yuanjue. Master Yuanjue made it clear that the two of them were on the road, just to give the two of them a dismount, so that the two of them could go down the stairs. The two of them did not deny it, and Yuan Gang said again: "Master Yuanjue is really discerning, but the two of us are high and low in cultivation, and can we enter the underground palace of your monk temple?
Yuan Gang's words were too explicit, Ye Boyu couldn't help but sweat, in this case, it is too unwise to do it with these monks, and it is a matter of winning or losing. I really can't understand why Yuan Gang Lao Dao deliberately provoked.
Please look forward to watching the next chapter of "The Underground Palace of Famen Temple"
