Cangyan Mountain, a branch of Taihang Mountain, is located in Jingcheng County, Xingzhou, Datang River North Road.The scenery of Cangyan Mountain is beautiful, and it integrates the beauty of "majestic, strange, beautiful, dangerous and secluded".Since ancient times, it has enjoyed the reputation of "five mountains are beautiful and one mountain, and the peaks of Taihang are only cangyan".The ancient trees on the mountain are towering to the sky, the mountains are stacked and green, the natural landscape is peculiar and varied, among them, the "Sixteen Views of Cangyan" such as "Bijian Lingtan", "Yin Cliff Stone Milk", "Cliff Inlaid Beads", "Furnace Peak Sunset", "Mountainside Qi Cypress", "Trick Open Farewell" and so on.When Zhao Yunze's team arrived at Cangyan Mountain, it was already the third day of the first lunar month.Originally, Zhao Yunze didn't plan to go to Jingcheng County.But Xiao said that her daughter was ordained at the Xingshan Temple in Cangyan Mountain in Jingcheng County.Anyway, there wasn't much to detour, so Zhao Yunze changed the original route and led the team to Cangyan Mountain.Note: Xingshan Temple, later renamed Fuqing Temple.When the team arrived at the foot of Cangyan Mountain, Zhao Yunze asked the team to wait at the foot of the mountain, and he accompanied the Xiao family, only leading the Xiao family's maids and Zhang Cheng to Cangyan Mountain.Although it is the middle of winter, Cangyan Mountain is not lacking in green.Hardy pine, bamboo, and cypress can be seen everywhere, and the snow reflects the emerald green like water.The beauty of Cangyan Mountain has not been disturbed by the cold winter at all, but is even more lovely.Along the stone steps of climbing, Zhao Yunze, Xiao Shi and others climbed the mountain.This climbing stone staircase, built between the east and west peaks, is located in the camel valley.While walking, I saw that there were cliffs on both sides from time to time, and on the cliffs, between the cliffs, there were countless cypress trees, or standing, or sideways, or hanging upside down.However, the peculiarity is that no matter how many cypress trees are in various shapes, and no matter whether they are cypress trees in the east, west, north and south, the treetops are actually facing the same direction."
Strange, could it be that there is some mysterious power in that direction that attracts these trees" Subconsciously, Zhao Yunze muttered to himself."
Peng Yu is really right," Xiao Shi said with a slight smile, "The direction in which these cypress trees grow is where Xingshan Temple is located.This is the ancient cypress pilgrimage, one of the three unique pilgrimages of Cangyan Mountain. ”"Could it be that these trees are all planted artificially, and they are intentionally made to grow towards Xingshan Temple," Zhao Yunze said in surprise."
It's not artificially planted, how can people stand on those cliffs," Xiao said, "Perhaps, Xingshan Temple was built because of the direction of these ancient cypresses, and it was deliberately chosen in its place." ”"Probably.The builder of the Xingshan Temple is also clever, so the Xingshan Temple must be full of incense. ”Zhao Yunze nodded and said."
Niangniang, it's almost time to Xingshan Temple" Zhao Yunze and Xiao Shi, after climbing the mountain for a long time, he also felt tired.On the other hand, Xiao Shi does not seem to be tired.Maybe it's her eagerness to see her daughter that gives her strength.Xiao Shi pointed forward and said, "Peng Yu looks at the mountain gate, Xingshan Temple is at the mountain gate." ”Zhao Yunze looked up, but it was another strange scene.However, I saw that the cliff of the east peak stretched out a westward slope in the middle of the waist, and formed a spectacular natural mountain gate with the west peak.Looking from afar, I only see the mountain gate, but it is difficult to see other landscapes, and those trees are nowhere to be seen."
This place is called Luantaikou, and the sixteen views of Cangyan are located here."
Xiao said."
Oh, then let's go quickly and enter Xingshan Temple to rest."
Zhao Yunze said.Everyone struggled forward, and after a while, they arrived at the entrance of Luantai.At this time, Zhao Yunze saw Xingshan Temple.Xingshan Temple skillfully borrowed the mountain situation, and it was built in the mountain pass, and the lush forests and valleys were hidden behind it.Perhaps because of the festival, Zhao Yunze and others climbed all the way up the mountain, but did not see other guests worshipping the mountain.Now when I arrived at the gate of Xingshan Temple, I didn't see anyone worshipping the temple.This is very different from the Golden Week of later generations.In the Golden Week of later generations, which scenic spot is not crowded with people, and it is difficult to see the scenery just by looking at people.It's definitely not as deserted as it is now.Even the temple gate of Naxingzenji Temple is closed.Zhao Yunze stepped forward and knocked on the knocker.After a while, the temple door opened with a "rattle" and a small novice walked out."
Amitabha, all the donors want to enter the temple to worship" The little novice clasped his hands together and asked everyone with the Buddha's name."
The little master is invited, we are here to find Master Jingchen of your temple.This old lady is the mother of Mrs.
Jingchen. ”Zhao Yunze also gave a Buddhist salute to the little novice and said."
Ladies and gentlemen, although Master Jingchen is a monk in this temple, her place of practice is not in the temple, but behind the temple."
The little novice replied.When Xiao Shi heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The little master is tired of leading the old man to see my hard-working daughter. ”"Amitabha, the old Bodhisattva said carefully.The suffering of the world is due to infatuation, and if you let go of infatuation, you will become a Buddha immediately.Master Jingchen has already entered my Buddhism, so why should I suffer?"
the little novice suddenly told Xiao Shi about Buddhism.Zhao Yunze rolled his eyes, and asked the little novice angrily: "Little master, I have a question for you."
When you wake up in the morning, the things under your crotch will be lifted to the sky" This little novice is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and it is when the young man is full of anger, if you want to say that he has no reaction to the morning lift, Zhao Yunze does not believe it.Hearing Zhao Yunze suddenly ask the little monk such a question, Xiao Shi blushed.The little novice's face turned even redder, "Don't play the little monk," the little novice said angrily and embarrassed."
Hehe, the color precept is the first major precept of Buddhism, and the little master seems to have six uncleans," Zhao Yunze laughed, "Besides, the old lady just said the word hard life, and the little master spoke with Buddhism, isn't this that you deliberately show off your half-understood Buddhist master's ordinary heart" Zhao Yunze taught a lesson, and the little novice's face turned even redder."
If the little master wants to have a heart, he will lead me to see Mrs.
Jingchen; If you don't have the heart, you can enter from the closed mountain gate.Why bother to say anything about the earthly Buddha, suffering and obsession. ”Zhao Yunze said again."
Amitabha, the benefactor is taught.It's the little monk who is in love. ”The little novice admitted his mistake and said, "Everyone, follow the little monk to see Master Jingchen." ”The people didn't even enter the temple gate, so they followed the little novice to the back of the temple."
The fragrance is still at sunset, but the heart is a little; When the fire in the furnace is exhausted, the horse must be firmly chained. ”While walking, Zhao Yunze seemed to be interested, and actually chanted a sentence casually."
Lord Zhao, what are you chanting about, it sounds so profound."
Zhang Cheng scratched his head and asked Zhao Yunze."
Hehe, this is the Buddha's principle, and you don't understand it."
Zhao Yunze's eyes stared at the smooth round head of the little novice who walked in front, and said to Zhang Cheng."
Poof", Xiao suddenly laughed."
Peng Yu, don't disrespect the Buddhist family, your righteous sister is also a disciple of Buddhism now.""
Oh, I forgot about it."
Zhao Yunze scratched his head in embarrassment."
It's strange, isn't Lord Zhao talking about Buddhism, and how can he be disrespectful to Buddhism" Zhang Cheng was confused.A maid seemed to understand something at this time, and after her eyes lit up, she covered her mouth and snickered."
Miss Caihe, what are you laughing at?"
Zhang Cheng asked the maid.The maid continued to cover her mouth, lowered her voice and said to Zhang Cheng: "Brother Zhang, let me tell you, the sentence that Lord Zhao chanted just now is clearly two anagrams.The mystery is combined, and it is the word bald donkey. ”"Ah" Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then gave a thumbs up to Zhao Yunze: "Lord Zhao, when it comes to boredom and boldness, you belong to this part":
