Chapter 430: Underground Palace 1

  Famen Temple was built in the 11th year of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the third century B.C., after Emperor Ashoka unified India, in order to promote Buddhism, the relics of the Buddha were divided into 84,000 parts, so that the ghosts and gods were sent to all countries in the world to build towers for worship. There are 19 in China, and Famen Temple is the fifth. Famen Temple is placed in the tower because of the relics, the wooden tower is four layers, the underground palace is set up, the coffin and the golden bottle made of red sandalwood hold the Buddha's finger bone relics, the wooden tower is called "the real body relics pagoda", the temple is built because of the tower, the original name is Asoka Temple, the Sui Dynasty changed to Famen Temple.

  Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Tao adopted Cui Hao's suggestion to ban Buddhism, destroy Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues and pagoda temples, and the relics pagoda became ruins, which was called "holy mound" by believers. Later after several reconstructions and burning, the last reconstruction is the late Liang Emperor Longde two years, the original Tang Dynasty Jie Du envoy, Qi King Li Maozhen repaired the wooden tower, although it is still a four-layer wooden tower, but Li Maozhen added the tower heart pillar, and at the top of the tower covered with green glazed tiles, every time the morning glow is full of sky or sunset, the top of the tower is splendid, enough to be comparable with the big and small wild goose pagoda in Chang'an City.

  Yang Zhi is now standing in front of the wooden tower, he has appreciated the grandeur of the royal temple, the "Emperor Buddha Kingdom" plaque written by Song Huizong hangs on the mountain gate, the Famen Temple is now twenty-four courtyards, and the bathing courtyard for monks and good people can receive thousands of people a day. Compared with the high-rise buildings of later generations, the stupa is only a small building, the stupa looks very strong, only some traces of rain washing, and the wooden planks brushed with tung oil have a layer of light and shadow in the sun.

  Yang Zhi arrived at Famen Temple last night, and the night's rest has returned to normal, and the Zen master of Hate Mountain and others thought that Yang Zhi had something to ask, but they did not expect Yang Zhi to drag the monk to visit the Famen Temple early in the morning; Yang Zhi went around under the tower before entering the wooden tower in full view. According to the online text he saw in his previous life, the underground palace should be in the southwest corner of the pagoda, and Yang Zhi saw that the tower was full of adobe, and immediately believed it.

  The entrance to the underground palace is said to be a stone slab, and no one will notice it at all under the adobe; Master Guijialuo, the presiding officer of Famen Temple, followed Yang Zhi into the wooden tower, and Master Guijialuo has been paying attention to Yang Zhi's movements, seeing that Yang Zhi came empty-handed, Master Guijialuo has not guessed that the relics are in Famen Temple. However, there are thousands of acres of land in Famen Temple, and many buildings are no longer the original buildings, and King Jing is already on the way to Famen Temple, and Master Guijialuo automatically extinguishes the idea of looking for it.

  Master Guijialuo is a mixed-race child, with a pair of blue eyes, he is not a Han person, and his long hair fluttered and asked Yang Zhi, "Is the donor sure?"

  Yang Zhiheshi replied: "Sincerity is spirituality." ”

  Master Guijialuo suddenly understood, what sincerity is spirituality, Yang Zhi meant that finding relics was his business, and he didn't need anyone's help, so he smiled calmly and said, "It's the old man who is obsessed, looking for the relics is the donor's business, and reciting the scriptures is the old man's business." Master Yang, what scripture do you say you should recite?"

  Yang Zhi said seriously: "The Sutra of Death." ”

  Master Ghost Jia Luo couldn't help but glance at Yang Zhi more, the Sutra of the Past Life is mostly used for transcending the dead, the Buddhist scriptures say that reciting 21 times can destroy the five rebellions, ten evils and other sins, and reciting 200,000 times will sprout the sprouts of wisdom, if someone can recite 300,000 times, it is said that they can see Amitabha Buddha in person. In fact, the meaning of the Sutra of Rebirth is the Pure Land of Rebirth, and many people think that the Pure Land of Rebirth is a matter after death, people can also go to the Pure Land when they are alive, in the past, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva made a wish to be reborn in the Elysium, and dreamed of Amitabha Buddha to teach the Sutra of Rebirth; Master Huiyuan of the Pure Land Sect has seen Amitabha Buddha three times in his life, and it is said that he is in the Western Elysium.

  Master Guijialuo walked out of the wooden tower stupidly, and when he saw the oncoming Zen Master of Hatshan, he asked, "Is your junior brother reliable, King Jing only has one day left." ”

  Zen Master Hate Mountain smiled and said, "He is also ready to receive the gold and mountains and forests from Longhu Mountain, he must be more nervous than you and me." Did he say something?"

  Master Onigara sighed and said, "He asked me to recite the Sutra of Rebirth. ”

  Zen Master Heten said, "There is Senior Brother Lao, let me go over and see, where is he now?"

  "In the wooden tower. ”

  Yang Zhi stayed alone in the wooden tower, estimating the approximate location of the entrance to the underground palace, the dragon bird knife followed the foundation of the wooden tower, and tried it down, Yang Zhi secretly exercised his skills, and inserted the knife down, and soon he could feel the difference between the sound below and the virtual reality. Yang Zhi walked outside the tower, saw several soldiers under Wang Yan, asked for a spear from a soldier, walked into the tower, followed the knife marks checked by the dragon bird knife, and probed to the twenty-second time, feeling the resistance of the stone slab.

  Yang Zhi probed around a few more times, drew a small square, and used all his strength to pick up the adobe soil, which was dusty for a while, and a large notch soon appeared on the ground. Zen Master Hatshan and Wang Yan endured the dust and walked in and were about to ask, Zen Master Hatshan glanced at the ground and immediately knelt down, and a large stone slab was exposed on the ground, although there was still dust floating on it, Zen Master Hatshan had already recognized the lion relief on the stone slab.

  Yang Zhi said to Wang Yan, "It's just in time, arrange someone to sweep the floating soil for me, I estimate that there are three to four such stone slabs, and maybe half of them are under the wooden tower, clear stone slabs, I will give you a hundred taels of silver." ”

  Wang Yan grabbed the broom by the wall and said, "You don't need to call someone, I'll do this alone." ”

  Yang Zhi was responsible for digging the soil, Wang Yan followed the cleaning, less than a stick of incense, he cleaned out three complete stone slabs with reliefs, Yang Zhi used the dragon bird knife to clean up the silt around the stone slabs; When Master Guijialuo heard the news, he saw that Yang Zhi and Zen Master Hatshan had lifted the first stone slab, and bowed down and asked Yang Zhi, "Senior Brother Yang, what's down there?"

  Yang Zhi recalled, "Relics, Zen staffs, coffins, I'm afraid I also need Wu Zetian's supplies and silk and gadgets given by several emperors of the Tang Dynasty, by the way, there is money, money made of tortoiseshell. ”

  The three of them broke out in a cold sweat when they heard this, they could be sure that Yang Zhi had never gone down at this age, but Yang Zhi's demeanor showed that Yang Zhi clearly knew what was inside, and Yang Zhi was able to find this entrance, and they were already in awe of Yang Zhi in the hearts of the three of them. Yang Zhi waved his hand and said, "I saw it in a book, abbot, don't look at me like this, make me look like a person who destroys the purity of Buddhism, is there a relic, what I said is right, you have to go down to know, you quickly arrange the surrounding guards, don't be too crowded, and break the wooden tower." Come in after the arrangement, I'm still waiting for you to go down to the dungeon together. ”

  Master Onigara hurriedly stood up and said, "It's the old man who is confused. "I like the dragon, please collect the dragon.
