[052] Reconstruction of Buddhist temples
Yuxian took the inner elixir of the tiger monster, and a message immediately appeared in Tang Seng's mind: "Your pet "Yuxian" took the inner elixir of the tiger monster and gained a lot of skills and entered the absorption and evolution period. The evolution period was three days. After the evolution was completed, you will obtain a certain level of cultivation. You can no longer use any spells, otherwise it may lead to evolution failure, all previous efforts are wasted, and in severe cases, you may even damage your own cultivation."
When he heard this message, he looked at Yuxian's face flushed and his heart was surging. It was probably because he had taken a lot of skills from the inner alchemy of the tiger monster. He immediately comforted Yuxian and asked her to recuperate and evolve. Then the three of them went down the mountain.
Tang Monk and the other two went down the mountain and sent the good news. The entire Hukou Town was excited. The townsmen brought all the gifts and food they made with their own hands to Tang Monk, the holy monk who had eliminated the tiger monsters in their hearts for them.
Lao Niu brought his precious daughter Cuihua to the Zhen Yuanshou Club to thank Tang Seng. He wanted to kneel down and kowtow, which made Tang Seng laugh and cry. Seeing this strong girl who could fight back desperately under the threat of a tiger monster, Tang Seng still appreciated her. Of course, there was no need to thank him. Tang Seng only said, "Save a life better than building a seven-level pagoda" and "This is what Buddhist disciples should do" to dispel their ideas.
Afterwards, Lao Niu took dozens of hunters from the town to carry the corpse of the tiger monster back. When everyone saw such a huge tiger as a hill, they couldn't help but be shocked. The admiration for Tang Seng became even stronger.
Under the proposal of the Town Elderly Council, residents of Hukou Town voluntarily donated their manpower, material resources and financial resources to rebuild the small temple at the Town Entrance. Oh no, to be precise, it should be an expansion of the temple. On the basis of the original small temple, two halls, the main hall and the back hall, were built, but the area was four or five times the size of the original small temple.
It turned out that the Buddha statues in the small temple had been reshaped with golden body, placed on the main hall, and many statues of Bodhisattvas were shaped in each hall. Among them, there was a young master facing the beautiful face, which was completely different from other Buddha statues. The name of the statue was marked under the statue of this young master: "Three Tsang Living Buddha"!
Seeing this statue of himself, Tang Monk was sweating heavily and hurriedly said to the old president: "Old man, don't you use this statue of my monk? What kind of virtue can I compare with these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas?"
The old president waved his hand and said, "The Buddha of Tathagata and Guanyin Bodhisattva are the great Buddhas who save the heaven and earth, and Elder Tang is the living Buddha who saves the people of Hukou. In the hearts of the people of Hukou, Elder Tang is a living Bodhisattva. Therefore, we must sculpt the statue of Elder Tang in this Sanzang Temple."
"Sanzang Temple?" Tang Monk smiled bitterly again and said, "Why is this?"
The old president laughed and said, "The master is called Sanzang, so we named it Sanzang Temple! I believe that Sanzang Master will definitely achieve perfect merits and become a Buddha in the future. When we have troubles, the living Buddha must come to save us!"
When Tang Seng heard the old president talk more and more outrageously, he could only smile bitterly and nodded, and then hurriedly left the so-called "Sanzang Temple".
The construction of Sanzang Temple was very fast, and all men, women, young and old in the town were in battle. The old president tried his best to keep Tang Monk in Hukou Town for a while. He must see that Sanzang Temple was officially completed and asked him to preside over the opening ceremony before he could let him leave. Tang Monk had no choice but to agree.
After waiting for many days, the Sanzang Temple was finally built quickly. At the temple fair, Tang Monk wore a strange treasure robe and a nine-ring tin staff, wearing this gorgeous monk suit, and presided over the first temple fair and temple opening ceremony of this temple named after his Buddhist name. At the temple fair, Tang Monk spoke to everyone as an honorary host, nothing more than preaching Buddhist etiquette, explaining Buddhist scriptures and Dharma, and the impact of Buddhism on life, etc. After Tang Monk finished speaking, hundreds of people in Hukou Town burst into warm applause - in their eyes, Tang Monk was the living Bodhisattva who saved them from suffering.
After Tang Monk finished speaking, a faint golden light suddenly appeared all over his body. Even during the day, he could see the golden light on his body clearly. This made everyone present amazed and shocked. Everyone knelt down spontaneously, bowed to Tang Monk, and shouted: "Living Bodhisattva, Living Bodhisattva, Living Bodhisattva..."
Tang Seng was helpless. This was the second time he encountered such a golden light all over his body. The first time was on the Jiangzhou dike. He saved the people of Jiangzhou and tens of thousands of refugees. At that moment, the merit value increased sharply by one million. The merit was immeasurable, which made him a big breakthrough, and all emitted an upgraded light. This time, the rewards Tang Seng received were also very generous, so this upgraded light appeared.
"Congratulations, today I have completed the 'Daily Mission of Buddhist Believers', and I have obtained a Buddha's fate value of 10,000 points, gained a reputation of 2,000, gained a merit value of 100,000, and increased 1,187 believers. The current number of believers is 1,189. The more believers you have, the higher the rewards you will receive!" The implicit meaning is that if the believers surpass the Buddha of Tathagata, you may have higher abilities than Buddha. Of course, this is just a guess, let alone how many people can you meet when Tang Seng travels the west? How many opportunities do you have to make these people your own believers?
I thought far away, but Tang Seng is in a good mood now. At least, he now has more than a thousand believers... Hey, why is the number of believers 1,189 after increasing 1,187 believers? Tang Seng thought about it, but couldn't help but laugh. With Princess Yu'an and Yu Xian'er, isn't it just that number? Tang Seng looked at his own information again:

After looking at his information, in addition to his mastery of Buddhism, Tang Seng's reputation, merit value and Buddha's fate have all risen quite quickly, and the battle index of Jade Immortal also rose from 15 points to 35 points, which shows the power of the rose thorn vine. Looking at his poor Buddhist mastery data, Tang Seng felt that he should read more Buddhist scriptures? It is indeed a bit wasteful after so many days!
