Chen Qingshan and Anan entered Yifang together. The streets in this square were quaint and extended to the canal. It should be regarded as a relatively large market on Chang'an Street. Merchants on both sides pulled out strings of lanterns. Among the quaint streets,
It extends far up.
There were a lot of people at the lantern festival, so Chen Qingshan bought some food. Ah Nan liked snacks, so Chen Qingshan bought glutinous rice dumplings and hawthorn cakes, but Ah Nan ate little, and most of them went into Chen Qingshan's stomach.
The dumplings are soft and glutinous, with a faint rice aroma and a very elegant sweetness. Both the taste and texture complement the hawthorn cake with its natural sourness.
Chen Qingshan took the last piece of glutinous rice dumpling into his mouth with a bamboo stick with satisfaction. He felt that the food in Chang'an was indeed more delicious than the ones in other places. A Nan took out a handkerchief from nowhere and wiped it carefully from Chen Qingshan's mouth.
Tangshuang, Chen Qingshan is a little uncomfortable. He is a man, so there is no reason to be taken care of by a girl like this. Although he thinks so, he feels sweet in his heart.
It's sweeter than glutinous rice dumplings, but it also has the natural greenness of hawthorn cake, which is probably what it tastes like when you're just starting to have a romantic interest.
The two also answered a few riddles on the lanterns, half of which were right and half of which were wrong. Half of the right answers were from A'anan and the other half were from Chen Qingshan.
A good player.
A'Nan comes from an aristocratic family and is good at writing and splitting characters, so it is not difficult for him to answer riddles. The characters that Chen Qingshan recognizes are some simple principles for walking in the world. They are not that complicated and not too many, but they are just enough.
When they reached the end of the street, there were willow trees on both sides of the canal, which had already sprouted buds. The two sat on a stone bench and looked at the flowing water of the canal. Anan rested his head on Chen Qingshan's shoulder, his brows spread, and the river water
The sunshine fell on A Nan's face, causing a faint smile.
The two cuddled together, like most lovers in this world, just sitting quietly, listening to each other's heartbeat, and becoming familiar with each other's scent. The more familiar they were, the more at ease they felt, as if they could sit on this shore for a long time and forget about the world.
Changes, and then the sea is gone.
At dusk, thousands of lanterns were lit on the Mingyue Tower, making the tallest building in Chang'an look magnificent like a fairy pavilion. Many people were gathering there.
Go to the Moonlight Dharma Assembly in front of Mingyue Tower, which is co-hosted by Si Tianjian and Dabei Temple. Tonight's Dharma assembly will have great virtues from Dabei Temple chanting sutras all night long, praying for the people of Chang'an, and dispelling karma for people.
The second month of Chang'an will also come to the Mingyue Tower to bless the lovers in Chang'an. During the Moonlight Dharma Assembly, it will drop a moonlight. It is said that the lovers blessed by the moonlight will
For life, never be separated.
Chen Qingshan and Anan followed the flow of people and arrived in front of the Mingyue Tower. People had gathered here. Most of them were similar in age to Chen Qingshan and Anan. They were lovers. Most of them hoped to become the one blessed by the moonlight.
people.
As more and more people gathered, it was almost time for the daylight to begin, and the Yuehua Dharma Assembly was about to begin. Two people came from the sky, one tall in black clothes, and the other in a cassock with a tin staff.
The people who came were the Lord of the Sitian Prison and the abbot of the Dabei Temple, the old monk Qingxu. As the two arrived, there were bursts of Sanskrit sounds, and auspicious lights rose from the side of the Mingyue Tower. It was like an immortal fluttering his sleeves and raining down colorful sky lights, which lasted for a long time.
Not scattered.
The people below bowed deeply to the two of them. This bow was a sign of respect from the bottom of their hearts.
Needless to say, Dabei Temple has the belief of helping the world and saving people. Most of them don’t mind suffering for these sentient beings. That year there was a severe drought in the south. Qingxu led three thousand monks from Dabei Temple to Kunlun Snow Mountain to disperse.
He went to practice cultivation, sat there for three days, and cut meat as a sacrifice to the sacred mountain Kunlun. After that, the heavy snow melted and turned into inexhaustible water, which relieved the drought in the south of the Tang Dynasty.
After the three thousand monks came back, most of them suffered a great decline in cultivation, and even half of them passed away within three years. Even if they were pure and empty, they would not have the opportunity to enter the Eight Realms. Many people in the south were going to die, but because of the monks of Dabei Temple, they survived
, so this cause and effect is borne by the monks of Dabei Temple.
Three thousand monks entered Kunlun. People in the Tang Dynasty all remembered that the Great Compassion Temple was only a place of great mercy and compassion. It was only compassionate because it could not see the suffering of the world.
There are no city walls in Chang'an City, but that does not mean that there are no people in the city. The Lord of Si Tianjian is the only gatekeeper of Chang'an City. He is sitting here in the second month of Chang'an to guard the gate of Chang'an and protect Chang'an.
It not only maintains the peace of the city, but also maintains the operation of the star orbit of Chang'an City.
If there is a battle at the border, he will be the first to arrive, and his achievements are already immeasurable.
Therefore, the two of them deserved this bow.
The Lord of Si Tianjian looked down with a smile, feeling that there were more lovers gathering in front of Mingyue Tower this year than in previous years. This meant that Chang'an City was becoming more peaceful, and if Chang'an City was peaceful, the world would naturally be peaceful.
It's just peaceful, so that's a good thing.
Master Si Tianjian and Master Qingxu walked step by step to the Mingyue Tower.
The Sanskrit sounds gradually fade away, but the colorful brilliance on the side of the Mingyue Tower remains.
Master Qingxu tapped the nine-ring tin staff from the top of the building, and a dark green halo appeared from the top of the Mingyue Tower, spreading to all directions and replacing the skylight. A spiritual rain fell from the sky, falling in strands on the people below.
.
The spiritual rain fell all over his body and did not wet his clothes. Instead, it fell directly through the clothes and onto his skin. Chen Qingshan felt a cool feeling emerge from his heart.
"It's a way of overcoming adversity with great mercy, I heard my grandfather say it." A Nan felt a drop of spiritual rain on his fingertips.
"Master Qingxu's method?" Chen Qingshan asked. When he heard the name of this method, he felt that it was not simple.
"As its name suggests, it is a method of compassion for heaven and humanity. If you practice it to the deepest level, you can become a Buddha." Anan replied.
Ah Nan thought for a while, then corrected: "It's not so much a Dharma as it is a grand wish. The Buddha believes that there is a certain amount of suffering in this world. The more the Buddha suffers, the less karma the people in this world will have.
And monks who practice this method take the initiative to accept this suffering, so that all sentient beings will suffer less."
Anan looked at Monk Qingxu on Mingyue Tower with a solemn expression.
This spiritual rain eliminated some karma for the people downstairs in Mingyue, and this karma was attributed to Qingxu Zhuzhu. This karma would bring pain, so he used this karma to practice Buddhism. This is actively accepting karma.
.
For the young people below, if they have less karma, they will have less troubles, which is conducive to their practice.
The spiritual rain filled the sky, and boys and girls took a bath below to relieve their karma and calm their hearts. The young people below the Mingyue Tower, both male and female, felt the blessings of Abbot Qingxu and worshiped again with arms folded.
"Come!" At this time, the Lord of Si Tianjian stretched out his hand and pulled upward, and the Youying hanging high outside Chang'an City seemed to be pulled by an invisible rope, and then floated over until it reached the top of Mingyue Tower.
Slowly falling, everyone is bathed in the moonlight. If they are on the roof of Mingyue Tower at this time, they can touch the second moon of Chang'an with their tentacles.
The candle in Chen Qingshan's sea of consciousness was a little brighter, as if he was calling for You Ying. Tian Di Kuan in the Sword Palace let out a cold snort, and the candle suppressed the call.
