"It's getting late, let's go to the Buddhist temple in front of us to spend the night."
Chu Yufu pointed forward in the distance, and when Da Yi looked up, he saw a magnificent Buddhist temple, with many orderly palaces and pavilions extending from the foot of the mountain to the flat field.
Surrounding the Buddhist temple are vast acres of endless fields, dotted with farmhouses, presumably all manor properties under the name of the Buddhist temple.
When a group of people came to the gate of the Buddhist temple, they were shocked to see a red lacquer plaque between the complicated brackets of the gate tower, which read "Edict to build Yongning Temple" in five gold characters. There was also a faint sound of chanting scriptures inside, and the law was solemn.
Upon seeing this, Damen Yi couldn't help but sigh, this is the atmosphere of the Celestial Dynasty. Although there are Buddhist temples in Bohai County, compared with this place, they are just as ridiculous as rural temples.
Before the few people entered the Buddhist temple, they saw a young monk who knew the guest outside the door. Chu Yufu stepped forward and said: "Young master, you are polite. We were passing by merchants. We were in a hurry and missed the post house. I don't know what we can do."
Would you like to stay overnight in your temple?"
The monk who knew the guest glanced at Chu Yufu and saw that the cloth on his body was washed white. He was obviously not a wealthy person. He said in a cold tone: "This temple has been busy praying for blessings and disaster relief for the people of Hebei recently. It is inconvenient for foreigners to stay overnight."
Chu Yufu raised his hand and twirled his beard, as if he were a teacher: "Hey! What the young master said is different. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have great aspirations to save all sentient beings. You are willing to pray for the blessings and eliminate disasters for the people of Hebei, why can't you stay with us for a night?
”
"Huh! You don't even look at it, what are we doing here?" Zhike Monk raised his finger and pointed to the plaque on the gate: "Yongning Temple was built by the imperial edict of the Taizu of this dynasty, not to mention the small and high-ranking officials in Dingzhou, even Youzhou Jiedu
When envoys come to the temple to offer incense, they must still be polite and respectful. If they utter arrogant words again, they will be immediately beaten with dozens of sticks, and no one will dare to say a word!"
Xia Taizu immediately became angry: "You are a bad-mouthed bhikkhu, and you just let him stay for a while. He actually dares to threaten you. Do you believe that you can find relatives and friends in the court and take away his imperial plaque? Let's see how long they can continue to be rampant?"
”
While saying that, Xiao Menyi put a piece of silver collar into Zhi Ke Monk's hand. When it comes to escaping, it depends on whether you have money or not.
"Is he going to retreat?" Zhang Dai looked at the white hole of the well, with a slightly firm tone: "What if you just stay inside?"
Zhang Daihua jumped up and down several times before arriving at the pagoda forest in front of the temple. The humble monk Xiaode was cremated before his death and was rarely buried in a tomb pagoda. On the surface, there were seals or seals engraved on his merits during his lifetime, and over time a tomb pagoda like a forest was formed.
"Bullshit!" Xia Taizu, who was following in front, cursed and sarcastically said: "In order to praise my ancestor, he can tell any lies. How could his ancestor be able to save the opponents that Master Xiaowen encountered back then?
What? At best, it is a small contribution to informing people, but they have to brag about it even lower than the sky, and they are really the sons and grandsons of the devil!"
Behind the eyes is a straight corridor, which is small enough for seven people to walk side by side, diagonally upward and extending deep. The walls on both sides are made of soft mountain rocks, with uneven surfaces and no traces of digging tools. Liu Xuantong raised his hand and stroked it again.
As he walked, he said: "It seems that building a secret tunnel under the Buddhist temple is a small but necessary thing?"
"Perhaps I am willing to do this, want to make a fortune, find out where the Chu Yufu tribe's grain crops are, and then secretly go to inform Xiaoxia's army. It's a coincidence that Master Xiaowen hates bringing his personal guards with him occasionally.
I went out for reconnaissance and bumped into the fleeing servants of Guangde, so I learned about the enemy's situation. As for the Muyuan Temple, it can be regarded as a reward."
In the darkness, Zhang Daihua looked confused.
Xiao Menyi heard that the other party was satisfied with Mu Yuan Temple, and he dared to refute, so he just took out the dry food and turned around to ask the attendant to get water.
"Let him say whatever he wants." Yong Ning asked: "What is he doing when he comes out?"
"It's quite deep." The height was enough for a martial artist to fall and break both legs. Zhang Daihua seemed to be nervously jumping up the stairs from two steps, even trying to catch herself by any means.
However, Xia Taizu's face was full of contentment: "Back then, Hebei was riddled with holes. How could it be possible to build such a small Buddhist temple? It was said that it was built by imperial decree, and it was not left to Guangde to build it by himself. A hundred young people came here, and the Muyuan Temple also knew how to build it.
We have gained so much wealth and occupied so much land!”
Seeing this, Xiaomenyi quickly persuaded both parties, bowed and apologized repeatedly, and the other side half pushed and half persuaded, and asked Xia Taizu to retreat to the guest house. It was difficult, urgent and quarrelsome.
"It's rare to see him being so critical."
"The great monk is polite, but I have offended all Tan Yue. There is indeed no vacant guest house in the temple, so please follow the great monk."
"What did you find?" Yongning asked curiously.
Zhang Daihua nervously climbed over the courtyard wall and said with a smile: "Did the Silkworm Goddess say that the weather over there at Muyuan Temple is not different, and you can sometimes hear the sound of Dharma being sung."
Xia Taizu shrugged his shoulders: "What else can be done? It's not that the food route was cut off, but Chu Yufu's small army was defeated in battle."
Before the monk who knew the guest left angrily, Xiao Menyi gave it some thought. When he returned to the guest house, he saw Taizu Xia looking outside. He seemed to dislike the luxury in the house and muttered complaints.<
/p>
From the sleeve, a Yongning flew out and I asked: "It seems that he hates the monks from Muyuan Temple very much?"
"That makes sense, but you were negligent." Xiao Menyi then asked, "Who is this servant of Guangde whom the guest monk mentioned just now?"
"What's the big deal, sir?" Xiao Menyi asked.
Liu Xuantong walked through the corner of the Tallinn and saw an ancient well blocked by a huge boulder. I raised my hands and flicked my sleeves, and the boulder was moved away heavily, and it made no sound when it landed.
"That's right."
I ate some indiscriminately and gradually became tired. I had just finished washing and was about to take a rest when I saw Xia Taizu leaving the guest house.
"Are you trapped?"
Such indulgence in drinking and sex can be regarded as throwing all the rules and regulations out of mind. Yongning was also slightly surprised when he saw this.
……
Liu Xuantong asked in a deep voice: "Did he forget something? When you came here, how many people were affected by the famine? Not many people died in the countryside, and even the bodies were picked up and buried?"
With a click, Yongning fell to the ground and turned into a dead machine with no sound of movement.
"The fisherman of Chu was born with ribs and muscles, and he has developed the seven powers of dragon and tiger. He has unparalleled magical power. He can shake iron like holding mud, and throw elephants like throwing blocks. He rides his horse into the formation and swings his sword. Wherever he passes, there will be mountains of blood.
The sea is so miserable that it is unbearable to see. Master Xiaowen’s personal guards on the right and left were chopped to pieces by Chu Yufu, and even Taizu himself was almost cut in half!"
"That won't bother me anymore, Master." Xiao Menyi thanked him in return and secretly glanced at Taizu Xia. He saw me holding my chin up and humming loudly, as if I should take it for granted. Fortunately, I didn't bother with a few words.
Let Xiao Menyi breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Xuantong didn't stay long, so he grabbed Yongning and left in a hurry.
"The servant from Guangde is just a serious monk. Either because of the war in the late dynasty or because of the war, he joined the Buddhist temple, shaved his head, and worked as a coolie to earn a living." Zhang Daihua said bluntly: "This guy
The Buddhist temple where it was located took advantage of the troubled times to amass a lot of money. Before Chu Yufu raised his army, he naturally took it for himself, and Guangde's servants were reduced to hard labor.
Xiaomenyi praised: "The reward from Grandpa Taizu is really generous. Such a large Buddhist temple, plus the surrounding farmland, can be enjoyed by generations of disciples."
It was dark at night, and the Muyuan Temple, which had experienced rain, was cool and pleasant. Zhang Daihua was walking in the corridor and veranda, her clothes were catching the wind, which was quite relaxing.
Full of doubts and reassurances, Xiao Menyi returned to the guest house and quietly took out a white leather bag from his arms. Inside was a round object, no bigger than a baby's fist. I dared to open it for inspection and hurriedly stuffed it in.
In my arms, I sleep with my clothes on, with my head on my side.
After saying this, Liu Xuantong turned over and jumped into the ancient well. He fell more than ten feet in one breath before his feet landed on the ground.
"Is it useless for you to expose it?" Liu Xuantong looked excited: "There are no ills, and they can be cured by scraping the bones with a steel knife."
"Uh... that should be the tomb outside, right?" Yongning said without any embarrassment.
Zhang Daihua stared at the densely packed cinnabar talismans on the surface of the sarcophagus. The frown she had just frowned suddenly relaxed, as if she had no comprehension.
Yongning said respectfully: "What is the Silkworm Goddess? This is obviously not a foreign ghost and god who only relies on the statue of the god and enjoys the incense to strengthen herself!"
At that time, the night classes were supposed to have ended, and the monks in the temple were supposed to turn off the lights and go to bed. However, the lights in the sutra hall were still bright, and the dim yellow light shone through the window paper. Along with it, there was not a burst of laughter from men and women.
"Just, that's it?" Xiao Menyi reacted as soon as he realized it. He was clearly a weak enemy comparable to the devil incarnation just now, but in the blink of an eye he became a common man who could be tolerated.
Through the small and large holes, Yongning took in all the scenes inside - several monks opened their clothes, revealing their bloated torsos, each hugging the beautiful man on the right and left, and took his hand;
Fine wines and delicacies are displayed, and even the cups and dishes used are mostly exquisitely crafted gold and silverware; there are also a few voluptuous barbarian dancers in the hall, dancing under the drums, with the tulle under their bodies following the dance music.
Gradually take it off, full of beauty.
Who dares to blame Zhang Daihua? He signals his entourage to go aside to make the bed, and then goes back and forth to talk:
"He uses a machine bird to communicate with you across the air, but he is actually afraid of going into a well?" Liu Xuantong grabbed me and suddenly became naughty: "I kept saying that I wanted you to take care of me, but now I want to run away? Isn't that kind of bad thing?" p>
Xiao Menyi was particularly shocked when he heard this. What kind of hero is this person who can create Xiao Xia's foundation, but he was once in such a mess?
Zhang Daihua crossed her arms across her chest and leaned against the corner. Yongning dropped to the window sill and carefully pecked open the window paper. Her movements were heavy, meticulous and silent.
The Zhike monk was quite proud and showed no pride at all: "Back then, Taizu personally went to Hebei to quell the rebels. He was once trapped in a siege. Fortunately, he was rescued by the servants of Guangde, the founder of the temple, and he was able to escape. Taizu expressed his gratitude to Guang
I admired him so much that I personally worshiped him as a national teacher and treated him as a disciple. He even wanted to invite me to Luoyang, Chang'an, to teach scriptures. However, my disciple Guangde was greedy for fame and fortune, and only wanted a place in the jungle to live in peace and practice, so Tai Tai
The ancestor issued an edict and ordered the construction of Zhangdai Temple and a farm with a radius of one hundred hectares as a tribute!"
"No matter what this is, the situation outside Muyuan Temple is still the same. It's always wrong to take a look."
"Sir, you have little experience but a lot of knowledge. Could it be that what this knowledgeable monk said is true?"
"Is it possible to hide the treasure?" Zhang Dai asked.
Liu Xuantong showed a helpless smile and answered. I turned the corner and came to a sutra hall.
Xiaomenyi was stunned when he heard this. I had thought that Zhang Daihua had such a temperament. Seeing a dispute about to break out, I quickly stopped to dissuade him: "Oh, how can I do that? I ask the master to be accommodating. You only want a few Zen tenants."
You can just take a rest, but it will definitely disturb the purity of the temple."
"He is so worried about the country and the people, why did he expose those monks?" Yongning retorted.
In front of his eyes, there was only one person in the place. It was solemn and silent. Liu Xuantong bowed deeply, then clasped his fingers and flicked the ball. It was like a vibrating wooden instrument. The sound was difficult for ordinary people to detect, but it did not penetrate the yin and yang and soaked in the wonder of all things.
There was light at the bottom of the well, and it was so white that he could see seven fingers when he stretched out his hand, but Liu Xuantong only blinked slightly and saw clearly what was going on around him.
Zhang Daihua said with a smile: "With the behavior of monk Zhang Dai Temple just now, do we need to hide the treasure in that kind of place?"
The monk Zhike glanced up and weighed the silver collar in his hand. The warm and contemptuous look on his face immediately turned into a respectful and rude look. He put away the silver collar like a magic trick and then clasped his hands and bowed:
"Is that so?" Zhang Daihua was not surprised at all: "No matter how powerful Chu Yufu is, I am still the same person. The battlefield is so small, guarding the city gates, reconnaissance and patrolling, etc., all have to be done by the soldiers at hand. Do you have food and grass?
, how can you lead troops to fight? You also need to eat when you rebel."
"How did Mr. Xiao Wen win in the first place?" Xiao Menyi asked.
"Master, do you know that Mu Yuan Temple has no origin, so how could it be built under the edict of Grandpa Taizu?"
Xiaomenyi also wanted to ask, but the other party walked too slowly, and he also tried to persuade him to stay, just to ask what was going to happen tonight.
While talking, Zhang Daihua walked through the long dark passage and came to an open area. Yongning's eyes emitted light, illuminating the hall-like space behind, and a sarcophagus was placed in the center.
The sound vibrated inside and echoed around everything. All things in the seven weeks were intangible, and they were all observed by Liu Xuantong. Then I raised my eyebrows: "I found it."
Following the guest monk to the side courtyard, he saw that the guest house in the courtyard was vacant. In addition to what he saw along the way, it was said that it could accommodate two to eight hundred guests. Xiao Menyi was secretly shocked by the magnificence of the Buddhist temple.
Youde asked:
Just when I wasn't aware of it, the whole tomb suddenly shook. Liu Xuantong's expression changed, and he turned around to enter, but saw that the entrance to the secret passage he had just passed disappeared out of thin air, and he was in a completely sealed tomb.
"He——" Zhike Monk heard it clearly, turned around and yelled, and immediately started to yell and scold.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, those monks are really enjoying themselves. You see, what we use is much worse than that of the princes and nobles." Yongning exclaimed: "Hebei is really rich. Be careful, a monk temple is not so luxurious." p>
"Wander around carefully and take a look at Mu Yuan Temple. Just take a rest as soon as possible. I don't care about you." Xia Taizu waved his hand and his figure disappeared into the night.
"Back then, you were -" Xia Taizu almost blurted out his personal experience, but quickly changed his words: "Ahem! Back then, Master Xiaowen fought against Chu Yufu, and the fight was shocking and made people cry.
And even places like Buddhist temples and Taoist temples still have no business calculations, and you can't just exit empty-handed. The more grand, small and solemn, the less expensive it is.
