Chapter 31 Little Penglai in Baiyun Temple
Baiyun Temple is located in the capital of the west of the gate outside the two miles, the former dynasty Taoist leader Qiu Chuji once built the Changchun Palace here, leading the world Taoism.
Later, his disciple Yin Zhiping established a Taoist temple on the east side of Changchun Palace and named it Baiyun Temple.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the country, Changchun Palace and other buildings were destroyed in the war of changing dynasties, only this Baiyun Temple remained, and continued to repair and expand as a royal Taoist temple, and now it is the largest and most famous Taoist temple in Beijing.
Since it is a royal Taoist temple, it naturally has a corresponding style, and ordinary people can only come in to burn incense during the New Year's Festival, and they are usually not allowed to enter.
Yesterday's winter solstice festival was the day when Baiyun Temple was open to the outside world, and Zhao Shouzheng's class planned to burn incense yesterday in the same year, but was stopped by Zhao Shouzheng. Zhao Shouzheng told them that during this kind of New Year's holiday, the Baiyun Temple is full of people one after another.
It's not worth it to be disheveled and sweaty for burning incense.
All the people are now people with status, so they naturally thought so, so they listened to their brother's words and came to offer incense today.
When they went out of the Xibian Gate, crossed the moat, and arrived at the Baiyun Temple. I saw that on the huge square in front of the view, there were incense paper firecrackers all over the ground, and there were all kinds of tents and curtains that had not had time to be removed, along both sides of the square, all the way to the moat.
It can be seen that yesterday's Winter Solstice Festival, how lively it was here.
Juzi couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and they all said that when the Baiyun Temple opened next time, they must come over to join in the fun.
Zhao Shouzheng, who was very talkative in the past, became surprisingly silent at this time.
He looked at the Baiyun Temple, the carved railing, the jade brick, the four pillars and the seventh floor of the magnificent star gate, 'Dongtian Scenic View' four majestic characters, for a long time unable to help himself.
"I heard that these four words are inscribed by the imperial pen of the first emperor?" Everyone looked at Zhao Shouzheng, who regarded himself as a 'Beijing pass'.
After a while, Zhao Shouzheng came back to his senses and nodded slowly: "Yes, it is the inscription of Emperor Shizongsu's imperial pen." ”
"The first emperor cultivated Xuan Chongdao, and it is naturally not strange to give an inscription to Baiyun Temple." Tang Hezheng said with a smile: "It's just that once a son of heaven and a courtier, I'm afraid that the Taoist elders are having a hard time now." ”
"Yuan Qing said cautiously." Shi Jinchen smiled bitterly and persuaded Tang Hezheng, this guy is always open-mouthed, and being with him always makes people worry. "Besides, the imperial court is investigating the monks, not the Taoist leaders."
"It's pretty much the same." Tang Hezheng smiled freely, his father Tang Shunzhi was an outstanding disciple of Yangming Gong, and now that he has passed away, the big man in the court still recognizes him as a junior brother. With this background, he is naturally more open than the cautious peers.
"Alright, let's go inside." At this time, Zhao Shouzheng also completely packed up his emotions, and beckoned a group of people who entered the temple in the same year: "This Baiyun Temple is the dojo of Changchun real people, and it has always been the most effective. ”
Tang Hezheng knew that the second half of the sentence was for himself, so he had to nod obediently, and said in his heart that after my brother entered Beijing, he became more mature and stable, could it be that he couldn't make this Beijing city prosperous?
The crowd followed Zhao Shouzheng to the front of the mountain gate, only to see that the mountain gate is three rooms wide, the top of the single-eaves glazed tile rest, the white marble carved arch coupon stone door, the eaves of the forehead book 'build the Baiyun Temple', there are stone lions, Huabiao and other things on both sides in front of the door, all of which show the grandeur of the royal Taoist temple.
Naturally, they were stopped by the Taoist priest.
Fang Wenshan stepped forward, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, stuffed it into the sleeve of the acquaintance, and said in a low voice: "Daoist Hu still remembers me, right?" Yesterday after dawn, I came to the front station. ”
"You ......" The acquaintance looked at Fang Wen for a long time, but he still couldn't remember seeing this person yesterday. But he still remembered that yesterday the prison had promised to let a group of lifters come in to burn incense, pinch the silver ingot in his hand, and give Fang Wen a bright smile and said, "How can you not remember?" Poor people do this business, as long as they see each other, they can't forget it. ”
"Daochang Hu, you are so good...... but Fang Wen was moved, he grew so big, it was the first time that someone could remember him at once.
Zhike couldn't help but shudder, and said in his heart, is this person sick? However, for the sake of the silver, he opened the mountain gate and led the crowd into the Baiyun Temple.
The cigarettes in the Taoist temple are curling and the bells are melodious, which makes the restless hearts of the lifters involuntarily calm down. Under the leadership of Zhike, they visited the Lingguan Palace, the Jade Emperor Palace, the Laolu Hall, the Qiuzu Palace, the Sanqing Pavilion and the Four Imperial Pavilions and the five-fold main hall, as well as the Fengzhen Hall and the Confucian Immortal Hall at the back.
The seven halls in the middle of the road all have to be incensed. In particular, the Qiu Zu Hall and the Confucian Immortal Hall are even more sloppy, not only to worship, but also to donate incense paper money, in order to bless the two immortals to be able to win the gold list......
After the incense was offered in the seven halls of the middle road, the acquaintance took the people to the east road hall to pay homage. Zhao Shouzheng took advantage of the lack of attention, and flashed into the backyard of the Taoist temple from the moon gate behind the Qiu Zu Palace.
In the backyard, there is actually a big garden called 'Little Penglai', the small bridge verandah, the pavilion in the garden, the rockery ice lake, the snow and the red plum, although it is the middle of winter, it still does not reduce the interest of the fairy family.
Even if ordinary people have come to Baiyunguan for incense a few times, they may not know this paradise.
Zhao Shouzheng also broke into this 'little Penglai' by chance. Today, he revisited the old place along the verandah, and he seemed to have returned to the spring of that year, when the peach blossoms were full of plum blossoms, and the beautiful woman tried thin clothes for the first time......
~~
In that room, after the lifters finished paying homage to the East Road Palace, the guests warmly invited them to visit the West Road Palace. After all, it is the obligation of every acquaintance to let pilgrims pay as much money as possible.
The lifters had a lot of heads, especially those who were stolen and relied on Zhao Shouzheng to help, and they were already shy at this time.
When they wanted to see what their brother's opinion was, they found that Zhao Shouzheng was missing......
"Where's my brother?"
"Did you go to the hut?"
"No, I haven't seen you in a long time......"
When the lifters were about to look around, they suddenly heard a trumpet outside the mountain gate.
Na Zhike's face changed when he boarded, and he stomped his feet and said: "It's bad, there is a noble person to incense!" ”
"Hurry up and take them away quietly from the east gate, Hugh is going to collide with the nobles!" He gave an order to the Taoist boy who was following him, and then he left the crowd and ran away in a hurry.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please hurry up." The little Taoist priest was also anxious, and urged the crowd to say: "There are not many nobles who can fire cannons outside the gate of Benguan, and there will be Jinyi guards to search the courtyard in a few moments." If we get you, we'll eat it too. ”
"Our brother hasn't come yet!" The lifters panicked, no matter how arrogant they were on weekdays, they were still exposed in their original form when they met the nobles of the sky.
"Xiaodao will let people look for him, he has a small goal, even if he is discovered, he doesn't care, he can always deal with the ...... of the past" The little Taoist priest pushed and scared, and it was easy to drive a group of lifters out of Baiyun Temple from the east gate.
