Chapter 60 The 60th Round of Dumb Bells, Crazy Monk, Crazy Linggu Temple, Zhigong's Grave

In addition, the Taizu ordered Yousi to put the statues of Liao Yong'an and others in the temple of meritorious officials, and sacrifice them every year, while welcoming Yong'an's coffin and burying them on the side of Zhongshan.He also said: "Chuzhou City God and Suzhou City God showed spirits in the army, and together with Hezhou City God, they can jointly confer the title of Chengtianjian Guosi Mingling Protector King, and give special praise. The jade scrolls used in the imperial script are different from those in other places; it is like Tianwangtang The statue of the god of land in the east verandah will be covered by the reconstruction of the golden hall." Xu Da led the order to leave the court.

But it is said that there was a Living Buddha born in the Tang Dynasty, and his words were echoed, which was very rare, and everyone called him the Great Monk Baozhi.Later, when the sun ascended to heaven, this mortal body was buried in Jinling.The former was ordered to build a palace, and the officials of the two ministries of rites and engineering all played to invite Buji, which happened to be beside the tomb of the elder Baozhi.Taizu ordered him to be buried elsewhere so that he could be established.All the ministers were ordered, and the next day, they tried every means to dig and dig.Seeing that the work was difficult to start, Taizu was very unhappy.Back in the central palace, Madam Ma continued to ask: "Wen Zhigong's tomb is very difficult to move, I think the cause and effect of this is not small, the lord even ordered the historian to make a proper divination, so that it will become the foundation that will never be removed for thousands of years. Besides, Zhigong has always been supernatural. Wouldn’t he want to preserve his own body in the dark? Your Highness, like Bu Deji, should choose a good place to build a temple with him and set up fields. He should only replace him with the following documents and burn them. A few Buddha bones Bless you, I don't know what your Highness is like?" Taizu responded, "This is very true." The next morning, he divination with Liu Ji.If the divination is good, the work must not be dug indiscriminately.Taizu himself made the transaction documents and burned them on Zhigong's tomb.He was ordered to build a temple in the east of Zhongling Mountain, named Linggu Temple.Pines and cypresses are planted all over, a beamless hall is built in the middle, bell and drum towers are set up on the left and right, and the "Jingyang Bell" hangs on the tower.And when it was connected, a bronze bell was cast, which was intended to be used in the hall.You can knock on the day it is cast, but it won't ring.At that time, they all called "dumb bells" and there was a nursery rhyme that said: If you want to hit the dumb bells to ring, you must be a monk in Linggu Temple.

There is a tower behind the hall without beams, and the elder Zhigong listens to it. On the day when the hall was completed, although the temple monks set up bells and drums, there must be a pair of sample bells and drums in the hall, so they did some homework every day, and it was convenient.While discussing, suddenly a Toutuo came to the hall and said: "The 'dumb bell' is not easy to use. Why bother to discuss it." These monks laughed and clapped hands with those many things, and said: "Since you know the 'dumb bell', use it. Why?" Na Toutuo replied, "Now that he is used in this palace, he will not be dumb anymore." Everyone followed him, let alone paid him any attention.That Tuo Qi will stand up and shout: "If you don't believe me, the poor monk will also set you free. If I played the imperial court or obeyed me, hung it up and knocked loudly, I'm afraid you will offend a lot at that time, and it will be too late to regret it." " Then he straightened his sleeves and jackets, and headed all the way to Chang'an. Some of these people only said that Tutuo thought he was a lunatic, and ignored him; This head is in vain; some people say that we should persuade him to turn around, and if we touch the holy wrath, we will also ask for trouble here, so they keep rushing to persuade him.Na Toutuo said: "Since you persuaded me, I think some of you would agree to me, so why should I oppose you?" Because he also turned around and came to the temple.Those people kept silent because he arrived, and kept their eyes open to see what he was doing.Na Toutuo gave his confidence to the sky, walked three or five turns towards the clock, read a few mantras in his mouth, and shouted: "Get up!" The clock stood up in the sky.This Tutuo wiped the mud off the clock, and saw that the bell frame in the hall was just right, so he pointed his fingers and said, "you can fly up the hanger by yourself." On the shelf.Thousands of people watched it, and they couldn't stop applauding.Toutuo then took out a poplar branch and a clean bottle from his sleeve, drew a Taoist symbol in the bottle, and suddenly a bottle of clean water appeared in the bottle, he said a few Sanskrit words and sprinkled the clean water around the clock for three times. Over and over again, take a piece of paper and burn it by the clock, and feel it around, only to hear a clanging sound.He took a wooden plant and bumped it towards it, the bell sounded so clear and bright, all these thousands of people said in unison: "Weird! Weird!" The monks of the Hesi Temple and the good men and women bowed their heads and said: "Yes. If you don’t recognize the living Buddha, please ask the master to be the abbot here.” Na Toutuo said: “I have been a monk since I was young, and the Dharma name is Zongli. I go without trace and come without trace, and my supernatural power changes. Where can I restrain my phantom body? I have heard it recently. Son of Heaven, move my Master Zhigong's dharma body here, and respect it very much, because I show this little dharma, you don't need to disturb me here." I am telling the public here, who wants to be imprisoned over there? Seeing his tricks, the internal envoys made a flying horse to report to Taizu.Taizu came to the temple together with Liu Ji, the military adviser, and Li Shanchang, the prime minister.Zong Li knew it long ago, and said forward: "The emperor is driving here, and I, Zong Li, are destined to meet each other. But there is no need to say too much today, and we will meet again after the Chinese New Year." When he bumped into the crowd, he was gone.Taizu saw that the palace had been built, so he chose a day to move Zhigong's body, which was still fat, fragrant and greasy, and looked as if he was alive. He also built a gold coffin and a silver outer coffin for storage.Immediately, he made a great wish and said: "Lend him for one day, and make offerings for one day." On the outer coffin, a pagoda was built, which was ten circles in size and seven stories high, and the labor cost was one million.Three hundred and sixty Zhuangtian were given, and all the funds were used to support Zhigong every day.

It was getting late, so Taizu and Liu Ji turned back from Chaotian Palace.Suddenly I saw a woman in sackcloth laughing by the roadside.Seeing his strange appearance, Taizu asked, "Why are you laughing?" The woman replied, "My husband died for the country, and he was a loyal minister; my son died for his father, and he was a filial son. My husband and son are both loyal and filial, so I He smiled with great joy." The Taizu asked, "Has your husband been buried?" The woman said with her finger, "A few tens of paces to the north is my husband's burial place." The words came to an end.The next morning, I ordered Yousi to look around, but I saw a pile of loess, lush vegetation, and before digging a few feet, there was a stele at the head of the tomb, on which was engraved the five characters "Tomb of Jin Bianhu".The coffin has decayed, but its face looks like life.Two fingers and claws go around the back of the hand six or seven inches.There was a report by Si Chi, who read his loyalty and filial piety, so he ordered to still cover it up and set up a temple to worship.According to the official edict, it happened that a stele was also excavated in the west gate of Xiaoling City, which was the tomb of Sun Quan, Emperor Wu.All the ministers asked to destroy the excavation, and smiled and said: "Sun Quan is also a man, so it's better to keep him to guard the gate; the rest of the tombs will be destroyed."

Tomorrow is midwinter.One day, Li Shanchang, Liu Ji, and Xu Da led all civil and military officials to submit a petition to persuade the emperor to take the throne.Taizu looked at the watch and said to his ministers: "I raised an army with commoner clothes, and the meeting between the monarch and the ministers will be a great success. Although we have Jiangnan today, the Central Plains is still undecided. How can we sit and guard a corner and forget the long-term considerations." Don't listen. Played.Five days later, Li Shanchang waited for the early court and said: "May your Majesty take the position of unification early, so as to comfort the hearts of the people of the world." Taizu said to the courtiers again: "I think: the merits have not been satisfied, the virtues have not been fulfilled, and the unification has not been achieved. The road in the four directions is still stymied. In the past, people laughed at the hypocrites, only to gain a corner, arrogant self-esteem, leading to perdition, making people laugh, how can we go on our own way; if the destiny is there, why bother to seek it!" Shanchang and others replied. Said: "In the past, the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty punished Xiang's family and ascended the Great Treasure to comfort his subjects. Your Majesty's merits and virtues are in harmony with the sky, and human life is where it is. Sincerely cannot be violated." Taizu did not reply. : "In the beginning, I insisted on following the public's words, and I was already the throne. Now Qing and others persuade me to be the emperor. I am afraid that my virtue will not be enough to be worthy of him, so I will wait for another time." people's sentiments.I walked quickly to a ruined monastery, and there was no monk in it.But the ink on the wall was still wet, and there was a picture of a baggy monk with a verse inscribed in it:
