Chapter 1895
Inside the pagoda, Buddhist pictures are painted on the walls of every floor. Just like the magnificent buildings that overwhelm people everywhere, the pictures on the huge walls of the pagoda are also rich and majestic.
The painting on the first floor is a scene of the palace. In the painting, a monk in white is explaining something in a low voice to a majestic man in a dragon robe under the candlelight.
Since ancient times, Buddhism and the imperial palace have been very close.
The gatekeeper monk pointed to the picture on the pagoda and said: "This is Master Xuanzang. The painting tells the story of Master Xuanzang going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures!"
With that said, the gatekeeper monk took me and Zhu Xunuo and continued to walk towards the top of the pagoda. The paintings carved on the first four floors of the pagoda told the story of Master Xuanzang's Buddhist scriptures. On the fifth floor, the scriptures were
When I got it back, there was an extra monk in the painting.
The extra monk in the painting is very handsome, helping Xuanzang sort out the scriptures he took from the West under the candlelight.
"Amitabha!"
After arriving on the fifth floor, the two gatekeeper monks clasped their hands in front of the handsome monk and recited the Buddha's name with great respect.
"Who is this person?" Seeing how respectful these two monks were to Monk Junxiu, I asked with great confusion.
The gatekeeper monk explained: "This is the great master of our Yuntai Temple, the presiding officer of our Yuntai Temple!"
Hearing what the gatekeeper monk said, Zhu Xunuo and I looked at each other, and we both saw the surprise in the other's eyes.
"Your host was from the Tang Dynasty? Could he live for such a long time?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Amitabha, Master Dade has already become a Buddha. No matter how time passes, Master Dade will always be the abbot of our Yuntai Temple, just like Sakyamuni will always be the Lord Buddha!"
After hearing this, Zhu Xunuo asked: "Does this mean that Master Dade has passed away, but Yuntai Temple has always regarded Master Dade as the abbot?"
There is no problem with Zhu Xunuo's understanding, but I clearly remember that when Li Jingran came to see me at night, she told me that her master, the headless monk, was Master Dade!
Li Jingran even let it slip and told me that Master Dade is a person from the great Feng Shui circle!
I know about the great Feng Shui circle. People who come from the great Feng Shui circle are basically figures who have appeared in history.
Thinking of this, I stared closely at the two gatekeeper monks.
The two gatekeeper monks did not answer Zhu Xunuo's question. They just smiled faintly and answered it.
"Since Master Dade has become a Buddha, who is in charge of Yuntai Temple now?" Zhu Xunuo asked curiously.
"Pu Xin is in charge of the affairs now!" the gatekeeper monk said calmly.
It turns out that Yuntai Temple has an acting abbot!
Just when I was very surprised, the two gatekeeper monks took us to the stair entrance of the seventh floor.
The gatekeeper monk pointed to the entrance of the stairs on the seventh floor and said: "Two distinguished seventh-level pagodas, above is the viewing platform. We are not qualified to go up, so we sent you two here. There are seats on the invitation.
, by the way, there is only one seat, so the accompanying people can only watch the ceremony from the back."
"Thank you two mages, we understand!" Zhu Xunuo replied very politely.
