Chapter 78 Shock (continued)(1/2)
With anticipation, the Wang and his wife followed the monk around the pool and walked forward. There were steps in front of them, and the hall was on the steps.
When they looked closely, they saw that there was a blur in the hall and there was no Buddha statue. They couldn't help but wonder, and they continued to leave.
Turning to the steps and looking up, I saw a Buddha statue suddenly appearing in the hall on the steps, revealing half of his body.
The two of them felt unbelievable: What's going on? The Buddha appeared?
I clearly looked from a distance and there was nothing in the hall?
The monk who led the way introduced: "Two Tan Yue, this is the middle gate and the main hall is behind."
Wang and Xiao Miaoqing looked at each other: "Ah? Zhong, Zhongmen? Not the main hall?"
"This is the middle gate, but it just looks like a hall." The monk said, almost laughing, feeling proud: There is an amazing trick here!
"This, is this?" Wang? was very excited and wanted to know why there was a Buddha statue in the middle gate, but he obviously didn't see it just now.
"Tan Yue asked to climb up the steps. After going up, he would naturally understand."
"well!"
Wang? I really wanted to jump up in just a few steps, but if I wanted to maintain my demeanor, I held the princess' hand and slowly climbed up the steps.
As I walked, I saw that the Buddha statue in the middle door gradually became "distorted", the outline began to dissipate, and the lower half was... empty?
When the two of them walked up to the top of the steps, they found that there were wooden boards hanging in the upper half of the middle door. The boards were inclined and separated from each other, with patterns on them.
The Buddha statue is gone.
"There are two Tan Yues, a pair of paintings hanging on the door, but this painting is actually composed of many small wooden boards."
"The wooden board is tilted, and only by looking up at the steps can you just see the pattern drawn by the board clearly, which is the upper body of a Buddha statue."
"So that's it, so that's it!"
Wang? nodded and looked back, but saw that the two tree statues were like erected screens, just blocking the view of the person who was out of the passage.
Therefore, in front of the double trees, people will not notice the mystery of the middle gate on the north stairs behind it.
After walking around the twin trees, because the location is wrong, I looked up and mistakenly thought that the middle door above the steps was the main hall, and the main hall was blurred and there was no Buddha statue.
I walked to the steps, looked up, and painted the middle door panel, and then I was amazed that "the Buddha statue suddenly appeared".
Walking up the steps, I found that this was the middle gate and the main hall...
The main hall is not far ahead, but it is quite tall. However, when I was just under the steps, because of the obstruction of the middle door, people could not see the entire view of the main hall.
After passing the middle gate, the main hall appeared in front of you.
But this hall is a bit special, it is a vertical rectangle (seeing from the direction of the middle gate). The normal hall (Buddhist hall) should be the same as the main hall of the ordinary mansion, and it is a horizontal rectangle.
Then, the Buddha statues at the door and in the hall should be arranged in front and behind the hall, which is quite far away.
In this way, the light in the hall will be very poor, and the Buddha statue is shrouded in darkness. Even if the roof of the hall is open and there is a window for lighting, the light leaks out and can only illuminate the head of the Buddha statue.
In other words, when I entered the hall, I saw a shiny Buddha head hanging in the air in the dark. Isn’t this strange?
However, thinking of the series of "shocks" just now, Wang? became curious and wanted to see what "shocks" there were, so he walked into the hall with the princess.
As soon as they entered the hall, their eyes suddenly became dark, but soon, the couple was shocked by the scene inside the hall.
In the hall, there was indeed a little dim on both sides, but there were windows on the upper part of the walls on both sides, and the light was scattered diagonally.
Therefore, the road in the middle of the hall is reflected by light and shadow, like a luminous road.
This "light path" cuts through the darkness in the hall like a knife, and keeps moving forward.
In front is a large and bright space with Shakyamuni Buddha standing inside, and there is a Bodhisattva on both sides of the left and right.
Both Buddha statues and Bodhisattva statues have head lights on their heads, and after the three images, there is a back screen, and the flame pattern on it appears vividly under the surrounding light.
The three images in the light were almost dim on their bodies, like a beacon in the darkness, guiding the lost travelers.
It is also like a warm bonfire in a cold night, which makes travelers who are cold and cold feel a little warm, making them approach involuntarily to dispel the severe cold.
The king and the princess couldn't help but walk forward, walking on the "light road", approaching the Buddha statue ahead, and as they walked, they gradually saw the details of the Buddha statue.
There is a statue of Sakyamuni in the middle, which is the same as the statue of Jiankang Buddhist Temple, but somehow it looks even more lifelike.
The right hand has a fearless seal: raise your arms upwards in front of your chest, stretch your fingers naturally, and your palms face outward.
This hand seal represents the Buddha's great compassionate wish to save sentient beings. It is said that it can calm all living beings and be fearless, so it is called the fearless seal.
The left hand knot and wish seal of the Buddha statue: extend your hand naturally, your fingers droop, and your palms face outward.
It means that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can satisfy their wishes and make them fulfilled.
This seal has the meaning of compassion, so it is often combined with the fearless seal.
The Bodhisattvas on the left and right ribs also look lifelike. Whether it is the bun, facial expression, hand movement, or the folds of clothes, the flame patterns and flying images on the back screen, they all give people a feeling of "moving".
Xiao Miaoqing looked at the exquisite Buddha statue and found that the location of these three images was more like a "pavilion" with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides.
Because the lighting on three sides is good and there is lighting on the top, the three images and the back screen have sufficient light, making it look radiant.
When I came in through the hall gate, because both sides were dark and there was only light on the middle road, the hall seemed dark and narrow.
Under the suppressed darkness, the unreserved light, strong light and dark contrast between the Buddha statues in front of them makes the people entering the hall feel "a thousand feet full of light" about the Buddha statues.
In addition, the Buddha statue is lifelike, which makes people feel a urge to kneel down and burn incense to pray, and the shock in their hearts is extremely strong.
Wang? Looking back, he looked carefully and found rows of cushions on both sides of the hall, which seemed to be for believers to take their seats.
He closed his eyes and imagined that he was sitting in it, surrounded by darkness, but there was a bright Buddha statue in front of him.
The Buddha seemed to be smiling and looked at himself in a dark (turbid world), and the feeling of being about to be saved by the Buddha was enough to make the believers sitting here praying burst into tears.
This layout...
It's really exquisite!
The couple praised in their hearts again, and the monk was proud of seeing the shocked appearance of the two Tan Yue.
Hanshan Temple has not officially opened to the public, but none of the people who came to Hanshan Temple were as shocked by the simple but not simple layout in the temple.
This Buddhist temple is exquisitely designed by Li Enjun himself, and can be regarded as a masterpiece. It has been compared with the big temples such as Tongtai Temple in Jiankang City.
The most important thing is that relatively speaking, the cost of building a temple is not high.
This is the most amazing thing. The entire Hanshan Temple was built very quickly, and the entire cost is not as good as a bronze Buddha statue of 100,000 kilograms in Jiankang Temple.
According to the size of Hanshan Temple, the construction cost is significantly cheaper than many Buddhist temples.
The subsequent maintenance costs are not high, because most of the buildings are brick and tile buildings, so it is not easy to catch fire.
There are many buildings, so there are many rooms, which can accommodate more lay Buddhists and believers in the temple to recite scriptures and listen to lectures.
Therefore, Hanshan Temple is really good, no worse than the big temple in Jiankang City.
The monk was proudly listening to the king's question: "I heard that the newly built Xu Xian Temple in Hanshan City is also exquisitely arranged, which makes people see it, and I feel very shocked?"
......
Xu Xian Temple, the Wang and his wife who came to visit, stood in front of a huge painting wall and were still moving, carefully examining the painting contents in the painting wall.
There is a group picture on it, which depicts the story of Xu Xian and Xu Zhenjun leading his disciples to subdue monsters.
The bottom of the picture is white, outlining the characters, and the lines of the monster are black, and the whole painting is mainly black and white. Although there is not much color, it still outlines the water monster and the characters to life, making people fascinated.
Just like ink and water landscape painting.
The guide road boy saw the two distinguished guests watching, so he quickly coughed a few times and walked to the right with the distinguished guests, trying to bypass the painting wall and continue walking in.
As she walked, Xiao Miaoqing's eyes narrowed because she found that the painted wall was actually "fragmented" and was split by vertical lines.
When I walked to the side of the painting wall, I realized that the painting wall had disappeared. Instead, I replaced it with rows of... slender slats inserted on the ground?
Wang? was also attracted by this "mechanism". After thinking about it carefully, he almost strode his hands and applauded: "It turns out that it is exquisite. It turns out that it is made of slats to form a painted wall."
These slats are divided into many rows, interlaced with left and right.
When people climb up the steps, the painted walls they see on the front are the "complete" walls formed by these slats.
When the person turns to the side and looks from the side, the painted wall will naturally disappear, and the side of the slats is like a lattice, and you can directly see the situation opposite, as if transparent.
When I walked back and looked, I saw runes behind the slats, as if talismans were lined up to shock monsters and monsters.
This setting is indeed exquisite. Compared with the "Sword Tomb" I passed by just now, there is less solemn and more ethereal fairy spirit.
Xiao Miaoqing recalled the "Sword Tomb" she had just passed, and remembered the swords densely inserted on the ground, and the demon-killing sword in the middle that were also inserted obliquely on the ground, like a pillar, and felt a chill on his back.
She had never seen such a Taoist venue, so she was impressed by her memory of Jiankang Buddhist Temple and Taoist temple.
The sword tomb refers to a tragic battlefield, which looks sad but also makes people feel passionate.
After all, the Gonggong built the Xuxian Temple to ensure safety, guard the Hanshan Weir, and prevent the river demon from causing trouble. Since it is to kill the demon, it is naturally necessary to "set up the formation" of the demon sword.
Her inexplicable emotions were exaggerated by the sword tomb, and then she was "washed" by this fairy-like painting wall. She felt refreshed and happy. She came to the middle gate ahead, with some expectations:
What is the scene afterwards?
The group entered the middle gate and saw a Taoist priest with fairy spirit standing with a sword under the eaves of the hall, following the Taoist boy holding a magic weapon on both sides.
The Taoist priest and Taoist boys looked like a battle-oriented attitude, with the statues made in detail and looked lifelike.
