, calling the stupa a floating temple.

When the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built, according to the practice of the early Tang Dynasty, the singular number prevailed, so the tower was five stories high, and the inner soil core was covered with bricks, which was already a big project at that time. The cost is huge, and it is the largest floating slaughter in Chang'an City!

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda later collapsed. Rebuilt by Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian likes to break the routine in everything, isn't the tower built in the early Tang Dynasty based on the singular number, she has to change it to an even number, and the cultivation is as high as the sky. As high as ten floors, it has become a landmark building of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty and a world-famous Dafu Tu!

The ten-storey floating slaughter, in the early Tang Dynasty, was already regarded as a work of several peaks, built by the state, to replace the ordinary people, which rich man would not dare to build such a high floating slaughter!

But as soon as Tang Xuanwan opened his mouth, he didn't want the five-layer original, let alone the ten-layer copy, he directly wanted the thirteenth floor! This is obviously to take Wang Ping'an as a wronged leader, take the big wooden stick that rings the bell, and knock Wang Ping'an's bamboo carry!

Wang Ping'an was almost knocked unconscious, and he shouted, "Thirteenth-storey? ”

Tang Xuanban put his palms together, recited Amitabha, and added: "I want all bricks, not the kind of earth, all the inside and outside should be green bricks, grinding bricks and joints, and the walls should be engraved with pictures to promote my Buddha!" ”

Qiu Renjie was furious, do you want to make my eldest brother bankrupt, to build such a big wild goose pagoda, my eldest brother has to take his pants, that may not be enough!

Wang Ping'an was also furious, he laughed angrily, and said sarcastically: "It turns out that as long as the tower is built with blue bricks, I thought that the whole tower should be covered with copper, and wrapped with copper skin, wouldn't it be more solid, a thirteen-story copper tower." It looks like it's golden, isn't it in line with your identity, senior brother! ”

Of course, Tang Xuanji could hear that he was sarcastic, but on the surface, he was a little "Muna" who only knew how to preach and practice, but in fact, in his heart he was quite aware of the world, if he was really a dull monk, how could he cross thousands of miles, come and go unhindered, even if there was a hindrance, he couldn't stop him?

The sky-high asking price, the landing to pay back!

Thirteen floors are too high, then eleven floors, if the eleventh floor still doesn't agree, the nine layers and seven floors are okay, for Tang Xuanwan, his psychological floor price is five layers. And the outer bread bricks are also fine.

The five-story floating slaughter is interesting enough, what do you want! Tang Xuanwan is not an unreasonable person, this is not waiting to bargain with Wang Ping'an!

Tang Xuanwan didn't squeak, but Huizheng spoke, his brain was not fast enough, and he didn't have a very specific concept of money, and he thought that Wang Ping'an was omnipotent, he had money, and he could have as much as he wanted, so when he heard Wang Ping'an say that he wanted copper, he was overjoyed!

Hui Zheng shouted: "Uncle Shi, you actually built a thirteen-story Tongtian floating slaughterhouse, and you also have to cover copper, isn't this the biggest good deed in the world ever!" Amitabha, uncle, the Buddha will bless you with a long life, never enter reincarnation, and enjoy eternal bliss. Carefree! When there was trouble, he also shouted: "There is no need to go down to the eighteen layers of hell!" ”

Wang Ping'an's face turned green, there is no need to do this, what I said is the opposite, you can take it seriously, what kind of understanding ability is this!

Li Yiren was also taken aback, although she also had no concept of money and things, but she also knew that Wang Ping'an could not afford to build such a wild goose pagoda no matter what.

Hui Zheng screamed, and Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang behind also heard it, Wu Meiniang walked over quickly and asked, "Uncle, do you want to build Tongtian Futu?" ”

Li Zhi also walked over and asked, "What is the Tongtian Floating Slaughter, isn't it just a wild goose pagoda, how did it become the construction of the Tongtian Floating Slaughter?" ”

Wang Ping'an was in a hurry and said, "No"

Tang Xuanwan interrupted him and said, "Senior brother, you have killed too many beings outside the Guan, and you have sinned a lot, you should have been sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, and you should have suffered forever in the Abi Hell, but if you can build this Heavenly Floating Slaughter, then all the sins can be eliminated, and you can jump out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, go to the Western Elysium, and listen to the teachings of the Buddha!" ”

Wang Ping'an almost jumped up, how sinful am I, I haven't killed anyone, I haven't even ordered a war! I'm going to hell, so there's no heavenly reason!

Facts have proved that the principles of heaven are in the hands of the majority, and if everyone says that you have to go to hell, then you have to go down, and if you don't, you have to kick you down! Xuan said: If you don't go to hell, do you want us to go down?

Be well-behaved, go to hell honestly!

Li Zhi sighed and said, "No disease, you are so generous!" Lone has to say, you are indeed a character, among my Tang courtiers, you rank first! ”

Li Yiren also said: "No disease, you are really good, I thought you were joking just now!" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Uncle, do what you can!" ”

Hui Zheng and Youyi recited the Buddha number in unison, and bowed to Wang Ping'an at the Buddhist gate!

Qiu Renjie stretched out his hand and didn't say anything, but the meaning was obvious, don't be weak big brother, I'll help you!

Ji Ping'an pushed Qiu Renjie's hand away and shouted, "Can you let me finish speaking!" When did I say that I was going to build a floating slaughterhouse, I didn't say that! ”

Tang Xuanzhi sighed and said, "Senior brother, what you just said!" You say, why bother to build a tower of blue bricks, it is best to cover the whole tower with copper, so it is more solid, the thirteen-story copper tower, it looks golden, which is in line with your identity, senior brother, "This is your original words, senior brother, I can say a word wrong?" ”

Wang Ping'an's mouth was open and couldn't be closed, what he said just now was angry, and he didn't remember what he said, and now Tang Xuanwan "repeated" He couldn't remember if he said that just now!

Tang Xuanwan smiled at him, you can't remember the original words, in fact, I don't remember either, but I can't say it directly, isn't it okay to "say"!

Wang Ping'an looked at Li Yiren and said, "I, did you say it?" ”

Li Yiren saw that Wang Ping'an wanted to pay the bill, this was her future concubine, how could he be embarrassed! She shook her head and said, "I didn't hear it, you didn't say it!" ”

The favor and the trouble said together: "I said it, princess, you heard it!" ”

Tang Xuanwan's face was straight, and he recited Amitabha Buddha first. Only then did he solemnly say to Li Yi: "Princess, if you lie and deceive people, you will go to hell to pull out your tongue, but fortunately, tongue pulling hell is the first layer, just pull out your tongue, don't be too afraid!" ”

Li Yiren believes in karma, and even more in all kinds of legends after death, she is afraid. Quickly shaking her head, she said, "Okay, it's not that I didn't hear it, but I didn't hear it clearly!" ”

She lowered her head and was unsick. I can't help you, who let you talk nonsense, anyway, you have money, and you can fool others into paying money, so you should break the fortune and avoid disaster. This is really a disaster to avoid. You may be spared the plague of Hell, and you may be spared mine!"

Wang Ping'an stalked his neck, but he didn't admit it, he said: "You all heard it wrong, I didn't say such a thing!" ”

Tang Xuanwan sighed and said:

You are a lay disciple, but you are ordained in the White Horse Temple, and you also don't recognize the words of the Buddhist disciples, and your mouth is full of firewood, which is a crime of lying precepts. If the person who has taken the vows violates the vows, he has to stop the fire. Hell's. Volcanic Hell is the sixteenth level. It's very close to the hell of Ahbi! ”

Everyone looked at Wang Ping'an together and took pity on him. Look at this trouble, you said a word, it doesn't matter if you remember it yourself or not, but let the family remember it, and as a result, you will have to go to sixteen layers of hell, why do you say you have to suffer!

Wang Ping'an's face was red and green, green and black, he pointed at Tang Xuan, and said, "I can't tell you!" ”

Tang Xuanwan nodded, thinking, "It's good that you have self-knowledge." "Until now. He hasn't met anyone who can speak of him!

Wu Meiniang knew that it would not be her turn to speak at this time, but she had to support her uncle head-on, everyone watched the excitement, but she couldn't. She said: "Uncle, to build such a floating temple, the cost is a small matter, you are generous and bold, and you advocate Buddhism, you will not be stingy."

，

Everyone looked at her together, and added to her in their hearts: "But", "However, the time will take longer, it is better for you to build this Tongtian Floating Buddha while turning the fate, I think it will take fifty years at most, it will be about the same." If the master of the Xuan class can't wait for fifty years, then it is better to build an ordinary wild goose pagoda first, build the tower first, and then slowly wrap it with copper, or rebuild it to increase the height of the existing one, you think? Wu Meiniang finished her words in a slow voice.

Hey, that's a good thing to say! Tongtian Futu is to be repaired. But it will take 50 years. Master Xuanwan, if you have patience, then wait slowly!

When everyone heard her finish speaking, they almost applauded together!

Tang Xuanwan sighed, he didn't take this little woman seriously from the first time he saw her, he thought that she was just a little palace maid wearing men's clothes, and there was no reason to pay attention to her! But what surprised him was that among these people, the most powerful person turned out to be this little woman, who was really unseemly!

Wang Ping'an will only admit it, but he can't quibble about Tang Xuan's award, and although Qiu Renjie is smart, he has been watching Wang Ping'an's reaction at this time, taking Wang Ping'an's horse as a prospect, and the little princess is afraid when she is scared, the prince is the most resolute and has always behaved consistently. If you say you don't have an idea, you don't have an idea, no matter what others say. I just don't have an idea, I love it!

But this little woman didn't blink her eyelids, only said a few words, and rescued Wang Ping'an from hell, and instead beat Tang Xuanwan's army, just like playing polo, with a swing of the club, she hit the polo on Tang Xuanwan's brain!

Tang Xuan looked Wu Meiniang up and down, thinking: "It's not simple, I couldn't care about her just now, miscalculated!" Do you want me to tell her a few allusions first, so that she can follow my Buddha and become my disciple? ”

The happiest among the people is Li Zhi, Wu Meiniang saved Wang Ping'an with one mouth, and the rescue was extremely exciting, which is admirable! He clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "Yes, yes, just take fifty years as the limit, and let this Tongtian floating slaughter be built without disease!" He looked at Wu Meiniang and liked her even more in his heart.

Qiu Renjie also smiled and said, "Fifty years is only, it's very short, with a flick of a finger, the master of the Xuan class can afford to wait!" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Wu Meiniang, and thought in his heart: "It's not simple." This Sister Xiaowu didn't admit it in vain, she was really a great woman, with a lively mind and sharp words. No wonder the eldest brother likes her, she really has something extraordinary. Fortunately, she is a woman, if a man can still participate in the scientific examination, "then we people really don't have to mix!" ”

Li Yiren clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, just use fifty years to build the tower!" She first took Wu Meiniang's hand to show affection, and then said to Tang Xuan: "Master Xuanfan, if I agree to you without illness, it won't be considered a precept, and you don't have to go to hell!" ”

Tang Xuanzhi blinked, although he was very able to speak, but in the face of Wu Meiniang's words, he couldn't crack it in a hurry. But how experienced he is. And even if he only built a thirteen-story brick tower, it was far beyond his expectations.

Very generously, Tang Xuanying nodded and said, "Then take fifty years as the limit, and the junior brother will build a copper tower and come out!" However, before the construction of the copper tower. You might as well build the inner embryo of Tongtian Futu first, that is, the thirteen-story wild goose pagoda, what do you think? ”

Wang Ping'an glanced at Wu Meiniang and thought, "Fifty years later, the Tongtian Floating Slaughter will be built?" This is a glorious and arduous task, and I will leave it to you, uncle! ”

Before Wang Ping'an answered, Li Zhi smiled and said: "Cheng, then build a thirteen-story wild goose pagoda first, in fact, it doesn't matter whether it is covered with copper or not, just by virtue of the height of the thirteenth floor, this wild goose pagoda can already be called Tongtian Futu, the day the tower was built, the name was inscribed by Lone himself, and the four introductions of Tongtian Futu were written." Word! ”

Wang Ban'an thought: "You are generous, it's not you who fooled those rich people!" He squeezed out a smile, clasped his palms together, and said to Tang Xuanwan: "Senior brother, this time I don't need to go to Abi Hell, right?" ”

Tang Xuanji sighed and said, "Hell is not empty, you will not become a Buddha, all living beings will be exhausted, and you will be a Bodhi." Senior brother, you don't go to hell halfway, push three and four, your intentions are insincere, why don't you shave your degree early, enter the empty door, senior brother, I can help you! ”

Wang Ping'an's face was bitter, and he said lightly, if you say so, then you will have to go to hell, it is better for our brothers to be companions and go to hell together, but it is not lonely.

The crowd laughed and said no more about hell. Li Yiren took Wang Ping'an's idea as her own, took everyone out, went out of the Inspiration Temple, pointed to the surrounding land, and talked about buying land and building a street.

When Li Zhi heard this idea, he was surprised, and said that this couldn't be the little sister who came up with it, this kind of good business of sitting and collecting money, except for Wang Ping'an, no one in the whole Datang could think of it!

Their brother and sister are not scheming, but Qiu Renjie is very scheming.

He walked in the crowd, but from time to time he went to see Wu Meiniang. Seeing that Wu Meiniang returned to her regular expression. Bow your head and walk at the end, and be an entourage in your duty.

Just now, Qiu Renjie only thought she was a lovely woman and liked her eldest brother, but now she doesn't think so. At first, he thought that Wu Meiniang knew how to advance and retreat, and understood the rules, but now he has a feeling that Wu Meiniang is deeply hidden, if this person is a man, I am afraid that if the people present add a piece, they can't compare to her!

Qiu Renjie thought to himself: "The eldest brother is really good eyesight, marrying the princess as his wife, that is the emperor's arrangement, and it is a good marriage." But if he marries this woman as a concubine again, it is his own ability, this kind of good woman marries home, and she is full of virtuous help! I don't know if she has any sisters. Wouldn't it be good to introduce me to a good man and let me get help from within the country! ”
