Chapter 42 Temple
In Li Huowang's impression. Most of the temples are built on mountains, and temples built in cities are relatively rare.
But this is not what he cares about. What he cares more about now is the name of the temple mentioned by the pilgrim just now, Zhengde Temple?
Li Huowang immediately recalled what Zhengkun said to Danyangzi before he died. They seemed to have been chased and killed by the monk of Zhengde Temple.
His heart began to beat faster, he found the right place, and after experiencing so many things along the way, he finally arrived.
At this moment, with a turn, the front suddenly opened up.
Clean and tidy stone slabs all the way to the bottom of the wide steps, and at the end of these hundreds of steps, a majestic temple with red walls surrounded by cigarettes comes into view.
On the black plaque above the tall temple gate, three big characters are written in vermilion, Zhengde Temple,
The first couplet: The cultivation of virtue is due to the perfection of the Dharma body, and the second couplet: The clear water and the moon reveal the dignity of the jade cover.
Under the flourishing incense, the entire temple was shrouded in white smoke, which looked very fairy-like.
Master Xiaodao, I won't accompany you in. Please do as you please. By the way, Xijing City is different from Jianye. There is a curfew at night. Remember to come back before dark.
Li Huowang took a deep breath and walked towards the crowded steps.
Follow the pilgrims and walk into the temple all the way, and several halls are located in front of you.
At this moment, Li Huowang stood there like a rock in the crowd, looking at everything around him.
The temple was found, but the next question stumped him, how should he contact the monks in this temple?
Said directly that he is a disciple of Dan Yangzi? I'm afraid I'm going to be slapped to death by them.
Before Li Huowang could come up with a countermeasure, the monk from Zhengde Temple approached him first. After all, even in a crowded crowd, the Taoist robe on Li Huowang was too eye-catching.
As soon as the other party opened his mouth, the pure taste of Buddhism was not comparable to that of the old monk before. Amitabha, the poor monk is firm and polite.
Seeing the rich monk in front of him clasping his hands together, Li Huowang immediately returned the salute. Master, it's a pleasure to meet you, in Xia Xuanyang.
The benefactor, as a Taoist disciple, must not come to this temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, right? This way please.
Looking at the lively crowd around, Li Huowang nodded and followed him to the side door next to him.
Looking at the ring scar on the monk's head in front of him, Li Huowang began to ponder what to say next.
The two kept shuttling between the majestic temples, and the hustle and bustle of the crowd at the gate gradually receded. Finally, they stopped under a bright yellow ginkgo tree and in front of a group of stone tables and benches.
Please benefactor. Monk Jian Huan sat down, twirling a string of beads with both hands leisurely.
He didn't ask Li Huowang which sect he was in, nor did he ask Li Huowang, he fully expressed the pure heart and light desires of Buddhist disciples.
After thinking for a while, Li Huowang looked at the monk in front of him. Danyangzi is dead.
With a click, the yellow-brown Buddhist beads were scattered everywhere.
Seeing the fat monk standing up in front of him, Li Huowang nodded secretly.
No mistake, the monk here really had contact with Dan Yangzi.
The Ox-nosed Old Daoist is really dead? This matter is of great importance, and the benefactors are invited to come one by one.
Since you want to know the answer, of course you must tell the other party enough information.
In addition to concealing that he took the so-called heavenly book, Li Huowang told the monk in front of him everything that happened in Qingfeng Temple.
Master, in that situation, can Dan Yangzi really become a fairy?
Speaking of this, Li Huowang leaned forward slightly, and continued to ask with a dignified expression: Or maybe he became something else?
A breeze blew by, rustling the golden leaves of the nearby ginkgo tree.
The benefactor really heard that Dan Yangzi was speaking in your ear? Jian Chao, who had the same solemn expression, confirmed again.
Well, it's absolutely true, and it's not just a hallucination, but also the abnormality of the happy spirit.
Recalling the scene at that time, Li Huowang's eyes showed a trace of irritability.
The Xishen, who couldn't be seen directly, was about to crawl out of the darkness and eat me, but his body hidden in the darkness seemed to be pulled by something.
Although there is no reason, I have a guess in my heart that the person pulling Xishen in the dark is Danyangzi, the queen who became a fairy.
After thinking about it with a serious expression, Jian Chao stood up. Benefactor, please wait a moment, this matter is of great importance.
After finishing speaking, Jian Huan clasped his hands together towards Li Huowang, turned around and left in a hurry.
Although the other party didn't say anything, his attitude has already expressed some information.
Li Huowang raised his head and looked at the clouds in the sky. Sure enough, the matter of Dan Yangzi is not so easy to end.
Jian Chao came back faster than Li Huowang imagined, at most only half a stick of incense, and he hurried back with a string of new Buddhist beads in his hand.
Benefactor Xuanyang, this way please, the abbot wants to see you in person.
Zhengde Temple is very large. After Li Huowang shuttled between the temples for a long time, he finally stood in front of a magnificent hall.
Through the eight-door palace door, Li Huowang saw the huge majestic Golden Buddha with a height of more than ten feet and five sitting cross-legged in different postures.
On the futon in front of the five golden Buddhas, there is a back figure wearing cassock, with a five-Buddha hat similar to that of a Tang monk sitting on his head.
After Li Huowang walked in, he heard the monk's chanting, because the hall was spacious enough, the chanting even produced an ethereal echo.
Under the gaze of the five huge golden Buddhas, Li Huowang involuntarily slowed down.
The chanting stopped, and the monk sitting cross-legged on the futon turned around slowly.
Li Huowang was surprised when he saw the appearance of this monk.
It was an old abbot with white eyebrows and beard, what was unexpected was not his unusually kind appearance, but his eyes.
Those were a pair of pink eyes, Li Huowang could recognize it at a glance after being together day and night for so long. Like Bai Lingmiao, he had albinism.
Amitabha, old monk Xinhui is polite. Abbot Xinhui clasped his hands together and spoke calmly.
I met the abbot in Xia Xuanyang. After Li Huowang saluted, he sat down facing him.
Abbot, about Danyangzi—
Li Huowang was halfway through speaking when he was blocked by the raised hand of the other party.
Benefactor Xuanyang, do you know the five Buddhas in this hall?
Seeing Li Huowang shaking his head, Xinhui explained while stroking his long white beard: Vairocana in the middle Vajra world, Akha Buddha in the eastern incense accumulation world, Baosheng Buddha in the southern joyful world, Amitabha Buddha in the western Paradise world, and the attainment in the northern lotus world. Buddha, they are collectively called the Five Wisdom Tathagatas.”
Li Huowang couldn't help but feel a little anxious, what did the monk mean when he said these nonsensical words to himself.
Abbot, let's talk about this later when we have time. May I ask what has become of Dan Yangzi?
Xinhui clasped her hands together and looked at Li Huowang calmly again. He has become a Buddha.
There is another chapter to be added later today, please wait a moment.
