Chapter 90: Yongning Temple

Just when Xu Changting and Huo Nuer went to Yongning Temple to visit the great monk Huisi, in the palace at this time, Wang Xianghe had already received the peach blossom lie sent by Xu Changting to the palace.

And Yuan Hong, who was in the Qinzheng Palace, was stunned for a moment when he saw Wang Xianghe coming in with a delicate small wine jar, and then he realized what this was.

"Your Majesty...... It is said that this is the real Peach Blossom Spirit, and according to Xu Changting's explanation to Commander Xue, this is the most mellow wine in their first cellar of Peach Blossom Spirit. Wang Xianghe hugged the delicate little wine jar and smiled.

"Then the little profiteer won't just give me such a small altar, right?" Yuan Hong looked at the delicate wine jar and asked with a smile.

"No, there are fifty or sixty altars, and the slave just brought one over and asked you to take a look." Wang Xianghe said with a smile.

Yuan Hong nodded with satisfaction after hearing the number: "It's about the same, even if he has a little conscience...... By the way, you didn't ask for money, did you? ”

"Commander Xue said that Xu Changting didn't mention a word about the wine money, so he didn't ask, and he was dragged into the palace." Wang Xianghe cautiously opened the wine jar at Yuan Hong's signal, and before he could come to smell it, Yuan Hong coughed, and then stood up and came to him: "Woo...... What a strong wine, this is even stronger than the one I sent some time ago, but this wine tastes ...... Yes, it's so mellow! ”

"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks this wine is ...... I'm afraid that a small glass can be intoxicating, right? Wang Xianghe, like a pug, was still two or three feet away from the wine jar, so he stretched out his nose and sniffed.

"That's someone else, I'm drinking...... Hehe, you can't get drunk on this altar. Yuan Hong hurriedly motioned to Wang Xianghe to pour him a cup to taste first.

The reason why Wang Xianghe was able to become the minister of the humerus in front of Yuan Hong was that he was thoughtful, meticulous, and discerning, and he could think about everything in front.

So when he poured wine for Yuan Hong, he immediately waved his hand to the palace maid behind him, and then the palace maid saluted and left, but poured the wine, and then walked in with three palace maids in a row with food plates, and each food plate was placed with a few side dishes that Yuan Hong liked to eat on weekdays.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has prepared all the snacks and dishes for you." The king and the pug's flattery.

Yuan Hong was naturally a dragon's heart, picked up the wine glass and smelled the strong aroma of wine to make an intoxicated appearance, and then suddenly remembered something, looked at Wang Xianghe who was waiting for his orders, and said: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Changting sent it at the right time, so let's take the five altars and send them to the Queen Mother, and you will accompany me to see the Queen Mother in a while." ”

"Yes, the slave will arrange it." Wang Xianghe and Ying and Dao.

"How are you going to get ready for the moon viewing at the Meditation Lake?" Yuan Hong asked again.

"The queen personally ordered people to prepare." Wang Xianghe said.

Yuan Hong nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the clear peach blossom in his hand, even if he had drunk it a few times and it was not very ripe, he already knew very well that this wine was really strong.

But when he drank the peach blossom that Xu Changting really brewed this time, the first sip still made Yuan Hong feel that the whole person was instantly excited, and then it seemed that there was a burning little mouse, which was slowly drilling into his stomach from his throat, forming a hot and hot track.

So a small glass of wine went down, which made Yuan Hong instantly involuntarily sigh and exclaim: "What a strong wine, not bad!" I love it! ”

Here, Yuan Hong was drinking wine and eating side dishes under the service of the palace maids and eunuchs, while Xu Changting over there had already climbed the mountain for more than an hour out of breath and sweating profusely.

The Shengfeng Mountain Range can be described as a natural barrier on the side of Danfeng City, coupled with the Hupao Spring located in the middle of the mountainside, the water flow has not stopped for many years, not only creating the vast Tianwang Lake at the foot of the mountain, but also allowing Danfeng City to introduce a magnificent river, and also creating almost all the fertile land around Danfeng City.

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Danfeng City is extremely suitable as the capital of a dynasty, and even in the war years, Danfeng City will not fall into trouble due to lack of food in most cases because of the fertile land around it.

Xu Changting took Huo Nuer to rest for a while at the Hupao Spring halfway up the mountain, and then pointed straight to Zhurong Peak along the fork, and when he arrived at the top of Zhurong Peak, Hui Si Da Monk had already taken his junior brother, a middle-aged monk who looked down on Xu Changting very unpleasantly: Hui Cheng.

"Changting has seen the master and the monk." Xu Changting saluted the tall monk who stood in front of the mountain gate with white eyebrows and a smile.

And Hui Cheng next to him did not hide his disgust for Xu Changting, turned his head and snorted with his nostrils, which was regarded as a greeting to Xu Changting.

"Did it go well?" Monk Hui Si had long been accustomed to the "discord" between the stranger in his eyes and his junior brother, so he immediately took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Xu Changting.

Xu Changting wiped the sweat stains on his face after thanking him, and then looked at the mountain gate where there was an endless stream of good men and women: "The incense is still so strong?" Monk Huicheng, have you peeked at any woman's waist, breasts, and ass ...... these days? ”

"Boy, I'll tell you, I'm Huicheng...... You sharp-tongued little sick man. Hye-sung stammered a little, so he never took advantage of his words.

"Lord Lingzun and your family, but they also arrived at Tianwang Lake?" Hui Si looked at Xu Changting's pale cheeks, even though he was tired and sweaty, and asked with a slight sigh.

"Coming together, my father and two friends are with me, so I can't come up to see you in person." Xu Changting took over the eldest sister Xu Changhong from Huo Nuer's hands, and threw the gift box that he had prepared for him directly to Hui Cheng.

August can be described as a crisp autumn air, and because of the strong wind on the top of the mountain, it is a little cooler than the bottom of the mountain, a robe was taken out of Huisi's wide arms and handed to Xu Changting: "Put it on, the mountain wind is cool, so as not to be infected with the wind cold." ”

"Thank you, Master." Xu Changting put on a thick dark red robe as he said, and then went to the Houshan Temple with Hui Si and Hui Cheng.

Because of the relationship between the Buddha worship of the Great Wei Kingdom, and the Queen Mother and the Empress are also extremely worshipful of Buddha in recent years, the two most famous temples in Danfeng City: Yongning Temple and Yaoguang Temple, can be said to have received great imperial grace over the years.

Yongning Temple, which used to be just a few simple temples, has now been transformed into a real land of thousands of laws.

The peak of Zhurong, which originally seemed to be lonely, has also become magnificent and solemn as the temples are dotted with each other. When the clouds cover the fog barrier, if you walk on the winding and deep mountain road paved with bluestone slabs between the various temples of Yongning Temple, look at the endless variety of emerald green towering trees, strange mountains and strange stones, and listen to the long and loud bells and Buddha horns, and the chirping of various birds, it is easy for people to mistakenly think that they have entered the Pure Land of Bliss.

The Daxiong Treasure Hall of Buddhism, I don't know how many times it has been expanded over the years, in short, the grandeur and solemnity of the entire Daxiong Treasure Hall is no less than the most magnificent Daqing Hall of Fengyang Palace.

In addition to the eleven life-size Buddha statues that Xu Changting is familiar with, there are now two more jade giant Buddhas, which are also solemn and solemn, so that people can't help but have the idea of kneeling and worshiping after stepping into the main hall.

"I haven't told you that some time ago, the royal family sent countless craftsmen, and in more than two years, not far from the temple where you usually live, another ninth-level floating slaughter was built." Hui Si took Xu Changting across the Daxiong Treasure Hall and continued to walk towards the back mountain where the pilgrims of Yongning Temple stopped.

"Is that the one?" Xu Changting stood on the top of the steps, just in time to see a spire that seemed to go straight into the sky, and asked.

"The floating slaughter is as high as ninety zhang, and the upper brake is ten zhang high, a total of 100 zhang." In Hui Si's eyes, when he introduced these to Xu Changting, he did not look excited and proud, but with a trace of deep worry and melancholy.

"Then you didn't go down the mountain to the palace, thank you for returning the vulgar junior brother?" Xu Changting followed Hui Si and slowly walked down the steps, teasing the great monk Hui Si next to him.

Walking down the steps and passing through the evergreen pines and cypresses on both sides, each estimated to be a hundred years old, Hui Si didn't seem to realize Xu Changting's ridicule: "You came here this time, I'm afraid it's not good, right?" ”

Xu Changting turned his head, and sure enough, Huo Nuer blocked Hui Cheng at this moment, preventing him from continuing to move forward with them.

shouted cheers at Huo Nuer, and then, as expected, Hui Cheng began to stammer and threaten to warn Xu Changting: If you dare to come to Yongning Temple again in the future, I will beat you once I see you.

Xu Changting replied without looking back: "Then you can promise Huo Nuer first." ”

Hui Cheng shouted angrily, but his senior brother and the host of Yongning Temple, Hui Si, turned a deaf ear and continued to move forward with Xu Changting without looking back.

"Am I saving the Buddha or destroying the Buddha?" Xu Changting stepped over the knee-high threshold and looked at the doorway in front of him like a black hole and asked.

The slight echo made Xu Changting's words, in this doorway that was dozens of feet long, seem quite alarming.

"Buddhahood has a fateful person, but it also accepts sentient beings. If there is no one law, there are thousands of worlds. But after all, it can't escape the harassment of the world. As a monk, how can you only see one or two sides? In the dark doorway, Huith's voice was solemn.

"The Buddha said that the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and meaning are the six roots, and the Buddha's words are hard, wet, warm, and moving are the four majors. But today's Buddhism ...... At least in Yongning Temple, except for Hui Cheng and you, I can't see who is the real three clear and four innocent, the six roots are pure, and the four are empty. Xu Changting rarely put away his smile and said to the great monk Huisi.

"You, ah, are always plausible, the Buddha talks about the realm and victories, so you can't ask everyone who cultivates the Buddha to be like Huicheng. Just like you...... When I was seven years old, I was ignorant of what I said on the boulder behind the door: Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. The realm is there, but the victory is ...... I can't see the six paths of Buddhism clearly. But...... Weiyang, no matter what you are here today, I hope you will think it through, so as not to make mistakes and make mistakes. After speaking, Hui Si slowly pushed open the huge temple door, and the sunlight instantly shone into the deep doorway, as if opening another world.

"So, Master knows what I'm going to do?" Xu Changting followed Hui Si out of the temple gate.

"A few years ago, when you didn't go to Xining with your family, when did you not think that one day you would destroy the Buddha to become angry? Hui Cheng is obsessed with Buddha heart, and has always been a joke when you are a joke. But do you think I think so, too? Huith asked with a smile.

"I just want to suppress the Buddha and rule the world, do you believe it?" Xu Changting tilted his head, his face was still very pale and sickly.

"What do you look like...... I'm afraid there hasn't been a breakthrough yet, right? Huith frowned and asked worriedly.

"Are you lying to me? Can anyone really break through? Xu Changting complained.

Hui Si shook his head and smiled, and continued to move forward with Xu Changting, not far away was the ninth-level floating slaughter that went straight into the sky.

"It was your own choice, and no one forced you to take this dangerous path." Huisi said irresponsibly.

"The problem is that it's too late to regret it now." Xu Changting suddenly looked up at the sky helplessly like a deflated ball, fortunately, it was not yet night, and in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sin he was about to suffer would probably be even more terrible.

"So I think you might as well take it easy, right now you're a mud bodhisattva crossing the river." Stepping on the steps of the ninth-level floating slaughter, Hui Si slowly turned around and looked at Xu Changting, who was one step behind him.

At this time, Xu Changting, standing at the foot of the steps, his height had just reached the chest of the tall Hui Si, Hui Si looked at Xu Changting, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "By the side of the Queen Mother, there is also a master named Gao Bodhisattva, and he is the master of the Bodhisattva Dao. The wild boy in front of him has good kung fu, plus the two gun masters you mentioned ....... ”

"Xie Jingyao of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Wang Yanzhang of Xining." Xu Changting said seriously.

"Even if it's the four of you...... I'm afraid it's no match for him. Unless it's ...... Your bodhisattva path and the Diamond Sutra can be accomplished. Hui Sixiang's gaze instantly became very sharp, piercing Xu Changting's pale and sickly cheeks.
