When Duan Ming came to Xing Qianqiu's room, Xing Qianqiu was studying a pattern.

Seeing Duan Ming walk in, Xing Qianqiu didn't have a trace of surprise, as if he had already calculated that Duan Ming would come over at this moment.

"Let's talk about it." Duan Ming sat next to Xing Qianqiu, stretched lazily and lay on the ground: "Although I heard some in Linyang City, there are always things that add oil and vinegar or distort and tamper with those things, so you should start from the beginning." ”

"Okay." Xing Qianqiu put down the pattern in his hand, and then told Duan Ming what had happened.

It was about ten days ago, that is, on the tenth day of the seventh month, which was the Buddha Festival.

Legend has it that before the Buddha attained the right fruit, he had three disasters and nine calamities, the "three disasters" are the disaster of greed, the disaster of fate, and the disaster of slander; The "Nine Tribulations" are the Weak Water Tribulation, the Karmic Fire Tribulation, the Dead Wood Tribulation, the Sword and Axe Tribulation, the Earth Tribulation, the Sky Thunder Tribulation, the Vain Heart Tribulation, the Three Thousand Dream Tribulation and the Rebirth Tribulation.

Among them, the karmic fire tribulation is on the tenth day of the seventh month.

The Buddha of the world believed that the karmic fire tribulation is a kind of tempering of burning past sins and condensing the golden body, so every day he will hold a puja, hoping to get the blessing of the Buddha, bathe in the Buddha's radiance, and successfully survive this calamity.

Over time, it became the Buddha Festival, which is one of the largest events in Buddhism.

To get back to the point, on the 10th day of the seventh month, the Fanxing Temple, which is the holy place of Buddhism in the world, held a grand festival during the day.

Countless people who believe in Buddhism come to pray for blessings, and people come and go on the mountaineering Buddhist road, and the incense burns continuously for several hours without stopping.

That night, many monks were tired after a busy day, and they returned to their respective rooms early to rest.

The monks on duty that day were three monks: Fa Wu, Fa Neng, and Fa Ming.

Every once in a while, the three monks would patrol the temple to see if there were any anomalies.

And at about two o'clock, the empty Daxiong Treasure Hall suddenly burst into flames, and the fire was so fierce that it lit up half of the sky.

The monks, who had already fallen asleep, heard the shouts of the three monks of Fawu, saw the light of the fire rushing to the sky, and hurriedly came out to desperately put out the fire.

Fortunately, there was no wind at night, and the Daxiong Treasure Hall was not connected to the other wings, which avoided a greater disaster.

However, despite this, it took a full hour for the monks of the monastery to work together to extinguish the fire.

When the fire was extinguished, the entire Daxiong Treasure Hall was almost burned, except for the Buddha in the hall, which was two zhang (one zhang is about 3.33 meters) high, and the rest were all burned.

And the weirdest thing is the big Buddha.

This big Buddha is the time when the temple was built in Fanxing Temple, Xuanguo Qi Xuangong gifted, the whole body is made of pure gold, and the form is solemn.

After a hundred years, even Xuanguo has been wiped out by the Great Qi, but except for the slight wear and tear on this gold body, there is no major problem.

However, now, after the fire, the golden Buddha itself has turned into a pitch black color, and the solemn Buddha statue has become like an evil ghost.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that there is an extra red blood lotus pattern on the forehead of this Buddha body, and two lines of blood and tears appear under the eyes.

And on the chest of the Big Buddha, there are two more lines of words: the demon fox is in the world, and the palace is in trouble. Red Lotus karma fire, cleansing demons!

"Gong Fu?" After listening to Xing Qianqiu's narration, Duan Ming smiled and shook his head: "This is for the queen again." ”

"That's right." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "As soon as this matter came out, the court was agitated, and the folds that joined the queen and wanted His Majesty to be abolished and re-established were piled up so that the Chongde Hall couldn't put it down." ”

"That's why the emperor photographed your Spiegel Division? Order Spiegel to solve the case within a time limit? Duan Ming said.

"Exactly, but not indefinitely." Xing Qianqiu said.

"This queen is too aggrieved." Duan Ming said with a smile: "Obviously, no one has offended, but so many people don't like her and always make a fuss about her." ”

"Mr. Duan, be cautious." Xing Qianqiu said.

"Okay, let's stop talking." Duan Ming shook his head: "Is there anything else?" You've been here for a few days and haven't found anything? ”

"Indeed." Xing Qianqiu sighed: "We interrogated every monk in the temple, that day was the Buddha Festival, and all the monks went back to the wing room to rest together after they were busy, and no one went out halfway. ”

"And before they go back to the wing?" Duan Ming asked, "The Golden Buddha hasn't changed anything?" ”

"Nothing has changed." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "There is not a trace of black on it, let alone a trace of blood-colored lines. ”

"What did the three Fawu people who patrol the night say?" Duan Ming asked again.

"The three of them have been together all the time, and no one has ever acted alone." Xing Qianqiu said: "And the monk's rest time is about four quarters of the unitary hour, and the fire is ignited at about two minutes of the hour, that is to say, there is only less than two hours in the middle, and it is impossible to dye the Buddha black in such a short period of time and write blood words on it, without more than ten people working together." ”

"Indeed." Duan Ming nodded.

You must know that in ancient times, an hour was about two hours, with a total of eight quarters.

A moment is about fifteen minutes.

The four quarters of the unitary hour is converted to the present time, which is about 18 o'clock, and the two quarters of the hai hour is converted to the present time, which is about 21:30.

That is, there was a total of three and a half hours in between.

Subsequently, Duan Ming, accompanied by Xing Qianqiu, came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall that had been burned down.

At this moment, the Daxiong Treasure Hall looks extremely miserable, the bricks and tiles on the roof of the hall have been damaged with the burning of the fire, and the surrounding walls are even more scorched.

"This is really a big Buddha." Duan Ming walked into the main hall, looked up at the black Buddha in front of him, and nodded in admiration.

This big Buddha is nearly seven meters high, and counting the base and lotus platform below, it has reached about nine meters.

"Alas, the centuries-old Buddha is also inevitably subject to such a disaster." Xing Qianqiu sighed: "The natural disaster is really ruthless. ”

"Perhaps." Duan Ming smiled, climbed up the Big Buddha with great effort, carefully checked the blood characters and patterns on the Big Buddha's body, and then reached out and buckled it on the Big Buddha.

Xing Qianqiu stood aside, did not speak, and looked at Duan Ming expectantly.

"Old Torture, lend me your knife." Duan Ming shouted.

"Give." Xing Qianqiu did not hesitate to throw the saber on his waist to Duan Ming, Duan Ming took out the knife and carefully scraped it on the body of the Buddha statue, and at the same time carefully caught the fallen pieces with a piece of cloth.

Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming suspiciously, not understanding why Duan Ming did this.

"Alright." After a moment, Duan Ming put away the knife and threw it back to Xing Qianqiu.

Then, Duan Ming put the thing in his arms and climbed down from the Buddha statue.

"How's it going, Mr. Duan?" Xing Qianqiu hurriedly asked, "Is this what you found?" ”

"It's a very simple case!" Duan Ming said with a smile......
