Chapter 22 Suspicions and Speculation of the Murderer
Li Ji secretly thought to himself: Practicing in the Xiwutang at night, there are only three people he knows. In addition to himself, there is also Mengfan, senior brother. It's been the three of them practicing these days, is there anyone else who knows?
Moreover, the three of them agreed to arrive together, why did they only arrive on time that night, but the two of them refused to show up until they were injured by the masked man? Besides, why were the two of them who injured themselves, and they still had to appear in masks. And the shot is also heavy, so I don't want to stop until I am injured. In addition, is it to injure yourself to teach a lesson and leave the Xiwu Hall, or do you want to expose the matter so that you can be kicked out of the temple?
It's really okay if I don't want to, but the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, and I'm even afraid. Anyway, when things come to this situation, it doesn't matter if you don't want to talk about it, you have to ask for clarification first.
So he immediately went to the junior brother who took care of him to call Mengfan and learn useful information.
After passing the word to Mengfan, he didn't care, he didn't show any fuss, he just went to talk to Li Ji with a smile.
Meng Fan entered the door and saw Li Ji lying there, crying bitterly.
Seeing this, Meng Fan asked, "Who shot so hard and beat the senior brother like this, it's really infuriating." "I still can't stop slugging.
Li Ji sighed and said: "How did I know, I was defenseless and was attacked by someone." If you had been there last night, I wouldn't have been beaten like this, would I?"
Meng Fan said seriously: "Senior brother came to me, dare to love just for this, right?"
Li Jidao: "What the junior brother said is right, I was just about to ask why the junior brother didn't come last night?"
Meng Fan frowned, a little unspeakable, and sighed: "It's not a secret, I woke up with my senior brother last night at the third watch, and was about to go to the hall, but unexpectedly, another junior brother woke up next to me." I don't know if it was alarmed, or if he woke up by himself, and he didn't want to sleep when he started talking, so he delayed the time, so it was inconvenient to go out. When I want to go out again, it's not too early, and I'll inform you later, and I'm afraid of being discovered, so I have to give up. ”
Li Jidao: "But too, we have to meet in such behavior, and we can't accompany each other." If you can't come, you won't be able to inform you, and I know that I can't blame you, I can only blame me for not taking luck. ”
Meng Fan said regretfully: "Eh, there is such a coincidence, we didn't go for one night, and you were beaten." If only we had been there, you wouldn't have been beaten like this. ”
Li Jidao: "If you say it there, what can you do?" ”
Meng Fan said again: "Senior brother, do you know who beat you is?"
Li Jidao: "Where do I know. It's dark in the middle of the night, and I'm still masked, so I really don't know. ”
Meng Fan was concerned again: "In this way, what clues are there?"
Li Jidao: "It's really difficult to distinguish between people, but I can recognize the moves of the two envoys." ”
Meng Fan was surprised: "What move did you recognize?"
Li Jidao: "Luohan boxing, King Kong legs, are all kung fu. ”
Meng Fan said: "How do you know that the other party is using these two kung fu moves?"
Li Jidao: "Thanks to you and my senior brother for teaching me martial arts, I have read books in private. Although I know some fur routines, I can still distinguish the tricks carefully, not to mention the tricks that hit me. ”
Meng Fan straightened up and said, "It seems that the person who injured you must be someone who is familiar with martial arts. ”
Li Jidao: "Master also said so, it shouldn't be wrong." ”
Meng Fan asked eagerly, "Did the master say how to deal with this matter?"
Li Jidao: "Master said that if this matter is investigated, it will definitely be punished, and it will be severely punished." ”
Meng Fan said: "What the master said is reasonable, otherwise it will inevitably cause a storm." Then what should you do? You secretly went out to practice in the middle of the night, didn't Master punish you?"
Li Ji sighed: "Master asked me to recuperate my injuries first, not to drive me away for the time being, and to divide some tasks for me to do, which can be regarded as punishment to see the after-effects." ”
Mengfan said: "But too, you are driving you away like this, isn't it a stone!"
Li Jidao: "Master knew that something had happened to me, so he came to see me as soon as possible, and he has done his duty." I can only blame myself, not others.
Meng Fan said: "Senior brother, don't blame yourself too much, you just need to recuperate from your injuries now." Master knew that something had happened to you, and I also went to report it. ”
Li Ji was surprised: "What did you say? So early, how did you know that something happened to me?"
Meng Fan smiled: "If you have this incident, it will be spread all over the temple, and it is difficult to think about it." You should thank me for informing Master early. ”
Li Jidao: "But too, I have always been taken care of by my junior and younger brothers, and I am really grateful to invite you to come today." ”
Meng Fan said: "They are all senior brothers, why be polite." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, each understanding. Mengfan walked out of the monk's room and walked away.
Li Ji lay on the couch, closed his eyes, as if he had forgotten the pain, and meditated there, recalling what Mengfan said just now, and fell into deep thought.
Li Ji vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he also had an object of suspicion, but he couldn't say anything about the evidence, and it was unconvincing, so he could only endure it. Although he was injured, fortunately he was not kicked out by his master, but he was also lucky. The only thing to do now is to recover from your injuries as soon as possible and devote yourself to a normal life.
Here Li Ji is recuperating from his injuries, and the old monk over there is also pondering when he goes back, looking for someone to investigate, and investigating the monk who is skilled in martial arts. In the end, the object of suspicion was screened out, but there was still no sufficient evidence, and the individual was stubborn and did not relax, so there was no result and it was put on hold.
Later, the old monk simply focused on rectifying the rules of the monastery, which was also to prevent similar incidents from happening, and it was another strategy to divert the public's attention.
The old monk knew that Li Ji would definitely not be satisfied with the result, so he went to appease Li Ji in person. Persuade him to be kind, relax his heart, recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, and don't keep dwelling on this matter, for fear it will not be beneficial to his recovery. After Li Ji also understood the true intentions of his master, he opened his mind and said that he would not pursue it anymore and would not dare to ask again.
This recuperation was nearly a month, and Li Jicai recovered from the injury, and it seemed that he had only regained his spirit, and he started a familiar life again.
I was busy all day, and I started to get up in the morning, sweeping the floor, striking the bell, cleaning the courtyard, and going to fetch water. After finishing the work of stopping, I went to the temple to chant the scriptures and recite the Buddha, or read the scriptures, copy the scriptures, but I was also happy and carefree.
Unconsciously more than two years later, the master did not allow it, and Li Ji's life was still the same.
Although it is immutable, I have long been accustomed to this kind of life. can stay inside, have a heart, live casually, don't feel hard, no ties, no complaints, and fall at ease.
One day, Li Ji finished the task at hand, and consciously ran to the lecture hall. I saw all the monks gathered together, some were reading scriptures, and some were meditating and chanting Buddha.
