The Buddhist temple in people's impression must be far away from the mountains and forests, and there are many famous mountain monks in the world, and it is not a new thing to meet a thousand-year-old temple in the deep mountains and old forests.

The Buddhist temples of the Tang Dynasty were mostly concentrated in the city, which was related to the higher status of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, and the Buddhist monks in addition to studying the four true truths of suffering, gathering, extinguishing and Taoism, also wanted to have more performance in the society, so the Buddhist temples were built in the city in a dignified manner.

The Buddhist temple into the city was originally a tradition left by the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Du Mu in Jiankang, which is today's Nanjing, wrote "480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain", so it is not an amazing thing that more than 100 temples can be counted in Chang'an City alone.

Temples piled up in the city, most of them have participated in political purposes, such as Famen Temple, Ci'en Temple and many other famous temples, are the main places of Xuanzang's activities in the past. In the Tang Xuanzong Dynasty, the status of Buddhism was still very high, and the three great scholars of Tantric Kaiyuan were good and fearless, King Kong Zhi, and Bukong successively preached from India to Chang'an, which made the status of some temples suddenly improved, and even had some connections with the imperial examination.

This is all a digression, the temple flourished in Chang'an, and it was not only crowded in the city, like Rennes Temple, which is a relatively large temple with some status and built outside Chang'an.

The reason why it was built outside Chang'an City and its status is still so high is that this temple is for the purpose of worshiping Buddha bones, and there are really not many such temples in the Tang Dynasty. The Buddha's bones are the legendary relics, which are generally believed to be the solid objects left after the cremation of the Buddha Shakyamuni, so although this temple is remote, it has content, and a large part of the aristocratic class in the city have to come here to burn incense and worship the Buddha.

Rennes Temple is also famous because of the Buddha's bones, this time Rennes Temple specially in the name of "welcoming the Buddha's bones", held a small-scale event, Yingfeng is a major event, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty generally greeted once in 30 years, most of them are using Buddhism to manage the people.

Although the scale is very small this time, but the Rennes Temple is too famous, and the people worship the relics too much, it is said that the blind people will restore their light at a glance at the relics, and many miracles cure all diseases, so it is good to take this opportunity to burn incense and worship the Buddha.

Hu Tong, the servant of the Criminal Department, is going to take his mother and a group of family members to the Rennes Temple to pray for blessings, his mother is a faithful Buddhist believer, and she heard that this time she is going to welcome the relics, so she asked the eldest son to accompany her to incense, she knows that this son has done a lot of evil, and has not done a few good things.

Hu Tong's son, that is, his mother's grandson, was broken by Xu Zhuangyuan, and he has not been able to make a good decision, it is said that the leg is not wasted, the Hu family has two sons, but the other is not crippled but mentally retarded, and now there is such a big thing, Hu Lao's mother can only complain that Hu Tong does not do good deeds and bad retribution.

Hu Tong is the squire of the criminal department, Shangshu is the Yang Guozhong concurrently, he has followed Yang Guozhong to do a lot of unjust, false and wrongful cases over the years, and countless people have been killed, Hu Shilang didn't feel restless, damn, he killed so many people to worship the Buddha and use it as a bird, and his son was broken leg This matter is retribution, it is clearly the little horse who did it!

is also helpless, Hu Lao's mother's words have some weight, Hu Tong took more than a dozen people with his family and more than 20 guards, and then left the city.

A total of thirty or forty people, four or five carriages, mighty, very magnificent, definitely have the demeanor of a big family, no wonder Lao Hu brought so many guards, the last time he was assassinated in his own home, fortunately, he received the news in advance, but he was also a little afraid, those assassins are all dead soldiers, and their martial arts are strong, and they have run one, which has always made it difficult for Lord Hu to sleep.

This kind of assassination is indeed difficult to investigate, the key is that Lord Hu has many enemies, and most of the people who come to assassinate are here to seek revenge, but they dare to make such a big move in the capital, and they must also have some power background.

When the Hu family and his party walked outside the city gate, it happened that the city gate was very blocked, and most of them went out at this time, Hu was sitting in the car, and he picked up the curtain to take a look, but he saw a young man riding a horse on the side, but Hu Tong frowned, his eyes were full of murder, and he closed the curtain again.

This group of three people on horseback, led by our Xu Da Concubine, they went out of the city this time, of course, they also went to Naren Temple.

Xu Chen asked for a day off, and Tian Shangshu was not very reluctant, after all, Xu Yuma was a newcomer, and he needed to replenish his supplies quickly.

The purpose of asking for leave is naturally to go to this Rennes Temple, because Mr. Wang Wei personally wrote an invitation letter to ask Xu Chen to come today to discuss Buddhism.

Wang Wei, the old guy still has an official position, but has been living in seclusion in the temple for many years, few people know that this old guy is hiding in the Rennes Temple outside the city to relax, the last time Wang Wei was Xu Chen said that the mind was shocked, he was obsessed with Buddhism for several days, and now the temple is dedicated to relics, but please the little horse to come and play.

Mr. Wang has also heard a lot about Xu Yuma's affairs in the capital, he generally doesn't listen to some rumors, but people mention it every time, not to mention, Wang Wei fully affirmed and appreciated the poems written by Xu Chen, especially the legend of "Journey to the West" written by this kid, which made Mr. Wang admire.

sent an invitation, Wang Wei was a little worried about whether this child would come, Xu Juma is now famous, and his old man has long passed the time, and his status is obviously too unequal, but this little colt is very face-saving, and he will be approved immediately, which makes Mr. Wang very excited, and what he always thinks about recently is what Xu Chen said, and he is directly confused, obviously needs a symposium.

Xu Chen went out of the city and went straight to Rennes Temple, followed by two family members. For horseback riding, Xu Chen has actually never learned, he is riding slowly, I am afraid that I can't control it if it's fast, and it will be a shame if I overturn, I practiced a few times in the back garden of the princess's mansion a few times ago, and I always felt that my butt was grinding, but it made Li also laugh for several days, Wu Zhuangyuan didn't even know how to ride a horse!

The two family members are also uncomfortable to follow, this horse is similar to riding a donkey, the record book read all the way, it really makes people panic, fortunately the Rennes Temple is not far away, go out of the city to the south, just halfway up the mountain, but although the mountain is not high, the slope is very small, and the road up the mountain is a little long.

Xu Chen only cared about enjoying the scenery along the way, the first time he went out of the city, he was excited, there were a lot of pedestrians on the mountain road, basically all of them came to burn incense and worship Buddha, among which there were some beautiful and handsome men who came to ask for some marriage or something.

After riding a horse for half an hour, I finally arrived at the legendary Rennes Temple, which is indeed very large, there are five or six temples alone, and the courtyard is surprisingly large, and there is no problem to accommodate thousands of people.

The main building is probably the building that looks like Leifeng Pagoda with more than a dozen floors, Xu Chen's ass felt that it was about to bloom, so he got off the horse, let the two wait at the gate of the temple, and entered the compound.

The address given by the old man Wang Wei is a small monk's house, and it is indeed difficult to find such a large courtyard, so he wants to find a little master to inquire, but there are too many people walking back and forth, and most of the little masters have put on their hats because of the cold weather, and it is really not easy to find a bald donkey.

Xu Chen is really not interested in participating, Lai Hao is also an electrician, although the scientist is a little far away, the senior power engineer is not joking, he wandered around in the crowd for a long time, ready to find a place with few people to coordinate the overall situation, but as soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into a person.

The man also took a step back, glanced at Xu Chen, but his expression was a little flustered, Xu Chen just wanted to say sorry, and the two of them looked at each other.

This person is wearing a bearded clothes, but his face is white and pure, clearly like a very standard woman, women wear men's clothes, which is not uncommon in the Tang Dynasty, and what surprised Xu Chen was that this person looked so familiar.

"That, rudeness, rudeness," Xu Chen said.

It is indeed a woman, although Hu Fu is very wide, her chest is obviously bulging, Xu Chen is talking while thinking where has this woman seen, just a little eyebrows, but the woman turned her head and ran away.

Looking at that figure, I suddenly remembered that this woman was not the female assassin! How did she end up here?

Because this woman was always dressed in night clothes before, and every time he saw her at night, Xu Chenzha didn't expect that this woman was actually the female assassin at first, he was not worried about any danger he would have, but had already noticed that it would not be peaceful here today.

Of course, you can't arbitrarily draw conclusions, maybe this woman feels that she has done a lot of evil and killed countless people, this time maybe she came to repent and ask for blessing, of course this is impossible, this is Rennes Temple, the temple protected by the officials, there are officers and soldiers guarding the temple, and the more important thing is, of course, to protect the relics in the temple.

The woman had long since disappeared, Xu Chen scratched his head, it was really a coincidence just now, so many people actually met the female assassin, and after thinking for a while, he felt that there should be nothing wrong, even if there was something, he couldn't handle it, and more importantly, there were many monks in this temple and there were official guards, and the big chaos couldn't get out.

After turning around a few times, he finally found the monk's residence, Xu Chen followed the tips in the letter and searched one by one, but at this time he found that the compound suddenly became agitated, Xu Chen looked over and saw that dozens of people were crowded in the temple, and there were still people driving the people, and when the cadres came in, Xu Chen found that this turned out to be Hu Tong, the servant of the Criminal Department, and a group of family members......

Xu Chen frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"Xu Pony!"

Xu Chen looked back, but it was the old man Wang...... (To be continued.) )
