The note was yesterday, when Xuan Tan was chanting in the treasure hall, someone tied the letter with an arrow and nailed it to the pillar.

In this way, Xuan Tan's cultivation was disturbed, and during the water and land puja, everything must be concentrated, and there should be no slackness. Therefore, Xuan Tan had to wait for the arrival of Tang Yun and the others in the abbot's courtyard on this big day.

In fact, there was a misunderstanding between the two sides from the beginning.

Xuan Tan said: "Since it wasn't the note left by Lord Tang, the poor monk didn't think much about it. In half an hour, the water and land pujas will begin. Since the poor monk has waited again as agreed, if the person does not come, the fault is not with the poor monk. Now that his mind is over, the poor monk retired first. ”

Xuan Tan walked a few steps, and suddenly turned his head and added: "The matter investigated by the two of them involves thousands of people in the gods, and Xuan Tan knows the importance of it." Holding this Buddha bead, Longchen Temple can be unimpeded. ”

Xuan Tan sent a string of Buddha beads to Tang Yun's hand, folded his hands, recited the Buddha's name, and turned to leave.

"How much do you believe in Xuan Tan's words?" Lu Pengyuan asked Tang Yun.

Tang Yun picked up the piece of paper from the stone table, looked at the handwriting on it, and used the most commonly used regular script among the people today, but between the lines, it seemed a little weird. Because its strokes don't look smooth, as if they were drawn one stroke at a time.

Maybe it was the man's disguise to hide his original handwriting.

Tang Yun picked up the piece of paper and said, "Let's go and see where the national teacher encountered this arrow." ”

……

The statue of Shakyamuni Buddha sits on the middle altar of the Mahavira Treasure Hall, the treasure is solemn, overlooking the living beings in front of him.

The Daxiong Treasure Hall is the place where the monks practice on weekdays, and there are several futons neatly placed on the ground, and the treasure hall is filled with a trace of fragrance. On weekdays, there are many monks here to show off their homework, but today is the water and land puja, the dojo is located on Suzaku Street, and many monks go there, so it seems a little deserted here.

Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan found the pillar that had been pierced by the arrow, this pillar was on the left side of the pillar that had just entered the treasure hall, the inside was a masonry structure, and the outside was covered with a layer of lacquered wood, so the arrow could easily pierce the outer wooden layer and hit the stone pillar inside.

"The national teacher meditates, even if there is no one around, there will be a warrior monk outside. The person who left the note obviously wouldn't come in from the outside. Tang Yun analyzed.

Lu Pengyuan glanced at the outside of the treasure hall, where the line of sight was wide, and there were only two relatively small Buddha halls in the east and west.

Lu Pengyuan muttered: "The arrow pierced the pillar on the west side, obviously coming from the winter side, there is only one reclining Buddha hall in that direction, but the windows of that Buddha hall are sealed, even if you stand at the door, such a distance, it is a little difficult." ”

He was a general, and he had spent his days on the battlefield, so he knew how difficult it would be to send such an arrow.

The arrows sent out will always have a certain arc, and the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall is not small, but most of them will only look at two doors when they practice on weekdays. There are also a few beams under the door plaque, not to mention that there is an incense burner at the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

The man needed to drop the arrow, pass an accurate arc, and have a certain amount of strength to pierce the wooden layer outside the column.

A crossbow is required, not only with accuracy, but also with enough power to pierce through the outermost layer of wood.

Tang Yun thought in his head, he had seen a lot of archers in the Mobei Army, some of them had special hard bows, and every time they opened the bow, they needed to recuperate for a period of time. Then he will shoot his bow, and the arrow will be hit.

Those bows and crossbows are made of the unique thunder ironwood of Mobei, which grows in the desert and has a harsh living environment, but no matter how harsh the environment, the thunder ironwood can grow well. The thunder iron wood that grows out of such an environment is very hard.
