Chapter 294: The Siege
Jiang Han groped for the bookshelves and bedside in the meditation room, trying to find out if there were any secret rooms or secret passages, but after touching around, he couldn't find any switches.
Jiang Han looked at the books on the shelf, this bookshelf has three layers, and each layer is placed with Buddhist classics, including "Diamond Sutra", "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", "Tripitaka Sutra", "The Great Buddha Crowning Lengyan Mantra" and "Huayan Sutra......
Most of these Buddhist scriptures have a light layer of dust, and only one of them, the Huayan Sutra, is relatively clean.
"Xuanguang has read the Huayan Sutra recently, or is this book a switch to open the secret room......
Jiang Han stretched out his hand and grabbed the Huayan Sutra, took it directly, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, this was not a machine switch.
But the next moment, Jiang Han was stunned again, and this "Huayan Sutra" seemed to be a little light.
He reached out and knocked on the Huayan Sutra, and found that it seemed to be empty.
Jiang Han flipped through the "Huayan Sutra" and found that there was a sandwich in the middle of this scripture, and when he shook it, he could hear a slight sound inside, and there seemed to be something in it.
Jiang Han stretched out his hand to grope and found a small bracket on the side of the scripture, and with a light push, he opened the "Huayan Sutra" and dropped out of it seven or eight letters.
"This Xuanguang hid his letters in the Huayan Sutra, what are these letters written in?"
Jiang Han picked up the letter, only to see that the cover of the letter was written "Master Xuanguang, the abbot of Chen Baima", and Guo Zhenming was signed in the lower left corner.
The same is true of the other epistles.
Jiang Han opened the letter and read it carefully.
After reading this letter hidden in the "Huayan Sutra", Jiang Han's heart turned upside down.
Xuanguang, the abbot of the White Horse Temple, the person behind it turned out to be the general judge of Jingzhao Mansion!
That is, the signature on the letter, Guo Zhenming!
Of course, he has no impression of this Guo Zhenming Jiang Han, but the general judgment of the government is a six-grade official, who is in charge of many affairs such as soldiers and civilians, money valley, household registration, enlistment, and prison litigation.
It's no wonder that the White Horse Temple once caused a fuss, and it was okay, because there was Guo Tongju wiping his ass behind him.
Jiang Han continued to read other letters, and soon found that in addition to using the reputation of seeking children to accumulate a lot of money, Jiang Han also saw the means of the White Horse Temple to buy officials.
There are many officials in Kyoto who love men, and Hakubaji Temple has raised some handsome monks as gifts to officials in Kyoto, so as to make a bigger background and serve as a shelter for Hakubaji.
In the letter, Guo Tongju also mentioned that the monk he sent last time liked it very much.
Although his name is not mentioned, there is respect and flattery in Guo Zhenming's wording.
It proves that among the people befriended by the White Horse Temple, there is also a higher status and power than Jing Zhaotong.
"Guo Zhenming shouldn't have mentioned Zhu Sanluan, he mentioned that person's wording has been respectful to the point of flattery, but I'm afraid that that person's status is still above Zhu Sanluan."
Jiang Han's heart sank, originally he thought that this was just a case of a lewd monk using the reputation of the White Horse Temple to attract believers and tarnish his innocence, but he didn't expect that there was a collusion with the powerful people in Kyoto behind it.
Bactria is both repulsive to Buddhism and Taoism, but its tolerance for Buddhism is much wider than that of Taoism.
"The Bai family sent someone to report the case and sued the White Horse Temple, I have asked people to intimidate, send it back and seal it, next time there must be no such thing, once this matter is exposed, I will not be able to keep the abbot."
Jiang Han saw this passage and immediately recalled that the lewd monk just now had said that there had been a death in the White Horse Temple.
It seems that the reason why the murder case did not cause trouble was because Guo Zhenming was there.
Jiang Han finished reading the rest of the letters, and found that the White Horse Temple had accumulated wealth so far, and the officials he had befriended behind it were not only Jing Zhaotong, but if he wanted to uproot it, he was afraid that Kyoto would be shocked.
"In the huge city of Kyoto, in fact, the darkness is already full of cockroaches and maggots, evil ways, and lewd monks, all of whom have stretched their minions to Kyoto and the center of power."
Jiang Han put all the letters in his arms and hid them, and after the matter of these letters was exposed in the White Horse Temple, he wanted to give them to Zhongli, and then he would forward them to Emperor Huiming.
"The fire in the Scripture Building should be about to be extinguished, and Xuanguang should be about to come back, so I have to leave at this time...... It's just that Bai Yundong and Bai Yunxiang's whereabouts are still unknown, and the two of them are not mentioned in the letter, but I am afraid that they are already more than lucky, so leave here first and tell Ning Yue to discuss countermeasures! ”
Jiang Han quickly retreated, left the abbot's meditation room, and kept walking out in the darkness all the way, Jiang Han found that the fire in the library had been extinguished, but the monks of the White Horse Temple kept rushing in the direction of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
"Quick! Hugh wants to let the infiltrators go! ”
"That person is so powerful, the two senior brothers died tragically, and he must not be allowed to leave!"
Jiang Han was taken aback in his heart, was Si Jian discovered?
No wonder he read the letters in the abbot's room for so long, and the abbot Xuanguang did not come back, because Si Jian was discovered.
Although Si Jian's little girl's swordsmanship is at stake, even if it is ranked in the realm of grandmasters, it must be the best, but so many monks are not easy to deal with, not to mention that the Buddhist cultivation of the abbot Xuanguang is not less than five grades, and Si Jian may not be able to get out of the encirclement.
"Just now I asked Si Jian to go down the mountain to report the news, how could she be found in the Daxiong Treasure Palace? Could it be that something has happened in it? ”
Jiang Han secretly said in his heart, after all, he couldn't bear to abandon this little girl and leave alone, if he let this little girl fall into the hands of a group of lewd monks, he didn't know what would happen.
Jiang Han hid in the dark and rushed to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and soon came to the outside of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and at a glance, he saw a group of monks holding torches to surround the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and the fire inside was soaring to the sky, and there was the sound of ping-pong fighting and the sound of women's coquettishness.
Jiang Han's luck was in his eyes, and his eyesight strengthened, and he saw a red-clothed girl standing against a pillar in the main hall from a distance, wielding a long whip in her hand, and in front of the girl were four or five monks wielding long sticks.
Although she was besieged by four or five monks, the girl waved the long whip in her hand, like a flexible poisonous snake, making a loud explosion in the air, and in an instant, two monks were hit by the whip, and they were directly torn open a big hole, and retreated in pain.
Opposite the girl is the abbot Xuanguang, who wears a five-Buddha hat and has an unusually kind face, and Xuanguang's side is the prison monk lotus pond and the first Zhisheng.
"It turned out that it wasn't Si Jian, but the Lord of Shaohui." Jiang Han couldn't help but be surprised after seeing the girl's appearance clearly, remembering that he had seen Yuan Bin and the county lord of Shaohui during the day, it seemed that the two of them had a mission to sneak into the White Horse Temple, but for some reason the county lord of Shaohui was discovered by a group of monks.
"This woman killed and injured the monks of our temple, it seems that she has discovered something, she must not be allowed to escape, give it to me together, and kill her!" The prison courtyard lotus pond pointed at the county lord of Shaohui and said loudly.
At this time, the benevolent color on the lotus pond's face turned into a fierce color, like a fierce evil monk, which was the opposite of the lotus pond master during the day.
Under Lianchi's order, eight burly monks with swords suddenly walked out and slashed at Shao Hui with their swords.
Lord Shaohui put his feet on a little bit, leaned back, dodged the two knives in front of him, shook the long whip in his hand, and swept towards the door of a knife-wielding monk in front of him with a "snap".
The other seven monks sneered and besieged it, swinging their swords and slashing indiscriminately.
Jiang Han saw that the eight monks were at most in the seven-rank Zen master realm, but the county lord of Shaohui seemed to have consumed too much strength in the fight just now, and in the face of the attack of the eight evil monks, he was stumbling left and right, and it was difficult to resist, and the defeat was decided.
In a few moments, he had to be cut into several pieces by eight monks.
Jiang Han quickly thought about the war poems that he could use in his mind, and prepared to attack the east and west, first attack the other monks to attract attention, and then use illusion to rescue the Shaohui County Lord.
Among the monks of the White Horse Temple, the abbot Xuanguang's cultivation is the highest, which should be the five-grade realm, plus other monks, in the case of hard encounters, they have defeat and no win.
Just when he was about to use the song "Jiangchengzi Mizhou Hunting", he suddenly heard the sound of swords from the west side, turned his head to look, and saw a man walking over, opening his mouth and spraying, before he turned into a sword and directly hacked to death two monks of the White Horse Temple.
It is the study of Taixue is Yin Lushan.
The appearance of Yin Lushan immediately attracted the attention of most of the monks, and the face of the prison monk Lianchi changed, and he said, "It's a member of Confucianism!" ”
Although Yin Lushan was dressed as a rich man, he proved his identity by spitting out a sword.
"Take him down for me!" Lianchi shouted.
Many monks rushed towards Yinlu Mountain with their swords.
Looking at the chaotic situation all of a sudden, Jiang Han's heart moved, and the Taixue Mansion really discovered the abnormality of the White Horse Temple.
But Yin Lushan is no match for so many monks.
suddenly appeared out, it should be to make a sound and let Yuan Bin save Li Qiaoqiao.
Just when Jiang Han was thinking so, he saw a person sneaking into the main hall quietly, coming behind the eight monks who were besieging Li Qiaoqiao with swords, stretched out his hand, and a move "Yi Shui Song" burst out.
Instantly injured two monks who had not been able to take precautions.
The other six monks were taken aback, and before they could react, Yuan Bin slashed out another sword qi, injuring one more person.
Lord Shaohui waved his long whip, and at the moment when he couldn't make a move, he grabbed his head through the sword light of a monk and shook it fiercely.
The monk was thrown out in an instant and fell heavily on the pillars in the hall.
"County Lord, come with me!" Yuan Bin shouted loudly.
The county lord of Shaohui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yuan Bin appear.
At this time, the abbot Xuanguang suddenly spoke: "You should know." Observe with good wisdom. If so, all the thoughts and deeds are known...... As a Confucian person, the donors pretended to burn incense and worship the Buddha in the name of visiting my White Horse Temple at night. ”
The voice was old and distant, as if it was full of magic.
Yuan Bin and Lord Shaohui, who had just wanted to leave the Daxiong Treasure Palace, suddenly stagnated and paused, only to feel that most of their body's strength seemed to have disappeared, and their bodies were lazy and unable to lift their energy.
"Good-hearted? Is it good to enter the meditation room of a female pilgrim in the middle of the night and rape the female pilgrim? A group of six impure lewd monks, when the lord of this county leaves, he must lead someone to kill you! Lord Shaohui seemed to have discovered the inside story of the White Horse Temple's quest for a child, and scolded with disgust on his face.
