The Pure Land Temple is the second largest temple in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, after the White Horse Temple, because Master Xuanzang was famous for being a monk here, at night, the east gate of the Pure Land Temple came to the hundreds of black warriors, led by Junchen himself.

After more than ten days of secret investigation, Lai Junchen's subordinates finally discovered that there was an underground secret room in the Pure Land Temple, which was the news that Lai Junchen tortured after arresting seven or eight monks of the Pure Land Temple in a row, but no one knew who this secret room belonged to.

Lai Junchen is about to lose patience, these days he investigated Li Zhen, except for Wu Sansi gave him a gold medal in the Xingtang Society, the rest almost nothing.

And yesterday morning the important criminal Zhuang Wenzhong was robbed again, although Lai Junchen knew that Li Zhen did it, he had no evidence, the situation was very unfavorable to Lai Junchen, Lai Junchen after repeated consideration, decided to take advantage of Li Zhen was caught in the assassination case of King Xiang, take the initiative to attack, forcibly search the Pure Land Temple.

Knock, the black samurai knocked on the side door of the Pure Land Temple, and after a while, the side door creaked open, and a monk looked out, and he found that there was a crowd of black pressure outside, so frightened that he hurriedly wanted to close the door, but was held back by the samurai and forcibly pushed open the side door.

The black warriors swarmed in, more than a dozen monks in the temple were frightened and stumbled, running to the backyard, Lai Junchen stepped into the temple gate, he looked at the temple, and then surrounded by a large group of samurai, walked quickly to the inner courtyard, the black warriors lit torches one after another, and illuminated the place they passed as day.

They came to the square in front of the temple's Dharma Hall, and at this time, the temple presiding master, Master Guanghong, had received the news and led a large group of monks to greet them.

There are more than 2,000 monks in the Pure Land Temple, and the black monks are standing in the square, with great momentum, completely suppressing the black officials who are only more than 100 people, but Lai Junchen personally went out, which still made Master Guanghong very worried.

He stepped forward and bowed and said, "Amitabha, I don't know how valuable it is to come here late at night?"

Lai Junchen took out his imperial history gold medal and held it high, and said coldly: "I got the news that there are rebels hidden in the Pure Land Temple, and I have come to search for it."

Lai Junchen's imperial history gold medal was given by Wu Zetian, and when he saw the card like a face king, he would not take it out easily, but today in order to find out Li Zhen's secret, Lai Junchen also let it out.

Master Guanghong and dozens of senior monks saw the gold medal of the imperial history, they were so frightened that they knelt down one after another, and Master Guanghong said in a deep voice: "Qi Yu came to Zhongcheng, the Pure Land Temple is a place to the Buddha, and it will not involve the dispute between the court and the court, let alone hide the things of the rebels, I am afraid that I came to Zhongcheng to mishear the rumors." ”

Lai Junchen sneered, "The monks of the White Horse Temple also said that they are dedicated to the Buddha, but what is the result? They actually want to attack the palace, Hanoi Lao Nun claims to be reincarnated, but how much money has she cheated, these years, the monk nun can't believe it at all."

Master Guanghong hated that someone mentioned him with Xue Huaiyi and Hanoi Lao Nun the most, which was a great insult to his reputation, and he hated and said: "Xue Huaiyi is not a monk in the first place, and Hanoi Lao Nun is even more demonic, and he is hated by the real Buddhist disciples, how can he come to Zhongcheng to mention the Pure Land Temple and these two people?"

"Less nonsense"

Lai Junchen was already a little impatient, and he said viciously to the monks: "Go and open the secret room under the pagoda, otherwise I will burn down your Buddhist temple."

Only then did Master Guanghong react, it turned out that the monks who had disappeared in his temple these days were taken away by Lai Junchen, otherwise how would he know the secret room under the pagoda, which was the secret of the Pure Land Temple, and only a very few monks knew about it.

Where is Master Guanghong willing to let Lai Junchen destroy the secret room of the pagoda, he gritted his teeth and said: "The poor monk doesn't know why he came to Zhongcheng to check that secret room, that is the place where the abbots of the Pure Land Temple are buried, and it is the holy place of the Pure Land Temple, which has not been opened for more than 20 years, please forgive the poor monks for not being able to obey their orders."

Where would Lai Junchen believe his words, he saw Master Guanghong pushing three and four, his heart was furious, grabbed Master Guanghong's robe, and threw it back, several black warriors grabbed him and forcibly took him out of the gate.

When the monks saw that the abbot was arrested, they immediately became enthusiastic and shouted loudly, "Release the abbot and release the people" They poured up from all directions, and in the future, Junchen and his subordinates surrounded him, and dozens of monks holding sticks chased after the abbot disappeared, and only a moment to save Master Guanghong.

Lai Junchen saw that the other party was overwhelmed, he was angry and anxious, and shouted to Master Guanghong: "Old monk, I came to the Pure Land Temple to investigate the case by the will of the Holy Lord, and you actually disobeyed the decree and besieged the ministers of the court, do you want to rebel?"

Master Guanghong also knew that he couldn't have a hard top with Lai Junchen, this cool official could do anything, angered him, and it was likely to destroy the Pure Land Temple, he pondered for a while, and then compromised with Lai Junchen: "Come to Zhongcheng, I can open the secret room of the pagoda, but you are not allowed to rush into the destruction, I can only lead a few of you to go in to check." ”

Lai Junchen smiled darkly, "I can agree to your conditions." ”

"Then we will make a decision, please come to Zhongcheng and bring a few followers with me. ”

Master Hirohiro was extremely shrewd and only willing to take a few people there, he knew that if he asked all the black samurai to go to the pagoda, Lai Junchen would definitely not keep his promise, and the result would be that all these samurai would rush in and destroy the Dharma bodies of the previous abbots, and he would be a sinner in the Pure Land Temple at that time.

Seeing that he was very shrewd, Lai Junchen also admired him, so he led five of his men to follow him to the stupa at the back of the temple.

The stupa of the Pure Land Temple is made of white marble, about eight zhang high, divided into nine layers, mainly used to worship the magic vessels of the high monks of the Pure Land Temple.

Like the pagodas of all the temples in the Tang Dynasty, the stupas of the Pure Land Temple also have an underground palace, after the abbots of the past dynasties passed away, the Dharma body will be sent into the shrine of the underground palace, more than 100 years, there have been eight generations of abbots buried in the underground palace of the pagoda.

Master Guanghong burned incense and prayed, and recited the atonement scriptures, and then instructed several henchmen disciples to open the underground palace mechanism, only to hear a loud rumbling sound, the big stone slowly moved away, revealing a big black hole, there are steps in front of the big hole, leading to the underground palace.

Master Guanghong waved his hand, "Come to Zhongcheng and please"

Where was Junchen willing to enter the underground palace by himself, he gave Liu Guangye a look, Liu Guangye was helpless, so he had to bring a few entourages and follow Master Guanghong into the underground palace.

At this time, Lai Junchen already had a bad feeling, judging from the opening of the gate of the underground palace, I am afraid that this underground palace has not been opened for decades, of course Li Zhen could not hide Yu Shinan's true works in it, but his subordinates saw Li Zhen enter the temple with a scroll on his back, but he came out empty-handed, could it be that there are other treasures hidden in the temple?

Thinking about it, this is also the truth, how can Li Zhen's private treasure house let this group of monks know?

About a stick of incense time later, Liu Guangye ran out of the dungeon with his nose covered, and whispered to Lai Junchen: "Except for a few corpses, there is really nothing else."

"Is there a dark room or anything like that?"

Liu Guangye shook his head, "I have checked it carefully, and there is no dark room. ”

At this time, Master Guanghong came out last, angry and hateful in his heart, and said angrily to Lai Junchen: "Lai Zhongcheng should have nothing to say now."

Lai Junchen said coldly: "Spread the holy edict, the Pure Land Temple has hidden the traitor's things, and the royal history is specially ordered to come to Junchen to conduct a comprehensive search of the temple, and no one shall disobey, otherwise he will be punished for the crime of rebellion."

Lai Junchen fabricated Wu Zetian's oracle, which is the best thing to do, which shocked Master Guanghong dumbfounded, and Lai Junchen immediately shouted: "Pass my order, search the whole temple, and all corners are not allowed to be spared."

The thorough search of the Pure Land Temple was tossed and turned until noon the next day, and to the great disappointment of Lai Junchen, their search found nothing, even on the beams of the main hall, and no trace of the treasure was found at all.

At this time, Lai Junchen's belief was a little shaken, and he paced back and forth in the meditation room with his hands in his hands, could it be that he had fallen into Li Zhen's big fall, there was no treasure at all, and it was Li Pan's false news that Li Pan lied to Suo Wen? Lai Junchen knew that Li Zhen was extremely cunning, and it was entirely possible that he was deceived by Li Pan with a fool like Suo Wen.

But Lai Junchen's investigation during this period of time is based on Li Zhen's private hiding of the oath list, if this condition is not established, then his investigation these days will be all in vain, and so much energy and time have been wasted.

How could Lai Junchen be unwilling, he tried his best to convince himself that Li Zhen had indeed hidden the oath list, and he had not been burned by him as rumored, let alone as he said to the saint, he had not found the oath list at all.

Lai Junchen firmly believes that Li Zhen got the list, and Zhuang Wenzhong's gold medal is the best proof, proving that Li Yuanjia did not hide the list and gold medal elsewhere, since the gold medal is on Li Xun丨, then the oath list must be in Li Yuanjia's secret room, and Li Zhen is the first to find this secret room, how can the list not be in Li Zhen's hands?

At this time, Liu Guangye walked in with a depressed face, and Lai Junchen immediately asked, "Did you find anything else?"

Liu Guangye shook his head, indicating that he had found nothing, and he sighed and said: "Zhongcheng, I have searched three times, and nothing has been found, there should be no secret in the Pure Land Temple." ”

"That's strange, where the hell is it hidden?" said to himself.

At this moment, a warrior outside rushed to the door and reported: "Qi Yu Zhongcheng, King Liang sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhongcheng"

Lai Junchen was stunned, and immediately ordered: "Bring him in"

Soon, a confidant of Wu Sansi walked in quickly, bowed down and said: "Come to Zhongcheng, His Royal Highness King Liang has important matters to discuss with Zhongcheng, please Zhongcheng go to King Liang's mansion quickly." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know if I am humble, there is only this sentence, please go to Liang Wangfu quickly"

It's a little strange to come to Junchen, what is Wu Sansi in a hurry to find himself?

He pondered for a moment, then turned to Liu Guangye and ordered: "Since there is no search, then there is no need to investigate further, quickly go and pass on my order, stop the search for the time being, and everyone withdraw from the Pure Land Temple."
