Demon detective

Chapter 60 Anagrams
"Great Xiangguo Temple".

The reason why Xu Zhen said these four words in public was to see the monk's reaction.

As it turns out, he guessed right.

"Xu Zhen," a policeman who had a bad relationship with Xu Zhen asked, "Why are you crazy? What is Daxiangguo Temple, I've never heard of it."

"Brother," Shen Yu asked in a low voice behind Xu Zhen, "do you know this monk, he is from Daxiangguo Temple?"

At this moment, everyone looked at Xu Zhen curiously, not knowing what it meant.

Among the crowd, only Cheng Xiao saw the problem, because Xu Zhen's words had already made the monk open his eyes for the second time, and he also looked at Xu Zhen.

It seems that Xu Zhen should have guessed something.

"People have the mind of a beast, but they have no mind to dream, no mind to confusion, and no mind to rely on."

At this time, Xu Zhen repeated the monk's Buddhist words in public, but when he repeated, his eyes were fixed on the monk, wanting to see how he would react next?
"This is not a Buddhist language, but an anagram," Xu Zhen continued, "People have animal hearts, and the animal heart is the horizontal line, and the horizontal line added by human beings is the character for 'big'.

"Fantasy without heart, thinking of words without heart, is the word for 'phase'.

"Confused Wuxin is to remove the heart and trap the word or, which is exactly the word 'country'.

"The last one, you have no heart, should be the one who has no fear. If you remove the character next to the heart, it is naturally the word 'temple'."

Oh……

For a moment, there was no sound in the lobby, everyone was shocked by Xu Zhen's magical understanding.

No one thought that Daxiangguo Temple had such a meaning.

After a few seconds, the monk suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

The laughter was as deafening as piercing clouds and cracking stones, causing many arresters to block their ears again.

"Hey, what are you laughing at? Stop laughing!" The former policeman pointed his stick at the monk, "Are you a madman, monk?"

"Yes, talk quickly," Fu Bin urged, "Did we guess right? What does Daxiangguo Temple mean?"

"Amitabha..." As a result, after the monk recited the Buddha's name, he closed his eyes again, held out the rosary, and began to recite the scriptures.

"Hey? You? Cough..." Fu Bin was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

"Wow, it's amazing!" Shen Yu stared at her big bright eyes, and exclaimed like a little girl, "Senior Brother Xu can guess such a difficult question after only listening to it once, it's really amazing!"

Xu Zhen hurriedly waved his hand to correct him, "He said it twice."

"Daxiangguo Temple..." Shen Yu frowned, "What does this mean?"

"That's why I asked everyone," Xu Zhen asked, "Who of you has heard of this Daxiangguo Temple?"

Hearing Xu Zhen's question again, all the government officials shook their heads, expressing that they had never heard of it.

"I know, I know!" Unexpectedly, an old government servant who was in charge of cleaning suddenly raised his hand and said, "We do have a Daxiangguo Temple in Yanping County, which is in the Qilidian Qiaotougou area!"

"Really?" Someone questioned, "It's not far from the county seat, why haven't I heard of it?"

"I know, I know," the old yamen servant introduced excitedly, "This Daxiangguo Temple was built to commemorate himself as the Xiangwang after Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne.

"At that time, Xiangwang Mansion was near Qilidian, where there used to be a city. Later, due to severe flooding, the city disappeared, but the Daxiangguo Temple stayed, and I heard that the incense was very prosperous. My parents said that their young I often go there to burn incense.

"However, with the rise of Xuanjiao and the decline of Buddhism, the Daxiangguo Temple gradually fell into disrepair. About 20 years ago, there was another flood there, and not many people knew about it."

Everyone calculated in their minds, this old government servant is over 50 years old this year, wasn't it seven or eighty years ago when his parents were young?
Even the old yamen servants only heard about it, and I am afraid that there will never be anyone who has actually seen this Daxiangguo Temple.

As a result, everyone was even more curious, wondering why this monk who claimed to surrender to the Yamen mentioned such an ancient temple that had long since disappeared?

"Then..." Cheng Xiao glanced at the monk, and then asked the old yamen servant, "Is there anything there now?"

"I don't know about that," said the old yamen servant. "After the flood, why would there be some ruins? That place is muddy and wet, and the roads are difficult to walk. Few people go there."

Gee...

Cheng Xiao smacked his lips and frowned, and immediately fell into hesitation, wondering whether he should pay attention to this weird thing.

It stands to reason that the yamen is now the busiest time, so he shouldn't meddle in other people's business, just drive the monk away.

However, the monk refused to say anything, and played crossword puzzles with them, making it clear that the visitor was not kind.

In addition, he claimed that he surrendered himself, so he should not miss any important clues, what if it is not related to Qiu Batian's case?
and so……

Xu Zhen saw Cheng Xiao's thoughts, and thought that he didn't want to get involved in Qiu Batian's affairs anyway, so he might as well ask Ying to find out the intention of this mysterious monk.

So, he immediately stood up and said to Cheng Xiao: "Cheng Butou, it's better to leave this matter to me and Shen Yu! Let's go to this Daxiangguo Temple to see?"

"Okay!" Cheng Xiao agreed as if he couldn't wish for it.

One is that he hates Xu Zhen, so it's better to be out of sight and out of mind; one is that Shen Yu often gets into trouble, so it's better to follow Xu Zhen; the other is that Xu Zhen is really smart enough to ask him to investigate this case, rather than sending someone else more appropriate.

However, Cheng Xiao still kept an eye out, and added:
"To be on the safe side, let Fu Bin follow you too!"

"This..." Fu Bin was a hundred reluctant, but Cheng Xiao had already spoken, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey his orders.

"There is still old Duan," Xu Zhenyi pointed to the old government servant, "I have to let old Duan lead the way."

"Okay, okay, no problem, no problem." Old Duan hurriedly agreed, and it was his wish to be able to make meritorious service for the Yamen.

Therefore, Xu Zhen and his party immediately went to the stable to choose fast horses, and went to find the ruins of the Daxiangguo Temple.

Just as they were about to leave, Xu Zhen heard Cheng Xiao give another order to the two arresters, telling them to stay in the lobby and stare at the monk.

Hearing this, Xu Zhen couldn't help but look back, but saw that the monk was still calm and relaxed, as if he was in Zen.

Like Cheng Xiao, Xu Zhen had already noticed that this monk was not kind and seemed to have a strong purpose, so he couldn't let go of any clues. He had to find this Daxiangguo Temple and see what was in this person's gourd. What kind of medicine do you sell?

The world is impermanent and unpredictable.

Xu Zhen never expected that the search process would be quite smooth.

Qilidian Qiaotougou was not far from the county seat, and because it was winter, the wet and muddy road had already frozen, so before noon, the few of them had already rushed to the vicinity of their destination.

After some inquiries in the local area, they walked directly across the frozen lake for several hundred meters, and found the ruins of Daxiangguo Temple very smoothly.

In the ruins, there are only ruins and reeds and weeds growing everywhere.

"This..." Shen Yu looked around, feeling very disappointed, "What can we find in this poor place? Then the monk wouldn't be lying to us, would he?"

"Although there are only ruins left," Fu Bin looked forward, "This place is not small, is it?"

"Yes," Lao Duan said, "I heard from my parents that this Xiangguo Temple is a royal temple, so the scale is naturally not small."

"In that case," Xu Zhen said, "let's search separately!"

So, the four of them dispersed and entered the ruins to search.

Unexpectedly, the search went even smoother this time. Not long after they separated, they heard Shen Yu's shout from the grass: "Senior Brother Xu, come quickly! Come quickly, I...I found it!"
