Volume 3: Jianghu Hand in Hand Chapter 30 Shenwu Temple
It is said that Han Ye and the three of them left Lin Yin's house, walked for four or five days, bypassed two mountains, and finally came to the gate of Shenwu Temple, which can be called the "mainstay of martial arts" in the morning.
During the period of Emperor Wu of Liang, Bodhidharma crossed the river with a reed, laid the foundation for the development of Buddhism, Shenwu Temple came into being at that time, plus the former Dynasty Xuanzang Master took the true scriptures, the people successively worshiped the temple Buddha, earned a lot of incense and candle money for Shenwu Temple, and borrowed to overhaul the temple. Now there are tens of thousands of monks in Shenwu Temple, with the purpose of "supporting the right path and purifying all sentient beings", preaching Buddhism everywhere, subduing demons and Pudu, and doing good deeds close to the people and alleys, which are widely known to the world.
Shenwu Temple is located in Shenwu Mountain, has gone through 600 years of spring and autumn, the boundary of the jurisdiction is 70 miles, the temple covers an area of 8,500 acres, the temple in the temple is brilliant, the golden Buddha is innumerable, tens of thousands of pilgrims come here every day, and there are countless people who visit and travel through here. The iron storehouse, grocery store, fabric store, wings, and fasting rooms in the temple are open to pilgrims all year round, and if it comes to the annual Dharma conference, Shenwu Temple will also help the poor in the past with materials. The passing officials are full of praise, and the ordinary people are also praised, and the streets of Shenwu Temple are known and heard, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and it has already become a Pudu city.
Han Ye and the three of them stood in front of the majestic mountain gate, but saw that there was a horizontal bar on the door as high as five zhang, and the two gilded characters "Shenwu" were written in block letters on the horizontal bar, which were shining and brilliant in the sun.
During the development of the Dharma Conference, the worshippers went in batches, and the people who left the temple set aside one by one, and the monks who guarded the door lined up in two rows, each greeting each other with a smile, and their temper was exceptionally good.
"Cloud Dream." Han Ye stood on the steps and observed, then called out to the woman in white behind him.
"Hmm." Situ Yunmeng thoughtfully came back to his senses from the grand view.
"How does this compare to our Mingjian Hall?" Han Ye took a sip of the drunken immortal drink and said.
"It's much more majestic, and it has the momentum of a big sect, compared to it, this door is really a little insignificant." Yun Meng said, lifted Luo Skirt, and stepped into the mountain gate with Han Ye, while Xue Yan, who was looking around, had already run to the front to watch the excitement.
When I entered the gate, I realized that Shenwu Temple was divided into inner temple and outer temple. The outer temple is mainly for pilgrims to worship, the temple stupa and the fasting room are located in the outer temple, and the inner temple is the place where many monks practice, from where you can faintly hear the endless voice of chanting the Buddha.
Han Ye had not forgotten the purpose of his trip, he wanted to take the two girls to spend the night here, and at the same time, he also had to find out what wrong his master had done to this sect in order to try his best to make amends, in view of this, he had to find the abbot of Shenwu Temple, Master Juekong, as soon as possible.
So Han Ye stopped a young monk who was passing by, raised his palm and saluted: "This master, may I ask where Master Juekong, the abbot of your temple, is now?" I have something important to look for him. ”
"Amitabha." The young monk politely replied to Han Ye and said, "Donor, the little monk is also new to this place for a short time, and I don't know the abbot's habits, but if you want to ask him where he is often, the little monk may be able to tell him." ”
Han Ye returned the salute indifferently: "Then please tell me one or two." ”
The young monk nodded, pointed to the north, and said, "Go that way, and go around the square to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, where I heard that the abbot often preaches the scriptures and the Tao." ”
Yun Meng put his hands on his abdomen dignifiedly, and saluted: "Thank you, master." ”
The young monk was stunned by Yunmeng Tianxian's face, and replied, "May the wishes of several donors come true." Then he hurried away.
Yunmeng looked at the north and asked Han Ye, "Ah Ye, what should I do now?" ”
Han Ye said: "We should first find Master Juekong and ask him to provide us with a place to stay, otherwise we will have to spend the night outside in this radius of seventy miles, and we will be tired of Yan'er." ”
"Yan'er Yan'er, you are Yan'er again! It's really going to be popular! Situ Yunmeng was ten thousand unhappy in her heart, but remembering what Xue Wei had said to her, she stroked her chest again and said, "I have the measure, I have the measure!" Don't worry about him in general! ”
Thinking of this, Situ Yunmeng showed a caring smile and said, "Yes, Yan'er is alive and kicking all the way, if she doesn't find a place for her to rest, she will die of suffering." ”
"Yunmeng has obviously had fewer disputes with Yan'er these days, and it seems that she has wronged herself for me." Han Ye thought about it like this, and said to Yun Meng: "Yun Meng, you have worked hard all the way. You go and call Yan'er over first, I'll wait for you here, the place here is too big, it's hard to find it if you're separated. ”
"Hmm." Yun Meng nodded, and couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, but after thinking about it, Han Ye cared about him after all, so he had less resentment and rushed towards the bazaar of Shenwu Temple.
As for Xue Yan, who was looking at the cloth in a fabric shop at this time, the fat monk who was watching the shop saw that Xue Yan was still gloomy after picking for a long time, so he walked over and said: "This female donor, this temple has a rule that during the Dharma Conference, if you encounter foreign tourists who are not clothed, you can give a set of clothes as appropriate to help the poor, but you are wearing such a beautiful ......."
"You've said it six times, don't you bother~!" Xue Yan frowned while looking at the fabric: "This woman is just to see if there are any good materials in your monk's shop, and I want to buy some back, but I turned over for a long time, and all of them were some coarse and rotten cloths." As she spoke, Xue Yan found that there was a small roll of silk thread pressed at the bottom of the cloth, and the silk thread was shining silver in the sun, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, pulled the sleeve of the fat monk, pointed to the silver thread and said, "This is good!" Give this to me! ”
"I can't do it, I can't help it!" The fat monk said with a bitter face: "Female donor, the silver silk was sent by the monks of the Western Regions, saying that it should be handed over to someone who is destined, and you can't act rashly!" ”
When Xue Yan heard this, she stared at herself and asked, "Isn't this girl like a destined person?" ”
The fat monk was stunned, shook his head and said, "It's not like that." ”
"Hmph, stinky bald ass!" Xue Yan said angrily in her heart: "What kind of fateful person, I'm afraid you are waiting for a rich person!" ”
Thinking of this, Xue Yan turned the pearl around, and had a plan, she pointed her finger outside the store and pretended to be surprised: "Ah! What's on fire over there? ”
"Which side?" The fat monk looked along Xue Yan's hand, Xue Yan took advantage of this great opportunity to grab the roll of silk thread and stuff it into the placket, and when the fat monk turned around with a blank face, Xue Yan was already sorting out her clothes, she pretended to pat the ashes on her body, and pretended to be helpless: "Isn't this a pure place for Buddhism?" And so much dust, staining my clothes, alas, go out. As he spoke, he slowly walked out of the store.
Although the fat monk was a little stupid, he was not too stupid, as soon as he realized that he had been deceived, he looked at the previous cloths again, and immediately shouted to Xue Yan outside the door: "Female benefactor, please stay!" ”
"The ghost is here!" Xue Yan stuck out her tongue and ran away.
The monk didn't chase far, and he didn't even ask someone to catch the thief, he suddenly remembered that this line was originally going to be given to someone who was destined, and suddenly smiled, and said in his heart: "Amitabha, the female benefactor is not only attached to this line, but also hopes to make good use of this thing." ”
Xue Yan was not in the mood to consider the monk's feelings at all, thinking that he would catch up at any time, so he ran and ran, until he was sure to completely get rid of the fat monk, then he turned triumphantly to find the way, and at this time, there was a little monk on the right side of the intersection holding a pile of books hanging through the intersection, he was small and couldn't see the front clearly, and Xue Yan accidentally collided with each other, and fell into a lot of meat.
"Oops", Xue Yan and the little monk sat on the ground one after another, and the books in the little monk's hands flew into the air and scattered all over the ground.
"It's over, it's over!" The little monk touched his bald head and said in frustration: "If you stain the scriptures, the master will definitely scold me to death!" ”
"Hey~~!" Xue Yan jumped up from the pile of books, patted the ash on her buttocks, closed her eyes and scolded: "Which bastard doesn't have long eyes when he walks!" You want to be tied into a hornet's nest by this girl, right? However, when she fixed her eyes, she realized that it was a little monk, who was at most ten years old, with a string of long Buddha beads hanging around his neck, and his appearance was immature and cute.
"Yes, I'm sorry, pretty sister." The little monk looked at the fierce Xue Yan, aggrieved to death, and only touched his bald head and said, "I have too many books to hold, and I haven't seen the way clearly, please don't be angry." ”
Xue Yan also knew that most of the blame was on herself, and her anger disappeared, and then she looked at the little monk's eyes that were very cute, so she apologized.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my sister shouldn't be angry at you!" Xue Yan gathered her brows, hurriedly ran over to pat the ashes on the little monk's body, and asked with concern, "Did the fall hurt?" I blame my sister for not being good! ”
The little monk thought that this beautiful sister was an arrogant and unreasonable person, and was ready to pick up books and leave in a low-key manner, but she was suddenly made like this, how could she not be flattered? Deng Shi was stunned.
Xue Yan took the initiative to help the little monk pick up the books into a pile, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Who is so ruthless!" There are so many books for a child to move, no, my sister will help you move! Xue Yan said that she was going to move the book.
"Don't!" The little monk hurriedly snatched the book from Xue Yan's hand, and said gratefully and obediently: "Thank you, beautiful sister, but the master said that everything needs to be practiced to be effective, and my business is still to be done by myself." ”
"Is that so?" Xue Yan touched the little monk's head and said with a smile: "Then don't be too reckless alone, be careful on the road, little bald~!" ”
The little monk was touched by Xue Yan and turned red, bowed his head and continued to deliver the book, while Xue Yan smiled brightly and watched the little monk leave.
At this time, Yun Meng also found Xue Yan, and hurriedly called here: "Yan'er! Swallows! ”
"Whoa!" It just so happened that Xue Yan was in a good mood now, she turned around and saw that it was Yunmeng, and she even put aside her previous fears and beckoned: "Yunmeng!" Over here! ”
"Why did you run so far?" Yun Meng complained, "It's time to go to find Master Juekong." ”
"Oh, let's go." Xue Yan followed Yunmeng and left, and when she left, she didn't forget to look back at the direction where the little monk left, as if she was full of hope.
