This time, she personally flipped through Buddhist texts with a realistic attitude, looking for more clues about Shakti and Kinara. For this matter, she stayed in the meditation room of Anguo Temple that night, and only sent Adan back to report it.

She looked at it all night, but she still had no clue, and in the early morning of the next day, when Xiling Yue was almost about to give up, she finally saw a Buddhist allusion about Kinara-

The story is about a group of robbers who came to a certain temple to rob the house, endangering the Three Treasures Dojo, and the monks in the temple could not think of a plan to retreat from the enemy, and they were extremely distressed. At this moment, a gang leader suddenly jumped out of the house, wielding a shovel for stir-frying vegetables and driving the robbers out of the temple. After retreating from the enemy, the head monk held a shovel and shouted, "I am the Bodhisattva of the Great Sage King Kinara", and then passed away.

Since then, Kinnara has formed a good relationship with the gangfang, and is worshiped by the monks as the "messenger of fasting", and each temple has enshrined his portrait on the stove to ensure the safety of the.

Kinara, Quarters, Kitchen Knives, Vegetable Oil...... Xiling Yue couldn't help but perk up!

After having breakfast at Anguo Temple, she returned all the classics to Zen Master Guangxuan, and was about to leave when she met Xiao Yi outside the temple gate.

The latter had a look of concern: "Yue'er, you should also pay attention to your body when investigating the case, I heard that you didn't return yesterday night." ”

Although Xilingyue stayed awake all night, she was still in good spirits, and she yawned and smiled at him: "Okay, okay, I still have to go somewhere, are you willing to come with me?" ”

"It's still early, where are you going?"

"You'll know if you go, you won't be able to catch up if it's too late!"

Xiling Moon refers to the "corridor meal" after the hundred officials dispersed the dynasty.

During the Zhenguan period of Taizong, the Tang Dynasty opened the rule of the world, the Son of Heaven sympathized with the regular officials and went to the court, and had no time to have breakfast, so he would give food after each regular visit to the court, so that the hundred officials gathered under the hall corridor to eat, so it was called "corridor meal". Only the officials of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province are close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and the public offices of the two provinces are equipped with stove kitchens, so they do not participate in the "corridor meal".

Since Emperor Taizong set the rule of "corridor meal", for more than 100 years, every time the officials who regularly visit Japan have to enjoy this meal, they will go to the official office to start a busy day.

Although the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as before, and the center of imperial power has also moved from Taiji Palace to Daming Palace, the tradition of the Son of Heaven giving food has been preserved, even if it costs a lot of money every year, no Son of Heaven has ever proposed to cancel the "Corridor Meal", and the weight of this meal can be seen.

Today is October 19, which is the day when officials above the third grade go to the pilgrimage on the first day, fifth and ninth of the month, and Xiling Yue is to seize the opportunity for them to disperse the court and find someone under the food corridor.

As early as today, when Li Chun handed over the case of An Cheng to her, he had already given a special order allowing her to enter the palace at any time to report the case. Therefore, she and Xiao Yi did not encounter any obstacles, and smoothly entered the palace and came to the front of the Xuanzheng Palace.

It was also the luck of the two of them, at this time it happened to meet the end of the porch meal, and more than a dozen officials stood outside the Xuanzheng Hall or picked their teeth or patted their stomachs, and they were gathering together in twos and threes to discuss today's early dynasty.

Xilingyue left Xiao Yi behind and squeezed into the crowd alone, not knowing who she was looking for, in short, she was very reckless. Fortunately, Guo Jun found her in time and helped her introduce the person she was looking for.

Xiao Yi saw her and Guo Yan walk to the side of a middle-aged official from a distance, and the three of them talked for a while, and after a while, Jingzhao Yin Wu Yuanheng also came over and joined them. After that, Xilingyue said goodbye to a few people with a happy face, and hurriedly ran back.

"Let's go, go back to Anguo Temple! I've solved this case! She laughed excitedly.

An hour later, Anguo Temple's Criminal Law Hall.

Zen Master Guangxuan summoned all the monks in the room to be present, and Xiling Yue also invited Jingzhao Yin Wu Yuanheng and Wannian County Meng County Commander to come.

Everyone stared with bated breath, dozens of pairs of eyes looking at her in unison.

She looked relaxed and said unhurriedly: "The county lord and Jingzhao Mansion Wuyin Jingmengsheng took a fancy to it, and came to your temple to investigate the murder of Fusang sent Tang monk An Cheng, because of some doubts, I would like to ask all the masters present. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, their expressions were different.

Xilingyue said comfortingly: "Don't worry, the questions are very simple, you just need to answer truthfully." ”

As she spoke, she motioned for Adan to bring a tray and pointed to the key on the tray: "This is the key found in the ashes of the Venerable Master An Cheng, and it is also an important piece of physical evidence in this case. ”

"Dare to ask all the masters, what was your reaction when you heard about this?" Xiling Yue threw out the first question.

The monks present looked at each other, and some boldly said, "Naturally, the murderer wanted to ask the Venerable Master An Cheng for something, but the Venerable Master refused to give it, so he quietly swallowed the key into his belly." In a fit of rage, the murderer killed him. ”

"That's right, that's exactly what happened." Xiling Yue smiled approvingly at him, "In order to get such a thing, I didn't hesitate to kill a young Fusang monk, which shows that this thing is very important." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

Xilingyue threw out a second question: "As you all know, Master An Cheng is a Fusang person, who came to my Tang Dynasty as a scholar and monk from the Tang Dynasty, and he is alone, powerless, and powerless. So what exactly is there about him that people can covet? ”

This time, everyone didn't know.

Xilingyue was not in a hurry, and reminded everyone: "Master An Cheng arrived in Chang'an with the Tang delegation two years ago, and since then he has been traveling abroad, and his footprints have covered half of the Tang Dynasty in the past two years. He not only made many friends, but also received many gifts, this time he returned to Chang'an with dozens of cages, all of which he had traveled, and also wrote his own landscape portraits. ”

When she said this, all the monks understood. A powerless Fusang scholarly monk, there are no treasures around him at all, and the most valuable ones are probably these cages he brought back.

"Presumably, your masters, like the county lord, really can't think of anything else the murderer can get from Master An Cheng apart from these cages." When Xiling Yue said this, she didn't forget to give Wu Yuanheng a face, and turned her head to look at him, "What is Wu Yinjing's opinion?" ”

"The county lord thinks the same as this official." Wu Yuanheng nodded in agreement.

Xi Lingyue was recognized, and then threw a third question to the crowd: "Before the Venerable Master died, he swallowed the key to the west wing where the cage was stored into his abdomen, which shows that the murderer returned in vain. If you were a murderer and killed Venerable An Cheng and you didn't find anything, would you be willing? ”

"Naturally, I won't be reconciled." Someone replied, and everyone agreed.

Xilingyue was very satisfied with their cooperation: "Indeed, the murderer was not reconciled, so he came back after the death of Master An Cheng. Just a few days ago. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was panic in the Criminal Law Hall, and even Zen Master Guangxuan was panicked: "County Lord, since the death of Master An Cheng, our temple has been patrolled tightly, and no suspicious people have entered or exited. ”

"Naturally, the Zen master didn't see any suspicious people, because the murderer often came and went in and out of your temple, or rather, he was a monk in your temple." Xiling Yue was a blockbuster.

The monks in the criminal law hall were even more panicked.
