139 Azure Dragon Temple (2)
However, the White Phoenix was almost extinct on the mountain now, and it was all the fault of the Imperial astronomer.
One day, a physician from the Directorate of Celestials went to the White Phoenix Mountain to pick herbs and caught a few white phoenixes. After he brought them home for research, he discovered that the flesh of white phoenixes could boost yang …
When they arrived at the foot of the White Phoenix Mountain, the experienced and knowledgeable Lu Qing smiled as he spoke of this matter.
Song tingfeng’s heart skipped a beat, and he spoke hesitantly, “”Boss, I have a friend who’s not in good health. I want to give him a few white phoenixes.”
Min Shan and min Yingluo glared at him. What time is it? you’re still thinking about hunting game? what’s important is that. If the case is delayed, who’s going to be responsible? ”
Li Yuchun frowned and didn’t answer.
Xu Qi ‘an laughed. I came to White Phoenix Mountain this time mainly to find out about an old story. It’s not an urgent matter. Tingfeng, remember to come back quickly.
“Lord Xu, why don’t you let me go with song Tongluo? we can look after each other,” Min Shan said with a sullen face.
We need to look out for each other even when we’re shooting a bird? “You have a friend too?” Xu Qi ‘an glanced at him.
Min Shan felt that all the men were staring at him with a strange look.
Min yinluo was a little anxious, and after a long time, she finally said, it doesn’t matter if it’s an aphrodisiac or not. The main thing is that I want to have a taste of a bird that’s about to go extinct.
The crowd laughed. Xu Qi ‘an said with a straight face, ” I was just joking. The background of the Sang Bo case is very complicated. I don’t care where you go in Beijing, but once you leave Beijing, don’t leave the team.
The winding mountain steps ran deep into the forest. At the foot of the mountain, there was a huge Memorial Arch with a horizontal board that read “Azure Dragon Temple.”
The Azure Dragon Temple was not full of pilgrims, but it was not desolate either. Along the way, they could occasionally See nearby people going up the mountain to burn incense.
A luxurious carriage was parked beside the memorial Arch, guarded by more than a dozen armored soldiers.
Xu Qi ‘an was very familiar with this car. It was made of gold-threaded nanmu wood, and the details of the body were wrapped in Jade and gold foil. It was the carriage he had encountered when he had first gone to the Imperial Academy’s workshop.
The owner of the carriage had even asked Xu Qi ‘an to pitch pot and Exchange four hundred taels of gold for the Bodhi bracelet.
by the way, Daoist priest Golden Lotus said that the woman in the carriage has a history with me … Who could it be? gold Phoebe nanmu was used by the royal family, and the carriages of the eldest Princess and the second Princess were not like this. Could it be a Princess in the royal family? Or, the emperor’s concubine?”
“No, no, no, she’s definitely not a concubine. Don’t scare yourself.”
Even if she was a concubine, she had to be a beautiful woman at the level of his aunt … He added in his heart.
Xu Qi ‘an tied the horse to a wooden stake by the memorial Arch, leaving behind a fast hand from the government office and a Gong to watch over the horse. Xu Qi’ an then led the night watchman up the mountain.
After a few steps, Xu Qi ‘an’s feet went soft and he stepped on a sachet.
Today, instead of picking up silver, he picked up sachets?
He naturally bent down to pick it up and held it in his hand to examine it. The sachet was embroidered with complicated cloud patterns, with fine workmanship and expensive materials. It was not something that an ordinary rich family’s daughter could afford.
One side of the sachet was embroidered with the Golden ” Nan ” and the other side was embroidered with the ” Zhi “. The Golden tassels were tied into beautiful thousand knots.
Xu Qi ‘an smelled a pleasant scent. It smelled like perfume, like sandalwood, and also like the unique body fragrance of a woman.
“The people in front, wait …” A clear voice came from behind the crowd.
A young girl in light blue eyes caught up with him. She was not afraid of the watchman’s uniform. She pointed at the sachet in Xu Qi ‘an’s hand and said with relief, “”This was dropped by our Empress.”
Her hair was combed into a bun by a maidservant, but the material she was wearing was better than the average daughter of a rich family.
Xu Qi ‘an subconsciously looked at the luxurious carriage at the foot of the mountain.”Your Empress?”
“Don’t ask too much. Give me back the sachet.” The young girl’s tone was very aggressive.
“What fragrance pouch?” Xu Qi ‘an put the sachet away.
“You …” The young girl glared at him fiercely. just you wait.
Lifting her thick dress, she ran down the stone steps. Xu Qi ‘an did not leave. He stayed where he was and watched her approach the carriage and say something by the window.
“Ningyan, don’t cause any trouble. That’s a carriage reserved for the royal family.” Li Yuchun said with a frown.
Xu Qi ‘an was only investigating the case under orders. In brother spring’s heart, he was still his subordinate. Brother spring didn’t want Xu Qi ‘an to cause too much trouble during the investigation. Even if he could atone for his crimes in the future, he would offend people he shouldn’t have, and all his efforts would be in vain.
…. You don’t understand, that woman and I are fated!
Xu Qi ‘an shook his head and didn’t explain. He continued to pay attention to the carriage.
The ending disappointed Xu Qi ‘an. He vaguely saw the window open a gap, and the person inside seemed to be examining him.
It was too far away, but he couldn’t see the inside of the carriage.
The car window quickly closed and closed. A few seconds later, the carriage slowly moved away.
It seemed that fate had not arrived … “Let’s go and meet the abbot of Azure Dragon Temple,” Xu Qi ‘an said after letting out a breath.
…..
A group of night watchmen in official uniforms rushed into the temple and were immediately received by a Deacon.
The deacon was a fat monk with a round face and a kind face. He was in his early forties and put his hands together.”I’m the supervisor of Azure Dragon Temple, my Dharma name is hengqing. Please come in.”
He led Xu Qi ‘an and the others into the temple and enthusiastically introduced the history of Azure Dragon Temple. He claimed that it was the Orthodox inheritance of the West, that the temple cultivated Mahayana Buddhism and worshipped Buddha.
Xu Qi ‘an’s gaze swept across the Grand palaces and waved his hand. “Call your abbotship out, I have something to ask.”
Azure Dragon Temple was the only temple that cultivated Buddhism in the capital of Da Feng. As the deacon said, it was inherited from the Mahayana Buddhism of the West.
Xu Qi ‘an had done his homework before coming here. The abbot of Azure Dragon Temple was a fifth-grade Rushman and could fight better than any of them.
However, Xu Qi ‘an was not afraid at all, because the early stage of the Buddhist system was not good at fighting, except for eighth-grade monks.
The ninth rank of Buddhism was called the Shami. This realm was very interesting. The core secret was to keep the precept. If one did not break the precept within three years, he could advance. At first glance, it seemed simple, but it was not.
The Buddhist precepts were strict and complicated, and one might accidentally break them.
A rank-8 was a martial monk, not much different from a martial artist. He was very good at fighting.
The seventh stage mages and sixth stage Zen masters were not very good at fighting. It was only when they reached the fifth stage that they could be considered to have a qualitative change.
It was worth mentioning that when Xu Qi ‘an was looking up information in the Yamen’s case library, he found a very interesting point. The next rank after the ninth-rank acolytes was the Sorcerer.
He directly skipped the eighth stage monk.
There was no reason in the information, and time was of the essence. Xu Qi ‘an was too lazy to spend time studying the Buddhist system. He only guessed that there might be two completely different paths in the Buddhist system.
“His abbotship is meditating, so it’s not convenient to disturb him. If you have anything, you can tell me.” Hengqing led everyone into the tea room and ordered the young monk to serve tea.
“Is there a magic tool in the temple that can block the seer’s aura-gazing technique?” Xu Qi ‘an sat cross-legged on the futon and asked directly.
“What do you mean, my Lord?” “The temple doesn’t have such a Dharma artifact.” Heng Qing put his hands together and shook his head.
“Master, monks don’t lie.” Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes were sharp.
Heng Qing lowered his head and avoided Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes.”Everything I’ve said is true,”
“Does it mean that I can lie without restraint after passing the ninth stage of the novice realm?” Xu Qi ‘an put on a fake smile.
Hengqing lowered his head and ignored the cold gazes of the night watchmen.
Non-violent non-cooperation? Xu Qi ‘an was a little angry.
The next chapter is at night.
