Chapter 125 Greed is rampant

Jinsheng Temple is a Lingbao Temple, because after the death of Emperor Taizong, it has become a place to place concubines, also known as Chongsheng Temple.

Xi'an is not good at this, just drag out a scene, and there is a lot of history that needs to be known.

But if you can't tell a historical allusion or two when you visit these places, you will be ridiculed and classified as ignorant.

Jinsheng Temple is most famous for the five hundred arhats, and the "cherry banquet" held by the emperor in the Tang Dynasty for the new scholars. ”

The appearance of the five hundred arhats in Jinsheng Temple is strange, with high noses and deep eyes, which is very different from the appearance of the Central Plains people.

If Yun Zhao came, he could still tell some of the origin of the Buddha, but now, it was Gao Jie, and he had no feeling for these black Arhat statues.

Wei Tuo at the gate of the mountain holds the vajra, which means that the mountain gate is wide open, and the monks from all over the world are welcome to come to Jinsheng Temple to study and preach, and they can eat and drink for nothing here for three days.

Gao Jie looked at the Buddha statue, smiled slightly, and walked quickly into Jinsheng Temple.

He quickly found the "Great Qin Jingjiao Chinese Popular Tablet" that Yun Zhao needed, Gao Jie was not interested in the inscription, nor did he have much interest in the meaning of the calligraphy on it, after going around this monument, he folded his hands and saluted the little novice near the left: "I want to meet Elder Tan Xiu, can the little master introduce me?" ”

Xiao Shami, who was sweeping the floor, folded his hands and saluted: "The abbot is not in the temple, so he went to Longshouyuan with Zhang Fuzun to pray for rain."

I don't know what the donor is about, the abbot is not there, and the master of the house is there. ”

Gao Jie raised his hand and touched Xiao Shami's bald head, took out two persimmons from his sleeve and put them in Xiao Shami's hand and said, "How can I get this tablet away?" ”

Xiao Shami was happily biting the persimmon, and when he heard Gao Jie say this, he hurriedly said, "Give the master of the management court ten taels of silver." ”

Gao Jie was stunned for a moment, immediately squatted down and looked at Xiao Shami, then took out an egg from his sleeve, slapped it in Xiao Shami's hand and said, "However, I don't have ten taels of silver, what do you think should be done?" ”

Xiao Shami quickly stuffed the egg into his arms, looked left and right carefully, and whispered: "You can give the master who looks at the back door a load of wheat, and he will let you in before dawn, and take the opportunity to pull the stele away while the masters are in the morning." ”

Gao Jie smiled and took out another tael of silver from his sleeve and patted it in Xiao Shami's hand and said, "You are handsome and well-behaved, and you are honest, I want you to make this money, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Shami's breathing became visibly thicker, and he looked at Gao Jie for a moment, then dropped his broom and ran.

Gao Jie looked at the back of Xiao Shami, not worried at all, and turned around to look intently at the stone tablet that Yun Zhao wanted.

This stele is one zhang high, three feet wide, half a foot thick, plus the base of the cloud head, the weight is not less than a thousand catties, Gao Jie pondered for a long time, I don't know how to make this stele out of Jinsheng Temple.

Just as he was thinking of a way, the little novice came to Gao Jie out of breath, stood beside Gao Jie and gasped for a long time, before he said categorically: "Add two taels of silver, and before dawn tomorrow, take the stone tablet at the root of the west wall." ”

Gao Jie smiled silently, touched Xiao Shami's sweaty bare head and said, "Okay, if you say it, I'll add two taels of silver to you, and make up five taels for you." ”

Xiao Shami's little face turned red, and he said after a while: "We want copper coins for these four taels of silver, Hongwu money!" ”

Gao Jie smiled: "No problem, let's say okay, before dawn tomorrow, I will take the stone tablet at the root of the west wall!" ”

Seeing that Gao Jie was leaving, Xiao Shami whispered worriedly, "Remember to come tomorrow." ”

Gao Jie smiled and waved his hand.

"Remember to bring the money tomorrow!"

Gao Jie took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and threw them to Xiao Shami, and then he left Jinsheng Temple.

Back at the inn, Yun Yang was leaning on the door frame and staring intently at a young woman, Gao Jie came back, and he didn't even notice it.

Gao Jie followed Yun Yang's gaze, came to the woman's back with a smile, and slapped her fat buttocks, causing the woman to scream.

Gao Jie said angrily: "What roar? It hurt people to treat grandpa as a flower thief. ”

The woman looked Gao Jie up and down, and her frightened expression quickly turned into a flattering smile: "People are good people." ”

Gao Jie took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and threw it to the woman: "Stay with my brother for one night!" ”

The woman hurriedly took the silver, and said with some disappointment: "Isn't it an official?" ”

Gao Jie pointed to Yun Yang, who was leaning against the door frame, and said, "That's the main master." ”

After speaking, he returned to the inn and said to Yun Yang, who looked sluggish: "You are busy with you, I will go to Jinsheng Temple before dawn tomorrow." ”

Yun Yang looked at the young woman who walked over shyly and timidly, and replied, "What did you just say?" ”

Gao Jie said with a smile: "Grandpas come to this world, naturally they want to live happily, just a woman with a half-closed door, if you like it, you will ask, you don't say anything, they don't have the courage to come to the door." ”

Seeing that the man with eyes led the young woman to Yun Yang's room, Yun Yang suddenly grabbed Gao Jie's neck and said, "I can come nonsense, if you dare to hurt Xiuxiu's heart, be careful that Ah Zhao will not spare you." ”

Gao Jie tore off Yun Yang's hand and said lightly: "What woman haven't I seen?" I don't need you to tell me. ”

After speaking, he patted Yun Yang's shoulder and said, "Take advantage of the fact that you haven't got married, live happily a few more times, after you get married, there is no need." ”

After speaking, Gao Jie walked back to the room with a relaxed pace.

Since coming to the Yun family, Gao Jie feels very comfortable, yes, just very comfortable, although the Yun family has more rules, but there is a group of harmony, in this collective, Gao Jie has found all the things he wants.

The mood has also changed from being dedicated to making money at the beginning to liking to do things here.

It's not a pure thief, which makes Gao Jie feel happy, remembering that he almost went to Yansui to find Li Hongji, so he can't wait to slap himself twice.

Daring to buy and sell robbers in the skin of the government is something that Gao Jie never dared to think of before, and to this day, he feels that he is still living in a dream.

If you become a robber, you must act according to the rules of a robber, and since you are not a robber now, there is naturally no need to make your life infamous, so as not to leave a good name for your children and grandchildren in the future.

This night, Yun Yang was very tired!

On the fourth watch, he got up from the bed with great perseverance, threw a silver ingot to the sleepy-eyed woman, and said, "Go home." ”

Without saying a word, the woman picked up the money, hurriedly dressed herself, and left the inn.

Gao Jie sat on the board of a two-horse truck smoking a cigarette, and when he saw Yun Yang coming out of the inn, he said to the other six brothers, "Go!" ”

Yun Yang jumped into the carriage, Gao Jie looked at the tired Yun Yang and said, "Men and women are just such things, don't be fascinated." ”

Yun Yang said angrily: "Didn't I get up? ”

Gao Jie knocked the cigarette pot on the wheel and said: "Men have to do things, do their own things well, and they want any kind of woman, and the two cannot be reversed." ”

Yun Yang was somewhat ashamed, lowered his head and was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't hold back today!" ”

Gao Jie chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't hold back now, if you don't hold back at a critical moment in the future, it will be bad."

I just couldn't hold back when I was in the dart game, and I was chased and killed from Yansui to Xi'an, but that time I didn't hold back was a good thing for me, and without that time, I wouldn't have had a chance to enter Lantian County.

When this matter is done, I want to go back to Mizhi County and bring my wife back. ”

"Aren't you afraid that the dart game will chase you?"

"The bullshit dart game, I heard that we are all thieves, and now we are half officials, and we just happened to return to Mizhi County."

"I haven't heard, you have an old lady?"

"I didn't pop out of the cracks in the stones, how could there be no Lao Tzu Niang, it's just that Mizhi is too poor in that place, and I just came out to beg for a living."

It was only half an hour's journey from the inn to Jinsheng Temple, Yun Yang lay on the board of the carriage and took a nap, and when the carriage stopped, he opened his eyes and looked around vigilantly.

At this time, the morning bell of the temple rang slowly, and the sound of the monks chanting echoed in the temple along with the bell, with an indescribable solemn and solemn meaning.

There is a dog hole at the root of the west wall, which has been enlarged a lot at this moment, a small novice wearing a thin monk's robe, standing tremblingly outside the dog hole, seeing Gao Jie and his party coming, he spread his hands and said, "Where is the money?" ”

Gao Jie laughed, and threw a money bag to Xiao Shami, the weight of the money was not light, but Xiao Shami insisted on holding the bag of money, and after opening the bag and looking at the money in the meager morning light, he shouted in a low voice.

I only heard the sound of people carrying heavy objects from inside the wall, and after a while, the "Great Qin Jingjiao Chinese Popular Monument" that Gao Jie had already checked slowly emerged from the dog hole.

Gao Jie and the others immediately took over, carried the stele out of the dog hole with a pole, and finally worked together to settle the stele on the carriage, tie it with a rope, and cover it with an oilcloth.

Xiao Shami stood in front of the dog hole vigilantly with a bag of money in his face, as long as there was anything wrong with Gao Jie, he would get into the dog hole.

Gao Jie took out a bag of persimmons from his arms and threw them to the little novice and said, "If you don't like to stay in the temple, you can come with us." ”

Xiao Shami bowed down and said: "Amitabha, the little monk has promised the Buddha with his body, and he no longer has it!" ”

Gao Jie saw that the little novice was unmoved, so he laughed and drove the carriage into the thin morning mist.
