Volume 3 The Controversy Between Immortals and Buddhas Chapter 7 Zhenhai Temple
From a distance, there is a golden temple in the mountains, but when you get closer, it is in ruins.
The two mountain gates are in dilapidated condition, and the plaque of "Zhenhai Chanlin Temple" is also tilted and sagging, and may fall at any time. It has been covered with moss after rain.
Pushing open the dilapidated mountain gate, the corridor in the courtyard was as desolate and dilapidated as two rugged men, holding steel knives, were standing on the dilapidated corridor chatting.
Seeing someone pushing open the mountain door to enter, he immediately stood up and picked up the steel knife to alert him. He found that a pair of young men and women came in, especially the woman, whose handsome and charming face was full of coldness and arrogance. One man immediately became interested.
Carrying a steel knife, he opened his mouth and joked:
"Oh, what a pretty little lady..."
The accomplice next to them immediately patted the man with the back of his knife. Only then did they realize that the young man and woman who came in were flying close to the ground. Knowing that they met the cultivator, they immediately knelt down and saluted:
"You two, forgive me for your sins. The younger one was blind and offended the Supreme Immortal. Please forgive me for your sins..."
Ignoring the two ordinary people kneeling down to beg for mercy, Wang Bin and Qiu Xuan flew straight into the second-floor courtyard. It was still dilapidated, but there were more mortals, more than twenty people; the third-floor courtyard had more people, enough
There are more than fifty people.
"Sure enough, it's just like the information. These are the bandits who came from Xipo Country, right?"
According to the information provided by Shadow, the 'Zhenhai Chanlin Temple' is a typical 'Qinghunyi' temple. The first three courtyards are dilapidated and inhabited by a group of bandits who fled from the Xiepo Kingdom. They usually rob homes and homes and come here to escape the wind and rain at night.
After passing the third courtyard, there is the Bell and Drum Tower behind it. The Bell and Drum Tower has collapsed long ago, and the big drum is broken. The top of the big bell is covered with white hair, and the bottom is surrounded by moss. At the end of the courtyard, there is a magnificent and resplendent new temple.
:
Colorful clouds are painted on the blue brick wall, the glaze is green on the top, the steps and corridors are paved with white jade, and a golden vase on the top of the main hall shines in all directions; downstairs along the four-legged door, a golden plaque shines brightly:
‘Zhenhai Chanlin Temple’.
An old Taoist in ragged clothes stood quietly under the plaque, looking at Wang Bin with cloudy eyes. Chunxuan and the others flew close to him, bowed his head and saluted:
"Zhenhai Chanlin Temple, what do you two Taoists do for you?"
Looking at the careless old man in rags, Wang Bin did not answer directly, but said softly:
"This place is called Heisong Mountain. There was originally a Taoist temple called 'Tingsong Temple', which was the Taoist temple of the 'Songlin Sect'. More than a thousand years ago, a group of monks occupied this place and renamed it 'Zhenhai Chanlin Temple'. A magnificent view of the place
Lord, he became a temple gatekeeper.
Am I right?
Tingsong Guanzhu·Xuansong Taoist?”
The old man in ragged clothes slowly straightened his curved back, his cloudy eyes gradually became clear, and his powerful aura locked onto the two of them at the same time.
Seeing that the old man in broken clothes gradually increased his momentum, and finally stayed at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, Wang Bin bowed gently and said:
"Senior Xuan Song, I don't mean to offend you. I'm Wang Bin, the master of Jinyun Mansion. Elder Qiuxuan of our sect was kidnapped by a 'holy monk' from the temple and came here to find someone.
I just checked some more information before coming here, and I have a rough idea of your life experience, and it seems that the information is true!"
Wang Bin, who has been familiar with "Journey to the West" since he was a child, has long been familiar with Jin Chanzi's journey to the west. According to the record in the book, when Jin Chanzi and his party came to Zhenhai Chanlin Temple, there was an old Taoist who was guarding the door. Wang Bin
When I read this, I felt strange: How could there be an experienced gatekeeper in the temple?
That’s why I checked some more information. I wouldn’t know if I didn’t check, but I’d be shocked if I checked.
"Jinyun Mansion? Never heard of it."
"Of course, senior has lived here for a long time, and things outside the forest are left to reincarnation. If senior wants to go out and walk around, he can come to my Jinyun Mansion to rest. Our Jinyun Mansion's hotel business covers five continents. There is a hotel in Xipo City over there
It’s a Jinyun Mansion, seniors can go have a drink.”
After listening to Wang Bin's words, the old man in shabby clothes turned his head and looked quietly at the front yard, as if walking through the endless black pine forest to the outside world. After a moment, he slowly looked away, his eyes became cloudy again, and his back became dull again.
bending:
“I didn’t expect that there are still people who remember ‘Tingsongguan’ today.
Hey!~
At that time, the Zen master was merciful and left Pindao alive. He sealed his soul in the "Zhenhai Tower" and ordered Pindao to guard the gate here for the rest of his life.
This is the fate of poor people.
Cultivation is not easy, little friend, you’d better leave here as soon as possible.”
"Thank you, senior. An elder of our sect was captured and brought here. This junior is here to save him."
The old man in ragged clothes looked at Wang Bin, then at Chunxuan, and shook his head gently:
"This place is not for your level of cultivation. Leave as soon as possible."
Wang Bin bowed his head and said:
"Thank you, senior! If my disciple is arrested, even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's den, I still have to try my best."
After saying that, he gave a warning and walked towards the courtyard with Chunxuan.
Looking at the two young figures, the old man in ragged clothes shook his head slightly, his back even more curved.
"The owner of Jinyun Mansion, Wang Bin, came here from Zhonghuang Yuzhou to ask to see the abbot."
Standing on the corridor paved with white jade, Wang Bin said loudly, and his voice was long and loud, and instantly spread throughout the temple. After a while, two groups of red-robed and black-hatted lamas lined up, and an old lama with a yellow hat walked slowly:
"Namo Huanxi Buddha! I am the abbot of the lower court, Xichen. I didn't know that this distinguished guest has come from afar, and I missed my welcome from afar. I apologize for my sins."
While the old monk was talking, he glanced at Chunxuan out of the corner of his eye. Not only the abbot, but also the lamas lined up on both sides looked at Chunxuan with a nonchalant look.
Although Chunxuan's appearance is excellent no matter where she is placed, coupled with her cold and charming temperament, it will not make these monks like this. After hearing the words of the old abbot, Wang Bin also instantly understood the reason: 'Nan
There is no Happy Buddha!' Is this a temple specializing in 'Happy Zen'?
He didn't have time to think too much and replied:
"I'm sorry, but you, the eminent monk of your academy, took away my elder Qiuxuan of Jinyun Mansion. I came here from Zhonghuang Yuzhou this time specifically to ask for someone. I hope the abbot will be lenient."
"Namo Happy Buddha! May I ask the donor, what kind of cultivation is the elder of your sect?"
"Combined period."
"It's so good! These are ordinary mortals here, and they are absolutely incapable of taking away the elders of your noble clan.
The person with the highest cultivation level in the lower courtyard is my master, but he is no more than a venerable one, and he has not left the mountain gate for hundreds of years."
"Someone saw with their own eyes that the Zen master came straight to this place."
The great monk looked at Chunxuan and then at Wang Bin:
"Namo Huanxi Buddha! This master is here in the lower courtyard. They are all ordinary people. The Zen master mentioned by the distinguished guest should be in the upper courtyard. You can go directly to the upper courtyard to ask a question."
The old monk pointed to the sky:
"Go straight up from here and you can see it through the clouds."
"Thank you!"
Wang Bin and Chunxuan were about to fly up when suddenly a spiritual thought sounded in their ears at the same time:
"Don't go!"
It was the old Taoist in rags at the door who was transmitting his message.
Wang Bin's expression did not change, and he sent a message with his spiritual thoughts:
"Thank you, senior! I can't see my disciples in danger and not save them."
Practice silently and reach the sky.
After passing through the clouds, a magnificent golden-domed temple appeared on the top of the mountain.
The most eye-catching thing in the temple is the big green flag with a triangle and six tails, standing quietly at the top of the mountain. The big blue flag is surrounded by golden temples.
Not only the top of the mountain, but also all around the mountain walls are various hanging Buddhist temples. Standing in the clouds and looking at the Golden Light Buddhist Temple from a distance, it feels like you are in a grand Buddhist kingdom.
Not far ahead, there is a thirty-foot-high hanging temple gate, with a plaque reading "Zhenhai Zen Temple" hanging on it.
