Return to Central Plains 09
Hong Shan said angrily, "Brother Tong, you have never been to the White Horse Temple, so rashly visited, aren't you afraid of getting lost in a panic and being captured?"
Xie Tong knew that Shan'er cared about him, and he smiled and said, "As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger, how can Lao Tzu have to understand the situation of the White Horse Temple, otherwise the taste of looking at the treasure and sighing is really uncomfortable." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
He paused and continued, "After lunch in a while, let's go to the White Horse Temple to worship the Buddha. Take a look at the structure of the layout!"
Murong Longcheng couldn't help but smile, "Xie Daxia shouldn't be bribing the Buddha, please bless you to hunt for treasures safely!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed again.
Xie Tong sighed and said, "You guys, don't say anything, Lao Lai, we are also all the way, don't you get some good wine and good food to entertain us?"
Lao Lai smiled awkwardly and said, "Lao Tzu forgot about this, don't worry, the wine and food will be ready soon!"
Xie Tong ate and drank enough, and slept beautifully, before Shi Shiran went to the White Horse Temple.
Shi Jingjiao had nothing to do and also accompanied him to the White Horse Temple.
During the time Xie Tong stayed in Luoyang, he had been busy studying and training in the military camp, and he didn't wander around much, and today was the first time he came to the White Horse Temple, the supreme holy place of legendary Middle-earth Buddhism.
The White Horse Temple is very large, so big that Xie Tong is difficult to see the end of this temple group at a glance, the temple is surrounded by a vermilion courtyard wall, and there are one big hall after another standing inside, Xie Tong does not understand Buddhism, but sees the same pattern of the Buddha hall built at will according to the law that he does not understand, the top of the hall is inlaid with golden glazed tiles, under the illumination of the sun, it appears to be full of golden light, giving people a feeling of blessing and light.
The door of the White Horse Temple is more crowded with people, the laymen who burn incense and worship the Buddha every day are endless, Xie Tong walked to the door, and entered the White Horse Temple with the flow of people.
After being admitted to the hospital, walking dozens of steps, there is a large hall, and a huge incense burner more than four feet wide is placed at the entrance of the store, but there is not a single incense burnt in the incense burner, there is only thick and thick incense ash.
Shi Jingjiao saw Xie Tong in a daze at the incense burner, so he pulled his sleeve and said with a smile, "What is Brother Xie looking at, enter the temple to worship the Buddha!"
Xie Tong shook his head and said, "It's better for you to go by yourself! Lao Tzu believes in the Tao or not, and this Buddha doesn't worship it!"
Shi Jingjiao thought about it, Zhang Jiao, the founder of the Huangtian Sect, was a Taoist disciple, and this Xie Tong should believe in Taoism. He didn't insist and went straight into the main hall.
Xie Tong walked around the courtyard by himself, observing the position and angle of each hall, and to his disappointment, every place here was strikingly similar, the difference was that the height was different, and even the flowers and plants in the courtyard were extremely monotonous.
However, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, the location of these halls seemed to be built at random, but in fact it implied the magic of the formation, Xie Tong couldn't help but complain to himself, when he was learning art with his master, he was not interested in this kind of thing, and he didn't even know the most basic techniques and formations he learned, otherwise he would definitely be able to deduce some clues from the location of this house.
There is a saying in Buddhism that the location and placement of the temple are not random, but to suppress and seal an evil force, Xie Tong couldn't help but smile, could it be that this White Horse Temple is a treasure to suppress Cao Gong?
Suddenly, the sound of the monks reciting the Dharma in unison came from the temple, and there was an echo in the courtyard, Xie Tong carefully estimated that there were at least a few hundred people reciting. The sound of the Dharma became louder and louder, until it contained this world, and Xie Tong could not hear any other voices.
When the Dharma entered his ears, Xie Tong only felt a dizziness in his mind, and then became clear, as if the Dharma was directly read into his heart, and what was even more wonderful was that Xie Tong couldn't raise a trace of desire, whether it was treasure, hatred or love, it became meaningless, he was not interested in these things in his heart, and he didn't even want to think or remember these things, he just wanted to sit down quietly and listen to the beautiful sound contained in the Dharma.
Xie Tong was stunned for a moment, knowing that it was the profound philosophy of Buddhism that deeply affected him, making him have the illusion of escaping into the empty door. He was busy transporting the spiritual power of Huangtian Dafa and dispelling the Buddha sound in his mind, and suddenly, he saw Cao Gong's treasure, and the mountains of treasures were beckoning to him, and the treasures stood Meng Kai, Lu Li, as well as Song Wenyuan, Sima Xuan and other people, who were holding jewels and looking at him with evil faces.
Without hesitation, Xie Tong pulled out his green steel sword and slashed at these enemies.
"Amitabha", a loud Buddha horn sounded in Xie Tong's heart.
Xie Tong's body trembled, and the scene in front of him disappeared, replaced by an old monk who was more than half a hundred years old and dressed in a robe.
Xie Tong realized that this was actually an illusion, his back was already soaked with cold sweat, and it was this Buddha horn that brought him back to reality from the illusory world.
Xie Tong couldn't help but wonder, is there only killing, hatred, and greed on the opposite side of Buddhism?
The old monk looked at Xie Tong with a smile and said in a low voice, "The sea of suffering is endless, turning back is the shore, since the donor has integrated into the broad embrace of Buddhism, why did he choose to fall into the darkness of the world!"
Xie Tong was shocked, this old monk was so powerful, he was able to peek through his state of mind, this kind of spiritual skill attainment was really second to none, and it was terrifying.
From this point of view, this old monk is very unusual.
Xie Tong didn't want him to check his state of mind, after all, he was a person who couldn't see the light, if his identity was revealed, not only would the dream of the treasure have to be abandoned, but he must also run away immediately, and once he gave up the treasure, the great cause of his master, the great dream of the revival of the Daomen, and the immortal task of expelling the Shi clan will all come to naught.
He collected his attention and said with a smile, "What the master said is so reasonable, but it's a pity that I am an ordinary man and can't understand the true meaning of it, ha, I don't know what the master says!"
The old monk did not answer Xie Tong's question, but continued, "The donor's words are wrong, the Buddha has clouds, everything is empty, the so-called emperor's great cause, gold and silver wealth, and beauty like jade are just things outside the body, the donor can hear the true meaning of Buddhism from the recitation of the monks, when there is a fate with the Buddha, why can't you give up everything and take refuge in my Buddha!"
Xie Tong didn't want to entangle with this old monk, Su asked the White Horse Temple to have a close relationship with the ruler of the dynasty, he didn't want to fall into passivity in this matter, and said busily, "The master said far away, I am just a pilgrim, my family has a beautiful family, I am willing to live a life without contention with the world, and I have no resentment or hatred, wouldn't it be untargeted to give up."
The old monk continued, "No, the old man feels the fear and resentment in the donor's heart!"
Xie Tong said angrily, "The master should go to Pudu the wicked people of the world, such as Huang Chao and Meng Kai, and it can be regarded as for the benefit of the people of the world, why bother me as an ordinary person, isn't this a big fuss." ”
The old monk showed a helpless wry smile and said, "Wicked people are big or small, in the eyes of the Buddha, people with resentment are the objects of Pudu."
Xie Tong was speechless, he just wanted to leave here immediately.
At this moment, Shi Jingjiao came out of nowhere, and said, "Why did you come here, it made me easy to find, how can you discuss with the master about being born and entering the world?"
Xie Tong smiled bitterly, pouted, and didn't make a sound.
The old monk saw Shi Jingjiao and said, "This donor is also entangled in mundane things, and should also go to the Buddha to purify, if the two are not suspicious, the old monk is willing to accept the two as registered disciples to study Buddhism together." ”
Shi Jingjiao saw that the old monk broke his state of mind, and immediately became interested, and said, "The master's Buddhist attainments are quite profound, and the younger generations admire them, but I don't know how the master views the affairs of the world!"
Xie Tong hurriedly interrupted him and said, "We still have important matters, so don't disturb Master Qingxiu, and come back to visit another day." ”
After that, he pulled Shi Jingjiao and left immediately.
The road out of the White Horse Temple seemed to be very long, Xie Tong always felt that the old monk's sharp gaze swept behind him, until he turned out, which feeling disappeared, Xie Tong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Shi Jingjiao smiled and said, "Why is Brother Xie so nervous, is that old monk magical?"
Xie Tong said, "Jing Jiao doesn't know, this old monk seems to really have magic power, the Buddha can see through my state of mind, previously in the White Horse Temple, the monks recited the Dharma, so that I have a spiritual hallucination, and this old monk is in my hallucination when I entered the hallucination, with the Buddha number to wake me up, and pointed out my desire and hatred, you say not powerful." ”
Shi Jingjiao was surprised, "There is such a thing, so it seems that this old monk is really not ordinary, maybe he is one of the four great Vajras of Buddhism?"
Xie Tong nodded and said, "Very likely"
Shi Jingjiao asked, "Brother Xie has been wandering around for so long, has he gained anything?"
Xie Tong shook his head and said, "It can be said that there is no gain, but I have also seen some clues, let's go back and talk about it."
The two returned to their secret house in Luoyang.
Xie Tong expressed his doubts in public.
Everyone didn't know anything about the formation, not to mention the layout of the formation on the building, and they had no clue.
Hong Shan asked, "Brother Tong, when you were in Longquan before, you said that you saw the traces of the temple in the whispering of the sword, and today you went to the White Horse Temple, are the two the same?"
Xie Tong smiled bitterly, "The two are very similar, but there are some differences, but I can't tell where the difference is!"
Lao Lai said: "It shouldn't be the renovation and reconstruction of the White Horse Temple!"
Hong Shan continued, "As far as I know, during the reign of the Holy Spirit Emperor, the capital was moved to Luoyang, and at that time, the whole city was renovated, and the White Horse Temple seemed to have expanded in size!"
Lao Lai said: "Could it be that the treasure has been dug up at that time!"
Shi Jingjiao said, "No, there are sacred objects of the grassland in the treasure, colorful exquisite stones, if this stone is seen again, the rulers of the dynasty are bound to make a big fuss about this stone, and the tribes of the grassland must submit to the feet of the empire, I dare to assert that the treasure has not yet been discovered." ”
Nightingale also chimed in, "The little khan is right."
Hong Shan said, "In this case, the goal of our treasure hunt seems to be much narrower, as long as we find out that those buildings are the original, we can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Murong Longcheng said, "I'm afraid this is difficult, after all, it was hundreds of years ago, who can know!
Hong Shan stepped forward and said with a smile, "This is easy, the Tang Empire has records for the renovation of religious temples, and all the relevant archives are hidden in the Political Division, as long as you look through the archives, you can know."
Shi Jingjiao said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy to go to the Political Secretary to check the archives! We are now special people, and we are all people who can't see the light, how can we get in touch with the people of the Political Secretary? If we are not careful, we will leak our goals, and I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses."
Everyone's eyes were all on Xie Tong, and the meaning was already very clear, except for him, there was no more suitable candidate.
Xie Tong looked crazy, and said, "Okay, leave this matter to me! However, I have to think about it before I can do it, and now that Luoyang is under the jurisdiction of Sima Xiangru, if you want to contact the political secretary, you must first contact him." ”
Hong Shan said, "I think the little khan is more suitable, firstly, Sima Xiangru has not much contact with you and does not understand you, and secondly, the little khan is witty and intelligent, can calmly adapt, and will not show his feet." ”
Without waiting for Xie Tong to decide, Shi Jingjiao said, "I also think it is more appropriate for me to go to this matter, so let's decide! I am looking for an opportunity to contact him, I have heard about this person for a long time, and I will meet him this time."
Xie Tong said, "Sima Xiangru is arrogant by nature, there is no one in his eyes, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter his eyes, Jing Jiao should go to see him with a very high attitude." ”
Shi Jingjiao said, "This is easy, the younger brother is good at the Book of Changes, proficient in the way of metaphysics, since Sima Xiangru is ambitious, of course he has to find the younger brother to count a few hexagrams."
Xie Tongxi said, "It's so good, if you are not safe alone, how about Brother Murong escorting you!"
Murong Longcheng nodded and said, "I will be the follower of the little khan."
Cai Wei, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "The little woman is willing to be a maid for the little khan and serve the little khan~!",
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, everyone knew that Shang Caiwei had a bad impression of Shi Jingjiao, why did she run to be a maid for him, did she change sex?
Xie Tong's face changed slightly, he knew what Shang Caiwei was thinking, she had a treasure hunt with the Sima family, but he was afraid that he would use this reason to assassinate Sima Xiangru.
Xie Tong hurriedly said, "Sister Shang is willing to go, I have no opinion, but I hope that the eldest sister will focus on the overall situation and don't do something unwise!"
Shang Caiwei saw that Xie Tong saw through her plan, her face changed, and she immediately became displeased.
Xie Tong hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't keep it for the eldest sister, it's just that the time has not come, if the younger brother can dig up the treasure, he will definitely be the first to avenge the eldest sister."
Shang Caiwei turned from worry to joy.
Lao Lai said, "There is another important matter, the three of you must find another residence, so as not to provoke the enemy."
Shi Jingjiao smiled and said, "This is natural, the younger brother will also find a spacious and bright yard, and it will be more comfortable!"
Everyone knows that he is of noble birth, is used to living a comfortable life, and has the habit of buying a house everywhere he goes, so they don't pay attention to him.
The plan has been decided, and Murong Longcheng Zhang Luo has dinner.
Xie Tong suddenly said, "I plan to go to the White Horse Temple tonight, if I find it, Jing Jiao can avoid being with Sima Xiangru." (To be continued.) )
