After the old monk Foyin finished planting, when he returned to the tree where he had discussed Taoism with Ji Yuan, he saw that the Buddhist monks from Daliang Temple had also gathered again, and Ji Yuan was looking at the courtyard. That tree.
This tree is nearly twenty meters tall, which is extremely tall given that the surrounding buildings are generally not high.
No one of the surrounding monks spoke, they just saluted the old monk Foyin, and Ji Yuan suddenly asked.
“Is this a Bodhi tree?”
This tree looks familiar. It is a large tree that looks like a banyan tree. I wonder if it is the Bodhi tree from a previous life.
“Bodhi tree?”
The old monk Foyin was confused and looked at the tree again.
“This tree should be called Banyan mulberry. How did it get the name Bodhi?”
Ji Yuan immediately realized that the culture and even many aspects of knowledge here were similar to those in his previous life, but the Buddhists here definitely did not know the story of Sakyamuni.
Ji Yuan nodded and said, “It turns out to be Rongsang.” He said no more.
“Mr. Ji, what does Bodhi mean? The pronunciation is somewhat familiar.”
Ji Yuan looked at the old monk Foyin, recalled some information from his previous life and said.
“Bodhi is a transliteration of a distant dialect, meaning enlightenment and wisdom.”
“That’s it!”
The old monk Foyin didn’t say much. He thought for a while and then smiled. Then he said goodbye to Ji Yuan and the monks in Daliang Temple and went directly back to Lanzhou in the Western Region.
……
In the Flowery Villa, a maid who had been out shopping happily ran all the way from the front yard to the back yard.
“Your Highness the Eldest Princess, Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!”
He shouted excitedly while running.
“What is it called? Why are you so happy?”
Outside a room in the backyard that was modeled after a monk’s hall, the female official looked at the maid running all the way, frowned and shouted, and from the room behind her, the eldest princess Chu Ruyan also walked out.
“What happened?”
“Your Highness Princess, Daliang Temple will reopen tomorrow. I heard that many people heard the temple bell at dawn today. Many people in the market outside are talking about going to burn incense tomorrow!”
The eldest princess looked surprised.
“Really?”
“It’s absolutely true. When I heard the news, I searched around the market and found a few monks from Daliang Temple who came out to purchase. I heard from them that they confirmed that Daliang Temple will reopen to welcome pilgrims tomorrow!”
“Pa~”
Chu Ruyan clapped her hands hard.
“Great! Prepare the car immediately, we are going to Daliang Temple now!”
“But Your Highness the Princess, doesn’t Daliang Temple open tomorrow?”
The eldest princess smiled and waved her hand to the maid.
“That’s what I’m telling ordinary people. If Daliang Temple can open tomorrow, everything will be fine today. We just need to make some preparations to accept pilgrims again. There will be no problem if we go today! Please order someone to prepare a car. ”
The maid smiled and quickly said “yes” to take the order.
As soon as the maid left, the female officer asked the eldest princess.
“Your Highness, are you a bit hasty to go like this?”
“It’s okay. If it’s really inconvenient, the worst we can do is come back. Moreover, His Majesty is also very concerned about the affairs of Daliang Temple. He has already sent a letter asking me about the affairs of Daliang Temple, and asked me to pay more attention. I am doing this for you. Share the worries!”
Chu Ruyan and the female official did not spread the news about what they saw at Daliang Temple last time, but her emperor brother suddenly became very interested in Daliang Temple and rushed to send a letter to her, asking about the situation of Daliang Temple. , so she took advantage of the situation and talked about her feelings that time, “Everyone was drunk and I was alone.”
Then the emperor became more concerned and asked his sister to pay more attention to Daliang Temple.
The maid could only smile, the eldest princess’s reason was high-sounding enough.
The time to prepare the carriage actually took less than half a quarter of an hour. Not only was the carriage cleaned, but everything from the coachman to the attendants, from fruits and cakes to sandalwood and other items to be carried, were all prepared. They even brought two pots of good food. liquor.
But it didn’t mean that the carriage could leave immediately after it was ready, because the eldest princess, Chu Ruyan, had to change her makeup carefully, and a full half hour had passed.
After the eldest princess put on her makeup and put on the appropriate hairpins in front of the mirror, the two maids who were helping her with her makeup retired. The former turned to ask the female officer.
“How is it? Does it look good?”
“It looks good, it looks good, let’s go!”
The female officer said perfunctorily, but in fact she couldn’t tell the difference between the eldest princess’s previous makeup and her current one, except for the extra jewelry.
A total of two carriages drove out of the courtyard and then went straight to the west city gate, accompanied by many riders including female officials.
In just over a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived at the still empty market outside Daliang Temple, and then arrived outside Daliang Temple where the heavy door had been opened.
The wooden sign that closed the temple and the gold medal given by the emperor have been removed. A monk is cleaning a large open space in front of the temple with a broom, cleaning up some fallen leaves and other objects blown by the wind. After all, there are many temples. The place hasn’t been cleaned for almost over a month.
Seeing the carriage and horses approaching, and looking at the familiar carriage, a monk immediately ran back to the temple to report. When the carriage just stopped, Monk Huitong had already hurried out to greet it.
“Well done, King Buddha of the Ming Dynasty, and the humble monk Huitong, respectfully welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess!”
Monk Huitong held the Buddhist ceremony and bowed slightly to the carriage, while the eldest son opened the carriage and smiled at Huitong.
“Master Huitong, can I enter the temple today?”
Monk Huitong said very frankly.
“Of course it is possible. Although the temple will welcome pilgrims again tomorrow, in fact, apart from the need to clean up, there is nothing special about the temple today.”
Hearing this, a maid got off the carriage behind and took a step stool to place in front of the eldest princess’s carriage, while Chu Ruyan got off the carriage.
“You drive your car to the backyard. Master Huitong and I walked in today.”
After receiving the order, the servants retreated one after another, leaving only the female official accompanying the eldest princess. Hui Tong led him towards the door of the temple.
“Please, eldest princess.”
“Master Huitong please.”
Huitong was half a step ahead, and the two of them walked side by side as they entered Daliang Temple step by step. As he glanced over, many monks were cleaning. Passing through some halls, one could also see monks carrying mats, bedding and other items out. , and there are quite a lot of them.
Together with Monk Huitong, we visited some of the squares and main halls where most pilgrims usually visit, and then the two of them headed towards the inner courtyard.
“By the way, Master Huitong, did Mr. Ji and the old monk leave?”
Huitong first proclaimed the Buddha’s name.
“Wonderful King Buddha of the Ming Dynasty! His Holiness has left after ringing the bell, but Mr. Ji has not left yet and is writing a book in the forbidden area of the inner courtyard!”
“Forbidden land?”
Chu Ruyan looked at Monk Huitong curiously.
“I haven’t been to any part of Daliang Temple, so why is there an extra forbidden area?”
Huitong didn’t hide it either.
“Returning to the eldest princess, our Daliang Temple did not have any forbidden areas before. However, after the closure of the temple this time, a small courtyard in the inner courtyard has become a forbidden area of the temple. However, it is not an absolutely forbidden area and can also be used as a pure area. It means no noise and no uncleanness!”
“Oh! Can I go and have a look?”
Huitong knew that the eldest princess would ask this question and smiled.
“If the eldest princess wants to go at other times, the poor monk should personally lead her. But I don’t believe it now, so I can’t disturb Mr. Ji at this time.”
“Hey, Master, you have such a strong tone, you can’t even do it to the eldest princess. Do you mean to stop your Majesty even when he comes?”
The female officer said something half jokingly and half seriously, but saw Hui Yi returning to her with a serious face.
“What Mr. Lu said is true. Even if His Majesty comes in person at this time, he is not allowed to enter the forbidden area.”
This sentence made both the female officer and the eldest princess speechless. The former wanted to say “Daliang Temple is so brave”, but he seemed to have seen through her thoughts. Monk Huitong explained immediately. .
“The two of you have seen the Venerable perform magic before, and you must also know that Mr. Ji is an extraordinary person. Not to mention people outside the temple, even any monk in this temple is not allowed to enter the forbidden area at this time. We are mortals. How can you disturb the saint?”
The eldest princess looked at Huitong’s serious look and asked subconsciously.
“If ordinary people can’t do it, then neither can you, master?”
Chu Ruyan admired Monk Huitong and knew that Monk Huitong had true Buddhist teachings before. But this time, she had some new understanding of “true Buddhist teachings”. It was no longer the kind of chanting that she had thought of before. Praying for blessings and disaster relief.
“Haha, people say that Huitong of Daliang Temple is an eminent monk in the world. This is too ridiculous. For eminent people like the Venerable and Mr. Ji, a poor monk is just a common man! Let’s go, sir. If the princess wants to see it, the monk will try his best to take you through the outskirts of the forbidden area.”
The three of them walked quietly and slowly into the inner courtyard. After walking for a while, Huitong stopped and pointed to a big green tree in the courtyard in the distance.
“The small courtyard under the tree over there is the forbidden area of the temple. We can just stop here and take a look.”
The eldest princess subconsciously stood on tiptoe. This location was not the entrance to the so-called forbidden area at all, but was separated by at least two courtyard walls. From here, you couldn’t even see the arch of that forbidden area, let alone Saw people.
At this moment, under the big tree, there is a desk there. The four treasures of the study room on the desk are all there. Look for the book garden www.zhaoshuyuan.com and Ji Yuan is writing alone under the tree, deducing the magic of heaven and earth. .
After the previous discussion, Ji Yuan’s thoughts were flowing. All the complicated problems that he knew the direction before were easily solved.
Furthermore, Ji Yuan also considered adding some insurance measures. Every time a large section is deduced, the leading essence will be written in a special law to prevent people outside the inheritance or with ulterior motives from obtaining this method.
As the words were written, the strange images that had been eliminated by the bells suddenly appeared again, but this time they did not appear on a large scale in Daliang Temple, but only appeared around Ji Yuan.
A spirit follows the pen as it falls on the paper, and the visions wander across the paper endlessly. Ji Yuan’s langhao pen can sometimes directly point on the visions and write them onto the paper along with the ink on the tip of the pen.
In just one day, Ji Yuan had written more than 3,000 words of fine characters on a roll of rice paper. Not only did he use Tianlu script and the method of conveying divine intentions, he also imitated the masters of small characters he had learned during this period. With the divine meaning of the words, and the fact that it is surrounded by visionary images that are sometimes trapped in it, the whole book can be said to be full of gems.
This is not only the method of spreading Yunshan Temple, but also regarded by Ji Yuan as the foundation of his own practice.
When the last word fell, the first half of “The Wonderful Law of Heaven and Earth” and the most important part, “The Transformation of Heaven and Earth”, was born.
“Rumble…”
The sky suddenly became clear, thunder exploded, and large swaths of dark clouds gathered over Daliang Temple in a short period of time.
“Woo…Woo…Woo…”
“Rumble…”
The wind howled and swept through the fallen leaves, and the surrounding winds and clouds changed. After the lightning flashed, the sky darkened sharply…
