The incident at the court made Liu Hong a little suspicious. Originally, Yu Yi could walk around the palace at will, but now there will be two eunuchs following him, which can be regarded as surveillance.
I don't know why Liu Hong didn't summon him that day. He felt a little overjoyed. He had nothing to do and planned to go out for a walk. Thinking that he had not visited the famous White Horse Temple after entering Luoyang, he set off. There.
Yu Yi went out from the upper east gate on the east side of the palace, followed by the two eunuchs who were watching.
After walking for a while, Yu Yi arrived at the gate of the White Horse Temple and met a monk sweeping the floor. Yu Yi took a general look at the surrounding hygiene and said it was spotless. It would not be an exaggeration.
"Little Master, this place is so clean, why do you have to clean it like this? Isn't this a waste of time?"
Yu Yi felt a little confused, so he stepped forward to ask, but he didn't know what to call him. The title "Master" came from Yu Yi's reading of "Journey to the West".
"What a master, what do you call the donor?"
The young master was a little surprised when he heard someone calling his name, and the title was a bit special, so he praised him.
"My name is Yu Yi. I have long heard that the White Horse Temple in Luoyang is world-famous, so I came here to see it today."
Yu Yi was wearing a red straight train, with wide sleeves, a gray and white collar, and a black official hat on his head. He looked dignified.
The young monk nodded. He thought he was a dignitary from Luoyang City, so he didn't want to be delayed. He said, "Donor, please come in!"
Before Yuyi, another person also entered the White Horse Temple, but his address was not so polite. Calling him directly "little monk" seemed very abrupt. You must know that master can be said to be the safest way to call a monk. Regardless of whether they are young or old, male or female, or of high or low moral character, as long as they are monks, or even novice monks who have just shaved their hair and dyed their hair, and now have the appearance of a pure monk, they all deserve the respect of lay people who are disciples of the Three Jewels, and can be called "masters". The word "master" is exactly opposite to the word "disciple". It means to be like a teacher and like a father. He taught me the Dharma like a teacher and gave me wisdom and life like a father. It is the most affectionate and virtuous title for monks by lay people. It is very noble. .
After entering the mountain gate, you will see the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower on both sides. Judging from their appearance, they seem to have been rebuilt. Going further forward are Yunshuitang and Mentoudang. The space inside is very large. There is no tour guide. Yuyi They could only walk in a straight line to the dark side, but no matter how they walked, the two eunuchs were always inseparable, which made Yu Yi very troubled.
There are many people who come to worship Buddha in the White Horse Temple. Most of them are young men and young ladies. Some people even sit in sedan chairs. They must be the wives, sons and daughters of some senior officials in the imperial court. This scene is in line with the quiet Buddhist temple in Yu Yi's heart. The image is somewhat out of place.
Walking further outside, there is a gate, but this is a very large Buddhist hall. It is called the Great Buddha Hall. It has two entrances. There are some monks standing guard in front of the door. To the left and right of the Great Buddha Hall are the Jade Buddha Hall and the Jade Buddha Hall. The internal spaces of the ancestral hall, dining hall, and guest hall are quite large.
Thinking that when he entered the mountain gate, there were one gate and three holes. Now the Great Buddha Hall also has two gates. Yu Yi was a little puzzled, so he walked to a door and asked: "Why is this mountain gate set up like this? Is one gate enough? Is it enough?" Make two holes, which one should people go through?"
The monk was not annoyed and replied: "The donor does not know something. The mountain gate of Baima Temple adopts an archway-style stone arc gate with three holes. The mountain gate is the main entrance of the Buddhist temple and generally consists of three doors, which symbolizes the "empty gate" of our religion. , "Three Doors of Liberation", "Wuxianmen" and "Wuzuomen". Because our temple was originally built in a mountain village, it is also known as the "Mountain Gate"."
Yuyi nodded, having learned something again.
The monk then introduced: "There are the tombs of two monks, Shemo Teng and Zhu Falan, on the east and west sides of the mountain gate. The five major halls from south to north are the Tianwang Hall, the Great Buddha Hall, the Daxiong Hall, the Jieyin Hall and the Pilu Hall. Donors can enjoy it as much as they like. tour."
Almost every Buddhist temple has a corresponding monk on duty, so if you want to know some of the allusions and origins, I will patiently tell you.
Thanks to the blessing of inner energy, Yu Yi walked very fast, and soon the two eunuchs who followed him were out of breath.
The Tianwang Hall is a single eaves resting mountain style, with 5 rooms wide from east to west and 4 rooms deep from north to south. The Great Buddha Hall is a single eaves resting mountain style, with 5 rooms wide from east to west and 4 rooms deep from north to south. It houses one Buddha, Manjusri and Samantabhadra. There are statues of Bodhisattva, two disciples of Kasyapa and Ananda, two donors, Guanyin Bodhisattva; the main hall is in the style of a hanging mountain, with 5 rooms wide from east to west and 4 rooms deep from north to south. It houses Sakyamuni, Amitabha and the Medicine Master "Three Worlds of Buddha". There are 23 Yuan Dynasty statues of the two heavenly generals Wei Tuo and Wei Li, the Eighteen Arhats, and the clay statue of Wei Li. The Jieyin Hall is in the style of a hard mountain, with 3 rooms wide and 2 rooms deep. It houses Amitabha, Avalokitesvara, and Mahasthamaprapta. Bodhisattva statue; Pilu Pavilion is in the style of a mountain with double eaves, located on a cool platform, with 5 rooms wide from east to west and four rooms deep from north to south. It houses the Buddha Vairocana and the two Bodhisattvas Manjusri and Samantabhadra.
Finally, Yu Yi came to the Sutra Pavilion, a place that fascinated him very much. His knowledge of the Sutra Pavilion was among the martial arts, and he was often just an ordinary person. He stole the Sutra Pavilion and obtained a Yi Jin Jing, and thus became A martial arts master, and of course seventy-two unique skills.
However, the Sutra Pavilion at Baima Temple was different from what Yu Yi had imagined. There were no powerful sweeping monks or martial arts secret books. Yu Yi flipped through the bookshelves and found some Buddhist sutras, such as the Dragon Tibetan Sutra, There are more than 10 kinds of Tibetan scriptures, including the Chinese Tripitaka, the Japanese Tripitaka, the Tibetan Tripitaka, and the Dunhuang Tripitaka.
With the Jieyin Hall as the axis, the symmetrical position is the Magic Treasure Pavilion, which contains some "magic treasures".
There are other temples and buildings in this ancient temple. It was already getting late and Yu Yi had no extra time to browse them all, so he had to go home.
The solemn Buddhist temple brought a different feeling to Yu Yi. Even with the shameless time he spent with Liu Hong in the past few days, Yu Yi might be even happier if the two eunuchs didn't follow him.
During this trip, Yu Yi found that the two eunuchs had no force at all and the distance was very short. If he wanted to leave, they would have no choice but to do anything. However, under the city of Luoyang, there were the eyes and ears of the court everywhere. If I were not fully prepared, You can't leave easily.
After walking out of the mountain gate, Yu Yi still met the young master sweeping the floor, nodded to him as a greeting, and then walked out of the mountain gate.
After leaving the mountain gate and walking for a while, Yu Yi found an old man dressed strangely setting up a stall there with a flag next to it with the word "Fortune Telling" written in big letters.
The man was wearing a Bagua Taoist robe, which was somewhat similar to Zhang Jiao. He should be a Taoist or something like that. He was incompatible with the monk Yu Yi met at the White Horse Temple earlier. He didn't know why he was telling fortunes near the White Horse Temple.
Yu Yi glanced at the man and then continued walking forward. The two eunuchs monitoring him behind him lagged far behind due to their short distance.
