I preached in the Six Dynasties

Chapter 468 Buddhism
Hangzhou City, Lingyin Temple.

The inside and outside of the mountain temple are full of dense old trees, lining the stone paths with verdant green. Along with the gurgling spring water, the statue of Feilai Peak on the other side is more simple and solemn.

Li Yu came to worship the temple, followed by Li Jun and Zhu Wu.

Entering the temple, Li Yu went up the steep stairs. Not far away, a corner of the main hall eaves slanted out from the shade of the trees, leaping an arc in the quiet line of sight, highlighting a touch of lightness in this solemn and solemn place. It has the meaning of "ancient temples hidden in deep mountains" and "deep flowers and trees in Zen houses".

There are five main halls in Lingyin Temple, which are Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Hall, Pharmacist Hall, Cangjing Building and Huayan Hall.

It is the largest courtyard in Tianwangdian Temple and has the longest history.Most of the buildings in the courtyard were built hundreds of years ago when Buddhism was at its peak. At that time, it was known as the Buddhist Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were [-] temples in Hangzhou.Today, the ancient system of building a platform with stones and building a wooden structure is still preserved.

The stone platform is about four or five feet high, which is much higher than the two-foot platform of Daxiangguo Temple. Large pieces of raw stone are used to beat and connect tightly, and then the surface is repaired into a flat tortoise shell, just like a fortification of a city.

The outer walls of the building do not use masonry, but are made of precious woods such as the whole mast cedar or golden nan, planed into inch-thick wall panels, and are connected by mortise and tenon, without a single nail.There is no extra decoration on the beams, but the bucket arches are stacked like mountains, which shows the ingenious construction method.

Jinsinan's wood is straight and has few knots. There are gold threads in the wood grain. It is not afraid of decay if it is not painted.

Therefore, the buildings in the courtyard do not use paint, which is different from the colorful and exquisitely painted decorations of ordinary temples. Only the bare and shiny wood color is exposed, and there is a hidden glow in the sun, lining up with the lush pines and cypresses all over the courtyard. , Exuding an ancient and quiet solemnity and solemnity.

"Three, our prison temple invites you."

Li Yu nodded and stepped in. Although he is known as the public enemy of Buddhism, in Jiangnan, everyone has an enemy now, and that is Fang La.

When Li Yu came to Lingyin Temple, the minimum requirement was to keep them neutral, and not to stab him in the back when he was in a decisive battle with Qingxi Cave.

Of course, it would be even better if they were willing to contribute.In Lingyin Temple, there are quite a few masters, whose strength is far superior to the Taoist priests in Dongxu Palace.

Zen Master Dehui was in charge of guiding them. He didn't see the slightest hostility towards Li Yu. After all, although Li Yu was called a public enemy of Buddhism, he actually only harmed the interests of the Three Great Tang Temples and Daxiangguo Temple.

The four of them chatted while walking, and they came to a strange building. Li Yu had never seen a Buddhist temple with this structure before.

The building is also made of square-cut gray stones stacked into a tortoise shell-shaped platform. The houses on top are all wooden structures, but the wood is shiny and shiny with golden strands. Looking from a distance, it looks like amber. generally.

Apparently, this courtyard is very old, still above the buildings all over the garden. You must know that Lingyin Temple is an ancient temple that is close to a thousand years old.But the most peculiar thing is not the ancient, but the strange structure of the building.

Sensing Li Yu's gaze, Zen Master Dehui said with a smile: "This is where the ancestor of our temple had his epiphany - the Great Compassion Building. It was he who left this Great Compassion Building and let future generations build the Yinling Temple based on it."

Li Yu nodded. This place is really wonderful and magnificent. If you study it carefully, you should get something. Unfortunately, there is not much time today.

I feel that every sect with rich background has some exquisite buildings, which contain infinite mysteries.

It's no wonder that among the big sects, it is easy to produce people with advanced cultivation bases. For example, in Lingyin Temple, there will be a Daoji Living Buddha in the future, also known as Jigong.

Walking into the Hall of Heavenly Kings, a monk was sitting on a futon. His figure was very burly, although he was not as tall as Lu Zhishen, but he was not far behind.

After the four of Li Yu came in, he raised his eyelids, and De Hui smiled and said, "Brother presiding officer, this is Li Yu, the great sage of Zhengjing, who is also the head teacher of the Zhengjing sect. Head teacher Li, this is the master of this temple, Master De Shao."

De Shao stood up, clasped his hands together, and said, "I've heard the name of the great sage for a long time, but seeing him today, I'm sure he's very handsome."

Li Yu also bent down slightly, and said: "Master Deshao's Buddhism is profound, and I have heard it for a long time."

"Please!"

Li Yu found a futon to sit down on, and the hall exuded a scent of Buddha that became stronger and stronger over time. De Shao asked, "Headmaster Li came from Bianliang, so there must be something wrong."

"Fang La has been a disaster for Jiangnan for a long time. The imperial court is going to wipe out this bandit completely. Her Majesty the Empress sent me here to make a little contribution."

De Shao nodded secretly in his heart, the imperial court was bound to win this time, the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were too weak in the past, and the generals were incompetent, which allowed Fang La to survive in such a climate.

I had peeked at Yue Fei's camp before, and now the Yue family's army was far from being comparable to the Song army yesterday, and this time Li Yu was sent over again, greatly increasing the chances of winning.

Others may not know that it is impossible for an eminent monk like De Shao not to know how powerful Li Yu is.

"With Master Li in charge, Fang La must be unable to escape this time." De Shao said a polite word, and Li Yu was waiting for the next sentence, but he didn't say anything.

Want to watch from the sidelines?

Li Yu sighed and said: "Fang La is a disaster for Jiangnan Dao. Master and Lingyin Temple are the leaders of Jiangnan Dao Buddhism. Countless believers and monks are waiting eagerly. I hope Master can help and punish this bandit."

De Shao nodded and said, "Although my Lingyin Temple is weak and weak, it is my duty to do this. De Hui, you take ten disciples to the barracks to save the dead soldiers."

"Yes, host."

Li Yu supported his knees, stood up, and smiled.

Behind him, both Li Jun and Zhu Wu were faintly angry.

De Shao didn't realize it, and continued to say: "Is Zhangjiao Li going to leave? The poor monk should personally send the Zhangjiao down the mountain."

"No need." Li Yu waved his hand and said, "I, Li Yu, can go up the mountain and go down. The mage can just sit here."

Li Jun also sneered and said, "The mage sitting here is the greatest support."

The three walked away, Dehui said with a worried expression: "Brother presider, if you don't send someone, don't send someone, or let me take the disciples for a walk, why bother to provoke this person."

De Shao said with a smile: "Jiangnan Daoism, Buddhism and Taoism do not welcome Lin Lingsu and his successors. Whether this place belongs to Fang La or Song Dynasty, we are all practicing behind closed doors. The only thing we can't do is let Jiangnan Dao fall In the hands of this person, look at the Daxiangguo Temple in Bianliang, I am often afraid that our Lingyin Temple will also become his Taoist school."

De Hui leaned forward and whispered, "What do you mean, brother?"

De Shao shook his head lightly, and said, "Let's wait and see what happens, and take action when necessary."

"Jiangnan Dao is today, and it is definitely not the fault of Zhao Ji alone. I think Jiangnan Dao itself is already rotten." Li Yu said coldly, "Especially the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism."

Li Jundao: "Teacher, the battle is imminent, it is not appropriate to cause trouble."

Li Yu turned his head, looked at Lingyin Temple covered by greenery, and said with a smile, "I have my own means to deal with them."

　New Year's Eve is coming soon, I wish you all a prosperous new year
