Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

The old monk Huijing, who had worshiped the Buddha devoutly for decades, cried on the spot!

Thus, countless tributes were placed in front of the statue, and all the Buddhist disciples in Chang'an, from old to young, knelt around the statue.

If it wasn't for the yamen servants from Jingyang County, they would have hugged the Buddha statue and kissed them!

"Our family has been farming for generations. Early yesterday morning, I was about to go to work in the field. As soon as I went out, I saw a head sticking out of the field!"

"At that time, I was terrified. I thought someone had buried a dead body in my field, so I quickly reported it to the police!"

"Who would have imagined it? It didn't take long for this statue to be revealed. Our county magistrate said it was a miracle!"

The old farmer who found the statue introduced it with a red face.

The old monk Huijing on the side nodded again and again, a little more excited than the old farmer.

With a living miracle in front of your eyes, are you afraid that the common people will not be able to do it?

What do Taoist sects use to compete with Buddhist sects?

Could it be that you can make the statue of Lao Tzu emerge from the soil by itself?

"Old benefactor, the poor monk represents the world's Buddhist disciples and wants to buy your land. You can set a price at will!"

Old monk Huijing was generous once in a while.

God statues are the most precious treasures of Buddhism. The place where the god statues were born must also be a treasure of Buddhism. How can they continue to be kept in the hands of others?

The old farmer was taken aback and scratched his head, "We are tenants, and the land deeds are in the hands of the master!"

Old monk Huijing was worried, so he asked, "Which family's land is this?"

The old farmer chuckled and said, "Master, haven't you heard of it? Our young master is someone who is valued even by His Majesty!"

The old monk Huijing felt a 'thump' in his heart!

Liubai's field?

This is broken!

I just offended Liu Bai a few days ago, how can I talk to him about buying land?

But it’s okay not to go.

Judging by Liu Bai's appearance, he has no piety towards Buddhism.

If he destroys the statue of Buddha on a whim, Buddhist disciples all over the world will have no place to cry even if they cry.

Liu family!

There are so many people today.

Fang Xuanling and others came, Wang Ji came back, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chumo also came back!

Even Li Er couldn't help being curious, so he sent Liu Jin to find out.

A large group of people surrounded Liu Bai, asking questions in one go.

Liu Bai was very annoyed.

Most people are curious, but there is only one person who is extremely devout to Buddhism.

Xiao Yu!

Xiao Yu's ancestor believed in Buddhism, which has been passed down to this day.

Apart from going to court and dealing with government affairs, the old man spent all his time burning incense and chanting scriptures.

The whole person smells like sandalwood.

He tugged on Liu Bai's sleeve vigorously, and did not let go of anything.

"The old man saw it with his own eyes. The Buddha grew out of the soil. How can you say it was man-made? Don't lie to the old man!"

With red eyes, Xiao Yu questioned Liu Bai.

Liu Bai pulled his arm back, "I've said it a hundred times, it's just a trick, it's specially used to deal with old monk Huijing, why are you joining in the fun?"

Anyway, sooner or later they will reveal their secrets, so it's okay to tell them in advance.

As long as the old monk Huijing is hidden from the truth, it is enough.

None of these people have big mouths.

Besides, Liu Bai is not afraid of them going to 'inform'.

Even if old monk Huijing knew about it, so what?

The common people in the world don't know.

Buddhism has used this reason to announce to the believers all over the world that it intends to hold several grand gatherings.

Could it be that old monk Huijing slapped himself in the face?

But no matter what Liu Bai said, Xiao Yu didn't believe it.

"Hurry up and hand over the land deed of that land, if not, the old man will be bumped to death in your Liu family!"

They are all Buddhist disciples, who doesn't want to bring the miracle back to their own home?

Xiao Yu didn't even plan to take the old face anymore, he only thought about getting that piece of land.

While speaking, he waved a few pieces of paper in his hand.

"I don't have any farmland in Chang'an anymore. These are [-] mu of land in Hebei Road, so just change it to three mu of land. Don't you agree?"

Liu Bai really had no choice but to ask Chai Lingwu to go to his study and bring out the pot of bean sprouts that had sprouted.

"I've said it all, there is no miracle at all, it's just a pot of bean sprouts, and the clay sculpture was pushed out of the soil!"

Chapter 187: 20 Mu of Chang'an Fertile Land, [-] Guan of Silver

Except for Liu Jin, the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, everyone else is at least a second-rank minister!

This is such a group of people, but surrounded by a pot of bean sprouts that are not even worth three pennies, they were stunned for a long time.

Xiao Yu's face was pale, trembling all over, he pointed to a pot of bean sprouts slowly, and it took him a long time to say a word.

"It's just a pot of bean sprouts, and the statue of Buddha is pushed up?"

Liu Bai spread his hands as a matter of course, "Of course the bean sprouts came from the top, otherwise do you think there will be a miracle?"

Xiao Yu stood on the spot like a wooden stake and didn't move for a long time.

The others were no better than him.

Fang Xuanling gave Liu Bai a bitter look, and walked away without even saying hello!

Gao Shilian, Du Ruhui and others followed closely behind, also gave Liu Bai a look, and left Liu's house.

The miracle is just a joke, or rather, it is a trick by Liu Baibian!

This is what Liu Bai once learned in TV dramas.

Originally, this was just a trick to defraud people of money, but it was later seen through by Ji Xiaolan, who is known as "iron teeth and copper teeth".

In the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that as long as the Buddha statue is not dug out, no one can guess the mystery.

That's why Liu Bai asked Di Zhixun to arrange government servants to surround the statue.

People left one after another, and Liu Jin also went back to report the truth to Li Er.

There is nothing to hide from Li Er.

The more farmland in Liu Bai's hands, the better for Datang.

Li Chengqian and Cheng Chumo planned to stay at home for dinner, they squatted next to the bean sprouts pot, having a great time playing.

During lunch, Liu Bai did not take a nap as usual, but sat under the wintersweet tree in the yard and drank tea.

As soon as a pot of tea was brewed, the concierge came to report that some old monks had come to the door.

Old monk Huijing and others had already arrived.

But when he heard that Liu Bai was eating lunch, he was afraid of disturbing him, so he deliberately stopped the porter and waited for Liu Bai to finish eating before asking the porter to report.

"Young Master Liu, we meet again."

Old monk Huijing smiled all over his face. After greeting Liu Bai, he immediately put a land deed on the stone table.

"Back then, the monks in Huayan Temple hurt the young master's subordinates. This ten thousand mu of farmland is the poor monk's apology!"

Liu Bai didn't look at Tian Qi.

His current appetite is far from being satisfied by [-] mu of farmland.

However, he was not in the mood to go around in circles with old monk Huijing.

They are all sensible people, so there is no need to play tricks.

Up to now, it has become a business where the price is raised on the ground and the money is paid back when it lands.

Liu Bai put down the teapot and stretched out a finger.

"20 mu of Chang'an fertile land, [-] guan silver!"

This is the number he came up with after careful investigation.

The farmland of Buddhism around Chang'an is about [-] mu in total.

Take an integer, and it can be regarded as leaving some rations for Buddhism.

Otherwise, all the Buddhist disciples in Chang'an would starve to death, Liu Bai would inevitably feel a little awkward.

As for 20 guan silver, it is not too much for Buddhism.

What's more, Liu Bai didn't really intend to ask for it, he just left old monk Huijing a room for bargaining.

Old monk Huijing and his brothers were taken aback by Liu Bai's appetite!

Behind him, there was a tall old monk with a green scalp and a tall figure, with his eyebrows raised upright.

"The poor monk and others just want to exchange for the three acres of Susukida where the miracle was born. The benefactor is too aggressive!"

Old monk Huijing reprimanded him, "Huitong, don't be rude!"

Liu Bai was not angry either, and said leisurely, "Master, do you know Xiao Yu, Lord Xiao?"

Huijing frowned, and said, "Of course we know each other."

Xiao Yu believes in Buddhism, and is close friends with many Buddhist disciples, and is also the biggest "backer" of Buddhism in the court.

"When Lord Xiao came here just now, he planned to exchange [-] mu of fertile land with Liu for the three mu of Susukida. Guess whether Liu agreed to him or not?"

As he said that, Liu Bai looked at old monk Huijing playfully.

A look of struggle flashed across the old monk Huijing's eyesight.

If it was someone else, he would have gone to some important court officials with good relations to put pressure on them, forcing them to hand over the land of miracles.

But who is Liu Bai?

Even Xiao Yu has been tricked by Liu Bai many times.

pressure?

Even if he finds Li Er's connection, he can't do anything with Liu Bai.

"The poor monk sincerely wants to buy it, and please give me a real price!"

The old monk Huijing's voice was a little astringent.

Using all the temple properties in Chang'an for a clay sculpture and three acres of Susukida, no matter how uncomfortable it sounds.

But it won't work if you don't change it!

The miracles of Buddhism must be enshrined by Buddhism, and Buddhist temples must be built where the miracles are born.

Otherwise, the Taoist sect will definitely take the opportunity to come in, saying that the Buddhist disciples in Chang'an are not pious enough.

At that time, the loss will be even greater!

It is even possible for Buddhism to be completely defeated in the battle between Buddhism and Taoism!

Liu Bai waved his hand very generously, "Since the master is so kind, then Liu will also give in. With [-] mu of Chang'an farmland and one hundred thousand silver coins, Liu has given the master a hard discount!"

Hearing what Liu Bai said, old monk Huijing felt a little better.
