I'm not immortal

Chapter 537: One Step Too Late

Chapter 537

"Come to the big conference room quickly!"

When Jiang Qi woke up again, he found dozens of missed calls on his phone and a text message from Jiang Shouzhen.

But this text message was already an hour ago.

Jiang Qi scratched his hair. His mental energy had been exhausted by the two previous Dream Entering spells.

After returning to the Mystery Bureau, I fell asleep. I slept for more than 20 hours, during which I didn't even hear the phone ring.

When he rushed over, Zhang Qing and others were still there.

Brothers Dingshan and Dinghai were also able to attend because of previous events.

"Jiang Qi, you're here!"

Jiang Shouzhen pointed to the place next to him, asked Jiang Qi to sit down and talk first, and then introduced the current situation to Jiang Qi.

"Based on the clues you obtained earlier, we have now basically mastered the information about the Wusheng Old Mother Sacrifice."

"Do you know the origin of the White Lotus Sect?"

Listening to this inexplicable question, Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment, and all kinds of memories about the White Lotus Sect suddenly appeared in his mind. After sorting it out, he took the initiative to say: "The White Lotus Sect has a long history. It is said that its fundamental method comes from Buddha’s Pure Land Sect!”

"During the Northern Song Dynasty, monk Mao Ziyuan founded the sect, which was first called the White Lotus Sect! The early White Lotus sect worshiped Amitabha and upheld the Buddhist precepts, which included no killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no lying, and no drinking."

"In later generations, after several generations, the teachings changed several times. In the Yuan Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect claimed that Maitreya had come to the world. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were also rumors of the birthless mother. In addition, there were uprisings and rebellions in all dynasties, so they were suppressed."

Jiang Qi followed the script and only gave some general information.

Jiang Shouzhen and others listened with smiles on their faces.

"It seems that Mr. Jiang Qi doesn't know much about the White Lotus Sect, and is even biased."

Zhang Qing's face was rosy, and he looked a little proud at the moment, which added to his sense of superiority.

"The reason why the White Lotus Sect is denounced as a cult is that it is indeed a threat to the imperial rule. On the other hand, the White Lotus Sect's methods are equally bloody. They use gods to fool the people, and they often use cruel methods."

"This is also why we and others from outside the country have been suppressing the White Lotus Sect."

"The white cassock, sutra bowl and mulberry branches that Mr. Jiang Qi mentioned earlier, if we guessed correctly, should refer to the birth of Maitreya Sutra in the late Yuan Dynasty!"

"It is said that this sutra first appeared in Wangjiazhuang, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province, and it was opened after encountering Zhicheng."

"At that time, there were sutra preachers who wore white cassocks and walked around the world holding alms bowls, preaching sutras and passing through the world, and preaching about Maitreya's next rebirth."

Zhang Qing told this allusion in great detail.

Several people had already lost face by pulling their hips, so they worked extra hard to find clues to the White Lotus Sect.

So far, it looks good.

Zhang Qing was very satisfied with Jiang Qi's expression of silence.

At this moment, Jiang Qi suddenly raised his hand and opened his mouth to speak: "I have a question."

Zhang Qing almost couldn't catch his breath and choked on his trachea.

"What's your problem?"

"If I remember correctly, the White Lotus Sect Wusheng Old Mother was born during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"Not bad!"

Zhang Qing nodded when he heard this.

"According to historical records, during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, an old woman gave birth to 81 children. The world regarded it as a miracle. Later, there were rumors of the birth of an inanimate old mother. The White Lotus demon called it an ancient Buddha with no birth and death in heaven, who was born to give birth to billions of children. I also heard that there will be a great calamity in the world, so I came to this world just to save my children and return to my empty homeland to enjoy the blessing of freedom and purity."

These historical allusions came to Zhang Qing as soon as he opened his mouth.

Although it was brief, it said everything that needed to be said.

"This is it. The Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty spanned at least a hundred years. I don't understand why objects from a hundred years ago were used in the Wusheng Old Mother Festival. Could it be that when the Maitreya Sutra appeared in the world, there were already gods Do you anticipate that there will be a great ceremony in the future that will use your magic weapon?"

Jiang Qi said slowly.Although they are both from the White Lotus lineage, after a hundred years of vicissitudes, even the gods they worship have changed. Why do they use things from a hundred years ago in sacrifices?

It doesn't make sense at all.

Jiang Qi's words caused everyone present to fall into silence again, and the smile on Zhang Qing's face also disappeared.

"Then you mean..."

"I don't mean anything, I just feel that the separation of time between the two is too heavy and too deliberate."

Jiang Qi shook his head and said.

He really didn't have any evidence, but he just felt vaguely uneasy.

As for what exactly went wrong, he couldn't say why.

These words caused Zhang Qing and others to hang in the air, swinging up and down.

Seeing that everyone had been discussing for a long time but there were no new clues, Jiang Shouzhen rapped the table with his knuckles vigorously, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Since there are no clear clues to prove that those three things have nothing to do with the upcoming Wusheng Old Mother Festival, then we should follow the previous plan and find these three things first and get them in hand."

"At the same time, we must also pay close attention to the trends of the White Lotus Sect and Taiping Dao, and communicate in a timely manner if there are any problems."

Jiang Shouzhen said the last words to Ouyang Zhen beside him.

He has been responsible for monitoring Taipingdao's actions, and this matter is also his responsibility.

Ouyang Zhen naturally has no objection.

Just as the meeting was about to end, a staff member broke in from outside.

"Director, there is an important situation."

The staff member quickly walked up to Jiang Shouzhen holding a document. After Jiang Shouzhen glanced at the contents of the document, his expression became strange, and he stopped everyone who was about to leave.

"The latest situation is that we have found the whereabouts of Bai Kasao."

Jiang Shouzhen's words immediately made everyone present excited.

This is a great thing.

As long as the white cassock is obtained, the Wusheng Old Mother Sacrifice carefully prepared by Master Taiping will most likely be stopped.

“Without further ado, I’d like to ask a few of you to take a hard trip.”

Jiang Shouzhen looked at everyone present.

This matter is of great importance and there must be no room for error.

"Don't worry, Director Jiang, we will bring everything back safely."

Lu Changfeng changed his previous indifference and became eager to try.

Several people drove there separately.

Zhang Ning followed Jiang Qi and became a driver and liaison officer.

On the way, he was still introducing the situation to a few people.

"According to the report, the white cassock is now collected in a private museum."

"The museum was established a year ago, and this white cassock was included in the first exhibition. However, the collector himself did not know the specific origin of the white cassock. He only said that it was left by a certain eminent monk in the Yuan Dynasty."

"Because it took a long time, and the white cassocks were no longer on display in that museum, it was a little late to get the information."

"This is a good thing. We can't find it, so it's even more impossible that Taipingdao can't find it."

Jiang Qi said leisurely.

It wasn't until he went to the museum that Jiang Qi felt that it was too early to say this.
