Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 522
In the Tang Dynasty, the pagoda was called a pagoda.

When the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built, according to the practice of the early Tang Dynasty, the singular number prevailed, so the tower was five stories high, with an inner earth core and outer bricks. This was considered a large project at that time, and it cost a lot. Great Buddha!
This Big Wild Goose Pagoda collapsed later and was rebuilt by Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian liked to break the rules in everything. Didn’t all pagodas in the early Tang Dynasty be based on odd numbers? She insisted on changing them to even numbers. , has become the landmark building of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and the world-famous Great Buddha!

The ten-storey pagoda was considered the pinnacle work in the early Tang Dynasty. It was built by the state, and if ordinary people were to be replaced, no rich man would dare to build such a tall pagoda!
But as soon as Tang Xuanzang opened his mouth, he didn't want the original five-story work, let alone a ten-story copy, he directly wanted the thirteen-story one!This is obviously taking Wang Ping'an as a bully, using the big wooden stick to ring the bell, and knocking Wang Ping'an off!

Wang Ping'an was almost knocked out, he called out, "On the thirteenth floor?"

Tang Xuanzang clasped his palms together, recited Amitabha, and added: "It is necessary to have all bricks, not the kind with a soil core, and both inside and outside must be green bricks, and the bricks should be ground to the seams, and pictures should be carved on the walls to promote our country. Buddha!"

Di Renjie was furious, did he want to ruin my elder brother's fortune? To build such a big wild goose pagoda, my elder brother would have to pawn his pants, which might not be enough!
Wang Ping'an was also furious. He laughed back in anger, and said sarcastically, "As long as the pagoda is built with blue bricks, I thought the whole pagoda would be covered with copper. Wouldn't it be stronger if it were covered with copper skin? A thirteen-story copper pagoda, look It looks golden, isn't it in line with your identity, brother!"

Of course Tang Xuanzang could hear him being sarcastic, but on the surface he was a bit "stubborn". He was a monk who only knew how to preach scriptures and practice, but in his heart he knew quite a lot about the world. To go without hindrance...even if there is any hindrance, it can't stop him?

Asking prices all over the sky, pay back the money when you land!

If the [-]th floor is too high, then the [-]th floor is acceptable. If the [-]th floor is not approved, the [-]th and [-]th floors are also acceptable. For Tang Xuanzang, his psychological base price is the [-]th floor, and the outside is just covered with bricks.The pagoda on the fifth floor is interesting enough, what else do you want to do!Tang Xuanzang is not an unreasonable person, so he can't wait to bargain with Wang Ping'an!

Tang Xuanzang didn't say anything, but Huizheng did. His brain is not quick enough, and he doesn't have any specific concepts about money, and he thinks that Wang Ping'an is omnipotent. When Wang Pingan said he wanted to wrap copper, he was overjoyed!
Huizheng shouted: "Master, you actually want to build a thirteen-storey pagoda that reaches the sky, and you have to cover it with copper. Isn't this the greatest act of kindness in the world! Amitabha, Master, the Buddha will surely bless you for a long life!" Years old, never enter reincarnation, enjoy bliss forever, carefree!"

He also shouted from the sidelines in trouble, "Let's not go down to the [-]th floor of hell!"

Wang Ping'an's face turned green, there's no need to be like this, what I said was irony, but you can take it seriously, what kind of understanding is this!

Li Yiren was also taken aback. Although she also had no concept of money, she also knew that Wang Ping'an couldn't afford to build such a wild goose pagoda anyway. It was so tall and the whole pagoda had to be covered with copper. It's called Tongtian Buddha!
Huizheng screamed loudly, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang behind also heard it, Wu Meiniang hurried over and asked, "Uncle, do you want to build the Tongtian Pagoda?"

Li Zhi also came over and asked, "What is Tongtian Pagoda? Isn't it just a wild goose pagoda? How did it become a Tongtian Pagoda?"

Wang Ping'an was in a hurry and said, "No..."

But Tang Xuanzang interrupted him, saying: "Junior brother, you have killed too many people outside the pass, and your crimes are serious. You should have been sent to the eighteenth level of hell, where you will suffer forever in that Avici hell, but if you can build this Tongtian pagoda, then All sins can be eliminated, and you can jump out of the three realms, not in the five elements, go to the Western Paradise, and listen to the teachings of the Buddha!"

Wang Ping'an almost jumped up, why am I so sinful, I have never killed anyone, I have never even ordered a war!If I want to go to Avici Hell, then there is no reason for it!

Facts have proved that the law of heaven is in the hands of the majority. If everyone says you have to go to hell, then you have to go, and if you don’t, you will be kicked!Xuanzang said: If you don't go to hell, why don't you let us go?

Good boy, honestly go to hell!
Li Zhi yelled, and said, "Wubing, what a great handwriting you have! I have to say, you are indeed a character, and among my courtiers in the Tang Dynasty, you rank first!"

Li Yiren also said: "No disease, you are really good, I thought you were joking just now!"

But Wu Meiniang said: "Uncle, do what you can!"

Huizheng and Younan chanted the Buddha's name in unison, and performed Buddhist respect to Wang Ping'an!

Di Renjie stretched out his hand, without saying anything, but the meaning was obvious, don't be weak, big brother, I'll help you!
Wang Pingan pushed Di Renjie's hand away, and shouted: "Can you let me finish my sentence! When did I say that I will build the Tongtian Pagoda, I never said that!"

Tang Xuanzang gasped, and said: "Junior Brother, what did you just say! You said, 'Why build a pagoda with blue bricks, it's better to cover the whole pagoda with copper, it's stronger, and the thirteen-storey copper pagoda looks like a golden light, so that's why you can't build a pagoda with blue bricks. It is in line with your identity, brother!' These are your original words, brother, did I make a mistake?"

Wang Ping'an opened his mouth and couldn't close it. What he said just now was angry, and he didn't remember what he said. Now that Tang Xuanzang "repeats", he can't remember whether he said that just now!
Tang Xuanzang smiled at him, you can’t remember the original words, in fact, I don’t remember them either, but I can’t express them directly, isn’t the “meaning” not enough!
Wang Pingan looked at Li Yiren and said, "Did I say that?"

Li Yiren could see that Wang Ping'an was going to renege on his debts. This was her future son-in-law, so there was no reason to embarrass him!She shook her head and said, "I didn't hear it, you didn't say it!"

Hui Xian and You Die said together: "I said it, princess, you heard it!"

Tang Xuanzang straightened his face, and he recited Amitabha first, and then solemnly said to Li Yiren: "Princess, if you lie and cheat, you will go to the hell of pulling out the tongue, but fortunately, the hell of pulling out the tongue is the first level. It’s just pulling out the tongue, don’t be too scared!”

Li Yiren believed in karma, and even believed in all kinds of legends after death. She was afraid.Shaking her head quickly, she said, "Okay, it's not that I didn't hear it, it's that I didn't hear it clearly!"

She lowered her head, she is fine, I can't help you anymore, who made you talk nonsense, anyway, you have money, and you can fool others into paying for it, so let's treat it as a bankruptcy and avoid disaster.This is really a way to save money and avoid disasters, and it can save you from going to hell, and it can also save me from going to hell!

Wang Pingan cocked his neck, but refused to admit it, he said: "You all heard wrong, I never said such a thing!"

Tang Xuanzang sighed, and said: "Junior brother, although you are a lay disciple, you received precepts at the White Horse Temple, and you are also a Buddhist disciple. If you deny what you have said, and you are full of nonsense, this is a violation of the precept of lying. Those who receive precepts violate the precepts, That’s going to go to Volcanic Hell. Volcanic Hell is the No.16 floor, very close to Avici Hell!”

Everyone looked at Wang Ping'an together, feeling pity for him.Look at what happened. You said a word. It doesn’t matter if you remember it or not, but if someone else remembers it, you will go to the sixteenth floor of hell. Why bother!
Wang Ping'an's face was red and green, green and black. He pointed at Tang Xuanzang and said, "I can't say no to you!"

Tang Xuanzang nodded, thinking to himself: "It's good that you have self-knowledge." So far, he has not met anyone who can speak against him!
Wu Meiniang knew that it was not her turn to speak at this time, but she had to support her uncle. Everyone watched the fun, but she couldn't do it.She said: "Uncle, the money and money spent to build such a pagoda is a trivial matter. You are generous and generous, and you uphold the Dharma, so you will not be stingy..."

Everyone looked at her together, and added to her in their hearts: But...

"However, it will take a long time. Why don't you build this Tongtian Pagoda while begging for alms? I think it will take 50 years at most. If Master Xuanzang can't wait 50 years, why not Let’s build an ordinary wild goose pagoda first, build the pagoda first, and then slowly cover it with copper, or rebuild it and raise it, what do you think?” Wu Meiniang finished speaking in a slow voice.

Hey, well said!The Tongtian Stupa needs to be built, but it will take 50 years. Master Xuanzang, if you have patience, then wait slowly!
After hearing her finished speaking, everyone almost applauded together!
Tang Xuanzang snorted. From the first time he saw this little girl, he didn't take her seriously. After all, he was just a little maid in a man's clothes. There was no reason to take her seriously!But what surprised him was that among these people, the most powerful person was this little girl.

Wang Ping'an will only deny it, but he can't quibble with Tang Xuanzang. Although Di Renjie is smart, he has been watching Wang Ping's reaction at this time, and he is following Wang Pingan's lead, while the little princess is afraid of being frightened. The prince is the most resolute and behaves consistently , If you say you have no idea, you have no idea, no matter what others say, I just have no idea, what the hell!

But this little girl didn't even blink her eyelids, she just said a few words, and rescued Wang Ping'an from hell, and even joined Tang Xuanzang's army, just like playing polo. The polo hit Tang Xuanzang on the forehead!
Tang Xuanzang looked at Wu Meiniang up and down, thinking: "It's not easy, I didn't pay attention to her just now, I was wrong! Shall I tell her a few allusions first, let her convert to my Buddha and become my disciple?"

The happiest of all was Li Zhi. Wu Meiniang rescued Wang Ping'an with a single mouth, and the rescue was wonderful, which is admirable!He clapped his hands and laughed loudly, and said: "That's right, within 50 years, let Wu Bing build this Tongtian Pagoda!" He looked at Wu Meiniang, and he liked her even more in his heart.

Di Renjie also laughed, and said: "It's only 50 years, which is very short. Master Xuanzang can afford to wait!"

As he was talking, he couldn't help looking at Wu Meiniang, and thought in his heart: "It's not easy, this sister Wu didn't recognize her for nothing, she is really a remarkable woman, with a lively mind and sharp words. No wonder the eldest brother likes her, she really She has some advantages. Fortunately, she is a woman, if she is a man, she can still take the scientific examination...Then we people really have nothing to do with it!"

Li Yiren clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, it will take 50 years to build the pagoda!" She first took Wu Meiniang's hand to show her affection, and then said to Tang Xuanzang: "Master Xuanzang, if Wubing agrees to you, it will not be counted as a pagoda." If you break the precept, you don’t need to go to hell!”

Tang Xuanzang blinked his eyes. Although he could speak well, he couldn't decipher Wu Meiniang's words in a hurry.But how experienced he is, and even if he only builds a thirteen-story brick tower, it will far exceed his expectations.

Very magnanimously, Tang Xuanzang nodded his head and said: "Then, within 50 years, the younger brother will build a copper pagoda! However, before building the copper pagoda, you might as well build the inner embryo of the Tongtian Buddha, that is, ten pagodas." What do you think of the three-story wild goose pagoda?"

Wang Pingan glanced at Wu Meiniang and thought: "Building the Tongtian Pagoda in 50 years? Uncle, I will leave this glorious and difficult task to you!"

Before Wang Ping'an could answer, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Sure, let's build a thirteen-story wild goose pagoda first. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is covered with copper or not. The height of the thirteen-story wild goose pagoda alone It can already be called Tongtian Futu, and on the day the pagoda is completed, a lonely person will write the name of Tongtian Futu!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "You are generous, you are not going to fool those rich men to catch love!" He squeezed out a smile, clasped his palms together, and said to Tang Xuanzang: "Senior brother, this time I don't need to go to the Abi hell?"

Tang Xuanzang sighed, and said: "Hell is not empty, I vow not to become a Buddha, all sentient beings are exhausted, Fangzheng Bodhi. Brother, you refuse to go to hell, push back and forth, and your heart is not sincere, why don't you shave early and enter the Buddhist door, brother, I can help you." I will help you!"

Wang Ping'an's face turned bitter, and he said lightly, if you say so, then you will also go to hell, why don't we two brothers be companions and go to hell together, so we won't be lonely.

Everyone laughed and stopped talking about hell.Li Yiren took Wang Ping'an's idea as her own, and led everyone out of the Inspiration Temple, pointing to the surrounding land, and talked about buying land and building a street.

Li Zhi was very surprised when he heard this idea, and said that it was impossible for the younger sister to come up with this kind of good business, except for Wang Pingan, no one in Tang Dynasty could have thought of it!
Their brothers and sisters are not very scheming, but Di Renjie is quite scheming.He walked in the crowd, but he went to see Wu Meiniang from time to time. Seeing that Wu Meiniang had regained a well-behaved expression, she walked at the end with her head bowed, acting as a follower.

Just now Di Renjie only thought of her as a cute girl who was liked by his eldest brother, but now he doesn't think so.At the beginning, he thought that Wu Meiniang knew how to advance and retreat, and understood the rules, but now he has a feeling that Wu Meiniang is hiding something, if this person is a man, I am afraid that everyone present will not be able to compare with her alone!
Di Renjie thought to himself: "Brother has really good eyesight. Marrying a princess as his wife is the emperor's arrangement, and it is a good marriage. But if he marries this woman as a concubine again, it will be his own ability. Marry such a good woman back home. , A very good wife! I don’t know if she has any sisters, but if you introduce them to me, I will also have a wife, wouldn’t it be great!”
