Rebirth of the Entertainment Grandmaster

Jinshan Temple is very famous in Hangzhou. It is not only related to the legend of the White Snake, but more importantly, there have been several highly respected monks over the years. Even the villain in "The Legend of White Snake"... Fa Hai, whose true identity is

A founder who achieved Taoism through asceticism and was respected by the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang..

Jinshan Temple was founded by Fahai.

Fahai was one of the most accomplished monks among the dozens of disciples of the Sixth Patriarch of Zen, Huineng. It is said that he first met Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen, at the Dafan Temple in Hexi, Shaozhou.

Later, I listened to the Sixth Patriarch's lectures on Buddhism, memorized the Sixth Patriarch's French language and the causes and conditions of his birth, and recorded all the speeches of the illiterate Sixth Patriarch, and compiled them into the "Dharma Treasure Altar Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch," which was compiled by Fa Hai.

, becoming the only classic written by the Chinese Zen master himself that can be called a "Buddhist scripture".

The legendary "White Snake" actually has a historical prototype, and there are two versions of it. One theory is based on the "Jinshan Chronicle": "The Python Cave, on the side of the right wing, is steep and dangerous, and it is four or five feet deep.

"Xu. In the past, a white python came out to bite people, and it was time for Peitutuo to drive him away." That is to say, when Zen Master Peitutuo Fahai first came to Jinshan, the temple was destroyed and overgrown with weeds. There was a white python on the cliff halfway up the mountain that often came out to hurt people, so the people did not dare to go up the mountain.

Burning incense, Zen Master Fahai subdued the white python and drove the white python into the river so that it would no longer harm anyone.

Another theory about "White Snake" is related to Jinshan Temple, but it is not related to Zen Master Fahai. According to "The Biography of Eminent Monks", more than 80 years ago before Zen Master Fahai came to Hangzhou, there was an eminent monk named Lingtan.

He was the great-nephew of Wu Zetian. He once served as a prince and later became a monk. Lingtan once drove away a giant white python from the python cave in Jinshan. Later, people related these people to Jinshan Temple and Zen Master Fahai.

He things were artistically integrated and fictionalized, gradually forming a well-known folk tale.

So from a real historical perspective, Fahai should have done a great and meritorious deed, and it was really a great injustice to be made into a villain.

In the "Sutra-Reading Cave" outside Jinshan Temple, there is a tall seated statue of Fahai, a kind, wise and enlightened person, reading sutras. It is admired by many visitors. It is said that this is the place where Fahai practiced asceticism. After Fahai passed away, the disciples were here

This stone statue of Fahai was carved in the cave where he sat to worship him.

Ye Tang and his party visited many places along with the pilgrims and tourists, and then came to the 'Sutra Reading Cave'. Incense smoke curled up, and someone had already made offerings inside, giving off a strong smell of incense candles.

In the main hall of Jinshan Temple, Yu Yueqing and Luo Yao had already entered the incense sticks. There were no incense candles in their hands at this time. Of course, it didn't matter. They just folded their hands and made a bow, which was the case for many tourists.

Ye Tang also bowed, having done so in the main hall. Although he didn't know if there were gods and Buddhas all over the sky, coming to this world inexplicably was already fantasy enough, and it was right to feel awe.

Maybe Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Jade Emperor are watching from above, and there is no loss in improving the favorability.

The sound of wooden fish was heard in the cave, and under the stone wall on the right side of the statue of Zen Master Fahai, an old monk with a gray beard in his seventies had been sitting cross-legged on a futon, closing his eyes and knocking on the wooden fish, chanting "**" in his mouth, no matter what

Pilgrims rushed in and filed out without opening their eyes.

Diligently practice precepts, concentration, and wisdom, and eliminate greed, anger, and delusion. If you do not move, this is what you should do.

No one disturbed him, most of them took a curious look. This environment inherently gave people a solemn feeling. Even speaking loudly seemed to be a sin, and the mood was easily infected.

"The ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, with half a volume of residual scriptures, has a pure heart, as pure as a lotus flower." After coming out of the 'Sutra Reading Cave', Yu Yueqing sighed. Only by experiencing the glitz of the world and the tranquility of the heart can you know the huge difference and taste.

.

"Sister Qing, don't worry about it." Luo Yao had already pulled Lin Wu and ran forward. Seeing that Yu Yueqing seemed to be deeply touched, Ye Tang was startled and said, the environment of Jinshan Temple is indeed good, but if you want to be like that

More is not necessary.

"What's wrong with your mind?" Yu Yueqing asked strangely.

"Be a nun. You can't be inspired by Buddha to become a nun."

Ye Tang grabbed her hand and looked serious. Yu Yueqing smiled and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't want to be a nun." He hit him on the head. She just liked that peaceful state of mind.

Ye Tang was just a joke. She and Lin Wu were not able to easily see through the world of mortals. She said: "That's good. The heart is like a white cloud and it is always at ease, and the mind is like flowing water. In fact, life is all about cultivation. Become an immortal first."

**, to cultivate immortality, you must first cultivate your heart. There is no better place to cultivate your heart than in the mortal world.”

Yu Yueqing was a little bit dumbfounded. What was all this talking about? She just sighed a few words casually, and actually brought up the idea of ​​becoming a monk and cultivating. She was not at the point where she had seen through it yet.

"You are the only one who has random thoughts. By the way, what happened between you and Xiaowu a few days ago? Did you bully her?" Yu Yueqing didn't want to ask this question, but she couldn't help but ask it at this time.

Ye Tang was a little embarrassed for a moment. This question was really hard to answer, so he said, "Well, what did she say to you?" There are many definitions of bullying. In the true sense, he really didn't bully Lin Wu. That's called bullying.

'Little conflicts between husband and wife'.

"Just say you bullied her." Lin Wu really didn't say anything, but just because of this, Yu Yueqing wanted to know what was going on. The two of them had been acting weird these days.

Ye Tang broke into a cold sweat, but based on his understanding of Lin Wu, she would definitely not say such things. The mother-in-law was obviously trying to trick him.

"It's nothing, just 'growing pains' and 'new growing pains'. Sister Qing, you know."

Ye Tang gave an ambiguous answer. Yu Yueqing was confused, but she seemed to understand something in her heart. She sighed and said, "Anyway, you won't be allowed to bully her in the future."

Lovesickness is useless. My daughter can write such words. This is really a growing pain. Yu Yueqing doesn't know what to say.

Ye Tang didn't know why Yu Yueqing sighed, but he heard her words clearly, nodded and said solemnly: "Of course not, I will not bully her. Sister Qing, please feel free to leave her to me."

That time was a complete accident, and there would never be a next time. He also felt distressed when the little fairy cried. The pear blossoms and the rain were so beautiful that they couldn't compare to the feeling of distress. That feeling was too unpleasant.

Yu Yueqing was speechless. Why did she turn to one side again while she was talking? When did she say she was going to hand over her daughter to him? It was as if she was giving her last words. Even if she wanted to hand it over to him, it was still too early.

How talented are you?

Luo Yao and Lin Wu were in front. Yu Yueqing was too lazy to say anything. He rolled his eyes at Ye Tang and quickly chased after him. If he continued talking, he would probably be choked to death.

Ye Tang was stunned, and then he laughed. It seemed that the conversation just now was a bit inappropriate. The building was too crooked. Of course his dear mother-in-law wanted to live a long life.

The trees are green and green. This road is the way to Leifeng Pagoda. Climb up the steps and you will soon reach the bottom of Leifeng Pagoda.

Leifeng Pagoda is a planar octagonal pavilion-style tower with copper tiles on each floor, copper bucket arches at the corners, and copper wind chimes hung under the cornices. It is graceful and has an antique charm. It also has flat seats for viewing.

When they came to the foot of Leifeng Pagoda, the four of them chose a place with a wide view to look at it. The sunset view of Leifeng Peak is as far as the West Lake, with ancient temples nearby, sunsets in the evening, bells, water, light, sound and color in the morning.

Incomparably wonderful.

Leifeng Pagoda has seven floors and is about fifty meters high. After looking at the scenery below for a while, the four of them went up to the top of the tower and picked up flat seats on the third floor to enjoy the view. After all, Leifeng Pagoda crushing the White Snake is just a beautiful legend.

, cannot be taken seriously.

"The clear light is on the wicker branches, and we are playing together with the flowers in the morning. The songs are close to the shore, and the people are riding horses to cross the bridge. The towers are far away from the Leifeng Peak, and the springs are far away from the Ge Ling. At night and day, we are fighting for the door, and the fragrance of clothes is floating all over the road." Looking at the West Lake.

Looking in the direction, Luo Yao recited a poem. Both Yu Yueqing and Lin Wu were fascinated and enjoying the wonderful scenery.

Ye Tang also had a rare moment of silence. He looked around in the cool breeze. Looking at the West Lake from here, the water was brilliant and the mountains and waters were all in sight. It was so beautiful that it could only be like this in the fairyland on earth.

Ever since he got off the boat and went up the mountain, Lin Wu's hand has always been occupied by Luo Yao. It was also the same now. Being held by her, Ye Tang felt deeply helpless, but it was not without its benefits. The two played in harmony and looked like sisters. It seemed that there was hope for a harem.

.

Looking at the two of them, Ye Tang secretly smiled. Sister Luo Yao is really nice. But it's a pity that this is not ancient times. If it were ancient times, it would be perfect. One husband and two wives would be so fun.

Perhaps sensing Ye Tang's gaze, Luo Yao and Lin Wu both turned around and glanced at him. Seeing him snickering, Luo Yao said strangely: "Why are you laughing?" She and Lin Wu looked at each other in confusion, as if there was nothing worth doing.

Funny thing right?

Yu Yueqing also turned around, and Ye Tang walked over and grabbed her hand and said: "I'm not laughing or anything, I'm just feeling a little emotional." At this time, it's better to grab the mother-in-law's hand. Luo Yao's hand is not convenient to grab, but Lin Wu's

If you don't dare to grab it with your hands, there is nothing more tragic than this in the world.

Seeing him grabbing Yu Yueqing's hand, Luo Yao quickly understood. She probably thought she was an eyesore to him, but she still insisted on doing this. Who told him to take advantage of her usually, but today he couldn't even think of getting close.

Lin Wu took half a step.

Luo Yao pulled Lin Wu to her side and held her in her arms. She winked at Ye Tang proudly and continued to look at the scenery.

Ye Tang shook his head. Of course he wouldn't be angry. Anyway, this was exactly what he wanted. Besides, there was nothing to be angry with his 'equal wife', as long as they didn't play with Lily.

ps: Just code it, it hurts. (To be continued.)
