Chapter 54: The fate of Buddha in Western Zen

The next day, when I asked for leave again, Sun Yuanchao finally couldn't help asking:

"Changfeng, you asked for leave for three consecutive days. Is there anything wrong? If you really have something to do, you might as well take a leave."

I said embarrassedly:

"It's nothing. A few friends came to Fuzhou to play these two days. I want to accompany them!"

Sun Yuanchao said relievedly:

"So that's it. No problem. Go and come back early and pay attention to safety... By the way, have you ever contacted the leader when you went out last time? We couldn't cover up the last notice. Other companies have already communicated to every soldier. We will read it out when we call the name tonight."

I said indifferently: "Then let's convey it! Anyway, our own brothers all know what's going on... I've found a few leaders, so let's take a look at it next. At worst, I won't be the company commander!"

The matter is too big, I can't reveal anything to Sun Yuanchao.

Sun Yuanchao sighed and said:

"Okay! Xiao Lu, if you have something to do, leave quickly! Remember not to forget the time of the holiday!"

I nodded and turned around and walked out of the office.

When I changed into casual clothes and took a taxi to the West Lake Hotel, only Fu Chun had already gotten up. He was sitting leisurely on the balcony. Zhou Lixiong and Fat Pig King were still sleeping with their heads covering their heads. Everyone must have been very tired last night.

Fu Chun said to me with a smile:

"Xiao Lu came quite early! They haven't gotten up yet! By the way, where are you going to take us to play today?"

I thought about it and asked:

"Or why don't we go to Xichan Temple first? It's pretty good. If you are interested, you can have vegetarian food in the temple at noon."

Fu Chun nodded and said:

"Okay! It doesn't matter where you go. This time I was just looking at you, brother."

After the fat pig king and Zhou Lixiong slept happily until they woke up naturally, we hurriedly had "breakfast" and drove straight to Xichan Temple. Xichan Temple is located in the western suburbs of Fuzhou. Of course, with the rapid development of the city, it now belongs to the city. This ancient temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and has a long history. It is famous both at home and abroad. The scenery in the temple is pleasant, and lychee trees are planted everywhere. In the ripe season, the yard is full of fruits.

We bought the ticket and walked into the temple. While everyone was listening enthusiastically to the introduction of my temporary tour guide, they walked inside. When we walked into the yard, we were facing a huge artificial lake. A curved bridge was cleverly set up on the small lake. A huge statue of Guanyin stood in the middle of the lake. The treasure was solemn, and the good men and women were worshiping devoutly. The Guanyin statue was facing the lake, and cigarette smoke was curiously curiously. Zhou Lixiong pointed to the lake and said:

“There are so many fish here!”

I explained with a smile: "This is the release pond of Xichan Temple. Many believers specially bought fish or turtles to release them. And tourists also like to feed fish, so this place has become their paradise."

Looking around, fish were crowded on the lake, and some even jumped out of the water, including huge catfish, carp and a small number of turtles. Many tourists specially brought steamed buns, carefully broke them and threw them into the pool. At this time, a large number of fish would be attracted to grab food.

Fu Chun said with a smile:

"I will come here to live for a while when I retire. The environment here is really good and it can make people feel very calm..."

The fat pig king said with a smile:

"It's impossible for me to stop eating meat in temples and I won't let you drink alcohol. If I come here for a few days, I will have to be so suffocated!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing. We continued to walk forward, and Zhou Lixiong pointed to the spire of the tower hidden under the shadow of the tree and asked:

"Changfeng, there is still a tower here?"

I smiled and said:

"This is the famous Boen Tower. Speaking of Boen Tower, it has a connection with Shuanglin Temple in Singapore!"

Everyone asked me to introduce it with interest, and I said with a smile:

"This Pawn of Forge Tower was raised by Master Tan Chan, the host of Shuanglin Temple in Singapore. Since 1983, Master Tan Chan was appointed as the successor of Shuanglin Temple by Xichan Temple. In order to thank the ancestral temple for its cultivation, it was named the "Pawn of Forge Tower". This pagoda has 15 floors, a total of 67 meters high. Each floor of the pagoda wall is inlaid with carefully carved Buddha statues and Buddhist stories, and is decorated with patterns of birds, animals, flowers, plants, insects and fish. It can be said to be a solemn and beautiful artistic stone pagoda."

Everyone was curious and asked to visit immediately. So I led them through a small wood and came to the Pagoda. I looked up at the top of the tower and suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in my heart. I felt that this Pagoda was very friendly, as if there was any necessary connection with me. My family lived nearby. I had been to Xichan Temple before and went to Pagoda, but I never felt this way...

Fu Chun saw me standing blankly at the bottom of the tower, he walked over, pointed to the sign at the door, and asked with a smile:

"Changfeng, why are you stunned? Could it be that you can't bear to give up the ticket for a dollar and want your brothers to check at the bottom of the tower and leave?"

I came to my senses and said with a smile:

"How can I do it! I'll buy a ticket now!"

The ticket to Xichan Temple is five yuan, but if you want to pay the Enta Tower, you must buy another one-yuan "tower ticket". Despite this, it is still much cheaper than many famous tourist attractions today. After I bought the tickets, I led my brothers into the first floor of the tower.

In addition to the Buddha statue, there is also a huge merit box on the first floor, which is different from the ordinary merit box. The place where this merit box is invested is two small holes, one big and one small. Many people exchanged many coins and knelt on the cushion in front of the merit box, aimed at the small hole and threw it. Those who threw it in were extremely happy. They felt that the Buddha would definitely bless him if he accepted his offering.

We naturally smiled and climbed upwards. On the third floor, there was a hall. The murals on the wall told us classic Buddhist stories. Lifelike Buddha statues were carved around the corridor outside the tower. We walked over by Buddha statue. The feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger. The dragon true energy on my body was actually ready to move, especially when I stared at the Buddha statue. This feeling was the strongest. I almost couldn't control the true energy running on its own. I didn't know whether it was a disaster or a blessing, so I didn't dare to let the true energy run, so I had to try my best to control it.

Fu Chun seemed to feel something was wrong with me, turned his head and looked at me, and said in surprise:

"Changfeng, there seems to be a faint golden light on your face!"

I asked ignorantly:

"What golden light? I don't know! Maybe it's the sun shining on my face!"

Fu Chun pulled me and said:

"Really, I didn't lie to you. If it was sunshine, why didn't we have any on our faces!"

After saying that, he turned around and called Zhou Lixiong and the fat pig king who were looking out from the railing, and said:

"You look at Changfeng's face carefully and find anything?"

Zhou Lixiong and the Fat Pig King immediately surrounded me and stared at me like a monkey show for a long time. The Fat Pig King said:

"Not to say, it's really a little different from before, but I can't tell you why it's different. It seems to make people admire you..."

Zhou Lixiong, the big man, asked stupidly:

"Why can't I see it? Isn't this the same Feng Feng as before? The nose is the nose, the eyes are the eyes, and there are no missing parts!"

I spat, "Nonsense, your nose is not a nose!"

Everyone laughed, and I thought to myself:

"Does this Longteng have any connection with Buddhism? It's so tiring to practice this thing. Without a master telling me how to practice it, I even have only a slight understanding of the origin of this Luo Shizi's internal skills. It's a miracle that I can practice until today without getting into a devil!"

Everyone joked a few times, but didn't care, so they continued to climb up. The closer they approached the top of the tower, the stronger the feeling in my heart, and it seemed that the tower and I were one. Every time we went to the corridor outside, we had to go to the corridor outside to appreciate the lifelike Buddha statue. Every time we walked the floor, the more intense the dragon's true energy in my body became. I even had the idea of ​​not controlling it and letting it flow, but I still restrained it.

Soon we climbed to the top of the tower easily. The hundreds of steps were not even a side dish for the four special forces soldiers. Everyone was not blushing or breathing. Perhaps due to the height, the wind on the top of the tower was still relatively strong, blowing on their faces, making people feel relaxed and happy. We leaned on the railings and leisurely looked at the tall buildings in the distance.

Fu Chun said:

"I feel more and more that this is a good place. When I retire in the future, I must stay here for a while!"

I said jokingly:

"There is another better place in the Zen temple, which is dedicated to storing ashes for believers. Many Buddhist disciples chose to sleep here after their deaths. You can also consider it!"

Fu Chun cursed with a smile:

"You little brat, curse me to death! Haha, if I really died young, I wouldn't let you go even if I was a ghost!"

At this time, everyone was very relaxed, so they joked unscrupulously, but at this time I never thought that today's joke later became a reality...

Everyone was walking on the top of the tower for a while, then made an appointment to go somewhere else to take a look. My heart moved and said:

"Brothers, you go down first and go for a walk by yourself. I'll go down to find you later!"

Fu Chun asked with concern:

"What's wrong with Changfeng? Is there anything wrong?"

The fat pig king pulled Fu Chun away and said:

"Let's just leave him alone. This kid might get weaker when he sees that girl with a pretty girl. Let's play with us!"

Then he turned around and shouted:

"Changfeng, be at ease! Don't be beaten by someone's boyfriend..."

After saying that, he pushed Fu Chun downstairs. The other tourists on the top of the tower looked at me strangely. I glared at the back of the fat pig king, then walked into the hall with awkward expression and looked at the Buddha statue carefully.

This Buddha statue looks a bit ferocious, with all its beards and hair, and is very strong. It seems a little different from the kind-eyed Buddha statue I often see on weekdays. Although I can't call it which Buddha this is, as long as I stare at the Buddha statue, my heart will be very peaceful, and I don't even realize the tourists coming and going around me. There are the most tourists on the top floor. When everyone comes to the Pagoda, they naturally want to climb to the top of the tower. Moreover, this is the highest point of Xichan Temple, so it is naturally the best place to enjoy the scenery.

I tried my best to capture the subtle feeling in my heart that was understandable and unexplainable. I seemed to have grasped some thoughts several times, but I couldn't express them. This feeling was like my heart was scratched by a cat. Just when I was immersed in meditation, someone said beside me:

"The donor's treasure is solemn and has a great connection with Buddha!"

I didn't even realize the noise around me, but the sound seemed to be said in my ear, extremely clear. I immediately came to my senses and looked around.

I am a master wearing this cassock and looking at me kindly. I have been to Xichen Temple several times. I know that those practitioners usually stay in the meditation room behind and cannot easily come to the tourist spot in front. I don’t know why this master appeared at the top of the tower of repaying grace, but I didn’t care about it and asked with a smile:

"Oh? How can I tell?"

The master clasped his hands together and said slowly:

"Just just now, the donor's expression in front of the Buddha statue was very peaceful and pious. I may not be able to be as calm as ever after practicing for many years! If I was not wrong, the donor must have had a Buddhist connection when he was young!"

I shook my head and said:

"No, maybe I was so fascinated by what I thought about just now!"

The master's face showed a look of surprise, and he said:

"Impossible. I am confident that I will not miss it. The donor think about it carefully. Have you ever had a connection with me? "

I said with a smile:

"Whether you are destined or not, life is only a hundred years, why should the master be so persistent..."

The master's face was erect, and his hands were closed and he said, "The donor is great wisdom, I have received the teachings!"

After saying that, I slowly went downstairs again. Although it was a little inexplicable, it made me fall into deep thought. I am almost sure that Longteng must have a connection with Buddhism, but what should I do! Without anyone to give me some advice, I was still unable to enter!

When I thought of Long Teng again, my heart suddenly moved, "Dingdeng" down a floor. Sure enough, there was not even a person here. This is the mentality of people. Although the upper and lower floors are similar, most people are concentrated on the upper floor, and few people will come to the 14th floor to see when they go down.

I walked to the empty corridor, came to a Buddha statue, sat cross-legged, staring at him intently, slowly, my mind began to enter the state of tranquility just now. I closed my eyes and slowly circulated the dragon-teng true qi. At this time, the true qi was extremely active. As long as I activated it, they immediately ran happily. Yes, it was cheerful, and I seemed to be able to feel the true qi mood.
