Chapter 161 Master Virtue
Zuo Zhong thought about it, and decided to list this person as one of the key suspects first. If it turns out to be a misunderstanding, then that's fine. If not, he must have a deeper purpose.

Master Hongwu on the Dharma altar talked for more than an hour, and stopped temporarily when he was tired. The little novice brought fresh water, melons and fruits, and the people below also took the opportunity to move around. Zuo Zhong walked away quietly.

Walking to the side door of the main hall, Zuo Zhong looked around and found no one nearby, so he walked in, and asked Gu Qi as soon as he entered, "How is the photo shoot, the film is not cheap."

Gucci glanced at the subordinates who were taking pictures, and reported: "No problem, all these dozen subjects were photographed, and there are three others of special concern."

Zuo Zhong didn't expect that Gu Qi also noticed the abnormality of these three people, and waved his hand: "Don't tell me, let me guess, it's Zhanjing, Benzhi and Shenku."

Gu Qi knew that they would definitely not be able to hide it from Zuo Zhong, so he showed admiration: "Yes, their reaction is very strange, section chief, you really have sharp eyesight."

Zuo Zhong skipped the flattery, and warned: "Next, focus on Haichao Temple's deep suffering. If this person is a spy, he is a big fish. Maybe we can find more things from behind him."

Gu Qi knew the meaning of these words. Relying on his deep position, he was able to get acquainted with the royal relatives in Ningbo and obtain important information easily, but he did not do so. Could such abnormal behavior be to hide something? For example, a task that is more important than intelligence.

He agreed with Zuo Zhong's judgment, and made a suggestion: "Yes, section chief, I know the humble post, should I ask the brothers left behind in Mount Putuo to pay more attention to this person, and let him be released elsewhere as appropriate."

Focus all your energy on one goal now?Zuo Zhong felt that it was too early, before he had any solid evidence, these dozen or so people were all suspected, so he must not be careless.

He looked outside, and found that Master Hongwu had begun to lecture again, and said, "No, these dozen or so people must be monitored. Put a few more people at the Shenku three, and I'll go first."

Zuo Chong walked back into the crowd, Zuo Xuechen put down his teacup and glanced at him, since the last time he prayed, his grandson has become more and more mysterious, and he doesn't know what he said to Master Hongwu.

Thinking of Zuo Zhong's occupation, Zuo Xuechen felt that it was better not to ask, and turned his eyes back to the altar.

When Master Hongwu finished his lecture, it was already noon, and the Huotou monk of Tiantong Temple came out with a burden, on which were steaming steamed buns, cabbage soup, and stacks of rough porcelain bowls. This was the lunch prepared for the benefactors present. , Everyone was already hungry, and they gathered around one after another.

Of course, some fastidious families disdain to compete for these clear soups with little water. For example, the Zuo family brought insulated food boxes, which were filled with meals from the most famous vegetarian shop in Ningbo City.

Zuo Zhong observed suspicious targets while eating. The masters also ate those steamed buns and vegetable soups. They didn't have too high requirements for food, and they ate simple tea and light meals with relish.

There was only one monk staring at the vegetarian food on Zuo's table, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with the food provided by Tiantong Temple, Zuo Chong frowned, it was just him, why was this master so strange.

He was vulgar when he just listened to the scriptures, and now he looks like he is greedy for food and drink, but the people around him seem to be used to him for a long time. Could it be that this is still a living Jigong?

What's more interesting is that the data shows that he really stayed in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou for a period of time. After traveling among the people, he entered Putuo Fodingshan Temple and gradually became an important Buddhist monk.

Zuo Zhong thought it was interesting, but he didn't remove this person from the suspicious list. His performance was a kind of disguise, and there were many lurking methods.

Just as he was thinking about it, the little novice next to Master Hongwu avoided the crowd and came to Zuo Zhong, folded his hands together, and said in a low voice, "Master Zuo, please go and ask me if you have something to do. Please come with me."

It seemed that the old monk was also worried, he didn't know how he was doing today, seeing that everyone was eating, Zuo Zhong quietly followed the little novice and left.

Master Hongwu was resting in the monk's room, saw Zuo Chong and asked the little novice to leave first, and asked, "Donor Zuo, did you find that person?"

Considering that people have spent so much time helping him, Zuo Zhong revealed a little bit: "Not yet, there are some suspicious objects, by the way, do you know Master Ben?" the opinion of.

Master Hongwu twirled the rosary, and said uncertainly: "He is an eminent monk of Fodingshan Temple. He has been in contact with him a few times in the past. He has a lot of research on Buddhism. I often gain something from talking with him, that's all."

He knew this one, a rather strange Buddhist disciple. He also saw the laziness of the other party during the lecture just now, but this is normal. Everyone has their own understanding of the Buddhist scriptures, and sometimes they don't care or even oppose it.

Zuo nodded emphatically: "Master, please keep it secret. The Fa conference can also end on time. We will think of other ways, and I will send someone to notify you when there is a result."

Master Hongwu looked normal, and he recited the Buddha's name: "I hope that the left benefactor can find that person as soon as possible, and eliminate the evil for the country, and also remove a hidden danger for my Buddhist school."

Once the news that Buddhist disciples are Japanese spies comes out, it will inevitably have a negative impact on Buddhism, and it will be beneficial to all parties to deal with this matter in a low-key manner.

Is this considered Master Hongwu's obsession? Zuo Chong heard the string knowingly, and said with a smile: "This matter is highly confidential. Even if the target is confirmed, we will pay attention to the method when arresting and interrogating, and we will never cause trouble for everyone." You know, don't worry."

"Amitabha, thank you benefactor Zuo." Master Hongwu closed his eyes after finishing speaking.

Knowing that the old monk was about to see off the guests, Zuo Zhong bowed lightly, turned and left, but when he reached the threshold, Master Hongwu behind him said a word.

"I hope that the left benefactor will put the country and the nation first in the future, do less evil, and never do things that make relatives hurt and enemies happy. If there is a need in the future, Tiantong Temple welcomes you at any time."

Zuo Zhong raised his right hand, waved it, and walked out the door without stopping. The old monk had his own attachments, and Zuo Zhong also had his own attachments. The methods were different, but the same goal.

In the evening, the Dharma meeting was successfully concluded, and the believers left contentedly. Only Buddhist disciples and some repair workers were left in the entire Tiantong Temple. The copper lock came to the well again.

His eyes were red, he was fumigated by the information department last night, and what was even more hateful was that not only the lights in the meditation room were like this, but even the toilet was like this.

"Zuo Zhong, who lacks great virtue, Wang Ba." Tong Suo looked around vigilantly, for fear of being overheard by the spies.

Afraid of what would happen, a figure slowly came out from the corner, and the worker walked up to Tongsuo again and began to draw water, saying: "Keep an eye on the three people, Zhan Jing from Putuo Temple, Ben from Fodingshan Temple It’s just that Haichao Temple’s deep suffering, their things have to be checked.”

Tongsuo muttered: "Understood, if you ask that Shen Dongxin to cooperate with me, he will be fine."

Stealing things is a technical job, or a division of labor, and no mistakes can be made in any link. Tongsuo and Shen Dongxin cooperate very well, and I am afraid that a newcomer will implicate him.

The worker didn't speak, but tapped the edge of the well with his finger to show that he had received it, and then slowly disappeared into the darkness. Tongsuo was startled when he saw that this group of people was too dark.

Back in the monk's room, Tongsuo prepared the washing utensils for the old abbot without looking sideways, ignoring the three suspicious objects around him, he was self-aware, what he was good at was stealing, not surveillance.

But things were not as he expected, Master Zhan Jing of Putuo Temple suddenly said: "What do you think of the scriptures that Master Hongwu said?"

Ben Zhi and Shen Ku were the only ones around him, and it was obvious that Zhan Jing was asking these two people, Tong Suo could only keep his ears open while he was busy.

The master of Fodingshan Temple took off his monk's clothes and kicked off his monk's shoes. Suddenly, an indescribable smell spread out. He almost fainted from the copper lock. With the added oil lamp, the monk's room is no longer a place for people to stay. .

Frowning bitterly, he glanced at the book, fanned the air in front of his nose with his monk's robe, and said in a deep voice, "It's very rewarding. Master Hongwu is worthy of being a famous monk in the southern country. I don't know what enlightenment Master Zhanjing has."

Zhan Jing's face turned pale, but as an eminent monk, he couldn't swear, so he took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "I don't agree with Hong Wu's idea, it sounds a bit deviant."

He was stunned for a moment, this statement is a bit impolite, but they are still in Tiantong Temple, it would be embarrassing if they were heard, and shouted to the little novice: "Evil energy, you go to the door and watch."

Tongsuo bowed respectfully and slowly exited the monk's room. Standing at the door, the voices in the room could be heard clearly. Some monks in Mount Putuo agreed with Hongwu's idea, some opposed Hongwu's idea, and some didn't care.

Tongsuo listened, with a hint of sarcasm on his face. These masters seemed to be no different from the martial arts masters in the Jianghu. They were always dissatisfied with their peers. He also listened to the scriptures today and thought it was very good.

At this moment, Ben, the stench maker, just yelled: "You still don't let people sleep. If you are not convinced, why don't you argue with Master Hongwu today, and you are pretending to be a bullshit eminent monk here."

Tongsuo laughed out loud, and quickly covered his mouth. These masters are not as good-tempered as they are in front of outsiders, especially Zhan Jing from Putuo Temple, who is said to like to teach young monks the most.

There was no sound in the meditation room, and finally the old abbot of Guanyin Temple said: "Go to rest early, and set off for Mount Putuo tomorrow morning, or you won't be able to catch up with the passenger ship, evil energy, come in."

Tongsuo obediently returned to the meditation room, and was staggered by the complex chemical substances. He immediately opened the door with his backhand, and the cold wind blew in, dispelling the smell.

At first, he thought he was going to be scolded, but Tongsuo clearly noticed that the old abbot slowly let go of his frown, Master Zhanjing heaved a sigh of relief, Master Shenku smiled, only Ben was wrapped tightly in the quilt.

　Grandpa passed away yesterday, and they are all sent regularly, and they will take time to type on their mobile phones, and they will not be interrupted.

　　When our grandparents pass away one by one, we know that our youth has passed; when our parents have gray hair, we know that we are no longer young;
