Nanming Yiming

Chapter 37 Night visit to Jinshan Temple

The journey from Nanjing to Zhenjiang was fairly smooth, and Xie Sanmu and Zhou Boda felt a lot more relaxed.Although Qian Mo made a lot of moves in the past few days, he was quite honest along the way. It seems that he just wanted to add some personal guards and had no other plans!

After all, Qian Mo will definitely be greatly rewarded for donating 500 taels of silver this time, and Xie Sanmu and Zhou Boda dare not offend.After arriving in Zhenjiang, he took the initiative to ask Qian Mo to report the next arrangement.

Qian Mo asked: "Governor Zhou, Master Xie, is the silver tael ready?"

Zhou Boda said: "The silver has been loaded on board and is undergoing final inspection. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, we will ship overnight at Haishi tonight, and go ashore to rest in Guazhou."

Of course, Qian Mo hoped that the silver ship would be transported overnight, as it would be easier to rob the ship at night.However, Qian Mo didn't know whether Zhou Boda was trying to test himself, so he deliberately said: "Tonight the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the river may not be calm. If we transport silver overnight, will it be too risky?"

Seeing what Qian Mo said, Zhou Boda was more relieved, so he said: "The escort should not be delayed. Since the preparations have been made, it is better to leave earlier."

Qian Mo said: "In that case, I have no objection, but you must be careful when crossing the Yangtze River at night, so as not to make mistakes."

"However, there is now an hour before Haishi. My father has been suffering from illnesses recently. This time, the journey northward is bumpy. Qian Mo is even more worried. He wants to go to Jinshan Temple to pray for his father. Is it possible?"

At this time, Xie Sanmu said: "I'm about to leave soon. I'm afraid it's a little hasty to go to Jinshan Temple at this time. It's better not to go."

Qian Mo said: "My father is seriously ill, and Qian Mo is very worried. The Jinshan Temple is right by the river, so it shouldn't delay the trip. In this way, Hong Fugui, you choose 30 soldiers to go with me, and the rest stay on the boat."

"Qian An, you ask your soldiers to bring a box of silver, and I want to donate some incense money."

Seeing what Qian Mo said, Xie Sanmu couldn't stop him anymore.I could only say: "If so, Xie also happens to be going to Jinshan Temple to fulfill his vows, so let's go with Mr. Qian."

Qian Mo laughed: "Then thank you, Master, to go with Qian Mo."

Jinshan Temple is located on Jinshan Mountain in the northwest of Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province. It was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with a height of 44 meters and a circumference of 520 meters.The layout of Jinshan Temple is based on the mountain, so that the mountain and the temple are integrated.The main buildings in the temple are Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Hall, Guanyin Pavilion, Sutra Library, Abbot's Room, etc.Since its establishment, Jinshan Temple has been repaired by generations, and there are many historic sites, including: Cishou Pagoda, Fahai Cave, Miaogao Terrace, Lengjia Terrace (also known as Su Jinglou), Liuyun Pavilion (also known as "Jiangtian Yilan Pavilion") wait.

At this time, Jinshan was still an island in the river, and it was only connected to the land at the beginning of the 20th century due to the "meander of the river".

Jinshan is famous for its Jinshan Temple.Formerly known as Zexin Temple, also known as Longyou Temple.Since the Tang Dynasty, people have called Jinshan Temple, and it is the birthplace of Chinese Buddhist chanting, setting up fast, worshiping Buddha and repenting, and recommending the dead.The gate of Jinshan Temple faces west, and it is built along the mountain. The temples are lined up, and the pavilions are connected.

People in later generations may know Jinshan Temple more through the plot in "Legend of the White Snake". It is a model of Chinese folk collective creation.

At this time, although "Jing Shi Tong Yan" had been written, its circulation was not widespread, and ordinary people knew little about it.

Soon the boat arrived at Jinshan. Although the sky was getting dark, the tall and majestic mountain gate still looked very solemn under the light of the torches.

Although the gate of the mountain has long been closed, the abbot of Jinshan Temple came out to greet him in person when he heard that some "big shots" came to offer incense and pray for blessings!

The abbot said: "Old Monk Fakong, please benefactors."

Qian Mo said: "Fakong presides over it. My disciple is disturbed by the world, and it is difficult to calm down. I wonder if the master can clear up my confusion?"

Fakong asked, "I don't know what worries the benefactor has?"

Chin Mo said:
I once thought that being too sentimental would damage the holy life,
If you enter the mountain, you may not fall into the city,

The world is safe and secure?
Live up to the Tathagata.

At this time, Xie Sanmu despised Qian Mo, and thought: You are in love with the bed, and you never get tired of it. I heard that you have been in love with Gu Xin'er every night these days, and you still have the face to ask this old monk to give you some advice. In order not to delay the practice of Buddhism.

Fakong said: "Amitabha, it seems that the donor has a lot of wisdom roots and has a relationship with my Buddha. However, the practice is in the heart, not in the body. As long as the donor's heart is toward the Buddha, he can practice everywhere!"

"I don't know if the benefactor has heard the story of 'Sister Feng's practice". "

Qian Mo said: "Of course, Mo knows about the allusion to 'Sister Feng', thank you Master Abbot for pointing it out."

What is the allusion to this "Sister Feng"?Xie Sanmu was confused when he heard it, thinking that there are many Buddhist classics, it is not surprising that he has not heard of them.

Soon he arrived at the Daxiong Hall. Qian Mo clasped his hands together and sincerely prayed to the Buddha: "My father has been in poor health recently, and this trip to the north has been bumpy. Please Buddha bless my father's journey to be safe and turn every danger into good luck!"

Then Qian Mo said: "It is really a sin to disturb the Buddhist disciples' Qingxiu. But Qian Mo will have to cross the river overnight, so he has to bother him late at night! The 3000 taels is Qian Mo's heart for the Buddha. I hope the master will not dislike!"

Fakong said: "The Buddha must have heard the prayer of the donor, and will surely bless your wish to come true."

So Qian Mo and others left Jinshan Temple.

Not long after, news spread from Jinshan Temple that "the silver boat is going northward from Zhenjiang overnight".

Abbot Fakong was naturally not a person who traveled through time, and the allusion to "Sister Feng" was also agreed upon by Qian Mo and Xia Wanchun in advance.

Since ancient times, there are basically two ferry crossings in Nanjing: one is Caishiji (now Ma'anshan) in the west, and the other is Guazhou Ferry (opposite Zhenjiang) in the east.

If you go north along the canal, you must take Guazhou Ferry.It is inevitable that Zhenjiang cannot be bypassed, and Jinshan Temple has become a good meeting place.

Long before the completion of the "Tianxia Bureau", Qian Mo had already thought up the strategy of "secretly concealing the situation".

So I gave Xia Wanchun the second tip early.

Once you hear the news that the silver will be shipped by sea, you will immediately open your bag of tips: send people to Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang as soon as possible, and try to go there silently, confirm your identity through "Sister Feng", and will inform you when the time comes.

The abbot also supports the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, and is willing to help the rebel army.By the way, Qian Mo left the remaining 3000 taels of silver to the rebels.
