Chapter 223: Big Wild Goose Pagoda
“...... Creak. ”
In a restaurant, at a table on the side of the street,
Lian Ge was eating dinner, and the guinea pig was also on the side, fighting around a disposable lunch box, solving the meals in the lunch box.
It's the time of the meal, and the restaurant is a little lively.
Or the surrounding residents, relatives and friends are gathering and greeting each other.
Or tourists, eating, chatting.
“...... Let's not talk about this, I'll do it first, you are free, the most important thing today is to drink happily!"
“...... After a day of walking, I feel that my legs are about to break, and this time I will never go out to travel again. ”
"Boss, let's have another case of beer, add a dish ......"
Listening to the hustle and bustle in the restaurant, Lian Ge looked outside the restaurant while eating dinner.
The outer wall of the restaurant is glass, and when you look out through the glass, it is a lively street.
On the side of the street, shops are hawking and attracting pedestrians, and the food stalls are overflowing with steaming heat, attracting pedestrians to stop.
Looking across the street, Lian Ge raised his head slightly,
Look behind the street through the gaps in tall and low buildings next to the street.
Just behind this bustling and lively street is the Great Mercy Grace Temple,
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the temple is just a cut above the surrounding buildings, revealing several floors at the top of the tower.
Looking at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Lian Ge paused.
......
"Squeak...... Squeak squeak. ”
The mouse finished the meal in the lunch box and re-climbed onto Lian Ge's shoulder.
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, looked at the mouse squatting on his shoulder, and smiled.
Putting down the chopsticks, Lian Ge stood up again,
......
"Exactly a hundred...... You are welcome to come back next time. ”
After settling the bill, Lian Ge stepped out of the restaurant,
In an instant, one kind of noise was isolated behind the glass door of the restaurant, and another kind of noise followed and filled the ears.
After a slight pause, he glanced at the pedestrians and shops on the side of the street, and retracted his gaze, Lian Ge moved his steps again and walked towards the Big Wild Goose Pagoda behind the street.
......
The entrance of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.
Although the ticket office next to the temple gate has long been closed, there are still many tourists scattered outside the temple gate, or holding mobile phones, taking pictures towards the temple gate, or walking and talking.
Looking at the Great Ci'en Temple in front of him, where only a small door was open, and the monks in the Rong Temple entered and exited, Lian Ge paused slightly.
Tilting his head slightly, his gaze swept over the temple wall and looked towards the temple.
Although it is covered by a wall, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda standing behind the Temple of Mercy and Grace is clearly visible.
The bottom of the tower is square, layer upon layer, constitutes a seven-storey square tower, the body of the tower presents the yellow of bricks and stones, and the tower body facing the line of sight on each floor has an arch open, which can be used for visitors to enter and exit inside and outside.
Looking at the tower, Lian Ge paused slightly,
Under the eye of the sky, there is no difference between the wild goose pagoda and the surrounding buildings, and there is not much spiritual light to be seen, nor can there be any supernatural places.
“...... Dude, you're here to see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda?"
At this moment, a voice sounded beside Lian Ge,
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge turned his head and looked at his side,
This is a monk wearing a yellow monk's robe and carrying two bags of vegetables in his hand.
The monk looked to be in his thirties, and the hair on the top of his head seemed to have not been shaved for a while, and it sprouted again and covered his head.
The person looked a little fat, with some sweat on his face, and he was looking at Lian Ge at the moment,
“...... Dude, if you come to see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but it's a little late, like our temple, it closes at five o'clock in the afternoon. ”
Seeing Lian Ge, the monk turned his gaze and continued,
“...... After the temple gate is closed, tourists will not be able to enter, and they will have to wait until the ticket office opens tomorrow morning before they can enter again. ”
As he spoke, the monk paused, looked at Lian Ge, and asked with concern,
“...... Dude, are you coming to Chang'an for a few days? If you have to leave tomorrow, then you won't be able to see this Big Wild Goose Pagoda. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the monk, couldn't help but smile, and didn't speak.
"Dude, it's not easy to come out for a trip, come to our Chang'an, this famous scenic spot Big Wild Goose Pagoda don't see, isn't it in vain? Seeing that Lian Ge didn't speak, the monk added.
"Can the master take me in?"
Lian Ge looked at the monk and asked with a smile,
"Dude...... Donor, look at my clothes, I am a monk in this temple, it's not easy to bring someone in, you say?" The monk opened his hand carrying the dish and showed the yellow monk's robe on his body.
"Then it's bothering the master?" said Lian Ge with a smile.
“...... Ahem, donor, we also have to take risks when we bring people to the temple, right?" the monk coughed, looked at Lian Ge, and squeezed his eyebrows.
"Want money?" Lian Ge looked at the monk with a smile on his face,
“...... Donor, how can you say that, this is not asking for money, this is called laisee. The monk's face was blank, and his expression became serious, "Donor, since you are here, you must know Master Xuanzang, when Master Xuanzang went to get the true scriptures, didn't you also want to get the true scriptures, did you get the true scriptures?
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the monk, and then at the statue of Xuanzang erected by the temple gate, and couldn't help but smile again.
"Dude?" the monk looked at Lian Ge and turned his gaze away, and shouted again,
“...... Dude, do you want to go in? If you want to go in, I can take you in right now, as long as you have a little profit, it's five hundred. ”
The monk looked at Lian Ge and said,
"Behold, when thou comeest in the day, thou shalt receive forty when thou enter the gate, and thou shalt receive another twenty-five when thou ascends the tower. Now that I have taken such a big risk, I will only charge you five hundred when I take you in at this time.
Moreover, at night, there are no other tourists in the temple, not as crowded as during the day, after I bring you in, you can play in the tower as much as you want, this is a charter, isn't it much more cost-effective?"
As he spoke, the monk came closer, gritted his teeth, and added,
“...... Dude, if you add another five hundred. You know that there are Buddha relics in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, if you add another 500, you will be allowed to touch the relics...... This is a true Buddha relic, Shakyamuni's ......"
"Do you want to go in?" the monk looked at Lian Ge and asked again,
"Alipay, WeChat, or cash is fine, if you want to go in, we will leave now. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the monk and shook his head with a smile.
“...... Dude, you can think clearly, you came to Chang'an here, and you didn't enter the Great Ci'en Temple to take a look at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but it's a pity, and the next time you come again, you may not be able to meet me. ”
"No need, I've seen the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and I've seen this temple. Glancing at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the temple and then at the monk, Lian Ge couldn't help but smile again.
Hearing this, the monk looked at the temple next to him, and then looked at Lian Ge,
"Dude, you don't want to go in, you said it earlier, don't you delay my work......"
As he spoke, the monk walked away and walked towards the entrance of the monastery, where a couple was taking pictures.
“...... Amitabha, are the two donors here to play in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda?"
......
Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the monk and the couple,
It seems that under the persuasion of the monk, the couple was a little moved, took out their mobile phones, and scanned the monk's mobile phone.
Then he was led by the monk and walked in through the small door of the monastery.
Looking at this scene, Lian Ge smiled slightly.
retracted his gaze, and then looked at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the temple and the statue of Xuanzang outside the temple.
Lian Ge turned around and walked into the distance.
