36. The Mystery of Kinkakuji Temple (4)
"This temple is not remote, it is actually near the official road?"
Huang Chang became more and more surprised--being close to the official road means that people often pass by, and when someone passes by, it is inevitable that there will be nighttime sleep, shelter from the rain on bad days, temporary rest, and other things. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf there are really demons entrenched here, then it will not be a long time ago? Guobei County is next door, how can it be so quiet?
Surprised, he simply jumped on a big tree to look at the topography of the temple - Huang Chang is quite familiar with the formations in the "Six Arts of Xianmen", and he is used to looking at the feng shui terrain first when he goes to a place. At this moment, he took a rough look, only to see that there was no one near it, just a pure rocky mountain, a miscellaneous wood, and an invisible place in feng shui, which was not suitable for building Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, but just ordinary wilderness. Not only is the terrain unlucky, but it seems to be a bit vicious.
This made him quite surprised, generally speaking, even if the monks and Taoists do not practice immortal arts, they should always know a little bit of feng shui and the art of public opinion, otherwise how can they cheat and cheat and drink? Building a temple is not a trivial matter, or he doesn't understand it, and it is natural to find a feng shui master in advance to see, how can he choose a location in such a place?
Thinking that his level was not good enough to see, Huang Chang simply took out a compass - with his current level in the formation, most feng shui gentlemen in the world really couldn't compare to him. However, after reading the Feng Shui set according to Mr. Feng Shui, the more I looked at it, the more annoyed I became:
"The leylines of the earth are silted, the water flow is cut off, there is no wind in front of it, there is no gathering of air in the back, there is neither a backing nor a shelter...... Grandma's is simply the land of the five decays! As a mass grave, it is almost the same, so what tendon did Monk Zhiguang make the wrong way in the first place, and he dared to build a temple in such a ghost place? This is not decay is unreasonable!"
He was here to look at feng shui, while Murong Ying carefully released his divine thoughts and scanned all the surroundings, especially the miscellaneous wood forest that surrounded the entire temple, and he had carefully inspected it - the principle of "entering the forest with caution" is not only effective for martial arts people, but also for immortal cultivators to be careful when they encounter the woods.
"There are no beasts or birds, there is a slight smell of decay, there may be some tombs and barren mounds in it, but it is inevitable that it will be near the temple...... Shall we go in and have a look?"
Murong Yingyi was bold and bold, he would not be intimidated by the wild wood and desolate tomb, and Huang Chang would not object to his proposal, so the two of them walked into the jungle one after the other.
............
The woods are overgrown with weeds and vines, but it can be seen that there was a road leading from the official road to the temple in the past, and it is still paved with bluestone steps, although most of them are broken today, but from the remains of the stone road that is almost close to the width of the official road, and some of the remains of stone lampstands on both sides, you can imagine the grand occasion of the heyday of Kinkakuji incense - there are lights on the road at night? You must know that this is not the civilized world of Huang Chang's previous life, the lights here are all boiled and waxed, and people with ordinary family backgrounds are reluctant to even have more in their rooms at night, not to mention using them to illuminate the road all night long?
At that time, the fortune of this Kinkakuji Temple was really unusual, but unfortunately it was still lost in the long river of time after all. Huang Chang walked on the ancient road a hundred years ago, and he couldn't help but feel nostalgic for the past again. With the Xiangshi clothes he was wearing, he walked swaying, and he was like a warlock who had inadvertently wandered around.
Next to him, Murong Ying was dressed in a warrior's uniform, mainly because the sword box on his back was not easy to hide, so he could only still pretend to be a martial artist. The reason why Huang Chang only brought Murong Ying over was because they both had storage space, and their weapons could be put away, so that they wouldn't look too aggressive - if Jin Rong and Wu Da Niu also came, one carrying a big stick and the other carrying a knife and a shield with a full body rune armor, there would really be monsters who might not dare to show their heads.
On the way, they passed a mass grave, and saw a lot of desolate graves, old mounds everywhere, looming beside the withered tree trunks, which looked very eerie and terrifying. In order to avoid camouflage and goofs, Huang Chang did not directly scan with his divine thoughts, but he was born with yin and yang eyes, and he could also see the trace of yin qi wrapped around the grave, I am afraid that there is something wrong below, but the color of the yin qi is very light, and it seems that it has not reached the level of a ghost or a zombie.
Further on, after a collapsed mountain gate, you will enter the temple. I saw that the palace tower was magnificent, and the pavilion was like that, although they were all very damaged, they could still make people fully feel the prosperity of the past. In the courtyard, on the original trail, the basil weeds are more than one person high, and no pedestrians have stepped on them for many years, which is really a picture of decline and decline.
Continue inward, bypassing the Heavenly King Hall, which enshrines the four vajra of Buddhism, and is the main hall. The main hall is preserved quite well, on the plaque of the forehead in the bright room, there are four big characters of "Ci Deng on the other side" in the main book, the pillars on both sides are hung with a pair of woodcut couplets, the upper link is "the temple towers over the clouds, the glow reflects the Dharma world", the lower link is "the floor is near the water and the moon, the light Zhao Zen machine". Although it has been a long time, the handwriting is still legible, and even faintly feels that some aura fluctuates in it.
Huang Chang and Murong Ying glanced at each other, and the two of them almost simultaneously felt that there was a trace of Buddhism Zen on the plaque and the couplets on both sides of the hall, but it was not a magic treasure, but after many years of incense offerings, and under the influence of the chanting of the great monks for many years, the Buddha's wish power was gathered on it. Most temples and Taoist temples are like this, even if they are only inhabited by mortals, demons and monsters often retreat. Although this hall has been abandoned for many years, there are still some remnants of the relics.
However, inside the main hall, the destruction is even more serious than the outside, looking at the remnants on the wall, Huang Chang estimated that a lot of gold leaf and gold dust were used in the decoration back then, but it caused disaster - almost every inch of the hall has been scraped with knives and axes, and there is not one exquisite mural in the past. There is a thick layer of incense ash on the ground, and the Buddha statues and the like are scattered all over the place. Not only was the golden body stripped of on the outside, but even the mud tire inside was shattered, probably because some people thought that the monk might be hiding something in the Buddha's belly - although the demons and monsters could not enter, the destructive power of human beings was not bad at all.
The two sighed once, and went around the main hall to the backyard, where the east and west rows of monks' houses were also dilapidated, the doors were empty, and garbage was everywhere. On the south side of the house was a small upside-down house, with the same dilapidated walls and windows, but the door seemed to have been repaired, and an iron latch on the door was rather shiny, apparently having been fitted a short time ago. And it's in use.
In the east corner of the courtyard, there is a small moon arch, and when you go out of the door, it is actually a good garden, compared to the dilapidated houses next to it. In this garden, the bamboo is dense, the ancient trees are swaying, the vines climb all over the gables, and when you open your eyes, you can see that it is full of greenery, and it looks vibrant. There is a huge pond under the steps, several wild lotus lotus flowers float on it, everything is silent, the meaning of tranquility and tranquility comes to the face, and it has a bit of the taste of the spiritual fairyland.
