Chapter 2063: Vol 2 Chapter 1883:

"...Your Majesty, this Dragon Mountain is towering, surrounded by mountains on

three sides, like a dustpan. The mountains are densely wooded and the

environment is quiet. Standing on the top of the main peak, following the

sulfur ditch, looking to the east, the entire Taiyuan city It can be seen in

the eyes, and the end is a place of beauty and good fortune.

It is said that Zen Master Hongli traveled here and saw five-color bright

clouds shining from above the ground. In the bright clouds, there were four

boys sitting on the green lotus seat playing games, shaking the earth, and the

rock coughed and fell. On the shore collapsed, a statue of Amitabha appeared,

and the Three Jin Dynasty paid tribute. After Zen Master Hongli recorded this

vision, he reported it to the court and applied to build a temple here, and

now there is a Tongzi Temple! "

In the southwest corner of Taiyuan City, Li Tai, Qin Huaiyu, Meng Wenhao,

Tiedan and other students from Yanhuang Academy, escorted by the 300 Forbidden

Army led by Duguxin, came to the top of Longshan, standing on the top of the

mountain, looking towards the east. The panoramic view of Taiyuan City in the

morning sun was dazzling, and the guard of the Provincial Government sent by

Wang Liaoyuan, at this time, was by Li Tai's side and gave his best

explanation.

"Heh! You know a lot!"

Looking around, Li Tai was extremely satisfied with the environment here. He

couldn't help but praise the guard. When the guard heard it, he immediately

opened his eyes and smiled: "His Majesty, the youngest is a native of Taiyuan

Mansion. He was born here and grew up here. Naturally, I know a little bit

more here than others. This Tongzi Temple has been visited quite a bit before

it was a small one. Your Highness, you will see the pavilion of Tongzi Temple

in front of you, which enshrines the Three Saints of the West!"

Speaking of this, the guard pointed to the north and made a please gesture to

Li Tai.

It is a huge Buddhist pavilion with two layers on top and bottom, built

against the mountain, and its scale is very magnificent.

Duguxin winked at the left and right. The two bans immediately filed out and

rushed towards the Buddhist pavilion to the north. Li Tai didn’t say anything

when he saw it. Instead, he stood beside him, quietly waiting for something. .

After a while, a forbidden army quickly ran out from the inside and whispered

to Duguxin with a fist, "Teach me General, everything is normal in the temple,

and no danger has been found!"

Duguxin nodded, and then winked at Li Tai. Li Tai knew, and said to the guard

of the provincial governor's house: "Since you are quite familiar with this

place, then come forward and lead the way!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

The guard clasped his fists and slowly walked towards the temple at Li Tai's

left front.

Li Tai and others walked in and found that the temple was composed of the

front porch and the main part of the pavilion. The front porch is five rooms

wide and one room deep. The width of the front porch is about ten feet, and

the depth is about two feet. There are nine eaves columns, all of which are

large-scale covered lotus styles, arranged in a north-south direction. The

diameter of the covered lotus part of the column base is nearly three feet. ,

Taiming is made of stone, and the ground is covered with slate, but the Ming

Dynasty uses square bricks.

The main body of the Buddhist pavilion is more than ten feet wide and five

feet deep, which is more spacious than the front porch. The wall is vertically

built with strip stones, and the northern part of the wall is directly built

on the natural rock mass. In the middle of the wall, the door will be opened

during the day. There is no sculpture on the outside of the wall, and the

inside is full of thousands of Buddhas. The images of the thousands of Buddhas

are different and spectacular!

In the pavilion, the three western saints-Amitabha, Avalokiteshvara, and Da

Shizhi Bodhisattva are carved into the pavilion. The three Buddha statues are

towering and tall. They are more than ten feet high. The head of the Buddha is

more than two feet high. Can't help being awe-inspiring!

"This pavilion is magnificent. Only with these three Buddha statues and the

thousands of Buddha carvings on the stone wall, it can be called a Buddhist

holy land. It was abandoned and ruined because of the war in the Central

Plains. It is a pity!"

After patrolling the temple, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Huaiyu's mother believed in Buddhism, and the backyard of the Qin family

also built a Buddhist temple. Under the influence of ears and eyes, Qin Huaiyu

also had some good feelings for Buddhism, so he sighed!

Hearing that, the rest of them couldn't help but nodded.

In all fairness, although the Tongzi Temple is a bit dilapidated on the

surface, the majestic architecture, Buddha statues, and exquisite carvings in

the temple all show its former glory and the amount of thought and art that

the temple builders spent at that time. Value, in fact, what can the dust in

this Buddhist temple conceal?

"Whether it is ruined or splendid, now this Buddhist temple can be used for

our purposes~www.mtlnovel.com~ can be regarded as the best use!"

Due to the relatively long time spent with Li Zexuan, a disciple of the

Celestial Master and Taoism, Li Tai didn't have a "cold" with Buddhism. After

hearing Qin Huaiyu and others sigh with emotion, he was a little disapproving.

"Qing Que, are you planning to...choose here?"

Hearing what Li Tai said, Meng Wenhao's heart moved and asked aloud.

When Li Tai assigned the task in the morning, he thought it would take a lot

of time to select the location of the telegraph relay station, but he never

expected that just a trip to Longshan, Li Tai would have the intention of

finalizing the location. This is too much. Is it going well?

However, although surprised, Meng Wenhao did not relax his vigilance, and did

not tell any news about the telegraph relay station, because there was an

outsider here—the guard of the provincial governor's house!

It is a matter of the success or failure of the academy’s mission and the

safety of the teachers and students of the academy. Any one of them must be

more cautious!

"Almost, but before deciding, I have to make certain things!"

Li Tai nodded and responded to Meng Wenhao's. Then he said to the guard of the

Provincial Governor's Mansion, "Is there another layer on top of this temple?

What is the upper layer?"

The guard hurriedly replied, "Going back to your Highness, I have also been to

the small ones on the upper floor. There are just a few Buddhist rooms. There

is nothing special. I should be able to live in if I clean up!"

Li Tai nodded and said: "Okay! This king knows! There is nothing to do with

you here, you have done a good job, first go down the mountain and return to

the city to get the reward from Wang Cishi!"

From beginning to end, he did not ask what the guard of the Provincial

Government was called, because for him, he didn't need to know!

"Yes! Thank you, Your Highness!"

The guard was overjoyed and quickly bowed to thank him.

After speaking, he saluted Li Tai and turned down the mountain.
