At this time, Ji Wurui's familiar figure appeared at the door of the inn. Wang Qian felt happy and went to greet him.
Ji Wurui also saw Wang Qi'an at this time, but when he saw him winking, he couldn't help but pretend to be looking around in the restaurant on the first floor, looking for a place.
When Wang Qi'an passed by him, he whispered "Let's talk outside", walked out of the inn without stopping, and walked to the left along the street.
Ji Wurui knew what was going on. After waiting for a while, he turned around and went out, sneaking up behind Wang Qi'an.
It wasn't until he turned into a deserted alley that Wang Qi'an stopped and waited for Ji Wurui to step forward.
"Did something happen at the inn just now? Why did Brother Wang behave so strangely?" Ji Wurui came to stand in front of Wang Qi'an and asked doubtfully.
"If it is as Brother Ji expected, Zhang Yuxian will not sit idly by." Wang Qi'an revealed the plot of Zhang Yuxian and the others to seize the Buddha's bones.
"This is not surprising. When Zhang Yuxian was young, he met a strange person who taught him the authentic Buddhist teachings. From this, he regarded himself as a member of the Buddhist lineage and called himself a "reincarnated Arhat." There were also many Buddhist believers who followed him in the Red Army, so of course he We will not let Buddhist sacred objects fall into the hands of the Southern Han court that is hostile to us." Ji Wurui said without surprise.
"It's those people with strange costumes that piqued my interest. Judging from their costumes, they don't look like the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains. They should be one of the many barbarians in the southwest. Their specific identities will probably have to be investigated to find out. "Ji Wurui said again.
"It's not appropriate to go into details here. I wonder if Brother Fu's side is going well?" Wang Qi'an said.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life." Ji Wurui smiled and took out a bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Wang Qi'an.
"The spice thing will take some more time. I'm afraid it will take another day or two to find out the clues." He added.
"So thank you, Brother Lao Ji." Wang Qi'an said.
After separating from Ji Wurui, Wang Qi'an diverted to Qianheng Temple. Since he had successfully obtained the palace building plan, he decided to discuss with Kong Fa and others to enter the palace tomorrow night when Liu Hongbi entered the palace.
When he arrived at the temple, he saw a bustling crowd and many pilgrims. The young novice who had received him before noticed Wang Qi'an and hurriedly came forward.
"Is there something wrong with the donor?" he asked in a low voice.
"Can Hong Yi and Master Kong Fa be in the temple?" Wang Qi'an asked.
"The host and others are meeting guests. Please come with me, donor." After saying this, the little novice monk led the way.
Wang Qi'an was glad that he didn't miss the chance and followed the young novice inside.
The young novice monk took Wang Qi'an to the door of the courtyard at the end of the temple and stopped.
"Almsgiver, please stay here later and let the young monk go and inform." After saluting, the young novice opened the door and entered.
Wang Qi'an looked up and saw three powerful characters "Jingxinyuan" written on the plaque.
After a while, the wooden door opened, and the young novice monk came out and said to Wang Qi'an: "The host invites you, the donor can go in by himself." After that, he left on his own.
Wang Qi'an stepped into the courtyard and found that it was just a small courtyard, full of flowers and green plants. There was only a path leading to a single room in the innermost part. No wonder the little novice didn't say which room he should go to.
After Wang Qi'an pushed the door, he found that it was an empty hall, with a total of sixteen futons in four rows arranged in an orderly manner. Qingkong and Hong Yi were sitting in the inner row. Seeing Wang Qi'an enter the door, Hong Yi was looking towards He nodded and smiled, while Qingkong remained silent with his eyes closed.
Kongfa and Kongyi sat side by side at the bottom left, also nodding.
On the lower right, there are two unfamiliar young monks.
"Donor Wang, please take a seat!" Hong Yi pointed to the empty futon on the left and said to Wang Qi'an.
"These two are Zhi Xian and Master Zhi who came all the way from Linglu Temple in Wutai Mountain. According to the two masters, Master Zhi, the abbot of Linglu Temple, received the news that the 'Four Enlightenment Masters' under the Padmasambhava, the eminent monk of Tubo Tantric Sect, We have already set off to Lingnan for the Buddha Bone Ceremony," Hong Yi said.
"Lianhuasheng is the Tubo State Master, the Supreme Master of Samye Monastery, and is known as the best master in Qinghai and Tibet. His four disciples are good at their own unique arts and are also first-class people." Kongfa said with a solemn expression after hearing this.
"It is said that the King of Tubo also requested the South Tianzhu Kingdom to welcome the bones of Sakyamuni Buddha to Samye Temple for worship, but was rejected by the South Tianzhu Kingdom. The abbot senior brother warned us that he was afraid that the visitor would be unkind. I have plans for the Buddha's bones." Zen Master Zhixian, who was sitting on the right front seat, said.
"According to the senior abbot, Padmasambhava practiced the Supreme Tantric Dzogchen Kungfu and created the Eight Transformations of the Lotus Sect. After he became the Tubo State Preceptor, he single-handedly entered into the witchcraft sect that had harmed Tubo for many years and punished him. Eighteen masters of the witchcraft sect, including the leader, almost uprooted the sect’s influence in Tubo overnight,” continued Zen Master Zhixian.
"The Fourth Awakening Master is a direct disciple of Padmasambhava. He claims to have followed him for many years, and is said to have learned the true transmission of the Supreme Tantric Dzogchen Kung Fu. Once a Zen monk went to Tubo to teach the Dharma, but not even any of the Four Awakening Masters could win. In the end, they had no choice but to evacuate Tubo." Zen Master Zhizhi said again.
Although Wang Qi'an didn't know who the Lianhuasheng they were talking about was, he saw that all the monks were serious and realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Hmph, let alone the 'Fourth Enlightenment' under him, even if Padmasambhava comes personally, so what, are you afraid that no one in our Central Plains Buddhism can respond?" Hearing that they had other people's ambitions, Qingkong suddenly interjected with dissatisfaction.
"As the saying goes, open guns are easy to hide, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against. Since the opponent dares to come, he has a complete plan. If we can detect it in advance, we can prepare a complete strategy. Uncle, do you think so?" Qingkong is an elder of Hongyi, so he naturally doesn't If you dare to offend, you can only say it tactfully.
"The poor monk has invited many eminent Buddhist monks to come to Qianheng Temple to discuss this matter. The two masters have come from afar and have been tired all the way. They will stay in our temple for the time being." Hongyi summoned a monk who knew the guest and brought the two Zhixian and Zhizhi together. Take away from the "Jingxinyuan".
"Although the donor is not a Buddhist, this matter is probably related to the overall situation, so I invited the donor to listen here." Hongyi explained to Wang Qi'an.
After Wang Qi'an expressed his understanding, he told the story of meeting Zhang Yuxian in the inn.
When everyone heard that the Red Army was also planning to hijack the Buddha's bones, their expressions changed drastically. It seemed that the Buddha Bone Ceremony would turn into a catastrophe if not done well.
"I met a few people in strange costumes today at the inn. They don't look like Han people. Master Kongfa has had contacts with many ethnic groups in the southwest before. Is it possible to guess their identities?" The appearance of the four men and one woman seen at Wang Qi'an's inn The clothing is described in detail.
"As far as I know, only the Miao people in the land of Yonggui and Qianzhou and Zhangzhou are dressed like this. From this point of view, they may be people from the Thirty-sixth Dong and the Five Barbarian Alliances." After Kongfa listened to Wang Qi'an , words, I can roughly guess which force it is.
"The forces in the southwest have also come to take advantage of the excitement. It seems that the situation is getting more and more complicated and the variables are getting bigger and bigger. We must find the whereabouts of Master Xuanyi as soon as possible." Kong Fa said.
Speaking of Xuan Yi's matter, Wang Qi'an explained the key to the period when Liu Hongbi entered the palace tomorrow night, and then took out the bamboo tube Ji Wurui gave him, unplugged it, and pulled out the drawings, revealing the details of the construction of Prince Wen Ding's palace. In front of you.
"I didn't expect that the donor could actually obtain this map. This way, it will be very convenient. The poor monk asked people to invite the two Taoist brothers Xunmu Ruomu, and we will discuss how to implement it tomorrow night." Hong Yi said happily.
