The Buddha Sri in Xiao Ming's mouth is actually called by the Tang Dynasty: the place where the Sri Buddha died, that is from before the Tang Dynasty in Sumatra flourished a large Buddhist country, but also a maritime power, after the Song Dynasty, here is called in the historical books: Three Buddhas! They control almost the entire Malay Peninsula and even the Indonesian archipelago.

It was a kind of scattered kingdom dominated by small vassal states, and during the Song Dynasty, the great invasion of the Chola kingdom from South India made Sri Buddha's power much less powerful than before, and with the rise of the new Koshari kingdom in East Java, especially the Macha Pacher, the original vassal states also became fragmented.

The great monk of Yilu or Master Yilu, it is rumored to be a disciple of the Tang Dynasty monk Yijing, the Chinese Tang Dynasty monk Yijing once took the sea road to India to study Buddhism, where he studied Sanskrit and Buddhist theory, and after returning from India, he continued to stay here to engage in translation and writing for many years, and Sri Buddha died at that time the most important place for the spread of Mahayana Buddhism in India.

Anyway, Xiao Ming just knew this, it was Ding Jianpeng who told him, if Yijing is the master of Yilu, then either Yijing is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, or Yilu is a monster! But in any case, the monk who followed the law also went to Sri Buddha and studied Buddhism there for many years.

Xiao Ming's sources of information are very mixed, and such information comes from all kinds of mouths that ask for money and don't want money, but Master Yilu hid in the Yuanyin Temple in Guangzhou to translate Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures, and this news did not seem to disappoint him, at least he was confirmed from the mouth of the abbot of Miaokong.

Soon the abbot of Miaokong came back and said to Xiao Ming: "Donor! Brother Righteous Lawyer, please! ”

Xiao Ming then followed Miaokong and the various buildings of Yuanyin Temple to the back, it was indeed a very quiet meditation room, Xiao Ming also saw this old monk of righteousness hiding behind a large number of Buddhist scriptures, the whole meditation room was filled with a large number of piled books and the unique smell of dust and mildew, and there was some faint smell of ink.

Miaokong let Xiao Ming into the room and bowed to Yilu, and then retreated without a sound, Xiao Ming then looked at the thin old monk in front of him with his hands behind his back, Yilu was wearing a simple monk's robe with his plush head, he was covered in ink, in fact, just looking at his head, he should know that this person who has been buried in the pile of old papers all the year round is very sloppy, but he has a pair of bright eyes, which is the only thing that is different from this meditation room.

"The donor is actually interested in the Srivijayaya?" The old monk asked.

"I'm only interested in the Buddhist scriptures there!" Xiao Ming replied.

"The donor turned out to be a layman!"

"I'm just a merchant, and I'm a bookseller, and I print all the Buddhist scriptures I can see!"

"Oh? Can you elaborate on the Buddhist scriptures? "Master Righteous Law is inevitably curious!

……

Gu Xiaoliu and Guo Shouxin were standing outside the meditation room, muttering, "When did you say that our Hou Ye understood so many Buddhist scriptures?" ”

Guo Shouxin shook his head, then nodded again and said, "Master Hou knows a lot, and if you can't make that old monk inferior to him!" ”

Then the door of the meditation room opened, but Yilu and Xiao Ming did not come out, the old monk was just calling a little Shami, after a while, the little monk ran over, he did not seem to be Chinese, because that kind of black and thin, that is the disciple that Yilu accepted when the Three Buddhas translated the scriptures, mainly around him to take care of his living and eating.

Xiao Ming waited, he had a good conversation with Yilu, he succeeded in convincing the old monk that he was a bookseller who had made a wish to publish all the Buddhist scriptures, and he also succeeded in convincing Yilu to give him the very delicate chart.

"Tocha! The luggage room has been cleaning you all along, and now you're leading us to where to find that chart! Righteous law instructed the little novice, and "Tocha! That's his name.

But after hearing Yilu's words, Tuocha's face suddenly changed greatly, and his expression became panicked, and he said, "The chart that the master asked for has been lost!" No...... It's gone! ”

"What's going on?" Yilu asked solemnly.

Tuocha stammered, "The luggage room was stolen a few days ago,...... That chart was also stolen, along with ...... And ......" He didn't seem to dare to say any more, and his eyes looked up at Yilu's expression from below, which only meant that there must be a ghost in the heart of this thin monk.

Yilu was a little nervous and trembled: "Take me to see!" So he didn't care about Xiao Ming and the others, he rushed back like a burning butt, of course Tuocha followed closely, and Xiao Ming also followed behind Gu Xiaoliu and Guo Shouxin.

The whole luggage room does not seem to be very dirty, but it is a little exotic, which comes from some miscellaneous things of those inexplicable Buddhism, such as tin rods, incense burners, Buddhist beads, scrolls, etc., when fortunately, it is still in order, and the righteous law is rummaging inside, and the sweaty ones are a little angry!

In the end, he spread his hands and said a little desperately: "It's over!" No ......! ”

Xiao Ming said curiously: "What is the master missing?" ”

"The bronze tin plate of the Mokomaya Heart Sutra is the national treasure of the Three Buddhas! No more! "Yilu's expression is ugly, and the thing he said is obviously extremely important to him!"

Xiao Ming asked, "Have the charts been stolen too?" ”

Yilu felt heartache, he said: "The chart is nothing, I know the routes and islands I have traveled, but the bronze tin plate of the Mokomaya Heart Sutra is different, when the abbot of Mengtuo Temple handed it to me, he hoped that I could carry it forward in the printing and publishing of Middle-earth!" ”

Xiao Ming nodded, glanced obliquely at the Tuocha monk standing aside, and said, "The master must still have rubbing, but the translation has not been completed, right?" If you print it like that, you should be able to do it! ”

"But that's a rare Buddha treasure!" Yilu is still heartbroken.

Xiao Ming said: "Your back hall is relatively secret, and collecting such a Buddha treasure must also be a secret thing, if the thief knows the place, he will definitely rummage through this place very chaotically, and in this case, it will definitely be discovered by you, so there is only one possibility for this matter, and that is ......!" He looked at the little monk and continued, "There is a thief by your side!" ”

Yilu also looked at Tuocha fiercely, that guy was already in anxiety, and now he raised his head suddenly, screamed, and ran away, but he was still late, he hit Guo Shouxin's outstretched arm as if he had hit a wall, because his throat was hit hard, this guy fell to the ground with a red face.

Xiao Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now the inner ghost has been caught!" ”

He looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, a little unable to believe his eyes, things happened too fast, maybe he didn't react yet, Guo Shouxin had already picked up that Tuocha from the ground, that guy was now shaking like chaff, and when he met Yilu's eyes, there seemed to be a trace of shame!

The interrogation of Tocha went well, he was a Malay, but he claimed to be a Magar, a young man who had been picked up by Yilu on the street and was dying of hunger, and he followed Yilu and became a monk and took care of Yilu's daily life until one day he met a pilgrim.

The pilgrim kept promising him benefits and promises to him, but he was simply good to him but didn't ask him to do anything, but this was just a way to buy, he betrayed the law of righteousness and did what others asked for the pilgrim, Tuocha's words were vague, and there seemed to be a lot of helplessness, but Xiao Ming knew that he must have been caught by someone with shortcomings, so that he had to be at the mercy of others.

Sure enough, when asking about the whereabouts of the pilgrim, Tuocha refused to confess, and his attitude was also very helpless, so the questioning of Tuocha was terminated by Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming said to Yilu that if he wanted to recover the Buddha treasure, he would hand over this matter to him, and first temporarily detain Tuocha.

Yilu agreed, he personally went to find the abbot of Miaokong, saying that Xiao Ming wanted to discuss Buddhism with him, and would stay overnight, of course Miaokong had no opinion, for such a big benefactor, of course, it was necessary to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, so he sent someone to clean the two meditation rooms and place Xiao Ming and his entourage.

In the middle of the night, as Xiao Ming expected, Tuocha secretly escaped when the guard Gu Xiaoliu pretended to be asleep, and Xiao Ming heard the report in Yilu's meditation room, and said to Yilu: "It seems that he is really going to find the pilgrim behind the scenes, leave this matter to me, and I may see it the day after tomorrow!" ”

So Xiao Ming said goodbye to Yilu, and did not alarm the others in Yuanyin Temple, and took Gu Xiaoliu along the mark left by Guo Shouxin, who followed Tuocha, and chased him all the way, and after coming down from the mountain, it seemed that Tuocha was heading all the way to Xiangyi City at the mouth of the Pearl River, which was a city built by Guangzhou City at the mouth of the Pearl River relying on the Pearl River Wharf.

The two chased them all the way to the city, which is still brightly lit because it is the wharf, and all kinds of vendors have not closed, and in fact, the markets here are basically open all night, and even the fireworks and moon fields here are even more prosperous, and Guo Shouxin's mark has always led here.

The mark is always pointing to the back alley of the fireworks restaurant, of course Xiao Ming doesn't know that this is actually the place where these green buildings are staying, when he and Gu Xiaoliu touched here, they almost got lost, because the buildings here seem to be very tall, but the alleys extend in all directions.

Now they stopped under a big tree in the alley, and the mark stopped here, and when the two were looking for another mark, they suddenly heard a small whistle on the tree and didn't look up, Guo Shouxin was cating on the tree, Guo Shouxin beckoned, and Xiao Ming and the two climbed to the top of the tree.

Guo Shouxin pointed to a blue-tiled corridor house, indicating that it was the place where Tuo Cha entered, and he could only see the lights on the upper floor behind the wall on the tree, it was not difficult to jump from the tree to the wall, it was rare that it would be difficult not to make a sound, Xiao Ming motioned to Guo Gu and the two to wait on the tree, but he unfolded his body and gently climbed the wall.

Xiao Ming hadn't done such a thing for a long time, and the last time he went to the room was when he first met Song Huizong when he was in Bianjing, but his body didn't regress at all, and his figure quietly fell on the roof tiles on the edge of the building, and he didn't make a sound, and Gu Xiaoliu and Guo Shouxin who were watching outside were speechless.

Xiao Ming looked inward from various angles on the upper floor, but he didn't find half a figure, so he climbed up to the top three floors and looked in through the paper hole in the window, but what he found was a rather messy scene after the banquet! There was not a single ghost in the house.

In the midst of doubt, suddenly there was a muffled scream of a dying person in the courtyard, which seemed to be the sound of a person who had been killed after covering his mouth, and then there was a noise downstairs, and the door of another room was opened, and then someone came out with a lantern from inside, and walked quite hurriedly.

Xiao Ming thought that his whereabouts had been discovered, so he disappeared into the darkness, but those people did not go upstairs to look for traces of outsiders, but brought the courtyard gate at the back, and several mermaids rushed out, Xiao Ming secretly shouted: "It's not good......!" ”
