Chapter 392, Guanyin Temple
Only then did Yao Jiaxin notice the environment she was in. In front of her was an endless mountain and river. The forest was like a sea, and it was already yellow. The hillside on the west side was bright red. It was... a maple forest.
The frost leaves are redder than the February flowers, which is really spectacular.
Another Buddhist temple in the maple forest, the golden glazed tiles are golden under the sun, which is eye-catching.
This yellow glazed tiles can only be used in the palace, and except for the palace, only Buddhist temples can enjoy them, and they are not ordinary Buddhist temples.
I saw the bluestone steps carved with lotus patterns stretching out from the depths of the maple forest and stretching to the foot of the mountain, which is where Yao Jiaxin is. There are so many teahouses and stalls scattered at the foot of the mountain. Although they are not as busy as the downtown area, there are only a dozen of them. It can be seen that this is a tourist destination in Beijing.
"This is..." Yao Jiaxin looked at His Majesty the Fourth Master curiously.
Yinzhen spread the folding fan in his hand with a "wow" sound, swaying slightly, "Miaofeng Mountain."
Yao Jiaxin was stunned. It turned out that this was Miaofeng Mountain! The depth of Yao Jiaxin's memory, that is, in the original owner's memory, had been here several times, so she still understood it.
This Miaofeng Mountain is located outside the western suburbs of Beijing. There are many ancient temples, such as sunrise, sunset, rime, and the thousands of acres of rose forest, which are rare beautiful scenery. Especially the roses, the best every year, are picked and presented to the palace to make roses and rouge.
There are many temples on Miaofeng Mountain, the most famous of which is the Niangniang Temple on the top of the mountain, which is the Huiji Temple. In addition, there are temples such as the Inspiration Palace and Huixiang Pavilion, which bring together a total of fourteen temples, including Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and customs.
Every time the temple fair is on the 15th day of the lunar month, it is so lively here.
However, Yao Jiaxin could not find a temple deep in the maple forest.
Su Peisheng smiled and reported: "That was Guanyin Temple just built not long ago."
Yao Jiaxin was stunned, Guanyin Temple?
You should know that although there are many temples worshipping Guanyin, they are usually very small, usually Guanyin Temple, but Guanyin Temple is very rare.
Yinzhen smiled slightly, "Go up and take a look."
Yao Jiaxin nodded in confusion, looked at the endless steps, feeling a little anxious, and couldn't help asking: "How many levels are this?"
Yinzhen smiled and said, "There are five hundred arhats in Buddhism, and here is exactly five hundred levels."
Yao Jiaxin: Watching silently for her feet.
Fortunately, I wear flat shoes today.
Looking at the picturesque maple forest, Yao Jiaxin bit and started crawling.
This is five hundred levels!
Yao Jiaxin really envied Hong Xiaoxu at this moment. She was held by the wet nurse Zhang and didn't need to walk a single step.
Hong Xiaoxu, the little boy, was still very dissatisfied and struggled and said, "I want to leave by myself!"
The panting Yao Jiaxin immediately glared at her fiercely. I didn’t even have a chance to ask someone to hug her!
"Be honest!" Yao Jiaxin grind her teeth.
Feeling the stepmother-like eyes of his mother, Hong Xiaoxu shrank his neck and did not dare to make a fuss.
Yinzhen couldn't help laughing, hurriedly grabbed her hand, and smiled and said, "Don't hurry, go slowly."
Looking at His Majesty the Fourth Master, Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but be jealous.
Looking at the lemon of the wet nurse Zhang, who was holding the chubby Hong Xiaoxu, who was not blushing and breathless.
I clearly think my physical fitness is very good.
As a result, she was still a scumbag.
After all, his Majesty the Fourth Master held her hand and pulled her upwards, he finally climbed the stairs of the five hundred arhats.
Come to the gate of this newly built Guanyin Temple.
Yao Jiaxin was panting like a cow, so tired that she almost lay on the ground.
I'll go, the steps exercise is so tiring! For her, the cliff is anaerobic exercise!
In front of the Guanyin Temple is a spacious and flat open space paved with white marble, about a single shot, but it is empty. Apart from them, there are no other pilgrims.
Suddenly, the huge temple gate of Guanyin Temple opened with a bang. An old monk wearing a golden robe and three feet of white beard walked out with a kind smile on his face. Behind the old monk was more than a dozen young monks and little novice monks followed.
"My abbot Huikong of Guanyin Temple has met Mr. Huang, Mrs. Huang." Abbot Huikong clasped his hands together and bent down deeply. The monks who followed behind also bowed together and bowed respectfully.
Okay, this is obviously because I know the identity of His Majesty the Fourth Master. It is just because of the "short patrol", so it is inconvenient to point it out directly.
Yao Jiaxin breathed a little, then waved her hand and said, "You made a mistake, I'm just like a wife."
Abbot Huikong seemed to have a back of his ears and said with a kind smile: "Mr. Huang and his wife are pious to the Buddha. If the Bodhisattva has a spirit, they will definitely bless the virtuous couple."
Yao Jiaxin:...
She glanced at His Majesty the Fourth Master and co-organized the newly completed Guanyin Temple, which was funded by His Majesty the Fourth Master. No wonder this abbot's attitude is so... "Amiable"??
People in Buddhism are not unfamiliar with the fireworks of the world.
"Master Huang" smiled slightly and said to Yao Jiaxin with a side face: "Okay, madam, go in and take a look. This is the Guanyin Temple specially built for you and our children."
Yao Jiaxin was stunned, I'll go and build it for her and Hong Xiaoxu?! How much money would it take to build such a large temple?!
It is said that Yongzheng is a Buddhist, so she believes it.
Yao Jiaxin looked back at "our child". Hong Xiaoxu didn't walk a step in the arms of the wet nurse Zhang's mother. He was so energetic. It was also the scenery outside Guanyin Temple that was very beautiful. Although the terrain here is not too high, it can only be considered a mountainside at most, but the maple forest here is like blood. Standing outside the temple, you can see the scenery at the foot of the mountain. The village in the valley not far away can also be seen clearly.
Suddenly, Yao Jiaxin discovered that the wet nurse Zhang's mother was also looking at the village in the valley on the northwest side, with a somewhat complicated look.
Zhang's mother was a vigilant. She immediately noticed the Empress's gaze and quickly turned around with a gentle smile on her face.
Yao Jiaxin said lightly, "Come on", and quickly stepped into Guanyin Temple with His Majesty Fourth Master.
The main entrance of Guanyin Temple is extremely large, comparable to the east and west palace gates of the Forbidden City.
Sure enough, the only buildings in this world that can be compared with the imperial palace are the temples of gods and Buddhas.
The huge temple gate opens, and the scenery in the temple instantly enters the eyes. The pool with white marble fences is a pool with a three-meter-square pool that has not yet fallen. There are so many pure white water lilies blooming gracefully, and the clear and round leaves are very gratifying.
The water in the pond was extremely clear, and you could vaguely see brightly colored koi swimming in the pond. When you look closely, the colors of the koi were extraordinary, including two three-foot-long koi.
The red-crowned koi is a snow-white koi, but there is a round red spot on its head, like a red-crowned crane. When swimming, it is like a white dragon turning over the river, and when it is quiet, it is like a lying in the water, so it has the beauty of "good luck in the head".
Such a pair of three-foot koi are of absolutely great value.
However, Hong Xiaoxu seems to have become used to koi. After all, there are thousands of koi in the goldfish pond in the Old Summer Palace, which is much more spectacular than here, and there are also many treasures of colors.
What attracted Hong Xiaoxu's eyes even more was the large purple bamboo. Behind the carp pond was a towering and tall temple, called "Guanyin Hall", which was the main hall of Guanyin Temple. Naturally, Guanyin was worshipped. The east and west sides and behind the Guanyin Hall were covered with purple bamboos, probably because they wanted to imitate the purple bamboo forest in the South China Sea.
It's quite spectacular.
