"Is this happening?"
Upon hearing that Zhi Dun's skeleton was born, the abbot's usually calm expression became a little more excited and shocked.
Professor Song An talked about the archaeological process, and the host became more excited and said with double ten's:
"I originally thought that I couldn't find the place where Master Zhidun passed away, but I didn't expect that it was buried deep under the river bed. This is a blessing for us at Qiguang Temple, and even for the entire Daxia Buddhism!"
It took a long time for the abbot to calm down. He clasped his hands and bowed solemnly to the people in the research center.
"Amitabha, poor monk, I would like to thank you all very much."
"I hope we can pay homage to the remains of Master Ichidun in the future."
Professor Song waved his hands quickly and said politely: "These are all matters within our scope. The abbot is just being polite. When the archaeological work is completed in a while, the remains of Master Zhidun will naturally be properly disposed of, and everyone will be invited at that time." The eminent Buddhist monks went to discuss the matter."
"Very good, very good."
In any case, if it weren't for the people in the research center, I'm afraid the bones of Master Zhidun would still be hidden in the long river of history.
Therefore, the abbot was very grateful to the people from the Archaeological Center. In response to their consultation, the abbot hurriedly asked the monks to bring the temple's documents and records, as well as all books related to Zhidun.
"It's all here. If you, the donor, want to check it out, you can read it yourself, or you can let the poor monk explain it to you."
As he said that, the abbot looked puzzled, "It's strange to say that according to the records in Temple Li's books, Master Zhidun didn't have any ancient bronze swords around him, and Buddhists don't wear sharp weapons. Is there any information error in this? "
If the people at the research center hadn't said it themselves, he wouldn't have known that Master Zhidun actually had such an ancient bronze sword beside him.
According to how much Master Zhidun attaches great importance to this sword, and even takes it with him when he is sitting and passing away, it stands to reason that it is impossible for future generations not to leave any clues behind, let alone for future generations of Buddhist disciples to know nothing about it.
But the people at the research center found nothing after tracing it all the way, and I had never heard of such rumors.
Now that the ancient bronze sword has mysteriously disappeared, it is inconvenient for the archaeological center to say more about this matter. After all, it is a bit embarrassing.
After checking some information, I found that there was no news related to the ancient sword, and it felt more and more like it had appeared out of thin air.
Professor Song and others could not help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that this trip to explore the origin of the ancient bronze sword was destined to return in vain.
"Thank you, Abbot."
The abbot waved his hand and said you're welcome. He looked at the people in the research center with some disappointment. He seemed to have thought of something.
"Amitabha, although we have never known about ancient bronze swords, there have been several strange things happening in the temple recently, and they are still related to Master Zhidun. I wonder if it will be helpful to your archaeological research."
Hearing this, the people in the research center couldn't help but wonder, "Something related to Master Zhidun?"
The abbot nodded, "Previously in the Sutra Pavilion, the Buddha appeared, and even Master Zhidun came to read the sutras. In addition, there were even two more talismans at the back..."
The abbot recounted what happened recently, and his heart surged every time he talked about it.
Professor Song and others seemed to be listening to a story. They originally thought that what they heard would be useful clues for Master Zhidun, but they did not expect to hear such remarks, making them dumbfounded.
But the abbot spoke very seriously, and seemed to be sure that it was the Buddha and Zhidun Apparition, with awe and piety written all over his face.
The people in the research center pretended to be astonished and pretended to be surprised, "There is such a strange thing?"
The abbot turned the rosary in his hand and said, "Amitabha, monks do not lie."
Professor Song An smiled coquettishly. In fact, he didn't believe this. He could only say politely: "Is there any coincidence in this?"
Some temples that seek fame or are not well-known may fabricate some miracles to promote the temple's miraculousness in order to attract pilgrims.
However, Qiguang Temple has a long history and was founded by Master Zhidun. The incense has always been prosperous and there is an endless stream of pilgrims. The monks in the temple should disdain such tricks.
The abbot shook his head, "This is what the monks of our temple saw with their own eyes. It is definitely not a coincidence. Moreover, judging from the miracles that were revealed at that time, Master Zhidun's soul was indeed wandering here, reading the scriptures, which made us quite enlightened." Enlightenment.”
"It's a pity that we didn't see Master Zhidun with our own eyes when he appeared. Otherwise, we could have seen whether the master was equipped with a sword?"
The more I heard it, the more outrageous it became. Everyone in the archaeological center had different expressions. Some people couldn't help but murmured after hearing this.
"If only this were the case, we could just ask Master Zhidun about the origin of that ancient bronze sword."
Although this is a joke, it is not unreasonable. If you really want to find out the secret, is there any faster way than asking the person directly?
But people at the research center don't believe this.
It was already noon, and the sun suddenly cast a shadow, and the light became dim. I don't know when a large black cloud entrenched itself in a corner of the sky.
Looking at the weather like this, I'm afraid there will be a thunderstorm soon.
The smell of food came from the temple, and it was already lunch time.
The abbot was very considerate and said: "Why don't you finish your meal before leaving?"
There are no places to eat nearby. If you drive to the city, it is still some distance away, so you might as well just stay here, where you can take a rest before setting off back to Kyoto.
Professor Song nodded and thanked, "Then I'll trouble you, Abbot."
The vegetarian meals at Qiguang Temple are very good. Although they are all vegetarian dishes, they are small and delicate and taste good. Perhaps because they were hungry, the people in the research center ate them to their heart's content.
In just a short while, the thick dark clouds had completely engulfed the figure of the sun, and the shadow of the outline of the green mountains not far away became blurred, looking like a thick mass of ink under the dark sky.
But in the mountains and forests, there were two people moving forward steadily. Although the mountain road was difficult, they were obviously from the training family, with stable legs and smooth breathing.
The two men were tall and very strong. Although their facial features were ordinary, the occasional flash of fierce light in their eyes exuded evil aura, indicating that they were not ordinary people.
One of the bald heads said: "Looking at the weather, it's going to rain soon. We need to find a place to take shelter. It's not safe in the mountains and forests during thunderstorms."
Another person had a scar at the corner of his eye, and his triangular eyes didn't look easy to mess with. "Damn, I'm really unlucky this time. I didn't get the thing, but was targeted by the police. It's hard to explain to the big boss."
The bald man's name is Li Hai and the scarred man's name is Qin Yu. They were both employed by the previous overseas group organization.
The overseas group sent two groups of people in succession and all were wiped out. The big boss behind the scenes obviously didn't give up. After things gradually calmed down, he actually sent people over again.
It's just that the people he sent this time were very special. The two previous groups of people were all tomb robbers, and even if they had some skills, they were only aimed at the inside of the tomb.
This time, the two of them are professional mercenaries. Their physical fitness and comprehensive aspects are much better than the previous troops. They are even from Daxia, making it easier to enter and infiltrate.
But before they could take action, Naihe's traces were exposed, which is still incredible to this day.
I am a professional!
As a result, the action was exposed before it even started. Why?
The two of them fled all the way from the foggy city to Yunling City and hid in the mountains and forests, but this was not a problem.
Qin Yu cursed, "Originally I just wanted to get some information from those villagers, but I didn't expect that the villagers would be so alert and immediately called the police."
"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! It's just a group of villagers, why are they so sharp?"
"At that time, some villagers even wanted to fight me. Who gave him the confidence? If I didn't want to alert the snake, I would have killed these dogs!"
Li Hai comforted him: "Forget it, it's useless to say all this now, let's think about how to get rid of the policeman behind you."
Qin Yu's expression was a little sinister, and he looked even more fierce. "Those policemen are like dogs, chasing us from the fog city to Yunling. I'm afraid they will find us soon, and we must find another way."
The two of them walked along the mountain road. Qin Yu squinted his eyes as if he saw something, "There seems to be a temple there."
The temple is not far from the foot of the mountain. Among the lush trees, the red walls and green tiles are particularly obvious. It covers a relatively large area. People come and go, and the incense seems to be very good.
"The mountain is too dangerous. If you get trapped, you will have to wait for death. There are many people in the temple, and it won't be obvious if we sneak in. If not, we can still take hostages and use the chaos to find an opportunity to escape from Yunling."
The two of them sneaked down the mountain, trying to pretend to be pilgrims coming to the temple to worship. Then they would find a way to steal a car and leave the place to get rid of the police who were chasing after them.
The appearance of the two people has never been exposed, so they dare to sneak into the city to look for opportunities to escape.
"Woof woof woof——"
However, just as the two were preparing to go down the mountain, they heard the sound of dogs barking and hurried footsteps behind them.
Both of their expressions changed, "Oops, those cops are catching up!"
"Why so fast?"
Qin Yu and Li Hai looked shocked. They didn't expect that the Daxia police were so capable, and they had come to find them in such a short time.
There is something really wrong with this mission!
The two of them quickly fled down the mountain. There were many people in the temple, and their scent could be well concealed. They would certainly not be easily discovered by police dogs.
Because it is a working day, the flow of people in Qiguang Temple today is not as large as before, and the number is quite large. However, no one expected that among the pilgrims, there would be criminals with guns mixed in.
Originally, Li Hai and Qin Yu planned to mingle among the pilgrims and leave together, but when they reached the gate, they heard a siren sounding from far to near.
"Beep--Beep--"
Their faces gradually became ugly.
Unexpectedly, there was someone on the mountain, and the police at the foot of the mountain were also prepared. They were going to catch turtles in an urn. They had already planned it!
Qin Yu couldn't help lowering his voice, "What should we do now? I shouldn't have taken this mission..."
"The police didn't see our faces clearly. We were mixed in the crowd. If there is a chance, don't panic."
Soon, a large number of police cars stopped at the entrance of Qiguang Temple. There was only one way out of the temple, and it was already blocked by the police.
If they choose to escape at this time, they will attract attention. The two of them can only choose to stand still.
Other pilgrims were also alarmed by this turn of events.
"What's going on? Why did a police car suddenly come over?"
"What happened?"
"I don't know, who called the police."
Everyone was talking about it.
The movement outside quickly attracted the attention of the monks in the temple and the research center.
"Abbott, it's bad, there are a lot of police outside."
The abbot's face changed slightly, "What are the police here for?"
The monks shook their heads to express their ignorance.
Professor Song recalled the police car he saw on the road earlier and felt inexplicably uneasy.
The people at the research center couldn't help but murmured: "Could it be that some kind of fugitive who came here?"
"Can it be such a coincidence?"
The abbot, Professor Song and others came outside and took a look. There were many police cars parked outside, and there were almost a dozen policemen.
It was Sun Zhenbang and others who came, but in addition to the police from Wudu, they also contacted the local police in Yunling to encircle and suppress the two lawless elements.
After all, they are armed with guns and are a threat to the people, so they must be arrested as soon as possible.
Team Zhou and Bai Yanfei were also present and participated in this operation.
The two parties are also considered acquaintances. Counting the previous time in Fog City, this is their second time to cooperate.
Especially Bai Yanfei did not expect that she would be in such a situation when she came near Qiguang Temple again.
A voice came from Sun Zhenbang's walkie-talkie.
"No trace of those two people was found on the mountain. It is estimated that they have fled down the mountain. They should not have gone very far."
There is only one road down the mountain, which happens to be leading to Qiguang Temple.
"It's bad, there are too many people here, they want to do something bad!"
It was still difficult for the two of them to leave in such a short period of time. Sun Zhenbang was certain that the two of them were either hiding among the crowd or hiding in the temple.
Sun Zhenbang looked around the crowd with sharp eyes, but there were too many people, and it would be difficult to find the two people for a while.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. We are tracking two criminals who escaped here, and we suspect they are hiding among the crowd now."
The moment the words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar, and their wary eyes fell on the stranger next to them, looking at him with some suspicion.
"It's so scary. There are actually criminals among us."
"With so many police officers alerted, the criminals probably still have guns in their hands."
"It's really unlucky. I originally wanted to burn incense to get rid of the bad luck, but now it's become even more bad luck."
Everyone was whispering, their expressions showing uneasiness and fear.
Sun Zhenbang comforted everyone and said: "Please don't panic and cooperate with our police work. Now please line up and pass through one by one."
The police set up a cordon, with police and police dogs standing by, evacuating tourists and conducting secret inspections. Even the monks of the temple and the personnel of the research center were no exception.
Everyone was also very cooperative. When they thought that there would be two criminals in the team, they felt anxious and wanted the police to catch them quickly.
Qin Yu and Li Hai were dawdling, planning to sneak into the temple while everyone was queuing up to avoid police search.
Sun Zhenbang's eyes were blazing, and he kept staring at the movements in the team. If the criminals were really in the team, he would definitely be unable to restrain himself from taking action in order to avoid being noticed by the police.
Sure enough, the two people at the end of the line not only did not line up, but walked towards the temple.
"Why don't you two come and line up?"
Qin Yu and Li Hai froze, and their faces instantly turned ugly. "Something fell into the temple. Go get it first and then queue up."
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Sun Zhenbang squinted his eyes and felt more and more strange, "Why don't you turn around and talk."
Seeing that they didn't respond, Sun Zhenbang walked towards the two of them and said, "I want to ask you a question."
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Qin Yu turned around suddenly, with a fierce look in his eyes, pointed the black muzzle at Sun Zhenbang, and quickly pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
The thick smoke accompanied by the gunshot shocked everyone instantly. For a moment, the crowd screamed and dispersed like birds and beasts.
The moment he heard the gunshot, there was a bang in Sun Zhenbang's mind, as if time had frozen here.
After he visited Longyuan Village half a year ago, he felt that his physical fitness had improved a lot, his energy and energy were much stronger every day, and his hearing and vision were more than a little sharper.
At the moment when the bullet struck, the surrounding scenery became extremely blurry at this moment, and only the black bullet was seen, cutting through the air and speeding towards him.
With the shadow of death hanging over his head, Sun Zhenbang's face suddenly became extremely ugly, his hands and feet became cold, and he had already seen the end of himself being shot and falling to the ground.
"It's over! Just miss the point!"
However, at this critical moment of life and death, a strange and mysterious feeling suddenly came to my heart.
Sun Zhenbang's pupils gradually became larger, and purple energy swam and exploded in his body!
The originally fast bullets kept slowing down in my eyes, and I could even see the trajectory of the bullets!
How is this going!
Sun Zhenbang blinked and thought he was hallucinating. He was extremely surprised. Before he could react, his body had already reacted and turned slightly to the side!
At this critical moment, Sun Zhenbang's light movement actually perfectly dodged the fatal bullet!
And the moment the gunfire sounded, it had already attracted the attention of others.
Seeing this scene at this moment, the others did not dare to breathe loudly, and their faces changed with shock. But fortunately, it was a false alarm and Sun Zhenbang escaped!
The policemen didn't see Sun Zhenbang's movements clearly at all. They only knew that the bullet almost grazed his body, which was very thrilling. They couldn't help but exclaimed in their hearts: "It's so fast!"
Qin Yu looked at Sun Zhenbang in disbelief, and then at the pistol, surprised how he managed to dodge the bullet.
The distance between the two was not far, and the speed of the bullet was 300 to 450 meters per second. At such a close distance, Sun Zhenbang could not escape at all.
This is incredible!
Even Sun Zhenbang himself was very surprised.
I actually escaped? !
But seeing that the pistol was empty, Qin Yu reacted very quickly and quickly grabbed one person, grabbing his collar like an eagle catching a chicken. Li Hai on the side also hurriedly grabbed another person and took him hostage, forming a confrontation.
For a moment, the scene froze.
Team Zhou and Bai Yanfei, who were standing in the distance, looked stunned at this moment, "Just now, well, what a quick reaction!"
Bai Yanfei couldn't help but said: "Captain Zhou, Officer Sun is about the same age as you, but the difference in reaction speed is quite far."
Captain Zhou rolled his eyes, "What are you talking about? You're hiding from bullets, but who can do that?"
All the police officers had the same idea as the two of them. Sun Zhenbang's action just now was simply a stroke of genius, which is difficult for most people to do.
If it were them, they would have been shot and fell to the ground. I really don't know how Sun Zhenbang predicted it. His reaction speed was simply outrageous.
For a moment, everyone looked at Sun Zhenbang with inexplicable admiration and confusion.
But now is obviously not the time to care about this matter. Since Sun Zhenbang is fine, he must find a way to deal with the criminals.
"If you don't want to see blood, don't come here!"
Yunling police quickly surrounded the two people, and some police officers immediately evacuated the remaining people.
"Officer Sun, are you okay?"
On the other side, facing the slightly caring and surprised gaze of his companion, Sun Zhenbang shook his head, "I'm fine."
At this time, seeing Qin Yu and Li Hai holding hostages, Sun Zhenbang, who narrowly escaped, could only suppress all the doubts and surprises in his heart.
Fearing that the two men had hostages, the police did not dare to act rashly for a while.
Sun Zhenbang took a step forward and negotiated: "You have been surrounded and have no chance to escape. Don't make fearless resistance. Hand over the hostages and you will not be sentenced to death."
"The bullet just missed you, you are really lucky." Qin Yu smiled coldly, and the scars on his face became more and more ferocious.
"No need to talk so much, just give us a car."
After saying that, he put his gun to the hostage's head, "Otherwise, you know the consequences."
The hostage was a middle-aged man. He had never seen such a big scene before. Now Qin Yu pointed a gun at his head. He was trembling with fear, his face turned red, and he looked like he was about to cry.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Qin Yu said viciously: "Whether or not to kill you is not decided by me, but by these police officers."
The middle-aged man immediately looked at Sun Zhenbang, "Officer, please help me. I don't want to die. I still have a wife and children at home waiting for me to return!"
Li Hai kidnapped a young monk on the side. Compared with the middle-aged man who was frightened to death, the young novice seemed much calmer. He didn't say anything and just turned the rosary in his hand silently.
But the hands were trembling slightly, indicating that the little novice was not in a calm mood at this time.
Faced with such a situation, he was too young, so of course he would be scared, but he hid it very well and was very sensible and did not cause trouble.
Sun Zhenbang's face looked a little ugly. These two people were so arrogant. Not only did they openly shoot at the police, but now they also held hostages.
This is a rare major case in the province in recent years!
"Amitabha!"
Just at this moment, a Buddha chant sounded, breaking the deadlock.
When everyone retreated to the side for fear of being affected, the abbot walked out.
Sun Zhenbang frowned and signaled to other police officers to stop him, "These gangsters are dangerous, don't get close."
There was no fear on the abbot's face, "Let me persuade these two donors, not to mention that my disciples are still in their hands."
Sun Zhenbang didn't want to agree at first. He looked at the young monk and heard the host say, "The poor monk may have a way." After Sun Zhenbang hesitated for a moment, he told other police officers: "Protect the host."
The abbot took a step forward calmly and looked at the two gangsters without fear: "Amitabha, why don't the two donors put down their butcher knives and turn around?"
When the young monk saw the abbot arriving, his eyes lit up slightly, as if he had found his backbone, and even his original panic dissipated a lot.
"master--"
The abbot nodded at him, "Do you still remember the Heart Sutra I led you to recite yesterday?"
The young monk nodded, his young face full of seriousness, and he blurted out a familiar scripture, "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after walking in the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time, he saw that the five aggregates are empty, and he survived all the hardships."
What he recited was exactly the content of the "Prajna Heart Sutra". Many monks also recited the sutras outside the cordon, as if they drew fearless power from the sutras. Even in the face of gunmen, they still had no fear. Any fear.
The sound of whispering sutras floated under the gloomy sky, and as a muffled thunder sounded from the horizon, the sound of chanting sutras became even more sacred.
It seemed to have a calming force, and even the panic in people's hearts was calmed down a little. Raindrops fell unconsciously, but everyone seemed unaware.
But this is of no use to Qin Yu and Li Hai. To them, these sounds are like buzzing mosquitoes getting into their ears.
They are not good people, so how could they be swayed by the abbot's few words? This kind of brainwashing is useless.
Qin Yu's expression was unkind, and his triangular eyes released a fierce light.
"Bah, you bald donkeys, stay away. If you can, tell these policemen to let us go."
Li Hai also shouted next to him, "Yes, instead of trying to persuade us, why not persuade these policemen? Aren't we just two living human lives?"
But seeing that the police took no action, Qin Yu's expression gradually became cruel, "Since neither the monk nor you can make a decision, then I will help you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger directly towards the middle-aged man.
"boom!"
With the sound of gunshots, everyone's hearts trembled.
The bullet fell on the ground, causing quite a lot of sparks. The middle-aged man who was being held hostage was as stiff as a dead fish. He was obviously a little scared, and the bullet almost hit him.
Qin Yu was very arrogant and his tone was extremely cold, "Officer, my patience is limited. This time the bullet was not accurate, but it may not be accurate next time."
It's simply a clear threat!
The sky had completely darkened, and the dark clouds were like waves on the sea. In an instant, huge waves surged into the sky, and a dull rumble came from not far away, as if thousands of troops were coming, and even the outline of the mountains and rivers not far away became It became increasingly blurry, until finally only a black shadow remained.
The atmosphere in the air was somewhat depressing, making people almost breathless, and a lingering shadow hung over everyone's heads.
The faces of the monks turned a bit regretful. Seeing Qin Yu and Li Hai's completely unrepentant expressions, they shook their heads and sighed.
"This is a holy land of Buddhism. If you insist on killing indiscriminately here, the Buddha will definitely not forgive you lightly. Why do you do this?"
Qin Yu sneered at this, "Buddha? Even if Buddha's father comes today, he has to explain it here!"
His tone was arrogant, his expression was full of disrespect, and he was even more arrogant here.
The faces of the monks gradually took on a hint of anger, and Buddhists also have angry-eyed Vajras.
Even the rosary beads in the abbot's hand slowly stopped, and the aura on his body changed drastically. He was no longer as kind and kind as before, but he actually felt calm and powerful.
"In that case, don't blame the poor monk for being rude."
"Haha." Qin Yu and Li Hai burst into laughter. Apparently they didn't take the abbot's words to heart, and said sarcastically: "What can you bunch of bald donkeys do to me? You're just good at talking."
"It really makes me laugh to death. I've come to this point, and I'm still afraid of you stinky monks? Is it possible that you can still invite the Buddha to deal with us?"
As long as the police can make them fearful, no matter how many monks there are, it won't matter. If they can't carry it on their shoulders or lift it with their hands, how much of a threat can they pose?
Obviously other people present had the same idea. The people talked a lot and advised the monks to wait aside and leave professional matters to professionals.
Sun Zhenbang ordered people to continue negotiating with the gangsters, and he returned to the rear with the abbot and said: "Abbott, just leave the matters here to us. It is impossible for you to reason with these gangsters."
After all, the gangster still had a gun in his hand. In order to prevent the abbot from being harmed, he had to keep a distance from this group of people.
The abbot shook his head and said angrily: "These villains are doing evil under the eyes of the Buddha. How can I ignore them? Don't worry, the donor will take care of them."
Sun Zhenbang felt a little strange in his heart. He didn't understand why the abbot was so steadfast in his vows, but he just regarded it as a belief in his heart and didn't think much about it. He was about to persuade them to wait in a safe place. The next moment, he saw the abbot turned to look at an old monk aside. He ordered in a deep voice:
"Junior brother, please go to the Mahavira Hall to ask for the Buddha's talisman. This time we must kill evil spirits and exorcise demons!" (End of Chapter)
