Shenhuahou and his entourage started from crossing the stone stele, and walked on the climbing stairs piled up with stone slabs, and after arriving at this release pond, the stone steps came to an end, and under their feet was a piece of stone brick "flatland" that was not very flat. If you don't take into account the conspicuous place occupied by the release pond and the gate of Furyeiji Temple in front of it, this flat land is very wide.

More than a dozen ornamental trees are scattered around the site, and because of their age, the trees are as tall as pavilions, and there is no trace of pruning anymore. From the stone bridge, you can walk directly to the front gate of Furyeiji Temple, and if you don't take this road, you will have to go around the two pools on the left and right. The little marquis Feng Xingyu was lying on the stone railing by the release pool, his sparkling eyes staring at the fish turtle under the water.

The only turtles in the release pond are the golden-threaded turtles, which are very easy to feed and eat vegetarian and meat, so the bait for raising carp will not remain rotten at the bottom of the pond. There are five major species of carp in the pond: red, yellow, white, green and black, and there are also many colorful and colorful colorful species. Naturally, all kinds of famous carp raised in Bihou Mansion are not of the same level, but the carp here is better than the diligence of tourists to feed, so the carp are extremely fat, and the largest is almost the size of an adult man.

Because Mrs. Hou's journey was extremely slow, no one urged the little Hou Ye to keep up with the team and let him watch the fish in front of the stone fence under the shade of the tree. Hearing the movement, a few small nuns went out of the temple gate to investigate the situation, and some of them dared to run to Hou Zi's side and handed him a package of oiled paper, which was filled with brown flat pills, with a grass fragrance and a fishy smell, which was bait for feeding the fish.

Xiao Xingyu took the oil paper bag and said happily: "Thank you, sister!"

The little nun's face was flushed, and she ran back to the temple gate, and her figure disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The Lotus Pond was bustling with activity, with several small boats parked on the water, and two older nuns on board, one rowing at the helm and the other collecting lotus canopies within an arm's length. These nuns wore silk robes and green hats, and their movements were gentle and slow, and they were not in a hurry to pick the entire lotus pond. When they saw the kings and grandsons on the shore of the bridge, they did not panic, but stopped what they were doing, smiled and folded their hands.

The foundation of this Fuling Temple is quite clean, and the nuns here are probably upright, and there will be no dirty things such as the powerful and rich gentry secretly raising Jiao'e on a large scale. Otherwise, these officials mobilized the crowd to lead their colleagues and the Hou Ye to enjoy the tour here, aren't they putting knives on their necks?

Although Mrs. Hou Chu Xiaoting is also pampered, she is quiet and active, and when she stays in the Hou Mansion, she often walks around, and also plants flowers and weeds.

The reason why they accept the joint support of the maid Chu Chaoyun and her husband Feng Xuan is that they can't shirk it, one of these two people sees themselves as little girls who don't grow up, and the other sees themselves as baby porcelain bottles that will break when touched.

Chu Xiaoting looked up, and the sunlight shone on her fair face, shining brightly. A plaque on the top of the head is located under the eaves of the press, and the head of the beast is carved out of the top of several bucket arches, like a dragon without whiskers, with blue and white as the main color, painting fine pictures and texts. On the plaque, the words "Ascend the Gate of Bliss".

The three doors of the Buddhist temple are all opened, because the temple Taoist temple does not belong to the "land of one person", it is a scale ritual system and not an ordinary etiquette comment, the side doors on both sides of this Buddhist temple are much taller than the door of the Hou Mansion, and the number and system of copper nails are also much larger.

Before crossing the threshold, Shenhua Hou Feng Xuan said thoughtfully in Chu Xiaoting's ear: "There are more four King Kongs in the front hall of the temple, showing angry eyes and fierce eyes, which are intended to warn the world and expel evil spirits. ”

Chu Xiaoting nodded in agreement, clenched her husband's thick palm, and said with peace of mind: "With you, I am not afraid of Buddha or demon!"

The couple looked at each other and smiled.

Chu Chaoyun coughed twice and reminded: "Entering the temple to burn incense, entering the temple to worship the Buddha, pay attention to a sincere respect, and it is disrespectful to offend the gods." ”

The noble lady turned her head towards Shenhuahou, and actually stuck out her tongue in a girlish posture, and said perfunctorily: "I know." ”

Chu Xiaoting had the courage to look at both sides, and sure enough, there were two statues of King Kong gods on both sides, one by one staring at each other, baring their teeth and bearded halberds. He is a foot tall, has a large waist and a strong body, and holds a blade in his hand. The more I watched, the more I felt that they would immediately jump off the platform and walk towards people. Chu Xiaoting felt that he didn't squint, and walked quickly through the front hall.

Crossing another threshold, the eye was greeted by a large and bright square, large enough to accommodate a thousand people, and on the left and right of the square was a diagonal corridor that stretched to the top of the hill. The corridor is at the boundary of the square, and there are two huge drums respectively, which are more than one person high.

Directly in front is the Blessing Spirit Palace, the dome has three layers of cornices, the main entrance has cornices and feet, and the dougong of the pressure is countless. Under the eaves is the golden plaque written "Fuling Palace", four coiling dragon pillars stand in front, and the scene of flying dragons competing for pearls on the pillar is vivid.

Seeing the magnificent appearance of Buddhism, Chu Xiaoting's mood was broadened, and he walked through the square, bypassed the high copper furnace, and climbed the stairs step by step. The hall of the Fuling Hall is solemn and solemn, the altar is dedicated to the Fuling Niangniang, the Niangniang is barefoot, the blessing is rich and charitable, and there is a pair of boys and women who linger around the body. The hall enshrines flowers and fruits, the incense burner inserts the thick arm of the long life incense, and the lotus copper lamp is perennial sesame oil does not dry up, and the lamp is not extinguished.

Chu Xiaoting had reverence for Fuling Niangniang, who was also a daughter but could stand on the altar, and asked people to offer fragrant fruits. Immediately, a handmaid with nimble hands and feet stepped forward with a fruit basket of incense sticks and laid out the offerings on the table in the same way. Mrs. Chu Xiaoting personally poured incense, knelt down in front of the futon, and closed her eyes to pray.

Shenhua Hou Feng is not devout to the gods and Buddhas, as a prince and noble, there have always been few objects worthy of kneeling, and he is unwilling to grovel when he enters the temple to burn incense.

Surprisingly, the exotic woman, Chen Caiyi, who had been captured and imprisoned alive as an assassin, actually took the initiative to ask for incense to worship God. After getting the permission of Shenhuahou, the maid holding the incense tube trembled and handed her five sandalwood incense.

Chen Caiyi untied a wide and thin sword outside the temple gate before entering the temple to worship God. She knelt in a row with Chu Xiaoting, such an obviously suspected act of trespassing, but no one felt that it was inappropriate, and even slanderous words were not born from the heart. Guy Chen Caiyi is sincere and courteous, natural, and never pretentious.

Chen Caiyi worships the Buddha not for himself, but hopes that the husband who is dead can transcend the ghost path and enter reincarnation as soon as possible.

After the little marquis Feng Xingyu sprinkled fish food, he was also in the Niangniang Palace, he took the incense and knelt on the futon, and his knees made contact with the futon, so he hurriedly ran to insert the incense. He had nothing to say to the fat lady who was on top of him.

All the way up, there are the solemn and magnificent Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Xuantian Hall of the eaves pressing the Rui Beast, the Great Compassion Pavilion of Great Compassion and Great Compassion, and the Temple of the Holy King of Dizang, Chu Xiaoting all bow down devoutly, and do not fall anywhere.

Chen Caiyi bows to the Buddha and worships the gods. The eighteen Arhats and the Buddha in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the kings and gods other than the Xuantian Emperor in the Xuantian Palace, Chen Caiyi all respectfully clasped their palms together and worshipped, regardless of the rank of the gods.

Qin Yun and Jing Jiu have been watching from the sidelines, and after confirming that there will be no moths, Qin Yun gradually empathized with her, and felt a sense of concern. Jing Jiu didn't know the cause and effect, so he was confused, his vulgar and straightforward temperament, the old Confucian Qin Yun gradually instinctively resisted, where would he explain a thing or two to him.

When Chen Caiyi saluted the Buddha, the sharp aura on her body disappeared completely, but the little marquis was even more afraid to approach, and always felt that she was holding two handles

Although the sword has a cold feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, it also has some scruples and will not draw the sword easily. When she put down the blade, Xiao Xingyu instead had a natural feeling that she would be split in half if she disturbed her.

Xiao Xingyu ran blindly, saw the two attics of the morning bell and dusk drum, and pushed the door in, the bell tower was not locked, it was empty, and it was actually a little damp and gloomy. Because Chen Caiyi left his post without permission to worship the Buddha alone, the tall man Zijing had to come to guard the little marquis to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the opportunity to do evil. Xiao Xingyu stepped on the wooden ladder and ran up to the attic, and saw a huge bronze bell hanging from the beam, hanging more than three feet from the partition at his feet. The bronze bell is big enough to cover a standing adult man, and the inscriptions are engraved in a circle around the body of the bronze bell, Xiao Xingyu knows that some are Sanskrit, but the meaning is incomprehensible, some of the inscriptions seem to be just decorations, and it is difficult to distinguish which style it is. The bell mouth is an eight-petal lotus flower, and the bell top is a dragon head with the most serious patina erosion, and the green is forest.

The little marquis was about to hit the bronze bell with the wooden Arowana bell hammer, but before he could hit the first ring, Jing Jiu reached out and pressed it on the wooden bell hammer, and the Arowana bell hammer was immediately nailed to the air without moving.

Jing Jiu Mu Ne explained: "Your Highness, it is taboo to hit the bell, beat the drum, and pluck the incense in the temple and Taoist temple without permission!"

Jing Jiu thought for a while, and then solemnly added: "Even if His Highness is a nobleman, he can't try it easily!"

"I see!"

To the surprise of the tall and middle-aged people, the little marquis did not entangle unreasonably, and even lost his temper and wanted to cut off the head. Instead, she ran away with a smile, lying on the window, and Xiao Xingyu looked through the attic window at the cloud-shrouded mountains in the distance and the layers of palaces and pavilions nearby. But after a while, he ran down the attic in a hurry. Jing Jiu sighed helplessly, but there was a faint flicker of love on Mu Ne's face.

There were about 100 officials and rich gentry on this trip, and there was no explicit limit on the number of people on both the Hou Mansion and the city lord, and the officials and gentry were allowed to bring one or two family members and personal servants as they wished, so there were more than 1,000 people, not to mention the honor guard and the cavalry and foot guards of thirty horsemen and black armor guards.

But the powerful people who were able to follow Hou Ye all the way to the top are destined to be only a handful. This small wave of people are all top-notch talents who judge the situation, and naturally they did not follow the young couple closely and disturb other people's ups and downs. When they get together, they are a group of officialdom bigwigs who can almost walk sideways in the three states of Yanlong, and it is rare not to talk about the wind and rain of the sea and the sea, but those greetings and polite words, when interpreted by the little people in the new officialdom, must be inseparable from the four big characters of intrigue. It's no wonder that they interpret it too much, after all, if they want to climb up the ladder, they have to divide their heads into two, not only to do a good job in their duties, but also to guess the boss's thoughts, officialdom welcomes, but it is a great knowledge.

Because the nuns' residences in the temple are hidden on both sides of Fubo Mountain, there are cyan high walls to shield them, and they are isolated from the believers and pilgrims on weekdays.

.

The two holy places of the Fuling Temple's Fuling Niangniang Hall and the seven-story lotus relics pagoda on the top of the mountain make its identity stand out among the many states and counties of the temple, and in addition to these two famous landscapes, the mountain behind Fubo Mountain also hides the true heritage of Fuling Temple, a bottomless, strange cave with cold and green grass in summer and green grass in winter. In ancient times, it was called the Purple Mansion, and it was a veritable blessed land.

Legend this cave is the place where Fu Ling Niang Niang attained, although the fame is not diminished now, but it has long been turned into a forbidden place by Fu Ling Temple, no need for tourists to visit, of course, the reason for the external claim is that there is a cloud miasma of the charming mind in the hole, and the passage in the cave is tortuous and complicated, I am afraid of hurting people's lives.
