Chapter 453: Hidden in Chi Guang
When Nanfeng handed the orb to the monk, Bai Junqian was slightly surprised, thinking to himself why he had to take out such a precious thing, wouldn't it be good if it only cost ten taels of silver?
I saw Nanfeng hand over the jewel with a wicked smile, how could the monk who guarded the door ever see such a treasure? A pair of eyes stared at the jewel, his eyes were round, he swallowed his saliva, let go of the broom in his hand, and snatched the jewel from Nanfeng's hand, and muttered: "Obedient, what is this......?"
"That's a big deal, of course, so we gave you this, and you're going to have to let the two of us go in and have a look, right?" said Nanfeng.
But the monk became more wary of the south wind because of this, and began to guess where they came from.
Seeing that the monk's expression was getting more and more wrong, Nanfeng was also about to say something more. Sure enough, after a while, the monk still didn't let them in, and then reluctantly handed back the orb in his hand.
"I'm afraid you're not here to buy people. The monk said slowly.
"Huh?" Bai Junqian and Nanfeng were a little puzzled, but they were driven away from here by the monk with a broom.
Time passed quickly, like a hooked crescent moon slowly climbed up the treetops, like a scimitar, quietly sliding and cutting the silent blood vessels, this Xia family, the sky above Songshan Temple, sparse and silent.
At this time, the late light hall has long been closed, the heavy palace door locks the endless secrets, the side of the main hall of the main door, in the side hall of the ear room, the little monk guarding the door has a pair of knocking on the wooden fish, the sound of the wooden fish of "dong dong dong" is like a sleepy hypnosis, the little monk gradually can't help sleeping, slowly lowered his head.
At the moment when he lowered his head, several figures slipped down silently from under the eaves above the ear room.
Like a slippery loach, the south wind climbed upside down under the eaves of the main hall at this time, leaping forward, and could get through the airy skylight of the door frame.
There is nothing special in the main hall, it is the main hall of the ordinary temple, there is a golden statue of the Bodhisattva, and the candle flame is swaying on both sides, but it is extinguished by the south wind.
He and Bai Junqian searched in Songshan Temple during the day, but they found nothing, but they were always rejected by the monks in the temple. So he and Bai Junqian, as well as Lingxi, discussed with others after entering the night, and finally came to Songshan Temple to look for it to see if they could find any clues.
Their target was the Chiguang Temple, where the largest number of people burned incense every day, and the incense was vigorous, and the man said that "smelled the smell of incense ash" was most likely here.
Lingxi followed behind Bai Junqian and Nanfeng, stood on tiptoe, and silently sneaked through the main hall. The hall was almost pitch black. Tonight the moon is lacking, the sky is dark, and the main hall is closed again, only the skylight on the top can pass through a few rays of skylight, so the hall is even more dim, almost impossible to see, only a few traces of pale white moonlight, from under the skylight.
It's just that you can't use the fire spirit rune to illuminate, and there are patrolling monks outside the hall, if you see it, it will be troublesome.
The three of them searched around the main hall, from the ground to the incense stand one by one, and carefully searched along the pillars and beams, but they found nothing. Even risking great disrespect to go around behind the statue, I didn't find anything suspicious.
"Strange...... Isn't it here?" Lingxi sat in front of the incense stand, wondering in his heart. She picked up an incense burner on the stage, brushed the ashes inside, and thought, "This smells good, but where is it?"
She put the censer back, but it was not flattened, and the edge of the censer was so narrow that the censer slipped off the stage.
Lingxi was slightly startled, stretched out his hand to fish, but only caught the lid of the incense burner, the stove fell to the ground, making a lot of noise, and the incense ash was scattered all over the ground.
Lingxi secretly complained bitterly, and immediately rose up, Bai Junqian and Nanfeng also reacted quickly, and also rose up, they were startled to hear the footsteps outside the door, and immediately flew to the beam above the main entrance of the main hall, hiding in it, observing the movement below.
The next moment, the door was slowly opened, and the little monk walked in with a candlestick in his hand, illuminating the dark hall suspiciously.
"Why was the light blown out again...... Is there anyone?"
The little monk walked inside, and sure enough, he found the fallen incense burner in the hall, he kicked it in a different way, leaned down, swept the incense ashes in his hand and threw it into the stove, and put the incense burner back on the incense table.
The little monk looked left and right at the hall, and said to himself, "Is it on it?"
Lingxi secretly screamed badly, thinking that if he saw them hiding on this, wouldn't it be time for the chickens and dogs to jump?
Seeing that the light of the candlestick gradually shone up, and other monks walked by at the door, they couldn't stun the monk at this time, otherwise it would be self-defeating.
The only way to do it now......
Seeing that the light of the candlestick gradually shone up, she had an idea, and quickly opened her mouth to learn a cat meow: "Meow." ”
The little monk's hand holding the candlestick really stopped, shook his head and smiled: "It turned out to be a cat, I really scared myself." Holding the candlestick, he walked out slowly.
Lingxi and the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they secretly felt funny in their hearts. Bai Junqian also looked at Lingxi, as if he was holding back a smile, his eyes were full of appreciation, and Lingxi was naturally a little ashamed, he actually learned to bark and escaped a catastrophe.
The little monk's candlestick gradually went downstream, and they lay on the beam, standing still, watching the light of the candlestick illuminate the two ends of the Buddha statue not far away, and the yellowish and faint light traveled from the mural, illuminating a vague shadow.
A bright spot with a golden light caught their attention, and the three of them looked intently to see that it was a pair of hands depicted on the mural.
The old man's hand.
The old man folded his hands, the back of his hands outward, his face smiling, elegant and polite, and his long-sleeved square scarf, was a literary saint of ancient times. This man was surrounded by a group of students, and the seventy-two disciples of this person at that time, the Buddha was before them, and this painting should be the communication between the literati and the Buddhists.
Lingxi watched the light go down from the celebrity's hand, and the golden point of light appeared at the end of the celebrity's finger, and she suddenly felt a little strange.
In the past, this celebrity, whether it was a portrait or a statue, was like a statue on an ethereal mountain, with the fingers of both hands together, and Confucius on this mural actually had the fingers of one hand separated from the other fingers and pointed upwards.
Lingxi looked carefully at the posture of the hand, her gaze moved to the face of the celebrity, the faint smile of the celebrity seemed to imply a different expression, her heart jumped, and she quickly followed the celebrity's finger to look up.
I saw that directly above the Buddha shrine, under the red roof, there were gorgeous gold flags, and at the end of the gold flags, there were a few bright gold beads.
The last candle flame faded from outside the door of the main hall, and the moment the door of the hall slowly closed, Lingxi carefully counted through the candle: "One, two, three......" When the count reached six, the door closed suddenly, and the little monk went out.
Lingxi's heart jumped up a little indiscriminately, and Bai Junqian, who saw Lingxi's nervous appearance, also walked in her direction.
