Dieyan Temple in Xishan is the place where incense is most popular in Xizhou. Dieyan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, got its name mainly because of the cliff statues behind it. Xue Lingjun did not choose to go to Dieyan Temple to offer incense, but went directly to the cliff behind.
While walking along the winding valley plank road, I saw Buddha statues of various sizes carved on the cliffs on both sides. The Buddha statues were exquisitely carved and lifelike. The surrounding vegetation was lush and the mountains and streams were accompanying me all the way. Hu Xiaotian did not expect that there was actually something hidden here.
Such a wonderful place to be.
Compared with the bustle of people in Dieyan Temple, this place was obviously much deserted. Occasionally, pilgrims could be seen in twos and threes. They came to the Guanyin Pavilion halfway up the mountain. There is a statue of Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands carved here. The main reason for Xue Lingjun's visit
The purpose is to visit Guanyin.
She knelt down in front of the futon, put her hands together and placed them on her chin, praying silently.
Hu Xiaotian had no intention of disturbing her devout worship. He stood aside and quietly observed the statue of Guanyin. The statue was more than ten feet high and wide. It was solemn in appearance, with one thousand and eight Buddha hands shining with golden light, and an eye in the palm.
, a total of one thousand and eight eyes.
Hu Xiaotian marveled at the exquisite carvings of Yu Ze's statue. After waiting for a while, he saw Xue Lingjun still kneeling there and praying. He really didn't expect that she was a devout believer. Finally, he became impatient and got up and walked outside the Guanyin Pavilion.
Seeing a monk cleaning fallen leaves on the platform in front of him, Hu Xiaotian walked over. The monk saw Hu Xiaotian lowering his head and went around to the side to continue cleaning.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Master, is there any Buddha statue on it?"
The monk said: "The entire Western Mountain is covered with them. If you were to worship them one by one, you wouldn't be able to finish them in seven days and seven nights."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's just that there seem to be many fewer pilgrims here than in Dieyan Temple."
The monk said: "The Buddha statues here have a history of thousands of years. The incense has been deserted more than two hundred years ago. If you really want to burn incense, you can go to the Big Buddha Rock on the top of the mountain, where the largest reclining Buddha in the West Mountain is enshrined." He
Gather the fallen leaves into a small pile and put them into the basket. He picked up the basket and continued walking up the mountain. Hu Xiaotian followed the monk's back with his eyes, always feeling that he had something to say. At this time, he saw Xue Lingjun coming from the Guanyin Pavilion.
Walked out and greeted him with a smile.
Xue Lingjun said: "Are you tired of waiting?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It is an honor for me to be able to accompany Sister Jun. How can I be impatient!"
Xue Lingjun knew that he was telling the truth, so he pointed to the mountain and said: "It seems that we are not far from the top of the mountain. Let's go up and have a look."
It was rare for Hu Xiaotian to have a free day, and the scenery here was indeed refreshing. He remembered the reclining Buddha mentioned by the monk just now, and just went to broaden his horizons, so he nodded and accompanied Xue Lingjun to continue walking up. After walking for a while, he did not see the man.
The monk sweeping the floor. Not far from the top of the mountain, he saw a small temple with the words "Big Buddha Rock" written on the plaque. The door of the temple was ajar. Hu Xiaotian looked inside through the crack in the door and found that the courtyard was empty.
One person was about to leave when he heard footsteps coming from the right. Looking up, he saw a middle-aged monk walking slowly over.
Usually there should be very few pilgrims coming here. The middle-aged monk smiled at the two of them and said, "Amitabha, poor monk Wu Ning has seen two donors."
Xue Lingjun and Hu Xiaotian returned the salute at the same time. Xue Lingjun said: "Master, we came to Baocha specifically to pay homage to the Reclining Buddha. Is it possible to make it convenient?"
Wu Ning smiled and said, "Of course you can." He opened the door and said, "You two, please come with me!"
The two of them followed Wu Ning and walked in. From the outside, they thought the temple was very small. But when they walked in, the road was deep. After passing through three courtyards, they came to the entrance of the Reclining Buddha. Looking around, they saw the stone steps winding all the way down.
.The reclining Buddha is carved into the heart of the mountain.
Walking along the stone steps to the end, you will see five connected huge arched caves. Only when you walk into them can you see the full view of the reclining Buddha. The reclining Buddha is lying in it. It is about thirty feet long and magnificent. Although Hu Xiaotian can be regarded as
I have seen a lot, but this is the first time I have seen such a huge reclining Buddha.
Xue Lingjun naturally had to pay homage devoutly. After offering incense, Xue Lingjun took out a fifty thousand tael silver note and presented it to the Big Buddha Rock as the cost of repairing the place, which can be regarded as a meritorious deed.
Wu Ning thanked her repeatedly and invited the two of them to come to the courtyard for tea. Hu Xiaotian knew that Xue Lingjun had a history of mysophobia, so he thought she would refuse, but he did not expect that she would happily agree.
Wu Ning's cultivation in Buddhism was quite profound, and Xue Lingjun had a very interesting conversation with him. Hu Xiaotian had no faith at first, so he was naturally not interested in their topic. He picked up the tea cup and drank two cups of tea silently. At this time, he saw
The monk who was sweeping the floor walked in with a basket on his back. He was also the monk of the Big Buddha Rock. When he saw Hu Xiaotian, he did not say hello and immediately cast his gaze into the distance, as if he was avoiding something.
Wu Ning smiled at the two of them and said, "Please wait a moment. The poor monk is going to get two sets of hand beads to give to the two donors. Come back as soon as you go."
Looking at the two people leaving, Hu Xiaotian whispered to Xue Lingjun: "Strange, I always feel something is wrong."
Xue Lingjun smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "One is too enthusiastic, and the other seems sneaky."
Xue Lingjun said: "Most people outside the country are like this. You can't look at them with worldly eyes."
Hu Xiaotian nodded: "I hope so!"
Because of the hot weather, Xue Lingjun quickly drank up the tea in the cup. She picked up the teapot and poured another cup. Suddenly she felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Hu Xiaotian was shocked and hurriedly pulled her away.
Hold on, the first reaction is that the tea is poisonous. He has had many adventures, and his body's resistance to poison is very strong. Ordinary toxins can no longer cause any harm to him, so there is no abnormal reaction. Xue Lingjun does not have him.
ability.
While Hu Xiaotian hugged Xue Lingjun, he couldn't help but think of his experience at Lanruo Temple when he first came to Xichuan. The group of monks also used poison to charm them, but he was lucky enough to avoid it. He decided to repeat the old trick and use the same trick. If he didn't
He pretended to be fainted and fell to the ground, fearing that the two evil monks would not show up. So he hugged Xue Lingjun and pretended to be poisoned, and collapsed on the ground.
After a while, I heard a cheerful voice from the distance: "That's right! That's right!"
Wu Ning and the sweeping monk appeared at the same time.
At this time, Xue Lingjun clenched his teeth and fainted. Hu Xiaotian also closed his eyes, and could accurately grasp the opponent's every move with just his ears.
Wu Ning said: "You can see clearly, is it him?"
The sweeping monk gritted his teeth and said, "I will recognize him even if he turns into ashes. It's him. It was he who killed Master and my brothers and sisters. It was this boy."
Hu Xiaotian was secretly wondering. The sweeping monk must be him, but he couldn't remember anything he had with this person. Could it be a remnant of his lucky escape from Lanruo Temple?
The next words of the sweeping monk really confirmed Hu Xiaotian's guess. He said with a look of resentment: "We used to have a good time with Master at Lanruo Temple. I don't know how carefree and happy it was, but this kid came to Lanruo Temple and killed Master. Uncle Master
, I want to avenge my master! Kill them both!"
Wu Ning chuckled and said: "Your master is my senior brother. Of course I will avenge him. I will leave this boy to you and the other one to me."
The sweeping monk said in astonishment: "Uncle Master, don't you want to cut the grass and get rid of the root?"
Wu Ning said: "Can't you see that she is a stunning beauty? Wouldn't it be a pity to kill her like this? When I am happy, I will give her to the young master and I will get a lot of rewards. Hehe!"
The two of them had arrived at Hu Xiaotian's side. At this moment, Hu Xiaotian suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly at the sweeping monk. The sweeping monk was startled. He reached out and pulled out the dagger from his waist, raised the dagger and stabbed Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard. With a click, his wrist was broken. The broken bones pierced the skin and came out. The sweeping monk let out a scream like a slaughtering pig. Before he finished his scream,
Hu Xiaotian had already held his hand and stabbed the dagger into his chest. His screams suddenly stopped, and the sweeping monk fell straight down. He died immediately.
Wu Ning rushed towards Xue Lingjun who was on the ground. Although at the critical moment, his mind was not confused. Only by seizing the time to restrain Xue Lingjun could he have hope of survival. Most people in this situation would just run for their lives.
At this point Wu Ning is still very sober.
It's a pity that his speed can't be compared with Hu Xiaotian. After Hu Xiaotian killed the sweeping monk cleanly, he turned to Wu Ning.
Throwing the black ash towards Hu Xiaotian's face, Hu Xiaotian puffed out a breath. His inner breath was so powerful now, and it was like a strong wind blowing through, washing away the black ash, and all of it flew towards Wu Ning's face.
, Wu Ning screamed and covered his eyes with both hands. The black ash was poisonous and burned abnormally when it entered his eyes. In an instant, blisters the size of soybeans bulged on his face.
Hu Xiaotian was annoyed that he was vicious, so he stepped forward and stepped on his right leg. After the crisp sound of bones breaking, Wu Ning's right leg was violently broken by him. Wu Ning wailed: "Donor, please spare my life."
,Almsgiver, please spare my life..."
Hu Xiaotian sneered: "Isn't it too late to know that you are afraid now?"
Wu Ning screamed: "God is kind to me, and I have no grudges against the donor. I hope the donor will be merciful and spare my life."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You evil monk, did you ever think about the word compassion when you put the medicine in the tea just now? How can you have the face to say it now?"
Wu Ning could no longer see with his eyes and waved his hands wildly: "Donor, have mercy on me, benefactor, have mercy on me... The poor monk was just bewitched by evil people and had no intention of harming the benefactor's life..."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Stop talking nonsense and get the antidote first!"
Wu Ning said: "Donor, what you are winning is Yuanyang Hehuan Powder, and I have no antidote."
When Hu Xiaotian heard the name, he knew it was an aphrodisiac, and he couldn't help but get furious: "You bastard, if you don't hand over the antidote, believe it or not, I will send you to see the Buddha right now."
Wu Ning wailed: "Donor, I really don't have an antidote. This medicine was given to me by the young master. The antidote is only available from him. In fact, there is another way. As long as you spend a spring night together, you can detoxify the body."
."
Hu Xiaotian scolded: "It's the same old trick. Have you never seen the world before you lied to me?" He stepped on Wu Ning's left leg again.
