    Coming out of the Tianwang Hall, walk a few steps to the north and you will enter a garden rockery. The scenery is elegant, and it is quite wonderful as "winding paths lead to secluded places, and the flowers and trees in the Zen room are deep".

    When Chao Yong and the others were walking through the winding path, they suddenly saw a familiar figure.

    Sai Xue is dressed in white and has long black hair. She is so charming and charming that the surrounding flowers and stones seem to have become a foil.

    "Hundred Flowers"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After the present emperor established the flower-stone garden, all the dignitaries of Tokyo took advantage of it, and the Daxiangguo Temple, as a royal temple, naturally had some advantages, and there were many flowers and stones left over from Genyue in the garden.

    When Fang Baihua was looking at a strange stone that resembled her hometown in a daze, she suddenly heard a familiar voice and turned her head in surprise.

    "Brother Yong."

    When Fang Baihua saw the lover she had longed for day and night, she screamed in surprise and ran over.

    When I got close, I saw four people behind Chao Yong, I couldn't help but blush, but I didn't stop.

    When he arrived, he ignored the looks of Shi Xiu and the others and threw himself into Chao Yong's arms, murmuring: "Originally, Baihua thought she could let go of her brother, but after leaving Liangshan, she realized that she was always in her mind."

    Chao Yong hugged Fang Baihua tightly, smelled the fragrance of Baihua, and said affectionately: "I miss you too."

    Ruan Xiaowu couldn¡¯t help but wink at Xiao Qi when he heard how disgusting the two of them were.

    Only then did Ruan Xiaoqi realize that Fang Baihua had really not escaped from Chao Yong's hands.

    The two hugged each other for a long time before they separated.

    Fang Baihua asked curiously: "My brother hasn't sent anyone to contact you yet, why did you come here?"

    It turns out that the hero¡¯s post did not specify the meeting place, but only mentioned the date and meeting place. After the other three people came to Beijing, the contact person would tell them the meeting place to avoid leaking the news and being arrested by the court.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "We just came to the Daxiangguo Temple to see if we could stay here. Is it possible that your brother is planning to hold a hero conference here?"

    Fang Baihua heard the words and said with a smile: "Heroes have the same idea. It seems that it is really safe here. Okay, I will take you to see my brother later. I will take you to visit Daxiangguo Temple first. I have been here for two  Oh my god, I¡¯ve played it many times. This Daxiangguo Temple is indeed an ancient temple famous at home and abroad. "

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Okay, then please explain it to us."

    Fang Baihua smiled and said, "No problem. Master Deng Yuanjue from my sect once stayed at Daxiangguo Temple, and he took me on a tour the day before yesterday."

    Chao Yong is naturally no stranger to the name Deng Yuanjue. The fierce monk in Water Margin who could compete with Lu Zhishen was finally shot to death by Hua Rong with an arrow.

    This Daxiangguo Temple is also considered a holy place of Buddhism. Is it possible that Deng Yuanjue really wanted to practice Buddhism?

    With a trace of doubt, Chao Yong followed Fang Baihua out of the garden and saw a bell tower next to him.

    Everyone followed Fang Baihua to the bell tower and saw a bronze bell over eight feet high hanging in the middle, hugged by three or four people. There were many inscriptions cast on the bell.

    Ruan Xiaoqi looked at it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's such a big copper bell. If you ring it, the sound will not spread throughout the city."

    Fang Baihua said with a smile: "Xiangguo Frost Bell is one of the eight scenic spots in Bianjing. Every time in the late autumn when the chrysanthemums and yellow frost fall, if you knock the bell fiercely, bursts of powerful and resonant bells will be heard from the bell tower, shaking the whole city. On weekdays  The whole city can hear it, but it is not as loud as in autumn. This copper bell is more than eight feet tall and weighs more than 10,000 pounds. Every morning at the fourth watch, the monks in the temple will ring the bell, and the soldiers guarding the city will hear the bell.  The city gate will be opened.¡±

    Everyone came down from the bell tower and took a look at the Main Hall, Arhat Hall, and Sutra Pavilion.

    Compared with other temples, there is nothing special about the Main Hall and the Sutra Pavilion. They are just more exquisitely carved and painted.

    Only the Luohan Hall is different. It is also called the "Octagonal Glazed Hall" among the people. It has a unique structure and is an octagonal corridor-style building. It is unique and rare in the world.

    The attached eaves are surrounded by verandas, and in the middle is the central pavilion. The Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, the treasure of Daxiangguo Temple, is enshrined in the central pavilion.

    Around the verandah hall are sculptures of Sakyamuni¡¯s sermons, Buddhas, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, kings of heaven and Arhats, with vivid shapes and exquisite carvings.  They are either in the mountains and forests, or between small bridges and flowing water, sitting or lying, raising their heads, or bowing their heads, and their shapes are lifelike.

    In the central pavilion is a two-foot-tall standing wooden statue of Avalokitesvara with Thousand Arms and Thousand Eyes. The four sides of the entire statue are different. Each side has six big hands and three to four layers of small hands distributed in a fan shape. Each palm has  There are one thousand and forty-eight Buddhas in the painting, and it is commonly known as the "Thousand-Eyed and Thousand-Hand Buddha" among the people.

    No matter which side you look at, your face looks dignified.Beautiful, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.

    Fang Baihua said: "It is said that there was a wise king in ancient times who was seriously ill. The enemy took the opportunity to invade. The whole country was uneasy, and doctors could not cure it for a long time. The situation was very critical. We could only post a reward list, and a wandering monk took it, but he needed to get the king's reward.  One hand and one eye of the children were used as medicine guides. Although the king had many children, when he heard that he wanted to use one hand and one eye to serve as medicine guides, he immediately scolded Monk Youfang for talking nonsense and wanted to drive him out of the palace.  Without hesitation, the princess cut off an arm, cut off one eye, and made a medicine. After the king took the medicine, he miraculously recovered.

    This story was widely circulated. Buddha knew it and was deeply moved, saying that this is the filial piety we admire!  I want to reattach his hands and eyes, and reshape his whole body so that people can show filial piety to their elders.  The words of the Buddha were passed down, but because the pronunciation of "Quan" and "Qian" were close, "Quanshou" was actually passed down as "Thousands of Hands", and then the princess became like this, but the people did not think she was a monster, but rather very special.  He supported this princess and even built a golden body for her.  There is also the Thousand Eyes and Thousand Hands Buddha.  "

    After listening to Fang Baihua telling this allusion, Chao Yong couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "This story must have happened in the Kingdom of Tianzhu."

    Fang Baihua asked curiously: "Why does brother say that?"

    Chao Yong laughed and said: "Because I don't believe this story at all. If it happened in our country, there must be historical records, but I have never heard of it. I think it's just that Buddhism knows that filial piety is the first thing in the Central Plains, so it was fabricated in order to spread it in the Central Plains.  To cater to the court.¡±

    Fang Baihua herself is from Manichaeism, and it¡¯s not easy to comment on religious stories.

    Fang Baihua led everyone around all morning, watching the sun rise to the middle, and said: "The Daxiangguo Temple occupies a very large area. If you want to browse them one by one, I'm afraid it will take several days. However, the main buildings in this temple are only small."  That¡¯s it. The rest are mostly the courtyards where monks and pilgrims live. Why don¡¯t you follow me to the back to meet my brother and the others.¡±

    Chao Yong also wanted to take a look at Fang La's people, so he also smiled and said: "Okay, if you don't go back, your brother will think that you have been kidnapped."

    When Fang Baihua heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chao Yong.

    Chao Yong didn¡¯t know how many courtyards he had passed, and when he was already a little disoriented, Fang Baihua said, ¡°My brother and the others are in the courtyard in front.¡±

    There was a capable man standing at the entrance of the courtyard. When he saw Fang Baihua coming back, he came up to greet him.

    Fang Baihua looked at the monks going by and whispered: "Go and inform the Holy Duke, and he will say that the Little Overlord of Liangshan is here."

    When the man heard that they were from Liangshan, he looked at everyone strangely and then turned back.

    When Chao Yong and others entered the courtyard, they saw five or six people walking out of the house. The first one was more than eight feet tall, with a majestic appearance, and walked like a dragon or a tiger.  The people behind him, except Lou Minzhong and Shi Bao, were a fat monk and a handsome young man.

    Still a few steps away, Fang La clasped his fists and said, "I didn't know that the little overlord was coming. I missed you from a distance, so I hope you'll forgive me."

    Chao Yong quickly clasped his fists and returned the salute: "How dare you, Master Fang, please don't break this boy."

    Fang Baihua also knew that Chao Yong and she were married, so she might be a little embarrassed to meet Fang La, so she said: "Brother Yong is my savior, brother, please stop being polite."

    When Fang La saw his sister and Chao Yong acting like this, he also smiled and said, "Okay, all the heroes of Liangshan, please come in."

    When everyone enters a house, they all know each other by name.

    The fat monk over there was Deng Yuanjue, and the handsome young man was Fang La¡¯s nephew Fang Jie.

    After everyone passed their names, Fang La clasped his fists and said, "My little sister was in danger in Jiangzhou. I would like to thank the little overlord for sacrificing his life to save her."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "It's a small effort, but it's not worth mentioning. What's more, Cai Jiu is a corrupt official and harms the people. There is no one in my generation who can't get rid of him quickly."

    Fang La nodded and said: "I have long heard that the heroes of Liangshan do justice for heaven, and today I saw that they are truly worthy of their reputation. I wonder what the heroes of Liangshan think of this alliance?"

    Chao Yong also saw Fang La's temptation, clasped his fists and said: "The court of Zhao and Song Dynasties is dark, and the people are in dire straits. I, the hero of Liangshan, have long wanted to rise up, but I am afraid that I will be unable to stand on my own. Now that a hero like Master Fang is shouting from a high place, the heroes of the world will definitely respond. I  Liangshan will naturally not fall behind."

    Fang La gave Chao Yong a meaningful look and said with a smile: "Then what do you think our chances of winning are?"

    Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "Nowadays, the emperor is fatuous, obsessed with pleasure, and all political affairs are handed over to a group of treacherous ministers in the court. They have harmed the loyal and good, which has long been the anger of heaven and the people. If we follow the people's will and raise our voice, we will surely have thousands of followers. Isn't this right?  The corrupt Zhao and Song Dynasties could resist it."

    Fang La nodded and said with a smile: "Heroes have the same view. The Zhao and Song Dynasties are already on the verge of collapse, and the monarchs and ministers only know how to enjoy themselves. If you and I work together, we can overthrow the Zhao and Song Dynasties in a few years."

      Chao Yong asked curiously: "Didn't Leader Fang make an appointment with four people?"

    Fang La said disdainfully: "I set the meeting place in Tokyo just to test the courage of the four of us. What we are going to do is an earth-shattering event. If we are not very courageous, how can we take on this important task? I don't want Tian  When Hu and Wang Qing heard about it, they didn't dare to come to Tokyo. They just sent a few leaders. It seemed that they were just robbers and couldn't accomplish anything big. If they came, they would ruin the My Hero Conference.  title."

    Deng Yuanjue nodded and said: "What the leader said is that this hero conference is going to be held in Tokyo. If we hide in places where birds don't poop, it won't be a rat conference." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, novels  Better updates faster!)
