Xuan Tan sat in the abbot's courtyard, wearing a robe draped over his body, his face was kind, the table and stool were placed under the tree, and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful.

Tang Yun frowned, this was not a person's reaction, Xuan Tan thought that he had already expected him to come, could it be that he really had something to do with this matter.

A monk knocked on the door outside, and Xuan Tan shouted, "What's the matter?" ”

"Outside the mountain gate, there is Lu Pengyuan, the general of the right Xiaowei, who asked him to see his master, and the senior brothers can't get rid of him no matter how much they persuade him." The voice of a young monk was heard outside.

Xuan Tan said: "Since the guest has arrived, then invite him in." ”

The young monk hesitated: "However, Master, you still have to preside over the water and land puja, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to meet now." ”

Xuan Tan smiled: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, you go and invite him in." ”

The young monk's footsteps left, but Tang Yun did not sit down, his hand kept on the hilt of his sword.

Seeing that Tang Yun was still always on guard, Xuan Tan shook his head with a smile and took a sip of tea: "Today is the first day of the water and land puja, and when the time comes, you will go to the dojo enchantment to sprinkle clean, recite scriptures, and make offerings to the gods and Buddhas of the eight directions." Therefore, if there is anything to say, Lord Tang still told me clearly. ”

Tang Yun frowned: "You seem to have expected me to come here a long time ago?" ”

Xuan Tan said: "Why your lord is here today, you and I know it. According to the "Water and Land Ceremony", at this moment the poor monk should do a morning lecture in front of the Buddha, it is already rude to come here, and I hope that Lord Tang will make it clear. ”

Tang Yun looked at Xuan Tan's appearance, and suddenly felt a little uncertain in his heart. He could tell that Xuan Tan's expression didn't look like a fake.

All of this is really just speculation. Whether it is the jade Buddha sold on the street or the tragedy that happened in Yunyang County, it seems to have nothing to do with Longchen Temple.

However, at this moment, we should not think too much, and if we want to know more answers, we need to ask clearly.

Tang Yun was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a steady footstep approaching, the door was knocked, and the voice of a young monk came from outside: "Master, General Lu is here." ”

Xuan Tan said: "Please let him in." ”

A young monk walked in, this is a child from the Western Regions, his eyes are dark blue, his skin is a little dark, he is wearing a Hunan monk's robe, and he is followed by Lu Pengyuan.

Lu Pengyuan's eyes widened, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Xuan Tan under the tree, and hugged his fists and said: "National teacher, I, Lu Pengyuan, am a rough man in the army, and I am very offensive, and I hope that the national teacher will forgive me." There are some things that need to be verified by the national teacher in person. ”

Xuan Tan waved his hand: "Silence, you retreat first." ”

The little monk bowed and left, and by the way, he brought the door, and the entire abbot's courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Xuan Tan opened his hand and signaled that Lu Pengyuan could speak.

Lu Pengyuan stared at Xuan Tan: "The matter is urgent, and Lu Mou said it directly." Living children outside Yunyang County sacrificed, Buddha statues were enshrined in Taiqing Temple, or jade Buddhas were peddled in the Shendu City, this is the truth, but the national teacher instructed people to do it? ”

Xuan Tan was silent for a long time, and said: "The poor monk doesn't know anything about this matter, but he has heard of peddling the Jade Buddha. The Jade Buddha was sought after by the people from all over the world in the Shendu City, and the Dharma was preached, and the poor monks were still very pleased. ”

No murderer will admit to killing himself.

Tang Yun said beside him: "Since the national teacher doesn't know about this, he knows that the monsters caused trouble in the Shendu that day, and now, locust demons have appeared watching near the Shendu. Those monsters that are as tall as a foot tall can easily kill people. Right now, in the city of the Divine Capital, many people are gathered together because of this water and land puja. If this monster appears again, the national teacher, when the time comes, the blood will flow like a river, and you can't afford this karmic fruit. ”

Xuan Tan listened silently, without any expression on his face, and folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, the people are here because they believe in Buddhism, and they should not be killed." It turns out that the adults are here for this matter, but the water and land puja has been arranged, and it will take seven days, if it is not held, there will be a great disaster. ”

Tang Yun said: "A kind of jade Buddha that is popular on the market today, the workmanship is very rough, but this jade Buddha can cause locust demon rage, I want to ask the national teacher, can the jade Buddha have Longchen Temple mixed into it?" ”

Xuan Tan Zhengse said: "It is only the first day of the water and land puja now, and the enchantment has not yet been sprinkled, and the temple will send an envoy on the second day." Moreover, the Buddhist tools produced by Longchen Temple will be supervised and responsible, and the workmanship is excellent, and there is no possibility of shoddy products. ”

When the clue arrives here, it is indeed broken.

Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan glanced at each other, and they both saw the anxiety in each other's eyes.

Not only the two of them, but the whole god was on guard. The water and land puja has begun, and a large number of soldiers have already been ambushed outside the city, and if there is any trouble, they will be reported in time.

The Demon Hunters are scattered in every corner of the Divine Capital, and they are still doing their last best to collect the remaining Jade Buddhas.

Because they found that the number of Jade Buddhas was even higher!

Just got up early in the morning, and a jade Buddha suddenly appeared in the homes of many people in the city. These jade Buddhas appear abruptly, but many people give this as a Buddha to themselves, and many people wear it.

The search for the Demon Hunt Division has never been more difficult.

Shendu people like to reveal the things they wear, and often glance at the necks and hands of those noble women, which are jewels, rich and moving. Therefore, when the demon catcher stepped forward to ask for the jade Buddha on the neck of a noble girl, what he got was a heavy, round and delicate jade Buddha.

Often scolded one by one, the person who made the jade Buddha seems to be much more skilled, and they have made the jade pendant into different styles, so it is difficult to distinguish.

"My father is a heavenly official Shangshu, you dog minions, don't get out of here quickly!" An eldest lady scolded and a group of soldiers dispersed.

In addition to the Demon Hunting Division, who also fulfilled their responsibilities, those Shendu Mansion officials who came to assist, and even the soldiers of the Right Xiao Guard, were a little scattered. After all, in the Shendu, there are so many nobles that maybe one of them will offend a nobleman if he is not careful.

No one thinks that youkai will come back, and time will make people remember a lot, and it will also make them forget a lot. When so many monsters appeared, weren't they still settled?

Tang Yun knew that he had to find out the truth of the matter before the water and land puja actually took place.

Last time, Suzaku appeared in the world and burned ten thousand demons, but that was just the last resort left by Emperor Yang to future generations.

It's no longer useful, and if you want to get rid of the monster completely, you have to rely on manpower.

Tang Yun suddenly asked, "National Teacher, how did you know that we were coming?" ”

"Someone left me a note asking me to meet here today. The poor monk has always been reluctant to wait for me, so even if he misses the puja, he has to wait here. Xuan Tan took out a note from his arms and handed it to Tang Yun.

Tang Yun took the note, on which were written in block letters with a few big characters: "May 7th, meet in the temple".

Tang Yun said in a deep voice: "This is not what I left for you. ”

Yes, there is another person who came to see Xuan Tan.

Still is...... Someone, presumably led them here.

Tang Yun turned his head abruptly and looked in the direction of Suzaku Street. At this moment, Suzaku Street is crowded, and the water and land puja has slowly begun.
