Chapter 155 Leshan Giant Buddha
Su Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Buddha of this era has already been enshrined there, otherwise, I really don't know how to explain it.

Zhao Qingyi didn't notice Su Xiaowu's small movements. He looked down at the treasure map combined into one, stretched out his hand to caress the broken sheepskin, and said softly: "The treasure is in the Leshan Giant Buddha. Susu, you know Leshan Giant Buddha? This giant Buddha was built during the time of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It was because of a word from Monk Haitong."

"A word?" Su Xiaowu asked puzzled.She really doesn't know much about this, she just knows that there should be a big Buddha statue in this place, and there are some general information, but she hasn't paid attention to others.If I had known that she would not stay at home in modern times, it would be good to walk around, and learn more about history.

"Flowing water goes east, Buddhism comes west." Zhao Qingyi muttered to himself, "Since ancient times, Leshan has been the confluence of three rivers. The water is quite fierce, and boats are often capsized here. Whenever the summer flood season, often The tragedy of shipwreck and death. During the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, monk Haitong lived in a hut in Lingyun Mountain. When he saw the confluence of the three rivers, the river rushed straight to the cliff, causing the ship to sink. He thought that there was an evil dragon in the river making waves. He carved out the statue of Maitreya Buddha on the cliff, hoping to rely on the boundless magic power to change the stormy waves into peace, reduce the water potential, and keep the wind and waves forever. So he made a great wish to cut down the walls and build a Buddha statue."

Zhao Qingyi's clear voice echoed in the room, and Su Xiaowu had to admit that his voice was really nice.But the content was a bit funny to her. This monk Haitong had a good intention, but unfortunately he was too feudal and superstitious. Building a big Buddha can calm the wind and waves?It's better to build water conservancy well.

Seeing the disapproving expression on Su Xiaowu's face, Zhao Qingyi shook his head and said with a light smile, "I don't believe that just building a Buddha statue can calm the storm. However, after the Buddha statue is finally built, the storm is indeed calmed down." Quite a few, and most of the boats passed through without incident. The common people all said that it was the manifestation of the Buddha."

Su Xiaowu thought for a while, then smiled slightly and said: "The Buddha appears? Everyone has a Buddha in their hearts, and that is themselves. It is better to seek the Buddha than to seek oneself. It should have more psychological effects." After all, looking at such a big A Buddha statue is sitting by the river, you have a bottom line, don't you?
"Moreover," Su Xiaowu stretched out her hand, clicked on the location of the Leshan Giant Buddha on the sheepskin map, and continued: "Looking at this location, the Buddha statue should be built near the river. The remnants of the Buddha statue must be dumped in the nearby river to fill Leveling the river course and calming the water in front of the stone wall. I think this is the real reason.”

Zhao Qing's heart was shocked by the anecdote, and he didn't believe in any gods and Buddhas, but the statement that the Buddha suppressed the water was really shocking.After returning to the capital after looking for the treasure last time, I asked the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to find out about it.Part of it is to create an image that he has no intention of political affairs, and the other part is to dispel doubts in his heart.What Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry said was indeed what Su Xiaowu said just now, but it was far less confident and certain than what she said.

"As for why such a big Buddha was built," Su Xiaowu said with a deep smile on her lips, "Tang Xuanzong was a well-known emperor who advocated Taoism. The number of monks and nuns is forbidden to copy Buddhist scriptures." She was fascinated by the history of this emperor, and the Tang Dynasty was the dynasty she yearned for, strong Tang and weak Song.It's just that she didn't expect that she came to the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Qingyi was taken aback, and murmured: "The time when this giant Buddha was excavated was the first year of Kaiyuan."

The two contradict each other.

Su Xiaowu raised her eyebrows in interest, and tapped the table with the back of her hand, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and asked, "Then where did the construction cost of this giant Buddha come from? How long did it take to repair it?"

Zhao Qingyi moved his body uncomfortably, and lowered his voice slightly: "The cost of excavating the Leshan Giant Buddha was raised by Monk Haitong from the people. It has been cultivated intermittently for 90 years. After the death of Monk Haitong, there are still future generations People insist on building it."

"90 years? Such a long time? What's more, the people donated money for such a huge project?" Su Xiaowu curled her lips and said mysteriously, "Besides, without the emperor's approval, how could he build such a huge Buddha? First of all, it is necessary to approve this land of geomantic omen to be recruited by monk Haitong and many craftsmen. Can these people’s basic necessities of life be solved by faith alone? Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty prohibited the rebuilding of Buddha statues and the construction of temples, then he Why do you still approve the allocation of land, or even the allocation of funds for construction?"

Zhao Qingyi stared at Su Xiaowu's brighter and brighter eyes, knowing that she was starting to doubt, sat up straight and coughed dryly: "Maybe, it's because of some reason we don't know."

Su Xiaowu looked at Zhao Qingyi with deep meaning, nodded and agreed with a long voice: "Yes... there is some reason we don't know. For example, to hide something, maybe you want it Is that something you own? Hmm, it really makes me curious if you have spent so much effort just to hide one thing!"

Zhao Qingyi did not expect that Su Xiaowu would deduce the general truth of the facts and the importance of the treasure so quickly, so she couldn't help but feel a sinking heart.But now he is playing the role of an ignorant dude, so he can only smile awkwardly.

Su Xiaowu leaned forward slightly, and said with a sweet smile: "Don't worry, didn't you say that just now? Since Xiaowu agrees to go treasure hunting with you, naturally you can get what you want. As for what it is, Xiaowu can just I asked." She can assure you that after spending so much effort to build the world's largest Buddha statue, it must not be that simple inside.At least, there must be an underground palace or something, right?Baby is definitely indispensable.Hehe, she doesn't have much ambition, so she needs to cooperate with her heart and soul!
However, Murong Xuanse's treasure was actually connected with the Leshan Giant Buddha built by Tang Xuanzong, which really made her eager to try.I can't wait to fly to the scene to see it right away.She remembered reading a report in modern times, saying that the dirty hole in the chest of the Leshan Giant Buddha was discovered when the Buddha was being repaired in the 60s. It is said that the dirty hole is for storing treasures, but the treasures inside are not known. In which era, after being looted, the cave door was sealed again.

Combined with what the little prince Chu said, the finger wrench in her hand is the key to the dirty hole.Su Xiaowu couldn't help holding the finger on her left hand tightly in the palm of her hand. Fortunately, she couldn't take off the finger for some reason, otherwise she would really have no excuses and confidence to go treasure hunting with this little prince.

Zhao Qingyi made a relieved expression on his face, and said with peace of mind: "Then, let's set off now."

Su Xiaowu nodded and said: "That's right, if you want to leave, you should leave immediately. However, of course, you and I cannot be said to the outside world to go treasure hunting, so how can we explain that we are walking together?"

The corners of Zhao Qingyi's lips raised, and he said slowly without much thought: "Simple, the Leshan Giant Buddha is next to Mount Emei, you go back to your Mount Emei, this king wants to book the 'Bitan Piaoxue' on Mount Emei, and go to see it on the way Let's see if the specific production process meets the requirements." He raised the teacup in his hand as he spoke, and smiled wickedly.

Su Xiaowu thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.They can take care of each other when they go on the road together. You must know that she has never walked the rivers and lakes alone after she came to ancient times.

The rivers and lakes are dangerous.Su Xiaowu squinted her eyes and looked at Zhao Qingyi, who seemed to be very manly opposite, and asked aloud: "You are a prince, can you stay out of Beijing for such a long time?" My lord, maybe the first one.

Zhao Qingyi fanned the folding fan leisurely, and said with a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter, I'm used to going around like crazy, if they know that I stay in the capital all day, they will think there is something wrong."

Su Xiaowu raised her eyebrows indiscriminately, there was something wrong with what he said.I don't know if I blurted it out without paying attention, or if I said it to her on purpose.

"Well, then, in the future, I hope we can get along happily." A perfect social smile appeared on Su Xiaowu's face, and she almost reached out to shake his hand.

Zhao Qingyi nodded in agreement, and shook the folding fan more vigorously, "Where is it, I don't know any martial arts at all, and I have to rely on Susu to protect me!"

"..." Su Xiaowu looked at Zhao Qingyi's face with a sincere smile on the opposite side with embarrassing eyes, and wanted to beat him up.

Who protects who!
