Chapter 19: The Temple of No Leakage
When people are faced with the unknown, they will explain it through the gods. Therefore, Qin Ze naturally gave the black powder a mysterious veil, after all, this thing was too dangerous.
Impermanence listened to Erhu's words and didn't speak for a long time. The reckless bull on the other side also widened his eyes and looked incredulous.
"What's in that box? Have you seen that? Impermanence was keenly aware of the strangeness of the event, and that was the wooden box.
Erhu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I don't seem to be afraid of my inspection." And after the divine thunder, I also found the residue of the box, and I couldn't see what was inside. ”
After listening to Erhu's words, impermanence was also clueless. Intuitively, I felt that the box was not simple, but now it is difficult to verify. Besides, this afternoon is a beautiful afternoon, where do you get a little cloud.
"This divine thunder that appeared out of thin air, isn't it the palm thunder of Taoism?" Impermanence secretly said in his heart, but after thinking about it, he also felt that it was unlikely, not to mention anything else, just say that this palm thunder, he has never seen anyone use it.
I thought about it for a while, but I still couldn't understand the truth, so I had to nod and say to Erhu: "You go back first, don't talk about this matter." There is a big secret hidden in this person, and he must not be allowed to fall into the hands of others. ”
Qin Ze has a big secret hidden in his body, such as he is not a person of this era at all, for example, he is now sleepy. Fortunately, he survived until the second tiger came back, quickly scratched a few marks on the wall, and the whole person fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep was extremely drowsy, and early the next morning, Qin Ze, who was still drowsy, was woken up by a loud voice.
Opening his sleepy eyes, Qin Ze heard that there seemed to be a lot of people making noise outside, and the impatient voice of Erhu could be heard during the interval.
I slept late yesterday, but now I was woken up again, and now I stared at a face that was about to kill and pushed open the door.
When he raised his eyes, he was startled at the moment, but he saw that on the street at the entrance of the courtyard, there were more than a dozen people standing in twos and threes. They were all far away, and they almost stood under the corridor of Cheng's mansion.
Erhu is holding a broom in his hand and is cleaning in front of the door. But now he didn't have the skills, because the crowd was pointing at him.
There were also one or two bold ones who asked directly: "Second boy, is your young master okay?"
The one who spoke was the three girls who lived next door to Qin Ze, and ordinary people were babbling, and what they liked most was to watch the excitement.
When Qin Ze saw her, he didn't have to think about it to know that he must be idle again, and he was happy with himself. walked out of the courtyard at the moment, stood next to Erhu, and said: "Third girl, we are neighbors anyway, what do you mean this early morning?"
Seeing the victim coming out from the side, the third girl was also a little embarrassed. At that moment, he laughed very exaggeratedly and said: "Little Master of the Qin family, I heard that there was a drought and thunder outside Chang'an City yesterday, and I also heard that the little young master also went outside the city, so I asked if it was not."
"Co-authoring, is this caring for yourself?" Qin Zepi waved his hand with a smile, and said very seriously: "Thank you three girls for worrying, if it's okay, let's disperse, your young master and I will definitely live a long life."
said this, but in his heart, he thought: "Your young master and I have lived more than a thousand years longer than you, and it is your turn to worry about it too early."
Bombarded away the crowd gathered at the door, Qin Ze was bored. This time, he couldn't sleep, so he sent Erhu to buy a cooking cake, plus a bowl of chaos, even if he had breakfast.
If you don't have a mobile phone or a TV, you're bored. After giving Huo Huo Huo the ant nest in the courtyard several times, Qin Ze finally couldn't help the fanaticism in his heart. As soon as I slapped my thigh, I was going to go out for a walk.
Erhu watched Qin Ze jump up like a demon on the side, and thought that Qin Ze had thought of something, but before he could speak, Qin Ze preemptively said: "Go, get the twenty yuan ready." Your young master is going to give money to the bald monk today. ”
The four words of the bald monk Qin Ze shouted very smoothly, completely because in his heart, the other party was a real robber and robbed himself of twenty times.
The copper coin of the Tang Dynasty was Kaiyuan Tongbao, which was about four or five grams. It has always been the appearance of one thousand pieces, which is eight or nine catties, and twenty pounds is almost two hundred catties. Placed in a huge box, it looks particularly domineering.
You must know that in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, a first-class official only paid more than a dozen times a month. As soon as this eldest grandson Chong made a shot, he was twenty runs, and he looked magnanimous. Now think about it, Changsun Chong's proposal to donate these twenty yuan to Wuxian Temple is also very correct.
After all, it is a drought period now, if Li Er, who is so poor, knows that this little poem will be twenty times as soon as it is shot, and he will not be angry.
The hot potato is also comfortable to look at.
The money was moved, but the two of them were worried about how to get it to Wuxian Temple.
The place where they lived was Shengyefang, which was level with the Suzaku Gate in the north of Chang'an. The Wuchuan Temple is in Jinchangfang, separated by six avenues and seven markets, almost across half of Chang'an. There is at least a dozen miles in the middle, and it seems impossible to let Erhu move over alone, and the only way now is to rent a carriage to send it.
Qin Ze also didn't expect that no matter where he went, the house and car were still the unattainable goals of a poor person like him.
The carriage is easy to find, and the three girls' family has a shop in the East Market. gave thirty yuan, and agreed to rent it to Qin Ze for one day.
The three girls are specialized in the barrel business, and the carriage is usually used to pull some wood. So there are no seats inside, and there is a smell of rotten wood.
That's why Qin Ze said it well, so he agreed to rent it to Qin Ze.
Qin Ze didn't bother to stay inside, so he sat on the wheel, and the two of them hurried slowly towards Wuxian Temple. Listening to the creaking sound of the carriage, Qin Ze also looked around at the street.
The structure of Chang'an is very distinctive, and it is a standard rectangle. Even in the afterlife, such a regular city could not be found.
On both sides of the wide street are the walls of the markets. The embryo is a mixture of soil and wheat straw, and the low ones are less than a man tall. And looking like that, it also looks crumbling.
The more you go to the east of the city, the more people walk, the huge Chang'an City 108 markets, the east market and the west market can be said to be the two concentrated business districts of Chang'an, not at all the kind of individual small business in the square can be compared.
Zhang's mother-in-law's shop is at the entrance of the East Market, and Qin Ze can see it when you walk on the street. Just by taking a look, Qin Ze couldn't help but sigh that the business was really good. Although she is called Zhang's mother-in-law, she is also a family of four, but Granny Zhang is responsible for the taste.
Opposite Zhang's mother-in-law is a wonton shop, his wonton soup is clear and fragrant, especially the wonton dough is made of pork, it looks crystal clear, put it in a pot and boil, put in some soybeans that are very bad, it is also delicious.
The people on the street are all simple, although sometimes some families come out to procure, but they do not mean to disturb the people.
Just kidding, now is the time for Li Er to consolidate his position, at this time, the people's will is what he values, and the gentleman of Chang'an does not dare to be too presumptuous at this time.
I don't know where the name of the temple came from, but I know that it was to make the omission of the world, so I gave it such a name.
Qin Ze didn't know much about Wuxian Temple, but he knew another thing. That is, in the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, this temple will be renovated and will have another resounding name - Ci'en Temple.
And Qin Ze also knew that there was still a very important person living in Buddhism, that is, Xuanzang. For this Tang monk in Journey to the West, Qin Ze is very yearning. This is also the reason why he was able to convince himself to come to this Wuxian Temple.
The two of them were also fine, so they walked very slowly. Walked slowly for half an hour before coming to Jinchangfang, compared to the pedestrians on the street, the people here are much more lively.
There are more people, there are more little girls, and when there are more little girls, Qin Ze's interest will be higher. Look at the little girl with flowers here, and look at the little lady with a smile over there, which swept away the previous unhappiness.
When he looked back, Erhu was righteous, and his eyes were not squinting, especially from time to time he would despise Qin Ze's eyes, looking like a gentleman and self-conscious.
"Look at what your young master has done, it's not that your young master doesn't know that you are a person." At that moment, Qin Ze told Erhu and Wang Fu, the two of them hiding at the door to watch the passing girls.
Erhu also knew that he was at a loss, but he didn't expect Qin Ze to be so cheeky, and he was white a few times at the moment, so he simply couldn't see it and didn't worry about it.
laughed twice, Qin Ze was too lazy to pay attention to the second tiger, but his eyes were still undiminished, which made some little girls red-faced, and some of them were bold and spat directly at Qin Ze.
Anyway, if you take a few bites, you won't lose two pieces of meat, so Qin Ze is still unrestrained. After another tea time, the two came to the Wuxian Temple.
After depositing the carriage, Qin Ze found two little monks very righteously to help him carry the copper coins.
The incense of the temple is also very luxuriant, at this time the people who come to make wishes and pray for blessings come and go, step through the temple gate of up to one zhang, Qin Ze saw the Tianwang Hall of the front hall, the hall is ** enshrined with the statue of Maitreya, the statue of the four heavenly kings is enshrined on the left and right, and the statue of Wei Dao Tianzun is enshrined on the back.
Under the white stone steps outside the hall, there is a three-legged and two-eared tripod, and the incense burner is endless, and the fireworks are curling.
Just when Qin Ze was sighing and being lively, he found a familiar figure in the crowd. When I looked closely, it was Wang Yuxi, and I saw that she was wearing a white dress with flowing shoulders today, and some simple stripes were embroidered on the long hem, although it was simple, it was fresh and refined.
Especially the piety on that face, which formed a great contrast with her liveliness before. At this time, she was holding three long wooden incense sticks and inserting them into the big ding.
As soon as he saw Wang Yuxi, Qin Ze immediately didn't bother to pay attention to these twenty runs. gave an explanation to Erhu and asked him to help him watch it, and followed towards the Heavenly King Palace.
