Ma Chao reported to Lin Yi about the situation of the officers and soldiers of the Division, when Lin Yi learned that everything was on the right track, and the soldiers were also seizing the time to train, he was very relieved, and said a few words of encouragement to Ma Chao, and as he was talking, he heard the sound of footsteps, and a servant hurriedly ran in to report: "My lord, something happened!" The golden body of Maitreya Buddha in the big Buddha temple in Zhengding Mansion, last night suddenly put a golden light on his head, and there were ants on his chest to spell out the eight big characters of 'Maitreya descended into the world, the world is Yongchang', and now the streets and alleys of Zhengding Mansion, the people of the whole city, everyone is talking about this matter! ”

Lin Yi was about to ask, only to hear the official preach again: "My lord, in addition to the miracle of Maitreya Buddha's appearance of the Buddha's light, there is also a nursery rhyme circulating on the street, called 'There is no firewood on the mountain, the sages come to plant trees, thousands of people are alive, and Ze is long for generations!'" There are already ignorant people whispering, saying that my Great Zhou Qi is exhausted, and the new Zi Weixing has descended to earth, and is about to replace the bastard of Great Zhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Yikes! This is public opinion propaganda for the rebellion! Hehe! 'No more firewood on the mountain?' Who doesn't know that the royal surname is Chai, which is an allusion to today's royal family. 'The sages come to plant trees,' Maitreya Sect leader Song Xian carried a virtuous character, which just corresponded to this sentence. 'There are thousands of living people, and Ze is long for thousands of generations', doesn't this make it clear, does Song Xian want to appear as a savior and seize the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Zhou Dynasty? All right! Maitreya? You finally can't hold back anymore and are ready to rebel! It seems that the time for a showdown between Lord Ben and them is coming soon.

Lin Yi's expression was solemn, he thought for a while, and ordered: "You immediately take people to the whole city to post notices, prohibiting anyone from singing nursery rhymes again, once discovered, the parents will catch it, and punish him for the crime of gangsters, and the child will whip him ten times!" Go for it! ”

"It's my lord!" The official agreed, and hurriedly ran outside to give orders.

Lin Yi stood up with a solemn expression and said to Ma Chao and the others: "Brother Ma, Brother Zheng, it seems that the Maitreya Sect bandits are about to rebel!" Immediately call our brethren to make all preparations in secret, and to make sure that the military power of the Tihar Division is firmly in our hands. That's right! Brother Zheng Jie, you hurry up and ride a fast horse south, go to greet Mr. Zhang, and tell everyone to hurry up. And also! Prepare a team of men and horses for me to go with me to the Great Buddha Temple, and this mansion will go to see with my own eyes the miracle of their so-called Buddha's light manifestation. ”

In the cavalry battalion of the Ti Shi Division, in the morning, Ma Chao had already been sent to the foot of Qinglong Mountain to harass and monitor the bandits on the mountain, and all that was left in the city was some infantry, and they had to guard the four gates and the city walls, and step up training. Lin Yi took into account that the Big Buddha Temple was only more than 20 miles away from the city and close to the city, so he only brought a team of soldiers and eight officials to go together, and in order to be on the safe side, he also ordered the pillar to ride a fast horse, preparing to run back immediately if there was a storm.

After walking for more than an hour, the Big Buddha Temple was already close in front of me. Lin Yi got off the sedan chair, raised his head to look, and saw a majestic mountain gate, hanging a horizontal stone plaque, with three big characters of "Big Buddha Temple" written on it, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, very good-looking. Looking inside, the treasure hall is majestic, the cigarette smoke is swirling, and the Sanskrit sound of the monks is heard from time to time. In front of the temple gate, there are crowds of people, there are many good men and women who come to pay homage to the miracles, one by one they hold incense and candles, and they go to the temple respectfully, and there are two devout believers, bow and bow on the road, kowtow to the temple.

"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost, Lao Tzu is the best, today Lord Ben will also play two little tricks to show you, and make your so-called miracles messy, so that they can't make their wishes come true." Lin Yi raised his face, smiled, and ordered the pillar to step forward and tell the monk guarding the door, saying that the prefect was here and asked their host to come out to meet.

The monk guarding the door, after looking at Lin Yi's clothes, the style of the whole body and the majestic posture, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran in to pass through, and after a while, a man in his thirties was wearing a big red robe

The monks, with seven or eight monks, ran out quickly together and stood still in front of Lin Yi.

The monk who was the leader looked at Lin Yi a few times, bowed down and saluted: "Amitabha! The poor monk Yilong, who is the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, has seen the prefect. ”

Lin Yi returned the salute with him and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Master Yilong, I didn't expect you to become the abbot of such a big temple at such a young age, it's really amazing!" Most of the abbots I've seen before are old monks, and I haven't seen anyone as young as you! ”

Yilong smiled, bowed down and said: "This is the previous abbot's love for the poor monk, in fact, the poor monk is not so high-level cultivation. Adults are guests from afar, so please go to the abbot for tea. After that, let Lin Yi and his party into the temple, lead the way in front of his head, and lead him to the abbot.

Lin Yi walked more than a dozen steps and pondered: "Why did this miracle appear in the Great Buddha Temple?" Which assassin died that night, some officials said that they had seen it in the Great Buddha Temple, and if they drank his tea, it would be difficult to deal with any poison, so it was better not to eat or drink anything from him. Thinking of this, he stopped, and Yilong said: "Master Abbot, this house is busy with official business, today I came to the Big Buddha Temple, one is to visit, and the other is actually to pay tribute to the miracle of the Buddha's appearance. ”

Yilong's face was stunned, and then he smiled and said: "My lord is resolute and resolute, saving the people of Zhengding Mansion from fire and water, he is really a good official!" The monks did not dare to delay the adult's business, so they took the adult to visit and visit the temple! With that, lead Lin Yi to the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

Lin Yi followed behind a dragon, first saluted the Buddha in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and then went to the 30-meter-high Great Compassion Pavilion to visit the thousand-armed Guanyin Bodhisattva more than seven zhang high, and then walked to the Maitreya Buddha Hall where the so-called miracle appeared.

The Maitreya Buddha Hall of the Big Buddha Temple is a side hall, but even so, it is also a tall hall and very solemn. In front of the Maitreya Buddha Hall, there is a wide small square, the square is full of men, women and children who come to worship, everyone is cross-legged, sitting on the ground, chanting the Diamond Sutra in a low voice, and the expression is very pious.

Lin Yi stood up and asked an old man who had just sat down, "Old uncle, you have participated in the Buddha, why don't you leave, but you are reciting the Diamond Sutra here?" ”

The old man replied respectfully: "My lord doesn't know, according to the monks in the temple, if you want the Buddha to be effective and bless the believers with a safe life, you have to recite the Diamond Sutra a hundred times outside the temple to be effective?" So I'm going to recite the Diamond Sutra here and bless my family with a safe life! With that, he sat down and began to recite the scriptures. (To be continued.) )
