Starting from midnight, Chang Feng spent a full hour and a half, carefully checking almost every inch of the floor and walls of the Main Hall twice.
Nothing!
Chang Feng didn't know that at the exact moment of Yin Shi, the women under the underground palace would be stabbed.
What he was worried about was that if the women could not be found before dawn, the prince would have to drive back to the palace to host the royal hearing.
Zhang Fengling and Liu Xiaoyan couldn't find them but didn't tell them. Ji Xiao will also accuse him and the prince of crimes in front of the emperor.
The prince's position is now stable and he cannot be punished easily. To kill Chang Feng was just a matter of words from Emperor Cheng Hua.
Chang Feng was a little anxious.
Zhu Youtang noticed his anxious look.
Zhu Youtang walked to Chang Feng and whispered: "Calm down. Wynn said that confiscating homes is your specialty."
"I believe that as long as you calm down, you will be able to find clues."
Chang Feng said: "I obey His Highness's teachings."
Chang Feng took a deep breath. Then began to re-examine the Mahavira.
All areas of the Main Hall were carefully inspected.
There are only three places that have not been checked - the three Buddha statues enshrined in the temple.
The three Buddha statues are the Buddha of the past life - the ancient Buddha of Lantern; the Buddha of the present life - Sakyamuni; and the future Buddha - Maitreya Buddha.
The three Buddha statues represent the return of time to one thought.
These three Buddhas are about one and a half feet high. Could there be a secret entrance or something hidden in their stomachs?
Chang Feng said to Fatty Xu: "Let's go up to the Buddhist platform and check the three Buddha statues!"
When the two of them came to the Buddhist altar, they raised their legs to climb up.
Ji Xiao exclaimed, "What are you going to do? If you blaspheme the Three Buddhas, you will be punished!"
"Oops!" Ye Guang actually pulled out his sword and placed it on Ji Xiao's neck.
Ji Xiao said angrily: "How dare you point your sword at the imperial advisor?"
Ye Guang sneered: "Those boneless civil servants are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you. I have already died eight times in Liaodong!"
"You've earned it by living to this day! If you die, it won't be a loss to have the current imperial advisor as your back-up!"
Ye Guang, a reckless man, only admires one person in his life: Ma Wensheng.
Ma Wensheng was framed by Li Zi Province and secretly demoted to the position of Minister of War in Nanjing. Before leaving Beijing, he said five words to Ye Guang: protect the prince.
Ye Guang remembered these five words Ma Wensheng said.
Today someone dared to kidnap the girl the prince liked. In order to find them, Ye Guang really dared to trade his life with the imperial master!
Ji Xiao shouted to Zhu Youtang: "Your Highness, please restrain your generals!"
Zhu Youtang closed his eyes and said nothing.
Ye Guangze shouted to Chang Feng and Fatty Xu: "What are you two little brats still doing in a daze? Just do whatever you need to do to investigate!"
"If the Three Buddhas get angry and let them strike me, Ye Guang, with thunder from the sky, it has nothing to do with you!"
Chang Feng and Fatty Xu climbed onto the Buddhist altar. Search carefully behind the three seated Buddha statues.
Suddenly, Chang Feng discovered clues on Maitreya Buddha's back.
There is a one-foot-square recess on the back of Maitreya Buddha!
Could it be the mechanism that opens the entrance to the secret passage?
Chang Feng pushed it with his hand, and there was indeed something fishy! The recess actually popped out!
It's a pity when the recess pops out. Chang Feng was disappointed. Just a small copper drawer.
Inside the copper drawer, there was a pile of winding hairs. It's a little thinner than the men's.
Changfeng held the copper drawer, got off the altar, and came to Jixiao: "What are these?"
Jixiao was stunned for a moment, then he lied and said, "Ah, Maitreya Buddha's big belly can tolerate things that the world cannot tolerate."
"These trouble threads were left by pilgrims and put into the belly of Maitreya Buddha to pray for relief from disasters!"
Ye Guang is not only experienced in many battles on the battlefield, but he is also a vanguard in the Fengyue Field.
He glanced at the winding hair on the drawer and said angrily: "Jixiao, are you fooling a ghost? What trouble silk? This is obviously a maid..."
Ye Guang guessed right.
In the words of later generations, this Jixiao was a pervert.
Every time he insulted a common girl, he would tear off a winding hair and hide it in a copper drawer as a souvenir.
Ji Xiaoyi closed his eyes: "Amitabha. The poor monk doesn't know what General Ye is talking about."
This copper drawer bristle was an unexpected discovery. But it has little to do with finding secret passages and secret rooms.
Chang Feng put down the copper drawer, climbed up to the Buddhist altar again, and searched twice more. Still have no clue.
Time passed moment by moment. Getting closer and closer to Yinshi.
Changfeng got off the Buddhist altar and stared at the three Buddha statues.
Xiao Jing, Zhu Youtang's personal eunuch, saw that Chang Feng had been investigating for a whole day but could not find any clues. He reminded Zhu Youtang in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you want to go back to the palace first?"
Zhu Youtang didn't want to give up looking for the woman he fell in love with at first sight. He said: "Just wait a little longer."
In despair, Chang Feng could only cram into the Buddha's feet and pray to the Buddha: "Buddha, if you are truly merciful, please help me find those missing women and Xiaoyan!"
I wonder if the Buddha really appeared.
A gust of wind blew into the Main Hall. The giant candle next to the Buddhist altar is swaying!
The flickering firelight illuminated one place - the left palm of Gautama Buddha.
Chang Feng's father is a Buddhist. There is a statue of Buddha enshrined in the home.
Ordinary sitting Buddha statues have the Buddha with his legs crossed. The five fingers of the right palm point straight to the ground. Hold the Buddha's seal with your left palm and place it on your knee.
However, in the seated Buddha statue in the Mahavir Palace, the little finger of the left palm does not conform to the Buddha's seal, pointing slightly below the knee.
It seems that Buddha's little finger is reminding the world that there is something under his knees.
Chang Feng observed very carefully!
This is a clue left by the leader of the craftsmen who made the Buddha statue to atone for his sins.
At the beginning, Jixiao ordered a man-made Buddha statue, hidden a secret passage under the Buddha statue, and excavated an underground palace. The leader of the craftsmen knew that Ji Xiao did this, and he was doing something immoral.
He deliberately crooked the little finger of the Buddha's left palm to point at the mechanism that opened the secret passage.
Later, the project was completed, and Ji Xiao wanted to keep it secret. Let the monks kill all the craftsmen.
This clue has been preserved.
Ji Xiao later noticed this anomaly. The mechanism of the secret passage connecting the Buddha's knees is extremely sophisticated. It's not good to start making modifications again.
Chang Feng climbed onto the Buddhist altar. Look along what Buddha's little finger is pointing.
Sure enough, there was a one-inch square gap three feet below the Buddha's knees.
Changfeng pressed his thumb towards the gap. He heard a crisp "click!"
Immediately afterwards, the entire Buddha statue made a huge sound of gears turning: "Click!"
Chang Feng quickly jumped off the Buddhist altar.
Everyone stared at the Buddha statue. After a while, something astonishing happened.
"Boom!" The base of the Buddha statue began to rotate.
There is no solid Buddhist altar under the base. It is a secret passage that can accommodate three or four people.
There is a hanging ladder hanging on the secret passage, leading directly to the underground!
Zhu Youtang stepped forward and took a look at the secret passage. He asked Ji Xiao: "Master, what is this?"
Ji Xiao's face turned livid: "This, this. The Buddha also had to poop. This is the Buddha's latrine."
If this scene that happened in Dayongchang Temple was made into animation by future generations. Countless black vertical bars will definitely appear on the faces of Chang Feng, Zhu Youtang and others.
A dignified national master, he claims to be the most eminent monk in the Ming Dynasty. He even said the words "Buddha pooped"?
Are you trying to fool two idiots?
