Chapter 602: Buddha Statue

Soon, the gate of the temple opened, and several great monks led some monks out to greet them, and at this time, the side door of the temple also opened, and some people left through the side door of the temple.

Seeing that some people were leaving, Wang Xuanjing said directly: "Go and bring those people over." ”

Hongzhen saw that Wang Xuanjing didn't pay attention to them, but went to call those people, and his face was a little ugly, but he couldn't attack, so he had to wait on the side.

Soon, the soldiers brought a group of civilians over, and they trembled one by one under the escort of the soldiers.

"Shangguan and I just came to invite the Buddha, and we didn't commit adultery!" One of them, a gorgeously dressed man, spoke loudly as soon as he arrived.

Wang Xuanjing looked at this man in fancy clothes, this person should be quite rich in his family, either the local tycoon or the big family, they are also the big customers of this monk, as for other low-level people, even if they donate all their net worth, how much money can they have?

Those monks don't look at them more, and the only use of these low-level people is to promote their temples and be oppressed by them.

"Buddha please? What Buddha please? How much does it cost? Wang Xuanjing asked, he also wanted to know how much it would cost to invite the Buddha, and then he could calculate the family background of these monks.

"It didn't cost anything." The man said.

"Hahaha, the sun comes out in the west, please Buddha still doesn't cost money!" Fu Yi next to him couldn't help but smile.

Then the man told him why he invited the Buddha, and Wang Xuanjing understood the reason.

This big family is a landlord in a nearby county, with 300 acres of fertile land, two water mills, and a paper mill, and is also a well-known figure in Lantian County.

Recently, he met a high-ranking man, who told him that their family had the image of great wealth and nobility, and that they wanted to produce people who could prosper the family, but if they wanted to be truly rich, they needed to move their graves.

However, this tomb also needs to find a feng shui treasure land, there is a land under this temple, this land is far away from the water source, it is difficult to irrigate, and there is a lot of sand and gravel, it is a barren land.

No matter how Zhang Dahu looks at this land, it doesn't look like a treasure land of feng shui, but the master said that this is a place where the Tibetan wind gathers qi, inheriting the sun and moon divine light on the top, and connecting the blessed soil below, three feet higher than the surrounding area, which is the image of the gathering of stars.

Zhang Dahu looked at it and felt that what the master said was very right, so he thought about buying this land, which was already barren, and there was not much food to grow, and the price was cheap.

But the night before he was about to buy it, a Buddha statue suddenly 'grew' out of the field.

That's right, a Buddha statue 'grows' out of the ground. At the beginning, this Buddha statue only leaked a little, but it was a minute long a day, but it was just seven or eight days of effort, and it actually grew a foot high, and the entire Buddha head was exposed.

It is a beautifully carved Buddha statue.

The fact that Buddha statues grew in this field spread far and wide, and soon the surrounding villages knew about it, and everyone said that this land was a treasure of feng shui, and the Buddha of the temple next to it appeared and grew out of the ground.

The mother of this big family is also a believer in Buddhism, since the Buddha grew out of the ground, then this must be a treasure of feng shui, so let her son move the grave as soon as possible, and move the ancestral tomb to the past, so as to bless their family with great wealth.

It's just that this land was originally under the name of Zen Temple, and it was originally just three acres of barren land, and it would cost at most seven or eight yuan to buy it, but now that the Buddha has grown out of the ground, this land has also changed from a barren land to a treasure land of feng shui.

If you want to buy it again, you have to pay more than seven or eight dollars.

At this time, the monks in the temple said that they would exchange these three acres of land for 200 acres of paddy fields for Zhang Dahu's family, and they would do a ritual for Zhang Dahu's ancestral tomb, and the ancestral tablets of Zhang Dahu's family could also be put into the temple to be protected by the Buddha, and their Zhang family would be rich and prosperous in the future.

Wang Xuanjing said with a smile when he heard this: "Do you believe that the Buddha statue will really grow out of the ground?" ”

Zhang Dahu didn't believe it at first, and felt even more painful.

You must know that two hundred acres of paddy fields, but two-thirds of the fields in their homes, not to mention paddy fields, almost no need to carry water, let go of the sluice gate to irrigate, such an acre of field, comparable to five acres of dry land, not to mention barren fields.

But the more the matter spread, he was also hesitant in his heart.

In the end, in order to verify the authenticity, he personally led people to live in the field for one night, and saw the Buddha statue grow out of the ground little by little, and it was really half an inch taller than yesterday.

immediately expressed his willingness to replace, two hundred acres of land, so that the future generations of his family are rich and prolonged.

"This must be man-made!" Fu Yi sneered: "Only crops, plants and plants can be grown in the ground, how can stones grow!" ”

"This is the first time that the official has heard that the Buddha statue can actually be 'grown' in the ground, this kind of rare thing, the official can take a look at it with his own eyes, if such auspicious is true, the official can also repay His Majesty, if it is fake" Wang Xuanjing glanced at the group of monks.

"Monk, which of you is the abbot?" Wang Xuanjing asked.

"Amitabha." Monk Hongzhen stepped forward and said, "The poor monk is the abbot!" ”

"Poor monk?" Wang Xuanjing chuckled and said: "You are not poor monks, in comparison, this official is poor." ”

"This official Wang Xuanjing, trusted by His Majesty, is the Zhongshu Order, and you should know about the monks in the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples."

"The old man heard about it two days ago, and an official came to give orders."

"In that case, the official asked you, how many acres of land are there in the temple?"

"This matter still needs to be asked Hongguang, the old man doesn't care about the mundane things in the temple."

"Hongguang, how many acres of land donated by good men and women in the temple?"

"Back to the abbot, there are 5,739 acres."

Hearing this, Fu Yi next to him wanted to say something, but he held back.

"How many monks are there in the temple?"

"One thousand and sixty-four."

"Make a note of it first, and then send someone to verify, let's go and see that feng shui treasure land first!" Wang Xuanjing didn't say anything, and directly asked people to take it to see the Buddha statue.

Soon the crowd came to the land, which was indeed barren, and the grain grown did not grow well, and the harvest was not high.

But the strange thing is that in the center of this land, it was fenced off, and when everyone walked in, they found that on the ground, there was a stone Buddha statue half-buried in it, and the head of the Buddha statue was all exposed, and the chest was still in the soil.

It looks like it grew out of the ground.

"Does the abbot know that Buddha statues grow in this soil?"

"Amitabha, I don't know!" Hongzhen shook his head.

"As the abbot, you didn't even know that you came here to perform miracles, which shows that your abbot is not sincere!"

Wang Xuanjing immediately asked the other people, and these hundred letters said that they knew, and Wang Xuanjing immediately glanced at the abbot and said, "The abbot really doesn't know?" ”
