Several people rested in the pavilion for a while, of course, the main person who rested was Shen Wen, he was too fat.

Chen Zheng was a little unbearable, and said, "If Lord Shen is unwell, there is no need to work for us." ”

After Shen Wen heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "It is also one of my jobs to lead the envoy to visit Honglu Temple, how can I give up halfway?" ”

"Just leave this kind of thing to the little officials to do, but you are a temple, why do you have to guide it yourself?" Li Shuang also persuaded.

Shen Wen also insisted, and said: "You don't need to persuade again, this is a matter within the official's duty." Besides, with the crutches given by Master Chen, I didn't feel tired when I walked. ”

After speaking, in order to prove that what he said was true, Shen Wen immediately stood up and led everyone out.

Seeing this, the others couldn't hold on any longer, so they had to follow him out of the pavilion.

Shen Wen was very interested, and it could be seen that he really liked Honglu Temple, where every flower and grass, one corridor and one column, Shen Wen could tell one or two stories.

"Eh, you don't think our Honglu Temple is really a temple, do you?" Shen Wen asked a little playfully.

Chen Zheng guessed in his heart that since the other party asked like this, he must be tired, otherwise, it would be too second.

Shi Fanbo, the governor of Hongjiang Prefecture, hurriedly replied: "Naturally not, although it is called a temple, everyone knows that this is not a temple." ”

Sure enough, after Fan Bo finished speaking, Shen Wen laughed and said, "Fei Ye, Fei Ye!" ”

Fan Bo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it really a temple?" ”

After Shen Wen had laughed enough, he said, "Actually, there is really a temple in this Honglu Temple, but not many people know about it. ”

Fan Bo's face turned red, and he smiled wryly, but he secretly slandered in his heart, how could he have thought that he was so untouched.

"Since you have talked about the temple, why don't you take you to see it?" Shen Wen said.

Chen Zheng and the others hurriedly responded: "Then it's time for the adults to lead the way." ”

Shen Wen took them, bypassed a few paths, and saw a small temple sitting in front of them.

The temple is not large, and the façade is not wide, but at a glance, you can see the smoke rising inside.

After approaching, Chen Zheng looked up and saw that the three words "Tongtai Temple" were written on the plaque in the center.

The font is simple and heavy, it is written by a famous artist, and it has always conveyed to people that this temple is not ordinary.

Shen Wen led everyone into the temple, and there was an incense tripod in front of them, and the incense was strong inside.

Chen Zheng didn't have any religious beliefs, but Li Shuang, Fan Bo, and Lu Desheng were busy making incense.

Seeing this situation, Chen Zheng had no choice but to buy a pillar of high incense, light it, and insert it into the incense tripod.

After the incense, Chen Zheng felt a little painful, this incense is really not cheap.

A pillar of high incense costs 100 Wen, you must know that a penny can buy two steamed buns in Dongyang County!

And this thing can't be bargained yet, whether you like to buy it or not, it seems that you still open a temple to make money.

The incense has been lit, and it can't be returned, not to mention that they are all religiously entering the incense, and if they don't care about their own faces, they are a little too maverick.

After visiting several halls, Chen Zheng didn't think there was anything special here, and the Buddha statues were similar to other places.

The monks in the temple didn't know Chen Zheng and them, but they knew Shen Wen, and when they saw them wandering here, they didn't come up to stop them.

Of course, Chen Zheng thinks the main reason is that they spend money.

In the words of their monks, their current status is pilgrims, so naturally they can't be coaxed out.

"Over here, there's a floating tower here." Shen Wen led everyone around the main hall and came to the back.

Sure enough, there is a stupa behind the main hall, which is not very high, it should only have seven floors, hidden behind the main hall, and due to the problem of angle, it is not visible from the front of the temple.

The tower door is open, and you can see the decoration inside at a glance.

There is also a statue of Buddha inside, and next to the statue there is a figure holding a pen, as if recording something.

Li Shuang was very interested when he saw it, and said, "Does this Buddha also need a scribe?" ”

Lu Desheng next to him heard this, knowing that Li Shuang was joking with him, and he didn't want to refute it, but he just laughed.

After Shen Wen listened, he became interested and asked, "Who of you knows, who is holding this pen?" ”

Li Shuang and Lu Desheng naturally didn't know, and Fan Bo also frowned and shook his head.

Chen Zheng remembered that he had read a book called "Temple Structure and the Examination of the Placement of Buddhas", which seemed to mention this, but he couldn't remember it clearly.

Shen Wen was very satisfied with their reaction, so he spoke: "This is the corpse of Sharjah, which is dedicated to recording people's crimes. ”

Hearing Shen Wen say this, Chen Zheng remembered and said, "It turned out to be a corpse." ”

Shen Wen was stunned, the corpse is a transliteration of Sanskrit, and the popular name is the corpse, he didn't expect Chen Zheng to know.

"Master Chen turned out to be also erudite and talented, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Shen Wen said.

Chen Zheng hurriedly responded: "I just happen to know it below, it's nothing." ”

Originally, Shen Wen wanted to take them up to the tower to have a look, but Chen Zheng considered that his size was a little inappropriate, so he politely refused.

A few people walked outside, but suddenly heard a noise.

This is an important place for Buddhism, even if you come to play, you are all soft-spoken, who dares to make noise here?

Shen Wen quickened his pace and walked around the front of the hall again, but suddenly stopped.

Chen Zheng and the four of them also hurriedly chased after them, only to see more than a dozen people crowded in at the gate of the temple.

Some of them wore the official uniforms of the Liang Kingdom, and others were also uniforms, but Chen Zheng had not seen them.

I saw that after these people came into the temple, they pointed at each hall and each room, very casually.

However, the monks in the temple were not dissatisfied, and even two great monks went to greet them in person.

Looking at Shen Wen's face again, it was a little unnatural, as if he was reluctant to step forward.

"Lord Shen, who are these people?" Chen Zheng asked.

Shen Wen snorted lightly and said, "This group of people is the envoy group of the Song Kingdom, which is really insulting. ”

"The people who accompanied them are also from Honglu Temple?" Chen Zheng asked.

Shen Wen nodded and said, "Look at the two people in front, the one on the left is Honglu Temple Qing He Ji, and the one on the right is Honglu Temple Shaoqing Wang Ke, I didn't expect that the row of Song envoys is really big." ”

It's no wonder that Shen Wen complained, the first and second leaders of Honglu Temple all went to receive them in person, and the specifications were indeed very high.

Immediately, the envoy group also began to worship the Buddha, after all, most people still have to worship the Buddha when they enter the temple.

However, Chen Zheng found out that when the envoys of the Song Kingdom entered the incense, they did not spend their own money.

An official from Honglu Temple went to talk to the monk in charge of selling incense, and after making a few notes in an account book, he began to divide the incense.

Shen Wen naturally saw it, turned his eyes to look at Chen Zheng, and said with some embarrassment: "The reception expenses of Honglu Temple can be reimbursed, but the official forgot about it just now." ”

Chen Zheng was a little speechless, daring to feel that his 100 dollars were spent in vain.
