"Well, it seems that this is destined to be a journey without harvest." Xu Qi'an finally drank his first sip of tea since he entered the temple and sighed:

"master, do you know the recent Sangbo case spread in the capital?"

Master Hengqing did not speak.

With his eyes, Xu Qian motioned to his colleagues to be calm and continued: "the sponsor of this case was appointed by your majesty. It's not because I'm simply in the emperor's heart and appreciated by his majesty... "

Xu Qi'an sighed and wanted to say that I'm still in bed.

Master Hengqing couldn't help looking at him.

"Just as it happens, this matter has been in my heart for a long time. Now that I'm in the temple, I'll have a good talk with the master." Xu Qi'an said for a moment:

"a few days ago, I was ordered to copy the home of a criminal official. Your Majesty was kind and didn't even sit in the family. However, when they went to the house, when they saw that the woman in the house was beautiful, they wanted to bully... One of the girls was only twelve or thirteen years old.

"I couldn't stand such a thing. I stopped them immediately, clashed with my superiors and nearly killed them. I was sentenced to be beheaded. Therefore, your majesty handed over the Sampo case to me and asked me to perform meritorious deeds.

"My good friend said that I was too impulsive. The right way is to bear it first and report it to the Yamen later. But in that way, the girl has been poisoned..."

Xu Qi'an looks painfully tangled: "they say that Buddhism is boundless and universal. Master, what I do is right or wrong."

Lu Qing was surprised, showing a look of surprise, did not expect that Xu Qi'an was sentenced to death behind, there is such a thing.

He is really different from other men... In the eyes of the female constable, there is a gentle light.

Hengqing master slightly moved, did not expect that the court Eagle dog, or a warm-hearted generation. After chanting the Buddha's name, he said:

"the benefactor only needs to have a clear conscience, then he can not touch the cause and effect."

"The master also thinks I did wrong." Xu Qi'an is gloomy.

Heng Qing hesitated for a moment, and said: "benefactor is kind-hearted and merciful. What's wrong?"

Xu Qian asked: "but why did the court sentence me to death?"

Master Hengqing comforted: "the world is like a sea of bitterness. Being in it means that you can't help yourself. Many times, kindness may not have good results. However, although it will be late, it will not be absent. The Sangbo case is a day of its own and a turning point for the benefactor. "

"Master, I understand!" Xu Qian suddenly realized, turned to the public and said:

"everyone heard that master Hengqing said that Dafeng is a sea of bitterness, and the Sangbo case is the retribution of the royal family. What are you doing? I'll catch you. "

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang.

...

Zen room.

Master Panshu, the abbot of Qinglong temple, is 62 years old. His bald head is not as shiny as when he was young, and his white beard has grown to his chest.

As a quintessence, he has been stuck in this realm for more than 20 years.

The Buddhist system stresses one word of enlightenment. Some eminent monks have been meditating for decades, and they can't go any further until they have passed away.

But some monks, like a spring breeze all night, suddenly realized Wan Fatong, and directly omitted decades of hard work.

Master Panshu may be either the former or the latter. No one can be sure whether he can have epiphany before he has epiphany.

This is called Schrodinger's Epiphany, quantum Buddhism.

"Abbot, abbot..." a deacon came to the courtyard, across the courtyard, anxiously called: "a group of watchmen came to the temple, tied the Hengqing prison, said he slandered the imperial court, despised the royal family, and wanted to go to jail."

The abbot opened his eyes and said in a gentle voice, "I see."

The door of the quiet room opened automatically, and the abbot of the tree disappeared in the room.

...

the watchmen escorted Hengqing prison to the outside of the temple. More and more monks gathered along the way, and their eyes were hostile, forming a situation of encirclement. As long as someone came out, they would immediately surround the group of court eagles and dogs.

But the watchmen are so powerful that if they surround the small ones, they may come to the big ones tomorrow and raze the Qinglong temple to the ground.

As a result, no one made rash moves.

"Master, don't be afraid. When you go to the watchman's Yamen, as long as you cooperate, you will be released soon." Xu Qi'an said with relief.

At this time, Xu Qi'an's smile, in the eyes of master Hengqing, is like a devil's smile. It's no consolation at all.

"Amitabha!"

A magnificent and kind voice came, virtually calming the hostility and anger of the monks.

Xu Qi'an saw an old monk in red and yellow cassock, who appeared in front of him, blocking the way of the watchmen.

"Poor monk pan tree."

"Abbot Pan Shu!" Xu Qi'an solemnly put his hands together and returned a salute, saying: "I have something to ask the abbot."

"Come with me." The abbot sighed.

This time, except for Xu Qi'an, including three silver gongs, other watchmen were shielded.For a master of Wupin, Xu Qian's attitude is much more serious. The law of Wupin corresponds to the Wupin power of Wufu system.

This is a master beyond the realm of copper and iron.

"Master abbot, I was ordered by the emperor to investigate the Sangbo case. Occasionally, I found that Jin Wuwei, a hundred families, could deceive the magician of Si Tianjian. After many inquiries, do you know that Qinglong temple has similar weapons? " Xu Qian reminded: "this case is of great importance. For the sake of the integrity of Qinglong temple, the abbot must tell the truth. I'm not threatening the master. I hope I can understand. "

"There is indeed a magic weapon in this temple, which can cover the breath and hide from any prying method." Abbot Panshu's tone is gentle.

"Is it still in the temple?"

"No!" The abbot shook his head.

Xu Qi'an didn't speak and waited for an explanation.

Abbot Panshu stopped for a few seconds and sighed: "the reason why Hengqing deceived you is that it involves a scandal in our temple. If it is publicized, it may bring disaster to the temple. "

"I have a disciple named Henghui, who is gifted and intelligent. I had high hopes for him, but he had an affair with the pilgrim. He stole the magic weapon and ran away from the capital hand in hand. "

Xu Qi'an squinted at the abbot and asked casually, "the identity of the female pilgrim?"

The abbot put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name in a low voice. He had no choice but to answer: "Princess Pingyang."

“!!!”

Xu Qi'an's mind is like a thunder.

In Dafeng Dynasty, there were several kinds of women named as princesses: Emperor's concubines, crown prince's daughters, Prince's daughters and King's daughters.

Strictly speaking, except for the eldest princess born to the queen, the other three princesses are all born of concubines. But emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty had four daughters in his life. They were rare and precious. Every princess had a title, so when they were called, there was no "county" in front of them.

Today, although the prince has a daughter, he is too young to be involved in elopement.

Therefore, Xu Qi'an infers that the princess of Pingyang is the daughter of the royal family.

This case is more and more complicated. What role does the monk who elopes with the princess play in this case? "When did it happen?" Xu Qian asked

"More than a year ago." Replied the abbot.

"Thank you, master. I have one more thing to ask."

"Please, benefactor."

"Qinglong temple is the inheritance of the pagoda temple built by the monks of the western regions, right?"

The abbot of Panshu said nothing and acquiesced.

"After the explosion of the mountain and River Temple in Yongzhen, my official once found a large array at the bottom of the lake with Buddhist inscriptions on it. The grand array was set up five hundred years ago, and the pagoda temple also appeared five hundred years ago. What's more interesting is that emperor Wuzong was also five hundred years ago... "Xu Qi'an gazed at the abbot:

" was there any relevant record of that incident in Buddhism in the western regions? "

With that, Xu Qi'an saw that the monk Pan Shu's face was very ugly, and he lost the indifference of the eminent monk.

"My Lord, I only ask you one thing..." abbot Panshu stared at him with burning eyes. He wanted to say it, but he didn't dare to say it. He brewed for a long time:

"what's under the bottom of Sampo, really... Escaped?"

"It's true Xu Qi'an gave a positive reply.

Abbot Panshu seems to have been greatly hit, and the fear in his eyes is hard to calm. His hands tremble slightly, he closes his hands and recites the Buddha's name to cover up his emotional loss.

This reaction... Xu Qi'an was a little surprised. The old monk's reaction was a little extreme. He asked directly, "is the seal under Sangpo the first generation of prison?"

The old monk didn't realize it. He just lowered his head and recited the Buddha's name. His white eyebrows trembled.

After a long time, abbot Panshu calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what is sealed under Sangbo. But there is a saying that has been handed down from the time of Pagoda Temple: the magic of Sangpo came out and the world was in chaos.

"In those days, the pagoda temple was built to guard the seal of Sangpo. Later, the imperial court was afraid of the prosperity of Buddhism and carried out the extermination of Buddhism. Buddhist monks have returned to the western regions, leaving only the Qinglong temple.

"Before leaving, the eminent monks told us to pay close attention to the movement of Sangpo and report any abnormality immediately."

It sounds like Buddhism cares more about the seal of Sangpo than Dafeng royal family?

Well, the first generation of prison is just a product. It's not exaggerating that the world is in chaos or anything. After all, Yipin is the pinnacle of the world.

"I only know that. What else do you want to ask?"

"No more."

The abbot nodded, his body suddenly disappeared, as if he had been cut out.

Xu Qian stares big eyes and thinks enviously: this move is a bit of a show.

At the end of the conversation, the sun was shining, and it was almost noon. Xu Qi'an and others stayed in Qinglong temple to enjoy fast food.

"The fast food in Qinglong temple is delicious." Chu Caiwei ate two bowls at a time, holding the third bowl, and praised with satisfaction.

The vegetarian meal in Qinglong temple is mixed with black rice, millet and corn. Sesame oil is drenched between steaming. The rice grains are full, crystal clear and fragrant.Vegetarian dishes are also made with great care. They are full of color, fragrance and taste.

Xu Qi'an sat beside her, looking at her eating so happy, also very happy, said with a smile: "benefactor, don't patronize yourself to eat, I'm coming."

Chu Caiwei protected the bowl, rolled her eyes, and said, "are you different from me?"

Xu Qi'an shook his head: "I don't want to go to the fast."

"What does that mean?"

"Monk, in broad daylight."

...

everyone is quite satisfied with the vegetarian food of Qinglong temple. The only regret is that there is no white phoenix meat to make up the body.

Master Hengqing, as a prison, sent everyone to the temple gate. The routine of city people was too deep. Hengqing prison was angry and didn't speak all the way.

Xu Qian suddenly thought of something and asked, "master, do you know a monk named Hengyuan?"

Hengqing prison's face changed.
