Chapter 35 5. Puning Temple

Years of experience in criminal investigation made Lao Guan conclude that the person who wrote the anonymous letter to Qian Wantong must be someone close to him, and a rival in his official career. This person knows Qian Wantong's every move very well, especially Qian Wantong. Her lustful problems are well known. Lao Guan thought that this person was probably following Qian Wantong, so Lao Guan followed Qian Wantong by car every day.After tracking for two or three days in a row, nothing unusual was found, but Qian Wantong and the girl who was caught by Jiang Chunjie, the director of the West Railway Station Police Station last time, kept going to Gexian Hotel twice in three days.

Gexian Hotel is located on the west side of the West Railway Station, adjacent to the Municipal Postal Administration, and is a four-star hotel under the Municipal Postal Bureau.On the fourth day, Laoguan continued to follow Qian Wantong. Qian Wantong stayed in the administrative office building of the City Construction Bank all morning without any movement. At noon, he came out alone and walked a long way to get into a taxi. Lao Guan found a black Audi following the taxi. Step on the accelerator and follow. In order not to attract attention, Lao Guan deliberately drove an ordinary Santana, the taxi stopped in front of the Gexian Hotel, Qian Wantong got out of the taxi, and slipped into the Gexian Hotel like a thief.

After the black Audi car was parked, a middle-aged man with a suit on his arm got out. Lao Guan fixed his eyes and took a picture of this man with the camera he had prepared beforehand. Then he parked the car and entered Gexian University restaurant. When Lao Guan saw the middle-aged man going up the second floor along the semi-circular stairs, Lao Guan followed him leisurely, and the middle-aged man sneaked into the cafeteria. After Laoguan entered the cafeteria, he found that there were many people eating, and they were mixed. He looked around and found that Qian Wantong and a beautiful girl were sitting in an inconspicuous corner, talking and laughing while eating, followed by the middle-aged man who came in The man also sat in a corner and kept watching Qian Wantong and that beautiful girl.

Both Qian Wantong and the girl were immersed in the joy of having an affair, and they didn't even notice that someone was staring at them. Lao Guan just poured a drink and sat not far from the middle-aged man. Observing the middle-aged man, Lao Guan found that the man's arm was always Putting on the suit, Lao Guan suddenly understood that there must be something in the arm of the middle-aged man covered by the suit, probably something like a pinhole camera. It seems that the middle-aged man was trying to take a picture of Qian Wan Pass with that pretty girl. Laoguan realized the seriousness of the problem, and he didn't want to disturb Qian Wantong, so he could only try to prevent the middle-aged man from taking the picture. The middle-aged man was afraid that Qian Wantong would recognize him, so he didn't feel like rushing forward, and sat down in a boring way. After a long time, he left resentfully.

Lao Guan quickly followed out.The middle-aged man hurried downstairs as if he had something to do and left the Gexian Hotel, then walked towards his car.Lao Guan followed closely, thinking, it seems that this person thinks that the anonymous letter will not bring down Qian Wantong, and he wants to obtain evidence such as camera photos. If this guy gets the images, Qian Wantong will be dead. Lao Guan quickly got into the car and followed the black Audi.The black Audi drove towards the City Construction Bank building in a regular manner.Lao Guan watched the middle-aged man walk into the City Construction Bank building and then parked his car in front of the City Construction Bank building. He walked up to the security guard and asked, "Brother, was it Vice President Qian who went in just now?"

"Nonsense, Vice President Qian is very fat. The person who went in just now was Niu Xiangnan, the assistant to the president." The security guard blurted out. "You're not mistaken?" Lao Guan further confirmed. "You made a mistake!" The security guard said disdainfully. Lao Guan waved his hand, went back to the car, thought for a moment, then called Mao Xiaomao, "Xiao Mao, you have a lot of contact with people in the bank, there is an assistant to the president of the City Construction Bank named Niu Xiangnan, you can find a way to get it." The more complete the information about this person, the better, especially in terms of hobbies."

"Brother Guan, I have met this person several times. He is the assistant to Vice President Qian. I heard that he likes to chat online." Mao Xiaomao said seriously. "Then you find a way to get me his QQ number, the sooner the better." Lao Guan said with a smile. "Okay then, I'll send a text message to your phone later." Mao Xiaomao said sweetly. In Senhao Group, Laoguan has a very special status. His public identity is Bai Changxing's driver, but in terms of prestige, the general deputy general manager can't compare with him. Bai Changxing also treats Laoguan like his brother. Things have to be settled in order to go smoothly. Usually, Bai Changxing basically handed over the tricky things on the Bai Dao to Bai Zhigang and Mao Xiaomao, and handed over all the tricky things on the underworld to Lao Guan.

Mao Xiaomao knew Lao Guan's identity very well, and the two of them were like a pair of partners, cooperating very well.Lao Guan usually takes good care of Mao Xiaomao. In Mao Xiaomao's heart, Lao Guan is a hero, an omnipotent knight, and a big brother who stands up for justice. Lao Guan drove to find a small restaurant. He had a bowl of noodles and two side dishes for lunch. As soon as Lao Guan finished paying the bill, his mobile phone rang a text message.With Niu Xiangnan's QQ account, Laoguan grinned, walked out of the small restaurant, got into the car, and drove straight to Caihuan Bathing Center.

On the way to Chengde, Bai Changxing called a lama in Puning Temple. The lama was Zhang Chao, a member of the Chengde CPPCC.Since Bai Changxing went to Puning Temple every year to worship, he made a lot of donations every time. After a long time, he got to know some lamas, and the one with the best relationship was Zhang Chao. Zhang Chao was very happy to learn that Bai Changxing was coming to Puning Temple, and agreed to book a room for Bai Changxing at Shangketang Hotel.Historically, the Upper Guest Hall was a place to receive high-class guests such as eminent monks and great virtues according to the Buddhist jungle system. It is located in the west courtyard of Puning Temple and is a classical garden-style building.The courtyards are scattered and unique, the corridors are winding and secluded, and the pavilions are carved with beams and painted buildings, which are integrated with the towering Puning Temple and complement each other.

When Bai Changxing arrived at the Shangketang Hotel, Lama Zhang Chao was waiting in front of the Shangketang Hotel in casual clothes.After getting off the car, Bai Changxing put his palms together and said, "Thank you, Master Zhang, I've been waiting for a long time!" "Boss Bai, I'm so glad to meet you!" After Zhang Chao clasped his hands together, the two shook hands warmly, like old classmates who haven't seen each other for a long time. "Master Zhang, this is my secretary Yina." Bai Changxing introduced. Zhang Chao just nodded shyly at Yi Na.Yina couldn't tell that Zhang Chao was a lama, so she asked suspiciously, "Are you really a lama?"

"It's absolutely true!" Zhang Chao said with a smile. "Why don't you wear a crimson monk's robe?" Yina asked curiously. "Today is the weekend." Zhang Chao said with pure eyes. Yina felt that this lama was incredible, there was a pure charm in his smile, and a power that penetrated people's hearts hidden in his eyes. Every time Bai Changxing came to Chengde, he had to live in the presidential suite of the Ketang Hotel.Zhang Chao accompanied Bai Changxing and Yi Na to finish the check-in procedures in the lobby and said with a smile: "You go to the room to wash up first, I will wait for you in the dining hall, and I will treat you to a vegetarian meal later." "Master Zhang, is vegetarian food delicious? I understand vegetarian food, what does vegetarian food mean?" Yina was attracted by the rich Buddhist cultural atmosphere as soon as she entered Shangketang Hotel. "Vegetarianism and vegetarianism are two different things. 'Vegetarian' means 'clean', fundamentally speaking, only when the three karmas of body, mouth and mind are clean can we call vegetarianism. Among the three karmas, 'mind' is the root, so special emphasis is placed on the mind. The mind is pure, so it is also called 'Xin Zhai'." Zhang Chao explained patiently. "Okay, you'll know when you eat it in a while." Bai Changxing urged Yina, waved to Zhang Chao, and the two went to the room holding hands. The Presidential Suite of Shangketang Hotel is antique, luxurious and elegant. In particular, there are two simple palace lanterns on both sides of the curtain covering the imitation red sandalwood double dragon bed. Yina couldn't wait to eat vegetarian food, so she hurriedly took a shower and changed her clothes.Bai Changxing also washed up briefly, and then talked to Bai Zhigang, Mao Xiaomao, and Lao Guan before taking Yi Na to the dining hall. The environment of the Zhaitang is solemn, elegant, dusty, quiet and simple, which gives people a sense of dedusting, cleansing and meditating in the Zhaiyu.Enjoying vegetarian food, listening to the bells, tuning the qin, appreciating calligraphy and painting, reading a scroll of thread-bound Buddhist scriptures, and thinking about a hundred years of Zen and joyful life here is very pleasant. There is an inscription for the Zhaitang by Mr. Zhao Puchu hanging in the Zhaitang: carefully seasoned and tasteless, both the host and the guest are happy; When Bai Changxing and Yi Na walked into the dining hall, Zhang Chao had already ordered vegetarian food.The two of them sat down, and Bai Changxing said politely, "Master Zhang, I'm so sorry to make you spend every time I come here!" "Boss Bai, who made you and I have a buddha relationship. You have worked hard all the way, eat quickly!" Zhang Chao said with a smile. Yina looked at the exquisite vegetarian dishes on the table and was amazed.It's no wonder that this table vegetarian dish combines the fineness of palace vegetarian dishes, the naturalness of folk vegetarian dishes, the purity of temple vegetarian dishes, and the essence of Shanghai-style vegetarian dishes, which fully embodies the harmony and unity of the four gods of color, fragrance and flavor. "Nana, I like this Luohanzhai the most. Try it. It uses flower mushrooms, trichomonas, shiitake mushrooms, fresh mushrooms, straw mushrooms, bamboo shoot tips, Sichuan bamboo fungus, winter bamboo shoots, yuba, oil gluten, vegetarian sausage, It is made of 18 kinds of raw materials, such as black fungus, golden needle mill, hair lettuce, ginkgo, potato, and carrot." Bai Changxing said proudly. "Why are there eighteen cooking ingredients? Is there any meaning?" Yina asked while eating. Bai Changxing was suddenly stopped by Yi Na's question, so he could only look to Zhang Chao for help. "Eighteen kinds of raw materials imply eighteen arhats." Zhang Chao said with a smile, "Most of the vegetarians in the upper living room are named after Buddhist holy words, which have the meaning of enlightening all living beings. For example, * Changzhuan, the bell of the White Pagoda, and flowers blooming to see the Buddha , Cihang Pudu, Buddha beads and lotus seeds, and this Arhat vegetarian dish all have the meaning of enlightening sentient beings." "I heard people say that there are also chicken, duck and fish dishes in vegetarian dishes. What about vegetarian chicken and vegetarian duck? Why don't you see this dish today?" Yina asked openly. "My master has a habit different from other people. If you invite him to dinner, don't say 'vegetarian chicken', 'vegetarian duck', 'vegetarian ham', 'vegetarian fish', etc. He heard these names, yes Those who can’t use chopsticks would rather eat plain rice. They explained to him that it’s made of bean curd skin, not real chicken, duck and fish, but fake names, so don’t be attached. What he said was wonderful: I’m not afraid of eating these dishes, but I'm afraid of your murderous intentions and greed, if you don't have the idea of ​​chicken, duck and fish in your heart, how can you make these things?" Zhang Chao said with a smile. "It makes sense. To be a vegetarian is to be a vegetarian. Why do you deliberately make these pictorial fake chickens, ducks, fish and meat? It's clear that you are a vegetarian in your mouth, but you are not abstaining from meat in your heart." Bai Changxing echoed. "Master Zhang, do you really not want to?" Yina asked innocently. "The heart is different, you think it is very good, of course you are very intoxicated, if your heart is different, then you will not be moved by it. Dogs sleep on gold bricks, not by gold bricks A lama has nothing but a tattered cassock, which is full of holes, but if he cherishes this cassock, he is greedy for money. The greed for money is not measured in units. Unfortunately, among monks There are more and more phenomena of accumulating money." Zhang Chao said quite seriously. "Master Zhang, besides offering incense at Puning Temple, I also want to ask about good and bad luck. Recently, I often dream that the project I just started has been dismantled. I want you to decipher it." Bai Changxing said reverently. "Can you draw a picture of the surrounding environment of the project you are going to do?" Zhang Chao said wisely. "I brought a photo." After finishing speaking, Bai Changxing took out the photo from his purse and handed it to Zhang Chao, and then introduced the situation of Senhao International Center in detail.Holding the photo, Zhang Chao listened carefully to Bai Changxing's description, frowned after thinking for a long time, and said, "Next year, at Taisui Renwu, it is taboo to break ground in the north: Offending Taisui, the three evil spirits, will be suppressed by the government. And next year, Qi Chixing will be in charge." , Sanbi is in the north, and among the blacks on August 2nd, seven faces the north, forming Sanqi bullfighting evil, and the main lawsuit is entangled." "Can it be cracked?" Bai Changxing asked eagerly. "One stick of incense burns, and thousands of obstacles are opened. Please bless the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to save the danger!" Zhang Chao said solemnly. After eating the vegetarian meal, Zhang Chao accompanied Bai Changxing and Yi Na on foot to Puning Temple to offer incense.Entering the mountain gate of Puning Temple, you will see the Han style temple building head-on.Cigarettes curl up in the tall courtyard of the courtyard style, towering ancient trees, symmetrical left and right, and the Bell and Drum Towers, Tianwang Hall, East and West Side Halls and Daxiong Hall arranged in depth form a standard Jialan seven hall building.The tall hall is made of blue glazed tiles with green and trimmed edges. After passing the main hall, it presents a wider courtyard. Yina was attracted by the long row of prayer wheels standing on one side of the courtyard.The row of brightly colored, richly patterned and golden prayer wheels in front of you makes people feel like they are in a temple on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. "Master Zhang, why does Tibetan Buddhism turn scriptures?" Yina asked with wide eyes. "Turning scriptures is another way of chanting scriptures. As long as you turn the Mani prayer wheel once, it is equivalent to reading the scriptures in the prayer wheel once, and you can accumulate merit." Zhang Chao explained. "Why do you still have to read the six-character mantra?" Yina asked reluctantly. "We turn the prayer wheel here once, and every time we read the six-character mantra, it is equivalent to reading the "Diamond Sutra" once." Zhang Chao said patiently. "What good is that?" Ina continued to ask. "It can free us from the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation in the world. All people don't want to go to hell to be a devil after death. They have to be reincarnated and be human again. So what should we do? We have to chant scriptures. Some of the scriptures are Tibetan. Chinese and Mongolian are too long for many people to understand, so Mahayana Buddhism came up with the simplest method, which is to turn the prayer wheel." After Zhang Chao finished speaking, Yi Na walked up to the prayer wheel devoutly, recited the six-character mantra taught by Zhang Chaogang: "Amani Padme Moo," and turned it clockwise. After listening to Zhang Chao's prophecy to Senhao International Center just now, Bai Changxing was very preoccupied. He didn't care about Yina, and devoutly burned incense in front of the huge incense burner in the Mahayana Pavilion, and threw ten thousand yuan into the merit box . It was rare for Yina to come to Puning Temple, and of course she wanted to take a stroll with this crazy girl. After Bai Changxing finished offering incense, he put away his worries and walked into the Mahayana Pavilion accompanied by Zhang Chao. It houses the tallest gold-lacquered wood statue in the world.Bai Changxing and Yina bowed devoutly in front of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with thousands of hands and eyes. Although there were many tourists in the whole temple, it was surprisingly quiet.After a long time, the two of them bowed their knees and stood up to look at the smiling face of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with thousands of hands and eyes. They both felt so insignificant. Going out of the Mahayana Pavilion, there are Sun Temple and Moon Temple in the east and west of the Pavilion, which means that the world revolves around the center of the universe.Yi Na was the first to walk into the Moon Palace and saw a bodhisattva holding a beautiful woman in her arms on the thangka hanging high above. Yi Na stopped curiously. "Master Zhang, isn't the Buddha not close to women? Why is this Bodhisattva holding a beautiful woman in his arms?" Yina asked puzzled. "This is double cultivation." Zhang Chao said with a smile. "What is double cultivation?" Yi Na asked. "Buddhist teachings are 'form is emptiness, emptiness is form, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form', using the 'double movement of emptiness and joy' to produce the realization of emptiness, and achieve the purpose of 'controlling desire with desire'." Zhang Chao said vaguely. "What's the difference between the eminent monk and the woman's double cultivation and our worldly pleasure?" Yina asked sharply. "This is completely different. It is necessary for the cultivation stage. He needs to use a female practitioner to achieve a certain state." Zhang Chao patiently explained. "Is that state happy?" Yi Na continued to ask. "It's not happiness, it's bliss! It's completely different from the happiness between ordinary men and women. In that moment, I transform myself into a Buddha." Zhang Chao said with fascination. "Then why do you have to be with a woman to become like a Buddha?" Yina asked inexplicably. "A lama needs a match to light a butter lamp, and a woman is the match." Zhang Chao said figuratively. "Master Zhang, do you also need such a match when you are practicing?" Yina asked playfully. "I can't reach such a high level of religion in this life." Zhang Chao said with a smile. After leaving the Moon Palace, Yi Na insisted on drawing lots, so Bai Changxing and Zhang Chao had no choice but to accompany her to the lottery place.Seeing Zhang Chao leading a guest over, a young lama stood up quickly, clasped his hands together and nodded with a smile.The little lama handed the stick to Yi Na.Yi Na looked at Bai Changxing without shaking. "Nana, why don't you shake it?" Bai Changxing asked puzzled. "You are not allowed to see!" Yina murmured. "Okay, okay, don't look at it." Bai Changxing smiled and dragged Zhang Chao away more than ten meters away, the two of them were talking while waiting for Yi Na.Maybe it was because of nervousness, the first time she shook it, Yi Na shook out more than a dozen sticks, the second time she shook more than half of it, she calmed down, and the third time it took a long time to shake out one.It turned out to be a top sign.Yi Na was so happy that she ran away. "Where are you going?" Bai Changxing asked quickly. "I'm going to unravel the lottery." Yi Na said excitedly. "No need, let me explain it to you." Zhang Chao said with a smile. Yi Na had no choice but to walk over with the signature.After Zhang Chao read the signature, he smiled and said to Yi Na: "Congratulations, this is a lottery for a happy son. You are going to have a son." Yi Na and Bai Changxing couldn't laugh or cry when they heard this. "Master Zhang, did you solve the problem?" Bai Changxing asked awkwardly. "It can't be wrong, the Avalokitesvara of Puning Temple is very powerful." Zhang Chao said without doubt. "How is this possible? Master Zhang, do Bodhisattvas also play tricks on people?" Yina said unhappily. "Miss Yi Na, Bodhisattvas can only save sentient beings, and won't play tricks on people!" Zhang Chao said with a smile. "Okay, Nana, it's the top sign anyway, Master Zhang, thank you, it's still early, I'll accompany Yi Na to the Summer Resort for a walk, it's the big weekend, I've delayed your rest, when I leave tomorrow, I will I came to the temple to say goodbye to you." Bai Changxing said politely. "Well, I won't accompany you. In the evening, there will be a large-scale song and dance performance "Four Seas Puning" in Fole Palace in the living room. It is very beautiful. I suggest you watch it." "I am determined to take this spiritual sacrament of Buddhist culture." Bai Changxing said piously. Farewell to Lama Zhang Chao.Bai Changxing and Yi Na walked back to the living room and drove to the Summer Resort.It was the first time for Yina to come to Chengde, so of course Bai Changxing wanted to accompany Yina to visit the famous capital outside the Great Wall. After dinner, Bai Changxing walked into the Fole Palace with Yina, and went to the box on the second floor.The Fole Palace is a rectangular building that can accommodate two to three hundred people. As soon as two people enter the Fole Palace, they will be infected by the supreme style of the royal family and the strong Buddhist art atmosphere. The interior of the Fole Palace not only shows the profound Buddhist culture, but also It highlights the mystery of hidden secrets. After the two of them sat down, Yina leaned her head on Bai Changxing's embrace, "Brother Xing, I can't tell that Zhang Chao is a lama. How could a lama be a member of the CPPCC?" "What's so strange about this is that Hamur Living Buddha in Puning Temple is still a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC, and in some places the abbot and living Buddha are also deputy directors of the Municipal People's Congress." Bai Changxing stared at Yina and said tenderly. "So, both lamas and monks have administrative ranks?" Yina asked softly. "Monks, lamas, and living Buddhas with administrative levels must be very prestigious in the Buddhist world, just like Hamur Living Buddha." "So, Zhang Chao is also very famous in Puning Temple?" "Of course, otherwise, how could he be a member of the CPPCC?" "However, I don't think he looks like a lama." "Then what does he look like?" "Like a government official." Bai Changxing laughed hehehe. The two people were talking, the music sounded, and the voice-over explained: "They came from the roof of the world, they came from the depths of the grassland, they brought the affection of the snow-covered plateau, and they unfolded the feelings of the vast grassland, ah, Hanman Mongolia and Tibet hold hands in harmony, and the East, West, North, South, and North show their style together..." The first "Golden Wheel of the Law Realm", the curtain slowly unfolds, and the holy land of Buddhism appears in front of you, with purple cigarettes, thousands of hands and thousands of eyes, through the struggle between the beauty and goodness of the world and the evil forces in the dark such as demons and monsters, the gods exorcise evil spirits, and show The truth that justice will eventually prevail. When the god wearing a terrifying and hideous mask appeared on the stage, Yi Na snuggled tightly into Bai Changxing's arms, as if she was Mei Shan who was being bullied by demons and monsters. After the tense performance of expelling ghosts and ghosts, the second performance of "Miaoyin Flying to the Sky" ushered in. The mountains and rivers in the world are more magnificent, life is more plump, the grass is more holy, and the world and the sky are peaceful; Scenes such as ", "Encouraging Rehe", "Winning the Beautiful Girl", "Unification of Kyushu" and other scenes show the glorious history of national harmony and national prosperity in the specific historical period of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. Immediately after the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, the music was bright, and the festival was lively, the fourth session of "Great Sunshine", through the "Buddha's light", "Love in the Villa", "Guests from the Grassland", "Monks and Folks Enjoying Together", etc., People of all ethnic groups stepped onto the stage one after another under the call of the Dafa name, presenting their most beautiful songs and dances and their most sincere wishes. The voice-over sounded again: "There are holy white clouds in the sky, and pure and true love in the world; China has rushing water, and Chengde has a peaceful heart. Ah! Sincere and true love, forever and ever, pure and peaceful, universal peace!" After the performance, Bai Changxing and Yina were intoxicated by the wonderful music, dazzling sunshine, spectacular dance, and magnificent scenes. They were unwilling to leave for a long time. All glistening with tears. The next morning, Bai Changxing and Yi Na didn't get up until ten o'clock in the morning. After a hasty breakfast, Bai Changxing and Zhang Chao talked on the phone, and they drove to Puning Temple to bid farewell to Zhang Chao. When the car arrived in front of the mountain gate of Puning Temple, a lama in a purple cassock was standing in front of the mountain gate with a smile. Bai Changxing and Yina got out of the car quickly. "Master Zhang, I have finally seen your true face in Mount Lu. This kind of you is the image of a lama in my heart. If I always remember you in casual clothes, I will forget that you are a lama." Yina said playfully. "Boss Bai, Miss Yina, I will give each of you a vajra knot. The blessing power of the vajra knot is indefinite. Unless the person wearing the vajra knot loses confidence in the vajra knot or is burned by fire, the blessing will disappear. "Zhang Chao said peacefully. "Thank you Master Zhang for your generous gift. I'll come to bother you next year. Goodbye!" Bai Changxing said with clasped hands. "Master Zhang, can I leave before I ask you a question?" Yina smiled treacherously. "Yes." Zhang Chao said with a smile. "Do you like pretty girls?" Yina asked without hesitation. "I like it, I like it very much!" Zhang Chao said without hesitation. "Do you have female disciples?" Yi Na continued to ask. "Yes, of course." Zhang Chao still said with a smile. Bai Changxing took over the conversation and said, "Nana, Master Zhang is especially popular with female disciples. Female disciples are like lambs in front of him." "What, Miss Yi Na wants to be my female disciple?" Zhang Chao asked with a smile. "I have to test you again!" After Yina finished speaking, she giggled and got into the car.Bai Changxing still shook hands with Zhang Chao like an old classmate, and drove towards Beijing.
