Chapter 1 Revisiting the Ancient Temple, Reminiscing the Dusty Years (19)
The scene of the three "masters" of the Hanging Temple in the same hall is extremely rare in temples in other places, which is the biggest feature of the Hanging Temple in terms of religious content.
Xie Jingxi had carefully investigated the two inscriptions of the Jin Dynasty left by the Hanging Temple, and he came to a conclusion from the record of the inscriptions: before the Jin Dynasty, the Hanging Temple was still a single Buddha world, and the main hall at that time was likely to only enshrine Sakyamuni, and from the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, the Hanging Temple began to express the content of the convergence of the three religions, and it can be seen from the inscription that the founders of the three religions have begun to praise the founders of the three religions at the same time in the Jin Dynasty, thinking that they have made great achievements through their respective experiences and in their own different ways.
Xie Jiayao rarely goes out, this time she followed her father to the Hengshan Hanging Temple, which opened her eyes, she followed behind his father, very focused on observing the overall scene of the Hanging Temple, she was stunned by the landscape of this wonderful building, she felt that the location of this ancient temple is dangerous, the architecture is strange, the structure is ingenious, and the religious content of the expression is strange, it is very difficult to see in other places, which can be described as a unique in the world.
Xie Jiayao carefully admired the Hanging Temple, she was amazed by the wonderful landscape of the ancient temple, this ancient temple can use the steep cliff as a building address, can use the rock plug beam to support the palace, can build dozens of halls in the sky, can make Sakyamuni, Confucius and Lao Tzu peacefully coexist in a hall, talk eloquently, these bold and exquisite design and production zuò, are very remarkable, the ancient temple is dangerous, exquisite, magnificent, natural, The simplicity and other characteristics made her admire the ancient architect very much, and he admired the wonderful wooden structure of the Hanging Temple. She has been very excited, she doesn't want to speak, she just wants to quietly enjoy this ancient architectural art masterpiece all the time.
Walking to the gate of the Hanging Temple, Xie Jingxi said to Xie Jiayao: "Good daughter, how do you feel when you look at this ancient temple and are silent?"
"Father, thank you for bringing your daughter out this time, this ancient temple is so exquisite, so beautiful. My daughter was shocked when she saw it. How could the ancients have come up with such a brilliant method of construction? The terrain is extremely dangerous, the architecture is extremely strange, the structure is ingenious, and the design is wonderful. Seeing such an ancient temple is not only an eye-opener. And it's a fascinating aesthetic treat. From the wonderful corridor that swirls and rises, goes up and down, the daughter seems to hear the ancient music with a very beautiful rhythm and melody, from the palace and attic that connect one another. It seems to have read the deep charm of Song Ci, which is great!" Xie Jiayao said very happily.
"My good daughter, you have a very artistic vision, and my father also thinks that this ancient temple is very wonderful, but I can't think of any ancient songs and ancient words like you, it seems that talent is not easy to learn, but depends on a genius understanding, good daughter, you are very talented, and I am proud of my father!" Xie Jingxi also said happily.
"Father, look at what you said, how can a father praise his daughter like this? This ancient temple is indeed incredible, its wonderful and exquisite is unimaginable, the daughter found that the more seriously appreciate this ancient temple, the more you can understand more truths from the ancient temple, for example, look carefully at the ancient temple, you can understand the architectural skills, design art, the charm of beauty, the interest of nature and so on. Xie Jiayao seemed to be thinking a lot.
"Good daughter, you can understand so many truths from the ancient temple, it shows that you are very smart, it seems that in recent years, you have been reading, learning music, chanting poetry, appreciating words, reading classics, is a great progress, you are good at touching the bypass, you can also be very keen to observe, in the view of the truth of the truth, this is very good, the ancients said, 'read ten thousand books, travel thousands of miles', just in the study room is not enough, you must go more to see, more to travel more to understand, in order to really increase knowledge, from the hanging temple, you can learn a lot of knowledge!" Xie Jingxi said.
"Father, you have a very reasonable point, traveling is sometimes more insightful than reading, let's go up and see those palaces and pavilions!" Xie Jiayao said.
"Okay, keep climbing, the scenery is at the dangerous peak, let's go to the peak. Xie Jingxi said, leading Xie Jiayao to climb up, they visited the temple, the Buddha Hall, the Three Buddha Palace, the Taiyi Palace, the Guandi Temple, and then, they rested on the stone bench next to the bell tower and the drum tower for a while, and then watched the Jialan Palace, the Goddess of Mercy Temple, the Temple of the King of Tibet, the Thousand Hands Guanyin Palace, the Shakya Palace, the Leiyin Palace, the Sanguan Palace, the Chunyang Palace, etc., after a short rest, they walked through the thrilling plank road, arrived at the "Three Teachings Palace", and admired the content of the "Three Teachings Confluence" expressed by the "Three Teachings Palace".
After visiting the palaces, Xie Jiayao followed Xie Jingxi to walk back, and when she walked down the stairs, she looked at the deep valley below from time to time, and kept recalling a couplet she had just seen in her mind: "The essence of Biang, the clouds are steaming, and the light is even the North Pole; ”
The father and daughter came from visiting the upper hall and walked into the meditation room, Xie Jingxi asked Xie Jiayao to wait at the door of the meditation room, and he entered the meditation room by himself, Xie Jingxi has not been here for many years, he doesn't know where his uncle is now? He wanted to ask the monks in the meditation room and ask him clearly, so that he could visit his uncle.
The silent monk is a very old monk in the Hanging Temple, and his senior brother is the Silent Sky Master, and this Silent Sky Master is Xie Jingxi's master.
Five years ago, Master Lonely Sky had passed away, at that time, Xie Jingxi was not by his side, for this, Xie Jingxi has always felt very regretful, when his master passed away, he could not stay by his master's side, Master Silent Sky loved Xie Jingxi very much, and regarded him as the best apprentice.
A year after Master Silence passed away, Xie Jingxi got the news of his master's death from a letter sent by the Silent Monk, and the Silent Monk told Xie Jingxi in the letter, saying that Master Silence had an explanation before his death, and asked Xie Jingxi to come to the Hanging Temple to find Silence five years after his master's death, and that there was a will to leave silence before his master's death, and he must tell Xie Jingxi, because the content of the will is related to a secret inherited by the Xie family.
Xie Jingxi came out of the meditation room, he had already asked where the silent monk lived, and he led Xie Jiayao down while recalling about his master's silence.
It turned out that Master Silent Sky was originally surnamed Lin, his name was Feixiang, before he became a monk, he was a military general, and Xie Jingxi's own uncle Xie Renlu had served in the same military department, the two of them were life and death brothers who had experienced the border war together, when the war was temporarily stopped, Lin Feixiang was tired of the cruel war, and he was also disgusted with the tilting of high-ranking political officials, he resigned from the official position of the military department, escaped into the empty door, and became a monk.
Master Lonely was originally a monk in a temple in the capital, but people in the capital still often came to him, so he went to the Hanging Temple and concentrated on meditating there.
Four years after the Silence to the Hanging Temple, when Xie Jingxi's father Xie Renyu served as the Imperial History of Nanjing, he was demoted to prison because of his outspoken words, angered the emperor, and was demoted to prison, the Xie family was implicated, Xie Jingxi was in great danger, Xie Renyu's younger brother quietly sent Xie Jingxi, who was only ten years old at the time, to the Hanging Temple, as a lay disciple to worship Master Lonely Sky as the master, in fact, it was intended to take care of and protect the Lonely Sky.
