Chapter 105: Tibetan Zen Pagoda
In the following days, Jinhua County has been calm, and Li Gongfu has also spent a rare leisurely time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After dealing with some routine official duties every day, he took Xu Jiaorong to look for seclusion everywhere, and swam around the mountains and rivers near Jinhua County.
On this day, Xu Jiaorong proposed to find a temple to pray for the Buddha, and Xiao Qian, who was accompanying her, immediately thought of a good place to go, and said with a smile: "If Mrs. wants to worship the Buddha, it is better to go to Lanruo Temple." Although the Shifang Zen Master who now presides over Lanruo Temple is young, he is a real Buddhist monk. Go to the temple he presided over to pray for blessings, and Bao Bao can be effective!"
Xu Jiaorong was quite moved when she heard this, and looked at Li Gongfu with her eyes to ask for his opinion.
Li Gongfu nodded in agreement with a smile, and said that he also had the idea of going to Lanruo Temple.
He hadn't met with the Ten Directions since the last time he teamed up to fight the Dryad. Although the two only met once, whether they were drinking and talking before or fighting side by side later, they both felt quite close to each other, and they really should have visited. Besides, Shifang's master Fahai and Bai Suzhen still have a grudge to settle, if they can have a good relationship with Shifang, it can be regarded as a precautionary move.
Xu Jiaorong had her own thoughts about worshipping the Buddha this time, so she called Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen and his wife and the crow's head, and the whole family went together, while Xiaoqian, Xiaoqing and Ah Er waited with them.
Li Gongfu and Xu Xian each rode a horse, Ah Er drove a carriage to carry a few women, and the group went out of the north gate of Jinhua County to the outside of Lanruo Temple.
The efficiency of Shifang is extremely high, but these days, this originally abandoned ancient temple has been revitalized. The renovated mountain gate and the temple are not as dilapidated as before, and they do not lose the original vicissitudes of life. People look at it from afar, and there is a sense of solemnity in their hearts.
As soon as everyone got off their horses and got off the car outside the mountain gate, they saw the gate of the temple open left and right, and Shifang, who was still white-clothed and handsome as jade, greeted him with two twelve- and thirteen-year-old novices.
He saluted Li Gongfu from afar, and said with a loud smile: "The poor monk is participating in meditation today, and suddenly on a whim, he knew that there would be a distinguished guest, so he specially went out to greet him, but he didn't expect that it was two adults with their treasures. ”
When handling a series of affairs to rebuild Lanruo Temple, Xu Xian also met with Shifang a few times, and admired the young monk's bearing and knowledge. ”
Shifang said with a smile: "Buddhism is vast, and it is meant to attract destined people." You are here today, you are the guests of fate, so why bother?"
Li Gongfu also walked up and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the Zen master of Shifang would like to come to Hanwen, your temple has just been rebuilt, and the incense is not too vigorous." After the Chinese side of the parents put a stick of incense in front of the Buddha, you only need to publicize the matter to ensure that you can attract many pilgrims. ”
Shi Fang was stunned and applauded: "Master Li's idea is really wonderful, but the poor monk didn't think of it in advance. ”
At this point, the three of them couldn't help but laugh together.
At this time, Xu Jiaorong, Bai Suzhen and Crowhead also came forward to greet Shifang, Xiaoqian and Xiaoqing followed behind, and Ah Er stayed behind to take care of the carriage and horses.
When he saw the five women in front of him, Shi Fangden was slightly stunned. Among the five women, Xu Jiaorong is a pure mortal, Nie Xiaoqian, a female ghost, he has already seen, although Xiaoqing has become a golden pill, his true appearance still can't hide his eyes, and Bai Suzhen and the crow's head make him a little unable to see the depth. However, his concentration and temperament are far from being comparable to those of others, and although he was amazed by the chaos of the family, he quickly returned to normal.
Xu Jiaorong asked: "Dare to ask the Zen master, we want to pray for blessings on incense in front of the Buddha, I don't know if it is convenient?"
Shifang smiled and said: "The donors have just arrived, and the renovation project of our temple has just ended. If you want to offer incense, please go to the Mahavira Hall with the poor monks. ”
Xu Jiaorong was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Shifang to lead the way in front.
Everyone went to the temple together, and saw that the meditation rooms of all the temples had been renovated, but in the huge temple, in addition to Shifang and the two small novices beside him, there seemed to be only two fire workers, which seemed quite deserted.
Xu Jiaorong first looked at the environment in the temple, and randomly gave orders, calling Bai Suzhen and the crow head to go in with him to offer incense first, while the others had to wait outside.
Shifang confessed to Li Gongfu and Xu Xian, and led the three girls into the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
Xu Xian asked Li Gongfu with some suspicion: "Brother-in-law, the inside of this hall is quite spacious, even if everyone can make incense together, why does my sister only bring the lady and the crow's head in?"
Li Gongfu knew his wife's mind best, shook his head and smiled: "Hanwen doesn't know that your sister only has two things on her mind now, the first is to hope that our two families will have children to inherit the cigarettes as soon as possible, and the second is to see that the crow head has also grown up, hoping that she can find a wishful husband as soon as possible." She prayed to the Buddha this time, and what she prayed for should be these two things, and if we were to follow them, it would be difficult for them to say these things to the Buddha. ”
Xu Xian had just married Bai Suzhen, and when he heard his brother-in-law mention such a profound issue as giving birth to a son, his face was a little hot, and at the same time he unconsciously looked into the hall, as if he was thinking about whether he would also go in to pray for incense later.
After a long time, the three daughters were guided out of the hall by the ten directions. Xu Jiaorong and Bai Suzhen both had a little longing on their faces, while the crowhead was shy.
Xu Xian saw the look of the third daughter, and thought that her brother-in-law's guess was really good, and her sister's worship of the Buddha this time was mostly to seek children for the two families and seek marriage for the crow's head.
Shifang smiled at everyone: "One of the fire workers recruited by the poor monk is a good vegetarian fast, and the poor monk has ordered him to go to the kitchen to prepare, and he also asks you to allow the poor monk to do his best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." In addition, there is a garden behind this hall, and the poor monks have also asked someone to repair it. There is quite a bit of scenery in this garden, especially a 'Tibetan Zen Pagoda', which is afraid that it is an antiquity left over from the initial construction of this Lanruo Temple thousands of years ago. It is better for the poor monk to lead everyone to visit and spend some time at will. ”
Everyone had no objection, and they turned around the Daxiong Treasure Hall with the ten directions, and saw that there was indeed a garden behind that did not cover a wide area, but there was a cave. This garden is equipped with jungles, strange stones, ancient trees, small ponds, pavilions, corridors, inscriptions, prayer buildings according to the topography, the environment is quiet and elegant, and people spontaneously have a sense of forgetting the machine during the walk.
Shifang along the way for everyone to point out the scenery of various places, unconsciously came to a three-storey high, the whole body seems to be carved out of a whole stone in front of the stone tower, turned back to everyone and smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the poor monk just said 'Tibetan Zen Tower'." ”
