Chapter 1668 Magical Local Legend
“Is the electric light installed in my room too?”
“Yes, the main rooms of the grain station are equipped with electric lights. But now the power station only has 3,000 watts. The power generation is still at the daily peak, which cannot be reached most of the time except for ensuring classroom lighting, which is one hundred watts for five fluorescent tubes. Every room has a light tube, 20 watts.”
“The situation will not be improved until wind power is introduced in the future,” Zhou Zhi said with a smile, “Only when the national grid is brought in can the entire township’s needs be completely solved. Electricity problem."
"Thank you, brother Zhuzi, come and give me a toast." Azi picked up the milk tea and clinked a cup with Zhou Zhi.
"Come and eat!" Wu Renzhong came over with a large plate of roasted meat: "It's really killing me!"
"Take it easy, don't have diarrhea like last time." Shama Ricong reminded .
Zhou Zhile is happy. After being locked up in Lianhe Township for too long, my stomach and intestines have adapted to the light food. I was exposed to too much oil and water all at once. This problem may really occur.
But he said: "Actually, Lianhe Township is not too bad now. At least the oil can be used now, and we can make dried tofu ourselves and eat it as meat."
" I admit that the bear paw tofu you make tastes good,” Wu Renzhong said, “but I can’t accept the logic of tofu topped with meat.”
"If you don't believe me, ask Azi." Zhou Zhi picked up a bunch of sizzling and oily grilled small intestines. He had wanted to eat this for a long time: "Tofu is mainly protein. We eat meat mainly to supplement protein, but one is vegetable protein. , one is just animal protein.”
“After decomposition, they are all amino acids, and they are all the same for human body absorption.”
"Azi, are they the same?"
"Theoretically, this is true, but there are many kinds of amino acids, some of which are unique to meat, and plant protein cannot replace them." Azi smiled: " But the impact shouldn’t be too big. Aren’t there many people who only eat vegetarian food?”
“Speaking of vegetarian food, the monks at Lingshan Temple must be vegetarian,” Shama Ricong said.
This girl is a Yi who grew up in the city. She has been completely Hanized. Apart from her facial features and figure, she can also see the characteristics of the Yi people. No matter how she dresses or talks and behaves, she is no different from the Han people. She also seems to be a bit Buddhist.
"Lingshan Temple..." Zhou Zhi thought thoughtfully when he heard the name, and said, "I have to go and see it sometime. I heard that it is effective."
"It's mainly Lingshan Temple. The temple used to enshrine the physical Bodhisattva." Wu Renzhong was very excited when talking about this: "Unfortunately, it was stolen later and was recovered at the foot of the mountain. The monks in the temple were afraid that there would be such trouble in the future, so they simply gave it away. Cremated."
After that, he said mysteriously: "I heard that one hundred and eight relics were burned and enshrined in the pagoda."
The physical body of Lingshan Temple. There are many versions of the legend of the Bodhisattva. Around the time of the Republic of China, an eminent monk stationed there and practiced medicine while collecting medicine to save people. His medical skills were quite good, and many Yi and Han villagers around him benefited from his grace.
Then one day, the eminent monk gathered all his disciples and told them that he would pass away in the next two days. If he could not find himself, they should go to the top of the mountain and have a look.
If you see yourself, don't cremate it, take it back and put it in your room. If it doesn't rot, just put a piece of incense on it every day, as usual.
Two days later, when the disciples got up, they found that the eminent monk had disappeared. Remembering the master's instructions, they searched along the path up the mountain. Finally, they found the eminent monk on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain and found that he had passed away. . But the strange thing is that the eminent monk passed away standing. When the disciples found him, they thought he was still alive, but they just yelled no, and when they got closer, they found that he was gone.
The person has gone and can still stand on the edge of the cliff. This is a miracle. With this miracle, the disciples are more respectful and recall the master's words. He told me to carry him down the mountain quickly, put him in his cassock and robe, and put him in his Zen room while still standing.
Then the disciples took turns to burn incense every day, and the corpse never rotted, but gradually dried up.
The news spread to all over the country and caused a sensation. It was said that the old monk of Lingshan Temple had become a Buddha in body and left behind a legacy. More and more believers came to offer incense and worship, and the scope was also wide. As the temple became wider and wider, the monks sealed the remains of the old Zen master with clay, carved them into the way the Zen master looked when he was alive, and painted them with gold paint.
This is even more remarkable. In the end, the old Zen master became the physical Bodhisattva of Lingshan Temple.
People who have worshiped there say that it is very efficacious. I don’t know how efficacious it is. But when I visited there a thousand years ago in the last life, I saw someone carrying a snakeskin pocket of banknotes. It was about I was very surprised when I paid more than 100,000 yuan to fulfill my wish.
However, both Zhou and Zhi believed in Confucianism, and they basically visited temples mainly to appreciate architecture, sculptures, couplets and calligraphy.
The reason why I was deeply impressed by Lingshan Temple is that on the way up the mountain, I can see the snow-capped peaks, the green pines and cypresses that are more than a thousand years old, the yellow gables that are very different from those in the Han Dynasty, and the magnificent temples with orange glazed tile roofs. Today, It is a rare sight on the land of China.
“Actually, speaking of mysterious temples, I know there is another one across from Qionghai.” Jike Azi said.
"Is there one?" Wu Renzhong asked: "Apart from Qionghai, there is a barren mountain with nothing but a small fishing village that is now engaged in tourism reception."
"There is a small fishing village next to it. Wanzi, what's the name of that place?" Jike Azi reminded Wu Renzhong.
"I know this, it's called Qinglong Temple." Wu Renzhong said with certainty: "But there is nothing over there, it is definitely a wasteland!"
"I used to like to ride a motorcycle around Qionghai on weekends. I used to go there and cross the Haihe River on a mud path. It was so exciting to go off-road. You can't lie to me, Azi."
"I also came here after "Listen to the stories told by the fishermen," Azi said with a smile. There are two yellow jujube trees in front of the Qinglong Temple, and there is a temple at the deepest part of Qionghai, called Zitong Temple. "
"There used to be a county there called Zitong County. Suddenly one day. The underground fell, and the entire county was submerged by the gushing water. It became Qionghai. Fishermen said that if the weather is clear and the water is clear, you can still vaguely see the outlines of submerged buildings and roof tiles on the seabed there. "
"Later, that place was occupied by the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The fourth prince, Xiao Qinglong, took a fancy to it and moved in. "
“Whenever there was a drought, the Fourth Prince often showed his power to rain to fight the drought when Qiongdu was experiencing drought. In order to commemorate him, the people built the Qinglong Temple on the shore opposite the Zitong Temple under the water to offer sacrifices. Offer to his holy image ”
"When the incense became strong, it alerted God. God sent Guanyin Bodhisattva down to inspect the good deeds of the little green dragon. Guanyin Bodhisattva took it with him and took it to heaven, becoming a true god."
"Now. Every year on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, fishing People will worship him. It is said that if you are lucky, you can easily see the shadow of the dragon in the west in the evening. There are even legends about seeing the holy statue of Guanyin standing on the blue dragon in the sky in the west. "
“Tch, I’ll go Why haven’t I seen it before so many times?” Wu Renzhong expressed disbelief, but he particularly praised the scenery there: “But the scenery there is beautiful. One summer I was riding a motorcycle there, and there was a sudden rainstorm, so I hid there. Looking at the sea under the tree, it’s too late after the rain stops When Yang Zhong came out, I saw with my own eyes that the sea water turned into a mixture of distinct colors such as red, black, and green. Unfortunately, I didn't bring a camera at the time, so it was difficult to take pictures.
