It is said that this Taoist temple is built on the mountain. It is not very impressive, but it has winding paths and is very secluded.
The location is very unique.
This may be the reason why the prince of Bei'an Prefecture and the imperial court took a fancy to this place.
Because few people come here to offer incense, and there are only a few old Taoist priests guarding the Taoist temple, and after this place was later requisitioned by Bei'an Prefecture as a royal water and land dojo, there are even fewer ordinary people coming.
It’s not that people don’t come here, it’s that people are not allowed in here.
After putting on makeup, it was impossible to tell that he was a servant of the Qiandong County government.
Qin Tianming quietly came to the outskirts of the Taoist temple with his servants.
They tied their horses far away from the Taoist temple, then walked up the mountain. In less than a pack of cigarettes, they reached the outer wall of the Taoist temple.
Qin Tianming took the lead to observe the Taoist temple for a while, then called the followers together and gave them careful instructions:
"We are exploring the Taoist temple at night. We can't all enter, do you understand? We still need one person to stay outside. If someone discovers him, he can respond to us. Han Meng and Capt. Han will stay outside the temple, waiting to respond to us!"
Han Meng nodded and stayed.
Later, Qin Tianming's troops were divided into two groups. One group was led by Li Tai, who climbed over the high wall in front of the Taoist temple and searched everywhere along the trail to see if there was anything suspicious.
Qin Tianming, his master, and of course Gao Yanjiao, followed the outside path, entered from the back wall behind the Taoist temple, then searched forward, and then met Li Tai, Li Shitong and the others in the middle of the Taoist temple.
After the instructions were given, Li Tai and Li Shitong went to the front, while Qin Tianming and three others went to the back mountain of the Taoist temple.
Li Tai and Li Shitong climbed into the Taoist temple from the tall wall at the front door, and then moved forward in hiding.
When Qin Tianming and others entered the Taoist temple in two groups, they discovered that the Qinglong Temple Taoist temple was not simple.
The Taoist temple is not large in scale, and its total area is less than half that of ordinary Taoist temples, but if you look at it on the surface, you will definitely be deceived.
In fact, the furnishings inside the Taoist temple are very luxurious and extravagant. The main hall and side halls are extremely luxuriously decorated, with silver bricks and gold floors, cornices and brackets, and the decoration is extremely luxurious.
Even the outer towers and the forest of steles inside the Taoist temple are all made of marble, which glows blue in the night, which is very shocking.
Gao Yanjiao led the way, and with the help of the moonlight, Qin Tianming and Master followed behind.
Qin Tianming was shocked by the splendid layout of this small Taoist temple. He whispered to the master who was following him:
"Master, I didn't know that your small Qandong County actually has such a superb Taoist temple?"
The master whispered:
"Qin Tianming, you don't know something. Although our Qandong County is small, this is the place where the Great Xia Kingdom flourished, so the history is not simple. This place is amazing, don't dare to underestimate it."
oh?
The land of Longxing?
How can a remote small county like Qiandong County be the land of Longxing?
Qin Tianming was a little surprised, stopped and hurriedly asked his master:
"How can this place be the land of Longxing? It is clearly a remote and remote area."
Regarding the history of the Great Xia Kingdom, Qin Tianming did not have time to fully understand it since he time traveled. He was involved in the life and death of the case and then immersed himself in solving the case. Therefore, he knew nothing about the history of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Fortunately, there is a master like Master who knows everything about Daxia, so Qin Tianming can take the opportunity to ask for advice.
Because solving crimes sometimes requires these historical secrets.
In an instant, the three of them came to a large forest of Taoist monuments.
The master stood beside the forest of Taoist monuments and said leisurely:
"You don't know something. Qiandong County originally gave birth to the entire Daxia Kingdom. As the saying goes, there was Qiandong County first, and then there was the Daxia Kingdom! Do you understand? When the Daxia Kingdom had not yet been established, the Daxia Kingdom was too It was from here that the ancestral emperor Xia Hu raised his troops to resist the Daye Kingdom, and was able to attack the city and finally defeat the Daye Kingdom, and finally established the current strength of the Daxia Kingdom, and then was able to establish the country!"
Qin Tianming said with great interest:
"So Qandong County is really the land of Longxing in Daxia?"
The master nodded and said:
"If it is broad daylight now, most of the inscriptions on the forest of steles erected here in Qinglong Temple are about how the Great Xia Kingdom became prosperous. They are all mentioned by celebrities in the poetry of the Great Xia Kingdom. They are extremely precious."
After hearing this, Qin Tianming quickly approached an inscription and examined it carefully with the help of moonlight.
The inscription seems to be engraved in Central Plains small seal script with a great history of how Xia Hu, the founding emperor of Daxia, expanded his territory.
The inscription on the stele is written in small seal script, and the writing style is vigorous and powerful. It does not look like it was written by ordinary people.
Because it was night and the moonlight was obscured by the branches, Qin Tianming could only roughly check the inscriptions.
After reading a few inscriptions, Qin Tianming suddenly felt that this ancient Qinglong Temple was even more mysterious and unpredictable.
It turns out that Qinglong Temple is not simple. It seems to be a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, hiding the history of how Daxia was founded. It is also a royal water and land dojo. No wonder it is famous and not simple.
Qin Tianming secretly thought that if he had a chance that day, he would come here and take a good look at these inscriptions, and then he would completely master the history of Daxia.
Mastering the history of Daxia will definitely help you solve the case.
Walking out of the Forest of Steles, an unusually tall building suddenly stood in front of us.
This building has cornices and brackets, and is very magnificent.
Qin Tianming looked around and felt that this hall was one of the most magnificent halls in Qinglong Temple.
The master looked sideways at Qin Tianming and said:
"Qin Dachuzuo, do you know who built this Mahavira Palace?"
Since Qin Tianming time traveled, I was the only one who solved cases in the county government, and my predecessor was a pig butcher. I didn’t even know where the Qinglong Temple was, so naturally I didn’t know who built this grand palace.
Qin Tianming hesitated and said:
"Did the emperor build this great palace?"
Seeing Qin Tianming's confused face, the master explained:
"This hall was built by Xia Hu, Emperor Taizu of the Xia Kingdom. At that time, Emperor Taizu had already proclaimed himself emperor, expanded his territory and acquired countless lands of the Great Xia Kingdom, and established a great country with an area no less than that of the Central Plains Dynasty. It is more and more like today. The smaller Daxia Kingdom was simply incomparable. After the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu was free to build the Taoist temple here, using it as the only water and land Taoist temple in the dynasty to worship the dead ancestors and the warriors who followed him and died on the battlefield. !”
Oh oh oh,
Only now did Qin Tianming understand that this Qinglong Temple was not simple. It turned out to be the royal water and land dojo of Daxia Kingdom!
During seasonal or New Year holidays, Qinglong Temple is quite lively.
The Emperor of Daxia will personally lead the civil and military officials and relatives of the emperor to come here to pay homage.
All the allies of Great Xia will send people to participate in the Royal Water and Land Dojo.
Every year at the Water and Land Dojo, one is to offer sacrifices to one's ancestors, and the other is to offer sacrifices to the three pure gods.
The master said meaningfully:
"Xia Hu, the ancestor of the Great Xia Kingdom, was actually a Taoist priest. He became a Taoist priest because his family was poor. Later, when he became the emperor, he built Qinglong Temple into a national Taoist temple, so this place is quite famous."
Qin Tianming said:
"According to your analysis, Master, this place is indeed unusual, so we need to investigate carefully and not let go of any clues! Especially those vehicles with eight horses."
After walking for a while, the master shook his head and looked at Qin Tianming and said:
"I have always had a question in my mind to ask you. Qin Tianming, you said that an eight-horse carriage entered Qinglong Temple, suspecting that this is a place where the murderer is hiding. Li Shitong and Panzuo Li disagree with you. Now you should Do you understand? This is the Royal Water and Land Dojo, and there are many luxury carriages. Is your analysis wrong? "
In fact, Qin Tianming was not sure whether those carriage ruts belonged to the prince, so he wanted to come here to investigate.
When asked by his master, Qin Tianming really didn't know how to answer.
Qin Tianming was also a little worried at the moment.
Although he sensed that Qinglong Temple was suspicious from the rut marks, when he saw it with his own eyes, he himself had some doubts.
Those eight-horse luxury carriages clearly drove from the exit of the sinkhole into Qinglong Temple on a heavy rainy day and then disappeared. Was this really a mistake in my judgment?
Shouldn't it?
Qin Tianming is still quite conceited about his own judgment.
Although the master's words were sonorous and powerful, Qin Tianming was determined to get to the bottom of the casserole and must get to the bottom of it.
Qin Tianming waved his hands and said firmly to the master:
"No matter where this place is, or whether it is the Royal Water and Land Dojo, we must find those mysterious carriages! If we find the carriages, I can find out whether there is something wrong with Qinglong Temple! If the carriage is really the prince's If you use it, you can eliminate suspicion here."
The master frowned and shook his head upon hearing this.
The master thought to himself, Qin Tianming, you are really brave. Are you doing an experiment on the Qandong County government? If those carriages really belong to the prince, how can we explain to Magistrate Gao?
Qin Tianming acts a little thoughtlessly.
Master shook his head and said:
"Qin Dazhuzuo, we are official officials of Qiandong County. If we can't find any evidence in Qinglong Temple, if we are caught by the Taoist people, we will definitely be in big trouble in the future."
Qin Tianming was firm and did not listen to his master's words.
Because does he know that if he wants to investigate the case, he must go deep into the tiger's den, otherwise how will he find the murderer?
Qin Tianming was just about to say let us enter the Main Hall to check, when he suddenly heard someone coming from behind.
Gao Yanjiao hurriedly drew her sword and was about to stop her when she suddenly heard someone shouting in a low voice:
"Don't do anything, I am Li Tai!"
When Qin Tianming saw clearly who was coming, he realized that Li Tai and Li Shitong entered Qinglong Temple from the backyard. They checked along the way and found several unique carriages in the stables in the backyard!
Qin Tianming was extremely happy when he heard that there were several carriages in the backyard of the Taoist temple. He quickly ordered Li Tai to lead the way and quickly rushed to the stables in the backyard!
When Qin Tianming followed Li Tai, he quickly arrived at the stables in the backyard of the Taoist temple. Sure enough, there were four idle carriages placed in the stables.
Qin Tianming was a little surprised, so he asked Li Tai and Gao Yanjiao to hold up the torches and hurried forward to take a closer look.
The distance of the ruts, the marks on the car, whether there are blood stains, and whether there are any damages, these are all traces that Qin Tianming needs to carefully inspect. Qin Tianming will not let go of even the smallest traces.
Because he knew that all the answers might be inside these carriages.
Qin Tianming looked at it very carefully. The inspection had not been completed for almost half an hour. Li Shitong, who was afraid of getting into trouble, hurriedly stepped forward and reminded Qin Tianming:
"It's already the fourth watch, my Qin Dazhuzuo, if you don't stay around, we will definitely be discovered by people from the Taoist temple. It will be troublesome to escape at that time."
Qin Tianming remained silent and continued to check for a while, then suddenly stood up and said:
"As expected, the suspicion is greatest here! The murderer may be hiding here!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, wondering where Qin Tianming found out that the murderer was here.
Everyone was about to ask when suddenly the lights outside the stables brightened up, and then many Taoist priests, noisy and holding hands, swarmed in from outside!
