Chapter 350: Hanling Temple



On March 25th, the day of Cold Food Festival, all living and accommodation matters for the students were arranged in the morning, and the competition officially began in the afternoon.

The competition is divided into three categories, one of which is couplets. This is a simple event and is scheduled to be held on the afternoon of March 25th.

The second is poetry, which is the focus and is scheduled for the whole day on March 26th.

The third is the article, which is more troublesome and is scheduled for the morning of March 27th.

The students will return to Guanyun City on the afternoon of March 27th. The winner of this literary competition will be determined by adding up the three scores. The top three in each category will be selected, and the results will be announced at 3:00 PM on March 28th at Liuyun Terrace on Shili Pinghu Lake.

Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose and thought that these poems and essays were indeed inseparable from brothels.

Then Emperor Wen gave an order, and the huge team, escorted by a thousand guards, left the viewing hall and headed north.

The journey is not very far and will take about an hour.

As for the situation of Hanling Temple, Fu Xiaoguan had already arranged for people from Xiyu Tower to collect information before he set out for Jinling.

Hanling Temple is naturally a temple, which is located on Hanshan Mountain west of Guanyun City.

This place has a long history, dating back five hundred years.

Five hundred years ago, when the Wu Dynasty was first established, Emperor Wu Taihuang built the original Guanyun City on the Liluo Plateau. After his son, Emperor Wu Sheng, ascended the throne, he married Princess Zhengyang of the Fan Kingdom at that time.

Princess Zhengyang from the State of Fan believed in Buddhism, so Emperor Wusheng built this temple on Hanshan Mountain, and Princess Zhengyang named it Hanling Temple.

Another is the Zhengyang Palace in the imperial harem, which is also named after Princess Zhengyang.

The one who entered the Zhengyang Palace must be the Empress of the Wu Dynasty.

Princess Zhengyang brought monks from the State of Fan, and Buddhism was introduced into the Wu Dynasty. Although it was not designated as the state religion of the Wu Dynasty, Hanling Temple enjoyed a very high reputation in the minds of the people of the Wu Dynasty.

Monks from all generations have traveled all over the land of Wu Dynasty. Now there are many people who worship Buddhism in Wu Dynasty. Hanling Temple is the birthplace of thousands of temples in Wu Dynasty, so it naturally became a holy place.

After five hundred years of development, the scale of Hanling Temple has changed a lot.

It covers a vast area, with a main hall, dozens of temples, hundreds of monks' quarters, and thousands of monks, all hidden in the cold mountains and pine forests, and with extremely strict laws.

The famous evening drum and morning bell of Hanling Temple in Wu Dynasty has been ringing here for five hundred years!

The current abbot of Hanling Temple is Master Huijue, who is forty years old. He is the eldest disciple of the leader of Fanguo Buddhist Sect and the eldest senior brother of Kuchan.

He has been the abbot of Hanling Temple for six years. According to intelligence, this person has mastered the three essences of Buddhism and has reached the highest level of martial arts - as to how high his level is, the intelligence does not say, because this Master Huijue has never taken action.

Fu Xiaoguan was still sitting in Yu Wenyun's princess sedan chair.

In addition to Dong Shulan and Yu Wenjun, there is also Su Su.

She sat next to Fu Xiaoguan very naturally. There were six food boxes on the table. She bought them at Xinglinji. She especially liked the crystal buns from Xinglinji.

She opened the lunch box with a smile on her face: "Two sisters, eat it while it's hot. There are your favorite crab roe buns and crispy rice cakes..."

She turned her head to look at Fu Xiaoguan and added, "You can eat too."

Of course, Fu Xiaoguan and the other two were not polite, and a fragrance wafted out of the carriage.

"Second Senior Brother also ran off to Xinglin Ji, and he probably hasn't come back yet..." Su Su looked at Fu Xiaoguan while eating a crystal bun. "If Second Senior Brother eats as much as he wants, he can make Xinglin Ji unable to sell any breakfast. Xinglin Ji's breakfast is very expensive. Although you gave him 500 taels of silver notes, I estimate that he can finish it in five days. I know you are not short of money, but if Second Senior Brother eats like that... sooner or later he will eat you out of money. What I mean is, Bei Wangchuan shot you twice but saved your life, and Eighth Junior Brother Su Mo also got a blessing in disguise... I heard from Fifth Senior Brother and the others that Su Mo and that girl named Taohua are now in love, and I'm afraid their marriage is on the agenda. He and Miss Taohua have probably left the border town and headed for the Taoist temple with the master's order. So the question is whether to kill Bei Wangchuan or not. Should we let Second Senior Brother go back to the temple?"

Su Su said it calmly, but Fu Xiaoguan laughed when he heard it.

Dong Shulan and Yu Wenjun looked at each other. They understood what Su Su said.

As Gao Yuanyuan's sixth junior sister, she turned her elbow towards Fu Xiaoguan. When she thought about how Su Su had been running around with them and quietly learning how to do business in the past few days, the meaning of it became clear.

Could it be that just after sending away Wu Ling'er, there will be another Su Meime?

They both liked Su Su very much. After all, they had been together for a long time. Compared with Wu Linger's sudden appearance, they were obviously more accepting of Su Su.

What's more, Susu is such a beautiful girl and plays the piano so well.

So Dong Shulan raised her eyebrows slightly, and Yu Wenjun smiled faintly.

"I think your second senior brother is very interesting. Tell me about your fifth senior brother Su Diandian and your seventh senior brother Su Yangyang."

"What do they have to say? Su Diandian runs incredibly fast. Master said that no one in the world could catch up to Su Diandian except for those at the Saint level. And Su Yangyang is even more bizarre. He's proficient in all kinds of mechanical mechanisms and formations. Back in the temple, he went to dig up Master's tomb, simply because he heard that the Taoist temple still had a divine inkwell crafted by the master craftsman Zhu Xi. Of course, Master caught him and locked him up in the tomb, saying it was confinement, but he broke the mechanism of the tomb and slipped out through the back door."

"Inkwell? Did he find it?"

"Of course not, but the place he came out from was quite magical. It was actually the Siguo Cliff in the back mountain. At that time, Second Senior Brother was imprisoned in the Siguo Cliff to reflect on his mistakes. Seventh Junior Brother suddenly appeared from behind him, which scared Second Senior Brother so much that he lost two kilograms in that month."

Fu Xiaoguan and the other two were stunned. Now, except for Su Mo, there were seven of the eight disciples of the Taoist Academy gathered around Fu Xiaoguan. Among these seven disciples, only Su Mo looked normal.

Of course, he is now also a disciple of the Taoist temple, but he is too insignificant as a disciple. He has never been to the Taoist temple and doesn't even know what the abbot looks like.

Therefore, he thought that he was just a nominal disciple of the Taoist temple. If it was convenient in the future, he would definitely go to the mountain to take a look.

The carriage drove out of Guanyun City and arrived at Hanshan along the flat and wide road.

At the foot of Hanshan Mountain, the carriage could not go up any further because there was a huge mountain gate at the entrance. On the gate was a couplet:

Don’t say it is an empty door, you must step on solid ground to enter.

Be careful of forks in the road, if you take the wrong one you may fall into a deep pit!
