Chapter 66 Guangji Buddhist Temple Buddha’s Matchmaking
Sweat, this chapter is two hours late... "Yes, the Taoist priest can't help it, but the bald donkey must have a solution!"
Hearing this, Ping'er quickly waved her little hands and said, "Young Master, no, the people in the temple are all great masters. If you call them that, the Buddha will be angry and blame you!"
Chang Xiao waved his hands and said: "Buddha is so busy, how can he have time to care about such a trivial matter of mine? If I scold his monk and he refuses to let me go, then he is not a Buddha, but a devil. I am a compassionate Buddha."
Well, he won’t care!"
At this time, there were many Buddhist believers, and many girls Ping'er's age followed the older ones to worship Buddhism devoutly. What's more, Mrs. Chang was also a Buddhist and a lay practitioner at home, so Ping'er naturally received a lot of influence.
So when Ping'er encountered such a supernatural thing, she immediately thought of Buddhism, but Chang Xiao didn't believe it, so she never thought of looking for the bald donkey. Instead, she turned her energy to the Taoist priest.
Now that he had a goal, Chang Xiao felt a little relieved. Thinking that Buddhism has been around for such a long time, it is not entirely unfounded. Maybe there is some eminent monk who can help him solve the problem of stupid young people.
Chang Xiao looked at the sky outside. Although it was hazy, the raindrops had not fallen yet, so he made preparations to go to the temple. He was really anxious, and when he thought of something attached to his body, it was like a maggot had entered his body.
Usually, the pain in the diaphragm is extremely severe. He doesn't want to stay in this state for a moment longer.
Ping'er looked at the sky and persuaded: "Sir, it's so late, the temple gates are closed, and the monks and masters have finished their evening classes and rested. I'm afraid you won't even be able to get in!"
Chang Xiao thought for a while, and it was the same reason. People in this era had less nightlife and went to bed early. What's more, those monks had pure six senses. If you think about it, the problem of nightlife is not less, but no problem at all. You can't drink alcohol.
You can't eat meat, let alone women, and you can't even think about it. Chang Xiao feels sorry for the boring life of these monks!
Chang Xiao lay back on the rocking chair, shook it and said, "Ping'er, go and ask which temple is the most famous, has the most incense, and is the most efficacious. By the way, it has to be old."
Ping'er smiled and said: "Young master, you don't have to ask others. Ping'er already knows that there are Lingguang Temple, Fayuan Temple, Guangji Temple, Tantuo Temple, etc. near the capital, and there are many more! These are what the old lady told me.
Mine, when I left Wufeng County, the old lady specially asked me to fulfill her vows on her behalf when I arrived in the capital. The old man left in a hurry, and many temple ladies did not have time to fulfill their wishes. Even though I made the wishes but never returned them, the old lady's heart has always been
It’s not very safe.”
Hearing what Ping'er said, Chang Xiao remembered that Mrs. Chang believed in Buddhism and specially donated and built a temple when she was in Wufeng County. There were more than 20 monks in the temple who were raised by the old lady, so she said: "Where
Which temple is older and has more eminent monks?"
"Guangji Temple is a first-class place to worship Buddha. When I was in Wufeng County, the old lady just said this when she had nothing to do. In Wufeng County, she often complained that there were no Buddhist temples around and no eminent monks could be found to teach the Dharma."
Chang Xiao was stunned for a moment, but he had heard of Guangji Temple. Not only had he heard about it, he had also visited it when he went to Beijing in his previous life. He just took a casual stroll and didn't see any eminent monks.
Talking about eminent monks, even monks have never seen one, but I have seen many bald businessmen in the market. Chang Xiao didn’t really believe in this place at first, but then I thought about it, maybe the times are different, and the monks in this temple are also different. After all,
In his previous life, he didn't know any other magical methods of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth. Even if he gained nothing from this trip, it could still be regarded as a return trip to an old place. After a tour to relax his mind, he clapped his hands and said: "Okay, let's go straight to the place tomorrow."
Guangji Temple!”
"The young master has to take a bath tonight and eat fast tomorrow morning." Ping'er was very happy when she heard that she was going to a Buddhist temple. In this era, there were no such things as places of interest and historical sites. Going to worship Buddha was sometimes similar to going to the market in the spring.
No matter what, Ping'er is not old after all, and she has reached the age where she can run wild, so she is naturally willing to go out and have a look. It is much better than being bored in the house.
When Chang Xiao heard that it was Guangji Temple, he lost much respect. He was always too influenced by the bald businessmen of later generations. He didn't even bother to bathe and eat vegetarian food. He waved his hands casually and said, "I don't smell much. I smell smoke."
Apart from those Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, there is no need to be vegetarians. If a person who kills living things every day is a vegetarian every day, does the Buddha bless him? Okay, okay, go to bed quickly, we will set off early tomorrow morning."
Ping'er wanted to say more, but was kicked out by Chang Xiao.
Early the next morning, when the sun had not yet appeared, and there was still starlight above the head, with only a ray of white fish in the sky, Chang Xiao was already on the road with bottles of Changfu Changyou and Changlu. Of course Wang Gui and Manager Lin were on their way.
He also followed with a few people.
Guangji Temple is located in the capital city. In Chang Xiao's previous life, the Geological Museum was opposite Guangji Temple. Chang Xiao was deeply impressed at first. However, Chang Xiao was not very familiar with the roads in Beijing. He always took a taxi to get there. He had no idea how to get there.
Of course, even if he knew it, it would still be a black eye in this era.
Guangji Temple is a very famous ancient temple. It was built in the late Song Dynasty and was later destroyed in the wars in the late Yuan Dynasty. During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, when villagers farmed the land, they dug out Buddhist statues, offerings, stone turtles and other objects.
It is known that this is the ruins of an ancient temple. In the early years of Tianshun, Shanxi monks Pu Hui, Yuan Hong and other masters traveled here to raise funds and absorb donations to rebuild the temple on the abandoned site. In the second year of Chenghua, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict and named it "
"Hongci Guangji Temple".
Although it suffered a disaster, this Buddhist temple was reborn from the ashes. After reconstruction, it became more solemn and more famous.
It's really not too far from Chang Xiao's residence. The carriage took Chang Xiao and Ping'er there in half an hour.
At this time, the sky was just getting brighter. Chang Xiao thought that they were the earliest to arrive, and if not the earliest, they should be at the front. But when they got here, Chang Xiao realized that they were late.
The entrance of Guangji Temple is already filled with devotees, each of them looking solemn or noisy, like a market. Each of these devotees carries a basket of incense and slowly enters the temple.
Chang Xiao and his party had no choice but to line up at the back. From a distance, they could see the tall mountain gate and it was very solemn. The smoke inside the temple was thick, which must have come from burning incense. Chang Xiao could even feel a surging majestic atmosphere.
, there are wisps of golden light blooming in the sky above this temple. Of course, this is just a feeling, and it is impossible to tell whether it is true or false.
Chang Xiao was a little impatient, thinking that if the queue continued like this, it might take half an hour to enter the temple, so he called Chang Fu to buy some food to eat while waiting.
There is actually a market outside the temple, where everything is bought and sold, and snacks are everywhere. It is a vegetarian restaurant specially prepared for believers who come to offer incense.
Chang Xiao felt that he was feeling stuffy while squatting in the car eating, so he walked out of the car, hugged a bowl of steaming wontons, half-crouched on the shaft of the car and looked around to see if there were any eminent monks passing by.
While sipping hot soup, this behavior can be said to be extremely indecent. In the entire city of Beijing, including all the people who can afford a carriage, he is the only one who can pose like this.
That's all.
Even Ping'er was embarrassed. She repeatedly persuaded the young master to go into the car and eat slowly, but Chang smiled but didn't take it seriously. Now he just lives at ease and doesn't pay attention to other people's eyes.
Qiaofu and Chunlai, who were waiting for their young ladies, also arrived at the entrance of Guangji Temple early. They lived a little further than Chang Xiao lived, so although they left home earlier than Chang Xiao, they still had to go to Guangji Temple.
The time was slightly later than that of Chang Xiaoyi Xing.
Jin Yun still looked unhappy in the car. Qiao Fu and Chun Lai couldn't do anything about it. The young lady had to rely on herself to cure her heart problem. All they could do for the young lady was to distract the young lady.
Pay attention, lest the young lady keep thinking about that bastard.
Qiao Fu opened the car curtain along the way and pointed and said this and that. His clever mouth was so sharp that it blistered, but Jin Yun always had a wistful look on his face and was not interested in anything he looked at.
appearance.
Qiao Fu found countless funny words and things along the way to attract Jin Yun's attention, hoping that the young lady would smile and avoid getting sick. Unfortunately, even she did not find these things funny.
Finally, Qiao Fu saw a particularly funny guy, who was obviously dressed in luxurious clothes, but squatted on the shaft of the carriage and ate chaos. His posture was really funny.
Qiao Fu was overjoyed and quickly pulled Jin Yun's sleeve, pointed at the man and said with a smile: "Miss, miss, look, that young man is actually squatting on the shaft of the car to eat..."
At this time, Chang Xiao was holding a Wonton in his mouth. He just happened to raise his head and look over here. Their eyes met. Qiaofu was dumbfounded. His face was completely stiff. He couldn't say the word "wonton". He had a pair of beautiful eyes.
Her big eyes were wide and round, and her red and tender mouth opened into an O shape, and she forgot to close it for a moment.
Jinyun was pulled by Qiaofu and looked boredly at the place pointed by Qianqiansu's finger. At this moment, she happened to see Chang Xiao looking towards them, and Jinyun was also stunned.
Chang Xiao didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, so he subconsciously waved the hand holding the chopsticks, and then the curtain on the opposite side of the car was closed with a swipe!
Chang smiled and scratched his head, muttering something incomprehensible.
Qiao Fu's eyes were wide open now, his heart was pounding, his face was red, he was angry, "How did you meet this bastard here? I swore yesterday that I would drive this guy out of my heart.
Let's go. That's why I persuaded the lady to come here to burn incense to fulfill her vows and to relax her mind. Why did this damn guy come? Did he eavesdrop on the conversation between me and the lady? So he came here to bully the lady? The most annoying thing is that I will
Show this bad guy to the lady..." Qiaofu's mind was filled with random thoughts.
Jin Yun was anxious, "Qiaofu, why did you close the car curtain? It seems that Mr. Chang is outside."
Qiaofu said quickly: "Miss, Mr. Chang is there. You must have read it wrong. It is windy outside and it is a bit cold. It is better to hang the car curtain tightly to avoid the wind!"
Chun Lai did not see Chang Xiao on the other side of the car. Hearing this, he glanced at Jin Yun and thought that Jin Yun was thinking about Chang Xiao so much day and night that she had hallucinations and saw the wrong person, so he said: "Miss
, have you read it wrong? How can such a coincidence happen in the world? If you can meet Mr. Chang here, it really means that the two of you are destined to be together! This is the Buddha who leads the way and connects you..."
Before Chun Lai finished speaking, she felt a pain in her waist. It was Qiao Fu who pinched her through Jin Yun. Chun Lai felt the pain and was about to open her mouth when she saw Qiao Fu showing a ferocious face that he wanted to eat her.
Come, I can't help but be stunned, I have no idea what kind of madness Qiao Fu is going through.
Jin Yun did not think that she had misjudged the person.
Besides, if you saw it wrong, why did the other party wave at them? In Jin Yun’s view, just as Chang Xiao waved, they closed the car curtain. This behavior was very impolite. No matter what Mr. Chang said, he would
The benefactor they sent all the way to the capital should never be treated like this.
Of course, I'm afraid even she herself couldn't tell whether she had something else in mind, but the words from Chun Lai that "if we can meet here, it would be true fate" were Buddha's words to connect people. Jin Yun heard it immediately
My heart went away.
Jinyun insisted on opening the curtain, but Qiaofu couldn't be more stubborn than Jinyun, and finally the curtain was opened again.
Jin Yun looked eagerly in the direction where Chang Xiao was just now, but there was Chang Xiao's shadow there? Even the carriage was gone. There were many pilgrims standing there, and there was no carriage or anything like that.
"Am I really wrong? Yes, yes, how could Mr. Chang eat in such a vulgar way? However, although he is a bit vulgar, he is still very manly." Jin Yun thought with extreme disappointment, even if
She also took the initiative to defend Chang Xiao and beautify and decorate the behavior that she thought was extremely vulgar in the past.
Qiaofu rubbed his eyes vigorously, and he couldn't help but feel that maybe I was dazzled.
