Chapter 65 Jiming Temple on Jilong Mountain
The two of them left Xie Garden, got into the Zhulun carriage that had been waiting for a long time, and were driven by Yin Zhu himself, and slowly drove away at an unhurried speed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The carriage is very spacious, like a small room, which can accommodate several people to sit together, and is equipped with a soft couch with a table, and even utensils such as stoves and bottles and tea sets, where the driver can entertain guests, take a break and even deal with official business. However, compared to the 32 sedan chairs of Lan Yu, it is too far behind, when Lan Xiang returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, the sedan chair was carried by 32 people, which was divided into internal and external compartments, tables, chairs, screens and other things used, which can be called a luxury that ordinary magnates can hardly hope for.
At this time, Xiao Yuanying and Zhang Wuxian were already in the carriage, plus Xiao Zhinan and Xu Beiyou, just four people.
Compared with the light breeze of the other three, Xu Beiyou looked at the interior decoration of the car without a trace, he had sat in the car of the Liao Wangfu in Liaozhou, so after carefully observing for a while, he could determine that this should be the princess car on the same level as the prince, but some of the external gorgeous decorations were removed, and it was not so conspicuous.
Xiao Zhinan, as the master, was the first to ask, "Where are we going first today?" ”
Zhang Wuxian closed his eyes and recuperated and was indifferent. Although he looked young, he was actually already an ancient age, and he really had no intention of mixing with these young people, and the reason why he came with him was mainly to protect a few people.
Therefore, Xiao Zhinan did not intend to win the opinion of this sick tiger, and his eyes only stayed on Xiao Yuanying and Xu Beiyou.
Xiao Yuanying's eyes rolled, and he proposed: "I remember that there happened to be a peach blossom fan of Boss Deshou Bansu today, and I love to listen to his play the most." ”
With Xiao Zhinan by his side, Xu Beiyou undoubtedly had a lot of confidence in the face of Xiao Yuanying, and joked: "The county lord learned to play the role at a young age? ”
Xiao Yuanying glared at him, "You want to take care of it!?"
Xu Beiyou said narrowly: "Of course I can't control it, but I heard that Aunt Moshu hates the likes of dramas the most, I don't know if she can manage it?"
Xiao Yuanying, who was poked in the soft underbelly, was annoyed and angry, and raised his little fist to fight.
Xu Beiyou moved to Xiao Zhinan's side, and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is here." ”
With Xiao Zhinan present, Xiao Yuanying didn't dare to continue the next move, so he could only snort heavily and let go of his fist.
Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "In my opinion, I should go to the famous Buddhist temple nearby to have a look, and by the way, I can also try vegetarian food." ”
Xiao Yuanying is still a little girl after all, and after getting acquainted, she is not much different from ordinary children, she glared angrily at Xu Beiyou, and said angrily: "Who wants to go to the temple? Who wants to eat vegetarian food?
Zhang Wuxi touched the top of his head expressionlessly, fortunately his hair was not short, otherwise it would really hurt the pond fish.
Xiao Zhinan reluctantly said: "Otherwise, when I followed my father to Jiangnan a few years ago, I went to Jiming Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and this time I went to Jiming Temple, which should be regarded as a vow." ”
Xiao Yuanying glanced at her sister who was turning her elbow out very dissatisfied, and then turned her head away angrily.
Xiao Zhinan smiled slightly, and raised his voice slightly, "Silver candle, go to Jiming Temple." ”
Jiming Temple, located on Jilong Mountain outside the city of Jiangdu. The chicken coop is connected to Jiuhua Mountain in the east, Xuanwu Lake in the north, Gulougang in the west, the mountain is more than 200 feet high, and it is named because the mountain is round like a chicken coop.
Jilong Mountain is back to the lake and is close to the city, the emerald color floats in the air, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful. The site of the Jiming Temple is located, it was the place of the Great Chu Houyuan, as early as the first year of the Great Chu Yongkang, it was here to build a room on the mountain, and the dojo was founded. During the period of Xuanzong of Great Chu, this place was opened as the Imperial Governor's Office, and in the eighth year of Xuanzong of Great Chu, Xuanzong of Chu built Tongtai Temple in Jimingdai, so that this place has truly become a Buddhist resort since then.
There are six large halls in the temple of Tongtai Temple, more than ten small halls, a nine-storey floating temple, a seven-storey high Buddha Pavilion, enshrine the golden statue of ten squares and the silver statue of ten squares, the whole temple is built according to the royal regulations, the scale is large, the gold is brilliant, among the four hundred and eighty temples in the south of the Yangtze River, second only to the Great Bao'en Temple.
At the end of the Great Chu, after the construction of 300,000 soldiers under the Jiangdu City, all the immortals and masters came one after another, vowing to defend the Jiangdu City, poor Tongtai Temple did not know whether it was destroyed in the war, or destroyed in the fighting methods of the immortals, in short, it became a ruin, and maintained this state for nearly three hundred years.
It was not until the eighth year of the Great Qi Taiping that Emperor Xiao issued an order to build the Jiming Temple in Jilong Mountain and build a five-level floating map.
Kangle Gongxie Gongyi was ordered to supervise the work, rebuild the temple at the site of Tongtai Temple, demolish the old house, expand and expand, and move the Buddhist monks of Yuzhou to move to this mountain, build a five-level brick tower, named Puji Tower. The letter was hidden in a golden coffin, which was about five inches long. There is a sacrificial hall in front of the tower, and the festival is held on time every year. Its halls and gates are even larger than the original scale.
In the same year, Emperor Xiao ordered Cangxue Zen Master to be the first abbot of the mountain, and gave a copy of the "Golden Character Huayan Sutra" and a statue of Agarwood Guanyin, which was also put into the golden coffin and silver coffin, as the treasure of the town temple, and gave the door to say "Secret Pass", "View by the Place", "Out of the Dust Path", and the title "Jiming Temple".
In the tenth year of Chengping, Queen Xu prayed for her deceased father, and Xia Yi aimed to build a virtual pavilion here. In the fifteenth year of Chengping, Emperor Xiao toured the south and personally issued an order to expand the temple again, and built the mountain gate, the Tianwang Palace, the Thousand Buddha Pavilion, the Buddha Palace, the Left Guanyin Palace, the Right Wheel Tibetan Palace, the Wufang Palace, the Left Jialan Palace, the Right Patriarch Palace, the Food Table, etc.
And today, Jiming Temple has more than 30 palaces and pavilions, pavilions and houses, the whole temple covers an area of more than 100 acres, more than 1,000 permanent monks, one of the five major temples in the south of the Yangtze River.
To some extent, Jiming Temple was built by the royal family and has been repeatedly expanded, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a royal temple. It's no wonder that Xiao Zhinan wants to come here to make a vow, instead of going to the more famous Dabao'en Temple.
However, although it is a royal temple, it is not forbidden for other pilgrims to incense the Buddha, and along the way, you can see many dignitaries and nobles dragging their families to the Jiming Temple.
Coming to the front of the mountain gate, getting off the carriage, Xu Beiyou looked around, it can really be said that there is no cloth clothes to come and go, and the greeting and sending are all rich and noble, and there are really a lot of people, either the husband accompanies his wife to incense, or the son accompanies the old mother to worship the Buddha, but no one comes here to fiddle with pomp, at most it is just to bring one or two small maids, and the other entourages are waiting outside the mountain gate.
Speaking of Xu Beiyou and his entourage, in the eyes of outsiders, he and Xiao Zhinan are both in their early twenties, just like a newlywed Yan'er couple, Xiao Yuanying's girl is still young, and her appearance is quite similar to Xiao Zhinan, obviously sisters and the like, not obtrusive. As for Zhang Sick Tiger and Silver Candle, they are servants with him, and he can't blame Zhang Wuxian for not having momentum, but he deliberately did it to restrain the momentum of the gods around him, and return to the basics.
A group of five people entered the mountain gate of Jiming Temple, because Xiao Zhinan did not believe in advance, but he did not make any scene of presiding over the personal welcome, but an ordinary monk led the group to the temple.
Xiao Zhinan and Xu Beiyou walked side by side at the forefront, and Xiao Zhinan whispered to Xu Beiyou from time to time to introduce the origin and anecdotal allusions of various palaces, and he was happy.
The silver candle walks in the middle.
Xiao Yuanying walked last with Zhang Wuxi with a stinky face.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Wuxian couldn't help but smile and said, "Little county lord, it's not like your temper to be angry for a trivial matter." ”
Xiao Yuanying said angrily: "I was so worried about the two of them before, but now it's as good as a person, and I have become superfluous." ”
Zhang Wuxian chuckled lightly and quipped: "Is the county lord jealous? Is it because Xu Beiyou robbed Her Royal Highness the princess, or because Her Royal Highness the princess snatched Xu Beiyou?"
Xiao Yuanying's face suddenly turned red, and he said: "Zhang Zhihu, you are also an elder, how can you slander people's innocence out of thin air!"
Zhang Wuxian was stunned for a moment, then gently patted his mouth, shook his head and said, "It's me who lost his words, just because I didn't say it." ”
Xiao Yuanying is a little girl after all, there is no hidden and unrevealed city, and Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan are both delicate people, and they have long seen her abnormality, but they all pretend not to know.
After all, in this matter, it was difficult for the two of them to speak, but in the end, they were broken by Zhang Wuxi.
Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan, who were walking in front, glanced at each other and smiled wordlessly.
At this moment, another person walked into the mountain gate of Jiming Temple, looking at the dress of whether he was rich or expensive, looking like a crown of jade, handsome like a woman, but the cynical smile on his face destroyed the gas of this turbid world, making him more like a prodigal.
