Chapter 8 Kuragi

A sudden rainstorm will cover the entire Jiucang Mountain, Bai Mu He Qi and others agreed on the time of the second day to meet, they went back to their residences, after a sea meal, He Qi and Zhang Tianzheng drank a little wine, listening to the two of them those boring old stories, Zhu Jiujiu pursed his lips, found an excuse to take care of himself out of the Guangming Temple, at this time the rainstorm finally came to the end of the stop, turned into a trembling trickle and flapped weakly on the umbrella in Zhu Jiujiu's hand, she frowned, through the lights on the stupa of Jiucang Temple in the distance, finally saw the man standing in the dark, like a white magnolia。

"He's drunk and won't find you. Zhu Jiujiu said to Xu Li with some unhappiness, Zhang Tianzheng and He Qi have not seen each other for a long time, a wine is naturally drunk in the dark, when Zhu Jiujiu went out, He Qi was about to get under the table, in this case, there is indeed no need to worry about a pair of eyes suddenly appearing behind her, and Xu Li's sneaky appearance made her suddenly feel like a thief.

"It's not a safe place. Xu Li smiled softly: "The entire Xiaoguang is their people, be careful, it's always good." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Jiujiu gasped and couldn't help but glance behind him.

"Nobody followed. Xu Li smiled lightly and said, "I've been following you for a long time, and so far, I'm the only one who has followed you." ”

"You mean, Zhang Tianzheng is also a person under the Emperor of Light?" Zhu Jiujiu frowned, she had always had doubts about Zhang Tianzheng's origin, although He Qi said it easily, but for a person with too many secrets, Zhu Jiujiu could only believe in his own eyes and Xu Li, the shadow that was always hidden in the shadows.

"I'm not Sherlock Holmes, how can I find out what he is doing in half a day. Xu Li shook his head and said with a smile: "However, he invited you here, he is indeed a little cautious, do you really believe that an old guy who has been abducted and deceived for so many years will not be able to see the so-called fighting cattle and taking things from the air, under the mountain, Zhang Tianzheng's reputation is very big." ”

"But that Zhang Tianzheng said that when the monk of Jiucang Temple was doing the game, he didn't let people look closely, so he himself didn't have much chance to find those clues as straightforwardly as we did today..."

He Qi just glanced at it. Xu Li smiled: "They have deceived people for a long time, but they don't need to get too close, Zhang Tianzheng, there must be a problem, what he didn't tell you is that before he took this Guangming Temple, he was the host of Jiucang Temple, and earlier, he was a monk in Longtai Temple." ”

"What?" Zhu Jiujiu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with Bai Mu, could it be that they were originally together?"

"It's simple, Longtai Temple. Xu Li pointed to the deserted mountain gate not far away and said softly: " Two years ago, when it came to Jiucang Mountain, the first thing that came to mind was this Longtai Temple, but later, it was actually overnight that people went to the empty building, and it decayed in an instant, this matter has a great relationship with Zhang Tianzheng, I met a fortune-telling monk at the bottom of the mountain, unfortunately, this monk is out of Longtai Temple, speaking of Zhang Tianzheng, his eyes are split, a look of anger, I gave him a sum of money, this is to ask about some things back then, if it is not for Zhang Tianzheng to do the bureau to force them cornered, Longtai Temple will not become today's look。 ”

"Is this kind of situation like a broken family and a dead person, can Zhang Tianzheng do it?" Zhu Jiujiu was stunned and asked: "This person seems to be very incompetent, and he has no way to do those little tricks of Bai Mu..."

"That's why he has a problem. Xu Li restrained his smile and said, "If a person can pretend to be crazy and stupid and lurk for more than ten months without being discovered, will you think that he has no ability?"

"If that's the case, he's really a dangerous person. Zhu Jiujiu was stunned, and then asked, "Then what did he do back then...?"

"Then it starts from two years ago..."Xu Li looked left and right, and whispered the story he heard from the monk's mouth...

Two years ago, Jiucang Mountain's small Guangming Peak was not as good as today's scene, the door was only Longtai Temple, at that time the Jiucang Temple was dilapidated, only two or three monks barely maintained, and the Guangming Temple was just a pile of rubble, Longtai Temple's presiding monk Cangmu Master once made a big wish, to relieve the poverty in this world, decades of good deeds, and had a good reputation under the mountain, and Zhang Tianzheng was at that time pretending to be a down-and-out foolish monk appeared in front of him on the way back to the mountain Master Cangmu, Master Cangmu was the most kind, seeing that he was poor, he brought back to Longtai Temple to be a sweeping monk, However, what the monks of Longtai Temple did not expect was that it was this fool who swept the floor and made them suffer enough.

"Now the temple, there must be someone to manage it, that is, the religious management office near Jiucang Mountain, more or less to pay some money to the top every year, the old monk Cangmu is not an old-fashioned person, the money should be paid, but when he asked about the income of the incense, he hid a lot, but such a strong incense in a temple, how can there be only so little money, there are many people in the city who look at this piece of fat, everyone stretches out their hands, Cangmu can only do to pretend to be poor, although the religious management office is in charge of these monks, but can not come to check the accounts, Zhang Tianzheng arrived at Longtai Temple, pretending to be crazy and stupid, and everyone is not guarding against him, Finally, he found an opportunity, stole the account out, and handed it over, which angered those big men who were officials, and Zhang Tianzheng patted his chest at that time, saying that if this Longtai Temple was handed over to him to manage, at least one million would be handed over to them every year, and as soon as the two gangs were combined, they made a bureau for the cangmu to drill. ”

Xu Li sighed and continued in a soft voice: " Cangmu this person, although the heart is good, but it is a little too old, people in their eighties are inevitably confused for a while, at that time the real manager in Longtai Temple is a disciple called Shaping, Zhang Tianzheng was poisoned in the meal, after Shaping ate, he was sent to the hospital, Cangmu took Zhang Tianzheng to visit Shaping back to the mountain, met a man full of blood, Cangmu is a good old man, the most unbearable others suffer, without saying a word, he took the man back to the temple, after the man was injured, he had the idea of becoming a monk, without Shaping to check, the remaining monks who only knew how to chant the scriptures would go to check the details of this man, and accepted himAfter another month, suddenly a lot of police, without saying a word, the monks in the temple were arrested, at this time everyone knew that the man was actually a wanted criminal, and the monks of Longtai Temple were also regarded as accomplices, Kuragi was angry and anxious, after entering, he died inside, and this Longtai Temple has been abandoned since then. ”

"It's really vicious!" Zhu Jiujiu gasped, then frowned and said, "Those monks don't know about it, how can they be regarded as accomplices?"

"When the guy met Cangmu, he just robbed the bank with a few people, and was chased by the police, so he buried the robbed money in the mountain, and then ran away, but he didn't want to fall off the cliff and fainted, and then he was met by Cangmu, and he was worried that there was no place to hide, after going to Longtai Temple, suddenly the wind was calm, but he didn't dare to go out, so he secretly took out some money, and asked the monks in the temple to hand it over to the family when they went down the mountain, a few hundred yuan at a time, everyone only said that it was the incense money that the pilgrims gave him, and he didn't take it seriously, who knew that the so-called family was the accomplice who slipped through the net, the evidence was conclusive, and the robbers got the instructions from above, and they were bent on planting, those monks had a hard time arguing, so they could only go and sit through the prison. Xu Li sighed, looked at Zhu Jiujiu's eyes and said, "A person who can do this kind of thing, will you still look down on him?"

"This matter was all said by the monk you met, right?" Zhu Jiujiu rolled his eyes, and suddenly frowned and said, "Is it possible that that monk was made by Bai Mu and deliberately waited for you there?"

"Of course not, number one, Shiraki doesn't even know I exist. Xu Li shook his head and said, " Second, Cangmu was very famous in the local area back then, and this incident was a sensation, not only in the local knowledge, but also a lot of news on the Internet, more than 50 monks up and down Longtai Temple, only Shaping and Zhang Tianzheng survived, from this point of view, what the monk said was credible, and I asked his name, and it was indeed confirmed from the prison that he was one of the monks who were implicated in the Longtai Temple case that year, and he had just been released from prison a few days ago. ”

"But why did Zhang Tianzheng go to Jiucang Temple to be the host, why didn't he take this opportunity to follow?" Zhu Jiujiu asked puzzled.

"It's a big eye-catcher!" Xu Li smiled: "He collapsed Longtai Temple, transformed himself, from a fool to a monk, this case is originally weird, if he really dares to take over Longtai Temple, wouldn't it be a good thing to admit that this is a good thing he did?" In contrast, Jiucang Temple is a good place to go, after all, it is a hundred years of ancient temple, although dilapidated, but the foundation is still there, the best thing is that the monks in the temple are already in the last years, not a few years to live, but I don't know why, he went in and stayed for a while, he actually ran out and spent a lot of money to clean up the ruins of the Guangming Temple, I couldn't find the news in a hurry, but I heard the monk under the mountain say that he secretly went up the mountain and ran to the Jiucang Temple to see, those old monks actually talked and laughed with Zhang Tianzheng, not like there is an estrangement。 ”
