Chapter 17 Reopening the World
Qingshou Temple is located on the west Chang'an Street of Shuntian Prefecture. There are two high towers in the temple, one is nine floors and the other is seven floors.
The ninth floor is called Yunhai Tower, and the seventh floor is called Ke'an Tower.
Seven hundred years ago, Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister of the Ming Chengzu, lived here. When he went to court, he wore an official robe and gave instructions to the country. After going to court, he wore a monk's robe, ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name.
People call him a "demon monk" and think he is the monk who is the least like a monk.
Because before Emperor Chengzu of Ming rebelled, he began to persuade Emperor Chengzu of Ming to rebel, and he had been persuading him for more than ten years.
No monk advised people to rebel? Isn’t this just a crime of killing?
Therefore, people call him a demon monk.
Of course, part of the reason is that he is tall and fierce, and he is like a sick tiger.
This is a very legendary figure.
What Lin Qingsheng has to do now is to dig three feet into Yao Guangxiao's former temple and find something that he didn't know.
This thing hides the reason why ghosts and gods come.
At 8:30 pm, Lin Qingsheng rushed into Qingshou Temple with the investigation order signed by the Minister of Justice.
Although Qingshou Temple is a royal private building, there are more than a dozen monks guarding Qingshou Temple. They did not stop Lin Qingsheng and others from coming to investigate. Instead, they looked at Lin Qingsheng and others in confusion.
Is there anyone in the temple that violated the law?
The monks looked at each other.
"Investigation order, please cooperate with the investigation into the temple."
Lin Qingsheng waved his hand, and police officers on both sides entered one after another.
The monks in front of Lin Qingsheng were not an obstacle to this investigation.
But he knew that the people from the Imperial City Department would arrive soon, and he needed to dig out what he wanted to find before the Imperial City Department arrived.
The Imperial City Department is a special department specializing in the management of royal legacy buildings. It has little real power, but it is very high in level, which is very troublesome to argue.
"Enter the tower and dig it up for me, remember that you just want to dig a hole and don't break anything else."
Lin Qingsheng is actually not afraid of the Imperial City Department. The Imperial City Department is just a trouble. As long as he doesn't show up and wants to dig, no one else can do anything about it.
The Cultural Relics Protection Bureau is called a big trouble.
Lin Qingsheng came here at night because of this, just to make a time difference so that the Cultural Relics Bureau and the Imperial City Department had no time to react.
However, he also looked firmly at the police officer who was taking action.
After all, it is a cultural relic, so it is less destructive if it can be destroyed. It is also very troublesome to argue later. He wants to reduce the work burden for Minister Li.
At this time, the abbot of Qingshou Temple, who was 80 years old, arrived. The old abbot's eyebrows were white. He looked at Lin Qingsheng with confusion and said:
"Donor, are you mistaken? Qingshou Temple was a building in the Yuan Dynasty. It has been more than 800 years since then. The last renovation was eighty years ago. What case can be related to it?"
The old abbot couldn't figure it out that cases were timely and shouldn't be investigated eight hundred years ago, even eighty years ago.
"Old abbot, the Buddhist purity, I, a common man, would never come here for no reason, let alone this is a private building of the Ming Dynasty royal family. Even if I was wrong, my boss would not be wrong together, do you think?"
Lin Qingsheng replied with a serious expression.
The old abbot frowned and said, "That's what he said, but why do you always feel something is wrong?"
Lin Qingsheng did not give the old abbot time to think, so he directly took the old abbot out of the twin towers.
The excavation work lasted for five hours. Lin Qingsheng was wondering if the puppet was lying to him. A "when" sounded at the bottom of the Yunhai Tower.
This is a sound that only metal collisions can occur.
Digging something?
The crisp sound made Lin Qingsheng, who was a little drowsy, come to his senses instantly.
"What was dug?"
The police officer in the pit under the Yunhai Tower replied:
"A thing with edges should be an artificial thing."
"It seems like a bamboo slip?"
"But the hardness is not the same as it is!"
The policeman who dug out was a little surprised. He had just used enough strength to shovel it down, and it felt like it was a metal or stone.
And the bamboo slips shouldn't be broken, this is a shovel.
Lin Qingsheng stood on the pit and couldn't see the real appearance of the items, but since he found something, it means that what the puppet said was very likely to be true.
"Clean out the things and see if there is anything below. If you don't fill the pit, try to fill it before dawn. We will rush to resolve the battle before the Cultural Relics Bureau and the Imperial City Department come, and let them find Minister Li, who is better at solving them."
Lin Qingsheng skillfully pushed the trouble to his immediate boss.
The policeman digging a hole below couldn't help but laugh as he heard Lin Qingsheng's voice:
"Minister Li is really in trouble when he meets Team Lin."
Lin Qingsheng shook his head and said:
"How can I say that? Old Li is a great man."
Lin Qingsheng knew that his minister was a good person, otherwise he would not be able to sit at his current position.
So he beat and scolded Lao Li.
Lin Qingsheng quarreled with the police for a while, then took the dug out, confirmed that there was nothing underneath, and quickly asked someone to start filling the pit.
"I'll leave first. I have to try to return to Yucheng after reporting before noon, otherwise I'll probably be blocked in Lao Li's office, which would be a bad thing."
Lin Qingsheng took the bamboo slips and left.
After arriving in the car, he began to look at the bamboo slips placed in the evidence bag. The bamboo slips showed a dark red color, and although they were just unearthed, they didn't feel old at all.
Lin Qingsheng took advantage of the car to start and sat in the back seat to unfold the bamboo slips.
The bamboo slips are carved in regular script, with vigorous brushwork and walking like a dragon and a snake.
It was vaguely like a tiger roaring in the mountains.
Lin Qingsheng lowered his head and touched the gradually raised words, and couldn't help but recall what the puppet said.
This thing says the reasons why ghosts and gods come?
Lin Qingsheng thought of this, took a breath and continued to read:
"A monk was wrong when he was in his eighties; how could the mediocre and vulgar people know us?
My young man was so strong that he was well-versed in the three religions, read hundreds of schools of thought, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, astronomy and geography, and was well-versed in everything he had to take advantage of. Later, he learned the art of slaying dragons and claimed to be the best in the world.
After being born, I knew that there were Liu Bowen, Qingtian, who could help the country, support the real dragon, kill the dragon veins, and escape the world, and suppress heroes.
When I saw the hunting, I started to try it out and fight between heaven and earth.
Use the technique of slaying dragons, display the method of trapping abyss, lock the dragon into the well, and reopen the world for five hundred years.
Such a big situation is a pity that Liu Bowen died early. How can the mediocre man in heaven and earth know me?
Yao Guangxiao.”
Looking at Yao Guangxiao's signature at the end, Lin Qingsheng pinched the bamboo slip in his hand, his head was a little confused.
Reopen the world?
What's the meaning?
Therefore, the ghosts and gods that appear today are all because of Yao Guangxiao’s reopening of the world.
Didn’t that mean there were ghosts and gods before?
It is because Liu Bowen has lost the connection between heaven and earth, so there are no ghosts and gods in the past five hundred years.
Then why does Liu Bowen want to be able to distinguish between heaven and earth?
Why did Yao Guangxiao take more than five hundred years to open up the world?
Where is the sky?
Lin Qingsheng felt that one problem after another in his mind.
But no answer was answered, but he knew who did the ghosts and gods.
Lin Qingsheng couldn't help but think of the mutton man. This was really a bit unnecessary news.
What is the puppet planning?
Lin Qingsheng felt that the strange puppet must have big plans.
The investigation of this case is getting deeper and deeper.
It seems that it can't stop.
Closed his eyes, Lin Qingsheng leaned on the back of the car and exhaled.
"Damn, I really hope this is a dream!"
