As the pilgrims inside and outside Daliang Temple gradually left, the hustle and bustle of the entire Daliang Temple also faded away, making it rare for Daliang Temple to quiet down before dusk.
Nowadays, the temple is so quiet that you can hear the chirping of birds. This also makes the monks in Daliang Temple breathe a sigh of relief and feel the special tranquility. Those monks with understanding and Buddha heart, no matter where they are in the temple, You can all hear faint sounds of Taoism.
“Creak, creak, creak, creak…bang.”
The heavy wooden door at the main entrance of Daliang Temple was pushed by two strong monks. It creaked and finally closed gently. The two monks inside raised the door bars and locked the door.
A large agarwood sign has been hung outside, with the words “This temple refuses to worship Buddha and participate in Zen from now on.”
No time was given, no reason was given, but there was a enchanted Buddhist gold medal hanging beside it, which was the one given by the late Emperor of Tingliang Kingdom.
As if waiting for Daliang Temple to close, not long after the front and back doors of the entire temple were closed, under the big tree in the backyard of Daliang Temple, the sound of Taoism and visions began, and there were bursts of foggy hazy scenes. It extends beyond this courtyard, even to the inner courtyard, covering about one-half of the area of Daliang Temple.
In this area, the closer to the center of Taoism, the more Tao sounds and visions are felt, and the greater the test for people.
At this moment, among the monks in Daliang Temple, only monk Huitong could barely stand not far away from the tree. The other eminent monks in Daliang Temple, including the old abbot, had long been unable to support themselves or went out on their own. Or they may be carried out by monks who come in with their ears closed.
On the periphery, monks either took their own futons, or simply sat on the ground, meditating and meditating at a suitable distance, and slowly moved out as time went by.
However, although almost all of the pilgrims outside are cooperative, with so many people coming to Daliang Temple every day, naturally there will be some rebellious ones and some who are very curious. If they still think they have some ability, they will be bold easily. Act, or entrust this curiosity to others to satisfy yourself.
More than an hour later, the sun set in the west, and the surroundings of Daliang Temple were shrouded in a golden dusk. The shadows in front of the temple were stretched long, and the vision became dim.
At this moment, a few nimble men quietly approached the deserted market outside the temple from a distance. Although there were no stall owners or market-goers here, there were still many sheds and stalls. of.
After a few people approached quietly, they quickly found a shed outside, squatted down, and hid using the shed and the tables and chairs inside as cover.
Looking at Daliang Temple from a distance from this position, it seems that the front of the entire building complex is dark and full of shadows, but the rear is illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, making it look like a golden light above, very Buddhist-like.
A man in gray clothes looked around for a moment and asked the people around him.
“Hey brother, what on earth happened to Daliang Temple?”
“I have to be clear, why are you here?”
The speaker was a man wearing dark brown clothes, with a thin face and a mustache.
There was another person wearing a blue outfit beside him who also chimed in.
“Everything was normal in Daliang Temple just now, but suddenly a large number of monks came out and asked the pilgrims to leave. They even used the Buddhist order of the national temple that had never been touched since it was given back then. It seemed extremely hasty.”
The man with the mustache thought for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed.
“Brother Tan, could something happen to the eldest princess inside?”
But the man in the blue suit immediately shook his head.
“No, no, I asked Master Six before. Master Six said that the eldest princess had gone to see Master Huitong today, but he was still visiting, so he had already returned to Tongqiu Mansion. In the temple The matter should have nothing to do with the eldest princess.”
“Well, let’s go in and take a look when it gets dark first!”
The three of them fell silent for a short time, watching the afterglow of the sunset gradually fade away and the night getting darker and darker.
“Brother, and Brother Tan, I heard that there are really eminent monks in Daliang Temple, the kind of eminent monks who can subjugate demons and eliminate ghosts, and Master Huitong, who is said to be over fifty and seems to be still alive. Just like a handsome young man in his weak years, is it okay for us to go in?”
“Haha, Brother Tang is right, but there is no need to worry too much. Mr. Liu has already said that eminent monks rely on Buddhism to defeat demons and ghosts. The effect of this Buddhism on living people with strong qi and blood is: It’s not big, but martial arts is the best. With the light kung fu skills of the three of us, we can leave before the monks can react.”
“Yeah, I don’t have any other confidence. I am still very confident in my Qinggong.”
Finally, night fell completely, but for the three of them, it was a bad night because the stars in the sky were so bright that they were even more dazzling than before.
Under the starlight, it feels like the surroundings are clearer than at the end of dusk, but I can’t care about that much now. It’s impossible to expect clouds to rise tonight.
“Let’s go, remember to step lightly!”
“Yeah!”
The three of them came out of their hiding place, tiptoed and made a few small leaps. They had reached the outside of the Daliang Temple wall. However, they were not at the main entrance, but at the corner of the wall.
I glanced at the agarwood sign hanging in Daliang Temple from a distance. The imperial gold medal on the side was still obvious under the starlight, and a little gold was embellished next to the wooden sign.
“The monks of Daliang Temple are really not afraid of the gold medals given to them being stolen?”
“You don’t care!”
Muttering a few words in a low voice, a few people walked around the side of the temple close to the wall. They were so focused that they didn’t hear any noise inside, so they nodded to each other and climbed over the wall at the same moment.
Like three light swallows, they landed on their toes after crossing the wall. The light body technique combined with body movements made almost no sound.
The location here is the small square outside the Angmu Mingwang Palace. The three of them looked at it and saw it was empty. Except for the long light in the palace that was on, there was no light in the other monks’ buildings and halls.
Daliang Temple is extremely quiet tonight, with no chanting or bell ringing.
But the three talented people are brave and have no sense of fear. Besides, this is Daliang Temple, so there won’t be any evil spirits.
There are too many people in Daliang Temple. In order to divert the flow, there are walls everywhere in the temple. This can avoid the feeling of everyone being crowded together. Although it is easier to get lost, there are usually monks waiting everywhere, and they will be there at any time. Help people with directions and solve problems.
It’s just that for the three of them, there must be no monk to guide them. They walked through several courtyards without seeing a single monk.
“Strange, where are the monks from Daliang Temple?”
As soon as the younger man surnamed Tang was about to step out of an arch, he was pulled by his brother, and then pointed to the corner in front.
The three of them looked over there carefully and saw a dozen monks sitting in a row against the wall over there with futons on their backs. Some were in a meditative posture, while others were leaning against the wall as if they were asleep. .
“How to say?”
“Don’t alert them, let’s go around and change the direction.”
The three of them changed their route and wanted to go deeper. However, after detouring to a place, they found that there were still monks sitting there meditating. They changed directions several times in a row. Sometimes there were one or two, sometimes more than a dozen, and there were monks sitting on the outside. mostly against the wall.
After a long time, the three of them stopped in front of a courtyard wall to the west. Two monks fell to the ground in front of them.
“They seemed to have formed a circle, but they didn’t see a few old monks. There must be something strange among them!”
“Yes, let’s go in from here!”
After a brief exchange, the three of them kept moving like three light swallows. Some of them flew past the wall of the courtyard where the monk was unconscious, and still jumped four to five feet into the courtyard behind.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual around them, the three of them continued walking forward. As they walked, the youngest one began to shake his head frequently.
“What about you?”
“Brother, there is always a voice like poetry ringing in my ears, long and short, it makes me feel confused.”
“There’s no such thing as poetry, stop talking nonsense and collect yourself!”
After walking for a while, this time the man with the mustache surnamed Tang also saw something strange. He was passing by a small pool, only to find that lotus flowers were growing out of the water in the pool, and then golden lotuses bloomed immediately. You can smell a delicate fragrance.
“Golden Lotus?”
The man exclaimed and used Qinggong to leap over, trying to break a golden lotus after touching it…
“Plop…”
The water splashed and the pool was turbulent. There were no lotus leaves or golden lotuses blooming in the pool.
“Shh…Brother Tang, what are you doing?”
“Golden lotus, there is a golden lotus in full bloom!”
“There is no golden lotus. Are you confused? Pull your brother out quickly!”
The two of them pulled the mustachioed man out of the small pool, slapped him on the face to wake him up, and then continued forward. They saw a few unconscious monks along the way, but even though they passed out, they still remained The expression is calm and the face is smiling.
When we got here, it was no longer the only one who had hallucinations. Faint rainbow lights were floating around, and the stars in the sky were bright, like silver rain falling down.
There are faint sounds of conversation in my ears, sometimes like thunder, sometimes like the tinkling of a clear spring, sometimes like an old monk chanting sutras, sometimes like an elegant scholar playing the harp and flowing water from the mountains.
The footsteps of the three people had already stopped, and their sight and hearing were in a strong shock.
On several occasions, I even saw huge alien beasts floating in the air, falling from the sky and passing by. I also saw a crane dancing and turning into a fairy, approaching with a smile.
How many times did the three of them almost scream out loud, but they all restrained themselves with their only calmness.
“Immortals, Buddhas, spirits, demons, demons…all sentient beings in the world have the desire to follow the Tao. Find the bookstore www.zhaoshuyuaｎ.com”
“Sir, what you said is wrong. We don’t care about immortals, Buddhas, spirits, demons, etc., but not necessarily demons!”
“What the master said makes sense. Let Ji correct me. Some demons still have the desire to follow the Tao. Just like the demons of obsession and paranoia, only those with a firm mind cannot succeed.”
“Good! People have no thoughts of life and cannot be born with demons. People have extremely strong thoughts and are born with demons. They seek gold and silver, officials and power, immortals and immortality. As the thoughts become heavier, the desires become heavier…”
When this sound came, the minds of the three martial arts masters who had sneaked in had fallen into some kind of chaos. It seemed that their desires were aroused in layers, but others were glaring at them to remind them that this was not right.
“Ah~~~I can’t stand it anymore!”
The young man surnamed Tang couldn’t help but flail around with his fists and kicks, knocking his shaky brother and friend back a few steps. However, the two of them did not wake up. Instead, they wandered around as if they were drunk, with expressions that alternated between surprise and surprise. cry.
“Namoumo Keming King Buddha! The three donors should not have come!”
An old monk appeared in the courtyard, decisively restrained the three of them, and then connected points on their bodies to stimulate the acupoints and add a trace of spiritual energy.
“Master…”
The man named Tan looked blankly at the old monk in front of him.
“Three donors, this is the reason why my Daliang Temple is closing its doors to thank guests. Please leave quickly!”
“Yes, yes! Let’s leave now!” “Yes, yes, let’s leave now!”
“Come on, accuse, let’s have fun!”
Seeing that the monk had not offended them, the three of them hurriedly jumped out as if they were about to receive amnesty. They used Qinggong to the extreme to get out of the area before their minds became dizzy again, and then left Daliang Temple without looking back.
