Chapter 641: The Buddha is missing

After the last envoy Chu Han came back, the emperor did not give Lu Qingyi an official position, but only symbolically gave him the title of a peace envoy.

Looking back at the Glory Bureau behind him, the door that only allowed one person to pass through was pitch black, who would have thought that there would be such a big pattern inside. Who would have thought that this place holds the information of all the officials in the whole capital?

Could it be that all the people in the Glory Bureau can't have official positions? Lu Qingyi didn't know anyone else, and the only old eunuch he knew didn't have any official position, and he was just an ordinary person if he rounded it up.

Lu Qingyi didn't know that the Glory Bureau would only gather a large number of people when there was an emergency, and there were only three or four sporadic people stationed in it. Residents generally have two statuses, while others have official positions and some do not.

Of course, this didn't affect anything, because the whole body was wrapped in a black robe, and even the voice could be camouflaged. No one knows who they are.

Early the next morning, Shen Xi set off in a carriage towards the city gate. Lu Qingyi went to investigate this time, and he didn't ride together, but secretly followed behind Shen Xi.

Chang Qing was already waiting at the city gate, and after not seeing him for several days, Chang Qing's whole person became a lot more mellow. Seeing Shen Xi coming, he jumped out of the carriage without saying a word: "Shen Xi, come over and sit in the same car with me." ”

"Why are you thinking about going to Xiangguoji Temple today?" Shen Xi couldn't help but ask when she got into the car, she was in the palace before, and she agreed before she had time to ask.

Chang Qing looked mysterious and said, "I heard that...... The master who is there to teach the Dharma today is very accurate in his marriage. ”

Shen Xi frowned: "Aren't you already ...... with Liu Congwen?"

"Heck, that's just a ceremony. Who knows if we'll grow old. Chang Qing pouted to himself.

Shen Xi sighed helplessly, have women been like this since ancient times?

The carriage of the two staggered towards Xiangguo Temple. Xiangguoji Temple is a temple located not far from the capital, because it is close to the capital and the scale is relatively large.

Xiangguo Temple often has dignitaries and nobles who burned incense to seek Buddha in the past, and the degree of incense is vigorous, which is almost comparable to the Longquan Temple, which is mainly worshiped by the royal family.

Chang Qing had sneaked out this time, and the two of them had no special treatment. When he arrived at the door, he was still crowded in with a large crowd, Lu Qingyi felt that he was okay, a little effort, otherwise he would be able to lose people just because of the crowding just now.

Shen Xi didn't understand the so-called master's statement, and Changqing was also ambiguous. But Chang Qing didn't care about these details, and the purpose of her coming was still to come.

As soon as the statement ended, Chang Qing grabbed Shen Xi's arm and ran wildly towards the back. Shen Xi protected his stomach with his hands and shouted, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Have you forgotten me...... It's different now! ”

Chang Qing remembered that Shen Xi had another one in his stomach, and coughed a little embarrassed. So he whispered, "I'm sorry, I just forgot." But if we don't hurry up, the master will be gone......"

"That's ...... You run over by yourself. Shen Xi bent over and gasped: "I really can't run, you go first, I'll come over later." ”

Chang Qing's eyes were a little tangled, but he finally nodded: "That's okay, then I'll go first." It's in that room at the end of this hallway. ”

Seeing Changqing's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, Shen Xi had an ominous premonition in his heart. But he quickly dispelled this thought, what else could happen here in broad daylight?

Walking slowly in the corridor, Shen Xi was not in a hurry, and asked what the marriage was. The door of the room at the end of the corridor was closed, Shen Xi felt a little strange, could Chang Qing still close the door when he went in?

With a secret effort in her hand, the door was pushed open. Where is this room, it is obviously a big hall. 202 eBooks

In the center of the room was a huge Buddha statue, Shen Xi didn't know the Dharma, so he didn't understand who this Buddha statue was. was just looked at by a big Buddha, and she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart,

Walking towards the inside of the main hall, it turned out that what I saw just now was only the outer hall, and there was a room inside.

"Changqing, are you in there?" Because the light here became dim, Shen Xi subconsciously raised his vigilance.

No one inside responded, Shen Xi was even more apprehensive in her heart, she did not rush forward, but withdrew from the main hall. Lu Qingyi was outside, why did she go in alone.

Lu Qingyi had some doubts in his heart when he saw Shen Xi enter the room, but it was not easy for him to enter himself, so he kept waiting at the door.

Shen Xi's first sentence was: "Changqing seems to be gone?" ”

"What you said is true?" Lu Qingyi's pupils dilated slightly and asked.

"I'm not sure, I called her at the door just now, and she didn't answer." Lu Qingyi didn't tell Shen Xi about what happened in Xiangguo Temple recently, but only told her to pay attention to safety.

Shen Xi took Lu Qingyi and the two of them to re-enter the hall, and as soon as they entered, Lu Qingyi faintly smelled a stream of sandalwood. It would be nice if it were ordinary sandalwood, the key is that this sandalwood has a sweet and greasy taste in it.

It's like ......

Lu Qingyi took Shen Xi's hand and tightened it, his people had already been ambushed outside, and if there was movement inside, they would rush in.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the inner hall, the imaginary horror scene did not appear, it was just an ordinary monk's room, with a pair of "Zen" characters hanging in the center.

Smoke curled from the incense burner in the center of the room, and a monk of about fifty or sixty years of age sat on a cushion with his eyes closed.

Looking around the room, there was no evergreen figure in sight. Lu Qingyi took a step forward and asked directly: "What about people?" ”

"This benefactor, the poor monk doesn't know what you're talking about." The monk's eyes didn't open, and the wooden fish in his hand still sounded rhythmically.

Lu Qingyi didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the circle in this room. This room doesn't have another door to get out, it's connected to a basement or something.

Shen Xi walked in front of the man: "Do you know who came in just now?" Where did you hide people? ”

"I know...... Isn't it a princess. The monk raised his head and opened his eyes, and his sudden movement startled Shen Xi.

Of course, what scared Shen Xi the most was his eyes, which didn't look like the eyes of a monk at all.

Lu Qingyi hurriedly walked to Shen Xi's side and protected her in his arms: "You are from a foreign land?" The disappearance of the official woman this time was also done by you! ”

This is said categorically, Lu Qingyi has almost been sure since he came in. That kind of sandalwood is used to suppress the original sweet and greasy taste in the air, and Lu Qingyi heard that because exotic people live in hot and humid places all year round, they will have a fermented taste.

However, the flavor was supposed to be a sweet floral note.
