Tianyi

Chapter 12 Purple Clothes (6)

Xue Yi said: "Furthermore, as soon as he mentioned the hollow stone Buddha statue, I guessed that the treasure thief was probably related to my Tianyi Sect. Because in this world, only people from my Tianyi Sect can mold cotton. The method of silencing. To be able to steal the treasure silently within that hour, it must have been possible to use silencing plastic cotton to seal all the gaps around the inner hall in advance, so that the roaring sound could not be heard before it could be moved. Buddha statue. You should all know that the person in my Tianyi Sect who is best at plasticizing cotton to silence sounds was originally from Zuixian Township. She once told me that she had a brother next door who lost everything due to disasters. My family had to go to Fujian to become a monk. I asked Chiyi to check Jingzhi's whereabouts when he arrived, just to see if Jingzhi had stayed in Zuixian Township. If so, the thief must be him."

If Lan Yi realized something, he said softly: "It turns out to be her, Zi Yi."

Xue Yi nodded and said: "Yes, when I expected that Zi Yi was involved in this case, I basically figured everything out. Ten years ago, Zuixian Township was suffering from officials, and the people were in dire straits, which triggered riots among the villagers. Officers and soldiers came to clear it up. When the villagers were about to be slaughtered, three monks from Sian Chai Temple came to help them. Finally, they went to the emperor of Kyoto, relieved the people from hanging, saved the people of the village, and restored the peace of the village. I guess, Ziyi and Jing Zhi's family members all died in this disaster, and after that, Ziyi threw himself into my Tianyi Sect, while Jingzhi followed the masters to Fujian."

Chiyi interjected: "Sister Ziyi left us and I couldn't find her. It turns out she went to Fujian to find that little thief Bald. Bah, bah, bah, she's an unkind person. Sister Ziyi can't see through it."

Xue Yi glanced at Chi Yi and continued: "Master Pu Xing is the senior brother, but the abbot is his junior brother, Master Pu Nian. Not many people knew this reason. Now I can tell you: Is Master Pu Xing still the master?" As for the secular man, he married a wife and had a daughter in the years when he returned to the secular world, and his biological daughter is Ziyi."

"Ah?! So that pilgrim is Ziyi?" Chiyi was shocked, screamed, and immediately covered his mouth.

Xue Yi glared at Chi Yi fiercely and said, "If my wing hadn't been sealed with sound-absorbing plastic cotton, and I had to sew your mouth shut with a needle, why can't you keep calm? You said ten Years ago, when those three monks had nothing to do, why did they travel as far as Zuixian Township? It was because Master Puxing heard about the trouble in his hometown and missed his wife and daughter. His two junior brothers took pity on him and came with him. Therefore, Puxing Although Master Xing is a senior brother, he feels ashamed that he has not lost his ordinary heart and cannot set an example, so the current abbot is Master Pu Nian."

Chiyi blinked pitifully.

Xue Yi said: "Actually, the person who sympathizes with Pu Xing the most is the great protector monk Pu Neng. He knows very well that Pu Xing cannot be heartless towards his own daughter. That day when he was doing something, Pu Xing let Zi Yi into the temple. Pu Neng knew it clearly. He also pretended not to know, and he never believed that Pu Xing would leak the secret of the treasure to Zi Yi, so he never doubted that Zi Yi stole the treasure. These things were not difficult to guess, but Zi Yi entered the temple and had nothing to do with Sian Chai Temple. Qingming is an obstacle. As soon as they heard my question, they knew that I had guessed it correctly, but they were afraid that I would tell the truth in public. Although Master Pu Nian reacted a little slowly, when he saw that you had caught Jingzhi, he remembered The old things will come to light."

"Does Jingzhi know that Ziyi is the daughter of Puxing? And does he know that she is a member of my Tianyi sect?" Lanyi asked in surprise.

"You should know that she is the daughter of Pu Xing. After all, Jing Zhi was Zi Yi's neighbor when she was young. He might have seen Pu Xing. But he wouldn't know that Zi Yi is from my Tianyi sect. Zi Yi knows the rules. She has been separated and has not returned. You will never dare to use the banner of my Tianyi Sect." Xueyi said very definitely: "However, I guess that the thing that Jingzhi could persuade Ziyi to steal should be the Buddhist scriptures. He must only mention the Buddha statues to Ziyi. There was the issue of the Sanskrit Dharma Sutra of the Western Regions being devolved to the lower levels. In Ziyi’s heart, she deeply resented that her father entered the monastery again when she was young and became a monk, leaving her mother and daughter alone..."

Xue Yi looked at the sisters beside her and said warmly: "Don't look at me like this. Although she never said it clearly, I can guess a bit. Zi Yi's mother passed away in the disaster ten years ago, although Puxing came to see her. The three monks rescued a village from disaster, but they failed to save their mother and daughter. Otherwise, Zi Yi would not have entered my Tianyi Sect. Naturally, she would be resentful towards her father. I had never thought of Zi Yi. After leaving Tianyi Sect, she actually went to Fujian. I thought she didn't want to see her father again. But now, thinking about it again, maybe Ziyi went here just to take revenge on Master Puxing?"

Chiyi nodded repeatedly, with an angry look on his face.

Xue Yi continued: "Although the Sanskrit Dharma Sutra is a treasure in the temple, it cannot be understood by others except those who worship the Buddha. It is not a real treasure. Zi Yi insisted on taking advantage of the Dharma ceremony to enter the temple to see his father. , it was to cause trouble, not to actually steal things. Jingzhi is Ziyi's childhood friend and must know Ziyi's thoughts. He will tell Ziyi that there is a Dharma sutra hidden under the Buddha statue, which is under the care of Master Puxing, and encourage Ziyi to steal it. This will cause trouble for her father and make Master Puxing have to leave the temple to search. Firstly, it will disrupt her father's practice. Secondly, with the sutra in hand, she can probably force her father to return to his hometown to sacrifice his mother. I'll count the days. , it’s almost her mother’s death anniversary.” Xue Yi stopped talking and sighed.

Chiyi was still angry and said: "Sister Ziyi just can't see through it, bah, I can't see through it."

"Blood is thicker than water, biological parents, how can you see through it so easily?" Lan Yi sighed.
