Chapter 315: A Buddha Treasure Made Out of Nothing
The emerald green Bodhi tree, with its branches and leaves, is like an open giant umbrella, covering half of the courtyard.
Cigarette smoke curls under the trees, prayer flags are stacked, and the sound of prayer is endless.
Countless devotees put their hands together through the huge incense burner and prayed to the giant tree for blessings and blessings.
Such a pious picture did not arouse Shi Chen's interest at all, his eyes looked straight at the bottom of the giant tree, as if there was something rare on the empty lawn on that side.
"Let's go, let's go and make a wish. ”
Li Shuangshuang excitedly grabbed Shi Chen, and was about to take a step, when there was a sudden commotion behind the main hall.
A group of monks dressed in gray monk's robes, with tight cuffs and trouser legs, carrying eyebrow-raising whistle sticks, all looked stern and rushed into the courtyard quickly.
"What's wrong?"
"Why are these monks holding sticks, is there a special performance?"
"What kind of performance, these people are the warrior monks of the inner courtyard of Nanwu Temple, who protect the temple, something must be wrong!"
The appearance of this group of warrior monks immediately attracted people's attention, and various discussions emerged one after another.
"Seal the front and back doors for me, no one is allowed to leave without my orders!"
A square-faced monk stood on the steps of the main hall, and with a wave of the long stick in his hand, several warrior monks immediately ran to the front and rear doors, and the wooden stick in his hand was lifted horizontally, completely blocking the passage.
"Master, what are you doing here, why are you blocking the door and not letting everyone leave?"
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted dissatisfied.
"Amitabha. The square-faced monk folded his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and then said aloud, "Don't hide it, just now, an important Buddha treasure in this temple was suddenly stolen. ”
"Therefore, in order to find out the thieves who stole the Buddha's treasures, we had to seal off the temple, and we also asked the donors to cooperate with our investigation, and the poor monk Hongyi was grateful. ”
"So that's the case, the loss of the Buddha treasure is a big deal, Master Hongyi rest assured, we are all good believers, and we will definitely cooperate with you to investigate." ”
Someone responded loudly, people nodded their heads in response, and the occasional few complaints were quickly drowned under the waves.
"Thank you again for your kindness, and then please open the package you are carrying with you so that the monks of this monastery can check it. ”
Hongyi gave another salute, and at his request, people opened their purses and pockets one after another.
"I thought it was something, it turned out that I lost the Buddha treasure, and I don't know what that thing looks like. ”
Li Shuangshuang pursed his lips boringly, and as soon as the words fell, he heard a trembling voice, "It can't look like this, right?"
"Huh?"
Li Shuangshuang raised his eyes and saw that Ye Qingwei was holding an old scroll in his hand, although it was rolled, he could still see the painting of the Buddha and the gold lacquer on the edge from it, which was full of Zen.
"Ahh
Li Shuangshuang screamed, only to realize that something was wrong after screaming, and hurriedly covered his small mouth with his hand.
Her eyes under the sunglasses were full of shock, she couldn't understand how could a scroll with a Buddha statue appear in Sister Qingwei's purse?
Not only did she not understand, but Ye Qingwei was also stunned.
She knew best in her purse, there was no such thing in it, but it was in it.
Li Shuangshuang's voice immediately attracted the attention of the surroundings, and people gathered their eyes on Ye Qingwei's hand in unison.
"Okay! I didn't expect it to be a woman who stole the Buddha treasure. ”
"No wonder I didn't dare to see people, and I wanted to cover myself up, because I was afraid of being discovered. ”
"Hehe, everyone got the stolen goods, tear off her sunglasses and mask, and let everyone come to see her face!"
Everyone pointed at Ye Qingwei, and the crowd was surging for a while.
"I, my sunglasses and mask can't be taken off......"
Ye Qingwei was so frightened that she retreated again and again, on this occasion, she dared to show her true face, and half of her career would be ruined immediately.
"Stop talking nonsense, bring something!"
A warrior monk took advantage of Ye Qingwei's inattention, rudely snatched the scroll, quickly unfolded it, and handed it to Hongyi to see, "Senior Brother Hongyi, is this painting?"
"That's right, it is this picture of the Buddha holding flowers, which was painted by the Xuanbei Zen Master four hundred years ago, and it is the supreme Buddha treasure treasured by this temple. ”
Hongyi hurriedly took two steps forward, looked and looked, and finally made sure that it was correct.
"Female thief, everyone has stolen goods, what else do you have to say!"
The warrior monk handed over the scroll to Hongyi, turned around and reprimanded Ye Qingwei sharply, "Immediately follow me to the Discipline Hall to be interrogated by the abbot, and we will hand you over to the police station later!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Ye Qingwei's wrist, looking like he was about to use force.
"I didn't steal anything, I didn't steal this painting. ”
Ye Qingwei hurriedly defended herself, and retracted her snow-white wrist desperately.
"Hmph, you didn't steal it, could it run into your bag by itself? Don't even think about quibbling, follow me!"
The warrior monk's expression was cold, his fingers turned into claws, and he suddenly increased his speed, and there was a momentum of wind and thunder, if Ye Qingwei was caught by him, several blood grooves would immediately appear.
Syllable!
only heard a crisp sound, and his grasp was in vain after all, and he was directly slapped by a palm as white as jade.
"You dare to stop me?"
The warrior monk stared at Shi Chen coldly and spoke in a deep voice.
"It's not to stop you, I just want you to investigate. ”
Shi Chen pulled Ye Qingwei aside, and Li Shuangshuang immediately came up to protect Ye Qingwei, glaring at the warrior monk angrily.
"The thing was rummaged out of her bag, she was stolen by us, what else needs to be investigated?"
The warrior monk pointed at Ye Qingwei and spoke strongly.
"Sometimes, what the eyes see is not necessarily true, what if she was framed?"
Shi Chen never believed that Ye Qingwei would be willing to risk ruining her career to steal a Buddha treasure that was not worth much.
She must have been framed.
It's just that Shi Chen has some eyebrows faintly for the reason, but he hasn't thought it through yet, so he can only block people back first.
"Hmph, what do you mean, do you mean that someone in this monastery deliberately framed her? The monks of this monastery have been practicing for many years, and all of them are virtuous people, and they will never do such indiscriminate things. ”
The warrior monk asserted with great certainty.
"Master, don't talk too much, the Buddha still has to sit and look at himself from time to time, wipe the bright mirror in his heart, although you monks of Nanwu Temple are profound, but they may not all be able to eliminate the dirt in their hearts, right?"
Shi Chen argued unhurriedly.
"Speaking of which, you still think that we framed her, this is clearly slander, I think you are in the same group as this woman, right?"
The warrior monk sneered, his ten fingers popped out, and he clenched into a fist, apparently ready to make a move.
"It seems that the master is not going to investigate clearly?"
Shi Chen took a step forward and completely blocked Ye Qingwei and Li Shuangshuang behind him.
"Why investigate, wait for me to use thunderous means to capture the two of you, and everything can be revealed!"
Seeing that this warrior monk was stubborn and did not enter the oil and salt, Shi Chen was also a little annoyed, and his five fingers bloomed like lotus flowers, ready to give him a profound lesson.
At this moment, a rebellious voice came.
"When did even a coward dare to stand up for others, aren't you afraid to become a joke, dodge, let me come!"
