Chapter 2666: God blessed!

"...Your Majesty, this Longshan 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 towards 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 to this place 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 slumped. On the shore collapsed, a statue of Amitabha

appeared, and the Three Jin Dynasty came to pay 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! "

Taiyuan City, in the southwest corner, 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 Mountain, standing on the top of

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

under the sunrise of the sun was dazzling. The guard of the Cishi Mansion 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 more than others

here. This Tongzi Temple has been visited quite a few times before the younger

ones. Your Highness, come here. The pavilion of Tongzi Temple in front of you

is enshrined in the three holy saints of the West!"

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

Li Tai.

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

the hillside, and its scale was very magnificent.

Duguxin winked at the left and right. The two teams of forbidden troops

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 by and waited

quietly for something. .

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

Duguxin with a fist, "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 Buddhist pavilion in

front of Li Tai's left.

Li Tai and others walked in and discovered that the Buddhist pavilion 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 square bricks are used in Ming Dynasty.

The main body of the temple is more than ten feet wide and five feet deep,

which is more spacious than the front porch. The wall is vertical masonry with

strip stones, and the northern part of the wall is directly masonry on the

natural rock mass. In the middle of the wall, the door is opened in the

morning. 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 meters high. The head of the Buddha

is more than two meters 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 due to 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

had some good feelings about 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 how much 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 that this Buddhist temple can be used

by us, it can be regarded as making the best use of it!"

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

Celestial Master and Taoism, Li Tai didn't "catch a cold" to Buddhism. Hearing

Qin Huaiyu and others sighed 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, which 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 Buddhist

pavilion? What does the upper layer do?"

The guard hurriedly replied, "Going back to your Highness, I've been to the

small ones on the upper floor, just a few Buddhist rooms, nothing special, you

should be able to live in after tidying 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 go back 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 hurriedly bowed to thank him.

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

"Go, let's go up and have a look!"

After the guards of the provincial governor's mansion left, Li Tai said to

everyone.

Having said that, he raised his foot and wanted to do it, while the forbidden

troops around him rushed towards the top of the stairs first. Li Tai didn't

think he was disgusted, and led everyone to continue walking towards the

second floor.

Since the first floor of the Buddhist pavilion stands a towering Buddha

statue, the height of the first floor is more than ten feet high. It took a

lot of effort for everyone to climb the stairs. They came to the second floor

of the Buddhist pavilion, and they saw it. There are more than ten rooms,

which should be the Zen rooms that the guards of the governor's palace

mentioned earlier. Li Tai walked towards one of them at will without pushing

the door, because the forbidden army who went upstairs had already helped him

open the doors of all the rooms and inspected them. The environment inside.

After entering the Zen room, I saw that there were no special ornaments in the

room except candlesticks, incense tables, wooden fish, and futons. Of course,

these ornaments were covered with a thick layer of dust, and some of them were

still covered with dense cobwebs. Obviously no one has taken care of it for a

long time!

Fortunately, Li Tai and others came during the day, and fortunately they had

never seen "A Chinese Ghost Story", otherwise they would have thought of the

gloomy, desolate and ruined Lanruo Ancient Temple when they saw the scene in

front of them!

"General Dugu, as you can see, can Longshan and Tongzi Temple hide soldiers?

How many soldiers can they hide?"

The dilapidated scene in front of him did not disappoint Li Tai. He looked at

Duguxin beside him and asked.

Facing Li Tai’s inexplicable question, Du Guxin thought for a moment and

understood the key. He pondered for a moment and replied: "If your Royal

Highness intends to choose a site here, first, you can set up a defender at

the foot of Longshan. When going up the mountain, the general has already been

checked around. This Longshan has only one mountain path up to the top of the

main peak. As long as the defenders guard the mountain path, it can ensure

that there will be no idlers waiting to go up the mountain. Can hold two

thousand defenders;

Second, the main peak of Longshan is at the extreme top. The ground is flat

and surrounded by mountains in the south, north, and west. Checkpoints can be

set at the east gate to prevent fish from slipping through the net. According

to the final observation, there are probably two places on the top of the

mountain. Hundred defenders

Third, this Buddhist pavilion is built on the mountain. There are many

grottoes excavated on the mountain wall. Both the grottoes and the second

floor of the Buddhist pavilion can contain soldiers. According to the final

estimate, it should be able to accommodate fifty elites! "

Duguxin is worthy of being the commander of the Forbidden Army, and his

subjective consciousness has always maintained a high military

Buddhist pavilion, he has already touched the topography and topography of the

mountain and the bottom of the mountain. Clearly, he even knew where to hide

soldiers and where to set up guards!

Li Tai heard this and couldn't help but admire Duguxin: "General Dugu is

really a military strategy, Tai admire!"

"His Royal Highness is absurd!"

Duguxin replied indifferently, said.

Li Tai smiled and put the topic aside, he turned to Tiedan, Meng Wenhao, Qin

Huaiyu and others: "Longshan has a towering terrain, and the surrounding area

is unobstructed. This pavilion is also majestic and tall. You can clean up our

things with a little cleaning. All moved in, and just now General Dugu said,

you have also heard that Longshan terrain is easy to defend and difficult to

attack. It is very convenient to arrange defenders. In this way, safety can

also be guaranteed! So I plan to choose here, I don’t know. Do you have any

objections?"

In fact, this Tongzi Temple is indeed an excellent location for a telegraph

relay station. First, Longshan has a towering terrain (more than 1,200 meters

above sea level), and secondly, the Tongzi Temple on Longshan is towering and

tall, and the buildings are relatively well-preserved and convenient. Yanhuang

Academy and others directly brought in the necessary machinery and equipment

and set up a telegraph relay station!

After hearing this, everyone nodded and said: "I agree! It is indeed suitable

here!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Upon seeing this, Li Tai said with satisfaction: "That's good! Let's act

immediately according to the task assigned in the morning, survey, evaluate,

and move things, Tiedan, Wenhao, Huaiyu, you are busy here first, I will

follow General Dugu Go back to the city and inform Mr. Mo Chui and the other

teachers and students by the way!"

"Great!"
