At sunrise, Xiao Rui and the three of them left the inn and came to the foot of Pudu Temple Mountain before the middle of the day.

After fostering the horses, Xiao Rui changed into an ordinary person's linen clothes and looked up at Pudu Temple.

This century-old temple lasts for a long time, sitting on the top of a mountain of hundreds of meters, behind the temple is a cliff, and below is Danyang Lake.

Standing in front of the temple, you can overlook the vast lake, when the danyang is red, a red glow, and the gorgeous scenery also makes the reputation of Pudu Temple more resounding.

At this time, on the stone steps and mountain road, a large number of pilgrims go up the mountain to offer incense, men, women and children of all ages, all with a pious heart, praying for the blessing of the Buddha.

In the troubled times, Taoism came out, the Buddha flourished in the prosperous times, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, so they also wanted to find a sustenance for their faith, which contributed to the prosperity of Pudu Temple.

According to Xiao Rui's plan, he originally wanted to cruise on a boat and enjoy the temples and ancient temples, but now he has no thoughts.

The three of them mixed in the crowd and went up the mountain to the square in front of the temple of Pudu Temple.

Pudu Temple is located on the whole mountain, the scale is huge, from the front of the temple to the back of the temple, there are eighteen halls, enshrined countless Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, after the eighteen halls, is the backyard of Pudu Temple, where the monks live. Further back, there is the stupa of Pudu Temple, which enshrines the relics of the deceased monks. After walking past the stupa, there is the forbidden place of Pudu Monastery, which is forbidden to monks and only to the abbot, a quaint house built on a cliff.

Before arriving at Pudu Temple, Xiao Rui asked Wu Zhanfa to inquire clearly.

Zen Master Jingxiu is very old, rarely sees pilgrims, and stays in the forbidden place to meditate on weekdays, and the presiding officer of the temple and some waterway pujas are handed over to other monks, so Xiao Rui wants to see Zen Master Jingxiu, so he can only secretly enter the forbidden place.

Naturally, they could not enter through the gate of Pudu Temple, so they followed the wall, went around to the back of the temple, and then climbed over the wall to the stupa of the temple.

Compared to Gwangwonsa Temple in the capital, Pudu Temple is the largest temple in the Gyeonggi region, and the stupas enshrined here are large in scale and numerous, and the gray and white mottled stupas are solemn and dignified, and you can feel your heartbeat when you walk in them.

In front of the main hall, there are pilgrims praying for blessings and incense, in the noisy atmosphere is countless red dust wishes, the world worships the Buddha, worships not the true Buddha, but fame and fortune. However, in the pagoda, there is silence and solemnity, where you can better experience the true meaning of prayer and truly understand the Dharma.

But unfortunately, Xiao Rui and the three of them do not believe in Buddhism.

They walked through the stupa and went to the forbidden place at the end, but what they didn't expect was that there were monks guarding the gate of the forbidden place.

What surprised Xiao Rui even more was that this monk had a one-sided relationship, and it was the unknown monk who sent back the relics for Master Yuanzhen!

He was very alert, found Xiao Rui and the three of them, and said, "Amitabha!" His Royal Highness King Xian came to Pudu Temple in person, and he was not welcomed! ”

Xiao Rui didn't continue to hide, and walked straight over.

"I don't know the master, aren't you placing an order in the Lotus Temple?" Xiao Rui stopped three feet away and asked out loud.

I don't know what the monk said: "The abbot of Lotus Temple ordered the poor monks to come to Pudu Temple to protect Zen Master Jingxiu, saying that someone intends to be unfavorable to Zen Master Jingxiu!" ”

Xiao Rui's gaze skipped over him and looked at the forbidden land.

Passing through this iron gate, there was a small courtyard with only one room in the courtyard. This is the forbidden place of Pudu Temple, which seems to be ordinary, but I don't know what secrets are hidden, so that Zen Master Jingxiu stays in it for a long time and does not want to come out.

I don't know the monk said again: "His Royal Highness King Xian, this is the forbidden place of Pudu Temple, if you want to worship the Buddha, you can go to the front hall!" ”

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "This king is here to see Zen Master Jingxiu, please don't know the master's communication!" ”

Who knows, I don't know that the monk stretched out his arm, blocked the iron door with the Zen staff in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, the poor monk was invited to guard again, and no outsiders are allowed to enter the forbidden land, including the poor monk." ”

Xiao Rui didn't speak, and Li Kui said angrily: "Dead bald donkey, you dare to stop Your Royal Highness, believe it or not, I will chop off your head with an axe!" ”

"Don't believe it!" I don't know that the monk is burly, half a head taller than Li Kui, but he is strong in martial arts, and he is not afraid at all at this time.

Li Kui's little temper came up instantly, so he pulled out the plate axe on his back and prepared to give him an axe. However, he was stopped by Wu Zhan.

Xiao Rui said: "I don't know the master, this king doesn't break in, you go and spread the word, if he sees this king, he doesn't have to fight, if he doesn't want to see it, don't blame this king for being polite!" Although you are strong in martial arts, can you stop the three of us? By the time you inform the monks in front of the temple, the king has already entered. Once this king enters, he will naturally be angry, and when the time comes, if he does something out of the ordinary, don't blame this king for being ruthless! ”

"Amitabha!" I don't know if the monk said the Buddha's name, and the tough attitude was obvious, and he didn't give an inch.

Xiao Rui got angry and gave Li Kui and Wu Zhanfa a look, and the two of them flew up and immediately became entangled with the unknown monk.

I don't know that the monk is worthy of being a master of the Wupin Realm, and he is guarding in front of the door, with one enemy and two, to stop Wu Zhanfa and Li Kui. And Li Kui and Wu are not inferior in tactics, and the three of them fight evenly without winning or losing.

Xiao Rui moved and walked to the wall, at this time, he didn't know that the monk was entangled by Li Kui and Wu Zhanfa, and he couldn't take care of Xiao Rui.

Just when Xiao Rui wanted to climb over the wall and enter the courtyard, an old voice suddenly sounded: "Stop!" ”

Xiao Rui followed the sound and saw an old monk standing in the iron gate, who didn't know that the monk's Zen staff flicked away Li Kui and Wu's combat methods, and then turned back and saluted: "Zen Master Jingxiu!" ”

Xiao Rui heard the sound and looked over, he stood in front of the door, Zen Master Jingxiu stood in the door, the two looked at each other, Zen Master Jingxiu folded his hands and said respectfully: "Poor monk Jingxiu, meet His Royal Highness King Xian, I have heard his name for a long time, and I am disrespectful." The hospitality is not good, please forgive your Highness! ”

Xiao Rui looked at his appearance and asked, "You have lived in the temple for a long time, you don't ask about the world, you don't ask about the big and small things in Pudu Temple, and you have heard of the reputation of this king?" This king is crowned king, it's this year's thing, so are you coaxing this king? ”

Zen Master Jingxiu sighed and said, "The monks don't speak, and the poor monk has indeed heard of His Royal Highness's name for a long time, because the poor monk knows that he will come sooner or later!" Your Highness, please come in and let the poor monks entertain you. ”

Xiao Rui got up and walked to the iron gate, this time he didn't know that the monk didn't stop him. Li Kui and Wu Zhanfa also wanted to follow, but they were stopped by the unknown monk, but they were also said by Zen Master Jingxiu: "Don't stop it, let these two donors enter!" You come in too! ”

Xiao Rui followed Zen Master Jingxiu into the house, which was simple and simple, with tables, chairs and benches under the hall, a bed on the east side, and a bookshelf on the west side, so there was nothing else.

Zen Master Jingxiu invited Xiao Rui to sit on the top seat, poured tea himself, and then sat opposite him.

Xiao Rui didn't drink tea, and said, "This king came to you, do you know what it is?" ”

"Kill me!" Zen Master Jingxiu did not hesitate and directly affirmed.

Xiao Rui stared at him and asked, "Why did you want to kill you?" ”

"The death of His Royal Highness's mother and concubine involved the poor monk, the so-called unjust debtor has the owner, the poor monk knew that today, and has been waiting, that is, let His Highness do it himself." Zen Master Jingxiu said with a smile.

Xiao Rui clenched his fists and asked, "So, you are really one of the culprits who killed her!" Since it is one of them, then there are other people, who are the others? ”

"Amitabha, the poor monk has nothing to say, if His Royal Highness wants to kill the poor monk, the poor monk is willing to die!" Monk Jingxiu said, and said to the unknown monk: "If Your Highness does it, you can't make a move!" As soon as the poor monk dies, your task will be completed, and you will return to the Lotus Temple as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!" I don't know what the monk should do.

Xiao Rui laughed angrily: "You think that if you die, you can cover up your accomplice?" Believe it or not, this king ordered to slaughter the entire Pudu Temple? ”

Zen Master Jingxiu said: "Your Highness has the courage and killing intent, but the current Your Highness does not have this ability, Your Majesty is benevolent and loves the people, how can you tolerate the prince's indiscriminate killing of innocents?" The poor monk has reported his death, and please ask His Highness to do it! ”

Xiao Rui shouted: "Since someone guides this king to find you, then he will find everyone, none of you can escape, I will kill all the accomplices!" Since you have a will to die, then this king will fulfill you! Tractor! ”

Li Kui responded, stepped forward and grabbed Zen Master Jingxiu, and strangled Zen Master Jingxiu's neck with his thick arms.

Jingxiu Zen Master Amitabha Buddha said, not afraid of death at all, but a kind of relief and ease.

"Do it!" Xiao Rui saw that he was desperate for death, so he would fulfill him.

"Crunch..."

Li Kui used his strength to directly break Zen Master Jingxiu's neck and let go of him, but the monk hurriedly held the body that was about to fall, and lifted Zen Master Jingxiu and put him on the bed.

Xiao Rui got up, flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, but who knew that the monk suddenly said: "Your Highness, go slowly!" ”

Xiao Rui looked at him and asked, "Are you going to stop this king?" ”

"The poor monk doesn't dare! The life and death of Zen Master Jingxiu has nothing to do with the poor monk, the poor monk asked His Highness to stay, because Zen Master Jingxiu left an item, saying that after his death, he would give it to His Highness! "I don't know the monk's way.

After speaking, the monk went to the bookshelf on the west side, took out an iron box, and handed it to Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui took the iron box and found that the box was very delicate and weighty, and the key mouth was also strange, and the gap between the closures was very small, and it was difficult to pry it open with a sharp weapon.

"Did he say anything?" Xiao Rui asked.

I don't know what the monk said: "The Zen master only said that this thing is a relic of His Royal Highness's mother, and the thing will be returned to the original owner." ”

Xiao Rui nodded, and glanced at Zen Master Jingxiu who seemed to be asleep, although he was dead, Xiao Rui was confused.

What is the origin of his mother? Why did you die?

Who was the woman I saw in Lishui County yesterday?

How many other murderers are there for my mother?

In addition to that, there are long-term tasks under the system, what does it want to do?

"Hey..." Xiao Rui sighed, feeling that this matter could not be done overnight, he was in a hurry, and he would know the truth after all.

When going down the mountain, the puja of Pudu Temple was going on, so they were all pilgrims going up the mountain, and the three of them went down the mountain against the crowd, like a boat against the current.

When he came to the bottom of the mountain, Xiao Rui came to the tea shop to ask for a bowl of tea, and his mood returned to normal.

He looked at the system:

"Mission completed, Advent value 40, current Advent value 100100, Wish value: 15, do you want to open Advent?"

"Turn on!" Xiao Rui did not hesitate at all.
