Volume 2 Saibei Xiaofeng Chapter 3 The new temple was first completed
After following the marching team for a while, they almost arrived at the center of Wuwei County, and the two finally came to the newly built temple.
After three months of work, the old earthen wall ancestral hall was demolished and a new wooden temple was built, and it became one of the liveliest places in the whole of Weiwu Prefecture.
The beams and pillars of the temple are all made of more than 50 years old wood, and the keel girder is a 300-year-old sea sandalwood, which is not only strong, but also exudes this faint sandalwood. The three door walls are hollowed out with lotus patterns, which obviously wasted a lot of thought.
The left and right porches are engraved with a couplet:
"Great compassion can spread blessings, rain and rain, and pray for a thousand answers. ”
"All good faith is willing to go to the shore, the law is illegal, the saying is not the same, and the sea of suffering is often used as a boat to save people.
The horizontal criticism is: "Mercy through the ages"
In the center of the main hall, there is a three-person tall Buddha statue, which is still covered with golden Jibu at the moment.
In front of the golden Buddha statue, there is a large offering table, full of offerings. The bronze incense tripod carried in the procession has been re-placed in the main hall at this moment, with three horizontal and three vertical nine futons in front of it.
The main hall is flanked by a thousand Buddha walls, each of which houses forty or fifty other bodhisattvas and arhats.
Everything is carefully and well-arranged.
"It's a big breath. Li Bing was slightly displeased after reading the couplet, and then looked at the yellow cloth covering the golden body of the Buddha statue, and was even more annoyed. The yellow cloth is only for the exclusive use of the royal family, or can only be used for the imperial gifts, even the envoy of the soil emperor of Wuwei County does not dare to use it without permission. Now it appears in the downtown area, but no one has any scruples, where does this place the royal family, which shows how deeply rooted this Niangniang is in Wuwei.
The procession slowly approached, the colored battles and bands lined up on both sides of the main hall, the lotus throne fell to the ground, and the believers stood in their own order.
The head of the Zhang family, who repaired the temple, was waiting with his family a long time ago, with a smile on his face. This head of the family is dressed in a gorgeous costume, and at first glance he looks like a rich family. In his forties, he was thin and thin, with a pair of fox eyes, which made Li Bingjue feel a treacherous and looked at him twice.
The mighty team stood still, and the chair of the Niangniang fell in front of the temple, and passers-by automatically gave way to it.
Di Niangniang got off the sedan chair, and some people hurriedly whispered: "Kneel down, kneel down!"
Brush~!, just greeted the people on both sides of the kneeling one by one.
Li Bing and Anzi stood in the middle of the believer's procession, Anzi glanced at Li Bing, and then saw that everyone around him had already knelt down, and the two could only follow suit.
In an instant, the originally noisy temple suddenly became extremely quiet. Only the Niangniang was standing upright.
She got up and walked forward, solemn and solemn, as if she were a real living immortal. She stood in front of the temple, turned back to the crowd and said:
"The Buddha said, Pure mind and will. But it will be the way. For example, grinding mirrors. Dirt is removed and stored. Nothing to desire. Deserve fate. Today, the good man Zhang is doing great good, and cultivating the true body for the mother. As the reincarnation of the Niangniang, I would like to do a ritual to bless Wuwei County with good weather in the coming year, and I also wish all sentient beings no more suffering. Amitabha!"
Di Niangniang slowly walked into the store, picked up the corner of Jibu, and gently tugged it, and the golden Jibu slid off the golden body of the Buddha statue.
The three-person high clay Buddha statue is very meticulous in workmanship, and the Buddha statue is the appearance of the Niangniang in the parade just now, not the slightest difference.
Li Bing looked at this Niangniang standing in front of her own Buddha statue, and felt a little funny.
Di Niangniang said:
All dharmas are self-natured, and all beings are ignorant,
Tied to the color yin, the six emotions are fooled,
Not seen in a yin, pushing to seek the color yin,
If you have doubts about the Dharma, there will be this person today.
I would like to say that the law of decision-making is to cut off the net of doubt,
that they know each other's shores, and catch the void and endure,
Yongjian enters the samadhi, and the body is indescribable,
The Ruyi Great Orb is often on top of it.
Shakyamvirenga, and around it,
All the great scholars of this society, all of whom are in the ten places,
The first flute is strict, and the life is supplemented,
Si and other bodhisattvas, all see it from afar.
Seeing this Rui Xiang, you will know that the winner is coming,
The supreme worship is supreme, because it says the profound and wonderful law,
Comfort the terrible beings, return to the heavenly teacher,
Bravely walk everywhere and educate familiar sentient beings.
After the lecture, Di Niangniang pinched two Buddha handprints and shouted: "Open!"
Everyone at the entrance of the main hall felt refreshed, as if they had been empowered, and they all felt that it was really magical.
Li Bing also felt a little cool, and he looked up at the Niangniang. The heart said: "What a powerful internal strength! Is this the internal strength of the Buddhist family? It makes people feel refreshed." ”
Di Niangniang pinched a few tricks decently, and every time it shocked everyone's hearts.
Seeing that the practice of the mother was finished, the head of the Zhang family got up and stepped forward and welcomed her to the self-cultivation place in the backyard to have a look. After that, the consecration ceremony was also taken over by several of the most loyal disciples of Di Niangniang. These disciples are all dressed in white Zen robes, which are very easy to identify as different from other believers.
Some of the disciples spoke a few verses and exhorted everyone to be good. Then he said to those outside the temple,
"Licheng! It's time to enter the incense!"
After this sound, the crowd exploded. Everyone rushed into the main hall and rushed to worship the first incense.
Anzi was fascinated by the two Buddha mudras just now, and also joined in it, squeezing a body of incense ash.
Li Bing stood in a daze, watching some disciples start to peddle the so-called "Immortal Water" and "Ritual Pill". At this moment, Li Bing has already begun to speculate that this Niangniang is probably not a good person.
"Brother Bing'er, why are you still here, don't you go in and put on a stick of incense?" Anzi walked out quickly, elated: "Fortunately, I grabbed it quickly, or I almost couldn't get the incense, and the incense tripod of such a big one was all plugged in." ”
Li Bing came back to his senses: "I don't have anything to ask for, so I won't go." By the way, you grabbed it so fast, what are you asking for!"
"Hahaha. Anzi thought of what he wanted in his heart, and laughed: "You can't tell Brother Bing'er about this." It doesn't work if you say it. However, you can go and beg Niangniang to let you see Sister Yinglan'er as soon as possible. ”
Li Bing didn't answer, just pursed his lips and smiled.
He Anzi did some shopping in the city again, brought dry food and water, and returned to the inn at dusk.
After nightfall, the coldness of the land of Liangzhou is revealed, because it is even colder in October, and before midnight, the water outside the room will freeze.
The inns here are all two-bed quilts, seeing that Li Bing is from Chang'an, Xiao Er also added an extra blanket, for fear that the two of them will not be able to sleep.
Anzi curled up in a ball on the bed, but she still slept sweetly. Li Bingzai slept very unsteadily in the bed, and kept turning over.
He was restless and had trouble sleeping. Every time I was about to go to bed, I always felt a noise wafting from the window. The sound was not loud, but it disturbed him, as if even the true qi in his body was faintly driven by this sound, and it was difficult to calm down. He leaned against the window and pricked up his ears: "Anzi, did you hear any noise outside?"
Anzi slept deeply, she didn't wake up, her saliva stuck to the bed, and she didn't know what kind of good dream she was having.
Li Bing simply opened the window to take a look, and as soon as he had a small meeting, a cold wind blew in, which made him shiver. He was already undressed, and when he was blown by the biting cold wind, he immediately closed the window: the voice was far and near, as if it was in the sky and like it was underground, and it seemed to have a slight internal force, and there was a strange feeling all over his body, and it was impossible to tell whether it was comfortable or irritable.
He thought about it for a moment but got up and put on his clothes, turned around and went out.
