Chapter 523: This is a small base camp!
Xingchan Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, which is rumored to be chased upwards until the time of the Tang Dynasty in China.
It is said that the monk who established the Juzen Temple once went to the White Horse Temple of the Tang Dynasty to study Buddhism, and later returned to the Wa Kingdom, and continued to practice in a large temple, and at the age of seventy, he came to Xingchan Temple here and built a small temple for practice.
This small temple was the predecessor of the later Xingchan Temple.
Since the establishment of Xingchan Temple, it has a very close connection with Zen Buddhism in China, and every few decades and hundreds of years, there are monks to study Buddhism in China.
Officially, this Xingchan Temple actually has a good relationship with Huaxia. Over the years, there have been a lot of exchanges with some monasteries in China, and there are also Chinese monks who have come here to preach Buddhism and study.
When Zhu Yu and Ran Jie quietly came up to Xingchan Temple, they found that although it was very late, it was not quiet in Xingchan Temple, and it could even be said that it was quite lively.
"Boss, is there a problem with this Xingzen Temple? It's the middle of the night, what are you doing? So lively? ”
Although the gate of Xingchan Temple has been closed, the candles in each hall are lit, and there are monks in and out of one main hall, not knowing what they are doing.
The ears of the two people are better than ordinary people, and at this time, they can still hear the monk singing in the main hall, and they don't know what ritual they are doing.
"Boss, do you want to go over and have a look?" Ran Jie, who had already turned over the wall, asked Zhu Yu.
"Touch it and take a look." Zhu Yu looked around. Fortunately, except for the main hall, the rest of the place is quiet. Although there are also candles in front of the Buddha statues in the side hall, there are no monks, and they have little influence in the past.
The two of them quietly touched it and stopped more than twenty meters away from the main hall - there were bushes here, and it was more than enough for the two of them to hide.
Zhu Yu Tianqi Heavenly Eye, looked into the main hall. It was found that there were monks wearing various colored robes sitting in the main hall chanting sutras, and in front of the statue of the Buddha in the main hall, there was something wrapped in yellow cloth.
Tianyan saw through the yellow cloth, and there were eight small porcelain altars inside, and the porcelain altars were ashes!
Could it be the ashes of those seven war criminals?
Shouldn't it be seven? How could it be eight?
Zhu Yu was a little puzzled, what does this mean?
"Boss, do you want to find a chance to sneak in?" Ran Jie asked quietly.
"No, let's go to the back and have a look!" Zhu Yu shook his head, he had already determined that this place was definitely inseparable from the Xingya Guanyin Academy!
"Boss, why are we here?" The two of them touched the backyard, and Ran Jie saw that there was no one around, so he asked quietly.
"Because I said in the report I saw earlier," Zhu Yu explained quietly, "this Xingya Guanyin Monastery was actually established with the support of a monk from Xingchan Temple.
Although Xingchan Temple later announced that the monk had been canceled and had nothing to do with Xingchan Temple, this was not the case. Xingchan Temple still has dealings with some people and that monk.
Even later, after the monk had passed away, his disciple presided over the Xingya Guanyin Temple, and there was still a secret relationship with the Xingchan Temple. ”
"That's what happened!" Ran Jie suddenly realized, "That is to say, this Xingchan Temple is clearly closely related to our Chinese Buddhism, but in fact it is doing shady things!" ”
"At least that's what the report says." Zhu Yu said, "So we have to investigate—after the disappearance of the Xingya Guanyin Academy, this is the one who is most likely to accept these people." ”
Zhu Yu is preconceived and already knows some information, so he will observe more carefully, targeted observation, plus Tianyan, he will naturally be able to find more information.
If Ran Jie hadn't come out to scout here at night because Zhu Yu had come here to reconnoiter before resting, plus Zhu Yu's explanation just now, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to find out what was wrong.
After all, the fame of Xingchan Temple is there, and the fact that it is closely related to China also exists, so it is difficult to be suspicious.
It's a matter of inertia.
The two of them quietly crossed the partition wall between the front yard and the back yard, and entered the backyard, and found that the space here was actually much larger than the front yard, and the various buildings were much denser.
The Buddha hall built in the front yard is relatively regular, learned the style of China, the main hall is built on the central axis, there are deviations on both sides, and they are very symmetrical.
The building in this backyard is relatively compact.
Neither of them knows Japanese, and they don't know much about the words on the building - if they are mixed with Chinese characters, they can barely guess it, otherwise, who can know that the high-level "Mitarai" mentioned in the network of a famous and famous killing is actually a bathroom?
Fortunately, Zhu Yu has a heavenly eye, and he can roughly guess what place it is by scanning it.
For example, the most compact place for monks to sleep, the Datong shop, is very simple - simple to the point of simplicity.
Then there is the kitchen and the place to eat, which looks very old, and when you look at these facilities here, it feels like it has been isolated from modern society, except for wires and lights, you basically can't see anything related to modern society.
There was also nothing to see in the utility store, cleaning tools, spare items on the bed, kitchen facilities, spare tables and chairs, incense candles, etc.
The utility warehouse is very large, and only more than half of the things in it are contained, and it can be seen that there are a lot of things consumed in it every day.
These three types of buildings occupy one-third of the area of the backyard.
Although the number of ordinary monks is the largest, the area where they live is not large, but the place where those monks with positions live, similar to double rooms, single rooms, suites, and in the end, they are a single person and a small building.
Although it is a two-story building, it can also show the identity of its owner.
Zhu Yu guessed that the person was either presiding over or being in a prison or something, otherwise it would be impossible to live in such a high-end house.
The two of them looked at the places where these people lived, and Zhu Yu could see that the more they went to the high-end residence, the more they could see some antiquities - ancient paper Buddhist scriptures with rare books, bronze Buddha statues from the Yuan and Song dynasties, and Buddha pictures from the Ming and Qing dynasties hanging on the walls......
What caught Zhu Yu's attention the most was that in the two-story building, a small hall on the second floor was enshrined in a mutton fat jade Buddha, forty centimeters high, sitting Buddha. Tianyan can see that this Buddha statue should be in the Tang Dynasty!
That's awesome!
The things of the Tang Dynasty, even the three colors unearthed from the tomb, are very precious.
This jade Buddha statue is not only old, but the jade quality is also very top-notch, and Zhu Yu can see that this jade Buddha does not know how many people have worshipped it, and the light of faith on it is simply dazzling!
What surprised Zhu Yu was that the person living in this two-story building was really a high monk, and his whole body was seen by the eyes of heaven, at least the Buddha nature was full, and he was not the kind of commercial monk who was a philistine.
Did you guess wrong?
If Xingchan Temple and Xingya Guanyin Temple are really related, it is impossible for the high-level not to know.
So, how can this senior monk be so "clean"?
Zhu Yu looked at the other monks with doubts.
Ran Jie didn't understand why Zhu Yu was going back and forth here.
But the boss has the boss's equivalent, he just needs to execute. Therefore, when Zhu Yu retreated to another small building, his attention was all on the surrounding environment, but whenever there was any movement, he would observe it.
When Zhu Yu came to the second small building, he found that the area inside was obviously not as large as the previous small building.
There are two such small buildings, both of which are single-family courtyards, and Zhu Yu looked at one casually.
He found that although the area of this courtyard is not large, the decoration style is very modern, and the air conditioner, TV, computer and other electrical appliances are readily available on the first floor.
The second floor is a bit nondescript, and there are many ancient Buddha statues and Buddhist ritual instruments in the small hall; In the right place, there is a Buddha statue decorated with colored lanterns, but the Buddha statue is a half-meter-high Song Dynasty gilded bronze statue.
Even the big monks live in it are all ancient Zen beds made of mahogany, but there is an eye protection lamp on the side of the bed.
The monk sleeping on the meditation bed looked at his kind face, big belly, and very Buddha-like, but when he looked at it, he was really not a monk, but similar to those profiteers!
There's a problem here!
Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, at least for now, there is still a need to investigate.
Ran Jie watched Zhu Yu just look outside the small courtyard for a while, and then went to other places.
Looking at such a courtyard, I frowned for a while, gritted my teeth for a while, and was a little happy for a while, but I really didn't understand.
Finally, after leaving the place where these people lived, Ran Jie couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Boss, that's it? What can you see? ”
When Zhu Yu heard Ran Jie ask this, he knew that Ran Jie had seen the problem, and secretly scolded himself for being careless, and immediately explained:
"I'm done. Don't look at me, I just looked at the building, in fact, just like that, I can see the specific things. ”
His mind was spinning, and he barely circled his actions:
"For example, the few single-family courtyards we looked at before, looking at how many wires came in and out, we knew whether the monks at the top of this place were real cultivators.
Do you remember, the most upscale small building, except for a wire, there is nothing outside. It seems that only electric lights are used. But the latter ones not only have wires, but also air conditioners, network cables, and so on.
Then these monks must be practicing and must not be so pure. Then there must be something wrong with this backyard. At least those monks weren't that pure. This is inconsistent with the reputation of the Buddhist holy place of Xingchan Temple.
Now we can't be alarmed, and if we have doubts, let's look elsewhere - although there is nothing in the utility warehouse, I think there must be something wrong with the remaining buildings.
Do you remember, in the jungle of Ah San, how did we find those treasures in the abandoned temple? ”
"Tallinn?" Ran Jie's eyes lit up!
"That's right." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "Not only Tallinn, but also places like the Scripture Pavilion should also be checked. ”
The two of them sneaked into Tallinn. Zhu Yu was surprised to find that there were still a few monks guarding here in Tallinn.
The entire backyard is actually patrolled by monks, but there are two people here in Tallinn to watch, which is a bit interesting.
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie glanced at each other, and they both felt that they should have come to the right place.
However, these two men were very alert, and from time to time they still walked around Tallinn without the slightest intention of relaxing.
"Boss, I'm going over and lure them away?" Ran Ming had an idea, "Then you go in and have a look?" ”
"No, you don't." Zhu Yu shook his head and said:
"Since we got the inspiration from that temple in Ah San, then let's use the method there."
As he spoke, he took out a small bag from his pocket, shook it in front of Ran Jie, and said:
"I haven't learned very well, but at least I should be able to charm these two people!"
Zhu Yu looked up, found the upper hand, and then untied the bag, grabbed a handful of the powder of that flower and raised it.
Ran Jie immediately held his breath, and then listened to Zhu Yu begin to speak in a somewhat confusing voice.
The two monks first smelled the smell, were a little puzzled, and were looking for the source of the fragrance, and then they heard the sound of nothingness, and before they could react, they fell down in a daze.
Zhu Yu read a few more words, and when he saw that the two of them really didn't react, he stopped and made an "OK" gesture to Ran Jie.
Ran Jie gave a thumbs up, and then the two of them touched Tallinn.
Tallinn is not too big, there are street lights inside, Zhu Yutian's eyes are open, and he looks over one by one.
He even saw a relic!
The earlier the stone pagoda, the greater the chance of producing relics.
The later it goes, the more luxurious the stone pagoda becomes, but the chance of producing relics is smaller, and in the end, it is almost gone.
For example, in the stone pagoda at the beginning, there were seven colorful relics, and that kind of thing is even more impossible.
It's just that to Zhu Yu's surprise, he has seen all the stone towers, but he didn't find anything abnormal!
He didn't give up, his eyes were full of energy, and he looked carefully again, but he still didn't see anything.
Ran Jie was also carefully observing, and even stomped his feet from time to time to listen to whether there was space in the soil under his feet.
Obviously, he was disappointed too.
"Boss, is there nothing wrong here?" Returning to the original starting point, where the two monks were, Ran Jie asked Zhu Yu in disappointment.
"Yes. There's nothing unusual in this Tallinn. We'll need to look elsewhere. Let's go. ”
"And the two of them?" Ran Jie asked.
"Don't worry about it, in an hour, they'll wake up."
The two of them quietly left here and sneaked towards the Scripture Pavilion.
The Scripture Pavilion is a three-story wooden building, and it looks a little old.
The attic door is locked, and it is the modern kind of fingerprint lock, and it is obviously a little difficult to enter from here.
Zhu Yu glanced up and said:
"I'll go up and have a look first, and I'll look around."
Ran Jie knew that in terms of skills, Zhu Yu had surpassed them now, so he nodded, hid in the grass, and observed the surroundings.
Zhu Yu climbed to the second floor and found that the windows here were all closed. Although it looks like a wooden window, it is actually reinforced.
He climbed up to the third floor again, turned around, and found that there was a window on the third floor that was not closed very tightly.
He took out a knife from the space, gently inserted it through the gap, and slowly lifted the latch inside.
Opening the window, Zhu Yu went inside—in fact, he had already seen it with the eye of heaven, and there was an underground secret room in this scripture pavilion.
However, after entering the three-story scripture pavilion, Zhu Yu did not go down immediately. He found that there were many rare and rare books here.
These rare and rare books are not only Buddhist scriptures, but also others, such as medical books, astrological books, and so on.
Many of these books are Chinese books from the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties.
Zhu Yu could even guess that these books were definitely not taken by those monks who went to China at that time, and were most likely snatched by those devils during the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance and the later War of Resistance Against Japan.
At least 100 copies!
Zhu Yu was not polite at all, and directly put away all these things from Huaxia.
He went to the second floor again, there are a lot of Buddhist scriptures here, Zhu Yu took a look, the things here are relatively not so precious, so he picked a few books casually, and then went to the first floor.
Many Buddhist scriptures on the first floor are printed in modern times, and the value is not high, Zhu Yu didn't care about it anymore, but came to a sutra shelf.
This prayer frame was a camouflaged secret door, Zhu Yutian swept it, found the mechanism, and pushed the prayer frame to the side, revealing a one-person-high secret door.
Zhu Yutian glanced at it and found that there was no mechanism in it, so he walked down.
It's not big down there, two dark rooms. One room is filled with all kinds of books. Zhu Yu looked at it and found that these books were also snatched, they were all very precious, and some of them had been lost in Huaxia.
There is not a single Buddhist scripture in these books, all of which are medical, divination, stars, similar scriptures and commentaries, as well as commentaries on Confucian classics by famous scholars of various generations.
Zhu Yu unceremoniously put away all these things.
In the other dark room, there are various Buddhist ritual instruments. Any piece put in the auction house in Huaxia is a large existence of hundreds of thousands, but here, there is a house full of piles.
Obviously, needless to say, these things were also snatched at that time.
Zhu Yu didn't leave any of them, and put them all away.
Obviously, though, he wasn't satisfied—he hadn't found anything about the Koya Kannon Temple.
Where the Blood Earth Guanyin is, it is still unknown.
Zhu Yu turned around again and found that there was really no evidence, so he had to exit the dark room and leave the Scripture Pavilion.
Ran Jie saw Zhu Yu come out, revealing his figure and asking:
"Boss, how's it going? Did you find anything? ”
"I didn't find anything related to Koya Kannon-in." Zhu Yu shook his head and said, "Let's go to other places to find out." ”
Ran Jie was also a little disappointed, and the two of them continued to look in the backyard.
However, almost all of them have been searched here, and although two secret rooms have also been found, the contents inside have nothing to do with Xingya Guanyin Temple and Blood and Earth Guanyin.
Is there a mistake?
Zhu Yu once again doubted his previous thoughts.
"Let's go, let's go to the front yard again!" He thought of the eight columbariums that had been exceeded, and Zhu Yu immediately said to Ran Jie again.
Ran Jie didn't know what Zhu Yu thought of again, but he didn't ask much, and rushed to the front yard with Zhu Yu.
When the two of them passed, the overtime meeting in the front yard had ended, and the monks were leaving the main hall in twos and threes and going to the resting place in the backyard.
Then, Zhu Yu saw a monk holding a box wrapped in yellow cloth, watching these monks leave.
There is something wrong with this monk!
