Chapter Sixteen Early Summer Teases the Mountain Demons II
Long Chuxia basically checked the terrain and the movements of the little monsters, and then quickly caught up with the carriage. The guard driving the carriage stopped the carriage, glanced at Long Chuxia and said: "I forgot to tell you just now, at this time, you must be especially careful, people
It's so messy and it's easy for gangsters to get involved, especially if you are pretty, so you should pay more attention to your safety. If nothing happens for a while, don't get off the carriage casually."
Long Chuxia smiled and said: "Thank you for reminding me. It's nothing. I won't get off the car again."
Aunt Yang was the person who served the Queen. She was monitoring Long Chuxia under the Queen's order. Now that she saw her acting strangely, she asked tentatively: "Doctor Long, where did you go just now?"
"Pee!" Long Chuxia said something shocking, which startled the aunts and grandmothers on the carriage. Everyone looked at her with strange eyes. Aunt Yang said awkwardly: "Doctor Long's words are really special!
"
Although Long Chuxia has lived in the palace for three years, except for sweeping the floors, she has basically never been to any part of the palace in the past three years. Even if she travels, she only goes out of the palace to get along with the palace people, and there are very few of them who greet the Juyuan on weekdays.
Several palace maids spoke in such a homely and casual manner. When speaking in private, who would pay attention to the wording or elegance? Plus, hanging around with the ruffian Dai Dongguan made them even more rude and plain. Now these words are spoken without any modification.
When it came out, she didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
She said nothing and continued to sit back by the window, opening the curtain and looking at everything outside.
Nanny Yang and Nanny Li next to the Queen Mother looked at each other, both looking a little embarrassed. It seemed that such a rude word should not be uttered by such an elegant woman like Long Chuxia. It was really a disgrace to the scenery.
When we arrived at Guanyin Temple, the carriage was parked far away in the woods. All the way into the mountain, there were carriages parked on both sides. Even if we tried to find a better place, we couldn't find it. If we hadn't ordered someone to come and occupy the place before, we probably wouldn't have found it.
The carriage is about to stop at the foot of the mountain. There is a large open space here, and many people have gathered. They walk up to Guanyin Temple in groups to talk about the Guanyin Temple in Xishan. It was built with money by the late emperor in the twelfth year of his reign.
The statue of Bodhisattva, made of bronze, sits on the top of Daxian Peak at an altitude of 292 meters. The statue is 61.9 meters high and is the tallest seated statue of Guanyin in the country. According to Buddhism, the 19th day of the second lunar month is the birth date of Guanyin, and the 19th day of the sixth lunar month.
Guanyin's enlightenment day, September 19th is the Nirvana day of Guanyin. Therefore, the foundation day, the consecration day and the height of the statue imply these three days. The statue of Guanyin, with its back facing south and facing north, sits cross-legged on a lotus flower.
On the seat, wearing a heavenly crown of pearls, draped in heavenly clothes and a skirt, with curved eyebrows and red lips, eyes like twin stars, and a kind and kind face, he looks down at the South China Sea and wishes peace and happiness to the world. He is 47 meters high. The lotus seat is 14.9 meters high and 36 meters in diameter.
meters, with a total of 60 lotus petals on the upper and lower floors around the rosette. It took five years to build Guanyin. It is surrounded by water and connected by four bridges, which symbolizes the "pure land in four directions, the water of eight merits, and the steps on four sides".
The wide platform outside Jingshui Bridge is for visitors to admire the statue of Guanyin. The outer ring is a lotus gallery, and there is a merit wall inside. The outer wall of the lotus gallery uses exquisite murals and relief artistic techniques to show the stories and legends of Guanyin.
After parking the carriage, a guard came over carrying a carriage. The Queen Mother waved her hand, "No need. Since you are here to offer incense, you should step up to the seat of the chief minister and kowtow." She looked back and saw Long Chuxia standing there.
In front of the carriage, he waved and said: "Chu Xia, come here."
Long Chuxia is looking up at the kind face of Master Guanyin. Among all the immortals and Buddhas, she respects Guanyin the most. Master Guanyin has a compassionate heart and benefits the world. Many of these stories have been passed down among the people. Although they were legendary at the time
It is inevitable that some people will add jealousy, but many of the stories are true.
Hearing the Queen Mother's shout, she withdrew her eyes and walked towards the Queen Mother. Aunt Yang and Aunt Li also came to the Queen Mother and were helping to carry things.
"Old madam, there are three floors to go to. There are ninety-nine and eighty-one stone steps on each floor. If you go up on foot, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it!" Granny Li advised, "It's better to sit on the shoulder!"
The Queen Mother glanced at her and said calmly: "Look at that mother-in-law, she is at least eighty years old? She can even walk up there, let alone the Aijia?"
Long Chuxia also said: "To worship Guanyin, you must first be sincere. The most important thing about sincerity is to practice it physically. Don't worry, the old lady is strong enough to stand under the lotus platform."
"It's easy to say, but..." Nanny Li was still trying to persuade her, so the Queen Mother said with a straight face: "Stop talking nonsense and let's go!"
Aunt Li had no choice but to give up and ordered the maids to come forward to help her get the things, while she helped the Queen Mother up the stairs.
The guards pretended to be pilgrims and were clearing the way on both sides. The pilgrims on both sides could not get close to the Queen Mother. Long Chuxia was also standing on the left side of the Queen Mother with a rather playful expression.
The queen glanced at Long Chuxia and said calmly: "Dr. Long, what's so funny?"
Long Chuxia shook her head and looked at the queen with raised eyebrows, "Did you laugh, slave?"
The queen inadvertently fiddled with her hair, and suddenly one of her golden hairpins fell to the ground. She stopped and said in annoyance: "What an accident, Doctor Long, please help me pick it up!"
Long Chuxia knelt down and touched the golden hairpin with her hand. She felt her fingers go numb for a while. She knew it well, picked up the golden hairpin and handed it to the queen. She said meaningfully: "Madam, you should keep such a valuable thing. If it is dropped,
In the hands of a little thief, I don’t know whether it harmed him or made him easier!”
The queen glanced at her finger, her eyes calm and calm, "Thanks for the doctor's advice, I heard you say before that you are not from Feng Country, so where are you from?"
"Madam, you are joking. When did you say that you are not from the Feng Kingdom? You are a medical woman from the Feng Kingdom, so you are naturally from the Feng Kingdom. Don't put your thoughts in the wrong place. This slave does not pose any threat to the Feng Kingdom!
"There is something authentic in Long Chuxia's words.
The queen said calmly: "If that's the case, I have nothing to worry about."
"Madam, her worries are unfounded, but her affection for Mr. Feng is really touching!"
The Queen Mother turned back and looked at the two of them, "What are you muttering about? I can't hear a word!"
The Queen smiled and stepped forward to support the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "We are talking about the good deeds of Guanyin Master. Mother, do you want to take a break?"
"Stand for a while, I am really old. I am out of breath after walking a few steps!" Although the Queen Mother said this, she was very proud because she walked dozens of steps in a row, dripping with sweat, but feeling comfortable all over.
It had been a long time since she had experienced such a pleasant feeling, and she didn't expect that she could walk so far in one breath.
Everyone stopped by the railing, and guards stood sparsely in front, forming a protective line of defense.
While everyone was laughing and joking, they saw a man wearing a light yellow satin robe walking over. He had a humble face and looked like a foreign businessman. Behind him were two young men, both of whom were fair-looking.
Jing, he walked up to the guard and clasped his fists and asked, "Excuse me, brother, where can I buy incense and candles?"
The guard looked him over and said, "You came to offer incense without bringing any incense candles? Are you pilgrims?"
"It's embarrassing to say that when I came to the capital, I found out that today was the Nirvana Day of Guanyin. On a whim, I brought two boys here, but I didn't prepare anything. How embarrassing!" The businessman smiled lightly and said:
A gentle look
Seeing that he didn't look like a bad guy, the guard relaxed his guard and said, "Go straight and you'll find him if you keep going!"
The businessman bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your advice, brother!"
As soon as he finished Braille, the two young men behind him saw him bending down, and suddenly two small arrows shot out from their sleeves, and flew straight towards the Queen Mother.
