Chapter VII: Kidnapping

The Ming Dynasty got the country, although the north has not yet been unified, the south of the Yangtze River is also a vast land, mountains and rivers are vertical and horizontal, and it is really difficult to find a walking monk. If it is now, the monks are also mobile phone fans, loyal customers, Beidou satellite positioning, lock people in minutes, and within 24 hours, they will be arrested immediately. Luo Shuangxing can easily be rewarded for meritorious service, and perhaps a bonus for solving the case.

However, since the arrest failed and returned to the capital, although the emperor did not pursue him, and there were no new instructions, he waited in anxiety, unable to eat and sleep. However, he was not reconciled, and used all his connections and strength in private to continue to search for dense clues.

About a year or so later, the Jiangxi governor Yamen suddenly came with a news, saying that it was the presiding officer of Donglin Temple, Master Zuguan, a monk who was similar to a dense body, once guarded the door at the Huxi Bridge of Donglin Temple, and suddenly disappeared half a month ago, and the temple was searching nearby, but there was still no trace.

Luo Shuangxing was very surprised, he had been to Donglin Temple a year ago, and there was no clue.

Donglin Temple at the foot of Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province, the fame can be great, "Xu Xiake's Travels" said: "The temple faces Lushan Mountain in the south, leans on Donglin Mountain in the north, the mountain is not very high, and it is the outer outline of Lushan." There is a large stream, from south to west. In the meantime, it is the Jianchang Confucius Road of Jiujiang. The temple is near the river, and the entrance is the Huxi Bridge. It is the birthplace of Buddhism Pure Land Sect, the center of Buddhism in the south, after the Sui Dynasty is one of the eight great avenues of Buddhism in the country, the founder of the Pure Land Sect, Master Huiyuan, is also respected by later generations as the first ancestor of the Pure Land Sect, the founder of the Lotus Sect.

Luo Shuangxing was both happy and worried, how to report to the emperor, the emperor is suspicious by nature, hot and cold, I don't know what he thinks? Afraid. Luo Shuangxing told Hong Jie about his worries. Hong Jie ran an errand in Dali Temple and had more contact with the emperor, so he found an opportunity to report the matter to Monk Zhu. Monk Zhu was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded and asked Dali Temple to send someone to investigate.

When the errand arrived at Dali Temple, the heavy responsibility naturally fell on Luo Shuangxing, he was very excited, and selected more than a dozen officials to go to Jiangxi overnight.

Besides, he did go to Donglin Temple. Because he already knew that the imperial court was arresting him at that time, he was unwilling to involve Donglin Temple, did not reveal his identity, and only said that his Dharma name was Daocheng, and he was a walking monk from Fujian, and he wanted to visit the true meaning of the Pure Land Sect.

Master Zuguan saw that Daocheng was not young, and he was tired from sleeping all the way, so he left him to guard the mountain gate at Huxi Bridge in Donglin Temple. Mibu readily agreed.

Huxi Bridge is the newly built mountain gate of Donglin Temple. The emperor was born in Buddhism and admired Buddhism, so he gave the construction of Donglin Temple. The temple was enlarged, and the mountain gate was moved to Huxi Bridge. The monastery built a small meditation room by the mountain gate, and lived here.

During the day, he cleans the stone paths in front of and behind the mountain gate, observes pilgrims, and recites sutras and practices at night to study the Pure Land Buddhism. For this sincerity, Zuguan only encountered it when he went out and entered the temple, and did not have much contact, only thought that he was a monk of his duty, and never suspected that he was a dense cloth of Lingguang Temple.

It's a year.

One day, an incident happened at the mountain gate. The fugitive pursued by the county government arrived at the mountain gate, about thirty years old, with a vulgar appearance and a pig-killing knife in his hand. This person committed a homicide, killed the adulterous **, wanted to flee to the monastery for refuge, and was chased and killed by the officials.

At the mountain gate of the monastery, seven or eight officials surrounded the murderer, and could not be arrested. Mibu stepped forward to advise the murderer to put down the butcher's knife. The murderer was desperate at this time, but he refused to be arrested, and wanted to rush into the monastery. Mibu blocked the mountain gate, and the murderer rushed forward and stabbed Mibu. Mi Bu bent down, the murderer could not draw his knife, and was captured by the officials.

The murderers and officials thought that the monk had been stabbed to death, but they didn't expect that they had not been hurt at all.

The matter passed, and Mi Bu did not take it to heart. Unexpectedly, this matter would lead to disaster.

One night, after sitting in meditation and chanting sutras, he fell asleep, and in his sleep, he smelled a smell of agarwood. This smell is like Qi Nanxiang. Qi Nan incense is also called Ganan, Jialuo, Jialan, is the diamond in the spice, extremely precious, there are white Qi Nan, Qing Qi Nan, Huang Qi Nan, black Qi Nan, it is the wild bees are all in the damaged agarwood tree to make a hole and build a nest, the secreted honey juice through the accumulation of time and penetrate into the incense gland and produce a very peculiar fungus, propolis and the incense gland mixed to produce the substance is extremely hard and the density is high, there is a very strong honey fragrance and milk fragrance. As the saying goes, if you smell Qi Nan, you are fortunate to have three lives.

Mibu smelled Qi Nan, and his brain immediately entered the world of Buddhism, looking for the Buddha.

When he woke up, he found himself in a cave, tied up with five flowers, surrounded by three men. He understands that he has been kidnapped by drugs.

Mi Bu thought, who would kidnap the monk, the old monk has neither money nor grudges, he can't figure it out.

Seeing the monk wake up, one of them, who looked beautiful and seemed to be a scholar, stepped forward to ask him if his name was Mibu. Mibu shook his head and replied that he was a Fujian monk Daocheng.

Master, you are no longer hiding it, how can a walking monk make a Buddha's heart fist?

What Buddha Heart Fist? The old monk had never heard of it.

The day before yesterday, the murderer stabbed you in the body, why didn't he hurt you?

The donor made a mistake, and the murderer's knife stabbed the old monk's agate Buddha beads, so he picked up a life, Amitabha.

Seeing that the monk refused to admit it, these people had no choice, so several people went to discuss what to do.

Let's say that Cheng is not at the mountain gate for a few days, and others report to preside over here. Zu Guan thought that Dao Cheng was old and was afraid that he would be sick and bedridden, so he went down the mountain to visit. When I arrived at the meditation room, I found that the door was broken, the quilt on the bed was not folded, and the Taoist was gone. He sensed something was wrong. He hurriedly asked other monks, saying that Daocheng assisted the officials to capture the murderer a few days ago, and maybe he was kidnapped and retaliated by others.

The ancestor observed the scriptures and notes left by Daocheng, and the essence was exquisite, and it turned out to be a great monk. He thought of the arrest of Miyun by the imperial court last year, and thought that Daocheng was the dense cloth of Lingguang Temple.

Zuguan was shocked to sweat, if he secretly hid the Qin, Donglin Temple would have a bloody disaster. He hurriedly asked people to report to the yamen.
