Chapter 33 To the White Horse Temple
At breakfast, Liu Menglong said solemnly to his children: "When you go to the White Horse Temple with your mother today, you must listen to your mother's words and not run around." After all, it is now a troubled era and a warring state, and it is likely that there will be people with ulterior motives who can't help me, so they will wait for you to take the opportunity. ”
He caught a glimpse of Liu Yunxiao's face showing a look of indifference, so he said sharply: "Xiao'er, especially you, don't take my words to heart. Otherwise, don't go! ”
Liu Yunxiao hurriedly lowered his head and said in a loud voice: "The child doesn't dare." Children must remember their father's teachings! ”
Liu Menglong snorted coldly and stopped talking.
After breakfast, Liu Menglong went to court. The four brothers and sisters followed Shen Ruyin to the White Horse Temple outside the southern city.
Liu Yuntian and Yuque sat in the carriage, watching Liu Yunxiao riding a high-headed horse in front of the troika of Liu's mansion, dressed luxuriously, and arrogantly leading more than a dozen masters to escort the way. There were more than a dozen masters behind him.
Liu Yuntian laughed secretly in his heart, this Liu Yunxiao is really a pretending product. However, this pomp, this posture, the limelight of the Marquis of Wuwei Mansion is really not covered.
When the pedestrians on the road saw this, they hurriedly hid on the side of the road. As soon as the team of Liu Mansion passed, they all pointed at Liu Yunxiao's back, whispering, and the look on their faces was full of helplessness and fear.
Liu Yuntian saw that so many people were walking towards the south of the city, so he asked Yuque: "Are so many people going to the White Horse Temple to make incense?"
Yuque nodded: "That's right! I heard that it is very effective to pray for blessings in the White Horse Temple, and the people of Los Angeles and the surrounding areas will go to the White Horse Temple to make incense. Especially on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, there are more people who enter the incense. ”
Liu's team walked out of the south gate of Los Angeles and continued to walk south for more than ten miles, Liu Yuntian saw a majestic mountain, asked the jade bird, and learned that this was the barrier Nanlong Mountain in the south of Los Angeles.
To the west of Los Angeles is Xifeng Mountain, to the north is the Tongji River, and to the east is the Wuding River. These two mountains and two rivers became a natural barrier to guard the city, coupled with the high and strong walls of the city. Los Angeles is indeed a fortress that cannot be conquered in the era of cold weapons.
The White Horse Temple is located at the foot of the main peak of Namyongsan. Liu Yuntian heard the bells in the temple from a distance, and suddenly remembered the melodious bells of the Shaolin Temple in Songshan in his previous life, and couldn't help but think of flying to another time and space.
When he came to the square in front of the White Horse Temple, Liu Yuntian found that there were already many pilgrims queuing up to enter the White Horse Temple. The square is full of horses, carriages and sedan chairs, and it is simply an ancient parking lot!
Liu Yuntian couldn't help but secretly speak, it seems that the power of religious belief has a really big impact on people! Especially in these times when there is no science and materialism.
Liu Yuntian's brothers and sisters got out of the carriage, and Liu Yunxiao also got off the horse, and led a dozen or so guards to follow Shen Ruyin to the temple.
The monk guarding the temple gate saw Shen Ruyin and his party, hurriedly opened the main gate, bowed down and led them to the temple.
The people queuing up at the side gate saw it, and some were resentful and helpless, and some admired and yearned. Liu Yuntian saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, and then looked at the beggars begging from people everywhere in the square, and the class gap was clear at a glance.
Liu Yuntian couldn't tell which Bodhisattva was offered in the White Horse Temple, but he just followed the others to kneel and worship incense in front of the various Bodhisattvas, which made this materialist full of unwillingness.
Suddenly, a crisp voice shouted, "Aunt Shen, you are also here to incense!"
