Not long after Tang Xiu and the three of them arrived at the Great Ci'en Temple, there was a sporadic light rain in the sky, but Tang Xiu's tour was in high spirits, and he had no intention of turning around and returning to the inn.

The Great Mercy Grace Temple was built in the 22nd year of Zhenguan, it is the current emperor, Li Zhi, who was still the prince at that time, built in order to commemorate his biological mother, the eldest grandson queen, covers an area of 46 acres, there are thousands of rooms, it is the most magnificent temple in Chang'an City.

In his previous life, Tang Xiu also came, but that temple has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain and I don't know how many times it has been repaired, far less intuitive and shocking than the brand-new temple that has only been built for less than six years.

Especially the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which has just been built in the West Courtyard for less than two years, makes Tang Xiu feel inexplicable.

The tower has seven floors, the tower is 64.5 meters high, this is the data recorded by Tang Xiu when he visited the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in later generations, and now Tang Xiu led Pei Cai'er and Wan'er to stand at the foot of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, looking up at the most primitive style of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sixty-four .5 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a 21-storey building in later generations, it is really hard to imagine how such a towering pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty, where there was no reinforced concrete.

"It's so high! If you stand on the top of the tower, you should be able to see the whole of Chang'an, right? ”

Wan'er raised her head and marveled, since she was a child, she had never seen such a tall pavilion, standing under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, making her feel so small.

The sky is drizzling, standing in the rain of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the upper half of the tower body seems to be wrapped in a layer of misty smoke, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the more mysterious.

Because of the rain, most of the believers who came to worship the Buddha in the temple have dispersed, and in the west courtyard, under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, now only Tang Xiu and the three of them are left, and they have no intention of leaving.

"Let's go in and have a look."

The rain did not disturb Tang Xiu's interest, in the rain and fog, the smoke and rain were misty, but it stimulated his mind and interest in wanting to climb high and overlook, and Tang Xiu raised his feet and walked towards the entrance of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this, right?"

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Cai'er also followed, they have been here for so long, and they have not seen anyone enter or come out of the tower, they are so bold to go over, they will not be stopped by the monks in the tower, right?

Compared with Pei Cai'er's worries, Wan'er didn't think about it so much, from the moment she saw the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, she had the urge to climb to the top of the tower, and now that her uncle is taking the lead in front, she is naturally happy to follow behind and enjoy it.

"Three donors, please stay." As soon as Tang Xiu and the others reached the door of the first floor, they saw a little novice coming out of it and blocking their way with his hands together, and the little novice bowed down and said: "This pagoda is an important place for Buddhism, and non-monks of this temple are not allowed to enter, please move the three donors to move elsewhere." ”

"The little master is polite." Tang Xiu bent down and saluted back, and said solemnly: "We are here under the guidance of the Buddha, sweeping the floating slaughter in the floating slaughter tower, a broom, and sweeping it ladder by ladder, will never damage any utensils in the tower, I hope the little master can accommodate one or two." ”

Xiao Shami did not give face at all, and politely refused: "If the donor wants to visit the Buddha, you can go to the Daxiong Hall in the front yard, the pagoda is a quiet place for our institute to translate the scriptures, and no one can be allowed to enter or exit, please be considerate of the donor." ”

Translating the scriptures?

Tang Xiu was stunned for a moment, remembering the explanations made by the local tour guide when he went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda a few times ago, and couldn't help but show a clear smile on his face, "But you are translating the Buddhist scriptures that Master Xuanzang brought back from Tianzhu Kingdom?" 657 Buddhist scriptures, I don't know how many have been translated in your temple now? ”

Xiao Shami glanced at Tang Xiu in surprise, and saluted again: "The donor has a heart, since the donor knows everything, then he naturally understands the importance of this tower to my Mercy and Grace Temple, and please don't make it difficult for the little monk to move." ”

Although the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built to store Buddhist scriptures, but at the beginning of the construction has been in the stage of secrecy, now the pagoda is just beginning, after half a year of decoration, dehumidification, dust removal and insect and moth prevention treatment, until last month began to transfer the Buddhist scriptures one after another, has not had time to officially announce to the believers, so the little novice is very curious about how the benefactor in front of him knows.

There are also the specific number of Buddhist scriptures, and there are not many people who know it, except for some elders in the temple and some important royal relatives, ordinary people, including Xiao Shami, who guards the tower here, are not very clear, so after listening to Tang Xiu talk about the number of six hundred and fifty-seven, Xiao Shami will feel a little surprised, and directly regard Tang Xiu and them as the descendants of a certain royal family, and his attitude towards the three of them has become more and more respectful.

"It's fine." Tang Xiu nodded in disappointment, turned around and was about to leave, and sighed softly as he walked up: "It's a pity that the Buddha and his old man have given Xiaosheng a piece of guidance, and originally wanted to send this Big Wild Goose Pagoda a Buddha trace, but now he can only do it." ”

Buddha relics?

Xiao Shami shook his head lightly with some amusement, this noble son is really a big mouth, even the abbot Xuanzang didn't dare to boast about such a big sea mouth, this son dared to say something big at a young age, it was really a little unbelievable.

Knowing that Tang Xiu's words were to attract him to be fooled, Xiao Shami pretended not to hear anything, and directly bowed to the three people who were about to leave and said, "Congratulations to the three donors!" ”

"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust! It's that I'm thinking too much, so it's better to leave! ”

After speaking, Tang Xiu didn't look back, and strode out, while Pei Cai'er and Wan'er followed behind in confusion, completely not understanding the meaning of the few sentences that Tang Xiu had just chanted that seemed to be poetry and not poetry.

"Amitabha, three laymen, please stay!"

Tang Xiu hadn't taken a few steps before he heard a loud and clear Buddha number coming from the pagoda behind him, the corners of Tang Xiu's mouth hooked, and his footsteps stopped, and he finally fished out this person.

This time in order to climb the tower, he can be regarded as a painstaking, even the "Bodhi Ben Wushu" this famous Buddha has been taken out, if the people inside do not come out to stop them, it can only mean that the monks hiding inside are also laymen, and he had to lead his daughter-in-law back to the inn.

Fortunately, there are always people who know the goods in this temple of mercy and grace, and they quickly realized the meaning of the Buddha and left their words.

Tang Xiu and the three of them turned around and saw a fat monk walking out of it, and when they saw Tang Xiu, their faces showed a burst of astonishment undisguisedly, obviously they didn't expect that the person who could say 'Bodhi Ben Wushu' was such a young teenager.

"Host!" Beside him, the little novice who had stopped Tang Xiu just now respectfully saluted the fat monk, but his title to this big monk made Tang Xiu startled.

Preside?!

At this time, the host of the Great Ci'en Temple should be Tang Xuanzang, right? Could it be that this great monk is the legendary Master Xuanzang?

All of a sudden, Tang Xiu began to become unsettled, Tang Sanzang, the legendary golden cicada that can live forever with one bite appeared in front of him so alive, no one can negotiate with anyone, right?
