Dafeng's Night Squad

140 Chapter 125-secret (1)

sigh, it seems like this trip is destined to be a fruitless one. Xu Qi ‘an finally drank his first sip of tea since he entered the temple. He sighed and said, ”

“Master, do you know about the Sang Bo case that has been spreading like wildfire in the capital recently?”

Master hengqing didn’t say anything.

Xu Qi ‘an used his eyes to signal to his colleagues to calm down and continued,”The chief of my case was appointed by His Majesty. It’s not because I’m in the emperor’s heart and appreciated by His Majesty ...”

Xu Qi ‘an let out a long sigh.

Master Heng Qing couldn’t help but look at him.

“It just so happens that this matter has been in my heart for a long time. Since I’m in the temple, I’ll have a good talk with Grandmaster.” Xu Qi ‘an said after a moment, ”

“A few days ago, I was ordered to raid the house of a criminal official. His Majesty was merciful and did not have any family members in the manor. However, when they raided the house, a few of his colleagues saw that the women in the house were beautiful and had evil intentions, wanting to rape them ... One of the girls was only twelve or thirteen years old.

“I couldn’t stand it, so I immediately stopped them. I had a conflict with my superiors and almost killed them. I was sentenced to be cut at the waist. Therefore, His Majesty handed the Sang Bo case over to me to atone for my crimes and make contributions.

my good friend said that I was too impulsive and that the right thing to do was to bear with it for now and report it to the Yamen after the matter was over. However, that way, the girl would have already been killed ...

Xu Qi ‘an’s expression was pained and conflicted. it’s said that the Dharma is boundless and can save all living beings. Master, may I ask if what I’ve done is right or wrong? ”

Lu Qing was shocked. He did not expect such a thing to be behind Xu Qi ‘an’s death sentence.

He was indeed different from other men ... The female Constable’s eyes were filled with gentleness.

Master hengqing was slightly moved. He didn’t expect this Lackey of the Imperial court to be such a hot-blooded person. He chanted the name of Buddha and said, ”

“Almsgiver, as long as you have a clear conscience, you will not be affected by karma.”

“The master also thinks that I’ve done wrong.” Xu Qi ‘an said indifferently.

Hengqing hesitated for a moment. benefactor, you are kind. You saved people with mercy. What’s wrong with that? ”

“But why did the Imperial court sentence me to death?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

“The world is like a sea of suffering. Being in it means that you can’t help yourself. Many times, kindness doesn’t necessarily lead to good results. However, although it would be late, it would not be absent. The Sang Bo case is a matter of fate, and it’s also benefactor’s turning point.”

“Master, I understand!” Xu Qi ‘an suddenly understood. He turned to the crowd and said, ”

“Everyone heard it. Master Heng Qing said that Da Feng is a sea of suffering, and the Sang Bo case is the retribution of the royal family. What are you waiting for? arrest him!”

Clang clang clang ... Everyone immediately stood up, and the sound of drawing their sabers echoed throughout the quiet room.

......

The meditation room.

The abbot of Azure Dragon Temple, master tree, was 62 years old. His bald head was not as shiny as when he was young, and his white beard had grown to his chest.

As a fifth-grade law, he had been stuck in this realm for more than 20 years.

The Buddhist system focused on enlightenment. Some eminent monks meditated for decades and could not make any further progress until they passed away.

Some monks, however, were like a spring breeze that suddenly came through the night. They instantly understood the unity of all laws and directly skipped decades of bitter cultivation.

Master coiling tree could be the former or the latter. Before enlightenment, no one could be sure if they could be enlightened.

This was Schr?dinger’s enlightenment, the quantum Buddhism.

“Abbot, Abbot ...” A Deacon came to the courtyard and shouted anxiously, ” a group of night watchmen came to the temple and tied up hengqing prison. They said that he slandered the court and disdained the royal family. They want to put him in prison.

Abbot coiling tree opened his eyes and said in a gentle voice, “”I know.”

The door of the quiet room opened automatically, and the abbot disappeared from the room.

....

The night watchman escorted the Heng Qing prison out of the temple. Along the way, more and more monks gathered, their eyes full of hostility, forming a faint encirclement. As long as someone stepped out, they would immediately surround this group of dogs of the Imperial court.

However, the watchman’s despotic power was too strong. If they surrounded this group of small people, maybe a big group would come tomorrow and raze the Azure Dragon Temple to the ground.

Thus, no one dared to act rashly.

“Master, don’t be afraid. Once you’re at the Yamen, as long as you cooperate with us, we’ll let you come back soon,” Xu Qi ‘an comforted.

In master hengqing’s eyes, Xu Qi ‘an’s smile was like the smile of a devil. It didn’t have any comforting effect at all.

“Amitabha!”

A Grand and benevolent voice sounded, subconsciously calming the hostility and anger of the monks.

Xu Qi ‘an saw an old monk in a red and yellow Kasaya appear out of thin air 30 feet in front of them, blocking the way of the night watchmen.

“This poor monk is coiling tree.”

“Abbot coiling tree!” Xu Qi ‘an put his hands together and bowed back. “I have something to ask you, Abbot.”

“Follow this poor monk.” The abbot sighed.

He returned to the quiet room. This time, except for Xu Qi ‘an, the other night watchmen, including the three silver gongs, were blocked outside.

Xu Qi ‘an’s attitude towards a level five master was a lot more serious. A level five law master corresponded to the level five force-converting realm of the martial arts system.

This was an expert who had surpassed the bronze skin and iron bone realm.

“Great Abbot, I was ordered by the Emperor to investigate the Sang Bo case, and I occasionally found a Baihu of the Golden guards who could hide from the astrologers. After asking around, you found out that Azure Dragon Temple has a similar spiritual artifact?” Xu Qi ‘an reminded him, ”

“This case is of great importance. For the sake of the Azure Dragon Temple, the abbot must tell the truth. I’m not threatening Grandmaster, I hope you can understand.”

“This temple does have a magic artifact that can conceal one’s breath and hide one from any spying technique.” Abbot coiling tree’s tone was gentle.

“This item is still in the temple?”

“No!” The abbot shook his head.

...

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t say anything, waiting for an explanation.

Abbot coiling tree paused for a few seconds and sighed. “The reason hengqing deceived Daren is because this matter is related to a scandal of the temple. If word of this gets out, it might bring great trouble to this temple.”

“I have a disciple named Heng Hui. He is talented and intelligent. I had high hopes for him, but he was not pure and had an affair with a female devotee. They stole the magic tool and eloped with each other, escaping the capital.”

Xu Qi ‘an narrowed his eyes and examined the abbot. He asked casually, “”What about the identity of the female devotee?”

Abbot coiling tree put his hands together and chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice. He replied helplessly, “”Princess Ping Yang.”

“!!!”

Xu Qi ‘an felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

In the great Feng dynasty, there were a few types of women who were addressed as princesses:The emperor’s concubine’s daughter, the crown prince’s daughter, and the princess’s daughter.

Strictly speaking, other than the eldest Princess, the other three princesses were born of concubines. However, Emperor yuanjing only had four daughters in his life. The rarer something was, the more precious it would be. Each Princess had a title, so when he called them, there was no ” Jun ” in front.

Although the current crown Prince had a daughter, she was still young and could not be involved in a matter like elopement.

Therefore, Xu Qi ‘an deduced that this Princess Ping Yang was a Princess of the royal family.

...

The case was getting more and more complicated. What role did the monk who had eloped with the princess play in this case? “When did this happen?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

more than a year ago. Abbot coiling tree replied.

“Thank you for answering my questions, master. I still have one more thing to ask.”

“Almsgiver, please speak.”

“The Azure Dragon Temple is the inheritance of the pagoda temple built by the monk in the Western Region, right?”

Abbot coiling tree remained silent, tacitly agreeing.

“After the Yongzhen mountain river temple was blown up, I found a large formation at the bottom of the lake, and the formation was engraved with Buddhist text. The great formation was set up 500 years ago, and the pagoda temple also appeared 500 years ago. What’s more interesting is that Emperor Wu Zong also ...” Xu Qi ‘an stared at the abbot.

“Does the Buddhist sect in the Western Region have any records of that incident?”

After saying that, Xu Qi ‘an saw that the monk’s expression was extremely ugly, and he had lost the calmness of an eminent monk.

“My Lord, I only have one question ...” Abbot coiling tree stared at him with a burning gaze. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t dare to. After mulling it over for a long time, he said, ”

“The thing under the Mulberry Lake, really ... He escaped?”

“It’s absolutely true!” Xu Qi ‘an gave an affirmative answer.

Abbot coiling tree seemed to have suffered a great blow. The fear in his eyes could not be quelled. His hands trembled slightly as he put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha to hide his loss of control.

This reaction ... Xu Qi ‘an was a little surprised. The old monk’s reaction was a little over the top. He asked directly, “”Is the one sealed under the Mulberry Lake the first supervisor?”

The old monk did not notice it at all. He only lowered his head and chanted the name of Buddha, his white eyebrows trembling.

After a long, long time, Abbot coiling tree’s emotions slowly calmed down. “I don’t know what’s sealed under the Sang Bo. However, there was a saying that had been passed down since the pagoda temple:The world was in chaos when the demons of sangpo appeared.

“Back then, the pagoda temple was built to guard the seal of the Sang po temple. Later, the Imperial court was afraid of the prosperity of Buddhism and exterminated Buddhism. The eminent monks of Buddhism retreated to the Western Region one after another, leaving only the branch of Azure Dragon Temple.

before we left, the eminent monks repeatedly urged us to pay close attention to the movements of sang Bo and to report immediately if there was anything unusual.

From the sound of it, why did it seem like the Buddhist sect cared more about the seal of the Sang po than the imperial family of Da Feng?

the first generation supervisor was rank one. The world was in chaos and that was not an exaggeration. After all, rank one was the peak of the world.

“This is all I know. What else do you want to ask, my Lord?”

“There’s no more.”

Abbot coiling tree nodded, and his body suddenly disappeared, as if it had been forcibly edited out.

Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes widened, and he thought enviously, “This flash was a bit showy.

After the conversation, the sun was high in the sky. It was almost noon. Xu Qi ‘an and the others stayed at the Azure Dragon Temple to enjoy their vegetarian meal.

“Azure Dragon temple’s vegetarian food is really delicious.” Yan Caiwei finished two bowls in one go and held the third bowl, complimenting it with satisfaction.

Azure Dragon temple’s vegetarian meal was mixed with black rice, millet, and corn. Before steaming, sesame oil was drizzled. The rice grains were full, crystal clear, and fragrant.

The vegetarian dishes were also made with great care, and the color, fragrance, and taste were all good.

Xu Qi ‘an sat beside her and was happy to see her eating so happily. She smiled and said, “”Female benefactor, don’t just focus on eating. This little monk is here to beg for alms.”

Yan Caiwei protected her bowl and rolled her eyes, saying in a bad mood,”Are you eating different from me?”

Xu Qi ‘an shook his head,”I’m not a monk.”

“Then what should I transform into?”

“Little monk, it’s broad daylight.”

....

Everyone was quite satisfied with the vegetarian dishes of Azure Dragon Temple. The only regret was that there was no white Phoenix meat to nourish the body.

Master Heng Qing, who was a prison guard, sent everyone to the entrance of the temple. The city people were too cunning, so prison guard Heng Qing was angry and didn’t say anything on the way.

Xu Qi ‘an suddenly thought of something and asked, “”Master, do you know a monk called Hengyuan?”

Hengqing prison’s expression changed.
