The more he knew, the more uneasy Zhou Mengyuan became, he never expected that this grandiose official magistrate turned out to be the real culprit who was greedy for money and shameless and looted his own house.

Don't dare to delay, and don't dare to place high hopes. For the sake of the dead loved ones and innocent lives, the worst has been prepared.

Zhou Mengyuan only went to the county to urge the case.

At the gate of the county office, if he wanted to beat the drum last time, he was fiercely stopped by the guards.

"Don't beat the drums! You're here to urge the case, aren't you?"

"That's right. I'm here to urge the case!"

"The master has instructed, your home address is on the form, and when the case is clear, I will send someone to report to you. Go back. Stay at home and wait for the good news. ”

The guard's tough tone, disdainful and arrogant expression, immediately made Zhou Mengyuan realize that all this was arranged by the county master.

recklessly broke in, just fell into the trap, maybe the case failed, and he fell into the crime of trespassing in the court, but he was tortured.

The culprit of the dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, what can't be done?

In extraordinary times, life is at stake.

Unlike the last time he borrowed a pen and ink when he wrote a letter, he bought the four treasures of the study in the shop, Zhou Mengyuan wanted to give full play to all his literary talents, and together with the county government, he went to the provincial capital.

Complete one's misery!

Walking to a place not far from the martial arts pass, he was ransacked by four unknown people.

He turned back, rewrote the complaint, took the money and continued to the province.

Unexpectedly, in the same place, he was looted by the previous four people.

Zhou Mengyuan knelt down and kowtowed to plead for mercy, promising to sue and send gold bars back, and guarantee it with a head.

It is not negotiable, as last time, he searched all the money and belongings, tore up the situation, and shouted "The road to the east will never pass" and walked away.

It's like waiting for himself, Zhou Mengyuan feels strange, hates the chaos of the world, and wants to ask for help from his master Guan Shan, but he is bluntly advised.

"You've been targeted by the government. If you insist on going, I'm afraid you will have to take your life. ”

"Then you say, what should I do? Such a big family feud, can't it be over like this?"

"Give me the case, and I'll sue you on your behalf. Dou Ya'er sympathized and worried that Zhou Mengyuan was hurt.

"Rest easy. The old monster stroked his beard and pondered, "There is a knife on the word "heart-forbearance!" The arrogance of the Qi family has been extreme, and the extremes of things will be reversed. The flying dragon is in the sky, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous. Their good times were short-lived. ”

What kind of world is this?

Dead people, lost property but nowhere to redress!

What innocent person can accept it?

Zhou Mengyuan's tired body and mind could not decompress, and he was depressed and sullen.

If you go on like this, you're going to break your body!

The old monster and the bud are anxious for him.

After discussion, he planned to take Zhou Mengyuan to Famen Temple to burn incense and pray for fun.

Zhou Mengyuan did not refuse.

It is the eighth day of the eighth month of the ancient calendar, which is the first day of the incense meeting of Famen Temple.

Pilgrims from all directions fell like a tidal wave.

Food, drink, agricultural supplies, and daily necessities fill the streets.

It's really a recipe for everything, and it's dizzying.

Buddhists consciously queue up and go to the crowded temples with strong aromas and paper ashes flying in the sky for sightseeing and worship.

I saw the real body of the pagoda outside the hundred and open outside, standing proudly on the 18-story bluestone steps, solemn and solemn under the sun, majestic and magnificent.

They have all been here before, but today's arrival means a lot.

With Zhou Mengyuan, a scholar, the culture of Famen Temple is even more profound.

It really is: a thousand-year-old Buddhist holy land, a humanistic classic for all ages!

"The old monster doesn't want incense, and he doesn't worship the Buddhas. The old monster is a Taoist disciple who worships the Jade Emperor and Aunt Sanxiao. ”

rejected Zhou Mengyuan's copper coin, and the old monster Qiao Shan walked in the front.

Zhou Mengyuan and Ya'er respectively invited incense, wax, paper, and watches, and wanted to pray and make wishes in front of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in each hall.

Famen Temple True Body Pagoda was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty during the Hengling period, and is the ancestor of the Guanzhong Pagoda.

In 582, the second year after Emperor Wen of Sui ascended the throne, when nearly 10,000 soldiers and concubines came to worship almsgiving, the colorful halo in the air was dazzling in the middle of the tower, and the auspicious clouds floated around the top of the tower, which could really be described as the manifestation of the Buddha to welcome the arrival of the new Emperor of the Great Sui.

The emperor was very pleased, and gladly called it "Chengshi Dojo".

Legend has it that there is an underground palace under the real body pagoda.

There is a pool of mercury in the dungeon.

There was a golden coffin in the pool.

A relic is enshrined in the coffin.

It is too old to verify, and the legend is still there.

Whenever there is a major event in Famen Temple, there will always be a wonderful colorful halo and pieces of auspicious clouds in the sky at the top of the tower.

People call it "Buddha's light shines" and "relics fly into the sun".

It can be seen that the secret of the legendary underground palace has its real possibility.

Every time you go to a hall, after lighting candles, incense, burning watches, burning paper, and giving alms, Mengyuan Yaer has to kowtow sincerely, pray for blessings, and make wishes.

Then, Zhou Mengyuan explained the life experience and worship history of this Buddha and this Bodhisattva.

Dou Yaer still knows that it turns out that Buddhist culture is so profound and profound.

A middle-aged woman who followed them said to her companions: "Look at how blessed this girl is, probably because she burned high incense in her previous life and married a learned person." ”

When Ya'er heard it, she covered her mouth and smiled and watched Zhou Mengyuan's reaction.

Zhou Mengyuan turned his face to the other side, not letting Ya'er see it.

Come to the "bathing house" of the 24th courtyard.

The procession of believers who want to bathe is very long.

The people who came out of the bath had wet hair and shiny faces.

Dou Ya'er couldn't help but be moved.

"I want to go to the bath too. ”

"That's soul-washing. If you do something bad, if you have a bad heart, or if you want to take refuge in Buddhism, go for it. ”

Dou Ya'er was puzzled and said, "The soul can also be cleansed? What if it's a mix of men and women?"

After "tossing" for a long time, the two of them remembered their master, and only then did they remember that they didn't tell the old monster Qiao Shan about the time and place of the rendezvous.

"Hurry up, don't let the master wait. ”

"No, no, no. I can't walk anymore. Hungry!" she pouted.

Knowing that Dou Ya'er was naughty and liked to make trouble, Zhou Mengyuan grabbed his hand and dragged him through the crowd in front.

It's not like a scholar's hand.

That hand is so powerful!

It's hot, and the sweat is carrying an indescribable energy.

"Oops!"

Accidentally, I bumped into a person.

When I looked up, this person was Uncle Thursday.

"Fourth uncle, why are you here too?"

On Thursday, I saw Zhou Mengyuan holding a girl's hand, and said with a calm face: "Qin'er and your aunt are going to come around." ”

Qin'er, who was hiding behind Thursday, pulled Thursday's clothes with a stretched face, "Dad, let's go!"

Without waiting for Thursday's reaction, Qin'er and Gai Gai left first.

"Phew!"

Before leaving, he spat Zhou Mengyuan on the ground, and then stepped on it.

Thursday also turned away.

Zhou Mengyuan didn't find the source of the reason from himself, he still held Dou Ya'er's hand, and thought while shuttling through the crowd, I haven't seen each other for a few days, how did their family become like this?

"It looks like you've offended the family too much, and you should go to the bathing house to wash. ”

Dou Yaer joked, but she didn't understand the situation.

The old monster of Qiao Shan has been standing at the exit of the temple gate and waiting.

"You two love to shop, my eyes are dazzled, and my legs and feet are numb. ”

"If it weren't for the fear that you'd lose it, we'd still be there. ”

The old monster glanced at the two hands he was holding, "I'm worried that I'll lose it, why don't you hold it?"

As soon as I heard about it, I realized that I was still holding the hand.

Zhou Mengyuan hurriedly let go.

Xiao Ya'er didn't care, her little hand stretched out in front of Zhou Mengyuan, "You just take it!"

"Where can't you play? "In the crowd, there was a tenor who hated them.

On the east side of the square in front of the temple, there were a few families that put their meals, and there were many people sitting, standing, and squatting around them who were drinking porridge, and many of them walked several miles towards this bowl of porridge.

Zhou Mengyuan's family also had activities to do good deeds in the past.

The last time the meal was served was on the eighth day of the Buddha's birth in April the year before.

That time, the county government also sent people to put food, and the county ordered Lord Zhuge to take command in person.

Seeing that the Zhou family had a huge lineup and was generous, the county lord smiled and chatted with Mr. Zhou, the father of Zhou Mengyuan, for a while, and they met.

At the invitation of Mr. Zhou, the county lord personally visited once.

Zhou Mengyuan, who was bent on going to the exam, soaked in the school all day long, and rarely asked about housework.

Perhaps it was that small talk that buried the hidden danger, and the county lord aimed at the Zhou family's house with a pair of small eyes and a greedy heart.

Dou Ya'er was already rumbling in her stomach. "Let's go. We went for free porridge. ”

"I'm not hungry yet. You can go with the master. Zhou Mengyuan's heart was sour.

He used to be a food owner, but now he is a beggar for food. Miserable!

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

There was a shouting from behind him.

The strange and familiar voice stimulated Zhou Mengyuan's head to "buzz".

When I looked back, it was the personal guard of the county order, the patrol house and the head.

Hurry over and call Dou Ya'er, wanting her to listen and compare the voice she heard that night.

"Don't worry. They haven't finished eating yet. ”

Zhou Mengyuan was in a hurry, and grabbed Ya'er's wrist holding chopsticks.

"It's important. I'll buy you whatever you want to eat when you go back. ”

"Smack!"

Seeing Zhou Mengyuan's panicked expression, the old monster put down his chopsticks and got up and said, "Let's go together." ”

The three of them covered their faces with their hands and walked on the side of the "Birdman" for a while.

"Brother Yuan, what are you going to do?"

"Listen to this man's voice and see if it is the same as that night. ”

"You don't have to listen, you don't have to tell by the sound, it's him, my... A hundred is right. "Dou Ya'er didn't say anything about me, but what he didn't say was: my cousin.

"The stakes are high, and I don't dare to make the slightest mistake. ”

"Xiao Ya'er dares to vouch for her head. ”

So what? We can only remember this person and wait for the illusory one day.

The three of them came to an antique stall, and the stall owner was making a deal.

Zhou Mengyuan casually picked up a sip of bronze wine glass.

"How much is this worth?"

"Five copper coins. ”

Damn! Such a rusty and broken thing can be sold for five copper coins?

Zhou Mengyuan remembered the many antiques displayed in his father's study and living room before his home was ransacked.

I also remembered that when Mr. Shi talked about the local field, he said that this piece is the original site of the ancient Zhou.

From the end of the twelfth century to the beginning of the eleventh century B.C., the leader of the Zhou people, Gu Gong's father, led his people to move here, built a city, established a capital, vigorously developed human material civilization, and created and left a wide variety of bronzes, pottery, pottery, pottery and so on.

It is known as: Zhong Ding Yi ware armor in the world, gold armor pottery crown ancient and modern!

Thinking about the future life, supporting grandma, honoring the master, and repaying the people who generously helped them in times of crisis, they need to have a lot of income.

Zhou Mengyuan suddenly had a bold idea.

After going back, after repeated discussions, Zhou Mengyuan decided to withdraw to the county government on the grounds that he heard that the murderer was a foreign invader, save his life, and accumulate revenge capital.
