Chapter 58 The road is narrow

Since Baguio became pregnant with a child, in addition to making some clothes and shoes for the child, she often went to the temple to pray for blessings. There are many temples in Chang'an City, not to mention the Great Ci'en Temple where Master Xuanzang stored the scriptures in the first dynasty, the Ximing Temple in Yankang Fang, the Daxingshan Temple opposite the Xuandu Temple, as well as the Recommendation Temple, Qinglong Temple, etc.

There is a Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the Great Ci'en Temple, and the Xuanzang Hall where the true body relics of Master Xuanzang are stored.

Master Xuanzang passed away in Yuhua Temple, and the relics were stored in the Great Ci'en Temple for the world to pay respects.

"Husband, wait here for a while, Baguio will come out immediately." There is a huge bronze statue of Sakyamuni in the hall of the Daxiong Treasure Hall of the Great Cien Temple, and the golden light in the hall can be seen from afar. There are many pilgrims here, and Guo Li is afraid that something will happen to Baguio, so he asks Chunshui and Xia Jiang to follow.

Guo Li watched Baguio enter the main hall, and suddenly, he saw a familiar figure.

It turned out to be Princess Yongmu.

Yongmu and Baguio entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall at the same time.

In order to kill time, Guo Li looked at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda standing tall. I thought that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda had become a scenic spot in my previous life, and it would cost a lot of money if I went in to watch it. I don't know if it costs money to go in at this time.

"Husband, guess who Baguio met?"

"Princess Yongmu." Do you still need to guess? I saw it early.

"Husband, what wish did you make?" Baguio asked happily.

Needless to say? Of course, it is to wish the child a safe birth.

"The husband is wrong, Baguio prays for fairness and safety." Baguio said happily.

Didn't even pray for the child?

Seeing the happy silly girl, Guo Li was a little moved. You must know that ordinary people pray for blessings and incense, and they are naturally extremely pious, and what they wish in their hearts is also what they think.

"Amitabha."

A Buddha horn woke up Guo Li, who was moving and weeping in his heart.

The person who came had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, his face was different from that of the Central Plains, he was wearing monk's clothes, and he was less than twenty years old.

"The donor is a person who is destined for Buddhism, why does he pass through the treasure temple and not enter?"

People who are destined for Buddhism? It is indeed fateful, it stands to reason that the six reincarnations belong to the Buddhist family, Guo Li came to the Tang Dynasty through the reincarnation of the king of Hades, and he is really destined for the Buddha. It's just that although Guo Li saw it with his own eyes, he still didn't believe in these things in his heart. If good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, why are some wicked people still alive and good after doing many evils? It's not that the time has not come, and what is said is the same as nonsense.

"Dare to ask the monk to call the shot?" Guo Li didn't want to answer the little monk's question.

"The little monk is not empty, and he doesn't dare to call himself a monk."

"Could it be that the monk has anything else to say?" Guo Li was strange, the monk was just a title, and the little monk in front of him actually said that he didn't dare to call himself a monk, what was the mystery in it?

"Harmony is the collective name of the Three Realms. Shang means high. The title of monk can only be called by the Buddha Shakyamuni". The little monk said solemnly.

So that's the case, no wonder the monks of the Tang Dynasty were all called monks or mages, and rarely called monks.

"Guo Li has been taught, since this is the fate, goodbye." Guo Li didn't want to entangle with the little monk more, and was about to turn around and leave with Baguio when the little monk spoke again.

"The little monk only has seven sufferings, and he also asks the donor to solve the doubts for the little monk." The little monk was entangled.

"I wonder what the mage saw was the seven sufferings?"

"Amitabha, the eight sufferings of life: the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of illness, the suffering of death, the suffering of love and separation, the suffering of resentment and hatred, the suffering of not asking for it, and the suffering of the five yin and the blazing suffering. The only thing missing from the benefactor is the suffering of death. The donor is not afraid of death, but he is only seen in the life of a young monk. ”

When Guo Li heard this, this monk was indeed not an ordinary monk. Reincarnation is Guo Li's secret, and no one can know it. Knowing from the mouth of the little monk that the other party could see a clue, Guo Li was a little afraid of the little monk in front of him.

"Guo believes in Taoism and nature, and what is eight hardships and seven hardships has nothing to do with Guo."

After Guo Li finished speaking, he turned around and left, ignoring the little monk. Baguio followed Guo Li closely, and when he walked away, he turned around and saw the little monk standing in place.

"Husband, the little monk is still in place."

"Does Baguio have something to ask?" Guo Li knew that Baguio believed in Buddhism and believed in the words of the little monk.

"No, the little monk said that the husband is not afraid of death, but people will eventually die, if people don't die, isn't it a god in the world? According to legend, Peng Zu lived to be 800 years old, but that is just a legend. ”

"By the way, didn't Baguio's farm send Steward Gou to see it last time? How was this year's harvest? "Guo Li is not worried about Baguio's farm, he just wants to see if he can do something to make a fortune.

When the husband asked, Baguio dared to say that the harvest of the farm this year was not good, and Baguio exempted the farm from the harvest for a year. Seeing the snow a few days ago, next year's harvest should be excellent. ”

The last time Baguio sent Gou's housekeeper to the farm, he found that the farm had a bad harvest this year, and if the farmers were asked to pay private grain, I am afraid that the life of these farmers would be even worse.

Bad harvest?

The Guanzhong area is known as the granary, since the construction of the Zhengguo Canal in the Warring States Period, the plain of 800 miles is fertile for thousands of miles.

"Last year, there was a locust plague, and most of the fertile land lost production. Now that the price of japonica rice in Guanzhong has risen, the grain transported in is not enough for the imperial court. Xia Jiang suddenly said.

"I heard that Liangzhou is even more miserable, and displaced people have begun to appear." Spring Water Road.

Guo Li knows a little about Cao Yun. The Sui Dynasty opened the construction of the Grand Canal, from Hangzhou to Luoyang, Luoyang to Chang'an has not been very smooth, there is a locust plague in Guanzhong, grain production is reduced, there will be big problems.

I don't know how Prime Minister Zhang said to deal with these problems and solve the grain problem, either open source and transport the grain from outside into the customs through two roads by land and water, or reduce the flow and reduce the loss of grain.

Originally, I wanted to go to see the place where Master Xuanzang stayed before his death, but after the little monk's interest, he was about to go back, and saw Princess Yongmu walking by with a lonely expression. Guo Li is a little strange, Princess Yongmu didn't just get married, isn't the concubine bad for the princess? It is rumored that the colt is an extremely filial and honest person. What happened to the princess?

Originally, Princess Yongmu had nothing to do with Guo Li, but last time she was in Yongning Palace, she also got acquainted with this Princess Yongmu.

"Chen Guoli has seen Princess Yongmu."

Guo Li's abrupt salute startled Princess Yongmu, and when she saw that it was Guo Li, she remembered seeing this person in Yongle Palace. How every time I see this person, it's sneaky. Thinking of this, Princess Yongmu's mood was much better.

"The princess is depressed, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I came to pray for blessings today, but I didn't expect to meet Lord Guo." Princess Yongmu dodged, and at this moment, someone said, "Isn't this Princess Yongmu?" ”

Princess Yongmu's expression changed greatly when she heard the voice of the visitor.

A prince of a family, with a few entourage, approached Princess Yongmu with his teeth and claws, and said arrogantly: "I will go to the house today to disturb me, make tea for my son, and the meal is ready..."

"So it's you?"
