After about a moment of burning incense, the young novice monk left and returned.
He clasped his hands together, leaned his upper body slightly forward and saluted: "Several donors, please follow me."
"Thank you, little master."
Zhao Xun returned the gift with his hands clasped, and then motioned to the Academy Youth League, Jia Xingwen, Wangcai and his group to follow.
The Zen Sutra Temple is very big, and it is really easy to get lost without a monk to guide you.
The young novice was very quiet, and other than walking at the front to lead the way, he didn't say a single unnecessary word.
As Zhao Xun walked, he listened to the Sanskrit sounds of the monks chanting sutras, and felt inexplicably calmer.
The little novice monk led everyone to twist and turn, and finally came to an inconspicuous courtyard.
The location of this courtyard is very remote, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it.
The little novice monk opened the door and said, "Several donors please."
Zhao Xun nodded, then stepped across the threshold and entered the courtyard.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can see a pipa tree planted in the middle of the courtyard, and there are also several green plants around it.
There are several paths paved with cobblestones in the yard, leading to different rooms.
"Senior brother, whose name is Ji'an, is the person that several donors are looking for. Please give me your permission, please."
After that, the little novice turned and left.
Zhao Xun observed it and saw incense burning in the main room, so he stepped in first.
The group of people followed closely.
The room is not big and can be seen clearly at a glance.
I saw a monk about thirty years old sitting cross-legged on a futon and meditating.
"Master Ji'an, I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Zhao Xun bowed deeply to the monk, and the monk stopped reciting scriptures, opened his eyes and stood up slowly.
"The poor monk is Jian'an, what do these donors do?"
Master Ji'an's face was neither sad nor happy, and there was no trace of ripples on his face.
"We are here for the theft case of Princess Xuanhuai's tomb, and we also ask Master Ji'an to cooperate in recalling the situation when we discovered that the princess's tomb was stolen."
Zhao Xun tried his best to make his voice not sound oppressive.
He knew that what monks hated most was when court officials took advantage of their situation to oppress others.
"It was the afternoon of three days ago. The poor monk left the Zen Sutra Temple and went to Fanchuan to beg for alms. He happened to pass by the tomb of Princess Xuanhuai and saw a hole drilled above the tomb. He immediately reported it to the abbot. After learning about it, the abbot took it very seriously and sent People go to Chang'an City and report to the Wannian County Yamen."
Zhao Xun nodded.
The time Ji An said was exactly the same as the time he got from Feng Hao.
Although Zen Sutra Temple is a large temple, there are still procedures to go through when reporting to higher authorities.
The biggest official that the abbot of Zen Sutra Temple has access to is the magistrate of Wannian County.
As for Wannian County reporting to Jingzhao Mansion, and Jingzhao Mansion reporting to the palace, that is another matter.
"Master Ji'an, can you go with us to the tomb of Princess Xuanhuai?"
"this…"
A look of hesitation appeared on Jian'an's face.
Monks are compassionate and take matters of death and life very seriously, and are worried about disturbing the deceased.
"Do the donors want to go to the grave?"
"We may go to the grave, but Master Ji'an can choose not to."
Zhao Xun knew what Ji An was worried about, so he simply gave Ji An a reassurance.
"That's good, that's good. In this case, the poor monk is willing to go with a few donors."
Zhao Xun was overjoyed.
After all, Master Ji'an is a local, and he must be more familiar with the location of Princess Xuanhuai's tomb than they are.
With Ji'an leading the way, they could find the tomb of Princess Xuanhuai more smoothly.
…
…
The group of people left the Zen Sutra Temple and headed towards Fanchuan. After a stick of incense, they arrived at the tomb of Princess Xuanhuai.
Zhao Xun took a closer look and saw that the tomb's seal was in the shape of a square bucket, with each side about 30 meters long, and the seal was 10 meters high. There are four earthen gates before and after the sealing of the tomb. In front of the tomb are a pair of stone sheep, a stone tiger, a stone figure, and a pair of stone pillars. The Shinto stele is "Chi Shou Gui Fu", and the seal inscription on the stele is "the stele of the late Princess Xuanhuai of the Great Zhou Dynasty".
The tomb of Princess Xuanhuai faces south, and the entire tomb passage is elongated due to the terrain.
Passing holes, patios, niches, corridors, and tomb chambers are all available.
"The thief's cave is right there."
Master Ji'an pointed in the distance, and Zhao Xun and others looked in the direction and saw a huge robbery hole in the northeast and north of the tomb.
"The passages are all in the style of earth caves with vaulted roofs, sealed with original rolled bricks. The niches are all in the style of earth caves, with pointed dome roofs on top, and the outer edges are sealed with original bricks."
"The corridor is built with blue bricks and has three stone gates inside. The three stone gates are composed of a lintel, door pillars, door leaves, thresholds, and door anvils. There is a crescent-shaped space above the lintel, with a square opening in the middle."
"The tomb is made of blue bricks, and the western half of the tomb was severely damaged. The eastern half of the tomb is relatively well preserved."
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou suddenly spoke up, as if he was seeing through a clairvoyance, telling the situation in the tomb one by one.
Damn it!
Zhao Xun was extremely shocked.
This Sixth Senior Brother is too strong, isn't it? People's Feng Shui relies on magic and utensils, but the Sixth Senior Brother's Feng Shui relies on Sharingan and Golden Eyes?
The boss is so scary!
"So are we going to the grave now?"
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou looked calm and relaxed at the moment, as if going to the tomb was as easy as going home to eat dumplings.
"Let me add one more thing, there is evil spirit here."
Hiss, everyone present, including Zhao Xun, gasped.
After Zhao Xun came to this world, he learned that there were monsters and monsters in this world.
He met the Corpse Chief at Yuzhen Temple in Zhongnan Mountain, and the Corpse Chief belonged to the demon category. But he has never seen a demon.
Even though Jia Xingwen felt the evil spirit several times, he never really saw the deity in the end.
Is there something evil again this time?
The Sixth Senior Brother is good at Feng Shui and is obviously much more sensitive to evil spirits and other evil things than Jia Xingwen.
In other words, what he said is much more credible.
"Excellent, excellent, Amitabha."
Master Ji'an, who had been silent until now, said in a deep voice: "Several donors, I think it's better not to go to the grave."
Before coming, Jian An had made it clear that he would not go to the grave. So this time it was simply to dissuade Zhao Xun and his party.
After all, if there is really something evil nearby, it will still be a great threat to everyone.
"There's no reason to shrink back when you're here."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan said indifferently: "What's more, if this evil creature really dares to appear, I can make his soul fly away and he will never be reincarnated."
After hearing these words, Zhao Xun felt a little calmer.
He has seen the cultivation level of the third senior brother. He can rely on his soul to leave the body to form a faceless man several times the original body. In addition, he is the third disciple of the Shanchang. His position is only behind the senior sister and the second senior sister. The strength is definitely reliable.
The Sixth Senior Brother said calmly: "This big tomb is quite interesting. I really want to go in and have a look."
The tenth senior brother was a fool and remained silent without commenting.
Wangcai shook his head repeatedly and expressed that he wanted to stay with Master Ji'an.
Jia Xingwen seemed a little hesitant.
"Ming Yun, it's up to you to decide this matter. After all, Mr. Feng came to you directly. You have the exclusive right to investigate this case."
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Zhao Xun.
