I am a judge in the Tang Dynasty - #83 - Chapter 83
At this time, Ci’en Temple has not yet been renamed Da Ci’en Temple.
And the incense is far less strong than after the name change.
The people living in Chang’an City would occasionally go there to offer incense.
Ci’en Temple is not big, with a temple enshrining Buddha statues and several low rooms behind it.
It should be the place where the monks in the temple usually live.
At present, there are only a dozen monks in Ci’en Temple, including the presiding officer.
Looking at them, they looked very haggard.
Most of the monk’s robes were patched and mended very frugally.
Even the monk shoes on his feet were mostly worn and had holes.
Such an appearance can be described by more than just the word ‘miserable’.
When Lin Xiu and the others came here pretending to be ordinary pilgrims.
I saw two monks sweeping the floor in front of the temple door.
Seeing Lin Xiu and the others approaching, he quickly stood up and stood aside, clasping his hands together and chanting ‘Amitabha’.
Lin Xiu smiled and nodded, imitating their behavior and returning the courtesy.
“Lin Xiu, what on earth are you doing here? Is it just for incense?”
Beside Lin Xiu, there was that annoying little goblin… Princess Changle.
Originally, Lin Xiu didn’t want to call her over.
After all, it is dangerous to come to Ci’en Temple. They are investigating the case of the flower-picking monk. How could the princess be brought here?
But Princess Changle couldn’t be driven away. She wanted to follow
Zhao Sheng, and after asking
, Princess Changle almost burst into laughter. Come here to offer incense.
As for the rest, I didn’t say much.
After Princess Changle took the initiative to dress up as a woman, she strongly asked to come with her.
But overall, Princess Changle is much better than Zhao Sheng. , looks far better than Zhao Sheng.
It is estimated that when the murderer sees Princess Changle, he will be more interested than Zhao Sheng.
“if not? Lin Xiu asked back.
“Hehe, how do I feel that you are here to handle the case? Otherwise, how could Zhao Sheng be allowed to dress up as a woman? To be honest, is it?”Princess Changle asked.
There was no way, Lin Xiu could no longer hide it.
He had no choice but to nod:”As long as you know, don’t publicize it everywhere. By the way, don’t call me by my name in front of the monks. , otherwise the case will be difficult to investigate!”
“Hehehe, I knew it was like this, what kind of case is it this time? Can I help?”
Lin Xiu was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with her.
This wasn’t really out for fun or to offer incense.
There were monks everywhere, and he didn’t know where the real murderer was hiding.
If the matter was revealed, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be that easy to find him.
At this time, they had already arrived in the main hall.
This is the place where the Buddha statue is located. It is not big and looks a bit old.
It has not been repaired for an unknown period of time.
Seemingly hearing that pilgrims were coming, an old man wearing cassock came out and quickly bowed to Lin Xiu.
“Amitabha, I didn’t know that the donor was coming to visit, so I missed my welcome from afar. I hope the donor will forgive me!”The old monk said very respectfully.
Lin Xiu smiled:”Master, there is no need to be polite. We came to the temple this time to fulfill our vows. We also specially brought some monk robes and shoes to other masters. I hope Master will not ask for them. refuse!”
After they finished speaking, Zhao Sheng and Li Si, who were dressed as porters, carried them over with the monk’s shoes and robes.
On one side of the ground, there were four large boxes.
After opening them, they were all filled with brand-new clothes.
When the young monks nearby saw it, their eyes turned green.
I’m afraid they didn’t know how long it had been since they had changed into new robes and shoes.
“Amitabha, the donor is a kind person. I will recite the Lotus Sutra to the donor every night in the future, and ask the Buddha to bless the donor and be healthy throughout his life!”
“Master, there is no need to be polite, trivial matters are not worth mentioning!”
Lin Xiu smiled and nodded.
After chatting with the old monk for a few more words, he walked into the Buddhist hall.
Lin Xiu held three sticks of incense and knelt down on the ground devoutly, chanting silently in his heart.
Princess Changle was not idle either, learning from Lin Xiu also knelt on the side.
He just closed his eyes for a while and muttered something.
Then he opened his eyes secretly and looked at Lin Xiu with a playful smile…
After a while. When Lin Xiu finished praying to Buddha, the old monk did not leave and stayed with him the whole time.
“Master, I have some sesame oil money here, it’s not much, just a token of my appreciation, keep it for future repairs and add a little help!”
As he spoke, Lin Xiu took out a money bag from his body.
There was a rattling sound inside.
Just looking at it for a moment, you can see that the money bag contains at least two or three pieces of loose money.
You know, these Money is not much, but for these extremely poor monks, it is still a lot of wealth.
“.Amitabha, thank you for your generosity. This humble monk will definitely mention it in front of the Buddha!”The old monk accepted the money with great excitement.
Lin Xiu smiled:”No, I came to Ci’en Temple today, one to fulfill my vow, and the other to stay here for a night. I want to sincerely feel the Buddha’s universal enlightenment. I don’t know if the temple can convenient?”
“Amitabha, although Ci’en Temple is small, there are still a few guest rooms. After Lao Na asks his disciples to clean it, you can move in. If the donor has nothing to do, he can wander around the temple and watch it for a while. When the sun sets, Lao Na personally visits Ask the donor to eat fast food!”The old monk said.
Lin Xiu nodded with a smile and was not polite.
He turned around and took Princess Changle to other places in Ci’en Temple.
Zhong Kui, Zhao Sheng and Li Si were responsible for going to other places.
Only Wang Fen and Meng Lang followed Lin Xiu and were responsible for protecting him.
Princess Changle had a confused expression the whole time.
She still didn’t understand what Lin Xiu was here to do. ), they still came to investigate the case.
But now they have no intention of investigating the case, and they still want to stay here. What’s going on?
Lin Xiu suddenly thought of something:”By the way, can you stay overnight tonight?””
“ah? overnight?”
Princess Changle was a little surprised.
She ran out secretly and couldn’t stay outside for too long.
If she stayed overnight…er… but after a second thought, Princess Changle laughed again.
“Hehehe, are you staying here all night? Princess Changle asked.
Lin Xiu nodded:”Of course, didn’t you hear what I just said to the host?””
“If so…you can consider it!”Princess Changle said with a smile.
This annoying little goblin.
Lin Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Just when he was about to walk forward, he suddenly heard someone next to him speaking in a sinister voice.
“Amitabha, this is a forbidden area in the temple, don’t go any further!”
