Chapter 254: Wealthy

"Dang!"

The melodious sound of the bell spreads from the temple on the top of the mountain.

Along the mountain road paved with eight hundred and eight stone steps, Lin Yu came to the outside of the Jingnian Meditation Temple.

Standing outside the temple gate, looking at this large and somewhat over-the-top Zen temple, Lin Yu's heart was slightly tongue-in-cheek, and he couldn't help but exclaim, Buddhism is really rich.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at it from a distance, Lin Yu saw the entire temple, there were more than 100 buildings, like a small city, and the wealth of Buddhism could be seen.

Crossing the high wall, Lin Yu cautiously came to the tall building where a giant bell weighing 1,000 catties was placed, overlooking the situation near and far.

The main buildings in the temple are arranged on the central axis facing the temple gate, with the copper hall as the center of the temple, and the scale is complete and uniform.

Except for a bronze hall, all the buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, and the color is as good as new, but I don't know whether it is because the monks in the temple are diligent in cleaning, or the tiles are so. In particular, the peacock blue in the three colors is the most dazzling. You can imagine the sparkling scene in the sunlight.

The bell tower from which the bell rises is located between the bronze hall and the other main hall, but the distance between them varies greatly, the former is far away and the latter is close. There is a vast platform square that reaches 100 zhang in front of the copper hall, is built with white stone, and encloses the white stone carved railing.

In the middle of the white stone square, a bronze statue of Manjushri is enshrined, riding on the back of a golden lion, up to two zhang high, and there are three Buddhas such as Medicine Master, Shakya and Mida next to the shrine. Painted gold ornaments are quite bold, but they also make people feel a little out of line with ordinary temple practices.

At the edge of the white stone platform quadrangle. In addition to the entrances and exits of the four stone steps, there are 500 Arhats evenly distributed, all of them are made of gold and bronze, all with different expressions and postures, but no matter whether they open their eyes and protrude their foreheads, or they hang their eyes and guard inside. They are all lifelike, no different from living people.

The other buildings are arranged in an orderly manner in all directions with the main hall on the axis as a whole, separated by forest roads, and have a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

A large incense burner is placed in front of the Manjushri shrine in Baishi Square, and the burning sandalwood is sending a large amount of aroma, which fills the entire space, making people's minds calm down and infecting the atmosphere of birth.

The sound of chanting is only ten zhang after the bronze hall, and the other places in the temple do not see half a figure, there is a kind of unfathomable, teaching people not to dare to act rashly.

"Tut, this group of monks is still rich and tight,"

The solemn and mysterious atmosphere in the temple will naturally not affect Lin Yu, but he was really shocked by the luxury of the meditation monastery, when it comes to wealth, Lin Yu, who sits on the treasure house of Yang Gong and the royal property of the Song and Yuan dynasties in the world of Yitian, thinks that he is not inferior to anyone, but how can the furnishings in the Zen courtyard be exchanged for money?

Not to mention anything else, it is the 500 arhats cast in gold and bronze, such ingenious craftsmanship, it can be said that it is priceless, this set alone is worth the cost of ninety percent of the temples in the world, not to mention the copper hall, glazed tiles and other other luxurious buildings.

And this meditation monastery also supports thousands of monks and soldiers, you know, after Buddhism spread to the Middle Earth, it has always been forbidden to eat meat and fishy things, and martial artists practice martial arts, naturally need a lot of nutrition, if there is no great replenishment of qi and blood precious medicinal materials to assist, these vegetarian monks, how to supplement the consumption of martial arts?

After such a rough calculation, we can know that the consumption of the meditation monastery for one year is enough to support tens of thousands of soldiers, and the cost of the entire temple is comparable to the wealth of the treasury for several years and decades!

In vain, these monks are compassionate and compassionate all day long, claiming that they want to "purify all sentient beings", but as a result, they eat more than anyone else, which is extremely shameless!

Thinking like this, Lin Yu's sense of Buddhism is even worse.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

The sound of three crisp chimes came from the main hall for evening classes, the chanting suddenly stopped, and the whole Zen temple was silent, only the sound of insects chirping, gradually filling the space of the mountain and the temple.

The moonlight is like water, shining on the glazed tile roof with colorful ripples, and the big trees next to the passage inside and outside the temple all cast shadows on the road, adding to the unfathomable atmosphere of the Zen temple.

And the white stone paved square, under the cover of the moonlight, looks extraordinarily bright, if someone steps on it, it will definitely be seen clearly, so that Lin Yu can't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, his own light skills are still qualified, otherwise he will not even enter the temple gate, he will be caught.

"Squeak,"

The temple was wide open, and more than 200 monks, led by four monks in blue robes, lined up in more than ten rows in the open space between Manjushri and the bell tower, facing the Bodhisattva shrine. Although there were a large number of people, they did not hear the slightest sound, and even the sound of breathing was lacking.

Then, two heavy bronze doors as high as one zhang opened automatically without wind, and a tall and handsome monk walked out of the bronze hall leisurely and stood on the top of the white stone steps of the hall.

This person looks so young and handsome, he will not be more than forty years old.

He has a slender and dashing figure, a straight nose, and a lot of personality. The curved curve of the upper lip and the slightly upturned lower lip give off a certain indescribable charm, embedded in his slender face, which is both very beautiful and leisurely. The lower collar is broad, and the beautiful face has a kind of transcendent and secular brilliance, and the demeanor is neither weak, nor is it domineering, but teaches people to look comfortable and natural.

The most memorable thing at first sight is his pair of deep and unfathomable eyes, which can make anyone born with an unfathomable depth and a heart that dare not be underestimated.

Lin Yu naturally knew that this was the void who had cultivated the "Closed Mouth Zen", and he was also the caretaker of He's Bi, his cultivation was unfathomable, which would inevitably alarm the comers, and he didn't dare to use the spiritual ability of the demon seed to investigate the depth of the void.

However, at the moment when the door was opened, Lin Yu still sensed a trace of "fluctuation", and that feeling was fleeting, but it was enough for him to judge the location of He's Bi, which was within the bronze hall!

That's enough, knowing the location of He's Bi, Lin Yu naturally won't hesitate, although the more than two hundred monks, plus the four great King Kongs, look extremely powerful, but in Lin Yu's eyes, they are not as good as one.

"It's a bit rude to not leave some greeting gifts for the first time,"

Lin Yu muttered softly, and with his words, a small white jade bottle suddenly appeared in his hand.

This bottle looks no more than the size of a finger, but Lin Yu will not have any contempt for it, because it has a nice name, "Sadness and Crisp Breeze".

Carefully uncovering the cap, Lin Yu lifted the bottle upside down with one hand, letting the smell inside spread with the wind, while observing the movements of the people below.

It's only a moment's work,

Of the more than 200 monks, some felt slightly dizzy.

"It's not good, there's a thief invasion!"

Seeing this, the rest of the people didn't know what was going on, and they didn't care about the demeanor of the monks, so they shouted at the top of their voices. (To be continued.) )
