Chapter 008: A Towering Temple
This place is where the thousand-year-old temple Lantuo Temple is located, when today's son worships the Buddha and the Tao, the two families of Buddhism and Taoism reflect each other, Lantuo Temple as the place of Buddhism Zen Buddhism, it is the peak of incense, the pilgrims come and go every day, it is said that the Lantuo Temple seeks children, comes to wealth, and enters the most effective, so every three or five eight days, there are many people who come here to make wishes and make wishes.
Zhang Shaoyang got off the horse at the foot of the mountain, after all, it is a pure place for Buddhism, and the horse's hooves are not allowed to trample on it, the two of them climbed the steps, this road is deep and secluded, leading directly to the mountain behind Lantuo Temple, and the road taken by a large number of pilgrims in front of it is just in the opposite direction, so there are no people on the road, and occasionally three or two monks can be seen walking by, all of them have seen Zhang Shaoyang and the idiot over and over again.
The two walked for a while, in front of them is a merit forest, is the place where the monks of Lantuo Temple meditate and participate in meditation, at this moment is the monk's morning class time, there are many monks meditating and chanting here, Zhang Shaoyang did not bother, walked next to the merit forest, and was about to walk out of the merit forest, Zhang Shaoyang's eyes stayed on a monk, this person is the same age as him, at most a year old, wearing a white monk's robe and other monks' gray clothes are very different, and what surprised Zhang Shaoyang is that this person closed his eyes and meditated, but his body was half an inch away from the futon below, if it were not for Zhang Shaoyang's sharp eyes, he couldn't see it at allγ
Zhang Shaoyang was amazed in his heart, in this world, a cultivator, a cultivator, the most capable of cattle, just with this ability to float in the air, I am afraid that ordinary people can be shocked.
Continue to move forward, in front of a straight cliff, carved on the cliff wall is a big Buddha of about ten zhang, the Buddha's palm is stacked up and down in the lower abdomen, Zhang Shaoyang habitually glanced at the Buddha's palm, a middle-aged monk sat on the head without moving, Zhang Shaoyang remembered that he was here since he was a child, and now it has been eight or nine years.
Continue to go forward, is the famous ancestor hall of Lantuo Temple, a pair of locust wood outside the hall is particularly conspicuous, on the book:
One empty, two empty, three empty, and four empty
Five precepts, six precepts, seven precepts, and eight precepts to participate in meditation
Every time Zhang Shaoyang looks at it, he always feels that these two crosses are like a trickle of continuous streams, and he can feel like the general trend of the world, and it is difficult to disobey him, sometimes like a river rushing, sometimes like a lake and a sea of silence, and then go down, he can feel that the words are sharp and sharp, and there is a kind of peerless killing machine looming, which makes Zhang Shaoyang unable to understand every time, it is obviously a pure place for Buddhism, how can there be such a big evil thought here?
Continue to go back, and you can find that this killing machine is hidden, and there is a wonderful force between the beginning and the end, and there is a wonderful force to take advantage of the situation, and swim on this locust tree to your heart's content, and every stroke is just right.
"Donor, why did you come up from the back mountain again, people outside the temple are not allowed to come up from this back mountain, you better go quickly!" Zhang Shaoyang sighed secretly in his heart: Sure enough, every time I see this, I can be interrupted by this monk!
Zhang Shaoyang followed the voice and saw a monk with red lips and white teeth standing in front of him, eighteen or nineteen years old, with nine ring scars on his head that were particularly conspicuous.
Zhang Shaoyang grinned, this monk he is very familiar with, when he was a child, the only one in the Zhang family who was close to him was this monk, the monk's grandfather was originally a cavalry general under Zhang Shaoyang's grandfather, and later Zhang Duo resigned, this cavalry general is also a bull temper, and he didn't want to receive the one hundred taels per month in the capital, so he resolutely followed Zhang Duo and resigned.
I heard that this kind of thing was done, but it was not only this cavalry general, at that time, Zhang Duo's sixteen fierce generals, all of them were good at charging into battle, and they were not afraid of death when they started fighting, after Zhang Duo left, most of these people were unwilling to take the army that had no backbone, and those who resigned asked for their resignation, and those who returned to their hometowns, I heard that Emperor Taizu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was furious, and almost gave the order for all executions.
The monk is also a hard life, his father and mother left earlier than his grandfather, and then his grandfather also went, and entrusted him to Zhang Qingyuan before he died, and after staying in Zhang's house for a few years, a great monk of Lantuo Temple came, saying that the monk had Huigen, so he took him away, and Zhang Shaoyang also hated the great monk for several years for this matter.
I heard that when this great monk arrived at Zhang's house, the first thing he saw was not the monk, but Zhang Shaoyang, saying that he was a Buddha who was seen once in a hundred years, and he would become an immortal if he achieved positive results in the future. Frightened, Zhang Qingyuan's forehead sweated, the only son, if he was crossed by a monk, he couldn't marry or have children, and the incense of the old Zhang family would be broken.
Zhang Qingyuan was ready to offend this monk, but who knew that the monk said: "Although he has Buddha nature, it is in vain if he can't go to the path of a poor monk." β
Zhang Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, who knew that the monk fell in love with the monk again, and Zhang Qingyuan was reluctant, but the monk himself was willing, and later he had to fulfill the monk.
"Monk, I heard that you have copied scriptures in the temple in the past two years, and you have copied more than 30 books and more than 360 volumes, but is it true?" asked Zhang Shaoyang.
"Well, I'm copying the Diamond Sutra right now. The monk smiled embarrassedly, subconsciously scratched his bald head, and then remembered one thing: "By the way, the little monk has a Dharma name, Jue Yin, the donor still calls me the Dharma name." β
"Yes, monk. β
β......β
Zhang Shaoyang likes to see his helpless appearance the most, he laughed twice, and then continued to walk along this road, Jueyin monk followed, looking down from time to time for a long time, and then continued to walk a few steps, and stopped, and so on.
Zhang Shaoyang felt strange, so he quipped: "Could it be that you have been stupid to participate in Zen ginseng in this Lantuo Temple all these years?
The monk showed an embarrassed expression and said seriously: "There are many insects and ants on this ground, if I don't pay attention to killing life, I won't be able to become a Buddha and I won't be able to attain fruition." β
"Then if you go like this, you won't be able to go down the mountain in your life!" Zhang Shaoyang said disgustedly.
The monk looked at the sky, pondered for a moment, and then said seriously: "The little monk is also thinking about this problem, thinking that if it doesn't work, he won't go down the mountain!"
β......β
The more you go forward, there are more people, the front mountain and the back mountain are very different, the front mountain is full of incense, but compared to the back mountain, there is less aura, the front mountain has many branches, some can be seen at a glance, leading to the Tibetan scripture pavilion, the hall of these places, and some of the small roads are deep, I don't know where to go, Zhang Shaoyang knows, there are monks to follow, it is impossible to explore the end, so I can only honestly go to the front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
The Daxiong Treasure Hall is magnificent, there is a Buddha Shakyamuni on the main hall, there is a statue of a monk on both sides, the left is the Venerable Ka Ye, the right is the Venerable Ananda, all are kind and kind-eyed, Zhang Shaoyang did not go in, but went to the outside of the furnace, added some incense money to the inside, Zhang Shaoyang has always been like this.
Let him ask the Buddha to bless him in high school this year?
It's better to hand over a blank roll in front of the Ministry of Rites, and take the penultimate one safely.
After walking around casually, Zhang Shaoyang's mind was not in this Buddhist holy land, he looked at the monk beside him, but he smiled obviously: "Monk, let's talk about winning or losing!"
