Chapter 66: Visiting Jinling

Nie Xiaoman was actually forced by his family to go home and get married!

However, Jing Mo knew that Xiao Man must be unwilling, but he didn't know what excuse Xiao Man would use to prevaricate this time.

However, in the past few days when Xiaoman was away, Su Jingmo was idle. In the past, when Xiaoman was here, the two always met in the cat feast, curling up like cats, staying in a warm and comfortable place. Right now, Jing Mo plans to take advantage of Xiao Man's absence to wander around.

Where to go? Let's go around in circles. Jing Mo walked on the street, in front of and behind him were the faces of people who were either long, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated, with sparkling cars and horses, and the flow of people like weaving, and not far away there was a faint penetrating shout of the vendors, and occasionally a long neighing of horses.

Jing Mo, as a brocade guard, is naturally not familiar with the street, anyway, Zhan Yuan, Chaotian Palace, and the Old Palace have long been tired of seeing it, so Jing Mo decided to walk through the streets and alleys, and it doesn't matter where he goes. Even if he walked with people on his feet, he walked out of Da Gongyin Lane, and walked north along the big stone bridge of Hada Shiba Street, and soon arrived at the street in front of Da Bao'en Temple.

Since Jingmo is a complete idler, then just wander around to the end, there are not many people on the road, only a little crowded when crossing the street at the Taibao'en Temple, he looked around, thinking that since he is here, it is better to go to the temple for a stroll.

Da Bao En Temple sits in the east to the west, the whole temple building is divided into two major parts of the north and south, the main part of the temple is the mountain gate, the Buddha hall, the glazed pagoda and so on in the north half, the attached part of the monk's room, the meditation hall, the Tibetan scripture hall and so on in the south half, the north and south parts are separated by the wall.

Dabao'en Temple to the Buddha hall, the Tianwang Palace, the pagoda as the main body, including the King Kong Palace, the left and right stele pavilions, the Tianwang Palace, the main hall, the Buddha Palace, the Great Zen Palace, the Hou Zen Palace, the left and right Guanyin Palace, the Dharma Hall, the Patriarch Hall, the beamless hall, the Garan Palace, the front hall of the Tibetan scriptures, the Tibetan scripture hall, the left and right storage corridors, the wheel of the Tibetan Palace, the meditation hall, the Wei Tuo Palace, the scripture room, the east and west abbots, the three Tibetan halls, the bell tower, etc., the monastery one hundred and forty-eight rooms, the east and west gallery corridor room one hundred and eighteen rooms, the scale is extremely grand.

Jingmo walked into the gate and came to the first courtyard, which was lush and green. There are two stone lions outside the two Buddha halls, but in front of the Buddhist temple in this world, there are generally a pair of huge stone lions, a male and a female, the male lion steps on the ball on behalf of power and unity, and the female lion steps on a small lion at the feet, indicating the mother of the world.

The lion's mouth is closed one by one, Zhang is to attract wealth, closed is to keep money, and money is only eaten and not vomited. I also heard that they were chanting the Buddha's name, a "A" and a "Mi". However, in Jing Mo's view, there are still the former in the majority.

After passing through the Second Buddha Hall, Jing Mo came to the second deep courtyard. The first thing that catches your eye is two thousand-year-old ginkgo trees. The thousand-year-old ginkgo biloba that covers the sky and the sun hides the golden and splendid Daxiong Treasure Hall and the east and west corridors in the green shade. The branches are coiled and twisted to show the vicissitudes of thousands of years, and the leaves are layered to show youthful vitality. When Jing Mo looked closely, the old branches on the ginkgo tree were all broken, and now they are all new.

The Daxiong Treasure Hall of Feijiao Liudan is the most majestic place of Bao'en Temple, built on a stone foundation more than five feet high, which is more majestic and solemn. Jing Mo walked into the hall with a pious mood, and the cigarette smoke curled in the hall, and the sound of Zen was bursting.

This temple is so big! It seemed empty, with only one Zen master meditating and chanting. Jing Mo gently read the couplet hanging on the pillar, and the hall was filled with the echoes of his recitation with the old monk. In the center of the main hall are three golden Buddha statues, in front of which incense, incense burners and some offerings are placed. On the left and right sides of the main hall are clay statues of eighteen Arhats, and at the back are four porcelain bodhisattvas. In front of them, there were more or less incense sticks from pilgrims.

After visiting the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Jing Mo was still unsatisfied, and went to visit the east and west corridors on both sides of the Daxiong Treasure Palace. Inside are enshrined King Jizo Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.

Jingmo kowtowed to the Bodhisattvas a few times, then went out of the Bao'en Temple and went into the alley.

As soon as he crossed three steps and two bridges, he stopped and turned around, entered the dim sum shop on Cangzikou, and asked if there were any steamed cakes. A bald, runny young man looked at him; "How many do you want, can you get the rest of it, it's cheaper?"

"I want one, and you still want to deal with it for me?"

The steamed rice cake made with rice noodles seems simple but is actually very exquisite, and this steamer, for example, must be dug from the wood of the hemp willow or paulownia trees. After the tree is cut down, it must be dried in the sun, and the steaming utensils made in the ninth lunar month of each year are durable. The wood of these two trees is hard and tough, and the steamer will not deform and carry over the flavor when heated.

In the past, steamed cakes were generally made and sold by old men or old women pushing carts, rice noodles and stoves, but the business of this shop was good, and they rented half of the door to open a small shop. Jing Mo stuffed the money over and glared at it deliberately; "Blow your nose!"

Out of the shop, the sun was a little hot, Jing Mo took off his Shu brocade short coat, the warm sun on his body, a slippery gray house, the big locust tree on the side of the street, the fallen stamen sprinkled all over the ground, the blue, blue, white and white trumpet flowers that climbed out of the wall of the compound, the bursts of cicadas, the mule carts and carriages waiting for the guests at the mouth of the alley, the old man basking in the sun while chatting on the bench, the fruit stalls on the roadside, the little dolls that followed just now, the bald and runny young man...... He felt a warmth bubble up in his heart.

He followed the track and turned onto Nanyinyangying Street.

After thinking about it, let's go to the donggua spoon another day. When I got to the headlines, as soon as I got on the Liujiaojing Street, I saw a hundred steps not far from the right side, and turned a corner to the Shili Tea Shed.

With the passage of time, the flow of people has been increasing, and the street is full of parked carriages, mules, horses, donkey carts, and even a camel, and a sea of people. Standing upstairs and looking down, the crowd is dense, like countless ants moving, due to the large number of people, you will accidentally step on me, I touched you, if you want to get out of this flow of people, you have to be able to drill.

It's almost time, no wonder I feel a little hungry. Jingmo began to pay attention to see if there were any restaurants to try in. The ten-mile tea shed is divided into two roads at the intersection of the street, and there are those that go south and north. He thought about the direction he was going, and went up to the horse shop in a southerly direction.

Just after the dismount, a burst of fragrance wafted over. Without further hesitation, he went in and called for the turnip terminal. The radish terminal is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the crispy texture and unique aroma of the shredded radish are perfect!

Sitting there eating, every time I looked up at the door, I saw a beautiful black painted carriage parked diagonally across the street. This time, I looked up again, and I felt that it looked very similar to the one I saw when I was buying fruit to eat. He looked at it again, and unconsciously ate slowly.

He absentmindedly paid the bill, went out into the street, and continued slowly south, playing all day before finally returning home. In this way, after playing for more than ten days, I heard from the dynasty that Xiaoman was back, so he rushed towards Gluttonous Cat Zhai.
