Chapter 27: The Temple of Great Mercy and Grace
March day, fast change.
When I went out in the morning, the sky was still clear.
But when he came out of the yamen, the sky became gloomy.
Su Dawei looked at the sky and felt a little bad. He didn't bring rain gear, and if it rained on the way to Wannian County, he would become a soup chicken. I have the heart to wait, but when I think about it, God knows when it will have to wait. Stolen goods or anything, it doesn't matter. It was important that he take this opportunity to go to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple. Yesterday was weird, and the next one is sure to be busy. If he misses today, he can only wait for the next rest, otherwise he will not have a chance.
Forget it, let's go to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple first, and then see the situation.
Thinking of this, Su Dawei hurriedly quickened his pace.
Perhaps because of the change in the sky, the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry.
Rushed to Jinchangfang, it was already noon.
When Su Dawei entered through the back door of the Great Ci'en Temple according to the path in his memory, he finally couldn't help the rain that had been holding back all morning, and it poured down with a spring thunder. The rain fell very violently, and in the blink of an eye, the heavens and the earth were connected by the rain curtain.
In the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, it is very deserted.
Perhaps because of the weather, when Su Dawei walked into the Great Ci'en Temple, there were not many pilgrims.
Most of the monks returned to the meditation room.
The construction site was even more empty and deserted.
Su Dawei was soaked with rain all over his body, standing in the heavy rain, looking around.
He soon found the big tree in his memory, so he walked quickly forward and came to the bottom of the big tree.
Boom, a thunderclap.
Su Dawei's heart trembled in fright.
It's common sense not to stand under a tree on a thunderous day.
However, Su Dawei had no other choice. If you don't do it at this time, if you want to do it again, you will be in trouble.
He crouched under the tree, pulled out a dagger, and plunged it into the ground repeatedly.
Well?
Looks like I found it!
Su Dawei felt that the dagger seemed to be stuck to some hard object.
He hurriedly put away the dagger and dug into the ground with both hands. I don't know if it's because it's wet with rain, the soil is very soft. Su Dawei's hands, like two sharp claws, quickly dug a deep pit under the roots of the tree. In the deep pit, there is an item wrapped in oiled paper, which seems to be quite large. Su Dawei didn't care about wiping the muddy water off his face, he excitedly sped up, dug the pit a little bigger, and then reached out and took out the oil paper package.
Click!
A silver serpent sprang out of the clouds and fell fiercely, slashing at the tree.
Su Dawei felt a surge of air and directly flipped him out. After rolling twice in the muddy water, he only felt dizzy. When he looked up, he saw that the great tree, from top to bottom, was cut in half as if it had been cut by an axe.
Wrapped in oiled paper, in the muddy water not far from him.
"Is it thundering?"
"I just saw someone on the other side of the tree."
"Let's go and see ......"
From the meditation room in the distance, there was movement.
Su Dawei slowly got up, and saw a figure shaking and running from the meditation room.
Not good!
He was startled, struggled to get up, picked up the oil paper package, and ran away without saying a word.
"Someone looks like it?"
"What is he running?"
"Oh no, don't be a thief."
"Don't run, the Buddha Gate is pure, how can you be rampant."
The monks shouted loudly, attracting more people.
However, Su Dawei's speed was very fast, and before the monks arrived at the construction site, he had already run to the gable, kicked on the wall with one foot, and his body rose with strength, grabbed the wall with one hand, and jumped over the gable with a bang.
Inside the gable, there was a shouting and scolding.
It's just that the strength of the wall temple is too high, even if the monks want to chase it, they can't cross the wall as easily as Su Dawei.
When they went out, Su Dawei had already slipped away!
Great Mercy and Grace Temple, translation field.
Master Xuanzang stood in front of the window of the scripture building and looked out.
The direction he looked at was the construction site.
From his position, he could vaguely see the burning light of the tree after it was struck by lightning.
At this time, Master Xuanzang was nearly fifty years old.
It may be that in the early years, he traveled west to seek Buddhist scriptures, and encountered hardships along the way, which made him look a little old.
After returning from Tianzhu, he devoted himself to the translation of Buddhist scriptures.
Emperor Taizong asked him to go out of the mountain several times, but he refused on the grounds of translating Buddhist scriptures.
The Great Mercy and Grace Temple is the main place where he translated Buddhist scriptures. Almost 70% of the time in a year is spent in the translation field. The monastery tried to ask him to be the abbot several times, but he didn't agree. In his opinion, everything is less important than translating Buddhist scriptures. However, what happened at the construction site today shocked him.
"Master, do you want me to chase after you?"
Behind Master Xuanzang, stood a head.
He wore a gold ring, his blond hair was scattered, and he wore a gray monk's robe.
"No, more is better than less, those things buried there are a scourge after all. Now it has been taken away, and it has been a disaster. Actually, this is very good, for us, it is better to translate the Buddhist scriptures as soon as possible. ”
The monk had long sharp-beaked monkey gills and was short.
After listening to Master Xuanzang, he was a little unwilling.
But he didn't dare to talk back to Master Xuanzang, so he had to say: "In this way, it will be cheaper for that thief." ”
Su Dawei escaped from the Great Ci'en Temple and immediately turned into a secluded Fangqu.
Due to the heavy rain, there was no one in Fangqu. He ran all the way along the fangqu, and then, after making sure that there was no one around, he jumped over the fang wall and jumped onto the street. Fortunately, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there were no people on the streets. After coming to the street, Su Dawei was sure that there were no pursuers behind him, so he could be regarded as breathing a sigh of relief.
Wiping a handful of muddy water from his face, he looked at the oiled paper package in his arms.
The portion is not light, but it is heavy!
He looked to the left and right, and saw a shed not far away, so he ran away.
The rain began to slow down.
Su Dawei waited in the shed for about a stick of incense, and when he saw the rain, he became smiling, so he left in a hurry.
He first went to the county government of Wannian County, found the head of the county office, and after identifying himself, the team leader took the package.
"This little thief is really strange, he stole something, but he didn't want to hide it, but threw it in Qinglong Temple."
The head of the team quipped: "I think it was weird yesterday, and the thief panicked when he heard about it, so he didn't dare to take it for himself." ”
"By the way, is it really weird?"
The head of the team is named Changwei, and when he speaks, he is a little unscrupulous.
Su Dawei smiled: "What's weird, it's just someone pretending to be a ghost." ”
"Hahaha, that's right, it's pretending to be a ghost. Got the weirdness, didn't you? ”
Su Dawei didn't answer this conversation. If it was Yang Yizhi or Jiang Maha, maybe it would be foaming at the mouth. But he couldn't. He's just a bad guy and he doesn't necessarily get into any trouble if he talks too much, so it's best to keep his mouth shut.
Fortunately, Changwei also knew the rules here, and after teasing a few words, he didn't say any more.
"Well, is it the missing item over there?"
"That's right, it's a stolen item."
"Well, take an inventory of the things, sign and sign here, and you can take them."
"Thank you, team leader."
Su Dawei counted the items according to the list, signed and signed the pledge, and then said goodbye to Changwei with the stolen goods.
This stolen goods are indeed the lost items in White Horse Lane.
It was Zhou Liang who contacted a thief in Chang'an Prison, and after stealing something, Zhou Liang handed it over to an errand officer of the county government of Wannian County. After that, the errand pretended to find the stolen goods in Qinglong Temple, which was taken over by Chang'an County and returned to the owner.
With such a turnaround, no one will have a loss.
Zhou Liang will find an excuse to release the thieves in Chang'an Prison early; The errand servants of Wannian County will be rewarded for this; Su Dawei was able to enter White Horse Lane to investigate the situation in the name of investigating the scene. It's just that no one thought that there would be a Goguryeo ghost pawn in the White Horse Alley. However, in the end, there was no deviation, and it can be regarded as a happy ending.
From this point, it can be seen that Su Dawei's Taoism is not enough.
Without Zhou Liang, there would be no way to carry out this series of actions.
It can be said that this is also an ability. Bad people really need very good connections and at the same time have flexible means. Even more so with bad handsomeness. Most of the people they have to deal with are the heads of the various squares, not the kind of gangsters. Without enough connections, friendships, and means, it is impossible to sit firmly in the position of bad handsome.
This is also the reason why Su Dawei is reluctant to take over the bad guys.
To put it mildly, bad handsomeness is a thankless errand.
He doesn't have enough qualifications, and he doesn't have enough prestige. It is not difficult to suppress those group leaders, but it is not easy to get the other party to cooperate. Rather than this, it is better to let Jiang Maha be uncharacteristically handsome. In this regard, Jiang Maha's ability is not bad.
When I came out of the yamen of Wannian County, it was already afternoon.
The dark clouds dispersed.
A blazing sun hangs high, and the sun is exceptionally bright.
The number of pedestrians on the street increased one after another.
Su Dawei did not return to the county government immediately, but went home.
From Wannian County back to Chang'an County, although they are all in Chang'an City, the distance is not close.
It was estimated that when he arrived at the yamen, it was dark. Instead of doing this, it's better to go home and make a business tomorrow.
He wasn't afraid that Jiang Maha would trouble him.
Su Dawei estimated that Pei Xingjian's side would eventually choose Jiang Maha to take over the bad guys.
As soon as Wei Shan died, there was indeed no more suitable candidate than Jiang Maha. As for Pei Xingjian, he wanted to promote Su Dawei...... Su Dawei just took it as a joke. He believes that with Pei Xingjian's ability, it should not be difficult to figure out the mystery.
When I got home, it was getting dark.
As soon as the street drum of Chengtianmen was sounded, the pedestrians on the street were also in a hurry.
After yesterday's turmoil, although the imperial court has already released it, someone is pretending to be a ghost. But people can still be nervous and scared. Whether it's pretending to be a ghost or not, God knows! But if it's really weird, then what?
This tense atmosphere even made Chongde's room much more deserted.
Su Dawei returned home, and Di Renjie had already returned.
Liu Niangzi was coming out of the kitchen with a pot of tofu soup, and when she saw Su Dawei, she opened her mouth, and immediately showed an expression of disgust.
"Ami, did you fall into the ditch?"
Su Dawei's appearance at this time is indeed not very appropriate.
Although the clothes were dry, they were dirty and looked very embarrassed.
Di Renjie was also surprised, and said, "I heard that the yamen asked you to go to Wannian County to do business, how did it become like this?" ”
"It was raining on the road and I accidentally fell."
"How old is a person who can fall down even if he walks?"
Liu Niangzi said: "Hurry up and wash and change your clothes." The way you look at you affects your appetite. ”
Ha, you're really a mother!
Su Dawei agreed, and he was about to enter the house.
It's just that before he crossed the threshold, he heard Liu Niangzi shouting behind him: "You dare!" I only cleaned it today, and if you go in like this, it's dirty, and I have to clean it tomorrow. Go rinse first, and I'll get you a change of clothes. ”
Su Dawei withdrew his foot in embarrassment, and Liu Niangzi walked over and took two packages from him.
"What's it that weighs so much?"
"Mother, be careful, there is evidence inside, and it will be sent to the yamen tomorrow."
"Got it!"
Liu Niangzi still looks very aggressive, but it is obvious that her movements have become much gentler.
Su Dawei was not afraid that the two packages would be lost, so he walked to the well, took off the dirty clothes on his body, fetched a bucket of water, and poured it from head to toe. Then while rubbing the soap corner, he asked, "Big brother, what happened to the county lord looking for you yesterday?" ”
