Chapter 934 Meeting Qinglong in Qinglong Temple!

Some places will have obvious off-peak and peak tourist seasons. These places are basically famous for their beautiful scenery, which changes with the four seasons. Their four seasons throughout the year are like those of the ancient Qing Dynasty. Tourists will always choose the last place after dressing up. Come enjoy it when it is beautiful, but other places rely on scenic spots and historic sites, so the impact of seasons on the off-peak and peak tourist seasons is not obvious.

after all,

A stone is still a stone, a sculpture is still a sculpture, a pagoda is still a pagoda,

Clay figurines...still clay figurines,

For thousands of years, not much has changed.

Xi'an is a city with a very ancient charm. For the monk, this place carries many of his own memories. Although he has traveled far and wide, this is the root of the monk after all.

It's a pity that the last blood corpse incident caused many things to be erased by the broadcast. The roots of the monk can no longer be found and are not included in any records.

In this regard, the monk is not too sad. For the monk, the best destination is to come and go in vain. The power of broadcast can erase everything, but it is in line with the monk's aesthetic view of death and ending.

At least, that's what the monk thought.

Among the crowds, the monk was walking alone holding a Buddhist bead. People around him noticed him from time to time, but they didn't pay too much attention to him. They always felt that the monk looked a little unusual, but after a second look, they felt that there was nothing special about him.

Looking at the familiar ancient city wall and smelling the aroma of food coming from all around, the monk always had a smile on his face. When he was a child, his master often brought him here to sneak snacks, and so did his senior brothers.

It's a pity that they are no longer here.

Unfortunately, they can't be found.

The monk sighed twice.

Nowadays, in people's common perception, the most prosperous places in China are nothing more than the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. In fact, the political, economic and cultural center of China was not there in the past. Xi'an began from the Zhou Dynasty. Through the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, it was a capital city. In the early years, Jiangnan was actually an uncivilized land full of barbarians and Di people. The real development did not begin until the establishment of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period, and then after the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the economic and political The cultural center began to shift to the south.

Of course, there is also Henan, which is the most hurt by hackers now. Back then, it was almost synonymous with the Central Plains. The people in Henan at that time had the same mentality towards outsiders as the people in Beijing now.

The monks did not come back specially to visit their relatives. The Buddha traveled around, and in the end he took away a ray of merit and virtue to prepare for a breakthrough, let alone the monks. Their state, combined with the current environment, is truly leisurely. , is really a luxury product.

Having stayed at the senior level for too long, the monk felt powerless too many times. Especially after Fatty Su Bai and Buddha around him advanced, this feeling of powerlessness began to become stronger and stronger.

But the monk endured it until the canal was completed, leaving only water, and this water is in the ancient city of Xi'an.

As he walked, a tall tower appeared in front of the monk. This was the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which is also one of the landmark buildings in Xi'an. The monk did not stop under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but continued walking northeast. Not far away, he arrived at this place. The place he is coming to is Qinglong Temple.

There are many tourists in Qinglong Temple, and the incense is very strong. After all, if you look closely, this is the ancestral home of Buddhist Tantric Buddhism. More than a thousand years ago, Japan's Master Kukai accompanied the Tang envoy to the Tang Dynasty and entered Qinglong Temple to worship under Master Huiguo. Buddhism, after Master Keiko passed away, Monk Kukai returned to Japan and founded the Shingon sect, which is considered one of the mainstream Buddhist sects in Japan today.

The monk looked at the endless stream of tourists coming in and out around him, with a wry smile on his face. Sometimes, a hundred years is enough to change things, not to mention that Qinglong Temple has a history of more than a thousand years. In fact, the temple in front of him is Qinglong Temple has nothing to do with the real Qinglong Temple in history. During the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court massacred Buddhism. Qinglong Temple suffered a military disaster and was directly razed. The current Qinglong Temple is just rebuilt on the site by future generations.

The monk still stood at the door and did not go in. If he encountered a wandering monk standing at the door of his house in some quiet temples in the mountains, he would definitely go up and ask if he needed any help. But in this current commercial atmosphere , the monk stood at the door for almost an hour, and still no monk came out to ask him.

With the character of a monk, he would naturally not lament that "people's hearts are not as good as the world has become." In fact, the Qinglong Temple in front of him was not the Qinglong Temple he wanted to go to.

He's waiting here,

slowly,

With the monk as the center of the circle, the figures of the surrounding tourists began to become more and more blurred, and then, it seemed that only the monk and the Qinglong Temple were left in the world.

The Buddhist beads in the monk's hand began to glow faintly at this time. This string of Buddhist beads was one of the monk's most important magical instruments. The fat man once curiously asked the monk about the origin of this magical instrument. The monk's answer was simple, his Masters of past generations, masters of masters, and masters of masters, passed away and strung the relics one by one to become this string of beads.

As the light of the Buddha beads continued to flash, the surrounding area also became quiet.

The monk closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and began to recite the Heart Sutra. After such a long period of forbearance and preparation, now there is only the last step left. To say he is not excited would be false, but above the excitement, there is something extra. A sense of indifference.

Buddhism teaches people not to fight and to abandon the seven emotions and six desires. However, this can be done in the real world, but in the story world, it cannot be done this way;

The fight, the fight, the calculation, has been started a long time ago. When he saw that the gods and Buddhas in the sky could be broadcast and treated as NPCs in the story world in large quantities, the monk no longer looked at it. The Buddha of Nothingness is actually the same as Lord Buddha. When they practice Buddhism, they are not cultivating any Buddha that is recognized by people, but they are cultivating themselves as a Buddha.

"Amitabha, you monk, you have been standing here for a long time, do you want to go into the temple and have some vegetarian food?" A clear child's voice came from beside the monk.

The monk slowly opened his eyes and saw the young novice standing next to him.

The young novice's tone was a little condescending. He thought he had met many monks who came to eat and drink. Of course, the Qinglong Temple family has a great business and would not be short of food to take care of the Buddhist monks. Generally speaking, three meals are given to them. If you are a virtuous eminent monk, you can talk about Buddhism with the masters in the temple. It is not impossible to stay and worship in Qinglong Temple when the time comes. And those monks who are not popular after enjoying three fast meals can also Nopimian continued to eat and drink here with a shy face.

"Okay." The monk replied simply.

"follow me."

The little novice walked in front carrying the broom, and the monk followed behind.

The temple is still the same temple, but it has an extra touch of grandeur and grandeur, and it also shows the heritage that should belong to it but has long been worn away and invisible in the wave of commercialization in later generations.

After entering the main gate, he turned a corner and saw a dozen or so monks in luxurious clothes sitting on the white jade railing in front of him. Some of these monks were sitting upright and meticulous, some were calm and composed as if they were born in heaven, and some were eclectic and casual. The statues of various Buddhas in the temples of later generations are exactly like those in later generations.

In the middle, there is a solemn monk sitting, who is vaguely the head of the monks. The other monks are performing discipleship rituals in front of him.

"Shh, don't look too much. Come with me. You've already eaten your vegetarian meal early. You can come and go wherever you want. Those masters and uncles are not something we can disturb." The little novice monk reminded Qi Lv.

Qi Lu seemed not to have heard anything and still stood there, looking at the masters on the lotus jade platform.

The little novice was a little anxious, and stretched out his hand to tug the monk's sleeves a few times, "How can you, a monk, be so ignorant! Why don't you come with me!"

But at this moment, the monk who was held up by the stars suddenly laughed loudly, stood up, and pointed at the dignified and meticulous monk beside him,

"Hui Ying, he must be your junior."

"Returning to Master, it should be that the Buddhist beads in his hand are also strung with the relics of his disciples, and the relics of his great disciple are also strung on them."

Monk Huiying is one of the famous monks in history, so the master he calls is naturally Monk Huiguo.

Historically, Monk Huiguo served as the national preceptor of Daizong, Dezong, and Shunzong of the Tang Dynasty. He was highly respected. He was also very smart at a young age, and his Buddhist attainments were beyond ordinary people. If his life were recorded, it would be more buggy than the protagonist of later novels. , the absolute pride of heaven, the leader of Buddhism.

More importantly, each of his disciples is an accomplished monk. The dark-skinned and slightly short monk sitting at the end of the table is probably the monk Kukai who founded the Shingon Sect in Japan. At this time, he was still studying Buddhism at Qinglong Temple.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty was the center of the world, and foreign friends did not receive the same special treatment as in later generations. Even if they lost a bicycle or a mobile phone, they would be treated with special treatment and dealt with with all their strength. In addition, Monk Huiguo's disciples were all great virtuous monks in the future. Therefore, in the future, monk Kukai, who will be the successor of the Shingon sect, can only accompany the last one here.

However, after hearing the conversation between Master Huiguo and Senior Brother Huiying, Monk Kukai showed a look of surprise on his face. Then he looked at the faces of the senior brothers around him who looked calm, as if there was nothing unexpected, and he felt even more embarrassed. Sure enough, my level is still too low.

In fact, it’s no wonder that monk Kukai

Normal people would be surprised when suddenly faced with this sentence. Aren't you still alive? How could you point at a young monk and say that the beads in his hand have the relics of himself, himself and his disciples strung on them?

Qi Lu clasped his hands together, bowed solemnly to the monks Huiguo and Huiying above him and said:

"Disciple Qilu, pay homage to our great uncle!"
