Chapter Eighty-Eighth

Those who have secretly planned and laid out the plan for Kaifeng City for thousands of years are actually people of the same lineage, and this lineage comes from Daxiangguo Temple?

As Chunting finished speaking, everyone was shocked again.

Although Kaifeng City is not the center of China's focus, we already know from the contents mentioned by Chunting and Ling Xuan just now that in the canal era, due to the special geographical location of Kaifeng City, all dynasties attached great importance to it and have repeatedly regarded it as the capital of their respective dynasties.

Since Kaifeng was the place where the capital was in the past, there was no doubt that this was the most important place in China. Such a place would definitely be treated differently from other cities. The most important point was its urban layout and planning.

Before Chunting opened its mouth, I even had a guess in my mind that Chen Gong in Guanshan was the descendant of Luban and was in charge of Guanshan Engineering Department. Since Chunting knew this so well, would it be that Chen Gong's predecessors had planned for this place?

But Chunting's mouth completely overturned my guess. He told us with confidence that this person who planned and laid out for Kaifeng was not one person, but a lineage. This lineage was far away from the sky and was close to us. It was actually a monk in the Daxiangguo Temple where we are now in!?

Although this conclusion is incredible, I didn't hear any joking meaning from Chunting's tone, it was full of certainty.

Everyone slowly calmed down from the shock and turned their eyes to Chunting, but when they saw Chunting did not intend to continue to explain, they instead looked at us with a scrutiny.

When everyone saw Chunting’s appearance at this moment, they knew in their hearts that once he had such a look, he would definitely not speak all the words to us, but would let us think about ourselves and supplement us when we had no ideas.

In desperation, everyone could only think about this matter before asking about the specific truth about Chunting.

In fact, the reason why we are so unbelievable is not because we look down on the monks in Daxiangguo Temple, but because we have not had any doubts about it from the beginning. No matter from that perspective, Daxiangguo Temple and the urban planning seem so incompatible.

I know that Daxiangguo Temple has been passed down for thousands of years, has a respected status in Buddhism, and has a great reputation among the people. It is not even nameless in the official government, but has always been called a royal temple. These alone are enough to prove the extraordinary place.

However, China has been saying since ancient times, and has specialized in skills and careers, and it is like a mountain that is separated by a distance.

In our understanding, planning and layout for urban areas should be a skill of civil engineering, not to mention that this place was such an important capital or even an imperial city in the past, so there would never be any sloppy in the urban layout of this place.

As we all know, in ancient times, the imperial power was the world. Although emperors were not necessarily proficient in the art of civil and industrial engineering, due to the special nature of that period, emperors could completely control all the resources and talents in the country.

We know the importance of the emperors of all dynasties to the capital, and we don’t even have to read any historical materials. Since Kaifeng is the capital or even the imperial city, there is no doubt that the emperors of all dynasties will not ignore the layout of this place, but will make extremely careful arrangements.

Since the emperor controls all the talents of the entire dynasty, it is natural to select a few people who are proficient in the way of civil and industrial development. Therefore, in my previous understanding, planning and layout for Kaifeng from famous masters who are proficient in the way of civil and industrial development is the direction that things should have.

I thought I knew the context of the matter, but Chunting's words ruthlessly overturned all my guesses. At this moment, all I left in my mind was confusion.

I really can't imagine that there are monks in this Daxiangguo Temple who are proficient in this path, and even this lineage has been secretly passed down for thousands of years. From this lineage that has never been known to outsiders, it can be inferred that the existence of this lineage is by no means for fame and fortune, but for another unknown purpose.

So what is the purpose of this lineage?

What kind of secret is hidden under the land of Kaifeng City?

Why do people from this lineage choose to hide in Daxiangguo Temple, and even spend thousands of years planning and layout for Kaifeng City?

Since this matter is so secret, how did Chunting know about it?

Is he related to this matter?

If he really has an extremely important connection with this matter, what kind of role does his existence really mean?

Such questions appeared in my mind one after another, making me restless and unable to think calmly. Just as I couldn't help but ask Chunting, I heard a rhythmic sound of knocking on the door from outside the Zen room.

"Dong, dun."

Although no one was actually hurt when what happened yesterday, everyone is inevitably worried about a sneering and sneering now, for fear that an accident will happen again.

Therefore, although Xinyan had repeatedly ensured the safety of this Zen room for us, when he suddenly heard the sound of the door, everyone's eyes turned to the door, and after they made preparations to face the enemy, Ling Xuan asked.

"Who is coming?"

As soon as Ling Xuan finished speaking, Juekong's familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Dear donors, I am aware of the emptiness, I wonder if I can come in and talk about it?"

When I heard Juekong's familiar voice, everyone's heart that had just been raised was finally relieved. I planned to ask Chunting if he wanted Juekong to come in and talk, but when I turned around, I found a strange smile on Chunting's face.

"Actually, I only have a little understanding of some things and don't know the source of everything. But now it seems that perhaps the person who really knows everything has come to his door."

Before I could ask, I saw Chunting simply wave his hand after the words he said like he was talking to himself, signaling Ling Xuan to open the door for Juekong.

Since it was Chunting's order, Ling Xuan would certainly not ask why. He opened the door of the Zen room without any hesitation and made a gesture to invite him outside the door.

Soon, as the door opened, we saw Juekong slowly stepping inside.

The sun is now just behind Jukong. I wonder if it is because of a coincidence, at this moment, from our perspective, he looks like a real Buddha.

The sunshine that could eradicate all evil and accompany him, making him look solemn and we didn't even dare to look at him directly.
