Chapter 244 The first confrontation

People outside didn't know that Daxiangguo Temple had been turned upside down, and they all went to the right Yemen to watch the girl team. Few people passed by here, and one of the imperial guards guarded the mountain gate, but kept a leisurely one.

The gatekeeper had nothing to do, but Li Changfeng was devastated.

Twelve people disappeared without a trace, and the two he personally followed were lost.

The people he stayed outside didn't even see their shadows.

These people are not in Daxiangguo Temple, nor are they haunting the streets. Could it be that they can fly into the sky and escape from the ground?

Su Ting came out of the palace and has already gone to the Zhang family, and he will come to the Daxiangguo Temple soon. If he is still at a loss, he may not escape punishment.

The prison house was still leading the monks to assist Zhang's house in a large-scale search. There was a lot of noise and knocking on the door. He stood on the roof of the bell tower and watched to see if he could find a frightened bird or two, but found nothing.

Instead, one of his subordinates came in from the mountain gate, looked around, and seemed to be looking for him.

Li Changfeng jumped up and landed in front of his subordinates, his eyes still scanning around: "Say."

The subordinates whispered: "King Jin is here."

"Jin Wang?" Li Changfeng suddenly became suspicious, thinking of the battle for the crown prince.

Could it be that what happened tonight was instigated by King Jin?
But if King Jin instigated him, shouldn't he stay in the palace to wash away his suspicions?

Confused, he raised his legs and strode towards the mountain gate. While walking, he told his subordinates: "Go to the roof and watch, don't let a single fly out."

At this time, a rough voice yelled angrily from a monk's room in the distance, and then saw a figure jumping up from the Datong courtyard holding an Emei stick, and fled across the road.

Li Changfeng was overjoyed, and ordered his subordinates to follow, while he went to see King Jin with great strides.

He was in a hurry, took three steps in parallel, and rushed to the mountain gate quickly, then stopped suddenly in front of the steps and looked in front of the mountain gate.

In front of the mountain gate stood a group of guards with knives, clever servants, and a middle-aged man in a straight gown, surrounded by the crown-like jade-like, majestic King Jin in the middle.

King Jin stood in front of the mountain gate with his hands in his sleeves, his face sinking like water, and seemed to be angry. He was looking up at the lintel of "Daxiangguo Temple" hanging on the mountain gate.

The handwriting on it is straight and horizontal, like a lotus standing in a pond, and the pen is so dry that it seems to be dead, as if it has penetrated through the decayed world of mortals.

Looking at these four words, he temporarily calmed down.

When he was waiting for Xie Chuan just now, he had already thought of a countermeasure, so his face was full of anger, and he did not restrain himself when he saw Li Changfeng.

Averting his eyes from the plaque, he looked at Li Changfeng, straight to the point, and wanted to enter the Daxiangguo Temple to find the presiding elder Zhizhen.

Li Changfeng saluted with his hands crossed, and told the King of Jin in a gentle manner that the imperial army was tracking down the key criminals, and now they are not allowed to enter or exit here.

King Jin asked: "What if this king wants to enter?"

Li Changfeng frowned, and was about to say that the imperial guards would bestow a gold medal "as if I were here in person", when King Jin had already stepped up the stone steps.

King Jin's eyes were stern, and he looked straight at Li Changfeng. Every step he took up was not like walking on stone steps, but more like stepping on the heads of the imperial guards.

No matter what kind of thieves it is, and no matter what the imperial guards have today's favor, he just wants to go in right now, not to mention Li Changfeng, even if Su stopped coming, he would go in.

Huang Ting was one step behind King Jin, behind Huang Ting were the servants and guards, none of them panicked, they all walked in following the master's footsteps.

Inside are dragon pools and tiger lairs, mountains of knives and seas of fire, and they can walk on foot.

King Jin approached the door step by step, Li Changfeng made him take half a step back, and at the same time heard the sound of chaos from behind.

I don't know whether the thief who appeared just now ran away or was caught.

He was so anxious that he blocked King Jin's way and lowered his voice: "My lord, don't make things difficult for me."

King Jin sneered, raised his leg and continued walking inside.

Li Changfeng took a deep breath, and suddenly pushed the knife halfway out of the scabbard in his hand.

Just after the flash of the sword, the guards behind King Jin slammed, and all pulled out their long swords. Huang Ting stepped forward, stood in front of King Jin, and shouted sharply: "Presumptuous!"

Two people came out of the guards, and they went straight to King Jin, glaring at Li Changfeng, Li Changfeng secretly had a headache, but he didn't dare to give in.

If King Jin really had something to do with the thief tonight, and King Jin would take him out, he would not be able to explain it.

But he watched King Jin step forward, and he didn't have any intention of retreating, so he was timid.

I didn't expect this gentle prince to have such an aggressive side.

King Jin stared at him with a half-smile, then withdrew his gaze and continued to lift his legs.

Li Changfeng put the saber back into its sheath silently, stepped aside, invited King Jin in, and at the same time followed King Jin to see how he behaved.

After King Jin came in, he didn't look around, but went straight to the monk's room in Daxiangguo Temple, asking to see the abbot Zhizhen.

Zhizhen was originally called Monk Haining. He was proficient in Buddhism when he was twenty years old. He had a brilliant tongue and was invincible in Xiangguo Temple. Only when the three karmas of "body, speech, and mind" are quiet, do I speak.

The four characters in front of the mountain gate of Daxiangguo Temple were written by him after he became enlightened.

Today, the Lord once gave him purple clothes and the dharma name Zhizhen. He doesn't care about the purple clothes, and the dharma name is the same.

You should call him Zhizhen, you should call him Haining, you should call him Jiang Po, the lay name, and even hear that his childhood companion came to worship Buddha and suddenly called him by his nickname "Wangxinglai", and he also answered.

He has broken free from the shackles of the name, which is deeply rooted in his heart.

There are as many people in Kyoto who want to see him as crucian carp crossing the river, but it is all due to luck, he also has no fixed place in Daxiangguo Temple, never opens a forum to discuss Dharma, only says "seeing one's nature is Buddha", everyone can become Buddha.

Jin Wang wants to see Abbot Zhizhen, which is more difficult than Li Changfeng's search for culprits.

The first person in the temple hurriedly came to salute King Jin, and said that the abbot was in the temple now, but he didn't know where he was, and he didn't know what important business King Jin had, so he could do it for him.

The first seat is the next abbot, and he is also very proficient in Buddhism. If it is to pray for blessings and other things, he can indeed do it for him.

King Jin insisted on seeing the abbot.

A little novice suddenly ran to the head seat and said in a low voice, "I know."

The first seat quickly looked at him: "Have you met the abbot?"

The little novice nodded: "The abbot said that there are distinguished guests coming tonight, and he wants to treat them in the blessed place."

The chief thought to himself that there are so many distinguished guests tonight, and he doesn't know which one the abbot wants to see.

Fortunately, although there were many distinguished guests, only the king of Jin wanted to see the abbot by name, so he personally took the king of Jin there.

The so-called blessed place is the monk's house left after the monk passed away, and no one lives there temporarily, so it is called the blessed place.

Now there is only one blessed place in the temple.

King Jin left with the first seat, followed by Li Changfeng, while staring at the manpower brought by King Jin to see if there were many and few.

He didn't believe that King Jin really just came to see the abbot, even if he wanted to pray for His Majesty, he should have come early. If the Ning Festival palace banquet is over today, if he comes to pray for blessings, only ghosts will watch.

Since the purpose is unknown, it may be related to thieves.

The subordinates ran all the way to his side and said in a low voice: "I ran away, there is someone helping me in the dark."

Li Changfeng sneered in his heart, and he became more and more convinced that King Jin was here to welcome the thief to leave, but there is no evidence right now, so it is inconvenient to say.

He ordered his subordinates to continue to watch at the bell tower, and he would follow King Jin all the time, waiting for King Jin to show his feet.
