The Famen Temple built based on the mountains and forests is divided into the lower courtyard and the upper courtyard.

The lower court was specially used for the nobles and nobles in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, for ordinary people to visit gods and worship Buddhas and pray for blessings. The upper court was used for disciples in the temple and for the royal family to practice. When the emperor came to burn incense and worship Buddhas, he also lived in the upper court.

Famen Temple is the largest temple in the Tang Dynasty. It received full support from the court. The temple was incense and pilgrims continued to flow. It is even known as a royal temple, which shows that the background is extremely not simple.

In the 14th year of Xiantong, Famen Temple ushered in another peak. The Buddha bones sent from Da'anguo Temple in Chang'an were stored in Famen Temple. This was an edict issued by Emperor Yizong of Tang. It is not an ordinary honor to store Buddha bones.

There were countless houses built around the lower courtyard of Famen Temple, most of which were made by relying on the consumption of the Famen Temple pilgrims. Once upon a time, this place was also very popular, with a faint sense of prosperity in the capital.

The biggest feature of Famen Temple is that it is closely connected with the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. Since Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty, every emperor believed in Buddhism, and every emperor had to visit Famen Temple. This has led the great officials and nobles and ordinary people to believe in Buddhism. Every year, countless people come to Famen Temple to visit.

This is of course a blessing for Buddhism. It also greatly increased the reputation of Famen Temple in Buddhism and became the most famous temple in the Tang Dynasty. Monks from many temples across the country came here to hold orders and recognized the leadership of Famen Temple in Buddhism.

The upper courtyard of Famen Temple, the secret room of the Sutra Pavilion.

The abbot Master Xuanzhi sat cross-legged on the couch, holding a letter in his hand, and looked at it carefully, his face looked particularly solemn.

Master Zhizang Xuanhui stood aside and seemed to be full of worries.

After a long time, Master Xuanzhi spoke.

"Junior Brother Xuanhui, can anyone else know about Mr. Li's letter?"

Master Xuanhui frowned, sighed inwardly, and spoke slowly.

"Abbot, a few days ago, Mr. Li sent someone to send a letter. The person who came was very cautious and asked for a visit in the name of a pilgrimage. He said that this letter could only be known to the senior brother of the abbot and a certain person. The person who came showed a jade plaque and met him. The five others in the temple knew about this."

"Junior Brother Xuanhui, it is of great importance. In the meditation hall tomorrow, you ask to go out and exchange Buddhist scriptures with other temples. Take this opportunity to go to Huolong Village, Wuling County to find out the news and try your best to find Mr. Li and his family. The master is in seclusion and practices. When the master comes out of seclusion, he will inform you of everything and ask the master to decide. Mr. Li's child, Nakkun, was injured. Judging from the situation in the letter, it is very likely that the meridians were injured. Such serious injuries are not caused by ordinary people. If you want to be truly treated, you must bring people to Famen Temple, otherwise there is no other way."

"Abbot, I will do my best to do it."

"From the letter from Mr. Li, he has predicted the danger and wants to send his child Nakkun to this temple. Your mission is difficult. If Mr. Li has encountered an accident, be sure to see who is still alive. No matter what happens, you must take it back to this temple. Remember."

"Abbot, Senior Brother, Shu said frankly that since Mr. Li discovered the danger, he would either find a way to avoid the danger and moved to another place, or he encountered danger and his life was worrying. When he went to Huolong Village, he would probably not find anything."

Xuanhui's face showed a look of embarrassment, probably because he had something to say, so it was hard to say.

"Mr. Xuanhui, you know that the principle of Famen Temple is to not participate in the affairs of the world. Even if it is a royal matter, after so many years, can it be really done? In fact, it is impossible. Even if you can break the grudges between the world and the world, can you avoid the title of the royal temple? Before handing over this burden to someone, you once said something specifically: Buddhism is a quiet place, but Buddhism is not a place to hide filth and filth, Buddhism is not a place to escape from disasters, and it should be responsive to the scorpion. My Buddha is compassionate and punish evil. Some things must be taken by Famen Temple."

Xuanhui's face turned slightly red.

"I keep in mind the teachings of my senior brother of the abbot, and I will definitely try my best to find the whereabouts of Mr. Li."

"Junior Brother Xuanhui, now it is an extraordinary period. You must act carefully. The capital is very unstable and there are some bad signs. You and Mo are both Buddhists, so try to interfere with them as little as possible. Although Famen Temple cannot completely shirk things outside the secular world, you and someone can't take the initiative to intervene."

Xuanhui's face turned slightly red again, but this time he didn't speak.

All Xuanhui's expressions could not escape Xuanzhi's eyes. He sighed slightly. Xuanzhi closed his eyes and stopped talking. Xuanhui also stood up, folded his hands together, saluted the abbot, and turned around and left the secret room of the Sutra Pavilion.

After Xuanhui left, Xuanzhi opened his eyes, looked at the direction where Xuanhui left, and murmured to himself.

"Junior Brother Xuanhui, I hope you don't fall in love with things in the world. The master once said that after he is in seclusion, the world will be in chaos, and only in chaos can it be ruled. This is a cycle of cause and effect. There are heroes in troubled times, but you are not that person. The ending of forcing a strong lead is very tragic."

Xuanzhi's expression was very solemn. In fact, after receiving a letter from Li Qi, he felt that something was wrong. Li Qi would never write a letter until he had no choice. This was very dangerous. Famen Temple is not a quiet place. It has become another battlefield for the court. Many monks in the temple are not devoutly devoted to Buddha. Many people think that through the reputation of Famen Temple, they can reach the powerful, join the court, and enter the power class. Xuanzhi can see all the things clearly. Although he is an abbot, he cannot stop some things.

The royal family attached great importance to Famen Temple, which made Famen Temple extremely develop. It was the greatest affirmation that it could preserve Buddha bones. However, this kind of development would cost a price. The master asked himself to take over the position of abbot because he was plagued by these mundane things and delayed his practice.

The emperor passed away six years ago. Due to the inheritance of the throne, there was a change within the court. Xuanzhi remembered it very clearly. It was precisely because of that change that King Li Qi of Wei and King Li Yi of Liang fled from the capital. The eunuchs began to completely control the government. In this matter, Famen Temple almost suffered a certain degree of blow. Fortunately, Xuanzhi's master, the abbot of Famen Temple, relied on his huge reputation to stabilize the situation. However, after stabilizing the situation, the master insisted that he no longer served as the abbot of Famen Temple.

When I think of Li Qi, Xuan Zhi, who was originally a pure person with six senses, felt a little painful inside.

Li Qi is not an ordinary person. When he was young, he converted to Buddhism as a lay disciple and became a lay disciple who was registered by the master. Of course, this kind of conversion to Buddhism is mostly to beg for the Buddha's blessing, not to sincerely express his sincere desire to Buddha.

Li Qi and Xuanzhi have a very good relationship. Although Li Qi cannot stay in Famen Temple for a long time, Famen Temple is more than 200 miles away from the capital Chang'an, and it takes a certain amount of time to get in and out, every time he comes to Famen Temple, Li Qi can have a chat with Xuanzhi. The two often forget the time and even have a long talk all night long.

Xuanzhi had a deep impression of Li Qi's youngest son Li Rupei.

When the master first met Li Rupei, he was shocked and thought that when this child grew up, his future was limitless and could not be covered by wealth and honor. However, this child would definitely encounter many hardships. This was God's arrangement and I personally cannot avoid it. The master repeatedly reminded Li Qi, saying that Li Rupei was very tough and suggested staying in Famen Temple. Unfortunately, Li Qi, who has always followed his orders, did not agree to the master's request, and no one knew why.

Xuanzhi had come into contact with Li Rupei many times. After careful observation, he did not feel that Li Rupei had any outstanding features, and he was not even as good as some powerful children who came to Famen Temple. For a while, Xuanzhi even doubted whether there was any deviation in his master's judgment. Apart from his handsome appearance and politeness, Li Rupei had nothing outstanding.

After leaving Chang'an, the capital six years ago, Li Qi had a premonition. During the escape, he came to Famen Temple and found his master. That time, Xuanzhi was also present. In that conversation, Li Qi talked about many things about the royal family, and begged the master and Xuanzhi that if he encountered an accident, he would like to take in the child Li Rupei, who had saved some gold, silver and treasures in Famen Temple.

No one knows about this matter, including the current emperor.

Strangely, after Li Qi left Famen Temple, the Shen Ce Army once went to Famen Temple specifically, suspected that Famen Temple was related to the escape of King Li Qi of Wei and King Li Lin of Liang, and even helped in this regard.

After escaping, Li Qi disappeared, and Xuanzhi didn't know where he was going. During this period, he had received several letters from Li Qi, all of which were reported to his safety, which also made Xuanzhi feel a little relieved.

But the situation this time was so strange. Why did Li Qi entrusting Junior Brother Xuanhui to submit such an important letter? Is the situation extremely urgent? You know, there is almost no contact between Li Qi and Xuanhui, and he also does not trust Xuanhui.

Although Xuanhui was a little restless as Zhizang of the Famen Temple, his master had long seen this. He once suggested that Xuanhui go out for a while. The so-called travel means to come into contact with many things in the world and fall into the world to see if he could transcend and whether he had a Buddhist connection. However, Xuanhui did not agree at that time, so the master did not force him.

Thinking of these things, a cloud appeared on Xuanzhi's face and sighed again. In the dark, he felt something happened to Li Qi. When the letter was sent, he might have encountered an unexpected accident and was no longer in the world. But the master praised Li Rupei, who was still alive in the world? The master once said that Li Rupei must encounter major changes in life and fall to the lowest point. Only in this way can he burst out his true abilities. That kind of energy is earth-shaking, otherwise he might be mediocre and mediocre all his life.
