Chapter 57, Windfall
In the main hall, there were hundreds of men sitting cross-legged, their expressions were serious, as if they were meditating, and the scene was somewhat spectacular. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the center is a golden glow of Guanyin monk, a few feet high, majestic and majestic, in front of which sits cross-legged an old monk in a robe.
His eyebrows and long beard were a little white, although his forehead was engraved with traces of time, but he felt like a fairy wind bone, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he opened his eyes half-closed, looking in the direction of Shi Jia and Mu Zisheng.
Shi Jia and Mu Zisheng looked at this scene with surprise in their eyes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are very shocked, because these hundreds of people are neatly arranged, and there is no sound at all, plus the old monks sitting on the stage, if they don't think it is a temple fair, they think that these are Buddhist disciples.
Hundreds of people are facing away from the two of them, if you look at Shi Jia head-on, it is terrible, this is a temple fair, where ladies are not allowed to come, and suddenly ran out of a Shi Jia, if you find it, there may be a lot of trouble, but Shi Jia can also come.
Although according to their consciousness, women belong to yin, summon ghosts, and are hoodoos in the place of gods, but the police are different, the police have a righteous and official spirit, and naturally Shi Jia can also come to this kind of place.
Shi Jia and Mu Zisheng were looking forward to rising, when suddenly a little monk came over, stopped them, and looked at the two of them strangely.
Because, the first temple clearly required that women should not leave the house on the day of the temple fair.
Second, they didn't look like they were from the country, after all, their clothes were revealing.
As a monk of the monastery, although he was a little surprised in his heart, he also understood etiquette, and saw the little monk put his palms together, bowed and whispered:
"Two donors, please come with the little monk."
Mu Zisheng and Shi Jia looked at each other for a while, and then followed the little monk away.
The three of them went around the main hall and went to the back of the main hall, and did not see a few monks along the way, although the whole temple looks a little big, but there are not many people, and how many people are willing to become monks in their lives now.
The little monk took Mu Zisheng and Shi Jia to the back room, it looked like some time, the walls of the room were all made of wood, and it looked a little rotten, but the taste was not the smell of dead branches and leaves, but it felt like there were bursts of sandalwood.
"The two donors are not locals at first glance, what is the reason for the small temple?"
Shi Jia smelled the sandalwood fragrance carefully, feeling extremely simple and strong, and then replied:
"Little master, we are indeed not locals, we are from outside to this village to find people, I heard that there is a temple fair today, so we came to see it, I thought it was very lively, but little master, why do those people sit cross-legged and meditate?"
The little monk looked in the direction of the main hall, since the two of them are not locals, it is normal that they don't know the customs here, otherwise she shouldn't come in front of her, and she can't let the villagers see her, otherwise they think it will bring misfortune, which is why the little monk brought them to the back.
The little monks didn't worry about what they were doing, because there was nothing to do in this place, maybe to ask for marriage, to make a wish in front of the Sansheng Stone, or to write the wish on a strip of red cloth and tie it to the marriage tree, and there was nothing else to do.
"Only quiet contemplation and meditation will you understand yourself."
Shi Jia and Mu Zisheng nodded as if they didn't understand, and Mu Zisheng asked curiously:
"How old is this ancient temple?"
The little monk shook his head, closed his eyes and read something in his mouth, Mu Zisheng had to scratch his head in embarrassment, and then his expression turned into a serious observation of this temple, with his knowledge, he should be able to know soon.
About ten minutes later, the old monk in front of Guanyin came to Shi Jia's room, and the little monk quickly called out respectfully to the master, and the old monk motioned for him to go out.
"Keep you two waiting!"
Shi Jia and Mu Zisheng nodded confusedly, their expressions very blank.
The old monk saw their expressions, and then smiled,
"Oh, I actually arranged for him to bring you here."
In this way, Mu Zisheng and Shi Jia still understand, but what is the purpose of this? Or is it just that I am afraid that those villagers will find Shi Jia.
The two put their hands together and bowed respectfully to the old monk.
The old monk observed the two, with the experience of the old monk, the two are by no means ordinary people, first of all, not to mention clothes or anything, as far as Shi Jia is concerned, her forehead is shiny, her eyes are transparent and deep, as if unpredictable, plus a righteous spirit, the old monk more or less guessed who they are.
"Presumably the two of you are police comrades!"
The old monk said with a harmonious face, Shi Jia and Mu Zisheng looked at each other again, and replied with a smile:
"The master's eyesight is really outstanding, I am a policeman with him, he is my temporary partner, today I came to M Village to inquire about some things, I heard that there is a temple fair, come to see the excitement."
The old monk continued to laugh and said:
"If it is not expected by the old man, but you can also ask me if you have any questions, although I have not been out of this temple for more than forty years, I know almost everything about the big and small things in the village."
Shi Jia had a question in his heart, he hadn't been out of this temple for more than forty years, and it seemed that he had been a monk for a long time, but he shouldn't know about Liu Ruoyan's case, after all, there should be no one in the village who knew, with the attitude of trying, Shi Jia began to ask,
"Does the master know about Liu Ruoyan?"
The old monk frowned when he heard this name, and immediately said:
"This woman's reputation is not very good, the old man has naturally heard of it, and she came to this temple a year ago to ask for a sign and write a red cloth strip."
"A year ago?" Shi Jia was surprised, and Mu Zisheng was also surprised, because Liu Ruoyun said that Liu Ruoyan hadn't been back home for two years, why did she come to this temple a year ago?
The old monk nodded,
"Exactly, do you have any questions?"
Shi Jia and Mu Zisheng glanced at each other again, but they also shook their heads when they had doubts in their hearts.
"No, but does the Master know she's dead?"
When the old monk heard the news, he immediately folded his hands and closed his eyes and muttered:
"Amitabha, good, good."
Shi Jia looked at the old monk embarrassedly, and said:
"Master, since she came to this temple a year ago, and you know her, what unusual behavior did she have?"
The old monk opened his eyes and recalled:
"I felt that she was not in a very good state, so I begged for a sign, hung up a red cloth and left in a hurry."
None of this worked, but the red strip seemed to have caught the attention of the two of them, and maybe there was some clue on the red strip.
The two inquired about the approximate location of the red cloth strip, and the two went to the marriage tree to find the cloth strip left by Liu Ruoyan, and the hard work paid off, and when the two got the cloth strip, their eyes lit up a lot, which was indeed a major clue.
The two did not stay long, while the villagers were still in the main hall, they left in a hurry, and then passed the top of the mountain, the two were still out of breath, but there was more joy in their hearts, this time they came to the Three Provinces Temple to see the excitement, but they did not expect to get more accurate clues.
