Patrol Captain

"And this Baoqing Prefecture was one of the places he passed through on his way east. According to legend, this arhat preached here and built a temple, which is the Tianlong Temple."

"It is rumored that there is a Buddha bone relic enshrined inside!"

"Buddha's bone relic?" Chen Yuan heard the word and couldn't help but listen. He suddenly recalled that he had received a piece of finger bone from the golden-winged demon from the Western Pure Land. He became interested and asked, "Tell me in detail, what is the origin of this thing?"

Gongsun Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I just heard it from others. I like to read some miscellaneous articles and records. I occasionally heard this rumor. I don't know whether it is true or not. Moreover, it is not within the scope of this kind of legend. Therefore, I don't know."

When he was telling stories, he traveled all over the country, and wherever he went, he loved to collect some local anecdotes and ancient rumors. There were many rumors about Tianlong Temple in the vicinity, so he had heard about the news of Tianlong Temple.

Unexpectedly, he didn't know that someone knew what the Buddha's bone relics were.

"There is a Buddha bone relic in the Shendu Prison!"

The person who spoke was Deputy Inspector Gou Yue.

"Sarira is the product of the Buddhist precepts, concentration, and wisdom. It is very difficult to obtain. The best merit field is the object of Nirvana of the great Buddhist masters. At the very least, one has to be like the general, stepping into the dragon and tiger, to have a chance of obtaining it."

At this point, Gou Yue's face turned serious and he glanced at Gongsun Yang.
"As for the Buddha bone relics, I don't know if you heard it wrong, but there are also differences among the relics. If a relic can be called Buddha bone, it means that it is a Buddha who has passed away. This is a legendary celestial being. If this level of thing existed in the Tianlong Temple, it would not be unknown in the court, and I, the Patrol of the Sky, would not be unaware of it."

His meaning was very clear. The rumor must be false. If there were Buddha relics in Tianlong Temple, they would not have heard of it. Who knows how many people would be curious about it.

Gongsun Yang nodded in agreement. "What the Supervisor said is correct. Indeed, the rumor is halfway through. It is said that when the previous dynasty fell, the Tianlong Temple was in disaster. Someone massacred the temple and burned it down. The Buddha bone relic in the temple disappeared without a trace. The current Tianlong Temple was rebuilt after the disaster."

"There is a certain mystery in this, so I remember this rumor very clearly!"

Indeed, the Western Pure Land, the Arhats' eastward journey, the Buddha's bone relics, the tragic destruction of the temple, and the old events of the previous dynasty are all elements with a strong sense of mystery when taken alone. Such rumors can indeed add a bit of mystery to Tianlong Temple.

"Lord Gou just said that there is a Buddha bone relic in the Shendu Prison?" Chen Yuan's attention was attracted by Gou Yue. His brows moved with curiosity.

"Why is this extremely rare item in the prison?"

When Gou Yue saw Chen Yuan asking about this, he frowned and hesitated for a moment, but only for a moment. Although such secrets were not easily told to outsiders, he had only heard a few words, so it didn't matter if he said it out loud. His expression became a little serious.

"There is a big prison under the Patrol of the Sky. Those who are in it are the most vicious beings in the world, including demons, ghosts, monsters, and all kinds of turbidity. There are undead creatures dug out from the ground, and a piece of flesh and blood that cannot be destroyed and can cause a disaster. All kinds of incredible beings are suppressed here."

"That piece of Buddha's bone relic is in the prison, and it is suppressed there because of its evil nature."

"According to records, this Buddha bone relic is extremely evil. No matter how sinful one's heart is, if one comes into contact with it for a long time, it can convert one, purify one's six senses, and allow one to enter Buddhism and attain the state of emptiness."

"Humans have seven emotions and six desires. If the six senses are extinguished and become a piece of stone, it is equivalent to killing and cutting off the self. What is the point?"

"Moreover, everyone who has been in contact with it for a long time has wanted to swallow the Buddha's bone relic and dissolve it into their body. There are several incidents recorded, and the results are unknown. Moreover, it happened a long time ago. Later, this object was suppressed in the depths of the prison and sealed off layer by layer. Even in the prison full of evil creatures, it is a taboo."

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up as he listened to the deputy inspector's story.

From his description, although only a few words, he could tell that the things suppressed in this prison were all extremely evil, and he had never heard of them before. It seemed that Shu was only a corner of the world after all, and he needed to go out more often and see more.

As for things like Buddha's bone relics, they are obviously mysterious and not something to be taken lightly.

"After hearing what Lord Gou said, it seems that if we really encounter this thing, it is better not to touch it easily."

"The so-called Pure Land in the West, from my perspective, may not be that peaceful."

When he said this, his eyes were cold and pointed.

The Eight Demon Kingdoms and the Western Pure Land are closely connected. The so-called Eight Divisions of Buddhism are ready to make a move and have been attacking the border repeatedly. General Qi Tian has been stationed there and cannot get away at all. The last time a message was sent, the situation on the battlefield over there seemed to be getting more and more tense.

Sooner or later there will be a big battle!
Xu Shaoqing and Gou Yue also understood the meaning of his words, looked at each other, and agreed with him.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by the waiter's flattering voice.

"Sir, your food and drinks are here!"

While Chen Yuan and his companions were having dinner, a group of people were walking along the wide road outside the inn.

There were about 30 guards in two rows, all of them were riding horses, holding standard swords, wearing white outer coats and leather armor, all of them were full of vigor and looked like they were not easy to mess with. These people were guarding on both sides, and in the middle was a vermilion carriage, which was luxuriously decorated, and it was obvious that it belonged to a wealthy and prominent family.

The carriage passed through the street, and the pedestrians on the street seemed to know whose carriage it was, and they all made way for it. Then they stretched their heads to look at the vermilion carriage, causing some commotion.

Some of the young men, in particular, could not help but use their bodies to push through the bustling crowd, their eyes moving and casting admiring glances, as if they wanted to see clearly what the person in the carriage looked like.

"That's the carriage that belongs to the governor!"

"I heard that the prefect's daughter is extremely beautiful, gentle and noble, and she is still unmarried. I heard that many young masters of noble families and high-ranking officials in the prefecture have even stepped forward to win the favor of this daughter, but no one has been able to capture her heart."

"She has lived in seclusion for a long time, and I don't know how many young talents have wanted to see her but were unable to do so."

"It's really curious!"

"."

There were whispers among the crowd, and they looked at the scarlet carriage with awe, admiration, and curiosity.

Some young men even tried to show off by singing to the wind and the moon, and deliberately making their voices louder in order to attract the attention of the people in the carriage and get them to take a look, but the curtains remained motionless.

At this time, when the team passed by the Wangxian Pavilion Inn, a guard accompanying on the right was paying attention to the crowd on the roadside at all times. He inadvertently glanced at the stables where carriages and horses were parked on the side of the inn and noticed several silver horses.

The silver horse's fur was as white as gilded silver, and its mane was like clouds. It was extremely beautiful and stood out among the horses in the stable.

The guard had a deep memory of this silver horse, having seen it before on the official road. It was so fast that he could not catch up with it.

His eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately pulled up the reins and came to the side of the red carriage, leaning slightly to pass on a message to the young lady inside.

"Miss, I just saw the carriage you asked me to chase on the official road."

As soon as these words fell, the curtain on the side of the carriage opened slightly.

"where?"

The sound is clear and without a trace of impurities.

"It's at Wangxian Pavilion Inn."

Unexpectedly, there were pedestrians with their heads raised on both sides of the carriage, and the woman inside was not seen.

At this moment, the crowd watching the excitement on the roadside caught a glimpse of the woman's face and exclaimed in excitement.
"I saw!"

Then there was a commotion.

The guard beside the carriage saw this, glanced fiercely, and the knife in his hand popped out of the scabbard, which scared the guys so much that they shrank their necks back and dared not say a word.

The curtain was quickly lowered, and the woman inside did not continue to look around. Only a voice came from inside.
"Go back home first, it's just a small matter, don't draw attention to yourself. Afterwards, go check on the people in that carriage and ask who sang that song. Don't abuse your power and cause displeasure, and don't reveal your identity." "Yes, miss!"

Later, the team of carriages and horses continued to move forward and came to the back door of a heavy-building mansion. It had a high gate and a large courtyard, and was guarded by soldiers and armor, which looked quite extraordinary.

At the back door, a bunch of people came out to greet us.

Yingying and Yanyan were all girls, maids, and nannies, about 20 to 30 people, all dressed in gorgeous clothes.

"Miss is back!"

A group of people swarmed to the carriage.

Then, the door curtain of the vermilion carriage opened, and a petite maid with pretty features and a delicate figure, wearing a green skirt, bent down and walked out.

Then, the maid got off the carriage, stretched out her hand, and called out in a tender voice, "Miss 1"

Soon, under everyone's gaze, the carriage curtain moved slightly, the agarwood strings collided, making a crackling sound, the wide sleeves of crimson Shu brocade came out first, followed by the moon-white skirt with lotus pattern dragging on the ground, and the Baoxiang flowers embroidered with gold thread bloomed on the hem, swaying as the woman touched the ground on her toes. A crimson shawl cascaded down from her shoulders, and on it a double butterfly pattern embroidered with peacock feather thread could be vaguely seen, lifelike.

The woman had her hair tied up in a long ponytail, without any embellishment except for a red ribbon. Her face was round and fair, her eyebrows were as dark as distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water reflecting the stars, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised with just the right smile, her temperament was like an orchid in a valley, embellished with nobility.

A group of maids and servants surrounded the woman like stars surrounding the moon, and bowed to her in greeting.

The woman walked out of the crowd and bowed to several graceful and richly dressed ladies one by one.

"Mother, Second Mother, Third Mother."

"My daughter is back from visiting friends!"

The voice was gentle, yet a little playful.

The woman in the lead, dressed in black and gold Shu brocade, with a jade hairpin on her head, with traces of time in the corners of her eyes, looked at her daughter in front of her with a doting smile, lifted up the woman's hands, and touched the other's hands to see if they were thin or not.

"Just come back safe and sound!"

As she spoke, the woman looked at Xiao Cui, the maid beside her daughter.

"Xiao Cui, go to the account office later to collect the money for the accompanying people! It will be distributed according to each person's previous monthly allowance."

"Yes."

At this time, several women nearby also gathered around enthusiastically.
"Yu'er seems to have lost weight during this visit to the friend."

"Come on, come on, Sanniang, I asked the servants to prepare your favorite dishes. We have to make up for it."

Several people chatted with each other, seeming to reveal their love for the woman, but their subtle expressions showed a hint of flattery, even compliments.

At this time, the woman named Yu'er, facing the care and concern of several aunts, was looking behind the door. She looked at her mother.
"Mother, where is my aunt?"

"Every time I come back, my aunt is there." As she said this, her tone sounded a little disappointed and anxious.

Seeing her like this, her mother knew that she had a deep relationship with her aunt, so she sighed and said, "Your aunt's old illness has relapsed, and she is recuperating in the backyard."

As soon as these words came out, the woman immediately lifted up her skirt which was touching the ground and rushed in through the back door, looking very worried.

"Miss"

"Miss!"

A group of maids and nannies quickly followed.

His mother looked at him and called out twice, "When you come back, you must see your father first."

Seeing that shouting a few times had no effect, he could only sigh, "Forget it, forget it, she has been loved by her aunt since she was a child, and the master won't say anything anyway."

At this time, in front of this mansion, in a large study room filled with the scent of books and ink, a man wearing a scarlet flying bird official uniform was sitting at the table.

Below, there was a man wearing black clothes and a white coat, kneeling on one knee with an official sword in his hand.

"Sir, someone from the prefecture sent a letter saying that the disciples of Tianlong Temple and Taibai Dongtian are fighting on the city wall tonight. Keep the outer loose and inner tight. The prefecture army will maintain order on the city wall. They want our government to pay attention to the order in the city, fearing that someone will take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble."

The person sitting in the hall was Li Xun, the governor of Baoqing Prefecture!

The Baoqing prefect nodded and said, "This official and the prefect have discussed this matter in advance. You go downstairs to arrange for the staff. After the evening drum is sounded, send all the people in the yamen out to focus on the West City."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the messenger immediately stood up, bowed, took the handrail, stepped back a few steps, then turned and left the study.

After dealing with this matter, the Baoqing prefect frowned.

The fights between these martial arts sects are the most difficult to deal with, especially since the disciples of the two sects this time are both prominent.

One is a disciple from the Secluded Cave Heaven, and the other is said to be the most gifted Buddhist disciple in Tianlong Temple in the past hundred years!

Both of them are huge monsters for Baoqing Prefecture.

Therefore, they could not beat or scold them in the government office, and they had to serve them carefully.

Not only did they provide them with a venue, but they also mobilized the military and sent people to maintain order.

Nowadays, there are many people from other places coming to the city to watch the excitement. Many of them are the kind of people who like to watch the excitement and are afraid that something might happen.

The knights break the law with force, and these people are the least willing to be bound by rules, so trouble is inevitable. He and the local lord are troubled by this.

Li Xun frowned, and suddenly he heard something beside his ear.

"What's going on in the backyard?"

"Your Excellency, it's the young lady who's back!"

When Li Xun heard this, his frown relaxed, he stood up, opened the door, and a smile appeared on his face.

He hasn't seen his daughter for half a month.

But he had only taken a few steps out of the door when he was interrupted by hurried footsteps.

I saw the Yamen captain coming over in a hurry.
"A letter from the general!" (End of this chapter)
