The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Master Xuan Hong sighed and said, "Amitabha, I wonder if there is anything I can do to help His Majesty?"

Xiao Mubei said, "When I fought with the monk yesterday, I learned that the two men were named Shaokang and Jingkong. I wonder if the master can recognize these two men?"

Master Xuan Hong shook his head and said, "I have never heard of them. There are no monks with these two names in the temple."

Chu Yunxi said, "I think they are not from this Guanyin Temple. The prince and I just came here to ask for help. But Abbot, we alerted the two murderers yesterday and they failed. I am afraid that they will be angry and hide in the Guanyin Temple, waiting for an opportunity to vent their anger on innocent people, or secretly look for targets again. This Guanyin Temple is so big that if they hide secretly, the abbot may not know. Why don't you take us to thoroughly check the temple to ensure safety, so that the prince and I can go to other places to investigate with peace of mind? "

Master Xuanhong showed a moment of embarrassment on his face. Although he quickly concealed it, Chu Yunxi still caught it sharply.

“Okay, then please wait for a moment, Your Majesty and Princess. I will go and arrange for the monks, and we will go together to conduct a thorough investigation later.” Master Xuanhong said.

Xiao Mubei responded, and Master Xuanhong went out.

Xiao Mubei asked Chu Yunxi quietly, "Brother, are you ready?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, "Senior Brother, Baiyu, Heimu, and Zi Han have been monitoring from a high place. As soon as they find the fake Shaokang, they will immediately capture him."

It turned out that Chu Yunxi analyzed that the fake Shaokang appeared after Shan Ruoheng and his wife were brought into Guanyin Temple that day, and judged that he should stay in Guanyin Temple on weekdays. That day, the fake Jingkong brought Shan Ruoheng and his wife to Guanyin Temple on the pretext of worshiping the Eternal Lamp, but in fact he came to inform the fake Shaokang.

Because it was a temporary change in the method of committing the crime, neither of the two men had one go to the bottom of the cliff in advance as they had done before.

At this moment, Chu Yunxi deliberately said that she wanted to thoroughly investigate Guanyin Temple. If Master Xuanhong was really in cahoots with them, he would definitely notify the fake Shaokang to hide. Wen Rulan and others were monitoring the entire temple, and Hei Mu had also seen the fake Shaokang. This move might make it possible to capture the fake Shaokang in one fell swoop.

After a while, the young monk came over and said that the abbot invited the two distinguished guests to the front yard and the monks were already ready.

The two went to the front yard, and Master Xuan Hong had indeed gathered ten monks to wait in front of the hall. Seeing Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi coming over, Master Xuan Hong clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty and Princess."

Xiao Mubei said calmly: "It's okay, let's go."

Chu Yunxi's eyes swept across the faces of the ten monks one by one, and then looked at Xiao Mubei. Xiao Mubei shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no fake Shaokang among the monks.

The group started the inspection from the Guanyin Hall, and carefully checked every place in the hall where people could hide. Xiao Mubei also searched the faces of every monk, and then walked all the way to the backyard.

In addition to the Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in the front, different Bodhisattvas are enshrined in each other hall, from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to Manjusri Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva to Weituo Bodhisattva. Each Bodhisattva has a palace. These palaces have been inspected and nothing was found.

When she arrived at the last palace, Chu Yunxi didn't recognize the statues enshrined in it. Last time she came, she didn't look carefully at which Bodhisattva was enshrined in each palace. Today, she looked carefully. At this moment, she looked at the statue of the master with kind eyes and asked curiously, "Which Bodhisattva is this? Why have I never seen him before?"

Master Xuanhong said: "Amitabha, this is the founder of this temple, Zen Master Daoyuan, who is also my teacher."

"Oh?" Chu Yunxi had never seen a temple that enshrined its own founder. This was a little unbelievable. "Is Zen Master Daoyuan enshrined here for pilgrims to mourn him?"

"That's not the case," Master Xuanhong chanted a Buddhist name, "This is to let the monks of this temple remember him. Master Daoyuan has made a lot of efforts for the development of Guanyin Temple. It can be said that without him, there would be no Guanyin Temple today."

Master Xuanhong's voice was full of respect. It was obvious that he respected Master Daoyuan very much. Chu Yunxi was a little confused. "Isn't the prosperity of Guanyin Temple passed down from generation to generation? Why do you say that?"

Master Xuanhong shook his head and said, "That's not the case. From the time Guanyin Temple was built, in the first twenty years, almost no one came up the mountain. Later, the master picked me and my junior brother up, and there were only three of us in the temple. We followed the master in practicing hard, and there was not much incense in the temple, so in addition to practicing, we followed the master in growing and selling vegetables, but life was still very hard, and we often didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. The master was originally indifferent, but he couldn't bear to see my junior brother and I live such a hard life, so he started to go down the mountain every day to the streets of the capital to preach Buddhism and promote Guanyin Temple. Gradually, the temple became more popular, and more and more people chose to become monks in Guanyin Temple. Guanyin Temple gradually became famous and developed step by step to its current size."

Chu Yunxi listened to Master Xuanhong's talk and could imagine that it was not easy for a small temple to become a large temple today. She asked, "I see that the courtyard of Guanyin Temple has not been renovated for a long time. Was it built by Zen Master Daoyuan?"

When she first came here, she felt that the house here was a little shabby. Logically speaking, Guanyin Temple should not be short of money now, but why didn’t they renovate the house? Now that she thinks about it, perhaps it was also to preserve the traces of Zen Master Daoyuan.

Master Xuanhong sighed and said, "Amitabha, the princess is really quick-witted and observant. That's why, after the Guanyin Temple became popular, the master led us to renovate the entire temple with our own hands. It can be said that every brick and tile here has the traces of the master. After he passed away, I have never moved the house here."

"Master Xuanhong is truly loyal and righteous." Chu Yunxi praised him, and had a vague guess in her heart.

As they were talking, there was a sudden commotion outside. Master Xuan Hong's face changed slightly. Chu Yunxi looked outside and deliberately asked, "Did something happen outside?"

Master Xuanhong said, "Amitabha, please wait a moment, I will go out to take a look." After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi to agree, he hurried out.

Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei looked at each other, and then they followed him out.

The sound came from behind the house. The two of them walked through a corridor and went out from behind a house. It turned out that the back of Guanyin Temple led directly to the mountain. Between the temple and the mountain was an open space covered with grass.
