Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
There is a temple in Shengjing, there is a tower in the temple, the tower is called Tongtian, and the flat ground rises straight into the clouds.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Zhang Xiaodao went straight to the north of the city, and saw the Tower of Babel at the far end and couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
The reason for the horror is naturally that the Tower of Babel is really high, so high that you can't see the spire, and you can only see the body of the tower occasionally exposed in the clouds.
Could the little monk be going to climb this tower? Zhang Xiaodao thought, urging the old green cow to hurry up.
The old green cow sped up his pace a little reluctantly, because the girl had eaten half a catty of beef alone just now, and she didn't even give it a chance.
But when I think about it, I am relieved, the old green cow itself is a cow, so naturally it does not eat beef, and it can't help but laugh at the idea it just had.
In the north of the city, the temple enclosure is innumerable, the outer wall of the temple is mottled and faded, but no one renovates, there is a plaque in front of the temple, the dragon and the phoenix dance on the plaque are written with three words 'Futu Temple'. The font is profound, but it does not lose its determination, there is no sense of squareness, and it shows domineering between horizontal and vertical.
Zhang Xiaodao stood under this plaque for a moment, looking out of the deserted hall, thinking that fortunately today was not the fifteenth day of the new year, otherwise he was afraid that he would not even be able to step into the threshold.
Walk into the Futu Temple, the ancient cypress towers to the sky, it is very cool, and the halls come into view, most of the temples are not good-looking, mediocre and peaceful.
There are occasional cicadas chirping in the temple accompanied by the melodious sound of the ancient bell, just like fairy music, which makes people calm their mood, peaceful and comfortable.
A middle-aged monk who was over thirty years old walked over and said softly, "Donor, the temple is not open today, please do it." ”
Zhang Xiaodao folded his hands and saluted back: "Master, I'm here to find someone." ”
"Who is the donor looking for?"
"The law. ”
The monk's eyebrows raised slightly, and he smiled: "Zhang Xiaodao?"
"It's down there. ”
"This way, please. ”
Zhang Xiaodao followed in the footsteps of the monk.
Along the way, Zhang Xiaodao has a deeper understanding of Futu Temple, which is the first temple in the world. But except for the domineering side leak of the Tower of Babel, the other buildings look extremely ordinary.
There are monks sweeping the floor, there are monks cooking, there are monks practicing martial arts, and naturally there are monks chanting scriptures.
These images come together. Just like an ordinary temple, Zhang Xiaodao followed the monks all the way to the bottom of the Tower of Babel, and when he looked up, he was even more in awe.
Tongtian is a Baling Tower, the eaves fly up like a swallow, the tower body is simple but there are no mottled traces. This was enough to make Zhang Xiaodao dumbfounded.
Although the Tower of Babel has been built for many years, there is no doubt that after all these years of wind and frost, the wind and frost have not left a trace on this tower.
At this time, under the tower of Babel, there are stacks of green onions, and there are two or three hundred bundles of them. Zhang Xiaodao was stunned when he saw an old monk and a young monk.
The little monk is not tall and slightly thin, and even after walking outside for two years, it seems that he has not been nurtured, either physically or psychologically.
The old monk is extremely burly, and his shoulders are wide enough to fit two little monks, and just standing makes people feel like a majestic mountain.
"Zhang Xiaodao meets the master. As he spoke, he waved his hands respectfully to the extreme.
At this time. Zhang Xiaodao was nervous in his heart, although he only saw a back, but he felt more oppressive than seeing the emperor, for no other reason, this old monk is the number one murderer in the world, if you judge purely by the value of force, I am afraid that he has stood at the peak of this world as early as thirty years ago.
When the old monk heard this, he turned around, and Fayi said with a sad face: "Xiaodao, you're here, I thought I couldn't see you." ”
Zhang Xiaodao was stunned. Looking at the stacks of green onions around him, he realized that today might be the time for Fayi to ascend the Tower of Babel, but he still paid more attention to the old monk.
The old monk was dressed in an ordinary monk's robe, with a square face and thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he has the appearance of old age, he is not angry and arrogant. Seeing that his front figure is even stronger, like a moving hill, and the Fayi standing beside him is like a seedling.
He was barefoot, a pair of big feet without a trace of dust, white as a lotus, forming a strong contrast with his figure.
"Are you Zhang Xiaodao?" the monk asked softly, his voice was so thick that even if it was just a soft voice, it was like a bell ringing, giving Zhang Xiaodao the illusion of a roar in his ears.
"It's the disciple. Zhang Xiaodao said respectfully.
The number one murderer in the world smiled slightly and asked, "Are you interested in climbing the tower with Fayi?"
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaodao was stunned, although he didn't know what the situation was in the Tower of Babel, but he had already heard that it would take a year or two to climb this tower, and there were naturally great opportunities and difficulties in the tower.
"Master, this is good, we are also companions. Fa Yi looked excited.
Zhang Xiaodao said bitterly: "But the disciple will go to the academy to report soon, I heard about ......." ”
Without waiting for Zhang Xiaodao to finish speaking, the old monk waved his hand and said: "How can the poor monk stay with you for a long time, let you board and you will board." ”
There was no doubt in this tone, how dare Zhang Xiaodao refute, he could only wave his hand and say: "That disciple is better than obeying his fate if he is respectful." ”
After finishing speaking, the old monk stroked his long sleeves, Zhang Xiaodao and Fa Yi only felt that an invisible force held the two up, and in an instant, it was pitch black in front of them, this method was really like a fairy!
............
............
The Tower of Babel has no door or road, but the pure Baling Tower towers into the sky.
Seeing that the two of them had not entered the tower, the old monk Qing, who was in charge of walking to the bottom of the tower with Zhang Xiaodao, couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Senior brother, why is this so?"
The number one murderer in the world, one of the six kings of the Tang Dynasty, Monk Wuhai, did not answer, but coughed lightly twice, and said with emotion: "The future of the Tang Dynasty depends on these young people. ”
The old monk's face changed suddenly, and an ominous premonition appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help but worry: "Senior brother, your body." ”
"I'm afraid I can't hold it back. Wuhai's words seemed a little helpless, but in fact, his tone was extremely peaceful, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"What does Senior Brother think in his heart, if I don't know, how can I control the direction of Futu Temple in the future?"
Wuhai looked at the old monk, smiled slightly, and a hint of softness appeared on Fang Zhengyan's face, and he said: "Infinite junior brother, the world knows that the way of heaven is ethereal, but I don't know that the way of heaven is ruthless, I am willing to be a man, better than willing to go to the other side, not to mention that I am afraid to become a ruthless and sexless stubborn stone on the other side, what does it mean to be a stone?"
The monk with the Dharma name Immeasurable said with shame in his heart: "Senior brother, why do you have to be like this, we who cultivate Buddhism will naturally enter the Western Elysium, how can we become stubborn stones?"
"Western Elysium?" Wu Hai laughed heartily and said, "I have killed countless people in my life, even if I fall into the eighteenth layer of hell, it is a matter of course, where did I come from." ”
"How can we talk about the prosperity of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty without a senior brother? The Buddha had a clear understanding of everything and would inevitably lead the senior brother to the Elysium. ”
Wu Haihao magnified and smiled: "Immeasurable, killing is killing, Buddhism pays attention to karma, how can it be favored by the Buddha?"
Wuliang was awe-struck in his heart, but he had to say: "What Senior Brother said is extremely true. ”
Wuhai stretched out a finger and pointed to the Tower of Babel and said: "Thirty years ago, the Tang Dynasty was established, and I erected this Tower of Babel, which consumed nearly half of the resources of the treasury, why?"
"Senior brother wants to build a tower to the sky and guard the Tang Dynasty forever. ”
"Fart. "There is no sea of vulgar ways.
Wuliang was familiar with the temperament of the senior brother, and he didn't feel the word fart, so he asked in surprise, "Why is that?"
"Half of the treasury resources of the Tang Dynasty have been poured into it, countless formation masters have not hesitated to lose their lives, more than 30 Great Wilderness swordsmen have been killed by me, and there are more than 100 copies of the secret books of the Holy See?
Wuliang has never heard of the true origin of the Tower of Babel, and most people in the world think that the barefoot monk only erected this tower in order to allow himself to ascend to the realm of heaven and man, but he underestimated the courage of the monk.
"All of them are for the future of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Those who climb to the top of this tower will become the pillar of the country in the future, and after I die, I will devote my whole body to this tower to reverse, and the Tang Dynasty will stand tall in this world!"
Hearing the real reason, he was so shocked that he couldn't say half a word.
At this time, Wuhai was arrogant, and there seemed to be a spirit coming out of the body between his gestures, which made people can't help but sincerely worship.
"Senior brother is a true Buddha in the world, if you don't go to the Western Elysium, you will definitely live forever!"
Wuhai laughed wildly: "I know the background of this kid Zhang Xiaodao, I can be appreciated by the general, and I can get the favor of the old yellow head, and he has an excellent heart." ”
The topic turned back to Zhang Xiaodao's entry into the Tower of Babel, and he didn't understand: "However, senior brother is complicated. ”
"Do you know anything about the Twelve?"
"I've heard a little. ”
"That's what he did. ”
Immeasurable's eyes widened, not knowing what to say.
"I won't pay attention to the whole story of this matter, but since he entered the palace and retreated, it means that Yinlong trusts him. ”
"A child who was born in the border army, has blood, temper, brains, knows how to measure, and is about to enter the academy to be trained by his husband, why don't I help him?"
"It's just Senior Brother, why do you assert that Zhang Xiaodao will enter Mr.'s door?"
Everyone in the world knows that the Hanlin Academy of the Tang Dynasty was founded by Mr. Shengtang, and has a history of 30 years so far, and has contributed countless talents to the court and the military department.
But what Sheng Tang wants to see most is that Mr. accepts more students, but in the past thirty years, only one person has entered Mr.'s eyes, and that's it.
Therefore, most of the students in the academy are not running for the husband, but for the famous teachers in the academy.
The question of immeasurable is naturally reasonable, and they all know that the army over there only got the exemption qualification to enter the academy, but it is not yet known who they will worship.
Wuhai smiled when he heard this: "He told me when he drank last time." ”
Immeasurably helpless, knowing that it was naturally hand-picked by Mr., then it was already a certainty, he was not helpless about it, but helplessly said: "Senior brother, you broke the vow again." ”
Wuhai also said helplessly: "It was infected when I was in the army, and it is difficult to change." Saying that, Wuhai's voice became lower, and he muttered, "Besides, it's refreshing to drink." ”
