Looking at the young men lying on the ground, the big man put away his stick and walked towards the leading young man. The young man lying on the ground was startled when he saw the big man walking towards him. He quickly turned over and knelt down, shouting: "Two men!"
Brother, please spare your life, we were wrong!" The big man squatted down and hummed: "Raise your head and speak!" The young man raised his head and said: "Brother, what are your orders?" The big man said: "You have been following our brothers for three days.
,for what?"
The young man's expression changed and he said, "Brother, we are not following you!" The big man turned around and said, "Er Bao, I hate people who lie to me. Come and teach him how to tell the truth." The fat man responded, "Brother,
Don't worry, I will make him tell the truth!" He walked over with long strides and looked at the fat man walking towards him. The young man's face changed. Seeing that the fat man was already in front of him, he hurriedly said: "Brother, I
Say...I said..."
The big man waved his hand, and the fat man stopped. The young man said: "Brother, I am from the Red Star Gang. Our hall leader said that you two have a treasure on your body. It was originally something from our Red Star Gang. It was stolen by you two a few days ago."
We went to the branch hall to borrow it, so we are sent to follow you and wait for the opportunity... to take it away." The big man asked doubtfully: "Treasure, what treasure?" The young man said: "The hall master said that the two of you... have a hidden treasure on your body.
picture."
The big man jumped at the corner of his eyes, suddenly stood up, raised his foot and kicked the young man. The young man was kicked and rolled twice on the ground. He turned over and knelt on the ground again, begging for mercy: "Brother, have mercy!" The big man sneered: "
Hong Gang's information is quite good. You go back and tell him that the Qian brothers do have a treasure map. If he has the ability, just come and get it. My brothers are waiting for him at any time!" The young man was overjoyed. This life seems to have been saved.
When he came back, he stood up and waved to a group of young people. The young people lying on the ground quickly got up and followed the young man to get bread. In less than half a minute, several vans had already left the scene.
Zhang Ruolan looked at Cheng Yiping with some surprise. Except for what he said when the young people besieged the Han brothers, he never said a word until the young people left. Cheng Yiping suddenly opened the car door and walked out without knowing what he thought of. Zhang Ruolan walked out from the window.
He stuck his head out and said, "Hey, what are you going to do?" Cheng Yiping didn't seem to hear her words and walked towards the two big Han brothers.
When Cheng Yiping got out of the car, the two big Han brothers naturally looked towards him. The fat man said, "Brother, is this the person we are waiting for?" The big man had a doubtful look in his eyes, and suddenly saw Zhang Ruolan leaning out of the window of the off-road vehicle.
The big man was overjoyed and said: "It should be!" While speaking, Cheng Yiping had already walked up to them and said with a smile: "What do you call them?" The big man looked at Cheng Yiping carefully for nearly two minutes and said respectfully: "My name is Qian Dabao.
, this is my brother."
The fat man stepped forward and said: "My name is Qian Erbao." Cheng Yiping smiled and said: "Hello!" The Qian brothers said respectfully: "Hello!" The Qian brothers added their honorifics when speaking, and Cheng Yiping said in confusion: "
Have you seen me before?" Qian Dabao said: "We have never had the chance to meet!" Cheng Yiping said: "Then you...?" Qian Erbao said: "We brothers have been waiting for you here for a long time under the orders of our master!"
Cheng Yiping was even more confused: "Who is your master?"
Qian Dabao said: "My master's Dharma name is Wu Se, and he is the abbot of Miaohua Temple. The day before yesterday, we ordered our brothers to go down the mountain. We are here to wait for you and this lady!" Cheng Yiping said: "Are you two monks?" The Qian brothers shook their heads,
Qian Dabao said: "My master said that our brothers are not dead. Although he taught us some self-defense skills, he refused to let our brothers escape into Buddhism." Zhang Ruolan came behind Cheng Yiping at some point and said: "I remember Huaxi
Only Miaohua Mountain and Miaohua Temple are in Inner Mongolia!"
Qian Dabao said: "There are wonderful flowers in Inner Mongolia, and there are wonderful flowers in West China." Zhang Ruolan said: "How did your master know that we were passing by here?" Qian Erbao said proudly: "My master is good at calculation. He said that there will be noble people coming from here in the near future.
Passing by here, let us go down the mountain and wait here to pick up the distinguished person and go up the mountain to talk." Cheng Yiping laughed and said: "I am not a noble person, don't you two get it wrong?" Qian Erbao shook his head and said: "My master won't say that.
Incorrect!"
Qian Dabao looked at Zhang Ruolan and said: "Madam, are you coming from the capital?" Zhang Ruolan was shocked and couldn't help but nodded. Qian Dabao said: "That's right!" Cheng Yiping said with a smile: "It turns out that the noble person your master mentioned is her.
Let her go up the mountain with you, I won't go." Seeing that Cheng Yiping was unwilling to go up the mountain, Qian Erbao said: "No, the noble person the master mentioned is you!" Qian Dabao said: "Noble man, the master said that I have something to entrust to you.
You, please come with us."
Cheng Yiping had never encountered such a weird thing in his life. He looked at Zhang Ruolan and said, "Why don't you go with them?" Zhang Ruolan also didn't encounter such a weird thing, and he wanted to understand it, so he decided to do it now.
nodded.
Cheng Yiping asked: "How far is Miaohua Temple from here?" Qian Dabao said: "It takes about an hour to go up the mountain from here!" Cheng Yiping said: "You two can lead the way!" Qian Dabao said: "Please, you two.
Follow me." Turning around and walking up the stone steps up the mountain from the highway, Zhang Ruolan said: "My car..." Qian Erbao said: "You two nobles, just go up the mountain, I will stay here to protect you!" Zhang Ruolan said:
"Sorry to trouble you!" Qian Erbao grinned: "My master said that it is my blessing to serve you!"
Zhang Ruolan closed the car door and saw that Cheng Yiping and Qian Dabao had gone away. She smiled and said: "Er Bao, what else did your master say?" Qian Erbao said: "My master said you..." Suddenly he covered his mouth with his hand.
Zhang Ruolan saw that he covered his mouth and smiled and said: "Can't you say it?" Qian Erbao let go of his hand and said: "You go ask my master?" Zhang Ruolan knew that eminent monks in Buddhism who were well versed in Buddhism could predict the future. From today on,
Judging from what I encountered, it is very likely that I met an enlightened monk.
The Qian brothers said that Cheng Yiping was a nobleman. What kind of nobleman was he? The deputy secretary of the county party committee was also a nobleman. But Qian Dabao could tell that he was from the capital. How to explain this? He threw the car keys to Qian Erbao and said with a smile: "Erbao
, can you get into the car?" Qian Erbao shook his head and said: "No!" Zhang Ruolan did not force himself, lowered his head and hurried in the direction of Cheng Yiping going up the mountain.
Looking up from below, the winding stone steps extend upward around the mountain, and the end seems to have entered the white clouds. Cheng Yiping and the others have met many pilgrims coming down, including middle-aged people with big bellies hugging young girls, and couples of lovers.
, Cheng Yiping already knew that this mountain was called Miaohua Mountain, but he had never been there before and didn't know that there was a Miaohua Temple on the top of the mountain. The place where he and Zhang Ruolan parked just now was on the mountain behind Miaohua Temple, and most of the pilgrims came from the front mountain.
The mountain road is sometimes dangerous and sometimes gentle. The bluestone steps have been worn away by the soles of countless pilgrims in the past dynasties. They appear very smooth. If you are not careful, there is a danger of slipping. Cheng Yiping stopped and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
, turned around and looked around. There was no end in sight to the continuous mountain peaks. It was the early summer season, and the mountains were covered with pine forests. The mountains were covered with green.
In the distance are Lion Peak and Fairy Peak. Under the sun, wisps of white clouds and mist are rising and elegant. Through the mist, you can vaguely see the lion's head thrust into the sky, swaying in the white mist, seeming to be hidden, appearing, moving and still.
.The Fairy Peak surrounded by clouds and mist looks like a girl dancing, as if she is going to ride on the wind. A bright light flashes, followed by a "stuck" sound. Cheng Yiping does not need to look back, he has already guessed that Zhang Ruolan is taking pictures.
Several people climbed up the stairs, looking at the stone slabs polished smooth by the soles of pilgrims. Cheng Yiping thought to himself: "In the officialdom, after many years, will I be as smooth as the stone steps under my feet?"
Qian Dabao's voice rang in his ears: "You two nobles must be tired. We will be here soon. In front is the mountain gate." Sure enough, we have already seen the mountain gate of Miaohua Mountain. The mountain gate is a three-hole arch with spectacular red walls and green tiles. The middle arch is
On the lintel are written three characters "Miaohua Temple". On the side of the protective wall built along the undulating hills are pictures of the Buddha Sakyamuni sacrificing himself to save others and saving all sentient beings in his previous life.
Cheng Yiping looked at them all the way, including cutting meat to feed the eagle, throwing himself into the hungry tiger, cutting off the head to thank the sky, breaking the bones to extract the marrow, picking up the body with a thousand lanterns, picking out the eyes to give alms, peeling off the skin to write scriptures, stabbing the heart and determination, burning the body to offer to the Buddha, and pricking the blood.
Sprinkled on the ground, Cheng Yiping said: "I have heard that if an eminent Buddhist monk wants to achieve enlightenment, he must uphold the Mahayana precepts, which are called ten forbearances. Is that true?" Zhang Ruolan looked at him in surprise, and Qian Dabao said: "Exactly. Mahayana.
The precepts focus on sacrificing oneself to save others, which means that in order to make offerings to the Buddhas and save all sentient beings, one may even sacrifice one's own life, but it is not really necessary to do these ten things."
Entering the mountain gate is a small square, and there are 108 stone steps to the north of the square. After finally climbing the stone steps, Cheng Yiping was out of breath. Zhang Ruolan and Qian Dabao seemed to be fine.
Today is not a holiday, but there are still many people who come to burn incense and worship Buddha. Cheng Yiping and Zhang Ruolan were about to enter the main hall, Qian Dabao pointed to the side hall and said: "You two, please go this way!" Cheng Yiping said: "I want to
Let's go in first and have a look. Is it convenient?" Qian Dabao said with a smile: "No problem." Cheng Yiping smiled and Zhang Ruolan followed the pilgrims into the main hall.
In the main hall, incense smoke filled the air. Buddha Sakyamuni sat on a lotus platform, kindly overlooking all the living beings at his feet. On both sides of the Buddha were statues of his enlightened disciples. The deacons and monks stood aside, and the faithful men and women only had to pray to the people in front of the altar table.
By putting three yuan of alms in the cage, you can receive three sticks of incense from the monks, then light it on the candlestick and insert the huge incense burner to worship, in order to seek the blessing of the Buddha.
Cheng Yiping does not believe in Buddhism, nor does he believe that he can get good luck by praying like this. Looking at the main hall where the incense is flowing, there are quite a lot of people waiting to offer incense. Looking at them, Cheng Yiping couldn't help but think that people probably held all kinds of wishes.
There may be people who come to worship Buddha for various purposes, including those who want to be promoted, those who want to get rich, those who want to cure diseases and live longer, those who want a happy marriage, or even those who want to avenge personal grudges. If you rely on the holy Buddha to achieve selfish goals, will the Buddha agree?
?Thinking of this, Cheng Yiping couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Ruolan looked at him puzzled and asked: "Why are you laughing?" Cheng Yiping said: "Look carefully at the Buddha's wise eyes. He is smiling. It means a lot!" Zhang Ruolan threw three yuan of alms into the cage and turned his head.
"Do you want to burn some incense?" Cheng Yiping shook his head. Zhang Ruolan said, "Worshiping Buddha does not necessarily require asking for something. Worshiping Buddha is a state, a state of soul purification." Cheng Yiping smiled and said
No reply.
Zhang Ruolan took three sticks of incense from the monk, lit them on the candlestick, inserted them respectfully into the huge incense burner, clasped his hands together, silently recited something in his mouth, and bowed down respectfully.
When Cheng Yiping watched Zhang Ruolan kneel down and worship, Qian Dabao hurriedly walked in, looked around, walked towards Cheng Yiping, and when he came closer, Qian Dabao said: "Your Excellency, my master has invited you!" At this time, Zhang Ruolan had already paid his respects.
After finishing, Cheng Yiping said: "Let's go!" The two of them followed Qian Dabao into the side hall, walked around and around to the backyard, and stood in front of a Buddhist temple. When Qian Dabao was about to knock on the door, the door of the Buddhist temple creaked.
"The door opens.
A skinny old monk came out, with white eyebrows, white beard, and a snow-white monk's robe. Qian Dabao said: "Two noble men, this is the master." Looking at Cheng Yiping, the white-browed monk put his hands together and said: "It's a shame to have a distinguished guest here.
Welcome from afar, please forgive me!" Cheng Yiping said: "Master, you are too polite! I wonder why you invited me up the mountain?"
