Chapter 25 Qiling Temple
"Heal, your actions today will be written in the annals of history," Xiao Zheng said seriously.
Hearing Xiao Zheng say this, the old guy's face was a little excited, and he hurriedly asked, "Cure the disease, what kind of disease?" ”。
"It's not right to say that it's a cure, but the duel can prevent a disease, and when the two of us are successful, we will perform the spell on the others."
After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, he whispered a few words in Ji Chun's ear, and after Ji Chun heard it, his original smiling face turned pale, and he said tremblingly: "Grandpa, you turned out to be in ......"
"Don't say it! It's not easy to scare people, and you have to shut up when you go out! Xiao Zheng intercepted his words and said.
After getting dressed, Ji Chun respectfully bowed to Xiao Zheng and said, "Slave, thank you for your trust."
When he raised his head, Ji Chun's face was already full of tears.
"Okay, I know that Lao Tzu doesn't like to make people kowtow, why can't you change it."
When he went out to the front hall, he saw that the Yan brothers and Pei Mingli and others had also arrived, Xiao Zheng went straight to the point and talked about the road construction, everyone was the old man who originally repaired Chang'an to Luoyang, and the team that had been trained didn't need to say anything, just do it.
After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, Yan Lili asked worriedly: "My lord, this road repair is easy to do, and the construction of water conservancy is also the business of villains, and it is not a big problem to have the cooperation of the people who supervise the craftsmen, but this money..."
Liu Yijie said with a smile on the side: "Lord Yan, are you still worried about money when you work under Gong Xiao?" ”。
Thinking about it, Yan Lide immediately closed his mouth and didn't ask.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you should survey, you should survey the terrain, if you should make a map, if you should measure the money and grain, you should measure the money and grain, build the road first, and then build the water conservancy immediately after the rainy season, and the time will not wait!"
"No!" When they had finished giving their salutes, they withdrew.
After finishing his work, he shouted that Ji Chun took the two children out of the door, and Li Tai asked Xiao Zheng, "Master, are we going to play today?" ”
"No, go collect the debt".
Located in the Qiling Temple of Yangzhou, it is the first year of Chaorenshou Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian to celebrate his birthday, issued an edict to build more than 30 towers in the country to support the Buddha bones, its temple has built a "Qiling Tower" to worship relics, the tower is nine floors high is very magnificent and magnificent.
When I arrived at the gate, I saw that the temple was very magnificent, and there were not many pilgrims coming and going, but I just arrived at the Tianwang Hall and saw Changjie and Fa Lin walking out of the apse with another old monk.
"Three, the demolitionist of the temple is here", the words startled the old monk who followed behind.
"Hugh has to listen to his nonsense," Changjie said to the two behind him with a smile.
Xiao Zheng didn't have a good impression of Fa Lin, but with his life-saving benefactor Changjie here, he had to step forward and salute and say, "The kid has seen the master."
"No need to be polite, as soon as you entered Jiangnan, you were harmed by the displaced people, Jiangnan remembered your benevolence, and I didn't save you in vain. You are now an important minister, you don't need to see the little monk to see the salute," Changjie said with a smile.
"Where did the master say, you will always be the life-saving benefactor of the kid, how can you change because of your identity."
"As soon as Xiao Gong made a move, he punished all those evil ways, and then took them to eradicate their nests, which is to support justice in the world, and it is in line with the principle of my Buddhism's demon defense path" Fa Lin said with a smile, with a hint of schadenfreude in her tone.
"Master Falin, why don't you add some more money, and I will shovel a few more Taoist temples for you?" Xiao Zheng said with a grin.
"Amitabha! Although my Buddhism has a dispute with Taoism, it is not resolved by this method, if the Taoist money is enough, then the Xiao Guild will not demolish my Buddhist temple," Lao Heyan, who came over on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Then I can't really do it, I'm short of money in the future."
After listening to this, Changjie said to the old monk on the side: "He is like this, you think he is demolishing the Taoist temple for my Buddhist family, he is doing it for the people of Yangzhou, and it is also a warning to those who are evil under the guise of gods."
Changjie still understands Xiao Zheng's temperament, and after listening to Changjie's introduction, he knows that the old monk on the side is called Jinghui, who is the host of Qiling Temple.
After seeing the ceremony and entering the meditation room, Xiao Zheng asked Changjie, "How is the little monk?" ”
"Xuanzang has the customs clearance documents you issued along the way, and it is also very smooth, and now he has gone out of the Yumen Pass, and when he gets out of the Tang Dynasty, it depends on his Buddha fate," Changjie said with a chant of the Buddha.
"Master rest assured, although he has been for a long time this time, I believe that he will be able to return with a full load."
"Thank you Xiao Gong for his good words."
After the four of them sat down, they chatted for a while, and Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "Everyone, the people in Xia Ming don't say dark words, this time they are here to ask for money."
"Don't worry, Gong Xiao, I'll be ready early next morning," Falin said with a smile.
"Since that's the case, then you're welcome, but Master Falin, don't forget the agreement between you and me, you can get Buddhism anywhere in the world, but you can't go east, and you can't let Fusang people study Buddhism."
"Don't worry, I have made a vow in front of the Buddha, and the little monk should obey it," Fa Lin said with a smile.
"Send someone to collect the money in the next two days, and I won't bother you anymore."
After Xiao Zheng left, Fa Lin said to Jinghui: "Senior brother, let's stop, don't send people to seek a route to Dongdu, he is already warning us by demolishing the Taoist temple." Although this person is young, it is extremely difficult to deal with, so let's forget about the matter of passing the Dharma to the east."
A painful expression appeared on Jinghui's face, and after pondering for a moment, he sighed and said, "For the sake of my great cause as a Buddha, I have no choice but to give up."
Out of the temple gate, Ji Chun asked very curiously: "Gong Xiao, the old man has something unclear, why don't you let them go to the Fusang Barbarian Land to teach the Fa, what worries you about that broken place."
"You don't understand this, you think I'm afraid of him now, I'm worried about the future" Xiao Zheng looked up at the sky and said, if Xiao Zheng is not mistaken, in a few decades, a monk named Jianzhen will go over and spread the Dharma there, so that that wild place will become unified in faith.
Seeing that it was still early, he took people to Songjiazhuang, where leather was made, and Song De saw Xiao Zheng and picked a made crocodile skin from the shelf.
The whole skin looks clear and full of texture, soft to the touch, from the original gray to white embryonic skin.
"At first, I was not familiar with the technique, and I scrapped two sheets, but now the villain has figured out his character, this is similar to making cowhide, and it is almost dyed, but the villain can't figure out what you want to do with him?" Song De said apologetically.
"Well done, old Song".
After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and said: "This thing is the best material for making bags and shoes, much stronger than you buy some leather drums."
Sure enough, he was a shrewd businessman, Song De understood what was going on at a glance, and after flipping through a few pieces of paper, he said: "My lord, the style of the bag and boots you drew is extremely novel, if it is put on the market, it will definitely be a hot item, but you don't draw these fancy styles very well, and the villain does not dare to compliment."
Song De really has the heart of a craftsman, and he didn't dare to talk about his shortcomings because of Xiao Zheng's identity.
"But there are no good painters," Xiao Zheng also knew his flaws.
When he was about to go back, Song De stopped Xiao Zheng and carried the box of money out and said: "My lord, if it is small, it won't cost two thousand guan to expand, one thousand guan is enough, please take the rest of the money back."
"What you just said reminded me, I don't want the rest of the money, hurry up and recruit good painters and tailors, don't be afraid to spend money, understand."
