"Xiao He, before we rush to Hanshan Temple, we have to meet someone first." Mr. Zheng greeted as we set off.
He Qing was surprised and asked: "Who are you looking for?"
Mr. Zheng replied: "This person you just met not long ago is Master Lu, the master of the magic weapon world in this city. Because Master Lu is familiar with Master Linghe, it would be better for him to take us there."
"Oh, so that's it." He Qing suddenly realized, "Did Master Lu say hello to Master Linghe before? Master Linghe knew we would go find him in the afternoon, right?"
Mr. Zheng nodded and said: "Well, of course, how else could we make an appointment to meet in the afternoon? But we haven't told Master Linghe about your bottle yet. We will talk to him in detail when we get there. Master Linghe is highly respected.
, who is knowledgeable about the past and has studied Buddhism very deeply, so he can definitely see the true value of your magical instrument."
He Qing nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, I believe it too!"
"Then let's go." Mr. Zheng said, "Master Lu should be at that place now. We have to rush there as soon as possible to prevent him from waiting too long."
So the three of them drove straight to the place they had agreed with Master Lu. Not long after, they met Master Lu at a fork in the road not far from Hanshan Temple.
"Brother He, we meet again!" When he saw He Qing, Master Lu was enthusiastic and greeted with a smile on his face, "After seeing your magic weapon that day, I couldn't calm down for a long time. That's true.
It’s a fine magical artifact! If I’m not mistaken, it should be the long-lost Buddhist treasure ‘Cao Xi Jade Fat Bottle’!”
"Master Lu, it's an honor to see you again." He Qing smiled politely. He didn't say much, but he was thinking in his heart: "Master Lu is really stubborn. He still thinks that my relic bone china is lost.
National treasure 'Caoxi Jade Fat Bottle'!"
Although he knew very well that the thing he got by chance was not the so-called "Cao Xi Jade Fat Bottle", he did not give any explanation. Even if he explained his opinion now, Master Lu and the others might not believe it.
So we still have to wait for Master Linghe of Hanshan Temple to do the appraisal, but this is still an unknown quantity. I don’t know if Master Linghe can restore the truth of this bottle.
But apart from this method, He Qing had no other choice. For the time being, he could only place his hope on Master Linghe, hoping that the other party would recognize that the thing was made of Buddhist treasure relics, so that his purpose could be achieved.
"Congratulations, brother. Let's go to Hanshan Temple now." Master Lu greeted him later.
"Well, okay." He Qing responded happily, "Master Lu, please lead the way. Once this matter is completed, I will definitely thank you again."
"Brother He, you are too polite." Master Lu quickly shook his head and said, "This is just a small effort, it is nothing."
Now a group of them drove to Hanshan Temple. Hanshan Temple was not far from where they met. After a while, they drove to the entrance of Hanshan Temple.
Hanshan Temple and Suzhou Garden are almost symbols of Suzhou City. They are the two most famous sights in this city. All foreign tourists must visit these two places.
Hanshan Temple, formerly known as "Miaoli Puming Pagoda Courtyard", is located in Fengqiao Town, a few kilometers outside Changmen in the west of Suzhou City. It was built during the Tianjian period of the Liang Dynasty during the Six Dynasties and has a history of more than 1,400 years.
.
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, it is said that the famous monks Hanshan and Shide came here from Tiantai Mountain to be the abbots, so they changed the name to Hanshan Temple.
Historically, Hanshan Temple was one of the top ten famous temples in China. There are many historical sites in the temple, including the stone inscriptions of Zhang Jishi, Hanshan, found stone statues, fragments of inscriptions written by Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin, etc. The main buildings in the temple include the Main Hall and the Veranda Hall ( Side Hall), Sutra Library, Stele Corridor, Bell Tower, Fengjiang Tower, etc.
In He Qing's impression, the bells of Hanshan Temple are the most famous. The Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji's popular song "Night Mooring on the Maple Bridge" spread the reputation of Hanshan Temple to China and abroad.
He Qing finally came to Hanshan Temple. This was also the first time he visited a famous temple in person. Perhaps because he likes to read martial arts novels, he has a special yearning for ancient temples, especially as they appear in almost every martial arts novel. He was even more fascinated by the mention of Songshan Shaolin Temple.
"Will the ancient relics inside also emit red aura?!" He Qing couldn't help but think to himself. He suddenly thought of something, that is, could he absorb any skills from the ancient relics left behind in Shaolin Temple and other temples? For example, you can learn the standing skills of a monk from standing still.
After inadvertently thinking about this, He Qing felt strange and curious at the same time. He thought how great it would be if he learned the eighteen martial arts of Shaolin. Shaolin is an authentic sect, and the world's martial arts come from Shaolin. As long as he learns one of them, Xiang Kung Fu is very good, at least it can be used for self-defense.
But thinking about it carefully, He Qing found it funny. Those are just described in martial arts novels. How can there be so many powerful kung fu in the world.
Although the "Nine Yang Magic" and "Yi Jin Jing" and other peerless magical skills are only fictional in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, Shaolin Kung Fu still exists, which is undeniable.
After about a few minutes, He Qing and Mr. Zheng bought tickets and entered Hanshan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple.
"Hey brother, let's go find Master Linghe first, right?" Master Lu greeted with a smile after walking into Hanshan Temple.
He Qing immediately nodded and agreed: "Well, okay, let's go directly to Master Linghe."
Although it was his first time to visit Hanshan Temple, He Qing was busy with something. He was not in the mood to appreciate the surrounding scenery. The top priority was to find the mysterious monk.
"Grandpa, is Master Linghe the abbot of Hanshan Temple?" Lin Haitao suddenly asked casually.
Mr. Zheng shook his head and replied: "No. Master Linghe is not the abbot of Hanshan Temple. The abbot is someone else. He is an elder."
Master Lu on the side introduced: "Master Linghe devotes himself to the study of Buddhism. He spends most of the year practicing in seclusion. He rarely goes out, and the abbot sometimes goes out to do business."
"Cultivation in seclusion?!" Hearing Master Lu's serious words, He Qing and Lin Haitao looked at each other, feeling a little incredible. In this era, are there still monks practicing in seclusion? Are they so obsessed with Buddhism?
He Qing has always felt that the lifestyle of monks today is very different from that of the past. Not only can they eat meat, but they can also marry and have children. Being a monk is no longer a realm, but a rather special profession.
"Old Zheng, Brother He, we are here. Master Linghe is practicing in that room. Let's go in and find him." After walking forward for a while, they came to a solemn old house. Only Master Lu heard instructed.
"Eh?! Is there really a 'Baoguang'?!"
But before he even got close to the door, He Qing noticed that there was a red light flashing inside the door and it was full of spiritual energy.
