Baizhou is also connected to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but compared to Cangzhou, it is still a little behind, and it is still the second military important place in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Young master, I heard that Baizhou's snow-stepping BMW is particularly a divine horse, I don't know what kind of divine horse method it is. "With Xiao Xianzhi and the two of them walking, Qigui is also happy to be idle, the backpack that was originally one of his heights is now very stingy on Niu Batian's body, but the silver in the package is not worried about others holding it, so it is better to say that it has been replaced by a thick stack of silver tickets in the pocket of his underwear, and he has to check it several times before going to bed almost every night to sleep soundly.

Su Wen walked along the official road unhurriedly, and only when he got out of the boundary of Cangzhou, he felt what it means to raise a person with water and soil, and it is such a resident of the two states that are adjacent to each other, and it is estimated that it is only a hundred miles away from the boundary monument, and you may not understand if you really point at your nose and scold you.

"No matter how Shenjun's horse is, it is not as spiritual as the original four eggs, and I don't know if Li Fatzi has taken good care of it. Su Wen said wistfully, he is a companion who has accompanied him for a long time, Qigui may care about those dispensable silver, for Su Wen, the beast is actually no different from a human, it is willing to carry you, you are responsible for feeding it, this is the love.

"I can't tell you're still a nostalgic person. "Hu Xiancao's appearance is simply astonishing, his facial features are exquisite, especially those eyes, which are usually exposed outside the veil, which make people think about it, and now that the scar has retreated, it is really appropriate to wear light makeup and heavy makeup, if it weren't for Su Wen's early time when he saw the other party break his appearance, otherwise he would not believe that there is really such a wonderful medical skill in the world.

"Always, or else, you'd better put the veil on! I'm afraid that another creature who doesn't have long eyes will come up and touch the mold. Su Wen said jokingly, if it is not a joke, it is this short hundred miles, I don't know how many croppers have followed all the way to see here.

"Hmph. Hu Xiancao slashed at the other party with his eyes, and reluctantly took out the veil, "Didn't your senior brother tell you where the Lonely Heart Temple is? ”

The Northern Wei Dynasty worships the Buddha, the Southern Tang Dynasty believes in religion, these are the things that have been handed down as early as a hundred years ago, the Taoist Zhongguan is the Taoist holy land of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Three Buddha Temple is the gathering place of the Buddha head of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but with the cultural exchanges between the north and the south, the temples of the Southern Tang Dynasty have only increased, and in the small ten years, the four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain, there is a faint tendency to overshadow Taoism, and even the royal brother of the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty is a Taoist monk, and in the Northern Wei Dynasty, regardless of the impact of Taoist culture, he has always only recognized Buddhism as the first orthodoxy。

"I asked Song Lao, and he said that the temple is very peculiar, and it is said that the Bodhisattva Buddha statues in it are all carved by one person who presides. Su Wen said softly.

"What's so difficult about this, give me a rock, and I can make a person. Niu Batian slapped his round head and laughed stupidly.

Su Wen endured for a long time before he finally didn't slap the top of the other party's bare head, and said angrily: "If this is the case, there is nothing strange, the strange thing is that the Buddha statue that presided over the carving is different, not as compassionate and dignified as the ordinary Buddha, some hippie smiles, and some are even angry and hideous, to say that the disciples of Buddhism are the most cultivated, he actually carved the Bodhisattva into the appearance of mortals, it is said that it is carved according to the pilgrims and disciples." ”

"Those Buddhas don't say that all beings are equal every day, so the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas should not be ordinary beings. Hu Xiancao deliberately interjected, and he liked to see Su Wen scratching his ears and cheeks angrily.

"What do you little woman know, don't say that, where did he go to deceive so many disciples, isn't there still a saying that Buddha relies on gold clothes, and people rely on clothes?" Su Wen blushed and said reluctantly, seeing that the other party's two jade fingers immediately lost his temper, he said: "So, ah! We only need to find that strange temple to find the person carrying the sword box, hey, don't say it, it is strange enough to carry a sword box, sure enough, the strange people have all come together." ”

Inquired all the way, as Su Wen expected, when it came to the Lonely Heart Temple, the first thing people thought of was the Buddhist temple engraved with the seven emotions and six desires of the world, the Buddhists said that these are the six impurities, but the host is to engrave these great evils on the face of the Bodhisattva.

"It's good that it's not far, otherwise I don't know what year or month it will be when I get to Pingjing. As soon as Qigui heard that the Lonely Heart Temple was at the junction of the two states, he couldn't help but smile.

"What are you doing in such a hurry to go to Pingjing, do you have acquaintances?" Hu Xiancao teased Su Wen and began to have fun with the little servant again, she laughed almost more times these days than in the years after her mother's death combined.

As soon as Qigui heard the word acquaintance, his little face suddenly turned red, and he said hesitantly: "No, I'm just afraid that the young master will delay the day of entering the school." ”

Who knew that his young master had helped his rival this time, slapped Qigui on the shoulder with a wicked smile, and said happily: "No, don't you want to see Miss Qiaoqiao." ”

Qigui's face turned even redder, and he simply turned his head, but he happened to be facing the little Xianzhi on Niu Batian's back, and the little girl looked at him innocently, and asked happily: "Brother Qigui, who is Qiaoqiao girl!"

"Yes, now there is such a little trouble, have you figured out how to explain it to Qiaoqiao?" Su Wen said with added fuel to the fire, since he was born, the two of them had never won a bickering with each other.

"Ignore you. Qigui scolded angrily, kicked the raised stones on the road, and rubbed his feet for a long time, not because he felt pain in his feet, but because he felt sorry for the boots he bought.

Hu Xiancao shook his head and sighed lightly, "Alas, if someone's girl marries you, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a bad luck." ”

————

Most of the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty believe in Buddhism, many of them are pious, and then count the Buddha who has earned a lot of money in the Southern Tang Dynasty in recent years, the most popular livelihood in Kyushu is only afraid of the number of shaved masters, the temples of the Northern Wei Dynasty are no matter how big or small, how the decoration is, the sesame oil money will not be less, but unlike the halfway monks in the Southern Tang Dynasty, most of the temples in the Northern Wei Dynasty were made of ascetics step by step, and the money on weekdays either changed hands and gave to the poor people, or it was handed over to the treasury, which is why the status of Buddhism was so deep-rooted in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the person in power did not like such a force that could collect wealth and did not love money。

However, there is a temple in Baizhou that is surprisingly small, and there are not even a few monks who welcome guests, only a monk over forty years old, wearing an ordinary monk's robe in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and smiling at the pilgrims who come and go, but it is really ironic that the temple that is not even a simple side hall is hung with the plaque of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

But these still do not affect the influx of pilgrims, and even the believers of Linzhou and even the Southern Dynasties come to worship, just to see the strange Buddha statues in this temple, it is said that the host will carve no less than ten statues of Vajra Bodhisattva every year, the demeanor is different, there are joys and sorrows, and it is not as solemn and solemn as imagined thousands of miles away, but the appearance of the Buddha who is standing in the center of the main hall is actually blank.

"Presiding, my wife gave birth yesterday when she came back from the temple. A wealthy and richly dressed merchant walked quickly to the front of the steps and smiled at the monk.

And the monk who originally maintained a kind smile immediately broke the gong, but seemed to be even happier than the other party, and exclaimed: "Really, it's a man or a woman." ”

If this scene falls elsewhere, I am afraid that it is difficult to believe that this handsome monk and the merchant wife were just pure preaching yesterday, but the pilgrims here are not strange, and even many men showed envious looks, looked at the wife beside them, and kowtowed in front of the devout Buddha.

"Boy, thank you so much. The merchant thanked him again.

The cloth-clothed monk just smiled slightly, how did he return to the ancient well in the blink of an eye from that exaggerated look, I am afraid that this is what they often say about becoming a Buddha on the ground!" "Congratulations to Lord Liu Shiren, I came here today to ask for a statue of Buddha for all living beings." ”

"The host is right! The merchant became more and more excited, and he was extremely looking forward to the Buddha statues of all beings that the other party was talking about.

The monk smiled slightly, and shouted to the little monk who didn't know whose girl's hand was pretending to be a fortune teller in the distance: "No, you can look at the palmistry of the fart, go and bring the mud on the left side of the teacher's room, the statue of the Buddha of all beings." ”

The little monk who was shaking his head and shaking his head and saying something in his mouth heard that the master had dismantled her platform, and reluctantly let go of the other party's hand, and responded in frustration, and ran quickly towards one of the only two rooms, as soon as he entered the door, he saw that there was a man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes who was drinking tea freely, the little monk did not panic, but was very comfortable to salute the other party, and the other party also smiled at him in return, and then picked up the clay statue on the left side of the table and ran out quickly.

The Liu merchant was holding a portrait of a baby in his hand, and looked at the clay statue handed by the cloth-clothed monk for some reason, and asked in surprise: "Host, don't you want to see what the child looks like first?"

The cloth monk stretched out his hand and pointed, only to see that the appearance of the baby on the portrait was the same as the face of the Buddha, and the Liu merchant who saw it was not surprised, and only gasped for breath after a long time and exclaimed: "The host is really powerful, and he already knows the appearance of the child, with this statue of the Buddha of all beings, the child will be able to live a long life, and the disease will not invade, thank you for the host, thank you to the Buddha." ”

Then he took out a large silver ticket from his arms and handed it to the other party reverently, and then happily left with the clay statue.

The little monk touched his head, turned around and asked, "Master, how can you guess what that baby looks like?" ”

"Wouldn't it be better to take the appearance of Lord Liu and his wife together, unless the woman Liu ...... Ahem, little ones don't ask so many boring questions. The cloth-clothed monk gently tapped the other party's little bald head.

"I didn't ask anything, you were all talking. The little monk touched his aching head aggrievedly and muttered, "In that case, master, why do you still ask whether it is a man or a woman." ”

", I'm a looker, not a fortune teller. ”

"By the way, master, are the statues of the Buddha you made really useful? Otherwise, the master will also make one for me! I also want to live a long life, I was infected with the wind and cold when I was socializing in the spring and winter of the previous year, and the taste was really unpleasant, I heard that when I became a Buddha, I was carefree, I could not be bitten by mosquitoes, I didn't have to be hungry, I was not tortured by illness, master, you also let me become a Buddha!" The little monk grabbed the master's wide sleeve and swayed from side to side, pleading pitifully.

The cloth-clothed monk lovingly stroked the little monk's head, and said to himself: "If you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it, you can't get through! If you want to live a long life, you have to rely on your own exercise, and when you can put your face on the Buddha statue in the middle of the main hall, you will really become a Buddha, and then the clay statue you make may be used again." ”

"So you lied to them, and I'll say how could a clay man sell for five hundred taels of silver. ”

Pop, the loving touch immediately turned into a ruthless spur, the cloth-clothed monk hurriedly covered the little monk's mouth, nodded and smiled at the pilgrims, and then whispered: "What is a lie, if I don't say it, there will be it, if you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, if you have to say it, it can only be that the Buddha deceived them, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

The little monk broke free of the master's broad palm, and said unconvinced, "Strong words, when I become a Buddha that day, I will blame you as a liar." ”

The monk in cloth did not get angry, but patted the little monk who was only half his height and murmured: "Okay! No, when you become a Buddha, then you will really believe in Buddhism as a teacher." ”

"Master, the benefactor in your room has been living for several days, and I haven't seen him pay, when will he leave!"

"My temple opens the door of convenience, regards money as dung, he can live as long as he wants, no, if you have always valued money so much, but there is no chance to become a Buddha. ”

"Fart, there was a beggar who wanted to hide from the rain that day, master, you took half a steamed bun from others, and I saw the donor chasing the master yesterday, master, do you owe money to others." ”

"Amitabha, I don't understand, I'm tired of being a teacher, you are here to pick up guests for your teacher. ”

"Eh, master, you haven't answered me yet, don't run!"
