The gate of Erlongshan Temple is located in Group 8 of Erlong Village, about 4 1 km away from the ancient city of Lin Qiong. Erlongshan is an extension of the southern section of Longmen Mountain, with an altitude of 890 meters. Between Gaohe, Huojing, Shuikou, Qikou and Wangu, Jiaguan, Pingle and Qikou, there are dances in Jiaguan as Erlong Mountain, Hu Da Cliff, Erlong Mountain, Bandeng Mountain, Anzi Mountain, Shifoling Mountain, Shishan Mountain, Diaohu Lake and a round mountain surrounded by pearls.

The winding mountains on both sides of the "Pearl" are like soaring "two dragons" vying for the treasure. Especially on a sunny day after the rain, standing on or near the release mountain, watching Erlong Mountain and the mountainside, there are light and thin clouds floating bit by bit, and the scenery of Erlong grabbing treasure is even more vivid, dreamlike and wonderful. The ancients had a poem praising: "the mountains are heavy and the peaks are green, and the fairy bureau is in hand." Today, my friends and I came to see the victory. I am worthy of this mountain. " "Tiantai hangs this mountain in one vein, and there are dragons everywhere. There is a scarab lock in front and a phoenix flapping its wings in the back. "

On Erlong Mountain, take five cement roads, including Xiaonianzi, Wulongtai, Daniangou, Substation and Shuang Tu, and you can reach the Jieyin Temple parking lot of Erlong Temple. You can also take the mountain road from Fengle Village and Fenghuang Village and directly reach Hutang, the highest place in Erlong Mountain. Take a bus to Xiangshuigou and walk up the hill. The scenery here is very unique.

When we reached Xiangshuigou, there was a stone road two or three feet wide, climbing up along two mountain canyons. Walking under the swaying bamboo shadow, it only takes more than ten minutes, and the stone road will take you to the "Yingxian Bridge" in the shade of a mountainside. This is a small road and bridge, which is made up of three big stones one foot square across the ditch. There is a slope near the middle arch, a small blue tile roof, wooden railings and wooden benches on both sides, which can provide shade, shelter from rain, rest and wander. After resting on Yingxian Bridge, the tree-lined passageway will gradually raise you, and you can look up at Qingfeng and overlook the valley. The left and right trees are tall and straight, and the branches and leaves are lush, covering the sky. Walking along the stone road, beating leaves through the forest, wandering forward, feeling the breeze blowing on your face and covering your body cool, refreshing and refreshing. I can't help but admire "this is the three-dimensional greening", "natural oxygen bar" and "cool world". You continue to climb high, pass through three or five Buddhist temples in the dense green waves, and reach the "ancestral temple where the tiger god is" on the top of the mountain. Looking east and south at the ancestral hall, the mountains are undulating, the villages are clean and tidy, the fields are green, and there are many "hills" floating in the vast sea of clouds; If it is just in the morning, you can see the spectacular sight of the rising sun in Ran Ran in the vast sea of clouds; Looking to the west and north, there are beautiful peaks, overlapping mountains and white clouds rolling and falling on the mountainside. When you get here, you suddenly feel domineering, tall and stalwart.

Erlongshan architecture began in Han and Tang Dynasties. After many vicissitudes, the architecture of Han and Tang Dynasties disappeared. In the twelfth year of Yongle (A.D. 14 14), a local surnamed Li went to a family and built a temple on the old site, which became the Buddha statue of Samantabhadra, with a growing incense. Unexpectedly, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, all buildings were once again destroyed by military disasters. Today, the second Longshan building was built by a Li Hengshu, called Li Laoxian. Li Hengshu (1738—1835) was born in Caochiba, Jiamenguan. 1746 just turned 8 and started chopping wood in Erlong Mountain. He built a hut on the top of the mountain to live in, watch the mountains, practice martial arts and raise crops, accompanied by a cat. The cat is inseparable from him, eating and living together, and won't hurt anyone. He hurried to close the door, and the cat didn't come back until it was sent to Dayangou. Three years later, in the hot summer, the cat died and the body did not rot for a long time. After Li Hengshu buried him, he made a statue in the temple at the top of the mountain. Later generations called the statue "Tiger God" and the temple "Tiger Hall".

After a hundred years' burial, he became an immortal with infinite magic: he can "fight the sword", "fly up the tree", "cut down the tree to protect his family" and "call for rain whenever he wants", fly up the lamp, draw amulets, recite spells and get rid of all diseases; A dozen people can't lift the stone pillars in the temple. He sat on the stone pillar, and with a wave of his sword, eight people could carry him away. When repairing a temple and cutting down a tree, the tree will fly wherever his sword points; When the big tree in the yard was cut down, he read a spell and waved a sword. The big tree flew out of the yard without hurting its owner. A patient from Pujiang came to seek medical treatment. He told the patient that he would take the 820 silver from his family to work in Erlong Mountain, and he would be well after a long illness. The patient said that my family's 800 taels of silver is not enough. He said, "Go back and count your money. Don't come if it's less than 800. Don't come for more than 800. " The patient went back to count the money, no more, no less, just 800. The patient even called it magic, so he quickly sent 820 silver to work in Erlongshan. After his divination, incantation and burning money, the patient really recovered. The wonders spread like wildfire, shocking all directions. Pujiang, Mingshan, Ya 'an, Hongya, Jiajiang ... People came to him for treatment. No matter how cunning and eccentric you are, you will recover as long as you find him. People who come here call him Li Laoxian.

Li Hengshu went up the mountain at the age of eight and died at the age of 97, leaving four courtyards and more than 80 houses for Erlong Mountain. The first heavy building, with two houses, was built at the entrance of the platform. On the right side of the entrance is the Town God Temple, with a golden statue on the clay sculpture. The left courtyard is full of statues of Buddhist bodhisattvas. The back hall is built on the mountain, the stone steps are connected up and down, and two rows of compartments are side by side. The east wing is dedicated to the statue of Sanyun, and the west wing is dedicated to the physical statue of the second generation master Ru Chen. Ru Chen, known as Chen Guanyin. Chen Guanyin died, forming a zombie, sealed with raw lacquer, and then wrapped in mud and colored plastic. Out of the backyard, by the door, there are only a hundred steps to the right. It's the second building, on the trough on the right side of the mountain. There is a clay sculpture of Guanyin with a height of 20 feet and the other is the statue of founder Li Hengshu. The statue is exquisite in craftsmanship and the wind blows like a stranger. The round mountain range is the top of the mountain, which is the third building. There are three rooms in a row, in the middle of which is the temple of the famous ancestor, also known as the tiger temple.

Erlongshan has 100 houses, and Fangzhizhu has more than half of the tall buildings. Each stone pillar weighs thousands of kilograms, with four sides chamfered from the line and a zigzag plane. A hole was made in the stone pillar, and a wooden fangs passed through the falcon's head. Beware of wooden hanging beams on eaves columns and door-tilted columns, and put wood carving rafters (piers and foundations) on the hanging beams. Under the square stone pillar, there is also a stone carving square stove stool. The stool is square, with round lips and waist at the upper part, carved with four feet at the lower part and triangular hanging cloth at the four sides. The stone pillars are engraved with couplets, including regular script, running script and cursive script. The most representative couplet is: "It's no use burning incense if you think evil;" This is intentional and honest, and it's nothing to see that I don't worship. "

Therefore, although there are many buildings, there have been neither temple names nor temple names since ancient times. People just call it "Erlong Mountain". ?
