After half a night of tossing, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning, and Mo Yan seemed to be lying on the bed and seemed to be asleep, but in fact, he was constantly deducing the characters on the fragment in the spiritual platform.

This fragment is very well preserved, and it will not be more than two hundred years old, but for Mo Yan, two hundred years is long enough that it is impossible to trace back to the roots.

Fortunately, there are about 100 corresponding characters on the fragment page, which is not much, but it is by no means small. As long as the grammar and logic of this rune are straightened out, theoretically speaking, these more than 100 characters are enough for Mo Yan to deduce the entire language.

However, there is a key in this, that is, Mo Yan only has a stone tablet engraved with such characters in his hand, and there is so little content to refer to, at least for now, he has not been able to decipher the entire language.

"Speaking of this Danshu, the stone slab I found in the pond at the beginning is probably part of it......"

Half an hour later, the derivation was halted due to a lack of sufficient reference text.

However, through the existing corresponding characters, Mo Yan knew a little about the runes engraved on the stone slab. These runes are precisely about some Taoist alchemy methods, which seem to be concise and concise, but they are deeply truthful.

From this, Mo Yan deduced that the stone slab he found was most likely part of the Dan book.

"From this point of view, most of Danshu's whereabouts are in Wanling!"

"The reason why Yan Fang committed suicide was because of Danshu, Qi Yuanshan has not left Wanling so far, and I am afraid it is also related to this. It seems that after ending the trip to Jiufoshan and returning to Wanling, you have to pay attention to the whereabouts of this old guy. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Mo Yan suddenly remembered Su Jin and remembered that night. The poor appearance of the girl curled up in a ball.

"I hope you don't get involved......"

Mo Yan sighed lightly, pulled up the quilt, and fell asleep with his head covered.

………………………………

I didn't say anything all night, and when I woke up the next day, it was half past seven in the morning.

Mo Yan had just finished washing. Lin Qiu called.

"Did you wake up? If you get up, let's have morning tea together......"

Mo Yan said: "Okay, I'll go over immediately." ”

Lin Qiu said: "Don't worry, there is an opening ceremony in the morning, and the official opening of the tour exhibition will probably not be until noon." ”

The tour will take place over three days. The main exhibition hall is located in a museum of religious relics at the foot of the Nine Buddha Mountain. Formerly a temple, this museum was converted into a museum of religious relics more than 20 years ago, and there are countless treasures inside, which can be regarded as a golden signboard of the Buddhist resort of Jiufoshan. But all the tourists who come to Jiufo Mountain, whether they are tourists who simply watch the scenery or pilgrims who worship Buddha devoutly, will almost come here to take a walk......

Hung up the phone. Mo Yan returned the room card at the front desk of the hotel and drove all the way to the hotel where Lin Qiu lived.

Lin Qiu had been waiting at the door of the hotel for a long time, and when he saw Mo Yan, he said with a smile: "I saw my old classmates last night, did you drink too much?" ”

Mo Yan smiled: "It's okay......"

Lin Qiu said: "If you drink too much." I just want to introduce you to Yueyang's famous tea 'Buddha Nodding', this tea has a sweet taste and has the effect of sobering up and removing fatigue. ”

Lin Qiu's hotel is located at the foot of the Nine Buddha Mountain, and when you look up, you can see the temples hidden in the endless trees of the Nine Buddha Mountain.

"Let's go, let's go have morning tea first. It's not too late to go to the museum after tea. Speaking of which, the museum is not too far from the hotel, if you walk it. It's about twenty minutes away. ”

Lin Qiu pulled Mo Yan towards a teahouse not far away.

Jiufo Mountain is worthy of being a Buddhist resort, monks can be seen everywhere, and tourists are also rubbing shoulders and shuttling back and forth.

To be honest, Mo Yan was not at all interested in such Buddhist sites. For Buddhists, it is certainly a good thing that incense is in full bloom. But if every detail is infused with the flavor of money, it is somewhat annoying. along the way. At least seven or eight hawkers stopped the two men, intending to peddle all kinds of objects that had been consecrated by a certain great monk......

The two finally broke through the siege and came to the teahouse, but found that it was already overcrowded.

In desperation, the two had to change to a remote teahouse.

"There is no pure ...... in the world"

The two found a seat by the window and sat down, and Lin Qiu couldn't help but sigh.

Mo Yan smiled: "Don't be demanding, monks also have to eat." Besides, there are some things that they don't have the final say, everyone has a desire for profit, and the daily passenger flow here is so large, you can't make money without making money, right? ”

Lin Qiu smiled: "What you say is reasonable, but if everyone thinks so, there is really no pure place in this world." ”

The two laughed, then ordered refreshments and snacks, and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The 'Buddha nodding' introduced to Mo Yan by Lin Qiu tasted really sweet, and even people like Mo Yan, who didn't drink much tea, were amazed.

"This tea tastes good, Brother Lin, do you know where to sell it?" Mo Yan humbly asked

Lin Qiu smiled: "This tea is not easy to buy...... The first is that the production is not large, and the second is that most of the tea comes from the tea fields cultivated by the temple itself, and they will leave a considerable part of the amount every year to give to those pilgrims who spend a lot of money. As a result, the amount of money entering the market is quite small, and most of it is divided between local teahouses and wealthy people. ”

Mo Yan said: "Hearing you say this, if you want to drink this tea, you can only come to these teahouses?" ”

Lin Qiu said: "It's almost, although there are also sold on the street, most of them are fake and shoddy ......."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a person walking towards him, his face immediately changed slightly, and he reminded Mo Yan: "I'm afraid someone has come to trouble us." ”

Mo Yan didn't need to look back, he knew who Lin Qiu was talking about, and said with a smile: "This may not be. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Xiao, dressed in denim clothes, came to the two of them and said with a smile: "The two gentlemen ...... early."

Seeing Ma Xiao's smile, Lin Qiu was surprised in his heart, he couldn't understand it anyway, this girl and her companion suffered a loss at Mo Yan's hands yesterday, and if they didn't come to retaliate today, how could they be so polite?

Mo Yan looked at Ma Xiao and said, "Have you had breakfast?" If you haven't eaten, sit down and eat something together. ”

Ma Xiao smiled: "Thank you......"

As she spoke, she nodded slightly to Lin Qiu, and then sat down unceremoniously.

Lin Qiu was confused. So he looked at Mo Yan with an inquiry in his eyes.

Mo Yan explained with a smile: "It's okay not to know each other...... Let me introduce to you, this is Ma Xiao, I only found out last night that an elder in her family knows me. ”

So that's it......

Lin Qiu was convinced of Mo Yan. Immediately relieved in his heart, he immediately looked at Ma Xiao and said, "Miss Ma, I am glad to meet you." ”

Mo Yan introduced on the side: "Ma Xiao, this is my friend. Lin Qiu, Lin Xiangru, autumn of autumn. ”

Ma Xiao immediately smiled at Lin Qiu and said, "Hello, Mr. Lin, yesterday's incident was my fault, and there is something offended, please forgive me." ”

Lin Qiu is not a narrow-minded person. smiled: "It's nothing, it's all in the past, don't mention it again." ”

After a slight pause, he asked again: "Is Miss Ma also here to visit the exhibition?" ”

Ma Xiao didn't know what the relationship between this Lin Qiu and Mo Yan was, so he was much more cautious in his words. smiled: "I'm just here to play...... By the way, Mr. Lin, do you mean the traveling exhibition of religious relics? ”

Lin Qiu nodded and smiled: "As far as I know, there has been such an exhibition for the past few days. ”

Ma Xiaodao: "If that's the case, you can go and see it, I'm also very interested in Buddhist culture......

The reason why she is here. Its purpose is nothing more than to get close to Mo Yan, and when he heard Lin Qiu talk about the touring exhibition, he cleverly expressed his intention to go together.

Lin Qiu didn't think much about it. casually said: "If you are interested, you can go with us later." ”

Mo Yan smiled on the side and did not object......

In normal times, he naturally doesn't like people to follow him, but considering that he may meet those descendants of the Daomen on the tour, he has Ma Xiao by his side. It's convenient to ask her some questions at any time.

When the morning tea was about to end, Ma Xiao took advantage of Lin Qiu to go to the bathroom. Seize the opportunity and say: "Mr. Mo, when the elders of the family heard that you were here, they couldn't wait to come over immediately. They had already left last night, and they would probably arrive in Yueyang in the afternoon......"

Mo Yan nodded and said noncommittally, "I know......"

Seeing this, Ma Xiao couldn't help but be a little worried, and said softly, "When can you see them?" ”

Mo Yan said: "I am definitely not available today, and I will have to call tomorrow at the earliest, so let's call at that time." ”

When Ma Xiao heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that as long as you are willing to meet, it will be fine......

What she was most worried about was that Mo Yan was self-assured and didn't want to meet with the people of the Ma family, or because something happened to leave suddenly, at this time, seeing that Mo Yan roughly determined the time, a stone in her heart quietly landed.

A few minutes later, the three of them left the teahouse, and since it was still early, they wandered all the way in the direction of the museum.

Mo Yan never saw Ma Jun, so he took advantage of Lin Qiu to buy handicrafts and asked casually, "What about that cousin of yours?" ”

Ma Xiao explained in a low voice: "I was worried that he would upset you, so I let him stay in the hotel." ”

Mo Yan thought for a while and said, "We are about the same age, as long as we don't lose our proportions, there is no need to be so respectful." Also, I'm not that stingy......"

Ma Xiao said: "Respectfulness is right, the Taoist sect is respectful and humble based on cultivation, and the elders in the family have repeatedly told me that in front of Mr. Mo, Ma Jun and I should perform the disciple ceremony." ”

Mo Yan heard this, although he felt that this kind of formal courtesy was really unnecessary, but after all, this was someone else's business, and after thinking about it, he didn't dissuade him anymore.

The three of them wandered slowly, and when they arrived at the museum, the opening ceremony had already ended, and tourists had already entered the museum one after another.

At this time, it was already about eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

The three of them were not in a hurry to enter, and tasted some local snacks near the museum at random, so they bought tickets and entered the museum unhurriedly.

Although the museum was renovated on the basis of the temple, the layout has been changed a lot, which not only loses the simple and solemn atmosphere, but also contains the atmosphere of modern technology.

After entering, there is a bluestone courtyard the size of half a basketball court. In the middle of the courtyard is a cypress tree, under which there is a stove, and an arm-thick incense is burning brightly and darkly, emitting curling green smoke and a faint fragrance that makes people feel calm.

When Mo Yan and his party entered the gate, several monks and staff of the religious association were standing under the cypress tree. They were surrounded by a middle-aged man who was not tall and looked to be clearly from Southeast Asia, talking and laughing. In addition to this, there are several professionals nearby who appear to be obvious bodyguards.

Lin Qiu whispered to Mo Yan, "Did you see it?" That dark, skinny guy is Vana Banchai, the super-rich man of Taibang. He is also a devout Buddhist. ”

Mo Yan smiled: "Don't you think that the existence of devout Buddhists and super-rich people is very contradictory in itself? ”

Lin Qiu laughed and said, "It's not surprising that human beings themselves are a unity of contradictions. ”

Is humanity itself a contradictory unity?

Hearing this, Mo Yan's heart suddenly moved. The way of the soul talks about the original heart, and what is sought is the original self. From a philosophical point of view, it is to abandon the contradictions in thinking and establish unity, which is unity. It is also a return to the yuan.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a sneak peek, and honestly, I can't wait."

Lin Qiu shook the camera in his hand and said with a smile.

The exhibition is divided into three exhibition halls, one main and two exhibitions, and the three people are closest to the sub-exhibition hall on the right. I followed the flow of people and walked in.

The furnishings in the exhibition hall are not much different from other museum exhibition halls, the only difference is that the docents here are all nuns.

For some men, this alone is worth the ticket price.

This time the tour exhibition can't help but take pictures. Lin Qiu had already prepared the camera, and when he saw these young and beautiful nuns, he was not exempt from vulgarity, picking up the camera and clicking it to take a good shot......

There are not too many exhibits in the exhibition hall here, about thirty pieces, each displayed in a glass case.

Mo Yan did not open his self-consciousness. I didn't activate my eyes, I just walked around casually. He knew in his heart that if the exhibits here contained the power of will. There will inevitably be changes in the ornament on the chest, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

It's a pity that after walking around, there is no reaction to the ornament on the chest.

He walked all the way, and almost never seriously appreciated the cultural relics here, basically just took a casual look and left.

Ma Xiao followed him all the time. I can't help but feel a little strange in my heart.

She wanted to ask, but she was afraid of upsetting Mo Yan. It's just like a personal maid, watching the flowers with the horses.

Lin Qiu is much more professional, stopping for a moment in front of almost every exhibit, first appreciating, then taking pictures, and occasionally talking to a beautiful little nun. Not only did he surprise the little nuns with his vast expertise, but even some tourists stopped by him to ask questions from time to time......

Mo Yan saw that Lin Qiu was like a fish in water here, so he didn't bother to say hello and walked directly to other exhibition halls.

Ma Xiao followed behind him and said in a low voice: "Mr. Mo, that Buddhist staff should be in the main exhibition hall, let's go there first." ”

Mo Yan was also quite interested in this Buddha staff, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the main exhibition hall." ”

The two of them walked down the corridor to the main exhibition hall, and found that the security measures here were obviously superior, in addition to the more advanced equipment, there were seven or eight security guards standing at the door and in the inconspicuous corner.

As soon as he entered the door, the ornament on Mo Yan's chest emitted a slight warmth.

Sure enough, it didn't come in vain!

Mo Yan couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and immediately condensed his senses......

It is not surprising that the material of this statue is very ordinary, and the carving is also very clumsy. However, judging from the oily and shiny belly of Maitreya Buddha, this statue has been around for quite a long time.

Mo Yan stepped forward and carefully looked at the text introduction below the exhibit.

According to the introduction, this Maitreya Buddha has a history of more than 800 years and was handed down from a small temple in the countryside. Locally, it is believed that if you touch the belly of this Buddha, you will be able to have more children and grandchildren in your family.

"No wonder the belly is so ......bright" Mo Yan couldn't help but wonder, it was really interesting to ask for a son to be able to ask for the body of this big-bellied Maitreya Buddha.

Ma Xiao also felt funny on the side, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

In general, the wish contained in this Buddha statue is not much, and it is very different from the two pieces of jade containing golden light that Mo Yan got at the beginning.

But this was a good start after all, Mo Yan stopped in front of this Buddha statue for a while, and continued to walk into the exhibition hall.

The number of exhibits in the main exhibition hall is not large, only about 20 pieces, but since they are all treasures, they are much more particular about the display. All the exhibits were housed in high-tech cabinets, separated from each other by a long distance, and there was even a screen-like partition in between, dividing the entire booth into dozens of small sections.

With a good start, Mo Yan's mood also became calm.

He walked briskly into the next section, where the exhibit was a floating temple made of gold, although it was extremely ornate. But it did not cause any change in the ornament on the chest. However, he did not rush to leave, but stood there, carefully admiring the golden floating massacre.

The next few sections didn't lead to much until the fifth exhibit arrived. The ornament on his chest began to heat up again.

To be more strict, this time it's not a fever, but a slight heat!

"Mr. Mo, this is the Buddha staff I was talking about!"

Seeing this exhibit, Ma Xiao's eyes also lit up. whispered in Mo Yan's ear.

…… This Buddhist staff looks very simple, neither gold nor silver, nor is it made of precious wood, and its material is actually a piece of dead vine.

The length of the Buddhist staff is about 1.5 meters, and the body of the withered vine has scars, and every 10 centimeters or so, it is embedded in a black iron hoop that holds the body of the cane. On the whole, it's not surprising. But at the head of the cane, it was a vision, and where the withered vines were knotted, a natural Buddha face was born.

The eyes of the Buddha face are slightly closed. The eyebrows are also slightly wrinkled, and there is no solemnity and compassion for ordinary Buddha statues, but a bitter face.

The power of the wish contained in this Buddha staff is majestic compared to the Maitreya Buddha just now, second only to the two pieces of jade that Mo Yan got at the beginning.

"Is this the Buddha staff? It didn't disappoint me......"

Mo Yan was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately left a divine soul mark on this Buddha staff.

For him. The Buddha scepter itself is worthless, but what is truly valuable is the majestic power contained in it. It's a pity that he can't do it now, so he can only leave a mark on the Buddha staff first. In this way, even if it runs to the end of the cape, Mo Yan has a way to catch it back.

After leaving his mark, he did not forget to sense the breath of other visitors in this exhibition area.

Ma Xiao once said that the descendants of the Daomen who coveted this Buddhist staff were not the only ones from the Ma family, and Mo Yan wanted to be foolproof. Immediately activate your ego and start scanning the entire exhibition hall.

The area of this main exhibition hall is very large. However, the scope of the self-consciousness is about 200 meters, and it easily covers the entire exhibition hall.

After this search, I found something.

In the interface given by the self's consciousness, there are six breaths that are completely different from ordinary people, including Ma Xiao.

The other five are four men and one woman, and the four men are basically around 40 years old, all dressed as tourists. And the woman was similar in age to Ma Xiao, but she was dressed as a nun. I don't know if this is her real identity or if it's a temporary disguise.

Looking at the breath, the cultivation of the four men is slightly better than Ma Xiao, and the cultivation of the little nun is the weakest, even inferior to Ma Xiao.

Mo Yan engraved the breath and appearance of these people in the spirit platform, and left marks on their bodies one by one.

"These people should be the descendants of the Daomen that Ma Xiao said......

Mo Yan was thinking about the exhibits below, and after recording all these people, he planned to put away his self-consciousness and continue to visit.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that there were some interesting things in the picture given by his ego consciousness.

For example, among the tourists, there were three people with Homeland Protection Bureau documents in their arms, and among the commentators, there were two little nuns with hats carrying the same documents.

"It seems that Lu Liang did come to Jiufoshan for this tour."

Although he didn't see Lu Liang, Mo Yan was sure that this guy must be dispatching and commanding near here at this time. It is even possible that his every move at this time was watched by this guy through the monitor.

As soon as he thought of this, Mo Yan became stubborn and began to search for the monitoring equipment here.

It wasn't long before he discovered a miniature camera hidden in the ceiling directly behind him.

So, he looked up at the camera, smiled slightly, and said silently, 'Thankfully, ......'.

Ma Xiao, who was on the side, saw Mo Yan suddenly raise his head and 'smirk', and couldn't help but be confused, and said, "Mr. Mo, what are you doing?" ”

Mo Yan smiled: "It's nothing, just say hello to your friends." ”

Although Ma Xiao's experience is not very rich, after all, he has broken through the rivers and lakes, and after a little thought, he immediately understood.

She whispered, "Mr. Mo, is someone spying on us?" ”

Mo Yan smiled: "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, what are you worried about?" ”

After a slight pause, he said, "Let's go, let's continue to look down." ”

Ma Xiao reluctantly glanced at the Buddha staff, sighed in his heart, and followed Mo Yan into the next exhibition area without hesitation.

………………………………

In the monitoring room of the museum, Lu Liang looked at the guy on the monitor who was leisurely and wandering around, and his face was pale.

The staff next to him saw that his face was not good-looking, and asked cautiously, "Luke, does this person need special attention?" ”

Lu Liang took a deep breath and said, "No need, this person is not in the target, you pay attention to other tourists." ”

He said so, but there was still an indescribable irritability in his heart, so he went to the window and lit a cigarette......

At this moment, a piercing alarm bell suddenly came from outside!

"What's going on?"

Lu Liang felt a thrill in his heart, and immediately threw away his cigarette and rushed to the monitor.

The staff said: "It's the fire alarm bell, but no fire ...... found in the three exhibition halls."

At this time, someone rushed in and reported: "Luke, there is a fire in the backyard of the museum, the fire is unknown for the time being, but the tourists need to be evacuated immediately, what should we do now?" ”

Lu Liang said: "Immediately notify the people in the exhibition hall and let them be vigilant and don't let people take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters." Hu Lin, Xiao Liu, you two will follow me to the main exhibition hall immediately! ”
