Volume Two: The Case of the Red Lotus in the Ancient Temple Chapter 32: The Lady of the Red Lotus
"The Holy Mother of Red Lotus?" Duan Ming closed the book in front of him and said with interest: "Have you really seen it?"
According to legend, the red lotus karma fire is the fierce fire from hell, specially used to burn all the filth and distracting thoughts in the world, and the person in charge of the red lotus karma fire is the Red Lotus Virgin Mother.
According to legend, the empress was wearing a red wedding dress, a lotus-like mask on her face, and a pair of magical blood-red eyes.
These eyes are directly connected to hell. Anyone who takes one look at them will be instantly burned to death by the red lotus fire.
"That day was the Buddha's Day, and the young monk remembered it very clearly." Jingfa recalled: "The young monk and others had a busy day that day, so according to custom, at night, the young monk and others returned to the wing to rest early..."
According to Jingfa, on July 20th, the sky was covered with dark clouds that night, and it seemed like it might rain at any time.
Thick clouds covered most of the moon, and only a small amount of moonlight could break through the clouds and slowly shine out from the clouds.
The entire temple looked particularly quiet under the sparse moonlight.
Jingfa had been busy all day and was exhausted. But when he returned to his room and planned to rest, there was a sudden sound. The window of the Main Hall was not closed.
Leaving the windows open is not a big deal in itself, but Jingfa is responsible for the cleaning work of the Main Hall, and looking at the clouds in the sky, there may be heavy rain at night.
Once it rains and water accumulates in the Main Hall, it will be really troublesome to clean it up.
Therefore, Jingfa had no choice but to return to the Main Hall again, close the windows one by one, and then go back to rest.
According to Jingfa, when he returned to the Main Hall, it should be around the time of Xu.
But just as Jingfa closed the window and rushed towards the wing, he saw a faint red figure near the Main Hall.
At that time, Jingfa thought it was because he was dazzled, but now that he thinks about it, it is extremely strange.
You must know that the Buddha Festival is different from the past. On this day, no pilgrims are allowed to live in the Brahma Temple, so there should be no outsiders in the temple except those from the Brahma Temple.
And the temple is full of monks. Who among the monks would prepare red clothes? Go out so late at night?
"So, that one must be the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus!" Jingfa said: "Amitabha, the Buddha has blessed the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus not to see the young monk, otherwise I am afraid that the young monk will be burned to ashes like the main hall."
"Xu Shi?" Duan Ming thought for a moment: "But why didn't you tell me when the Mirror Division asked before?"
"This..." Jingfa hesitated for a moment, and then said to Duan Ming: "After all, this matter is too bizarre, and the monk cannot confirm it. If it is nonsense, it is lies. Even until now, the monk can only tell what he sees and what he thinks.
Donor, as to whether this matter is true or false, it is up to the benefactor and the Mirror to judge for themselves."
"Oh." Duan Ming nodded, staring at Jingfa closely, and then suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, this news is very important. Thank you, the eminent monk, for your guidance."
"Amitabha, I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it!" Jingfa said hurriedly: "Since the matter has been said, the young monk has nothing else to do, so I will leave first and not disturb the donor's rest."
Then Jing Dharma left.
After Jingfa left, the official from the Mirror Division closed the door and came to Duan Ming: "Mr. Duan, do you really believe what he said?"
"You can't believe it, you can't believe it." Duan Ming said with a smile: "By the way, I still don't know what to call him?"
"My subordinate Xu Ruoyun, Mr. Duan can just call me my subordinate Xiao Xu," the official said hurriedly.
"Okay." Duan Ming nodded: "Brother Xu, don't you think what this 'eminent monk' just said is interesting?"
"This is indeed a bit strange. Is there really a Red Lotus Virgin in this world?" Xu Ruoyun thought.
"Of course not, and that's not what I mean by weirdness." Duan Ming stretched out his hand and gently touched his eyebrows: "At the beginning of this purification method, we were afraid that we wouldn't believe that he had seen the Red Lotus Virgin, but later he seemed to
I am afraid that we will believe that that is the Holy Mother of Red Lotus."
"This..." Xu Ruoyun recalled: "It seems to be true."
"Why was he afraid that we wouldn't believe him in the first place? I think it was because he was afraid that we wouldn't take his words seriously. After all, even he himself doubted those words." Duan Ming said: "As for why he was afraid that we would believe it later, maybe it was because
He was worried that we would be frightened by the name of the Red Lotus Virgin and not dare to investigate further."
"But what good does this do to him?" Xu Ruoyun asked doubtfully: "Afraid that we don't believe what he says, and that we won't investigate? Could it be that he wants us to find something?"
"This is natural." Duan Ming nodded: "It seems that the monks in this temple are not like what the outside world spreads. They are really pure and have no desires or desires."
"What does Mr. Duan mean?" Xu Ruoyun said solemnly.
"Check. Tell the criminal commander this clue and let him investigate thoroughly." Duan Ming said: "The Red Lotus Virgin Mother must be fake, and the red figure he saw must be real. If he finds out who that figure is, he may
I can’t tell what I saw.”
"Okay." Xu Ruoyun nodded, and then went out to look for Xing Qianqiu.
Duan Ming stretched, opened the door and walked out slowly, looking at the bright crescent moon in the sky, with a faint smile on his face.
The time to solve the case is just around the corner, and soon he will be able to return to Linyang City and continue eating meat and drinking wine in his exclusive cell.
Duan Ming almost nodded with the Mirror Officers guarding him on both sides, and then Duan Ming walked towards his room.
The next thing can be left to Xing Qianqiu to search, and there is no need for him to work hard anymore.
A few hours passed quickly, and the dawn of the sun slowly shone on the bricks and tiles of the Brahma Temple. The interior of the Brahma Temple was shimmering with golden light, and it looked like a golden palace.
Duan Ming was awakened by the golden light. When he opened the window and took a look, he couldn't help but be speechless.
Duan Ming naturally knew that the Brahma Temple was not entirely made of gold, but it was really rare to be able to lay out such a layout to make the entire temple look like the Golden Temple.
"Mr. Duan!" At this moment, a call came from the window.
Duan Ming heard the sound and looked over, it was Xing Qianqiu.
"Lao Xing, you haven't slept all night again?" Duan Ming said with a smile.
"We were afraid that something might change later, so we investigated overnight." Xing Qianqiu said, "We have found out that this golden Buddha was renovated two months ago!"
