The next day the spies brought news about people coming and going from the palace. A group of bald donkeys often came in and out of the palace. Xixia attached great importance to Buddhism. All the kings in the past dynasties believed in Buddhism. In addition to requesting, translating and engraving Buddhist scriptures from the Central Plains, they also devoted themselves to
Due to the construction of temples and pagodas, there are many temples in the territory. For example, the Gaotai Temple in the Imperial City has a pagoda dozens of feet high, which is very magnificent.
The Xixia royal family today naturally respects Buddhism very much. They often invite Buddhist disciples to explain Buddhist scriptures, especially the concubines in the harem. They do what they want. In addition to palace fights, they mainly study Buddhism in order to prepare to please the Xixia emperor. The longest time they were invited
It is the Gaotai Temple in the imperial city.
Gaotai Temple in Xixia is basically equivalent to the Shaolin Temple in the Central Plains and the Dalun Temple in Tubo. It is not only an important place for Buddhism, but also a very important martial arts sect in Xixia. Of course, it is definitely not as good as the Shaolin Temple, but there are still top-notch masters in the temple.
Fortunately, the monks in Gaotai Temple are all true Buddhist disciples. They are compassionate and rarely participate in martial arts battles. The scale of Gaotai Temple is not small. It is estimated that there are more than a few hundred or even thousands of monks, and there are super first-class masters in charge.
With such strength, it would be considered a first-rate sect in the Central Plains.
Every few days, some monks from Gaotai Temple would enter the palace to explain Buddhist scriptures to the Xixia royal family. After hearing this news, Zeng Yi's eyes lit up. This was an opportunity. During the day, he immediately ran to Gaotai Temple and took a walk.
Gaotai Temple is very large, and there are so many believers who visit it every day. It is easy to blend in with the crowd, but it is not noticeable.
However, after walking around for a while, Zeng Yi discovered that it is not that easy to pretend to be a monk from Gaotai Temple. Zeng Yi found that the monks at Gaotai Temple basically knew martial arts, and there were many top-notch masters among them who could go to the temple.
The monks who lecture in the palace must all be enlightened monks from Gaotai Temple. None of these people are weak. If you want to impersonate these people, it is not much easier than impersonating a Xixia executive.
Just when Zeng Yi frowned and was about to leave, he suddenly heard two young monks cleaning the temple say: "Didn't we just clean it all once? Why do we have to clean it all again?"
"I don't know, maybe that prince and nobleman came to worship Buddha again."
"Princes and nobles? They probably don't take it so seriously. Our Gaotai Temple receives a lot of princes and nobles every year, but we don't take it so seriously. I guess they are probably members of the royal family!"
"Who knows, just clean it up carefully. If it's really a member of the royal family, we can't bear it."
"Yes, then we should be more serious. If we make any mistakes, Master will punish us again."
The two young monks spoke in a very low voice, and no one around them paid attention to them. The two of them did not pay attention at all. Not far from them, a guy who seemed to be worshiping Buddha seriously was eavesdropping on their conversation!
"Member of the royal family! Made, there is another village with a bright future and a bright future. I thought this situation was over, but I didn't expect to hear such news unexpectedly. Good, good!"
Zeng Yi got up and left Gaotai Temple in a hurry, and lurked back to the rich man's mansion. When the two of them saw Zeng Yi coming back, "Sir, I wonder if this Gaotai Temple...?"
"It's basically useless to pretend to be those monks. They are all very powerful in martial arts. I can't do it myself. But I accidentally learned a news. It seems that in the past few days, some members of the emperor are going to Gaotai Temple to worship Buddha. Please investigate for me. Who is it?
If you want to go to Caotai Temple, are you from the palace?"
"this....."
Seeing the lewd expressions of the two of them, Zeng Yi frowned: "What, are you having difficulty?"
The two looked at each other and said quickly: "No, my subordinates will investigate right now!" After telling the two of them, Zeng Yi secretly went to the Jinyiwei spies and asked them to start investigating who was going to Gaotai Temple.
.
At the same time, Zeng Yi also began to investigate near Gaotai Temple. Nothing could be found at the end of the day, but it was basically determined that nine out of ten people were from the palace. According to the information investigated by the spies, many emperors
The princes and nobles of the city often went to Gaotai Temple, but their visits did not attract the attention of Gaotai Temple.
The next day, Zeng Yi was near Gaotai Temple and found that there were some Xixia warriors in Gaotai Temple. These people pretended to be ordinary people and were scattered around Gaotai Temple. Seeing this, Zeng Yi knew that that
For those who come to Gaotai Temple to worship Buddha, they should arrive in the next two days.
Afraid that Gaotai Temple would be under martial law, Zeng Yi immediately sneaked into Gaotai Temple. He wandered around Gaotai Temple and hid while no one was paying attention. There were also many masters in Gaotai Temple. After these few days,
When he went to investigate, he learned that the abbot of Gaotai Temple must be a super first-class master. In addition to the abbot, the leaders of each hall are also strong. They should also have first-class to top-level strength. Zeng Yi also understood the martial arts of Gaotai Temple.
Some of them are definitely incomparable to Shaolin Temple, but they do have some unique skills of their own, which can be regarded as a sect with orderly inheritance. After sneaking into Gaotai Temple, Zeng Yi did not dare to break in, so he could only look for those that were basically unknown.
Hiding wherever people go.
I originally wanted to go to the kitchen of Gaotai Temple, but Zeng Yi thought about the movies he had seen before. Many masters like to live in seclusion in the kitchen. If Gaotai Temple comes out with someone like the Shaolin Temple fire worker, it will be difficult.
, did not go to the kitchen, wandered around secretly, and finally ran to the stables of Gaotai Temple. As one of the best temples in the Xixia Imperial City, Gaotai Temple was very wealthy, and the stables were quite large, raising dozens of horses.
In modern times, this is equivalent to dozens of company vehicles.
There are several monks raising horses in the stable. However, except for the leader, these monks have second-rate skills, and the rest have only learned some three-legged cat skills. To Zeng Yi, these people can be regarded as
Ordinary people.
On the day we lurked in Gaotai Temple, nothing happened. However, the situation was different the next day. The entire temple was closed the next day. No ordinary person could enter Gaotai Temple. Even Gaotai Temple
The disciples were all strictly restricted and could only stay where they were.
As for Gaotai Temple, many Xixia soldiers and warriors came in early in the morning and surrounded the main Gaotai Temple. Seeing this formation, Zeng Yi couldn't help but think: "Holy shit, looking at the formation, it couldn't be Xixia."
The emperor must come in person!"
Zeng Yi originally wanted to go out and take a look, but there were Xixia guards all around, and the few monks in the stables were all staying in the stables. In order not to alert others, Zeng Yi could only continue to hide. (To be continued)
