Father and mother are kind, the Temple of Mercy and Grace is the current emperor Li Zhi in order to commemorate his biological mother Empress Wende built, every New Year's Festival, or every time the birthday of the eldest grandson Empress died, Li Zhi will come to this Temple of Mercy and Grace to pray for blessings, less than one day, more than three days, thunder can not move.

After more than a month, it is the death day of the eldest grandson empress, if it is to that day, the night after the emperor enters the temple, the Buddha light on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda shines, and the Buddha traces in the Temple of Mercy and Grace are revealed, which will inevitably cause a sensation in the whole world.

Therefore, for Tang Xiu's plan, Xuanzang was quite eager in his heart, if he could really do it and achieve the effect they expected, then the emperor would be happy, and the Temple of Mercy and Grace would definitely become a pilgrimage place for all temples in the entire Tang Dynasty.

In fact, even if he didn't meet Tang Xiu and his party today, Xuanzang already had the intention of creating a Buddhist miracle in his heart, but until now he has not thought of a better idea, and he is worried that when the time comes, he will be exposed because the means are not clever enough, then it will really be a waste of rice, so during this period of time, in addition to the daily translation of Buddhist scriptures, Xuanzang has also been worried about the right Buddhist relics.

Otherwise, with Xuanzang's current identity, if he hadn't listened to Tang Xiu recite the Buddha's prayers and talk about the Buddha's deeds, how could he have met three ordinary pilgrims so easily?

If you talk about the reason, it is nothing more than a sudden illness and rushing to the doctor.

Fortunately, Tang Xiu did not disappoint him, the idea proposed by Tang Xiu is deeply in line with Xuanzang's mind, what kind of Buddha relics can be more suitable than the Buddha's light that shines all night? That's it!

Instructed the little novice below to lead Tang Xiu and the three of them to the small courtyard of the West Garden that he had just promised Tang Xiu, Xuanzang immediately began to gather several major elders in the temple to discuss the materials needed for the Buddhist relics, and strive to be able to prepare all the things within ten days, and then asked Tang Xiu to assemble and debug, as far as possible in the middle of the next month, before the death of Empress Changsun.

It is related to the future and future of Ci'en Temple, and even the future and future of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang does not dare to be sloppy at all.

Tang Xiu and the three of them followed this little novice called meditation all the way forward, passing through one arch after another, and walked for nearly a quarter of an hour but still not arrived, although the scenery in the Temple of Mercy and Grace was good, but now it was raining heavily, and the umbrella in his hand could not cover it at all, and the shoes and hems under the feet of the four people had all been wet.

Tang Xiu's face began to show black lines, knowing that the Temple of Mercy and Grace was very large, much larger than the one rebuilt in the later generations, but how could he not expect this temple to be so big, they came all the way, and walked almost in a straight line, but they had walked for more than ten minutes and still did not see the side wall of the temple.

It is truly a royal temple, and this area alone is luxurious enough.

"Master Jingxin, are you almost there?" Noticing the unhappy look on Tang Xiu's face, Pei Cai'er whispered to the quiet little monk in front of her.

Jingxin's footsteps did not stop, and he turned his head sideways and replied respectfully: "Don't worry, the three donors are in a hurry, after two more courtyards, you will be in front." ”

"This temple is really big enough, and the rooms look like a lot, and our manor is a palm-sized place compared to here." Wan'er was not in a hurry, her two eyes kept scanning the courtyard they had passed, and her little face was full of amazement.

"The female benefactor is really discerning." Hearing Wan'er's exclamation, a proud smile appeared on Jingxin's face, and he explained to Wan'er softly: "Our temple covers an area of more than 400 acres, and 1,897 Buddhist houses have been built, which is the largest of all the temples near Chang'an. ”

It can be seen that being able to become a monk in such a large monastery with a flourishing incense is very satisfying, and even a little proud.

More than 400 acres, Tang Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing it, it seems that Wan'er's words are not bad, their manor of only more than 20 acres is compared with here, it is really a place with a bigger palm, and it is a big thing.

Wan'er opened her mouth and continued to exclaim: "Four hundred acres, 1,897 houses, no wonder Master Xuanzang wants to give my young master a small courtyard to live in temporarily, so many houses are empty and empty, wouldn't it be all wasted if you don't give people to live?" ”

Wan'er's words made the corners of Tang Xiu's mouth twitch as well, many of the rooms in the Great Ci'en Temple are good, but they are definitely not something that anyone can live in, just the small courtyard they are going to, but the elder-level residence in the temple is something that those dignitaries outside can't ask for.

"The benefactor is wrong." Jing Xin couldn't help but explain: "There are a lot of Buddha houses in the temple, but in addition to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the separate worship of each Buddha and Bodhisattva, and the resting place of hundreds of monks in the temple, plus the pavilion where the emperor lives and the residence of the palace guards when the emperor comes to Mu Zhai every year, there are not many places to stay outside the world, and it is extremely difficult for many imperial relatives in Chang'an City to stay in the most humble Buddha house in the temple, let alone a separate courtyard. ”

The emperor doesn't know when he comes, and he is accompanied by hundreds of guards, so most of the empty rooms in the Temple of Mercy and Grace are reserved for the emperor, and no one is allowed to live in them, otherwise, how can there not be much place to stay in the nearly 2,000 houses in the Temple of Mercy and Grace?

Now that the death of Empress Changsun is approaching, many wealthy families who want to try their luck close to Tianyan and the emperor for a period of time even do not hesitate to invest thousands of dollars to ask for a Buddha house, so Jing Xin is really curious, what is the reason why the abbot can leave a separate courtyard for the three donors in front of him to live in when the Buddha house is so nervous?

Could it be that their status is more noble than those royal relatives in Chang'an City?

"Really, it's so rare?"

Pei Cai'er and Wan'er turned their heads to Tang Xiu in unison, if what Jingxin said was true, how could Master Xuanzang let them live in such a rare courtyard? If it was just because of the rain, there were still many pilgrims in the temple who didn't have time to leave, why didn't Master Xuanzang have mercy and arrange them in?

Seeing that the two of them were all staring at him, Tang Xiu chuckled disapprovingly, and said, "Master Xuanzang and I hit it off at first sight, and we can talk better, so Master Xuanzang deliberately stayed here for a few more days." Tomorrow we will go and return the room in the inn, and we will stay in this Temple of Mercy and Grace for a while in the future. ”

Better? Pei Cai'er and Wan'er pouted at the same time, don't they know what virtue Tang Xiu has? Master Xuanzang, how could a dignified monk talk to this famous loser in Taiyuan City? There must be some other secrets that they don't know.

"Lord Tang Shi wants to live here in the future?"

Thinking that he had misheard, Jing Xin couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard the words and asked again, seeing Tang Xiu nodding his head to confirm, the expression on the little monk's face couldn't help but start to become more and more respectful.

If staying overnight in a small courtyard in the Temple of Mercy and Grace is something that is difficult for most royal relatives to do, then staying in this small courtyard for more than three days or even longer is only qualified for the grandfathers and their heirs at the time of the founding of the country.

Now Tang Xiu and the others obviously want to live here for a while, and in their meditation hearts, the status of Tang Xiu and the three of them is already equivalent to the grandson of a certain grandfather in the city.
