Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Secrets

Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Secrets"Alas, it seems that this is destined to be a fruitless journey." Xu Qi'an finally drank the first sip of tea since entering the temple, and sighed:

"Master, do you know about the Sangbo case that has been circulating in the capital recently?"

Master Hengqing did not speak.

Xu Qi'an used his eyes to signal his colleagues to stay calm, and continued: "The chief officer of my case was appointed by His Majesty. It is not because I am in the emperor's heart and appreciated by His Majesty..."

Xu Qi'an sighed, wanting to say something but not saying it.

Master Hengqing could not help but glance at him.

"It just so happens that I have been holding this matter in my heart for a long time. Now that I am at the temple, I will talk to the master about it." Xu Qian'an took a moment to choose his words and said:

"A few days ago, I was ordered to raid the home of a criminal official. His Majesty was merciful and did not implicate the family members of the mansion. However, when the house was raided, several colleagues saw that the women in the mansion were beautiful, so they became malicious and wanted to rape them... One of the girls was only twelve or thirteen years old.

"I couldn't stand such a thing, so I stopped them immediately, and had a conflict with my superiors, and almost killed them. I was sentenced to be beheaded. Therefore, His Majesty handed the Sangpo case to me to handle, so that I could make meritorious contributions while serving my sentence.

"My friend said that I was too impulsive. The right thing to do is to endure it first and report it to the government later. But in that case, the girl has already been killed..."

Xu Qiyan looked painful and tangled: "It is said that Buddhism is boundless and can save all living beings. Master, I would like to ask, is what I did right or wrong?"

Lu Qing was shocked and surprised. He did not expect that there was such a thing behind Xu Qiyan's death sentence.

He is really different from other men... There is a gentle light in the eyes of the female police chief.

Master Hengqing was slightly moved. He did not expect that this court hawk dog is still a warm-blooded person. He chanted a Buddhist name and said:

"As long as the donor has a clear conscience, he will not be involved in the cause and effect."

"Master also thinks I did something wrong." Xu Qiyan said gloomily.

Hengqing hesitated for a moment and said, "You are kind-hearted and compassionate, so what's wrong with that?"

Xu Qi'an asked, "But why did the court sentence me to death?"

Master Hengqing comforted him, "The world is like a sea of suffering. Being in it means that you have no choice. In many cases, kindness may not bring good results. However, although it may be late, it will not be absent. The Sangpo case is a destiny in the dark, and it is also a turning point for the donor."

"Master, I understand!" Xu Qi'an suddenly realized and turned to everyone:

"Everyone has heard that Master Hengqing said that Dafeng is a sea of suffering and the Sangpo case is the retribution of the royal family. What are you doing? Arrest people."

Clang clang clang... Everyone immediately stood up, and the sound of drawing swords resounded throughout the quiet room.

...

Zen room.

Master Panshu, the abbot of Qinglong Temple, is 62 years old. His bald head is no longer as shiny as when he was young, and his white beard has grown to his chest.

As a fifth-grade law practitioner, he has been stuck in this state for more than 20 years.

The Buddhist system emphasizes enlightenment. Some monks have practiced Zen for decades, but they cannot make any further progress until they pass away.

However, some monks suddenly realize that all things are the same, just like a spring breeze overnight, and directly skip decades of hard practice.

Master Panshu may be either the former or the latter. Before enlightenment, no one can be sure whether they can achieve enlightenment.

This is called Schrödinger's enlightenment, quantum Buddhism.

"Abbot, Abbot..." A deacon came to the outside of the courtyard and shouted anxiously across the courtyard: "A group of night watchmen came to the temple and tied up the abbot Hengqing. They said that he slandered the court and despised the royal family and wanted to put him in prison."

Abbot Panshu opened his eyes and said in a gentle voice: "I know."

The door of the quiet room opened automatically, and Abbot Panshu disappeared into the

room.

The night watchman escorted the abbot Hengqing out of the temple. More and more monks gathered along the way, with hostile eyes, and they were about to form a siege. As long as someone stepped forward, they would immediately surround this group of court lackeys.

But the night watchman's power was too strong. If they surrounded this small group, there might be a big group tomorrow, razing Qinglong Temple to the ground.

Therefore, no one acted rashly.

"Master, don't be afraid. If you go to the night watchman's office, as long as you cooperate obediently, you will be released soon." Xu Qi'an comforted.

At this time, Xu Qi'an's smile, in the eyes of Master Hengqing, was like the smile of a devil. It did not have the effect of comforting at all.

"Amitabha!"

A magnificent and kind voice came, which invisibly soothed the hostility and anger of the

monks.

Xu Qi'an saw an old monk in a red and yellow cassock, who appeared out of thin air three feet in front of him, blocking the way of the night watchmen.

"I am Panshu."

"Abbot Panshu!" Xu Qi'an was solemn, clasped his hands together, returned the greeting, and said, "I have something to ask the abbot."

"Follow me." Abbot Panshu sighed.

Coming back to the quiet room, this time, except for Xu Qi'an, all other night watchmen,

including the three silver gongs, were blocked out.

For a fifth-grade master, Xu Qi'an's attitude was much more serious. The fifth-grade Ruler corresponds to the fifth-grade Huajin realm of the martial arts system.

This is a master who has surpassed the Copper Skin and Iron Bone realm.

"Master Abbot, I was ordered by the Emperor to investigate the Sangpo case. I accidentally discovered that a centurion of the Jinwu Guard could deceive the sorcerer of the Sitianjian. After asking many people, I learned that Qinglong Temple has a similar magic weapon?" Xu

Qi'an reminded:

"This case is of great importance. For the safety of Qinglong Temple, Master Abbot must tell the truth. I am not threatening you, I hope you understand."

"This temple does have a magic weapon that can conceal the breath and hide from any prying method." Abbot Panshu said in a gentle tone.

"Is this thing still in the temple?"

"Not there!" The abbot shook his head.

Xu Qi'an did not speak, waiting for an explanation.

Abbot Panshu paused for a few seconds and sighed, "The reason why Hengqing deceived you

is probably because this matter involves a scandal in our temple. If it gets out, it may bring disaster to our temple."

"I have a disciple named Henghui, who is very talented. I had high hopes for him, but he was not pure and had an affair with a female pilgrim who went up the mountain. He stole the

magic weapon, eloped hand in hand, and fled the capital."

Xu Qian'an narrowed his eyes, looked at the abbot, and asked casually, "Who is the female

pilgrim?" Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Abbot Panshu put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, and

answered helplessly, "Princess Pingyang."

"!!!"

Xu Qian'an's mind seemed to be struck by thunder.

In the Dafeng Dynasty, there were a total of the following types of women with the title of princess: the emperor's concubine daughter, the crown prince's daughter, the prince's daughter, and the princess.

Strictly speaking, except for the eldest princess born to the queen, the other three princesses

were all born out of wedlock. But Emperor Yuan Jing had only four daughters in his life, and since they were rare, each princess had a title, so when they were addressed, there was no

"county" in front of them.

Although the current crown prince had daughters, they were still young and could not have been involved in elopement.

Therefore, Xu Qian'an deduced that this Princess Pingyang was a royal princess.

The case became more and more complicated. What role did the monk who eloped with the

princess play in this case? Xu Qian'an asked, "When did it happen?"

"More than a year ago." Abbot Panshu replied.

"Thank you for your help, Master. I have another question."

"Please tell me, benefactor."

"Qinglong Temple is the inheritance of the Pagoda Temple built by the monk from the

Western Regions, right?"

Abbot Panshu said nothing and acquiesced.

"After the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple was blown up, I found a large formation at

the bottom of the lake with Buddhist texts engraved on it. The formation 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 also appeared five hundred years ago..." Xu Qi'an

stared at the abbot: "Does the Western Regions have any relevant records of that incident?"

After saying that, Xu Qi'an saw that Monk Panshu's face was extremely ugly, and he had lost

the calmness of a high monk.

"Sir, I only want to ask one thing..." Abbot Panshu stared at him with burning eyes, wanting

to say something but not daring to say it, and brewing for a long time:

"Did the things under Sangpo really... escape?"

"Absolutely true!" Xu Qi'an gave an affirmative answer.

Abbot Panshu seemed to have suffered a great blow, and the fear in his eyes was difficult to

calm down. His hands trembled slightly, clasped his hands together, and chanted Buddhist mantras to cover up his out-of-control emotions.

This reaction... Xu Qian'an was a little surprised. The old monk's reaction was a little too

radical. He asked directly: "Is the seal under Mulberry Lake the first generation of

supervisor?"

The old monk was completely unaware, and only lowered his head to chant the Buddha's name, with his white eyebrows trembling.

After a long time, Abbot Panshu's emotions slowly calmed down, and he said in a deep voice:

"I don't know what is sealed under Mulberry Lake. But there is a saying that has been passed

down since the Pagoda Temple: When the monsters of Mulberry Lake appear, the world will be in chaos.

"The Pagoda Temple was built to guard the seal of Mulberry Lake. Later, the court was afraid that Buddhism would prosper, so it carried out the destruction of Buddhism. The monks of Buddhism retreated to the Western Regions, leaving only the Qinglong Temple.

"Before leaving, the monks repeatedly told us to keep a close eye on the movements of Mulberry Lake and report immediately if there is any abnormality."

Why does it sound like Buddhism cares more about the seal of Mulberry Lake than the Dafeng

royal family?

Well, the first generation of the chief minister was of the first rank, so the chaos in the world

is not an exaggeration. After all, the first rank is the pinnacle of the world.

"This is all I know, sir, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No more."

Abbot Panshu nodded, and his body suddenly disappeared, as if he was edited out.

Xu Qian'an widened his eyes and thought enviously: This move is quite impressive.

After the conversation, the sun was shining, and it was almost noon. Xu Qian'an and others stayed in Qinglong Temple to enjoy vegetarian food.

"The vegetarian food in Qinglong Temple is really delicious." Chu Caiwei ate two bowls in

one breath, holding the third bowl, and praised it with satisfaction.

The vegetarian food in Qinglong Temple is mixed with black rice, millet, and corn. Sesame oil

is poured during steaming. The rice grains are plump, crystal clear, and fragrant. The vegetarian dishes are also made very carefully, with good color, fragrance and taste.

Xu Qi'an sat beside her, watching her eat so happily, and was also very happy. He smiled and said, "Female donor, don't just focus on eating, I'm here to beg for alms."

Chu Caiwei protected the bowl, rolled her eyes, and said unhappily, "Don't you eat the same as me?"

Xu Qi'an shook his head, "I don't beg for food."

"Then what?"

"I'm here in broad daylight."

....

Everyone was quite satisfied with the vegetarian dishes of Qinglong Temple. The only regret

was that there was no white phoenix meat to nourish the body.

Master Hengqing, the abbot, sent everyone to the gate of the temple. The city people were

too tricky, and the abbot Hengqing was angry and didn't speak all the way.

Xu Qi'an suddenly remembered something and asked, "Master, do you know a monk named

Hengyuan?"

The abbot Hengqing's face changed.
