Chapter 864: The Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas is resplendent in gold

After asking one by one, Xu Shu finally had a little frown in his heart.

On the second day, Xu Shu took a group of students and many guards to a temple outside Ning'an County.

Xu Shu asked Huang Xing Baowu where Huang Yuan usually likes to go.

Although they say something different, the most common place is the same, that is, the temple outside the city.

This is a Buddhist temple, although it is located in Ning'an County, but the temple covers an area of dozens of acres, there are Buddhas, Guanyin, and Arhats in the temple.

Although it is only a temple in a small Ning'an County, there are many pilgrims who come here to offer incense.

Huang Yuan, as the commander of Ning'an County, also came to the temple every once in a while.

Xu Shu came to the temple with a group of people, he went to meet the abbot of the temple, and the others began to search the temple.

He suspected that Huang Yuan had deposited all the money he had embezzled in this temple.

"Donor, but you want to offer incense?"

"Master, I wanted to ask about Huang Yuan."

"I wonder what the donor wants to ask?" The abbot clasped his hands together, but he didn't say that he didn't know Huang Yuan.

"Is the money Huang Yuan's embezzlement hidden in the temple?" Xu Shu asked.

The abbot looks very kind, with a little bit of a monk's appearance, a gray beard, and a monk's robe is very clean.

He shook his head and said, "Lord Huang doesn't have any money to hide in the temple. ”

Seeing that Xu Shu didn't believe it, he continued: "If the donor doesn't believe it, you can let someone search." ”

"It's been searched again."

Although this temple is very large and there are many pilgrims, in front of the officers and soldiers, they can only open all the meditation rooms one by one.

Xu Shu didn't have any feelings about Buddhism.

He abandoned martial arts and studied Confucianism.

Now it is deeply influenced by Zhao Hui, thinking that it is better to seek others than to seek oneself, and worshipping the Buddha is also to seek a peace of mind, if the Buddha really has a spirit, there will be no war, no disease, and the world does not have to worry about food and clothing.

When Xu Shu spoke, he kept staring at the abbot, but when the other party heard that Xu Shu had sent someone to search the temple, his face did not fluctuate, but he put his hands together and chanted Amitabha.

"Master, have you been here all along?"

Xu Shu was waiting for the results of the search, while also chatting with the abbot.

"It's been more than twenty years. At the beginning, this temple was only two tile houses, a clay statue of Buddha, and the poor monk and the master. The abbot said.

The temple, Xu Shu had already learned a little from Huang Xing and ordinary people before.

However, it is not as detailed as the abbot said here.

In the abbot's mouth, Xu Shu quickly knew about the changes in the temple's experience in the past 20 years.

To be able to go from two tile houses, a Buddha statue, to now covering an area of more than ten acres, countless pilgrims, the golden palace is brilliant, a Ning'an County, there is this temple, it is really unexpected.

This monastery outside Ning'an County is definitely the largest and best temple in Bohai County today.

Not only the people of Ning'an County came here to offer incense, but also many pilgrims from other counties came to visit.

The temple used to be just a small dilapidated monastery that never had a name.

But now, on the gate of the temple, there is a plaque that reads Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

The tone is loud.

However, according to the development of this temple, it is really possible that there are thousands of Buddha statues in the temple today.

"The relationship between the abbot and Huang Yuan is very good?" Xu Shu asked: "I heard that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in front of the temple is still the title of Huang Yuan?" ”

"Huang Shizhu is the county order of Ning'an County, and he is also a heart to my Buddha, and he has a lot of support for this temple, and the temple was nameless, and the name of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is also Huang Shizhu thought of it, so he asked for its inscription."

"Since the temple hung the name of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, the incense is also getting more and more prosperous, and it took fifteen years to have today's grand occasion." The abbot said.

"However, in more than ten years, the abbot will be able to develop the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple into the largest temple in Jizhou, and the master who wants to come to the abbot will also be very pleased in the Western Heaven Elysium." Xu Shu said.

For the first time, the abbot showed an unnatural look on his face, and he recited again: "Amitabha, when the master of the poor monk left, he said that he would not go to the Western Heavens, he would go to hell to wash away the sins of those who had sinned deeply, so that he could become a good person in the next life." ”

Xu Shu does not believe in Buddhism, but now that Buddhism has begun to spread to the Han Dynasty, Xu Shu also has a little understanding of Buddhism, and has discussed with Zhao Hui before whether to prohibit the spread of Buddhism in the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Hui did not want to ban Buddhism, there must still be a belief in people's hearts, and there needs to be a sustenance in order to make them live strongly.

As long as it is not a cult, Zhao Hui will not ban it.

Today's Buddhism is still relatively weak in the Han Dynasty, after all, it has only been introduced to the Han Dynasty for a long time.

Although there are a group of believers, the concept of Buddhism also has some help for the stability of the place.

Here in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, there are so many pilgrims, not only because of the large scale of the temple and the large number of Buddha statues, but also because the monks here often give alms.

So that many people who can't eat enough can drink a bowl of hot porridge here, and even rest in the Zen courtyard.

There were many pilgrims, but it was the families and wealthy merchants who donated more to the temple.

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple took out this money to subsidize the displaced people.

The reputation in Bohai is also getting better and better, and the influence is getting bigger and bigger.

In the past ten years, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple has rescued many people every year, and the people who have been rescued by the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple are now twenty or thirty thousand people.

"Yuan Zhi, all the halls and all the meditation rooms before and after this temple have been searched, and no hidden money has been found." Zhao Hong came over and said.

"No?" Xu Shu looked at the abbot and said, "I don't know where the treasury of your temple is?" Can you take me to see it? ”

"Donor, please come with me." The abbot refused Xu Shu's request.

Xu Shu took Zhao Hong, as well as other students, and a group of guards, to follow behind the abbot.

In the temple, the monk guarding the treasury was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to refuse the abbot, so he got out of the way and let Xu Shu and others in.

The storehouse of the temple is large, but the most of it is grain.

There are about forty or fifty thousand stones.

There are now about 1,000 novices in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and this grain is enough for them to eat for four or five years.

In addition to food, there are also many copper coins, but for the incense of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, there are so many copper coins, which is not an accident, it is considered normal.

Every day, countless pilgrims come to offer incense, and a few will give a few cents or a dozen cents, but those families and wealthy merchants are very wrong, and they are all tens of thousands of donations, just asking for peace.

Xu Shu walked around the warehouse, and Zhao Hong also led people to knock on the wall, but he didn't find a secret room.

"Could it be that Huang Yuan's money is really not hidden here? Is he really just a follower of Buddhism? Xu Shu said in his heart.
