Vol 9 Chapter 221: Ancestral zen

Great Zen Temple.
The magnificent scale enjoys the reputation of "a little bit of joss stick", a millennium ancient temple with tens of thousands of monks and believers living there, but today it is exceptionally peaceful.
In the past, the chanting of chanting sutras has never been heard, and an extremely solemn atmosphere pervaded the temple.
A group of people walked along the tens of thousands of stone steps in the mountains to the gate of the Great Zen Temple.
The scale of the Great Zen Temple is huge, but the gate is unexpectedly shabby and small.
A simple wooden house built of thatched forest, there is a stone plaque on the forehead, and the three characters "Dachan Temple" are written on it.
The stone plaque is a long time old, covered with moss, and the handwriting is vigorous, but there is no endorsement.
There are a pair of stone lions on the left and right of the mountain gate.
In addition, there is nothing else around the mountain gate.
A long and narrow pass passes through the endless green pine and cypress, straight up to the mountain end, and the dense forest of steles in the distance hides its interest in the forest.
At this moment, the wonderful monk in the dazzling pose stood on the side of the mountain gate, waiting silently for everyone's arrival.
In the past, Miao Xiu's handsome face became very heavy, and he could not allow everyone to step forward to ask questions. He moved far and deeply toward several people and turned to lead in.
In such a somber atmosphere, everyone could not help but sink their hearts, looked at each other, and followed behind the monk Miao Xiu.
Half a figure was not seen along the way, and the entire huge monastic community was haunted by Buddhas.
Meng Yuanzhang was a few steps behind, and Sun Kun, who was peering around, approached him, lowered his voice and asked, "What kind of ghost is there in Dazen Temple? At present, why don't you see half of the guarded monks?"
Sun Kun was silent, and Lu Yunxuan next to him came up and said, "Brother, you said that the monk here wouldn't be in a bad situation. Are you running around?"
Directly shivering, Sun Kun said, "Don't talk nonsense, haven't you heard 'You can run a monk, you can't run a temple'? If this group of monks do n’t even need this temple, the world is so big, how can they still hold them? Hiding? Dachen Temple must have its own plan, don't talk, just follow along. "
Several people followed behind Miao Xiu, and walked up to the main hall of Daxiong Temple, the highest point of the Great Zen Temple.
When you look at it from a distance, you already know that the temple is huge, and when you look at it, you find it magnificent.
If the Great Zen Temple is built on flat ground, I am afraid that it will surpass any large city in the world, which is the Xiangyang Mansion in the Southern Dynasty.
Between the mountains and forests of the entire temple, only a few corners of the main hall can be seen in the virgin forest. When you are near, you can see that these buildings that seem to be "small lotus sharp corners" are actually huge orders. People are dumbfounded.
All the main buildings of the Great Zen Temple are centered on the Great Heroes Hall, and are arranged on a straight central axis in order, and the entire temple is uniform in size.
All the buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, and the color is as new, but it is unknown whether the monks in the temple are cleaning and the tile quality is the same. Glazed gold, red in glaze, peacock blue, three-color dazzling, under the sun, shine brilliant.
Just the square in front of the Temple of Heaven, it was surprisingly huge.
The platform square, which is a hundred feet away, is all made of white marble, surrounded by white stone carvings, and in the middle of the white stone square, the four kings of the law are enshrined.
The four Buddha statues are five feet high, with colorful plastic jewellery.
On the four sides of Baishi Square, except for the entrances and exits of the four stone steps, there are an average of five hundred Arhats. They are all life-size, made of gold and bronze, and each has a different look and posture. The inner guards are all lifelike, just like living people.
The other buildings are based on the main hall on the axis as a whole, distributed in an orderly manner, separated by forest roads, and have a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
Under the statues of the four heavenly kings, a large incense burner was placed, and the burning sandalwood was sending out a lot of aromas, which permeated the entire space, gradually calming down the hearts of several people.
The crowd went up all the way. When they passed the Noble Hall, the long-lost recitation of the scriptures finally came. Just listening to the sound, they knew that there were at least 1,000 monks singing in unison within the hall.
The monk Miao Xiu worshipped the three Buddhas, Shakyamuni, Amitabha, and Yakushi Buddha, before turning on the main hall, turning around from the side hall.
The crowd followed a ceremony and followed again.
As he passed the Noble Palace, Meng Yuanxuan's ears moved slightly, and he lowered his voice and said next to Sun Kun: "There are at least three thousand monks in the hall ..."
Sun Kun Zheng focused his head and slowly said, "Three thousand Picchus, all are the peaks of the Diyuan Realm ..."
Everyone froze and stopped talking.
In this way, after several halls, Wenshu Hall, Thousand Buddha Hall, Wuliang Hall, etc., each hall has a thousand monks chanting, and finally passed a towering bell tower, the crowd finally reached the summit of Canglong Mountain, It is also the most cutting-edge place of the Great Zen Temple.
In a square that is ten times more magnificent than the square in front of the Daxiong Baodian, a golden crystal-like glazed Buddhist temple is located in the center.
Five hundred Arhats sat quietly around the Buddhist temple and recited the Buddhist scriptures in unison.
A powerful Buddha's mana rose into the sky, converged into a row in the void, and turned into a slowly rotating "卍" character.
Right below the word "卍", at the gate of the Buddha's hall, three old bearded monks entered into the temple as if they were idols.
On the lintel, four large characters "Zen Ancestral Chamber" were written on one plaque.
The crowd was shocked by the scene in front of them, unable to speak for a long time.
Dachen Temple, this is a posture of life and death. Is there any danger here?
At this point, the monk Miaoxiu loosened her mind and body, and turned to the people: "Teachers Tan Yue, the little monk will be here, and some will enter the temple. The abbot has been waiting for a long time."
After hearing a word, Sun Kun asked quickly: "Master Miao Xiu, why is your school today in a position like this, is there any trouble in Dachen Temple?"
Miao Xiu monk smiled indifferently, chose a Buddhist slogan, and slowly said, "There are destinies for cause and effect, and there are destinies. Some don't have to worry about it." As soon as the voice fell, Miao Xiu turned and looked at the back of her. As decisively.
The crowd looked at each other, and the heavy feeling almost made them breathless.
"Go ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Sun Kun takes a deep breath and leads everyone slowly.
Everyone was affected by the solemn scene in front of them, except Ye Qingxuan.
It was still the dumb look, with lollipops in his mouth, and he looked curiously along the way. When he saw a meditating Luo Han, he showed a doubt, and then patted his head. Pointing at the other person with a smile: "Hee, monk, I seem to recognize you!"
The monk slowly opened his eyes and saluted Ye Qingxuan slightly, saying: "Amitabha, 'Lion of the Lion Dragon' should be true, and I have seen Qing Xuan Tan Yue!"
After speaking, close your eyes again and re-enter the meditation.
"Look, I said I knew him!" Ye Qingxuan offered the treasure to everyone with a smile, and Mei Yinxue quickly pulled him aside to avoid disturbing the Buddhist monks.
Sun Kun sighed and said, "A big deal has happened. All of these five hundred Arahants are of innate level or above ... Dazhan Temple is desperate!"
