Chapter 115: Xuedou Temple

The car left the door and drove west. On the road, Xiao Jin finally realized that this was indeed a local custom. On the night of New Year's Eve, there were actually many people walking in the same direction in groups. Of course, there were also people like I drove there like this, and the streets were very lively.

Looking at the car driving out, Xiao Jin sighed, Tengtou Village is indeed rich!

Xuedou Temple, located in Xuedou Mountain in Xikou Town, Fenghua, was first built in the Jin Dynasty. It has been continuously awarded by edicts throughout the dynasties. It is one of the "Five Mountains and Ten Temples", one of the Ten Temples and Five Temples of Zen in the World, and one of the "Five Famous Buddhist Mountains" "One and so on, this is the Maitreya Buddha Dojo, which houses the Maitreya Buddha in Xuedou Mountain.

The journey was not far, but when he arrived near the Xuedou Mountain Scenic Area, Xiao Jin was surprised. It was New Year's Eve today, why were there so many people? !

Through judgment, Xiao Jin knew that going to the temple to keep vigil on New Year's Eve was not only a unique custom of Tengtou Village, but also the whole of Fenghua, and the vast majority of those who could come here were locals.

The car could no longer move forward. According to Fang Siyu, it was not far from the entrance.

Xiao Jin parked the car, dressed thickly, and carried a schoolbag on his back, which contained food, water and other practical supplies. Fang Siyu happily pulled Xiao Jin's arm, and the two of them moved forward with the flow of people.

After further observation, Xiao Jin found that most of the people who came here were women, and they were polarized. They were either older women or young girls. There were few men. He was just a guest.

Many people had prepared incense and candles with them, ready to light them in the temple. Fang Siyu also held a long bouquet of incense in her right hand.

Because it was night, visibility was not far, and people followed the lights.

The lamp is a symbol of wisdom and light, and the atmosphere of the Buddhist fairyland is getting stronger and stronger. The two of them have seen the water mist rolling nearby, and the sounds of nature in their ears have started to sound. The changing light, the posture of Zen, and their feelings. heart of……

The sounds made by people gradually dissipated, and everyone became pious. They used their hearts to understand the wisdom of Zen and Buddhism, and gained freedom in the colors, sounds, fragrances, and touches.

On weekdays, Xuedou Temple charges admission, but today it is free. There are many people outside the temple, but after entering, a huge scene and colorful beams of light appear in front of you, making the surrounding area feel empty.

People's piety now turned into admiration.

At this time, I don’t know who shouted out, “I remember how happy I was as a young person, traveling in the snow under the lights late at night.”

"Wow, that's good!" Xiao Jin was very impressed after hearing this.

But Fang Siyu next to him smiled foolishly.

"What's the matter, what are you laughing at?"

"Haha, this guy is quite interesting. The original sentence was 'I remember how happy I was when I was young, going up to the Fan Tower under the lights late at night', but he changed it in a decent way."

"Oh, where does this original sentence come from?"

"Of course it's the Song Dynasty. Fan Tower is equivalent to our Oriental Pearl Tower today."

"That's amazing. If I were to say, 'Wow, that's beautiful!'"

"Haha!" Fang Siyu did not continue this topic. He knew that Xiao Jin's education was only at the high school level, and there was no need to continue to quibble with Xiao Jin.

And this is what she hides from her family.

He is a college student, and Xiao Jin is only a high school student. They don't match up in terms of academic qualifications, and his family may even make him return to his hometown.

How can a small high school student in Shanghai have any future?

Xiao Jin didn't know what Fang Siyu was thinking, so he just stayed with her and enjoyed the night light show on Xuedou Mountain.

Many of the tourists, or villagers, who come here are already very familiar with this place, especially the elderly women. They walk together, as if they are going to complete some task, and the young women are also three. There are groups of five, but most of them mainly play.

As for a small number of men, they kept making loud noises, either exclaiming like Xiao Jin, or showing off in front of their female companions.

The two were in a good mood and moved slowly with the crowd.

"How many times have you been here?"

"many times!"

"Then what are we going to do later? Are we really going to spend the night here tonight and wait until dawn?!"

"Of course, otherwise what's the point of staying up late?"

"So were you here last year?"

"No, last year my sister-in-law and I went to a small temple near my home. We went there around eleven o'clock and went home after twelve o'clock."

"Oh..."

Xiao Jin understood that it was because of his arrival this year that Fang Siyu went further, and he also wanted to have more opportunities to be alone with him.

Today’s event is not only organized by Xuedou Temple, but also has something to do with the local cultural and tourism department. Xuedou Temple has prepared activities for tourists such as offering lanterns and praying, meditating and copying scriptures, Xuedou night talks, and tasting Zen tea and eating glutinous rice balls. .

After Fang Siyu and Xiao Jin lit the incense candles they brought, they pulled him to a place.

This is a tea room. After getting permission, the two people walked in. The temperature inside the tea room was very high, maybe because of the constant brewing of tea. The owner motioned the two of them to take off their coats and have a good cup of tea. This was a sign of respect for each other. Respect can also make people calm down.

When Fang Siyu took off his coat, Xiao Jin's eyes lit up. This little girl had put on a set of Hanfu at some point. She looked so handsome and cute among the crowd. Xiao Jin smiled, laughing from the bottom of his heart. .

Two cups of hot tea were brought to the front. Fang Siyu held them up with both hands and blew the cherries gently. Xiao Jin was fascinated by the sight. This little girl was so beautiful today. He couldn't help but move closer to her. Some.

After about seven or eight minutes, the two stood up. After all, there were many people queuing up behind them to come in. No wonder the room was so hot. How could it not be hot after brewing so much tea.

Next, the two of them came to a spacious Zen room, where many people were sitting on the floor. A monk in front was chanting words, and everyone was "enlightenment" with their eyes closed.

The two of them found an empty seat and sat down under the guidance of another monk. This time, it took a little longer. Xiao Jin tried his best to be clear in his mind and listened to the Buddhist scriptures carefully. Although he could not understand, he still had to try his best to understand. Enlightenment.

After experiencing these two things, the two of them followed the flow of people and continued forward. In front of them was the tall golden body of Maitreya Buddha.

In the Mahayana Buddhism classics, Maitreya Buddha is the successor of Sakyamuni Buddha, also called the Future Buddha. He is deeply respected by Mahayana Buddhism in China. He bares his chest and belly and smiles, which means "great blessings" and reminds the world to learn from Tolerance, tolerate things that are intolerable in the world, and laugh at the ridiculous people in the world.

Fang Siyu's piety in paying homage must be that he was making a wish in his heart. As for what it was, Xiao Jin couldn't ask, but it was probably all troubles in the world.

Time passed and the night gradually got darker, but the flow of people did not decrease. Suddenly the bell rang, signaling the arrival of the New Year. This was considered "keeping up the New Year's Eve".

Soon after, people began to flow towards the temple gate, and it was time to leave.

"Xiaoyu, do we really want to stay here? Where are we going? Or should we go back too?!"

"Come with me!"

Fang Siyu smiled and took Xiao Jin's arm and walked towards a hidden place.
