In the beginning of a poem of seven killings, I use the article to kill ghosts and gods

Chapter 33 Night candle flower?Buddhist Temple in Daliang Kingdom
"Qin and chess, words and music, poetry and painting, these are the subjects to be tested and taught in the recruiting literary society."

In the evening of the next day, at the yamen gate of Mingziying, Lin Buyu was explaining to Xu Ye the subjects to be taught at the Wenhui tonight.

"It's just the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Xu Ye was stunned.

"It's not that easy. Talent recruitment is different from teaching piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting at ordinary literary meetings. The candidates must cooperate with the test companions. For example, one person composes music, one writes lyrics, one draws, and one writes poems."

Lin Buyu sighed.

Xu Ye's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he said to himself:

"If this is the case, maybe it can really help a little."

For example, although he doesn't know how to play the piano, he is actually pretty good at chess, and he doesn't know how to draw, but he is good at copying poems, and he doesn't know how to compose music, but he has a lot of words in his head.

"Don't put too much pressure on me. I didn't intend to pass the Wenhui at this time, but I just didn't want to be laughed at by Liu Muxuan and his gang."

Lin Buyu comforted Xu Ye.

"Are you not stressed?"

Seeing Lin Buyu comforting himself with two big dark circles under his eyes, Xu Ye complained in his heart.

"Night!"

Just as the two were about to get into the carriage, the burly Iron Face suddenly rushed out of the yamen in a hurry.

"Eh? Silly girl, you're here to pick up Xiao Ye again."

Seeing Lin Buyu standing in front of the door, Tie Mian showed a meaningful look.

"Brother Tie Mian." Lin Buyu slightly nodded at Tie Mian, "Talk slowly, you two."

She quickly got into the carriage as if fleeing.

"Brother Iron Face, is there something wrong?"

Xu Ye looked at Tie Mian curiously.

He stayed in the file storage room of the yamen all day today to read the files, and learned some things about Confucian martial arts practice and dealing with ghosts, so he met Tie Mian in the morning.

"Your waist tag." Tie Mian handed a bronze waist tag to Xu Ye, pointed to the two large characters engraved on the waist tag, "This is the ghost name given to you by Yan Jun, and you don't need to use your real name in the future. "

Xu Ye picked up the waist card, and then read out the two words on the waist card: "Ye Zhu."

"What do you mean?"

He looked up at the iron face.

"Yan Jun's name is very random, and he often comes with a pen. When he gave me the ghost name and iron face, he actually scribbled on the paper while playing chess with others."

Stern smile.

"Ok."

Xu Ye no longer pursued the meaning of the name.

"By the way, there is one more thing that you must be very interested in."

At this moment, Tie Mian smiled at Xu Ye with a mysterious face.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Ye put away his badge and looked at Tie Mian curiously.

"The case of the Cao family was brought back by Yan Jun."

Iron Face grinned.

"Called back? What's the reason?"

Xu Ye regained his spirits all of a sudden.

Although he looked down on it on the surface, he was a little upset after all that his credit was taken away.

"The exact reason is unknown, I only know that Lord Yan reprimanded Wu Juan, and Wu Juan called Sun Wuchang into the room and yelled at him, and asked them to re-investigate the case with Six Flags."

Tie Mian said with a smile on his face, as if his revenge would finally be avenged.

"Maybe it's really the same as what you said at the beginning, Xiaoye. There is something else hidden in this case, or else I will mention your deduction to Zhou Wuchang?"

He then added another sentence with a mysterious face.

"It's not urgent, Brother Tie Mian, please help to inquire first, and find out why Yan Jun brought this case back."

Xu Ye shook his head.

"Alright, let's wait and see what happens. Just like what you said that day, it's a blessing in disguise."

Tie Mian nodded with a smile.

It can be seen that he is still in a good mood.

"Brother Iron Face, if there is nothing else, I will go first."

Xu Ye looked at Lin Buyu who was in the carriage in front of him and began to tap the edge of the bed with his fingers, and then turned his head to look at the iron face.

"Okay, you go."

Iron Face nodded
……

On the way to Lanruo Temple.

Inside the carriage.

"Yezhu... Yan Jun gave you a good name."

Xu Ye just sat down firmly, and Lin Buyu, who was opposite him, looked out of the carriage and said something leisurely.

"Where is it?"

Xu Ye asked curiously.

"The night candle flower is a kind of flower that can bloom even in a place shrouded in ghost fog. Many animals and birds living in the wasteland rely on its protection to survive."

Lin Buyu looked out the car window and explained.

"The name of the flower?"

Xu Ye was slightly disgusted.

"By the way, what kind of place is this Lanruo Temple? There is also a Buddhist temple in Daliang?"

He suddenly poked his head out and asked Lin Buyu.

"Why can't Daliang have a Buddhist temple?"

Lin Buyu looked at Xu Ye inexplicably.

"Uh, I want to ask why the Confucian Cultural Association is held in a Buddhist temple."

Xu Ye prevaricated with a sly smile.

"Although Daliang established the country with Confucianism, the ancestors taught us and other disciples to use the strengths of hundreds of schools for their own use, so they did not reject Buddhism. Many great Confucians also studied Buddhism intensively, and some eminent Buddhist monks were also familiar with Confucian classics."

Lin Buyu explained to Xu Ye.

"Can eminent Buddhist monks also have mana?"

Xu Ye suddenly became interested.

"Of course." Lin Buyu nodded, "It is said that thousands of years ago, a certain Buddhist monk used his own power to cross the wilderness of the Western Territory covered in ghost fog and save millions of evil spirits. It is a pity that this holy monk finally Still died in the hands of ghosts and gods, and the Dharma has not been passed on to others, Daliang Buddhism has declined since then, and for more than a thousand years, most Buddhist monks stopped at the position of Arhat."

"Can this kind of existence be beheaded by ghosts and gods?"

Xu Ye was a little surprised.

"Ghosts and gods, that is the most powerful existence that even a saint can kill."

Lin Buyu looked at Xu Ye solemnly.

"Miss Buyu, Lanruo Temple is here."

At this time, the voice of the carriage driver suddenly sounded.

"Get out of the car, you will take a tour with me in Lanruo Temple tonight, you don't need to pay too much attention to the Wenhui."

Lin Buyu crossed his fingers and stretched.

It can be seen that she is under a lot of pressure, but she really doesn't have too much expectation for this article.

……

In front of Lanruo Temple.

When Xu Ye and Lin Buyu got out of the carriage, the radiance of the holy objects in the sky had already been extinguished, but the lanterns hanging in the temple had already been lit up, making the inside as bright as day.

Inside and outside the courtyard, there are monks and tourists passing by in twos and threes from time to time, which is very lively.

"Aren't you afraid of being watched by ghosts when you hold a literary meeting at night?"

Feeling the cool breeze all around, Xu Ye couldn't help muttering as he looked at the plaque on the gate of the temple, whose name gave off an ominous feeling.

According to his current knowledge, most of the cases related to ghosts in the capital actually occurred at night when the brilliance of the holy objects was extinguished, and the temple was located in the wilderness, so the probability of accidents should be very high.

"The candles and lamp oil in these lanterns have been lighted by Buddhist monks. They are considered sacred objects of Buddhism. There is even a holy Bodhi tree in the temple. The abbot himself has obtained the Arhat status. Ordinary ghosts dare not even look at it. "

Lin Buyu pointed to the red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the temple, and said disapprovingly.

"Even lamps and candles are sacred objects, rich."

The corner of Xu Ye's mouth twitched.

Although Lin Buyu said so, Xu Ye still did not relax his vigilance. When he entered the temple, he observed the surrounding terrain and furnishings very carefully.

"The gate of Lanruo Temple has three entrances. The first entrance is the Tianwang Hall behind the front yard, the second entrance is the Daxiong Palace, and the third entrance is the Miaofa Hall and the Sutra Pavilion in the backyard."

"The three examinations of the talent-seeking literature meeting, piano and chess, words and music, poetry and painting, will be conducted in this order in the Heavenly King Hall, the Daxiong Hall, and the Miaofa Hall."

Seeing Xu Yedong looking around, Lin Buyu explained to him as he walked.

"In addition, when entering the Hall of Heavenly Kings, Abbot Huineng will send a disciple to ask questions in front of the door. This is an extra test, not included in the official test, but if you answer well, Lanruo Temple may Abbot Huineng will favor you and accept you as a disciple of Lanruo Temple."

When he said the last sentence, Lin Buyu turned his head to look at Xu Ye, with a sly smile on his lips.

"Farewell, I just want to be strong, not bald."

Xu Ye flatly refused.

"Senior Sister Silent!"

As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly King Hall, a delicate girl with bright eyes and bright teeth came towards them quickly, calling Lin Buyu's name.

"She came anyway."

After seeing the girl's appearance, Lin Buyu immediately frowned.

"Who?"

Seeing Lin Buyu's troubled expression, Xu Ye asked casually.

"My little junior sister Bai Zijin in the Holy Medical Department, a scholar who likes to compare and hates people."

Although Lin Buyu said the last three words "learn from others", although he spoke very quietly, his tone was the most emphatic.
