Chapter 407 Jinchan Temple
Dong——dong——
The bell rang slowly, and the pilgrims walking in Jinchan Temple raised their heads one after another, facing the place where the bell rang, revealing their faces. A look of pious yearning.
In the crowd, Yue Heng was slightly solemn.
He also followed Zhong Sheng, but his expression was not pious or yearning, but a little nervous.
"There is magic in this bell..." He murmured secretly: "It seems to be able to cleanse the mind and calm the mind... So the magic can be used in this way? Jin Chan Temple is indeed what Brother Fu said, the largest sect in the world. Ah."
Why did Yue Heng appear in Jinchan Temple?
Of course Fu Qingzhou asked him to come.
Yue Heng’s identity is extremely clean.
I am a scholar, preparing for the minor imperial examination next spring. I have recently been cleared of my grievances and escaped from prison. At this time, I came to the largest Jinchan Temple in the capital to burn incense and pray for peace. Smooth, very reasonable, right?
And Fu Qingzhou invited him to Jinchan Temple, of course, not just to take a look.
Yue Heng's magic talent is far stronger than he imagined.
The Buddhist seal on the big iron box has troubled Fu Qingzhou for a long time. Even Jiang Baichuan couldn't solve it, so he could only...find a solution from the source.
Before coming to Jinchan Temple, Fu Qingzhou gave Yue Heng a general look at the spells on the iron box.
Of course, with Yue Heng’s ability, it is definitely impossible to solve it.
But he was able to roughly write down the style of this spell, and he wandered around Jinchan Temple to look for any traces of the same or similar spells.
Yue Heng was extremely happy to be able to help his brother.
"Don't be anxious, don't be nervous, Yue Heng, ah Yue Heng, you are a person who wants to do big things, how can you be so uneasy?"
He secretly said to himself: "But Just walking around and looking around, such a small thing is easy for you!"
After muttering to himself, he calmed down and his steps gradually slowed down.
Jinchan Temple is very big.
The entire temple has five major halls, four courtyards, and two wing rooms on the east and west. There is also a large Buddhist cave carving on the back mountain, and a long tree-lined walkway connecting several courtyards and main halls.
Right now, it only took Yue Heng a quarter of an hour to walk from the temple gate to the first hall, the "Tianwang Hall".
Not to mention how magnificent and resplendent this hall is. In the front yard of the hall, countless pilgrims hold incense and worship, the air is filled with thick fragrance mist, and people praying for blessings and peace are bowing their heads and chanting My wishes merged into a solemn and low-pitched Sanskrit chant.
After Yue Heng calmed down, he was no longer anxious. He followed the crowd to the front of the hall and burned three sticks of incense.
After inserting the incense stick into the big incense burner, he took out a banknote from his arms and put it into the merit box.
He himself doesn't have the money... But to do things for Brother Fu, all expenses must be paid by Master Fu, of course.
This move was not meaningless. The bank note contained fifty taels, which immediately attracted the attention of the monks on the side.
“Amitabha, very good, very good.”
The monk put his hands together in front of Yue Heng and gave a slight salute: “Dear donor, I hope you will make many good connections and realize Bodhi early.”
>
Yue Heng also bowed to the monk, but his face was a little sad, and he sighed softly: "Thank you, Master, I hope it will be as Master said..."
Seeing him look like this, the monk really showed worry With a look of curiosity: "Donor, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh."
Yue Heng sighed heavily: "Everything is not going well, and I am full of depression..."
After saying that, he smiled bitterly at the monk: "I came to Jinchan Temple because I wanted to come to this sacred temple, the best in the world, to listen to the Buddha's music and Sanskrit singing, and wash away the bad luck on my body."
The monk said "Oh": "Donor, there are no difficult problems in the world. You are trapped in it, but you just don't know how to solve it. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay in the temple for a short time, chant sutras and sincere Buddha every day, and you may encounter Master, the eminent monk in the temple, please ask them to explain it to you."
"Master Monk..."
Yue Heng pursed his lips: "There's no need to bother, I'll just walk around first. Let's go - Master, may I ask if there is any holy place in the temple that can make people feel at ease? I am full of wild thoughts at this time, and even if I meet the eminent monk, I am afraid I will not be able to explain what I am going through."
"That's it."
The monk didn't force it, and smiled slightly and said: "The donor can go to three places."
"The first place is the Prajna Zen Forest, located in the northeast of the Thousand Buddhas Hall. It is a stone forest. The wind blows through the stone forest, and the sound is like the low voice of the Buddha. The donor can sit quietly in it and cleanse his mind."
" The second place is the Huigen Cave, located between the Buddhist caves in the back mountain. There are scriptures carved by the senior monks of our temple in the cave. The donor may be able to have a spiritual connection with the senior monks and gain enlightenment by quietly observing the text." The third place is the Jing Nian Cloud Terrace, which is located behind the Main Hall and at the top of the Cloud Climbing Pagoda. This is the place where the monks of our temple practice. However, since the donor has many troubles, he told the brothers under the pagoda that they will definitely let the donor go up to the pagoda... ...You can see all kinds of things in the world on the Jing Nian Cloud Platform. If the donor really sees it, he will have different feelings."
Yue Heng was slightly awe-inspiring.
He asked casually, and found that there were at least three places in Jinchan Temple that met the conditions... No need to ask more, these places must be blessed by magic.
It seems that today’s trip may not be able to see all the places.
However, Yue Heng is not in a hurry. The task given to him by Fu Qingzhou does not require him to complete the entire temple in one day. He can take his time.
After saying goodbye to the monk, his first stop was the Prajna Zen Forest.
This stone forest is just like what the monk said. The breeze passes through the stone forest, and bursts of low chanting like Buddhist words can be heard. Yue Heng walks in it, and he really feels at peace.
But he can also...can detect the traces of spells left in this stone forest.
"These stone pillars have spell marks on each pillar."
His eyes were slightly sharp: "These spells... although I can't understand them, but the style is the same as the style on Brother Fu's iron box. It’s completely inconsistent.”
It’s hard to explain things like style.
Just like calligraphy and painting, the same artist painted two completely different contents. One is figures and the other is landscape. One uses fine brushwork and the other uses splash ink. Replace it with People who don't understand will never be able to tell that they are made by the same person.
But if you are someone who understands painting, you can see a person's style from many subtle brushstrokes, habits, and artistic conception.
Fu Qingzhou is a rough man and he doesn't understand.
But... Yue Heng understands.
He has been able to make such progress despite learning magic for a short period of time, probably because he found some unique insights that only belong to him.
Just like when he was able to treat talismans as calligraphy in the ruined temple... Spells, to him, seemed to be more complex and cumbersome, but also, like Gorgeous and charming like a giant painting.
Therefore, his way of identifying spells may be different from others.
He may not be able to understand how a perfect giant painting is made, nor is he very clear about the advanced and complex techniques, but he can understand the mood and thoughts of the painter.
Just like now, Yue Heng couldn't understand how the magic in this stone forest worked and how it stayed on those stone pillars, but he could just feel that the magic here was different from that of the big stone pillars. The spell on the iron box is completely different.
"In this case, you can't help Brother Fu?"
He scratched his head in distress: "Forget it, don't worry, just walk around and look around, maybe you can find it What.”
So next, Yue Heng ran to several places without stopping.
He also gradually discovered something.
There are probably three styles of magic traces left in the entire Jinchan Temple.
The first type is the style in the stone forest. If I want to describe it, it is slightly sharp and a bit ostentatious. Although it is not aggressive, it clearly wants you to know how powerful I am.
The second style is more upright, peaceful, large and unobtrusive, like a calm but broad river. When you don’t pay attention to it, it flows quietly there, but when you approach it , but you can feel its vastness and grandeur.
The third style…
Yue Heng saw this style in the scriptures of Huigen Cave.
In the scriptures left by the senior monks, each sentence has a different style, but almost all of them are the first two. Only in one of the scriptures, the third style suddenly appeared.
This style... is dark, indifferent, extremely majestic and huge, but disguised as a peaceful and peaceful look, like a giant dragon lurking in the shadows, with murderous intent hidden in its eyes, but a strange expression on its face. You smiled kindly.
“That’s it!”
In the cave, Yue Heng’s eyes suddenly lit up: “It’s exactly the same as the one on the big iron box!”
There are some pilgrims and tourists in this cave, as well as monks practicing in the temple. Most of them are sitting on the ground and comprehending the scriptures on the stone wall.
Yue Heng slowly stood up, came to the verse, and slowly extended his hand to it.
At this moment, an old and deep voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Donor...please don't touch it. This will not benefit you."
