Chapter 36: The Mystery Is Here

"Amitabha." Zen Master Huizheng and Zen Master Huizheng clasped their hands together and gave Xiao Changsong a salute.

"Amitabha." Xiao Changsong also followed suit and returned the gift to the two Zen masters.

"Two Zen masters, have you seen it?"

Zen Master Huizheng nodded.

"The poor monk has seen it, and the abbot of Qingfeng was indeed poisoned and died. Comrade Xiao, please take a look. "For the sake of the Zen master Dao.

Xiao Changsong put on his mask and gloves and walked towards the sarcophagus.

The others stood about two meters from the sarcophagus.

Xiao Changsong first examined the deceased's teeth, and then observed the deceased's sternum and vertebrae.

Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei and Xiang Daimo stood beside Xiao Changsong.

Lin Di is taking pictures.

"Old Xiao, how is it?" Zhao Zimeng said.

"Zen Master Huizheng is right, roughly speaking, the cause of death of the deceased should be chronic poisoning."

"The toxin has completely invaded the bone marrow of the deceased, and the bone is blackened, which is the result of long-term use of chronic medicine."

"As long as the dose is controlled, I am afraid it will not be visible in a short period of time."

"The person who uses the drug is very knowledgeable about the medicinal properties of this substance, so this person is most likely a person who is proficient in pharmacology."

Xiao Changsong's kung fu of speaking, Cheng Qiushui recorded it on the side.

After recording the record, he took a small piece of Abbot Qingfeng's broken bones from the sarcophagus and sealed it in a plastic bag so that it could be sent back to the technical department for further testing.

Feng Yiming took some photos from different angles.

According to Xiao Changsong's request, Feng Yiming took a few more photos of the deceased's teeth, sternum and vertebrae.

Zen Master Puji asked Zen Master Huizheng to take a yellow robe and drape it on the bones of Abbot Qingfeng.

Before draping the robe on Abbot Qingfeng, Zen Master Kongyun took the string of Buddhist beads from Abbot Qingfeng's neck bone and finally put the beads on the outside of the robe.

Before covering the coffin, Zen Master Puji also lit three incense sticks in front of the stone stele.

Several old Zen masters, under the leadership of Puji Zen Master, saluted the abbot Qingfeng.

After the ceremony, in the sound of Zhou Jialiang's trumpet, everyone re-covered the coffin lid on the sarcophagus.

Finally, the tomb was restored to its original state.

After lunch, Zhao Zimeng and the others went to the Abbot Zen Monastery again, accompanied by Zen Master Puji, Zen Master Kongyun, Zen Master Huizheng, Zen Master Weihe and Supervisor Jueshui.

Zhao Zimeng, with the help and witness of several Zen masters, will look for evidence of the crimes committed by the master and apprentice of Xiu Neng and Water Purification, and the most important thing is to find the mechanism of the secret room mentioned by Puji Zen Master.

The poisoning case of Abbot Qingfeng was caused by the murder of Ge Zhenggen and Liu Abao, and in the end, everyone still had to return to the case of hiding the corpse in the belly of the Buddha.

If Xiu Neng and Pure Water are the real murderers who killed Ge Zhenggen and Liu Abao, then the treasure of the temple, the golden Buddha in the underground palace, is the reason for their killing.

Xiu Neng got the Golden Buddha, but he still chose to stay in the Cold Moon Temple, so the Golden Buddha must still be hiding somewhere in the Cold Moon Temple at this moment.

And this mysterious abbot Zen Monastery has the greatest possibility of hiding the Golden Buddha!

When I walked into the meditation room, the chair was on the desk, and it was the same as when the big guy left.

Xiang Daimo climbed into the chair first.

He climbed above the ceiling without much effort, and the second one to climb the ceiling was Ling Hu Yunfei.

When the two of them went up, they found that the space above the ceiling was larger and more spacious than expected.

The ceiling was now grounded, and although it was made of wood, it was very strong for the feet to step on.

It's definitely a great place to hide something.

Xiang Daimo and Ling Hu Yunfei each had a lamp hanging around their necks.

Here is the coarse is a herringbone space, the highest place where people can walk upright.

If you look up, you will see the wooden roof of this ancient building, which is usually untouched and full of spider dust.

The two men searched carefully in this space for nearly twenty minutes, but found nothing.

The two of them returned in vain, and everyone continued to search in the meditation room.

Xiao Luhan and Ma Jianping used the tail of the steel drill to test the floor tiles, and they beat them one by one, discerning the emptiness of the sound, and carefully checking whether there were any gaps between each floor tile.

Lu Qian and Xiang Daimo lifted the meditation bed to the side, and Xiao Luhan and Ma Jianping carefully and carefully inspected every floor tile under the meditation bed.

The sound of the steel brazing on each floor tile is very real, and the floor tiles are also tightly fitted, and there is no sign of loosening.

Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei moved all the objects that could be moved in the room one by one, but they still didn't find anything unusual.

Zen Master Puji was not idle.

He knocked here and there inside the shrine, touching there, not sparing a corner.

Everyone searched but found nothing, and they were at a loss.

Zhao Zimeng suddenly noticed the Buddhist shrine in the house, he walked to the Buddhist shrine, stared at Maitreya Buddha, and pondered for a while.

This Buddhist shrine is about 1.8 meters high and about 90 centimeters wide, and the bottom edge of the Buddhist shrine is more than 2 centimeters away from the floor tiles.

A statue of Maitreya Buddha is sitting cross-legged in the middle of the shrine.

Maitreya Buddha bare his chest and belly, and his expression was indifferent.

Some of the shrines are inlaid on the wall, and the exposed part is fifty or sixty centimeters.

Zhao Zimeng remembered that in martial arts novels, the Buddhist shrines of those monks were very good.

Although it is a bit nonsense to compare the fantasy plot in the novel to reality, it is worth giving it a try.

He crouched down and pressed upwards with both hands to support the base of the shrine.

The Buddha shrine does not move.

Zhao Zimeng always felt that this Buddhist shrine seemed to have a mystery, he bent down and groped for a while on the base of the Buddhist shrine with his right hand, but the Buddhist shrine still did not move.

Xiang Daimo took a brush from the desk, grabbed the tip of the pen with his right hand, put the pen into the gap under the Buddhist shrine, and flicked it along the edge of the Buddhist shrine a few times.

With one last blow, the pen pulled out a round stone like a chess piece.

"Team Zhao, what do you think this is?" Xiang Daimo handed the small stone to Zhao Zimeng.

Zhao Zimeng held it in his hand, the diameter of this stone is four or five centimeters, and the thickness is two centimeters.

It was exactly the same thickness as the distance between the bottom of the shrine and the floor tiles.

"Looks like there's something down here!"

Xiang Daimo said while searching, he needed a longer thing at the moment - the barrel of the brush was too short to reach the innermost.

Zen Master Kongyun understood, he walked to the meditation bed, and lifted the bamboo pillow and mat.

Underneath the mat is a slender sandalwood scratch blade with a diameter of one centimeter.

Under the mat, in addition to tickling, there is also a scripture book.

"This scripture, Abbot Qingfeng has read it, and Xiu Neng has also read it." Supervisor Jueshui recognized the scriptures at a glance.

Probably because of the frequent reading, the edges of that scripture book were very frizzy.

Zhao Zimeng picked up the scriptures and flipped through them one by one.

Xiu Neng put this sutra under the pillow and mat, probably so that it is convenient to read it at any time.

Zhao Zimeng turned to the middle page and suddenly stopped.

Zen Master Puji and Supervisor Jueshui stepped forward.

Linghu Yunfei also saw the content of the scriptures: "Team Zhao, the lotus seat on this painting is exactly the same as the lotus seat in the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the underground palace. ”

"It's true, but the Guanyin Bodhisattva on the lotus seat is different. On the lotus seat of the Daxiong Treasure Hall is a standing Guanyin, there is no Guanyin Bodhisattva on the lotus seat in the underground palace, but in addition to the Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting in the middle of this lotus seat, there are three very small Guanyin sitting Buddhas around. Zhao Zimeng said.

"Captain, look at the next page." Xiao Luhan said.

Zhao Zimeng cautiously turned to the next page.

The next page turned out to be a top view, on this top view, in the east and west, north and south of the Guanyin Buddha, there was actually a Guanyin sitting Buddha.

Zhao Zimeng turned another page, and this page is a side view.

This side view shows that the Guanyin Buddha in the middle of the lotus seat turns out to be a double-faced Buddha. That is to say, whether you look at it from the south or from the north, it is a statue of Guanyin Buddha.

This can't help but Zhao Zimeng can't make a bold association: "Could it be that the Guanyin Buddha on the lotus seat of the underground palace is not one, but one large and four small, a total of five?" ”

"It's no wonder that Xiu Neng and Pure Water have been searching in the temple for so many years, and it is likely that the two of them got some information from this scripture." Linghu Yunfei said.

"Lin Di, put this scripture away, we have time, we have to ponder it carefully."

Lin Di took the scripture from Zhao Zimeng's hand and put it in his bag.

Xiang Daimo took the tickle from the hand of Zen Master Kongyun, stretched it into the gap, and continued to dial, until the fourth time, the tail of the tickle touched something.

Xiang Daimo took out the thing and looked at it, and it was a round stone like a chess piece, just like the one just now.

"Team Zhao, these two stones should be used to resist the Buddha shrine and prevent the Buddha shrine from moving downward." Xiang Daimo said.

Xiang Daimo pressed the base of the Buddha shrine with his right hand again.

Suddenly there was a "click-click" sound from inside the shrine.

It's not loud, but it's clear.

And all the people gathered around.

Only the little master Jing Neng stood alone at the door of the meditation room, Jing Neng was a mute, he couldn't hear the sound.

When he saw everyone walking towards the Buddhist shrine, he was stunned for a moment, and then he also walked to the Buddhist shrine.

After the "click" sounded rhythmically for twenty tens of seconds, the shrine began to move at a uniform speed along the wall.

The bottom edge of the shrine came to an abrupt halt when it was about 80 centimeters from the floor tiles.

Immediately afterwards, a floor tile about 60 centimeters long and 50 centimeters wide began to move in the direction of the wall.

The edge of the floor tile stopped moving to the level of the wall.

This floor tile is supposed to be the secret door of the secret room, which is hidden in the wall.

Underneath the secret door is the entrance to the secret room!

"Sure enough, there is a doorway." Zhao Zimeng said.

The entrance to the chamber is very elaborately designed, and it uses this shrine to cover the secret door of the chamber.

The ordinary person's mind will only lift the Buddhist shrine upward, not downward.

Even if someone presses down and something under the shrine is against the shrine, the shrine will not move.

No wonder almost no one can crack the mystery!

Xiang Daimo was short and strong, Zhao Zimeng motioned for him to stand forward, he turned on the light, and shone under the square hole, where there was a wooden ladder.

The head of the wooden ladder is fifty or sixty centimeters from the entrance of the cave.

Xiang Daimo was half-squatting, with his back to the wall, and put his right foot into the hole first, and his foot happened to step on the wooden ladder.

He put his left foot on the wooden ladder again and groped his way down.

Soon, Xiang Daimo's figure disappeared at the entrance of the cave.

Linghu Yunfei also turned on the lights and went down to the cave.
