Zhou Chi ordered the ten commanders of the imperial guard camp who had been kneeling for an hour to stand up, and only Xu Rong was kneeling on the ground.

Zhou Chi said: "Xu Rong, you explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly, remember the great military exploits that your Xu family has made in my Xurui Dynasty, and I will spare your family." ”

Xu Rong said: "I have a big secret, if I say it all, can the palace marshal be extrajudicial and spare my life?"

Zhou Chi said: "Tell me anything hidden." ”

Xu Rong said, "Your Excellency, can I talk to your lord alone?"

Zhou Chi left the fourth prince Zhou Huan and ordered the others to go out of the big tent.

Xu Rong said: "Lord Dianshuai! The Buddha relics you have brought with you these days are fake. ”

Zhou Chi slapped Xu Rong in the face and said, "You nonsense!"

Xu Rong wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and said, "Lord Palace, let me explain carefully." After the King of Xiang'e obtained the Buddha's relics, the King of Xiang'e blocked the news and ordered me to take care of all the people in the gold digging camp. I got the news from the commander of the Nuggets Camp and went home and told my mother. My mother has been fasting and reciting Buddha for many years and is a devout Buddhist. When she heard that the Buddha's true body relics had appeared, she was so excited that she shed tears all night, and the next day she was too seriously ill to be injured. I was terrified: if my mother had an accident because of this, my brother Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, would never forgive me. At this time, my mother said that if I saw the Buddha's relics with my own eyes, I would be cured, so I had to explain the matter to Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e. Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, blamed me for acting recklessly, saying that this was a top-secret event of the Xurui Dynasty. Then he personally took the Buddha's relics to his mother, and when his mother saw them, he would bring them to his room. For several days, my mother had to see the Buddha's relics, and Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, was personally escorted. It's also strange to say that since my mother saw the Buddha's relics, her heart has been cured as soon as her heart is gone, and what is even more puzzling is that her mother's blurred vision for many years has also been completely cured. One day at noon, Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, sent someone to call me to my mother's room. When my mother saw me, I asked Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, to go out for a while, saying that she wanted to talk to me about my family's private affairs. As soon as Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, went out, his mother cried and said: The Buddha cured my eye disease for many years with the help of relics, and then told me in a dream that he didn't want the relics to go to the dynasty to suffer the defilement of the laity, and wanted to return to the earth, so I must leave the relics. Look at your brother's position to protect the relics, I will not give up my old life and the Buddha's relics. I can only beg you, I look at the Buddha's relics every day, and it is very similar to the black pearl. I have already secretly measured the size of the relic, so you will spare no expense to find someone to get three black pearls according to it and replace the Buddha relic. I was so frightened that I knelt down and begged my mother to dispel this thought, and my mother fainted at once. I scolded myself for being really evil, why did I tell my mother about the Buddha's relics? When my mother woke up, I didn't dare to speak anymore. Then the mother said, "If you don't say this, I won't say it, who can know? No one has ever seen this true relic, and no one will doubt it." Even if someone finds out, I swear to the Buddha that I will never say that it is the Buddha relics that you helped me exchange, and your brother will still kill me? The next night, I got three black pearls and secretly gave them to my mother while my brother Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, was away. In this way, his mother swapped the relics when Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, was napping by his bedside, and the king of Xiang'e didn't see it. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Chi finally spoke: "So——, the true Buddha relics are now with your mother?"

Xu Rong said: "Yes. Your Excellency!"

"Okay, Xu Rong——, if you get the True Buddha relics back intact, I can save you from death. Zhou Chi said.

Xu Rong was overjoyed and said excitedly: "I will definitely be able to exchange the true Buddha relics back!"

Zhou Chi said: "Without further ado, we immediately set off to return to the Xiang'e Palace, this time only you and I and the fourth prince Zhou Huan and other nine people went together, and the army of the imperial guard camp and the Xiang'e Wang's guard temporarily stayed here. ”

Zhou Chi and his entourage of eleven people rode horses and whips and galloped on the official road leading to the Xiang'e Wangcheng.

They are hungry and thirsty, day and night.

Along the way, Zhou Chi learned about Xu Rong's theft of fake relics.

It turned out that after the exchange of relics, Xu Rong remembered that a few years ago, the Xurui Dynasty invited the abbot of the Huofa Temple in the capital city that was famous in the Buddhist world on the mainland. He was in charge of the Buddha's relics abroad, and Xu Rong was afraid that the fake relics would be recognized by Master Gaya after entering Beijing, so he thought of stealing the fake relics.

Xu Rong devised a perfect plan for this, which cleverly used two foreign monks in the royal city of Xiang'e to spread Buddhism.

These two foreign monks, one is called Mo Shi and the other is Mu Jianduo. Mo Shi was invited to the Xurui Dynasty to spread Buddhism together with Gaye, and has been spreading Buddhism in the western border areas of the Xurui Dynasty, and Mu Jianduo has only come from the Luo Dan Po Dynasty in the past two years.

The two monks went to the Xiang'e Wangcheng to investigate the Buddha's feelings, and they lived in the Jianzen Temple.

Once, there was a black-faced warrior who reached the small martial arts in the Jianzen Temple and a few strong men who came to incense together, the black-faced warrior raised his hand and beat a few strong men with blue noses and swollen faces, still refusing to forgive, the onlookers were three layers inside and three layers outside, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade them - those who wanted to step forward with force were timid when they saw the black military uniform on the black-faced warrior on behalf of Wuzun.

At this moment, a black-faced monk less than thirty came out of the crowd and stood in front of several strong men who had been beaten, this black-faced monk was several times darker than the black-faced samurai. The black-faced samurai was so big-shouldered and round-waisted that he could almost fit the short, thin black-faced monk into his body, and the onlookers began to worry that the black-faced monk would also be beaten.

The black-faced monk stepped forward and said to the black-faced warrior, "Can I accept your punishment in the place of these strong men?"

When the black-faced warrior saw the black-faced monk, he burst out laughing, and he squinted at the black-faced monk with a sideways face and said, "I always thought that I was the blackest person in the world, and you were the ancestor of the black man." Okay! For the sake of your love for being darker than me, I'll punch you three times, and if you can hold back, I'll let these people go. ”

The black-faced monk first stretched out his head to the black-faced warrior, and the black-faced warrior's hammer-like fist smashed on the black-faced monk's bald head, and the black-faced warrior only felt that his fist hit the stone, and he shook his arm in pain and retracted his fist; the black-faced monk showed his chest again, and the black-faced warrior's fist hit him again, and the black-faced warrior was shocked to take two steps back this time; the black-faced monk walked in front of the black-faced warrior and exposed his belly, and the black-faced warrior was so angry that he used all his strength and punched the black-faced monk's belly, this time he was shocked and kept retreating, and finally sat on the ground。

The black-faced warrior got up, frowned, and looked at the black-faced monk, who bowed his head and saluted him, and when the black-faced warrior saw the bald head, he turned around and ran.

This black-faced monk is Mu Jianduo, a monk of the Radanpo Dynasty who lived in the Zen Temple.

After Xu Rong heard about this, he entered the Zen Temple, and in the name of asking for Buddhism, he met the black-faced monk Mu Jianduo. As soon as they met, Xu Rong held Mu Jianduo's hands and secretly transported the internal force, Mu Jianduo subconsciously resisted with force, Xu Rong used ten percent of his strength, and he didn't pull Mu Jianduo.

Xu Rong hurriedly withdrew his strength and let go, and then he said his identity, and Mu Jianduo hurriedly folded his hands and saluted.

Xu Rong asked Mu Jian how much force Mo Shi had, because of Xu Rong's special identity, Mu Jianduo told Xu Rong that Mo Shi's force was far superior to him.

Only then did Xu Rong know that the two foreign monks who lived in the Jianzen Temple turned out to be masters of the world.

This time he wanted to steal the relics, Xu Rong remembered the two monks of the Jianchan Temple, because the five counties and twenty mansions under the jurisdiction of Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, could not find a force that could defeat the two monks, and it was possible for them to retreat from Zhou Chi's side together.

Xu Rong then ordered the most reliable person around him to pretend to be a Buddhist, go to the Zen Temple to tell Mo Shi and Mu Jianduo about the Buddha's relics, and lied that the Xurui Dynasty would use the Buddha's relics to conduct a large-scale tour to win people's hearts and expand military warfare, and finally asked them to steal the Buddha's relics so as not to be desecrated by the world.

Mo Shi and Mu Jianduo ostensibly refused the request of the fake Buddhists sent by Xu Rong, but in fact, secretly followed the clues provided by the fake Buddhists and followed the Zhou Chi team escorting the Buddha relics.

Xu Rong noticed the whereabouts of Mo Shi and Mu Jianduo, but Xu Rong hadn't discovered where Zhou Chi's relics were hidden, so he personally led the guards to stick to the barracks every night and didn't give them a chance to act. It wasn't until Xu Rong discovered the secret that Zhou Chi put the fake relics under his pillow every night when he went to bed, and he felt that he could let Mo Shi and Mu Jian do more.

The night when he arrived outside Yingyang City was the time when Zhou Chi himself and his army relaxed their vigilance the most, Xu Rong first put sleeping pills prepared in advance in the dozen barrels of wine sent by the Yingyang City Guard-which made the soldiers in the tent and the soldiers standing guard outside the tent fall asleep unconscious during the night operation, and then asked Zhou Chi for leave to go to Yingyang City for entertainment, so that the guards were not on vigil - creating an opportunity for Mo Shi and Mu Jianduo. Xu Rong entered the Cuihong Mansion in Yingyang City and applauded the two singers, and transferred the two singers to a fat businessman who also came to find the singers for free. After that, he put on a mask and lurked outside Zhou Chi's military camp, and after waiting for Mo Shi and Mu Jianduo to appear, he followed Mo Shi from afar. In the end, when Zhou Chi went out of the account to chase Mo Shi's outer treasure letter to return the relics, he entered the account and took the fake relics under Zhou Chi's pillow.

Xu Rong thought that he had stolen the fake relics, but Zhou Chi thought that he had lost the real relics, so that when the Xurui Dynasty tracked down the relics of the Buddha, it would no longer trace the heads of Xu Rong and Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e.

If it weren't for the birth of a Feng Rui in the middle, then Xu Rong would have perfectly performed a big drama that was fake and real.

Feng Rui, the son of Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, caught Xu Rong's unnatural eyes not long after he saw him, so Feng Rui began to pay attention to all of Xu Rong's actions. Xu Rong led the guards every night to take vigil actions like facing a great enemy, which aroused Feng Rui's suspicions. And on the day of Yingyang City, Xu Rong's guards stopped keeping vigil, and Xu Rong actually left the barracks. Feng Rui concluded that Xu Rong had a ghost in his heart, so he followed Xu Rong.
