Chapter 335: Dashi Temple Spreads the Dharma
Happy New Year! 〗
Abbot Haimo and Abbot Yunxiang listened to Wang Hou's question, their faces changed, the two looked at each other, and Haimo asked: "A white Bodhi branch has been born in five hundred years, I have indeed seen such a record, but I can't remember which scripture it is...... Shaoxia just said that the Dharma Zen staff is made of white Bodhi branches? No wonder Yunxiang and I went to the capital these days, and vaguely heard people talking about the Dharma Zen staff, it turned out to be like this! The abbot of Yunxiang was full of anticipation: "Can Wang Shaoxia tell us what is going on?" ”
Wang Hou said secretly: It seems that the Dharma Zen staff is really as the eldest princess said, it has not spread out, and it has not caused much sensation, otherwise they will often go to the capital these days, and they will definitely not know nothing. He said what the Dashi Temple heard from the big-eared monk and the white-eyed monk, but omitted the process of rescuing the holy woman.
Hemmer whispered: "'Without passing through and without covering, the Buddha fate is lost; Mida Christmas, Zen cane reappeared. Is this statement true or false? Standing on the beach on the fifth night of October, can you really see the Buddha light rushing to the sky in the northwest direction? …… It may be an exaggeration to say that those who have attained the Zen rod will be able to become a Buddha on the ground, but it will certainly help to attain the state of Dzogchen......"
The Qixia Temple of the abbot of Yunxiang is in Nanjing, he was sent to Beijing by the imperial court at the beginning of last year, and he heard Haimo say this, and said: "In April last year, I heard the news that the nine-colored lotus was about to be born, and I was ready to go to Jiuhua Mountain, but because the capital was about to be moved, I couldn't separate and missed the opportunity. I heard that he was later obtained by a small monk in Jiuhua Mountain, and achieved his immortal martial arts, and he also broke into the top three in the martial arts conference. ”
Haimo nodded, and said: "Not only that, let's contact the Lushan Buddha lamp on the night of last Chinese New Year's Eve, it's only been a year and a half, first the nine-colored lotus, then the Lushan Buddha lamp, and now the Dharma Zen staff, the things of the Buddha Gate are frequent, will there be great changes in the world?" ”
When Abbot Yunxiang heard him say this, he was stunned in his heart, thinking of the move of the capital to Beijing, and secretly wondered if it had something to do with it? I opened my mouth to say it, but I couldn't help it. only said: "If this rumor is true, we must not miss this opportunity, and we must see the Dharma Zen staff." ”
Wang Houlai "Tianyuan", not only with the three of them to meet tomorrow together, but also to learn more about the Dharma Zen staff from their mouths, seeing that the sky was dark, Wudang Qizi was still waiting for a meal, so he got up to say goodbye, and the three of them sent out of the door, waving goodbye.
At midnight the next day, the sky was already bright, and Wang Hou and his party of twelve horsemen left the harbor at the same time and headed for the ancient capital. Half an hour later, I saw Qiao Lin and her people standing at the intersection from a distance, in addition to the eldest princess, Master Ali, Xinlian, the woman with phoenix eyes, the woman with apricot eyes and two palace maids, there was also Xiao Na among them, with a silk scarf around her neck, Qiao Lin holding her with one hand and a hat in the other.
When Wang Hou saw Cortana, he remembered the conflict between Singh and the chief, and asked, "Cortana, how are you doing these days?" Do the chiefs and young lords dare to bully you? Xiao Na didn't know that Wang Hou had been to the village and was the "cow god" who saved herself and Abba, and wondered how he knew that Abba was being bullied, so she responded: "With the cow god blessing us, they don't dare to look for Abba again." ”
Qiao Lin said to Wang Hou: "Xiao Na is going to the capital, and I happened to see her, so I took her." Before Wang Hou could speak, he heard Xiao Na say, "Thank you, sister." Jolene grew up so big, it was the first time she was called "sister", she couldn't close her mouth with a smile, put on the hat again, and hugged Cortana on the horse, the two were born alike, so they were more like sisters.
Wang Hou looked at her excited appearance and said secretly: This is not bad, with Xiao Na by her side, I am afraid she will not pester me to tell stories anymore. When the eldest princess saw that everyone had arrived, she said in a deep voice, "General Wang, let's hurry." Wang Hou wanted to introduce everyone to each other, but listening to her cold voice, he didn't seem to want to talk more to Haimo and Wudang, so he had to give up. took off the hat on her head and handed it to her: "Celestial princess, in order to avoid trouble on this trip, you'd better wear this like Jolene." ”
The eldest princess didn't expect him to be like this, her face was slightly unnatural, I don't know if Wang Hou said that he was "beautiful and fragrant", or if she was not used to wearing a Taoist hat, she hesitated for a while, took it on her head, and thanked: "Thank you, General." "Celestial princess, don't be polite, I've been wearing this hat for a whole year, and I haven't been willing to wash it." Wang Hou said as he leaned over and grabbed a handful of soil on the ground and smeared it on his face.
Because he was wearing a hat, he couldn't see the expression of the eldest princess, and when he saw that she no longer answered, he turned over his horse and rode forward. The lily fairy smiled at Wang Houjiao, Wang Hou made a grimace, urged the horse to follow, and everyone continued to hurry.
Although it was only two miles away, the road was full of pedestrians, and the crowd could not ride horses, and when they entered the city, there were even more people, accompanied by drumming and elephants, and the scene was very spectacular. Fortunately, Xinlian was clever, led everyone to lead the horse, turned to a remote place, deposited the horse on a field, paid the money, took the sign of storing the horse, and then returned to the main road, and flocked to the Dashi Temple to promote the Dharma with the crowd.
After walking for more than two miles, a small river stopped in front, the river was about twenty zhang wide, and a tall suspension bridge hung on it, and the people on the bridge were endless. The creek resembles a moat, the deepest part is only more than one person deep, and many people do not walk on the bridge, but wade to the other side.
"This is a local tradition, and to go from the river to the other side is not only to show sincerity, but also to cleanse the body and better listen to the Dharma," explained to the people. Wang Hou said secretly: This river must have been excavated manually, and when I came to Dashi Temple that night, I didn't see the bridge.
Suddenly, the crowd in front stopped flowing, Xinlian stood on tiptoe and looked at it, and said: "There are so many people here today, although the square of the temple can accommodate more than 200,000 people, but looking at this posture, I'm afraid that now the people are full, and I can't enter." Wang Hou remembered the agarwood wrist beads given by the strange prince, looked at the crowd that was tightly blocked, and sighed: "Even if there are tokens, you can't get in, why are there so many people?" ”
Xiao Na was whispering to Qiao Lin, and when she heard Wang Hou say that there was a token, she said, "You can go around to the back door, there is someone guarding there, if there is a token, you may be able to enter." A sentence reminded Xinlian, said yes again and again, and led everyone to turn to the right. Seeing Cortana standing still, Jolene asked, "Cortana, aren't you going with us?" "Sister, there are a lot of people here, so I'll sell silk scarves here."
Hearing Xiao Na say this, Qiao Lin saw the Danfeng-eyed woman glancing at Wang Hou from time to time, and her heart was already unhappy, and she pointed at the Danfeng-eyed woman, the apricot-eyed woman and the two palace maids with her hand: "You can't enter even if you have tokens, so many people, you, you, you and you, are here to accompany Xiao Na." After a while, if you get separated, go to the place where you just kept your horses. ”
The eldest princess listened to what she said and didn't say much, and the four women had to stay. Xinlian led a few people out of the crowd, and after walking for a while, they arrived in front of a bluestone bridge. Wang Hou didn't see the bluestone bridge that night, presumably because Xinlian was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't go this way. After crossing the bridge, there are dozens of families, and after a few more turns, they arrive under the wall of the temple, and go up along the root of the wall, and after walking a short distance, they will see a back door. Xinlian stepped forward and tapped on the door, but couldn't hear the movement inside, Jolene stepped forward and banged on the door, and finally someone answered.
After a while, the door opened, a little novice poked out his head, asked in Sanskrit, without waiting for Xinlian to answer, Wang Hou immediately showed his wrist beads, the little novice quickly opened the door, and after everyone entered, he bolted the door again, and led everyone through the corridor to the front yard.
Turning around a few halls, the group of people was dumbfounded, only to see that the square was full of black pressed heads, and at a glance there were crowds of people, most of them sat on the ground, and some were still kneeling on the ground. In the middle of the site, there is a platform, and in the middle of the platform is a pagoda about five zhang high, the body of the tower is plated with gold, and it shines with brilliant golden light. This golden pagoda, Wang Hou had already seen it on the fence in the backyard that night, and when he watched it up close, he felt that the momentum was extraordinary.
"You guys just wait here, and I'll go in and make an announcement." The little novice told Xinlian to keep everyone where they were and not to go away, and he turned around and walked into a large hall. I didn't have a lot of effort, and I stepped out in one step, and it was Prince Froze! Wang Hou hurriedly took a few steps and arched his hand: "Why is His Royal Highness the Prince here?" ”
Hearing Wang Hou speak, Froze reacted, he had seen Wang Hou change his face several times, but he didn't care, and laughed: "No wonder Xiao Shami speaks with a trembling voice, it turns out that General Wang is here." "Wherever he knows, it's all because of the Buddhist beads of His Royal Highness the Prince." Wang Hou was afraid that if he continued to talk more, he would attract Qiao Lin behind him to speak excessively, so he hurriedly said, "Today I brought a group of friends over to disturb His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Princess Celestia and Jolene both carried Dao Li, and Froze glanced at everyone and hugged her fists: "It's a pleasure to meet you, friends!" General Wang, let's go in quickly, General Zheng is already here. When Wang Hou heard that Zheng He was also inside, he was overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to signal Froze to go first, Froze pulled Wang Hou's hand, and the two walked side by side in front.
Qiao Lin saw that Froze was very uncomfortable, and seeing that Wang Hou was so close to him, she snorted coldly, but fortunately, there was a lot of noise in the square, and Froze was not heard. The eldest princess noticed that her sister was different, and from Wang Hou's "His Royal Highness the Prince", she guessed that it was the strange prince, and took her sister's hand, implying that she should not be reckless. Jolene is not an ignorant person, and with her sister's hints, she quickly calmed down.
Entering the main hall, there were many people sitting in the room, although Wang Hou had plastered dust on his face, Zheng He still recognized it, got up and said with a smile: "General Wang, you are finally here, come, I will introduce you to you, this is His Majesty the King." Wang Hou heard Zheng He say that the king of Guli is called Shamidi, and the two have a good relationship, so they bowed down and worshipped. At this time, all the people who came in followed. Zheng He naturally knows the seven sons of Wudang and the lily fairy, and he is no stranger to the abbot of Haimo, the abbot of Yunxiang, and the master of Lemen, but he doesn't know a few other people.
After taking a seat, Wang Hou carefully looked at the people in the room, there were many familiar faces, and he saw the big-eared abbot and the white-eyed monk sitting side by side that night, I don't know how Froze told them, and he was sorry in his heart, but it was not easy to take the initiative to say it now. Turning his eyes, he saw that Tiesaro was also here, Tiesaro nodded at Wang Hou, then turned his gaze and whispered something to a monk beside him, I don't know if he didn't recognize the eldest princess and the little princess, or pretended not to know.
Looking at the past again, he saw the son of Jami of Hurumus, Wang Hou was no stranger to him, and the martial arts conference was in the same group with him, Froze, and Qiao Lin, guessing that he was invited as a guest together with the envoys of various countries. While he was looking at it, he suddenly heard someone say, "Abbot with big ears, please preach the Dharma to everyone first." ”
