Chapter 456 Salt-fried mutton? Big Buddha Temple

At the beginning of You hour the next day, the group entered Taiyuan City.

It was in Taiyuan City that Li Luotang changed his way north when he heard the news about Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

When returning to Taiyuan, Li Luotang didn't feel much about it, "Can you rest here for two days?"

It's too boring to rush on the road.

Shangguan Shanshan also looked at Shen Junyu with anticipation. Although Shen Junyu wanted to rush to Xi'an in one go, they had been wasting too much time, but they couldn't bear to refuse.

"Then let's take a break for two days?" Shen Junyu looked at Gu Tingxin.

Without any surprise, Gu Tingqiu agreed, "Just take a break for two days."

After finding an inn to settle down, the four of them went to the restaurant for supper.

"The ground is fat, water is beautiful and the grains are fragrant. The left hand pointed to Taihang Mountain and the right hand is Luliang..." Li Luotang hummed a low voice, and smiled embarrassedly under the eyes of the three of them, "I forgot the lyrics behind it."

"This little song is quite nice." Shangguan Shanshan smiled.

"It's easy for you to listen to music. Ask someone to sing to you. There should be many people in this world who come out to sing." Li Luotang said.

Along the way, we saw seven or eight teams selling arts in big cities and towns.

"The court has sent governors to various places to calm the hearts of the people and will gradually improve." Li Luotang frowned. The people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. How could Gong Jiuxian rebel?

Gu Tingxian seemed to see Li Luotang's doubts and said two words silently, "Abdicate."

Li Luotang asked, as if he was asking him if he was the advice he gave?

"Uncle." Gu Tingqing said two more words in his mouth.

To inspire public anger and allow rebel forces to emerge in various places, although it can overthrow the rule of the Wu Dynasty, but if Gong Jiuxian wants to conquer them and establish a dynasty, he must fight south and north.

As a military general, Yongning Hou, who had made unsuccessful military achievements, did not want to fight again. He gave Gong Jiuxian this suggestion, and Gong Jiuxian adopted it.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they asked for a private room to listen to the song.

After ordering the dishes, the guy brought the song singer in.

The middle-aged man was carrying a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and the man held a santry guitar.

"What do the four young men want to hear?" the middle-aged man asked, bowing his back.

"Pick up your specialty and sing." Shangguan Shanshan didn't have high requirements.

The man sat down on a chair by the door and pulled out the strings.

The little girl sang: "The drunken boat is rippling, and the faith flows deep into the flowers... The mountains are countless, red like rain, and I don't remember the way I came."

The little girl's voice is crisp and nice, but she failed to sing the lyrics. The person was bound by the government and was resentful, and she hid her miserable state of yearning for the fairyland and no way out of the world.

The poet was so sad that she couldn't sing it.

It is too embarrassing to let a little girl sing the confused state of the lyrics.

Shangguan Shanshan said, "Sing happily."

"Yes." The middle-aged man was a little uneasy, and he pulled out the strings again.

The little girl sang briskly: "When the swallows came to Xinshe, the pear blossoms fell behind Qingming Festival. There were three or four green moss on the pond, and one or two orioles on the bottom of the leaves..."

While the little girl was singing, the guy brought the meal.

Shangguan Shanshan ordered a quail eggplant. Li Luotang frowned when he saw the eggplant.

Li Luotang didn't take the chopsticks for this dish, she ate salt-fried mutton.

Although it is called "Salt Fried Lamb", the vegetables are stewed.

It looks a bit oligosalty and fresh water, and it tastes good.

There is no smell of mutton. If you take a bite, you will feel that the meat is fresh and fragrant, smooth and tender.

Before I could taste it carefully, a piece of mutton was already in my stomach.

"Yiyi, don't you like this dish?" Shangguan Shanshan thought for a moment, "You ate it last time fried quail."

"I don't want to eat eggplant." Li Luotang swallowed the mutton and said.

"Eggplant is a good thing. It can clear away heat and detoxify, promote diuresis and reduce swelling, and also..."

"I know the effects of eggplant. I don't want to eat eggplant because I've eaten too much for a while and got tired of it."

"Who is so brave? You dare to keep eating eggplant." Shangguan Shanshan asked curiously.

"This is a long story."

"Looking at the same time, there is time."

Li Luotang briefly said what happened at Heroes Villa.

Shangguan Shanshan was amused, "The owner of this villa is a master. You can eat eggplant and you will feel uncomfortable and save money!"

After dinner, the four of them returned to the inn and went back to their rooms, washed and changed clothes, and went to bed to rest.

The next day, they went to the Great Buddha Temple.

The Great Buddha Temple, also known as Jingyin Temple, is built on the mountain, leans on the west side of the Jue Mountain and the Fen River in the east.

The four of them did not believe in Buddhism, so they went to the Great Buddha Temple, mainly to see the earth-carved Buddha.

Many temples are called Big Buddha Temples, but the big Buddhas in those temples are mostly stone carvings and wood carvings.

Only the big Buddha in Jingyin Temple in Taiyuan is earth sculpture, which is rare.

"Yiyi, do you know the legend of the Buddha in the earthen hall of Jingyin Temple?" Shangguan Shanshan asked.

"Listen attentively." Li Luotang smiled.

Shangguan Shanshan clenched her fist, put it on her lips, coughed lightly, and said, "It is said that a long time ago, the earthen land collapsed and collapsed into a cave. The mound in the cave was ten feet high and looked like a Buddha statue. This is the origin of the Buddha in the Tutang."

"I have also heard a legend. Do you want to listen?" Li Luotang asked with a smile.

"You said you said."

"This Buddhist temple used to be deserted. Every day, a shepherd boy came to herd sheep. He could secretly hear a voice transmission "Release me out" and "Release me out"... The golden light faded, and the Buddha revealed his true appearance... The cliffs on the back mountain are full of strange cypresses, with branches flying, forming a dragon-phoenix shape."

"Your legend is more legendary than the one I said."

"I saw it in "Travels and Strange Talks"," Li Luotang smiled.

Jingyin Temple is a layout that faces north and south, with two courtyards.

In addition to the Big Buddha Pavilion on the west side of the courtyard, on the central axis, there are also the Main Hall, the Guanyin Hall and the Ksitigarbha Hall on the two sides. The southward direction of the Main Hall is the single Weituo Hall.

Shangguan Shanshan opened the fan with a snap, shook her head and chanted: "Looking on the mountain and digging a large kiln, Buddha sat in the kiln, one by one, how is this poem?"

"If your poem is not right, just two sentences can become a poem?" Li Luotang said with a lip.

"You can take a few words."

"I don't know, go in." Li Luotang raised his legs and walked in.

You can see the Buddha sitting cross-legged, with his eyes slightly closed, his forehead wide, his nose bridge high, his ears reaching his shoulders, his chest crossing, his hands pressing, his palms facing upward, his treasure looks solemn.

"This is obviously carved. I thought it was really broken out of the Buddha statue." Shangguan Shanshan felt deceived.

"You can't do such a meticulous work, it's okay to split a god-like person. If you really do this, you will be scared." Shen Junyu interrupted and smiled.

"I'm very brave, so I won't be scared." Shangguan Shanshan said arrogantly.

Come out from the Great Buddha Pavilion and go to the main hall of the Great Hall.

The middle of the hall is enshrined with Sakyamuni Buddha, the east is the Medicine Buddha, and the west is the holding of Amitabha Buddha.

The Buddha's garment of Sakyamuni Buddha's double collars drooped and covered with shoulders. The Buddha's garment of Medicine Buddha in the east and the Buddha's garment of Amitabha Buddha in the west are half-dressed.

There are eighteen Arhats in Guanyin Hall, and there are ten great Yanjuns in Ksitigarbha Hall.

Some of these sculptures are very exquisite, while others are short and have an unbalanced proportion.

"It should be done by two groups of craftsmen." Li Luotang said.
