Zhending Mansion, Longxing Temple. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking at the vast temple, Xiao Feng sneered and asked, "Are you saying that the one who stopped our land reform before was the monk of Longxing Temple who lived here?"

"Exactly!" Zhao Zhi bowed for a moment and said, "According to our investigation, this Longxing Temple is the largest landlord in this Zhending Mansion, and often relies on force to forcibly seize farmers' land. We tried to enter it, but we were repeatedly blocked by the monks in the temple, and even those fools were bewitched by it, making it really difficult for us to make progress. ”

Since the Red Phoenix Army entered this city, it has been more than a few days, and the dignitaries and nobles in the city have all been shown to the public, and the fields have also been divided one by one to the people under their rule, so that they can govern well. It's a pity that when the work progressed to Longxing Temple, except for the mistakes, Zhao Zhi had no choice but to beg Xiao Feng to go out in person to ensure the completion of the work.

Xiao Fengying smiled, her eyes narrowed slightly at the temple surrounded by lush mountains and forests, and she couldn't help but smile: "Oh? It seems that this is still a hard bone." ”

"That's right. In order to avoid harming the innocent here, we can only put it on hold for the time being. Zhao Zhi felt a little annoyed when he thought about being blocked at the beginning.

Although there is a lot of food in Zhending Mansion, it is helpless and cannot meet the needs of the Red Phoenix Army, so they can only target the temple, but it is a pity that this Longxing Temple has always been stingy, and it is simply reluctant, and there is no so-called compassionate spirit.

While the two were talking, one of them had already stepped into the tree-lined path.

When he saw Xiao Feng and Zhao Zhi standing solemnly in front of the temple, as well as the number of Red Phoenix Army soldiers who followed behind him as many as hundreds, he immediately felt his whole body tremble, and hurriedly bowed: "I don't know if Yuanfeng Zhenren is visiting, please forgive your sins, forgive your sins......"

"It's okay!" Xiao Feng waved his hand, signaling the abbot of Yuanfa to push it away, raised his head with interest and looked at Longxing Temple, and laughed with a "poof": "Abbot Yuanfa, your temple is really big." It's much better than my Zhenze Palace. I estimate that you have more than 100 acres here. There are even more than ten palaces in this palace, which is really envious of others. ”

Told by this, the body of the abbot of the Yuanfa immediately trembled, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Zhenren said that he laughed. I'm just an ancestral legacy, how many things can I have? It's just that I don't know what is the purpose of a real person coming here today?"

"There's no reason for it. It is said that this is a holy place for famous families, and the Song ancestors also stayed here in the past, and they came here to pay their respects under the admiration in their hearts to see if they could get some royal gas. If you can hear something like 'destroyed when it meets fire, and the phoenix is improvised', it would be better over there. Xiao Feng laughed loudly and looked at the surrounding palaces as if he had said something.

Probably because of the disrepair, although these palaces are huge, the red paint on them has fallen off, the mottled bird droppings and bird urine may not have been cleaned for a long time, and the glazed bricks also look a little dull, and everything has an atmosphere called decline.

Xiao Zhenren was joking. Those proverbs are just made up of ordinary things, I can't wait for ordinary temples, how can I interfere with the heavens?"

As soon as the Venerable Master heard this, his body was immediately stunned, and a few drops of sweat could not help but fall on his forehead, and his head was lowered even more ruthlessly, and his posture was lowered, lest he accidentally anger the commander in front of him.

"When it is revealed, it is destroyed, and the Song Dynasty is improvised", this proverb is a sentence left by the conscious Zen master who founded the Great Compassion Temple in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Later, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty, came to worship the Buddha because of the two disasters of the Later Han Khitan offense and the destruction of the Buddha and the coinage of the Zhou Shizong, only to find the proverb printed on the Great Compassion Bodhisattva, and then because of the defeat of the enemy army again and again and successfully ascended the throne to become the emperor, then he believed it, so he ordered the recasting of the golden body of the Great Compassion Bodhisattva in the Longxing Temple in the city, and built the Great Compassion Treasure Pavilion, since then the Longxing Temple was formed, and logically began to grow, and flourished for a while.

Unexpectedly, after Huizong of the Song Dynasty ascended to the throne, he repeatedly did all kinds of wrong things, so that the entire Northern Song Dynasty was completely destroyed.

After the Longxing Temple fell into the Di Yi Rule, it also declined, and it could only quietly look at those glorious but not powerful palaces, reminiscing about the past.

"'Heaven is constant, not for Yao's survival, not for ruin', even those emperors who are on the throne are just a pinch of loess, how can we mortals reverse our fate? But as the saying goes, things are man-made! If we don't give it a try, how can we know that there is really no possibility of success?" Xiao Feng smiled, his eyes turned but slipped around all the palaces, and said: "It's a pity that there are always some people who don't ask the common people about ghosts and gods, saying that they will offend the gods and Buddhas." What is your opinion on this situation?"

"Hmm!"

The abbot of Yuanfa felt even more nervous, so he said: "As the so-called three feet above the head there are gods, we must educate sentient beings, and we must let the world know and be in awe. For example, gods and Buddhas, but that's it. After finishing speaking, he peeked at Xiao Feng, only to see that her expression was natural, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's funny. ”

Xiao Feng replied casually and continued to walk inside along the tree-lined path of the mountain road.

But at this moment, I saw a pavilion appear in front of me.

From where they are, this pavilion is clearly divided into three layers and four sides, the first layer has six columns on each side, above the pillars is the arch structure, supporting the large eaves of the entire altar, the roof of the altar is a pointed roof, four ridges, there are six divine beasts on each ridge, it looks quite gorgeous, it should be something that ordinary people can have.

Xiao Feng immediately smiled, and then asked, "What is this?"

"This is the altar of ordination!" replied in a low voice.

Xiao Feng suddenly realized, and immediately said: "It turned out to be the altar of the ring." I've heard that this altar is the place where Buddhist monks take their ordination, and that's what it looks like?"

I saw that in this altar, a bronze double-sided Buddha statue was enshrined.

The two Buddha statues sit facing each other, their backs are connected, facing south is the leader of the Western Elysium - Amitabha Buddha, and facing north is the head of the Eastern Pure Glass World - Medicine Buddha.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Feng was immediately surprised: "Isn't it Youpo Li, why are they the two of them?"

She knows that the ordination altar of the general temple is more dedicated to Shakyamuni Buddha or one of his ten disciples, the reason is that because the precept is the first, so the precept altar is more dedicated to its image, but I did not expect this Longxing Temple to worship these two, which shows the particularity of this Longxing Temple.

"Well, it's only because this temple has been sealed by Song Zu that it has this specification. Being asked by this, the abbot of Yuanfa felt more and more apprehensive, and he couldn't figure out Xiao Feng's attitude.

Xiao Feng was not in a hurry to answer, and said, "Keep going." ”

After passing the altar, the two had already entered the Longxing Temple.

This Longxing Temple does not have a mountain gate, so the two of them stepped into it, and they were faced with a tall glazed wall.

The wall is very slender, nearly ten zhang long, two zhang high, and more than six feet thick, and is supported by a single piece of granite. The top of the wall and both sides are inlaid with green glazed tiles, and under the light of the light, it shows a bit of grandeur. And the cap and ridge are also like other ancient buildings, carved with birds and animals as decoration.

The front and back of the wall are diamond-shaped, and the middle is the green glazed relief two dragons playing with pearl patterns, and the whole wall of the relief is bright red color.

Seeing this thing, Xiao Feng couldn't help but be surprised, glanced at it and said, "This thing is a little old, but I don't know what the allusion is?"

The Venerable Master of Yuan Law immediately said: "Speaking of this double dragon Zhaobi, it is related to Zhang Tianshi and Wei Chi Jingde!"

"Oh, then, this double dragon Zhaobi must have some history. Hearing this, Xiao Feng immediately thought about it and continued to ask.

The Venerable Master of the Dharma immediately became radiant and told the past events one by one.

It is said that during the Tang Dynasty. Zhengding City, which is now Zhending Mansion. The Hutuo River in the south is deep and rapid, there is no bridge in the early years, and it is inconvenient to pass in the past, so the people in the city raised funds to cast two iron chains, and tied them to the wooden piles on both sides as rope bridges to facilitate pedestrian ferries. Who knew that over the years, the iron chain turned into two green dragons, harming the people, and then fortunately, Zhang Tianshi passed by, so he surrendered. At this time, when Yu Chi Jingde was supervising the repair of the Big Buddha Temple, he forgot to repair the mountain gate of the Big Buddha Temple, and he was worried that he could not make a difference. So let the craftsman start work overnight, in front of the big Buddha temple to build this wall, the two dragons firmly embedded in the middle, so that the dragon is locked so that it can not do evil, and the second also covers up the embarrassment that the big Buddha temple does not have a mountain gate.

"That's a good point. It's a pity that the rope bridge has been gone since. After Xiao Feng heard this, he was a little disgusted.

After all, the iron lock is a mortal thing, how can it transform into a dragon and then harm the people?

It is nothing more than the greed of the original builders, in order to keep this iron lock for themselves, to make up this ridiculous story, and then deceive the people.

That's pretty much what religion does!

When Xiao Feng came here, she already had no good impression of this Longxing Temple, if it weren't for the fact that she was trying to understand this situation, she wouldn't be willing to move forward at all.

The Venerable Master also noticed Xiao Feng's suddenly cold face, and couldn't help but shrink his neck, and he didn't know what he had said wrong, so he had to accompany Xiao Feng and continue to walk inside.

The two bypassed the double dragon Zhaobi, and went north from the three-way single-hole stone bridge, facing the temple's first building, the Tianwang Hall.

This Tianwang Palace is a single eaves rest mountain type, seven sandalwood pillar type building, there is a round arch gate, the upper part of the door is horizontally embedded with the "Longxing Temple" gold plaque, and has the role of the mountain gate.

The central part is the top of the mountain with heavy eaves, and the mountain flowers are in the middle of the four sides to hug the building forward, so that the building that is heavy is slightly soft, showing the characteristics of the Song Dynasty's architectural ingenuity, focusing on the integration with the surrounding environment, the top of the hall is the green glazed tile trimming, the eaves are decorated with a majestic green bucket arch, and the wing angle arc is rounded and slightly upturned.

Walking into the hall, Xiao Feng looked around, and saw that on the Buddhist altar in the middle of the hall, there were statues such as Sakyamuni, Manjushri, Puxian, Ananda, and Ka Ye.

On the eaves wall and the fan wall around the Buddhist altar, there are various murals painted, and the subject matter is the story of the Buddha.

In the Buddhist altar, there are several incense candles, the fireworks on the incense candles are bright and extinguished, there are curling clouds and smoke rising, the whole hall is smoked with sandalwood everywhere, the smoke is shrouded in fog, and the surrounding situation can not be seen clearly at all, and can only fall into this piece of incense clouds, and is smoked by this fragrance is at a loss, dizzy and almost has the feeling of ascending to the immortal and becoming a Buddha.

It's a pity that Xiao Feng has a deep foundation and is so well understood that he is not affected at all.

"I didn't expect that your temple incense is at its peak, and there are so many benefactors who come here, just for peace. Xiao Feng looked at the peaceful scene in front of him, but he was full of emotion, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that although your temple is peaceful, there are endless killings and robberies in the world, and the people are displaced, so it's not because of this common life." Alas, when will peace be restored in this world?"

"The Buddha's kindness will surely make the world transcend the red dust and be reborn in the world of bliss. ”

The abbot of Yuanfa sang a word of Buddha, and his eyes showed sadness, as if he was suffering for the common people.

Xiao Feng looked at it coldly, but snorted coldly: "Elysium? It's a pity that Elysium only exists in the illusion, but I have never seen it." The expression was calm again, and the unhappiness made people look worried, not knowing what was going on in their hearts.

The abbot of Yuanfa felt a little annoyed at this time, but he regretted that he had not kept Suhun Cha in the first place, so that he had suffered this catastrophe.

According to Xiao Feng's posture now, I am afraid that he will not be able to get a blood once.

The abbot of Yuanfa opened his mouth and was about to explain, but Xiao Feng had already taken a step towards the inside and continued to walk inside, so he had no choice but to continue to follow Xiao Feng and walk inside.

After walking into the back, I saw a three-story pavilion with five eaves in front of you.

Noticing Xiao Feng's curious gaze, Abbot Yuanfa continued to explain: "This is the Great Compassion Pavilion!"

"Great Compassion Pavilion?" Xiao Feng was suddenly curious and slowly walked into the pavilion.

I saw a bright hall in front of me, there was no dark atmosphere that should be, I couldn't help but feel surprised, I looked up and saw that in this great compassion pavilion, there was a tall bronze Bodhisattva.

This Bodhisattva is nearly six zhang high, standing on a stone platform about 6.6 feet high, with 42 arms around the body, so it is also called "Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes Guanyin", and each arm holds the sun and moon, the net bottle, the pagoda, the King Kong, the sword and other weapons, showing a body of divine power, and the countless eyes on it are stunned to overlook the people on the ground, and it is full of the feeling of being high.

Placed under it, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable: "Isn't this Bodhisattva the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion?"

"Exactly!"

The abbot of Yuanfa replied, for some reason he always felt that Xiao Feng's gaze had become a little strange, especially when he looked at the Great Compassion Bodhisattva, with a hint of hostility.

Sure enough, Xiao Feng turned his head suddenly, staring at the person next to him with indifferent eyes, and his mouth revealed a little anger: "That is, the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion." But if it gathers the wealth of all people and collects the wealth of all the people to build its own body, is it considered a bodhisattva of great compassion? Even if it is really great compassion, I am afraid that it is only the great compassion of the common people, not its great compassion. ”

"What does that mean according to Yuanfeng Zhenren?" the Yuan Fa host asked timidly and in a low voice.

For some reason, he suddenly felt scared, afraid that he would hear the words that should not be heard from Xiao Fengzhong.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng smiled coldly, and said with a wave of his big hand: "It's demolished!"

As soon as the two words fell, he immediately let out a loud shout, and the whole person was completely paralyzed on the ground, as if his soul had been drained.
