Chapter 155 The Feng Family Old House on Yanshan Mountain
Professor Xu talked about Jialan Temple on the way down the mountain. There are many historical traces about this ancient temple.
"Jialan Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty. When Monk Jianzhen went eastward, he did leave many scriptures here. Regarding the story of Jialan Temple, the general and the woman had a good story. After that, there was a girl in Jialan Temple.
The monk exists.”
"If men and women are in the same temple together, doesn't it violate Buddhist discipline?" Zhang Xiuxian asked.
"Jialan Temple is a place for Zen practice. Buddhist discipline will not be disturbed by such trivial matters. There is no need to worry."
The road down the mountain is long. Professor Xu continued: "There are 19 statues in Jialan Temple. They were all built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. They have a history of hundreds of years. Although Jialan Temple is old, it is valuable.
It is one of the best in the entire Leiyin Mountain, and basically all the monks who actually practice Zen are here. It is known as the first Zen in Leiyin Mountain. I heard that many princes and nobles come to Jialan Temple every year.
Stay for a few days to realize what you have done. You two are extremely lucky to be blessed by the old monk in the temple. Most people don't have this kind of treatment. It was the prince of the Qing Dynasty who funded Daleiyin Mountain with tens of thousands of taels of silver.
, even the old monks of Renjialan Temple will not take a second look at it."
Zhang Xiuxian echoed: "Hey, what you said is right. This old monk from Jialan Temple is really proud of himself. He said he was doing clean and good things for people. But the two sentences didn't agree with each other. He threw the stall down and kicked us out. I
I feel like the emperor is here and I should be seen. If you don’t see me, you won’t see me.”
Professor Xu did not continue talking about this topic, but continued to talk about Jialan Temple.
"Since the Qing Dynasty, Jialan Temple has been a non-open temple outside of Daleiyin Mountain. Outsiders only know about Nanga Temple and its associated temples. Not many people know about Jialan Temple, and this place is relatively high and remote.
There are basically not many people there.”
At this point, Feng Yu asked Professor Xu, "Professor, how do you know about Jialan Temple?"
"That's right, I say, Professor Xu, don't hide it. We discerning people don't tell secrets."
As he spoke, Professor Xu pointed to the large Leiyin Mountain in front of them, which rose and fell and stretched for a long time.
"Please take a look, everyone. This mountain is Da Leiyin Mountain. There are two extension mountains under one main mountain. The two mountains between them are natural stars. To be honest, Da Leiyin Mountain is a branch of the Taihang Mountains.
An earth dragon in the side branch of the dragon vein, the earth generates gold, the moon and stars shine over it, gathering the precious energy. Buddha is the most golden and spiritual thing in the world. Therefore, it is inevitable that Daleiyin Mountain will become a holy land of Buddhism. I will go well all the way.
Following the trend of the Taihang Mountains, I found the location of this earth dragon."
Professor Xu then pointed to the Jialan Temple in the depths, "Look again, the place where Jialan Temple is located is exactly at the eye of this earth dragon. This temple can become the best place to practice Zen.
There is a cause and effect. I think the person who presided over the construction of Jialan Temple here must have been a person with extremely high attainments in Feng Shui."
Feng Yu didn't want Jialan Temple to be the location of the dragon's eye, but what he said should be right. Although Professor Xu is a professor of history, history in Feng Shui is formed by cause and effect.
Zhang Xiuxian was filled with admiration and praised: "Professor Xu is indeed Professor Xu. Such a remote place, when it comes to your mouth, it can become the location of a dragon's eye. It seems that I will have to follow you in the future. By the way, these words
I'm back. You'll have to visit my house some other time if you have the chance.
Look, let’s show our old lady the feng shui arrangements in her home so that she can create a situation that will prolong her life.”
Professor Xu said frankly: "I'm sure. During this trip, I plan to go to the north first to see Beilong, and then go to Beijing. We'll see you there then."
"It's a deal. This is the real name of this friend I have made with Zhang Xiuxian. No one said it would work, but I think it can work."
Feng Yu secretly scolded Zhang Xiuxian in his heart, are you just paying New Year's greetings? I'm afraid it's a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, so you don't have any good intentions at all.
Anyway, a few people talked and laughed all the way down the mountain.
Early the next morning, Feng Yu and the others said goodbye to Professor Xu and drove all the way out of Daleiyin Mountain towards the capital.
Professor Xu claimed that he would stay for a few more days to do some academic research and records, and then went north, making an appointment to meet in the capital when he came back.
Time flies by, and time never leaves anything behind. As a mortal, it is difficult to catch anything.
Beijing, a place with a long history and stories, is haunting.
There was no conversation all the way. A few days later, Zhang Xiuxian drove to the foot of Yanshan Mountain and left Feng Yu and Zhizhi down. He said that he would go back to see his mother and uncle at home first, and then go to the Feng family to visit Uncle Feng in two days.
Feng Yu knew why Zhang Xiuxian wanted to visit Uncle Feng, and it was obvious that he wanted to see his sister.
The front door of the Feng family is always so solemn. The two dark and thick door panels stand under it, forming a stark contrast, giving people a feeling of suffocation and making it difficult to breathe.
Zhizhi followed Feng Yu, and a knock on the door came into Feng's house.
After knocking for a long time, a man from the Feng family came to open the door. Generally speaking, the Feng family would not have many visitors during the day. After all, the Feng family was located above Yanshan Mountain, so few people came.
The person who opened the door saw that it was Feng Yu, the young master of the Feng family, who had returned. He hurriedly called someone to call someone and shouted in the yard, "Master Feng is back, Master Feng is back."
The shouting was extremely clear. Normally, no one would come to Feng's house in broad daylight, so this guy felt it was novel. Plus, it was Feng Yu who had not returned from his trip for a long time. Naturally, the voice came from the bottom of his heart.
Feng Yu wanted to stop the waiter from shouting, but saw that he was running very fast, so he could only awkwardly walk behind with Zhi Zhi.
Among the Feng family members who came to inquire, the first one to arrive was the sister of the second uncle's family. She was overjoyed and came up to ask questions, and then the aunt and the second aunt also came out.
Feng Yu still has some status in the Feng family. Although some distant relatives in the Feng family do not approve of Mr. Feng, their voices have gradually become weaker over the years.
Since the Feng family moved its capital to Yanshan in the 20th year of Yongle, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, it has stood here for three to five hundred years. The house was built over and over again, and the people were replaced batch after batch. There was never any change because of that generation.
Yanshan is the place chosen by our ancestors to leave this place, and there is no reason to abandon it.
After Feng Yu returned to Feng's family, everyone in Feng's family came over soon. More than a dozen people, big and small, gathered around Feng Yu to ask questions. His aunts and uncles were worried about Feng Yu's health, and his sisters asked what they had brought to them.
When something interesting came back, the guys were curious about what happened outside.
seal up
Yu was confused when he was asked, and felt helpless in his heart. When he stayed at home, he didn't usually show so much concern. On the contrary, as soon as he went out, these aunts and aunts saw him as cordially as if they hadn't seen each other for many years, which made Feng Yu temporarily unable to relax.
Come on.
Everyone was sitting in the hall, talking to each other for nearly half an hour. Zhizhi stood on the side without daring to speak. She had never seen so many strangers.
Half an hour later, Dad limped out from behind. Seeing that it was Uncle Feng coming, everyone made way for Feng Qing to pass by.
"Let's all disperse. What are you doing here? Let the children eat first. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me later."
Feng Qing's position in the Feng family has always been that of the one in charge. The Feng family agreed unanimously and began to disperse.
Feng Qing still looks the same. The basic style of the ancient Zhongshan style coat remains unchanged. In Feng Qing's own words, he has worn this outfit several times. It is comfortable to wear and looks comfortable.
Feng Qing is not an old-fashioned person, but he still accepts death in some aspects, such as business matters. When he really wants to sell the good items from the ground, he will feel reluctant to part with them. He believes that people who really know the goods
There isn't much, so instead of selling it to someone who doesn't appreciate it, it's better to keep it in your own hands. As the old saying goes, there are always horses that can cover a thousand li, but not so many Bole. Feng Qing can see a lot more clearly, and that's because of his determination.
But people are not sages, who can have perfect times? For the Feng family, for the ancestors Guanshan Taibao, and the Coffin Mountain people, in these things, there are more problems that even Fengqing himself is not clear about. In order to cover up some of what he
You know, he doesn't even know whether he is right or wrong.
Feng Yu looked at his father, wondering what he was thinking about, and asked, "Dad, where is my second uncle? Why don't I see anyone else when I come back?"
Feng Qing asked Feng Yu to sit down, "Your second uncle went out and went to Lu Guangcheng's place. I don't know what those two people were doing again."
Feng Yu nodded lightly. Zhang Xiuxian's uncle Lu Guangcheng was very energetic. He was either robbing or selling cultural relics. It was easy to make money by doing anything. Of course, it was under the banner of the official family. As the saying goes, collusion between government and businessmen requires doing business.
Reach the sky in one step.
Feng Qing smiled at Zhizhi, showing the attitude that an elder should have, "You are Zhizhi, come and sit here. From now on, you will live in the Feng family. According to seniority, I am your uncle and we belong to the same family."
Man, let your sisters take you to get to know you later. The old lady entrusted you to the Feng family because she can trust the Feng family."
Zhizhi was very obedient and agreed quietly.
Feng Yu asked his father from the side: "Dad, do you know what Zhizhi's eyes are..."
Feng Qing stretched out his hand to stop Feng Yu's words and said to him: "It's been a long journey, how is the old friend who went to Da Leiyin Mountain to visit? Speak slowly, you eat first, then go and rest, and wait for tomorrow morning.
Come to my place, I have something to tell you."
Feng Yu nodded, "That's okay, Monk Iron Stick. Dad, don't forget what you told me before, about the book written by the Great Fox that you want to show me."
Feng Qing snorted, "You brat, you remember this clearly. I've prepared the book. I'll come over and get it tomorrow. By the way, did the old monk find anything? He told you
What's wrong? That guy was a gold captain back then."
