Chapter 574: The Monk Dies, Asks for Money
There are really a lot of people who come to Huangze Temple to incense today, and the tourists are like weaving, and it is very lively. If you want to enter the Daxiong Treasure Hall to throw incense and throw lots, you have to queue up.
Cui Geng was not in a hurry, he first took Di Guangzhao to walk around the Huangze Temple, and even carefully investigated the cliff Buddha statue in the back mountain of the Huangze Temple.
Of course, trying to find Di Guangzhao's clues to write down those receipts here is really like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I have been shopping for a long time and found nothing.
Seeing that it was almost noon, he rewarded ten taels of gold, ordered the monks to drive away the idle people, and led everyone to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Looking up, in the middle is the Buddha statue of Wu Zetian, the figure is like an ordinary person, with a square forehead and a wide neck, a serene demeanor, wearing a Buddhist crown, wearing a monk's and nuns' robes, wearing a plain silk on the shoulders, a collar with a circle, and his hands are folded on his knees, making a meditation seal in the Dharma realm.
The most striking thing is that Her Majesty's right hand is slightly extended, holding a very small jade seal, which is turquoise in color. Strange, whether as the emperor or as a pure light goddess, Wu Zetian should be holding the golden seal, what is the matter with this little green seal?
"Amitabha!"
At this moment, the middle-aged monk in front of the Buddha statue pronounced a Buddha horn and said, "This benefactor has been staring at this jade seal, but is it strange about the origin of this seal?" ”
"That's right, please ask the master to solve your doubts."
"Solve the doubt, of course, but ......" As he spoke, the monk stretched out his hand, chuckled, and said, "This confusion cannot be solved in vain. ”
Isn't it just asking for money? Say it early!
Cui Geng casually handed over a tael of gold and said, "Is it enough?" ”
Unexpectedly, the monk pushed slightly, and said: "One or two gold and ten yuan, if this money is taken out by others, it is not only enough, but also surplus." But if it's the donor...... Not enough, not enough. ”
"Huh? Do you know this officer? ”
The monk was noncommittal and said, "Whether you know it or not, you look like a rich and noble person with this benefactor." Taking out such a small amount of money really doesn't match your identity!
After a pause, he added: "My Buddha is the fairest, as long as you serve the Buddha sincerely, you will not let the donor suffer." ”
Cui Geng heard that there was something in his words, and said, "How much do you want?" ”
"A thousand kans!"
"What? A thousand? Great monk, don't you catch a few big guys, and the people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants! Cui Geng hadn't spoken yet, Song Genhai was already anxious, and said, "A thousand runs?" It's hard to say whether your Huangze Temple has a thousand alms a year! ”
The monk was not angry, and said, "This good believer is not bad. However, that's because the people who usually come to this temple to worship are ordinary people, how can they be equal to this nobleman? ”
"Even if he is noble, he can't ask for so much, right? Besides, I don't believe it, the secret of the jade seal of the Buddha statue can be worth so much money? When we ask others, can't we ask? ”
The monk said firmly: "No one else knows as much as the poor monk knows." ”
Seeing that this monk was so calm and relaxed, Cui Geng was really interested, and said, "A thousand guan? Okay, just a thousand. ”
After speaking, he took out a few money tickets from his sleeve pocket.
Only then did the monk unravel the mystery and said, "According to legend, when Your Majesty was born, he cried for seven days and seven nights. Somehow, the family invited the old immortal Yuan Tiangang. Yuan Daochang stuffed this jade seal into her hand and said, "The military generals are all in place, don't worry", Your Majesty stopped crying at that time. Later, His Majesty allocated fat powder money to build Huangze Temple, and ordered someone to send this jade seal to commemorate this event. ”
After hearing this, people believed this allusion at that time...... It's weird.
As we all know, when Wu Zetian was about to ascend the throne, he made a lot of auspiciousness, somewhere the hen became a rooster, somewhere someone saw the dragon and the phoenix appear at the same time, the phoenix was on the dragon, and even the strange stones in Luoshui, etc., endlessly.
There are even more mysterious stories about Wu Zetian. For example, Yuan Tiangang once thought about meeting the empress, saying that this woman "has dragon eyes and phoenix eyes, if she is a woman, she should have the world". For another example, Li Junxian's descendants wrote a book, saying that his ancestor was ordered to be killed by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, because his small life was called "Five Niangzi", but he actually died for Wu Zetian.
The legend of this jade seal should have been born at that time.
Just this broken story, can it be worth a thousand dollars? It's not worth anything!
Cui Geng's nose was so hung that he said, "Great monk, what do you call your Dharma name?" ”
"Amitabha, the origin of the poor monk's law."
Cui Geng sneered and said, "Monk Benyin, since you can see that I am not an idle person. You should understand that the money of a person like me is easy to take, but ...... It's not a good flower! ”
"This nobleman, please take a break from the wrath of thunder and slow down the power of the tiger and wolf!" Monk Ben Yin put his hands with ten, bowed slightly, and said: "Actually, this is just an introduction, about this jade seal, there is the following." ”
"What's next?"
The monk stretched out his hand again and said, "Please hand over another thousand times, the poor monk will know everything and say everything." ”
Cui Genghao was overwhelmed and said, "Didn't you already receive the money once?" Why more? ”
Monk Ben Yin said confidently: "The secret on the surface of this jade seal is indeed not worth a thousand yuan. But the next secret is more than a thousand miles, and if you calculate it carefully, you will not suffer a loss from this nobleman. ”
"Don't listen to him!" Song Xue'er said: "This old monk is deliberately cheating us of our money!" Let's throw a lot to ask about marriage, no matter what the jade seal is. ”
Cui Xiufang said sourly: "I really can't wait, I just don't know, if you ask for a sign, how should you end it?" ”
Song Xue'er raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly: "The slave family believes that the marriage between me and Cui Chawan is a match made in heaven. Someone...... The same surname is not for marriage, but it is not tolerated by the world! ”
The last sentence poked Cui Xiufang's sore spot, gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, Monk Benyin, now you can take out the sticker, so that this girl will die of that heart early." ”
"It's not difficult to get the sticker...... Ben Yin smiled slightly, stretched out his hand again, and said: "Count a lot, it's also a thousand yuan." ”
"What? It's going to take a thousand too? ”
"If it's someone else, don't say a thousand, it's a thousand, it's enough. But this female benefactor has a precious status......"
Cui Xiufang interrupted: "Okay, okay!" I can hear it, dare you to do this to everyone! Hmph, she used to be a green ~ Lou woman, how can she talk about what status is precious? . You obviously see that we have money, so the lion opens his mouth! ”
The monk pointed at Song Xue'er and said, "Whether it counts or not, it's all up to this female benefactor, you don't have to bother!" ”
"Well said!"
Song Xue'er was very relieved when she heard this, and took out a stack of money tickets from her sleeve pocket, no more, no less, just a thousand guan, put it into the monk's hand, and said, "Now you can let me throw a lot, right?" ”
"Of course."
After a while, the monk took out a stick holder from behind the Buddha statue, handed it to Song Xue'er, and said: "When the poor monk recites the last section of the "Great Cloud Sutra", and the scriptures are recited, the little lady can throw the lottery." ”
"The slave family understands."
"That's what I smelled. At one time, the Buddha was in the mountains of the royal house. Ninety-eight thousand monks with the great bhikshus. Mahakasya, etc., and for the first ......"
As the voice of the monk Ben Yin sounded, Song Xue'er's expression also became serious and solemn.
After the scriptures were recited, she knelt on the ground and prayed sincerely: "The Pure Light Heavenly Maiden is above, and the disciple Song Tao sincerely prays: In this life and this life, I am willing to marry Cui Geng of Qingyuan County, and I will always be married and grow old together." Look at the heavens and have mercy. ”
Then, gently shake the bucket.
Crash~~
Suddenly, two sticks flew out of the holder, one left and one right.
Monk Benyin picked up the stick and looked at it, and said in surprise: "This time, it's ...... Amazing! ”
