There is a green camp Temple in Pingzemen, also called Baita Temple. There is a white pagoda with a big bottom and a small bottom in the temple. It is said that it was built in the third year of Liao Shoulong (AD 1096). In the Yuan Dynasty, it was called Da Sheng Shou Wan 'an Temple, and in the first year of tomorrow Shun (A.D. 1457), it was renamed Miaoying Temple.
The Baita Temple was rebuilt several times before and after, and the last time was in the 41st year of Qing Qianlong (AD 1776).
At that time, the White Pagoda had gone through a long period of time, and there was a crack in its abdomen, which was about to crack and collapse.
The tower keeper quickly reported the situation to his boss, and the news reached the emperor. The emperor immediately panicked and said, "Nothing! The white tower needs to be repaired as soon as possible. This white tower is a "town feature" in the west of the capital. If the town is broken, it will break the' feng shui' of the capital and break the feng shui of the capital, and the country's luck will be over. Is this good? "
The emperor immediately ordered the skillful craftsman to repair the White Pagoda. But after a long time, I haven't found anyone who can hold this position.
In front of Baita Temple, there is a noodle restaurant. An old man who fills jars often comes here to eat noodles. He always keeps silent after eating, pays the money and leaves. Sometimes, a talkative person asks him, "Old man, what would you do?"
The old man smiled and said, "Hey, big guy."
"Will you keep the wine glasses?"
"No matter what kind of wine glass it is, the big one will do."
"What kind of big guy are you talking about?"
"What a big shovel."
Everyone likes to ask him this, because he likes to hear him say "big guy". Over time, the "big guy" of the elderly is almost a household name.
Now that the big white pagoda has been cracked, everyone is worried, and no one has the heart to ask the old man what to do.
On this day, everyone is talking about the cracks in the white tower of this noodle restaurant, and some say, "The cracks in the white tower will be demolished and rebuilt!" " Some said, "What a big project it is to demolish and rebuild! We might as well put it on. " Someone said, "How did such a big guy escape?" Everyone is pulling me and saying.
At this time, the old man who was mending the jar opened the curtain and came in: "Hey, buddy, cook a catty of noodles."
When everyone saw him come in, some of them said happily, "What can you do, old man?"
"Hey, big guy."
"Baita can be called a big guy, can you do it?"
Without thinking, the old man said, "Yes."
Everyone laughed when they heard it. Someone said, "If you can really keep your word, we will definitely buy you a drink."
A few days later, people found that there were really seven shiny iron hoops on the White Pagoda, and the old man disappeared after the White Pagoda was built. Everyone said that the iron ring on the White Pagoda must have been beaten by an old man, who may have been replaced by Master Lu Ban.
Miaoying Temple still stands there motionless, and the legendary iron hoop is out of sight, but there are several protruding roads on the tower belly. When people see these roads, they will think of the story of the White Pagoda.
