Chapter 151: Temple Treasure of Tianning Town
Before the king could speak, Han Derong said puzzledly: "This master, my son-in-law has just arrived here, and he obviously made a mistake just now, and lost a few wines from our brother, why are you so polite." ”
Zhi Kejun pulled Han Derong: "Don't talk nonsense, Gongzi has never argued with reasonable people, it seems that this master has a reason to talk to Gongzi." "Han Derong has just followed Wang Pan for a few days, so he naturally doesn't know that Wang Pan is extremely easy to the people around him, but he has a requirement not to offend the living.
Wang Bei felt that it was nothing, and reported to his family and said: "This master, who has no words next to the next surname of Wang, has just come from the Song Kingdom and is going to Beijing to do business. ”
Qi Song smiled slightly, he saw that the king was also a kind person, not only good but also seemed to be different, so he invited: "Even so, if you want to come to the donor and have a relationship with this temple, it is better to invite the donor to sit in the meditation room, I don't know if the donor can appreciate the light." ”
Among the four people were in different moods, the king felt that it didn't matter, and walked in; Zhi Kejun was a little suspicious, he knew that he had to be more careful on this trip, so inexplicably a monk talked, it was not very safe, the other two admired Wang Bei, this just entered the Liao country, and someone invited him to visit the temple, and Wang Shilang was so full of face wherever he went.
Cigarettes curling in the meditation room, Qi Song invited the king to sit down, the little monk in the temple brought tea, in fact, if Qi Song did not invite the king, the king will also find an opportunity to talk to Qi Song, just now I don't know if the king can be a person who predicts the future, it did attract the attention of the king,
Tianwang Temple was built in the fifth century when Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the original name Guanglin Temple, Sui Renshou two years (602) called Hongye Temple, Tang Kaiyuan changed to Tianwang Temple, Jin Dading twenty-one years (1181) changed its name to Dawan'an Temple, the temple of the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed in the fire, the temple was not extinction, the Ming Yongle rebuilt, Xuande was renamed Tianning Temple and has been used until the descendants,
Qi Song saw that the king was behaving well, and heard him just say the name of Tianning Temple, so he was curious and asked: "How does the donor know that this tower of this temple will be called Tianning Temple Tower." ”
When the king saw this, he said with a smile: "When I passed by this place and saw that this tower was very exquisite, handsome and upright, majestic and magnificent, this name came to my heart. ”
Obviously, Qi Song did not believe Wang Bei's statement, and he asked: "The donor said that this tower is exquisite, but there are other reasons. ”
Wang saw Qi Song asking, the heart of the doubt Qi Song knew the reason, he thought about it: "I see the Tianning Temple tower visual inspection tower is twenty or thirty zhang high, the octagonal thirteen layers of the door on both sides of the carving of Vajra Lux, Bodhisattva, Yunlong, etc., the statue shape is vivid, lifelike, thirteen layers of tower eaves layer by layer reduction, showing a rich and powerful scroll, the whole tower shape is handsome and upright, majestic and magnificent, so I feel exquisite. ”
Qi Song nodded while listening: "The donor knows the mystery of this thirteen-story tower. ”
How can this test the king's side: "The tower is generally a "seventh-level floating slaughter", and the thirteenth floor is the highest level, which is generally a royal charter. After Wang said speaking, he looked at Qi Song and looked at Qi Song, thinking that if I was not modest, I was afraid that this monk would not say anything, so he respectfully asked: "I only know so much in the next place, and I hope that the master will give me advice." ”
"Amitabha, the donor already knows a lot about this tower, that is, you say the tower of Tianning Temple, it is related to this temple, and it depends on whether the temple can avoid a catastrophe depends on whether the donor is willing to make a move, if it is difficult to escape it is also the will of God."
Wang listened to Qi Song's tone, it seemed that the matter was very important, and it was related to the future name, he said without thinking: "Even if this is the case, please ask the master for guidance, if you can do it in the future, you must do your best." ”
Qi Song nodded and said: "Buddhism pays attention to fate, and today I have the fate to meet the donor, and the old man has something to ask for." He narrowed his eyes, as if thinking of something very old,
Wang looked at Qi Song's expression, it seemed that this matter was quite troublesome, but saw that Qi Song did not speak, but dipped his hand in a little water, drew a Tai Chi pattern on the table, and asked: "This figure is a Taoist saying, if it is not a Taoist, what does the donor think." ”
Now the king was a little stunned, in addition to the Taoist theory, what he knew was that this yin and yang pierced the ancient Yue Jin Stone, should he hide it from this monk, if he didn't say that he would miss an opportunity to find the Yue Jin Stone,
He thought for a moment and made up his mind and said, "In the lower eye, if it weren't for Taoism, I think it should be an ornament." ”
After listening to it, Qi Song took a long breath and said: "Sure enough, it is a fateful person, and it seems that there is hope for finding the treasure of the town temple." ”
The treasure of the town temple is none other than this ancient and modern stone, "Please make it clear to the master." The king hurriedly and respectfully said,
Qi Song stood up, he paced back and forth a few steps in the middle of the release and asked, "May I ask the donor who claimed to be the king just now, but there is a famous Wang Shilang in the capital who came to envoy to the Liao State." ”
"Exactly down there."
Qi Song turned his head, stared at the king closely, and said, "It seems that Wang Shilang is the person this temple is looking for, maybe only you can find the treasure of this temple." ”
This monk is really verbose, Wang Bei can't wait for him to say it immediately, but he understands that he can't be in a hurry at this time, so how can he give this monk a little buffer.
Qi Song finally made up his mind, he said: "I also heard that Wang Shilang is a righteous person, so I have this request today, no matter what, for the sake of the peace of the world, Wang Shilang has to promise Lao Gao." ”
When the king heard it, how could the treasure of a town temple even bring in the peace of the world: "Master rest assured, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." ”
Qi Song saw that the king said this, so he was relieved, what can he do if he is not at ease, this matter is very important, since the king is here today, he can entrust it to pay but a wish: "Oh, I said it directly, the treasure of the town temple in the early days of the construction of this temple is a strange stone, and the treasure of the town temple is sealed on the thirteenth floor of the tower, my master called me into the room before he passed away, and told me one thing." ”
Qi Song said while recalling the past:
"At that time, the master told me that when he put the stone into the tower with his own hands, he seemed to see this temple, which would be renamed Tianning Temple, and seemed to see a fire that burned the temple and the tower, and then he secretly went to see the stone again, and quietly felt the revelation, the place where the temple is located is the place where the world is peaceful, and in a few years there will be sword soldiers from the north, once it crosses the land of Yanyun, the Central Plains will be devastated, and the world will be in chaos."
Wang Bi was puzzled in his heart, this land of Yanyun is really like this, when the golden soldiers rode across the sixteen states of Yanyun, that is, when the Great Song Dynasty perished, "Is there no solution?" The king asked,
"Method, the world is divided and combined, how can there be any way, but the master believes that as long as there is the treasure of the temple, it will definitely be able to hold this place, before the master passed away, he specially instructed me to take care of this treasure, alas."
Listening to Qi Song's sigh, he knew that there must be no good thing, if this treasure was there, there would be no heavy trust, and the king restrained the idea of wanting to see the ancient stone hidden on his chest: "It must be an accident." ”
"Well, one day five years ago, Master went up to the tower again, but ...... Alas, the stone is gone. ”
The king guessed that this was the result, but he still pretended to be surprised and said, "What is going on?" ”
"Master said to me: In the future, there will be a person who is an official in the Song Kingdom, knowing that this tower will be called Tianning Temple, he can find the stone, and he will pass away after speaking, I have been paying attention to the people who are officials in the Song Kingdom everywhere in recent years, and I will ask if I come here for anything, can I know the name of this tower, I heard that there is a Wang Shilang who is going to envoy to the Liao State, and I will pay attention to the monks in the temple, and when I see Wang Shilang, you are just saying the name of this tower, and it is really the will of heaven, Amitabha."
The old monk finally finished speaking, the king looked at him and didn't look like he was going to die, if he died, he would be in big trouble, and then he knew the secret of the temple, he had to go home, then simply, his name was Qi Song, and I called the Dharma name angry.
But the king thought again, if Qi Song's master happened to take Yue Jinshi with him when he passed away, then Yue Jinshi would definitely not be in the Song Dynasty, how could he find it, and if he thought about it again, he would not have seen that he would come here if Qi Song's master had Yue Jinshi, and he was also the one who found Yue Jinshi.
How should I find it next, did I really find the Yue Jin Stone and put it in this temple, Wang Bi suddenly felt that this was the biggest thing since he came to the Song Dynasty, and it was even bigger than the danger that the Liao State might encounter when he sent an envoy to the Liao State in front of him.
He calmed down his emotions for a while, and asked Qi Song: "Master, before losing this treasure of the town temple, did anyone ever go to the tower?" ”
Qi Song thought about it carefully: "In those days, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Zongzhen and Yelu Zongyuan, both poured incense in the temple to pray for blessings, and Yelu Zongyuan's son was also there, and the three of them went up to the tower with a few guards at that time. ”
This is troublesome, there are so many suspects, and Yelu Zong is really dead, in case he can't get it back in his hands, no matter what, he has to find it himself, "In that case, can you bother Master Lao to take me to the tower to have a look." "The king made a request, although he had been here in his previous life, but it was very important, and he wanted to see where the stone of the treasure of the town tower was placed.
Qi Song leads the king to the tower: this Tianning Temple tower tower is fifty or sixty meters high, the overall structure from bottom to top is: pedestal, flat seat, Yang Lotus, tower body, thirteen layers of eaves, tower top, pearl, tower stop, the base of the tower is a square platform, the bottom is the Sumeru seat, the door of the girdle part of the Sumeru seat is carved with the head of the lion beast, the relief of the pillar is entangled with the lotus pattern, the corner is carved with the statue of Vajra Lux again, a girdle is added to the Sumeru seat, the Buddha statue is carved in the door, the pillar and the corner are carved with the statue of Vajra Lux in the corner, the upper part of the base is a flat seat, the hook rail, the bucket are all imitation wood structure, then on the application of three layers of the lotus seat to support the tower body, the four fronts of the tower body open the arch, the door side brick carving king statue, the remaining four sides are mullioned windows, the window side brick carving Bodhisattva statue, the image is vivid, under the eaves of each layer of the tower imitates the wood structure of the double copy brick carving bucket, the top of the tower with two layers of octagonal lotus on the small Sumeru seat bearing the treasure beads,
Fortunately, the king did not dare to be too lax in his daily practice, climbed up to the thirteenth floor in one breath, and when Qi Song came up, he pointed to a wall on the east side, there was a Buddha shrine on the wall, he gently pushed and twisted, and the Buddha shrine removed part of the base, and there was a wooden box inside: "This is where the treasure of the town temple was stored in the past." Che Song pointed to the wooden box and said,
