Kong Ming's expression was still gloomy: "Kusmanu's caravan, including himself, has a total of nineteen people, of which ten are his retinue who set out from Persia, six are the escort warriors he recruited in the Tocharian country, and three are the Tibetans who joined halfway. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But in the Langa Temple, there are only eighteen corpses, and there is a Tocharian warrior who is not among them, and that person is missing! ”

"The master is convinced?"

Kong Ming nodded: "The old man thinks that the Tocharian warrior took away the Buddha's true body relics. It's just that the old man is puzzled, why didn't he go far away, but returned to Chang'an City with the Buddha's bones! ”

"Beyond that, are there any other clues?" Bu Yunfei asked.

"No more!" Kong Ming sighed.

Bu Yunfei breathed a long sigh of relief.

Kong Ming didn't know that Bu Yunfei was on the scene!

Now it seems that he invited Bu Yunfei to the meditation room and had a long talk, no matter what the purpose was, he did not suspect Bu Yunfei. Today, all this is indeed just a coincidence.

It's just that night, Bu Yunfei clearly saw that the ambusher wearing a wolf-shaped mask was extremely decisive and left no one alive, and everyone in the caravan died in the Langa Temple, and no one escaped. Kong Ming claimed that one person left alive, which is really incredible.

Bu Yunfei was puzzled, but he didn't dare to say it clearly.

Kong Ming continued: "There is something unknown about the old man. Judging from the scene of the ambush at Langa Temple, the ambushers attacked extremely quickly, and Kusmanu's caravan was attacked almost unsuspectingly, and almost without resistance, the entire army was annihilated. However, there was one Tocharian warrior who was able to escape this ambush. The old man thought that there was only one possibility, and that the Tocharian warrior had left before the ambush took place. However, the Tocharian warriors have always been faithful, how can they turn their backs on their masters and flee from the battle? ”

Tocharian is located in the south of the Amu Darya River, bordering Persia, is a small country in the Western Regions, the capital is the city of Azu, and it is thousands of miles away from Chang'an. During the Zhenguan period, the Tocharian kingdom was forced by Persian pressure to seek refuge in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty set up the Yueshi Governor's Mansion and appointed the king of Tocharian as the governor. In other words, the king of Tocharian was a subordinate of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tocharian people are fierce, and the Tocharian warriors are strong, tall, good at fighting, and, most rarely, abide by their faith. He is a famous mercenary in the Western Regions. They take people's money to help people eliminate disasters, and when the master's family is in danger, these hired Tocharian warriors will stand up and never retreat, even if they die in battle, they will not hesitate to flee from the battle, which is the greatest shame for the Tocharian warriors, not only for themselves to be humiliated, but also for their families. Over time, the Tocharian warriors made a reputation, and the caravans that traveled from Persia to the Tang Dynasty were willing to hire the Tocharian warriors as escorts. This has almost become an industry in Tocharia, bringing huge profits to this small country in the Western Regions every year.

Bu Yunfei suddenly remembered that when he escaped from Langa Temple, there was a big man lying on the steps at the door, and there was still a trace of breath!

The big man was seriously injured, and he lost too much blood, he was already angry, and he couldn't stay up for long, Bu Yunfei gave him some white medicine, in fact, it was just that Bu Yunfei couldn't bear to see death and didn't save him, so he gave himself a little psychological comfort. Bu Yunfei didn't expect that big man to survive at all!

Could it be that the big man really came back to life?

If so, then the Great Han should be the only surviving Tocharian warrior in the Kusmanu caravan!

He did not flee from the battle, but after being seriously injured, he recovered his vitality, and then, with the Buddha's true body relics, left the Langa Temple!

Kong Ming said: "The old man ordered people to visit everywhere, hoping to find the living Tocharian warrior, but found nothing. ”

"Master doesn't have to worry, since the Buddha bone has returned to Chang'an, isn't it the will of heaven! Ji people have their own natural appearance, and it won't be long before the Buddha's bones will naturally return to the Great Ci'en Temple! Bu Yunfei said, and said to Kong Ming: "Master, it's not too early, I should also go back to collect the stall, it's not appropriate to disturb me, please forgive me." ”

Bu Yunfei finally got rid of his involvement, he just wanted to stay out of the matter, and he really didn't want to continue this topic.

Kong Ming waved his hand and said, "Sit down for a while, the old man still has something to say." ”

Bu Yunfei was upset, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to say patiently: "Master, please speak." ”

Kong Ming said: "Just now, Kong regret was reckless in his words and deeds, offended the donor, and injured the donor, and the old man apologized to the two donors here." It's just that the Buddha's true body relics are related to the life and death of my Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and I ask the main body to forgive me for the difficulties of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and bear with me. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the Buddha's bones are very important, and it is reasonable for Master Empty Regret to be anxious and heavy. I think if Fang Ruoxu knew what happened, he wouldn't blame the master. If there is nothing to do, step will leave. ”

Bu Yunfei hated to fly out of this Great Mercy and Grace Temple immediately, where was he impatient to listen to the old monk's nagging.

Kong Ming is not unhurried: "Step donor, although today's matter, although it is abrupt, it is also the donor and my Great Mercy and Grace Temple." I see that Mr. Bu has a clear bone, is smart and agile, has a lot of wisdom, and has a lot of intensive research on Buddhism, so he must be a destined person. This morning, Mr. Bu came to help, to help my Great Mercy Temple through a crisis, as the saying goes, save people to the end, send the Buddha to the West, the Buddha's true body relics, the old man only has a cheeky face, implore Mr. Bu to help again! ”

Bu Yunfei was depressed, he had long expected that Kong Ming would not only apologize to Bu Yunfei for the theft of the Buddha's true body relics, but also something. Bu Yunfei originally thought that before Kong Ming didn't say anything, he got up and said goodbye, left the Great Ci'en Temple, and flew away to avoid this muddy water, but now it seems that he can't go.

Bu Yunfei had to fight his spirit, and arched his hand and said: "The master is polite, Bu Mou was taken in by the Great Ci'en Temple, if there is something in the Great Ci'en Temple, the master just orders, and the disciple must do his best." It's just that the Buddha's true body relics, the disciple is really helpless, it is a Buddha treasure and a national treasure, and the disciple has no chance to meet at all, let alone understand the origin. ”

Kong Ming smiled: "Don't shirk the donor first, in fact, for Mr. Bu, this is not a difficult matter." The old man just begged Mr. Bu to continue to set up a stall outside the west wall to write, and still go back to the west courtyard shed to rest at night, everything is as usual, if Mr. Bu hears any rumors, encounters any embarrassing people, you can quickly come to the temple to inform the old man, other things, the old man does not dare to force. Of course, please keep Mr. Bu tight-lipped and don't let the donor know. ”

Kong Ming wants Bu Yunfei to be an informant for the Great Ci'en Temple.

The Great Mercy Grace Temple lost the Buddha's bones, and the temple sent monks to inquire around, but the monks acted with many inconveniences. First, the monks are too conspicuous; Second, the monk came forward to inquire about the news, which is equivalent to three hundred taels of silver here, telling the world that something happened in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple. Three, this kind of news can only be inquired about by the people of the three religions and nine streams on the rivers and lakes, and the monks and the people in the rivers and lakes are always separated by a layer, and it is not easy to deal with them. Therefore, the monks sent by the monastery always shy back from their actions, and after two months of inquiry, they did not find any useful news.

So, Kong Ming had long wanted to find a layman to help investigate, but this matter was very important, and Kong Ming didn't dare to entrust others easily, and when he met Bu Yunfei today, he decided that Bu Yunfei was a good candidate.

Bu Yunfei was originally a blind stream, and he was also a word stall gentleman, wandering around the market, not attracting attention, and being able to contact all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes, etc., it was easy to listen to the news, and it would not arouse suspicion. More importantly, Kong Ming knows that this Bu Yunfei is different from the ordinary blind stream, he is familiar with Buddhism, and he is extremely adaptable, very clever, and he has saved the Great Ci'en Temple once, and he will not be detrimental to the Da Ci'en Temple.

Bu Yunfei was reluctant in his heart!

The theft of the Buddha's real body relics is a shocking case, and sooner or later, the paper of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple will not be able to contain the fire, and it will reach the ears of the imperial court. Entangled in such a case, there are endless troubles. Even if Bu Yunfei has nothing to do with this matter, he is not willing to wade into this troubled water, not to mention, the matter of Langa Temple, and his share, once the court investigates it, he will not be able to get out of it.

"Master, the disciple is just a wanderer, with no talent and no virtue, I am afraid that I will miss a big thing!" Bu Yunfei said.

Empty regret said in a deep voice: "If the donor is willing to do this, my Great Mercy and Grace Temple will have a good reward; If he refused, the Great Ci'en Temple did not dare to force it, but the abbot had already told the donor about the matter, so he had to ask the donor to live in the temple for a longer period of time. ”

"Empty repentance must not be rude!" Kong Ming said slowly: "Step donor, don't hide it, Lao Qu faintly perceives the Buddha's light today, and it is in the square in front of the Great Ci'en Temple!" It's just that the Buddha's light is faint and fleeting, and the old man can't grasp it. It happened that the donor and the donor strayed into the hall of Pranya, and the old man thought, could this be the guidance of the Buddha? The search for the Buddha's bones fell on the two donors? ”

Bu Yunfei was depressed, that Kong Ming said some nonsense about the fate of the Buddha's light, which made people believe it or not!
