Chapter 221. [Case 23] Mysterious symbols

Hu Zongren asked me, are we looking for the right one? I said yes. Although we saw many places for Buddhas along the way, the incense in each one was relatively sufficient. Although

There was no one guarding the side, but when we passed by, we also found that most of them still had unburned incense candles, including Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. But the place we are currently in is just a shrine, but there are still

The word "night rain" fell.

There are actually quite a few phrases about Ye Yu, but according to the position of the two characters, the character for night is on the right and the character for rain is in the middle. This shows that this is a three-character phrase, so it is most likely "Yeyu Temple"

". There are many Yeyu Temple, Feilai Temple and other temples across the country, but they are just overlapping names. Naturally, it is impossible to call a small Buddhist niche a "temple" in an unreasonable manner, so I guessed that this place is

There must have been a small temple in the past, at least one that could accommodate people. Maybe the unknown pillar I saw opposite just now was part of the temple back then.

I told Hu Zongren my speculation, and Hu Zongren nodded. Although neither of us are Buddhists and don't know much about Buddhism, this kind of logical problem is still very easy to figure out. However,

Hu Zongren asked me, but why are you so sure that this is the temple we are looking for? The temple dedicated to Maitreya Buddha?

I told Hu Zongren that actually most of it came from my intuition, because didn’t the boss say it earlier? There used to be a temple here, and the Maitreya Buddha was enshrined in it. But he didn’t mention that there used to be a temple here.

The matter of a temple, the demolition of the temple must have happened before he was born, and there are farmland, dams, inscriptions praising Yao Gong and an underground river around it. It looks like a temple was built.

A treasured place. I paused and said, besides, if there really was a temple here before, maybe not only Maitreya Buddha, but also Guanyin Bodhisattva were enshrined there.

Hu Zongren thought for a while and said, yes, it is normal to worship Maitreya Buddha in a Buddhist temple, but if the altar of the White Lotus Sect is worshiped by someone else, something would be wrong. I nodded and said, on the other hand, I am from

Judging from the two sentences on both sides of the door of the Buddhist niche, this place is not exclusive to the White Lotus Sect, but an authentic Buddhist temple.

Hu Zongren squatted down and read those two sentences. Although the rain is wide, it cannot moisten the grass without roots. Although Buddhism is wide, it is difficult for unscrupulous people. These two sentences are very easy to understand. You can tell from the word "Buddhism" that it is not Bailian.

The teaching altar, right? I said yes, this sentence should actually come from a certain Buddhist scripture. Anyway, I have seen the expansion or abbreviation of this sentence in many Buddhist temples, and the general meaning is the same.

In this sentence, it actually makes sense to replace the word "Buddhism" with other sects. That is to say, the Dao returns to the sect. The Buddhists do have a deeper understanding of the matter itself than we do, and are rich in a lot of philosophy and even

It is the truth. Hu Zongren asked me, so when you see these two words, and then think of the Maitreya Buddha worshiped here by the tea stall owner, the temple no longer exists, so in this case, the White Lotus Sect

It makes sense for people to regard it as their own altar, right? I'm right, unless the person who hid things here was not a member of the White Lotus Sect, but if not, how will the White Lotus Sect do so many years later?

People will be mobilized to search for it.

I couldn't figure it out for the moment, so I stopped worrying. Hu Zongren and I figured that if someone hid something nearby, they would probably choose to hide something within the scope of the temple, and after hiding it in the first place, we would have expected that one day in the future, someone would hide something.

Someone comes to look for it, otherwise why hide it? Wouldn't it be enough to just destroy it? So when I was hiding, I had already thought that people would come looking for me in the future. I paused and said, although a place like this cannot be said to be inaccessible, it is

It must be a place where many people come here to admire it. Do you still remember the cliff inscriptions on the road we walked down? Hu Zongren nodded, and I continued, it is precisely because this is an ancient pass, and it is precisely because of it.

There was a very profound cultural accumulation before this, which attracted these people to leave inscriptions. Otherwise, why would they choose this place? Furthermore, let’s first assume that this thing was hidden by the White Lotus Sect’s own people, so why hide it?

At that time, he would give priority to the altar of his sect rather than the orthodox Buddhist temple, so he chose this place after the temple was demolished, but when the Buddhist niche is still there, we need to find out the specific time, even if

It can be a rough time range. It’s also worth mentioning that Fotuguan was finally opened as a park. This must have been something the person who hid the thing didn’t expect. Otherwise, even if it were the two of us,

You wouldn't hide something in a place where many people come to visit every day, as it will inevitably be found. So we have to extend the previous time range, which is before this place was regarded as a park.

Hu Zongren got the idea, and he said to me, so this time is after the temple is demolished and before the park is opened, right? I said yes, that's exactly what happened.

I have never learned any criminal investigation skills, let alone Sherlock Holmes. My advantage is that I have relatively keen observations. In fact, many seemingly irrelevant things can only be guessed and half guessed, and the truth is often not far away.

Yes, it just needs to be verified. The advantage of Hu Zongren is his courage. He can always turn danger into a disaster without hesitation. But since he and I got to know each other, it seems that although our cooperation is not perfect, it can be regarded as the icing on the cake.

.For him, I am his best friend and someone who can give him some ideas. But for me, he is a lucky general. It is hard to say whether he is able to survive to this day because of his good skills or luck.

At least, we all did it.

Although Hu Zongren recognized what I said, mere recognition is not enough. We need to get some evidence. So he and I spent some time looking for traces of the existence of the temple in this place, but because it was night, even though there were

We didn’t dare to calm down and search carefully for our mobile phone flashlights. After all, we had to prevent being discovered by people from the park management office, and we also had to guard against the four White Lotus Sect people returning from the cave, so time was of the essence for us.

It was so urgent that after we searched for it for a while, we started to get a little restless.

Call Situ and ask him. Maybe we can get some new progress. This was Hu Zongren’s suggestion. After he died in the hospital, Hu Zongren would always remind me to call Situ intentionally or unintentionally, but he himself would not

Fight. Maybe it’s because Situ and I are familiar with each other. Although it’s not a good thing to ask others for help all the time, the situation is urgent and I can’t worry too much. So I took off my clothes which were already covered with broken glass.

I put on my coat with a small hole in it, squatted down, covered my head, and started to call Situ. It was very late, and Situ had already fallen asleep, but after receiving my call, Situ got up immediately to answer my question. I put

I told him all the situations I encountered here, no matter how big or small. When Situ heard me talking about Yeyu Temple, he suddenly interrupted me and then told me, how confident are you that you can determine the last incomplete one?

The word is the word "Temple"? I'd say eighty or ninety percent, otherwise what else could it be? I've already found the ruins on the other side that may be the ruins of the temple back then. Situ smiled and said, so I

You are still young and temples are never built across rivers. Do you not even have this common sense?

Situ's words suddenly surprised me. Maybe it was not related to the river, so I didn't think about it at all, or I selectively ignored it. Temples usually do not stand on rivers.

On both sides of the Taiwan Strait, this is equivalent to cutting off the road to Buddhism. I don’t know exactly why, but generally there is such a custom. And the lowest place has been confirmed by Hu Zongren and I that it was the former

River, so to speak, the dilapidated building opposite is not a temple. So I asked Situ, if it were not a temple, what do you think it would be? Situ said, have you forgotten that there are a total of 12 in this Fotu Pass?

The Bone Tower was built when the Japanese invaded to bury those who were killed. Most of them have collapsed. As far as I know, there is only one complete one left. I told Situ

, when you put it this way, it does look like a tower, but it is not complete. Situ said, of course it is not the remaining complete one, because the complete one is no longer at the bottom of the cliff. The one you have found so far may be the remaining complete one.

One of 11.

Situ went on to say that the Bone Pagoda was built during the war. In this case, your time range can be narrowed down a bit. However, after Fotu Pass, it was opened to the public together with the adjacent Eling Park. Eling Park was once

It was the private residence of Li Yaoting, the richest man in Chongqing during the Qing Dynasty. It was opened to the public as a park in 1958 after Ren Baige, the then mayor of Chongqing, proposed to Deng Xiaoping. From this, I can conclude that the man hid something.

The time must have been after the temple was demolished and before 1958.

1958 sounds so far away. I am not a treasure hunter, so listening to these is like listening to a book from heaven. So I asked Situ, can you find out when this temple was demolished? Situ said that I need to spend some time to find out.

, it will definitely not work tonight, but you don’t need to know so much, you just need to find things related to the White Lotus Sect, right? I said I would find a collapsed bone tower and an abandoned Buddhist niche now,

Basically, the Buddhist niche is dedicated to Maitreya Buddha, and I don’t know anything else. Situ thought for a while and said, the Buddhist niche and bone pagoda you mentioned are on both sides of the river, right? Am I right? Situ

He said, then you ask Xiao Hu to quickly measure it and see if the halfway point between the straight line from the Buddhist niche to the Bone Pagoda is on the river?

So I told Hu Zongren, who immediately went to do it. After a while, he ran back to me and told me that Situ was right. The middle location happened to be on the lowest river. Situ said,

Search that place carefully. As for the reason, I will tell you when I am sure after checking some clues. Situ then asked, is there anything special around the Buddhist niche? Could it be related to the White Lotus Sect? I asked Situ to wait.

So I picked up the flashlight and circled around the Buddhist niche. Behind the Buddhist niche, on the cliff wall, I found a symbol about the size of a fist.

The symbol looks a bit old, but it is much newer than the Buddhist altar. It is a circle and a crescent. The circle is red and the crescent is gold.

I understood at once, Sun and Moon, Mingjiao!
