From Chapter Seven of Xuanjun

Chapter 186 Dajue Temple

"Tick-tock-"

In the dark tunnel, drops of water kept falling, and two figures, one man and one donkey, walked quickly on the water.

To build a long-lasting city, various projects are essential.The buildings on the ground must be appropriate, and the underground facilities must also be complete.

The culvert is an essential facility in a city.

Given the vast area of ​​the capital, if there is no suitable underground canal for drainage, once heavy rain occurs, half of the capital will be flooded.

At this moment, Shen Yi and the donkey are going through the undercurrent.

The underground canals under the capital are known as Fengjing in the shadows because of their wide distribution and complicated passages. If someone familiar with the terrain leads the way, you only need to drill into the underground canals, and you can walk across most of the capital.

Although Shen Yi is not familiar with the terrain, he has already arranged a corresponding pawn in the capital - Iron Arhat.

Because he brought back enough information to the Sanfa Division, Tie Luohan was not too implicated. Although he was demoted, as long as he is still alive and his job can be kept, with Tie Luohan's ability, he will be able to climb back to his original position sooner or later .

With the helper of Tie Luohan, although Shen Yi came to the capital for the first time, he was very familiar with the general situation of the capital.

"The golden body relic is in the Dajue Temple in Chongmingfang. If you go from here... it will take about thirty miles."

Shen Yi estimated the distance silently in his heart and led the way ahead. The donkey was quite surprised by that familiar look.

But what really surprised him was the location of the golden body relic.

"Dajue Temple?" The donkey smacked his lips, "I knew there were relics there, and I would never miss it when I passed the capital."

Dajue Temple is the place where Master Sanzang stayed after returning from the Maurya Dynasty.This temple was originally built outside the capital city, but due to the expansion of the capital city several times, this temple was also included, which happened to be a place directly accessible by the underground canal.

After Master Sanzang returned to the Central Plains, he translated scriptures in Dajue Temple and stayed there for 20 years.The orthodoxy of the Consciousness-Wei School was also established during this time.

Later, for some unknown reason, Master Sanzang suddenly took all the disciples of the Weizhi sect to move out overnight, leaving only an empty temple, and only then did the Daci'en Temple appear.

"Because Dajue Temple used to be the residence of Master Sanzang, no other Buddhist practitioners dared to occupy this place even if all the Weishi sects left. After a long time, the temple, which was once a great holy place for Buddhism, gradually It became a place where only ordinary monks lived."

Shen Yi's figure was erratic, his long hair carried his body like a feather, and while he was shuttling through the complicated dark canals, he said casually: "Let's not say it's you, even people in the Buddhist sect, I'm afraid not many people would think of Dajue Temple." There will be the golden body relic of Master Tripitaka."

If one knew that the golden body relics of such Buddhist great virtues were in Dajue Temple, then people in the Buddhist sect would not rush to "look at them".

If after so many years of "admiration", Shen Yi estimated that when it was his turn, there would be only one tablet left for him to pay homage to.

"Yes." The donkey grinned.

One person and one donkey walked in the dark canal with seven bends and eight turns, but they didn't meet other people.Tie Luohan was leading the people from the Sanfa Department around on the other side, and all forces in the capital were also staring at Chen Tianyuan, but not many people would think about looking for the junior Invincible Under Heaven.

What's more, these underground canals are all over the underground of the capital, even if there are others inside, it is difficult to come across them.

The distance of thirty miles is not too far for the two, even if the underground canal is complicated, it only took Shen Yi a moment of effort.

When he and the donkey came out of the remote culvert, the majestic temple buildings surrounded by red walls, towering Buddhist pagodas, and towering ancient cypresses came into view of each person and the donkey.

After all, it used to be the place where Master Sanzang lived for 20 years. Even without the abbot of Daci'en Temple, it still shows grandeur and magnificence without the slightest sign of dilapidation.

The emperors of all dynasties have repaired this temple. Although this dynasty is advocating Taoism, there is still no shortage of funds for repairs and maintenance.

It is still daytime, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going.

The tension of swords thirty miles away did not affect the prosperity of this place, and many people didn't even know that the Imperial Army had appeared outside the palace.

The capital is so big that it takes a day for a message to spread.

Shen Yi's eyes rolled slightly, and with a light grip, he used illusion to transform into a young man in a white shirt. He brought the donkey to the gate of Dajue Temple, and his eyes fell on the stupa that seemed to be flying in the sky.

—— Mahayana Pagoda.

According to Chen Tianyuan, the golden body relic of Master Sanzang is on this stone pagoda.

The Dajue Temple is full of ordinary monks, even if someone has a little knowledge of martial arts, they can't stop Shen Yi's footsteps, if there is no accident, he should be able to take the relics lightly.

One person and one donkey went straight through the mountain gate along with the flow of people, and the Zhike monks guarding the mountain gate should not see the donkey entering the temple.

Not only the monks, but even the pilgrims who came and went seemed to have never seen this donkey with bloody eyes. Occasionally, they glanced at it, and they passed directly.

A mysterious atmosphere distorted their five senses, making them turn a blind eye to Shen Yi and the donkey, and subconsciously avoided them.

The structure of the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Hall of Seven Buddhas, the Hall of Great Heroes, the Tower of Sutras, and the Dajue Temple are roughly the same as those of Linglong Iron Temple, but the details are less complicated and magnificent.

As a serious Buddhist monk, Shen Yi naturally wouldn't mistake his way, walked through the main halls all the way, and soon entered the bamboo forest where the stone pagoda was.

The climate of near winter does not seem to have affected this place. The bamboo forest is lush and lush, which is not like winter at all. A faint aura wanders in the forest, making the donkey beside him sneeze.

"Smells like a bald donkey."

The donkey stood upright, rubbed its hoof against its nose, and said with a grin: "Little bald donkey, it seems that you are not lucky today."

He obviously said these words to Shen Yi, but to someone's ears, he said them to himself.

"Amitabha."

The two green bamboos suddenly bent downwards, and with a crisp sound, they bent until they were half a foot above the ground, and then lifted them up again.

A figure appeared stepping on the tops of the two green bamboos, his body swayed up and down along with the green bamboos, like a urchin.

"Monk, I think it's very lucky. Not long after I came to the capital, I met a suspicious person."

Wearing a white cassock and a white monk's robe, the rosary hanging around his neck was also pure white. He stepped on the rippling green bamboo, and said in a cynical tone: "One man benefactor, one donkey benefactor, two benefactors. Can you give up resistance and let the monk give me two palms, so that I won't be able to hold back my strength and hurt you too much?"

"That's a very good idea," Shen Yi said with a light smile, "Monk, please give up resisting and let me slap you. This way, I won't have to waste a lot of energy, and you don't have to worry about being accidentally attacked by me." Killed."
