Before Wang Pang could speak, Han Derong said in confusion: "Master, my young master just arrived here. He clearly made a mistake and lost a few drinks to our brother. Why are you so polite?"

Zhe Kejun pulled Han Derong: "Don't talk nonsense. Young Master never disputes with reasonable people. It seems that this master has a point and wants to talk to Young Master." Han Derong had just followed Wang Pang for a few days, so naturally he didn't know that Wang Pang

He is extremely approachable to the people around him, but he has a requirement not to offend strangers.

Wang Pang thought it was nothing, so he announced his family name and said: "This master, my surname is Wang, and the prefix is ​​Ruo. He just came from the Song Dynasty and is going to Beijing for business."

Qi Song smiled slightly. He saw that the king was also a kind-faced person. Not only was he kind-hearted but he seemed to be different from others, so he invited him: "Even so, I think the donor has a predestined relationship with this temple, so why not invite the donor to sit in the meditation room? I wonder if the donor can appreciate it."

The mood among the four of them was different. Wang Pang thought so and walked in; Zhe Kejun was a little suspicious. He had known that he would have to be more careful during this trip. It would be unsafe for a monk to appear out of nowhere to talk to him. The other two were very safe.

I admire Wang Pang. He just entered the Liao Kingdom and was invited by people after visiting the temple. Wang Shilang always has such a good reputation wherever he goes.[

In the Zen room, cigarette smoke was curling up. Qi Song invited Wang Pang to take a seat, and the young monk in the temple brought tea. In fact, if Qi Song did not invite Wang Pang, Wang Pang would also find a chance to chat with Qi Song. As he said just now, I don’t know if Wang Pang can

He is a person who can predict the future, and he has indeed attracted Wang Pang's attention.

Tianwang Temple was built in the fifth century during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was first named Guanglin Temple. In the second year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty (602), it was called Hongye Temple. In Kaiyuan of the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Tianwang Temple. In the 21st year of Dading in the Jin Dynasty (1181), it was renamed Dawan'an Temple.

The temple was destroyed by war in the Yuan Dynasty, but the palace remained. It was rebuilt during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and it was renamed Tianning Temple during the Xuande period and it has been used for generations to come.

Qi Song saw that Wang Pang was behaving well and heard that he had just said the name Tianning Temple. He was curious and asked: "How did the donor know that this pagoda in this temple will be called Tianning Temple Pagoda?"

When the king heard about Qi Song, he smiled and said, "I was passing by here and saw that this pagoda is very exquisite, handsome, tall and majestic, so the name came to my mind."

Obviously Qisong didn't believe Wang Pang's statement. He asked: "The donor said that this tower is exquisite, but are there other reasons?"

When the king saw Qisong asking, he was wondering whether Qisong knew the reason? He thought for a while: "I saw the Tianning Temple Tower and visually estimated that the tower is twenty or thirty feet high. There are vajra warriors, Bodhisattvas, cloud dragons, etc. carved on both sides of the octagonal thirteen-story door.

, the shape of the statue is vivid and lifelike. The eaves of the thirteen-story tower are gradually reduced layer by layer, showing a rich and powerful scroll. The shape of the whole tower is handsome, tall and majestic, so it feels exquisite."

Qi Song listened and nodded: "Does the donor know the mystery of this thirteen-story tower?"

How could this pass Wang Pang's test: "The pagoda is usually a seven-level pagoda, and the thirteenth level is the highest level, which is usually a royal charter." After Wang Pang finished speaking, he looked at Qi Song and looked at Qi Song, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and thought to himself, I would be afraid if I wasn't more humble.

But the monk didn't say anything, so he respectfully asked for advice: "I only know so much, I hope you can give me some advice."

"Amitabha, the benefactor already knows a lot about this pagoda. Since you mentioned the Tianning Temple pagoda, you are destined to this temple. It seems that whether this temple can avoid a disaster depends on whether the benefactor is willing to take action. If it is inevitable, it is God's will.

"

Wang Ping listened to Qi Song's tone, which seemed to be of great importance and related to his future name. He said without thinking: "Even so, I would like to ask the master for advice. If I can do it, I will do my best."

Qisong nodded and said, "Buddhists talk about fate. Today I am destined to meet the donor. I have something to ask for." He narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something very ancient.

Wang Pang looked at Qi Song's expression, and it seemed that this matter was quite troublesome. However, he saw that Qi Song did not speak, but dipped his hand in a little water and drew a Tai Chi pattern on the table. He asked: "What is this pattern?"

If the Taoist teachings are not Taoist, what would the donor think?"

Now Wang Pang was a little dazed. Apart from the Taoist theory, what the Yin-Yang Fish knew was the Yin-Yang Stone that travels through ancient times and the present. Should he hide something from the monk? If he didn't tell him, would he miss a search for the Stone that travels through the present?

Opportunity?

He thought for a while and made up his mind and said: "I have a stupid eye. If it is not a Taoist theory, I think it should be an accessory."

After hearing this, Qi Song let out a long sigh and said, "We are indeed destined to be together. It seems that there is hope for finding the treasure that will protect the temple."

The treasure of the temple? Could it be this stone that has traveled through the past and the present? "Master, please clarify." Wang Pang said hurriedly and respectfully.

Qisong stood up, walked back and forth a few steps in the room and asked, "Excuse me, the donor just called himself Wang Pang, but is he a well-known minister in the capital who came to Liao as an envoy?"

"Exactly down there!"

Qisong turned his head, stared at Wang Pian closely, and said: "It seems that Wang Shilang is exactly the person this temple is looking for. Maybe you are the only one who can find the temple's treasure." [

This monk was really long-winded. Wang Pang wanted him to say it right away, but he knew that there was no need to rush at this time, so he should give this monk some buffer.

Qisong finally made up his mind and said: "I have also heard that Wang Shilang is a righteous man, so I made this request today. In any case, for the sake of peace in the world, Wang Shilang must agree to it."

When the king heard this, he wondered how a temple-protecting treasure could even affect the peace of the world: "Master, don't worry, as long as I, Wang, can do it, I will do my best."

Qisong was relieved when he saw what Wang Pang said. What could he do if he didn't worry? This matter was of great importance. Since Wang Pang was here today, if he could entrust it to him, he would have fulfilled his wish: "Hey, I just thought

Let me tell you. In the early days of the construction of this temple, the treasure that held the temple was a strange stone. The treasure that held the temple was sealed on the thirteenth floor of the pagoda. Before my master passed away, he called me into the room and told me one thing.

"

Qisong said while recalling the past:

"At that time, Master told me that when he put the stones into the pagoda with his own hands, he seemed to see that the temple would be renamed Tianning Temple. He also seemed to see a fire burning the temple and the pagoda. Later, he secretly added

Go look at the stone, feel it quietly and get enlightenment. The place where this temple is located is the place that determines the peace of the world. In a few years, the war will start from the north. Once the land of Yanyun is crossed, the Central Plains will be devastated and the world will be in chaos."

Wang Pang was confused. This was indeed the case in the land of Yanyun. When the Jin soldiers and cavalry crossed the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, that was when the Song Dynasty was destroyed. "Is there no solution?" Wang Pang couldn't help but ask.

"How? The world is divided and combined. There is no way. It's just that Master believes that as long as there is a treasure that can protect the temple, we can definitely control this place. Before Master passed away, he specifically asked me to take good care of this treasure. Alas!"

Hearing Qisong sigh, he knew that nothing bad had happened. If this treasure was here, there wouldn't be any trust. Wang Pang restrained the thought of taking a look at the ancient stone hidden in his chest: "Is there an accident?"

Can’t make it?”

"Well! One day five years ago, Master went up to the tower again, but... alas, the stone was missing."

Wang Pang guessed this result, but he still pretended to be surprised and said: "What's going on?"

"Master said to me: In the future, a person who will be an official in the Song Dynasty will come and know that this pagoda will be called Tianning Temple. He can find the stone. After saying this, he passed away. In the past few years, I have been paying attention to the officials in the Song Dynasty.

Whenever I come here, I will ask if I know the name of this pagoda. Some time ago, I heard that Wang Shilang was going to the Liao Kingdom, so I paid attention to the monks in the temple. When I saw Wang Shilang, I happened to

The name of this pagoda you are talking about is indeed God’s will. Amitabha!”

The old monk finally finished speaking. The king looked at him and saw that he didn't look like he was going to pass away. If he passed away, he would be in big trouble. If he knew the secret of the temple, he would have to become a monk. Then why not, his name is Qisong, and I will

Calling Dharma names is very irritating.

But Wang Pang thought again, if Qisong’s master happened to take the Yuejin Stone with him when he passed away, then the Yuejin Stone must not have been in the Song Dynasty. How could he find it? Thinking again, it would not be wrong if Qisong’s master had Yuejin Stone with him.

Imaishi would not have known that he would come here, and he was also the one who found Yue Imaishi.

How should he look for it next? Did he really find the Yue Jin Stone and put it in this temple? Wang Pang suddenly felt that this was the most important thing he had done since he came to the Song Dynasty, even more important than his current mission to Liao.

The dangers that the country may encounter are still great.

He calmed down and asked Qisong: "Master, before throwing away this temple-protecting treasure, has anyone ever climbed the pagoda?"

Qisong thought about it carefully: "In those days, the emperors Yelu Zongzhen and Yelu Zongyuan of the Liao Kingdom were offering incense and praying in the temple, and Yelu Zongyuan's son was also there. At that time, the three of them and several guards went there together

tower."

This is troublesome. There are so many suspects, and Yelu Zong is really dead. If he gets it, he can't get it back. There are so many people, so I have to look for it no matter what. "In this case,

Master, could you please take me to the tower to take a look?" Wang Pang made a request. Although he had been to this tower in his previous life, it was of great importance. He wanted to see where the stone that was the treasure of the tower was originally placed.

Qisong led Wang Pang up to the pagoda: This Tianning Temple pagoda is fifty or sixty meters high. The overall structure from bottom to top is: base, flat seat, rosette, tower body, thirteen-story tower eaves, tower top,

Orb, pagoda. The base of the pagoda is a square platform. The bottom is the Xumizuo. The gate at the waist of the Xumizuo is carved with the head of a lion and animal. The middle pillars are embossed with the lotus pattern. The corner is carved with the image of Vajra Warriors. There is another line on the Xumizuo.

The waist is girded, and a seated Buddha statue is carved inside the gate. The pillars and corners are carved with Vajra warrior statues. The upper part of the base is a flat seat, hook rails, and dougong imitation wood structure, and then there are three layers of upward rosettes to support the tower body.

There are arches on the four fronts of the tower, with brick carvings of the King of Heaven on the side of the door. The remaining four sides are straight lattice, with brick carvings of Bodhisattva on the side, which is vivid. Double brick-carved brackets with imitation wood structure are installed under the eaves of each floor. The top of the tower

Use two layers of octagonal lotuses to support a small sumeru base to hold the pearl.

Fortunately, Wang Pang did not dare to relax too much in his daily practice, and climbed up to the thirteenth floor in one breath. When Qisong came up, he pointed to a wall to the east. There was a Buddhist niche on the wall. With a slight twist, the niche was removed.
