“Where are we going?”
Wu Daoxuan stared at the red-skinned gourd around Qian Chen's waist and asked where to draw the mural.
"Changlefang, Zhao Jinggong Temple!" Qian Chen replied without looking back.
Zhang Xu followed behind him staggeringly, just wanting to drink a few cups of wine, no matter which temple they were going to!
Zhao Jinggong Temple was built by Dugu Jialuo, the queen of the previous dynasty, to commemorate his father, Dugu Xin, who was known as the side hat man.
Therefore, the temple in the previous dynasty was among the best in Chang'an and had extraordinary foundations. It was only because of the numerous temples in the Tang Dynasty that declined... After all, the nobles of Chang'an abandoned their houses, and the relics temples and palaces became popular. Qinglong Temple, Daxingshan Temple, and Dacien Temple were all established by the royal family. Why should we favor a temple built by the nobles of the previous dynasty?
This temple is known as the wonderful nine treasures!
The first treasure is the mural painted by Fan Changshou, a saint in the previous generation of paintings, the Pure Land of Pure Land in the West. The eight treasures and merit lotus pond in the painting are particularly wonderful. When you look at it intently, you will feel that the water enters the floating wall and feel that it is bright and bright.
It is said that the lotus of merit in the pond can be broken. When Queen Dugu Jialu missed her father in the past, she sent someone to fold a lotus of merit and put it in the house with a pure fragrance. If you smell it, you will not get any disease, and your heart will be more comfortable.
The white paintings of trees, stones, and murals of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on the courtyard gate are also written by Yan Lide, and they can be called the second treasure.
The Great Buddha's Dharma Body in the Huayan Courtyard in the temple is made of seven treasures, glass gold sculptures. It is six feet tall, has a simple style, contains profound Buddhist teachings, has profound faith, and has infinite divine power when sacrificed and refined. It is the treasure of the temple.
It is said that in the Great Buddha's Dharma Body, there are three dou and four liters of the true body of the Great Buddha, Lushe's Buddha. A total of thousands of grains are enshrined in the Great Buddha's Dharma Body. In conjunction with the Great Buddha's Dharma Body, it can compete with the demons who suppress the sun gods.
In addition, there are more than 600 small silver statues in the temple, all of which are worshipped and refined magical tools, which can suppress ordinary demons and ghosts. Believers worship their worship homes, ward off evil spirits and demons, and they can also be considered a treasure.
There is also a large silver statue and a large gold statue, each of which is more than six feet high. It is said to be a body statue left by a monk who has cultivated the golden body of Buddhist Dharma. There is also a Buddhist scripture screen inlaid with various jewels of jewels. It can cover a city when sacrificed and refined, and it is a defensive magic weapon.
And a scripture made of gold... This is the true profound inheritance in the temple, and Qian Chen is unknown!
In fact, if you want to talk about the true treasure of Buddhism, it is the Tripitaka Sutra brought back by Master Xuanzang when he climbed the Pure Land from Mount Sumeru. This is the true heavenly inheritance. The sutras given by the Buddha! The Big and Small Wild Wild Wild Pagodas that Qian Chen visited were specially built to store these Tripitaka Sutra.
Qian Chen chose Dacien Temple as a place to kill demons, and it may not be without the intention of exploring the secrets of the Yan Pagoda Sutra.
However, there is no trace of Xuanzang's Buddhist scriptures in this world.
Moreover, the large and small wilderness pagodas built by Xuanzang in the past should not be so simple. Qian Chen did not believe that when Xuanzang brought the scriptures back to Chang'an, Ye Fashan, Luo Gongyuan and others had never thought of accidentally setting fire to make these Buddhists plot in every way, and the scriptures that came were burned?
Such changes, including the withering of the Tang Dynasty's soul at this time, even the dignified Heavenly Master is not the true person of the soul.
This is a bit outrageous!
Qian Chen has always wondered if it was because this world was a projection of the real earth immortal world. Maybe the heavenly masters and masters he saw were all powerful responses.
Otherwise, Mr. Zhang Guo had not yet achieved his soul at this time, so I would be sorry for his name.
Logically speaking, as a Kauspreda person, Taishang would not let go of the top boy group of the Taoist sect!
Moreover, according to the script of the Supreme Emperor, the ancestor of the sword immortal, who had already proved to be the Dao Dao, would probably be reincarnated in the Tang Dynasty.
Sima Chengzhen suspected that Qian Chen was someone...
Qian Chen also suspected that Sima Chengzhen was the response of a powerful man!
Several people came to Changlefang without stopping. Qian Chen led everyone to Zhaojinggong Temple. The monks in the temple saw that the people were all dressed by scholars, so they did not stop them. Instead, they recognized Wu Daozi.
The monk from Zhike came up enthusiastically and greeted: "Master Daoxuan is here to find his master? I'll report to him now!"
"Someone asked me to draw a mural!" Wu Daozi said freely: "Zen Master Guangxiao and I are old friends too! You can go and report it..."
"No need! The one we are going to meet now is Zen Master Guangxiao..." Qian Chen took the conversation and said, "The person who asked you to paint this painting is Zen Master Guangxiao, and it has nothing to do with me."
He gave Wu Daozi a look you know.
Several people sent out the monks to visit the guest and went straight to one of the nine treasures in Zhao Jinggong Temple, the Western mural of the Pure Land of Pure Land under the west corridor.
When Wu Daozi was learning painting, he also read all the famous walls of both cities. He naturally studied this Western Change of Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
But now when he came to the temple again and faced this painting wall, Wu Daozi had many new ideas. He opened his eyes and looked at the painting wall in front of him, and was amazed. The lotus pond on the painting wall was wonderful, the seven treasures were luxurious, and even the texture on the lotus petals in the merit pool was very clear.
More pure and subtle Zen meaning...
The entire mural depicts the Western Pure Land, and the pool of merits only occupies a corner of the picture.
It is conceivable that the rich content of the murals is.
Wu Daozi looked up at this painting and felt that the lotus flowers in the pool of merit were all alive, and the lotus leaves swayed slightly as if they were blown by the wind. The pool water rippled slightly, as if they would ripple at any time.
"No!" Wu Daozi was shocked. The ripples in the merit pool in the painting actually spread out!
At this moment, the lotus flowers in the pond were swaying in the wind, and the breeze even blew the hair on his forehead.
At this time, Wu Daozi discovered that he, Qian Chen and others had arrived at the edge of the Merit Pool at some point. The clean water in the pool was filled with clear spiritual light, containing extremely ethereal spiritual energy.
"Is this a secret realm? Or a small world in the painting?" Yan Shu opened his mouth and said, "Junior brother, when did you know that there is such a world here?"
"Sima Chengzhen told me!"
Yan Shu still wondered: "How could Sima Chengzhen, a Taoist master, know about this secret realm of the Buddhist merit pool?"
Qian Chen turned around and smiled slightly, "You'd better ask him yourself!"
After saying that, he got up and raised his feet, and stood on a lotus flower near the shore.
The lotus in the merit pool was as big as a wheel, and everyone stood on it. Yan Shu stood tentatively on a lotus leaf, and Wu Daozi, Zhang Xu and Cen Shen also followed the lotus leaf.
"This pool of merit seems real and illusion, it is a truly brilliant illusion!" Qian Chen explained with a smile: "So, everything here cannot be seen by common sense. Space and time are inverted and unpredictable!"
As they were talking, the lotus leaves under everyone's feet suddenly sank and flipped under the water.
Everyone turned their heads and feet upside down into the pool water, but the water surface seemed like an invisible boundary. The ethereal clean water stained their clothes, and the lotus seemed to be flipping 180 degrees.
But they still sat on the lotus leaves. The water surface of the pond beneath them reflected the shadows of countless lotus flowers, and the world around them had changed.
There are no endless lotus here. Apart from the lotus leaves sitting under them, they are like mirrors, clear and calm, and still as if they were mirrored.
There are also two lotus flowers floating on the water in the distance...
Sima Chengzhen, who was a little pale-faced, was sitting on a pink lotus. His heart was facing the sky, and a trace of purified water turned into mist, wrapped around him, constantly nourishing his injuries, causing his expression to improve slightly.
Above another white lotus, an old Zen master sat. He smiled, but his body kept emitting clear light, blending into the faint mist, covering Sima Chengzhen.
Wu Daozi said in surprise: "Sima Chengzhen, Zen Master Guangxiao?"
He felt as if he had seen an illusion... Sima Chengzhen, who had always hated Buddhism, was quite familiar with the Buddhist monk Zen Master Guangxiao. He looked like he had an affair!
It made him confused about what the situation was!
Yan Shu was even more surprised and suspicious.
He looked at Sima Chengzhen and said, "I remember, Tianshi, you have never liked Buddhism, why did you run to the secret realm of Buddhism again?"
Sima Chengzhen opened his eyes and stopped regulating his breath when he heard their voices.
He suppressed his injuries and smiled faintly, "Who could have thought that the great Taoist sect master would hide in the temple of Buddhism? You can't imagine that An Lushan would not have thought of it!"
Yan Shu pointed Sima Chengzhen with his finger, showed a sly smile on his face, and laughed in a low voice: "Okay, you a master, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you have hooked up with Buddhism!"
Sima Chengzhen smiled and said, "Is it not allowed my Taoist sect to be arranged in the Buddhist sect?"
Zen Master Guangxiao next to him smiled and said, "The Supreme Taoist master turned Hu into Buddha, and he is the Supreme Buddha Mother, the Supreme True Buddha. He has explained the Dharma and is an enlightened person. Therefore, Buddha is originally the Tao, and Buddha is also a golden immortal."
"Why can't there be disciples who are excited about the Supreme Master Buddha?"
"I am the Taoist Dajue Jinxian's heart cultivation lineage!"
Wu Daoxuan and Cen Shen were stunned, especially Wu Daozi, with his eyes even more shocked, as if he said again: "I have known you Guangxiao for decades, why don't you know that you are a Buddhist son or a Buddhist sect from the Taozu-Chuan Buddhism?"
Sima Chengzhen and Qian Chen looked at each other and smiled, and did not speak out.
Before Sima Chengzhen left, he was worried that he might never go back, but he told Qian Chen about the various hints in Chang'an. He also mentioned that Zhao Jinggong Temple was an apparent Buddhist temple, but in fact it was also a palace of the Dajue Jinxian lineage.
Nails arranged in Buddhism for the Taoist sect...
Among the murals of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the temple, there is also a cave world hidden in the Pure Land Dharma Realm, which Buddhism calls it.
Moreover, Zhao Jinggong Temple is also one of the important formation eyes of the Chang'an Shendu Formation.
An ancient octagonal well in front of Temple Street has sweet water quality, but it secretly connects to the groundwater veins of Chang'an. Together with several wellbores in the temple, it is also a secret passage that can silently penetrate into and out of Chang'an.
Qian Chen took Sima Chengzhen's seal of Heavenly Master, and was able to win the trust of Zen Master Yu Guangxiao and mobilized part of the potential power of the Taoist sect in Chang'an.
Since its founding, the Tang Dynasty has worshipped the Taishang Taoist ancestor as Emperor Xuanyuan. He has been worshipping Taoism for hundreds of years. I don’t know how many officials and families in Chang'an City who believe in Taoism.
These people are hidden forces in the Taoist sect when necessary!
At critical moments, Qian Chen can use the Tianshi Seal to activate them.
Zhao Jinggong Temple is one of the hidden weapons that ambushed the Taoist sect, two of which are important array eyes, three of which can quietly enter and exit the secret passages of Chang'an, and four of which there is also a secret hiding place.
With so many factors combined, it is really an excellent place to arrange a secret hand.
