The concubine trembled angrily and shouted: "Taixuan Daoist, you, you are disrespecting my Buddha, neglecting the Dharma, Amitabha, my Buddha forgives sins!"

The concubine put her hands together, kept calling the Buddha's name, and a pair of wonderful eyes that hooked people's souls seemed to burn out flames, and looked at Taixuan viciously.

Tai Xuan sneered: "I'm a Buddha, I'm sorry, the poor Tao only respects the Taoist ancestors, and only worships the three Qings, but I don't know who the Buddha is? Besides, when Shakyamuni created the Buddha Gate in the past, he wore tree bark, slept on cow dung, and wore ragged threads, and his food and clothing were all derived from fate, and he ate and drank a scoop of food, thinking that he was the supreme emperor, but he had never been like you, wearing silk and satin, eating mountain delicacies, tasting seafood, and being supported by the people. ”

The concubine said angrily: "These are all voluntary by the people?"

Tai Xuan asked rhetorically: "Voluntary? Okay, then let me ask you, there are countless golden Buddhas and countless bronze statues in the many temples in the world, if they are smelted into gold, silver, and copper coins, how many disaster victims can be saved?

Xu Ziling continued: "That is, in the past, when I was lonely and helpless in Yangzhou and only relied on stealing chickens and dogs to fill my stomach, the fairy of Cihang Jingzhai did not appear to save me! When Boss Yan beat me and Xiao Zhong half to death, the fairy of Cihang Jingzhai did not have a way to help him. On the contrary, the monks in the temple, all of them eat fragrant and drink spicy food, they are full of fat brains, and the incense in the temple burns brightly day and night, is this the Buddha who is compassionate in the mouth of the teacher and girl, and purifies all sentient beings?"

The concubine argued: "The Buddha statue is wearing a golden body, which is to show the majesty of my Buddha, burn incense, and worship my Buddha; Xu Gongzi and Young Marshal Kou Zhong have not been starved to death, but have become the princes in charge, which is all due to the mercy of my Buddha and the blessing of the two sons." ”

Tai Xuan asked rhetorically: "What about the rest of the innocent people who died in vain, who live in the world of misery?

The concubine said: "The cycle of heaven, retribution is not happy, today's cause, his daily fruit, they are all not cultivating merit in their previous lives, so they will suffer from heavenly retribution in this life, they are all people who did sins in their previous lives, and they all deserve their sins." ”

"Therefore, Concubine Xuan was ordered by her teacher to elect the emperor for the people, so that all the people in the world can be stable, so that they can understand the vastness of Buddhism, resolve their sins, enjoy bliss, and enjoy blessings in the next life!"

Xu Ziling was speechless, there are still such people in the world, there is such a statement, not actually helping the victims, but saying that those people deserve it, which is really shameless.

Tai Xuan laughed and said: "This is the tone of your Buddhism? Hahahaha, the poor way is considered to be insightful." Anyway, Poor Dao won't talk nonsense with you, take it!"

The concubine said curiously: "What to take? Dare to ask the Taixuan Daoist what he wants to take?"

Taixuan said: "He's treasure, heirloom jade seal!"

The concubine said: "The jade seal of the country is used by the concubine for the election of the emperor, how can it be handed over to the Taoist, not to mention that the Taoist is a person who is a monk and a foreigner, what do you want such a treasure?"

Tai Xuan said coldly: "Isn't your candidate already decided? Qin Chuan, hehe, eight hundred miles of Qin Chuan, the great cause of opening the emperor, you chose Li Tang, who occupies the Guanzhong! Qin Chuan, Qin, Li Yuan's second son, and Li Shimin, the king of Qin? As for the monks, hehe, aren't you Cihang Jingzhai also a group of female nuns? Aren't you also a monk? Aren't you also in charge of the "heirloom jade seal"?

Concubine Xuan said: "His Royal Highness Li Shimin, King of Qin, is indeed an excellent candidate for the emperor, although he has not been able to complete the assessment, but Concubine Xuan is really interested in him! As for Concubine Xuan and I Cihang Jingzhai to keep this heirloom jade seal, it is because this heirloom jade seal is obtained by Concubine Xuan's master, so he naturally has the right to manage it, not to mention that it is for the people of the world, and the Taoist chief wants this heirloom jade seal just to add righteousness to Young Marshal Kou Zhong, which is selfish, and it is a world of difference from the Taoist chief. ”

Besides, at this moment, the jade seal of the country is not on Concubine Xuan, and Concubine Xuan put it in the place of the empty Zen master in the Jingnian Zen Monastery in order to prevent accidents. ”

Taixuan smiled and said, "What you picked up is yours?" Xiaoling, is this Luoyang picked up by you and Xiao Zhong?"

Xu Ziling replied: "Master Qiyu, this Luoyang is the former Luoyang City Lord, Zheng Guogong of the Great Sui, and Taiwei Wang Shichong passed it on to his nephew Xiao Zhong. Xiao Zhong is busy, and the disciple is only in charge of him for the time being. ”

Taixuan smiled: "It's a pity, you don't have such a good life to pick up the jade seal of the country, even if this Luoyang City is also passed down by others?"

As if he had just seen the concubine, Tai Xuan smiled and said, "Hey, Xiaoling, look at that, the luck of the teacher is much better than yours!

After saying that, Taixuan stretched out his right hand and tightly pinched the concubine's jade neck, so that she couldn't move.

Shi Fei Xuan wanted to resist, but felt that Tai Xuan's palm was like an iron tong, pinching herself, which made her kick breathless, and then a thick true yuan gushed out from Tai Xuan's arm and went straight into Shi Fei Xuan's body, but it was the true yuan of the longevity recipe, the gold recipe into the liver, the wood recipe into the spleen, the water recipe into the heart, the fire recipe into the lungs, the earth recipe into the kidneys, and the yin and yang true yuan directly into the meridians of the body, controlling her and making her unable to move.

Taixuan asked Xu Ziling, "Xiaoling, do you know where the Jingnian Zen Temple is?"

Xu Ziling said: "That temple is in the southern suburbs of Luoyang City, but it is magnificent. ”

"Okay, you take me there, as a teacher, I want to see if I can get this "heirloom jade seal" today!" Tai Xuan said coldly.

Xu Ziling hurriedly led the way, and Taixuanti left the concubine and went straight to the Jingnian Zen Temple.

Outside Luoyang City, in the air outside the Jingnian Zen Temple, Taixuan held the concubine Xuan in his right hand, and held Xu Ziling in his left hand, looking down at the entire Jingnian Zen Temple from the air.

But see the buildings in the Jingnian Zen Monastery are arranged in turn on the central axis of the temple gate, with the copper hall as the center of the Zen Monastery, the norms are neat, the buildings in the temple add up to more than hundreds, just like a small city, there are seven halls in the middle and a small copper hall with a width and depth of three zhang each, up to a small copper hall of half a zhang, Taixuan knows that it is used to collect the place of "He's Bi".

In addition to the bronze hall, all the buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, the color is as new, there is a vast up to 100 zhang in front of the copper hall, it is made of white stone, the platform square that surrounds the white stone carving railing, the middle place enshrines a bronze statue of Manjushri riding a golden lion, there are three Buddhas such as Medicine Master, Shakya and Mida next to the shrine. Colored plastic gold ornaments, quite bold, in addition to the four stone steps at the entrance, evenly distributed 500 Arhats, all of them are cast in gold and bronze, all of them have lifelike expressions.

Tai Xuan calculated that the gold and copper needed to build the copper hall was simply astronomical, and in this world, it was like Luoyang, Chang'an, such a rich and huge city, there may not be so much gold and copper used to cast a huge temple hall.

Even Taixuan, with his experience and knowledge in the four worlds, the national teacher of a country, and the venerable master of the Quanzhen Sect, were also amazed. Even in the later era when science and technology were developed and the country was rich, with far more financial resources and architectural casting capabilities than this era, I had never heard of such a luxurious and magnificent bronze hall.
