Colleagues here are all white lotus [Rebirth]

Lingguang Temple is in the northwest of the imperial city, and it was already afternoon when Xie Yin passed by.

The people of Shuntian Prefecture were helping the monks to carry the wounded. Yesterday the fire broke out rapidly and the winter was dry. With the help of the northwest wind, it quickly swept through the wooden monk's house.

When the monks were lying down and resting, the fire was already too big when the monks on duty called to put out the fire. In order to prevent the fire from spreading to the surrounding forests and houses, dozens of monks were burned and failed to escape for various reasons. Four died.

Lingguang Temple can be regarded as a national temple. There are several eminent monks with profound Buddhist teachings. The Buddha's relics are enshrined in the underground palace.Thanks to the blessing of the royal family, even though it is a pure place of Buddhism, it is also built with red walls and blue tiles, which is magnificent.But now there are scorched black ruins everywhere, and monks with dirty faces are carrying the collapsed beams.

When Xie Yin got off the sedan chair, he ran into Chu Yan and Chu Yan who were coming on horseback. Seeing his delicate and weak appearance in the sedan chair, Chu Yan was ready to taunt him every day. When Xie Yin saw his mouth open, he immediately walked along The steps ran farther up.

Chu Yu stared at his back, reluctantly closed his mouth, and suddenly heard a chuckle from beside him.

Chu Lu said angrily: "Third brother, you actually laughed at me! Where are you standing!"

Xie Yin ran for a while panting to slow down his speed, and the two people behind him quickly caught up with him.Halfway up the steps, they saw the tallest Buddha Tooth Relic Pagoda.

It was a young monk named Jueyuan, about 28 or nine years old, who came out to take charge of the government.When Xie Yin was standing in front of the main hall and listening to them, several monks passed by carrying the corpse.

Two of them should have died from the smoke, so there was no abnormal appearance. Xie Yin took a few glances, then looked at the corpses behind, and suddenly his throat retched.Chu Wei followed and turned his head immediately.

Jue Yuan looked over, lowered his eyes and said, "Amitabha."

By the time Xie Yin calmed down, the monk had already carried the four corpses into a relatively complete monk's room.

Xie Yin followed and scratched the door frame, watching the monks place them on the removed door, covered them with cassocks, stood around them with downcast eyes, and recited the mantra of passing away.

Xie Yin glanced at the other two corpses just now, one of them was burnt to death, and the other seemed to be stained with some blood, and when it was placed on the door panel, its posture was also a bit weird, and the joint posture did not look like What ordinary people can do.

But when he saw the burnt corpse, he didn't dare to go in. He could only hold the door frame pitifully, trying hard to resist the retching that would come up at any time.Looking at the expressions of the monks, I also feel a little sad in my heart. A good man just left like this. I think of his previous life. I don’t know if the boys and buddies who usually play with him after he fell off the cliff have set up a tomb for him. .

Before the monks could finish their scriptures and come out to inquire about the condition of the corpse, the little follower brought by Dali Temple whispered behind him: "Master Shaoqing, Prince Zhao and Prince Yu have followed that Jueyuan to the Buddha Tooth Relic tower..."

Xie Yin jumped up as soon as he heard it, loosened the door frame and ran towards the Buddha Tooth Relic Pagoda, looking for relics!Most important task!

The Buddha Tooth Relic Pagoda in Lingguang Temple is specially built to enshrine the Buddha relic, with a towering spire.The above are all solid stone towers, which cannot be climbed.The Buddha's relics are enshrined in the stone box of the underground palace.

When Xie Yin entered the stupa, he saw that the gate of the underground palace had been opened. The first thing that came into view was a huge golden Buddha statue in the underground palace, sitting on a lotus with his eyes down, showing compassion for all living beings.

I don't know why, Xie Yin seemed to be frozen when he saw the Buddha statue for the first time, and the eyes of the gods and Buddha just stared at him quietly for a long time and with compassion.

Under such gazing, Xie Yin's body suddenly burst into a huge sadness, he couldn't move, couldn't restrain, and couldn't speak.In this way, I was gradually overwhelmed and drowned by great sadness.Watching the last ray of light disappear overhead, until it cannot be saved.

There was a sudden sharp pain in his arm, and he woke up suddenly, and saw Chu Yan's stunned face in his blurred vision, his mouth opened and closed, his voice fluctuated near and far,

"--what are you doing!"

Xie Yin gradually came to his senses, and realized that Chu Yan was holding his arm tightly, which was the source of the severe pain.

He turned his head slowly, and saw Chu You and Jue Yuan, Shuntian Fu Yin, the guards and his little follower who were equally astonished.

Xie Yin raised his hand and touched his face, which was wet with water.

I actually cried? ! ! ! ! !

……

Xie Yin silently lit a cannon in his heart, wanting to blow up everything around him, including himself, into a firework.

Chu Yan looked at the blushing ear tips of the young man who tried to calm down and turned his back, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.

·

The underground palace was quiet and silent, so quiet that there was nothing to be quiet about.Everyone wished they didn't have to breathe.

Shuntian Fu Yin remembered the end of Xue Shilang who said that Xie Shaoqing was "born from the heart" a few months ago, and silently compared the horror of seeing Mr. Xie cry with his own eyes.There was a jolt.

The little follower of Dali Temple was confused, and when he handed Xie Shaoqing a handkerchief, his mood was determined and desolate, like a soldier about to die: Mother, this may be the last day of the child's life.

Xie Yin was terribly embarrassed. After wiping his face clean, he felt too deliberate when he wanted to leave, and it was very embarrassing to stay. The rapid change in his face made the little follower more determined that Mr. Xie would silence him when he went out. He looked at Xie Yin's face. His eyes became more and more aggrieved.

Xie Yin:? ? ?

It was Chu Yu who couldn't bear this stiff atmosphere the most, pointing to the stone letter placed in the center of the underground palace, "Wow! The relics are placed here!"

Everyone: "..."

Shuntian Mansion Yin coughed tremblingly twice, and helped smooth things over, "The stone letter is still there, but the Buddha relic in the stone letter is gone."

The atmosphere in the underground palace was much better after opening, Jue Yuan said, "Yesterday, the fire in the temple did not reach the stupa. All the monks were fighting the fire in the main hall and the monk's room. This morning when the sky was bright, we found that the underground palace has been opened."

After a pause, he continued, "Before there were so many people, it was unavoidable to spread rumors and slander Lingguang Temple for no reason. The young monk failed to tell the truth. Please forgive me, my lord and all my lords."

Chu Yi asked curiously, "What did you lie to us?"

Jueyuan walked to the side and found a yellow cloth covered with something among a pile of Buddhist treasures.He didn't open it, but lowered his eyes and said to everyone, "When the underground palace was opened, not only the Buddha's relic was stolen, but also a corpse appeared in the underground palace."

Everyone was shocked.Ying Tianfu Yin stepped forward cautiously and uncovered a corner of the yellow cloth.After a rough investigation, he respectfully said to the two princes, "According to the inference of the veteran, this person should have been dead for at least 30 years."

Due to the dryness of the underground palace, the decay of the corpse was not serious, but it was a little dehydrated.However, what made people feel cold was the expression of the corpse: it opened its mouth wide and looked forward, as if shouting something, with an expression of extreme unwillingness.

Jueyuan lowered his eyes, "However, the underground palace of the Buddha Tooth Relic Pagoda has not been opened for 50 years."

Chu Yan asked, "Who was the first to discover that the underground palace was opened?"

Jue Yuan said, "It's my junior brother, whose Dharma name is Jueming."

Soon a guard brought Jueming over. He had just entered Buddhism, but at the age of sixteen or seventeen, with a round face and vivid eyes, he was still a little childish.As soon as he stepped into the underground palace, he glanced at the mummy under the yellow cloth, and turned his head hastily when he heard Jue Yuan calling him.

Shuntian Fu Yin held the official authority, "You were the first to discover that the underground palace was opened?"

Jueming nodded quickly, "Yes."

Fu Yin said, "Did you see this corpse? Where is the corpse?"

Jueming pointed to the entrance of the underground palace, "It's at the entrance, you can see it as soon as you enter."

Fu Yin said again, "Then did you find out that the Buddha's relic in the stone letter was stolen?"

Jueming was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I didn't pay attention."

Fu Yin brushed his long beard, nodded, "En."

After watching the underground palace, everyone was going to meet several senior monks in the temple.Jueming followed at the end, feeling a little uneasy, Xiaobu caught up with Jueyuan and asked, "Brother, does Master Huikong know about the underground palace?"

Jueyuan turned back and said, "The relics were stolen? Yes, the masters all know."

Jueming shook his head, "No, I mean...hey forget it..."

Jueyuan looked at him puzzled, and said for a while, "Are you talking about the corpse? Only you and the other adults know about this matter."

Jueming was stunned for a moment, and was soon left behind again.
