Chapter 559 Jishan Temple

Xishan is a mountain beside the Xihe River more than ten miles outside Chongqing.

The mountains are steep.

The mountains are densely forested.

Just the top of the mountain...

Li Chenan was standing on the top of the mountain.

It has no summit.

Its top seems to have been cut by a sword, and it is a huge platform.

There are many peach trees growing on the platform, but most of them are still green grass.

There are many wild flowers blooming on the grass. Standing here, you can almost overlook the whole city of Chongqing.

The Jishan Temple is on the northernmost side of this platform.

There are also several peach trees on the left and right sides of the temple.

Behind the temple is a bottomless cliff!

The temple is not big, the front temple and the back yard only cover an area of ​​two acres.

Li Chenan stood in front of this temple.

On his shoulder was Zhongli Ruohua.

Beside him is Zhong Liyou.

Behind him were Zhongli Ruoshui, Xiao Baozi and Ning Chuchu, three pretty girls.

Of course, a little far away from him are the two swords of Mu Shandao and Xiao Wu.

A little farther away, there are several hundreds of Zhongli's family generals brought by Yuan Su.

"This is Jishan Temple,"

Zhong Liyou pointed to this temple, and said: "When this Jishan Temple was built, it was the craftsman hired by Zhongli Mansion. He wanted to build this temple bigger, but He Xishan said that it was a temporary place after all. Ju, no need."

Li Chenan looked at the closed temple gate and asked, "Uncle was already in Shuzhou at that time?"

Zhongli You nodded: "That's when... the spring of the fourth year of Zhaohua, Zhongli Mansion began to manage Shuzhou."

"The peach trees on the west mountain, including the peach grove from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, were all planted at that time."

Li Chenan looked at those budding peach trees, and asked again:

"Uncle, do you often come to Jishan Temple?"

"In the past three years, I would come up occasionally."

"Three years ago, He Xishan brought a child with him, and Zhongli Mansion sent two wet nurses and three maidservants to come up... This is what the mother ordered." "At that time, we didn't know that the child would be the eldest son of the emperor. The illegitimate son of a nobleman."

"Just one day three years later, the two nannies and three maidservants also returned to Zhongli Garden, saying that the monk said that they don't need to stay in the temple anymore."

"When I came up again, I didn't see that child again. He Xishan said that that child should not stay in this Jishan Temple, because his karma is not finished."

Li Chenan thought for a moment, then asked, "What are the characteristics of that child?"

Zhong Liyou shook his head: "He was born fair and cute, and although he was only three years old, he was smart. I remember that he could memorize the 260-character "Prajna Heart Sutra" at that time."

A three-year-old child who can read and memorize the "Prajna Heart Sutra" is indeed smart.

He Xishan sent the child out at that time... Usually it is extremely difficult for a person to retain the memory before the age of five after a person grows up.

He did this because he didn't want the child to remember this place, or this past event.

Where would he send that child?
He used to be the great monk of Donglin Temple in Yue Kingdom...

He has no relatives in Ning country!

His greatest possibility is to send the child to Yue Kingdom and give it to Donglin Temple for adoption.

In this way, the child's identity can not be exposed, and the child's safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

The news from Yue has not come back yet.

Li Chen'an didn't know that there was a battle between the two eastern and western monasteries in the Yue Kingdom. Under the leadership of the great monk Jijue, the Donglin monastery almost wiped out the Xilin monastery.

The Eastern and Western Buddhist monasteries have now been unified and renamed Zen Buddhism.

Wen Zhuyu knew about this, but Wen Zhuyu didn't tell Li Chenan.

In the Jade Buddha Temple in Kyoto, Wen Zhuyu gave Master Pukong an idea. He said, you can send someone to invite He Xishan to visit the Yue Kingdom, and the troubles in the Yue Kingdom can be solved.

This is the reason why He Xishan is not in Jishan Temple.

"Where are the guardsmen?"

Zhong Liyou turned around and pointed to the south: "It's in Nanshan."

Li Chenan turned his head to look, and there was no mountain in the misty rain, so it was extremely far away.

He originally thought that the guards would be in Xishan, but he didn't expect to be in Nanshan.

This made him a little relieved, but a little puzzled:

"Always in Nanshan?"

"Yes, that side is more suitable for the training of the guards. In addition... the Shengu Pass in Nanshan is Huihe. The guards are placed in Nanshan to prevent Huihe from knocking on the pass."

"There are still many chieftains in the mountains in the southwest, and it is also to prevent chieftains from rebelling."

Li Chen'an nodded, no matter what, Mrs. Fan's action of guarding the southwest gate for Ningguo is a great merit.

He put down Zhongli Ruohua who was riding on his neck, walked to the two dark gates of Jishan Temple, and pushed the gate open.

On a cloudy and rainy day, the light inside the door was very dark. Li Chenan waited for a while to let his eyes get used to the light, and then he could clearly see that a Wei Tuo was enshrined in this temple.

Wei Tuo is the protector of the Buddha.

Usually he stands behind the Maitreya Buddha statue, facing the Daxiong Hall, protecting the Dharma and helping monks who become monks.

But there is no Daxiong Palace here.

This Wei Tuo is facing the door.

The pestle in his hand is also on the ground, which means that this is a small temple, where monks who refuse to travel can eat and live for free.

Li Chenan walked in and stood in front of the statue of Wei Tuo Buddha.

He raised his eyes to look, stretched out his hand to touch the tribute platform in front of the Buddha statue, and rubbed it with his fingertips. The dust was thick, and it was true that no one had cleaned it for a while.

Bypassing the Wei Tuo Buddha statue, we came to the back door of the temple.

The back door is open.

He walked over, stepped over the threshold, and saw a small backyard.

This place should be He Xishan's residence.

He walked around the corridor in the backyard, returned to the back door, thought for a while and went straight through the patio to the main house.

Pushing open the door of the main house, there was a faint musty smell inside.

The house is very simple.

A table, four stools and a bed.

The rest is nothing.

There was a window on the opposite wall, and outside the window came the faint sound of the stream below the cliff.

He stood in this room for a while, then turned around and walked out again, out of the small courtyard, out of the main temple, and outside the temple gate, standing in the drizzle.

"Let's go, let's go back and come up after He Xishan comes."

Zhongli Ruohua jumped up, hung on Li Chenan's neck again, turned over, and rode on Li Chenan's shoulder.

Li Chenan didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

After all, she is my sister-in-law.

After all, this sister-in-law is so small and so cute.

But Zhongliyou looked at Zhongliruohua twice more, it's just that Li Chenan carried Zhongliruohua up the mountain like this, Li Chenan's face didn't look strange, he couldn't open his mouth after all.

Xiao Baozi glared at Zhongli Ruohua, this little girl... Li Chenan rides a donkey, she rides Li Chenan... What is this?

Zhongli Ruoshui also felt strange, and became more and more worried about his own sister.

"Brother-in-law,"

"Ok?"

"How about I take you to visit Chongqing City in the afternoon?"

"Let me tell you, the sugar glutinous rice cakes in Chongqing City are delicious! By the way, the Shu opera performed by the troupe of Shuijingtai is also delicious!"

Zhongli Ruohua didn't care about anyone's eyes at all, she said with great anticipation:
"The water mirror stage is so big, you have to go early, if you are late, you can only sit in the back. You can't see the stage from the back, and you can't hear what they are singing!"

Li Chenan smiled slightly, thought for a while, "Okay, then let's go to the Shuijing Stage to listen to a play in the afternoon!"

"Okay, let's go!"

"No, go wherever you want!"

Zhong Liruohua curled his lips, and said reluctantly: "Then let's go to a restaurant after watching the play?"

"What restaurant is delicious?"

"Half Moon Building!"
