Chapter 60: Anagrams

"Daishokokuji Temple".

The reason why Xu Zhen said these four words in public was to see the monk's reaction.

As it turned out, he guessed right.

"Xu Zhen," asked a certain catcher who didn't have a good relationship with Xu Zhen, "what are you crazy about?" What is Daxiangguoji Temple, I have never heard of it. ”

"Senior brother," Shen Yu asked in a low voice behind Xu Zhen, "Do you know this monk, he is from the Great Xiangguo Temple?" ”

At this moment, everyone looked at Xu Zhen curiously, not knowing what he meant.

In the crowd, only Cheng Xiao saw the problem, because Xu Zhen's words had already made the monk open his eyes for the second time, and he also looked at Xu Zhen.

It seems that Xu Zhen should have guessed something.

"Man has the heart of a beast, fantasy without heart, confusion without heart, and fear without heart."

At this time, Xu Zhen repeated the monk's Buddhist words in public, and when he repeated, his eyes were fixed on the monk, wanting to see how he reacted next?

"This is not a Buddhist language, but an anagram," Xu Zhen continued, "People have the heart of a beast, and the heart of a beast is that horizontal, and a person plus a horizontal is the word 'big'."

"Fantasy has no heart, and thinking about the word to remove the heart is for the word 'phase'.

"Confusion without a heart is to remove the heart and trap the word or, which is the word 'country'.

"The last one, there is no heart, it should be the one who has no fear, remove the word heart, it is naturally a 'temple' word."

Oh......

For a moment, the lobby was silent, all shocked by Xu Zhen's magical comprehension ability.

No one thought that Daxiangguo Temple would mean such a thing.

After a few seconds, the monk suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Hahahaha...... Hahahaha......"

The laughter was deafening like piercing clouds and cracking stones, and many of the officials who were killed blocked their ears again.

"Hey, what are you laughing at? Don't laugh! The catcher pointed at the monk with a whistle stick, "Aren't you a madman?" ”

"Yes, hurry up and speak," Fu Bin urged, "did we guess right?" What does Daxiangguoji Temple mean? ”

......As a result, after the monk recited the Buddha's name, he closed his eyes again, held the prayer beads, and recited the scriptures.

"Hey? You? cough ......" Fu Bin was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Shen Yu stared at the big sparkling eyes, like a little fan girl, and exclaimed, "Such a difficult topic, Senior Brother Xu can guess it after listening to it once, it's really amazing!" ”

Xu Zhen hurriedly waved his hand and corrected: "He said it twice." ”

"Great Xiangguo Temple......" Shen Yu frowned, "What does this mean?" ”

"That's why I'm going to ask everyone," Xu Zhen asked, "any of you have heard of this Great Xiangguo Temple?" ”

Hearing Xu Zhen's question again, all the officials shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of it.

"I know, I know!" Who knows, an old official who was in charge of cleaning next to him suddenly raised his hand and said, "We do have a Daxiangguo Temple in Yanping County, which is in the area of Qiaotougou in Qilidian!" ”

"Really?" Some people questioned, "It's not far from the county seat, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"I know, I know," the old official excitedly introduced, "This Great Xiangguo Temple was built to commemorate himself as King Xiangguo after the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne.

"At that time, the Prime Minister's Mansion was near Qilidian, where there used to be a city. Later, because of the serious flooding, the city was gone, but the Great Xiangguo Temple remained, and I heard that the incense was very strong. My parents said that when they were young, they used to go there to burn incense.

"But then Xuanjiao rose, Buddhism declined, and the Great Xiangguo Temple gradually declined and fell into disuse, about 20 years ago, there was another flood, and basically not many people knew about it."

Everyone calculated in their hearts, this old official is in his fifties this year, and when his parents were young, weren't they seventy or eighty years ago?

Even the old officials have only heard about it, and I am afraid that there will be no more people who have really seen this Great Xiangguo Temple.

In this way, everyone is even more curious, I don't know why this monk who claimed to have come to the Yamen to surrender himself mentioned such an ancient temple that has long disappeared?

"Then ......" Cheng Xiao glanced at the monk, and then asked the old officer, "Is there anything there now?" ”

"I don't know," said the old officer, "how can there be some ruins left after the flood?" The place was muddy and wet, the roads were not easy to walk, and few people went there. ”

Gee......

Cheng Xiao smacked his lips and frowned, and suddenly fell into hesitation, not knowing whether he should pay attention to this strange thing.

It stands to reason that now is the busiest time for the yamen, and he shouldn't meddle in his affairs, just drive the monk away.

However, the monk refused to say anything, and played an anagram with them, showing that the visitor was not good.

In addition, he claimed that he had turned himself in before, so he didn't miss any major clues, what if it was not related to Qiu Batian's case?

So......

Xu Zhen saw Cheng Xiao's thoughts, and thought that he didn't want to get involved in Qiu Batian's affairs anyway, so it was better to take the initiative to ask Ying to find out the intentions of this mysterious monk.

So, he immediately stood up and said to Cheng Xiao: "Cheng Zhutou, it's better to leave this matter to me and Shen Yu!" Let's go to this Daxiangguo Temple to have a look? ”

"Okay!" Cheng Xiao agreed unexpectedly.

One is that he hates Xu Zhen, so it's better to be out of sight and out of mind; One is that Shen Yu often causes trouble, so it is better to follow Xu Zhen; There is another one, Xu Zhen is indeed clever enough, and it is more appropriate for him to investigate this case than to send someone else.

However, Cheng Xiao still kept an eye on it, and added:

"To be on the safe side, let's let Fu Bin follow you!"

"This ......" Fu Bin was a hundred reluctant, but Cheng Xiao had already spoken, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey.

"And Lao Duan," Xu Zhen pointed to the old officer, "I have to let Lao Duan lead the way." ”

"Okay, okay, no problem, no problem." Lao Duan hurriedly agreed, he could make meritorious contributions to the yamen, and he couldn't ask for it.

So, Xu Zhen and his entourage immediately went to the stable to select fast horses, and wanted to find the ruins of Daxiangguo Temple.

Just as they were about to leave, Xu Zhen heard Cheng Xiao give another order to the two arresters, letting them stay in the lobby and keep an eye on the monks.

Hearing this, Xu Zhen couldn't help but glance back, but saw that the monk was still calm and relaxed, as if he had entered Zen.

Like Cheng Xiao, Xu Zhen has long noticed that this monk is not good, and he seems to have a strong purpose, so he can't let go of any clues, he must find this Daxiangguo Temple and see what kind of medicine is sold in this person's gourd?

The world is unpredictable and unpredictable.

Xu Zhen never expected that the search process would be quite smooth.

The place of Qiaotougou in Qilidian is not far from the county seat, and because it is winter, the wet and muddy road has been frozen, and before noon, several of them have already rushed to the vicinity of the destination.

After some inquiries in the local area, they walked directly through the frozen lake for a few hundred meters, and found the ruins of Daxiangguo Temple very smoothly.

All that remained in the ruins was ruins and broken walls, overgrown with reeds and weeds.

"This ......" Shen Yu looked around, and couldn't help but be disappointed, "What can you find in this broken place?" Then the monk can't be deceiving us, right? ”

"Don't look at the ruins left," Fu Bin looked up, "This place is not small, isn't it?" ”

"Yes," Lao Duan said, "I heard my parents say that this Xiangguo Temple is a royal temple, and the scale is naturally not small. ”

"In that case," Xu Zhen said, "let's split up and look for it!" ”

So, the four of them dispersed and entered the ruins to search.

Who knows, this time the search was smoother, they had just separated, and they heard Shen Yu's shout from the grass: "Senior Brother Xu, come here!" Come on, I'...... I found it! ”
