Chapter 633

When they arrived in Xiangliu Town, the old lady declined the monk, leaning on crutches and relying on the hearing that she had acquired over the years, she groped to the front of the prayer steps.

"Grandma, are you going to walk up there yourself?" Bo Lianye looked worried.

"How can your body take it."

Mrs. Bo smiled faintly and said, "A long time ago, I prayed before the Buddha to find my Ajaan as soon as possible. Although Ajaan is gone, her daughter came back in her place. Today, I am here to repay my promise. Even though the road has a thousand bumps, my heart is the same, and I have nothing to fear.”

Huan Luo took the first step, Xi Ran followed closely, her eyes fixed on Old Madam Bo's next move, in case the old Madam could be rescued immediately in case of an accident.

Although the old lady was faltering, her feet were firm, and she never hesitated in every step she took.

Bo Lianye looked at the stairs that could not be seen to the end, and a touch of irritability developed in her heart, and the monk who knew the guest said next to him: "If Miss Bo doesn't want to take the stairs, you can follow the disciples to the temple by car.

On the other side of Xiangguo Temple, there is a winding mountain road that leads directly to the back door of Xiangguo Temple. Usually, logistics purchases take this road.

Bo Lianye restrained the irritability in her heart, with a gentle smile on her face: "Thank you Master for your kindness, grandma is right, these steps are like layers of suffering in life, how can you give up easily."

The acquaintance monk said with emotion: "Miss Bo is very wise, and there will be great fortunes in the future."

The thin lotus leaf is like a flow of goodness: "Inherit the auspicious words of the master."

Bo Lianye carried the horns of her skirt and stepped onto the stairs resignedly. There are quite a lot of people today, and few young people have seen them. They are basically elderly aunts and uncles. Bo Lianye walked among this group of people. Appears extraordinarily conspicuous.

She was naturally frail, and it didn't take long for her to be out of breath. When she looked up, Mrs. Bo had already dumped her a lot.

Mrs. Bo stopped to wipe her sweat, waited for Bo Lianye to catch up, and said lightly, "You are not physically fit, so you need to exercise more often."

Thin lotus leaf's cheeks flushed red, and I don't know if it was from the sun or from shame.

"I see, grandma."

"Let's go." Mrs. Bo started again.

This is the second time that Bo Lianye has stepped into the gate of Xiangguo Temple. The first time she came was at night. She did not expect that Xiangguo Temple was more majestic than she imagined, and the royal palaces she had been to were nothing more than that.

She thought of the legend about Xiangguo Temple. According to legend, the founding emperor of the Moon Dynasty once became a monk and became a monk. Under the guidance of an eminent monk, he walked against the sky with a faint body, created a peaceful and prosperous age, and created a legend.

The Emperor Taizu personally inscribed plaques for Xiangguo Temple, and even built Xiangguo Temple into his own garden. Whenever disasters occur, he will personally go to Xiangguo Temple to fast and pray for blessings. There are many records in the Monthly Dynasty Anecdote. The story of the legendary Taizu Emperor, the most famous of which is the story of the seven sons shaved off, fully proves how much the Emperor Taizu believed in Buddhism.

In addition to the seven sons shaved, the most famous is the legend of the Garuda-winged bird god. According to legend, when Taizu was born, a vision descended from the sky, and a big bird with golden light hovered in the sky. After a while, Taizu was born. He was accepted as a disciple by an eminent monk because of the fate of Buddha. Later, the world was in chaos, the people were unhappy, and there was war everywhere. At that time, the great ancestor, who was still a little novice, could not see the suffering of the world, and realized that simply reciting the scriptures and meditating could not save the people from the sea of ​​suffering, so he resolutely took off his monk robe and left. When he entered the world, he quickly accumulated prestige among the people due to his good deeds, and a large number of righteous people defected to him, and soon formed the largest group of uprising troops at that time.

Later, on the battlefield, he turned danger into safety several times, and some people said that he saw a big golden bird. It was like a patron saint. According to the saying, Garuda is the mount of the Buddha, and only the bones of the Buddha can obtain the protection of Garuda.

In the early days of the Moon Dynasty, because of the rumors of Garuda and Buddha bones, Taizu helped Taizu quickly win the hearts of the people and establish a supreme prestige. His people, as well as his followers, deeply believed that their king would be like Like the Buddha, lead them out of the sea of ​​misery.

Mrs. Bo was born in the descendants of the Yue Dynasty royal family. She has a lot of secrets about the Yue Dynasty at home. There are out-of-print collections that cannot be found in all libraries in the country. Bo Lianye has been familiar with this history since she was a child. This history of Taizu can't help but sneer.

What kind of Buddha bone and what kind of garuda? This is just a vision made up by the rulers to demonstrate the legitimacy of their dominance. For example, Liu Bang beheaded the white snake and the white fish leaped into the king's boat. These are all techniques. Whoever believes in Fool.

Of course, in that ignorant and backward era, the common people had no doubts about this strange vision, otherwise there wouldn't be a saying that the feudal era was a backward era.

Bo Lianye did not expect that there would be so many people in Xiangguo Temple, and it could almost be said that they were shoulder to shoulder. She supported Old Madam Bo and walked slowly through the crowd.

At this time, everyone in the crowd was talking about something, as if the name of Master Ming Deng was mentioned.

Bo Lianye is very sensitive to this name. The last time she accompanied her grandmother to see Master Ku Rong at Xiangguo Temple, she saw this Master Ming Deng. He is handsome and noble, and he doesn't look like a Buddhist at all. It's a pity, okay Talented people, or becoming a monk, must have no future in this life.

There is a pool in the middle of Xiangguo Temple, and in the pool are a few new leaves that have just sprouted, like a few dragonflies standing on the water.

The moment the thin lotus leaf brushed past the pool, the sun was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and the world seemed to dim in an instant.

"My God..." Bo Lianye heard the exclamations of exclamations from all around her. She felt inexplicable. Seeing Xi Ran looking in the direction behind her, this girl who usually had no emotions showed a rare look of surprise in her eyes.

Bo Lianye turned her head subconsciously, and in the next instant, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

In the small pool on the other side, countless lotus flowers bloomed in an instant, and the picture was extremely wonderful.

Some people couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to take pictures, and exclaimed repeatedly: "Oh my God, it's only April, and there is a lotus flower in the pool. This picture is really beautiful."

When Mrs. Bo heard the exclamations around her, she subconsciously frowned, "How could it be..."

She knew that the lotus pond in front of the Xiangguo Temple had never bloomed, because the ancient lotus buried in it was long extinct.

It is rumored that the monks predicted that the blooming of the ancient lotus is a rare vision. Only a catastrophe or auspiciousness can make the ancient lotus bloom.

Mrs. Bo suddenly thought of something, and suddenly grabbed the arm of Bo Lianye, "Ye Zi, are you..."

Outsiders don't know the secret, as one of the few remaining descendants of the Moon Dynasty, she too understands what it means when the ancient lotus blooms.
