Chapter 1337 History of Tieshan Temple

Professor Zong's words were straightforward enough, so how could the three of them not understand what he meant.

"Academician Li, this is the current situation. I need to think carefully about the subsequent treatment method."

"Thank you, Professor Zong, I'll take you there."

Li Mo sent Professor Zong away, and Zhu Mingcheng and his wife followed behind him, both of them still with an expression of disbelief on their faces. The three of them were silent, and finally Li Mo broke the silence: "For Cai Cai, I have always treated her as my own sister."

"We know that it was Cai Cai who got stuck in a dead end and couldn't get out of it." Zhu Mingcheng sighed lightly, "We as parents also have a lot of responsibility. We haven't cared enough about her over the years. Mr. Li, we'll go first, and we'll have a good communication with Cai Cai after we go back."

What else did Li Mo want to say, but suddenly he felt that everything was so pale and powerless. Some things become more confusing the more you explain them, so just stop at the point.

Zhu Mingcheng and his wife drove away, and Li Mo also sighed. He got into the car and was about to start it when his cell phone rang. It was Qin Yali calling.

"Aunt."

"Xiao Mo, where are you now?"

"I'm near Peking University, Aunt, do you need anything?"

"Of course I have something to talk to you about. If the time is convenient, come to my place. I have something important to discuss with you in detail."

"Okay, I'll be there in about 40 minutes."

It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when Li Mo arrived at his destination. As soon as he got off the car, he saw a security guard in his fifties jogging towards him. He saluted him first, and then said respectfully: "Mr. Li, Leader Qin told you to go directly to the conference room over there when he saw you arrive."

Li Mo looked in the direction he pointed. It was a door, and the conference room was in another yard.

"Okay, I'll go over there."

After Qin Yali was promoted, her office was also moved here. It was an independent small yard with four offices and a large conference room. It is estimated that the people working here are the top four.

"Academician Li, this way."

The secretary beside Qin Yali stood at the door of the conference room and waved at him.

"Secretary Jiang, long time no see."

"You are a busy man, I don't even have a chance to see you." Secretary Jiang said with a smile. She has been working with Qin Yali, so she is familiar with Li Mo. "Several comrades from the local areas have come to you for something. Now, Leader Qin can't refuse, so I have to trouble you to make a trip."

Secretary Jiang quickly explained some things in a low voice, so that Li Mo would not be confused about what they came here for.

"I'm idle anyway, so it doesn't matter if I run more."

"Come in."

Li Mo walked into the meeting room, and the five people in it stood up and greeted him. The three people on Qin Yali's side were old acquaintances, but the two people opposite them were very unfamiliar, and they didn't know where they came from.

"Academician Li, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Cheng, the third person in charge of Xuyi County, and this is Mr. Zou, the third person in charge of the city."

Hearing where they came from, Li Mo's first reaction was that they were not here to ask him to take action and find the treasure of Tieshan Temple in folk legends, right?

After everyone sat down, Qin Yali said, "Academician Li, these two local leaders are looking for you to cooperate with a treasure project. Because they have no connections, they came to me directly."

"Academician Li, please listen to me and tell you the cause and effect of the matter slowly. Then you can decide whether to cooperate with us."

The third person in charge of the county was very humble.

"Mr. Cheng, you don't have to be polite. Just say whatever you want to say."

"Then I will tell you a folk legend from beginning to end."

The folk story told by the person in charge, Mr. Cheng, was indeed the mystery of the treasure of Tieshan Temple, but the content he told was much richer than what Cai Cai had said before.

He first talked about the origin of Tieshan Temple. The temple was built in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It was built by Yan Fodiao, the first monk of the Han nationality, as the place for his founding. Tieshan Temple is large in scale, including several temples, mainly Tieshan Zen Temple, covering an area of ​​200,000 square meters, and it took 15 years to build. Yan Fodiao hoped that his temple would continue to be popular and strong, so he named it Tieshan Temple.

The first monk of the Han nationality mentioned, the scale of 200,000 square meters and the long duration of construction all show that Tieshan Temple has a pivotal position among domestic temples.

But if Cai Cai hadn't passed by there during this trip, Li Mo would have never heard of the name of Tieshan Temple. Perhaps this is related to the economic development of the place where it is located. In areas with strong economic development, the scenic spots and historical sites there will generally become famous all over the world.

Seeing that Li Mo was listening very seriously, Mr. Cheng spoke in more detail: "Tieshan Temple has been expanded over the generations. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the temple reached its peak, forming a cluster of 14 temples with Tieshan Temple as the center, including Wanggu Temple, Qingliang Temple, Longshan Temple, etc., known as the "Little Jiuhua", with thousands of monks and nuns. Unfortunately, Tieshan Temple was destroyed by war in the late Qing Dynasty."

"For more than 20 years, the local government has presided over the reconstruction of Tieshan Temple. Although it has a long history, it was destroyed in the war. Even though it has been rebuilt and opened, its reputation is still unknown to the world."

Li Mo heard his helplessness. The local government spent a lot of energy to rebuild the thousand-year-old temple, but it did not bring significant promotion to the local economy.

"A mountain is not high, but it is magical if there are immortals. A water is not deep, but it is magical if there are dragons. A temple is not big, but it is magical if there are Buddhas. Just like the Leiyin Temple on Foyuan Mountain on the border of Yandu, you can definitely find something to learn from it."

The two local leaders looked at each other, and Mr. Zou from the city smiled bitterly and said, "Academician Li, we did send people there to learn from them, but the experience there is not very applicable to the local situation."

Li Mo figured it out in his mind and understood what was going on. The main reason why the Leiyin Temple on Foyuan Mountain could suddenly become a holy place in the minds of Buddhist disciples all over the world is that there is a finger bone relic of Sakyamuni Buddha enshrined there, and there are many Buddhist holy vessels for blessing, and there is strong support from the government and the public, so it has the current situation and status.

"I thought things were too simple." Li Mo smiled apologetically, "Mr. Cheng, please continue."

"Yan Fodiao, who founded Tieshan Temple, was a disciple of An Shigao, a Parthian monk who translated Buddhist scriptures in Luoyang during the reigns of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. He wrote "The Ten Wisdoms of the Shami" and translated "The Mirror Sutra". His reputation spread far and wide at the time, and many people came to Tieshan Temple to seek advice. Among them, there was a big figure who was already a heavyweight at the time. He was Zhang Jue, the leader of the Taiping Dao."

Li Mo knew a little about Zhang Jue. The Taiping Dao is a branch of Taoism, which worships Huangdi and Laozi as its founders.

"Although Zhang Jue's Taoism and Yan Fodiao's Buddhism were not of the same sect, he admired Yan Fodiao's talent and character very much, so he went from the distant Jizhou to Tieshan Temple to visit Yan Fodiao despite the fatigue of the journey. The two drank tea and played chess, and had a very pleasant conversation."

"Later, Zhang Jue led the rebels in various places to attack counties, burn government offices, release prisoners, open warehouses to release grain, and collect a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, jade and agate from corrupt officials and landlords. The amount was considerable. So Zhang Jue decided to find a safe place to keep the property first, in preparation for ascending the throne in the future. After thinking for a while, he thought of Tieshan Temple hidden in the mountains and the respected abbot Yan Fodiao."
