"This design is really wonderful. It seems that the person behind this is really not an ordinary person."
He Fang felt a hint of admiration in his heart. To be honest, even he, a time traveler who at least mastered high school physics knowledge, might not be able to come up with such a clever plan.
However, there is still something unclear about He Fang. According to the gatekeepers and monks, they have been standing outside and have never left. So how did this person get in and how did he escape?
"It seems that we have to go to Foguang Temple again tomorrow."
The next day, after He Fang received Dierya's permission, he went to Foguang Temple alone and met the master Yuan, the abbot of the temple.
"I have met Eunuch He. He went down the mountain yesterday due to some complicated matters, so he was unable to pick up the third princess and his father-in-law in person. I hope Eunuch He will forgive me," Li Yuan saluted He Fang.
"Master Lioyuan is serious," He Fang replied.
The two of them sat down and poured the tea in person. He Fang didn't say much nonsense and went straight to the point:
"Master Lioyuan, I came here today because of the Buddha worship conference. I want to ask the master some questions. I hope the master can answer them truthfully."
"What are you talking about, father-in-law? Such a big thing happened at the Buddha Ceremony Conference. I will naturally cooperate with the investigation. How dare I hide anything."
Liao Yuan answered with sincerity and fear. In fact, he was also very afraid that he would be involved in this matter, so he always told the truth, for fear that if he fell into it, his cultivation for most of his life would be ruined.
"That's good, I would like to ask the master, how many keys are there in the pagoda?"
"Back to my father-in-law, I only have one, and it has always been kept by me and has never left my body."
"Only one? Who has entered the pagoda during this time?" He Fang asked again.
"During the Buddha Ceremony Conference, only Lao Na and three of his disciples, the three who are now suffering from madness, climbed the pagoda. Apart from that, there was no one else."
He Fang fell silent. What Liao Yuan said was no different from the soldiers and monks guarding the door before. This was strange. Could it be that the person behind the scenes could still fly?
He Fang thought of the three crazy monks again and thought to himself:
"Isn't it possible that one of these three people is committing theft...?"
However, He Fang quickly denied this conjecture, because the imperial doctor had examined these three people before and determined that they were all mad due to poisoning, and the possibility of them all being cured was very small. If it was really one of them
Even if you did it to deceive others, there is no need to take poison yourself, which will lead to this result.
Liaoyuan looked at He Fang's serious face and felt very depressed. He was already over seventy years old. He originally planned to step down from the post of host after holding this Buddha ceremony meeting and go to the small village in the back mountain.
Chu went to take care of his old age and concentrate on serving the Buddha. However, at this juncture, such a big thing happened, which can even be said to have caused a sensation in the whole of Vietnam. I don’t know how Hu Ting will deal with it in the end, and whether it will involve him.
The old bones and the Foguang Temple have lasted for more than a hundred years.
"Oh, how could this happen..."
Liao Yuan finally couldn't help it anymore, opened his mouth and sighed sadly:
"In order to prepare for this annual Buddha worship conference, the entire temple has been busy for so long. I was afraid that something would go wrong. I thought it would be foolproof. Even the pagoda was carefully cleaned the day before the conference.
But I didn’t expect it to be…”
"Wait a moment--!"
He Fang interrupted Yuan's words unexpectedly, his eyes widened, as if he suddenly realized something, and he asked:
"Master Lioyuan, you just said that you cleaned the pagoda the day before the Buddha Ceremony Conference?"
"um, yes……"
Liaoyuan was a little nervous by He Fang's sudden and inexplicable reaction.
"How many people are there and who are they?" He Fang then asked.
"Because the pagoda is very high and the space inside is very large. In order to complete the decoration as soon as possible, many people were called to clean it. As for who they were, I don't know. If my father-in-law wants to know, you can ask
Come to the auxiliary temple of our temple."
After saying that, Liao Yuan immediately shouted from outside:
"Here comes someone!"
A young monk hurriedly walked in.
"Hurry up and call the deputy temple over. Just say it's something important."
"Back to the abbot, the deputy monk went down the mountain early in the morning and hasn't come back yet," the young monk replied.
"No matter where he is now, bring him back to me immediately," it was obvious that Liao Yuan was already a little angry.
After a while, a middle-aged monk, sweating profusely and panting, ran in and said:
"Host, as soon as I entered the door, I heard someone say you are looking for me, so I ran over quickly."
"Why are you so tired after just two steps? Xuankong, where did you run this morning?" Liao Yuan looked dissatisfied.
"Back to the host, I went down the mountain to handle some accounts for purchasing things in the temple. They are all trivial matters."
"Such a big thing happened in the temple just now. People are in panic these days. If there is nothing particularly important, just stay in the temple and don't run around," Liao Yuan said again.
"Yes, host, I understand."
After teaching the person a lesson, he introduced him to where he was destined to be and said:
"Eunuch He, this is Xuan Kong, the deputy temple of our temple."
"Xuankong, this is Eunuch He who is here from the palace to investigate the case of the Buddha Ceremony Conference. Come and bow quickly."
After hearing Yuan's words, the monk named Xuankong's eyes suddenly flashed with panic, but it was quickly covered up by a smile on his face, but he still noticed it with his sharp eyes.
Xuankong took two steps towards He He, bowed to him, and then said politely:
"The poor monk Xuankong has met Eunuch He."
"Eunuch He, you're so polite. Please take a seat."
He Fang remained calm on the surface, but when the Xuankong monk bowed to him just now, a faint smell of feminine rouge came over him.
"Why does a monk smell like rouge?" He Fang thought to himself.
When it comes to women, He Fang is sharper than anyone else, so first of all, it is definitely not his nose that smells wrong. After thinking about the panic that flashed in his eyes before, He Fang can basically conclude that the monk in front of him is definitely not simple.
.
"Master Xuankong, I would like to ask, are you responsible for cleaning the pagoda the day before the Buddha Ceremony Conference?" He Fang asked.
"Back to my father-in-law, the poor monk is in charge," Xuankong replied.
"Then do you still remember who was involved?"
"This... poor monk didn't remember..."
"Don't remember?" He Fang obviously didn't believe it.
"Yes, father-in-law. Because we were in a hurry that day, there were a lot of people sent to clean the pagoda. There were dozens of people inside and outside here, but the poor monk really didn't remember them all."
