Chapter 47: What is the Pure Land?
In the early morning, there was a light rain, and the new pines were stacked with green.
Xinglong Road South Hutong, Nalan Songhan Mansion, Deyue Building, tea fragrance is full of fragrance.
Nalan Songhan fiddled with a palm-sized shield-shaped copper plaque in his hand, with a tiger head carved on the front in the middle and a "double knife" pattern engraved on the back, "This is what you found in the square in front of the Christian synagogue in Japan?" That person is still quite ruthless, it seems that he is a member of the organization, this thing should be the iconic waist card of this organization, and I haven't seen it either. ”
Luo Shuangchen sipped the fragrant tea and said a little tiredly: "Third brother, I really didn't expect that I could make new discoveries when I returned to the church hall, but unfortunately that Pu Buchang was killed before he could help us get President Lu's lost leather bag, and it was the 'divine crossbow' that killed him." ”
"Old Lu, this guy, in my heart, he is a businessman, how did he encounter such a thing? In fact, he has helped me a lot in the past few years, as long as our people need medicine, food or something, just ask him, he will fully support. It's hard to survive in troubled times. The one surnamed Pu died, what should I do with the black leather bag of Lao Lu? ”
"Third brother, that Pu Buchang is a big tobacco dealer, he took my hand and repeatedly said 'Pure Land, Jizo' before he died, I don't understand what he said, it is estimated that it has something to do with President Lu's black leather bag." Luo Shuangchen was puzzled.
Nalan said: "This person may be the person next to Lao Lu, and then you show this sign to Song Mian, she may be able to know, if she doesn't know us, we will find a way." Besides, if you say that the person surnamed Pu said 'Pure Land, Jizo', we have to analyze what this means. ”
Luo Shuangchen stroked the stubble of his beard that he hadn't had time to shave for two days, "I know that there are many temples dedicated to Jizo Bodhisattva, third brother, is it possible that the black leather bag is hidden in a temple?" ”
Nalan said: "As far as I know, there are eight main sects of Mahayana Buddhism in China. One is the Dharma Nature Sect, also known as the Three Treatise Sect; the second is the Dharma Xiang Sect, also known as the Yoga Sect; the third is the Tiantai sect; the fourth is the first sect of Xian, also known as Huayan Sect; fifth, Zen Buddhism; sixth, the Pure Land sect; Seventh, Vinaya; The eighth is Tantra, also known as Shingon Buddhism. It is commonly referred to as the eight major sects of sexuality, physiognomy, Taiwan, sage, Zen, purity, law, and esotericism. That is, is it possible to hide in a temple of the Pure Land sect? But the ancestral court of this Pure Land Sect is in the Donglin Temple of Lushan, Jiangxi, how could he hide things in Jiangxi? Impossible, the leather bag should be in the Xinjing area......"
Luo Shuangchen realized slightly, "Third brother, isn't that General Wang Zhiyou the director of the Propaganda Bureau of the Ministry of Military Affairs?" You ask him if he knows of any Pure Land temples in the Shinkyo area. ”
Nalan said: "Because my family tradition only believes in Tantric Tibetan Buddhism, so I don't know much about other temples, and your proposal is feasible, so I'll call him." After speaking, Nalan angrily manipulated the telephone receiver, cleared his throat and said, "Give me Director Wang of the Propaganda Bureau of the Ministry of Military Affairs." …… Lisan, it's me, Nalan, are you busy? Someone at home sent a few packs of tea before Ming, can you come and taste the tea? Then come with me for lunch, and I'll have two bottles of Xinghuacun for you! …… Ahh Good...... Good. ”
Nalan put down the receiver of the telephone, "Lisan will be here soon, just ask him and you'll know." Remember not to say something important on the phone, this telecommunications and telephone company is controlled by the Japanese, we must be careful. ”
Luo Shuangchen picked up the teapot and refilled the tea for both of them very habitually, "Third brother, I have arranged for someone to find out the whereabouts of the "Group Tribal Construction Plan", and there is no news from him for the time being, how do you think the next step will be done?" ”
Nalan played with the jasper wrench in his hand, "This plan is drafted by Ichiro Kusayama, an adviser to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it is imperative to know when this plan will be delivered to the Japanese headquarters for review, and after it is finalized, where to keep this plan, so that we can do it, and leave no traces, otherwise, we have obtained a draft, or someone has found it, and they revise it, and our actions will be meaningless." ”
"Okay, I'll give them a notice when I get back and ask them to continue. It is estimated that the matter of transporting people from the underground arsenal of Shuangde for live experiments is urgent, and I do not yet have a concrete plan to rescue them, so I have to study them carefully. ”
Nalan nodded, "If you start to solve the matter of the living experimenters, I will focus on Lao Luo and them to verify the matter of the Group Tribal Construction Plan first, and I must accurately grasp their actions." ”
Luo Shuangchen said again: "Third brother, I still have something to discuss with you. The twelve little brothers you sent to me are so good, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit students from the local police academy to send them all to the police academy, and let them directly enter the police force after graduation. Can it not? ”
Nalan said: "That's good, in the future, when Changchun is recovered, they will become the backbone of maintaining local law and order, which is not only convenient for the current work, but also for the future to accumulate talents, which is very good." ”
Luo Shuangchen said quietly: "I'm afraid that they don't want to be policemen, and they can't get over this hurdle in their hearts." ”
"That's okay, I'll do this job, don't worry, they're basically raised by me, I know it's not appropriate for you to do this job. They will listen to me. ”
"By the way, third brother, I almost forgot one thing, that is, the person surnamed Pu who was stabbed to death told me in the basement that the person who hired him to assassinate President Lu was about fifty years old, and he often wore an emerald wrench on his right thumb."
"Really? That's a good idea, I'm from Hetian Jade, he's an emerald, and he's richer than me! That's a clue too. ”
"Also, the corners of the six large wooden boxes in the basement are all printed in Japanese with the words 'Manchurian Grain,' which I learned so I know. Do you think that person will have something to do with Manchurian iron, or something to do with grain? That's a clue, right? Luo Shuangchen took Nalan's wrench in his hand.
"This is also a clue, it seems that you will get a lot out of a visit to the Christian church. But don't forget, you have to find the person who killed Gou Village Qiyue, even though the Japanese were killed, we are very happy in our hearts, but we must give them a decent answer. ”
"I've arranged for the security department to proceed normally, don't worry, I'll arrange it."
While the two were talking, the housekeeper of Nalan Mansion, Laifu, knocked on the door and entered the main hall, "Master, General Wang Zhiyou of the Ministry of Military Affairs is here." ”
"Hurry up, please come in! So what's the report? Nalan stood up.
After a while, Wang Zhiyou walked in in a light gray robe, "Brother Fu Nian, you don't go to work during this working time, and you still invite me to your home, you can really do it." Ah, Brother Hansheng is also there? Won't it just be a bar with me? ”
Luo Shuangchen took a step forward, held Wang Zhiyou's hand and said, "Third Brother Li, little brother, I just want to thank you for your care and support for me, I want to get together with you, but I'm afraid that you will be too careful, so I only came to ask for help from the third brother, don't mind." ”
Of course, Wang Zhiyou knows Lu Li (Luo Shuangchen) in Zhishan's portion, let alone invite him to dinner, what can he shirk? Now, since he knew that he had been tricked by Xiqia and Zhang Jinghui, Yu Zhishan was his most important backer, and he had no choice.
He took Luo Shuangchen's hand and said: "We are all in the army, needless to say, brother, if you have something, you will command, you should invite my brother to drink, and I should accompany you." ”
After the three of them sat down, Luo Shuangchen poured a cup of tea for Wang Zhiyou and sent it to him.
Nalan said happily: "Laifu, immediately arrange a table of wine and food, don't go anywhere today, just invite the two brothers to eat wine at home, and bring the two bottles of five-year Xinghua Village sent by Xiao Zilan." ”
Blessing went away.
Nalan sighed and said, "Lisan, you are in charge of military propaganda, let me ask you, is there a temple of the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism in this new capital realm?" My family Yunqiu said that his mother gave her a dream and asked her to go to the temple of the Pure Land Sect to burn incense and make a vow. Do you know that our Nalan family has believed in Tibetan Buddhism since our ancestors, and I don't know anything about it? ”
Wang Zhiyou said: "You really asked the right person." A month ago, I accompanied Yu Ge to a Pure Land temple built by the Japanese, called Changchun Temple, and he went to visit a Japanese monk. The Changchun Temple was built in 1919, the founding monk is called Fukuda Interpretation, the temple is located in the Manchurian Iron Attached Shore Town 4-chome Nibandi, the temple has a special feature, the temple gate is not like the vast majority of temples, all sit in the north and face south, but face the northwest, the scale of the temple is very large. If you have time, you can go with your sister-in-law. ”
Nalan and Luo Shuangchen listened to these words, as if they had found a treasure.
Nalan asked again: "Lisan, you really helped me a lot, otherwise this Yunqiu, I wouldn't be able to sleep all night, great, I have an explanation for her." Is there a Jizo Bodhisattva in that temple? ”
Wang Zhiyou said with certainty: "There is a temple called Jizo Hall, which is dedicated to the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, because there are often places for dignitaries to temporarily park the bodies of their families, and Yu Ge Lao and I have not entered. ”
Nalan was even more confident in his heart, "That's good, I will definitely give Yunqiu the most satisfactory answer." ”
Luo Shuangchen smiled and said, "Third brother, let's talk while eating in a while, I have a gift for Third Brother Li, and I have to ask you to help give it to the palm!" After saying that, he took out a brocade box from the side of the chair, put it on the table, took out a white porcelain pot from it, supported it with both hands, and placed it on the table.
But see this pot, the whole body is white, the mouth of the bottle is thin waist and pot-bellied lotus, the lotus leaf pattern is on the bottom, one side is the arabesque-like curved handle, and the other side is the flowing water-shaped water outlet, and the most special thing is that the lotus pod shape around the bottle mouth is inlaid with eight round rubies.
Nalan said in surprise: "This wine pot is very exquisite, so beautiful, I know that this is called 'Eight Treasures Turning Heart Pot' from the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty!" It's really superb! ”
