Chapter 475 Buddhism
Hangzhou City, Lingyin Temple.
The mountain temple is full of ancient trees, which make the stone paths look green and dusty. Along the gurgling spring water, the statues of Feilai Peak on the other side of the bank are more simple and solemn.
Li Yu came to worship the temple, followed by Li Jun and Zhu Wu.
Entering the temple, Li Yu followed the steep stairs and a corner of the hall eaves slanted out of the shade of the trees, leaping in a curve in his quiet sight, highlighting a light and agility in this solemn and solemn, which means "the ancient temple is hidden in the deep mountains" and "the flowers and trees in the Zen room are deep."
Lingyin Temple has five main halls, namely the Heavenly King Hall, the Great Hall, the Medicine Buddha Hall, the Sutra Tower and the Huayan Hall.
The largest villa in the Heavenly King Temple has the oldest history. Most of the buildings in the courtyard were built when the Buddhist temple was at its peak hundreds of years ago. At that time, it was known as the Buddhist Kingdom in Jiangnan, and there were 108 temples in Hangzhou. Today, there are still ancient buildings with stone-building platforms and wooden structures on them.
The stone platform is about four or five feet high, much higher than the two-foot foundation of Daxiangguo Temple. Use large pieces of raw stone to hit the close contacts, and then build the surface into a flat tortoise shell, which is like a fortification of the city.
The outer wall of the building does not use bricks and stones. They are all made of precious wood such as complete mast or golden nanmu, and are formed by mortise and tenon, without a single iron nail. There is no unnecessary decoration on the beams, and the brackets are stacked like layers of mountains, which shows the ingenuity of the workmanship.
The wood of golden nanmu is straight and has few joints. The grains of gold are covered with gold wire. They are not painted and are not afraid of rot. The more they are used, the brighter they are, and smoother they are like silk, hence the name.
Therefore, the buildings in the courtyard do not require paint. Unlike ordinary temples with colorful and exquisite decorations, they only reveal the shiny and shiny wood color, which shines under the sunlight, and is lined with the lush pines and cypresses in the courtyard, emitting an ancient and tranquil solemnity and solemnity.
"Three, we have a request from the temple."
Li Yu nodded and stepped in. Although he was known as the public enemy of Buddhism, in Jiangnan, everyone now has an enemy, that is Fang La.
When Li Yu came to Lingyin Temple, the minimum requirement was to keep them neutral and not to have a back prick when he was fighting against Qingxidong.
Of course, it would be better if they were willing to contribute their strength. There were many masters in Lingyin Temple, and their strength was far superior to that of Taoist priests in Dongxu Palace.
The person responsible for guiding them was Zen Master Dehui. He could not see any hostility towards Li Yu. After all, although Li Yu was known as the public enemy of Buddhism, he actually only harmed the interests of the three major temples of the Tang Dynasty and the Daxiangguo Temple.
The four of them walked and chatted. Before they arrived at a strange building, Li Yu had never seen this Buddhist temple building before.
The building is like a tortoise-shaped base made of square-cut large gray stones. The houses on the top are all made of wooden structures, but the wood is bright and shiny. From a distance, it looks like amber.
Obviously, the courtyard is old and still above the buildings in the garden. You should know that Lingyin Temple has been an ancient temple that has been nearly a thousand years old. But the most peculiar part is not the old, but the strange structure of the building.
Feeling Li Yu's gaze, Zen Master Dehui smiled and said, "This is where the ancestor of our temple suddenly realized - the Great Compassion Building. It was he who left this Great Compassion Building and allowed future generations to build Yinling Temple with this as the center."
Li Yu nodded. This place is indeed ingenious and magnificent. If you study it carefully, you should get something. Unfortunately, there is not much time today.
I feel that every sect with background has some exquisite buildings that contain endless mysteries.
No wonder among the big sects, people with advanced cultivation are prone to emerge, such as Lingyin Temple, and there will be a Daoji Living Buddha, commonly known as Jigong.
When he walked into the Heavenly King Hall, a monk sat on the cushion. His figure was very tall. Although he was not as good as Lu Zhishen, he was no less than that of Lu Zhishen.
After Li Yu and the other four came in, he raised his eyelids and Dehui on the side smiled and said, "Senior Brother, this is the serious saint Li Yu, and he is also the master of the serious sect. Li is the host of this temple and Master Deshao."
Deshao stood up, folded his hands together, and said, "I have heard of the name of the righteous great saint for a long time. When I saw it today, I really have a outstanding style."
Li Yu also bent down slightly and said, "Master Deshao's profound Buddhism, and I have heard of it for a long time."
"please!"
Li Yu found a cushion and sat down. The hall was filled with a strong Buddha fragrance that had been growing stronger for a long time. Deshao asked: "There must be something wrong with the head Li coming from Bianliang."
"Fang La has been in trouble with Jiangnan for a long time. The court is preparing to completely eliminate the enemy. Her Majesty the Queen sent me to come and make a little effort."
Deshao nodded in his heart. The court was bound to win this time. The troops and horses of the Song Dynasty were too weak and the generals were incompetent, which allowed Fang La to hold on to such a climate.
I have peeked at Yue Fei's camp, but now the Yue family army is far from comparable to the Song army yesterday. This time I sent Li Yu over and his chances of victory increased greatly.
Others may not know that a monk like Deshao cannot not know Li Yu's power.
"With Master Li in charge, I believe Fang La will never escape this time." Deshao said a polite word. Li Yu was waiting for the following words, but he didn't say it.
Want to watch from the wall?
Li Yu sighed and said, "Fang La is a disaster to Jiangnan Road. As the leader of the Buddhist sect of Jiangnan Road, countless believers and monks are looking forward to it, hoping that the master can help and kill this enemy together."
Deshao nodded and said, "Although my Lingyin Temple is insignificant, I am naturally obliged to do this. Dehui, you will take ten disciples to the military camp to save the dead soldiers."
“Yes, host.”
Li Yu held his knees, stood up, and laughed.
Behind him, Li Jun and Zhu Wu both had a faint look of anger.
Deshao seemed to have noticed it and continued, "Is Master Li leaving? I should send Master Li down the mountain in person."
"No need." Li Yu waved his hand and said, "I, Li Yu, can go down the mountain, and the mage can sit here."
Li Jun also sneered: "The mage sits here and is the greatest support."
The three of them left with a smile on their sleeves, Dehui said with a worried look on his face, "Senior Master, if you don't send someone, you won't send someone, or if you ask me to take my disciples to go there, why do you need to anger this person?"
Deshao smiled and said, "The two schools of Jiangnan Taoism and Buddhism do not welcome Lin Lingsu and his descendants. Whether it is Fang La or the Song Dynasty, we all practice behind closed doors. But we cannot let Jiangnan Taoism fall into this person's hands. Look at the Daxiangguo Temple in Bianliang, I often fear that our Lingyin Temple will also become his Taoist sect."
Dehui leaned over and whispered: "What does senior brother mean?"
Deshao shook his head gently and said, "Let's watch the changes, and take action when necessary."
......
"The Jiangnan Road is today, and it is definitely not the only one who is Zhao Ji. I think Jiangnan Road itself is already rotten." Li Yu said coldly: "Especially the two Buddhist and Taoist schools."
Li Jun said: "The chief lord is about to fight, so it is not advisable to cause too many troubles."
Li Yu turned around, looked at Lingyin Temple covered by the verdant verdant, and smiled and said, "I have my own means to deal with them."
