In March, the spring breeze brings warmth, birds sing and flowers are fragrant, and the flowers in Pingshan Town are full of flowers, which is so beautiful.

At the time of Chen, a long convoy appeared in front of the Huangfu gate of Jiangfu. Uncle Wang shouted and directed, "Uncle, the second master's horse is leading to the front, be careful, the old man's horse is strong," "Uncle's car is arranged behind the lady's car, don't squeeze it", "Why can't you even get a car? Huang San, go and help Zhao Heizai." A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Anyi and Jiang Anyong took the lead, and the convoy headed towards Anlong Temple.

It is thirty miles from Pingshan Town to Anlong Temple. Jiang Anyi rode on charcoal and found that the road had become much flat and wider. It was not the winding path two years ago. When he was five miles away from Matou Mountain, the road had become like an official road. There were many pedestrians on the road and cars and horses were constantly coming and going.

Jiang Anyi asked in surprise: "An Yong, what is the good day today? Why is Anlong Temple so lively?"

"Brother, you don't know that Anlong Temple is now famous. Pilgrims from all over the world come to burn incense. They are so lively. If the Buddha's birthday or Master Hong Xin preaches, the road will be blocked so much that the car cannot get through."

The convoy slowly walked three miles and came to the foot of Matou Mountain. It turned out that there was a wild forest, which had been cut down to level into a square, and a magnificent mountain gate stood in front of you. The plaque with blue gold characters was written by the emperor's pen and written by the imperial pen, with a vermilion gate and a yellow wall, magnificent.

Jiang Anyi was a Buddhist guardian, and the Dharma protector's card saved his life several times, so he asked Master Guangming for Buddhist knowledge. He knew that the mountain gate was opened with three doors, with three doors in the middle and small sides, which were called "Cunning Gate (middle), Wuxiang Gate (east), Wuzhu Gate (west), and Wuzhu Gate (west). This is the reason for the so-called escape into the Cunning Gate.

After getting off the horse, Jiang Huang and others also got off the carriage. The convoy was very powerful and had already alarmed the guest monk Hong Ping to come to greet him. The Jiang family and Anlong Temple have a deep relationship. The Jiang family and the Huang family are both big pilgrims from Anlong Temple. Hong Ping smiled and greeted him and said, "Amita Buddha, old lady, several donors, have always been nice, I am polite."

The third uncle Huang Kailin often came to Anlong Temple to enjoy incense. He was familiar with Monk Hongping. He smiled and joked, "Monkey, you are still called me a monk in Anlong Temple. Look at you, you are covered in oil and you are obviously a rich monk. This year's new tea can be picked, so don't hide it. I'll give it to me ten kilograms. I'll give it to others."

Hong Ping has a round face and big ears, a straight facial features, a smile on his face, wearing a yellow monk's robe, and a scarlet robe. He looks like a monk who is so powerful that he makes people feel close to him. No wonder he was made to be a guest monk. Hong Ping saw Jiang Anyi at a glance and said with a smile: "Is this Jiang Tanyue that Senior Brother Hong Xin often mentioned. As expected, he is clear and beautiful, and he has a connection with my Buddhism."

Jiang Anyi smiled and said politely: "Master praised me."

Someone was in charge of the Chema Temple. Monk Hongping personally led the way through the mountain gate and passed the Release Pool to the Heavenly King Hall. This was the first time Jiang Anyi came to visit after the restoration of Anlong Temple. He looked around at the scenery, and saw that the crowd was like a sea of ​​people, which was very lively, with cigarettes surrounds, and some believers knelt down and prayed. Jiang Anyi felt lost, and remembered the Laojun Temple visit on Kunhua Mountain. There were more believers in Anlong Temple, and the incense was also abundant, but they lost the secluded Buddhist practice.

The simple and simple temple was replaced by neat mountain gates, Heavenly King Hall, Bell and Drum Tower, Main Hall, Partial Hall, Four Halls and other buildings. There were hundreds of monks inside. Jiang Anyi suddenly felt like he had arrived at Mingpu Temple in the capital. He burned incense and worshiped Buddha and prayed devoutly. Jiang Anyi knelt in front of the Buddha. As a Buddhist guardian, Jiang Anyi felt more close to Buddhism than ordinary people.

After giving money for incense, Jiang Huang took Lingwei and Dong'er to burn incense and pray for children. Under the guidance of Monk Hongping, Jiang Anyi turned over the Dharma Hall and went to the meditation hall in the back mountain to find Master Hongxin. The back mountain of the temple is where four old tea trees grow. Jiang Anyi saw that there were several rows of monks at the foot of the mountain, and the entire back mountain was also reclaimed, and tea trees were planted layer by layer.

Seeing Jiang Anyi paying attention to the tea trees, Monk Hongping smiled gently and said, "Jiang Tanyue, Anlong tea is famous all over the world because of your high school. There are endless people coming to ask for tea. The four old tea trees on the top of the mountain can only be used for the needs of Mingpu Temple and the Jiang family in the capital. In desperation, the temple had to level the back mountain and plant tea trees to solve the urgent problem."

Monk Hongping felt regret flashed in his heart. King Anyang once purchased tea from four old trees at the price of ten taels of gold and one tael of tea, but was politely rejected by Abbot Hong Xin. Now, the tea trees in the back mountain can produce hundreds of gold every year, and are specifically used to thank the pilgrims who burn incense. Therefore, when Huang Kailin enters the door, he will joke to ask for ten kilograms of tea. Anlong tea is priceless and is only used to gift to dignitaries and great pilgrims. Although the Huang family is a big pilgrim, he only receives one or two kilograms of gifts every year.

The temple was rebuilt. Master Hong Xin moved the Abbot's Temple to the top of the back mountain. Several stone houses were built under the tea trees. It was the residence of Abbot Hong Xin's practice. A cypress plaque was hung in front of the abbot's room, which was the plaque of "Anlong Temple" when he first met. Master Hong Xin received the notification from the little novice monk and was waiting in front of the stone house. Hong Ping bowed to his senior brother and walked down the mountain sideways.

Jiang Anyi stepped forward, and the two of them politely politely politely. When they picked up their heads, they saw that Master Hongxin's face was still thin, and the yellow cloth monk's clothes were clean and clean, with patches. Jiang Anyi even suspected that this monk's clothes were worn by Master Hongxin for the first time.

The sun shone through the gaps of the tea tree, falling on the stone table under the tree, mottled and staggered. Master Hong Xin did not invite Jiang Anyi into the room, but led Jiang Anyi to the stone table to sit. The stone bench was a little cool, and it was like two worlds with the noise of the temple in front of him. The little novice monk boiled water and cooked tea on the side, and seemed to be doing it frequently and skillfully. Jiang Anyi actually saw the flowing flowing water. On the tea building, both of them were silently tasting tea, and no one wanted to speak to break the tranquility in front of him.

After a cup of tea, Jiang Anyi stood up and came to the tea tree struck by lightning, rubbed the dark trunk, and sighed: "The master met me and said that I was a statue of a dead tree in spring. He gave me a wooden sign of the Dharma protector, and told me to always be kind and do good. Anyi asked himself to follow it and not dare to disobey it, why is it still difficult to express his ambition in the officialdom? "

Master Hong Xin was silent for a moment and asked, "Jiang Tanyue, what have you seen since you entered the mountain gate today? What do you think?"

"The incense is soaring and there are many pilgrims, which reminds Jiang of the situation when he went to Laojun, Kunhua Mountain to burn incense when he was taking the imperial examination. It was as lively as ever. Anlong Temple is worthy of being the number one temple in Jiangnan. I have not yet congratulated the master on being named the Zen Master of Huguo." Jiang Anyi said sarcastically.

Master Hong Xin smiled and said, "Five years ago, Anlong Temple was hidden in the deep mountains and no one knew. I don't know what Jiang Tanyue had seen and what he thought?"

Jiang Anyi was stunned. He was not good at smarting. Master Hong Xin's words reminded him of the simple Anlong Temple back then. From his heart, Anlong Temple at that time was more like a Buddhist pure land.

Master Hong Xin picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and asked with a smile: "Jiang Tanyue, is the taste of tea five years ago different from the taste of tea today? Why was it not so easy to be a thousand gold today?"

Putting down the teacup, Master Hongxin gently turned the Buddhist beads in his hand and said, "I went south to spread the Dharma. The original intention was like this. The taste had not changed, but the person who drank the tea had changed. The temple was incense that was so popular that it was worshipped by believers from all directions, which was beneficial to spreading the Dharma. This was the benefit of prosperity. Those who became monks did not care about trivial matters in the world, and their hearts were pure, impermanent, no joy, no self, and no purity. The prosperous land of the Buddha was like a stone house behind my monk."

Jiang Anyi understood a little and said, "The master's intention is that the wool will be withered, and the wool will be honored. Everything should be natural. I will not be surprised by the favor and humiliation."

Master Hong Xin nodded and pointed to the tea tree beside Jiang Anyi and said, "If you are in the officialdom, you will have your own ups and downs. What's the problem with the ups and downs of the original mind? There is such a tree that combines with withering and rising and downs, and you will have one mind. This is called 'Neither withering and rising, neither fake nor empty'."

Jiang Anyi was sweating all over. Although he had consulted Master Guangming for advice on Buddhism, Master Hong Xin's words were too profound and could not understand. What does it mean to "non-dry, not fame or emptiness"?

Master Hong Xin looked at Jiang Anyi with reproach and said, "I heard from Master Guangming that he gave you the "Heart Sutra of Prajna". Jiang Tanyue, you have deep wisdom. Why don't you recite such a good sutra often? You will see that the five aggregates are empty and overcome all sufferings."

Jiang Anyi thought that he often studied the "Prajna Heart Sutra" and often combined it with the "Diamond Sutra" to explore his "Yuanxuan Heart Method", but he rarely read it as a Buddhist scripture.

Without arguing, he calmed down under the tea tree. Master Hong Xin stood up and said, "Jiang Tanyue, it is better to ask the monks than to ask them. I still need to practice. I will not accompany you and be perfect, and I will see you off for you." After that, Master Hong Xin bowed and turned around and entered the abbot's room. The little novice monk who boiled water came over, raised his bright head, and said respectfully: "Donor, please."

I wanted to find Master Hongxin to show you another divination, but I didn't expect that after drinking a cup of tea, I was driven down the mountain. Jiang Anyi followed Yuantong awkwardly and walked through the tea forest to go down the mountain. At the pavilion at the foot of the mountain, Monk Hongping was sitting in the pavilion with Jiang Huang and others drinking tea. When he saw Jiang Anyi coming, he hurried out to the pavilion to salute.

"Jiang Tanyue", Monk Hongping smiled and said, "I have something to ask for it, so I hope Tan Yue will agree."

Jiang Anyi was a little surprised. He gave a lot of money to incense. Why did this monk get close to the foot? Thinking of the cold reception on the top of the back mountain, Jiang Anyi said a little unhappy: "Master, what's the matter?"

"Jiang Tanyue is the top scholar who was ranked three years old, and his name is even more famous all over the world. There is still a couplet in front of the Heavenly King Hall of Anlong Temple. I want Tan Yue to write a couplet for the Heavenly King Hall." Monk Hongping said.

Jiang Huang came over and said, "An Yi, Wei Mom has already agreed to the master, so you can write a couplet. This is also a matter of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Others can't ask for it."

The Heavenly King Hall enshrines Maitreya Buddha, and there are four heavenly kings on the left and right. Behind Maitreya Buddha is Wei Tuotian. Jiang Anyi cleans his hands and burns incense to Maitreya Buddha and bows to him. The monks next to him have already laid paper and grind the ink, and just wait for Jiang Anyi to pick up his pen and write.
