Thirty miles north of Luochuan Fangcheng, there is a vast construction site, which is fenced with a fence and a large number of building materials such as wood, earth, and stone are piled up.

In the middle of the construction site, a magnificent hall with a foundation as high as more than a foot has been gradually revealed, and it can barely be seen that it is a Buddhist hall building.

When Li Tai introduced Liu Kang and his son to the construction site to visit, the three of them also became a little excited, and Liu Kang pointed to the prototype of the main hall and asked, "This is the Great Temple of the Master Buddha supervised by the Metropolitan Governor?" It has not yet been created to be so grand and impressive, and the day of its real completion must be even more gorgeous and magnificent, and it will be the best in Beizhou! No wonder all the villagers who visited praised the Metropolitan Governor as a model for promoting the Dharma and Buddha, a rare good man in the world! ”

Li Tai accepted all these compliments, and led the father and son to walk around the construction site while introducing them to the layout plan of this Buddhist temple.

There are also a lot of Jihu people in the workers, and when they saw Li Tai, they all worshiped with respect and solemnity, and their expressions were full of admiration.

The Liu family also met some acquaintances on the construction site, including some of the same kind of Hu chiefs who lived next to their clan.

These Hu chiefs were also overjoyed to see the Liu father and son who were following behind Li Tai, and they stepped forward and said with a smile: "Liu Wanqi has finally been recruited by Governor Li Dadu to join in the plan to promote the Dharma!" Your ministry is strong and has accumulated a lot of money, if you get funding, the temple will definitely be able to be completed faster! When the time comes, not only will this generation be glorious, but future generations will also enjoy the blessing of Buddha! ”

In the face of the praise and praise of the wealthy chiefs, the Liu father and son only laughed dryly, and did not immediately make any statement.

Li Tai saw that their attitude towards this matter was still reserved and hesitant, but he was not in a hurry. This kind of thing, if you don't believe it, it's fine, but once you get started, you can't control it, and people will be addicted to it and can't extricate themselves.

"The Buddhist temple has not yet been completed, but the Buddha rituals are already in place. There are three tents here, one is for the Buddha, the second is for preaching, and the third is for propagating the Dharma. ”

Li Taixian led the father and son into one of the large tents, which were filled with cigarette smoke, and saw Buddha statues of various materials in an orderly and orderly manner, which were enshrined on the earthen platform.

"The master Buddha is the master of Beizhou Dade, in addition to the compassionate Buddha relationship of Buddhism, there is also a blood relationship of ethnic affinity. Its tribes, whether they are virtuous, foolish, rich or poor, must provide for a teacher and Dharma in this life, so that they can be said to be perfect and complete, go through calamities without injury, and enjoy blessings in reincarnation! ”

Li Tai is now as if he has become the ambassador of Liu Shifo's religious image, and after entering the tent, he solemnly introduced the importance of offering a Buddha statue.

In this tent, the bottom layer is stacked with pottery Buddha statues, with a molded face, poor shape, and not even colored, looking like a dusty hard clod.

But even such inferior Buddha statues require believers to donate one sheep to be placed in the table, and two sheep are required to color the statue upwards.

In addition to the shape is clearer and more prominent, according to the standard of the pure one for the upper one and the turbid one for the bottom, it is natural that the higher the upper class enjoys the incense, the higher the incense, and the corresponding worship lord can also enjoy more blessings.

The clay statues on the lower floor are all personal donations and offerings by Jihu believers, and then there are bronze tin Buddha statues on the upper layer, which is not something that ordinary people can make money to offer.

Because the Buddha statues on the top of the copper tin are not only blessed by donations, but also mark that they have made a tangible contribution to the construction of Buddhist temples, their names must be engraved on the base of the Buddha statues, and they can enjoy the worship of incense and merit together with the teachers and Buddhas.

It's also very simple to contribute, just make people and things. For example, this Buddhist temple covers such a vast area, of course, it needs to be ransomed from the state and county government to enclose the land as a temple.

Li Tai personally vouched for the state government and undertook the contribution of 200,000 pieces of silk, and now he has become the largest worshipper of this Buddhist temple. Therefore, the Buddha statue he worships is not placed on the earthen platform, but enjoys a shrine alone, which is specially used as a Buddhist room for offerings, and there are high monks chanting sutras for it every day to support the consecration.

The Zhuhu chieftains around the realm raised more than 100,000 horses of silk, and finally exchanged this land from the state and county to build a Buddhist temple.

Therefore, these Jihu chieftains also enjoy a merit statue, although they can't reach Li Tai's treatment of a single niche, but after the completion of the Buddha hall, they will also be offered to the upper grid.

Except for nothingness (this chapter is not finished!) )

The worshippers of these statues also enjoy a practical privilege, which is the opportunity to manage the temple. The chief monks of all levels in the temple will only be selected from among these worshippers.

The person in charge of explaining these rules of worship to the Liu father and son is the current presiding officer of the temple, Master Hongyi.

This so-called mage, in fact, is Li Tai captured in the Beidi Hongfa Temple and accepted as a slave of an old monk, Li Tai saw that he was sanctimonious, good image and eloquent, so he specially asked for a great monk to be awarded the title of a great monk, to preside over the construction of the temple and daily affairs.

But in fact, this otherworldly-looking mage is deeply rooted in vulgarity, and his two sons, one daughter, and all his wives and concubines have been adopted in Li Tai's Shangyuan Village.

The Liu family and his son listened to this very seriously, and they also redoubled their respect for the presiding master, Master Hongyi. It's not because I don't know the true face of this old monk, or because I believe in Buddhism, but because I heard the deep meaning of this.

The Liu Shifo Temple built by Li Tai is to gather people to collect money at best, and to create a new order among these Jihu people!

Although their Liu clan is also a powerful clan in the withered Yin Realm, they are far inferior to Li Tai, who has the Western Wei Dynasty and the Xingtai Hegemony Mansion as their backers in terms of power and prestige, even if they have such intentions and plans, they can't operate them at all.

What's more, if Li Tai continues to integrate the terrain and Hu Shi, then the advantage of the surface township power that they are proud of will gradually disappear.

When Li Tai really wants to attack them, not to mention anything else, just the fellow townsmen who greeted them with a smile just now are afraid that they will be the first to lead the way and lead the troops to attack their territory!

Li Tai saw that the three of them, father and son, each showed thoughtful expressions, and kept making eye contact, and did not say anything, but just introduced them to the left side of the tent.

In this big tent, several eminent monks took turns to give lectures, and some believers gathered below to listen to the lectures devoutly.

Although Liu Shifo was born in Beizhou, the real Dharma transmission area is in Longyou, and the Buddhist teachings he upholds are also widely spread in Longyou.

Li Tai wants to run this Buddhist temple, of course, to do a full set of services and provide a full range of services, so he specially commissioned Dugu Xin to find a few monks in Longyou who passed on this law, and entered the country to preach Liu Shifo's scriptures.

But it turned out that his arrangement was only redundant. Most of the Jihu people only believe in it, but they do not listen to the scriptures, and even though the monks grind their teeth here and bleed, there are still very few people who listen to the scriptures.

On the contrary, the Dharma propagation tent on the right is often overcrowded, and thousands of people are gathered at every turn.

Because this is mainly a display of shocking picture books and drama stories, such as Liu Shifo subduing demons and eliminating demons, divination ancient and modern and other gods and monster stories, especially when the monster is staged into a beautiful woman, intending to lure the monk into the evil way, it is impermeable with three layers of inner and outer three layers of encirclement.

It can be seen that from ancient times to the present, fighting monsters and upgrading and driving drift are the ways of information dissemination that the people like to see.

When I saw those women with bewitching appearances using all kinds of seduction methods, I couldn't help but substitute into them, the heat and heat were uneasy, but the teacher Buddha was able to sit still and be qualitative like a mountain, and naturally comprehended the subtlety of the Buddhist law of the monks, not the layman. As for the teachings of the Buddhist scriptures that make people drowsy, it's a fart!

Li Tai did not discriminate against this, as long as he could expand the influence of the Buddhist temple and gather more manpower and materials, he would naturally show them whatever they wanted. If you really want to be poor and study the righteousness one by one, you will be tired of working in a drowsy state, and these leeks will wilt!

Liu's father and son also came here, only to know where the legend of Liu Shifo's transformation of Li Dadu came from, there are many such plots in those picture books, and the images of the eyebrows and eyes of the characters in the picture books are vaguely similar to this Li Dadudu, and the way of appearance is different, but in the end, without exception, they are all bright and majestic images.

"The Metropolitan Governor is so proud of the Dharma and the Buddha, but I am really ashamed and uneasy that the believers of our race have stayed out of the matter and watched it come to fruition. If you have the heart to donate yourself to this matter, I implore the Metropolitan Governor to accept it! ”

After visiting this Buddhist temple again, the Liu father and son no longer hesitated, but said with a sincere face.

Seeing that this business has been sought after by many people of the same kind, and the climate is gradually becoming successful, the sooner you join, the greater the profit.

Li Tai laughed when he heard the words (this chapter is not over!). )

said: "I am only giving a little convenience and support within the ministry, and the person who really manages this matter is the presiding monk Hongyi who is elected by the masses. It is naturally good that Patriarch Liu has such a kind heart of worshiping Buddha, and it is inconvenient for me to discuss everything with Master Hongyi. ”

With his current status, it is naturally not good to bargain with others in person, so he asks *** to work for his subordinates.

After explaining this, he returned to Fangcheng, and the monk Hongyi was responsible for greeting the father and son.

In the evening, the monk Hongyi came into the city to meet and report the results of the negotiations: "My lord, this Liu Qushuai actually wants to exchange for the treatment of a separate niche, and I make my own opinion, and inform them that if they do so, they must offer 500,000 horses of silk during the construction of the temple." ”

Li Tai knew that the monks of Hongfa Temple were all ruthless, otherwise he would not have accumulated such a huge amount of temple property, and he was not surprised to hear the old monk lion open his mouth, but asked with a smile: "They agreed?" ”

"Judging by his demeanor, he is still a little reluctant, so I plan to hold a few more *** in the near future, with the encouragement of the masses, it should not be difficult for them to get started."

Monk Hongyi hurriedly bowed down and said.
