"Daxiangguo Temple".
The reason why Xu Zhen said these four words in public was to see the monk's reaction.
As it turns out, he was right.
"Xu Zhen," asked a certain policeman who had a bad relationship with Xu Zhen, "why are you so crazy? What is Daxiangguo Temple? I have never heard of it."
"Senior brother," Shen Yu whispered from behind Xu Zhen, "do you know this monk? He is from the Daxiangguo Temple?"
At this moment, everyone looked at Xu Zhen curiously, not knowing what he meant.
Among the crowd, only Cheng Xiao saw the problem, because Xu Zhen's words had already made the monk open his eyes for the second time, and he also looked at Xu Zhen.
It seems that Xu Zhen must have guessed something.
"People have the heart of an animal, they are daydreaming without a heart, they are confused without a heart, and they are confident without a heart."
At this time, Xu Zhen repeated the monk's Buddhist words in public, but while repeating, his eyes were fixed on the monk, wanting to see what his next reaction would be?
"This is not a Buddhist saying, but a riddle," Xu Zhen continued, "Humans have an animal heart, and the animal heart is the horizontal line, and the human plus one horizontal line is the word 'big'.
"Thinking without any intention, thinking about words without the intention, is the word "xiang".
"To be confused and unintentional is to remove the heart and trap the word "or", which is exactly the word "国".
"The last one is the one who is confident but has no fear. If you remove the word "心" next to it, it will naturally be the word 'Temple'."
oh……
For a moment, there was silence in the lobby, everyone was shocked by Xu Zhen's miraculous understanding ability.
No one thought that Daxiangguo Temple had such a meaning.
After a few seconds, the monk suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed:
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
The laughter was like breaking through clouds and cracking rocks, deafening, causing many police officers to block their ears again.
"Hey, what are you laughing at? Stop laughing!" The policeman pointed at the monk with his whistle stick, "You monk, are you a lunatic?"
"Yes, speak quickly," Fu Bin urged, "Did we guess it right? What does Daxiangguo Temple mean?"
"Amitabha..." As a result, after the monk recited the Buddha's name, he closed his eyes again, picked up his rosary beads, and started chanting sutras.
"Hey? You? Cough..." Fu Bin was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Shen Yu stared at her big bright eyes and praised like a little girl, "Senior Brother Xu can guess such a difficult question after just one listen. It's really amazing!"
Xu Zhen quickly waved his hand and corrected: "He said it twice."
"Daxiangguo Temple..." Shen Yu frowned, "What does this mean?"
"That's why I asked everyone," Xu Zhen asked, "Which of you has heard of this Daxiangguo Temple?"
Hearing Xu Zhen's question again, all the officers and police officers shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of it.
"I know, I know!" Unexpectedly, an old government servant in charge of cleaning next to him suddenly raised his hand and said, "We do have a Daxiangguo Temple in Yanping County, located in the Qiaotougou area of Qilidian!"
"Really?" someone questioned, "It's not far from the county seat. Why haven't I heard of it?"
“I know, I know,” the old government official said excitedly, “This Grand Prime Minister’s Temple was built after Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne to commemorate his service to the Prime Minister.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion at that time was near Qilidian. There used to be a city there. Later, due to serious flooding, the city disappeared, but the Daxiangguo Temple remained, and I heard that it was very popular. My parents said that when they were little I often go there to burn incense.
"But later on, with the rise of Xuanjiao and the decline of Buddhism, the Daxiangguo Temple gradually declined and became abandoned. About twenty years ago, there was another flood there, so not many people knew about it."
Everyone calculated in their minds that this old government official was in his fifties this year. Wasn't it seventy or eighty years ago when his parents were young?
Even the old government officials have only heard about it. Those who have actually seen this Daxiangguo Temple may never see it again.
As a result, everyone was even more curious, wondering why the monk who claimed to have come to the Yamen to surrender wanted to mention such an ancient temple that had long since disappeared?
"Then..." Cheng Xiao glanced at the monk, and then asked the old yamen officer, "Is there anything else there now?"
"I don't know about that," said the old government officer. "Why would there be some ruins left after the flood? That place is muddy and wet, and the roads are difficult to walk. Few people go there."
Tsk tsk...
Cheng Xiao smacked his lips and frowned, suddenly hesitating, wondering whether he should pay attention to this strange and weird thing.
It stands to reason that now is the busiest time for the Yamen, so he should not meddle in other people's business and just drive the monk away.
However, the monk refused to say anything and even started playing crossword puzzles with them, which made it clear that the person who came was not a good person.
In addition, he claimed that he had come to surrender, so he would not miss any major clues. What if it was related to Qiu Batian's case?
so……
Xu Zhen saw Cheng Xiao's thoughts and thought that he didn't want to get involved in Qiu Batian's affairs anyway, so he might as well take the initiative to find out the intentions of this mysterious monk.
So, he immediately stood up and said to Cheng Xiao: "Cheng Baotou, why not leave this matter to me and Shen Yu! Shall we go to the Daxiangguo Temple?"
"Okay!" Cheng Xiao unexpectedly agreed as if he wanted it.
One is that he hates Xu Zhen, so it is better to be out of sight and out of mind; the other is that Shen Yu often gets into trouble, so it is better to follow Xu Zhen; and the other is that Xu Zhen is indeed smart enough, so letting him investigate this case is better than sending someone else. More appropriate.
However, Cheng Xiao still kept a cautious eye and added:
"To be on the safe side, let Fu Bin follow you!"
"This..." Fu Bin was reluctant, but Cheng Xiao had already spoken, so he naturally did not dare to disobey.
"There is also Lao Duan," Xu Zhen pointed at the old government servant, "We have to let Lao Duan lead the way."
"Okay, okay, no problem, no problem." Lao Duan quickly agreed. He could not help but wish to make meritorious service to the Yamen.
Therefore, Xu Zhen and his party immediately went to the stable to pick fast horses to search for the ruins of Daxiangguo Temple.
Just as they were about to leave, Xu Zhen heard Cheng Xiao give another order to the two detectives, asking them to stay in the lobby and stare at the monk.
Hearing this, Xu Zhen couldn't help but look back, but saw that the monk was still calm and composed, as if he was in Zen.
Like Cheng Xiao, Xu Zhen had already noticed that this monk came with bad intentions and seemed to have a strong purpose. Therefore, he could not let go of any clues. He had to find the Daxiangguo Temple and find out what was inside this man's gourd. What medicine are you selling?
Things are unpredictable and unpredictable.
Xu Zhen never expected that the search process would go smoothly.
Qilidian Qiaotougou was not far from the county seat, and because it was winter, the wet and muddy roads were already freezing. Before noon, they had already arrived near their destination.
After some inquiries in the local area, they walked directly across the frozen lake for a few hundred meters and successfully found the ruins of the Daxiangguo Temple.
There are only ruins left in the ruins, and reeds and weeds are growing everywhere.
"This..." Shen Yu looked around, feeling greatly disappointed, "What can we find in this shabby place? Isn't the monk trying to trick us?"
"Don't look at the ruins left," Fu Bin looked up eagerly, "This place is not small, isn't it?"
"Yes," Lao Duan said, "I heard from my parents that this Xiangguo Temple is a royal temple, so the scale cannot be small."
"In that case," Xu Zhen said, "let's look for it separately!"
So, the four people spread out and entered the ruins to search.
Unexpectedly, the search went more smoothly this time. Not long after they separated, they heard Shen Yu shouting from the grass: "Brother Xu, come here quickly! Come quickly, I...I found it!"
