Volume 2: The Red Lotus Case of the Ancient Temple Chapter 40: A Visit to the Abbot
Pushing open the door of the abbot's room, a faint fragrance came into the noses of Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu.
Duan Ming looked around and saw that the abbot's room was neat and clean, and an old monk in a robe was sitting on a futon on the side of the room, gently knocking on the wooden fish in his hand.
This old monk has gray hair, closed eyes, and a kind face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze just by looking at it, and it is the abbot of Fanxing Temple - Xuan Bei.
"Amitabha. You may be seated, two donors. Abbot Xuanbei slowly opened his eyes and looked at Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu.
Duan Ming and the two glanced at each other, and then sat opposite the abbot of Xuanbei.
"Tea, please." At this moment, Jingxin had already brewed tea and gently placed it on the table.
"Thank you, Master Pure Heart." Duan Ming nodded at Jingxin, and then looked at Abbot Xuanbei: "Abbot, it's really presumptuous to disturb early in the morning." ”
"It doesn't matter." Abbot Xuanbei gently put down the wooden hammer in his hand, looked at Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu and said, "Master Duan, I don't know if there is anything that needs the cooperation of the old man?" ”
"Actually, it's nothing." Duan Ming took a sip of tea and said, "It's been a while since I came to this Fanxing Temple, but I haven't come to visit the abbot, and I feel that it's really rude, so I'm here." ”
"Amitabha, Lord Duan has a heart." Abbot Xuanbei clasped his hands together and nodded: "It's the old man who has not fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, and it should have been the old man who went to visit you." ”
"No, no, how dare the kid bother the abbot to visit." Duan Ming hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Okay, you two don't say hello." Xing Qianqiu shook his head: "Abbot Xuanbei, I can't hide it, Xing Mou came here this time and wanted to inquire about something, that is, the Golden Buddha ......"
"Amitabha." The abbot of Xuanbei suddenly pronounced a Buddha horn, and then looked at Xing Qianqiu: "The punishment master, the old man has already said it before." The donor of the donation has specifically instructed him not to reveal his name, and the old man has agreed. The monks do not speak, and they cannot be said without faith. ”
"But that man clearly has bad intentions!" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "The Golden Buddha was destroyed, do you still want to hide it for that person?" ”
"Amitabha, this is the fate of the Golden Buddha, the old man is furious here, can the Golden Buddha be restored to its original state?" The abbot of Xuanbei asked rhetorically: "The old man handed over all the affairs in the temple to the pure heart and the pure law, but he didn't want to participate in this grievance anymore, so why should the torture donor be so hard?" ”
"Old Torture!" Just as Xing Qianqiu was about to speak, Duan Ming interrupted him: "Our arrival has already disturbed the abbot's Qing cultivation, why do you force him?" ”
"I'm ......" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming, shook his head and stopped talking.
"Old punishment, the abbot is unwilling to break the precepts, he has his own abbot's reason, we don't need to ask more." Duan Ming continued: "As for the investigation of the case, it is a matter of our Spiegel Division, is it possible that if the abbot doesn't say it, you won't be able to solve the case?" ”
"I'm sorry." Xing Qianqiu took a deep look at Duan Ming, and then clasped his fists and said to Abbot Xuanbei.
"It's okay, this matter is Lao Gu's or not, and I ask the two donors to forgive me." Abbot Xuanbei said.
"That's right, Abbot." Duan Ming said suddenly: "You just said that you entrusted all the affairs of the Fanxing Temple to the Pure Heart and the Pure Method? Why is that? I think your body is very tough. ”
"Amitabha, Buddhism is boundless, and the old man only wants to concentrate on studying Buddhism now, and he doesn't want to deal with worldly affairs anymore." Abbot Xuanbei said: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's refusal, Lao Wei would have already wanted to resign from this responsibility, like the three senior brothers of Xuan Ku, Xuan Xuan, and Xuan Jing, and enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to cultivate. ”
"It's true that things in the world do delay some research." Duan Ming nodded, glanced at Xing Qianqiu, and then said, "The kid is also suffering from it, and he can't extricate himself." ”
"Amitabha, Lord Duan has a lot of wisdom, which is gratifying." Abbot Xuanbei said: "It's just that everything in the world has a fixed number, and Lord Duan is still young, so it's not necessarily a bad thing to experience more." ”
"That's right, in fact, my recent research has also entered the top of the bottle, and I may indeed be able to gain some new gains when I come out for a walk." Speaking of this, Duan Ming got up and saluted to the abbot of Xuanbei: "Thank you Abbot for your guidance, there are still many things in the world that need to be dealt with by the kid, so the kid won't continue to bother." ”
"Then I'm leaving, this time I'm presumptuous." Xing Qianqiu also got up and said.
"Amitabha, the two donors walk slowly. If the old man has bad legs and feet, he won't send it. Saying that, the abbot of Xuanbei glanced at the pure heart: "Pure heart, you send the two donors." ”
"Amitabha, two donors, please!" Jingxin nodded and walked out with Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu.
"Master of Pure Heart." After leaving the abbot's room, Duan Ming looked at Jingxin: "What's wrong with the abbot's leg of Xuan Bei?" ”
"Amitabha." Jingxin explained: "In the early years, the abbot had a cold in his body due to going into the water to save people, and he could not heal for a long time, and he would feel unbearable cold pain every morning and evening, and he could not stand and walk. ”
"I see." Duan Ming nodded: "This Xuanbei Abbot is really pitiful, why don't you find a famous doctor to take a look?" I know a famous doctor in Linyang City, and when I go back, I will ask him to come here to see the abbot. ”
"Thank you for your kindness, but don't bother." Jingxin saluted Duan Ming: "Your Majesty has sent many imperial doctors to treat the abbot, but the result is in vain. ”
"Well, it looks like this disease is quite stubborn." Duan Ming nodded.
Then Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu left the East Courtyard and returned to the North Courtyard.
Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu had just entered the courtyard when they saw Xu Shizhong walking over with a monk.
"What is this?" Xing Qianqiu frowned and looked at Xu Shizhong.
"Criminal commander, Mr. Duan, just now I found out that this monk was sneaky, so I took him down on the spot." Xu Shizhong said: "Last night, I also saw him sneak into the East Courtyard. ”
"Oh?" Duan Ming carefully looked at the monk in front of him, he looked twelve or thirteen years old, and his face was very flustered.
"Little Master, I don't know what the law name is?" Duan Ming asked in a low voice.
"Little monk, little monk......" The monk was so frightened that his head was sweaty, and his lips trembled and said: "The little monk is called Mingde, not a thief, nor a thief. ”
"Oh? If you are not a thief, why are you sneaky? Duan Ming's expression suddenly became serious: "Say, how did you set the fire last night!" ”
"No, it's not!" Mingde shook his head again and again: "It's not the fire set by the little monk, and the little monk is not sneaky." Little monk, little monk is here to find a female benefactor! ”
"Female benefactor?" Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu glanced at each other, and then Duan Ming smiled: "What kind of female benefactor are you looking for at such a young age?" Also, if you want to find a female benefactor to look for it at the bottom of the mountain, what are you looking for in this north courtyard? ”
"Could it be ......" Duan Ming glanced at Xing Qianqiu next to him: "Do you think our criminal captain is a woman?" ”
