The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

"My guest, please listen to me and tell you slowly. There is a towering tower in this pagoda temple called the 'Nine Mirror Tower'. This tower has nine floors, each floor is octagonal, with a gold plate on top and a gold plate on the bottom. There are double towers. Each floor has cornices and each side is inlaid with copper. On the top of the tower, there is a bronze mirror facing the sky. This pagoda temple is quite grand. The Buddha statues inside are coated with gold and covered with brocade cassocks. Every day Every day, thousands of people are teaching and reading Buddhist scriptures around the temple halls. The number of people who come to the temple to worship every day ranges from thousands to tens of thousands!"

Xiao Yuhan listened quietly to the waiter's story, sipping water from time to time.

"The common people who come to the Buddha Temple to pray are very sincere in their prayers. The amount of sesame oil offered to the temple is not a small amount. The temple is also very generous. Every year, there will be a Buddha Bathing Ceremony. A banquet is set up so that everyone who comes to worship can eat and drink for free. The government will also assist the temple in setting up a banquet and maintaining order on this day. My husband and I have also attended it several times. It was such a huge scene that I will never forget it once in my life. ah."

The female shopkeeper came over and brought a bowl of water to her husband and asked him to serve the food. The waiter finished the drink in one gulp and ran to serve the food. The female shopkeeper smiled and said to Xiao Yuhan: "Make the young hero laugh."

Xiao Yuhan waved her hand and said it was okay.

The female shopkeeper continued the previous topic and said: "Now the monks in the south of the city have set up porridge sheds outside the temple to provide relief to the victims. They also provide treatment for the sick and injured, and offer salvation to the dead. So what you see, young hero, is The refugees who are waiting for relief, you came from Chendong, and there are actually some in the west of the city. There are so many refugees now, and the price of food has also risen sharply. The court can't control the life and death of the people at all. This Buddha Temple is the hope of these refugees!"

Xiao Yuhan thought for a while and asked: "Since the government can't control the lives and lives of the people, isn't this Futu Temple using its own property to help the victims? With so many people, how many days can it control them?"

The female shopkeeper covered her mouth with a smile and said, "It's been more than a month."

Xiao Yuhan frowned and asked, "Have there always been so many people?"

"It's already much less. It used to be dozens of miles long."

"How long does their porridge shack open in a day?"

"From the beginning of Mao Shi to the end of Xu Shi, the porridge shacks will be lit at night, and monks will patrol around the refugee team with torches. The porridge shacks are open on time every day, and the refugees wait in place during the break, so the people queuing up every day are like this long."

"This……"

"Sir, the food is here!" The waiter came over with five cakes in the bamboo basket in his left hand and a plate of vegetables in his right hand.

"You eat first, just call us if you need anything. My name is Ye Hong, and my husband's name is Zhang Erlang." The shopkeeper Ye Hong returned to the counter with an empty water bowl, and Zhang Erlang trotted to continue serving food.

Xiao Yuhan nodded and dealt with it, then started thinking while eating the cake.

She thought to herself: This pagoda temple is by no means simple. Without the support of the government, it is impossible to give up porridge like this. Even if they have money, where can they get so much food?

Xuanzang did not go westward at this time, and the concept of Buddhism spread at this time may not be the same as that of later generations. The Buddha in "Journey to the West" is a divine Buddha, and what my mother learned when she took me to the temple to pray was that the Buddha did not intend to become an idol, but only wanted to spread Buddhism. This pagoda temple is probably still focused on spreading Buddhism. Considering the cultural level of this era, in terms of communication effect alone, no story about gods, Buddhas and idols can come out faster.

No matter how she thought about it, she felt that the behavior of the Buddha Temple was very unreasonable, but the food was done impeccably, and even after eating 10 cakes, she didn't even think of a reason, so it was a no brainer.

"Shopkeeper Ye, do you know where Qinglong Fort is?" Xiao Yuhan felt that Ye Hong was not as simple as it seemed, and she didn't want to get involved in the army of refugees, so she asked with a try attitude, in case she knew, No need to go to the city in trouble.

"Young hero is going to Qinglong Fort?" Ye Hong did not answer directly.

"Oh, I was rash just now." Xiao Yuhan realized that it was rude to be too focused on the problem just now. He stood up and bowed to Ye Hong and said, "My name is Chen Wenruo. I am from Yangdu, Langya County. I plan to go to Qinglong Fort to join my relatives."

Ye Hong chuckled lightly and replied: "You're welcome, Mr. Chen. Please sit down first. Qinglong Fort is 30 miles southeast from here to Xiapi Nanyi, and then walk 30 miles across Yishui River."

After Xiao Yuhan heard about the whereabouts of Qinglong Fort, she hurriedly finished the remaining vegetables and rice porridge, wiped her mouth, said goodbye to Ye Hong and his wife, and hurried on the road.

Ye Hong looked at Xiao Yuhan who was walking away, her smile slowly faded, she threw a jade talisman to the diners who had been sitting in the corner, and said: "Immediately send a message to Qinglong Fort that our missing young master may be back. On the way to Qinglong Fort, ask them to send someone to verify."

After the man got up and went out, Zhang Erlang, the waiter in the hall, put away the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Alas! Since the death of Mr. Chen San and his wife, our Baihu Hall has completely fallen into silence. If it hadn't been for our losses in that battle..."

"Stop talking!" Ye Hong glared at Zhang Erlang and said coldly: "The White Tiger Hall is the foundation of the Chen family. We foreign service personnel should not talk about it casually."

"But he is our young master! He is the only child of the White Tiger Hall! As long as he is still there, the White Tiger Hall can be restored..."

"I've already said it, don't say it. How old is he? The world has become such a mess. He can't handle it." A complex look flashed in Ye Hong's eyes. He looked at the two pieces of silk left by Xiao Yuhan, and there was a hint of confusion at the corner of his mouth. A smile flashed across his face instantly.

Zhang Erlang punched the table, then picked up the dishes on the table and said, "We should believe the young master!"

Ye Hong rolled her eyes at him and threw the water bowl she had just received on the cabinet over.

Zhang Erlang caught the bowl with his right hand, dropped it on top of the porridge bowl he was holding, and walked to the back kitchen.

Xiapi Nanyi is a quiet town. There is a river called Xiaoyishui in the south of the town. It flows here from the east, bends southward in the east of the town, and finally flows into Surabaya River. There is an ancient bridge on the Xiaoyi River, called Yu Bridge. It connects the two cities of Xiapi and Sizhou and is also one of the landmark buildings here.

According to historical records, Yuanqiao once witnessed a famous historical event - Zhang Liang and Huang Shigong met here, and Huang Shigong taught Zhang Liang how to govern the country on the bridge. This scene is called "Huang Shi Gong". Therefore, Yuanqiao is also known as the "Huangshi Book-Teaching Bridge".

Xiao Yuhan stared at the bridge blankly by the Xiaoyi River. She was not attracted by the cultural heritage here. She was just thinking: The fleet of Shu monks is a building ship. How did they get through this small bridge hole? What about? Did you dismantle the bridge, send the ship over and repair it using secret methods? Or did you directly control the ship to fly there? If the fleet has a secret method that can increase its speed, then it must be no problem to fly over.

Yes, it must have flown there!
