Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
After many days of walking with the four of them, they finally arrived in Nandu.
This is a rich place in the world, but because it is the sphere of influence of Yunlong Temple, the disciples of Doumi Temple rarely come and go in order to avoid suspicion.
This world is so strange, since the situation of the division of the court has been settled, then you a Taoist priest appeared in the pure place of Buddhism for no reason, which will inevitably arouse suspicion. Even though they are all monks, they have a beautiful name: those who are far away from the mundane and cultivate the truth, and have no desire to seek immortals.
However, 'detaching from the world' is by no means detaching from the world, and since the two schools are in the world, they must abide by the laws of the world.
"Hey, what an angry place. ”
When the group came to the city gate, Shisheng looked up, but saw that the whole city was majestic, the people in the city were busy, the sound of the merchants was endless, and everyone had a smile on their faces, and this place really looked like a rare and rich place.
Shisheng is also the first time to come here, according to legend, it is located in a rich place, convenient transportation and abundant products, in the early years, it is expected that the spirit of the people will be passed on, it is said that the place where this country was built is built on the dragon vein, and the dragon qi rises and the country is prosperous. In addition, the Yunlong Treasure Temple is located here, everyone in the country believes in Buddhism, and this time it is blessed by the Buddha's light, so even if the outside world is chaotic, it is still a peaceful scene.
For more than 20 years, this southern capital has resolutely become the safest place in the world, the people live and work in peace and contentment, in addition to the gift of the monarch, thanks to the living Buddha of the high monks of Yunlong Temple, you see that every day outside the city will come a large number of pilgrims, they come from all over the world, ascetic potential only to pay homage to the true Buddha of Yunlong Temple. In addition to the pilgrims, there are also a large number of refugees who have fled the famine from other places, and they all want to join this peaceful country. It is said that the monarch of this country is merciful and does not refuse these refugees, so it has a good reputation.
Although the world was ready when he came, but when he saw such a prosperous scene, he was still deeply shocked, especially after everyone entered the city, the people in the city are now scary, maybe it is to catch up with the annual festival in two days to start, so the street is crowded, Liu Bolun looked at the street with colorful lights, and said to the head of the road: "I said Master, it's still early and it's so lively here, why don't we go and have a drink first, otherwise how can we prepare wine for us when we get to the monk's temple?"
To say that not to let Liu Bolun drink is tantamount to his life, as soon as he thinks of the past few days to have a green vegetable and tofu monk chanting the scriptures, he has a headache, but Shisheng didn't feel anything, for him to be able to eat enough, and has always been disrespectful to the old man after hearing this, but his eyes widened, and scolded him: "Stupid donkey! I'll tell you, a few of you, when you get to the monk's temple in a while, you will put away your death-threatening profligate appearance for me, we are now here on behalf of the entire Taoist temple, don't be sloppy, understand?"
He didn't know why the senior brother in charge of the house wanted to let him, an old man, come to the meeting with a few small ones, but since he came, he couldn't embarrass Dou Miguan, no, early in the morning, he changed into the luxurious robe of the scene, and his head was tied neatly, and he blinked at a glance.
And Liu Bolun touched a nail here and was hanging his head, but when he saw the white donkey next to him smiling, Liu Bolun was angry and shouted at it: "The old man scolded me stupid donkey, what are you happy about?"
"Of course I'm happy. The white donkey said with a on his face: "You see how much we match, it's like a fairy donkey." ”
"Why did you come from so many crooked words!?" Liu Bolun said with a smile and a smile.
However, just as they were laughing, Shisheng, who had been eating since entering the city, suddenly heard a loud noise in the air, it was the sound of a bell, and it was remembered from a very far away, and it shook his heart.
Where did this bell come from?
Shisheng couldn't look up, and this extremely loud bell rang several times in a row, and then the spectacle appeared, and I saw that the people around the street, no matter what they were doing, immediately put down their work, and those who went shopping stopped shopping, those who bargained stopped trading, and those who ate stopped eating.
Without exception, they all knelt on the spot and bowed their heads in the direction of the bell to the west.
Fang Shisheng could only see the back of the head of the person in front of him when he was walking, but at this moment he could clearly see the wine banner moving with the wind on the corner of the street, on which a naughty boy had drawn a somewhat childish chicken.
The whole city fell to their knees. It is said that even the royal family is no exception, and they bow down only to worship the Buddhas of Yunlong Temple.
And that bell is the call to worship the Buddha that rings every day.
Looking at such a spectacle, Shisheng finally understood why the monks who came to Yunlong Temple that day were so rampant, and their feelings were in their hometown, and they were the supreme beings.
The people of Nandu worship extremely religiously, and on the huge streets, there are only outsiders who have just arrived here like them in the world.
This is really an eye-opener, Shisheng looked around, only to see that not far from them, there was a group of people who did not kneel, judging from the clothing, these people should be northerners, the leader is a handsome white-faced boy, this person looked at the person who knelt on the ground with interest, when Shisheng was holding a big meat elbow to eat a mouth full of oil, when he and the boy's eyes met, the boy's brother looked interesting, so he covered his mouth and smiled, and then shook the fan and turned his head to stop looking.
This worship lasted for half a pillar of incense, and when the bell had dispersed, the people stood up, and those who ate continued to eat, and those who went shopping continued to shop.
It was an eye-opener, Shisheng thought as he sucked on the last remaining bone stick.
However, the more eye-opening thing is still to come, under the urging of Master Xingdian, Shisheng chewed the bones in his hand and swallowed his stomach, and everyone sorted out their clothes before they came to Yunlong Temple.
In all fairness, this Yunlong Temple can be several times more magnificent than the Doumi Temple, although the Doumi Temple in the depths of the fairy mountain is also a pure land, but in front of this solemn Yunlong Temple, it is also slightly shabby, you see that the mountain gate in front of the temple is towering, the red bricks and green tiles are carved and painted, the door is full of believers who come to the pilgrimage, those people are in tears for the sake of faith, a huge giant tripod stands, the high fragrance is swirling, the fragrance is fragrant, under the smoke, the gate of the Yunlong Temple is like the heavenly palace appearing, the giant pillars on both sides of the mountain gate have the famous teleprompter to go to the pen.
On the left, a couplet praises say: Bodhi Dharma, there is me in the world, the five-colored lotus paradise.
A couplet on the right said: Jialan holds the road, the world is born, and the wind is a tiger and a dragon.
There is no horizontal batch of plaques, and the three big characters of Yunlong Temple walk the dragon and snake, which is extremely sacred.
And the most shocking thing is that just above this Yunlong Temple, where there are clouds floating by, they are actually dyed with many colors by the glow of the sky, it is really a white cloud and a dog that changes a lot, it is said that auspicious clouds will appear in Yunlong Temple every year during the festival, but this year's auspicious clouds have appeared five days ago.
The whole city witnessed such a miracle, and even the living beings were shocked at that moment.
And at this time, there were already a few monks in front of the mountain gate, and the Taoist leaders of Doumi Temple came to participate in the puja, so they naturally did not dare to slack off on the scene, so they hurriedly reported, and after a while, they saw that the mountain gate opened, and the music sounded, and a group of brightly dressed monks lined up to go out to greet them.
Look at the head of the two old monks, obviously the monks in the temple, these two monks slowly walked to the long body of the road and saluted: "Amitabha, the tired and troubled road is coming, and the temple is full of glory." ”
After all, there has been a festival in Doumiguan and Yunlong Temple before, and they are still worshipping the temple at this juncture, which will naturally attract countless eyes from others, and the head of the road seems to have changed people at that time, he nodded and returned the salute with one hand, and said without humility or arrogance: "I sent the head of the senior brother Xingyun because the temple could not get out of the world, and sent the old Taoist to congratulate the treasure temple puja. May the two factions always marry the good of Qin and Jin. ”
"Amitabha. The old monk said: "The Taoist chief's mind can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the poor monk has received it on behalf of the whole temple, and this time he invited the Taoist to come because of this intention. ”
After that, the monks got out of the way, and the head of the road nodded, everyone walked into the mountain gate in the eyes of the monks, Shisheng listened to the old monk Tongqiang pretending to be a non-smiling master of the line of gossip, it seems that now the abbot master of the Yunlong Temple is also in retreat to participate in meditation, and he will not appear until the start of the festival three days later.
Shisheng didn't understand it at first, why do these big people like to lock themselves up so much? And these monks are also quite interesting, they have to chant the Buddha's name before speaking, as if they can't chat without this, I don't know if this is the rule of Buddhism, at least the monk master when Shisheng was a child is not like this.
But Shisheng really likes it here, he feels very kind when he looks at those Buddha statues, and those monks treat them in awe, not as vicious as Shisheng thought before.
Shisheng originally thought that as soon as he entered the Yunlong Temple, those monks would immediately turn their faces because of what happened last time, and then close the door and pounce on the guy to take revenge on him, otherwise could Shisheng bring the guy here?
But he was wrong, but he can't be blamed for this, who made the monks who fought the rice temple so insidious and aggressive last time? Speaking of the last incident, in fact, after staying in Yunlong Temple, Shisheng also inquired about the monk named 'Nankong', but the little novice in the temple told him that the senior brother had already gone down the mountain three months ago.
Shisheng didn't know why this guy was so quick to become vulgar, but it didn't seem like a big deal.
They stayed in the best rooms in the temple, and they only waited for the puja to start in three days, and even the head of the sect was surprised by this, he didn't expect the Yunlong Temple to be so polite this time, this was really not like their style.
Could it be that they had really thought wrong before, and while the chief of the road was pondering this matter, Shisheng was visiting the temple because he had nothing to do.
He originally believed in Buddhism, but now that he has come to this orthodox treasure temple, how can he not have a good visit? And these days, the temple has already lived in many dignitaries from foreign forces, as well as those who have entered the temple to worship, and it is really lively.
The world's favorite place to come is a side hall, because the Bodhisattva statue in this side hall he likes how to look at it, so he stares at it on the futon, and sits for a small half a day. Just when he was looking at the statue and stunned, he suddenly heard someone next to him laughing, Shisheng turned his head to look, but saw a boy in white covering his mouth and smiling at him.
This person was known to the same person he had seen on the street before, so he asked, "It's you, what are you laughing at?"
The fair-faced boy smiled at Shisheng, and then pointed to the corner of his mouth.
