The body itself is manifested through fire, even if the body of the box is damaged, the relic should be fine. "

"The Buddha's bones are missing. Has the Lord inspected the Sangha of this temple?" Su Jianxing frowned, tapped his sleeve with his index finger, and looked over every inch of the pagoda.

"Finding that the Buddha's bone was missing, Pindao checked the Sangha who participated in the fire fighting, and later checked the monks who had contact with them, but they couldn't find the Buddha's bone. Pindao had no choice but to seek the permission of the Great Virtue and put it Report this to the saint."

"Then," Su Jianxing's brows tightened, and he continued, "Apart from the Buddha bones, what else is there to lose in the pagoda?"

"There are still a lot of isolated scriptures in the compartment on the top of the tower, and they have been burned to death. It is really a pity!"

While speaking, the three of them had already reached the seventh floor of the pagoda. Dian Zuo took the key and unlocked the door.The door creaked with a low sound, like an old woman, tremblingly revealing the truth inside.Although no one comes and goes on the upper floor of the pagoda, there is no trace of dust.There are slightly fewer Buddhist vessels in the pagoda than in the lower floors, but more and more scriptures.There is a pair of doors on the left and right sides, and when you open it, you will see a deep corridor, which seems to be the complex road between the towers seen from the outside.

Go up two floors and reach the top of the tower.Turning back from the corridor ladder, I suddenly saw a refined lacquer gate lying in front of me.There is a copper-gold lock with a very strange shape on the door.Unknown people said that his workmanship is exquisite, and Su Jianxing recognized it at a glance. It is the proud work of Lu Sanlang, a skilled locksmith.It is said that the lock made by this person cannot be opened by others without the key, so the world calls it "skillful hands".Su Jianxing has heard of this name for a long time, and he has personally experienced it in the investigation of the granary conspiracy with Jian Shao.The gentlemen on Liang wanted to pass by, thinking it would be a waste of effort.

Taking advantage of the monk's ability to unlock the lock, Su Jianxing looked around Zhou Za: there was no window sash on the top of the tower, only a few windows for ventilation, and because of this, the entire top of the tower looked very dark.There is an oil lamp not far away in the tower, and the lamp oil may be full or dry.The wall next to the door was slightly gray, presumably there was a door blocking it. When the fire broke out, the flames only occasionally burned around the crack of the door, and no major damage was seen.

Entering the top of the tower, it is a completely different scene.The fire burned all the buildings, and then licked the wooden frame wall. Fortunately, there was a large lacquer to block it, and the rescue was timely, so the tower was not burned down, but it was really ugly.

Two tall sea lanterns fell by the door, leaving a mess on the ground.Even the brilliance of the golden pillars has long since lost its brilliance, and there are strands of gray and black mixed with earthy yellow, standing miserably in the middle; the walls are so black that it is impossible to tell whether it is smoked by smoke or stained by charcoal ash. .

Su Jianxing looked at everything quietly, and saw the monk clasped his hands together and recited a sentence: "I am afraid that the original appearance will be destroyed by cleaning up the fire area. The poor road has not been cleaned by anyone, so it is locked as it is for inspection."

"That's very good, Ah Shang, don't worry about it." Su Jianxing nodded in return.After a moment of silence, he sighed, and then asked unintentionally: "Ah Shang, what do you think is the reason for the fire on the top of the tower?"

"The monks don't tell lies. The poor Taoist just thinks that the fire is strange. It stands to reason that it is not easy to get out of the water at this time of year, not to mention that it is on the top of the locked tower, unless someone enters. But Lord Tan also saw it just now. The locks on the outside of the door are extremely complicated, and it is almost impossible for someone to open the lock to enter. Even if someone does enter, why not steal the Buddha treasure and leave quietly, instead of setting it on fire so that everyone knows about it?"

Xie Yaozhi heard this, and subconsciously raised his eyebrows twice, as if a keen little beast smelled the scent of prey: "So, what does Ah Shang mean, this matter is not artificial?"

"It's really a coincidence that it's not artificial but it helps people!" Su Jianxing said something leisurely, and it was hard to distinguish praise or criticism for a while.Xie Yaozhi had already gotten used to Su Jianxing's tone, so he didn't care, but watched him turn his eyes to the two long-legged lamps lying beside the door. "Ah Shang, can you add oil to the lamp?"

Unexpectedly, when Su Jianxing asked such a question, the monk was taken aback for a moment, and then responded: "The Buddha treasure has its own Buddha nature, and it should be made brighter, so as not to be ignorant. The lamp oil on the tower top can be replaced at any time."

Anticipating what Su Jianxing would think of, the monk stopped for a while, and added: "Because the tower lamps are prepared with oil, and no one enters on weekdays, the management of the fire in the temple has always been very careful, and there have been no accidents."

Su Jianxing nodded slightly, then asked again: "By the way, what kind of relic does the Buddhist treasure in the temple belong to?"

"In the box/a total of 81 vermilion pearls, belonging to flesh and blood relics." The monk held the beads facing each other and said aloud.

"Is it possible to find the Sangha who read scriptures at the bottom of the pagoda that night?"

"can."

Su Jianxing raised the corner of his mouth: "Please, sir, please ask the Sangha who put out the fire that day to come and wait at the bottom of the pagoda. Xie Sanniang and I will go to other places in the pagoda to have a look."

"It won't take long to summon the monks. Lord Tan came here for the first time, so it's better for the poor Taoist to lead the way for Lord Tan."

"Don't worry about it. It's already uneasy to disturb the Samana's practice. You don't need to accompany me. You can just let us walk around and look around casually. It's quite comfortable." Xie Yaozhi knew that Su Jianxing was always lazy, and he was busy. Let me fill in the words.

The monk waited for a while, seeing that the two were determined, he turned the beads in his hands, but did not insist anymore: "Master Tanyue, the poor Taoist will go first."

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

As soon as the monk left, Su Jianxing made Xie Yaozhi close the door with a wink.The flickering candlelight flickers on the top of the burnt tower, making it even more lonely and eerie. "Ah Xie, what do you think of this matter?"

The glances flow and return to peace.Xie Yaozhi put away the slightly fake romanticism, his lacquer-like eyes gradually deepened, and his gaze was slightly sharp: "Bhikkhu Dianzuo is right, this fire started strangely. First of all, the season is wrong. If it is said that it is autumn and winter At the moment, the sky is dry and things are dry, so it is not uncommon to see water. But the summer heat is not over yet, and the water vapor is still heavy, if it is not for the improper use of candlelight, it should not be like this." Said, he casually picked up a long leg lamp by the door, Shaking left and right.Although the oil lamp is thin and tall, it stands firmly.Xie Yaozhi looked up at Su Jianxing, and they knew each other already.

"If it's the disaster of candles, it's the second situation. But there's never been anyone on the top of the tower, and the management of candles is strict, so it's not very likely. Third, although there are wooden frames and classics in the tower for Burning, but lacquer and Beidoluo are very resistant to fire, if it is not too late to fight the fire, it should not be so serious. Although this point is difficult to prove, it cannot be said to be beyond doubt." Xie Yaozhi pursed his lips slightly, his eyes A swing, "The fire started strangely, but what is even more strange is the disappearance of the relic—you said, was the relic lost before or after the fire?"

"Are you playing tricks on me?" Seeing through Xie Yaozhi's little thought, Su Jianxing smiled and walked slowly closer, "If the Buddha treasure was lost in the fire, Dianzuo searched all the fire-fighting Sangha on the spot, why not? It is said that the Buddha treasure was lost in front of the fire, as the Dian Zuo said, since this person can quietly take away the Buddha bone, why not just disappear? From this point of view, no matter what kind of situation, it seems to be unreasonable."

His thoughts were easily revealed in this way, Xie Yaozhi couldn't help feeling disappointed, and lowered his head in frustration, but still insisted: "I believe that existence is reasonable. This fire must be related to the disappearance of Buddha Treasure—it's not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

"But don't forget that there are four locks in total on the main tower, the second tower and the three towers attached. The two bottoms of the side towers and one on the seventh floor of the main tower form the first barrier, and there are more locks on the top floor. The second barrier to crack. As we have seen just now, the upper window sash of the pagoda is extremely small, and there is no movable window on the top of the pagoda. It is impossible to enter through the window. If someone is good at stealing and unlocking, even if he can open Lu Sanlang's lock, what about the bottom of the pagoda? All the monks read Buddhist scriptures in the main pagoda, so close to each other, it is not easy to sneak in. How do you explain this?" Su Jianxing walked around along the wall In a circle, his eyes quietly turned to the face as bright as glass in front of him.

—Are you taking revenge?Xie Yaozhi was speechless immediately, and could only stare blankly in his heart.But seeing Su Jianxing smiled lightly, and continued: "But I don't believe that there are ghosts and ghosts for no reason in this world. Everything is nothing but cause and effect, and there are traces to follow."

"After talking for a long time, don't you not know? The work entrusted to us by Jian Shilang is really unbearable!" Xie Yaozhi rubbed his temples, feeling a headache.

"Okay, don't complain, it's the right thing to do if you have the time to work." While speaking, Su Jianxing had already inspected the pagoda and turned to the golden pillar in the middle.

The golden pillar is connected to the lower floor and runs through the whole tower. A lotus-shaped lattice is supported on the top of the pillar.If you ignore the misty color in front of you at this moment and the thick wax flower on the base of the pillar, this golden pillar is absolutely exquisite.Su Jianxing stared at the golden pillar for a long time before reaching out to touch it.The small grid is movable and can be rotated left and right, just like a mechanism with a snap button.After twisting a few times along the direction, the inside of the tower did not change at all as the gold pillar stopped as expected.

Seeing Su Jianxing's strange behavior, Xie Yaozhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that he looked at the four walls with tacit understanding.After a while, he stopped in front of a fan rack and began to look carefully like counting family trees.Su Jianxing was not in a hurry, he simply put his hands in and watched Xie Yaozhi compete with the pile of wooden frames as if watching a play.Xie Yaozhi is clever and clever, and dealing with mechanism locks and keys has always been her specialty, but it's a pity that Su Jianxing has a seven-aperture exquisite heart, but he has no idea about this.

"What am I supposed to be, it's worth the trouble!" After a while, Xie Yaozhi raised the corners of his mouth, "These roll holders are living fans, which are ordinary compartment devices, but they are exquisitely made. "While Yaozhi said, he shrugged his shoulders, quite annoyed, "It's nothing, it's just a coincidence.
