For some reason, seeing the abbot's eyes that were indisputable and undistracted, the emperor couldn't help but want to believe him, but one thousand taels of gold was not a small amount, and although the treasury was rich, it could not be squandered like this.

However, when he thought of the loss caused by the drought in the north for half a month, the emperor had a pain in his flesh, and the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, so he was really helpless, and the emperor shook his head and said, "I agree!" Someone, thousands of gold! ”

"Let's send it directly to the Tower of Ten Thousand Wishes!" A flat voice sounded. I saw the abbot leave the main hall by himself and walk in the direction of the Ten Thousand Wishes Tower. Seeing this, everyone could only follow to see how to deal with it.

The abbot's rudeness was also ignored by the emperor at this time, and he only wanted to see if a thousand taels of gold could be exchanged for a heavy rain.

When everyone arrived, they saw that the abbot had words in his mouth, but he couldn't understand a word, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but at this time, there was a faint belief in everyone's hearts. Maybe you can really ask for a heavy rain!

"Send a thousand taels of gold into the tower!" The abbot did not squint, turned a deaf ear to those who came, nor did he look back, but spoke to the guards who came with gold in their hands.

That breath, as if a thousand taels of gold is dung, doesn't care at all. The emperor watched a thousand taels of gold being sent into the tower, and felt distressed for a while, it was all gold!

The emperor secretly decided in his heart that if he didn't see a drop of rain, he decided not only to let him compensate for a thousand taels of gold, but also to serve him with a big punishment. Let him be guilty of disrespect!

The abbot next to the Ten Thousand Wishes Pagoda looked at the gold that slowly disappeared in front of him, and continued to chant in his mouth, "Amitabha! Please give me a sign! ”

Although this is the case, the Wanyuan Pagoda still did not react at all, and the emperor was almost about to let the abbot go down and serve the punishment.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, especially the emperor's wishes. After a while, the abbot slowly stretched out his hand to the place where he asked for a lot, and finally, in the expectation of everyone, got a lot, which read: It will rain in three days!

Seeing this, the ministers relaxed one after another and exhaled a breath of turbidity. looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed, it's finally going to rain, if it doesn't rain again, this year's losses can be described as heavy! Thinking of the cynicism of the abbot in the side hall just now, everyone was a little embarrassed.

"I'm so clumsy!" I don't know who took the lead in saying it.

"I don't know Tarzan with eyes! I hope the abbot doesn't care about what happened before! ”

……

One apology after another and praise did not make the abbot have any expressions that did not match him, and he was always calm and indisputable.

At this time, the facts have come out, and the emperor has to believe that the abbot is indeed capable, but whether it can rain or not is another matter.

The emperor looked at the sign in the abbot's hand, frowned slightly, and said to his subordinates: "Take the master down, eat and drink well, and ask for rain in three days!" Then, the emperor looked up at the abbot again, his eyes were slightly cold, "If I don't see what I want to see after three days, I'm afraid I can't guarantee the life of the master!" ”

Such an obvious threat to house arrest can be heard by everyone, let alone the abbot? I saw that he was still the same as before, but at this time, a faint smile appeared on his face, nodded in agreement, and then was about to leave with the guards who took him.

Everyone was about to leave, and without anyone seeing, Mo Yufei secretly arranged for people to enter the tower.

"Ahh What about gold? I don't know who exclaimed, everyone who was about to leave stopped, turned to look at the Tower of Ten Thousand Wishes, and sure enough, the original golden gold was gone, only the black hole was left, the place where the gold was held.

The ministers had never seen such a scene, and even if someone had used the Tower of Ten Thousand Wishes to ask for a sign before, nothing had disappeared.

The rare spectacle made everyone very puzzled. A minister dared to look at the emperor and said, "According to what the old minister can see, isn't there a villain who stole the gold in the tower?" ”

This old minister just guessed casually, and it was very likely that others thought about it, and they echoed it one after another, asking the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly. Although this is an old minister's guess, however, what I want to say is that you have the truth, old minister. However, the old minister did not know.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the emperor, at this time the emperor's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, he naturally thought of what the minister thought, but he didn't want to believe it, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, under his nose, someone dared to steal gold! Or from inside the Tower of Wishes! He looked angrily at the abbot who was being escorted by the guards, and asked, "What about the gold?" ”

The anger that could be clearly felt, and the unceremonious words made the ministers wipe a sweat for the abbot, hoping that he would ask for more blessings! The emperor's heart is hard to guess!

However, these are all dispensable for the abbot. He patted the guards' hands with his hands, motioned for them to let go, and then tidied up his somewhat messy clothes a little, looked at the emperor's dark face, smiled faintly, folded his hands, looked up at the sky, and said, "Amitabha, worship the gods of heaven." ”

In this feudal antiquity, people's thinking was relatively conservative, not everyone was an atheist, even if they had not seen real gods, but they subconsciously believed that there were gods in the sky. Otherwise, there would be no sacrifice for rain.

So, the abbot's words, though unconvincing, show that he may be telling the truth. Since ancient times, emperors have been unpredictable, and this scene is no exception.

A thousand taels of gold disappeared out of thin air, and even if he entered the sky to worship the gods, he would have to search for it. "Search!" The emperor took a deep look at the abbot and ordered a search. Immediately afterward, the guards on standby immediately entered the tower to search!

Out of everyone's sight, the abbot's hand tightened his sleeves slightly, as if he was a little nervous. However, the focus of everyone was not on him, and naturally they did not notice his subtle movements.

After a while, all the people who had entered the tower to search came out. Everyone's report was "No! The uniform answer made the emperor frown, thinking: Could it be true as the monk said? Worship the gods in the sky? When everyone heard the guard's answer, they were stunned and couldn't believe it!

Even some ministers really couldn't believe it, "The minister asked to go into the tower and search it," but the result was the same.

There is a saying that it is better to believe what it has than not to believe it. Therefore, in the absence of definite evidence, the emperor chose to believe what the abbot said for the time being. However, the surveillance of house arrest was privately intensified by the emperor.

As a result, the emperor no longer had the heart to stay, and led the ministers to return directly to the palace to continue to discuss state affairs.

It is said that the thousand taels of gold were smuggled out by Wang Liang and Qinglong, avoiding the surveillance of the palace guards. The two went to a hill some distance from the palace and hid the gold in a cave.

Although the two of them were ordered by the King of Sui to steal the gold, the two of them were people who were not easy to control, and they did not immediately go back to Mo Yufei after taking the gold. Looking at the sparkling gold on the ground, the eyes of the two of them lit up, like two hungry wolves, looking at the food stall in front of them.

Before I knew it, three days had arrived. Early that morning, while the emperor was still asleep, he heard bursts of thunder and lightning outside, as well as the exclamations of some people.

"Boom—"

There was another sound, and then "boom, boom, boom" The downpour fell from the sky, and the emperor was agitated, and he was completely sleepy. "Someone—" shouted the Emperor, asking if it was raining.

"The minions are here! What does the emperor command? When the chief heard the emperor's voice, he immediately ran in from outside, bringing a burst of rain and freshness.

"It's raining outside?" The emperor asked in disbelief, with some uncertainty.

When the chief manager heard that the emperor was asking about this, he nodded with a smile, "It's down!" What a lot of rain! The steward rejoiced at the thought of the pouring rain outside. The rain here is so heavy, I believe that the northern side will not be small! Now, the drought can be solved.

After receiving a definite answer, the emperor applauded! Immediately ordered someone to change clothes, he wanted to go to see the abbot in person, and his previous suspicions were now going to apologize.

"The emperor has arrived-" The eunuch shouted vigorously at the throat of the male duck, and the abbot looked at the emperor who came from the rain with some surprise, bent down slightly, and folded his hands, "Amitabha!" The old man is polite! ”

is still the attitude of neither hot nor cold, but the emperor is happy today and does not care about the abbot's attitude. Even if he cares, there is no reason! If you are not careful, you will be said to be cautious! Therefore, the emperor gently supported him.

Looking at where the abbot has lived in the past few days, the emperor said to the abbot a little embarrassed: "I have wronged the abbot master in the past few days, and the heavy rain that I can ask for today is all thanks to your merits, and I have decided to make you a national teacher!" The emperor looked proud and hearty, looked at the abbot with a smile, and waited for his answer.

Hearing the emperor's words that he was going to make him a national teacher, the abbot frowned slightly, a little reluctant, he bowed his head, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" However, please also ask the emperor to take back his fate! The old man is used to being free, I'm afraid I can't get used to the rules of the palace! ”

* The naked refusal made the emperor, who was originally smiling, immediately change his face, looked at the abbot with some seriousness, and said in a deep voice: "You can ignore the rules of the palace!" I'm accurate! ”

Even so, the abbot shook his head and rejected the emperor. The repeated refusal made the emperor very puzzled and asked, "What is the reason?" ”

The abbot raised his head and looked at the emperor seriously, and said, "You are embarrassing the old man!" Alas! The unexpected answer made the emperor's head smoke. He made people officials, why did he become embarrassed?

"Humph! Do I think you're eating hard or soft? Come! Break into the prison! The emperor angrily shook his sleeves and left, and the guards stepped forward to lead people when they heard this.

From beginning to end, the abbot's expression was the same as before, without any resistance, without any waves. The emperor's favor has been like this since ancient times, like a flash in the pan.

I just don't know that everything has been arranged.
