Chapter 884 Da Baoen Temple, the rumored real bones of the Buddha’s crown!
Jinling.
Yang Fan stood at the city gate, looking at this prosperous city, his eyes flashing.
As an old capital, its prosperity is second to none in the entire Ming Dynasty, whether it is the lingering charm of the Six Dynasties or the smoke and waves of Qinhuai.
Yang Fan got on the chariot and entered the city escorted by a group of old eunuchs.
The wide bluestone streets are extremely spacious and extend in all directions. There are vendors carrying burdens and sometimes selling, and there are rows of shops on both sides.
The breath of urban life blows in your face.
Yang Fan could even see the ruddy color on their faces. It was obvious that they were living a prosperous life. At least they had enough food and clothing. Even the helpers standing on the corner of the street were tidy and tidy.
Chariots drive along the streets. .??.
Just after passing Yingtian Mansion, we encountered a large temple on the road. It occupies such a large area in the center of the city, and you can faintly see the lingering incense.
Accompanied by a burst of bells, it spreads for miles.
"That's Cheng'en Temple. It was rebuilt from the private residence of Wang Jin, the eunuch who used to be the royal eunuch. However, he was originally from Jiaozhi. It is said that there is something strange in this Buddhist temple..."
"In addition, in addition to this temple, Jinling also has three major temples: Da Bao'en Temple, Linggu Temple, and Tianjie Temple. Each of them has hundreds of temples under its jurisdiction. It is the holy place of Buddhism in the entire south."
"Especially the Great Baoen Temple, which was built exactly like the Imperial Palace. It is the largest in scale and has the highest standards. It is the first of the hundred temples!"
Liu Juncheng beside him had already done his homework and quickly explained to Yang Fan in a low voice.
Yan Lei on the side gritted his teeth secretly.
No wonder he saw what the other party was watching secretly in the middle of the night, and when he asked the other party, the other party was still secretive. He didn't expect that he was being so scheming.
"Buddhist shrine?"
Yang Fan repeated the names of these major temples and decided to come here to visit them if he had the chance.
He's not afraid of being weird, he's just afraid of not being lucky.
“But it’s the Great Baoen Temple!”
If it hadn't come Jinling, I'm afraid he can't remember it either.
You know, he had heard of this Great Baoen Temple in his previous life!
It is said that its predecessor was Changgan Temple. The only "real bone of the Buddha's crown" in the world was unearthed in the underground palace of the temple, which is the relic of the Buddha's true body!
And this Buddha is none other than Sakyamuni!
In addition, some rare treasures such as "Induction Relics", "Relics of All Saints", and "Seven Treasures Ashoka Pagoda" were also unearthed there!
"The last life was just a smile, but now this world is a world where gods and Buddhas really exist. Those rare treasures may actually exist..."
“I just don’t know what the situation is now!”
Yang Fan forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart.
After all, even if such a top-notch treasure really exists here, I'm afraid it's not easy to get!
In particular, the underground palace is located under the current Dabaoen Temple. With Dabaoen Temple now known as a Buddhist holy land, the strength of the temple is probably extraordinary.
Soon, the chariot arrived at the camp where they were staying, not far behind Baoen Temple and close to Fuxue and Gongyuan, the environment was quite quiet.
After quickly packing everything up, Yang Fan also moved into this residence.
Dusk falls.
From a distance, you can see Buddha lights flashing in three directions surrounding Jinling.
"Buddha appears!"
When many people saw this scene, they couldn't help but kneel on the ground, kowtowed, and looked pious.
At first glance, it turns out that 50% to 60% of the people do this!
This shows the influence of Buddhism in Jinling.
Especially with the loosening of the laws of heaven and earth, Yang Fan had a hunch that such scenes would become more and more common in the future!
Gods and Buddhas appear, and hundreds of schools of thought compete for glory.
But what this brings is not a golden age, but the beginning of chaos!
Especially with the existence of the Zhou royal family and careerists like Zhao Kuangyi, no one can tell what the future changes will be like!
At that time, the people who will suffer the most may be ordinary people!
No wonder everyone would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times...
"In prosperity, the people suffer; in death, the people suffer..."
Yang Fan sighed.
He knew that in the face of the coming torrent in the future, he could only work hard to enhance his own strength, otherwise, he would probably become a pawn in the footsteps of others.
After leaving the camp, Yang Fan turned around and turned into Yang Lin.
After all, boys must pay attention to safety when they go out. ??
Yang Lin's public identity is that of Mr. Yangming's close disciple, which makes it easy to pull off the tiger's skin at critical moments.
If the holy power has not yet been revealed, then that's fine.
Now that Mr. Yangming has revealed his holy power, he is a real saint in this world. Even if others want to touch him, they have to consider whether they can withstand the wrath of the saint!
Yang Fan changed his appearance and began to walk around the city.
When I first arrived, I naturally wanted to observe this Jinling City with my own eyes!
Yang Fan came out and walked for a while, and by chance, he happened to pass by the Great Baoen Temple.
Although this place is a bit far away from where he lives, I happened to pass by it and I can only say that it was fate!
Just the right spot.
Yang Fan thought silently in his heart.
At night, the entire Da Baoen Temple is shrouded in the light of Buddha. The bright Buddha light almost reaches the sky, countless incense is burning in it, and there are faint conchs and Dharma drums blowing in it!
What a Buddhist holy place!
It really lives up to its reputation! Yang Fan just stood far outside the temple and could already feel the magnificent power coming from it. It was as high as the heaven and earth here!
Makes you feel your own insignificance!
"I didn't expect that this Great Baoen Temple was built by Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty..."
Yang Fan's eyes flashed as he looked at a stone tablet at the foot of the mountain. It also described the origin of the Great Baoen Temple. It was built by Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty to commemorate Taizu Ming Dynasty and Queen Ma.
It took nineteen years to build a large temple of this size. If it was just for this purpose, to be honest, Yang Fan didn't believe it.
There can't be any other purpose.
Yang Fan might even suspect that there might be some kind of transaction involved.
Yang Fan's eyes flashed.
Just when he was about to sneak into this big temple secretly, he suddenly heard a Buddha's call from behind - "Amitabha, the donor is polite!"
This voice sounded in the darkness, but it was like a thunder in Yang Fan's ears.
He turned around suddenly and saw a skinny old monk sitting cross-legged on a stone not far behind him.
This old monk was erect, with his upper body exposed, and his dark and thin body was so shriveled that he had no flesh at all. However, his frame was very large, and if he stood up, he would probably be nearly ten feet tall!
"Donor, there are many tigers and wolves at night, so it's better not to go into the mountains."
The old monk raised one hand in front of his chest, and his voice seemed to come from his chest. Every word seemed to be hitting the ground, and it was clearly audible.
"Tiger Wolf?"
Yang Fan's eyes flashed, "In front of this Buddhist holy place, tigers and wolves can also cause trouble?"
The old monk's eyes were deep: "The Buddha even sacrificed his life to feed tigers, which shows how ferocious tigers and wolves are! There are tens of thousands of Buddhist temples to suppress these demons."
"Young man is so young, don't let your life go to waste!"
