C31 Return to the Shore

All the tourists who had lunch were upset, but none of them affected the mood for a meal, either. The arrangement in the afternoon was completely changed. Those who had gone to the east line to play were now going to the west line. Most of Chen Tianming's group who went to the west line first went to the east line. A few of them chose to go to Tianmen Temple. Chen Tianming was one of them.

Chen Tianming's purpose of this trip was not to play, so after seeing the Ghost Valley Cave, he did not care about the scenery on the east line. On the contrary, he went to Tianmen Temple. Chen Tianming was a superstitious person. Since there was a Tian Men Temple on Tian Men Mountain, furthermore... Chen Tianming still had a dangerous mission waiting for him in the middle of the night. He had no confidence in it. He might as well pray to the Bodhisattva to ensure his safety and smoothness.

Tianmen Temple was a temple that was built in the Ming Dynasty. It was also the center of Buddhism in the Xiangxi region. Ever since it was built, there had been many believers. The incense offerings were flourishing. The old temple sat in the north and south of the dynasty. On the door of the temple was' Heaven Gate Immortal Mountain ', which had a master of literature,jin Yong, writing extremely high books. The couplets on both sides were: "There is always a sky above the sky, and there is no night. On the mountain, there is no mountain, and there is only one supreme mountain." Its aura was vast.

"There are three entrances to the temple, and two halls Outside the temple, ancient trees towered into the sky, and not far away, there was a seven-storied pagoda. It could be said to be elegant and serene. Ever since the Republic of China, the old monastery in Tianmen Mountain had seen its decline, and there were still ruins to be found.

Currently,tianmen Temple was reconstructed at its original location, and it occupied more than ten thousand square meters of land. It adopted the style of an official from the Qing Dynasty, and it was made up of mountain gates, bell and drum towers, the Heavenly King Palace, the Mahavira Hall, the Guanyin Pavilion, the Scripture Pavilion, and the Hall of Magic. Amongst them, there were some that were extremely powerful. The Guanyin Pavilion was extremely exquisite, and it had two floors that were dark, two floors, and three floors. Its structure was so complex that it was comparable to the various famous classical buildings in the country.

The temple was located in a mountain nest, and it had an open field of vision. It was extremely far to the southeast, and all the mountains were small. It does indeed have the aura of a supreme mountain." Tan enthusiastically introduced the history and architectural style of the Tianmen Temple.

The tour guide, Tan, also followed Chen Tianming and a few other tourists to Tianmen Temple. These tourists, including Chen Tianming, kept nodding their heads as they listened to Tan's introduction of Tianmen Temple.

"Sanjin Hall,liu-Er House, brick walls, iron pots, and pots." Tan smiled and said, "This is a small tune made up by Xiangxi people to describe the Tianmen Mountain Temple." Tan then sang this Xiangxi small tune to everyone, causing Chen Tianming and a few tourists to applaud and applaud.

Tan also generously returned the greetings to everyone. Following that, Tan led everyone into the hall. When they reached the hall, everyone split up. Chen Tianming went straight to a small house outside the hall to buy a lot of "Peace Incense."

Tan saw that Chen Tianming bought a large portion of the Peace Incense and also curiously walked to Chen Tianming's side. She smiled and said to Chen Tianming, "I have always seen that you are quite cold and unsociable. I didn't expect you to be so superstitious."

Seeing Tan take the initiative to talk to him, Chen Tianming was also stunned. He turned his head and smiled at Tan and said, "If you believe it, there will be. If you don't believe it, there will be no. If you believe it, it will work. If you don't believe it, it will not work. Miss Tan, there is no absolute truth. "

Tan saw Chen Tianming say such a profound and mysterious sentence and did not understand for a moment. She thought for a while. She saw that Chen Tianming had already lit three incense sticks. After kowtowing and finishing the incense, she continued, "Seeing that you are not old, what you said is really true."

Chen Tianming looked at Tan and did not reply. Could it be that he could tell Tan that he still wanted to go to the cliff in the middle of the night to search for treasures? So Chen Tianming could only laugh at Tan's words.

Tan saw that Chen Tianming was not friendly and did not continue to ask Chen Tianming. She only watched Chen Tianming enter the hall from afar and worship Buddha.

Chen Tianming counted carefully. This unknown Bodhisattva in front of him was the thirty-sixth Bodhisattva that he had paid respects to. The next one to go should be Guan Yin Pavilion.

Looking at the exquisite and complex structure of the Guan Yin Pavilion, Chen Tianming praised the ingenious design in his heart. It could be considered a classic of ancient architecture.

The four golden words "Execute All Beings" on the black board of the Guan Yin Pavilion were especially eye-catching. It made people feel like worshipping it at first glance. Chen Tianming caught up and stepped into the Guan Yin Pavilion.

Within the Guan Yin Pavilion. There was only a huge golden statue of the Guan Yin. It was wearing a red cloak, and its eyes were slightly open as it looked down at everyone who entered the pavilion. In front of the Golden Body Guanyin statue was a mahogany offering table, on top of which were a few pots of fresh fruits. Beside the offering table, there was an old monk with his eyes closed, knocking on the big red wooden fish, continuously chanting.

Chen Tianming walked forward and lit three incense sticks on the offering table. After that, he walked to the praying mat in front of the offering table and knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times.

After offering the incense, Chen Tianming turned around and was about to leave when a quiet and distant voice sounded behind Chen Tianming, "Almsgiver, please wait."

There was only Chen Tianming in the entire Guanyin Pavilion. There was no one else except the old monk.

Chen Tianming hurriedly turned around to look at the monk beside the offering table. He did not know why this kindly looking old monk stopped him. "Teacher's father, may I ask if you are the one who called me?"

The old monk stopped hitting the wooden fish in his hand and opened his eyes to look at Chen Tianming. "Yes." The old monk's voice sounded like it was devoid of any human emotions.

Chen Tianming saw that the old monk was like an eminent monk and said respectfully: "May I know why teacher's father stopped me?"

"Benefactor, do you have a purpose for coming here?" The old monk's words were like a bomb exploding in Chen Tianming's ears.

Chen Tianming looked at the old monk in shock and nervously asked, "May I know what advice does teacher's father have?"

The old monk did not seem to see the expression on Chen Tianming's face at all. He closed his eyes, which had just opened, and four words popped out from his mouth, "Turn back, head, it's shore."

Of course, Chen Tianming knew what the old monk meant by "turn back to shore." But could Chen Tianming give up? Could he turn back? The answer was clear. Of course, he could not give up, nor could he turn back. Whether it was to find his parents or for himself, and that family he had never come into contact with, Chen Tianming would never give up.

Looking at the old monk who continued to play the wooden fish, Chen Tianming wanted to ask something, but he did not say it out loud.

"We have already reached this stage, can we still turn back?" Chen Tianming thought to himself and sighed. He turned around and left the Guan Yin Pavilion.
