Qin Lin raised his feet and stepped into the mountain gate of the Zhulin Zen Temple, a large number of brocade clothes official schools also swarmed behind him, the county's horse step archers Zhang Bow and arrows to seize various advantageous positions, and there were also court officials and soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, divided into water and land to surround the hill where the Zhulin Zen Temple is located.

The corner of Yuzhu's eyes twitched, his expression changed a few times, and he put his palms together and said: "Qin and Luo, the two donors, the poor monk is polite." Although our temple is small, it is also a famous temple of 500 years, the Buddha and the Bodhisattva are compassionate in their hearts, and the two bring these many swords and soldiers, and the Buddha and Bodhisattva must not look good on their faces. ”

Luo Dongyan smiled: "Qin Shaobao is the pillar of the imperial court, and he has repeatedly defeated the rebels and rebels, which can be described as an outstanding meritorious service, and he is also regarded as a thorn in the side of the annihilation and rebels, so he has to strengthen his vigilance." If you are offended, you have to ask the old monk to take care of it more, and put a few more pillars of incense on Qin Shaobao in front of the Buddha and Bodhisattva! ”

Yuzhu lowered his head and groaned, seemingly a little reluctant.

"Emptiness is color, color is emptiness, hasn't the master been able to break it?" Qin Lin opened his mouth leisurely and glanced at Yu Zhu playfully: "As long as you have good thoughts in your heart, holding a knife in your hand is just to eliminate demons and defend the way; If you have the intention to do evil, even if you hold fragrant flowers in your hands and recite Buddhist scriptures in your mouth, you will still fall into the devil's path. Master, do you say yes? ”

"Yes, yes, Qin Shizhu's wisdom is deep, but the poor monk is obsessed," Yu Zhu smiled very reluctantly, he was in a cold sweat at Qin Linsan's words, and he was secretly afraid in his heart: Could it be that Qin Demon has discovered something?

Qin Lin visited the Bamboo Forest Zen Monastery surrounded by everyone, the four King Kongs, the Eighteen Arhats, the Daxiong Treasure Hall looked at the past everywhere, the five hundred years old temple is very interesting, the Buddha statue is gilded and colorful, the palace is antique, and the ancient Bai Sensen in the courtyard.

The only thing that is a bit bad is that the bamboo forests around the temple have all become yellow, and they have been or are dying, which is the rainy season of spring in the south of the Yangtze River, but it looks like a late autumn scenery.

Qin Lin pretended to be confused, and asked in surprise: "Master Foolish Bamboo, everything is reviving in spring, why is the bamboo forest in your temple withering?" Could it be that the weather is unfavorable, or the geography has changed? ”

Yu Zhu didn't mean to hide this, and said with a smile: "So that Lord Qin knows that bamboo will die when it blooms, and these bamboos have bloomed earlier this spring." The bamboos planted around our temple always take more than 40 years to bloom, and the poor monks have spent 70 years in vain, and they have seen these bamboos bloom when they were still in their twenties as a small novice.

In short, after the end of the year, when there is a long drought and no rain, and the soil is dry and hot, the bamboo will bloom, but in which year it will bloom, it can be met but not sought. It is precisely because of the flowering of bamboo that the temple has collected some bamboo rice, and now that I think about it, it seems that the Buddha and Bodhisattva specially gave it to the Qin donor to enjoy! ”

Yu Zhu was already wary of Qin Lin in his heart, and just when he asked about the death of the bamboo forest, he took the opportunity to talk about it, wanting to talk about it from Qin Lin's mouth.

Oh? Qin Lin's eyes flashed, and he said quietly: "There is no rain for a long time, and the soil is dry and hot? This year's rain is not very scarce, why is the soil near your temple dry and hot? ”

"Uh, this ......" Abbot Fool Bamboo knew that he was speechless, and he regretted that he couldn't give himself a big ear scraper, he shouldn't have talked too much in front of the Qin Demon Head, now it's okay, if he finds out any clues, what he said just now will become a self-defeating confession!

Thanks to the convenience of the old bald donkey, he hurriedly smiled and said: "It didn't rain in early spring, and the sun came out for a few days in a row, and the earth warmed up, and the bamboo bloomed." A grass and a tree also have a sense, presumably because he foresaw that Qin Shaobao was about to come, so he opened it in advance according to the Buddha's decree and formed a bamboo to feast on distinguished guests. ”

"That's the case, that official is very close to the Buddha and Bodhisattva," Qin Lin smiled, changed the topic, and did not delve into it.

Foolish Zhu was so frightened that cold sweat soaked all over his body, and secretly said that this Qin demon was really powerful, and he was afraid that he would be caught by him if he made a slight gaffe, so he didn't dare to talk about it anymore, and accompanied him to walk down honestly, pointing to a statue of Buddha and a mural to tell the origin.

At the same time that Qin Lin was strolling around the court, accompanied by Yu Zhu and Luo Dongyan to visit the Zhulin Zen Temple, Niu Dali led the Jinyi officials to set up defenses in various parts of the temple in the name of protecting Qin Shaobao's safety, and inspected every temple and meditation room.

But after searching the whole temple, there is no place to accommodate the coinage workshop, several halls are furnished with Buddha statues, the four corners of the Buddha statues are dusty, the cloth curtains are hung around the spider webs, and the outdoor open space is only stone carved incense burners, there is no furnace for casting copper coins, there are a lot of ashes on the ground, but they are left by the burning of incense candles, not charcoal used to cast coins.

It's weird, everything here looks normal!

Niu vigorously stretched out his fingers like mallets and shaved his scalp fiercely, Rao was thick and fine, and he was also confused at this time.

Lu Yuanzhi had been following Qin Lin's side, and when he saw this, he glanced at his old partner, and then deliberately dropped a few steps and waited for Niu Dali.

"Old Niu, I heard what Brother Qin said just now, it seems to say that there are some problems with the land around the Zhulin Temple......" Lu Yuanzhi lowered his voice and repeated the conversation between Qin Lin and Yuzhu, and said: "Old Niu, look, could it be hidden underground?" ”

"Impossible, right?" Niu Dali's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe it.

To cast money, there must be a furnace, there must be a cooling pool, to pile up copper, charcoal and a large number of copper coins, and there must be an area for a large number of craftsmen to live.

What's more, it takes a lot of air to smelt copper in a furnace, and if you dig space underground, it's just half the effort, no, it's a thankless effort, who would do such a stupid thing? It's stupid!

Suddenly, while walking and looking ahead, Qin Lin Chang, who walked to an attic, laughed: "Hey, I often hear that it is April in the world, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. Presumably, the earth's veins are warm, so the flowers and plants bloom earlier than elsewhere. ”

"Lord Qin is here, it is the flowers that welcome the distinguished guests!" Foolish Zhu replied with a smile, gritting his teeth secretly in his heart, when Qin Lin left, he must ask someone to pull out the jasmine.

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, he rubbed his fat chin thoughtfully: "Maybe, there is really a problem underground, old cow ......"

Before he finished speaking, Niu Dali had already hurried away, and he knew what he should do.
