Chapter 193: Rebuilding the Ancient Temple

Xiangzi, as usual, came to the yamen early. But it looks a little listless.

When County Magistrate Kong entered the door, he saw that he was not in spirit. So he smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Didn't meet it? ”

Xiangzi smiled lazily and said, "The horse is chasing back, but the hateful thing is that I let the goods run away from my hands." ”

He will explain the beginning and end of the arrest of Ma Jiangong and the doctrine of 1510.

When the county magistrate Kong heard this, his face was full of joy and said, "Okay! The horses were chased back, and they were not satisfied. It's not a matter of time before Ma Jiangong is caught. ”

Xiangzi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That thing is too thief to show up easily." If it were a heinous master, I would have shot him. ”

County Magistrate Kong smiled lightly and comforted: "Yes, it is really difficult to handle a master like him, who has a lot of small cases and does not commit big cases." Even if you get it back, you won't be sentenced to a few years, so you can let it go and do it. ”

The muscles on Shoko's face gradually softened.

With a contemplative smile, he said: "However, that thing is still a good talk, ten years ago, he promised not to commit crimes in the country, and he has been living in peace until now." This time he assured me that he would not hear from him again in the near future. ”

While sorting out the documents on the table, the county magistrate Kong said: "As the saying goes, if the people don't sue, the officials don't look for them." As long as he doesn't cause trouble in the country, let him go. Now the things at hand, stacked one by one, are enough for you to be busy. ”

Xiangzi sighed lightly, took out a money bag from his waist, put it on the table of County Magistrate Kong, and said with a smile: "However, that guy also paid some money for chasing him this time." This is the money for those two horses, no one reported the crime, and it is just kept. ”

County Magistrate Kong glanced at the money bag, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "People are really interesting to you, and you still don't give up." ”

Shoko laughed at himself and muttered with a smile: "He is also the most troublesome opponent I have encountered over the years." ”

County Magistrate Kong smiled "hehe" and said, "If you can escape from you twice, you can be regarded as a person." Do you have a champion, people have their own way of survival. ”

As he spoke, County Magistrate Kong seemed to suddenly remember something, put down the documents in his hand, and said with an excited face: "Patronizing Ma Jiangong, I forgot about the big things." ”

As he spoke, he took out a document from the drawer, handed it to Xiangzi, and said, "The funds for the reconstruction of the Thousand Buddha Caves have been approved." ”

When Xiangzi heard this, as if she had suddenly seen her mother, she exclaimed in surprise: "Great! This is great news, I have been looking forward to it for more than ten years, and I have finally been relieved of a big heartache. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly slipped through the official document, but his face gradually turned cold. Softly put down the file, glanced at County Magistrate Kong suspiciously, and muttered, "This money is too little, right?" Isn't even half enough? ”

County Magistrate Kong still said happily: "I said brother, just be content!" I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother for all this money, and I gave it after a few years. ”

After a pause, County Magistrate Kong continued with confidence: "With this money, we can move first." As long as they are really moving, the squires and people in all directions will not stand idly by. When the time comes, we will point to the villages, and reply to a part of it first.

As long as the temple has a look, the number of believers from all over the world will gradually increase. When you accumulate money, you will gradually recover. Besides, the temple has its initial scale, so I can continue to ask for it. One day, the thousand-year-old temple will be restored to its original appearance. Let the believers from all over the world have a spiritual home. ”

Xiangzi also seems to have smoothed out the idea of the head of Kong County step by step. His expression was a little excited, and he said, "A few years ago, the temple also had some savings, and this time it can also come in handy." ”

County Magistrate Kong glanced at Xiangzi suspiciously, and muttered to himself: "How do you know that there is money in the temple?" ”

Xiangzi smiled slyly and said, "I got it when County Magistrate Liu was in office." Although the incense in the temple has been weak in recent years, there is land in the temple, and the rent is enough to maintain the temple. Therefore, this money has been idle. ”

County Magistrate Kong perked up and said, "I'll just say, as long as you start working, you won't be afraid of running out of money." ”

While talking, Sun Mingzhi and Shao Caizhu walked in one after the other with a smile.

Seeing Xiangzi's stunned appearance, the county magistrate Kong beckoned to give up his seat, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I made an appointment with several leading figures in the county to go to the Thousand Buddha Cave together today to discuss the construction of the temple with Master Guanghui. ”

As he was talking, Kong Qingwu and several wealthy squires also walked in one after another.

The county magistrate of Kong asked his younger brother Qingwu, "Did you bring all the pictures?" ”

Kong Qingwu nodded and raised the roll of paper in his hand.

County Magistrate Kong glanced at everyone with a flickering gaze, and said with a gentle smile: "I see that everyone is here, let's leave now?" ”

Since the Thousand Buddha Cave was burned down by fire, the only place where you can gather is the chanting hall that was converted into a dining hall.

The magistrate of Kong County explained the intention to Monk Guanghui, who closed his eyes slightly, put his palms together, and recited "Amitabha" in a deep voice

County Magistrate Kong paused for a moment and continued: "Although the funds have been approved, there is still a lot of room for the temple to be fully restored. Therefore, I plan to use these funds to start a first and gradually build it year by year. Today we are here to ask the teacher, Father, to start there. ”

Monk Guanghui stroked his long hair, his eyes closed slightly, and said: "There is a time to study, and to become a Buddha is to be a person first." The temple is magnificent, and the entrance to the Heavenly King Palace. ”

County Magistrate Kong seemed to have an understanding and said, "Master is saying that you should start with the Heavenly King Hall first?" ”

Monk Guanghui nodded slightly and said, "All regular temples, you must first see the Tianwang Hall when you enter." Because, the Tianwang Hall is Buddhism's guide to sentient beings, how to behave and do things, which is the basis of learning. Only by doing a good job of people in advance can we hope to become a Buddha. Therefore, placing the Buddha Hall at the back of the Heavenly King's Hall is what it means. ”

County Magistrate Kong smiled happily and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

As he spoke, he asked Kong Qingwu to hang the pictures he brought on the wall one by one.

County Magistrate Kong pointed to the picture and said, "This is the appearance and style of each hall that I took the time to draw from memory, and this is the Heavenly King Palace." ”

The paintings on the walls are brightly colored and lifelike. In addition, the main points and characteristics of each hall are drawn in detail and realistically from both sides.

After a burst of praise from everyone, County Magistrate Kong said with a slightly solemn expression: "As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. The money given by the province this time is indeed a little less, and it is a little tight to use. We have made a preliminary calculation, if it is enough to repair the Heavenly King Palace. ”

At this time, the monk Guanghui raised his eyebrows and said: "Amitabha, although the temple has been depressed in recent years, it still has some savings in the past. ”

County Magistrate Kong smiled happily and said: "I believe that as long as we move, all aspects will not stand idly by." ”

Monk Guanghui closed his eyebrows slightly, put his palms together, and sang deeply: "Amitabha Buddha ......"
