Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 205 Catching the wind and the shadow, Qin Wenyuan's enlightenment

Qin Wenyuan said with a half-smile: "That's interesting. At the same time, hundreds of schools of thought emerged one after another. As the saying goes, it is better to believe that there is something than not to believe that there is nothing. I will treat these schools of thought as if they really exist."

"Now, every family needs something to announce their return to the world, so the thief's family will be framed like this, and they may not bear it."

"Next, let's see."

Hearing Qin Wenyuan's meaningful words, Dezhi suddenly felt goosebumps on the verge of rising.

He was a little worried, and said, "Master Qin, what do you mean..."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Master Abbot, don't worry, I am very interested in this matter. With me, no one can make a big wave. Master, you don't have to worry about me, Mr. Qin. Just send someone to follow, Master. Go about your own business."

Seeing that Qin Wenyuan was unwilling to say more, Dezhi could only nod helplessly no matter how worried he was.

After all, in his capacity, in front of Qin Wenyuan, he was really not good enough.

He is not qualified to let Qin Wenyuan do anything.

He looked at his apprentice and said, "Jiecheng, from now on, you can stay with Lord Qin carefully. Remember, Lord Qin must do whatever he asks seriously, you know?"

Jie Cheng nodded quickly: "I obey."

Dezhi bowed to Qin Wenyuan again before leaving slowly.

Qin Wenyuan looked at Jie Cheng, and saw that Jie Cheng was 24 or [-] years old, he was a little nervous at this moment, as if he was afraid of himself.

Qin Wenyuan laughed and said, "Master Jiecheng is nervous, and I don't know how to eat people."

Jiecheng hurriedly said: "Master Qin, you can call me Jiecheng, but this little monk can't bear the word "Master Qin, your master."

Qin Wenyuan smiled lightly.

He smiled and said, "Jie Cheng, well, enough nonsense, can you tell us about the situation in your temple?"

Jie Cheng nodded quickly: "Back to Lord Qin, there are 140 monks in our Huasheng Temple, of which two are of the Zhi generation, the abbot and the head of the Bodhidharma Academy, Master Zhiyuan."

"The next is the Jiezi generation. There are 20 people in the Jiezi generation. After that, there are 80 people in the Xiaozi generation. The people after that are the youngest Dezi generation."

140 people, not many people.

Living in such a large and resplendent temple, the per capita area, my good guy, is bigger than the imperial palace.

Moreover, 140 people can raise [-] taels of silver in less than three days. I have to say that they are really rich!
"Jiecheng, you Huasheng Temple shouldn't be short of money, right?" Qin Wenyuan asked, "I see that there is an endless stream of pilgrims, and the number of people keeps coming. It seems to be very lively."

Jie Cheng scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Um... under normal circumstances, we don't have to worry about money in the temple. Many wandering monks like to rest here because our hospitality is the best."

"generally?"

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flickered, and he said, "That means there will be special circumstances?"

Jie Cheng nodded and said, "Recently, we have been short of money."

"Oh? Why?" Qin Wenyuan asked curiously.

Jiecheng said: "Master Qin doesn't know something. Three months later, it will be time for the debate on Buddhism and Taoism. This time, the debate on Buddhism and Taoism will be held in my Buddhist temple for the first time, and it will be held in my Huasheng Temple. Therefore, in order to handle this matter well, the host decided to renovate the Huasheng Temple to welcome the debate on Buddhism and Taoism in the best condition."

"Therefore, we are a little tight."

The debate on Buddhism and Taoism?

When Qin Wenyuan heard these four words, a light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

From the peddler's search for vines, he found that Beichen might be a Taoist priest.

And now there is another way...

That means that there may be some kind of connection between Beichen and Taoist priests or Taoist sects!
Before, Qin Wenyuan didn't understand why the mysterious person asked him to come to Buddhism to investigate. He felt that this had nothing to do with Beichen.

But now...

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Qin Wenyuan's mind.

The original incomprehension, the original confusion, suddenly became clear at this moment.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

This may be the mysterious veil of "Bei Chen", he finally found an opportunity to lift a corner!

Qin Wenyuan was a little happy because he finally found out the important reason why Beichen might let him participate in the case.

But on the surface, he didn't show the slightest bit.

He looked at Jie Cheng who was still a little nervous, and said, "What's going on with this debate about Buddhism and Taoism?"

Jiecheng didn't dare to hide it. He said: "The debate on Buddhism and Taoism is held every two years. In fact, Buddhism sends a master, and Taoism sends a Taoist leader to choose a topic for debate."

"And the winner shows that his Buddhism or Taoism is more profound. If Buddhism wins, Taoism must recognize the depth of Buddhism within the next two years."

"Similarly, if the Daoist sect wins, the Buddhist sect must also recognize the depth of the Daoist law."

"In short, the debate between Buddhism and Taoism is very important for both my Buddhism and Taoism. Moreover, the Taoism won the past few times, so my Buddhism has always been preparing."

Qin Wenyuan nodded.

It is said that it is a debate between Buddhism and Taoism, but it is actually a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

This is a battle of ethics!

Both require creditors.

Naturally there will be conflicts.

And as the masters in the eyes of ordinary people, of course they can't kill believers by killing them.

Therefore, in such a relatively peaceful way, I will explain the depth of my thoughts in a way of discussing the Tao.

Whoever wins will be able to overwhelm the opponent with a publicity.

In this case, believers will naturally choose to believe in the winning side more.

After all, whoever wins will show that whoever is more profound and more awesome!

Therefore, for the Daoist sect, to keep their current achievements, they must win.

For Buddhism, if they want to expand their territory and have more believers in the lobby, then they must win.

Therefore, the debate on Buddhism and Taoism is far more bloody than what Jiecheng said.

This is a war between the two worlds of Buddhism and Taoism without gunpowder.

No wonder Dezhi cares so much about just a venue.

This Huasheng Temple is already resplendent enough, but it still feels insufficient and needs to be repaired.

This is to show off one's own strength in front of the Taoist sect!
"Then you don't have enough money, what should you do?" Qin Wenyuan asked.

Jiecheng smiled and said: "We have already told the believers that we hope that many believers will help us. With the support of the believers, it will not be a big problem in the future, and the abbot has already said that the money for repairing the temple is not a problem. Let us study the Dharma well and not worry about these things."

Qin Wenyuan nodded, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart... Really awesome, and really rich!
It is much better than the income of his long-term tea shop with one-third of an acre of land.

In his opinion, if he wanted to repair it to make it more magnificent, it would not be possible without two thousand silver taels.

And that's it, De Zhidu waved his hand and said, don't worry, it's a small matter, and it will be taken care of in minutes.

Even Qin Wenyuan admired this!
To repair the temple, it costs about two thousand silver taels.

Then redeem the relic, and another five thousand taels of silver!
This is all rushing to the two barriers of seven thousand silver.

Then they did it in less than three days...

Qin Wenyuan didn't know what to say.

He can only say that opening a temple really makes money!

Those common people are really willing to spend money!

This is real money, not something that can be compared with a few free evaluation tickets and monthly tickets.

Seeing that Qin Wenyuan didn't speak, Jie Jie cautiously asked, "Master Qin, where are we going to investigate?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "There's no rush, let's take a stroll first."

When Jie Cheng heard the words, he really wanted to remind Qin Wenyuan that time was running out, less than four hours away.

How can you walk around casually?

But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only follow Qin Wenyuan anxiously.

As Qin Wenyuan walked, a three-dimensional map of Huasheng Temple appeared in his mind.

As he walked around the entire temple, the three-dimensional map of Huasheng Temple in his mind was completely perfected.

He randomly found a place to sit down and said, "Jie Cheng, can you get me some tea?"

Jie Cheng nodded quickly, asked Qin Wenyuan to wait, and left quickly.

After Jiecheng left, Qin Wenyuan slowly closed his eyes, and deduced in his mind the route of the thief after he stole the relic.

Even if there was a chance to take away the relics on the beams later, because the relics were lost, that hall has always been paid attention to.

Moreover, the relics are not small, so the thief wants to take the relics without being noticed by anyone, and hide them in a place where they will not be found even if they search thoroughly again... This is not an easy task .

Qin Wenyuan seemed to be wandering just now, but he was actually looking for the best place to hide the relics.

And after his search, he found three places where the relics are hidden and the most difficult to be found.

Then start the reverse derivation with those three locations as the end point.

Deduce the route to the three places where the thief took the relic from the main hall.

On these three routes, you will meet many people on the road.

And the thief must have a reasonable reason to go to those three places, otherwise, if he goes there rashly, he will be easily suspected.

Therefore, those who enter and exit the lost relic hall will not be suspected!
Go to those three places, very reasonable person!

Combined with the particularity of those places...

Qin Wenyuan's brain was running crazily, and some people had already been excluded by him.

There are only a few people left, and these few people are the people who are most likely to follow their status!

If other people knew that Qin Wenyuan had settled the case like this, they would definitely be dumbfounded.

After all, this kind of calculation ability, as well as the ability to deduce and infer, is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Qin Wenyuan didn't even have contact with anyone, and didn't even look for evidence carefully, so he already narrowed down the scope of the suspect's identity.

This ability, even in later generations, few people can achieve.

"Master, I'm back."

At this time, Di Renjie suddenly came to Qin Wenyuan.

Qin Wenyuan opened his eyes and asked directly, "Renjie, how are you doing?"

Di Renjie said: "I have already asked, Jiezhi's reputation in the temple is not very good, and he is a bit selfish, but because Jiezhi and Abbot Dezhi seem to have some relatives, so he has been staying in the temple. No one dares to say anything."

"However, Jiecheng said that this time, Jiezhi offended Lord Shaoqing and made Huasheng Temple's reputation worse. It has already touched the bottom line of the temple. If he makes any mistakes, even Abbot Dezhi will not be able to keep him. "

"Success?" Qin Wenyuan was a little surprised.

He looked at Di Renjie and said, "You even fooled yourself into quitting?"

Di Renjie scratched his head, and smiled: "I just bumped into him accidentally, and he seemed to be making tea for his teacher, so the student made up his mind."

"However, Chengcheng is really timid and wary. The student took his favorite tea and chatted with him about the taste and type of tea for a while before letting him relax."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and nodded: "That's right. It's a good job to meet people who are on guard, do what they like, and let them open their hearts slowly."

Being praised by Qin Wenyuan, Di Renjie suddenly became happy.

Then Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Jiezhi and Dezhi are still related?"

He shook his head and said with emotion: "It seems that even in this temple, it is unavoidable to be so sophisticated!"

Di Renjie nodded: "Who's to say no, Master Dezhi looks so kind-hearted, and at first glance, he is a high-ranking monk... Ke Zhizhi really lost the face of Master Dezhi!"

Qin Wenyuan looked at Di Renjie feeling there, couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

He said: "Okay, go and help Xugou. Xugou is asking monks for his alibi. You have sharp eyes, so go and watch to prevent someone from cheating Xugou."

Di Renjie nodded. He was also afraid that Xugou would be deceived. After all, according to his understanding, Xugou served as a guard in the Twelve Shadow Thorns, and he was the last of the Twelve Shadow Thorns in terms of intelligence.

"Then teacher, the student is leaving now."

Di Renjie cupped his hands respectfully, got up, and left quickly.

Not long after, Jie Cheng came with the brewed tea.

After Qin Wenyuan drank for a while, he said, "Master Qin, it's time for lunch, let's go to the dining room and have some fast food."

…………

Qin Wenyuan touched his stomach, and he was indeed a little hungry.

Immediately, I missed the delicious meals my wife Changle cooked.

But if you are away from home now, you obviously can't do this, and it will be considered vexatious.

Moreover, he had never eaten in a temple in his two lifetimes. Qin Wenyuan was also a little curious, so he nodded with a smile: "That's fine."

When the two went to the dining room, they saw that there were really many people here.

Pilgrims and monks are all eating fast in an orderly manner.

Jie Cheng said: "We have prepared a fast meal for Lord Qin, please come here, my lord."

I still have a small stove?

Qin Wenyuan followed Jie Cheng into a separate room, and as expected, there was really a small stove.

I also have special treatment!
I saw that the table was already full of meals.

They are all vegetarian dishes, but they look good and smell good.

Qin Wenyuan sat down, picked up the tea and took a sip first. It was made with mung bean stuffing. It tasted really good.

Qin Wenyuan's eyes lit up, he raised his head and saw Jie Cheng standing aside, he said, "Sit down and eat together."

Jie Cheng shook his head, saying it was not appropriate.

But Qin Wenyuan forced him to sit down, and he directly added a few pieces of tea to Jie Cheng, and said, "Come on, try it, this taste is really amazing."
