Chapter 244 Descend the mountain into the red dust
The two hundred and forty-fourth
Qin Ying successively prayed for the crown prince in the palace, and spent the soul of the former dynasty in the Yuanqiu, and the righteous deeds of energy were passed on by word of mouth, and were widely spread in the streets, and Qin Ying became famous for a while.
The legend of his deeds can almost be compared with the old Taoist people like the Xuandu Guanzhu.
Countless people heard the wind and rushed to Xihuaguan not far away, trying to meet Qin Ying and get a glimpse of the true face of this Taoist who can sacrifice and pray for blessings.
At first, she was kind enough to go to see them one by one, but those pilgrims who came here either wanted Qin Ying to tell them good fortunes or bad fortunes, or asked Qin Ying to show them good fortune and misfortune. Later, Qin Ying was so annoyed that he couldn't get rid of everything, and just threatened that he would appear at the monthly rituals.
As soon as these words came out, the number of people who watched the Dharma ceremony of Xihuaguan was unprecedented.
Xihuaguan rose to fame with Qin Ying. In addition, the incense and candles of Xihuaguan are all free to obtain, and there are more pilgrims who come to the door every day. Although the location of Xihuaguan is not too close to Suzaku Street, there is Qin Ying, a big tree of fortune, and the feng shui has changed abruptly.
At first, the Taoists respected Qin Ying as the master of Xihua on the surface, but in their hearts they easily spurned Qin Ying's strict and rigid control. However, when Qin Ying used her appeal to extend the incense of the entire Taoist temple, the Taoists no longer rejected her so much.
Of course, Qin Ying doesn't care what the people below think of him. What can she do if she is spurned, anyway, she can't do without a piece of meat.
Qin Ying's high reputation in the market was just like the sky, and even alarmed other Taoist masters in Chang'an City.
There is a Tianxuandu Guan Lord and the disciples of the disciple who talked about Qin Ying, who had been here for half a year in the past, and stroked his beard and sighed. I remember that when he first saw Qin Ying, he saw that her seal hall was bright and her future was limitless. Looking at it now, it is really a success.
In the end, the Xuandu Guan Lord sighed that Qin Ying did not rely on luck, but real talent. He was not convinced by the disciples under his seat, so he said earnestly:
"You only think that Qin Ying's luck is excellent, but you don't think of anything else. Let's ask if His Majesty summoned Qin Ying to the palace to pray for the sick prince during the Qingming Festival this year, if the name of the edict is replaced by any of you, do you have the courage to enter the palace alone to answer the call? If you really want to take the risk, but you must think clearly in advance, if you can't succeed in praying for the prince, you will go to the palace and never return.
Qin Ying stayed in the palace for more than two months, and it was precisely because of the prince's illness that it was difficult to recover. The so-called greater the risk, the greater the gain, Qin Ying came out of the palace, and His Majesty rewarded her with a Taoist temple, as well as hundreds of treasures for the purpose of regulating the dojo. If Qin Ying's fortune really falls on you, it is still a question of how many days you can live in the palace, not to mention taking His Majesty's reward and leaving the palace. ”
The disciples looked at each other, and they no longer dared to say a word to Qin Ying.
At this time, Qin Ying was sitting cross-legged in the backyard wing of Xihuaguan looking at the collection of medical books, and suddenly sneezed a few times. Rubbing her nose with a handkerchief, she sat upright, leaned back against the wall with her eyes closed, and thought about the prescription she had just read.
When Qin Ying took advantage of the moment before the meal to memorize some things, the board in front of the dining hall rang. Qin Ying put on her shoes and walked out of the wing, and walked under the corridor with her head held high, and the Taoists she met by chance all saluted her respectfully. Qin Ying's vanity and flashiness swelled slightly, but it was fleeting.
Although the incense candles of Xihuaguan did not charge a penny, Qin Ying was still rich and wealthy, and made a plan to build the Taiyi Palace, and it didn't take long for him to start spending money on it.
In the afternoon, she entered the palace and went to the Hanlin Academy to meet the master and asked him to design the pattern of the front side of the Taiyi Palace. The fate of the master in Qin Ying and his past had a comradeship, without saying a word, he used three moments of time to make two neat picture scrolls, Qin Ying took out the five taels of silver prepared in his sleeve, the fate of the master shook his head and confiscated, only said that this is a gift to congratulate Qin Ying on the promotion of the five products of the Lord.
Qin Ying laughed wryly. She thanked her and lifted the scroll in her arm. I don't know how I feel like I'm entrusting someone to do things, and the end is a little sloppy.
After leaving the palace, she personally went to the relevant civil engineering shop in the West Market and asked a professional craftsman to see if the pattern was feasible.
Qin Ying didn't know much about the construction of civil engineering, and he had heard some details in his previous life. So when she asked for advice, her tone was very modest and regular.
The craftsmen are all lay people who don't believe in Buddhism, and they don't know the word Qin Ying at all. Even if the market blows her fame to the sky, she can't fight with her own livelihood. Therefore, the craftsman will not look up to Qin Ying in particular.
However, Qin Ying took the lead in putting on such a posture, and they were willing to say a few more words to her.
They said that civil construction is not only related to the drawing, but also depends on the actual situation, such as how much the empty space in the backyard of Xihuaguan is round, and whether the soil quality of the open space is suitable. After surveying and exploring, the pile can be set and the foundation can be established. Otherwise, no matter how well the pavilions and pavilions on this pattern are drawn, they are all dreams.
When Qin Ying heard this, he knew that they all had rich construction experience, so Shi Li bowed again and said that he might as well go to the field to see each other today. The craftsmen deliberated for a while and agreed. Send four people to follow Qin Ying's car to Xihuaguan.
On the other side of the Hongfu Temple, because the rapid growth of the Xihua Temple is too ostentatious, the master of the temple in Chang'an City is generally unable to see, this afternoon several abbots gathered there for a meeting. Tanzo was also involved.
They unanimously agreed on what should be done to contain Qin Ying. Tanzang had seen Qin Ying in the past, and there was a temple master who asked him for advice. Master Tanzang thought for a long time and said, maybe he could let Ruqi go down the mountain again.
No one knew who Ruqi was. Tanzang Shidao, the seven of the Pure Industry Temple of Zhongnan Mountain is Qin Ying's weakness, and it can be used.
The temple masters listened to Tanzang's words and asked Tanzang to try to contact Ruqi.
After two or three days, Ruqi received a silk letter from the Tanzang Master. The newly built Puguang Temple on the road above is understaffed, and I hope he will come over to help.
Dao Xuanshi read it again and was noncommittal, only saying that if Ruqi went down the mountain, one foot would be equivalent to stepping into the red dust.
Ruqi didn't reply immediately, thought about it for two days to no avail, and took advantage of going to Longtian Temple to talk to Master Falin instead of Daoxuan, asking how to choose.
Master Fa Lin didn't talk about anything else, but only told him about the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism in Chang'an City today. At the beginning of the year, His Majesty sent a holy message. It is said that monks and nuns have always been ranked after the crown. The position of the great temple in Chang'an City is a little sharper. Each time the rituals are secretly competing with each other.
Now Qin Ying is not only the lord of Xihua, but also ranks in the court with the capital of Fang Wai, and worships the official from the ancestral hall on the five grades.
She is alone in the court, maybe others will follow her example and cling to the powerful to roll in Vanity Fair.
The situation in Chang'an City is so bad, how do you choose?
Ruqi scratched his head and was silent for a while, and finally said, it is easy to practice in a quiet place, but it is difficult to practice in a noisy place - the little monk is willing to go against the current and the wind. After he came to Chang'an City, he was enshrined as the first monk of Puguang Temple in less than two months.
Each Taoist temple will be supervised by Honglu Temple, and the personnel changes must be reported to Honglu Temple, and only with the permission of Honglu Temple. Honglu Siqing had previously recorded that Ruqi entered the palace to receive the Bodhisattva vows for the crown prince. At this time, it was extremely smooth to memorize his name.
Ruqi originally wanted to resign but didn't accept it. However, Master Tanzang and several temple masters vigorously recommended him to be the head of a temple. They persuaded the Puguang Temple to be newly established, and all personnel should be started from scratch. For example, Qi can slowly learn to deal with various monk affairs in this high position.
