City Marshal

Chu Tian accompanied Xia Qiudi to Haide Temple to worship Buddha, and asked Shu Yunpeng to come to inspect the surrounding environment for half an hour. After all, he is now afraid of being targeted by people and then besieged and killed by the net of heaven and earth. When the time comes, not only himself will die, but he will even be implicated. Xia Qiudi and the big circle brothers.

As soon as Chutian and the others came out of the parking lot, Shu Yunpeng, who had been waiting for a long time, led two cronies to greet him, and said in a low voice: "Young commander, we checked the surrounding vehicles as ordered, and found nothing suspicious, and we also brought heavy weapons with us. Come in!"

Bringing arms into the temple to pay homage, there is only Chutian in ancient and modern times.

Chu Tian burst into a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Master Shu, you did a good job, Ouyang Wuhua actually broke the rules on the road, we don't have to worry about Taiwan's official bottom line, take out all those rocket launchers, submachine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns to play with!" Play!"

Shu Yunpeng lowered his head slightly, and replied with a smile: "Understood!"

Chu Tian stretched out his hands to detect the rain, and said again: "Everyone, go into the temple, so as not to freeze your body outside! Inside the temple, the incense burns and the fire burns to the sky, and even the coldest rainy day will be roasted, and you don't have to follow me all the time. Groups of people are free to visit.”

Shu Yunpeng and others responded together: "Yes!"

Haide Temple is considered to be the top three temples in Taiwan.

It covers an area of ​​more than thousands of acres by the mountains and the sea. It is said that it has a history of 800 years. The incense here is strong, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims. In particular, a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in the temple is praised by believers as Purdue sentient beings, the god of efficaciousness who responds to every request.

Legend has it that the Buddha statue of this town temple was an ancient bluestone Buddha that was rolled out when the tide was low in the South China Sea 800 years ago. Hence the name Hyde Temple.

There is also an eye-catching building in Haide Temple, that is, the Tongtian Pagoda, which is more than ten feet high, is being cast. Its shape is simply a replica of the Tongtian Empire, and the entire pagoda faces the sea and faces the whole temple. There is a faint sunrise in the east. symbol of.

Chu Tian also looked at the Big Buddha with a face full of surprise. He never expected that Haide Temple would have such a huge monster. The donkeys are really going to see the Buddha!"

Chu Tian smiled wryly, this guy really can't spit ivory out of his mouth.

Xia Qiudi looked around, clapped his hands lightly and said, "This is really a holy place for Buddhism!"

This point is not wrong. The magical reputation of Hyde Monastery, coupled with the protection of the government, especially after some good men and women's honest promotion, has finally achieved its eternal reputation.

It is not only a tourist holy place, but also a very famous Buddhist holy place.

A feng shui blessed place that responds to every request.

It is also because there are many pilgrims here, and many places near the temple and even inside have been commercialized. There is a long and narrow alley outside the parking lot where Chutian and the others came out. Although the buildings on both sides are old, they are quite ancient. Not a lot.

Chu Tian glanced casually, and noticed that most of these passers-by were outsiders.

Most of their expressions are pious.

There are dozens of shops on both sides of the alley, and there are some Buddhist tributes and incense candles in them. It is obvious that shrewd merchants specially prepare for those devout Buddhist believers, or they just sell souvenirs or something.

For example, Buddha statues of Sakyamuni, statues of Guanyin Bodhisattva, etc.

Xia Qiudi looked at the shops in the alley, and sighed softly: "The holy land of Buddhism has been defiled by them!"

There was a smile on the corner of Chu Tian's mouth, and he replied lightly: "No, this shows the generosity and kindness of the Buddha. It can accommodate Taoist monks as well as philistine businessmen. At the same time, it also allows these businesses to rely on their own signs to support their families. , indirectly transported countless people!"

Xia Qiudi's body trembled slightly, and Shuangmu also showed sincere admiration, and said softly: "Chutian, why do you say the most unbearable things from your mouth, and they all show endless Zen? It seems that my Buddha nature is still superficial. You can then debate with Master Holy Wrath."

Chu Tian couldn't help laughing: "Mage Holy Wrath?"

Master Shengnu is the abbot of Haide Temple. He is not only proficient in Buddhist principles, but also can speak eloquently. The head monk of Hyde Temple has unique skills.

What's more, he repaired the Ai Dao Hall with great management savvy for more pious and straightforward female believers to live in. He also established a medicinal dining room for the rich, and sent disciples to remote mountainous areas to teach the Dharma and recruit believers. After seven years, there are tens of thousands of disciples.

Haide Temple is still a temple that can be visited 24 hours a day, unlike other famous temples that close the gate in the evening, so even in the middle of the night, there are people worshiping at Haide Temple. In addition to ringing bells and chanting, the monks on duty are still keen to explain to believers Give generously.

Master Shengnu was not satisfied, so on the basis of the original, he successively launched regular consecrations for believers, helping people to read faces, measure characters, and observe Fengshui in houses. Among them, it has hidden the top three.

It is said that Master Shengnu is thinking about filling out more than ten square kilometers in the back sea of ​​the temple, and building a Temple of Heaven Buddha and two Buddhist sanatoriums. It can be seen how well developed his business acumen is, like Ma Yunshi Yuzhu It may not be its opponent.

With such a master, debating Zen with him is tantamount to asking for shame.

Chu Tian exhaled sullenly, and dragged Xia Qiudi towards the temple.

Shu Yunpeng's devotion to worshiping the incense burner without seeing the Buddha. It is true that it is better to seek oneself than to seek others. After so many years of life in the market, his thoughts have inadvertently undergone a qualitative change. I am afraid that this change Even he himself didn't realize it.

Compared with those believers who started worshiping three times and buckling nine times at the gate of the temple, his tall figure seemed to stand out from the crowd, and it was a bit out of date, so he wandered around twice and returned to Chutian and the others. People are different.

He is not afraid of the Buddha's reprimand, but he is afraid of the curiosity of the pilgrims.

It's almost nine o'clock in the evening. After Chutian and the others arrived at the main hall of Haide Temple to offer incense and respect to the Buddha, they asked the Zhike monk for a place to stay, and prayed that the temple would arrange a room for a few days. Think about the true meaning of life.

Chu Tian started slightly, and said politely: "I hope Master will complete it!"

The person who received Chutian and the others was a middle-aged monk who knew guests, who had long been indifferent to these polite tricks, so he replied in a condescending way: "Almighty, it is late at night, and even the Buddha is resting, not to mention that the monks who are allowed to stay in this temple have already taken a guest." Full!"

"Everyone, let's go down the mountain."

Shu Yunpeng has always been shameless and fearless, and he knew from the words and deeds of the other party that this monk was hypocritical, so he stretched out his hand to grab the monk and shouted: "Old bald donkey, what is your attitude? You dare to say that there is no room, I will strip you." Your skin!"

Zhike monk has always been flattered and flattered, but he has never been threatened like this.

He was shocked at first, and then he quickly calmed down. This is the holy land of Buddhism, and this is Lao Tzu's territory. Why should he be afraid of these few mainlanders of unknown origin? place, let go!"

Shu Yunpeng was about to get angry, but Chu Tian waved his hand to stop his behavior, then pulled the Zhike monk to the side and said with a smile: "Master, please forgive me for offending you, but the Buddha should take pity on us when we came from afar, two guest rooms are enough Well, please do me a favor."

Chu Tian casually opened his mouth and stuffed [-] Taiwan dollars into his monk robe.

Zhike Monk's demeanor, which was about to show off his prestige, became sluggish under Chutian's money offensive, and then he saw the chilling expression in the eyes of the big circle brothers, making people feel like lying naked in the snow and feeling completely cool , and even felt like being sent to see the Buddha.

So he made up his mind, nodded to Chutian and said, "Okay! The benefactor is so sincere, I will find a shelter for you for the Buddha. There are two simple monk's rooms in the backyard."

"It was originally a temporary dormitory for pilgrims, if you don't dislike it, you can live there!"
