Behind the stele, there is a squatting stone statue. The stone statue is about eight or nine feet high and three or four feet wide. It has its hands clasped together and seems to be reciting the Heart Sutra silently. It is awe-inspiring, but the moment you see the stone statue, your restless heart will also He calmed down naturally.
There is a big umbrella placed directly above the head of the stone statue. This big umbrella is the locust tree.
Half of the locust tree is inside the temple, and half is blocking the squatting stone statue.
The people of the four dynasties were amazed when they saw the scene in front of them. Even the kings of the four dynasties were full of admiration for the sight before them.
Behind the stone statue is a temple. There are two stone lions in front of the temple, and then there are nine steps. After climbing the steps, there is a painted red door. The plaque directly above the door is engraved with three large characters: Linghuai Temple.
At this time, several monks wearing gray and white coarse cloth robes came out from the entrance of Linghuai Temple.
The monks clasped their hands together and then stepped aside. At this time, an old monk wearing cassocks and a goat's beard came out.
The old monk was dressed in Buddhism and Confucianism, which gave people an inexplicable sense of contradiction and intimacy. The old monk clasped his hands together and said with a slightly bent body: "Amitabha."
The old monk is the current presiding spirit of Linghuai Temple, and tomorrow is his succession ceremony.
The four kings and the civil and military officials behind them all responded piously: "Amitabha."
Dao Ling said to the four monarchs without being humble or arrogant: "Several donors, please come inside, the wing is ready." There was no fear or awe, just like ordinary people, without a trace of ripples.
Except for King Shuoxue, who had a look of disdain on his face, the other three monarchs all had a trace of disbelief. What they couldn't believe was that the Taoist monk acted so calmly after seeing them; no matter what Who is it, whenever he sees one of them, he will tremble slightly, but he has become such an exception.
After the four monarchs entered the temple gate, the monks standing on both sides suddenly stopped the generals and guards who were following the four monarchs. One of the monks stood up and said: "Amitabha, dear donors, it is forbidden to bring swords into the pure land of Buddhism. "
Several generals looked at their kings respectively, and the four kings looked at the Taoist spirit. The Taoist spirit clasped his hands and said silently: "Amitabha, the pure land of Buddhism, please don't disturb me."
The King of China waved his hand to the general behind him, signaling for him to hand over his sword, and then said to the guards: "You just wait outside!"
King Tianfeng and King Muling also signaled the two generals to cross swords, and then asked the guards to wait in the plane, and brought a few necessary maids and eunuchs with them.
Seeing this, King Shuoxue helplessly asked the general behind him to hand over his sword and complained: "There are so many things going on!"
The other three kings stopped and looked at King Shuo Xue. Only Dao Ling, who was leading the way, continued to move forward without stopping at all.
The King of China smiled and gave King Shuoxue a thumbs up, and the other two kings also shook their heads helplessly.
King Tianfeng is secretly happy! Linghuai Temple is a famous temple in the world. No one in the world is disrespectful or ungrateful, but you, King Shuoxue, are the only one who shows disdain. This is tantamount to disrespecting the awe in the hearts of people in the world.
That night, Linghuai Temple was extremely lively, but it was extremely quiet. There were a lot of people, but it was very quiet. There were too many stars in the sky to count, and from time to time, a silver light flashed across the Linghuai tree. , rowing towards the top of the mountain, as if you are in the Milky Way.
Everyone's eyes were shining, shock, confusion, longing, and disbelief were all expressed vividly. Even King Shuoxue was shocked by the scene in front of him.
The next day, in the early morning, the four monarchs and all the civil and military officials came to the observation deck early and waited for the sun to rise over Shaoshan Mountain.
Soon, the dawn appeared, and golden rays of light slowly bloomed from the sea of clouds. The golden clouds were like a golden ocean, all of which were amazing and dazzling.
The red sun in the east reveals half of its face in the mist-shrouded sea of clouds. It is shy but pleasant, charming and dazzling, eye-catching and brilliant, which makes people look at it and sigh.
After the dawn, it was the succession ceremony. At the critical moment of Dao Ling's succession ceremony, suddenly the sky was clear and there was lightning and thunder, followed by dark clouds, and the day suddenly turned into night.
Then, strong winds raged, and the roof of the main temple was blown off. Everyone was shocked. Only the monks in the temple were as calm as water, not affected by the outside world at all.
At this time, two rays of light, one black and one white, suddenly appeared directly above the temple, surrounding each other, showing a Tai Chi image, and then turned into two streams of light and shot into the distance.
