The Delicate Lady Coroner

This time the Buddha's birthday was highly valued by the royal family. Emperor Jianhe not only ordered the two halls to go down to Xiangguo Temple and incense, but also ordered the inner government to come forward and offer Qibao stupa for worship in the temple. Not long after Huo Qinghong entered Taichang Temple, he built peace The emperor also felt that he needed experience, so he sent this errand to him.

Although the Qibao stupa is the most treasure of Buddhism, it is a gift from the neighboring country Qi. It has been used for praying for the heavenly family for many years. The construction of the stupa presented by the emperor also shows the importance of Xiangguo Temple. Huo Qinghong thought this The errands were commonplace, but it was just a cutscene, but never expected that there would be an error during the treasure offering.

It was late at night when Huo Wei Tower arrived at Xiangguo Temple. The lights in Xiangguo Temple were brightly lit. Several elders in the temple, including the host and the acquaintance monks, were all waiting in the abbot’s room, while Huo Qinghong waited anxiously at the door and saw Huo Wei Building In an instant, it seemed as if he saw the bright eyes of a savior.

"Big Brother—" He walked up quickly, his face turned into a grievance, and he narrowed his mouth before saying the reason.

Huo Weilou frowned and said, "What happened?"

Huo Qinghong whispered: "Buddha is fake."

When Huo Weilou heard this, his expression suddenly changed, "Fake?"

Huo Qinghong nodded, "Master Huineng, the host, has seen this Buddha treasure. He thinks it is a fake. The two Highnesses who came together know about it and have already brought the **** from the inner palace back to the palace to report to your majesty. I don't know. Okay, so I asked people to go back to find the eldest brother."

Huo Weilou frowned and entered the abbot's room. Several masters greeted him. After seeing the Buddhist ceremony, they took Huo Weilou to see the Qibao stupa.

The Qibao stupa is a square single eave, which is composed of a pedestal, a rosette, a tower body, a tower eaves, and a roof. The gold and jade ornaments strung by silver wires are inlaid on it. The lifelike sculptures of flowers, birds, fish and insects are even more extraordinary. , But it is extremely gorgeous. As soon as he saw this, Huo Weilou felt his mind. From the physical point of view, it was no different from the Qibao stupa in his impression.

Huo Weilou looked at the host Huineng: "Dare to ask the master, why do you say this stupa is fake?"

With a solemn expression, Huineng pointed to the crystal carved on the pagoda and the crystal vajra and said: "This seven-treasure stupa has been enshrined in the Wanfo Temple of Daqi for a hundred years. During this period, a Buddha's top bone relic was also enshrined, which is Daqi. The treasure of Buddhism was given to the Great Zhou eight years ago as a collection of the royal family. Many animals, fish and insects are carved on this stupa. Many Buddhist artifacts are also carved on the stupa. The vajra pestle should be a human-shaped pestle with three strands at one end, but what is carved here is a human-shaped pestle with two strands at one end. One strand is missing and it is very different. This is a fake—"

Xu was afraid that Huo Weilou would not believe it, Huineng said again: "Thirty years ago, the poor monk practiced the Dharma at the Wanfo Temple in Daqi for a year. When Qi came to give this thing, the poor monk once visited the palace. What he saw at that time was also a three-stranded humanoid pestle at one end. The poor monk remembered it clearly."

Huo Weilou couldn't believe it anymore. At this moment, he also felt that the problem was quite serious. Huo Qinghong stood behind with a sad face. "After Da Zhou received this thing, it has been kept in the Treasury Department of Treasury. How could it be fake?"

Huo Weilou curled his eyebrows and said: "This matter is not trivial. If the palace knows about it, it is bound to send someone to verify it."

Huo Qinghong scratched his head, "Then what should I do now?"

Huo Weilou glanced at the shining night outside the window, "You don't have to do anything, wait for someone in the palace."

After Huo Weilou had said this, he called a small official from Taichang Temple to follow Huo Qinghong's side. The small official had been in Taichang Temple for a long time, and he knew things in the office better than Huo Qinghong. Huo Weilou asked about these seven treasures. Wherever the stupa has been placed over the years, it can be taken out from the treasure department. The little official said: "I took it out five years ago. A master also went to the palace to pray."

In this way, several masters thought of the matter and responded to each other. Huo Weilou asked about the situation on that day, and Huineng said: "I haven't looked closely at that day, I don't know whether this thing was true or false at that time."

Huo Weilou asked again: "This thing is also responsible for Taichang Temple in the palace hall?"

The little official said: "Exactly, it was the king back then—"

The little official's words stopped abruptly, and he looked up at Huo Weilou with a guilty conscience. How could Huo Weilou not know what this person was thinking? Five years ago, the Taichang Temple Qing was Wang Qingfu, and Wang Qingfu was involved in the Famen Temple murder case ten years ago, and died in Famen Temple. Although the murder case was solved that year, the whereabouts of the relic of Famen Temple is still unknown.

Huo Weilou looked down at the seven treasure stupa. This stupa is also the most precious treasure of Buddhism. If the stupa in front of you is fake, where did it go? The loss of the two Buddhist treasures may be related to Wang Qingfu. Is this a coincidence?

Huo Qinghong said by the side: "According to what the master said, only the vajra carved on this stupa is different from the real stupa, so who can distinguish it in such detail?"

The sculptures of the beasts and birds on the pagoda are complex and detailed. Many Buddhist artifacts are dotted with it. If you don’t look closely, it’s hard to tell whether it is a pu or a vajra. People who don’t understand Buddhist artifacts can hardly see one end. The difference between two strands and three strands at one end.

Huineng pondered for a moment, "This Buddha treasure has been well-known in the world for a long time. It has been in the Wanfo Temple of Daqi in the early years. In the Wanfo Temple, it will only appear at the ceremonial ceremony such as the Buddha's birthday. It’s hard to see. Therefore, the presiding officer, elder of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, or the little monk who looks after this treasure must know that, again, the poor monk remembers that there are two Buddhist treasures that have been handed down to the world. They were sent to Da Zhou together, and now they are mostly in the treasure department."

Huo Qinghong understood, "There are hundreds of patterns carved on this pagoda. It's hard to re-carve exactly the same for a moment, unless there is a Buddha's treasure map."

"It's exactly this." Hui Neng nodded.

Huo Qinghong looked at the Huo Wei Building and saw his solemn expression, and asked, "What is the big brother thinking?"

Huo Weilou asked first: "Does anyone else know about this?"

Huineng shook his head, "Only the five of us here know."

The monks present were all ministerial monks of Xiangguo Temple, and Huo Weilou said: "We are not allowed to inform outsiders about this matter for the time being."

After finishing the words, Huo Weilou asked again: "Master knows about the loss of the Buddha bone relic in Famen Temple?"

Huineng naturally nodded. Although the royal family did not disclose the matter, the senior monks of Xiangguo Temple knew that the Buddha bone relic was the pain of Buddhism throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Which Buddha bone relic is related to this seven-treasure stupa?"

When Huo Weilou asked, Huineng couldn't help but shook his head after a moment. "There is no origin. The relics enshrined in this Qibao stupa were the Buddha's top bone relics, and the relics in Famen Temple , Is the Buddha's finger bone relics, and the Buddha bone relics in Famen Temple were encased with five treasures at the beginning of the world, and have no connection with the Qibao stupa."

When Huo Weilou heard the words, he felt that he was thinking too much, but then Hui Neng said: "But... the relic of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was destroyed in a fire decades ago, and the Buddha bone relic of Famen Temple is the only one in the world. Buddha bone relics are extremely precious, and this seven-treasure stupa has been enshrined in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple for a hundred years. It is blessed by the great wisdom and compassion of the three Buddhas. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the Buddha is alive, Amitabha—"

Huo Weilou did not believe in the Buddha, and his heart shook slightly when he heard it. At this time, the night was deep. Huo Weilou asked about the arrangements for today's Buddha's birthday to ensure that there are no mistakes and omissions in all the regulations today. There really is someone in the palace.

The person who came was Fuquan. As soon as he saw Huoweilou, Fuquan said: "When I came here, I went to the Hou Mansion. Knowing that Lord Hou had come to Xiangguo Temple first, the villain was here without stopping. Your Majesty already knew it. He was very angry. Your Majesty was interested. Let Houye verify this matter, this is the decree written by your majesty himself."

Fuquan handed a decree to the Huo Wei Building. After reading the Huo Wei Building, he said, "My father-in-law, go back to life. Tonight, I will stay at Xiangguo Temple to inquire about matters in the temple, and I will return to the palace tomorrow to report to your Majesty."

Although the night was late, Fuquan didn't dare to delay any time, and soon left Xiangguo Temple at night.

Huo Weilou stayed in the temple and did not question the people of Xiangguo Temple. Instead, he asked several Taichang Temple officials who followed Huo Qinghong one by one. When asked about the last subject, Huo Weilou asked: "Wang Qingfu was ransacked. After that, his wife and child, do you know whereabouts?"

Wang Qingfu used to value this subject, and he had many contacts with Wang Qingfu’s family. The question of Huo Weilou really made him nervous, "Wang Da...After Wang Qingfu’s house was copied, his wife and children moved to the house, but they were still there. Inside the capital."

Huo Weilou nodded, and his eyes showed a bit of deep thought. At dawn, Huo Weilou took Huo Qinghong and his party and the fake Qibao stupa to leave Xiangguo Temple and hurried back to the capital.
