Qiao Wen stopped at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, thinking all the way, when the son is still in the Tao today, the people under his subordinates are chasing the wind, and the disciple is called the disciple of the sect master, so that it is out of control. In the past five years, Buddhist interpretation has lost its glory, and it is difficult to compete with it. Listening to Pang Yuyan, the incense here is prosperous, and the whole county has more houses for the Buddha or Guanyin statue, he thought of this, and couldn't help but want to see the master who can train Pang Yu so capable, and the Buddhism is profound.

Qiao steadily climbed the stairs, the green wood towered to the sky, winding dozens of stone steps, three steps and a platform, in line with the ceremony of three kneeling and nine knocks, along the two sides of the incense candle burning traces, it seems that the believers' pious words are true. In front of the mountain gate where the three gates of Dengda stand side by side, I saw a smiling Maitreya Bodhisattva offering to the middle gate, and each side of each side hugged the size of the blue cypress, and replaced the town stone green lion of the general temple. He looked up, the mountain gate is a three-layer mountain single eaves ancient wooden structure, the banner stone carved with the "ancient temple Yuanshan Temple Record" and other complicated seal ancient style, after the whole view, has brought out the long history of the Buddhist temple antique.

Qiao Wen didn't know if he wanted to alarm the monks who patrolled the temple, and he didn't know the situation of the thieves in the temple, so it was inevitable that he would startle the snakes, and it would be difficult to hunt down the birds and beasts if they were scattered. Therefore, the mountain gate does not enter, walk across the tree body, take stock of the treetops, look at it, the whole temple hall is built in sight. At this time, the crescent moon is winded, bent like an eyebrow, and under the soft light, the halls of Yuanshan Temple are even more revealing the breath of Buddha and Puze.

Qiao Wen slightly estimated the distance between the east wing of the drum tower in the mountain gate hall, took out the "prison rope" of the waist wrapping around the waist and "catching the fast seven followers", tied a set of horse knots, and waited for the clouds to cover the moonlight, flew across the sky, threw out the rope with his hand, and the rope extended the eaves of the trap, and the force collapsed, and Qiao Wen floated over. He waited close to the building, pointed to the wall, his body reverberate, his hand retracted the rope, his waist turned upside down, and after a series of movements, he climbed to the highest place in the whole temple, the top of the eaves of the drum tower.

Qiao Wenzheng was screaming and sneaking in unconsciously, but found that a strong sense came from the distance behind his back, he turned around and followed the direction, looking towards the bell tower in the west wing of the opposite corner, and the feeling of being thorned in the sky suddenly disappeared. Could it be that his mind is out of balance, Qiao Wen thought about it, and rubbed the dantian between his eyebrows, woke up, and concocted it in the same way, this time the rope sleeve hooked the high eaves corner of the Heavenly King Palace, and then his body slid down and easily came to the top of the Heavenly King Palace. Qiao was lying on the sulfur glazed tiles, slowly retracting the rope around his waist, and his eyes had already seen the three statues of the Buddha in the Daxiong Hall with gold powder sculpting the "past and present life and the next life".

He saw the Buddha twice and did not want to worship, not all did not believe in the Buddha, but also knew the number of rituals of the night Buddha taboo, was confused, was in the center of the temple, but there was no suspicious place to find, suddenly that familiar sense returned, this time flickering, roughly located in the meditation hall after the Daxiong Hall in the Dharma hall complex. It seems that this person moves because of Qiao's steady movement, has the intention to guide him, and the breath is controlled and released freely, so that people know it, and it is difficult to determine where he is. Qiao Wen sighed, it seems that the little Songjiang City is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Qiao Wen had the confidence to be as stable as Mount Tai, what to fear, as he wished, he slipped down to the ground, and came to the first meditation room along the left aisle. He used Xuan Gong, and his audio-visual and tactile spirit officer was greatly improved, and he began to play hide and seek with this mysterious person. The two chased inside and outside the complex, if you chase quickly, I will run away, and if they are slow, neither side can shake off, and they can't chase. Unconsciously, after a cup of tea, I came to a special place, and the breath of the mysterious person could not be sensed.

The place where Qiao Wenguan is located is an empty courtyard, far away from the surrounding neighboring houses, which should be the burning Buddha hall of this temple. Outside the hall stands an incense burner with two rings of ears and three tripods, the smoke is curling, the white curtain of worship in the hall is fluttering, the lotus candle shadow on the table of the spiritual platform is shining, and the three purple and black coffins parked under the stage are reflected in the flickering light and darkness. There is also a monk kneeling on the futon in front of the mourning hall, which is to keep the night of the spiritual sacrifice for the person who sets the spirit, the wooden fish in his hand stops knocking, the prayer beads do not turn, although the mouth moves, but he falls asleep soundly. He should know that this monk is not a mysterious person, and he will continue to hold the spirit official and open it all, lock this suspicious and hidden place within a radius of ten zhang, and if there is a slight movement, he will be able to capture something.

As soon as Qiao Wen saw the number of three coffins, he immediately thought that Sun Buer, who was codenamed "Pomegranate" in the dark flower earlier, was because he owed the mantissa of the three coffins, and caused trouble for the coffin shop owner, so as to leave Qiao Wen and them a clue to trace, the ghost mound in the pond. He approached the hall and stood behind the monk, who was completely unaware and seemed to know no martial arts. Under the dark light, I saw that the tablets on the lids of the three coffins were written "the position of the first husband Qin Gongtian He", "the position of his yuan with the Qin family's Fangfang", and "the position of his son Qin Gongtian Gui". As he thought, it was the same family buried in the organ tomb found in the ghost mound in the hidden pond.

Qiao Wen has handled countless cases, and has never been deceived by superficial phenomena and hidden behind the dark essence, since this monk is keeping vigil here, he must know a lot about what happened, so he patted him on the shoulder and woke him up: "Monk, wake up!" ”。

The monk returned to his soul in a dream, his hands were in a hurry, the wooden fish was knocked again, the prayer beads were twisted again, and the mouth was amiable: "Uncle Shi is not responsible, I have recited the Diamond Sutra nine hundred and eighty-one times in Mingsheng, and I am not lazy, I continue to exceed." ”

Qiao Wen saw that he must have mistakenly thought that the night patrol elders found out that he was lazy and wanted to scold him for dozing off, so he showed his waist card and said with a secret smile: "Little Master Mingsheng, don't be afraid, I am not your uncle, and I won't tell them that you are deserting." I'm from the government, so let's look back. ”

Mingsheng turned to look at Qiao Wen's pale hair and silver beard, as well as a pair of blazing and convincing eyes, so he got up and called a Buddha: "The donor is polite, little monk... The little monk was foolish for a while, mistaking the donor for my uncle, guilty of sin. Then he pointed to Qiao Wen's waist card and continued, "This, the poor monk has seen it, my senior brother, Pang Yu has one, it is really a Buddha who is destined to do!" ”

It turned out that this Mingsheng Xiao Shami was an orphan taken in by the former abbot and had always been assigned to cook with firewood in the kitchen fan. Three years ago, Pang Yu's master and apprentice traveled here to spend the night, and the two were both orphans, and they became good friends at first sight. Although Mingsheng has superb cooking skills, he is not good at Buddhist cultivation, and the Diamond Sutra only reads about the first 100 words. This time I was able to put on a formal monk's robe, knock on the wooden fish and twist the Buddhist beads and recite the Buddhist scriptures, which is a rare time in many years. He had already made up his mind that as long as this person did not tell the matter to the complaint, he would honestly answer all questions.

Qiao Wen didn't know the complicated thoughts of this little Shuimi, since he knew Pang Yu, he saved his identity and functions, and asked directly: "Little master, the old man's surname is Qiao, can you tell me who set up this mourning hall and when?" After a pause, he said, "You don't want to be in Buddhist language, just say it." Just now, Qiao Wen was almost confused by his words.

Ming Sheng wished that Qiao Wen would say this, and was distressed, the Buddhist Zen language he was familiar with was not used much, and only the name of Tianlong Babu was useless. Now he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "I don't know who it is, but the abbot has always received it himself, but the person with the three coffins on the stretcher was brought in to the sacrificial hall by me. ”

"When?" Qiao Wen then asked Mingsheng.

"It was around last morning's morning class."

Qiao Wen estimated that it was the time when the dog master was chasing the Zhou family's grandmother, so he said, "You can talk about it carefully." "He certainly didn't want to miss any clues.

Ming Sheng recalled while saying slowly: "The little monk is the fireman in the temple kitchen, and after making breakfast, the uncle ordered to go to the side gate of the temple to pick up those who carry the coffin to the sacrifice hall, saying that he is going to set up a mourning hall for the donor to do the ......."

Qiao Wen heard this and thought that the coffin is a taboo thing, not the main door can not enter, the side door is close to the kitchen, a group of temples are like this, it is convenient to go down the mountain to buy firewood, rice, oil and salt and other daily needs, I think that the sacrificial hall and the kitchen are necessary to connect, if it is a dark flower to participate in it, it is more reasonable and unreasonable, and it is a cover.

"After they first placed the coffin in the hall, they brought in all the burning paper, and it was still full of eight carts." Qiao Wen had already thought that it must have been used by the Tiger Palace's unseen wheelbarrow found in Diaoyu Flower Lane.

"After the transport, I took them out, past the kitchen patio, they took the initiative to ask for a break, I think it was close to the side door anyway, and told them to rest enough to go out on their own, and then I went into the kitchen and was busy with things." Mingsheng also said all the words of 1510, with less Buddhist words, and it was really much smoother.

When Qiao Wen heard the word patio, he asked, "Is there a water patio in the kitchen patio?" ”

"Yes, yes, but it's a dry well, usually covered with stone slabs." Mingsheng thought for a while and added, "Our temples all use spring water from mountain streams. ”

Qiao Wen secretly thought that this was right, under the well must be another exit from the secret passage of the tomb, and the dark flower thieves must transport dirty things from here, as easily as others pushing a wheelbarrow out of the temple.

"Does Lord Qiao suspect that the guy who carried the coffin here is a bad person? Do you want to report it to the abbot first...... "No matter how stupid Mingsheng is, he knows that something is wrong with these people."

Qiao Wen was thinking while Mingsheng was talking, the dog master followed closely, he would get clues, according to the fast hand rule, if the thief is under control, he will return if he finds out, and then make a decision, why is it just that the spirit dog rushed back for help? Could it be that ...... in those three coffins? Thinking of this, I just heard Ming Sheng continue, "He should practice in front of the statue of Wei Tuo now, and I can take the benefactor there." Qiao Wenshi smiled at him, and suddenly his fingertips were already brushing the back of Mingsheng's head, and Mingsheng fainted.

Qiao Wen straightened him back to the futon, and said to himself, "Little monk, it's none of your business, let's get a good night's sleep." After speaking, the three palms were lowered, the three coffins were opened together, and the coffin lid was turned to the side, only to see that there were two men and one woman in the clothes from left to right, and there was no human body. Qiao Wen stroked his silver beard, and then he put his mind at ease, just now he was really worried that the dog master would be killed and his body was hidden in the coffin.

At this moment, Qiao Wen heard a strange movement, it must be a mysterious person who saw Qiao Wen's unusual behavior and accidentally exuded a trace of aura. His phantom arm rose without warning, seemingly waving his sleeves at will, but it was a move in the "Seven Captures, Seven Vertical and Seven Tang Hands", "vertical and horizontal capture", with a bang, five deep wood mark claw marks suddenly appeared on the lower edge of the roof beam, raising a thick layer of dust, and the force transmitted the strength of the wood through the air, and a black shadow vibrated out of the hidden place of the house at the same time, and he flipped his whole body and flew towards the skylight of the side wall.

The mysterious man saw the wall, and the hand was light on the upper edge of the skylight, and the person was like a loach and stretched through the small skylight to the outside of the house, only to hear two crisp sounds, Qiao Wen went out of the house to see, only to see that the mysterious person had bent his knees on the high eaves corner and vacated the air, and actually imitated Qiao Wen's style of "controlling the air volley", this person made it silent, and after several light exercises in the air, it had fallen into the dark room group in the distance.

Qiao Wen's move that can be compared with the "dragon claw hand" of the thirty-six rooms of Shaolin Temple has been merciful, although he has tossed with the mysterious person for half a night, whether he is intentional or not, it can be regarded as secretly helping, and there is no need to be heavy-handed. In the house, the mysterious person who was neither friend nor foe instantly shrank his bones was already familiar, until he saw that he disappeared outside the house, and the identity of this person was confirmed. can't help but sigh secretly, no wonder he would play the game of catching thieves with himself, and the reason why he couldn't hide. Why is this person in a small town and a small temple, is it really to avoid its edge and stay away from the capital here. He couldn't figure it out, and he was so angry that he couldn't follow them all.

It turns out that the mysterious person on the beam is a self-proclaimed person who has a full glimpse of the world's light skills, and has the ability to steal treasures in the world, and the thief "Yu Keer" from the empty family has a five-year gambling contract with Qiao Wen who is not allowed to commit crimes in the capital. Just now, the light skills of the various factions, including the introductory light skills of the rivers and lakes "Dragonfly Three Copying Water", the Kunlun faction's "Eight Steps to Catch the Toad", the Emei faction's "Glimpse of Light" and the Wudang faction's "Steady Steps", is Yu Keer's consistent style of raising his name, and also using Qiao Wen's famous skills, which is a provocation to tell him that the five-year period is approaching, and it seems that the safety of the capital is in danger.

Qiao Wenxian watched him fly away, but he abandoned and did not chase him, all because although Yu Ke'er was Qiao Wen's opponent in public and private, the first task now was to track down the Dark Flower Thieves and others, and the most necessary thing at present was to find the dry well in the courtyard of the temple kitchen as Ming Sheng said, and see if he could get to the front of the Dark Flower Thieves' plan.

Qiao Wen walked out of here, and after a short distance of the straight road, he saw the words "Xiangji Kitchen", the roof has a unique kitchen chimney, the hay bundles and wooden strips outside the house are stacked neatly, and the firewood knife is leaning against the wall. He walked into the corner patio and immediately saw a dry well with a flat limestone cap, no water grab, and a three-story high well. He did not hesitate to pile up the stone slabs, took out the fire fold and shook the well, but it was pitch black and did not reach the bottom. He coughed lightly twice and went down to the bottom of the well, and according to the sound echo, it has been preliminarily judged that the well is more than three zhang deep, and the wall is firm and there is no ventilation. Voice-activated hand test is one of Qiao Wen's ten stable styles of handling and investigating cases, so he resumed the technique of "vertical and horizontal capture", and secretly used Xuangong palm and claw to press, this time it was different from the situation in the backyard of Songjiang Mansion, with a bang, it stirred up countless dust and fallen leaves to rush to the wellhead, and the air was filled with a choking sour and scorching stench.

Qiao Wen secretly sighed that it was not good, what he didn't want to see the last thing that happened, the dog master was embarrassed by life and death. This smell comes from the forbidden things in the rivers and lakes, and the corpses are scattered, which is the special use of the destruction of corpses in the lower five gates. He held his breath and swam down with his back to the well, at the beginning of the foot touched the wall of the well smoothly, and then suddenly felt that the heel was blocked, and he jumped down when he was in the air, and the ground was soft.

Qiao Wen's hand illuminated the well, only to see the walls full of depressions, black blood splashing into the walls, and his eyes were frightened, you can imagine the fierceness and severity of the fierce battle experienced here. The scars of the seventy-two road judges' pen points, knocks, nests, interceptions, and violent moves made by the dog's dry tobacco stick are all on the wall, as well as the sharp arcs and cone-shaped holes in it, which must be caused by the ghostly weapon of the woman in Tsing Yi "Mandarin Duck Straddling the Tiger Basket". He looked at the traces of the two people's weapons that were heavily injured on the wall, and knew the depth of their martial arts, the success or failure of this battle, and his mind melted into the line of the woman in green clothes like flowing water, and under the special advantage of the dark and narrow bottom of the well, he completely restrained the close interception of the dog master.

Qiao Wen walked all the way around the wall to see the marks, while touching and kicking with his hands, but there was no hidden channel switch to find, it seems that this mechanism is opened in one direction, controlled by the tunnel, it can be estimated that the dark flower thief will be exposed here sooner or later, and the first step will be permanently closed or completely destroyed. He was helpless, and when he imagined the thieves running away with a wheelbarrow full of dirt and disappearing into the unknown mountain road, he became angry and slammed his palm against the wall to vent his anger.

Qiao Wen picked up the search at the bottom of the well, left the only remaining half of the dry tobacco stick, and suddenly grieved inexplicably, the pain of losing his colleagues, smelling the faint fragrance of smoke emitted by the cigarette nest, and I don't know if it is the soul of the dog master who is free from the world and has no bones. Qiao Wen gecko swam in the wall well, after coming out of the well, he vomited turbidity, regained his mood, and the dark flower clue was broken, and the death of the dog's colleague did not make it mourn, but aroused his ambition to be young, and vowed to kill all the dark flower thieves. He looked up at the sky, the moon shadow under the string no light, the four watches of the day, at this time just came to the temple drum tower more drumming four times, the so-called drum change, hit the bell to announce the morning, the Buddhist temple a new day began again. Qiao Wen thought that it was also time to officially visit the abbot of the temple.

Qiao Wen walked out of here, returned the same way, passed through the meditation room of the Buddhist hall, and heard the sound of wooden fish and chanting Sanskrit sound one after another, and the morning lectures of the monks. He passed through the east side of the aisle, around the side door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall entered, and saw a small novice hall standing under the pillar, holding a red-background swastika gold-edged abbot's robe, and outside the hall, a middle-aged monk with a nine-incense scar was wearing a short warrior monk's jacket, waving his fists and feet, it seems that this person is what Mingsheng said just now, the presiding abbot who will practice in front of the statue of Wei Dao, the fruitless master. Although the abbot did not practice the practice of Wei Daozhang who had a glimpse of the Shaolin doorway, he also knew that the boxing was not disturbed, and the number of rivers and lakes to avoid the practice was just the fourth move of Wei Daozhang's "Boundless Dharma", and there were four moves before the practice was completed, so he was relieved to appreciate the statue of the Buddha in front of him, the statue of Wei Dao Tianshen enshrined in the apse of the King of Heaven.

Qiao Wen visited the Buddhist temples in the past, and listened to the explanation of the monks, Wei Tuo held the vajra in his hand, or put his hands together, and put the treasure pestle on both wrists; Either the right hand is crossed at the waist, and the left hand holds the tip of the pestle on the ground. According to the rules of Buddhism, the front and back postures are exquisite, in order to show whether to welcome the wandering monks and nuns from all directions to stay. And this statue of Wei Dao is the second, the rigid body is twisted as if moving, the arms are swinging and the pestle is about to strike, the majestic head is contemptuous and sideways, and the body is wearing armor and flying. Qiao Wen sighed and watched, standing in front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, smelling the fragrance of the Buddha, looking at the sky under the moon, the lifelike, elegant and expressive statue of Wei Dao, I can't help but render it, as if baptism in the righteousness of the Buddha.
