"...Your Highness, this Longshan Mountain is towering, surrounded by mountains in the south, north, and west, and looks like a dustpan. The mountain is dense with trees and the environment is quiet. Standing on the top of the main peak, along the sulfur ditch, looking to the east, the entire Taiyuan City can be seen. It can be seen in the eyes, and it is the place where Zhongling Yuxiu is beautiful and the place of creation.
It is said that when Zen Master Hongli traveled here, he saw a five-color bright cloud shining from the ground and the sky. In the bright cloud, there were four boys sitting on a green lotus seat and playing games, which shook the earth and caused the rocks to collapse. On the collapsed place on the shore, there was a statue of Amitabha Buddha, and all the three Jin Dynasty came to pay their respects. After Chan Master Hongli recorded this vision, he reported it to the court and applied to build a temple here, so there is now the Tongzi Temple! "
Taiyuan City, in the southwest corner, Li Tai, Qin Huaiyu, Meng Wenhao, Tie Dan and other Yanhuang Academy students, escorted by the 300 forbidden troops led by Duguxin, came to the top of Longshan, standing on the top of the mountain, looking out to the east, The city of Taiyuan, illuminated by the rising sun, was dazzling and dazzling. The guard of the governor's mansion sent by Wang Liaoyuan was at Li Tai's side and explained to Li Tai with all his might.
"Oh~! You know a lot!"
Looking around, Li Tai was extremely satisfied with the environment here. He couldn't help but praise the guard, and when the guard heard it, he immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness is wrong, the youngest is a native of Taiyuan, and he has been here since he was a child. Here, I naturally know more than others, this Tongzi Temple, I came here a lot before I was young, Your Highness, come here, and in front of it is the Buddhist pavilion of Tongzi Temple, which enshrines the Three Saints of the West!"
Having said that, the guard pointed to the north and made a please gesture to Li Tai.
It is a huge Buddhist pavilion, with two layers up and down, built on the mountain, and the scale is very grand.
Dugu Xin, who was on the side, winked left and right, and the two teams of the Imperial Army suddenly filed out and ran towards the Buddhist pavilion to the north. When Li Tai saw this, he didn't say anything, but stood beside him and waited quietly for something. .
After a while, a forbidden army quickly ran out from the inside and whispered to Duguxin: "General Qi, everything is normal in the Buddhist pavilion, and no danger has been found!"
Dugu Xin nodded, then gave Li Tai a wink, Li Tai understood, and said to the guard of the Bingzhou Governor's House: "Since you are quite familiar with this place, then go ahead and lead the way!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
The guard clasped his fists and slowly walked towards the Buddha Pavilion in front of Li Tai's left.
Li Tai and others walked in and took a look, only to find that this Buddhist pavilion is composed of the front porch and the main part of the pavilion. The front porch is five rooms wide, one room deep, about ten feet wide and two feet deep, with nine eaves pillars, all of which are large-sized treasures covered with lotus, arranged in a north-south direction. The diameter of the lotus-covered part of the column base is nearly three feet in diameter. , Taiming is a stone building, the ground is paved with slate, but the square bricks are used in the Ming Dynasty.
The main body of the Buddhist pavilion is more than ten feet wide and five feet deep, which is more spacious than the front porch. The wall is built vertically with strip stones, and the northern part of the wall is built directly on the natural rock mass. In the middle of the wall, the door opens in the bright room. There are no carvings on the outside of the wall, but the inside is full of carvings of thousands of Buddhas.
Inside the Buddhist pavilion, statues of the three Western saints—Amitabha Buddha, Avalokitesvara, and Dashizhi Bodhisattva—are carved along the cliffs. Incredibly intimidating!
"This Buddhist pavilion is magnificent. With only these three Buddha statues and the thousands of Buddha carvings on the stone walls, it can also be called a Buddhist holy place. It was abandoned and ruined due to the war in the Central Plains. It's a pity!"
After a tour of the Buddhist pavilion, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Huaiyu's mother believed in Buddhism, and there was a Buddhist hall in the backyard of the Qin family. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, Qin Huaiyu also had some good feelings for the Buddhist family, so she sighed!
Hearing this, the rest of them couldn't help but nodded.
In all fairness, although this Tongzi Temple is dilapidated on the surface, the majestic buildings, Buddha statues, and exquisite carvings in the temple all show its former glory and how much thought was spent by the temple builders at that time, and its inner art. Value, in fact, what can the dust in this Buddhist temple cover up?
"Whether it's broken or brilliant, now this Buddhist temple can be used by us, and it can be regarded as making the best use of it!"
Due to the relatively long time spent "being together" with Li Zexuan, a disciple of the Heavenly Master and Dao, Li Tai didn't have much "cold" for Buddhism.
"Qing Que, are you planning to... choose here?"
Hearing what Li Tai said, Meng Wenhao moved in his heart and asked aloud.
When Li Tai assigned the task in the morning, he thought it would take a lot of time to select the location of the telegraph relay station, but he never imagined that Li Tai would decide the location just after a trip to Longshan, which was too much. All right?
However, although he was surprised, Meng Wenhao did not relax his vigilance, and did not reveal any news about the telegraph relay station, because there was an outsider here - the guard of the Bingzhou Governor's House!
It is related to the success or failure of the academy's mission and the safety of the teachers and students of the academy, any one of them must be cautious again and again!
"Almost, but before I decide, I have to make sure of a few things!"
Li Tai nodded and replied to Meng Wenhao, and then he said to the guard of the Bingzhou Governor's House, "Is there another floor above this Buddhist pavilion? What is the first floor for?"
The guard quickly replied: "Go back to your Highness, I have also been to the small one on the upper floor, just a few meditation rooms, nothing special, you should be able to live in if you clean up!"
Li Tai nodded and said: "Okay! This king knows! It's none of your business here, you've done a good job, go down the mountain and go back to the city to find the leader of the provincial governor.
Reward it! "
From the beginning to the end, he did not ask the name of the guard of the governor's house, because for him, he did not need to know!
"Yes! Thank you, Your Highness!"
The guard was overjoyed and quickly bowed to thank him.
After speaking, he bowed to Li Tai and turned to go down the mountain.
"Come on, let's go up and have a look!"
After the guards of Bingzhou Prefect's Mansion left, Li Tai said to everyone.
After all, he raised his feet and wanted to walk, while several of the guards around him rushed towards the stairs first. Li Tai didn't take it seriously and continued to walk towards the second floor with everyone.
Since there is a towering Buddha statue on the first floor of the Buddhist pavilion, the height of the first floor is more than ten feet high. Everyone took a lot of effort to climb the stairs to reach the second floor of the Buddhist pavilion. There are more than ten rooms, which should be the Zen room mentioned by the guard of the governor's mansion. Li Tai walked to one of them at will, without pushing the door, because the imperial guard who had gone upstairs earlier had already helped him open the doors of all the rooms and inspected the room. the environment inside.
After entering the meditation room, except for candlesticks, incense cases, wooden fish, and futons, there are no special ornaments in the room. Of course, these ornaments are covered with a thick layer of dust, and some are also hung with dense spider webs. Apparently it hasn't been taken care of in a long time!
Fortunately, Li Tai and others came during the day, and it was also fortunate that they had not seen "A Chinese Ghost Story", otherwise they would have thought of the gloomy, desolate and dilapidated Lanruo Temple!
"General Dugu, from what you see, can this Longshan and Tongzi Temple hide soldiers? How many soldiers can they hide?"
The dilapidated scene in front of him did not disappoint Li Tai. At this time, he looked at Duguxin beside him and asked.
In the face of Li Tai's inexplicable question, Dugu Xin thought about it for a moment, and then he understood the key point. He pondered for a moment and replied, "If Your Highness intends to choose a location here, first, you can set up a defender at the foot of Longshan. When going up the mountain, the last general has already had people look around. There is only one mountain road in Longshan that can reach the top of the main peak. As long as the defenders guard the mountain road, they can ensure that there will be no idle people waiting to go up the mountain. According to the terrain at the foot of the mountain, the most Can accommodate two thousand defenders;
Second, the main peak of Longshan is extremely top, the ground is flat and wide, and surrounded by mountains on the south, north and west sides, a checkpoint can be set up at the east gate to prevent fish that slip through the net. Hundred Guards;
Third, this Buddhist pavilion is built on the mountain. There are many grottoes excavated on the mountain wall. In the grottoes and the second floor of this Buddhist pavilion, soldiers can be hidden. According to the estimate of the last general, it should be able to accommodate fifty elites! "
Dugu Xin is worthy of being the commander of the Imperial Guard, and his subjective consciousness has always maintained a high level of military literacy. During the process of climbing the mountain and visiting the Buddhist pavilion, he has already figured out all the topography and topography on the mountain and under the mountain, and even even He already knew where to hide soldiers and where to set up guards!
Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but admire Duguxin: "General Dugu is really a military strategist, and Tai admires it!"
"Your Highness is wrong!"
Duguxin gave a faint salute and said.
Li Tai smiled and put down the topic. He turned to Tie Dan, Meng Wenhao, Qin Huaiyu and the others and said, "Longshan Mountain is high and there is no obstruction around it. This Buddhist pavilion is also majestic and tall, and a little cleaning can take our things away. They all moved in, and you heard what General Dugu just said. The terrain of Longshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Do you have any objections?"
In fact, this Tongzi Temple is indeed an excellent site for a telegraph relay station. First, Longshan is towering (more than 1,200 meters above sea level), followed by the towering and tall Buddhist pavilion of Tongzi Temple on Longshan. The buildings are well preserved and convenient. Yanhuang Academy and others directly moved in the required machines and equipment and built a telegraph relay station!
After hearing the words, everyone nodded and said, "I agree! It's really suitable here!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Seeing this, Li Tai said with satisfaction: "That's good! Let's act immediately according to the tasks assigned in the morning, survey, evaluate, and move things, Tie Dan, Wen Hao, Huai Yu, you are busy here first, I will follow General Dugu. Go back to the city and tell Mr. Mo Chui and the rest of the teachers and students by the way!"
"it is good!"
