Eleventh Adventure
The envoy Wang Changxin wrote: the people of Yunlongfang in the east of the temple, the envoy did not arrive a few days ago, on the tower of the temple, there is a red light, and the Zhou Zhao is far and near. Or see like a rainbow, straight up to the sky, or see the light temple city, red as day. Dan, all heard, the monk sighed and said: "The relics should be opened soon, this Rui Ruzhen view is not different." "Cong and his ministers sent from Jingdan on October 5 and arrived at night on the 6th. Cong immediately entered the tower, specialized and hard, and the way was long and untested. Until the third watch on the 10th, he burned incense with charcoal on his arm, and he was focused on it, and he had no strange thoughts. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the tower under the image, the sound of the crack, looking for the sound to look forward, but to see the light overflowing, the Fei Fei upwell, the three statues in the tower under the foot, each put light, red and white green, swirling upward, as for the balance angle, the synthesis of the tent cover. The ministers are equal to the view of Ruixiang, and the flow is full of brilliance. If there is a rotation, there will be no end to it. And when you look at it, you get a relic, which is bigger than a grain, bright and fresh, more carefully looking, and see two grains, it takes a long time, the light cover gradually stops, the boat goes down, and you don't see it three feet to the ground. The monks know the holy hidden. Cong and others felt Rui, and smelled it in a state.
As soon as the news came out, the Buddha's relics had not yet come out of Fengyang, Chang'an and the prefectures and counties along the way were sensational, hundreds of thousands of believers along the way pious welcome, local officials and dignitaries have donated money and property to build temples, and Buddhism was booming for a while.
At the same time, in the Penglai Palace in Chang'an, Gaozong leaned weakly on the couch, "Yan Guogong, you said that this Buddha relic can really restore the sight of the blind?" He took a sip of the ginseng tea handed over by the waiter, and suddenly asked Yu Zhining intentionally or unintentionally.
Gaozong suddenly said this, Yu Zhining was stunned when asked, he glanced at the inner servant who withdrew, pondered for a moment and said: "The minister doesn't know, there are some things that must not be believed, and cannot be fully believed...... Speaking of this, he glanced at the weak Gaozong, and sighed secretly, "Your Majesty, this dizziness is getting more and more serious, and it is not a long-term strategy to rely on the way of ghosts and gods, alas!" Let's persuade it!" Then he continued: "Qin Minghe's superb acupuncture skills and Zhang Wenzhong's medicine stone assistance, Your Majesty's wind disease will be cured in a few days, the Buddhist relics are the auspicious times of our dynasty, can not cure the disease can only heal the heart, although everyone respects the Buddha is the way to goodness, but in the long run, I am afraid that some people will respect the Buddha's bones and forget the Buddha's heart!" Speaking of this, Yu Zhining carefully glanced at Gaozong's expression, and saw that Gaozong had not changed, so he continued: "The minister recently heard a small story in the market, saying to listen to it with Your Majesty: According to legend, when the Buddha was alive, one day he was making a dervish, and met a little girl on the road, playing with a group of children in the middle of the road, she saw Shakyamuni Buddha leading his disciples from a distance, so she half-jokingly and half-seriously held a stick of soil and sand from the ground with both hands, walked to the Buddha, and put it in the bowl of the World-Honored One, and the World-Honored One actually accepted her sand offerings, the eldest disciple Sariputta really couldn't stand it, and thought to himself how could this girl be so reasonable, how could she use sand and soil to joke with the World Venerable. I couldn't help it on the road, so I asked Shizun: "Shizun, that girl just now, put sand and soil into your bowl, why did you let her mess around?" Shizun smiled and said, "You don't know, after thousands of years, this woman will mature and become the king of a country, and if she is not supported by the sand and soil at this time, she will destroy Buddhism, so that she can plant this good root karma, and when she becomes emperor in the future, she will protect Buddhism and promote Buddhism." ”
Yu Zhining slowly knelt down after telling the story, and did not speak, waiting for Gaozong to deal with it.
Gaozong's heart churned at this time, "Where did this story come from?" If it's from the valve family, it's okay to say, I'm afraid it's from the mouth of Xu and Li, what is she going to do?......"
Gaozong felt dizzy for a while, and his vision became blurry, he leaned the couch, forcibly resisted the discomfort, and said in a low voice: "I know, you can step down!"
Watching Yu Zhining withdraw from the hall, Gaozong summoned the inner servants to "pass Di Renjie and Qin Minghe to come"
The next day, Di Renjie played: "Fengxiang Famen Temple tower has Buddha bones, according to legend, it is said that it will be opened in 30 years, and the year will be abundant, and the next year should be opened............ The princes and the people are willing to give alms, but they are afraid that they will not be able to do so, and there are those who give to the households, and there are those who burn incense and burn the top to provide for them. Everywhere the Buddha's bones go, people burn their fingers, a hundred and ten for a group, undress and scatter money, from the morning to the twilight, turn to imitate, lest the future ...... Officials have no mentality, and farmers have no intention of farming...... This is not a blessing. If a Buddha has a spirit, can he do evil? Wherever there is a disaster, it is advisable to add to the body. …… Heaven is coming, and the minister will not regret it".
A lively ceremony to welcome the Buddha died down after Di Renjie's performance.
…………………………
Rare cloudy weather, a little breeze, so that the afternoon does not seem so hot, just thick clouds, from time to time to block the sun, the light and shadow on the ground flickering, people are upset, in the tavern next to Guhuai, Di Feng is picking up a piece of pig's head meat and chewing it in his mouth, and spit it out again, the weather is too hot This meat already has a hala taste, "It's too unhygienic, and expired food dares to sell?" Hurriedly picked up the wine glass and poured it, and spit it out again, a mouth full of dregs, "I can't eat it!" When I got up, I was going to find the boss to theorize, but when I saw the ugly man on the other side, he was eating with oil, and then he looked at the few people at the next table who were also eating sweetly, alas! Di Feng sighed and sat down again, after all, it was the Tang Dynasty, there was no refrigerator, and the food would taste good when it was left outside for half a day in such a hot weather.
Coming out of Fufeng, the two walked for a long time, and when it was hot and hungry at noon, Chou'er said that he would not leave, so he had no choice but to find such a tavern close to the village to eat something to escape the heat, looking at the already smelly pig's head meat on the table and the flies buzzing around the house, Di Feng had lost his appetite.
"It would be nice to have a few cold dishes, a chilled watermelon, and a glass of draft beer" Listening to the incessant chirping of the trees, Di Feng was a little nostalgic for his life in his previous life; The ugly child ate heartlessly on the opposite side, the oily little hand cocked the orchid finger, pinched the wine glass from time to time, squeaked ~ took a sip, this little Lori since the last time Di Feng changed her tea to wine, after being drunk by the little girl, she began to be obsessed with this spicy taste, every time she has the opportunity to drink herself dizzy, very potential for a little drunkard.
"There is a kind of food made of cream, pressed into a square, sprinkled with dried fruits, frozen into frost, a bite, sweet and with a hint of chill, this season is just right to eat......" Di Feng recalled the ice cream in his previous life, and told the ugly child intentionally or unintentionally.
"Where?" The ugly child really hit the plan.
"Front"
The ugly child glanced at Di Feng with disdain, took a sip of the wine in the glass and said, "Pull it down!" Are you stupid to me? I'll be fooled like you again."
Speechless, this little Lori has learned badly, and she is not as easy to deceive as when she first met, seeing that the trick was discovered, Di Feng picked up the wine glass boredly and looked outside.
Outside the door, a group of bare-bottomed dolls shouted that they were driving away an old beggar, who hobbled to dodge the sticks and rocks thrown by the dolls.
Di Feng frowned after a glance, the old beggar looked a little familiar, and the most important thing was that the old beggar seemed to be faltering, but the wooden sticks and stones thrown by the dolls could not hit him at once, and just like the man in black he encountered, no matter how the dolls chased him, the old beggar staggered and always kept the same distance from the dolls.
"There's something strange about this old beggar!"
Di Feng muttered, threw down a handful of copper, pulled up the ugly child and chased outside.
"Oops! You bad guy, if you can't fool me, do you have to use force?"
The chou'er's shouting provoked, and several big men next to him were eager to try, the Tang Dynasty folk customs were simple, and there was no shortage of such righteous and brave people everywhere, but Di Feng couldn't take care of it too much now, let the ugly er shout, and threw down the sentence "This is my brother" and walked out of the tavern. It's still late, and when I go out, I see that there is no trace of the old beggar, but a bunch of dolls are still frolicking under the locust tree.
After asking where the old beggar went, Di Feng dragged the ugly child to chase down, and this chase came in the evening, but the people did not catch up, and the ugly child couldn't run, so he lay under a tree and began to play tricks.
"What about the man you are talking about? You actually used new tricks to deceive me again, I am so pitiful, I haven't eaten enough, I was pulled by you and ran so far, and now the contents of my stomach have been digested, and I am hungry again"
It's not big, how can you eat it so much? Looking at the ugly man Di Feng shook his head helplessly, cooing~~ There was a sound in his stomach, he didn't eat at noon, and he ran so far, Di Feng himself was hungry.
"Okay, I'll go get something to eat, you wait here" But after speaking, Di Feng hesitated again, in this wilderness where there is no village and no shop in the back, it is really not safe to leave an ugly child. As soon as she heard about the food, the ugly child jumped up, "I'm with you", "This little girl forgot everything when she heard about it, but fortunately, don't worry about it this time."
It is wise to bring the ugly child, the kung fu is great, the ugly child caught three pheasants and a hare out of nowhere, and Di Feng was empty-handed, in order not to let the ugly child laugh at his incompetence in hunting, Di Feng decided to show his hand, he dug a big pit, used the method of calling the chicken, sealed the pheasant with mud, threw it into the pit, and then set up a fire on it.
The hare was sizzling on the fire, and Di Feng tore off a piece and stuffed it into the ugly child's mouth.
"Hiss...... It's so hot, it's cooked, it's cooked" The ugly child hissed when he was hot, and he didn't forget to remind Di Feng that he could eat it.
"This hare is delicious, but is the ice cream you talking about really that magical? Won't the frost melt away in the summer?" While eating roast rabbit meat, Chou'er was still thinking about the "ice cream" that Di Feng said at noon
"I'm also curious that there is still this kind of food in the world"
Before Di Feng could answer the ugly child, an old voice suddenly sounded beside the two.
"Who?" Chou'er and Di Feng asked at the same time.
