Section 211 Shock, Medium
After rectifying the tunnel entrance in the cave, Xiao Shami breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to slack off and pause.
He carefully examined the entire cave with a flashlight, covered up other suspicious traces, and then quickly exited the cave, wiped his hands and closed the stone door and locked it as it was, and cleaned up the traces, went up the steps, and carefully pushed open the cement slate above his head with all his might, revealing the gap, and listened carefully to the movement of this hall for a while, confirming that it was okay, and then increased the exit and pushed the bed of the quiet room above, drilled out of the hole, and pushed the heavy stone slab back to block the entrance, And also with a little bit of cement carefully and thoroughly wipe the traces of this gap, after drying, the ground is also a seamless cement floor, and then get the bed back to its original position and clean up.
It is when autumn is high and dry, and under the conditions of external ventilation, the fine cracks here dry faster, and it is difficult to see anything abnormal on the ground here after a day or two.
At that time, even if there were fine people in the imperial court who suspected that the concubines and princesses were not robbed by someone from the temple over the wall or something, but in some remote location in the temple, they were taken away from the tunnel and searched here, they would never have imagined that there was actually a cave hidden under the solid and flat quiet room.
This cave is naturally not Yang Lin they dug for stealing people, that is simply impossible, but the Great Xiangguo Temple itself built, is a treasure house of secret money, excavated and built at the beginning of the expansion, the construction of the knowers have long died, here has become the temple's secret place, covered in the original ordinary temple of His Royal Highness, and then in order to further increase the storage capacity of the treasure house was transformed into a huge area of the Heavenly Temple, by the way, the treasure house was increased, but also through the hall to further hide the secret.
There are only four people who hold the secret. One is the abbot presiding, the other is the monk of the monastery, and the other two are the superintendent of the temple and the deputy (in charge of money). These are the only four people who secretly carry and collect gold and silver treasures for the temple.
However, the only people who hold the keys to the two locks of the treasury are the abbot and the monk, and both must be present at the same time to open the treasury.
This secret has been passed down from generation to generation among these four types of monastery leaders. The other people in the temple, even the oldest senior monk and elder with the highest qualifications, did not know the inside story.
The monk who presided over the expansion proved to be very far-sighted.
Daxiangguo Temple is a famous temple through the ages, was built in the north and south of Qi Tianbao six years, the real name is Jianguo Temple, later, Tang Ruizong decree changed its name, and gave the "Daxiangguo Temple" plaque. When he arrived in Song Taizu, he put the 500 bronze Arhat statues transported back from Lushan Donglin Temple to Daxiangguo Temple, which further enhanced the status of the temple. It was Song Taizong who completely established the supreme and prosperous status of the temple. In his later years, he carried out a large-scale expansion of the Great Xiangguo Temple, making it a de facto royal temple, and sure enough, from the reopening of the temple, pilgrims gathered, and high-ranking officials and nobles and wealthy businessmen enthusiastically came to throw a lot of money, and the wealth was rolling, and the business was very good.
The temple quickly developed, at the beginning of the monk few, the temple attractions are few, the high monks sitting in the town are also few, the pattern of courage is too small, and the noble status of the royal worship is not commensurate, there is money to expand the scale of the scenic spot and strive to develop into the first temple first, and then by the light of the royal family to press other historical prosperous temples to develop into the first temple in the world. Monks who claim to be detached from the world also have active pursuits. The temple is bigger, the fame is more sufficient, there are more monks who come to sit in the town, and there are naturally more cute little money.
Everything was achieved gradually, quickly, smoothly and in accordance with the wishes of the leaders of the temple.
It was in the most prosperous period of the Northern Song Dynasty in history, deeply respected by the royal family, and on the verge of the Bianhe River, in front of the temple gate is an important pier in the city of Tokyo, and the location is moderate, so it has become a prosperous place for private trading and amusement. Daxiangguo Temple is well managed, open many temple fairs every month, there are as many as 10,000 businessmen in the temple, there are usually acrobatics, drama performances, storytelling and many other folk art activities, the night of the Lantern Festival is the east mountain on the moon, the colorful and splendid lantern show makes the Daxiangguo Temple light up brilliantly all night, looking at it from afar, it is like a fairyland. It is the so-called temple stage, economic singing. Later generations are familiar with temples and other scenic spots, and they all know that these are activities that come to make a lot of money. The temple can enjoy the cool in summer, and can enjoy the snow in winter, and the daily is also a visitor like weaving, the great painter Zhang Zeduan, a generation of famous Kou Zhun, Su Dongpo of one person through the ages...... are nostalgic for it. Those who are not bad for money donate more money.
The business is too good, the natural weather of the temple is becoming more and more magnificent, "Longhua spring, lighting the moon and the sun." All women are like tens of billions...... Thousands of rides, flowing people like dragons...... Looking around by the railing, the glory of good spirit. Looking down at it, the suspicion is that the pearl is windy, and the myth is on the sea. "The golden glow, the clouds are disfigured" is not enough to describe the grand occasion.
It is brilliant enough, in this world that is different from history but the background is roughly the same, Zhao Yue who was born out of thin air, with a high degree of economic development and prosperity intentionally driven by the Cangzhao family that broke the economic model of the ages, the Song Dynasty became richer and richer, and the Great Xiangguo Temple jumped higher on the basis of the bull spirit, and the money came like a tide.
In history, according to research, it has covered an area of 540 acres, has jurisdiction over 64 Zen and law institutes, more than 1,000 monks, is the largest temple in the capital and the center of national Buddhist activities, in this world there is the indirect influence of the Cangzhao family in the economy, its scale is larger than in history, and the monks raised are several times more.
Extremely superior life and famous environment lead to the monks keen to gather here, just one temple, almost half of the world's monks choose to live and meditate here as elders, plus the wandering and single residence here to practice and communicate more, and even often can account for eighty or ninety percent of the world's monks.
The more senior monks, the more devout the pilgrims came to prostrate and ask for donations.
Vice versa.
It's a matter of complementing each other.
There are many pilgrims who encounter unsolvable difficulties, and do not hesitate to bankrupt their families in order to seek the monks to resolve the disaster and guide them to the maze to free their troubled lives.
Daxiangguo Temple is too rich, the money is so much that it can not be spent, repeatedly built temples and monks' houses, and repeatedly donated the copper coins and copper objects received to make bronze statues of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, kings, spirit animals, etc., and made copper pillars, big tripods, ever-bright lamps, incense burners, candlesticks, vases, water purification bottles, copper pans...... The statue has been thickened and gilded, and the money has been cleverly hidden in various ways like this, and the money has not been used up, not to mention the temple fairs and other firestorm businesses and the generous donation income of the wealthy, it is just the daily pious donations of ordinary people from Gyeonggi and the north and south of the world and the expenses in the temple to support the thousands of monks in the temple to maintain the daily expenses of the temple. 、
This kind of income is much faster and easier than officials embezzling bribes, and it is more legitimate, legal, and reasonable, and in line with the will of the people. Not to mention that it is an ordinary corrupt official, it is the Gao Yu Gao Taiwei, who is in charge of the money and food of the Eighty Forbidden Army, but he can embezzle and accept bribes on a large scale, and he does not have the money of the Great Xiangguo Temple Niu B.
Gao Yu has been the commander-in-chief of the Central Military Region for so long, racking his brains to make money, and carrying countless infamy, but even famous paintings, jade, gemstones, and Shu brocade are all added together into money, which is millions of family property. The wealth of Daxiangguo Temple is easily far beyond Gao Yu unconsciously.
The bureaucrats of the Manchu Song Dynasty, only the wealth accumulated by the Cai Jing family, who had been the prime minister and the emperor for too long and could loot the world, could be compared with the wealth of the Great Xiangguo Temple.
This is only the useless gold and silver treasures accumulated by the Great Xiangguo Temple, and not counting a large proportion of the wealth that was cleverly hidden by the temple as a Buddha statue vessel, but it is at least 20 million yuan.
The huge greed Cai Jing can be called a rich country. Compared with Cai Jing, the Great Xiangguo Temple is truly the existence of a rich and rival country, and only the Great Inner Treasury of Emperor Zhao Ji can be compared.
Too much gold and silver treasures piled up, naturally will not donate to the state to help solve the people's suffering and poverty to return to the society, set up porridge sheds to help the victims of the paving the way or something to show charity, increase the fame of the temple, occasionally look at the opportunity to mean the meaning, in order to avoid the world, including the royal court and dignitaries, especially the bold gangsters who spy on the red eyes to covet such a huge wealth, the monks pay attention to low-key pretending to be poor every day, the Great Xiangguo Temple can only hide the wealth, can only be too eye-catching gold and silver treasures secret collection.
So, this treasure house, which was hidden deep under the heavens, was secretly brought in one by one with a sturdy chest full of treasures, and one by one it was sent into the cave fork where the width of the two people who could only carry the box bent down vertically and placed it, and the boxes were placed horizontally, and the people withdrew, and then sent them in and stacked them on top of the previous box. The two chests are stacked on top of the curved hole, and if they can't be stacked high, they are placed outwards in turn......
The income of the Great Xiangguo Temple as a whole is far greater than the expenditure, the wealth that has been collected naturally does not need to be moved, and the gold and silver treasures received after the generous donation or the gold and silver treasures carefully folded in exchange for a little bit do not need to be spent, and naturally flow into the treasure house to collect, year after year, month after month, the treasure chests marked with seals are constantly sent into the cave, and they are placed in turn in the fork to extend to the direction of the cave exit, and the inside has been placed earlier, and no one has moved. At the time of the handover of the dynasties, at the beginning, it was also painstaking to check and check to prevent the previous generation of guards who had completed the mission from stealing, and then they did not check it at all, because there were too many collections, and the boxes were stuffed in the cave forks and squeezed into the forks, and people couldn't get in at all, and if they wanted to check them one by one, they could only slowly pour out the heavy boxes one by one from the outside to the inside, which was too hard and too difficult, and it was not a job that the four monks who were too young to lead in the short term could quietly complete the work, and it was almost impossible to steal the collection in the box inside.
The most important thing is that the four monks who master the secrets here have the cash cow of Daxiangguo Temple, as the absolute core high-level is already rich and endless, and the cash spent on the daily life of the temple in his hands is enough to squander and enjoy, so why bother to steal the treasures in the secret treasure and risk losing the wealth and endless treasure.
In a word, there is no need for that.
Do you have a steady stream of money on hand and will use your brains to rob banks and steal banks?
Naturally not.
Money is really like a dung disdain thing to you in that state, and you can't bother with that.
Of course, perverts who like to play exciting and find guilt don't count.
The Northern Song Dynasty prospered for a hundred years. The wealth accumulated in the Great Xiangguo Temple for a hundred years is amazing, so that the generation of Zhao Yue who guarded the secret of the four monks of the temple leaders, after taking over the secret, every time they enter the cave treasure house to collect wealth, it is not rare to look at the box stuffed in the darkness of the fork.
It's not bad for money, money is purely a number for these four monks, as a master of Buddhism, he naturally has to despise gold and silver treasures as a blockage, and he only has dirty eyes.
It's just that so many poor people in the world urgently need some money to make ends meet...... Help, but not get. No one cares about the suffering of the people. The monks of Daxiangguo Temple also do not see the suffering and longing of the world, and they dare not and will never take out the amazing treasures that can only be silent in the underground caves, long hairs and rotten, to help the people who support them.
These monks have cultivated profoundly, and they have truly cultivated to the point that they are indifferent to all living beings like the Buddha statues enshrined in the temple, smiling and opening their eyes and ignoring the needs of all living beings.
If you want to move, you have to donate more sincerely and generously to this temple, and the Buddha will consider pointing you out for a maze.
Of course, in terms of monetary returns, you don't have to think about it.
Worship the Buddha and seek the Buddha, good believers, you must be sincere.
The best way to show your sincerity is to donate money. Now that you have donated, how can you ask to take it back to save yourself?
This is insincere.
If you are not sincere, this Buddha will naturally not help you.
If the gods and Buddhas do not manifest their spirits, naturally you are not sincere enough. If you want to be more pious and truly achieve the level of selfless dedication, you will naturally see the results, and all difficulties will be resolved.....
The extravagant wealth of Daxiangguo Temple, the secret of the treasure house, and the thief ancestor who was sent to the capital for the rich and unkind found out about it, and immediately thought about it. At that time, Yang Lin, who was bored and eager to make another meritorious service after finishing the forbidden army sect, heard the secret of the treasure house, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Since it is a group of bald donkeys pretending to be the Buddha's false compassion and really deceiving the world, what else is polite?
It seems that Zhao Lao Er has no good impression of this foreign religion and disciples, and has said that he has made bad comments about getting social parasites or something by using religious gods for nothing.
This has a basis and support from justice to leadership.
The rich man of the Great Xiangguo Temple is incomparable but can not rob, and the hard robbery may not be able to get the monks, Shi Qian was shocked to find that the temple was hidden in the Ming for the monks, in fact, the martial arts master and even used to be the murderous green forest thief male butcher put down the butcher knife and became a Buddha Many powerful people, then according to the time to move the brothers, steal it. Steal the amazing wealth that the bald donkeys rely on the Wagyu Ox B to pride in but only get in and out and refuse to use for mercy, and use it for the money-starved imperial economy and people's livelihood, so that money can really play its due role.
The core brothers lurking in Tokyo are all thinking about Yang Lin and Shi Qian, and they are all eager to do a big job.
However, the environmental conditions in Tokyo at the time did not allow them to do so.
At that time, Tokyo was not chaotic, and there was no large influx of local ruffians from other places into Tokyo to make a climate, there were too many locals in Tokyo, and the top and bottom were all living in an orderly manner under the joint management of the capital's army, government offices and local ruffian gangs, and there was no suitable house to dig tunnels to commit crimes around the Great Xiangguo Temple. It is also inconvenient for people to run around, otherwise it is easy to attract the attention of locals and even vigilance to report the crime. Moreover, the experts who accurately calculate and excavate tunnels did not have the talents to take advantage of for a while, and they had to cooperate with the empire to get a master of tomb robbers.
This matter dragged on until the conditions were ripe, and it was only last year that the tunnels began to be dug and gradually stolen from the inside to the outside of the cave branches, and the temple did not find it at all. It wasn't until this year's Tokyo Chaos that the normal management order was lost, and Yang Lin Shiqian and his gang were frantically robbed, leaving only the boxes that were easy to be viewed outside untouched.
