([-]) Garan Deep Secret Treasure Part [-]

The flowing clouds are clear and shallow, and they sink into the depths of the mountains in a blink of an eye.

The bell of the ancient temple rang, startling a flock of evening crows, which flew into the rosy clouds of the sky.

Su Jianxing raised his eyes and saw that among the pine trees, the ancient temple was gathered in a piece of broken gold, solemn and solemn. "This is the Luming Temple?" Xie Yaozhi habitually looked at the temple in front of him, then turned to look at his companion in men's attire in a green shirt and belt, and high boots.He nodded slightly as an answer.

Luming Temple is located in Luming Mountain, ten miles northwest of the Eastern Capital. It was built by Emperor Wencheng of the Yuan Wei Dynasty.In the past, the sage moved to Luoyang. In his dream, he saw a white deer carrying five colored stones to present treasures in front of him. Fortunately, Luming Temple was funded and repaired, and it was regarded as a royal temple.

The ancient temple in the deep mountain is extremely far away, but Su Jianxing and Xie Yaozhi came here under orders, but they have no devotion to attend Zen and worship Buddha.At that time, the heroine was suspicious, so she set up four guards of Longchi outside the twelve guards of the four mansions. They only obeyed the secret order of everyone, and they were uncertain about coming in and out.Su Jianxing and Xie Yaozhi are the two insignificant characters at the end of this system.

Longchiwei Zhen Mingtai reported a few days ago that the pagoda of Luming Temple was flooded, and after the fire was extinguished, the Buddhist bone relics, the treasure of the temple, disappeared.Tai Lang handed over the matter to his subordinate Jian Department for investigation.Coincidentally, the emissary Lang Jianshao had other important tasks, so he fell into the hands of Su and Xie again.Su Jianxing and Xie Yaozhi are still inexperienced, and usually only learn from Jian Shao to find out how to deal with it, but this is the first time they have taken on the task.

Changxia is hot and humid, and seemed to sense the dullness in the air. Xie Yaozhi exhaled a long breath, looked back and smiled sweetly: "Asumo has to worry, even if we can't find out about this matter, there is always Jian Shilang!"

A few birds flew up in response to the sound, disturbing the pine trees.The bright eyes turned suddenly, as if a warm wind had passed by, shattering the thin ice on the water surface, and a pool of spring water sparkled.Su Jianxing chuckled, and pretended to be annoyed: "You still want Emissary Jian to clean up the mess for you? Axie, Axie, thank you for being able to speak!" Su Jianxing shook his head as he spoke, his expression gradually softening, "Axie, Long Chimi Wei Shangxia is far more dangerous than what we can see and imagine. The reason why we don't feel anything now is because we are still under the shelter of Jian Shilang. However, these wind and rain will still come sooner or later. We faced it ourselves."

Xie Yaozhi's expression darkened when he heard the words, he didn't know what happened to Long Chiwei, and it wasn't that he didn't understand.Although Long Chiwei is close to a sage, he is self-sufficient, but he is also easy to touch the scales, not to mention that the world hates him, and he fights among himself.It's just that I don't want to be clear, let alone understand.Like a wayward child who stubbornly refuses to grow up.After being absent-minded for a moment, when he looked up again, Su Jianxing had already knocked on the gilt-bronze shop head on the gate of the mountain temple.

After a short while, a well-known monk opened the mountain gate and saluted with palms together: "Lord Dana, the temple is at the time of Xia Anju, and visitors are not allowed."

Su Jianxing bowed slightly, made a cross-hand salute, and showed no intention of retreating: "I'm here for the treasure of Buddha, to see the great virtue."

The Bhikkhu Zhike didn't refuse any more, he made a gesture of palms again, bowed and retreated into the monastery.

After a while, there was a sound of hurried steps coming from inside the door, and a monk wearing a slanted cassock came out to meet him.Monk Shi said: "Poverty Road is the seat of this temple. Since Lord Tan said that it is the treasure of Buddha, I don't know if there is any trust?"

"Ah Shang Wanblessing, but you can rely on your waist card." Su Jianxing said politely, hearing him speak like this, he thought to himself that he must have already heard the news.Therefore, he handed over the waist card and said without much words: "Ah, please lead the way."

"Please, Lord Tan." The monk stretched out his right hand, stopped at the end of the salute, and led the way ahead.

The pagoda is located in front of the main hall.The one in the middle is towering and precarious, soaring straight to the sky, like a crane chirping in the sky.The attached towers on both sides are slightly shorter, and are connected with the main tower by complex roads. From a distance, it looks like stars supporting the moon, or like dragons and phoenixes.The surrounding cypresses are straight and loose, lush and lush; the sound of sandalwood and Buddha has a lingering aftertaste.

Su Jianxing walked slowly, looked around Zhou Za, focused his eyes on the tower in front of him again, and stopped: "Where are the Buddha's bones hidden in the tower on weekdays?"

The Buddhist beads were turned around in the hands, and the monk responded calmly, like calm water in an ancient well: "It's on the top floor of the main tower."

"No guards?" Hearing this, Xie Yaozhi thought of something in a trance, quickly glanced at the surrounding terrain, and blurted out.Although Luming Temple was built in the mountains, the main tower of the main hall is flat and open. Although the surrounding vegetation is lush, it does not obstruct the line of sight.Xie Yaozhi subconsciously calculated in his mind that with such an open layout, it would be difficult for outsiders to approach if he wanted to set up a few guards in the temple like ordinary wealthy families.

The monk shook his head when he heard the question, and replied calmly: "There are no guards, but there will be a few monks guarding the main tower at night. In addition to the top floor of the tower, there are Buddha bones and some isolated copies. The Buddhist scriptures on the other floors can be taken at will. At night, Jali Shami gathers at night on the ground floor to read the scriptures, and there is always nothing wrong."

Su Jianxing listened to the monk's answer, his eyes wandered in mid-air, as if in meditation.After a while, Fang asked again: "Are these Taos interlinked?"

"That's right. At the beginning of the tower's construction, the complex road was set up for the convenience of travel."

Su Jianxing didn't wait for him to catch his breath, and then asked: "So, if all the monks read scriptures under the pagoda at night, even if someone enters the top of the main pagoda from the side pagodas along the double road, they won't know?" Looking in the direction, the complex road between the towers is erected at a high place, already approaching the top of the main tower.

Comprehending what Su Jianxing meant, the monk smiled slightly, and then explained: "Master Tan, please listen to the poor man's words. This attached tower is used to store ritual vessels. There are few people going in and out on weekdays, so it is simply locked. The main tower The lower floor is often visited by sandalwood masters, and there are scriptures and Buddhist niches, so it is not locked. But the Zifu Road is also locked from the lower floor to the upper floor, and the top floor is locked separately.

After the monk finished speaking, he looked back, and was facing Su Jianxing's deep eyes.Su Jianxing didn't speak, but just watched silently, his brows and eyes were indifferent, but like a polished mirror, he could see all the flesh and blood under the surface. "Oh, there are two keys leading to the top of the pagoda. One is kept by the abbot, and the other is here in Pindao. That night, a monk found that there was water leaking from the top of the pagoda, so he opened the lock to put out the fire. After the fire was extinguished, the Buddha's bones disappeared. Gone."

Su Jianxing looked back calmly, and slightly opened the hem of his robe: "Ah, please lead us to the top of the pagoda."

The monk's palms were slightly closed, and the beads collided, making a slight sound: "Please, Lord Tan."

The interior of the pagoda is solemn and simple, which complements the dignified and ethereal exterior.If you say that before entering the pagoda, you should praise the double-story arched moon as the magic touch of Luming Mountain, then stepping into the pagoda, you will understand that this pagoda is the essence of Luming Temple.

At the bottom of the pagoda is a four-faced golden Buddha. The sea lantern in front of the Buddha is shining brightly, and everything is surrounded by this merciful Buddha light.Surrounding the Buddha statue are futons. It is not difficult to imagine how pious it would be if the Buddhist lamps are lit every night and a group of monks sit in front of the Buddha statue, meditating in Zen or reading scriptures.

There is no wall in the tower, and around the body of the tower is a circle of sandalwood ring frame, which is a large niche for Buddha, and scriptures are placed in a small place, which are different in size and well arranged.Xie Yaozhi glanced at it casually, but saw a Sanskrit leaf book with some incomprehensible characters written all over it. He thought it would be useless to read more, so he followed Su Jianxing around, and then climbed up the upper floor along the spiral ladder.

The layout of the upper floor of the pagoda is basically the same as that of the bottom of the pagoda, but it is slightly smaller than that of the bottom. Instead of the Buddha, there are gold pillars running through the top and bottom. appearance.

There are thirteen layers of pagodas up and down. Su Jianxing thought it would take a lot of time to look at it, so he said, "Ah, let's talk about the situation at that time."

The monk nodded: "The incident happened after the time of Hai last night. According to the regulations of the temple, the lamps of the recluses elsewhere have been turned off to rest. In the pagoda, as usual, more than ten recluses were left watching the night to read the scriptures. I didn't feel any difference from usual. About three quarters One of the young monks came back from the east and saw the top of the pagoda glowing red from a distance, only then did he realize that the pagoda was flooded and called people to put out the fire."

"Didn't it mean that there is a lock on the upper level of the pagoda? How can these monks put out the fire without the key?" Xie Yaozhi's eyes fluttered, and he couldn't help asking.

"It is true that the pagoda above the seventh floor is not accessible. It was because the deacon Fahong found the poor Taoist priests that the monks were able to enter to fight the fire." Dianzuo explained, "Maybe it was too much time spent waiting for the monks to enter. At the top of the pagoda, the fire was already very strong. At that time, we were busy fighting the fire, and the scene was chaotic. After the fire was extinguished and the losses were counted, we found that the treasure of the temple, the Buddha bone relic, had disappeared.”

"Could it be that the relics have been damaged in the fire? Or that the firefighting work is not lost, so I can't find it for a while?" Xie Yaozhi took a sneak peek at Su Jianxing, but seeing his face sinking like water, the monk's words were like a river It merged into Wang Yang without causing any waves.He could only sigh in his heart, he secretly had to ask such a shameful question by himself.

As if in response to what Xie Yaozhi was thinking, the monk smiled and said, "Master Sandalwood laughed, how could the sacred relics of the Buddha's bone be placed casually? The golden pillar on the top of this tower is as high as shoulders, and there is a hollowed out golden lattice on it , the Buddha bone is placed in a glass chiseled gold agarwood box and placed in a small compartment. No matter how careless you are when fighting a fire, the Buddha bone will not be lost. Not to mention the relic
