Chapter 5: Dreams
Chang'an City, bathed in sunshine.
Su Dawei looked up, and a round of scorching sun was in the sky.
However, the sun looked very strange, not like the sun, but more like ...... One eye.
The streets were empty and uninhabitable.
The shops were open, but there was no one inside.
Flags fluttered in the wind in front of the store, making a fluttering hunting sound, echoing in the long empty street.
Here it is......
Su Dawei frowned, feeling that the street in front of him was very familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember that it was that street.
Just when he was feeling confused, a man appeared at the end of the long street.
When he saw the man's face clearly, he was shocked again.
Lv shopkeeper? Isn't he dead? How did it end up here?
Su Dawei subconsciously reached out and wanted to draw a knife, but found that he didn't carry a saber.
Just when he was confused, Shopkeeper Lu had already arrived in front of him.
"Are you the shopkeeper Lu, or are you weird?"
Su Dawei took a step back and asked sharply.
Who knows, Shopkeeper Lu didn't pay attention to him at all, and walked forward and crashed directly into Su Dawei's body.
The moment the two touched, Su Dawei found that his body shook for a while, and the shopkeeper Lu actually passed through his body and continued to walk forward.
What's going on?
Su Da shuddered and looked down at his body.
The body, intact as before.
He hurriedly turned around, and saw that Shopkeeper Lu was walking along the long street without looking back, as if he had not found Su Dawei's existence from beginning to end.
This thing is weird!
Su Dawei's eyes rolled, and he no longer thought about his physical condition, but followed behind the shopkeeper Lu.
When he came to the cross street, the shopkeeper turned right.
Directly in front of it is a magnificent Buddhist temple.
Great Mercy & Grace Temple?
Su Dawei recognized at a glance the origin of this Buddhist temple. At the same time, he also reacted that he was in Jinchangfang in Wannian County at this time.
Daci'en Temple is one of the three major translation sites in Chang'an, and it is also the ancestral court of the Faxiang.
It is the most magnificent Buddhist temple in Chang'an City, and it is also one of the royal Buddhist temples built by the imperial decree of Li Tang.
In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, the crown prince Li Zhi, that is, the current emperor, the historical Tang Gaozong, prayed for the blessing of the dead in memory of his biological mother Empress Wende, so he searched the terrain of Chang'an, and finally decided to build the Great Ci'en Temple on the site of the Jialan Temple in Jinchangfang. Although its history is not long, it has become a pure land of Buddhism because Xuanzang translated the scriptures here.
By the way, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, one of the landmark buildings of Xi'an in the future, will be built here in the future.
Shopkeeper Lu bypassed the main entrance of the Great Ci'en Temple and entered the Buddhist Temple through the side door.
Su Dawei followed him closely and came to a desolate construction site.
He remembers the site, where it is said that after the completion of the temple, a stupa was originally to be built here. I don't want Taizong to die last year, and the project will be stopped. If his memory is correct, this suspended pagoda construction site is also where the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was later located. I wonder if this suspended stupa is the famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda?
Anyway, whether it was or not, the stupa project was stopped.
There was no one on the construction site, and it was deserted.
The shopkeeper walked under a big tree, dug a pit, put a package in it, and then covered it with floating soil.
Finally, he moved a stone from the side and pressed it against it.
After finishing, the shopkeeper Lu brushed off the dust on his body, stood next to the stone and patted it twice, revealing a weird smile.
It was at this time that the strange sun in the sky suddenly shone brightly.
The body of the shopkeeper Lu gradually faded under the sunlight......
Su Dawei opened his eyes suddenly, cold sweat on his forehead.
He had a weird dream!
The sun was shining through the windows, and it was already dawn.
He was lying on the bed, and he could clearly hear Liu Niangzi reprimanding Hei Saburo in the courtyard, and he didn't know what bad things he did last night.
Su Dawei rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, turned over and jumped out of bed.
Barefoot, he reached for the clothes that had been placed at the head of the bed, and walked out as he wore them.
Something is wrong, why is this dress so tight?
Obviously it fits well yesterday, why ...... today? He reached for the door, and with a clatter, his clothes cracked.
Standing by the door, Su Dawei was a little dazed.
"What are you doing standing there stupidly?"
Liu Niangzi walked in with a basket in her hand, and saw Su Dawei standing at the door stupidly.
She muttered and turned to enter the wing. But after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped again and turned to look at Su Dawei.
"Ami, why do you look like you've grown taller?"
"Really?"
Su Dawei walked out of the room, still with a confused expression.
Well, it looks like you've grown taller!
He turned out to be about 177 tall.
The words of Liu Niangzi standing in front of him were right to his mouth. But now, Liu Niangzi is just to his shoulder. If it weren't for Liu Niangzi getting shorter, it must have been that he had grown taller, and he had grown almost three or four centimeters taller.
"I don't know, this dress was just right yesterday, but today, somehow, it's getting smaller."
As Su Dawei spoke, he raised his arm to reveal the crack under his armpit.
Liu Niangzi glanced at it twice, shook her head with a smile, "If you grow taller, you will grow taller, your current head is not much different from your father." Well, I'll look for it, maybe it fits. I'll help you change your clothes. ”
Her eyes were a little red, but she had a big smile on her face.
Su Dawei didn't think too much about it, took off his clothes, and walked out of the room shirtless.
Hei Saburo came up excitedly and shook his head and tail at Su Dawei.
Su Dawei rubbed its dog's head with his hands, and then walked to the well next to the kitchen.
Next to the well, there is a wooden basin with clean water in it. A wet wipe, and a cup, next to it are a bristle toothbrush, and a box of green salt. The bristle toothbrush is one of Su Dawei's rare achievements in the past year. It's just that it's not easy to promote this thing, and it's not as simple as you think.
Liu Niangzi makes toothbrushes at home and sells them at Sun Kee's grocery store.
The income is not very good, but it can give some subsidies to the family. If you want to promote it on a large scale, you need time and sufficient capital. Now, it can only be a small fight, anyway, one Chongde Fang is enough.
Su Dawei brushed his teeth, washed his face, and finished washing.
He rounded noon and came to the backyard, which was about thirty square meters.
There is a rudimentary simple horizontal bar, two stone locks, a barbell made of stone, and a sandbag hanging from a tree.
He did thirty pull-ups first, and was keenly aware that the pull-ups were much easier than usual today. With a frown, he immediately sped up his movements, and did a hundred pull-ups in one go, but he didn't have any difficulty at all.
That was yesterday, but unlikely.
Immediately, he did another eighty push-ups, and it was very easy.
Su Dawei stood up and looked down at his body.
It seems that nothing has changed, but it seems that there has been a lot of change.
His strength has increased significantly compared to yesterday, and his physical strength has also become stronger.
And today's sudden growth in height...... Su Dawei couldn't help but think of the weird dream last night, and in the dream, it was like an eye hanging on the sun in the sky. Could it be that this series of changes is related to the Tenggen Pupil?
Su Dawei was puzzled, and tried the barbell and sandbag one after another.
The stone locks at both ends of the barbell were originally about 100 catties.
I used it for practice before, and the weight was just right. But today, the barbell is significantly lighter. When I hit the sandbag, my steps are much faster, and the flexibility of my body is much better than yesterday. Su Dawei studied boxing and martial arts. However, in the past, due to physical fitness, many techniques could not be used, but now, he can use them easily.
Something is wrong, this is absolutely not right.
Su Dawei was a little frightened in his heart. He vaguely guessed that this series of changes was probably related to the Tenggen Pupil. It is necessary to figure out what Tenggen Pupil is as soon as possible! Otherwise, he can't control the changes in the future.
"Ami, try on this dress."
Just when Su Dawei was panicking, Liu Niangzi shouted in the front yard.
"It's coming!"
Su Dawei hurriedly shook his head and threw away the distractions in his head.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and since you know the weird names in your body, it must be much easier to look up.
He walked quickly to the front yard and saw Mrs. Liu holding a set of clothes.
"This is the clothes I made for your father before he went to Tianzhu, and I haven't had time to wear them.
I was going to give you a taller look in two years, but I didn't expect ...... Hurry up and put it on, try to see if it fits, and I'll change it if it doesn't work. ”
Su Dawei showed a sincere smile, took it without saying a word, and put it on in front of Liu Niangzi.
He is very handsome, and with that honest smile, he produces a cute feeling, which makes people feel good.
"Mother, it fits perfectly."
"Just fit, fit!"
A relieved smile appeared on Liu Niangzi's face, and she stepped forward to straighten Su Dawei's collar.
"By the way, I'll go to Sun Ji to buy two mattresses in a while.
Chang'an is cold in spring, and it will be very cool at night. Since people have rented our house, we must take care of it. ”
"I see!"
Su Dawei responded with a smile, and then put on his boots.
"Then I'm out."
"Remember to come back for dinner at noon, I made you cooking cakes and tofu soup."
"I see!"
Su Dawei agreed and left.
Out of the house, Su Dawei walked along the alley and crossed the stone bridge over the river.
He walked to the bridge, and the back door of Lingbao Temple opened.
A pretty nun walked out with a bucket of water, and when she saw Su Dawei, she smiled and waved at him.
"Ami, are you going to be on duty at the Yamen?"
She said as she walked forward with a bucket of water.
Su Dawei hurriedly walked a few steps, came to the pretty nun's side, reached out to take the bucket, and poured the sewage into the ditch on the side of the road.
"Sister Ruyi, I'm resting today."
"I said don't call me Sister Ruyi, the poor nun is a monk now, you should call me by my Dharma name."
Su Dawei smiled, put the bucket in front of the back door of the temple, put his hands together and said, "Master Mingkong, I'm resting today." ”
