Chapter 11 Hongfu Temple
Soon Jiang Liu and his party came to a mountain peak, looking at a huge mountain peak more than 100 zhang high in front of them, like an eagle falcon with its sharp beak inserted into the sky, and above the peak stood a majestic temple, Hongfu Temple.
"Master Xuanzang, this mountain is Hongfu Temple, and I have already asked someone to arrange it. At this time of day, pilgrims are in an endless stream, and it will decrease half an hour before the curfew. In the past three days, because the old abbot has passed away, he has refused to accept pilgrims. Master Li introduced this to Jiang Liu.
"The location of this temple is excellent, it is really a place where the bell is sensitive and beautiful, let's go, let's go up the mountain." Jiang Liu said slowly.
Little by little, the people began to walk up the mountain. You can touch it on the mountain, and the clouds and mist that drift in, walking on the mountain road, often have a feeling of soaring clouds and fog.
Soon the river reached the top of the mountain, and the gate of Hongfuji Temple was wide open, and many monks stood quietly behind the gate to greet them.
Jiang Liu saw that in front of the door, there was a couplet, "Promote the Buddha's great wish, save people and save the world; Bless all sentient beings, start and finish. "At the top, there are three big characters in Hongfu Temple.
Jiang Liu dismounted, followed by Master Li into the temple, under the leadership of a monk in his forties named Chi Song, first passed through the three gates, and then entered the Guanyin Hall, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Dharma Hall and other 15 buildings before and after.
The front mountain, the back mountain and even the monk's place are all visited, and you can learn about them all.
After accompanying Jiang Liu to visit the temple, Master Li left with all the officers and soldiers, leaving Jiang Liu, Zhengde, Zhengming, and Chisong.
It's sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the earth, and everything seems quiet and peaceful.
The boulder where the river flows is the highest point of the mountain. You can see everything in Chang'an City, and the Hongfu Temple below can also be seen, with a panoramic view, such a terrain, as long as you stop at this position, it will give people a sense of relaxation and joy, fluttering and wanting to be fairy.
"Akamatsu, was this mountain once famous?" Jiang Liu asked.
"Abbot, this is not famous, because Hongfu Temple is on this mountain, so people call it Hongfu Mountain. Akamatsu stepped forward and said respectfully.
"I wanted to change the name, but since I didn't, then I would like to give this mountain a name, and it will be called Lingyun Peak. Jiang Liu said lightly.
"Abbot, this is not good, suddenly there is an extra name, people are not very good at accepting, and this name is a bit too domineering, let's ask the court." Akamatsu said in embarrassment.
"It's okay, Mrs. Tang... Tang Wang has already told me, everything in Hongfu Temple is in charge of me, it is too late today, tomorrow I will change it, and set up a monument at the foot of the mountain, Lingyun Peak. ”
Jiang Liu just looked at everything under Lingyun Peak quietly, and although his tone was flat, it was extremely firm and unquestionable, just like his cultivation path.
Jiang Liu jumped directly off the boulder and beckoned a few people to walk towards Hongfu Temple.
"Let's go, you've been waiting for a long time, you haven't eaten yet, let's go eat together." ”
......
After a while, Jiang Liu looked at the meal in front of him, speechless, and asked Chi Song.
"Chi Song, isn't it that Tang Wang said that you can eat meat, why is there no meat in the whole temple?
"Yes, the abbot, the king of Tang said it, but the law of the country does not interfere with the law of the temple. The old abbot once said that we should ban meat, so the whole temple never eats meat. Akamatsu said slowly.
"Okay, it's okay, let's eat and fast, and after eating, take me to the Zangjing Pavilion. ”
Jiang Liu is full of helplessness, it seems that he has a lot of things to change, but the old abbot has just passed away, and he is talking about it after the first seven days, but his food has to be changed.
turned back to his two nephews and said, "Zhengde Zhengming, give you two a task." After 3 days of Zhengde, he taught the Dharma to the temple up and down, and all kinds of concepts were based on the Pure Land Temple, and the wrong place was changed. Zhengming, you will go down the mountain tomorrow, buy some meat, and take charge of the chores in the temple in the future. ”
"Yes, Uncle Shi!" the two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly agreed.
When Akamatsu heard about it before, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little displeased, but he didn't say anything and continued to bow his head to eat.
Jiang Liu quickly finished eating, and the meal did not have any taste, it was tasteless.
A moment later, Jiang Liu followed Chisong to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. He ignored the 3,600 volumes of scriptures and Zen teachings placed in front of him, and went straight to the innermost.
Seeing the quaint bench, the entire bench only stores a scripture book, the Yijin Sutra.
Jiang Liu was a little excited, and solemnly picked up this Yijin Sutra. As for the title of this book, I heard it before I came to this world. It's just a pity that the Pure Land Temple does not have this scripture, only the Diamond Sutra, so Jiang Liu has never had the opportunity to learn this method.
Take it in your arms and study it when you get back.
"Let's go, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion to take a look, the day before yesterday I fought with a quenching demon, and I found that I didn't have a sharp weapon, and the magic weapon was very bad, but fortunately, I won with my strength. Jiang Liu said lightly, as if he was talking about something inconsequential.
After hearing this, Chi Song's eyes lit up instantly, and he continued to lead the way for Jiang Liu, without speaking.
"By the way, Master Chisong, you seem to be a cultivator at the peak of the quenching realm, let's have a fight in the future, let me learn. Jiang Liu said again.
"The abbot said and laughed, just learn from each other, the abbot is so young at this grade to quench the body 5 recultivation, step into the acquired innate realm, 10 years into the innate will inevitably be expected. Akamatsu praised sincerely.
"I don't really think so, I set a goal for myself, I have to be born within 1 year. Jiang Liu said very casually.
Knowing the effect of the mysterious small stones, this is the most conservative estimate.
Chisong's pupils contracted suddenly, and his heart was very unsettled, you must know that there is an unimaginable gap between the acquired and the congenital. He believed that Jiang Liu's talent could reach the innate realm.
But hearing Jiang Liu's words, 1 year, Akamatsu wanted to say that it was too arrogant. But looking at his confident eyes, every move, it seemed that he was talking about an ordinary thing, and he hesitated a little.
"That's... Congratulations to the abbot. Akamatsu said a little uncomfortably, obviously his mood was very uncalm at this time, and he was a little contemptuous.
Jiang Liu didn't say much, it would be nice to have the right opportunity to learn about education. Although his current realm is fivefold, he is not afraid of the peak of quenching, and even has some small expectations.
