Chapter 373: Re-establishment of Buddhism
Through the snowflakes, Liuer sat down in front of a tea stall, and after ordering a pot of hot tea, Liuer asked, "How is the construction of Xiaoleiyin Temple?"
"It's almost already built," Li Yu replied, "It will be completed in ten days at most, but I don't know if Master is going to have a big feast?"
Liuer smiled and said: "If you want to come, I will come if I don't invite, and if I want to invite, I can't come, so I don't have to set up any banquet." โ
Li Yu nodded and wrote down, at this time Liu'er stretched out his hand, and a snowflake slowly fell into Liu'er's hand, Liu'er said: "The snow is not far from the New Year, I remember that the New Year's Day was also snowing, I lived in a small city, my master brought the boys and disciples around him to see me, that was the only reunion of our master, but it has been a long time." โ
"The warmest is the world, and the farthest is separation," Liu'er sighed, "It's been too long since I've been away from home, but now I finally see my way home." โ
Liu'er took a sip of the cup of hot tea, and Liu'er said, "Let's go, it's time to go back." โ
When he was about to arrive in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Liu'er turned around and saw that the city was full of worshippers, and no one had a Buddha heart.

Summoning the world's skilled craftsmen, recruiting more than 100,000 people, and tens of thousands of volunteers to contribute money and efforts, it took more than ten years to build the Xiaoleiyin Temple.
Beautiful, majestic, this is the highest embodiment of the Tang Dynasty construction skills in this era, every eaves corner, every temple pillar, and even every floor tile are carefully selected.
It is undeniable that faith has always been a powerful force, and it is only a matter of how it is used.
In addition, although it is modeled after the Da Lei Yin Temple, it is very different in details, not only incorporating the elements of the eastern soil, but also the Buddha statues in the temple are also very interesting.
The six-eared Buddha statue is only under the Buddha, which is almost equivalent to the six-eared self-proclaimed first person under the Buddha.
This move can be regarded as bold, but Wu Zetian chose to recognize the status of Liu'er, and with Wu Zetian's help, many things were much easier. Of course, it was not without the opposition of the monks, but the prestige of the six ears was too high, but the monks who opposed it were finally slowly transferred to the remote rural temples.
With six ears, monks who truly believe in Western teachings are destined to be slowly eliminated.
Moreover, the statue of Zhun Ti did not appear in the temple, and it seems that in order to deliberately downplay the factor of Buddhism, half of the statues in the Xiaoleiyin Temple are dedicated to the sages of Dongtu.

The news that Liu'er is coming to Da Lei Yin Temple has spread, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an empty alley, and many people are just to see Liu'er.
Six ears came to the front of the Little Lei Yin Temple, six ears passed, many believers bowed and saluted, and some pious even knelt on the ground.
The six ears are the Buddha in their eyes.
It seems that when they see the Buddha, they have no regrets in this life.
"Your Majesty has arrived. Wu Zetian also came, and in the sharp voice of the eunuch, Wu Zetian arrived outside the temple, and Wu Zetian came with hundreds of civil and military officials.
personally led hundreds of officials, which shows Wu Zetian's sincerity.
Liu'er welcomed Wu Zetian and Baiguan into the temple, and Liu'er smiled and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to take the first incense." โ
Wu Zetian took three long incense sticks, and recruited many people in order to build this small Leiyin Temple, Wu Zetian was also very concerned about this small Leiyin Temple, how could she not know that there was a big problem with the statues in the Xiaoleiyin Temple.
Wu Zetian glanced at the statue of the Buddha, and then said to Liu'er: "I hope that the national teacher will not forget the agreement between you and me." โ
"I won't forget. Six ears affirmed.
Wu Zetian looked at the position of the six-eared statue again, there was a vacant seat, so Wu Zetian's eyes were full of ambition, and Wu Zetian smiled: Because the empty position was promised to her by the six-eared god, she is a king when she is alive, and she will be a bodhisattva after death.
Guanyin inserted three long incense sticks in front of the six-eared statue, and she came to worship the Buddha, only the six ears.
After Wu Zetian, it was time for the hundred officials to put on the incense, and several prime ministers also held three long incense sticks in their hands, and several prime ministers were just stunned for a moment and inserted the long incense in front of the six-eared statue.
Wu Zetian has set an example, even if he is the prime minister, he does not dare to disobey.
This scene is actually a bit funny, Liu'er is standing next to Wu Zetian, but everyone is worshipping the statue of Liu'er.
The hundred officials also did the same, the smoke was ethereal, and a good smell of sandalwood wafted out, but the incense in front of the six-eared statue was in full bloom, and in front of the Buddha, it was empty.
After the incense was completed, the atmosphere in the Xiaoleiyin Temple became a little strange, and the hundred officials had countless questions in their hearts, but no one dared to ask.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and everyone looked up and found that there were dozens of giant pythons in the sky.
Each python is more than a thousand feet long, a giant python is a mountain peak, and dozens of giant pythons are even covering the light of the sun.
Although the leading python is also huge, it is the smallest of the giant pythons, but the pythons are headed by her.
She is Xiaoman.
"Demons, there are monsters. "When have the people in Chang'an City seen this scene, not to mention much, as long as a giant python rolls in this Chang'an City, Chang'an City will become history, how can mortals not be afraid of such monsters.
"Escort, escort, protect Your Majesty. The guards also became flustered.
"Why panic," Wu Zetian shouted: "The national teacher is here, how can he allow the demons to make waves." โ
Wu Zetian took a few steps back and saluted Liu'er: "Please also ask the national teacher to save this city of creatures." ๏ผโ
The hundred officials also came to their senses, and the hundred officials saluted together: "Please ask the national teacher to help." โ
The voice of the hundred officials came out of the small thunder sound temple, everyone woke up like a dream, although the monster is terrible, but now there is a holy monk in the city, he is a Buddha walking in the world.
At this time, dozens of pythons opened their mouths together, the wind swept wildly, flying sand and stones, the wind was howling, and many mortals were frightened, but everyone still spoke: "Please save us from Nan Wujan Tan Meritorious Buddha." โ
The sound spread for hundreds of miles, and all the mortals in Chang'an City had never been so concentric, regardless of men and women, regardless of the old and weak, they all spoke together, and at this time they asked for six ears instead of burning lamps.
Liu'er stepped out of Xiaoleiyin Temple in one step, and the countless Buddha lights behind Liu'er brought light to Chang'an City again.
The beings looked up and saw a giant python falling from above, the giant python was so big that it seemed that the sky had fallen, and if it really fell, it would crush everyone into a meat pie.
Liu'er waved his hand gently, and the giant python turned into a ten-zhang long python and landed in front of the door of the Xiaoleiyin Temple.
"Bang!" The ten-zhang long python was enough to stir up countless dust, and everyone looked at the python with some fear, and then prayed to the six ears more and more devoutly.
"The acting skills are too bad, see how I clean you up in the future. Xiao Man muttered in his heart, mortals only felt that the six ears were powerful, but Xiao Man saw that the python had fallen off by itself before the six ears had made a move.
Xiao Man then looked at the second giant python, and was swept away by Xiao Man's gaze, and the giant python shivered, so the second giant python opened its mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood when it landed.
The other pythons immediately understood, and all the snakes did the same, and the blood stained the earth red, which was really a "tragic" battle.
The last to land was Xiao Man, Xiao Man turned into a human form after landing, Xiao Man bowed and saluted: "True Buddha, your cultivation is profound, we are really convinced, there are treasures to offer, and please spare our lives." โ
Xiaoman has a golden lotus and a bead in his hand, according to legend, once the emperor Fu Xi got the turtle to offer treasures, but now there is a giant python to the six ears to offer treasures, and the status of the six ears in the hearts of everyone is much higher.
Liu'er accepted the two treasures, and Liu'er said, "There is still a lack of Dharma protectors in my temple, so you can lead your subordinates to be Dharma protectors." โ
Xiao Man nodded, and then Xiao Man's body jumped, and there were dozens of pythons on the pillars in Xiao Lei Yin Temple.
seems to feel that the position is uncomfortable, Xiao Man quietly changed his position again, compared to her subordinates, Xiao Man's acting skills are not much smarter.
Fortunately, at this time, the six ears were shining, and everyone's attention was on the six ears, and the six ears said loudly: "The Buddha comes from the west, the holy realm of bliss, far away in the west sky, and all living beings in the east, it is difficult to worship the Buddha, and it is difficult to be free." โ
"I am willing to establish a religion with the three-pin lotus platform and establish another Buddhism for all sentient beings in the eastern region. โ
