The sculpture art of Sui and Tang Dynasty style on the relics stupa attracted Li Shulan, she admired it with great interest, and looked at the various Buddha statues and Buddhist story sculptures on the stupa, she felt that the artistic charm of religious art was not inferior to ordinary art, and sometimes there was a more mysterious meaning than ordinary artworks, which could be more thought-provoking. The mystery of the Buddha's art world makes the viewer feel more profound.

Li Shulan looked at the relics pagoda intently, admiring the architectural style and sculpture art of the stone pagoda, more than an hour passed, Li Shulan was still engrossed in watching, until a group of tourists approached the stone pagoda, she woke up and noticed the people around her, at this time she realized that she came to the relics pagoda, of course, to take a closer look at the sculpture art of the tower, but her most important purpose was to confuse the people who followed her.

Li Shulan looked at the people who came over, and looked at the surrounding scenery very casually, observing the surroundings, at this time, she found that someone was staring at her not far away, Li Shulan swept her eyes towards the person, as soon as the person met Li Shulan's eyes, he hurriedly turned his head away, Li Shulan knew that this was the person who was following her.

Li Shulan smiled secretly in her heart, she thought: "If you have the ability, you will continue to follow, I just need you to follow closely, just now I was concentrating on admiring the sculptures on the relics pagoda, you will definitely think that I am carefully inspecting the relics pagoda, you have more guesses, the more the better, it is best to go back and report to your master, saying that I am looking at the stone pagoda in Qixia Temple, if your master has enough imagination, he will definitely remember that I visited the stone pagoda in Jing'an Temple before, then, there will be a good show in the future." ”

It was almost time, Li Shulan left the stupa, she went around again, and then went outside. Xiao Jiyuan was already waiting for her by the rickshaw.

Li Shulan walked down the stone steps, and when she walked to the flat ground below, she turned around, stood strictly, and bowed respectfully to the entire Qixia Temple halfway up the mountain, and read in her heart: "Shulan came to Qixia Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha." Pray that the Lord of the Buddha will bless Brother Murong with safety, bless Shulan and Brother Murong with harmony, forever get married, and come together as soon as possible, and may the kind people in the martial arts be well-being, healthy, and auspicious!"

Xiao Jiyuan stood not far away and saw Li Shulan bowing to Qixia Temple, and he suddenly felt that the handsome and dashing son in front of him showed a woman's elegant posture in his demeanor. He thought to himself: "The son of the rich mansion is pampered, he has never done physical work, the son is like a young lady, he has such a soft posture, don't look at him in front of people, when he acts alone, he is always a little weak." ”

Li Shulan turned around and walked towards Xiao Jiyuan, she saw Xiao Jiyuan looking at her blankly. She was a little unaccustomed to it, and she said, "Master Xiao." Let you wait for a long time, let's go, Qixia Temple has looked around, this time to visit this temple, it is very pleasant, thanks to your wonderful explanation of the temple. Let Ben Gongzi know more about Qixia Temple. ”

Xiao Jiyuan came back to his senses, and he said: "The little one is very ashamed, what he tells you is from others, but what you say to the little one is very knowledgeable, and the little one is with you." It is really a great benefit, I can follow you out to visit, the small one is also very happy, if you want to go to other temples, the small one is willing to take you to again, we are already good friends, take you to other places, the small one is not charged. ”

"Haha, Master Xiao, you are really bold enough, pulling a car is your business, you rely on doing this job to earn silver, if there is no charge for pulling a car, what will you rely on to eat in the future? Li Shulan said.

"Thank you Li Gongzi, Xiao Jiyuan has met a noble person this time, this is something I haven't met before, okay, the little one continues to pull you around to visit, you will definitely be very happy! Now let's go back and send you to the inn?" Xiao Jiyuan asked.

"Okay, go to the 'Wangliu Pavilion' in Changganli, we will rest today, and we will continue the tour tomorrow!" Li Shulan said.

"Okay, go back to Wangliu Pavilion, when will I pick you up tomorrow? Which temple do you want to go to?" Xiao Jiyuan asked.

"Around the hour, let's leave when you come, you are very familiar with the temple, where do you say to go first?" Li Shulan said.

"The small one built yì go to the 'Jiming Temple', this temple is not too far from where you live, just at the eastern foot of the chicken coop in the Xuanwu area, it is also very famous, the temple was built early, it was built in the Western Jin Dynasty, it is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing, it is said that in the Southern Dynasty, it is the most famous Buddhist temple in the south, the ancients said in verses 'Four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty', this 'Jiming Temple' is considered the first temple. Xiao Jiyuan expressed his familiarity with the temple again.

"'Jiming Temple' is so famous, we must take a good look, Nanjing's temples are very historical, all of them are very famous, Qixia Temple is built on Qixia Mountain and got its name, and how did this 'Jiming Temple' get its name?" Li Shulan asked.

"The little one has heard some legends about how the 'Jiming Temple' got its name, if Li Gongzi doesn't make fun of the little one, the little one will continue to make an axe in front of you, and tell you to hear it, you can correct it if you say it's wrong!" Xiao Jiyuan said.

"You have been a master for a long time, you have met a lot of tourists, adopt many sayings, the legends you hear must be very interesting, you say, this son likes to listen to it. Li Shulan said.

At this time, Li Shulan looked behind her, not far away, the person who was following her followed her again, she pretended not to know, ignored behind her, and continued to listen to Xiao Jiyuan talk about the legend of "Jiming Temple".

"There are several theories about the origin of the name of 'Jiming Temple', one theory believes that Emperor Qiwu Xiwu Jimingdai, 'Jiming Temple' is related to Jimingdai, and later some people researched, that this statement is a misunderstanding, Jimingdai is in the north of Xuanwu Lake, far away from Jiming Mountain, 'Jiming Temple' can not be related to Jimingdai; more people believe that the name of 'Jiming Temple' is very simple, it is the same as Qixia Temple, it is named after the mountain, and the original Jiming Mountain is called ' Jilong Mountain', build a Confucian museum on the mountain, set students from all over the world to read the Confucian scriptures on the mountain, later, the emperor Taizu Gao of this dynasty seized the world, in the fourteenth year of Hongwu had to choose a site on Jilong Mountain, planned to build a country Zijian, selected the prison site at the eastern foot of Jilong Mountain, but the emperor felt that the name of the mountain was 'Jilong' inappropriate, not in line with the holy will, so, the decree was renamed 'Jiming', in order to imply the meaning of 'Morningside diligence', intended to encourage students to be diligent and studious, so, build a temple on Jiming Mountain, named 'Jiming Temple'. Xiao Jiyuan happily told the story he knew.

"It turned out to be related to the founding emperor, no wonder this 'Jiming Temple' is so famous, Emperor Gaozu took the name of the mountain, and the temple built on the mountain is of course easy to be famous in all directions. Li Shulan said.

"The emperor not only renamed the mountain 'Jiming', and, in the 20th year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu personally ordered the demolition of the old house at the eastern foothills, and expanded and rebuilt the temple on the basis of the original old temple, and the emperor personally named the temple 'Jiming Temple', and since then the incense has been vigorous. It is said that this 'Jiming Temple' is expanded by the 'Qixuan Temple' of Eastern Wu, the temple site was originally the place of the back garden of the Wu State Mansion when the Three Kingdoms, the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty built a dojo, after the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it became the Imperial Lieutenant Bureau, when the Southern Dynasty Liang, Emperor Wu of Liang had built the 'Tongtai Temple', making the Jiming Mountain a famous Buddhist resort, these sayings are small to hear, not necessarily accurate. Xiao Jiyuan said with a smile.

"You said it very well, let's know some of the ins and outs of the 'Jiming Temple', as for whether it is accurate, let the historians verify it, the story has some truth, let's just think it's interesting!" Li Shulan said.

"Coincidentally, you said it right, about' There is also a very interesting legend in Jiming Temple, I heard that a long time ago, on Jiuhua Mountain by Xuanwu Lake, there is a powerful centipede essence, which can spew poisonous flames up to dozens of zhang, often spray poisonous fire to hurt people, this centipede essence is very dangerous, once it sprayed poisonous fire to hurt people, was known by the Jade Emperor of Heaven, the Jade Emperor sent the golden rooster reported in the heavenly palace to go down to earth, the golden rooster led the order to 5 mortals, when he saw the centipede essence in Jiuhua Mountain spraying poisonous flames to hurt people, the golden rooster immediately stood on the top of the Arctic Pavilion, and screamed loudly at the centipede essence, the centipede essence was suddenly frightened by the deafening cry, and fled in a hurry, the poisonous flame disappeared, and the mortals were out of dangerPeople understand that it is the cry of this golden rooster that drives away the centipede essence and disperses the poisonous flames, but the centipede essence does not give up, after restoring the body, it rushes to the top of Jiuhua Mountain, frantically spraying thicker and more poisonous flames, the golden rooster soars from the top of the Arctic Pavilion Mountain, and suddenly pounces on Jiuhua Mountain, pecks the centipede essence in a mouthful, after a fight, the centipede essence dies, and the golden rooster also falls down because of the poisoning too deep, the public under Jiuhua Mountain has not been harmed by the poisonous flames since then, in order to commemorate the golden rooster that eliminates the harm for the people, so the temple on the North Pole Pavilion Mountain was named 'Jiming Temple'. Xiao Jiyuan talked about the legend of the golden rooster, which was even more exciting.

"Haha, this is the good wish of the people, the struggle between good and evil, the people always praise the good, curse the devil, promote the good and eliminate the evil, a good legend. Li Shulan said.

They laughed and talked, at this time, Li Shulan felt that she was getting closer and closer to the "Wangliu Pavilion", she looked back, not far behind, the person who was following was still following, she suddenly thought: "I don't know if the person who is following me already knows that I live in the 'Wangliu Pavilion', if he doesn't know, it's best not to let him know, so I can't go directly to the 'Wangliu Pavilion', I must find a way to get rid of him, but I must let him know that I am going to the 'Jiming Temple' tomorrow, and the play has to continue! I must think of a good way to deal with him!" (To be continued...... )
