Wei Kemu had been ordered by the emperor to find the whereabouts of the secret treasure of the previous dynasty, and secretly searched for a long time, and finally got a clue a few days ago, he didn't wait any longer, and hurried over.

When I arrived at Wanfu Temple, the whole temple was solemn, and the incense of the past was prosperous and smoky, and today it has disappeared.

Wei Kemu slowly walked into the main hall of the temple, looking at the solemn and majestic golden statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, the Buddha lowered his eyes and looked at the world compassionately, as if the suffering in the world had nothing to do with him.

He stared at the Buddha for a long time, until a small novice stepped forward timidly.

"Donor, please come into the house and talk."

Wei Kemu responded lightly as if he had just come back to his senses.

Instead of following the little novice to the outside of the hall, Wei Ke Mujing stepped forward, took three pillars of incense, solemnly bowed three times, and then held the incense, silently reciting Amitabha Buddha in his heart.

Sticking the incense into the censer, he sneered, turned and followed the little novice, and strode into the host's room.

The room was arranged, like a snow cave, only a case collapsed and a screen, but there was no presiding officer, he didn't care, and walked straight to the front of the case.

On the ebony desk were two plain white and smooth tea cups, and the heat was rising, and he picked one up at random and drank it.

The old fox was afraid that he was not going to say anything, so he looked around and walked behind the screen.

Sure enough, the host was meditating on the futon behind the screen, and when he saw Wei Kemu coming in, he lifted his eyelids, glanced at him lightly, opened his mouth to recite a Buddha name, and then stopped speaking.

Wei Kemu took a step forward, and was surprised to find that the host died suddenly, he was not flustered, and saw a note in front of the host, picked it up and looked at it, and copied a scripture on it - "When the foreign Taoists see that it is a common thing, they become persistent, deceive the image of the world, and what they say is really illegal."

"Persistence, persistence...", he thought silently in his heart, this matter directly hit the deepest desire in the heart of the Supreme, how could he easily let go, he smiled helplessly, and saw that he really couldn't get any clues, so he had to retreat.

After walking out of the house, he breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that all kinds of things in the room were like a dream of Nan Ke, as if he was in a different world, and he walked out slowly, and no one stopped him along the way.

Suspicious, he walked straight to the place where the monks lived in the monastery, and the doors of the rooms were wide open and empty.

This huge Wanfu Temple is no one at the moment, he shuddered, and flew away on tiptoe outside the temple.

His subordinates had been waiting outside the temple for a long time, but due to Wei Kemu's order, they all waited quietly five feet outside the temple gate.

"Chief, what's going on in the Wanfu Temple, what did the host say?"

Wei Kemu didn't want to say more, Wanfu Temple and his party were full of weirdness, he wanted to order his subordinates to surround Wanfu Temple, he went to the emperor to return his life, but when he thought about the faint glance and the note before presiding over his death, he closed his eyes forcefully and ordered his subordinates to burn the temple.

Looking at the raging fire that was gradually igniting, he seemed to see the golden Buddha statue in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and he was looking at it wordlessly.

Wei Kemu looked at him quietly, the Buddha statue was slowly annihilating in the flames, but he was still compassionate, as if he could see through Wei Kemu's struggle.

Wei Kemu couldn't bear to look at it anymore, turned his head and raised his hand, the note floated away with the wind, and slowly fell into the scorching flames in a circle, the tongue of fire was merciless, licking and eating the weak note fiercely, and there was no trace in an instant.

Standing in front of Wanfu Temple, he quietly watched the fire crush the eaves of Wanfu Temple little by little, and when there was only a piece of ash left in front of him, he turned around and rushed back to Beijing with his men and horses.

The emperor searched for a long time, and when he got the news of Wanfu Temple, he was ecstatic, and after sending Wei Kemu out, he was restless in the palace, and repeatedly refused the requests of several important ministers of the court.

Seeing that the emperor even used the hasty lunch, Gonggong Wei sighed and persuaded: "Your Majesty should go in, according to the slaves, the Wanfu Temple is far away on the outskirts of the city, and it will take half a day for Lord Wei to come and go, Your Majesty should take care of the dragon body first." ”

The eldest companion who grew up with him since he was a child cared so much about him, and the emperor couldn't refuse, so he casually agreed, ate a few bites and gave up.

After lunch, it was estimated that Wei Kemu should have completed the investigation and had already returned to Beijing, and the emperor was anxiously pacing in the palace, not even taking a lunch break.

Knowing that this matter was very important, it was inconvenient for Gonggong Wei to persuade him more, he sighed, and instructed his apprentice to go to the palace gate, always paying attention to Wei Kemu's movements.

After waiting for a long time, Wei Kemu finally came to restore his life like the emperor.

Seeing him walking in a hurry and looking tired, the emperor had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

"Wei Qing, what is the result of this trip?" He pretended to be calm and spoke coldly.

"Back to Your Majesty, this trip... This trip..."

Seeing that he was hesitant, the emperor's ominous premonition deepened, and he couldn't help but ask: "Come quickly, what happened on this trip?" ”

"The minister is guilty of failing His Majesty's trust. When the minister arrived at the Wanfu Temple, there was only one person left in the temple, and the host had passed away. Weichen really didn't know what to do, so in order to cover up his whereabouts, he set fire to the Wanfu Temple. ”

Wei Kemu deliberately concealed some details, such as the little novice and the note, first, because the wood has been completed, these have not changed anything, and second, the Wanfu Temple is full of strangeness, if he comes from the truth, the emperor will not only not believe it, but will also be angry with the Wanfu Temple.

That's it, he sighed, and thought, just let them go, don't be a victim of this hopeless "attachment" anymore.

The emperor waited for more than half a day, but what he got was the news that Wanfu Temple was set on fire by Wei Kemu, and he said without anger: "You! Do you know how much truth you will have to get without that temple, and how long it will take to find the clues again! In vain, I believe in you so much! ”

I thought that my desire had finally been answered, but in the end, it was still a bamboo basket to draw water - it was empty, and the emperor's pursuit of nowhere to vent turned into anger, all of which was vented on Wei Kemu.

After reprimanding him fiercely, the emperor was still angry.

"You can think about it in the mansion these days, and come out after thinking clearly." The emperor was extremely disappointed in Wei Kemu's move and ordered Wei Kemu to go home and reflect on it.

Wanfu Temple is the most prosperous place of incense in Beijing, it is surprising to be surprised when some people who do not know come to Wanfu Temple, and they can not help but be shocked when they see that the original site of Wanfu Temple is only a place of ashes.

When the news of the burning of Wanfu Temple reached Beijing, the news suddenly broke the calm of the recent period and caused an uproar.

Even though Wei Xiyue spent the whole day reviewing the entrance exams of Tianci Academy, living in seclusion every day, and not paying much attention to religious matters on weekdays, he still heard some news. In addition, in his previous life, the Liu family had been talking to him for a long time, and he had a very deep memory of this matter.

Combined with some secrets that she accidentally knew in her previous life, whether it was related to this, she secretly thought about it, and wanted to start investigating immediately, but was stopped by Huo Lingxiao.

Huo Lingxiao grew up under the emperor's knees since he was a child, so he naturally heard about these palace secrets, and he faintly knew some inside stories, but what the emperor was doing was this, this was a forbidden area that even he couldn't touch.

Knowing the strange reason why Wanfu Temple was burned, it stands to reason that the temple with such a flourishing incense cannot be turned into ashes overnight, and there must be a hidden secret behind it.

Like Wei Xiyue, everything needs to be clear and hearty, in Huo Lingxiao's opinion, she must start investigating and figuring out the ins and outs of the matter before she will stop.

But this matter is a matter of secrecy, there are too many disputes involved, in this forbidden area, Huo Lingxiao really can't protect Xiyue thoughtfully, for Wei Xiyue's consideration, he handed over the letter early, asking Wei Xiyue to stop.

Wei Xiyue received Huo Lingxiao's secret letter, only to see a few words on it, writing:

"Xiyue, see the letter like a meeting

Recently, there has been a heated discussion in Beijing about the Wanfu Temple, and as far as I know, this matter is widely implicated, and I hope that Xiyue will act cautiously. ”

Huo Lingxiao's letter was vague, only what was said was widely implicated, but the details were indeed not revealed at all, Wei Xiyue didn't know if this was Huo Lingxiao's intention to conceal it, or even Huo Lingxiao was the prince, and she didn't know one or two, she was full of doubts in her heart, and she couldn't figure it out.

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Huo Lingxiao was selling in his gourd, seeing that in the letter, his words were sincere and his attitude was solemn, even though he was curious in his heart, but taking into account Huo Lingxiao's advice, Wei Xiyue still stopped.

After a few days of rumors of this matter in the city, there was no news, and strangely enough, the group of sour Confucians in the Ministry of Rites did not comment on this matter, and the court and the central government were calm. The stone was thrown into the water, and it did not make a wave.

Seeing that the situation was developing like this, Wei Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, as Huo Lingxiao expected, there was a lot of stakes behind this matter, and it was not a field that he could set foot in, but fortunately, after listening to Huo Lingxiao's advice, he did not start investigating in vain. For Huo Lingxiao's kindness, she was secretly grateful in her heart.

Since Wei Kemu was ordered by the emperor to return home for reflection, he knew that he really couldn't change the emperor's pursuit of the secret treasures of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and he was helpless in his heart for the emperor to be so obsessed.

When Chen learned that Wei Kemu was reprimanded by the emperor, she was terrified, and she stepped forward timidly and asked, "Second master, does this matter matter?" ”

In Wei Kemu's heart, the Chen family is just a deep house woman, who knows very little about political affairs, and all he knows is some rumors, and this matter is secret, so he is inconvenient to say more, so he just said lightly, and only said, "It's okay, it's okay."

He stayed at home every day, and was busy with official business in the past, Chen had not been with him for so long, and he didn't know what to say, so Chen had to talk about some homely things, but most of them were related to the disparagement of the big house.

Listening to Chen's daily chatter about the Dafang family, Wei Kemu was really bored, but he didn't want to save Chen's face, so he had to hide in the study every morning and come out of the room late at night.

Seeing Wei Kemu behaving like this, Chen was stupid, even if he complained in his heart, he had no choice but to give up and press it all in his heart.
