Speaking of Buddhism and Taoism, I have to mention a special person, that is, Murong Xuan, the current head of Taoism.

She was born in the Murong clan that was on the same level as the Ye family, and after Qiu Ye was accepted as a disciple by Zichen, the old head of the Taoist sect, she was also sent to Buddhism by her father Murong Yuan, and practiced as a woman. Strictly speaking, she is actually a disciple of Buddhism, and the relationship between her and the current abbot of Buddhism, Qiuyue, is similar to that between Qin Mumian and Wanyan Beiyue, both of which are the relationship between senior sister and junior brother.

At the beginning, Murong Xuan and Qiu Ye became Taoist couples, Buddhism is the "mother's family", and the Taoism is the "husband's family", and the relationship between the two even indirectly contributed to the two Buddhism and Taoism joining forces again.

Because of this, every time there is a Buddhist Obon Festival, most of them are Murong Xuan who comes in person, which means a little "back to her mother's home".

It's just that this year is an exception, the person from Daomen is not Murong Xuan, who is known as the "Taishang Sect", but the second person in Daomen, Chenye, which makes many people smell a different meaning.

The ancestral garden of Buddhism is located in the territory of the three states in the northeast, the three states in the northeast are Youzhou, Liaozhou, Jinzhou, of which Liaozhou is the closest to the later construction, the northern capital is built in this state, and Jinzhou is a little farther, but it is the fundamental place of the Northeast army and horse politics, as for Youzhou, it is the most prosperous place in the three states in the northeast, and it is the important place for taxation in the three states.

In the area at the junction of Youzhou and Liaozhou, the mountains here are continuous, mostly evergreen forests, the mountains are covered with snow, but the mountains are verdant. Different from the yellow sand Gobi in the northwest, the most significant thing here is the snow, the thick snow, so white that people feel dizzy, especially between the mountains and forests, the snow is a foot thick, the carriage is not passable at all, you can only go up the mountain on foot, walk in the mountains, look at it, the mountains are high and dense, the green woods are layered on top of each other and there is no end in sight, you can only see the snow-covered mountains in the distance through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

After walking all the way north for more than 100 miles, the eyes suddenly opened up, only to see the mountains and forests in the north, a tall mountain range like standing out from the crowd suddenly appeared, under the sunlight, a piece of golden splendor was faintly visible on the white mountain.

This is the ancestral garden of Buddhism.

Obon is a big festival, in order to welcome the 24th year of Chengping, the monks of the ancestral court of Buddhism, regardless of their status, everyone is preparing for the festival, even the first seat of the first courtyard and the major elders are no exception.

From this point of view, Buddhism is not like the Taoist gate, although the rules are exquisite, but far from the strict rules, let alone like the temple as a clear hierarchy, here than the high Xuandu, more like a place outside the world.

Approaching the Obon Festival, monks from all over the world began to arrive one after another, on the stone path of mountaineering, there was an endless stream of visitors, different dresses, different accents, different customs, and none of them were ordinary people who did not have half of the cultivation, even if there were, it was also a big man with an unspeakable status, accompanied by a smart guard, which showed the grand occasion of the Obon Festival of Buddhism.

The mountain gate of the Buddha Gate is located in the middle of the mountainside, beyond the mountain gate, is a ten-mile long Shinto Road, at the end is a majestic Buddhist temple like a city, compared to the Molun Temple on the Great Snow Mountain.

Numerous caves of various sizes have been excavated from the cliffs around Shinto and Buddhist temples, the most striking of which are the five Great Buddhas and six Bodhisattvas arranged in a cross arranged in order.

On the far left is the Oriental Medicine King Buddha, with the Bodhisattva of the Sun and the Bodhisattva of the Moon carved beside him, which are the three saints of the Oriental Pure Glass World.

On the far right is Amitabha Buddha, Buddhist disciples believe that Amitabha Buddha is mainly to extradite sentient beings to the world of bliss with his will, out of the cycle of suffering, so it is also called the Buddha, the immeasurable light, the Buddha of immeasurable longevity, the Taoist called it the guide of the Taoist, and there are great courage and great momentum to the Bodhisattva and the great pessimistic Guanyin Bodhisattva beside the Buddha, which is the three western saints of the Western Elysium.

The top is the ancient Buddha who lit the lamp in the past, and the bottom is the fifth Buddha Maitreya Bodhisattva, also known as the Buddha from the east, because Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha, and the Maitreya era has not yet come, so it is still a Bodhisattva in the Tushi Courtyard at this time, so it is also called Maitreya Bodhisattva.

Located in the middle of the cross is the fourth Buddha who is in charge of the current central world, Shakyamuni Buddha, the so-called my Buddha Rulai, is this Buddha, beside him is the great wisdom Manjushri Bodhisattva and the great line of Puxian Bodhisattva, and by the Taoist Gate become Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun and Puxian Zhenren, this is the three saints of the central world.

Together, these five Buddhas are the three Buddhas of the Horizontal and Vertical Worlds.

Around the five Buddhas and the six bodhisattvas, there are also various Buddha statues.

There is a Buddha holding the fearless seal, there is a Buddha holding the inner lion seal, there is a Buddha holding the outer lion seal, and there is a Buddha holding the inner lion seal.

There are bodhisattvas holding the treasure bottle seal, there are bodhisattvas holding the inner binding seal, and there are bodhisattvas holding the outer binding seal.

There are five Ming kings, and the hands of the Ming kings do not move the Ming King seal.

On the left side of the cliff, there is a celestial maiden flying to the sky, and on the right side of the cliff, there is the Dharma Protector Garan.

There are arhats in the lower left, and King Vajra in the lower right.

Under the Buddhas, there are eight heavenly dragons, corresponding to the eight divisions of Buddhism.

The One Dharma, the Two Naga, the Three Nakshatas, the Four Gandharvas, the Five Asuras, the Six Garudas, the Seven Kinaras, the Eight Makhurakas.

In addition to this, there are numerous cliff carvings. In addition to the huge "Buddha" character written by the second generation of Buddhism, there are dozens of stone carvings such as "I see as I come" and "as I hear", which are densely packed, and most of them are the great monks and earth immortals who have participated in the Obon Festival over the years. Among them, the stone carvings left by Emperor Xiao Yu of the Great Qi Taizu are the most eye-catching.

Pure and pure light, the wisdom of the sun breaks through the darkness, can subdue disasters, wind and fire, and shine brightly in the world, if people want to know, all Buddhas in the three worlds should contemplate the Dharma realm, and all idealistic creation. There is no Buddha in heaven and the world, and the world of the ten directions is also incomparable. I see everything in the world, and there is nothing like a Buddha.

A total of sixty-eight words, iron hook silver stroke, plump and magnificent, seems to be a wonderful hand of heaven and man, the artistic conception is far-reaching, the rhyme is long.

In the flow of people climbing the mountain, there is a young man and woman who look like a husband and wife, the man doesn't feel how, but the white hair is slightly dazzling, but the woman is different, even if it is a jinghai cloth skirt, it is difficult to hide the national appearance, and the demeanor is even more dignified, it is not the daughter of a small family, eighty percent is a lady from which family, but for some reason, he married a poor boy, in the eyes of outsiders, it is a flower inserted into the cow dung, and other men on the Shinto, when they look at the white-headed boy, most of them are undisguised envy and jealousy。

It is said that clever women are often accompanied by clumsy Han Mian, and the ancients did not deceive me.

At this time, the husband and wife stopped, looking at the stone carvings left by Emperor Taizu from afar, the woman told the allusions, such as a number of family treasures, the husband listened attentively, fell in the eyes of others, it is inevitable to sit down all kinds of speculation, the woman is a talented woman, must be a scholarly family, but it is a pity to marry a man who does not learn and has no skills.

It just so happened that at this time, there was a group of people climbing the mountain, men, women and children, and just heard the woman's speech, and the old man led by him stopped and thought about it.
