Volume 2: The Red Lotus Case of the Ancient Temple Chapter 33: Not Gone
"According to the monks in the temple, the Golden Buddha has experienced more than 100 years of wind, frost, rain and snow, although there is no problem from a distance, but in fact, there is a lot of damage on it." Xing Qianqiu said: "Three months ago, there was a benefactor who paid a lot of money to reshape the golden body of the Buddha. ”
"Three months ago? What a coincidence. Duan Ming stretched out his fingers and lightly clasped his eyebrows, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Qiao?" Xing Qianqiu thought for a moment and nodded: "It is indeed a coincidence, it is the time of the Linzhou Caizi case." ”
"yes, what's next?" Duan Ming asked again.
"As for the identity of the benefactor, all the monks in the temple said that they didn't know." Xing Qianqiu continued: "It took nearly a month and a half to reshape the golden body, and during that period, even the monks in the temple were not allowed to enter the Daxiong Treasure Hall at will. ”
"It's mysterious enough." Duan Ming nodded.
"That's right, so there must be a problem." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "It's just that I've been thinking before, if the reason why the golden Buddha turned black was because of the copper, then what about the blood lotus, blood characters and blood tears?" ”
"It's very simple, who stipulated that only copper can be painted?" Duan Ming shook his head: "According to my conjecture, I'm afraid that this person should be coated with copper on the Golden Buddha now, and leave the position of the words, blood lotus, and blood tears, and paint the iron layer in that position, the iron layer is not the same as copper when it is heated and oxidized, and it will become ferric oxide, and ferric oxide is red." ”
"Ferric oxide? What's that? Xing Qianqiu was stunned.
"It's like copper oxide, you don't need to worry about it." Duan Ming waved his hand: "When you are ready, apply a thin layer of gold to the golden Buddha that has been processed, and leave the mechanism." ”
"When I got the 20th of July, while all the monks in the temple were resting, someone quietly sneaked into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, tore off the thin gold on it according to the mechanism, and at the same time set a fire and fled quickly."
"Although the Golden Buddha is very large, as long as the mechanism is arranged, it is not difficult to tear off the thin gold."
"Quite possibly." Xing Qianqiu nodded, if according to Duan Ming, as long as he had prepared properly, then this matter was indeed not difficult.
"That's why that person didn't prepare too much in advance, just left a month and a half to spare." Duan Ming lightly clasped his eyebrows: "After all, it's just a thin layer of gold, if it drags on for a long time, then it will be easy to be exposed." ”
"Definitely. Then I'll send someone to investigate. Xing Qianqiu said.
"By the way, how did the Red Lotus Holy Mother that the Pure Fa said yesterday checked?" Duan Ming asked.
"No clues." Xing Qianqiu sighed.
"Jingfa is one of the leaders of the Jingzi generation, why do you think he would talk to us about this at this time?" Duan Ming said with a smile.
"I understand, I'll send someone to check my heart." The punishment was sudden.
There is no need for the Pure Dharma to take this head at this time, and since it has appeared, it must be profitable.
What can a monk want? Nature is a higher status.
And the Pure Law is already one of the leaders of the Pure Character Generation, and it is impossible to break through to the Fa Character Generation, so his opponent can only be the Pure Heart who is also the leader of the Pure Character Generation.
Therefore, even if this so-called "Red Lotus Virgin" is not the Pure Heart herself, I am afraid that she is also a key figure in the Pure Heart faction.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to Master Xing." Duan Ming clasped his fists and said to Xing Qianqiu: "The next thing is the matter of the Spiegel Division, and I can't help much here." ”
"Mr. Duan, ...... are you?" Xing Qianqiu was stunned.
"Go home, and ask Master Xing to lend me a horse, so I can go back." Duan Ming said.
"This ......" Xing Qianqiu sighed: "Okay, you wait a little longer, I'll arrange it later." ”
"Then thank you." Duan Ming said and jumped back to the house.
"Alas......" Looking at Duan Ming's back, Xing Qianqiu sighed silently.
Later, Xing Qianqiu arranged for someone to bring all the monks to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and at the same time arranged for someone to prepare thank-you gifts and horses for Duan Ming.
After a while, Duan Ming had already changed back into the clothes he had come from and came to the trailhead of the mountain.
And Xu Shizhong was already waiting here with a horse.
Seeing Duan Ming's dress at the moment, Xu Shizhong was slightly stunned: "Mr. Duan, who are you?" ”
"I'm not used to wearing brocade clothes, but it's still comfortable to come here." Duan Ming said with a smile and took the reins from Xu Shizhong's hand: "Old Xu, thank you." ”
"You're welcome." Xu Shizhong shook his head, and then handed a package to Duan Ming: "Mr. Duan, this is the thank you that the criminal commander has prepared for you, thank you for coming thousands of miles to help solve the case this time." ”
"Haha, this torturer has finally done a job." Duan Ming smiled and took the package in Xu Shizhong's hand, opened it and saw that it contained more than a dozen ingots of silver.
"Mr. Duan, the road is long, please take care." Xu Shizhong sighed, took a step back and said.
"Okay, when will you come to Linyang City again, I will invite you to go to Chunyu Building for a good meal." Duan Ming patted the package and said.
Then as soon as Duan Ming pulled the reins, he was about to drive the horse away.
However, at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the mountain road: "Attain Bodhi, that is, see immortality!" ”
Then dozens of men dressed in white appeared not far away, and I saw that these men were all handsome and extraordinary, holding the Dharma seal in their hands, without a trace of smile.
"This is, for the funeral?" Duan Ming was stunned for a moment.
"Sir, be careful!" Xu Shizhong's face changed: "This is a person from the Immortal Sect!" ”
"However, three white-clothed bishops, seven white-shirted deputies, and sixteen canon de......acons," Xu Shizhong muttered, "Could it be that one of the seven is here?" ”
"What are you talking about?" Duan Ming looked at Xu Shizhong suspiciously.
"Mr. Duan, do you know something......" Xu Shizhong was about to explain, but saw a Spiegel official running down from the mountain.
"Mr. Duan, the criminal commander asks you to go back." Seeing that Duan Ming hadn't left yet, the official said with a sigh of relief.
"Huh?" The corners of Duan Ming's mouth twitched slightly: "What's the matter?" ”
"Pure law, dead." The official sighed and said in a deep voice: "And the death is bizarre and weird, and there are traces of blood lotus on the chest." ”
"Pure Dharma is dead?" Duan Ming's brows furrowed, he turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly towards the mountain.
If it was an ordinary death sentence, Qianqiu would definitely not send an official to stop him, and since he sent an official to stop him, then even if he left, he would probably be arrested again.
In this case, it is better to go back quickly and solve this case once and for all.
At the same time, Duan Ming glanced back at the people of the Immortal Sect.
What is this great Qi No. 1 sect doing at this time? I'm afraid it's not a good person!
