June passed with Fang Zheng and others looking forward to it, and the Drum Tower was finally completed! When the last tile fell, Master Ma shouted loudly, and all the workers and masters present heard the news and came to join in the fun.
The villagers cheered at the same time. Each one shouted excitedly...
"It's a pity that the master won't let me donate a drum, otherwise the drum tower would be complete." Monkey sighed.
The fat man said: "Okay, I didn't donate the clock either. The master said he had prepared one himself. I asked, and it was said that it was not big and was even broken. Hey... Do you think that kind of broken clock can be replaced?
I'll make him a bigger one, how nice it would be..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled sound, like the creaking of trees after bearing weight. Everyone looked back subconsciously and saw a big bell hanging on the bell tower at some point!
When the fat man saw this big clock, his eyes almost popped out of his head!
The monkey was also shocked, but he still did not forget to joke: "Fat man, you said this clock is not big? Haha, it is quite broken? Tell me, where have you seen one bigger than this! One more beautiful than this
! Damn it, this clock makes me want to rob it!"
"My mother, no wonder the master doesn't let me donate the clock. He actually has such a big treasure! Tsk, tsk, how domineering!" said the fat man.
"It's really domineering. Now I finally understand why the master didn't let me donate the drum. The Bell Tower and Drum Tower have the same specifications, but the drums with the same specifications as this bell... I may not be able to get it even if I lose all my money." Although the monkey and the fat man spoke savagely,
But they are all people who have seen the world. They have seen the national treasure Yongle Bell, which is more than six meters high and priceless. It is said to be priceless!
The big bell in front of me exudes an ancient charm. It looks like an old object at first glance. It is not even younger than the Yongle Bell. The bell is bigger and has more scriptures on it. However, every word can be read clearly.
Under the sun, it does not exude the bronze color of the Yongle Bell, but it is like being poured out of gold, exuding golden light! It is bright but not luxurious, domineering but not overbearing, beautiful but embodies the weight of history!
Such a big clock, the two of them asked themselves, no one could take it out!
Master Ma and other craftsmen were shocked when they saw this big bell. They were all craftsmen, so they could naturally see the preciousness of this big bell. They looked up at it as if they were looking at rare treasures. In the end, Master Ma even knelt down.
After getting off, he kowtowed three times and said: "What a master craftsman!"
"Holy product!" Luo Yang and others bowed down one after another.
The villagers didn't understand what they were worshiping, but they could also tell that this bell was really extraordinary!
Wang Yougui and Tan Juguo frowned, especially Tan Juguo, who knew nothing about what was in the Yizhi Temple, because he was present when the Yizhi Temple was assigned to the Yizhi Zen Master! The Yizhi Temple was originally
There is a broken temple with a broken bell. It can no longer be broken. It cracked within half a year of ringing... So where did this big bell in front of me come from? Think carefully about this magical thing on the mountain.
, there are really a lot of unexplainable things... However, Tan Juguo and Wang Yougui didn't say anything, because after Fang Zheng renovated Yizhi Temple silently and took out the god-like crystal rice, they
They knew what had happened in this temple. But they all chose to remain silent. As soon as they found out that Fang was from their village, he was a family member, half a child of the villagers, and half a child of them. They thought
Protect him. Secondly, they are also full of expectations, hoping that this miraculous temple can bring something to this poor village.
In fact, they got everything they wanted. Fangzheng went farther and farther, and went higher and higher, and what he did satisfied them; and the village also benefited from the glory of Yizhi Temple, and many troubles disappeared and became more.
On the road to getting rich, everything is getting better.
So the two of them looked at each other and chose silence. They continued to say nothing and silently guarded these secrets and Fang Zheng.
Not only were everyone in a daze and excitement, but Fang Zheng was also about the same. After two months, the big bell was finally hung! And what surprised Fang Zheng was that there was not only a bell, but also a hammer for striking the bell, one for each person.
Thick logs, wrapped with red ropes on the front and back, hot gold, like the legendary golden hoop!
Fang Zheng gently stroked the heavy hammer, his eyes full of joy. With this, in the future, although this finger temple cannot do the morning bells and evening drums, it can at least half of it.
"Master Fangzheng, this clock sounds great! Ring it!" The fat man shouted first. Although the clock had nothing to do with him, he donated the bell tower. Seeing that awesome big clock, he
He also followed Yu Yourongyan, who was most looking forward to the feeling of ringing.
"Yes, Master Fangzheng, knock one!" Song Ergou shouted.
"Master, knock it and listen." Master Ma and others also shouted excitedly. They also wanted to hear whether this seemingly extraordinary bell is really that extraordinary! Master Ma muttered: "Historical records say,
The Yongle Bell is 6.75 meters high. The thickness of the bell wall varies, with the thickest part being 185 mm and the thinnest part being 94 mm. It weighs about 46 tons. There are scriptures cast all over the inside and outside of the bell, with a total of 227,000 characters. It can ring for one minute if struck lightly.
It can ring for three minutes when struck hard, and the sound can go around the beam for dozens of miles! This is the largest bell in the world! Although there is a bigger bell in E country, weighing two hundred tons, due to technical problems, there was no sound on the day it was cast.
A big crack that cannot be rung cannot be called a bell..."
"Master Ma, why are you muttering about this?" Luo Yang asked.
Master Ma said with great excitement: "We may witness a miracle, and the largest bell in the world will be rung... What do you think I am muttering about?"
Luo Yang was stunned for a moment. Miracle? The largest clock in the world? At that moment, his blood also boiled...
"Witness the miracle!" a craftsman shouted, followed by others, and the shouts were loud for a while.
Fang Zheng clasped his hands together, bowed to everyone, and pronounced a Buddha's name: "Amitabha, as all the donors wish, the poor monk will ring the Buddha bell now."
After saying that, Fang Zheng recited a Buddha's name to the Yongle Bell, then he held the huge hammer with both hands and pulled it back with all his strength. Only then did Fang Zheng realize that the hammer was extremely heavy! Even with his strength, he had to use it with all his strength.
Only then can the weight be dragged!
"Good fellow, if it were an ordinary person, how could he ring the bell if he couldn't even drag the heavy hammer?" Fang Zheng sighed in his heart and at the same time, he shouted loudly and suddenly exerted force, pushing the heavy hammer to hit the Yongle Bell!
At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the hammer, looking forward to the sound of the bell!
Boom!
A bell sounded with incomparable clarity. It was not high-pitched or deafening. Everyone heard it clearly. The sound seemed to fall from the nine heavens, like rain from the sky, falling on the soul, and the troubles in the heart were instantly wiped out.
Once it was all gone, the whole person fell into a state of emptiness. Many things that were usually difficult to figure out or understand were suddenly figured out at this moment. Their thoughts were clear, their body and mind were happy, and everyone's face was full of joy.
