Chapter 134: I Caught a Big Fish......
The suburbs of the imperial capital are full of historic sites.
Although this imperial capital was at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many people felt that it was inferior to Nanjing, the ancient capital that occupied the rich and prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River, inferior to Chang'an, which occupied Guanzhong and was renamed by Taizu, and emotionally speaking, he was not willing to let the capital that had been occupied by the Mongols as the imperial capital, but all of them could not withstand the insistence of Emperor Taizu.
And that Emperor Taizu is an idle person, although he can't patrol the world unscrupulously, but the vicinity of Gyeonggi is still walked all over by him, leaving countless legends, and by the way, many famous places that were not too famous have become places full of tourists in one fell swoop.
For example, it was built in the Tang Dynasty, and then went through Liaojin, and was repeatedly destroyed and built Lingguang Temple.
"At the beginning, Emperor Taizu took people to Longquan Temple, and after visiting the Zhaoxian Pagoda handed down from the Liao Dynasty, he spent the night in the tower. It is said that it was that night that Emperor Taizu dreamed that he had lost a tooth. The next day, he called the presiding officer of the temple and said that he would dig up the tower. Of course, those monks refused, but when they heard that it was the emperor who came, they panicked. ”
"As a result, Emperor Taizu ordered the Ministry of Industry to transfer skilled craftsmen, and dug up the Buddha's tooth relic!"
At this moment, standing in front of the solemn Zhaoxian Pagoda after the reconstruction, Zhu Ying, who was bathed in the autumn sun, said with her eyebrows fluttering: "Because of this, Emperor Taizu later set so many rules for those Buddhist temples and monks, but no one dared to say anything, because it was not dug out of the mud, it was a large number of stone letters dug out by monks under the instructions of craftsmen!" ”
"When those monks finally took out the Buddha tooth relic, there was a Buddha tooth inscription written by the monk Shanhui on each side of the Buddha tooth box......
Listening to the story of Zhu Ying's mouth about the ancestor looking for the Buddha's tooth, Zhang Shou couldn't help but secretly pout his teeth. Taizu, the predecessor, actually dug out the Buddha's tooth that had been sealed in the dust for more than a thousand years in advance. And the purpose of digging it out is not just to add a layer of reincarnation Buddha aura to himself, but to justifiably put a mantra on the Buddhist temples and monks, which is really calculating and shrewd......
Compared to digging up other treasures, this hand is really smart!
"Just because the tooth of the Buddha was dug out, Emperor Taizu waved his pen, and Longquan Temple became Lingguang Temple. Other ancient temples and nunnery in the three mountains near here have also been found, and Taizu has added some more, a total of eight, so it is called eight places. Because there is a Buddha's tooth in Lingguang Temple, it is ranked first. ”
When Zhang Shou just went up the mountain, he found that the Chang'an Temple in the Eight Great Places was missing - but he didn't think it was strange to think that the Chang'an Temple had never been restored to its original appearance after it was also destroyed in later generations, let alone opened. After all, Emperor Taizu's Lingguang Temple, where he miraculously found the Buddha's tooth as the first place, is politically correct in this year.
As for the other ancient temples and new temples that have moved forward one by one, this kind of small problem does not matter at all.
Glancing at the endless stream of pilgrims in Lingguang Temple, Zhang Shou, who was originally looking at the open space on the side of the pagoda just now, asked in a low voice: "There are so many people, why don't we go in another day?" ”
Zhu Ying suddenly smiled understandingly, and after nodding, she led Zhang Shou to the side door. When she gradually moved away from the surging crowd, she winked at Zhang Shou: "Actually, I followed the emperor and my father here to see it when I was very young, anyway, I didn't know it, I just think that the Buddha's tooth looks quite ordinary." If you want to see it, I will tell the emperor in the future that the temple will be sealed and you will have a good look. ”
Zhang Shou suddenly sighed. He is not a devout believer, it is okay to pay respects, why bother to close the temple? When the two of them went out of the temple and Ah Liu and other guards converged, they took advantage of Youxing to climb the mountain, as for other Buddhist temples, Zhang Shou just turned around and played a card, and Zhu Ying, who was playing with him, didn't care, and he arrived at the top of the mountain in a moment.
Because I got up early and went out of Beijing, I used dim sum before going up the mountain, and it was already late afternoon when I arrived at the top of the mountain, and a few guards went to Zhang Luo's belated lunch with Ah Liu in the knowledge - the two food boxes they brought were wine and food snacks, and the food boxes were equipped with a mezzanine heated by charcoal fire, which was suitable for picnics.
But what they didn't expect was that Zhu Ying, who was talking to Zhang Shou not far away, suddenly came back.
Not only did she come back, but Zhu Ying was also unhappy, and after sitting down on a stone bench in a huff, she held her cheeks and kept silent. Seeing this scene, several guards looked at each other for a while, and some people glanced at Ah Liu with their eyes, hoping that someone could go to Zhang Shou's side to make peace. However, no matter what they looked at, Ah Liu was just like a wooden man, sitting there looking at the food box in a daze.
Didn't Zhu Ying always think that Zhang Shouqian was good? It's hard to travel today, and the atmosphere has always been very good all the way before, why did the little couple fall out? You know, Mrs. Tai also hinted before that she would get married as soon as Grandpa Guo came back!
Only Ah Liu noticed that Zhu Ying was stepping on the grass roots on the ground as if venting, and at the same time pulling an unlucky branch next to her, dragging the leaves down one by one, but from time to time she paid attention to Zhang Shou's side with the corner of her eye, and her mouth was still muttering.
"I'm angry, I don't know the hearts of good people...... Do such a dangerous thing and still send me away! ”
And Zhang Shou, who was suspected of falling out with Zhu Ying, unconsciously walked out more than a dozen steps in the other direction. He also seemed a little absent-minded, walking with his head buried in the ground and not looking ahead at all. Fortunately, the top of this mountain is not as strong as the Lingguang Temple at the foot of the mountain, so there are few people, and he didn't suddenly raise his head until he heard the argument in front of him.
"Where is this question calculated......
"You're all wrong, you should calculate it this way......"
Finding that there were three young men around the stone table in front of him, who were pointing and poking on a piece of paper, Zhang Shou was slightly stunned, and then stepped forward. Seeing that the three of them were arguing about one of the three questions that he handed over to the Shuntian Mansion and posted out, he didn't say anything, just stood there quietly.
One of the tall young men dictated the extremely tedious steps, made the question, and then boasted: "Hand it over to the scroll of the Shuntian Mansion, and that's what I did!" ”
"Hmph, that Dr. Zhang admires simplicity the most, he may not be able to see such a cumbersome algorithm of yours!"
Zhang Shou raised his eyebrows and walked straight forward, but when he just got behind them, almost before he could speak, the two young men suddenly caught up left and right, and tightly sandwiched him in the middle. And at this time, a young man who was immersed in the question as if he was doing a question raised his head.
"Sure enough, Dr. Zhang, what interests you the most can attract you."
"Who are you?"
Seeing that Zhang Shou tried his best to calm down, but his handsome face was tight, the young man who was also outstanding in appearance couldn't help but show a smug expression. He glanced contemptuously at the saber at Zhang Shou's waist, and then said casually, "Who am I?" Hehe, of course the one who gave you this sword. Unexpectedly, I hinted at you like this, not only do you not know how to converge, but you still continue to swagger. ”
"So you're the one who sent the sword to intimidate me." Zhang Shou suddenly laughed, "I thought it was a sword gift to a hero." ”
Seeing that Zhang Shou was obviously in his own hands, but he still spoke wildly, the young man was suddenly annoyed and angry. However, as soon as he thought of the purpose of the day, he took a deep breath and temporarily expelled all those negative emotions.
"Don't talk nonsense, what are you, you dare to covet Zhu Ying! If you know each other, go back to the countryside for me! If she hadn't dizzy and persuaded the dizzy old woman of the Zhu family, you would still be farming in the countryside as your mud legs......"
Zhang Shou, who had just regained his composure, gradually changed, not annoyed, but a little subtle and strange. He looked the young man up and down, and only then did he sigh until the other party gradually noticed his eyes, which seemed more and more angry and irritable, and the words that came out became more and more unpleasant.
"I said this son, you specially named me to give me an unsheathed sword to the Zhao Guogong Mansion, just to threaten me to stay away from Yingying?"
"What Yingying, what qualifications do you have to call her Yingying...... Belch! ”
Just when the young man was furious, Zhang Shou, who had just been clearly caught between the two of them, suddenly moved. He stomped the instep of the man on his left, and as he crouched down in pain, he gave the man on his right a heavy elbow. Immediately after, he took a step back before he unhurriedly drew his sword.
The special heels and elbow pads are really uncomfortable to wear, but for the sake of the convenience of hitting and kicking people, he decided to generously forgive Ah Liu's bad idea, and at the same time forgive this "love rival" who let him finally not suffer in vain.
"I've only been learning this swordsmanship for a day, I don't know how, in case I miss, please bear with me."
Seeing a cold light suddenly waving towards him, the young man's face suddenly changed greatly, completely forgetting that there was a stone table between himself and Zhang Shou, so he turned around and ran. And Zhang Shou, who was pretending to be holding a sword, saw that not far away, where the originally seemingly empty area, a few fierce men in black burst out, and when they surrounded and intercepted people, he couldn't help but sigh.
Neither he nor Wang Datou expected that the main messenger who gave him the sword had nothing to do with the secret letters he had helped Wang Datou unravel before. Now Wang Datou is about to jump like thunder, and he specially planned and arranged to lure the snake out of the hole, but it was not the mastermind behind the scenes, but such a guy.
After he proposed it yesterday, Wang Datou immediately agreed, and said that he had received the news that others were indeed waiting for an opportunity...... It was not easy for him to persuade Zhu Ying, who was not at ease, to leave a single person, but he caught such a good person!
That's a big catch......
