Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 243 Great Monk Zhiyi Foresaw All This Long Ago

Chang'an City under the night seems to be a little different from the past. Not only has the number of people patrolling the city walls increased significantly, but the level of vigilance is also completely different from the past.

Snapped!
A passing demon king unceremoniously slapped the back of the head of a pawn who was trying to lean on the crenel of the city wall to be lazy.

"Don't be lazy, the fire in front of you is going to go out, can't you see it?"

"Yes!"

The soldier who was beaten was shocked all over, and his whole body immediately became energetic, and then he immediately ran all the way, took out a handful of charcoal from the room in the tower, and added it to the fire cage near his post.

"Ok!"

Seeing the opponent's movements, Cheng Yaojin nodded in satisfaction, then pressed his sword with one hand, and said loudly.

"Snitches have been happening in Chang'an City for the past two days, maybe they will beat us here, so everyone should be vigilant these two days, if they are caught, the imperial court will reward them heavily, and a snitch will offer a reward of ten coins..."

When they heard about ten pennies, the soldiers' eyes lit up obviously.

"Don't worry, General Cheng, I will definitely be careful!"

After hearing the words of these soldiers, there was an invisible sigh from a corner under the city wall, and then a shadow clung to the wall and left without a sound.

A quarter of an hour later, the shadow appeared near Qujiang Pond again...

Looking from a distance, Qujiang Pond, which used to be empty, now has more than a dozen warships with torches on it.

In the night wind, warships swim back and forth in Qujiang Pond like fish.In the center of Qujiang Lake, there is also a huge five-yaled building boat, and a flag with the word Qin on it is fluttering in the wind above the building boat.

"King Qin is indeed a man who knows how to fight, but it's not completely helpless..."

With that said, Shadow carefully avoided those warships, circled around Qujiang Pond, and disappeared into the night.

Not long after, an old monk with white beard and eyebrows walked out of the shadows and returned to Dayunjing Temple, which had become quiet and empty.

"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"

The old monk put his palms together and said calmly to Monk Jizang who was sitting in front of the main hall of the monastery.

"The old monk returned late, and the Great Monk Leijizang has been waiting for a long time..."

Just when he saw the old monk appearing from the shadows, on the roof next to the street of Dayunjing Temple, the search fox with two infrared binoculars in his hand was in a panic.

"Here we come, here we come, Monk Zhixi has finally appeared again."

"Hurry up, hurry up, turn the infrared camera around and point it at him..."

As a result, when Monk Zhixi's head was caught in the camera by the search foxes just now, Monk Zhixi seemed to feel something in his heart.

In the camera, the two search foxes could clearly see him turn around and look towards the direction of the infrared camera. They were so frightened that the two search foxes suddenly fell back and almost fell off the eaves.

"Great Monk Zhixi,"

Seeing that Zhixi turned his head suddenly, Monk Ji Zang couldn't help asking a little strangely.

"What's wrong with you?"

After the monk Zhixi sized it up a few times, he turned around and replied with some doubts.

"The old monk just felt as if someone was peeping here..."

"Maybe someone from Taishi Bureau or Fu Yi?"

Monk Ji Zang also looked at the place that Monk Zhixi was looking at, but when he came out, he found nothing but a few wooden boxes on the eaves. He turned his head indifferently and explained something.

"However, the distance is so far, and the sky is already dark. Even if they monitor us, I believe they won't find anything. Besides, we are open and honest, so we don't need to be afraid of his surveillance!"

Said, Ji Zang monk asked in a concerned tone.

"But monk Zhixi went to Xiao Zhongcheng's side, did you get any reply?"

"Hey... this image is a bit blurry..."

Two search foxes hiding behind the eaves looked at the picture on the infrared camera and scratched their heads in embarrassment.

"I can't see their mouth shapes at all."

"no solution anymore……"

Another search fox lay on the roof, turned its head and rummaged through a large pocket next to it, and found a bug that looked like a button.

"I can only use this thing!"

"But this thing has to be placed very close, it's very dangerous..."

The two search foxes glanced at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Hey... At this time, I can see the benefits of His Highness Long Zi's recruitment of moving hamsters."

"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"

The old monk Zhixi shook his head slightly, sighed, and said to the monk Ji Zang.

"Although Xiao Zhongcheng is willing to help my monk, but now the King of Qin has sealed off Chang'an in the name of searching for snitches, and he needs to be inspected when he enters and exits. He is also powerless!"

"Even Xiao Zhongcheng can't help it? Sigh!"

Monk Ji Zang sighed softly and shook his head.

"But those sealed instruments will gradually lose their effectiveness after being warmed by incense. What should I do..."

As he spoke, he tentatively asked Monk Zhixi a question.

"Otherwise, Great Monk Zhixi, you should put those magical artifacts in my Sanlun Sect's monastery for warming up, and then leave after the situation in Chang'an City is not so tense."

Monk Zhixi did not answer what Monk Ji Zang said, but turned his gaze to the side of the hall.

"Who?"

Following his shout, Monk Ji Zang also turned his head and looked over.

squeak...

From the corner on the side of the main hall, there were a few cries of mice, and then they saw a big mouse rushing out of the corner, and disappeared into the night in two or three strokes.

"It turned out to be a mouse!"

Monk Zhixi looked at the back of the mouse and laughed at himself.

"It seems that the old monk is really worried, and the grass and trees are all soldiers..."

Listening to what Monk Zhixi said, Monk Ji Zang couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Monk Zhixi was just joking, how can you be considered as an enemy, you can only say that you have sharp eyes and ears."

"Where, where, the old monk is getting older, and now he is almost deaf and blind. He can't see anything. How can he be called sharp-eyed..."

Monk Zhixi said something in his words, and glanced at Monk Ji Zang meaningfully, and then brought the topic back to the right track.

"However, although King Qin's investigation was very strict, and Xiao Zhongcheng and the others did not dare to help my Fahua Sect, the old monk did a field survey just now and found that there is no way to leave."

"Oh!"

Monk Ji Zang looked at Monk Zhixi in surprise.

"From what I've seen, Chang'an guarded by the King of Qin can be said to be watertight. I didn't expect that Monk Zhixi could find a loophole."

"Of course, the so-called hundred secrets must have one omission..."

As he spoke, Monk Zhixi pointed to the southeast direction of Chang'an City with his hand.

"Even though the King of Qin strictly guards the nine gates of Chang'an and strictly checks all the people who enter and exit, it seems that there is no leak, but the real water, King Qin, still can't keep it."

"Could it be that the great monk was talking about Qujiang Pond?"

Monk Ji Zang shook his head and said solemnly.

"In the daytime, the old monk also went to the Qujiang Pool, and the King of Qin has mobilized dozens of warships to seal it off. Let alone a certain class without boats, even if they did, there is no way to get those magical artifacts and belongings from Qujiang. Carry it away on the river."

"Ordinary boats are naturally not enough, but when my senior monk Zhiyi took control of the Taishi Bureau in the previous dynasty, he once got a Shenzhou."

Monk Zhixi remained calm and said calmly.

"The boat is more than fifty feet long, and its sound is like copper and iron. It is firm but not beetle-like. It can walk underwater. It is just right for diving into Qujiang Pond with magic tools and treasures, and leaving silently under the water."

"What, Fa Huazong actually has a Shenzhou that can walk underwater?"

Monk Ji Zang's face was full of doubts.

"I have followed Master Zhiyi for more than ten years, but I seem to have never heard the master mention this matter."

"That's because the senior brother has a high level of cultivation and his Zen mind is unmoved. Shenzhou or ordinary wooden boats are the same to him."

A longing look appeared on Monk Zhixi's face, and he clasped his hands together.

"According to what my brother said, when this boat is in good condition, it should be able to go to the sea and go everywhere. Unfortunately, most of the magic circle and runes of the Shenzhou boat have been damaged. Although my brother repaired it with great magic power, it still can't be completely restored. achievement."

"I see!"

A greedy gleam flashed in Monk Ji Zang's eyes, but it was quickly covered up.

"Master Zhiyi really has a deep connection with Buddhism, so he can get such a treasure!"

"Treasures or ordinary things are the same to Senior Brother Zhiyi."

Monk Zhixi waved his hand and said in a flat tone.

"The reason why he went to repair the Shenzhou was just to take the stones from other mountains to prove his Dharma. Later, after the senior brother discovered that he had mastered the magic circle runes on the Shenzhou, he put the boat on it at will... ..."

As he spoke, Monk Zhixi raised his head and looked at Monk Ji Zang with the corners of his mouth upturned, revealing a kind smile.

"...in Yanxing Temple!"

"what?"

Monk Ji Zang was really surprised this time.

"That Shenzhou is actually in Yanxing Temple, why doesn't this old man know..."

"Brother, so what if you know, so what if you don't know?"

Monk Zhixi clasped his hands together, the treasure looks solemn.

"Empty is false, false is empty, empty and false is middle. Whether it is a Shenzhou or a wooden boat, it is just a thing for ferrying people. Why do you need to distinguish it so clearly?"

After hearing what Monk Zhixi said, Monk Jizang suddenly felt that he had nothing to say, so he put his palms together and recited a Buddha's name.

"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"

"To be honest, the old monk didn't understand enough back then. He didn't understand why Brother Zhiyi put the Shenzhou in Yanxing Temple. It wasn't until just now that the old monk understood."

Monk Zhixi clasped his hands together and looked at Monk Jizang sincerely.

"It turns out that Senior Brother Zhiyi had long foreseen this catastrophe in our Fa Hua Sect, and also predicted that you, Great Monk Jizang, would establish your own family and take Yanxing Temple out of our Fa Hua Sect, so that the Shenzhou is still in the hands of my Buddhist sect. , I can get this old man out of this sea of ​​suffering!"

After hearing what Monk Zhixi said, Monk Ji Zang stared at him in a daze, and finally put his hands together and bowed to Monk Zhixi.

"The Great Monk Zhiyi is a true Arhat, the old monk is completely convinced..."

At this time, far outside the temple, the few search foxes who were watching Monk Zhixi and the others with infrared binoculars were also staring with disbelief.

"Is that monk named Zhiyi so powerful? In the Sui Dynasty, he predicted that the Fahua Sect would be unlucky..."

"Probably not!"

A search fox standing under the eaves and responsible for releasing the wind blinked its eyes wide.

"Didn't Fa Huazong's unlucky people fall into the trap of the Lord? If that monk Zhiyi is so powerful, why didn't he kill the Lord earlier, otherwise there would be no such catastrophe..."

Before she could finish her sentence, another search fox blocked her mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What does Fa Huazong's bad luck have to do with the Lord?"

The search fox with its mouth covered had big eyes and a cute face.

"Woooooooo..."
