Chapter 352： The Great Buddha of Fayuan Temple!

Fayuan Temple was full of voices, and Lu Zheng discovered that there was a huge square here. There were high platforms on the square, and the high platforms were fenced to keep out the wind and cold.

These high platforms are all built by various merchants, which are equivalent to temporary restaurants and restaurants. Of course, because in Fayuan Temple, the food here is vegetarian, and the wine is only vegetarian. This is the case. China is also overcrowded and very lively.

Lu Ning was familiar with all of this. He led Lu Zheng and Ying'er to find a relatively secluded high platform to sit in. As soon as they sat firmly, they heard a loud noise from the square.

Before Lu Ning sat down firmly, he stood up and said, "Wow, third brother, look over there. That is the sedan chair of Princess Qian of the Prince Qin Mansion. Princess Qian has come to offer incense!"

Lu Zheng looked in the direction of the square in amazement, and he saw a lot of people crowding a sedan towards the square. This was a crimson sedan with a very eye-catching spire. The four corners of the sedan were raised up and looked like Very beautiful and luxurious.

Lu Zheng did not see the royal logo from the appearance of the sedan chair. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother, how do you know that it is Princess Qian’s sedan chair?"

Lu Ning smiled lightly and said, "Isn't that easy? Do you see the man riding a tall horse behind the crimson sedan chair? That person is Dai Shizhang, does the son of Dai Xiang know?

But for temple fairs, where Princess Qian goes, Dai Shizhang will inevitably appear there, so that no one else will be able to see the princess's demeanor..."

"Wait, brother! It seems a little messy, didn't you say that Dai Shizhang is very interested in Li Qianqian? How did you get involved with Princess Qian?" Lu Zheng said.

Lu Ning chuckled and said, "My third brother, can he be infatuated with a locust like Dai Shizhang? Anyone who likes the capital of Princess Qian knows that Princess Qian is very rude to him, but the more so, The more he has to do everything possible to get closer to Princess Qian, do you think this person has a quirk?

Recently, there are rumors that His Royal Highness Qin intends to marry Princess Qian to the Dai family. Tsk, tusk, once this news comes out, can Master Dai be more enthusiastic? "

Long Qian, the princess of the Qin Palace, is more beautiful than Hua Jiao and has a hot temperament. He is a famous girl in Beijing and the goddess of thousands of talented people!

The arrival of Princess Qian will naturally cause a huge commotion, but Dai Shizhang, the flower protector, has an abominable face, which makes the talented scholars very jealous, but this is the case, and the square is full of people.

"Third brother, let's not think about this princess in this life. If you and my brother are practical, think about the top girls in Bada Hutong. If they can be favored by them, hehe, that's also a good story!" Lu Ning Grinned.

Ying'er on the side rolled his eyes at him, and Lu Zheng grinned and said, "Brother, you can talk about whoring|prostitution so high-sounding, you are the only thing I have seen in my life."

"Haha..." Lu Ning smiled awkwardly, he neatly adjusted his long gown, and said, "You are not a juvenile man! You and my brothers are in a bad family situation. You can only rely on a little talent to compete for romance, sigh!"

Lu Zheng said: "According to the eldest brother's statement, in the capital, whose children are the most enviable?"

Lu Ning said: "If you say it is the most enviable, it is naturally the children of the Su family and the Duan family, and the Dai family can't be underestimated.

Just say Dai Shizhang, if only to learn, I'm afraid it's worse than Lu Ning. But look at them, can you be with Princess Qian, can you and my brother do it?

There is also the girl Li Qianqian, who is not the prince and the royal family or the children of Su and Duan. How can we scholars from small families like her?

Among the celebrities in the capital, there are also ladies from the Su family and Duan family. Tsk tsk, they have to be in the right position. How can we be favored by beautiful women from the background of you and my brothers? "

Lu Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Brother, I heard that the sister-in-law is not Miss Su Jia?"

"Uh..." Lu Ning showed a weird look on his face, he coughed twice, and said, "That...don't mention the sister-in-law, don't mention the sister-in-law, uh..."

"Hey!" Seeing Lu Ning's face with an angry eyebrow, Ying'er couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, there was another climax on the square. The sedan chair of a certain lady in the Su family came, and the sedan chair of a certain lady in the latter family also came, and then the first oiran in Beijing, Li Qianqian, arrived.

Li Qianqian's sedan chair was unusually ladylike. She was a big red sedan chair, and she fell down outside the square, and then she got out of the car and walked across the square on foot.

Looking at this woman from a distance, she was dressed in white fur, her face was like a silver basin, and her figure was long and swaying. She was surrounded by more than a dozen maids, and there was also a big man dressed in strong clothes waiting for protection. There was a lot of commotion on the square, and at this time, the bell in the temple rang, Fayuan The gate of the temple opened.

"The door is open! Let's go, third brother, let's go to the incense too!" Lu Ning said loudly.

The gate of Fayuan Temple opened and the pilgrims poured in like a tide. It is obvious that not all of these influx pilgrims are devout believers. Like many talented men, they went to burn incense, presumably to get a glimpse of the grace of the woman they admired. Too!

Lu Ning jumped off the platform and waved to Lu Zheng, "Third brother, come on, let's go in and burn incense too!" With the flow of people, Lu Zheng didn't want to join in the excitement, so he said:

"Brother, you go in first, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, follow up later, you go!"

Lu Ning nodded and immediately made an appointment with Lu Zheng on the time and place to meet, and followed the flow of people into Fayuan Temple. Fayuan Temple is huge in scale, covering an area of ​​several thousand acres, with more than 1,000 monks. There are five halls for pilgrims to worship.

Lu Zheng did not convert to the Shi family. He had little interest in Shangxiang's affairs, so he didn't want to join in the fun. Ying'er had a madness, but she didn't quite adapt to the various enthusiasm of the talents from the north at the temple fair today. Not daring to step into the temple to put incense, the master and servant walked around the corridor outside the temple to the east of the temple.

Fayuan Temple is isolated from the outside world with a high red wall. A wide corridor paved with bluestones around the red wall. Today, everyone is rushing to the temple, like Lu Zheng, who are purely exotic hunters. Very rare. Lu Zheng walked only half a mile around the outer wall of Fayuan Temple, and all the uproariousness was far away and completely cleaned.

Fayuan Temple is located in the prosperous part of the capital, the scenery is beautiful, and it can also overlook the prosperous capital. Lu Zheng and Ying'er walked slowly along the road paved with bluestone slabs. They saw the prosperity, but they were in a quiet place. This kind of experience Lu Zheng had never had before.

In the whirling world, all living beings are presented in front of Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng seems to be standing on a high place and watching all this. He is just a bystander in this world.

There is a mountain on the back mountain of Fayuan Temple, and there is a big Buddha on the mountain. Lu Zheng could see the big Buddha from a distance, and a thought suddenly came into his mind:

"If the Buddha is truly spiritual, the big Buddha on this mountain should be like me, standing on a high place overlooking the whirling world. With his Buddha nature, what can he see?"

With this thought in Lu Zheng's mind, he wanted to climb the mountain, walked a long way around the wall, and gradually walked to the foot of the mountain, but at this moment, there was a small door leading directly to the Fayuan Temple. There was no handle in the small door, and Lu Zheng easily walked into the high wall.

After walking into the high wall, you can climb up the steps along the stone steps at the bottom of the mountain. There are no people in this area. After walking for a while, Lu Zheng can see the prosperous incense in the five main halls of Fayuan Temple in front of him.

I saw at least five green smoke hovering from the place where the front door of the main halls were burning incense. The green smoke rose, covering the crowd and a lot of prosperity.

Lu Zheng walked higher, faintly he heard bursts of Sanskrit singing from the top of the mountain. This Sanskrit singing was low and heavy. Hearing it in his ears made Lu Zheng feel aloof. It seemed that his spirit had been refined and sublimated, and he immediately reduced his mind. , The pace slows down and climbs step by step.

When he arrived on the mountain, Lu Zheng discovered that there was a large area of ​​open space. The big Buddha on the mountain was right in front of his eyes. Looking at this Buddha statue, it was several tens of feet high. It was carved from a piece of rough stone on the mountain. Look at this carving, exquisite atmosphere, and Buddha statue. It looks spiritual and lifelike.

And under this big Buddha, there are two rows of wooden row houses built against the mountain. The row houses are made of wood. They are simple and simple. The roof is covered with thatch. The Sanskrit singing that Lu Zheng hears is from this row. It came from the room.

It's midwinter now. Occasionally there are laymen in and out of the row houses. These people are men and women, all wearing monk clothes. They occasionally look at Lu Zheng's master and servant curiously, but quickly narrow their gazes to work on their tasks. It seems that everyone is there. Focus on your own world.

When Lu Zheng saw this scene, he knew in his heart that the row houses in the back mountain should be the place provided by the temple for the laymen. In the ordinary world, there are many believers in Buddhism. They have converted to Buddhism, but have not been ordained. This is the so-called layman.

These laymen usually have their own identities in the red dust. When they are free, they enter the temple to practice and learn Buddhism. Some even live in the temple for a few months. Now these row houses are their residences.

There are males and females, and there are exactly two rows in the row houses. The male is left and the female is right. Lu Zheng knows a little bit about the Shi family in the capital. He knows that Fayuan Temple is a large temple under the royal edict. Not ordinary people. Buddhas say that all beings are equal. In fact, even in temples dedicated to gods and Buddhas, people are divided into different ranks!

Lu Zheng thought to himself, if he wanted to live in Fayuan Temple as a layman, he might have to spend a lot of work!

After turning this thought in Lu Zheng's mind, he had no interest in these laymen. He circled the Buddha, and when he turned to the back, he found that there were stone steps behind. Follow the stone steps up, whether it leads to the top of the mountain. The way to go?

When he thought of this, he walked up the steps, but Yinger didn't keep up at this time. She was still looking up at the big Buddha above her head, wondering how this huge Buddha statue was carved!
