Chapter 25 [Rooftop Blessed Land Puxian Meditation Hall]
He jumped and ran away while leaping on the treetops. The branches of the forest swayed. In a blink of an eye, they were dozens of steps away. After walking southwest, Zhong Qi lightly pressed down on a green bamboo shoot and bent down. He moved several feet apart, and it had already landed in the middle of the road.
He looked behind him and saw that no one was chasing him, Zhong Qi breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the stick and walked slowly along the road, while untied the gourd from the stick and poured it on two mouthfuls, chuckled slightly with a breath:
"As the teacher said, the magic of this world is just the illusion of Qimen Dunjia, all of which are small paths. If you want to truly show your saints, you have to rely on your own martial arts as the foundation."
If he could only escape from clouds and smoke, Zhong Qi would definitely not be able to escape from the situation just now. However, with his martial arts and light skills, even if he was using some people, as long as there were no bows and crossbows, he would still not be able to take Zhong Qi.
It was also Zhong Qi who had the idea of experimenting with his own escape ability. Otherwise, with his martial arts, these ten mobs would have mixed results.
After walking along the stretching mountain road for several miles, the pedestrians gradually became dense, mostly from the direction of Liangzhou. Zhong Qi's heart was a little calmer and walked forward with his head down.
At dusk, I walked about dozens of miles. After passing two inspection checkpoints, the road gradually became flat and wide, not far from Liangzhou. Between the road, a towering mountain appeared in front of me, which was extremely conspicuous in the Liangzhou plain.
But see:
The roots are like Kunlun's ancestral veins, and the sky is shining in the clouds. White cranes come to live in cypresses and cypresses. When the mysterious ape is, they hang vines. The sun shines on the clear forest, and thousands of red mists are stacked around them. The wind blows in the dark valleys, and thousands of colorful clouds fly.
There is a stone archway next to the road, which is three feet wide and about 10 feet high. It has written seal characters inscribed in the dark. Zhong Qi observed and said, "Is there a Tiantai Mountain in Xingyuan Mansion also? The strange way that the post station is called Tiantai Post, which is why the mountain is named."
Which small seal script carved in the same font as the previous life? Zhong Qi reads more ancient books and talismans in his previous life, so he can naturally identify them clearly.
The stone tablet reads the emperor's imperial pen and imperial seal, the twelfth cave heaven in the world, the blessed land of Tiantai Mountain, 37 miles in a radius, there are twenty-six Zen temples, twelve Guanyu Towers, Wang Lingguan Hall, etc.
Seeing that the sun was already west, Zhong Qi rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then turned around and headed towards the mountains along the layers of bluestone steps behind the archway.
In terms of incense, Tiantai Mountain can at least throw General Temple out of eight streets. Even at dusk, the wandering people who are going up the mountain to pray for blessings are still coming in a constant stream with their family servants.
The pilgrimage took a break, and Zhong Qize was not red in his face and walked straight up the mountain without breathing. He climbed more than a hundred steps and climbed to the top of a small ridge. He could see the grand scenery of the rooftop by leaning against the railings.
I saw that in the clouds and mists that never dissipated all year round, there were the Thousand Years Peak, the Five Fortune Peak, the Furong Peak, the towering and stern shining light, the Long Live Stone, the Tiger Teeth Stone, the Three-pointed Stone, and the Thousand Phosphorus and Phosphorus and Phosphorus produce auspicious energy.
Linyun Cliffs have beautiful grass, plum blossoms and orchids are fragrant on Wubu Ridge, thorns are dense, and the orchids are light. The eagles and phoenixes gather in the deep forest, and the qilins are dominated by thousands of birds, and the ancient caves are qilins under the jurisdiction of thousands of beasts.
"Tsk tsk tsk... It's really a fairy mountain, a blessed land. Compared to this, my Wu Mountain is like a barren mountain. No wonder the incense is so prosperous. Most of them are the literati and poets who love this beautiful mountain scenery..."
Seeing the incense in the mountains swelling into the sky, Zhong Qi stroked the railings of the octagonal pavilion, and the poems and ink traces left by the nameless literati were amazed.
After climbing the steps along the stone stairs and wandering around Tiantai Mountain for a long time, Zhong Qi has gained his knowledge. This ancient scenic spot does not charge for admission, and the scenery becomes more natural, which is very different from the previous life.
But what surprised Zhong Qi was that he had wandered for a long time and saw dozens of Buddhist temples. The Taoist Guanyu family did not have one. There was only one spiritual official hall, which was also dilapidated. The spider webs were bonded and the statues of the gods were overwhelmed. There was no Taoist temple to pay homage.
In the mountains, I only saw monks' robes and tile bowls and tile bowls and zibos, but I didn't see any Taoist people. All the pilgrims went to the Zen temples.
Zhong Qi couldn't, so he had to find a Zen temple to hold a order. Fortunately, at this time, both Buddhism and Taoism are one family, and they belong to the upper three religions of the three religions. Although they are dirty with each other, they are not even able to stay away from each other and are laughed at by their fellow disciples.
Just as I was looking for a place to live, I saw the incense in front of me soaring into the sky, the swaying sandalwood fragrance was like auspicious clouds gathering on the top, and the auspicious mist was everywhere.
However, there was a Zen temple in the mountain depression. I could hear Zhong Xin melodiously, and I saw the misty cigarettes. Zhong Qi walked quickly to the front of the door.
Just as I was about to go in, I was surprised to see a Taoist in the Zen temple with a short beard hanging from a few beads (also known as rosary beads, beads used to calculate the number of times when chanting scriptures), chanting Buddhist scriptures.
Before Zhong Qi could reply, the short-bearded Taoist first put a eleven tribute and said, "Amitabha, I just saw the gentleman looking outside the courtyard. Is Taoism facing difficulties..."
When Zhong Qi heard Amitabha Buddha, he knew that this man was actually a Buddhist and was just worshipping Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, so he dressed up in Taoism. He was not surprised. He also quickly bowed his head and said:
"I have seen the elders. I came from the General Temple in Wushan, Gucheng. I followed the order of the master and went to Liangzhou. I passed by Guibao Temple. It was already late. I wanted to hang the Danbao Temple and stayed for one night. I don't know if it was feasible..."
The monk Daoyi nodded and replied with a smile: "As the saying goes, red flowers, white lotus, clear lotus leaves, the three religions have always had the same ancestor style, Taoist immortals have come to this point, which is the blessing of the Zen temple. What's wrong with it? Please come in, please come in."
Then the monk led Zhong Qi into the hospital and arrived at the main hall. It turned out that it was the evening class of the Zen temple. The whole room was full of beautiful and majestic. Two thick waists stood red pillars. He wrote a letter to write a gold seal script, saying: "Calmly collect the sword of wisdom, the devil's head is extremely good, and the Prajna Palao is very good at the highest level."
Under the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, all the disciples recited the Lotus Sutra together. The head of the old classmate tapped the gold to cast chimes. In front of the Buddha, the magnificent candles were like golden flames shooting rainbows; the fragrant sandalwood was like jade smoke flying colorful fog.
After a while, the evening class had finished, the monks fell to the cushion and prayed. The monk dressed up told Zhong Qi to wait a moment and enter the hall to report to the elders.
A moment later, an old monk in brown clothes walked out, wearing a red cassock and white socks on his feet. He walked out of the hall. Zhong Qi knew that he was a great monk and did not dare to be negligent. He quickly bowed to the end and said softly, "Xiaodao Zhong Hongji, I have seen the elders."
But the Tao does not tell the longevity, the monk does not tell the name of the monk, and Zhong Qi does not want to ask about the name of the old monk, but just bows to reveal it.
The old monk raised his hand to Zhong Qi with a white face and said with a kind look: "The Taoist is so polite. I am Shi Jingxuan, please go into the living room and sit in some vegetarian food. I will ask the guest to arrange a house for the Taoist."
"Xie Guibaosha is inviting her, Elder Xie Jingxuan..." Zhong Qi bowed and bowed. A young monk in green came out. He had seen the etiquette with Zhong Qi, and then he was taken to the guest hall to sit.
After a cup of tea, a monk from the dormitory came to entertain him, and placed a table and chairs on the table, all of which were fruit-flavored flowers. The table was arranged with vegetarian dishes.
This is also the benefit of staying on orders. Not only does it cost no money, you can also enjoy a vegetarian banquet, especially in Buddhism. Although there are many precepts, it is said to be a sacred practice, but it is actually the most luxurious.
It is said to be a vegetarian vegetarian, but there are actually many varieties. First, I served white rice, steamed cakes, steamed sugar cakes, fried mushrooms, fried fragrant tan, fried bamboo shoots, and fried fungus.
Later, the monks in the Zen temple were afraid that Zhong Qi would not get used to eating it, so they issued a decree. The monks made a special trip to Zhong Qi for the Taoist longevity meal, vine green, taro, radish vine, yam, Polygonatum, Poria cocos and other substances.
Compared to the monk who was stinky in his previous life and had a greasy and greedy face, the monks in this life gave Zhong Qi a great favor.
These monks lived in the mountains for a long time and practiced Buddhism devoutly. Their income was entirely based on the donor's kindness and will of heaven. They did not fight or compete, and they opened their own fields. They were simple, kind, and respectful, which was completely in line with the image of the monk in Zhong Qi's heart.
In order to entertain the Taoist priest Zhong Qi, the monks swept the houses and took out all the things they had always given and were reluctant to give up, and they were really kind.
After Zhong Qi was alone at the banquet, the monk in charge of the guest led Zhong Qi to visit the temple. This Samantabhadra Zen Temple has more than 50 monks' houses, covering an area of dozens of acres. Not to mention Tiantai Mountain, even compared with thousands of temples in Daliang, it is also a large temple.
Zhong Qi walked around and heard the fragrance of sandalwood, and felt the strong Zen spirit coming to his face. It is worthy of being the Buddhist scripture house and the Beiquebao Palace, all of which are layered palaces and pavilions, and corridors.
Outside the Sanshan Hall, there are a few pine and bamboo trees, no matter the year or the year, there are no signs of quietness. In front of the Wufu Gate, there are two cypresses, which are colorful and beautiful.
I saw the bells and drums, the towers are high, the towers are handsome, the monks are calm, and the sounds of birds are idle. I was really lonely, and I was pure and empty. There is a Tao fruit and clear and empty.
