Chapter 376 Baoyuan Temple

The last place on the map is the cemetery, which is the place where Qin Shuya's parents are buried. Qin Shuya knows that she should meet that person, whether it is the messenger who wants to save her, or arranges everything Anyone who wanted to harm her should be able to end it.

She thought simply, prepared a lot of sharp weapons, and went to that place alone with the thought of dying together, but Li Xiruo called.

Qin Shuya took the bus all the way, and took a few more buses before arriving at the place Li Xiruo told her. When she got off the bus, she watched as Li Xiruo also arrived there slowly.

She stepped forward in confusion: "Why did you ask me to come to the local library, the last one is obviously the cemetery."

Li Xiruo looked up at the old library, which has a mixture of place and time. Although it is not as luxurious and glamorous as those newly built buildings, it hides the memories of past dynasties, the spirit of people today, and the things that can inspire the future. thing.

Li Xiruo turned around and grabbed Tan Shuya's hand, her sleeves shrunk down, revealing the luck bead she had been carrying all along: "Do you know what this is?"

Tan Shuya looked at a small black and gold bead passing through the black thread in her hand: "Isn't it a transfer thing? Maybe it just looks a little strange."

Li Xiruo listened and smiled: "You also know that this bead looks unusual, right? It's not the same as ordinary beads at all."

Tan Shuya lowered her head and touched the bead. She bought it at a street stall and it wasn't worth a lot of money, but the seller said that the bead was destined for her and might help her out of trouble, so she took it with her. , but thinking about it now, this bead is completely different from what she saw before.

"This is a curse bead. Have you seen the Sanskrit on it? It's a passage in Buddhist scriptures. It's something that eminent monks meditate and chant. It stands to reason that such curse beads should be displayed in temples after their death, or It was passed down in the hands of Buddhist disciples, but it appeared in your hands."

Qin Shuya bit her lips: "You mean that someone gave me this spell bead on purpose."

"The curse bead can ward off evil spirits and all monsters. It is protecting you."

"Is that the monster who sent me the letter?"

Li Xiruo glanced at the curse bead: "Maybe it is, maybe it's not. Besides, we are not sure who sent the map. If we go to the cemetery rashly, won't we be in the hands of the other party?"

What Li Xiruo hates the most is following other people's path. They already understand the grievances and grievances of the few people back then, and they have to find the answer for the rest.

Tan Shuya also agreed with Li Xiruo's point of view at this time, but she didn't understand: "Then why did you remind me not to let Su Youxing know about this?"

Li Xiruo raised his eyebrows: "It's nothing, we're just here to find the county annals, there's no need for too many people."

Tan Shuya nodded, believing Li Xiruo's words.

They climbed up more than ten floors of stairs and walked into the library. The library looks huge from the outside, but the space inside is very small. Most people gather on the first floor, because there are only a few places for reading. Therefore, many people sit cross-legged on the ground or squat in the corner, concentrating on their books.

Qin Shuya glanced at the books on the bookshelf, the skins were all worn out, some were faded, some of the labels had already flown out, and there were very few new a books on the top.

Li Xiruo roughly said to her: "The things we want are on the third floor."

Full of doubts, Tan Shuya followed her up, bypassing the crowd sitting and reading in the stairwell, and asked in a low voice, "What exactly are we looking for?"

"Do you remember Qiu Ji?"

Tan Shuya nodded. Of course she would not forget that Zhou Xiaotian and Qi Quan would have died long ago if Qiu Ji hadn't been blocking that monster.

"At that time, his Buddhist beads were bitten off, and the beads were just scattered at my feet, so I saw his dharma name, which was Wuxu. After I checked, I found out that there was also a monk named Wuxu in Baoyuan Temple."

Tan Shuya remembered at this moment: "That Zhong Suyouxing said that it also belongs to Baoyuan Temple."

"Yes, so many coincidences, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. Now Baoyuan Temple is gone, but fortunately there are still local county records."

After all, what they are looking for has a long history and is relatively precious, so they can only ask the administrator to take them to find the original version of the information. The online version is not complete because of the niche, so it is difficult to find what they want.

The people in the library led them into a locked door and said: "The county chronicles here are all transcribed before. The original version was already destroyed because of the previous war. This transcribed version is an orphan. Are you From the History Department of University A, right, since you have a list made by the department, you should have borrowed this kind of thing before, so you know it can’t be damaged.”

"of course."

Li Xiruo smiled, and the administrator asked them to read it by themselves. Tan Shuya said anxiously: "Is the list forged? If we are found out, we won't be arrested."

"Don't worry, the seals are all real."

It was easy for her to get someone to open such a list in City A, and there was no need to forge it.

Baoyuan Temple has existed for hundreds of years. It used to be the most prosperous temple in this place. However, after the separatism of the feudal town and the Anshi Rebellion, it gradually declined. After the civil uprising broke out in Dazhong 13 years ago, it became the last straw that crushed the camel. There are endless wars everywhere, and this temple can't sustain it.

Tan Shuya looked up at the county annals from different years and felt dizzy: "How can I find so many?"

Li Xiruo didn't know which year Wuxu was in, but only knew that it was the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty had been going on for hundreds of years, and it would take three days and three nights to read the county chronicles one by one.

"We don't need to look for it."

Li Xiruo took out a piece of white paper and folded a villain, and only used cinnabar to draw a spell on it, and the villain immediately flew into the air, starting from the county annals in the early Tang Dynasty, and pasted his whole body on those books, paused After a few minutes, the next one started.

Qin Shuya looked at Qiqi and exclaimed: "This is so powerful, it is directly equivalent to the electronic search function."

Li Xiruo glanced at her: "Many precious materials have not been uploaded to the Internet. If you want to look up ancient things, you still need a lot of patience."

Tan Shuya nodded, and looked around again. There were not only county chronicles on the bookshelf, but also some early periodicals and magazines. She saw that it was still some time before she found them, so she went to have a look.

She walked to the bookshelf facing Li Xiruo and looked at the year and month of the periodicals on it. Just as she was looking carefully, a pair of red eyes suddenly appeared on the reflective horizontal strips carried by the bookshelf made of steel.

Tan Shuya didn't pay attention at first, but noticed a little scarlet in the corner of her vision, looked down curiously, and suddenly saw a pair of eyes, which made her scalp tingle, those red eyes were full of blood and murderous intent He stared at her intently, as if he wanted to skin her and cramp her.

The coldness made her cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, and took a step back in fear, but those eyes quickly disappeared.

She immediately turned around and looked through the gaps in the bookshelves to see if anyone was walking through the stacked books.

Sensing her abnormality, Li Xiruo turned her head and said, "What's wrong?"

Tan Shuya calmed down for a while, then shook her head at her: "It's okay, I might be a little nervous."

At this time, the villain also knew about Wuxu's information, and pulled out a book, which fell into Li Xiruo's hands, and Tan Shuya came up: "Have you found it?"

If Li Xi opened the book, it automatically turned to the page of Wu Xu.

It was the first year of Yanhe, the Zhou Dynasty had ended, Li Longji succeeded to the throne, and the world entered the prosperous Kaiyuan era. The local people all prayed for good health and family safety at Baoyuan Temple.

According to the county records, the next year, a young man who was very accomplished in Buddhism came to Baoyuan Temple. He came to Baoyuan Temple for a few days and listened to the lectures given by the host. , abruptly turned the place of vulgar talk into a place of debate on Buddhism. Although the views put forward are tricky, they are reasonable, but they have aroused criticism from many believers.

This young man is called Bai Ran, and he has a somewhat aloof personality, but the host liked him very much, and left him as a lay disciple in Baoyuan Temple, where he discussed Buddhism all day long. Because he is smart, he can often use metaphors to concretize tedious and abstract principles. , giving people a sudden enlightenment, so even though he has a bad temper, there are people who like to associate with him, and this person is Wuxu.

There are very few records about Wuxu, only that the monks' judgments on him are quite polarized, one is that he is too honest, and the other is that everything is easy to fight, and he must fight for the distinction between superiors and inferiors, and he is forced to explain himself. reason.

The few records above can only infer that Wu Xu liked this Bai Ran quite a bit, and the two of them discussed Buddhism all the time, even without sleep.However, because of Bai Ran's excellent medical skills, he helped the world and saved people, so he stayed at the foot of the mountain for a long time to save people and rarely went back to the temple.

Later, the abbot was not far from passing away, and he wanted to find a new disciple to inherit his position. He liked Bai Ran, but he was a lay disciple, and he needed to become a monk completely, but Bai Ran refused because of I don't want to shave my head, and I don't want to perm my scars.

Li Xiruo smiled when she saw this, Bai Ran has an arrogant personality. Although she is smart, she is really not a good candidate to host.

She turned to the next page, preparing to read what happened later, but she didn't expect that there was a really incomplete page waiting for her. She frowned and touched the jaggedness of the remaining pages. Seeing this, Tan Shuya said, "What's wrong with this page?" Was torn apart?"

If Li Xiruo looked back, there were only a few words left. After Bai Ran disappeared, Wu Xu also disappeared, and what was recorded later was how Baoyuan Temple declined, and there was no useful information.

Li Xiruo folded the book and looked at the jagged teeth, leaving only two words "becoming a demon".
