This pagoda is majestic and majestic. There is a golden plaque in front of the pagoda with the words "Tiannu Pagoda" written on it.
There were four monks guarding the tower, but they were not ordinary monks, but warrior monks. Chang Sui Ning swept past the four monks without leaving a trace.
Not only that, there are also unusual things around this tower.
Chang Suining looked at the stacks of bluestones around the tower, the tinkling stream surrounding it, and the bamboo forest that had just sprouted young leaves——
Directly in front of the pagoda door, there is a bronze tripod-style incense burner with a height of one person, with green smoke curling up.
Chang Sui Ning squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the golden bell hanging on the eaves of the tower, which appeared golden in the morning light.
Looking further at the various Buddhist temples, we can see that the location of this pagoda is also very particular - or in other words, the entire Dayun Temple is built in a place with exquisite feng shui, but this pagoda is built in a very particular place.
Within the formation.
She is not proficient in these strange formations, but Wujue was very good at setting up military formations when she was a military advisor. Over time, she also learned a lot.
The formation around the "Tiannu Tower" in front of us was probably designed by Wujue.
But after all, it was different from the military formation. She couldn't see what the formation was or what its purpose was.
"This Heavenly Lady Pagoda was built by His Majesty before he ascended the throne." Chang Kuo took a look, lowered his voice slightly, and said: "It is recorded in the Great Cloud Sutra that the Pure Light Heavenly Lady once visited the lamp Buddha,
After listening to the Mahanirvana Sutra, it is because of this that Sakyamuni Buddha was reincarnated as a goddess of pure light when he was in the world. He gave up his heavenly body and became a king as a woman to save the world and protect the righteous Dharma... Today's saints are grateful for this and specially built this
The Goddess Tower is dedicated to the Goddess of Pure Light.”
Chang Sui Ning lowered his eyes, hiding a faint trace of ridicule in his eyes.
It turns out that this is the origin of Dayun Temple.
Ming Hou is referring to what is recorded in Buddhist scriptures, implying that he is the reincarnation of Sakyamuni Buddha and needs to be a woman as a king to save the world?
Although there was a precedent of a woman becoming emperor in Dasheng a hundred years ago, the empress was a princess from the orthodox royal family and was established as the crown princess when she was young. This was just the right thing to do.
But it was different after the Ming Dynasty. She was just a queen with a foreign surname. If she wanted to ascend to the supreme position, in addition to planning and scheming to gather power, she also needed a "righteous name" that could win the hearts of the people - the theory of gods, Buddhas and heavens was a useful method.
.
In order to tell the world that she is the monarch appointed by heaven - the Holy Monarch of Heavenly Records, she became the Holy Register.
"But I heard that pilgrims are not allowed to enter here. Only Master Wujue or those with the permission of a saint can enter." Chang Sui'an said and looked into the tower curiously: "I didn't even go in to take a look.
Got through."
As they passed by, the four monks with their hands clasped in front of them kept their eyes closed, completely undisturbed by external objects, just like the four mighty Vajra statues.
There was a gust of wind, and the golden bell sounded softly in a Zen mood.
Chang Suining suddenly paused at his feet and his expression changed.
…
"...The thunderstorm half a month ago almost destroyed this array. Let's look at the stones in this array. They were damaged at that time."
At this moment, a monk wearing the abbot's cassock was walking out from behind the tower and said: "There were lightning protection objects on the tower, and the spring thunder never hit the tower. Everything in the tower was intact, except for that
The jade statue has cracks for some unknown reason..."
The tall young man beside him was silent for a long time before asking: "In the opinion of the abbot, is this vision bad or good?"
"It's hard to say." The monk sighed slightly and said, "Since the beginning of this formation, I have not been completely sure. There is no reference method before, and it is difficult to predict anything later. It only depends on God's will and chance."
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the tower with some feeling: "But if there is a vision, it must have something to point to... Although it is not known what it refers to, but maybe -"
The monk said, looking at the young man with a slight smile: "Master Cui may have a chance to sense it."
The young man’s eyes were slightly startled—him?
The monk said: "The original jade for the statue was found by Governor Cui from the Western Regions. There may be a chance."
The young man did not say a word, but raised his head slightly to look at the swaying golden bell. The morning light cast down his dark and clear eyebrows with a layer of quiet golden light.
"...Ning Ning, what's wrong with you!" The young man's nervous voice faintly reached the keen ears of martial arts practitioners.
"Sui Ning, what's wrong with you? Come on, sit down and take a rest..."
Xi'er hurriedly helped her daughter sit down on the stone bench under the Bodhi tree not far away.
"The girl's face is pale, but she has a severe headache?" Xi'er knelt down in front of Chang Sui Ning, and tears suddenly fell from her eyes again: "It's all my fault for whining..."
Chang Suining: "How about you change your name to Wuwu?"
Xi'er's crying suddenly stopped, holding back her tears, she looked at her girl with tears in her eyes.
Chang Suining then took off the hand that was pressing on her temple and looked at where she was standing. She saw patterns of Buddhist beasts and monsters carved in gold lacquer and colorful ink on the stone bricks.
"Ning Ning, are you feeling better?" The image of his sister retching after looking at him in the morning was still in front of her, Chang Sui'an didn't dare to bring her face too close.
"Much better." Chang Suining replied, his eyes still falling on the pattern in front of him.
She should have just entered the battle.
But Chang Sui'an and the others also share the same menstruation, so why is she the only one who feels suddenly unwell and has a splitting headache?
She can't be a lonely ghost inside. When she comes to this Buddhist holy land, the holy light of Buddhism is really going to drive her away?
Normally, she would not necessarily believe in this belief in the gods and Buddhas, but she had experienced things that could not be explained by common sense, so she had no choice but to believe it.
But she neither stole nor robbed, and what she was doing now was not what she wanted, and no one asked her for her opinion. Could it be that the Lord Yama made his own decision, without greeting the gods and Buddhas around him, and the opinions were not unified?
Chang Suining looked at the tall tower.
However, as the saying goes, it is easier to ask a Buddha than to give him a hard time - now that she has come back to life and this life has been given to her, the rest is up to her.
She had no intention of repaying the advantage she had gained through luck.
"Sui Ning, drink some water quickly." Seeing that she seemed to be in a trance, Chang Kuo urged her warmly.
Only then did Chang Suining see the kettle handed to him by Xi'er and took it.
"Why is Governor Cui here?" Chang Kuo's unexpected voice sounded above his head, and Chang Suining subconsciously raised his eyes.
She had seen Cui Jing many times. At this time, her eyes went directly past Cui Jing and fell on the chubby monk beside her.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wujue stopped growing her hair in her early years. When she first saw this man recommending himself, she thought he was a monk who came to beg for alms. Later she found out——
Before a person becomes a monk, all he has left as a monk is his hair.
The causes and consequences are as follows——
If you suffer from premature baldness when you are young, you might as well shave it all off.
I'd rather be bald than bald.
I vow not to leave any room for the word bald to continue to conquer.
A very stubborn person who refuses to give in.
At this time, he was wearing the abbot's cassock, with a round head, a pair of plump earlobes, and a kind and Zen-like smile on his face. He was really glowing with Buddha's light.
At this time he saw Chang Kuo: "Hey, Lao Chang!"
Chang Suining: "..."
Well, the Buddha's light was completely shattered, and it was as if he had returned from the holy place of the Buddhist altar to the mutton soup restaurant in an instant.
Wujue walked over quickly.
Changsui An and Xi'er called "Master Wujue" and saluted Cui Jing.
Seeing that he seemed to be looking in his direction, Chang Sui Ning put his hand on his forehead and frowned as if he had a headache - if this etiquette didn't work, it wouldn't work.
"...What's going on with little Suining?" Wujue lifted up the hem of his cassock and squatted down in front of Chang Suining: "Come on, call your second father to take a look -"
"..." Chang Suining looked at him in confusion.
Even if you have become a monk, do you still want to join in the excitement of becoming a father?
Is it appropriate for him to hear it himself?
As everyone knows, something even more inappropriate is yet to come: "Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why does Xiao Suining... look more and more beautiful?"
Wujue stared at her, with a hint of novelty and exclamation in his eyes.
Chang Kuo said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Suining has a headache and feels unwell. Please stop saying a few words." Others didn't know what had happened to the child, so didn't this bald man know? He actually had the heart to talk.
"I have a headache... Come on, come with me to the Zen monastery to warm yourself up by the fire and take a rest."
Seeing Chang Suining nodding, Xi'er helped him up.
Cui Jing said a few words to Chang Kuo, but did not stay any longer: "Cui will take his leave first."
Master Wujue smiled: "Donor Cui, walk slowly."
Cui Jing nodded, raised his feet and left.
Chang Suining, who was being supported by Xi'er, passed by the place where the carvings were painted. He was frightened and took two steps to one side.
At this moment, Cui Jing came to her side.
Girls' spring blouse and skirt, fresh and pretty.
The young man is wearing armor, a mysterious robe, and looks cool and neat.
Sometimes the wind blows, the golden bells stir, and the soft embroidered white orchid shawl gently blows over the armor, and is gone in an instant.
Both of them noticed. Cui Jing lowered his eyes, met the eyes of Ying Che who slightly raised his face to look at him, and immediately withdrew his gaze.
There was the smell of green bamboo growing in the wind, and when the morning light swayed among the bodhi trees, the two people passed by each other silently.
"...Governor, is that the girl from General Chang's residence? When you look at it, it seems that you look vaguely familiar?" After Chang Kuo and others walked away, Yuan Xiang, who was not far away, said with a slightly confused expression.
: "But I can't remember when I saw it..."
Cui Jing: "..."
His subordinates don't seem very smart.
"Oh! I remember it!" Yuan Xiang suddenly realized: "Two years ago, when General Chang and the governor led their troops on an expedition, the husband of the Chang family came to see General Chang off. It seems that the girl from the Chang family also came at that time! It was that meeting
Pass!"
Cui Jing: "...I recalled it very well. There is no need to recall it again next time."
Yuanxiang scratched his head.
"Captain... The saint has given you the special permission to rest with General Chang for three days, and then go to the palace to receive the reward three days later when all the officials will appear in court." Yuan Xiang asked: "Captain didn't sleep a wink all night, and yesterday
You’ve been busy all day, do you want to go home and rest?”
Just thinking about those people in the Cui family, the voices behind them became lower.
Cui Jing: "Go back to Xuance Mansion first."
The Xuance Army has a government office in the middle of the capital, called Xuance Mansion, which manages the affairs of the Xuance Army.
Yuanxiang should "yes".
…
Changsui Ning did not stay in Dayun Temple for a long time.
At first, she felt that the formation was a bit evil, and she instinctively wanted to stay away, for fear that her life, which had not yet been warmed up, would be taken away again.
Secondly, the time for meeting with Zhou Ding is coming soon.
The third time he came, he yawned one after another. As soon as Cui Jing walked away, he complained endlessly: "This young man can really endure it... I was forced to talk to him about Buddhism all night, and I was so sleepy.
You can’t die on the spot!”
When Chang Sui Ning listened to it, he couldn't help but feel again that there was Buddha light, but not much.
…
The meeting place with Zhou Ding in the letter was at the Seoul Lake not far from Dayun Temple.
This lake is surrounded by green mountains and the Weishui River. It has beautiful scenery and is just in time for spring. It is a good place for spring outing and boating.
When Chang Suining arrived, there was already a figure waiting in the pavilion by the lake.
"Look, girl, that man in the green shirt who looks like a dog is Zhou Ding." Xi'er reminded Chang Suining in a low voice.
