Chapter 53 Master, take care(1/2)
Under the guidance of the monk guarding the gate, Xu Qi'an walked through the front yard and came to the inner yard.
The young monk stopped in the courtyard, clasped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Hengyuan, please wait here for a moment. I will inform Senior Uncle Jingchen."
Xu Qi'an performed Buddhist rituals and responded: "Thank you, junior brother."
Watching the young monk enter a certain room, Xu Qian thought about the people on the list.
The total number of people in this mission to the Western Regions is twenty-one.
The postman has to arrange rooms for the mission. The rooms in the post are divided into grades. The senior monks will naturally live in the best rooms. It is impossible for a young novice to live in the presidential suite, while the leading monk lives in a single room without windows.
Therefore, the postmen had a clear understanding of the mission's character status.
The senior one is naturally the leader of this mission, "Master Du'e", but the postman doesn't know what his cultivation level is.
There are two people behind them, namely "Jingchen" and "Jingsi". Judging from their names, these two should be brothers.
As for other monks, their status is similar.
"One is called 'Jingcheng' and the other is called 'Myopia'. The names of these brothers are really interesting."
Just as he was thinking about it, the young monk came out and asked Xu Qi'an to come in.
He followed the young monk into the room. Sandalwood was burning in the room. A monk with a round face and fat earlobes sat cross-legged and looked at the door with a smile.
This monk has a restrained aura and looks like an ordinary person.
"Senior Brother Jingchen." Xu Qian put his hands together.
"Junior brother Hengyuan." The middle-aged monk returned the greeting.
He immediately arranged for a young monk to serve tea, and after Xu Qi'an took a sip, he said, "Senior Brother Panshu just returned to the temple."
He wanted to say that the monks of Qinglong Temple had just received the news of the mission's arrival in Beijing... Master Pan Shu had just returned to Qinglong Temple and would not let the monks from the temple come over without special reasons.
Nao Nao...Xu Qi'an thought of many possibilities in an instant, knowing that this was a test by the other party.
He had already prepared a plan for this, and said unhurriedly: "The poor monk has been away from the temple for many years."
Monk Jingchen smiled and said, "Junior brother Hengyuan, what's the matter with you?"
His voice seemed to have a strange magical power, making Xu Qi'an instinctively resist lying and just wanted to explain his purpose clearly.
Fifth grade herrist?
Xu Qian's heart trembled.
The master Panshu of Qinglong Temple is also in the fifth level. Monks in this realm are like moving "rules". They will actively or unconsciously affect the people around them.
Monks do not lie, forbid sexual intercourse with women, forbid killing, etc... Whatever precepts the Master has observed, people around him will also obey them unconsciously.
Xu Qi'an has never seen the Herrscher fight, but when he went to Qinglong Temple to investigate the Sangbo case, he specifically read information about Buddhist masters.
The combat effectiveness of the Lawyer comes from "precepts", which is a bit like the Confucianism of following the rules, but not as rogue as Confucianism.
To explain it in a popular way, Confucianists say: Xu Qi'an's Diao Chan is on his waist! This is achievable, although the consequences will be huge.
However, Buddhist lawyers are extremely restricted and cannot do whatever they want. They can only say: Xu Qian, smoke in reverse and compete with the gods.
Apart from Xu Qi'an's mouth being burned with a blister, there are basically no sequelae.
The Confucian way of speaking is to change the rules, while the lawyer is to make people follow the rules. In fact, the essence is completely opposite.
Xu Qi'an clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name: "Senior brother and all of you arrived in Beijing for the sake of the sealed artifact that escaped the Sangbo case?"
These words are like a huge stone falling into the lake.
Jingchen narrowed his eyes and remained calm on the surface. Instead, he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Panshu said that?"
Before Monk Panshu returned to Qinglong Temple, Uncle Du'e gave repeated orders not to leak the existence of the sealed object to anyone, including the monks of Qinglong Temple.
Master Jingchen set a trap for Xu Qian.
Xu Qi'an shook his head and sighed: "It's not what Master said. To be honest, the poor monk was also involved in the Sangbo case..."
There seemed to be a golden divine light flashing through Jingchen's warm and peaceful eyes.
"The poor monk has a junior brother named Heng Hui. We grew up together since childhood and have a close relationship. More than a year ago, Heng Hui suddenly disappeared and stole an aura-shielding spell from the temple. I tried my best to
After investigation, it was found that he was suspected of being abducted by a tooth organization..."
Xu Qi showed a sad look, as if he was in unbearable grief. He could only recite the Buddha's name to relieve his emotions: "Amitabha."
Jingchen was listening intently, and when he saw Junior Brother Hengyuan looking like this, his heart moved: "Is there any hidden secret behind this case?"
"Yes, Junior Brother Henghui fell in love with a female pilgrim, and they were secretly engaged for the rest of their lives. Therefore, they stole the magic weapon from Qinglong Temple and flew away."
Jingchen frowned, and many doubts flashed through him, "Even if you elope, you don't have to steal the magic weapon, right?"
Xu Hengyuan sighed: "That female pilgrim is the legitimate daughter of King Yu, who is your Majesty's younger brother and a dignified prince. Without the magic weapon that can shield the breath, they can't leave the capital."
This......Master Jingchen was speechless for a moment and couldn't find the words.
Later, Xu Qian roughly told how two young men and women who were inexperienced in the world were deceived, how they were passively involved in party struggles, and how they died unexpectedly.
"Amitabha!"
Master Jingchen put his hands together, showed compassion on his face, and chanted the name of the Buddha.
After a few seconds of silence, he said, "But what does this matter have to do with the Sangbo case?"
Good question! Xu Qian smiled inwardly and said without changing her expression: "This case has twists and turns, and it is far from being as simple as it seems... At the end of last year, the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple in the royal palace,
Suddenly it was destroyed by the explosion, and the evil thing sealed under Sangbo emerged.
"Emperor Dafeng was furious and ordered the Third Division to conduct a strict investigation. The reason why the poor monk was involved was because the evil thing was parasitic in Junior Brother Henghui's body."
"What?!"
Master Jingchen suddenly changed his color and asked eagerly: "Where is the evil thing now? Is Henghui still dead? How did Dafeng handle this matter? Didn't Jian Zheng take action? Or has the evil thing been re-sealed by Jian Zheng?"
He asked many questions in succession, but the eminent monk's indifferent demeanor disappeared.
"Senior Brother Jingchen, don't be impatient, let me explain slowly..."
Xu Qi'an analyzed the Sangbo case and the Princess Pingyang case in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and told Monk Jingchen about the relationship between the two cases and the secrets behind them.
Monk Jingchen didn't speak for a long time. He seemed to be shocked by the interlocking and complicated cases.
Even Pan Shu, the host, didn't know these inside stories. He just came from the west to tell the Buddhist monks about the birth of Sang Bo's sealed object.
The uncle went to the palace to meet the saint and learned the whole story. Unexpectedly, I, who stayed behind at the inn, learned the whole process first... Monk Jingchen sighed:
"This case is indeed full of twists and turns, and the people who can solve it are even more powerful. How does Junior Brother Hengyuan know such details?"
Xu Qi'an knew that this was a question that Monk Jingchen would definitely raise. He did not panic at all, forcing himself to fight against the instinct of "not lying" and answered:
"Although the case was sponsored by the Third Division, the person who really discovered the Sangbo case and the Pingyang Princess case was a silver gong from the watchman's office named Xu Qian. The poor monk had a close relationship with Mr.
Junior brother was involved in it, and only then did he know clearly."
Yinluo Xu Qi'an... Monk Jingchen wrote down this name and quickly asked: "Who is Yinluo named Xu? Junior brother Hengyuan, please tell me in detail."
"well!"
Xu Hengyuan did not speak, but sighed.
"Junior brother, this is..."
"When the poor monk thinks of this person, he feels filled with emotion."
"Oh? What do you mean by that?"
Xu Hengyuan said slowly: "Senior brother, I don't know that Xu Qian is the most amazing and talented person that this poor monk has ever seen in his life. In terms of cultivation, he is so talented that no one in the entire Dafa can compare with him.
,rare.
“As an official, he was determined not to take advantage of the people, and took it as his own duty to uphold justice.
“When it comes to solving crimes, Dafeng is a master, but he is not as good as a finger.
"In terms of poetry, he is known as the number one poet in Dafeng for two hundred years. It is said that the courtesans and courtesans loved him to death, but he ignored them."
Monk Jingchen was shocked. He didn't expect such a person to exist in the capital.
"There really are such people in the world. It would be a pity not to join our Buddhist sect." A sharp light flashed in Monk Jingchen's eyes.
....... Damn it, you are so awesome. This grandson wants to "save" me into Buddhism? Then what use do I need this iron rod?
Xu Qian was wary and calmly changed the subject, saying: "I came to see my senior brother this time because I wanted to ask what the evil thing under Sangbo is.
"The poor monk knows that this thing is related to Buddhism, but he doesn't understand why he suppressed Sangbo in Dafeng?"
"This..." Monk Jingchen looked confused.
"Senior brother, what's the secret?" Xu Hengyuan asked proactively.
"This matter is a secret of Buddhism. Junior brother, it is better not to ask any more questions." Jingchen said.
"Ah!"
Xu Hengyuan sneered and said: "I understand, I regard our sect in the Western Regions as one of my own, but I didn't expect that in the eyes of our fellow disciples, I am just an outsider.
"Come on, this poor monk is being sentimental. Leave now, this poor monk. Western Region Buddhism is Western Region Buddhism, and Qinglong Temple is Qinglong Temple. They are different."
As he said that, he got up and walked around.
"stop!"
Jingchen stopped and said with a sullen look on his face: "You and I are all disciples of Buddhism. We worship the Buddha and we are one family. What junior brother said just now is really heartbreaking. Don't say it again in the future."
There's something wrong...Xu Hengyuan looked at him expressionlessly and snorted coldly.
This time he used the Buddhist lion's roar, letting the hum echo in the room.
The monk's temper has always been so irritable... Jingchen sighed inwardly and said, "Disciple, please sit down, and I will tell you what I know."
Qinglong Temple is the only remaining spark of Buddhism in the Western Regions in Dafeng. If Buddhism in the Western Regions still wants to continue preaching in the Central Plains, Qinglong Temple is an irreplaceable force.
Against this background, Western Buddhism attaches great importance to the "family" relationship with Qinglong Temple, and any rifts and cracks must be eliminated and avoided.
"That evil thing is indeed related to our Buddhist sect. I heard Uncle Du'e say that it is a Buddhist traitor."
