So they really don't know the specific process of Deyuan and others' trip, let alone what other strange things happened.
When Deyuan talked about that strange thing, his face looked a little strange.
He said: "This matter... is a bit mysterious."
"oh?"
Shen Lian became even more interested.
Originally, it was quite mysterious for these monks to say that they could communicate with Buddha.
Is there anything else that would make them feel mysterious?
This is really interesting.
Deyuan looked at Shen Lian and said, "Didn't we put the box containing the silver there? The thief also asked us to do this."
"The poor monk thought that the thief would find a way to transport all those boxes while we were leaving, but who knows..."
Shen Lian suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "They didn't take away the box. The box is still where it is."
"Master Shen, how do you know?" Deyuan looked at Shen Lian in surprise.
There was a flash of light in Shen Lian's eyes, and he said with a smile: "It's just a guess, Master Deyuan continues."
Deyuan continued: "As Lord Shen expected, those boxes were still there when we went back."
"And the box of relics is right above those boxes."
"The poor monk was very confused at the time. I was still thinking, could it be that the thief had turned around and was gone? No ransom required? So the poor monk quickly opened those boxes, and the result..."
He glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "We found that those boxes were all filled with stones! None of the silver coins we moved was missing."
Gudu.
I don't know who swallowed the spit, but the sound was so obvious in the quiet night.
Many people's faces turned a little pale.
Xu Gou also widened his eyes and said: "Master Deyuan, are you telling the truth? The box is full of stones and there is no silver!?"
Deyuan nodded: "What all of us have seen with our own eyes cannot be false."
"Could it be that the thieves took away all the silver?" Xu Gou guessed.
"impossible!"
Shen Lian rejected it directly.
He said: "First of all, there is no logic and no reason!"
"For the thieves, the most convenient thing is to transport those boxes away directly. In this case, it will not waste time and leave no big traces!"
"And even if he doesn't want to take away the box for some reason, after taking away the silver coins, there is no reason to find so many stones to fill the box."
Having said this, Shen Lian looked at Deyuan and said, "Are there many rocks near the woods?"
Deyuan shook his head hurriedly: "That's not a stone mountain. There are definitely not many stones. There are even less stones where we placed the box."
Shen Lian said: "So, the thief had absolutely no reason and no way to fill the box with stones!"
"And secondly..."
Shen Lian looked at them and said, "Five thousand silver taels, how much is it? Have you ever calculated it?"
"There are so many silver taels filled into the box. Let alone one hour, even if you are given two hours, if you can pick out so many boxes and so many silver taels, I will consider you awesome!"
"So, doing this kind of thing is unreasonable on one side, and it can't be on the other side! Therefore..."
Shen Lian paused deliberately, looked at the monks at Huasheng Temple, glanced at their faces one by one, and said: "This is simply not something that one person or a few people can do! Even, It’s absolutely impossible!”
"If we want to explain it, maybe... we can only use the gods to explain it."
Suddenly, the faces of all the monks changed when they heard Shen Lian's words.
They all opened their eyes wide, and were all frightened by Shen Lian's words.
Even Deyuan, who had experienced it personally, suddenly stood up with goosebumps when he heard Shen Lian's words.
Xu Gou, he even subconsciously hid behind Di Renjie.
Di Renjie was left speechless.
When you encounter something you are afraid of, just hide back. This guard is useless, so kill him.
"Amitabha."
At this time, a Zhongzheng voice suddenly sounded.
Dezhi looked at Shen Lian and said: "Master Shen, please don't say it's a joke. A thief is a thief. What does it have to do with gods?"
When everyone saw Abbot Dezhi's calm and composed face, they felt a little calmer in their hearts.
Sometimes, a calm and steady person can indeed bring the same calmness to others.
When Shen Lian heard Dezhi's words, he laughed a little.
He smiled and said: "The abbot is right. Don't take it seriously. I was just joking."
"Gods and all that are all nonsense. I don't believe there are any gods in this world."
After hearing Shen Lian's words, all the monks breathed a sigh of relief.
"but……"
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes: "This matter is indeed difficult to explain. The thief would never be able to do this on the spot."
"so……"
"I think we can let the real thief explain it to everyone. Once he explains it, everyone will understand."
Shen Lian looked at Dezhi, who had a calm and calm face, and said meaningfully: "Abbot Dezhi, why don't you... explain to us how you did it? Let everyone gain insights!"
Chang'an Huasheng Temple, inside the main hall.
At this moment, the huge hall fell silent for an instant as Qin Zulai's voice fell.
Everyone was stunned.
They stared at Shen Lian blankly, seemingly not understanding what Shen Lian meant.
What did Shen Lian just say mean?
Let the thief explain...
Then he named Abbot Dezhi.
This...this...
Could it be that Shen Lian means...the abbot is a thief!?
This realization was like a bolt from the blue, and the turbulent waves suddenly swept over them, instantly making all the monks feel as if they had been struck by lightning.
A look of disbelief.
They all looked at Shen Lian, as if they wanted to confirm whether what they said was true or a joke.
And Xu Gou suddenly frowned at this time.
When he saw those monks staring directly at Shen Lian, his heart suddenly tightened.
Why does he feel like a sheep in a wolf's den?
Xu Gou winked at the servants, secretly took half a step forward, and protected Shen Lian behind him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As long as there is any abnormality, Shen Lian can be protected as soon as possible.
When it's time to do the work, he's never vague.
"Master, if a group of people gets into a fight, you should run away quickly. Although there are more than a hundred people here, I will hold them back even if I die."
Xu Gou whispered to Shen Lian.
When Shen Lian heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Xugou, don't be nervous, it won't happen."
It's really not the case.
Shen Lian still attaches great importance to his own safety. After all, he has a wife waiting for him at home.
If things were really dangerous, he wouldn't stoke a hornet's nest in this situation.
Since Shen Lian dares to say and act, he is confident.
But Xu Gou was still very cautious, holding the handle of the knife tightly with his hand, and fighting with all his might.
His mission is to protect Shen Lian's safety.
Even if there is any danger, he cannot relax.
So Xu Gou's nerves were tense at this moment.
When Shen Lian saw this, he didn't say much. Everyone had their own responsibilities. Xu Gou thought that he should be protected, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to be careful.
After all, there is the shadow of the mysterious Beichen behind this incident. Who knows if he will suddenly appear and cause trouble.
"Amitabha."
At this time, Dezhi's voice suddenly sounded.
He looked at Shen Lian, clasped his hands together, and still had that kind look on his face.
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Sir Sir Shen, this poor monk doesn't quite understand what Sir Shen means."
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Monks do not lie, so Master Abbot, are you planning to break the precepts?"
Dezhi's eyes moved and the corners of his mouth moved, but soon he shook his head and recited a Buddhist sutra in a low voice.
Deyuan and others were completely shocked by Shen Lian's words. He couldn't help but said: "Sir Shen, you...don't talk nonsense!"
"Senior brother has profound Buddhist teachings and noble moral character. He would never do such a thing! Moreover, stealing relics in the passage will do no good to senior brother at all!"
Everyone else nodded in unison.
Jiecheng said: "Yes, master will never do such a thing."
Jiezhi had followed Deyuan to deliver the ransom, and he had just returned with him. At this time, when he heard Shen Lian saying bad things about his patron, he quickly stood up and said, "Sir Sir Shen, even if you are His Majesty, The great power of our time, who is praised by all, cannot arbitrarily accuse us."
"that is!"
"The abbot would never do such a thing!"
Many monks spoke one after another.
They all looked at Shen Lian with unkind expressions.
In their eyes, Shen Lian was like the big devil who deliberately framed and discredited the bright and majestic abbot in their hearts.
Seeing this, Xu Gou directly pulled out the sword from his waist. The blade flashed with a biting coldness. He shouted loudly: "How dare you! My young master has solved countless cases. How can a good person be wronged in such a small case? Shut up!"
I have to say that Xu Gou is really intimidating at this time.
He was already tall and thick, but with the sword in his hand and his eyes as wide as tiger eyes, he immediately frightened these monks.
"It's your young master who is making the false accusation--" Jie Zhi had been punished because of Shen Lian before, and he was already resentful, so he couldn't help but whisper at this moment.
"Shut up!"
Xu Gou shouted: "If you speak again, I will take you to Jingzhaoyi Prison for a tour. I think Mr. Zhao will give our young master a face. If you are not afraid, go ahead and say it!"
Jie straightened his neck and shrank back. Being frightened by Xu Gou, his face turned slightly pale and he really didn't dare to speak anymore.
Xu Gou glanced at the monks. None of these monks dared to look at Xu Gou.
Shen Lian watched Xu Gou's rare moment of excitement without saying a word, happy to watch Xu Gou show off his power.
When all these people were shocked by Xu Gou, Xu Gou looked at Shen Lian and said, "Young Master, now you have to say it. If they don't believe in Young Master, then Young Master will slap them in the face with reality! Let's give it a try. They know you can't go wrong!"
Shen Lian originally didn't want to engage in such a big battle.
A slap in the face, so bad.
But Xu Gou had already let the word out. If he didn't do this, wouldn't he be devastated by his subordinates?
So after thinking about it, he could only look at Dezhi helplessly.
I really don’t blame myself, who told you to ignore your little disciples just now.
He smiled, stepped out, and came to the front of Meng Hu.
Looking at these monks, he said calmly: "As I, Mr. Qin, said before, the relics were stolen by the people in your temple, so the relics will be kept for a period of time, or... when you go to redeem the relics , it has actually been hidden in the temple.”
"But you also said that you have searched the temple many times and still found nothing. So...this also shows that the relic is hidden in the temple, and it is still hidden in a place that you will not touch even if you search it many times. !”
"And there are only three places like this in your entire temple."
Everyone looked at Shen Lian subconsciously.
Deyuan asked: "Which three places?"
Shen Lian stretched out a finger and said: "The first place is in the well!"
"Well?" Everyone was startled.
Shen Lian said: "You must have checked it on the ground, but in the well, you only need to put the relics in a box with water, and then make sure the weight of the box is enough. If you throw it into the well, the box will naturally fall to the well. At the end of the day, in this case, I don’t think you can find it, right?”
Everyone thought for a while.
Indeed, their wells are so deep that you can't even see the bottom at a glance.
Moreover, the inside of the well is very dark and difficult to see, so you really won’t notice it.
"However, this can be ruled out."
Everyone was puzzled: "Why?"
Shen Lian said calmly: "First of all, many people go to draw water from wells. With so many people, if they meet someone with good eyesight, they may be able to find something. This is unavoidable."
"Secondly, the thief hid the relics in order to take them out in the future. As I said, if you throw them at the bottom of the well, it will not be easy to take them out. If you tie them with a rope, they will be easily drawn into the water. People discover the most.”
"So, based on the above two points, a well is a good place to hide relics, but thieves will not choose it."
Although a kind of monk was still a little unkind to Shen Lian, he couldn't help but nod his head when he heard Shen Lian's words.
They knew that what Shen Lian said was right.
And this was something they had never thought of before.
"What about the other two places?" Deyuan asked again.
"second."
Shen Lian raised his second finger and said, "It's a septic tank."
"What!?"
"Septic tank?"
"this……"
The monks were stunned.
As soon as you name this place, you can feel the smell.
Some young monks who were close to the relic subconsciously moved away from Shunlizi.
Afraid of too much smell!
What is a septic tank?
This is the place where all the things in the temple are collected together after everyone has gone out to pray, and then wait for fertilization in the spring.
Usually the smell is so shocking that no one would take the initiative to get close to it.
Seeing the disgusted looks on everyone's faces, Shen Lian smiled and said, "Don't worry about the smell. Tell the truth. Has anyone been to search the septic tank?"
"this……"
Deyuan and others looked at each other, then shook their heads.
Of course not!
…………
"this……"
Deyuan and others looked at each other, then shook their heads.
