At this time, Li Shimin led a group of ministers to cross the gate and come to the Daxiong Treasure Hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The abbot said next to him, "Your Majesty, this is the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which enshrines the three generations of Rulai, and when we go in, we will light an ever-bright lantern first." ”

"Oh" Li Shimin looked at the golden Buddha statue and asked, "I don't know what the material of the Buddha statue is?" It's very golden. ”

The abbot smiled and said, "People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold, and the Buddha statue is coated with a layer of gold dust, so it is so bright." ”

Li Shimin asked unhappily: "I don't know how much gold was used." ”

The abbot didn't seem to hear Li Shimin's words, maybe it was too noisy here, he said: "It's not much, it's all the sesame oil money offered by good people, gathered here." ”

Li Shimin looked at the huge Buddha statue and asked with a sigh: "I see a lot." ’

"Not much, really not much." The abbot explained: "It's just a few dozen taels. ”

"Is it so little" Li Shimin glanced at him and said, "I can't see it." ”

The abbot smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, it is not really gold, but copper powder." ’

So that's the case, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Oh, I thought it was gold." ”

He glanced at the Buddha statue again and said, "I wonder when the land and water conference will start?" ”

At this time, as Li Shimin came in, the children of the Tang Dynasty Mansion also followed, and after they searched the side, they found that there was no danger and retreated directly.

"Now start now," the abbot said loudly, "light the lamp." ”

The little monks immediately took out the folds and lit up the 4,800 oil lamps enshrined around the Buddha statue.

When the lights were turned on, the Buddha statue shot out a thousand rays of light, and the eyes of the people who pierced them couldn't open them.

When Cheng Chao saw this, he immediately stepped forward to block the emperor's side, just in case.

After a while, their eyes gradually adjusted, and they realized that all around them were golden bronze figures, and under the illumination of the light, the copper light was shining.

Li Shimin looked at those Buddha statues and sighed: "It's really majestic." ”

At this time, the abbot shouted: "The Dharma Realm Saint Fan Water and Land Pudu Great Lent Victory Meeting has begun. ”

When the abbot announced the beginning, a group of monks stood up, came to the outside of the main hall, surrounded the gate, and shouted, "Seal the seal." ”

A light hung over the door, blocking the others from entering.

Cheng Chao and a few people were observing them inside, and the seal was just an ordinary seal, which could be broken at will.

At this time, the monks who had been waiting outside the gate immediately dispersed, and the crowd outside the gate began to slowly walk in.

When they entered the temple, there were monks who constantly guided them to the other seven branch venues, and some of them kept chanting sutras on the high platform that had been set up.

After the crowd walked in, they all quietly obeyed the monks' arrangements and went to the venue where they wanted to go.

When Cheng Chao saw this, he shook his head and said, "Faith is really terrible. ”

At this time, the next steps in the temple also began.

The abbot came to Li Shimin's side and said, "Your Majesty, please purify yourself." ’

Li Shimin followed the abbot to the Buddha statue, and the abbot picked up the grapefruit leaves on the altar, ordered some water on the plate, and said, "Wash your body of dust debts"

The abbot's hand shook, and the water on the grapefruit leaf was sprinkled, directly drenching Li Shimin's body, and the abbot continued: "It's a matter of body and mind. ”

After each minister came to wash one side, the abbot continued: "My emperor still has immeasurable merits in offering one Buddha, one monk in fasting, one poor in charity, and one good persuasion, not to mention the universal offering of the Three Treasures of the Ten Directions and the Six Realms of Ten Thousand Spirits, not only self-benefit, but also the Three Realms, and the Nine Clans."

"Knock, knock, knock" three bells cut off.

The other seven chapels immediately began to chant continuously.

People in the distance also began to chant Buddhist scriptures constantly.

And inside the main hall, the abbot continued: "...... When people's karma is eliminated, the obstacles are blessed, the first death is born in the Pure Land, everything is unsatisfactory, and the past calamities and grievances are fulfilled, the Dharma realm contains knowledge, and the three treasures are blessed with the light, and the Bodhi fate is formed. ”

After the abbot finished speaking, a little monk shouted, "People from all walks of life are invited to enter the venue." ”

At this time, the monks who had originally sealed the seal all retreated, and the Taoist Confucian scholars invited from all over slowly stepped into the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

When they came in, they saw the huge golden Buddha and shouted angrily: "How many people have harvested the fat and ointment of the people, and they have built such a big golden Buddha." ”

Elder Kongming stood up and said, "The donor is not a golden Buddha, but a bronze Buddha. ’

"Hmph, the bronze Buddha also has a lot of money, let's go and meet them."

Elder Kongming led them to the side hall and said, "We need to purify ourselves before we can go to the Buddha again." ”

At this time, a Confucian scholar smiled and said, 'We don't visit the Buddha or worship the Buddha, so why do we have to go through your purification?' ’

Another Taoist said, 'Hehe, we only participate in the Great Dao, do you have the Great Dao?' ’

In the main hall, the abbot waited for a while, and when he found that no one had come in, he couldn't help but whisper, 'Go and see, what's going on.' ’

Master Kongdu immediately came to the side hall and found that they were arguing, so he grabbed a little monk and asked, "What happened?" ”

The little monk told everything about it, and Master Kongdu shook his head and said, "What's so noisy about these things, it's better to go inside and debate it." ”

He walked in front of everyone, folded his hands and said, "Everyone, there is no point in us arguing here, why don't we go in and debate inside, and we will know who wins and loses at that time." ”

Elder Kong Ming stopped: "Senior brother, they went in before they were clean, that is disrespectful to the Buddha." ”

Master Kongdu looked at him and said, "Then what do you think should be done?" ”

"Let them be clean."

"What if they don't keep their bodies clean?"

"This...

"Okay, okay, there are some things that don't need to be so strict, let's go in."

He opened his left hand and made a gesture of please.

Everyone laughed and said, 'It's still a master, not like some people, so let's go in and debate and see who loses.' ’

They rushed into the main hall, and the monks outside the hall sealed the door of the hall.

At this time, Zhiwei and the others rushed to the outside of the main hall and found that the inside had been sealed.

He immediately said to the monk: 'Get out of the way, let us in, we have an urgent matter.' ’

The monk shook his head and said, "The puja has begun, and no one is allowed to enter except for those who are invited." ”

"Get out of the way, we're really in a hurry," the Swift Girl said.

The monk shook his head and said, "The woman can't go in." ’

Zhiwei pulled out a big knife and said, "Don't talk nonsense with them, don't blame us if you don't leave." ”

The monk also took out his long stick and said, 'Little donor, don't blame us if you don't leave.' ’

Zhiwei took the knife in his backhand and said, 'Get out of here.' ’

A knife swept past.

The monks raised their sticks to greet them

"Phew."
