Chapter 142 Kidnapping
Zhou Shui smiled awkwardly, interrupted and said, "I just want to ask the master, the Buddha's relics need to be enshrined according to the law, and I would like to ask the master to show me how to arrange the relics?"

Master Liaoyin said softly but unquestionably: "Build the tower."

Zhou Shui nodded and said: "I also have this idea. The question is where to build this tower? How many floors and levels to build, how high is it, whether to build a Han Dynasty pagoda or an Ashoka Pagoda, all these need to be built in the same way. Textual research. If it is built outside the temple, the land is also a big problem, and it will not take a year or so to complete the formalities."

Master Liaoyin nodded and was about to speak.At this moment, there was a "bang" in the middle of the yard, and suddenly a golden light exploded. This golden light rose flatly, as if growing out of the ground, growing three or four feet high. Then it circled and changed, forming the shape of a pagoda.

The three looked at each other.

I saw that the bottom of this golden pagoda is in the shape of a covered bowl, and the top is in the shape of a Zen stick. It is exactly an Ashoka pagoda.Zhou Shui thought of the pagoda transformed from cigarettes at the mouth of the well, and this pagoda was an enlarged version of that pagoda.The three of them hurriedly fell down and knelt down, and after the master kowtowed, he said loudly: "My disciples have memorized the records of the Buddha."

Following the sound of Great Monk Yin, the Golden Light Pagoda gradually faded, and finally disappeared into the void.

The three stood up, Master Liaoyin said: "It's all right now, don't worry about it, everything is settled, now we only owe Dongfeng."

Zhou Shui was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "What is Dongfeng? Is there any difficulty in building a pagoda in our own temple? Is it difficult to go through the procedures?"

Liao Yin sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of formalities. We are a Zen monastery. We don't know how to run Buddhist rituals, and we don't know how to catch ghosts and subdue demons. We don't have any way to make money. Repairing the building also cost a lot. After the master passed away, the monastery had less than 2000 yuan for incense on the books. To build this pagoda, including interior and exterior decoration, [-] million yuan is definitely not enough. I... oh..."

Hearing what Yin said, Zhou Shui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hey, I thought there was something troublesome. Let me tell you the bottom line. I have already raised 1000 million yuan, and I can do anything if the rest is not enough. No, I have a friend surnamed Tu who wants to do some good deeds, but is worried that there is no place to give, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

Because of great joy, even though the great monk is a good monk, he is still very happy.He said in praise: "Amitabha, goodness, goodness, Zhou's benefactor has immeasurable merits and virtues."

Zhou Shui returned the gift and said nothing.

Ruyu suddenly asked Master Yin: "Master, where did you say "I have been waiting for a long time" just now? Did you know in advance that we would come?"

Master Liao also liked Ruyu's strange elves, so he smiled and said, "Before my master passed away, he left me a gatha, which reads like this: September [-]th is full of light, red The lotus blooms on the white lotus. Today is the fifteenth day of the ninth lunar month, isn't it..."

The great monk glanced at Ruyu again, and seemed to say to himself: "It can be seen that the old monk has realized the samadhi, and he is indistinguishable from Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Amitabha."

Ruyu seemed to understand but didn't understand, so she didn't ask further.

Because the master let Zhou Shuiruyu and the two into the guest room, and the guests and hosts sat down separately, the master said: "The poor monk is a young monk, and he knows little about common things. The building of the pagoda depends entirely on Zhou's benefactor. The monk thanked you in advance. .”

Zhou Shui said: "Master, you are polite. Building temples and pagodas is the business of the world. I am a foolish disciple, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to take on the big responsibility. However, the old saying also says that one should do one's benevolence and not give up to one's teacher, so disciples dare not refuse."

Master Liaoyin nodded and said, "Since that's the case, the poor monk is no longer polite. Tomorrow, the poor monk plans to arrange for his disciples to measure the site. The benefactor can also start to make drawings, import materials, and break ground next spring. How about that? "

Zhou Shui also had this kind of thought, and immediately made a decision.

Ruyu listened for a while, but couldn't understand it, and couldn't help but fell asleep leaning on the back of the chair.Zhou Shui looked at the sky. At this time, the bright moon was setting in the west, and the east was white.Because the master slept late all night, he didn't feel sleepy at all.He also chatted with Zhou Shui about the situation of the monastery after Master Jingxuan passed away. Zhou Shui could hear from the words that this Master Liao Yin had a profound practice, but he knew nothing about human relationships.According to him, the leaders of the Municipal Bureau of Religious Affairs and the United Front Work Department have been offended by him all over the place.Zhou Shui was faintly worried.These two departments are the higher-level units of the monastery. Offending them is bad news for the construction of the pagoda.

Zhou Shui and Ruyu didn't go down the mountain until the sky was bright and there was already a taxi down the mountain.Master Liaoyin sent it outside the mountain gate in person.The relic stayed in the monastery, and Zhou Shui had completed the task, and went down the mountain in a relaxed and peaceful manner.

Zhou Shui took a taxi to deliver Ruyu to the door.Juvenile Ruyu lost his mother, and he and his father Song Qian depended on each other.Zhou Shui watched Ruyu go upstairs, and then turned around and headed for Bai's house.

The courtyard door of the White House was actually wide open.Zhou Shui looked at his watch. The time on the watch had been readjusted, and it showed that it was [-]:[-] in the morning. In the past, everyone hadn't woken up at this time. What's going on today?Zhou Shui felt a little uneasy, he almost ran to the door after getting off the car.

The yard was full of people sitting, and everyone was downcast.Zhou Shui was taken aback. He subconsciously looked at the people in the yard. Both Mr. Bai and Mrs. Zhou were there. Zhou Shui breathed a sigh of relief first, and then looked at the others. There was no shortage of anyone.There were two more people, Lao An and Lu Mo.

Zhou Shui coughed, and everyone raised their heads in unison. Seeing that it was Zhou Shui, everyone seemed to have found their backbone, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.Xiaoliang was the first to stand up, walked up to Zhou Shui, first called brother, and then "wow", threw himself into Zhou Shui's arms and burst into tears.

Zhou Shui went in without knowing, so he could only pat Xiaoliang's back with his hands, comforting Xiaoliang in his ear: "It's okay, I have brother here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

It took Xiaoliang a long time to stop crying, sobbing and unable to speak.Zhou Shui looked for rigor among the crowd with his eyes, and he helped Xiaoliang away, and then moved Zhou Shui a stool for Zhou Shui to sit down.Said rigorously: "Dad said you would go home this morning, no, everyone is waiting for you here."

Zhou Shui calmed down and said, "What happened?"

He replied rigorously: "Er Gui disappeared. To be precise, he was kidnapped by gangsters."

Lu Mo was sitting next to Mr. Zhou, wiping away tears before speaking.He choked up and said, "It's been three days. I found a letter under the door at noon the day before yesterday. Isn't this..."

Lu Mo took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Shui.Zhou Shui unfolded the letter, which was printed on a piece of A4 paper. The content of the letter is as follows: Lu Mo, An Guigui owes a gambling debt of three million yuan, and has been detained by us because he cannot repay it.Wangsu raises funds to redeem people, within three days, and is not allowed to call the police, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk.There is no signature below, only the year, month, and day.

Zhou Shui put the letter on the table casually, and asked Yan Jing: "Does Ke Jian know about this?"

Shaking his head rigorously: "Teacher Lu is determined not to call the police. In addition, something happened to Kejian."
