Ah Lai and Grandpa came to Lei Yin Temple.

When Yayoi and Mile saw Ah Lai, they hugged him excitedly.

Abbot Lichen clasped his hands together and led Ah Lai and Grandpa to the secret room.

Alaibi respectfully opened the certificate and placed it in front of the empty elder, the skull of the deceased.

Put three sticks of incense in the censer and prostrate three respectfully.

Grandpa Lei also respectfully kowtowed three times.

Courtesy.

The abbot clasped his hands together and said: "Plant good causes, get good results, good luck, auspicious luck." ”

Open another secret room, and order Yayoi and Mile to guard the door, and Grandpa Lei waits outside.

He led Alai in alone, and then closed it.

Light a butter lamp and lead Alai to visit them one by one.

Introduce them one by one, these are all Buddhist cultural relics, and each collection is priceless.

Ah Lai was dumbfounded, there were a lot of dazzling relics, and there were a lot of glowing relics.

Found in a tall cabinet, showing a golden flower four strands of twelve-ring tin staff, next to a line of words introduction.

The silver tin rod is 196.5 centimeters long, the rod diameter is 3.25 centimeters, the material of the tin rod is very valuable, it is not made of tin metal, but made of silver 58 taels, gold 2 taels, the whole body is shining with golden light, shining, weighing 2,390 grams.

The abbot of Lichen introduced: The overall shape of this treasure scepter is exquisite, rare in ancient and modern times, the shape is more magnificent, the craftsmanship is more exquisite, it can be called the treasure of Buddhism, it is the supreme authority of Buddhism, and it is the king of the unique tin rod in the world.

Back then, only the Thunder Temple held particularly important rituals and ceremonies, and Master Likong would take them out, and as soon as the rituals were over, they would be kept secret.

Ah Lai tried his best to recall, and asked blankly: "I spent almost my childhood in Master Kong's meditation room, but in my memory, why don't I have it?"

He said bluntly, "But when I look at this scepter, how can I feel bleak when it is not as you say? Could it be that this scepter has been stolen and is just a fake?"

Abbot Lichen exclaimed: "You really have a pair of discerning eyes, and you can see through a little. ”

Gloomy and sad memories recounted.

At that time, Li Shiren often came to the temple to donate, worship the Buddha for children, seek wealth, and became a frequent visitor to the seat.

When he saw the scepter, he became greedy and became a lay disciple, and every time he went to the temple, he donated a huge amount of money on the spot.

On that occasion, Master Likong returned to the meditation room after doing the Dharma and was entangled by the young Li Shiren, and on the spot, asked to inspect the treasure staff to improve his merits.

Master Likong began to insist on refusing, how could he not stand his stubbornness, so he ordered Chenchen to take out the treasure staff and give it to him to be examined in the meditation room.

After a while, Master Likong and Lichen felt blurred in front of them at the same time, and lost consciousness, and when they woke up, they found that Li Shiren had also lost consciousness, but the scepter in his hand was gone.

At the same time, they disappeared, and the two Dharma protectors who opened the door of the meditation room were still in a coma, so they quickly woke them up.

The two of them didn't know what was going on in the fog.

Master Likong knew that the responsibility was heavy, and discussed it with Lichen at that time.

I suspect that it must be Li Shiren who colluded with people, calculated it a long time ago, stole the scepter, and accompanied him to ask Li Shiren for it.

In order to prevent a bad impact and alarm the entire Buddhist community, he suggested that he should have his own funds to secretly create a fake to replace it, in an attempt to hide it from the world.

He swore that the matter was caused by him, and swore that the scepter would be recovered by him.

At that time, Lichen was undecided, afraid that as soon as the police intervened, the rumors would spread, and the incense of the entire Leiyin Temple would be broken, so he agreed to Li Shiren's request.

After a while, Master Likong thought about it again and again, but quietly reported the case.

The police agreed to the secret investigation of Master Kong, but because of the delay in solving the best time to solve the case, there has been no result.

Later, Li Shiren also asked someone to make this fake and gave it to Master Kong, and the matter was over.

Master Likong did not embarrass him, every time he came to the temple.

They all gave him lectures on the scriptures and teachings, expecting him to rein in the precipice and return to the true scepter.

Li Shiren founded the hospital, and Master Likong personally showed him feng shui and named it "Renxin Hospital"

Until later.

After a secret investigation, Master Likong learned from his friends abroad that the same golden flower four-strand twelve-ring tin staff had appeared abroad.

Knowing that most of Li Shiren's funds were from unknown sources, he used stolen cultural relics and sold them abroad, and he was disheartened.

Later, it was discovered that he was greedy for the cultural relics of the temple, and even had the ghost idea of a relic.

began to quietly transfer all the cultural relics of the Scripture Pavilion to this secret room.

And then later.

Master Likong often went out of the temple and abroad, looking for it unsuccessfully, and on the way back, he found the abandoned Alai......

Alai grew up.

When he was about to die, he secretly told Dust.

Don't pay attention to his relics, he pays attention to the "Dharma body relics", and passes on the relics that he has obtained from his lifelong practice to your body, if God knows and the Buddha blesses, you can have an amazingly high IQ.

After saying all this, the dust said.

continued: "After Master Kong's death, I conducted a comprehensive investigation of you according to his intentions, and in the dark, you really lived up to your expectations, protected the incense of Leiyin Temple again and again, and strictly eliminated the scum of Buddhism. ”

"Your career is developing day by day, you have not forgotten your roots, donated a huge amount of money to repair the temple, and the bronze statue project of the bronze sculpture of the 'Elder of the Sky' has been fully affirmed by the State Administration of Religious Affairs and the Buddhist Association. ”

Ah Lai clasped his hands together: "Amitofu, Buddha bless, this is what Ah Lai should do." ”

Lichen nodded in satisfaction, opened a safe, and took out a suicide note.

"Before the death of Master Likong, he made all the arrangements and ordered me to hand over this letter to you at the right time, I feel that today, you have graduated from college, and it is already time. ”

Ah Lai took it with both hands, and under the butter lamp, browsed.

I saw that it was written.

Accept my relics, and you will inherit my mantle.

My unfinished mission must be completed.

First, recover the genuine tin rod of Jinhua four strands and twelve rings.

Second, bring the thieves to justice and never tolerate them.

Third, protect all the cultural relics of Leiyin Temple, purify all sentient beings, and light my Buddhism.

Signature: Blank

Ah Lai put his hands together in the palm of his hand: "Amitofu, lay disciple Lei Tianlai, obey the master's orders, you must live up to your mission and fulfill your unfulfilled wish." ”

Return the suicide note to Dust and put it back in the safe.

The abbot of Lichen repeatedly told Ah Lai that Li Shiren was seriously suspicious of the theft of the treasure staff, and he should strive for a secret recovery and not be too public, otherwise it would affect the incense of the temple.

Ah Lai knew it and clasped his hands together: "Amitofu, don't worry, Ah Lai will obey the master's orders and strive to fulfill the empty wish." ”

The two men extinguished all the butter lamps and walked out of the secret room.

Alai's mood was extremely heavy, and he felt the mission on his shoulders.

Unconsciously walked to the release pond with my grandfather, and was full of emotion and stopped.
