The pearl on the pagoda, this is the idea of Buddha beads in "Journey to the West", and now the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is taken out by Tang Xiu and sold to Tang Xuanzang, which can be regarded as a kind of fate.

"First, you have to find a glow-in-the-dark pearl." Under Master Xuanzang's earnest gaze, Tang Xiu said bluntly: "Be careful, it's not the kind of luminous beads that can shine in itself, it must be the kind that will shine after seeing the light, and the size must be as big as possible, at least bigger than an adult's fist, in short, the bigger the better." ”

"Luminous Pearls?"

Hearing what Tang Xiu said about the Buddha spectrum illumination actually needed something like luminous beads, Xuanzang's face began to become a little ugly, not that he couldn't find it, although this kind of thing is precious and scarce, but here in the royal temple, behind the current emperor stands His Majesty, it is not difficult for Xuanzang to find a few luminous beads.

However, if the Buddha miracle that Tang Xiu said was just a faint light emitted by the luminous bead in the night, its light would not be able to travel more than ten miles away, and it would be good to be able to see it in Ci'en, it would not be a Buddha miracle at all, at most it would be a show.

This Tang Xiu can't be deliberately tricking him, right?

Seeing that Xuanzang's complexion was different, Tang Xiu said softly: "Of course, this is only the first step, after all, although the luminous pearl has bright light, its irradiation range is limited, and it is far from achieving the effect required by the Buddha's miracle." ”

"The second step, and the most critical step in the whole plan." Tang Xiu said: "Find a few completely transparent crystal stones, let the craftsmen in the city polish all these stones into transparent lenses that are thick in the middle and thin at the perimeter, and then according to my design, combine these lenses with the selected luminous beads and put them on the spire of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, this matter is considered preliminary." ”

"It's as simple as that?"

Seeing that Tang Xiu had finished explaining the matter in a few words, Xuanzang's heart couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, a luminous bead and a few lenses can create a Buddha trace that shines with the light of the Buddha, it's impossible, right?

"It sounds simple, but it's not something that can be done overnight." Tang Xiu shook his head slightly, and said: "If you want to choose the kind of luminous pearl that shines stronger and stronger the light, in addition to needing strong financial resources, you also need a little bit of luck, if the time is not good, it is already good that an ordinary luminous pearl can shine within a radius of a few miles." ”

"There is also that kind of crystal stone that is completely transparent, although it is also extremely precious, but it is not very difficult to find it according to the strength behind the Great Ci'en Temple, but it is definitely not so easy to polish them all into a mirror surface with a convex middle and flat sides and a uniform specification and size, even if it is the top craftsman in Chang'an City, don't want to make them without three or two months of effort."

Although the convex lens is not complicated, it is even a toy used by some children to roast ants in later generations, but here, in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,400 years ago, it was not difficult to make it.

There is no glass, no chemically synthesized resin, polyester and other materials, you can only rely on some naturally formed transparent crystals, not to mention whether this kind of stone is difficult to find, that is, to find them, want to polish them to be transparent before and after, without a trace of flaws, it is also quite difficult.

Tang Xiu actually didn't have much bottom in his heart when he said this idea, because of this convex lens, he didn't know if the craftsmen of this era could make it.

"You can rest assured of these things," unlike Tang Xiu's worries, Xuanzang didn't have a trace of burden in his heart, "I have one in the Temple of Mercy and Grace in the Luminous Pearl, if it is not suitable, I will find another way, if there is a great Tang Dynasty, it is impossible not to even find a usable luminous bead." ”

"As for the kind of transparent stone you mentioned, although it is not common, I have seen some dignitaries drink with this kind of thing at some banquets more than once, it is crystal clear, and the appearance is also very exquisite, and it is not difficult to find these stones."

"If you polish, there are many masters of polishing jade in Chang'an City, not to mention just letting them polish into simple objects that are thick in the middle and thin on both sides, even if they are not difficult to carve dragons and phoenixes on them."

Speaking of this, Xuanzang waved his big hand and said in a fixed voice: "Give me ten days, and I will send someone to you for everything." ”

After speaking, Xuanzang glanced at Tang Xiu again and said: "I hope what you said is not lying to me, otherwise when the time comes, my Ci'en Temple will spend so much financial resources and manpower but will not get what you want, Tang Jushi, you should understand the consequences without me thinking about it." ”

Behind the Temple of Mercy and Grace stands the emperor, Xuanzang must get the emperor's permission in advance if he wants to do these things, if he can't do it at that time, or the effect is not ideal, a charge of bullying the monarch will definitely not be able to escape.

In the past two years, although the political situation of the Tang Dynasty has been stable, but the natural disasters in various places are also continuous, first the drought, then the flood, and even some places have several strong earthquakes, especially last month, when the emperor went to the Linyou Wannian Palace, he even encountered a flash flood, the water entered the dormitory, and more than 3,000 people died overnight.

Now there are rumors that the Son of Heaven does not do anything and that disasters have fallen from heaven. Although the rumors are not true, if they are not contained, let him grow from small to large, and over time, there will even be a danger of shaking the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

So at this time, Li Zhi especially needed some auspicious things to stabilize his position as the Son of Heaven and appease the hearts of some subordinates who had begun to fluctuate.

Therefore, if this Buddhist miracle can really be done, Xuanzang believes that the emperor will be overjoyed, and the status of his Ci'en Temple in Chang'an City will become more and more stable, and the number of believers and sesame oil money will also increase day by day.

"Master Xuanzang, rest assured." Knowing what Xuanzang was thinking, Tang Xiu said lightly: "I won't leave Chang'an for the next few days, until the matter is done." And this matter has been done, the credit is all to Master Xuanzang, and Tang will not be greedy for credit. In case things don't work out, Master Xuanzang can also put all the blame on Tang, and Tang will never quibble. ”

"It's just that if this Buddha miracle is really done, I hope that Master Xuanzang can keep this secret for me, and I don't want anyone to know that this Buddha miracle has anything to do with someone in my Tang Dynasty."

"It's nature." Xuanzang said as a matter of course: "All this is the guidance of the Buddha, and it is the emperor's filial piety that moves the heavens and attracts the attention of the Western Buddha, which is why this Buddha light shines on the Buddha to show the benevolence and filial piety of the emperor today." Therefore, this Buddhist miracle not only has nothing to do with Tang Jushi, but even the poor monk, the host of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, does not know at all. ”

When Xuanzang said these words, his back was folded, and his treasure was solemn, and he restored the appearance of his generation of monks.

Seeing Xuanzang's appearance, the corners of Tang Xiu's mouth twitched a little, telling lies and patting the emperor's ass did not change his face and heartbeat, and it was so smooth, obviously it was not the first time that Master Xuanzang had done this.

At this time, Tang Xiu really wanted to open his mouth and ask Xuanzang: Master Xuanzang, didn't you say that the family doesn't speak, what are you talking about now?
