After descending from Tiger Leaping Cliff, Jiang Yue arrived at Songshan Mountain.
August in Henan is the hottest season. During this season, few people are willing to climb mountains. Most tourists go to the beach, but Songshan Mountain is still bustling with people, most of whom are pilgrims.
After Jiang Yue visited the peaks of Songshan Mountain, he gained a little more understanding of the Five Mountains and Hengjiang River.
Finally, in front of an ancient temple in the northwest of Jiangyue Taishi Mountain.
"Tianyuan Temple should be here."
Jiang Yue glanced at the plaque above and confirmed that he had found the right place.
This place is not a place of interest, it is very remote, very few people come here, the incense is not very popular, the temple also looks a bit old due to disrepair, and there are even many damaged places. In front of the temple, there are
Two young monks were sweeping the floor. They couldn't help but be startled when they saw Jiang Yue's arrival, because outsiders were rarely seen here, which surprised the two young monks.
"Donor, are you lost?"
The young monk was stunned for a moment, then asked with good intentions, apparently mistaking Jiang Yue for a lost tourist.
"No, I'm here to see your abbot. Is he here?" Jiang Yue asked politely.
"This..." The two young monks looked at each other, obviously not expecting Jiang Yue to ask such a question, but they still replied politely, "Of course, if the donor has something to do, I can inform you on your behalf. If you want to offer incense,
Then we can take you to the main hall first."
"Okay, but I didn't bring too much money for incense?" Jiang Yue smiled. He didn't come here specifically to offer incense, so he didn't bring a lot of cash with him.
"Donor, you are serious. There are no rules for offering incense in this temple, and there is no need for incense money. Please give me please." The young monk seemed very polite, which made Jiang Yue feel better. Compared with those large temples, Jiang Yue felt that this place was more like
It is a real temple.
"This temple was built during the Northern Wei Dynasty. It has been preserved through several wars and has a history of more than a thousand years." The young monk introduced some aspects of the temple as he walked.
The temple is not very big. While talking, Jiang Yue and the two young monks had already arrived at the entrance of the hall. Along the way, they met many monks who looked at Jiang Yue curiously. After all, there are very few outsiders here.
Jiang Yue walked along and looked at everything in the temple. Although Tianyuan Temple looked a little shabby, it was very clean. After entering the temple, you could still hear some chanting. However, Jiang Yue gathered his energy.
In my ears, I faintly heard the sound of shouting coming from the mountains in the distance.
"Does that place also belong to Tianyuan Temple?" Jiang Yue stopped and pointed to the back mountain.
"Of course, that's the mountain behind our temple." The young monk was startled, but then he answered with a smile.
Jiang Yue smiled and nodded without asking any more questions. After the three of them arrived at the main hall, Jiang Yue burned a stick of incense, took out all the money he had on him, and donated it to the temple as incense money, which made the young monk very happy.
.Because with this money, the temple can be slightly repaired.
"Donor, is there anything else?" The young monk asked suspiciously after seeing that Jiang Yue had no intention of leaving.
"Of course, I'm here to see your abbot." Jiang Yue replied with a smile.
"The abbot usually doesn't see guests easily..." The young monk seemed a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, you tell him, my surname is Jiang." After saying that, he took off the jade pendant from his neck and handed it to the young monk, "You can show this jade pendant to your abbot and he will know."
The young monk hesitated for a moment, and seemed to see that Jiang Yue was not an unreasonable person. In addition, the jade pendant looked very exquisite, with eleven gold leaves shining on it, and a big "jiang" character on the back. It was warm, round and smooth.
, it looked like it was no ordinary jade pendant, and he didn’t dare to neglect it at the moment, “Donor, please wait a moment.”
"Yes." Jiang Yue nodded, and then waited at the door of the main hall. Another young monk accompanied Jiang Yue.
Not long after, an old monk with a gray beard wearing a cassock, led by a young monk, quickly arrived in front of the main hall. Behind him were several strong-looking monks, holding wooden sticks and looking.
It looks very mighty.
"Amitabha, I heard that I am the abbot of Tianyuan Temple. I wonder what the donor has to do with me." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and returned the jade pendant to Jiang Yue.
"I have met Master Kongwen." Jiang Yue greeted him politely, and then said, "I came here this time to fulfill the last wish of the ancestors of the Jiang family. I wonder if Master Kongwen knows about this."
"Although this matter happened hundreds of years ago, since the inheritance of this temple is still there, then everything is still there. As the abbot of this temple, I naturally know about this matter. Donor, please come with me." The abbot master smiled and turned around.
, waved his hand to signal his colleagues.
"Master please."
Jiang Yue politely asked, and then under the leadership of Master Abbot, Jiang Yue came to an independent small courtyard in the back mountain. Here, you can clearly hear the shouts and shouts coming from the mountain. They should be warrior monks.
Practice martial arts behind the mountain.
The small courtyard is not very big, about a hundred square meters, and the rooms look very ordinary. The courtyard is paved with square bricks, which look old and have serious signs of wear and tear. However, Jiang Yue is very confused. The abbot master takes him
What does it mean to come here?
"This is the guest room of our temple. It is also where the ancestors of the Jiang family once lived. It is also where the agreement was made with Abbot Wu Ling of this temple. I am afraid they did not expect at the time that this agreement would be passed down for such a long time." Master Abbot
He seemed to notice Jiang Yue's doubts and explained with a smile.
Jiang Yue nodded, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He could feel the situation that the ancestors of the Jiang family were in at that time.
Accompanied by green lanterns, I practiced martial arts hard in this courtyard. The traces on the ground were probably left by the ancestors of the Jiang family when they practiced martial arts hard. These are indelible traces that make Jiang Yue, a descendant,
From these traces, we can glimpse the situation hundreds of years ago.
Stand up confidently and turn around as you wish.
Jiang Yue didn't even say hello, and just started fighting Jiang Family Boxing on the spot!
Jiang Yue played very slowly this time, but every movement was extremely accurate, making the abbot master on the side stroke his beard with his hands and nodded with a smile.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yue stood up after finishing his work, opened his eyes, and breathed out slowly, but there was a bit of surprise in his eyes!
Just now, he had an idea, and he actually spied here the scene where the ancestors of the Jiang family practiced boxing here hundreds of years ago! That feeling was very strange.
"The scene hundreds of years ago can be repeated at this moment. As a bystander, I am really lucky!" Master Abbot sighed.
"How can Master be sure that this is a repeat of that scene hundreds of years ago?" Jiang Yue asked puzzledly.
"The incense in this temple is not very popular. Few people come here. Except for the ancestors of the Jiang family who lived here for a period of time, almost no one else has lived here. And the traces on the ground are also left by the ancestors of the Jiang family when they practiced martial arts.
The benefactor just used the Jiang Family Boxing unintentionally, and the steps he used were consistent with the marks on the ground, so I said it was a repeat of the scene hundreds of years ago." Master Abbot explained with a smile.
After Jiang Yue heard this, he glanced at the traces under his feet, then smiled and did not refute, but asked, "Excuse me, Master Abbot, what did the ancestors of the Jiang family leave in your temple?"
