That afternoon, while Yunfeng was still chatting with a group of guards, the land deed document of Waguan Temple was sent to the mansion. The construction of Waguan Temple was only started after Sima Rui became emperor, with the clan as the main force.

, various major clans in Jiangdong also donated various amounts, and with the collective efforts, it only took less than two years, which can be called a miracle in the history of architecture at that time.

After it was built, it was rewarded to Zhu Daoqian in the name of the emperor. However, from this moment on, Waguan Temple became Yunfeng's private property. According to the land deed document, Waguan Temple not only owned thousands of hectares of fertile land, but also the white fields to the east of the city.

Half of the thirty miles of Dang Lake are occupied by the vast surface of the lake, and the other half belongs to the Lu family.

In the early morning of the next day, the continuous drizzle had stopped at night, but the sky was still cloudy, cold and wet, and it seemed that a first snow was brewing. In such weather, Yunfeng and Xun Guanniang's master and apprentice

The three of them, Master and Servant Zhuge Fei, Song Ye and some of his personal guards headed by Su Qizhen, headed towards Waguan Temple. This was Yunfeng's first property in Jiankang.

Waguan Temple is not far away. It is located in the Xiaochanggan area, about five miles west of Changganli where Yunfeng temporarily lives. The group of people rode horses and cars. Soon, the magnificent Waguan Temple appeared in front of it.

in front of everyone.

Xun Guanniang's master and apprentice were fine, and they didn't look too surprised. But the others were different. They all had straight eyes. They had never seen such a luxurious and magnificent building in their lives!

I saw seven polygonal seven-story pagodas standing side by side in front of the mountain gate, supported on a Xumizuo made of huge upward lotus petals. The first floor is the highest. It suddenly becomes lower as it goes up, and the height and width also gradually shrink, and shrink as it goes up.

The more urgent it is, the eaves of each floor are closely connected. The whole body is a brick and wood structure, decorated with Buddhist ornaments such as pot doors, lions, fire bead hanging lotus, etc. The top of the tower is a giant orb!

Behind the pagoda, pines and cypresses are planted all over, surrounded by a giant release pond. There are several rockeries of different shapes standing high in the pond, and countless red carp swim in and out of them. The big ones are more than a foot long, and the small ones are only as long as a finger.

.

Bypassing the release pond, there is the tall and majestic gate of Waguan Temple. The gate is five feet high, with a treasure top made of blue glazed tiles. It reads: Imperial Grant to Waguan Temple! Along both sides of the gate are red and pink brick walls that are ten feet high.

There are seven or forty-nine gold and copper nails on each of the two vermilion doors. From a distance, you can see the towers and pavilions stacked one after another, and the palaces and palaces are faintly visible.

Yunfeng feels that the luxury of Waguan Temple alone at the gate has surpassed any Taoist and Buddhist temple seen in later generations. Even the Shaolin Temple, the richest in the world, is far inferior. Moreover, compared with the Jiankang Imperial City, the quality of its architecture is

Beauty even goes beyond.

While admiring, the group of people arrived in front of the mountain gate. At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a steward came forward and saluted respectfully: "I have seen the general."

Yunfeng asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Return to the general. I am the steward of Waguan Temple. Taoist Zhu ordered me to wait here for the general. All the Taoists in the temple have been dismissed. Each of them has been given 30,000 yuan, three stones of rice, and the rest of the property has been sealed. Since then,

Starting yesterday, Waguan Temple no longer accepts worshippers." Then, he presented a book with both hands.

Yunfeng took it and handed it to his bodyguard, and then asked, "Where is Taoist Zhu now?"

The steward continued to answer: "Taoist Zhu took care of the affairs of the temple at noon yesterday, and then he drifted away. Before leaving, there was a song: One person practices and many people come, many people practice and one comes, low places practice and high places come. Slow down.

The slow practice is coming soon!"

Yunfeng recited silently, his face gradually showed a look of appreciation and admiration, and sighed: "Taoist Zhu has indeed achieved enlightenment, and he will definitely become the ancestor of Buddhism in China when he reappears in the world!"

Geng Wenjun pursed his lips: "What are you talking about? I don't even understand!"

Yunfeng explained patiently: "The meaning of these four verses is that practice must be done with a mind that has nothing to dwell on and nothing to gain. Taoist Zhu has obviously understood the wonderful method of practice."

Geng Wenjun muttered: "What is the intention of having nothing to live in? The intention of having nothing to gain? It's better not to say it. The more you listen, the more confused you become."

Yunfeng glanced at the crowd and found that except for Xun Guanniang, whose beautiful eyebrows were furrowed and she seemed to have gained something, everyone else looked confused, so he ignored them and turned to the steward and asked, "I have noticed that you speak well."

, are you willing to stay and manage Waguan Temple as my general?"

The steward was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, General. Please come in with me, General."

Yunfeng nodded and led everyone into the mountain gate. Suddenly, the scenery changed. Hundreds of courtyards covered with blue glazed tiles could be seen at a glance. Green bamboos, pines and cypresses were planted all over the courtyard. At the end of the square,

For the majestic and majestic Mahavira Palace!

Directly in front of the Main Hall, there stands a smaller pagoda. This pagoda is different from the one outside the courtyard. It is shaped like a Vajra throne tower. That is, the lower part of the pagoda is a Vajra throne, with a door in the throne and five small pagodas built on the throne.

, enshrining the relics of Buddha, the five masters of the Vajra Realm.

The body of the pagoda is carved with patterns such as lions, elephants, Dharma wheels, and golden-winged birds. There are 119 small gilded Buddhas in the upper part. The middle pagoda is about three feet high and seven stories high, and the four corner pagodas are slightly lower, each with five stories.

The craftsmanship is extremely delicate and skillful, and it is obviously a rare art treasure.

Everyone stayed in front of the pagoda for a while, and after expressing some admiration and emotion, they stepped onto the white jade steps and entered the Mahavira Hall. Under the hanging arch of the bright yellow curtain, there was a three-foot-tall Sakyamuni statue.

Nifo sat in lotus position high in the center of the palace

The whole body is made of pure copper, holding a meditation seal, looking down with a compassionate face, as if looking at all the people in the world. The whole hall is exaggerated with a solemn and solemn atmosphere, which makes people involuntarily worship.

Meaning.

At this time, Yunfeng asked the steward in a serious manner: "I am afraid that the copper used for this Buddha statue is more than ten thousand kilograms? How many pure copper Buddha statues are there in the temple?"

The steward replied: "Return to the general, this Sakyamuni Buddha is made of 30,000 kilograms of copper. There are 12 pure copper Buddha statues in the temple, and the remaining 11 are distributed in the abbot, Zen, Dharma and other places, all of which are Zhang Xu.

high."

Yunfeng's eyes lit up and he murmured: "Looking at it this way, it must be nearly 100,000 kilograms of copper."

Geng Wenjun's face showed vigilance for a moment, and he asked: "General, what are you going to do? Are you planning to melt the Buddha statue and cast it into copper coins?"

Xun Guanniang's face also darkened, and she said displeasedly: "Duanshan, is Wenjun wrong? I know you never worship Buddha, but you can't be so short-sighted. The Buddha statues were all made by our kind believers who donated money, and they are solidified."

In response to their prayers and sincerity,

Although it has become your personal property, if you insist on going your own way without caring about the feelings of others, you will lose people's hearts. Besides, if the Buddha statue is all melted, how much can it be cast? If you are short of money, you can ask your teacher. In short, you are not allowed to melt the Buddha statue.

Lose!"

This was the first time Yunfeng saw Xun Guanniang angry, and he screamed in his heart. He took a peek at the women who followed him in, only to find that they all had an expression of rejoicing in others' misfortune, with the words "

Two words were added: You deserve it! Especially Geng Wenjun, who shook his head proudly.

Yun Feng secretly cursed, but put on a smile and explained: "Teacher, you have misunderstood me. How could I have such an idea? Just now, I was just surprised. Teacher, please rest assured, I will never melt any Buddha statue."
