The Big Wild Goose Pagoda has seven floors. The tower body is in the shape of a square cone, with bays formed by imitation wood structures. The two people climbed up along the wooden ladder inside the tower to the top floor. From the arched door openings on all sides, they leaned on the railings and looked into the distance. The majestic majesty of Chang'an City came into view.

eye.

Although it is winter, the lights of thousands of houses are brightly lit one after another. Such a huge landscape makes people think that they are in the Milky Way. Chen Ziang couldn't help but chant: "Chang'an Avenue is narrow and sloping, with green oxen and white horses and seven-scented carriages. Jade chariots cross the main land.

, golden whips are coming to the Hou family. It is indeed well-deserved!"

The two cuddled up against each other, immersed in the silver snow scene and the sea of ​​lights. As the sky darkened and the chill grew stronger, Zhou Meier shuddered, and Chen Ziang woke up and it was time to return to the Buzheng Posthouse. The two got off the pagoda and entered the monk's room and the Buddhist hall.

When the green lanterns were lit, it was the time for the monks to rest and eat. There were monks coming in and out of each monk's room, and tourists and believers had already left the temple.

But in the secluded monk's house on one side, there was still a lingering figure who hadn't left. Chen Ziang thought to himself: Could it be that this person was also attracted to Chang'an and this temple and didn't want to leave. He looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but feel stunned.

.That man was extremely obese. He was none other than Fatty Liu, the horse dealer from Luoyang, who assisted Wang Yangzong in hosting the tournament.

Fatty Liu stared at a closed dormitory, as if he was thinking about something. When he felt someone walking by, he turned around slightly in panic, and saw a pair of scholars and boys passing by. He calmed down and pretended to be pacing there in deep thought.

After disguising themselves, Chen Ziang and Zhou Meier knew that he could not recognize them, so they walked out of the mountain gate calmly. Chen Ziang just said: "I didn't expect to meet Fatty Liu here, it was a coincidence." Zhou Meier said: "Looking at him being sneaky, no.

You know what you are doing."

Chen Ziang thought for a while and said: "This person participated in the martial arts competition. It is said that he was hired by someone with a lot of money. He was probably on his way back to Luoyang." Then he thought again: "Why was he invited to co-organize and host the martial arts competition instead of others?"

Maybe he knew a wide range of people in the world? This may be a reasonable explanation. The two hurried back to the post house, and Chen Ziang could not forget Fatty Liu.

***

The next day, Chen Ziang decided to look for Fatty Liu, maybe he could get information about his second owner. He really regretted missing Fatty Liu yesterday, so he asked Zhou Meier to go to various inns to inquire, hoping to find Fatty Liu.

The two separated, and Chen Ziang went straight to the Ci'en Temple. If Fatty Liu stayed at an inn, it would most likely be near Ci'en Temple. To his surprise, several monks stood at the door of Ci'en Temple, reaching out to block his way. Ci'en Temple

It was stolen last night!

The former residence of Xuanzang, the late abbot of Ci'en Temple, was stolen! Someone sneaked into Xuanzang's room, pried open a bluestone floor, and took away a mysterious object inside. No one could tell clearly what it was.

No one thought that Master Xuanzang’s room seemed empty, but there were secrets buried under the floor. Some people said that what was stolen was a sacrificial dagger used for slaughtering animals. It was Gaozong

The emperor gave it to Xuanzang. As for where Emperor Gaozong got the dagger, no one can tell.

It is very likely that a dagger was stolen, because Xuanzang did not take anything with him when he passed away. But the dagger was missing.

This is really a strange thing. The meditation room of a highly respected old master who has been dead for many years has been stolen. Chen Ziang went around to inquire about Fatty Liu and heard speculations from various inns about the theft of Ci'en Temple.

Finally, in an inn in the center of the city, someone recognized Fatty Liu, whom Chen Ziang was looking for. After all, Fatty Liu knew a wide range of people, and there were many people who knew him. "Are you looking for Fatty Liu, the horse dealer in Luoyang? He came early in the morning

Then he left the inn and looked in the direction of the east gate." The waiter remembered clearly that Fatty Liu often came to sell horses and often stayed at their inn.

When Chen Ziang returned to the Buzheng Posthouse, Zhou Meier also heard about the theft of Ci'en Temple. Zhou Meier said seriously: "I think Fatty Liu is very suspicious, at least there is a serious suspicion."
