After walking out of Jian's house, Ouyang Ping and his entourage went to several shops next door and diagonally opposite to inquire about the situation of "peace" under the guidance of Jian Linshan.

Boss Qin of a noodle shop diagonally opposite provided a little information, but he only knew that "Heping"'s family lived near Bailuzhou Park, and "Heping" often mentioned Bailuzhou Park when chatting, and there was another place, which he also often mentioned, this place was the flower and bird market.

With a name, plus two approximate addresses, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone.

Ouyang Ping jotted down his name and address in his notebook.

After breaking up with Jian Linshan, everyone went to Ma Po Po Nunnery, and when they walked out of the alley, Ouyang Ping looked at his watch under the street lamp, the time was 8:50, and the comrades sat at Jian's house for more than an hour.

The gate of Granny Ma'an is closed.

Director Ma knocked three times before knocking on the door, and it was opened by a hunchbacked old nun with a flashlight in her hand.

"Who is the donor looking for?" The old nun spoke softly and weakly.

Director Ma stepped forward: "Mrs. Shi, excuse me." We are from the Public Security Bureau, and we want to find out a little bit about the situation. ”

Do you remember that when the comrades were investigating and visiting the bricks of the city wall, Ma Po Po Nunnery was not one of them?

"Please come in." Although Mrs. Shi used a polite word, it sounded cold and indifferent.

"Master, I don't know what to call you?" Ouyang Ping said.

"Poor Nifa will be flat."

"Master Huiping, I'm sorry to disturb you late at night."

"No trouble—no trouble—please come in." Mrs. Shi suddenly became much more enthusiastic.

Master Huiping led everyone into a meditation room.

The conversation began with a simple greeting: "Mrs. Shi, your temple has a long history and the scale is not small, why don't you continue the incense?" ”

"In the early years, the temple was smashed, and the Bodhisattvas were missing arms and legs, who would come to burn incense and worship the Buddha?"

The "early years" that Mr. Huiping refers to should refer to that turbulent era. During this period, monasteries and bodhisattvas were labeled as feudal superstitions. The Red Guards, in order to show the spirit of complete revolution, stormed the monastery and smashed the Bodhisattva.

"The above is very concerned about this matter, and someone has already come to see it, and the cost of repairs will be allocated in a few days."

By the 90s of the 20th century, the government put the promotion and development of religious undertakings on the agenda.

"Master, we heard that the house in your temple is for rent?"

"The house of the temple is never rented out, some donors want to live in the temple for a few nights, the temple will do some convenience, the donor gives a little incense money, the house of the temple is empty, some relatives come to the family, and there are also some relatives who live in the temple for a night or two. The temple does not charge money for these people. ”

"Is there still a benefactor in the temple who is staying overnight?"

"There is a donor. This man had been living in the monastery for some time. So far, I still haven't bothered. ”

"Why is that?"

"If she wants to become a monk here, she must have encountered emotional twists and turns."

"How old?"

"About thirty years old."

"Where are you from?"

"Buddhism doesn't ask where it comes from."

"There was a man named Wang Hongbao who once lived in your temple, do you remember?"

"Remember, the surname Wang opened a furniture store at the corner of the street, and the couple lived in this temple, and the surname Wang often donated incense money to the temple, and when it was empty, he would also burn a few pillars of incense in the main hall and worship the Bodhisattva."
