Chapter 287: Thousand Rings Temple (Part II)
"Qianming Temple is a temple on the West Mountain, usually incense is continuous, many people who believe in Buddhism go to worship, I and Sister Xiaoqing will occasionally go, but we mostly go to relax, but it is not sincere to worship the Buddha, is it related to our blasphemy of the Buddha?" Xu Caiwei looked at Mu Yi with wide eyes.
"Blasphemy? You're thinking too much. Mu Yi shook his head, not to mention that he didn't worship the Buddha sincerely, even if he smashed the Buddha statue, it would be impossible to attract ghosts and ghosts.
Hearing Mu Yi say this, Xu Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, when she said it just now, she was also a little scared in her heart, after all, most people at this time believe that there are gods who are three feet above their heads, in case this is really the case, I am afraid that she will have trouble sleeping and eating, and it is estimated that she will have to go to the Buddha to make amends.
"What's so strange about that Thousand Rings Temple?" Mu Yi continued to ask.
"Strange place?" Xu Caiwei thought about it carefully before saying, "Is it strange that there are a thousand bells in Qianming Temple?" ”
"A thousand clocks?" Mu Yi was a little surprised, he originally thought that the name was just a random name, but he didn't expect that there were really a thousand bells, what temple used a thousand bells?
"To be precise, it is a thousand bells the size of a fist, hanging all over the temple, as long as the only big bell is ringed, the thousand small bells will also have a sound to come out, it is very famous, so it is called Qianming Temple." Xu Caiwei explained.
"Qianming Temple, a thousand small bells hanging all over the temple?" Mu Yi's face became slightly solemn, "What else?" Is there anything else special? ”
"I don't know anything else." Xu Caiwei shook her head, after all, she is not a true believer in Buddhism, and her understanding of Qianming Temple is limited to a few times.
As for Yan Li, he is not even as good as Xu Caiwei, as the prefect of a county, it is impossible for him to go to that kind of place publicly, and he is also not a person who believes in Buddhism, and he doesn't even have a good impression of the temple, in his opinion, it is just demagogy.
Especially after his daughter's accident, he also invited the host of Qianming Temple, but the other party actually claimed that he was old and could not do anything, which made his sense of Qianming Temple worse.
Right now, he knew that his daughter might be caused by Qianming Temple, and he was already holding back a cloud of anger in his heart, and he hated to take someone to destroy Qianming Temple immediately.
"Uncle Yan, I remember that there should be people in the yamen who believe in Buddhism, right? Why don't you call and ask. Xu Caiwei said suddenly.
"Yes, yes, I'll go find someone now." Yan Li's eyes lit up, he didn't know about Qianming Temple, could it be that so many people in the government didn't know about it? Even if there is no one in the government, there will always be him in the entire city? As long as he wants, he can definitely find someone who understands.
"Cai Wei, you sit with the Taoist chief for a while, and I'll go find someone now." After Yan Li finished speaking, he confessed to Mu Yi again before leaving in a hurry.
After Yan Li left, Mu Yi closed his eyes directly, while suppressing the floating injury, while thinking about everything just now, the possessed Xu Qing is very strong, or it can be said to be very weird, the Qianming Temple mentioned by Xu Caiwei before gave him a premonition, maybe Xu Qing's possession is really related to this, and maybe everything can be revealed there.
Mu Yi is not a curious person, but he promised others things to do naturally, if he fled because of difficulties, he would inevitably plant a seed of escape in his heart, and he might be fine now, but when Mu Yi wants to complete himself in the future and wants to break through, this seed will become a big disaster.
Therefore, cultivators do not want to owe favors to others, and they do not want to have karmic entanglements with others.
Half an hour later, Mu Yi opened her eyes, during this process, Xu Caiwei has been sitting cautiously on the side, even breathing as lightly as possible, for fear of disturbing Mu Yi, originally she still had a little thought about Mu Yi, but now, she only has awe in her heart.
Xu Caiwei is a smart woman, she knows who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked, there is no doubt that the Mu Yi in front of her, who does not seem to be big, belongs to the latter.
"Dao Chief, the dinner party is ready, why don't you use the banquet first?"
Seeing Mu Yi wake up, Xu Caiwei immediately said that it was already close to evening when the two came, and after such a long delay, it was already dark outside.
"Don't worry, can Governor Yan find someone?" Mu Yi asked directly.
"Found it, waiting outside." Xu Caiwei said immediately.
"Well, please call him in, and it's not too late to eat when you figure it out." Mu Yi said.
Subsequently, Xu Caiwei went out and brought in a man about forty years old, this man was wearing a green shirt, his face was fair, but there was a hint of caution in his eyes, obviously, before he came in, he had been admonished.
"Xu Hui has seen the Taoist."
"Are you familiar with the Thousand Sounds Temple?" Mu Yi asked.
"If you go back to the Taoist, Xu is friends with the abbot of Qianming Temple, and he has been in the temple a lot in the past, so he is quite familiar with him." Xu Hui looked at Mu Yi curiously as he spoke.
"In addition to the thousand small bells in Qianming Temple, is there anything strange about it? Let's say forbidden land. ”
"Forbidden land?" Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, but then shook his head, "Xu has never heard that there is a forbidden place in the temple, as for some strange places, I don't know if it is the kind that the Taoist chief wants to know." ”
"Tell me about it."
"There is spring water on the mountain, but the spring water is cold and biting, whether it is boiled or not, ordinary people drink it, it is mild diarrhea, serious illness, Xu once asked the abbot, but he didn't know." Xu Hui said.
"Spring? What else? Mu Yi continued to ask.
"In addition to the spring water, it is said that the temple was haunted a few years ago." Xu thought about it and said.
"Haunted?" Yan Li, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but exclaim, and even Xu Caiwei's eyes widened, because even they didn't know about this matter, and they hadn't even heard of this kind of rumor.
"Yes, it is haunted, because this matter is secret, so it is not known to outsiders, this matter is still Xu heard an old monk in the temple talk about, it seems that five years ago, because of an earthquake, the golden body of the Buddha enshrined in the temple suddenly cracked, and a monk who served the Buddha at that time turned into a ghost and made trouble in the temple, but fortunately it was quickly suppressed. After this incident, Qianming Temple took advantage of the earthquake to close the temple for a month, and re-molded a golden Buddha statue, which is said to suppress the evil ghosts of hell, of course, there are also rumors that Qianming Temple suppressed a hell entrance, but this matter is too ridiculous, it is a rumor, not credible. After Xu Hui finished speaking, he glanced at Mu Yi, not knowing if he would make the other party unhappy when he said this kind of rumor.
Fortunately, he saw that although Mu Yi was contemplative, he did not feel unhappy, so he put his mind at ease.
He Xu Hui finally got a show talent resonance, although it was unattainable for ordinary people, but in the eyes of the lord of Yifu, it was nothing, so when Yan Li found him, he immediately knew that the opportunity had come.
At this time, let alone let him reveal the secrets of Qianming Temple, even if he told the bad things he had done in his life, he would definitely not hesitate.
"I also remembered that five years ago, when I took office, there was indeed an earthquake in the city, but the scope was not large, and only a few dozen dilapidated houses fell in the city, and a few people died." Yan Li also added next to Xu Hui after listening to Xu Hui's words.
Regardless of whether the rumor is credible or not, the earthquake five years ago is indeed true, and many things can be checked, such as the closure of Qianming Temple for a month, although it has been five years, but I believe that with a heart, it can definitely be checked.
As for reshaping the golden body of the Buddha, although it is a little more difficult, there can also be clues, so at this point, it is impossible for Xu Hui to lie, let alone lie at the risk of offending Yan Li.
Of course, the most important point is that Mu Yi can tell if he is lying based on Xu Hui's unconscious fluctuations.
"Five years ago? In the earthquake, the golden body of the Buddha cracked, and some people turned into ghosts. Mu Yi quickly analyzed in his mind, in fact, to this extent, he could basically confirm that the problem was in Qianming Temple.
But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to be able to solve it, before entering the courtyard next time, I'm afraid he needs to go to Qianming Temple first, because there are all the mysteries hidden there.
"Tomorrow, I will trouble Your Excellency to take me up the mountain." Mu Yi looked at Xu Hui and said.
"Everything is as the Taoist chief instructs." Xu Hui immediately said, the prefect's daughter was possessed by a ghost, this matter is not a secret thing, after all, for more than a year, many people have been invited inside and out, but none of them succeeded, at the beginning, maybe it could be kept secret, but after a long time, everyone naturally knows it, although they dare not discuss it in public, but secretly, it is still no problem to talk about it.
So when Xu Hui saw Mu Yi, he knew what the reason was.
The next day, under the leadership of Xu Hui, Mu Yi came to Qianming Temple, followed by Xu Caiwei, although it is a temple, but it is not forbidden to female guests, as for Yan Li, it is also the respect of a house, it is impossible to come here, of course, he also sent two people in the house to follow, if there is any trouble, someone will solve it at that time.
When Mu Yi went up the mountain, it happened to ring the morning bell, and with a melodious bell scattered, the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain seemed to disperse all at once, if you listened carefully, the bell seemed to contain the sound emitted by countless small bells, because they were fused together, so it was difficult to distinguish.
When the bell rang, Mu Yi spread out his mental strength, and felt it carefully, the rippling sound made his mind feel a pressure, and fortunately there was still some distance from the temple, so the feeling was not very deep.
However, this is enough to show that Qianming Temple is not simple, and the big bell and the thousand small bells are also not simple.
"Qianming Temple, worthy of its name." Mu Yi said softly.
"It's a pity that we were a little late, otherwise we would have listened in the temple." Xu Caiwei said with some regret.
"If Madame wants to hear it, I'll have someone knock it again." A housekeeper in the Yan Mansion immediately said.
"Nope." Xu Caiwei shook her head, and most of her eyes fell on Mu Yi's body.
"In fact, only the first morning bell in Qianming Temple is the best, and the second one is not good." Xu Hui said beside him.
In the midst of the discussion, the group finally set foot on the Qianming Temple.
