Quotation

Walking up the steps, the candle light diffused in the silence with the uncertain voice: "What if this 'he' does not refer to only one person?"

"Maybe you're right." It was pitch black all around, and the dim light of a little candle could not resist the unpredictable darkness before and after, "Zhuo Ru, I feel uneasy, you see this case as ordinary, but when you get closer Now, I’m about to unravel the cocoon a little bit, but I find that the mystery is getting more and more solved, as if—” Xie Yaozhi stopped suddenly, and reached out into the thick shadow in front of him, “You never know how deep it is.”

There was a moment of silence.

People are afraid of the darkness, not because the darkness itself is scary, but because people can't see it when walking in it.

All the way to the top of the tower in silence, Xie Yaozhi lowered his eyes for a moment, and whispered softly: "You said, where is the Buddha treasure now?"

"What if I say that the Buddha treasure is not lost at all?" Su Jianxing smiled slightly, under the dim light, the brightness was unpredictable. "You were right at the time. No matter who this person is, it is difficult and dangerous to take the Buddha treasure with him. It is better to stay and come back to get it after the wind blows." He opened the hidden tower door and walked straight into it.

"You mean, the Buddhist treasures are hidden on the top of this pagoda?" Xie Yaozhi was startled, and looked around, "Although the relics are small and easy to hide, the 81 relics can't be hidden in any corner."

Before the words fell, Su Jianxing had already bent over and squatted under the golden pillar: "The so-called blindness to Mount Tai is actually ignored by us - since this person can think of hiding phosphor powder under the lamp oil, it is not difficult to think of it." Hide the sarira in the wax flower." Su Jianxing said, with his fine fingers, he buckled a piece from the large wax flower and moved it closer to the lamp.The dark red wax flower was gradually melted by the warmth of the fire, and Su Jianxing did not wait for it to be purified, so he directly removed the wax shell with his hands.Sure enough, for a moment, the blood-red and radiant Zhuji revealed its true face little by little.

Looking at the thick wax marks under the golden pillar, Xie Yaozhi suddenly felt like he was being tricked.Yes, Buddhist temples are full of wax, and it is normal for the wax to overflow and condense after the fire. I am used to seeing things in my daily life, so who cares most about whether there is something hidden in it?If you don't clean up, it will be like that, even if you clean up the fire, you will unintentionally remove the wax flower and the relics wrapped in it, which is also in the hands of the person!

The two didn't wait too long, each tore off a piece of fabric from the hem, and then approached the wax mark with a fire.The wax melted and the pearls appeared, and after a little inventory, it was exactly the number of ninety-nine, no more, no less.

"Great, Buddha treasure was found, we—"

Xie Yaozhi was happy in his heart, but before he finished speaking, he was choked by Su Jian's next sentence: "Take it back to Jian Shilang, we have closed the case."

"Close the case?" Xie Yaozhi looked at Su Jianxing in disbelief, as if to make sure that he just heard it wrong.

"Yes, close the case." President Su Jian breathed a sigh of relief, "We were ordered to track down the whereabouts of the Buddha treasure. If the Buddha treasure has been recovered, our task is completed, and if we don't close the case and return to order, what are we waiting for?"

"But who did this case? Why did the pagoda install such a weird side door? How did the perpetrator know this secret? Why did the perpetrator hide the truth from us? Why did the perpetrator not arrange it on the top of the pagoda?" Discovered? What is his purpose in stealing the Buddha treasure?"

"Axie!" Su Jianxing seemed to be unable to bear to stop her from asking, his eyes fluctuating, "Since you said so, then I also ask you: From the side tower to the middle of the main tower, this seemingly airtight passage can actually pass through itself. What is the space for? Dian Zuo concealed the secret of the pagoda, just to ensure that this space is not known, but why is this so important, so that he would rather bear the crime of losing the Buddha treasure due to ineffective care? This space The monks never cleaned it, but still kept it clean, which means that people often come here. When we first visited Luming Temple, Dianzuo said that the purpose of building flying bridges between the towers is to facilitate communication, but this is different from the towers we saw later. The situation of the lock is contradictory. I think the former is actually the truth. So who are the people who come and go in the side tower? We have seen the layout of the side tower, and the Buddha smell is weak. I am afraid that these people are not from Buddhism, so what are they doing? Buddhist temples usually have a separate scripture library, why do they lock the scriptures and Buddhist treasures together here? And why are these scriptures not even known to the Sangha of the temple? In other words, the exquisite nine-link Is the lock really just to prevent the theft of Buddhist treasures? The monk said that the top of the pagoda is full of leaf books, but the ashes I got from the living fan are fine paper scraps. What is hidden on the top of the pagoda? Up and down the pagoda The Dianzuo has been taking care of it all the time, but the great virtue who is the head of the temple has never been near the stupa, even since we investigated the whereabouts of the Buddha treasure, we have not even seen his face, is this normal?"

Su Jianxing stared at Xie Yaozhi silently for a while before continuing to speak: "Ah Xie, it's not that I don't want to know, but that we can't go any further—when I first visited Luming Temple, I always felt that something made me uneasy. But I can’t say it, now I remember it.” Su Jianxing said, took the scythe, went straight to the outside of the corridor, polished a wall lamp, pulled out the bracket, took off the oil bowl of the wall lamp and put it in it, everything was done skillfully Naturally, "As you know, I, Longchiwei, pay attention to concealment. I usually bring my own lights for lighting when I travel. As for setting up wall lamps, it's just to conceal people's eyes and eyes, and to provide oil supplements for people walking." Su Jianxing paused, " That day, like this, I used it very well."

"Are they also—" Xie Yaozhi was startled and covered his mouth in panic.

The pagoda was completely silent, only the sound of the rainstorm pouring down outside the pagoda diffused invisibly...

([-]) Asking about cause and effect · Part [-]

After a night of thunder and lightning, after Xia Qi vented his last remaining power, it finally became a fire in July, sinking into the flat sky like a mirror.Except for the obvious remaining water marks on the street, everything is as peaceful as if it just woke up, as if nothing had happened.

Su Jianxing stared at the ray of cloud in the high sky, and inadvertently brought out some indescribable emotions in his eyes: I hope everything will pass like the torrential rain last night!

The rain last night was really heavy, and Su Mu and the others didn't bring rain gear for the convenience of walking, so when they came out of Luming Temple, they were inevitably drenched.The two of them were embarrassed to go back to find Jian Shao, so they turned into an inn nearby, dropped some money, and replaced it by themselves. Seeing that it was raining outside, they simply decided to stay outside for a night. .

"Asu, are you sure that Shilang Jian will not hold us accountable for going out without permission?" Xie Yaozhi glanced at the hilltop where he was stationed, and still couldn't help feeling anxious.

——I didn't see you so worried last night when you refused to leave after being beaten to death.Su Jianxing couldn't help but slander him. Of course, Xie Yaozhi didn't dare to let her know that the reason why he was so relieved was that she was sure that she would be able to come up with a countermeasure.Su Jianxing kept walking, and said: "The first article of the Longchiwei Regulations."

——Orders come first, and anyone who contradicts them is void.Xie Yaozhi recited it silently, then looked at Su Jianxing half understanding: "You mean—"

"In order to find the Buddha's bone, we visited Luming Temple at night, focusing on the task. We followed the first regulations of Longchiwei, and the Buddha's treasure has also been found. What is the crime?"

Fox, this is definitely a fox that has become a spirit!Xie Yaozhi stared at Su Jianxing's back as he went away, admiring angrily: what regulations, what rules, restrain those obedient children who are strict with etiquette, and look at these "converting black and white", living comfortably!

In fact, the plan of the two of them was useless at all. The station was as usual, quiet and busy, and there were many people and few people like air—this was the best thing, and the only thing that was a little surprising , even after learning that Jian Shao had disappeared.

"Guo Fushilang, do you know when Jianshilang will come back?" Although it is commonplace for a person to disappear inexplicably in Longchiwei, Xie Yaozhi still couldn't help asking this nonsense, not out of concern He briefly introduced, but this Buddhist treasure is really hot in the hand, so I should hand it in quickly, and I will be free sooner——Although Xie Yaozhi is still worried about the unclear case, he is not ignorant of current affairs— ——Being in Longchiwei, what is needed is not admonishing ministers to argue with reason, but to behave wisely and protect oneself.

"I don't know either. There is no explicit order from above. As for other things, I shouldn't be curious." The so-called deputy envoy of Long Chiwei is called envoy in his name, but in fact he is completely incomparable with envoy.The envoy is actually in charge of the entire lower department, while the deputy envoy is only in charge of uploading and issuing documents and managing documents on weekdays, and has no right to manage people.This back and forth, originally intended to restrain the envoy, but gradually turned into a consultant.

Su Jianxing frowned calmly: "That's all, thank you Guo Shilang."

As soon as he bowed his hands, he was about to leave, but he heard a voice behind him chasing him: "By the way, someone came from above at dawn today, looking for the person responsible for the disappearance of the Buddhist treasure in Luming Temple."

"It's the two of us." Su Jianxing stood still, "I wonder what orders Shangfeng has?"

"I just said that the pagoda of Luming Temple was struck by lightning. Since you are not here, you didn't say anything else. Maybe the top will come again."

"I know, there is a laborer." Su Jianxing responded lightly, and wanted to leave, but he stopped at the same place after all, "Guo Shilang, my subordinates boldly ask, what kind of mechanism is my Longchi Weizhong?"

After a moment of silence, the voice sounded calmly: "Long Chiwei is directly under the current emperor, and a chief envoy will be appointed to govern Long Chiwei.
