Chapter 1179: In the Chongsheng Temple, the Tower of Qianxun
Chapter 1179: Qianxun Tower in Chongsheng Temple
Just as he was talking, a maid came in.
"Miss Li'er, your Excellency asked us to prepare some things, and said that the young lady's brother would take them away!"
"ah!"
Li'er was stunned, "What?"
The maid waved her hand behind her, and then several servants walked in!
"This is food just prepared by the kitchen! Your Excellency is afraid that the young lady's brother will not have time to eat here, so you have prepared it in advance! These are some tea leaves and cloths that were sent by Dali Prime Minister before! Your Excellency said that they are not needed, so let me
The young lady’s brother brought these back to the clan..."
The six boys had their hands full of various things scattered here and there.
"In addition, your Excellency has given orders to General Xin! Whenever the young lady's brother wants to leave the city, the personal guards will escort him out directly!"
Li'er was extremely happy when she heard this! If my elder brother values his elder brother so much, doesn't that mean he values himself?
Although these bits and pieces are useless, none of them are priceless treasures sent by the Prime Minister! Even if my brother and the others go back and forth to the imperial capital ten times, the money they earn is less than 10% of these things.
After hearing the words of these maids, Puyelao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes changed slightly, but he soon returned to normal.
"Li'er, these things are worth a lot of money at first glance. It's inappropriate for adults to waste them like this!"
"Brother, don't worry. Since I told you to bring it with me, I will bring it with you! Brother, there is no shortage of these things here!"
Li'er said with a bit of pride. As she spoke, her eyes moved... No big deal... I'll make it up to my brother when I get back.
After refusing, Puyelao still couldn't resist Li'er, so he could only take these things and leave Wuhua Building under the escort of his personal guards!
"Miss, these things..."
"I'll just take it back!"
The things Puyelao brought were exactly what Long Li'er used to 'bribe' Murong Yu! This time, I had invested so much money, so I guess my sister wouldn't blame me...
Thinking in her mind, Li'er picked up the package and headed up to the attic.
"Brother is gone?"
When Shen Tang saw Li'er coming back, he asked with a smile! He could feel that Puyelao was extremely uncomfortable with him around, and he probably wouldn't eat here, so he had already made arrangements.
"Thank you, brother, for letting me bring so many precious things back. The clan will definitely be very happy."
Li'er said happily.
Shen Tang stepped forward and took Li'er's jade hand, "I have already obtained the most beautiful Soma flowers in Puma. What are those things worth?"
Even if I pay a hundred times, it’s still not as good as Li’er’s chance!”
Murong Yu on the side gritted his teeth bitterly, these two people simply regarded themselves as air.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Murong Yu stared at the two people and coughed vigorously.
Li'er was startled and quickly took out her hand, then hugged Murong Yu, "Sister, I asked my brother to bring the things you asked for before! These are all my sister's!"
When Murong Yu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "Really?
Take it out quickly and let me see!"
Li'er gave Shen Tang an apologetic look, and then opened the package! As expected, it contained various exquisite items that Murong Yu had 'squeezed' from Li'er.
Shen Tang smiled, turned around and walked out of the room, leaving the two girls laughing and playing around in the room!
Shen Tang had already done what he had to do, so he relaxed instead.
What Shen Tang said to Gao Liangcheng before was both a threat and a fact.
If Dali didn't agree, Shen Tang wouldn't force it. Anyway, the Sui coins had been negotiated, and there would be plenty of opportunities when the subject matter was freed up.
Therefore, while there was a fierce debate in the Dali court, Shen Tang and his party all calmed down.
In fact, Li Duo and others have already begun to stroll through the market, buying some Dali specialties, waiting for Shen Tang's order to return at any time.
About a thousand steps north from the imperial city, three tall towers stand! Here are the three towers of Chongsheng Temple when it was built in the Nanzhao Kingdom! Opposite Chongsheng Temple is the ancestral temple of the Duan family in Dali!
A long procession of ceremonial guards returned from the ancestral temple. National events include sacrifices and wars. Recently, Dali has been in constant turmoil, so Duan Zhengxing was worried and came to the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors and pray for their blessings.
After the worship, the long ceremonial guard had retreated, but there was a small sedan heading towards the Chongsheng Temple opposite.
When we arrived at the mountain gate, there were two words "Buddha City" on the plaque! Whether in the Nanzhao period or in Dali today, Buddhism was extremely prosperous. In fact, the royal family used Buddhism to govern the country, which made Dali known as the "Land of Wonderful Fragrance".
The emperors of Dali seemed to be good at practicing magic and hated the throne. Therefore, many emperors of Dali abdicated directly and became a monk. This has almost become a tradition in Dali.
Of course, there are many reasons for becoming a monk! For example, internal instability, Gao's dictatorship, etc.
However, it is enough to see the prosperity and importance of Buddhism in Dali.
The people of Dali respect Guanyin Bodhisattva the most, so the ‘holy’ in Chongsheng Temple represents Guanyin Bodhisattva!
After the attendant of the sedan chair knocked on the door, after waiting for a moment, a young novice monk came to greet him!
"Ah, little monk, see Your Majesty!"
Seeing the man in dragon robe coming down from the sedan chair, the young novice monk hurriedly saluted respectfully!
"No need to be polite, I want to see Master Guanghong, and I also want my little master to lead the way!"
This person is none other than Emperor Duan Zhengxing, who has just finished the priesthood at the ancestral temple.
"Your Majesty, please!"
The young monk hurriedly called for someone to open the mountain gate, and then led Duan Zhengxing through the halls and toward the tall tower in the middle.
This Chongsheng Temple is very large, with each temple far apart from each other, and there is an extremely wide square in front of the main hall!
The reason for setting it up like this is naturally deliberate.
Once a war breaks out, this place can become the last place of resistance for the royal family. There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers stationed nearby. They can rely on these halls and the mountains to fight against each other, which is enough to buy enough time.
Duan Zhengxing was not riding in a sedan chair, but was walking with the young novice monk! After walking for about half an hour, he finally arrived in front of the tallest white pagoda.
The entire main pagoda has sixteen floors and is more than twenty feet high! The body of the pagoda is white! There are open scroll niches in the center of the front and back of each floor, and there are white marble Buddha statues placed there.
There are small windows on the other two sides to let in light.
In addition, Buddhist treasures such as auspicious clouds, lotus flowers, and treasure bottles are carved outside the pagoda for decoration.
There is a golden plaque hanging above the pagoda door, which reads "Dharma Realm Psychic Mingdao Chengdu Pagoda", and because this tower is extremely high, it is also called Qianxun Pagoda.
Young novice monks on both sides stepped forward to salute, and then opened the pagoda door!
In the middle of the main hall is a standing statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva!
After Duan Zhengxing stepped forward to pay homage, he followed the young novice up the wooden stairs.
