The royal family attached great importance to this Buddhist birthday. Emperor Jianhe not only ordered the two high men to go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense, but also ordered the inner palace to come forward and offer the Seven Treasures Relics Pagoda to worship in the temple. Shortly after Huo Qinghong entered Taichang Temple, Emperor Jianhe also felt that he needed to be trained, so he gave him this job.

Although the Seven Treasures Relic Pagoda was a treasure of Buddhism, it was given by the neighboring Qi Kingdom. It has been used for praying for blessings by the Tian family for many years. This time, Emperor He made a contribution to the relic pagoda, which also demonstrated his importance to Xiangguo Temple. Huo Qinghong originally thought that this job was ordinary, but he just followed the story, but he never expected that he would make a mistake when offering the treasure.

It was late at night when Huo Weilou arrived at Xiangguo Temple. The lights were brightly lit in Xiangguo Temple. Several elders in the temple, including the presidency and the monk, were all waiting in the abbot's room. Huo Qinghong waited anxiously at the door. The moment he saw Huo Weilou, he seemed to have seen a savior's bright eyes.

"Brother--" He quickly came up, his face turned into a little aggrieved, and before he could tell the reason, he sniffled.

Huo Weilou frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Huo Qinghong whispered: "The Buddha treasure is fake."

When Huo Weilou heard this, his expression suddenly changed, "Fake it?"

Huo Qinghong nodded, "Master Huineng, the host, has seen this Buddha treasure. He thinks this thing is fake. The two high men who came with him know about this and have already brought the eunuch from the inner palace to report to His Majesty. I know something is wrong, so I asked someone to go back to find my elder brother."

Huo Weilou frowned and entered the abbot's room. Several masters came out. After seeing the Buddhist rituals, they took Huo Weilou to see the Seven Treasures Relic Tower.

The Qibao Relic Tower is a square single-eaves, composed of a pedestal, a lotus seat, a tower body, a tower eaves, and a top of the brakes. The gold and jade ornaments stringed together with silver wire are embedded on it. The lifelike carvings of flowers, birds, fish and insects are even more extraordinary. The whole treasure is solemn, but it is extremely gorgeous. As soon as I saw this, Huo Weilou felt a solemn heart. From the perspective of shape, it was really the same as the Qibao Relic Tower in his impression.

Huo Weilou looked at the host Huineng: "I wonder if the master, why do you say this pagoda is false?"

Huineng looked solemn and pointed to the crystal □□ and crystal vajra carved on the pagoda and said, "This Seven Treasures Relic Pagoda has been worshipped in the Wanfo Temple in Daqi for a hundred years. During this period, a Buddha's head bone relic was also worshipped. It is the treasure of Daqi Buddhism. It was given to Dazhou eight years ago and was treasured by the royal family. There are many animals, fish and insects carved on this Relic Pagoda, and many Buddhist magic tools are also carved. □□ and vajra are two of them. However, the vajra on the Seven Treasures Relic Pagoda should be a human-shaped pestle with three strands at one end, but the carved here is a human-shaped pestle with two strands at one end. If one strand is missing, it will be very different. This thing is fake-"

Perhaps because he was afraid that Huo Weilou would not believe it, Huineng said again: "Thirty years ago, I had practiced the Dharma in Wanfo Temple in Daqi for a year. I knew the most about what this relic pagoda looked like. I would never remember it wrong. When Daqi came to give this item eight years ago, I went to the palace to visit him. What I saw at that time was also three human-shaped pestles. I remember it clearly."

Huo Weilou couldn't believe it anymore, and at this moment he felt that the problem was quite big. Huo Qinghong stood behind with a frown, "After Dazhou received this item, it was kept in the Treasury Treasure Department. How could it be fake?"

Huo Weilou frowned and said, "This matter is not a small matter. If the palace knows it, it will be necessary to send someone to verify it."

Huo Qinghong grabbed his head, "What should I do now?"

Huo Weilou looked at the bright night outside the window, "You don't have to do anything, wait for someone to come from the palace."

After Huo Weilou said this, he called a small official who was working with Huo Qinghong in Taichang Temple. The small official had been in Taichang Temple for a long time and knew more about the things in the yamen than Huo Qinghong. Huo Weilou asked where the seven treasure relic pagoda was placed in the past few years, and it was taken out from the Treasures Division. The small official said: "I took it out five years ago. It was during the Chinese New Year. The ritual of worshiping the sky was held in the palace. At that time, several masters in Xiangguo Temple also went to the palace to pray."

After saying this, several masters all thought of this and responded. Huo Weilou asked about the situation on that day. Huineng said: "I didn't look closely before that day, and I didn't know whether this thing was true or false at that time."

Huo Weilou asked again: "This object is also responsible for Taichang Temple in the main hall in the palace?"

The little official said: "That's right, it was the king back then--"

The little official's words came to an abrupt end, and he looked up at Huo Weilou with guilt. How could Huo Weilou not know what this person was thinking? Five years ago, the minister of Taichang Temple was Wang Qingfu, and Wang Qingfu was involved in the murder case of Famen Temple ten years ago and committed suicide in Famen Temple. Although the murder case was solved, the whereabouts of the relics of Famen Temple were still unknown.

Huo Weilou looked at the seven-treasure relics pagoda. This pagoda is also the most treasure of Buddhism. If the pagoda in front of him is fake, where did it go? The loss of the two Buddha treasures may be related to Wang Qingfu. Is this a coincidence?

Huo Qinghong said, "According to the master, only the magic weapon vajra carved on this pagoda is different from the real sacred pagoda. So who can distinguish it so carefully?"

The carvings of beasts and birds on the pagoda are complex and detailed, and a number of Buddhist magical instruments are dotted. If you don’t look closely, it is difficult to tell whether it is □□ or vajra. People who don’t understand Buddhist magical instruments cannot see the difference between one end and two strands and one end and three strands.

Huineng pondered for a moment, "This Buddha treasure has been famous for a long time. It has been in the Wanfo Temple in Daqi in its early years. In the Wanfo Temple, it only appears at the sacrificial ceremony such as Buddha's birthday. It is difficult to see pilgrims who are nobles on weekdays. Therefore, the host, elder, or the young monk who cares for this Buddha treasure must know. Next, I remember that there are two Buddha treasure maps in the world that have been passed down in the world, one in the royal family of Daqi, and the other was sent to Dazhou together, and now it is mostly in the Treasures Department."

Huo Qinghong understood, "There are hundreds of patterns carved on this pagoda. It is difficult to re-carve one exactly the same one after you just look at it for a moment, unless there is a Buddha treasure map."

"That's exactly what it means." Huineng nodded.

Huo Qinghong looked at Huo Weilou and saw that he looked solemn, and asked, "What are you thinking about, brother?"

Huo Weilou asked first: "Can anyone else know about this?"

Huineng shook his head, "Only five of us here know."

All the monks present were monks in charge of Xiangguo Temple. Huo Weilou said, "This matter is not allowed to be informed of outsiders for the time being."

After saying that, Huo Weilou asked again: "Does the master know that the Buddha bone relics of Famen Temple are lost?"

Huineng nodded naturally. Although the royal family was secretly informed, the monks from Xiangguo Temple knew that the Buddha bone relics were caused by the pain of Buddhism throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty. The royal family also asked several monks to help infer their whereabouts.

"Does that Buddha bone relic have a connection with this Seven Treasure Relic Tower?"

Huo Weilou asked this, Huineng couldn't help but look suspicious. After a moment, he shook his head, "There is no origin. The relics worshipped in this Seven Treasures Relic Pagoda were the Buddha's head bone relics left by the Buddha, and the relics in the Famen Temple were Buddha's finger bone relics. Moreover, the Buddha bone relics in the Famen Temple were wrapped in five treasures at the beginning of the world, which had nothing to do with the Seven Treasures Relic Pagoda."

Huo Weilou felt that he had thought too much when he heard this, but at this time Huineng said: "But... the relic in Wanfo Temple was destroyed in a fire decades ago. The Buddha bone relic in Famen Temple is the only Buddha bone relic in the world, which is extremely precious. The seven-treasure relic pagoda was worshipped in Wanfo Temple for a hundred years. It is blessed by the power of great wisdom and compassion for all Buddhas of the three ages. It can be said that the Three Jewels are based on the Dharma body of the Buddha. If there is another Buddha bone relic to be worshipped in it, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Buddha is alive in the world. Amitabha--"

Even though Huo Weilou did not believe in Buddhism, his mind was slightly shocked when he heard it. At this time, the night was already deep. Huo Weilou asked about some arrangements about Buddha's birthday today to ensure that all the regulations today are not wrong and omissions, someone came to the palace.

The person who came was Fuquan. As soon as he saw Huo Weilou, Fuquan said, "When I came, I went to the Marquis' Mansion first. I knew that the Marquis had come to Xiangguo Temple first, and the villain arrived without stopping. Your Majesty already knew about it and was very angry. Your Majesty intends to ask the Marquis to verify the matter. This is the decree written by Your Majesty himself."

Fuquan handed over a decree to Huo Weilou. After Huo Weilou started reading it, he said, "Dad father-in-law, come back and report to you. I will stay at Xiangguo Temple tonight to investigate the matters in the temple. I will return to the palace tomorrow to report to Your Majesty."

Even though the night was late, Fuquan dared not waste too much time, so he quickly left Xiangguo Temple at night.

Huo Weilou stayed in the temple and did not ask the people of Xiangguo Temple. Instead, he asked several Taichang Temple officials who followed Huo Qinghong in turn. When asked the last person in charge, Huo Weilou asked: "After Wang Qingfu was confiscated, do you know where his wife and children?"

This person in charge was valued by Wang Qingfu in the past and had many contacts with Wang Qingfu's family. Huo Weilou's question really made him nervous, "Wang Da... After Wang Qingfu's house was confiscated, his wife and children moved into the mansion, but they were still in the capital."
