Chapter 563: Wuding Nunnery (5)

Finally, after spending more than half an hour, Meng Yan and his party came to the temple gate of Wuding'an.

"This is the Undator?" Looking at the temple gate with the gate closed, Liang Song felt a little incredible.

A small Wuding Nunnery, the temple actually has a seven-story tower, as well as a bell tower, it is like a large temple with a strong atmosphere.

In this barren mountain range, inaccessible land, such a splendid temple was built, and it was also a monastery for bhikshunis.

It's a bit of an incredible thing.

Meng Yan was also a little speechless, the scale of this Wuding Nunnery can accommodate hundreds of monks, such a large temple is actually built in the deep mountains, you can imagine how much financial and human resources were spent when the temple was expanded.

Meng Yan doesn't know engineering and construction, but for such a temple, the cost of transporting building materials up the mountain is an astronomical amount.

Even if it is to use local materials, it will also consume a lot of manpower.

The ancients were really great, and many of the things they did were beyond the reach of future generations, and they have been passed down and become a valuable legacy, which is even more remarkable.

"My lord, this temple must cover an area of fifty or sixty acres, who built it?" Guo Xiaochao exclaimed.

"I don't know, and I don't know which Buddhist monk built the dojo here?"

"Master Meng, what should we do?" Liang Song asked, the door is closed, you can't just bang the door to enter, this is a pure place for Buddhism, and you can't be presumptuous.

"Knock on the door, the people inside can hear you."

"Yes!"

Liang Song waved his hand, and the two subordinates behind him stepped forward, came to the temple gate, raised their fists, and knocked the heavy gate!

Knock Knock......

Inside the Buddha Hall, candlelight flickered. A group of bhikshunis, led by the old bhikshunis, were sitting upright on the futon, facing the Buddha and Bodhisattva enshrined on the Sumeru seat, chanting sutras.

"Senior sister, it seems that someone is knocking on our door?"

"Meditation, do you know why Master gave you the Dharma name Meditation? That is, your heart is always unsettled, you are almost forty years old, how can you still look like a child? Lao Ni, who struck the wooden fish, rebuked softly.

"Yes, Senior Sister!" The meditation nun hurriedly collected her mind and continued to chant in her mouth.

However, as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard a knock on the door drill into her ears, all the way to her heart, and at first thought it was a hallucination. Later, I felt more and more that someone was knocking on the door.

"Senior sister, I ......"

"That's it, my little Wuding Nunnery actually has distinguished guests visiting tonight, meditate, Jingyi, you two go open the door and invite the guests to the main hall to talk." Jinghui opened her eyes. Slowly put it together, "Amitabha." Good, good! ”

"Obey Senior Sister's Decree!" Jing Xin and a nun her age, who was behind her, stood up, clasped their palms together, and said in unison.

Outside the gate of the unfixed hermitage.

"Master Meng, it's been knocking for a long time, why do you still see someone in the temple coming to open the door?" Liang Song clenched his fists slightly. Said a little anxiously.

"The temple gate is some distance from the Buddhist hall where they do their evening class, even if the people inside hear it, it will take time to come over, and then knock!" Meng Yan commanded in a deep voice.

Two of Liang Song's men continued to knock on the door.

"Xiaochao, take a few people to the back door. Just in case! Meng Yan turned his head and whispered to Guo Xiaochao.

"Okay, let's go!" Guo Xiaochao nodded in agreement, asked Liang Song for a group of people, hurriedly bypassed, and went to the back of Wuding'an.

"Master Meng, what are you doing here?"

"I let my men go to the back door, it's been completely tested, what's the matter, does Grandpa Xi have any opinions?" Meng Yan asked coldly.

"No, no opinion...... Xining's eyes dodged, blocking the back door, in case Hu Sanniang's people went in first, wouldn't they be caught in the urn?

Seeing that there was calm in this temple, and there were bursts of Buddhist sounds, either Hu Sanniang and the others were left behind and did not arrive, or they went in and did not move.

Xi Ning saw the mark left by Hu Sanniang along the way, of course he knew that Hu Sanniang had led people in, but in order not to alarm the bhikshunis inside, he chose to sneak in, and the best result was to quietly steal the son of the Tang Chen family.

In this way, Meng Yan and the others rushed into the air, and he could be considered half of the task assigned by Wang Zhen.

As for Tang Chen, with her son in hand, this has a bargaining chip, are you afraid that she will not obediently hand over the evidence of the account books and rosters in her hands?

Thinking of this, Xining's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of hideousness, this time see how your kid surnamed Meng passed the test?

Thinking that Meng Yan was going to get married the day after tomorrow, such a marriage was made by the emperor himself, and such a good thing and glory was not something that anyone could have.

And this time, Meng Yan is very likely to be hung high and fall gently, the emperor can't be a matchmaker on the front foot, and put the groom in prison on the back foot, right?

Although it is a public and private distinction, isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor? Besides, most of the responsibility cannot be counted on his head.

After this vast sea of people, it is even more difficult to find someone, let alone arrest someone, not to mention that people are deliberately avoiding you and playing hide and seek with you.

If you change someone, let alone ten days, even if you give him twenty days, you may not be able to catch a clue.

Don't look at that Liang Song is also capable, he drops the chain at every critical moment, and he doesn't rely on Meng Yan to give him guidance, so he continues the clues little by little?

With this ability, Xining also felt that if it wasn't secretly calculated and sabotaged, it might not be impossible to catch Tang Chen's mother and son within ten days.

The stronger Meng Yan's ability is, the more he will become a powerful opponent of Dongchang and Dongweng, and with such an opponent, the emperor still trusts him very much, which is even more terrifying.

It's a pity that Meng Yan's wings are almost full now, and it is not easy to move him.

"Tiger, Sanniang, Jinyiwei and Dongchang's people have arrived and are knocking on the door, do you listen?" The group of tiger girls who had already entered the temple, after searching most of the area, converged together, and just heard a knock on the door.

"Sotu, what's going on over there?"

"Nothing was found." Sotu shook his head.

"It seems that the only way to go is to go to the Buddha hall and go. Past! Tiger Niu ordered.

"Sanniang, now when we go to the Buddha Hall, we can only rob it, once we alarm the nun, it will be difficult for us to get out?"

"That's it, Sotu. You lead someone to rush in, the target is the child, grab it and go to the back door, I'll break the back. Tiger Niu said.

"No, Tiger, Sanniang, you go and grab the child, I'll cut it off!" Sotu shook his head.

"Sotu, who is in command of this operation?"

"Of course it's you Tiger and Sanniang!"

"Then listen to me. There are a lot of people in Jinyiwei and Dongchang, we must fight quickly, take advantage of the chaos to snatch the child, and then escape, no matter who grabs the child, everyone else has to escort him down the mountain, do you understand? ”

"Why, don't you listen to orders one by one?" There was no sound around. The tiger girl couldn't help but glared angrily.

Everyone's eyes were on Sotu, who was the leader of the group. Although the tiger girl is respectable, she is not their direct commander.

Unless Hu Sanniang is here, it is their obedient master, and they dare not have the slightest disobedience.

"In that case, then follow Miss Tiger's wishes." Sotu knew that if he insisted on changing Tiger Girl's decision. That will inevitably make the woman you like hate herself even more.

Therefore, for the love of his heart, he can only succumb.

"Obey Miss Tiger's orders!"

"Then let's do it!"

"Miss Tiger, someone from the Buddha Hall has come out, it's two nuns!" One of the subordinates who was monitoring the movement of the temple rushed in to report.

"I think I heard a knock on the door from the front. There is not much time left for us to investigate in the past, Sotu, let's act! The tiger girl deserves to be a tiger father and no dog girl, pulled out her portable sword, and ordered loudly.

"Yes!"

"What about the two nuns?"

"Tie it up and try to delay as long as you can!" Sotu commanded.

"Yes!"

"Do it!"

"Suotu, don't kill people, this is Sanniang's strict order!" Hu Niu hurriedly added, these people are murderous, if the land of Buddhism is stained with blood, there will be retribution, and it will anger the Ming government even more.

Although Suo Tu didn't think so, he didn't dare to disobey Sanniang's order, so he nodded.

Jing Xin and Jing Yi, the two nuns, walked side by side all the way, never expecting that danger would appear by their side.

Passing by an archway, two black-clothed men suddenly burst out, covering their mouths and dragging them aside, making them tremble with fright.

"Don't speak, or I'll kill you!"

"We'll let go of your mouths, but don't shout, or we'll cut your throats, hear me!"

"Woo woo...... the two nuns nodded desperately.

The hand that covered the two nuns was released.

"Two female masters, we don't want to hurt you, you just need to answer me a few questions."

"Uh-huh...... the two girls thought for a moment and nodded.

"Was there a woman who went up the mountain yesterday with a little boy?" Tiger Girl asked.

Jing Xin nodded, but Jing Yi shook her head.

"What do the two masters mean, one shaking his head and the other nodding, are they playing with me?" Tiger Niu said angrily.

"Great, king, we only saw a little boy fainting in front of the door, and we didn't see any woman, so we nodded and shook our heads again."

"So, how did you find the little boy?"

"We heard a knock on the door, and that's when we came out to see." Jingxin is more bold, and she speaks.

"Where is the little boy?"

"In ......"

"Meditation, what nonsense are you talking about?" At this time, Jing Yi suddenly scolded, her eyes full of anger.

"Shut up, if you dare to speak again, screw your head off first!" Sotu threatened viciously.

"What are you looking for that little boy for, he's still having a fever?" Meditation.

"Fever?" Hu Niu was a little surprised, "This woman will bring her child to Wuding'an, and I am afraid that this is the place where she can take in and treat her son." ”

"Tell me, where's the kid?" Sotu asked.

"In, in, our senior sister's ......"

"Calm down, shut up!" Jingyi was furious, opened her mouth to scold, but was slashed by Suotu on her neck with a knife, and fainted instantly.

"You, what did you do to my senior sister?" The soul of meditation and fear does not possess the body.

"She's fine, she just fainted, I said, we just want to find that child, it won't hurt anyone, unless you have to go against us!" Tiger Girl said.

"The kid you're looking for is in my sister's meditation room!" Meditation.

"Your sister's meditation room?" Tiger Niu nodded, "Can you take us there?" ”

"Yes, but don't hurt my senior sister, otherwise, I'd rather die than take you there." Meditation.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt anyone, as long as you listen to us, Master." Tiger Niu nodded. (To be continued......)
