The tall city walls stand tall, the blue-gray stone bricks are covered with moss, and the vermillion gates that have faded are opened, and a few soldiers are on duty at the gates bored. There is a plaque on the wall of the city gate with the words "Jinzhucheng" written on it. There are still traces of gilding on these three words, but now the gold color has faded, and the original blue-black color has been restored.
Zhang Ying rode on the back of the red tide and walked towards the small town. Pedestrians on the road gave way one after another, but no one yelled 'monster' at last. Seeing this scene, the lazy soldiers immediately cheered up and grabbed the weapons in their hands.
"Who are you? What are you doing here in Jinzhu City?" the leader of the officers and soldiers shouted.
"I came from Hujuguan in the Songling Mountains and wanted to go to the city to rest." Zhang Ying replied.
The officer and soldier looked Zhang Ying up and down, and said: "It seems that you are also a practitioner. Don't act wild when you enter the city. There are also masters from the 'Tianzhu Temple' stationed in our city!"
Zhang Ying said again and again: "I know! I know!" God is sorry, there is finally a place to accept them! Riding a tiger into the small town, there are many houses next to it, and not far away there is a small platform covered with tiles, about a foot in radius. Some people sang on the stage, and a group of young and old gathered around and applauded.
Not far away, someone on the other table started a storyteller, and when he talked about the hype, the listeners in the audience exclaimed. Another two people talked about cross talk on stage, which made the audience below smile.
There are also performers who break big stones in the chest, sing folk ditties, and even a person who splashes ink and paints on the stage!
Zhang Ying watched it interestingly, and stood up under the stage of an opera. The opera singers on the stage suddenly saw someone riding a big tiger approaching, and they didn't lose their temper for a moment, their voices were out of tune! But his strong professionalism still made him bite the bullet and continue to sing on stage.
Zhang Ying also couldn't understand what they were singing, so she pulled a big brother who was watching him fascinated, and said, "This big brother? Is there a wedding in the city? Is it so lively?"
The man was listening well, but suddenly his clothes were pulled and his interest was cut off. He was annoyed and just wanted to curse. Then he saw a huge tiger face approaching him. The red-yellow tiger eyes looked at him expressionlessly, and the heat from the tiger's mouth smoked his face.
He was scared right away! The last stubbornness prevented him from falling directly to the ground.
"Brother? I'm asking you something, brother!" Zhang Ying had to remind him.
He straightened his clothes and said, "This man must have never been to our Jinzhu City! This is not a happy event. This is the characteristic of our Jinzhu City. The new platforms in Tianzhu Temple are for everyone They go up to show their talents for everyone to see, and these are all free of charge, and sometimes Tianzhu Temple even sponsors these activities with money.¡±
He paused, tilted the tiger's head slightly and continued: "Guests come to the city, you might as well appreciate it more, this is our specialty after all."
It's really interesting, this city is still vigorously developing tourism! Zhang Ying shook her head, and drove away from the red tide. After the red tide left, the man fell limply to the ground with a thud
There are also a lot of wine shops, teahouses, and restaurants in this small town, and each venue also has its own program to attract customers, which makes Zhang Ying amazed to see how much traffic it takes to drive this industry.
Leading the tiger forward along the way, although the passers-by changed their expressions and avoided it, that was all. There were even children who were not afraid of death followed the tiger to watch the excitement. From the children's point of view, Zhang Ying was probably one of those performers on stage.
Suddenly Zhang Ying saw an inn next to it, the door was clean and the inside was tidy, so she squeezed in with the red tide. The red tide is really squeezed in, because the door is not too wide.
When the waiter saw the big tiger coming in, he was so frightened that he hurriedly hid in the back kitchen, leaving only one shopkeeper who could not advance or retreat, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "What's the reason for the customer?"
Zhang Ying patted Chi Chao's tiger's head and said, "Don't worry, this tiger doesn't eat people! Do you have any vacant rooms here?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked distressed and said: "Why do you want to be happy with me, the guest officer? If there is really a big tiger living in this inn, all my guests will run away."
He bowed his hands and said: "Guests should go to Tianzhu Temple to stay. It is spacious and allows the tiger to move freely."
Zhang Ying agreed when she heard it. Isn't this embarrassing other stores. So he said, "Where is Tianzhu Temple? Can I go and stay overnight?"
As soon as the shopkeeper heard that there was something interesting, he immediately said: "Of course! The door of Buddhism is open, and people like you will definitely be able to stay overnight. The temple is in the east of the city, and you can see it when you walk along the East Street to the end."
Zhang Ying bowed to the shopkeeper and left with Chi Chao. over filmAt this moment, the little second came out of the back kitchen tremblingly, holding a kitchen knife in his hand. The shopkeeper looked at him expressionlessly, and said, "Your salary is gone for this month!"
Go down the East Street, the more remote you go. At the end of the road, there is a temple with yellow walls. A young monk is sweeping the floor. On the gate of the temple, there is a shiny plaque with three big characters 'Tianzhu Temple' written on it.
'What a big breath! The people in this temple must not know where Tianzhu is! ¡¯ Zhang Ying secretly thought, he doesn¡¯t know if there is such a place as Tianzhu in this world.
Seeing Zhang Ying coming with the tiger, the little monk who swept the floor stopped his work and said to him rudely: "Why do you bring the tiger out like this? You don't need a rope to lead it. What if it hurts someone? "
This tiger is three meters long and its tail is four meters long. Can it be held by a rope? This little monk doesn't seem to have a good brain.
"I'm a passing traveler, and I want to borrow a night. I don't know if it's convenient for the little master." Zhang Ying said with a smile.
The little monk was stunned when he heard Zhang Ying's words, and then he turned around and shouted in an incredible tone: "Master! There is a Taoist here who wants to stay in our temple!"
In less than a minute, a rough voice rushed out: "Who is it? Which wild way is so bold and dares to come to my Tianzhu Temple to have fun!"
The monk who came out had a big shoulder and a thick waist, his whole body was muscular, and he walked vigorously. When he came out, he blew his nose and stared at Zhang Ying.
"It's you, the Taoist priest, who is looking for us to be happy?" the strong monk shouted.
Zhang Ying was at a loss, and stayed overnight normally, so why did she make them happy? Zhang Yinggong cupped his hands and said, "I am a disciple of Huju Temple in Songling Mountain. I passed by Baocha and wanted to spend the night. How did it become a pleasure?"
The Zhuang monk immediately yelled: "You Taoist priest, come to the monk's temple to stay overnight, aren't you just looking for fun?"
Zhang Ying was dumbfounded. Could it be that there is also a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in this world? Before he could open his mouth, he heard a steady voice from inside: "Unclean, don't be rude!" After the voice fell, a serious monk walked out of the door and turned his eyes to Zhang Ying.
He looked Zhang Ying up and down, and said, "Since you want to stay overnight, you can come in. However, this temple does not provide you with meals." Zhang Ying bowed his hands and accepted it. Then he followed the monk into the gate of the temple.
After entering the gate of the temple, there is a large hall facing you. There is a statue in it, and I don't know who it is enshrining. The temple is filled with pines and cypresses like a forest, covering the sky and the sun, but it is terribly quiet, as if no one comes and goes.
Zhang Ying looked around and suddenly asked, "How many people are there in this temple?"
The stable monk who led the way ignored him, and when he took him to a small courtyard, he told him: "Go and rest yourself, and you can leave early tomorrow morning." After speaking, he left on his own regardless of Zhang Ying's reaction.
Zhang Ying shook her head and entered the courtyard. The yard was not big, surrounded by three houses, Zhang Ying chose one at random and lived in it. After entering the room, Yiwu Jiuqi came out of the tube and said a little angrily, "This monk is really rude."
Zhang Yingpan sat down and said, "Is there anything wrong with me staying here?"
Yiwu Jiuqi shook his head, he didn't know either.
Zhang Ying knew a long time ago that Huju Temple is a branch of Taoism, and there is Taoism in this world. But there are none of those famous Taoists, not one Li Er, Lie Yukou, Zhuang Zhou and the like! Not to mention Taoism, a product born out of Taoism, has disappeared without a trace.
In the same way, even if there are Buddhists in this world, there should be no Buddhas such as Sakyamuni.
There are many differences, but is there still a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism?
In the various "travel notes" classics of Hujuguan, there is very little talk about Buddhism, most of them are mentioned briefly, and there is a lot of disdain in the words.
It was getting late, and no one was looking for Zhang Ying to eat. Zhang Ying couldn't help but think, am I greedy for that stutter? If so, why not go out and see what good food is available. Even eating Bigu Dan every day makes me irritable.
Just as he was about to walk out of the small courtyard, a bald head suddenly appeared in front of him, but it was the little monk sweeping the floor.
"My master is looking for you!" The little monk said in a daze, neither salute nor title, really rude! Zhang Ying shook her head, but still followed the little monk. Not long after, he walked into a side hall. Inside, a benevolent old monk sat cross-legged on the futon and waited for him.
The young monk paid respects to the old monk, then turned around and left without saying that he would bring two cups of hot tea.
"I don't know what to call the guest?" the old monk said.
"The younger generation watches Zhang Ying while the tiger crouches in Songling Mountain." Zhang Ying reported to his teacher.
"I know Songling Mountain, it's a long way from here. I've never heard of Huju Temple, is it a small school?" The old monk raised his eyebrows and said.
This old monk really can't speak! Sure enough, there is a master who has a disciple of his own! This master did not call in vain.
"Hehe! Guests, don't be angry. Judging by the appearance of the guests, they also came out of the deep mountains and old forests. They don't know many things. Otherwise, they wouldn't come to my place rashly."
As the old monk said, he suddenly waved his hand, and a pot of tea and two cups appeared in front of his eyes, and then the teapot automatically poured tea into the cups, and the cups automatically flew to Zhang Ying.
"Have a cup of tea, I haven't seen other monks here for a long time, do you want to chat with the old monk?" The old monk said with a smile.
