Datang romantic little landlord

The temple host immediately recited the Buddha's name silently, and led all the monks in the temple to kneel down, and recited the mysterious scriptures loudly, and the solemn and solemn atmosphere of Buddhism made everyone present immediately bow down and kowtow to the Buddha statue...

The Buddha statue presented by Li Er to Gaochang State was immediately declared as a national treasure of Gaochang State by Qu Wentai, the leader of Gaochang State.

The temple where this glazed Buddha statue was enshrined was strictly guarded by a large group of soldiers sent by the Lord Gaochang, and all believers who came to offer incense were not allowed to come within ten feet of the glazed Buddha statue.

Except for those monks, anyone who dares to get close to the glazed Buddha statue will be killed without mercy!

And Qu Wentai is very devout, going to the temple every day to offer incense and pray for blessings.

As for the Tang Mission, they temporarily stayed in Gaochang to witness the "friendship" between the two countries.

The Turpan Basin, where Gaochang Kingdom is located, was extremely arid in later generations, with very little rain.But in the Tang Dynasty, the Turpan Basin was an important place for farming.

Although compared with the Central Plains, it still belongs to an area with less rainfall, but compared with other places in the Western Regions, it is considered to have abundant rainfall.

However, after the beginning of summer this year, there has been no rain in Gaochang, and the land has dried up.

Gao Changguo is also worried about this.

In order to pray for rain, Qu Wentai, the lord of Gaochang, simply ordered the temple where the glazed Buddha statue was enshrined to hold a puja. He led all the civil and military officials to the temple to participate in the puja.

I don't know if the Buddha has a spirit. Anyway, on the third day after the rain praying ceremony, raindrops finally fell in Gaochang, which had been drought for a long time.

And once it rained, it fell for a whole day and night, making everyone in Gaochang Kingdom very happy, thinking that it was the result of the blessing of the Buddha.

Qu Wentai, the lord of Gaochang, fell asleep in the sound of the pattering rain.

Early the next morning, he ordered the maid to help him get up and change his clothes, and he went to the temple to fulfill his vow.

But before Qu Wentai finished washing up, he saw a few people stumbling in from outside the palace gate.

"My lord, no, it's not good, something serious happened, Buddha, Buddha statue, Buddha statue, something happened..."

971 Absurd Guess

When Qu Wentai heard this, his expression froze and he glared at the visitor.

"Don't talk nonsense, how could something happen to the Buddha statue? Come on quickly!"

The person who came to report the letter was also pale at this moment, his body was shaking like a sieve, his tongue was knotted, and he couldn't speak for a long time: "My Majesty, Your Majesty, such as, the Tathagata Buddha statue, it, it, it, it melted..."

"What?" Qu Wentai angrily stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the visitor: "What are you talking about? The glazed Buddha statue is not made of ice, how could it melt?"

"Great, Your Majesty, Nu, I dare not lie, Your Majesty personally went to the temple, and you can tell at a glance, Nu, I never tell a single lie."

Qu Wentai also didn't care about talking nonsense with the visitor, kicked the visitor somersault in anger, and then hurriedly ran towards the palace gate.

When Qu Wentai, surrounded by a group of palace guards, hurried to the temple on horseback, there was already a dark crowd gathered here, all kneeling on the ground and kowtowing towards the temple.

It rained heavily yesterday, and these faithful men and women of Gaochang Kingdom naturally, like Qu Wentai, attributed their credit to the blessing of the Buddha.So early this morning, many people rushed to the temple, wanting to burn incense in front of the glazed Buddha statue to restore it.

Unexpectedly, on the golden altar in front of the main hall of the temple, the originally crystal-clear Buddha statue melted like ice cubes drenched in water...

This strange scene scared countless believers to scream, and the word fear was written on everyone's face.

Before Qu Wentai arrived, many civil and military officials of Gaochang Kingdom had already received the news and hurried to the temple.Even the Tang Mission, which was still stationed in Gaochang City, rushed over upon hearing the news.

Qu Wentai jumped off his horse, and was welcomed into the temple by a crowd of ashen-faced officials and monks.

When the lord of Gaochang saw the wreckage of the Buddha statue on the golden altar with his own eyes, his vision suddenly went dark, his body shook violently, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Hey, what's going on here? Why did the Buddha statue become like this!" Qu Wentai burst out after being supported by the guards beside him, and roared wildly at the surrounding people.

There was silence all around, and no one could answer his question.

The devil knows what's going on. How could the glass Buddha statue, which is so good, melt like an ice cube?

If the glazed Buddha statue was cracked or shattered, everyone would still understand, but the melting of the glazed glass for no reason is too unimaginable.

As for the monks in the temple, they even knelt on the ground at this moment, not daring to raise their heads.

How precious the glass Buddha statue is, it was damaged for no reason in their temple. Who can bear such a responsibility?

Seeing that no one spoke, Qu Wentai was even more furious: "Go and get the abbot to Gu, and Gu will ask him what's going on with this Buddha statue!"

Immediately after receiving the order, some monks ran to look for the abbot.

But not long after, I saw the monk stumbling back: "My lord, your lord, abbot, abbot, he hanged himself!"

"What?" When Qu Wentai heard this, his blood pressure surged, his temples thumped.

Apparently, because the Liuli Tathagata Buddha statue melted for no reason, the abbot of the temple felt that he had committed a serious crime and had no face to face the crowd, so he simply chose to commit suicide.

The death of the temple abbot made the atmosphere at the scene even more depressing.

When everyone was speechless, someone suddenly sneered and said, "Hmph, what a suicide! Your Majesty, this is your Gaochang Kingdom's attitude towards the gift of state gifts from His Majesty the Tang Emperor? The saint ordered me not to wait." From thousands of miles away, the glazed Buddha statue was brought to Gaochang country just to let you wait for such willful damage?"

Qu Wentai's eyelids twitched suddenly, and when he looked up, the person who spoke was the envoy of the Tang Dynasty who was sent to Gaochang Kingdom.

Only then did he react with belated awareness. Compared with the damage to the Buddha statue, what is more terrible is that the Buddha statue is a national gift from the Tang Dynasty to Gaochang Kingdom.

Now that the Buddha statue is damaged for no reason, this matter is serious.

To put it lightly, it is Gaochang Kingdom's improper preservation; to put it seriously, it will damage the Tang Dynasty's Tianwei and break the face of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty...

"Duke Tang, I misunderstood, how dare Xiao Wang damage the Buddha statue. This Buddha statue, it, it..." Qu Wentai couldn't continue speaking.

He is still at a loss as to what happened to the Buddha statue.

The Tang Gong that Qu Wentai said was Tang Songling, the eldest son of Tang Jian.

Because Tang Jian said he would surrender to the Turks, he cooperated with the general Li Jing to march and captured Jieli Khan alive, so he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs by Li Erjin.

However, his eldest son, Tang Songling, has inherited Tang Jian's inheritance as a "diplomat" and is now serving as a servant in the Ministry of Rites.He is the official envoy of the mission to Gaochang this time.

Tang Songling snorted coldly: "Misunderstanding? Then I want to ask the king, why did the Liuli Tathagata Buddha statue become what it is today?"

"This, this... Maybe it's hot..." Qu Wentai couldn't continue speaking, and he didn't know why the Buddha statue became like this.

Not to mention the hot weather, the glazed Buddha statue will not melt, even if it is caused by the heat, but some time ago, the glazed Buddha statue was exposed to the sun every day, and it did not melt.

What's more, it rained all day and night yesterday, so there is no possibility of melting due to the heat.

Thinking of the rain, Qu Wentai couldn't help but look up at the already horrible Buddha statue, and couldn't help but a ridiculous thought popped up in his heart, could it be melted by the rain?

Immediately, Qu Wentai himself denied this guess in his heart.

It is absolutely unmistakable that the Buddha statue is made of colored glaze.Including him, all civil and military officials of Gaochang Kingdom have seen this Buddha statue with their own eyes, and even looked at it carefully.
