Chapter (64): The underground passage of Tennoji
It was this person who worked tirelessly to complete the Bangshan Sutra carving project here, and then handed over the mantra and diagram in the hidden treasure key to the trustworthy abbot of Tennoji Temple and the messenger in the Shinmon Gate, respectively. In the end, this enlightened monk became ill due to hard work, and the legendary generation of "scholar immortals" actually sat down in the valley behind the inscription here.
Because his identity is extremely secretive, and the secret of this huge treasure hidden behind the inscription, he remains unknown even after his death. At that time, it was the presiding officer of Tennoji Temple who accepted his trust and the ancestor of the laughing Maitreya who secretly buried this generation of strange people here, and the ancestor of the laughing Maitreya personally carved this life-size stone statue for him.
In addition, next to the life-size stone statue, there is also a stone tablet, on which the stone tablet uses extremely obscure words to record the life exploits of this strange man. As for the later small stone house, it was built by the descendants of the ancestors of Maitreya in order to protect it after seeing that the stone statue had been dilapidated after more than 1,000 years.
Just after the scar-faced grandmother finally got the trace of the enemy, she chose to dismantle and destroy this secret past in order to permanently seal this secret past, so that this story of her family will no longer be opened, which is also an eternal law of the people in the letter.
At the same time, she also felt that she was about to come to the end of her life, and she was already over 90 years old, and she had survived with fifteen years of revenge. Now, as long as she finds the enemy she has been looking for and figured out the ins and outs of all this, she will be at the last moment when she runs out of oil. In particular, she was very pleased to see that her grandson had lived up to her expectations and had practiced the ancestral supreme Buddhist bodhicitta method to a certain level. At that time, the old man secretly made a decision, and when everything was over, she would choose to automatically disperse herself and end her life without pain, drawing a perfect end to everything.
Just after she completely demolished and cleaned up the small stone house, she used her family's special secret symbols on the remaining stone tablet to leave an explanation for her grandson Xiao Maitreya who was sure to come. Then, overnight, taking advantage of the moonlight, he rushed to Tennoji Temple, sixty miles away, and immediately launched a comprehensive and covert investigation of this temple.
For the first three days of night, Scarface Grandma didn't find any trace of the four masked murderers who had fled, let alone the old abbot of Tennoji, and even the location of the secret room under the apse that the masked murderer confessed earlier. Just when the old man began to get a little restless, thinking that the masked murderer earlier had deliberately deceived him, and when he knew that he would never escape death, he deliberately made his efforts in vain.
On the night of the fourth day, Scarface was ready to do one last thorough investigation, and if there were still no clues, she was ready to give up the covert search here. Instead, he chose to directly meet the old presiding officer who is now practicing retreat in the back mountain of the temple, and asked to see if he could find some clues, because after all, this public case has a certain connection with the mantra in the hands of the former presiding officer of Tennoji Temple.
As long as she tells the presiding officer of Tennoji about this public case, they will definitely not stand idly by, even if they let it go, their Tennoji will definitely continue to investigate secretly, because this is a matter of Tennoji's reputation in the entire rivers and lakes. Although the current old host of Tiannoji does not have much profound Buddhist skills, Tiannoji Temple, as a thousand-year-old temple, has a very important identity in the rivers and lakes.
As long as they take the lead in issuing a Buddhist chase and kill order in the rivers and lakes, all Buddhist organizations in the world will collectively carry out a series of hunts, even the most secretive and powerful underworld organizations will be unable to escape their arrest and pursuit, and they will eventually be arrested and punished as they deserve. It's just that this scar-faced grandmother is not only obedient and stubborn, but also extremely conceited about her own learning, so she knows the great power of the Buddhist pursuit and killing order, but she has been reluctant to ask for help, she insists that she personally decides this public case with her own ways and means, so as not to damage the reputation of her faith. However, she recently felt that the end was approaching, and she didn't want her good grandson to fall into this troubled water again, so she had the idea of meeting the presiding officer of Tennoji in person.
Just when the scar-faced old woman was still hesitating, suddenly she saw a man in black jumping down and entering the temple on the east side of the temple wall not far from the apse. Then he dived down and looked around cautiously, and on the premise of making sure that no one had found it, he quickly moved towards the corner door of the apse, and finally disappeared into the corner door of the apse.
As soon as the scar-faced grandmother saw the fast-moving figure and figure of the man in black, she was so excited that she almost jumped out at once, it turned out that the man in black was one of the four masked murderers she was going to hunt down. The man in black, who looked very cautious, didn't notice at all, and after he cautiously entered the apse through the corner door, he followed the ghostly old lady with a scarred face all the way behind him.
As a small sleeping Buddha in one corner of the apse slowly moved, a deep secret passage appeared below, and the scar-faced old woman followed the unaware man in black and quietly entered the underground secret room. Although this underground secret room is located more than ten meters underground, it is also very spacious, not only has a bright central living room, but also has six or seven separate secret rooms around it.
After arriving in the central living room of the underground secret room, the scar-faced old woman finally patted the man in black who led the way, revealing her true identity. It's just that before the man in black could come over, he was hit by the scar-faced grandmother on the key point of the vest, but in order to interrogate him later, he didn't immediately hit a heavy hand and just let him pass out temporarily. Later, the scar-faced old woman found the remaining three masked murderers in the other secret rooms, but they were not as lucky as the man in black just now, and they were immediately hit with extremely heavy ground palms and began the heart-eating torture.
In addition, eight or nine other vicious-looking bandits were found in the secret room, and at first glance they were not good people, they should be the accomplices of these masked murderers. It's just that they all have one thing in common, except for their bald heads that disguise themselves as monks, that is, all of them have very white skin, as if they have lived in underground secret rooms or other underground places all year round. Moreover, in the secret room where they were hiding, some guns and machetes, daggers, drugs, Luoyang shovels and other instruments and drugs used in the crime were also found, and there was even a small box of powerful explosives XXX. In one of the secret rooms, there were still several boxes of antique relics that had been packaged and camouflaged, and there were some scattered cultural relics on the ground that had not had time to be packed into boxes.
Sure enough, just like the masked murderer in the Buddha Glory Valley that day, this is a tightly organized and deeply hidden criminal organization. It's a pity that they were caught off guard in the middle of the night today, when they were still dreaming of yellow sorghum, they met the scar-faced grandmother, the messenger of hell. Of course, this vicious scar-faced grandmother unceremoniously let them all explain here, and the province will waste taxpayers' energy and resources in vain in the future.
After cleaning up everyone in this underground secret room, the scar-faced old woman ignored the other murderers who had already rushed to Huangquan, and only carried the three masked murderers to the central living room one by one. Only then began the interrogation of the man in black, who had only passed out, and under her brutal and heart-wrenching torture, the man in black spat out everything he knew and confessed the hiding place of the mastermind leader.
It turned out that fifteen years ago, it was the current Tennoji temple presiding officer who instructed the six of them to go to the house of Laughing Maitreya, and their purpose was also the hidden treasure illustration of the Bangshan carved scriptures. At the same time, he confessed that the host who appeared was not the original old host, but their leader disguised himself. And the original old host was secretly killed by their leader and three underworld masters, including him, seventeen years ago. They have been relying on this thousand-year-old temple as a cover to secretly engage in some covert criminal activities.
According to him, this criminal organization is mainly engaged in the theft and smuggling of underground cultural relics, and according to his account, it has existed for at least 30 years, and has committed numerous serious crimes. And the bloody case of the laughing Maitreya family caused by the hidden treasure of the Bangshan inscription is just an insignificant unfinished business for them.
The identities of these people are also extraordinary, it turns out that they are all death row prisoners who have been arrested for crimes in the early years, or repeat offenders who have been wanted all along. And most of them aren't native to or near YZ City, but come from all over the country. They were all gathered together by their leader, who did not know how to make them escape the punishment they deserved. This powerful leader also forced them to take a strange drug, let them be driven by him unconditionally, and of course, let them enjoy everything to a certain extent, so they were unruly underworld masters who were willing to drive for him.
