Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

From a distance, you can see the seven-story tower surrounded by iron walls!

The top of the tower, more than 20 feet high, is enough to overlook all the buildings in Chang'an City, and it is twice as tall as the Tai Chi Hall in the imperial palace!

Bells larger than human heads are hung on the corners of the eaves on each floor.

As soon as the wind blows, you can hear the melodious long chirping from far away.

In six days, a pagoda more than 20 feet high was built, and only the Liu family has such strength!

People on Suzaku Street cannot talk about this brand new temple.

They were too lazy to worry about the detours between Buddhism and Taoism. They only knew that there was a new landmark in Chang'an City.

When relatives from other places come, they can brag about it again.

"Hello, Master Xuanzang!"

"I have met Master Xuanzang!"

Pedestrians greeted Xuanzang one after another.

In their view, the claim that Xuanzang betrayed Buddhism is simply nonsense!

Most likely, those old stubborn people were jealous of Xuanzang's achievements in traveling to the west and pushed him out.

Occasionally someone called Xuanzang 'abbot', and Xuanzang would smile knowingly.

Stop and go all the way, and finally arrived at the construction site.

Xuanzang gave an order, and the servants of the Liu family began to serve porridge to the workers.

Recently, Bian Ji got very close with Lao Meng, the captain of Liu's construction team.

He filled a bowl of porridge, brought it to Lao Meng, and sat beside him, asking questions.

Lao Meng liked this handsome little monk very much. No matter how tricky the question was, he would answer it patiently.

"This job is not easy to do. Apart from our family, other construction teams have to work hungry. If you are interested, you can go to other places with Uncle Meng. You can't learn much by talking about it on paper!"

Bian Ji blinked his big eyes, obviously moved.

He looked at Xuanzang who was chatting with the workers about Zhenghuan in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Uncle Meng, do you think my master can agree?"

Lao Meng drank a big mouthful of Laba porridge, grinned when it was hot, and couldn't bear to spit it out.

God, there are longan and lotus seeds in Laba porridge!

These are precious medicinal materials!

Where can we poor people enjoy it?

It took a long time before he finally swallowed it. Lao Meng rubbed the corner of his mouth and said, "Your master will definitely not agree, but why do you ask him? Isn't it enough to just ask the young master? As long as the young master speaks, your master will not agree." There's another fart!"

Bian Ji was overjoyed, revealing his missing front tooth.

But soon, he was discouraged again.

"Master has been in a bad mood recently. If I leave with you, Master will be even more sad."

His interest in the construction business can no longer be described as interest, it is simply obsessed!

Since the moment he saw two workers lifting a huge boulder with a gantry crane, his young heart was deeply shocked.

Cement is obviously soft, but it can become stronger than stone overnight, which makes him even more fascinated.

It turned out that it didn't take long to build a magnificent temple!

There are too many problems that need to be studied.

Wouldn't it be more interesting than being bored in the room all day, pondering Buddhist scriptures?

Lao Meng finished a bowl of Laba porridge, and ran over to fill another bowl by himself. While walking back, he said, "You must learn as soon as possible, our business is in urgent need of talents!"

He sat down again, looked at the people around him, and then whispered: "Uncle Meng, I heard that the young master will reuse our construction team next year, and the annual investment will be several million! This matter, you But don't tell others that you, Uncle Meng, should count on me to be a first-class shopkeeper next year!"

After finishing speaking, he sighed, and said: "I don't know when and what month, I will be able to become an offering at home like Lao Zhou and the others."

Bian Ji asked curiously: "What is the first-class treasurer? What is the offering?"

Lao Meng thought for a while, but he didn't tell the defense machine about the promotion system set by the Liu family.

It's not that there is a need to keep it secret, but because the Liu family's promotion system is too complicated, and you may not be able to understand it after talking about the debate, and, after the talk, it may be dark

"In a word, if you want to enter the industry, you have to do it as soon as possible. I can't cheat you, Uncle Meng!"

Bian Ji nodded, and said, "I'll think about it again, and give you a letter of approval to Uncle Meng this morning!"

Lao Meng grinned.

He is very optimistic about Bian Ji's talent in the construction industry. If Bian Ji is willing to learn, he can also take in a disciple.

Xuanzang didn't know that his disciple was about to be fooled away, and he didn't have the heart to think about other things.

After delivering porridge to the workers, he started wandering around the temple.

Pushing away the monk's house, the inside is very simple and elegant, and the word "Buddha" on the wall is scrolled horizontally, which can be seen from the hands of famous masters.

Even the pillow and quilt are ready.

Entering the Daxiong Palace, the carvings on the beams and columns are extremely exquisite, showing the craftsmanship of the workers of the Liu family to the fullest.

It is the statue of Buddha in the center, which has not been loosened, and looks a little empty.

He climbed up the tower again, and went all the way to the top of the tower. Seeing the ants-like crowd below, Xuanzang wished he could shout at the top of his voice.

This is a temple all its own.

Starting tomorrow, I will be the abbot of the Great Mercy Temple appointed by His Majesty!

Xuanzang felt that his excitement was about to be overwhelmed, so he sat cross-legged on the ground and recited scriptures.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, practice the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time"

Guanyin Heart Sutra!

Xuanzang had already translated it on his way back from Tianzhu.

At this moment, when you recite it, you don't have a feeling.

After reading it seven or eight times, Xuanzang stood up, feeling much calmer.

Walking down the tower slowly, Xuanzang's face changed as soon as he came out!

I saw that the old monk Huijing appeared in the construction site, and he was talking about something.

Seeing Xuanzang coming down, old monk Huijing clasped his hands together and said, "Master Xuanzang"

Xuanzang felt a pain in his heart, and in desperation, he had no choice but to return the gift with his palms together.

"Meet Zen Master Huijing"

Chapter 461 The Gathering of Fu Lu Shou is Unspeakably Precious

After the breakup, the master and apprentice met for the first time.

The workers all sensed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and walked away wisely.

Lao Meng deliberately stepped forward to take the defense machine away, after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

Go far away with the workers and don't intervene in their teacher-student affairs.

The old monk Huijing seemed calm and calm, with a smile on his face, he said: "Zhan Master Jiexian will enter Chang'an soon, Master Xuanzang, as an eminent monk of our Buddhist sect, should he go to meet the undecided monks?" Fan?"

It was good that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Xuanzang's eyes burned.

"The Buddhism in the Central Plains and the Buddhism in Tianzhu have never had any entanglements. It doesn't matter if the poor monk doesn't go!"

"Could it be that Master Xuanzang forgot that you got your Mahayana Buddhism from Tianzhu! This trip to the east by Zen Master Jiexian is to guide the world and impart the essence of Mahayana Buddhism!"

Xuanzang stared at the old monk Huijing for a long time, and said word by word: "Mahayana Buddhism, to save people from all over the world to be good, the poor monk should really thank Master Jiexian for his kindness, but unfortunately, some people are in vain. Kill evil!"

Old monk Huijing's pupils shrank suddenly, but he hid it well, and the smile on his face didn't decrease at all.

"It seems that after Zen Master Jiexian came, if he asked about Master Xuanzang, the poor monk had no choice but to say that Master Xuanzang regarded Tianzhu Buddhism as a tiger and a wolf, so he didn't bother to welcome him!"

"Chan Master Huijing do as he pleases!"

After Xuanzang finished speaking, he didn't care what the others said, and stepped forward to start the debate.

When he passed the old monk Huijing, he paused slightly.

In a voice that could only be heard by two people, he said: "Young Master Liu already knows what happened that night, I hope Chan Master Huijing will cherish it!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't say another word, and walked out with the defense machine.

Monk Jiexian's footsteps are not unpleasant.

According to news from the Western Regions, he will enter Chang'an within ten days.

In fact, he has already arrived in Guanzhong.

On the eighth day, you will enter the city!

There are still two days left, and preparations for the grand gathering of Buddhism and Taoism are in full swing.

There are more and more monks and priests in Chang'an City.

In the past few days, the Liu family also closed the door to thank guests, and no one was allowed to come in again to learn Taijiquan from Zhang Sanfeng.

Only a few elders from the Taoist sect come to Liu's house to stay for a while every day.

It was the same today, when Xuanzang came back, he happened to meet Yuan Tiangang and others at the gate.

"Yuan Daochang"

"Master Xuanzang"

After greeting each other, Xuanzang's gaze fell on an old man in a blue Taoist robe.

"Could it be, this is it"

Yuan Tiangang said with a smile: "Mage's eyes are like torches, this is the Taoist Yuan Shoucheng with the highest seniority in my Taoist sect!"

Whether it is Yuan Tiangang and others, or Xuanzang, they are very clear in their hearts.

It is impossible for them to be friends.

But they have a common enemy, that is, many Buddhist disciples headed by Huijing.

Besides, now they are all doing things according to Liu Bai's orders, and they get along fairly well with each other.

Yuan Shoucheng is Yuan Tiangang's uncle.

If Yuan Tiangang is the leader of the Taoist sect, then Yuan Shoucheng is the one who listens to the government behind the curtain of the Taoist sect.

Xuanzang clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and said, "I've seen you, senior!"

Yuan Shoucheng looked very old, his long beard almost reached his waist.

There are not many hairs left, and they are barely tied up with a wooden hairpin. They look loose and loose, as if they are about to fall off at any time.

However, the spirit is good.

He made a Daoji with one hand, and said: "I have heard for a long time that Master Xuanzang traveled westward to Tianzhu to seek the scriptures. He is a man of great wisdom and courage. When I saw it today, it is really extraordinary!"

Xuanzang smiled wryly.

Now, when it comes to traveling west to learn scriptures, it is no different from scolding him.

"Senior praised!"

Everyone walked into the gate of Liu's house together.

Xuanzang and Yuan Tiangang had known Liu Bai very well for a long time.

But it was Yuan Shoucheng's first visit, so Liu Bai met them in the lobby.

After some courtesies, Yuan Shoucheng let out a 'huh' as ​​soon as he sat down.

"Impoverished view of Mr. Liu's face, it seems"

Halfway through speaking, he closed his mouth, frowning tightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Liu Bai's heart skipped a beat.

He is also very curious about the real boss of this Taoist sect.
