Chapter 12: Dalongxing Temple (III)

The four heavenly kings worship the Heavenly Kings Hall. The four heavenly kings are Buddhist guardian gods, commonly known as the "Four Vajras". The four heavenly kings, also known as the Four Heavenly Kings, are four heavenly gods among the twenty heavens of Buddhism. They are located in the first heaven, and the first heaven is also called the Four Heavenly Kings Heaven. They are usually listed on both sides of the first hall of the Pure Land Buddhist Temple, so the Heavenly Kings Hall is named.

"Your Majesty, you may not know yet that there is another allusion to these four heavenly kings worshipped in this temple?" Hongzhi Heshi introduced.

"What allusions, let me know more." Zhu Yinglong smiled and said, "He was the least pressure on this trip, and the preparations for the Battle of Crossing the River were handed over to Yuan Chonghuan and Hong Chengchou. His purpose was to understand the post-war situation on the spot and to be formulated by the court in relevant economic recovery policies.

"Does the emperor know that the statues of the four heavenly kings in the Heavenly King Hall in the Tianxia Temple were all standing more than two hundred years ago?" Hongzhi smiled.

"Oh." Zhu Yinglong was very surprised. He rarely paid attention to religion and rarely visited temples. Naturally, he didn't know that, pointing to the statues of the four heavenly kings in the Heavenly King Hall and asked, "But all I see are sitting. Is it related to this Dalongxing Temple?"

"Yes, this allusion is also related to Emperor Taizu!" Hongzhi said.

"Let me tell me." Zhu Yinglong said as he walked.

"It is said that Emperor Taizu suffered from a strange disease when he was young, and cried day and night. His parents had no money to seek medical treatment, so they had to seek Buddha and were willing to convert to Buddhism. Later, Emperor Taizu's illness was cured. So when Emperor Taizu was ten years old, he entered this temple to convert to Buddhism. He started with the lowest diligence, carrying water, firewood and sweeping the Buddhist temple every day. When he was sweeping the Heavenly Kings Hall, because the four heavenly kings stood up, their legs were like pillars, and it was inconvenient to sweep the floor. While sweeping, he shouted, "Rise your feet!" It was indeed "Your words", and the four heavenly kings actually raised their feet and sat down as they said. Then, the newly built temples in the world followed one after another, and the four heavenly kings also sat down." Hongzhi explained step by step.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Yinglong said.

"Of course, this temple hosted it from generation to generation. This temple also preserves the broom that Emperor Taizu cleaned the Heavenly King's Hall back then!" Hongzhi said.

"Oh, can I let it be quietly?" Zhu Yinglong became interested in it. What kind of broom has been preserved for more than two hundred years, but it has rotted sooner.

"Of course, the emperor, please come here!" Hongzhiheshi agreed in one go.

Everyone came to the huge offering table of the Heavenly King Hall, and saw a long box on it, wrapped tightly with yellow edges.

Abbot Hongzhi knelt down, and Zhu Yinglong led everyone to kneel down. Even if the thing inside had nothing to do with him, at least it was something that was used by the lord of a country, and his ancestors would not lose much after worshiping him.

Looking at Hongzhi's pious appearance, Zhu Yinglong suddenly felt that he should be like Hongzhiyi, and the feeling of being unable to say that he wanted to worship him, his mind suddenly became clear and he kowtowed three times in a regular manner.

After kneeling down, Hongzhi got up and uncovered the faded yellow edges, then took out the key, and opened the long box of mahogany carved paint, which was antique. Judging from the color of the paint, it should have been stored for many years. As soon as the box was exposed, golden light burst out. Zhu Yinglong stood in front. Under the stimulation of the golden light, he squinted his eyes and reached out to block it.

Hongzhi seemed to have gotten used to it. He opened the box without blinking and stood aside.

Zhu Yinglong looked back and found that everyone behind him had this reaction. No one else felt anything. He was suspicious. Did he just see the golden light? What's going on? With this question, Zhu Yinglong stepped forward and looked at the bare broom root carefully. Apart from being very clean, it was ordinary and nothing special?

Zhu Yinglong felt a sudden wonder. Could this be something supernatural? While Xiong Hu and the main girl were visiting, Zhu Yinglong asked Hongzhi in a low voice: "Master Abbot, did you see anything strange just now?"

"Strange?" Master Hongzhi was at first confused, and suddenly a very intense and exciting light shot out from his eyes.

"Master Abbot?" Zhu Yinglong couldn't help but push Hongzhi.

"God bless me in the Ming Dynasty, God bless the people, Amitabha!" Hongzhi shouted the Buddha's name for a long time, and everyone looked at Hongzhi's eyes that were almost excited and burst into tears without understanding.

What can make such a great monk who has been chosen outside the world excited to be like this?

"Master Abbot, what happened? You made me confused!" Zhu Yinglong said.

"Emperor Taizu became a monk in this temple. He was a monk since he was a child and had excellent Buddhist teachings. After building the Dalongxing Temple, he personally put the broom in the box and left a word, and the golden light was seen, and the real dragon appeared. It means that when his descendants could see the golden light on the broom, they were the true dragon emperor and the revival king of the Ming Dynasty." Hongzhi explained.

"Has there no Emperor of the Ming Dynasty seen this broom before?" Zhu Yinglong was a little stunned. He didn't know the real Zhu Youjian at all. Moreover, he never thought that there was a true dragon emperor. Although he actually saw the golden light, he knew that he was not a person from this time and space. He wanted to know the reason for many things, but they were all mysteries. He was already almost unwilling to remember these things, but he didn't know that when he came to Dalongxing Temple, he hooked everything out and let him fall into the fog.

Hongzhi's answer was to shake his head and then say, "No."

"Has no emperor ever been to Dalongxing Temple in more than two hundred years?" Zhu Yinglong said in surprise.

"Of course there are, but they are not as good as the emperor, what you saw just now!" Hongzhi said.

Zhu Yinglong was a little disbelief, and stood up to step forward, closed the box of mahogany carved lacquer again, and then slowly opened it. The strong golden light appeared in front of him again, making him unable to open his eyes at all. In a flash, the golden light disappeared again. Zhu Yinglong tried this many times, and it was all like this. Now he doubted whether there was something wrong with his eyes temporarily.

Everyone looked at Zhu Yinglong with incomprehension and closed the box, and then opened it again and again, and they all looked at Zhu Yinglong's puzzling action stupidly.

After trying it many times, turning the box over and observing it many times, he found nothing. Zhu Yinglong finally gave up, shook his head and put the box, and then withdrew from the Heavenly King Hall with Hongzhi.
