Chapter 559: Jishan Temple
West Mountain is a mountain next to the West River more than ten miles outside Chongqing Mansion.
The mountains are steep.
The mountains are densely forested.
Just the top of the mountain......
Li Chenan stood on the top of the mountain.
It doesn't have a mountain top.
The top of it was as if it had been slashed by a sword, and it was a huge platform.
There were many peach trees growing on the platform, but more of them were still green meadows.
There are many wild flowers blooming on the meadow, and standing here, you can almost overlook the whole city of Chongqing Province.
The Jishan Temple is at the northernmost point of this platform.
There are also several peach trees on the left and right sides of the temple.
Behind the temple is a bottomless cliff!
The temple is not big, the front temple and the back yard, covering an area of only two acres.
Li Chenan stood in front of this temple.
He had Zhong Liruo on his shoulder.
By his side is Zhong Liyou.
He was followed by Zhongli, Ruoshui, Xiao Baozi, and Ning Chuchu, three pretty girls.
Of course, a little further away from him were the two knives of the Makiyama Knife and Xiao Wu.
A little farther away, there were hundreds of generals from the mansion led by Yuan Su.
"This is the Jishan Temple,"
Zhong Liyou pointed to this temple and said: "When this Jishan Temple was repaired, it was a craftsman invited by Zhongli Mansion to build this temple bigger, but He Xishan said that after all, it was a temporary residence and there was no need. ”
Li Chen'an looked at the closed temple door and asked, "Uncle was already in Shuzhou at that time?" ”
Zhong Liyou nodded: "That's from that time...... In the spring of the fourth year of Zhaohua, Zhongli Mansion began to operate Shuzhou. ”
"The peach trees on the west mountain, including the peach grove from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, were also planted at that time."
Li Chenan looked at the budding peach trees and asked:
"Does Uncle often come to this Jishan Temple?"
"The first three years were occasional."
"Three years ago, He Xishan took a child, and Zhongli Mansion sent two nurses and three maidservants...... This is what Mother commanded. "At that time, we didn't know that the child would be the eldest son of the emperor, we just thought it was the illegitimate son of a noble man in Kyoto."
"It's just that one day three years later, the two nurses and the three maidservants also returned to Zhongli Garden, saying that the monk said that they didn't need to stay in the temple anymore."
"When I came up again, I didn't see the child again. He Xishan said that the child should not stay in this Jishan Temple, because his fate is not over. ”
Li Chenan thought for a moment and asked, "What are the characteristics of that child?" ”
Zhong Liyou shook his head: "Born fair-skinned and lovely, although he is only three years old, he is smart and clever, I remember that he was able to memorize the two hundred and six crosses of the Prajna Heart Sutra at that time. ”
A three-year-old child who can read and write can also memorize the Heart Sutra of Prajna is indeed a smart and clever child.
He Xishan sent the child out at that time...... Usually it is extremely difficult for a person to retain memories before the age of five after they have grown up.
He did this because he didn't want the kid to remember the place, or not remember the past.
Where would he send the child?
He used to be the great monk of the Donglin Monastery in the Yue Kingdom......
He has no relatives in Ningguo!
His greatest possibility was to send the child to Yue Guo and hand it over to Donglin Zen Monastery for adoption.
In this way, the identity of the child will not be revealed, and the safety of the child can be ensured to the greatest extent.
The news of Yue Guo has not yet come back.
Li Chen'an didn't know that there was a battle between the two major Zen monasteries in the east and west of the Yue Kingdom, and the Donglin Monastery almost destroyed the Xilin Monastery under the leadership of the great monk of Tranquility.
The two major Zen monasteries in the east and west have been unified and renamed Zen Buddhism.
Wen Zhuoyu knew about this, but Wen Zhuoyu did not tell Li Chen'an.
At the Jade Buddha Temple in Kyoto, Wen Zhuyu gave Master Pukong an idea, he said, "You can send someone to ask He Xishan to go to Yue Guo, and the broken things in Yue Guo can be solved."
This is the reason why Hexi Mountain is not in Jishan Temple.
"Where are the Guardians?"
Zhong Liyou turned around and pointed to the south: "In Nanshan." ”
Li Chenan turned his head to see that there was no mountain in the smoke and rain, and it was extremely far away.
He originally thought that the Divine Guard Army would be in Xishan, but he didn't expect it to be in Nanshan.
This made him feel a little reassured, but he was a little puzzled:
"All the time in Nanshan?"
"Yes, it's more suitable for the training of the Divine Guards, and ...... Outside the Shengu Pass in Nanshan is Huifu, and the Shenwei Army is placed in Nanshan to guard against Huifu and knock on the pass. ”
"There are still a lot of toasts in the mountains in the southwest, and this is also to prevent the toast rebellion."
Li Chenan nodded, no matter what, Old Madam Fan's move to guard the southwest gate for Ning Guo is also a great merit.
He put down the Zhongli Ruohua that was riding around his neck, walked to the two dark gates of Jishan Temple, and stretched out his hand to push the doors open.
On a rainy day, the light in the door was very dim, Li Chen'an waited for a while, let his eyes adapt to the light, and only then did he see that this temple was enshrined in a Wei Tuo.
Veda is the protector of the Buddha.
Usually he stands behind the statue of Maitreya Buddha, facing the Mahavira Hall, to support the Dharma and to protect the monks.
But there is no Mahavira Hall here.
This Veda is facing the door.
The pestle in his hand is also on the ground, which means that this is a small temple, and the monks who refuse to travel here eat and live for free.
Li Chenan walked in and stood in front of the statue of Buddha Vedas.
He raised his eyes and looked, stretched out his hand and touched the tribute platform in front of the Buddha statue, rubbed his fingertips, the dust was thick, and it was true that no one had cleaned it for a while.
Bypassing this Buddha statue, you will come to the back door of this temple.
The back door is open.
He walked over and crossed the threshold, and saw a small backyard.
This place should be the dwelling place of Hexishan.
He walked around the cloister in the backyard, returned to the back door, thought for a moment, and went straight through the patio to the main house.
Pushing open the door to the main house, there was a faint musty smell inside.
It's simple inside the house.
A table, four stools, and a bed.
The rest is nothing.
There was a window on the opposite wall, and the faint sound of a stream under the cliff could be heard outside the window.
He stood in this room for a moment, then turned around and walked out again, walked out of the small courtyard, walked out of the main temple, came to the temple gate, and stood in the drizzle.
"Let's go, let's go back, and come up when He Xishan comes."
Zhong Liruohua jumped up, hung on Li Chen'an's neck again, turned over, and rode on Li Chen'an's shoulder.
In this regard, Li Chenan does not feel that there is anything wrong.
After all, it's a sister-in-law.
After all, this sister-in-law is so young and so cute.
But Zhong Liyou looked at Zhong Liruohua twice, but Li Chenan carried Zhong Liruohua up the mountain like this, Li Chenan's face was not unusual, he didn't speak after all.
Xiao Baozi glared at Zhong Liruo, this little girl ...... Li Chenan rode a donkey, and she rode Li Chenan...... What's the matter?
Zhongli Ruoshui was also surprised, and became more and more worried about his own sister.
"Brother-in-law,"
"Huh?"
"How about I take you to Chongqing City in the afternoon?"
"I'll tell you, Chongqing City's sugar dumplings are delicious! By the way, there is also a Shu opera performed by the troupe of Shuijingtai, which is also good-looking! ”
Zhong Li Ruohua didn't care about anyone's eyes at all, and she said with great anticipation:
"The water mirror platform is so big, but you have to go early, if it's late, you can only sit in the back. You can't see the stage in the back, and you can't hear what they're singing! ”
Li Chenan smiled slightly and thought for a while, "Okay, then let's go to the Water Mirror Terrace in the afternoon to listen to the play!" ”
"Okay, let's go!"
"No, go to anyone you want!"
Zhong Liruo pouted and said reluctantly: "Then let's go to the restaurant after watching the play?" ”
"What's delicious?"
"Half Moon Tower!"
