Chapter Twenty-Three: The Three Monks

Abbot Shi Yanxin pointed to the teapot and said:

"Look at this tea leaf, up and down,

It's like a human being. ”

This folk scientist lives alone in a courtyard at the foot of the mountain, with his two acres of land in front of and behind the house, and instead of growing crops or vegetables, he has planted some flowering trees, such as jujube, pear, locust and osmanthus trees. He makes a living from beekeeping, and these trees, as well as the rhododendrons that spread all over the mountains, are a source of honey.

The police made a plan to arrest the man, first surround the courtyard, and then let Slender Qiang and Fat Tiger control Gao Gong's plane.

Gao Gong built three planes, only one of which could fly, and it was parked in the yard, covered with old blue and white tarpaulins.

There were many beehives placed in front of the house and behind the house, and the police alarmed the bees in the beehives during the night surrounding. The bees poured out of their nests, and immediately there was a buzzing sound in the air. The police waved away, triggering a swarm of bees. Those bees swarm and sting when they see people. A bee grabbing a thin ear is a needle, and the thin and strong pain is so painful that it groans; The fat tiger dances in an attempt to disperse the bees' attacks; As soon as he was about to speak, a bee landed on his lips and stung him, and a large bag immediately swollen on his mouth.

A squad of policemen fled, almost every one of them was stung in the face a few times, and ran far away, finally hearing the buzzing of bees.

Fat Tiger said: "We are really crying wolves and weeping." ”

Slender Qiang said: "Brother, you used the idiom correctly this time, those bees are too scary." ”

Secretary Zhao said: "The person was not caught, and he became this ghost." I thought you were beaten by hundreds of people. ”

Hualong said: "Haha, take out your mobile phone, let's take a group photo, I will send it to Professor Liang and Xiaobao and Xiaomei to take a look." ”

Secretary Zhao looked at the red and swollen sausage mouth of the painted dragon, couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud.

The arrest failed, and the senior engineer and the thief Cloak absconded overnight, and their whereabouts are unknown.

The police put the two on an online chase list and are wanted nationwide. The online pursuit system is very powerful, and all public security departments and police departments across the country are closely cooperating to fight as a whole, and it is only a matter of time before these two people are captured. As long as they use their ID cards and the mobile phone numbers and bank cards associated with their ID cards, they will be discovered by the police, thus revealing their whereabouts.

At the same time, the anti-counterfeiting studio set up by the public security organs and the bank found three counterfeit banknotes one after another.

After identification, the three counterfeit banknotes belonged to the same batch as those used in the thief's cape. The police's biggest fear has emerged, the stolen banknote templates from the bank vault have been used by criminals to print a large number of counterfeit banknotes, and into the market, these counterfeit banknotes can pass through the money detector, and there is no big difference between the real banknotes, and ordinary citizens can hardly distinguish the real from the fake.

By tracing the source of the three counterfeit banknotes, the police made a startling discovery.

First, there is a college entrance examination champion in this city, the family is poor, in order to supplement the family, he has been picking up waste since elementary school, middle school uses winter and summer vacations to work, college entrance examination with excellent results to be admitted to a prestigious school, but it is difficult to pay the tuition and miscellaneous fees during the university. The newspaper reported this, originally to appeal to everyone to donate money for help, however, Haoqiang's mother declined all funding, not wanting to owe favors. One day, a monk came to the house, claiming to be a monk from the Buddhist Charity Foundation, who read the news and wanted to donate 50,000 yuan. My mother, who believed in Buddhism, only accepted this donation, and when she deposited the money in the bank, it was found to be counterfeit.

2. In the corridor outside the hospital's hematology ward, a young father sits in a chair and holds his six-year-old daughter, who has just been diagnosed with leukemia. Dad felt powerless and couldn't afford the high cost of treatment

Fees, next, can only watch the beautiful and lovely daughter leave this world. The daughter looked up and said, "Dad, let's go home, I still have to go to school in the afternoon." Dad's tears flowed out, and he felt distressed for a while, and he didn't know what to say. At this time, a monk came over, asked about the situation, and left a bag of money, which was twenty bundles of 10,000 yuan each. The $200,000 later went to the bank and was identified as a counterfeit.

3. A remote and isolated mountain village, very backward and poor, with rugged and narrow mountain roads, which are impassable on rainy and snowy days. There are only a few hundred people in the village, and every year it is decreasing, and no girl wants to marry into this village. If you want to get rich, you must first build a road, and the village chief's greatest wish is to build a winding road for the village. This road is the hope of a village, however, the county and township governments are financially constrained, and the road construction project is far away. A monk traveled to the village and donated a large sum of money in the name of the Buddhist Charity Foundation - 500,000 yuan in cash.

The police found that three monks were doing good deeds with counterfeit banknotes.

Hualong sent a photo of his blue nose and swollen face to Professor Liang, Bao Chu, and Su Mei through WeChat.

Su Mei replied: "Brother Hualong has become handsome, and his lips are very sexy." ”

Bao Shu said: "Brother Hualong, this is stung by a bee, pull out the stinger, wash it with soapy water, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

"I'm on vacation, gardening with my granddaughter, so there's nothing important to bother me," Professor Leung said. ”

Hualong replied: "My photos can't be seen in vain, you can help me with advice, how to solve the case next?" ”

The special case team once again gave full play to the advantages of the team, and everyone brainstormed and finally determined a direction for investigation. The thief cloak and the senior engineer belong to the gang, but they are not the core backbone, and the case is related to the temple, involving monks who are monks, and the den of counterfeit money is likely to be hidden in a temple in the surrounding area.

"We will next investigate all the temples in the city and make sure to find this den of counterfeit money," he said. ”

Secretary Zhao said: "If the city can't find it, it will expand the scope to the whole province, and the whole province will also look for these temples one by one." ”

Slender Qiang said: "In the holy land of Buddhism, it is not easy for the police to carry out a search, and they must always take into account the influence of public opinion." ”

Fat Tiger said: "We have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, it's best to find a reason, we can also get out of the shell." ”

Secretary Zhao said: "On the grounds of inspecting the fire safety of the temple, they all wear police uniforms on the secret visits, at least it has a deterrent effect, so that those lawless monks can restrain themselves and print less counterfeit money." ”

Gao Gong, a member of the gang, lives at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain is called Chengyun Mountain, and there is a temple on the mountain, called Chengyun Temple.

The temple is like a large quadrangle, there is a hall of the Mahavira Treasure Hall, dedicated to the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, the left is the Garan Hall, the right is the Guanyin Hall, as well as the Dharma Hall, the Zhai Hall and the Zen room where the monks live, and there are two independent buildings, namely the Bell and Drum Tower and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, as well as the lay dormitory for pilgrims and volunteers to live temporarily.

There are more than a dozen monks in Izumo Temple, the abbot is called Yanxin, and the monks are all surnamed Shi.

When Shi Yanxin first arrived at Izumoji Temple, there were ruins everywhere, and the incense burner was toppled and covered with dust. In the past few years, the great monk Shi Yanxin has rebuilt the long-abandoned temple from brick by brick, and the funds are donated by good men and women, and he also owes a project money to the construction company. Later, the construction company waived the money. Shi Yanxin is a merit monument at this moment, standing on the side of the mountain gate.

Shi Yanxin said: "Building a temple is a kind of practice. ”

The monk's life is very hard, he gets up when he hears the bell, sleeps when he hears the drum, goes to the hall when he hears the board, and smells the hall through the hall, every day and every year.

Every morning at four o'clock in the morning, the bell rings, and the monks get up and gather together

Temple, recite the "Lengyan Mantra", "Great Compassion Mantra", "Ten Little Mantras" and "Heart Sutra". At seven o'clock, eat breakfast, white porridge, steamed buns, pickles, and do not talk during the meal. After fasting, or labor, or sitting meditation. Then there is the incense, the monks walk around the Buddha shrine, and the incense is also called running incense, similar to a kind of physical exercise. Lunch at eleven o'clock, all vegetarian. The monk does not eat at lunch, and eats two meals a day, only breakfast and lunch. Afternoon meditation. At half past four in the afternoon, I had an evening class and recited scriptures. Seven o'clock, listen to the law. At nine o'clock, beat the drums, stop the great silence, and start sleeping.

Drawing dragons, thin and strong, and fat tigers investigated Izumo Temple, and all three of them wore police uniforms, and a monk in the temple received them.

The three inspected the temple's halls, kitchens, and monks' houses, inspected fire extinguishers, fire hydrants and other fire-fighting facilities in the temple, and learned about the use of oil, fire, electricity, gas, and incense and candles in the temple. The knowledge of fire safety and the problems that need to be rectified were preached on the spot.

During the inspection, the three of them discovered an anomaly, the temple has been using electricity a little more recently than in the past.

Hualong said: "The monks don't speak, you can be honest, what's the matter with the excessive electricity in your temple?" ”

"The temple is overloaded with electricity, which can easily cause fire hazards. ”

Fat Tiger said: "Otherwise, what kind of underground processing factory was secretly opened in your temple?" ”

The monk blushed a little, and said hesitantly: "I don't know much about electricity, I have to ask the abbot." ”

Abbot Shi Yanxin received the three people in the guest hall tearoom, this person is a fat monk with a fat head and big ears, nearly forty years old, wearing monk's robes. He burned incense and cleaned his hands, made a few cups of tea, and the fragrance of tea filled the room, which made people feel calm. Abbot Shi Yanxin explained: "In the hot summer, the air conditioning in the main hall, the side hall and the monk's room is always on, so the electricity bill is a little more than before. ”

This reason was irrefutable, and the three of them had to drink tea and chat.

There is a painting on the wall of the tea room: Tea Zen Yiwei.

Fat Tiger drank tea belonging to the cow drink, and after drinking cup after cup, he casually asked: "What does tea Zen mean?" ”

Abbot Shi Yanxin pointed to the teapot and said, "Look at this tea, it is like a human life." ”

Tulong asked, "What did the abbot do before he became a monk?" ”

Shi Yanxin said: "The past, don't talk about it, I also went through some ups and downs to get here." ”

Slender Qiang said: "I can't drink what kind of tea this is, but it tastes quite fragrant." ”

Abbot Shi Yanxin said: "Tea is planted in the back mountain, and the best water for making tea is mountain spring water, Jiangxin water, well flower water, plum blossom snow water, and bamboo drain water." However, the three of you are served with tap water from the temple. ”

Hualong said: "You old monk looks down on us policemen." ”

Abbot Shi Yanxin said: "When, when you take off your police uniforms and sincerely worship the Buddha, when you come to the temple to drink tea, it is naturally a good tea and good water hospitality." ”

Hualong said: "This is an eviction order, I still have a question, how much incense money can your temple receive every month?" ”

Shi Yanxin said: "The temple is an offering from all directions, and it is the kindness of the donors, and there are records to check every month. ”

Hualong cautiously asked, "Will some donors stuff fake money into the merit box, have you found out?" ”

Abbot Shi Yanxin was a little angry, stood up and walked two steps, suddenly stopped, and asked, "What is money?" ”

Fat Tiger smiled, took out his wallet, and said, "These are the money." ”

Abbot Shi Yanxin said: "Falling flowers and flowing water are all money, and money is the rain in summer, the snow in winter, and the clouds in the sky. You look at money just money, you look at a table, you look at a cup of tea, there is no mystery, the Buddha looks at cause and effect. ”
