Master Immeasurable looked at him with a smile and did not make a sound, motioning for him to continue. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shi Jingjiao continued, "Mr. Zhao is willing to scatter all his family wealth and repair the White Horse Temple to express his sincerity and drive away the evil spirits in his heart!"

Master Wuliang's face changed slightly, Fang Cai's smile flashed, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Since Mr. Zhao has a heart, why don't you take refuge in my Buddha and become a master outside!"

As soon as this remark came out, several people were taken aback.

Xie Tong couldn't cry and laughed, "Master, the contemptible person is a person with a family, and the master, as the supreme Buddha and Taoist, how can he let himself abandon his wife and children, which is extremely inconsistent with the concept of Buddhism to purify all sentient beings."

Sima Xiangru took the opportunity to say, "Master, Mr. Zhao is willing to rein in the precipice, and he is willing to be good, why can't he be given a chance! Not to mention that rebuilding the White Horse Temple is a great good thing, which can save the temple two taels of silver, and can also renovate the temple, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!"

Master Wuliang said, "The general doesn't know, the temple is not built for a long time, and if it is rashly renovated, it will cost the people and money, and it is not very desirable." ”

Shi Jingjiao suddenly laughed, and said, "As far as I know, the White Horse Temple is divided into two parts, namely the front yard and the back yard, the front yard is indeed newly built, but the back yard has gone through the wind and rain of the years, I am afraid that it has a history of hundreds of years, this renovation and repair, how about renovating the backyard!"

Master Wuliang's face changed again, although he tried his best to restrain his mentality, but the slight changes were still seen by Xie Tong, and this look deepened his idea even more - the existence of a mystery in the backyard house.

Master Wuliang said faintly, "Zhu Shaoxia is really knowledgeable, and he actually knows the situation of the White Horse Temple, yes, the backyard was built at the end of the Three Kingdoms period, it does have a long history, it has been handed down to this day, it is a rare temple through the ages, and the old man is afraid that the ancient temple will be destroyed in the renovation, so is it not a sin?"

Xie Tong smiled and said, "Master don't worry, the purpose of this time is only to repair, not to transform, and there will be no changes to the structure and appearance, and the craftsmen are all invited from the Western Regions, so they will not damage a single grass or tree."

Master Immeasurable shook his head and remained silent.

Shi Jingjiao saw that the monk was silent, so he had to say, "The master has pushed a thousand obstacles, could it be that there is some secret in this ancient temple?" I also hope that the master Yucheng will be grateful." ”

As soon as these words came out, Master Wuliang sighed and said, "The young heroes think too much, the ancient temple is just a precious historical relic, since you are so insistent, the old man is pushing three obstacles and four is too petty, but this matter is very important, not the old man alone can decide, you need to discuss it with other senior brothers." ”

Shi Jingjiao smiled and said, "Okay, master, please, let's wait again!"

Master Immeasurable reluctantly got up and left.

According to Xie Tong's estimation, Master Wuliang must have gone to study with the Four Great King Kongs, no matter how respectful the status of the White Horse Temple is, it is always a religion, and it is restricted by the rulers of the current dynasty, and Sima Xiangru has come forward, so he has to pay attention to this matter.

After Fang Cai's discussion, Sima Xiangru instead worshiped the god operator even more, he was not only proficient in metaphysics, but also erudite and talented, and was able to get the appreciation and admiration of the immeasurable master, which was enough to impress him. He smiled and said, "Brothers are really talents from the past and the present, and they are admired, I don't know if they are interested in politics!

Shi Jingjiao laughed and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the general, I'm a Taoist, I am determined to travel all over the world, and I will leave Luoyang in a short time, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the general's wishes, if I have this idea one day, I will definitely take refuge in the general!"

Sima Xiangru showed a disappointed look, he was definitely not pretending, he is now the overlord of one side, and gradually has the ambition to develop his power and dominate one side.

At this moment, the immeasurable master went and returned, and the melancholy color of Fang Cai had been swept away, replaced by a sense of relaxation.

Xie Tong was stunned for a moment, it could be that this old monk came up with a countermeasure.

Shi Jingjiao asked, "The master discussed it so quickly?"

Master Wuliang smiled and said, "Repairing the White Horse Temple is a meritorious thing, how can the old man bear to refuse, just discussed with the senior brothers, everyone unanimously supports this matter, ha, I don't know when you will start construction!"

Xie Tong said, "The sooner the better! The relevant craftsmen have been well prepared, just wait for the stone and wood to arrive, and then they can start work! It will take about three or five days!"

Master Wuliang smiled and said, "Although you are allowed to repair the White Horse Temple, the old man has said first, first, this repair, the cost needs to be solved by yourself, and the White Horse Temple is not able to raise more silver taels!"

Xie Tong smiled and said, "This is natural, the matter of the silver two will be solved by us!"

Master Wuliang nodded with a smile and said, "Second, the original appearance of the ancient temple must be guaranteed."

Shi Jingjiao said, "This is certain, Mr. Zhao is dedicated to the Buddha, and he will definitely not do this!"

Master Immeasurable continued, "Thirdly, all the work must be carried out during the day, and the craftsmen must leave this place after the work is completed! If the above conditions are violated, the repair will end here. ”

Xie Tong said in his heart, it turned out that Master Wuliang was playing this abacus, but as long as they were allowed to come in, everything would not be a problem.

He laughed and said, "Okay, we will definitely remember the master's advice, and we will not disappoint the master."

After the few people left the White Horse Temple, Sima Xiangru proposed to go to the emerald green in the south of the city to have a drink to celebrate the completion of the matter.

The two couldn't refuse, so they had to follow Sima Xiangru to the Jade Tower.

After arriving at the Jade Tower, Sima Xiangru walked upstairs without saying anything, obviously extremely familiar with this place.

The shopkeeper followed behind him, and said with a smile on his face, "General, please upstairs, is it still the same?"

Sima Xiangru said, "It's the same old way!

The shopkeeper was busy leading the way, and everyone entered a quaintly decorated room on the second floor.

After a few people sat down, Sima Xiangru smiled and said, "This time the matter went extremely smoothly, I didn't expect Master Wuliang to speak so well!"

Xie Tong said, "It's all the general's face, the master is the supreme of Buddhism, it is difficult for ordinary people to see him, this time it is smooth, it is also for the sake of the general's face, otherwise how can it be so smooth!"

Xie Tong's sycophant Sima Xiangru was extremely comfortable, just looking at Sima Xiangru's expression, he knew that he was very useful, Sima Xiangru was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao is serious, the master is a reasonable person, how can he make things difficult for us." ”

When the wine and food were not served, Xie Tong raised his wine glass and said, "Zhao is just a gambler, a person in the market, I never thought that I would be able to meet a person like the general in my lifetime, and the villain respects the general with a glass!"

Sima Xiangru smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, please don't be like this, as Master Wuliang said, all living beings are equal, although I am a nobleman, I have never distinguished between nobles and Hanmen, and they are still treated equally, Brother Zhao doesn't need to say much, let's have a drink! Brothers, please!".

The three of them raised their glasses and drank them all.

Sima Xiangru said, "Brothers, Brother Zhao, now that the White Horse Temple is being repaired, there is one thing that needs to be clarified."

The two of them were busy sitting down, waiting for Sima Xiangru's next words.

Sima Xiangru said, "The two brothers don't have to be nervous, what Xiangru said is about the problem of silver taels, presumably the two of them also know that the cost of repairing the White Horse Temple is very high, but it is like competing with the Wu family some time ago, and a lot of silver taels were removed from the miscellaneous pit of Wu Zhiting, and they are all treasury silver, and now the treasury is empty, and Xiangru is about to get too much silver, so it is tentatively decided to give out 20,000 taels first."

With that, he took out the silver ticket from his bosom and put it on the table.

Xie Tong smiled and said, "The general doesn't have to blame himself, this matter is all caused by his own sins, and he should bear it, and the rest of the silver taels required will be paid by himself!"

Sima Xiangru waved his hand and said, "How can this be done, the eldest husband is hard to chase after the horse, not to mention that it is my Sima Xiangru, the same meaning of the silver spent this time, you and I are half out, but first paid by Brother Zhao, the next day Xiangru has sufficient funds, and then return it to Brother Zhao!"

Xie Tong still insisted, Sima Xiangru's face sank, and said, "If Brother Zhao doesn't agree, I will terminate the repair of the White Horse Temple."

Xie Tong had no choice but to pretend to be embarrassed and said, "That's it, according to the general's wishes!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, and the commotion was mixed with the sound of quarrels, as if someone was arguing.

Then there was shouting and swearing.

Sima Xiangru pouted at Xie Tong and motioned for him to go out and take a look.

Xie Tong hurriedly got up and went out, gently pulling the door open.

He looked at it, and it turned out that it was two people in the private room who were scolding, it seemed that it was because of a young woman, one of whom had a large number of people, and it should be a figure from a certain family, while on the other side, Xie Tong was very familiar with it, and the crowd was actually mixed with Cao Pingyang and others, and Feng Wuhe was also with him.

Although Cao Pingyang and the others are few, they are all strong in martial arts, and the other party is obviously not an opponent.

Xie Tong saw Cao Pingyang, and Cao Pingyang also saw him.

Xie Tong hurriedly returned to the private room and said, "General, it seems that the master brought by Lord Taiwei is fighting with others."

Sima Xiangru was a belligerent man himself, and now that he heard that his own people were arguing with others, he couldn't bear it, so he stood up and walked out of the private room.

I only listened to a man dressed in fancy clothes on the other side, "I see that you are tired and crooked, and you dare to do something to us, and you don't ask me if Luoyang Wang Yuanbo is easy to provoke." If you know each other, quickly apologize to the master. ”

Cao Pingyang and the others saw Sima Xiangru come forward, but they didn't say anything, waiting for Sima Xiangru to solve the matter.

Sima Xiangru walked in front of Wang Yuanbo and said, "Wang Yuanbo, what is your relationship with Wang Lao Situ in Luoyang?"

Wang Yuanbo saw that the other party was heroic, but his self-serving family was powerful, and he put on a look of not being afraid of heaven and earth, and said, "That's my grandfather, tell you, my grandfather is the third old minister, even Sima Xiangru has to be respectful when he sees it, if you are afraid, get out quickly."

Xie Tong couldn't help but almost laughed, Sima Xiangru had the best face, and saying such things in front of him was simply not a long head.

Sima Xiangru let out an "oh" and said, "It turned out to be Wang Lao Situ's beloved grandson, disrespectful and disrespectful, let's stop today's business! I am Sima Xiangru, please go back and inform Wang Lao Situ, I will visit another day." Ladies and gentlemen, come to my private room. ”

With that, he turned around and returned to the private room, leaving the stunned Wang Yuanbo to stay where he was.

Sima Xiangru said: "How could there be a dispute with them." ”

Feng Wuhe said with a smile, "I saw that the girl in the Moon Tower opposite looked quite marked, so I called to accompany the wine, but I was intercepted by this kid." This man was not only arrogant, but also insulting, so he taught him a lesson."

Cao Pingyang laughed and said, "Have you seen his appearance, Fang Cai still looks like he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and when he heard the general report to his home, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to fart, he was so happy to kill the old man."

A few people gossiped, and Sima Xiangru said, "Let's stop this matter!" Wang Lao Situ III is an old minister, and he is also a little hard for the empire, if he doesn't come to provoke us, we don't have to provoke her, come on, let's drink!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.

Cao Pingyang said stupidly: "Why did the general go to the same place with the god operator and Zhao Wuyang!"

Sima Xiangru said, "Brother Zhao intends to spend a lot of money to rebuild the White Horse Temple, and Xiangru will introduce them to the immeasurable master!"

Cao Pingyang let out an "oh" and did not follow. Although Xie Tong didn't look at him, he deeply felt that Cao Pingyang's gaze swept over him. He raised his head suddenly, looked directly at Cao Pingyang, and said with a smile, "It turns out that this is the Cao seniors of Weizhen Jiangnan, disrespectful and disrespectful, when I first met that day, no one recommended the juniors, what a pity!"

Cao Pingyang stared at it for a long time and said, "I don't know why Mr. Zhao wants to repair the White Horse Temple!"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Tong's heart shook faintly, and a strange feeling arose, he felt that Cao Pingyang had doubts about him, after all, among so many people, Cao Pingyang had the most contact with him, just looking at the question that seemed to be logical, but in fact, it was a stone to ask for directions, and he had to answer seamlessly.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "I don't want to do this, it's just that the master of the god operator asked the villain to repair the Buddha's fate, so he has this move, but I'm afraid that after repairing the White Horse Temple, I will go bankrupt."

Cao Pingyang stared at the divine operator and was silent.

Feng Wuhe took a bite of the dish and said, "I am angry when I mention the old man Wuliang, obviously with ill intentions, but he pretends to be sanctimonious, and the general begs him this time, I am afraid that it will take some effort." ”

Sima Xiangru said, "This bit of face, Master Wuliang still has to give it, not only that, but he is also impressed by the divine operator, and he also discusses the integration of nobles and Hanmen with Brother Zhao!"

Feng Wuhe said angrily, "A nobleman is a nobleman, a cold door is a cold door, it is impossible to integrate the two, just imagine, a nobleman who has been standing for hundreds of years, why should he be on an equal footing with your cold door, it is ridiculous, if I want to say that this old man, hiding in the White Horse Temple all day long, with a false heart that worries about the world, if he mixes into the rivers and lakes, I will personally take his head." ”

Xie Tong listened to the heart of the heart, and said in his heart, you Feng Wuhe is really a dog-legged face, as a cold family, he still does not want to forge ahead, it is simply hopeless, he said unhappily, "Dare to ask Mr. Feng from a poor family or a nobleman, why there is such a statement, you must know that the nobles are all set off by the cold family, and the people of the poor family are the foundation of governing the world! )
