Yu Baien said goodbye to Tang Xiao, and did not leave Jiading immediately, but went to the Xilin Temple in Huating County next door.
That Xilin Temple is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River, was built in the Southern Song Dynasty during the Xianchun period, the first name is the Yunjian Reception Hospital, there is Chong'en Pagoda in the courtyard, the momentum is magnificent, but the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed in the army burning.
After rebuilding in Hongwu 20 years, renamed Xilin Zen Temple, and built Xilin Pagoda, the tower is seven stories high, the tower is grandiose, the three Wu towers are unsurpassed, it is really a famous temple in the south of the Yangtze River.
The so-called reading 10,000 books is better than traveling thousands of miles.
Yu Baien came to the south of the Yangtze River, mainly to visit the mountains and rivers, this Xilin Temple is so famous, he can not pass without entering.
Moreover, his mother had just passed away, and he happened to put a few pillars of incense on his mother in this moment, hoping that his mother would ascend to bliss as soon as possible.
When I arrived at Xilin Zen Temple, the sun was still at noon.
Yu Baien bought incense from the monks in the temple, and donated 100 oil money, so he involved incense in the temple.
Later, I asked the monk and took a tour of the temple at will.
Walking in the jungle of the stone tower, listening to the sound of the monks reading along with the bell, I have to say that it is really a fairyland on earth.
After swimming for more than half an hour, Yu Baien wanted to leave the temple, but saw a monk leading a young man to the back temple in a hurry.
The monk didn't care, but the young man made Yu Baien's eyes shine, because this young man was born with a dignified appearance and looked like a talent.
Yu Baien secretly praised himself, and he didn't know whose good descendants were, he really had outstanding character.
However, the land of Songjiang is the best place in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many believers in the Buddha, and there are basically incense halls in the homes of rich people, and they will also come to the temple every other day to donate some sesame oil money.
Therefore, Bai En didn't pay too much attention to this matter, but said that the young man was the son of a large family near Zuo.
It's just that the monk accidentally called the young man "Brother Nalan", which made Yu Baien "chuckle" and pay attention to it, thinking that this matter was very strange.
What makes Yu Baien feel strange is the word "Nalan", because this "Nalan" is not a Han surname, but the surname of the Jurchen white number.
Yu Baien has read a lot, has a lot of experience, and has seen and heard a lot, and knows that there was a Jurchen tribe called the Nalan tribe outside the Guan, and later called Manchu to annex it, and the people of the Nalan tribe became Manchurians.
Therefore, the young man who was called "Brother Nalan" was definitely not a Han Chinese, but a Manchurian ninety percent of them.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has recovered the south of the Yangtze River, the Manchu Tartars have either been slaughtered or fled to the north in fear, why are there Manchurian Nalan people appearing here How could the monks in this temple be familiar with the Manchurians?
Yu Baien thought that this matter was not simple, so he secretly followed the monk and the young man.
Half of the temple is open to believers, and there are many pilgrims and tourists in this temple today, and Yu Baien is dressed in a Confucian shirt, and at first glance he is a scholar who comes out to wander, so the monks in the temple do not doubt him.
After following the monk and the young man to the back temple, Yu Baien saw the two of them enter a side room.
He could not come near, lest the two men find out, so he pretended to be tired of walking, and rested under the gazebo.
After a while, the young man named "Nalan" came out of the room, said a few words to the monk in front of the room, and then took his leave.
The monk didn't send him off, and went elsewhere on his own.
At this time, a few other pilgrims happened to be passing by, and the "Nalan" glanced at them, but he didn't pay attention to Yu Baien, who was sitting in the pavilion to rest, even if he saw it, he only thought it was a pilgrim.
After "Nalan" walked away, Yu Baien hurriedly followed, and then followed quietly from a distance.
"Nalan" had three or two retinues outside the temple, and there was a carriage, and Yu Baien saw them get into the carriage and galloped in the direction of Jiading.
What did this person do in Jiading Yu Baien became more and more confused, thinking that Jiading was under the rule of his friend Tang Xiaoxian, and there had just been a riot among the parishioners, he was afraid that these people might be spies of the Manchurians, and he was worried that something would happen, so he also went to Jiading. originally thought that "Nalan" and his party would go to Jiading City, but they didn't want to go to the city, but went to a big Zhuangzi in the east of the city.
He didn't stay long in that Zhuangzi before he came out, and then went to a monastery.
Similarly, "Nalan" and his entourage did not stay long in the temple before hurrying out, but then they entered the city and settled in an inn.
After that, it never came out again.
Yu Baien followed all the way, always trying to find something, but found nothing.
Except for the suspicious surname, the rest of the "Nalan" and his entourage look normal, and the entourage of "Nalan" are all natives of Songjiang, not from the Northland.
After guarding outside the inn for a long time, Yu Baien laughed at himself, feeling that he might be suspicious, the Mantars had already asked the Taiping army to cross the river, how could they still have the courage to come to Songjiang.
Aren't they afraid that they will be pitted alive by His Royal Highness the King of Qi like those Mantars in the Southern Capital.
Perhaps, I heard it wrong, the monk did not call "Brother Nalan", but something else.
Because the Han people in the city suffered a lot because of the previous incident of the people, and let Tang Xiao suffer from the above first, Yu Baien was really embarrassed to go to see his friends again, so he hired a carriage and asked the coachman to rush to Kunshan.
Halfway through, when passing the outside of Zhuangzi where the "Nalan" and his entourage had entered, Yu Baien saw more than a dozen villagers driving a few carriages full of bamboo poles inside.
Bamboo poles are used a lot, Songjiang is a water town, this bamboo pole is used more, Yu Baien did not suspect anything.
But when he saw a few parishioners once again driving a carriage full of bamboo poles to pass by, he couldn't help but feel inexplicably uneasy again.
Where this uneasiness came from, Yu Baien himself couldn't say clearly, but he felt that something seemed wrong.
He told the coachman to stop the carriage, gave him some copper coins, and told him to inquire in the neighborhood, but the coachman found no useful news.
Yu Baien wanted to ask in person from someone nearby, but he was a foreigner, so he dared to ask the locals, but he was afraid that the effect would not be as good as that of the local coachman.

"Guest officer, are you still going to Kunshan?"
The coachman saw that Yu Baien didn't say to leave, nor did he say to stay, so he frowned and thought about something, so he urged.
It's getting dark, if you don't hurry to Kunshan, he won't be able to come back tomorrow.
"Let's go."
Yu Baien really couldn't think of anything, so he had to wave his hand and signal the driver to set off.
As soon as the wheel turned, his heart jumped violently, and he thought of a terrifying possibility that the bamboo pole was sharpened, wasn't it a murderous weapon On the bank of the Qiantang River in Zhejiang, Zhou Shixiang, who rarely wanted to have a glimpse of the Qiantang River, was in a bad mood by the urgent report of the Military Intelligence Department, and he casually handed the emergency report to the one who had just arrived from Zhenjiang, and said to him very dissatisfied: "The officials of Songjiang Mansion really think that the horses are put in Nanshan, and the knives and guns are put into storage, and they are not collected bamboo poles everywhere, so they are not vigilant at all, if it were not for the Military Intelligence Department, I don't know what happened when they were stabbed to death with bamboo poles." ”oshow7 t1706231537:
