The entrance to the east gate of the Imperial City of China
A monk in tattered robes looked at the towering city wall and slowly walked into the city gate.
The city is three feet, three and three feet high, and is built with bluestone slabs and bricks. Under the city is a moat about five feet wide. The water in the river is so clear that you can't see the bottom, which shows how deep it is.
These peach petals are scattered in twos and threes on the moat, drifting into the distance with the current.
At this time, a ragged monk was walking on the Peach Blossom Street, which was filled with rain, but the people in the imperial city cast pious glances at him.
Everyone in the Imperial City knew that this monk with tattered clothes and bare feet was the ascetic monk walking around the world. They all came from a holy place, which was Linghuai Temple.
And these monks from Linghuai Temple walking around the world all have a common name, that is - ascetic monks. No one knows the true names of these monks.
The rain of flowers all over the city seemed to be coming for him. Although the ascetic monk walked very slowly, in the eyes of everyone in the imperial city, he was walking ten feet at a time, and he was already staring at him in one second.
Soon, the ascetic monk appeared in front of the palace. Looking at the imperial city that was taller and stronger than the outer city wall, he silently recited: "Amitabha."
The imperial city is surrounded by golden armored guards holding spears. The golden armor exudes a golden cold light, which makes people feel fearful. The city walls are also covered with golden armored guards, looking deeply into the distance, as if they are observing every pedestrian in front of the city wall. , deeply afraid that something terrible would happen.
Standing in front of the gate of the imperial city was a general with a sword on his waist. This general was young, probably only in his twenties, but he had experienced hundreds of battles.
It is said that he went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen, fought among the dead for nearly ten years, and participated in the most brutal battle of the Chinese Dynasty, the Bloody Red Ridge. In that war, of the nearly 100,000 Chinese cavalry, less than one Thousands of people survived, and he was one of them.
In the Battle of Bloody Red Ridge, one hundred thousand Chinese cavalry blocked an incoming army of one million, and all those who survived this battle had experienced hundreds of battles and had the ability to stop a hundred with one.
But even such a vicious and decisive general showed awe towards the ascetic.
The ascetic monk came to the gate of the imperial city and said slowly: "Amitabha."
The leader of the Jinjiawei returned the salute and said, "Amitabha, may I ask what Master is doing?"
The ascetic monk opened his closed eyes and said: "The young monk is ordered by the abbot to give something to the King of China. Please inform the general."
The leader of the Golden Armor Guards quickly sent the guard next to him to report.
At this time, it was during the early dynasty, and the King of China in the Jinluan Palace was listening to the ministers reporting on the situation of the dynasty.
Suddenly, a golden-armored guard broke into the hall, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, there is an ascetic from Linghuai Temple outside, requesting an audience."
The King of China said with a hint of joy: "Please come quickly."
Jinluan Hall
The King of China sat quietly on the dragon chair, and the ministers also stood quietly in the main hall, waiting quietly for the eminent monk who was an ascetic from Linghuai Temple.
The gate of the imperial city slowly opened, and the ascetic closed his eyes and walked forward slowly. He took one step and was already ten feet away. The gate of the imperial city had not been fully opened, but the ascetic had disappeared at the end.
The towering imperial wall and the narrow passage paved with blue-gray stone slabs were used as defense routes to prevent large numbers of troops from breaking into the imperial city. On the city wall of the defense road stood rows of golden armored guards.
The ascetic monk walked out of this long defensive road in a few steps. At the end of the defensive road was a stone door.
The stone door opened slowly, making a creaking and rubbing sound. Behind the stone door was a vast world. The painted red wooden pillars and green tiles and glazed buildings are eye-catching. Then there are five silver-yellow gates. The distance between each gate is ninety-five feet, which means ninety-five feet of dignity.
Five silver-yellow doors were opened one after another. The ascetic monk silently recited: "Amitabha." Then he took a step and arrived at the entrance of the Golden Palace in an instant. Step into the Jinluan Palace.
The King of China stared at the ascetic in front of him and frowned slightly.
There was a slight disdain in the eyes of the ministers. The monks' robes were in tatters and their bare feet were stained with traces of dirt, but there was no trace of dirt left on the hall.
This is probably the first person in history to stand in the Golden Palace of the Chinese Dynasty, and he is also a monk.
The ascetic monk seemed to ignore the gazes of others and bowed slightly, saying: "I, poor monk, see your majesty."
The King of China stood up and said: "Quickly excuse me."
The ascetic monk stood at attention and slowly took out a brocade bag from his chest. The brocade bag was exuding a faint Buddhist light, and then slowly floated to the King of China.
The King of Huaxia looked at the ascetic, and the ascetic said: "Your Majesty, this is what the abbot requested for your majesty. I am grateful to your majesty for rebuilding Linghuai Temple."
Just as the King of China was about to ask, the ascetic had disappeared into the hall, and when he reappeared, he was already at the east gate outside the imperial city.
The ascetic monk looked in the direction of the Jinluan Hall and muttered silently: "Amitabha." Then he turned and headed southwest.
Peach blossoms suddenly appeared in the sky above the Jinluan Palace, and then dark clouds gathered and a light rain began, quickly covering the entire imperial city.
The rain is dancing in the peach blossoms, and the peach blossoms are wailing in the rain.
