Compete for the Song Dynasty

Before Wang Pang could speak, Han Derong said puzzledly: "Master, my young master has just arrived here, and he just made a mistake and lost a few drinks to our brother. Why are you so polite?"

Zhe Kejun pulled Han Derong: "Don't talk nonsense, my master never argues with reasonable people, it seems that this master has something to say to you." Han Derong had just followed Wang Pang for a few days, so naturally he didn't know Wang Pang He is extremely easy-going to those around him, but there is a requirement not to offend strangers.

Wang Pang felt nothing, and reported his family name: "This master, my surname is Wang and the name is Ruo. He just came from Song Dynasty and is going to Beijing for business."

Qi Song smiled slightly. He saw that the king was also a kind-faced person, not only kind-faced but also different, so he invited: "Even so, if you want to come to this temple to have a predestined relationship, why don't you invite the benefactor to sit in the Zen room, I wonder if the benefactor will appreciate it."

The moods among the four are different.Wang Pang thought it was so-called, so he walked in; Zhe Kejun was a little suspicious, he knew that he had to be more careful on this trip, and it would be unsafe for a monk to talk to him out of nowhere.The other two admired Wang Pang very much. They had just entered the Liao Kingdom, and when they visited the temple, they were invited. [

Cigarettes curled up in the Zen room, Qi Song invited the king to sit down, and the young monk in the temple brought tea.In fact, if Qi Song didn't invite Wang Pang, Wang Pang would also find an opportunity to chat with Qi Song. The sentence just now that I don't know if Wang Pang is a person who can predict the future really attracted Wang Pang's attention.

Tianwang Temple was first built in the fifth century when Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was named Guanglin Temple.In the second year of Renshou in Sui Dynasty (602), it was called Hongye Temple.Tang Kaiyuan changed Tianwang Temple.In the 21st year of Jin Dading (1181), it was renamed Dawan'an Temple.In the Yuan Dynasty, the temples were destroyed by war, but the temples survived.It was rebuilt during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and the Xuande Temple was renamed Tianning Temple and it has been used to future generations.

Seeing Wang Pang's demeanor, and hearing the name of Tianning Temple just now, Qi Song asked out of curiosity, "How does the benefactor know that this pagoda in this temple will be called Tianning Temple Pagoda?"

Seeing Qisong's news, Wang Pang said with a smile, "When I passed by here, I saw that the pagoda is very exquisite, beautiful, upright, majestic and majestic, and this name came to my mind."

Apparently Qi Song didn't believe Wang Pang's statement, he asked: "The benefactor said this tower is exquisite, but is there any other reason?"

Seeing Qi Song questioning Wang Pang, he wondered if Qi Song knew the reason?He thought for a while: "I can see that the tower of Tianning Temple is [-] to [-] feet high. There are vajra warriors, Bodhisattvas, cloud dragons, etc. carved on both sides of the octagonal thirteen-story gate. The statues are vivid and lifelike. The eaves of the thirteen-story tower are closed layer by layer. Minus, presenting a rich and powerful rolling brake. The whole tower is handsome, tall, majestic and magnificent. Therefore, it feels exquisite."

Qi Song nodded while listening: "Does the benefactor know the mystery of the thirteen-story pagoda?"

How can this prove to Wang Pang: "The pagoda is generally a "seven-level pagoda", and the thirteenth floor is the highest level, which is usually a royal charter." But the monk didn't say anything, so he respectfully asked for advice: "I only know so much, and I hope the master will give me some guidance."

"Amitabha, the benefactor already knows a lot about this pagoda. Since you mentioned the Tianning Temple Pagoda, you have a predestined relationship with this temple. It seems that whether the temple can be saved from a catastrophe depends on whether the benefactor is willing to take action. If it is inevitable, it is God's will. "

Wang listened to Qisong's tone, it seemed that the matter was very important, and it was also related to the name in the future. He said without hesitation: "If this is the case, I would like to ask the master for advice. If I can do it, I will do my best."

Qi Song nodded and said: "Buddhism emphasizes fate. Today, I have a chance to meet the benefactor. I have something to ask." He narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about a very old thing.

Wang Pang looked at Qi Song's expression, it seems that this matter is quite troublesome.But Qi Song did not speak, but dipped his hands in a little water and drew a Tai Chi pattern on the table.Asked: "This figure is a Taoist statement. If it is not a Taoist, what does the benefactor think?"

Wang Pang was a little dazed now, besides the Taoist theory, all he knew about this yin and yang fish was this yin and yang crossing past and present stone.Should I hide something from this monk, if I don't tell him, will I miss an opportunity to find the Yuejin Stone?

He thought for a while and made up his mind and said: "My eyesight is clumsy, if it is not a Taoist theory, I think it should be an ornament."

After hearing this, Qi Song let out a long breath and said, "Sure enough, he is a destined person. It seems that there is hope for finding the treasure of the town temple."

The treasure of the town temple?Could it be this stone that crosses the past and surpasses the present? : "Master, please clarify." Wang Pang said hastily and respectfully.

Qi Song stood up, walked back and forth a few steps and asked, "Excuse me, the benefactor just now claimed to be the king, but is the king's servant who is well-known in the capital and came to Liao as an envoy?"

"It's down!"

Qi Song turned his head, stared at the king, and said: "It seems that Wang Shilang is the person this temple is looking for. Maybe only you can find the treasure of this temple." [

This monk was really long-winded, Wang Pang wished that he would speak out immediately, but he knew that there was no rush at this time, so he should give this monk some buffer.

Qi Song finally made up his mind, he said: "I also heard that Wang Shilang is a righteous person, that's why I made this request today. No matter what, Wang Shilang must agree to this old man for the sake of peace in the world."

When Wang Pang heard it, why did the treasure of the temple even include the peace of the world: "Master, don't worry, as long as I, Wang, can do it, I will definitely do my best."

Seeing what Wang Pang said, Qi Song felt at ease, and there was nothing he could do if he was not at ease. This matter was of great importance. Since Wang Pang came today, he could entrust his contribution to his wish and fulfilled a wish: "Hey, I'm going to Let’s talk. The treasure of the town temple was a strange stone in the early days of the temple’s construction. The treasure of the town temple was sealed and hidden on the No.13 floor of the pagoda. Before my master passed away, he called me into the room and asked me to do one thing. "

Qi Song recalled the past while talking:

"At that time, Master told me that when he put the stone into the pagoda with his own hands, he seemed to see that the temple would be renamed Tianning Temple, and he also seemed to see a fire that burned the temple and the pagoda. Going to see that stone, you can feel enlightenment in meditation. The place where this temple is located is the place that determines the peace of the world. After a few years, swordsmen will start from the north. Once they cross the land of Yanyun, the Central Plains will be devastated and the world will be in chaos."

Wang Pang was puzzled, this land of Yanyun really was like this, when the golden soldiers and iron cavalry crossed the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, it was the time when the Great Song Dynasty perished. "Is there no solution?" Wang Pang couldn't help asking.

"A way? The world is divided and united. There is no way. It's just that Master believes that as long as there is the treasure of the town temple, it will be able to control this place. Before the master passed away, he specifically asked me to take good care of this treasure. Sigh!"

Hearing Qi Song sigh, he knew that nothing good would happen. If this baby was here, there wouldn't be any trust.Wang Pang restrained his desire to see the ancient stone that he had hidden in front of his chest: "Could it be that something happened?"

"Hmm! One day five years ago, Master went up to the pagoda again, but... alas, the stone was gone."

Wang Pang guessed the result, but he still pretended to be surprised and said, "What's going on?"

"Master said to me: In the future, an official in Song State will come. He knows that this pagoda will be called Tianning Temple. He can find the stone. After speaking, he passed away. I have been paying attention to Song State's official position in the past few years. People, I always ask when I come here, do you know the name of this tower? Earlier, I heard that there was a Wang Shilang who was going to Liao as an envoy, so I paid attention to the monks in the temple. When I saw Wang Shilang, it happened to be It is God's will that you are saying the name of this pagoda. Amitabha!"

The old monk finally finished speaking, Wang Pang saw that he didn't look like he was going to pass away, if he passed away, he would be in big trouble, and if he knew the secrets of the temple, he would have to go home.Then simply, his name is Qisong, and I call him Fahao, which is very annoying.

But Wang Pang thought again, if Qisong's master happened to be carrying the Yuejin Stone when he passed away, then the Yuejin Stone must not be in the Song Dynasty, so how could he find it?Thinking about it again, if Qi Song's master had the Yuejin Stone, he wouldn't have realized that he would come here and be the one who found the Yuejin Stone.

How should I find it next, did I really find the Yuejin Stone and put it in this temple?Wang Pang suddenly felt that this was the most important thing he had done since he came to the Song Dynasty, and it was even bigger than the danger that he might encounter when going to Liao as an envoy.

He calmed down his emotions, and asked Qisong: "Master, before throwing away the treasure of the temple, has anyone ever gone up to the pagoda?"

Qi Song thought about it carefully: "In those few days, the emperors of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Zongzhen and Yelu Zongyuan, both offered incense and prayed for blessings in the temple, and Yelu Zongyuan's son was also there. At that time, the three of them went to the temple together with several guards. tower."

This is troublesome, there are so many suspects, and Yelvzong is really dead, so if it is in his hands, he won't be able to get it back.There are so many contingencies, no matter what, you have to look for it yourself. "Since that's the case, can you bother Master to take me to the tower to have a look?" Wang Pang made a request. Although he had been to this tower in his previous life, it was of great importance. He wanted to see if the stone that was the treasure of the tower was released where.

Qisong leads the king to the tower: the tower of Tianning Temple is 60 meters high, and the overall structure is from bottom to top: base, flat seat, raised lotus seat, tower body, thirteen-story tower eaves, tower top, orbs , Tasha.The tower base is a square platform.At the bottom is Xumizuo. On the gate of the girdle of Xumizuo, there are lion and animal heads carved, the pillars are embossed with intertwined lotus patterns, and the corners are carved with statues of King Kong warriors.A girdle is added on the Xumizuo, and sitting Buddha statues are carved inside the gate, and statues of Vajra warriors are carved on the pillars and corners.The upper part of the base is a flat seat, and the Goulan and Dougong are all imitated wood structures, and then three layers of upturned lotus seats are used to support the tower body.There are arched doors on the four fronts of the tower body, and brick statues of heavenly kings are carved on the side of the door.The remaining four sides are straight lattices, and the side bricks are carved with Bodhisattva statues, which are vivid.Under the eaves of each tower is a double brick-carved dougong imitating wood structure.On the top of the pagoda, two layers of octagonal lotus are used to hold a small Xumizuo bearing orbs.

Fortunately, Wang Pang did not dare to slack too much in his daily practice, and climbed up to the thirteenth floor in one breath.When Qi Song came up, he pointed to a wall on the east side. There was a Buddhist niche on the wall. He turned slightly, and part of the base of the Buddhist niche was removed, and there was a wooden box inside: "This is where the treasures of the town temple used to be stored. "Qi Song pointed to the wooden box and said.
