The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 95 Yanfu Temple

"Your Majesty, Jia Sidao's control over the navy is relatively weak. Li Beiyang and Jia Sidao's party have always been at odds with each other. Sixty-seven out of ten are Li Beiyang's students, classmates or friends. Jia Sidao failed in the end, so he had to turn to Li Zengbo, the coastal naval commander. I heard from Master Li when I was in Yangzhou that this Li Beiyang is upright. He is not sociable, has a slightly eccentric temperament, is proficient in water warfare, and always thinks about attacking the Kingdom of Jin and Mongolia from the sea, so as to surpass the military exploits of his ancestors. policy, and Jia Sidao didn't think about making progress after taking power, which made Li Beiyang gradually disheartened. After he joined the Ministry of War, he also had contact with Li Beiyang, but Li Beiyang always seemed to give people a kind of rejection. The feeling of thousands of miles away." On the way back to the palace, Lu Xiufu introduced it to me.

Wen Tianxiang said: "From this point of view, Li Beiyang is the key. If he is willing to cooperate, it will be relatively easy for the navy to merge and rectify."

I smiled: "Well, this is not difficult. Li Beiyang and Li Tingzhi have some similarities. They both want to be ministers of ZTE. If I can let them realize their ambitions, they will naturally be willing to follow me."

Lu Xiufu recalled the scene when I met Li Tingzhi that day, and said: "It seems that Your Majesty has a plan in mind."

In April in the south of the Yangtze River, a hundred flowers are blooming, willow trees are in shade, flowers are red and grass is green everywhere, just when the grass is growing and the warbler is flying.

The spring in the West Lake is even more elegant and beautiful. The clear lake water, the upside-down willows, and the occasional soft breeze, if you look far away, together with the looming mountain peaks, together constitute a beautiful painting. .

People in it seem to be slowly integrated into the painting, becoming the finishing touch of the painting.

"Brother, it's rare that the weather is sunny today, let's go to Yanfu Temple in the north." Fang Ling said in a good mood.

I was a little stunned and said, "Yanfu Temple? It's a temple. I've never heard of it. What's so special about it?"

Fang Ling smiled and said: "I haven't been there either, but I just heard people say that recently a monk came to the monastery with excellent medical skills, and he treated the neighbors for free. The mountain peaks are steep and straight, and there are few tourists, so it looks quiet and peaceful. Let's go to the ancient places when the weather is good."

"Alright then, Ling'er, let's go to Yanfu Temple."

Yuan Ji and Xiao Qi have been in Lin'an for a long time, but they have never been to Yanfu Temple.The four of us headed north all the way and entered the mountains. The population began to decrease, and the mountain road became rough. The mountains on both sides of the road were green and the trees were denser. It was a good place to go for a walk.

Inadvertently, a small temple suddenly appeared in front of me, it really is an ancient temple hidden in the mountains.

"Brother, look, here, this temple is much smaller than Lingyin Temple."

"It doesn't matter how high the mountain is, if there are immortals, it will be famous. This temple is the same. It doesn't matter how big it is, as long as there is a guru inside, it will be spiritual."

"How can there be a guru in such a small temple?"

"Maybe, Ling'er, you can see that there are quite a few people in front of the temple gate. The terrain here is so remote, but there are so many good men and women, which is enough to show that this temple is extraordinary."

There is only one main hall in Yanfu Temple, and there are side halls on the left and right. Behind the main hall is the resting place for monks.Although the temple is not big, it is also antique and looks old.

Entering the temple, there is only smoke, and a huge iron cauldron in front of the main hall is filled with several lighted incense candles. After offering the incense candle oil, everyone enters the main hall to kneel down and pray to the Buddha.It is said that it is the main hall, but its area is not too big, it is not as good as the side hall of Lingyin Temple.

Fang Ling devoutly lit three incense candles, inserted them into the cauldron, and then led me and Yuan Ji Xiaoqi into the front hall.

Like other temples, the main hall of Yanfu Temple is also called Daxiong Hall.

The Daxiong Hall is the core building of the entire temple, and it is also the place where monks concentrate on practicing day and night.The statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, the master, is enshrined in the Daxiong Hall. Daxiong is the Buddha's virtue name.The big one means to contain everything; the male one means to subdue demons.Because Sakyamuni Buddha possesses the wisdom of enlightenment and can dominate the world, so the Buddha's disciples honor him as Daxiong.

Enshrined in the middle is a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha sitting in lotus position. The left hand of the Buddha statue is placed horizontally on the left foot, and the fingers of the right hand are placed in a circle called "Dharma Seal". .The entire Buddha statue is only seven or eight meters high even with its base, which is completely incomparable with the tens of meters high Buddha statue in the main hall of Lingyin Temple.No matter how big or small the Buddha statue is, it also looks solemn and solemn. Sakyamuni's insightful eyes saw that the world is all in his eyes.

On the left side of the main hall is a small pavilion. From the plaque, it can be seen that it is a place specially for lay people to practice, and on the right is the Hall of Pharmacists.Although the Hall of Pharmacists is small, the flow of people is quite large.The people who went in held all kinds of items in their hands, including fresh vegetables and cloth spun by themselves. When they came out, everyone had smiles on their faces and paper bags of different sizes in their hands.When approaching, the smell of traditional Chinese medicine rushed to the face. It seems that this is the place where the monk who hangs the order hangs the pot to help the world.

"Thank you Master Lianzhen. After taking the medicine last time, my father's illness has improved a lot. These are some fresh vegetables. Master, you must accept them." A middle-aged man bowed.

"Chen San, the poor monk has put up the order so far, and you are considered close neighbors. Healing diseases and saving lives is a matter of little effort, so why worry about it? My Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You don't have to be so polite."

The man named Chen San said: "Master Lianzhen, you are too polite. Most of the folks near us are poor. Since the spring of this year, there has been too much rain and the harvest is not good. The elderly and children in the family are sick and have to go to the city. Looking for a doctor here, firstly, the journey is a little longer, and secondly, it costs more money, no, since Master you came, the villagers all came to Yanfu Temple to see a doctor, and everyone said that you are a living Bodhisattva."

"Yes, Master Lianzhen, the people in several nearby villages are very grateful to you."

"That's right, the last time Uncle Zhang from our village came here to see a doctor, the master not only didn't take any money, but also gave Uncle Zhang a coin to buy medicine in the city."

"Is that so, the lonely old man, Uncle Zhang?"

"Isn't it him? If it weren't for the master's help, how could Uncle Zhang's illness be cured?"

"Amitabha." Master Lianzhen raised his hands together and said, "Fellow folks, the poor monk's coming here is a predestined relationship with you. Since there is a predestined relationship, you don't need to see the outside world. If you have any pain or discomfort in the future, just come here."

"This master is really the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, a good man." Fang Ling said after seeing a group of fellow villagers walk away.

"Amitabha, female benefactor, practicing medicine to save people is also one of the homework of monks." Lian Zhen said together.

"Master cures diseases and saves people, saves all living beings, and does not take any money. He is a model of a monk. Saving people's lives is far better than reading a hundred volumes of scriptures. Master's merits are immeasurable." I walked up to the monk Lianzhen and praised him.

"The benefactor is born in person, doesn't he seem to be from a neighboring village?"

"Well, no."

Lianzhen looked at me carefully, and said: "The benefactor has a good face and is quite intelligent. This girl is also full of aura. You two are not ordinary people at first sight. The poor monk is abrupt. How dare you ask where the benefactor comes from?"

I smiled: "Master, we come from where we should come from."

Lian Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Amitabha, the almsgiver's words are reasonable, but the poor monk is just pretending."

"Master, you don't need to be humble. We are just tourists. We are very moved to see the master treating people's diseases, so we take the liberty to bother."

"Acquaintance is fate, how can you presumptuously say it?"

"Hehe, it's a trick this time."

"The benefactor's witty words of meditation, the poor monk's chain is really polite."

I also saluted and said: "The foundation of Buddhism is to save all living beings, not to be familiar with hundreds of scriptures. The behavior of the master is to seek the foundation, and I admire it."

Lianzhen said: "The benefactor seems to have a predestined relationship with my Buddha. Dare I ask the benefactor's name?"

"My surname is Huyan, and my name is Donghai."

"It turned out to be the benefactor Huyan. The benefactor, the poor monk has been a monk since he was a child. In addition to intensively studying Buddhism, he also has a little knowledge of medicine and acquaintance. Now that the benefactor looks good, he talks a lot of witty words. I don't know if the benefactor minds. Let Lianzhen Make a face for you?"

I said happily in my heart, what I was wearing was a mask, can this also be used for fortune-telling?

"Master, please speak."
