As soon as these words came out, all the monks looked solemn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

They are not stupid, of course they know that Shao Mingyuan's analysis is reasonable.

In the middle of the night, if you are not a trusted person, how can you open the door and let him in? This shows that the murderer is undoubtedly a monk in the temple. And this realization made all the monks present feel heavy.

"Kongyun, gather all the disciples in the temple to gather in the hall." The abbot commanded.

The leading monk Kong Yun should say yes.

Soon after, the sound of the bell echoed in the mountain temple.

In the middle of the night, the silence of the bells was far away, and even the people who rushed to dredge the mountain road at the foot of Luoxia Mountain day and night were awakened.

Jiang Shiyi jumped up and came to Shao Zhi: "What happened in the temple?" Did Master Hou have any more news? ”

"Nope." Shao Zhi replied angrily and looked in the direction of the mountain temple.

At the foot of the mountain, many people have no intention of sleeping again.

The sleeping monks in the temple all woke up and hurriedly put on their monk's robes and rushed to the main hall.

Shao Mingyuan and Qiao Zhao, as outsiders, have been silently watching.

"Sleepy?" Shao Mingyuan suddenly asked sideways.

In the night, the girl's eyes were bright, and she shook her head gently: "How can you sleep." ”

"Don't worry, that person didn't calm down, but exposed himself, and it will soon come to light."

"yes, I just don't know how the teacher is." Qiao Zhao glanced at the abbot from afar.

The abbot seemed to feel something, and bowed slightly to the two.

Under the arrangement of the abbot, all the monks, regardless of their age, divided into teams to search everyone's dwellings one by one, and the temple was as bright as day until the sky was bright and the lanterns were extinguished.

The monks returned to the main hall and gathered, but found nothing.

The leading monk, Kong Yun, said: "Abbot, all the disciples' residences have been searched, and there is nothing abnormal. I think it's better to ask Miss Li's coachman and maid to come out and ask for clarification. ”

"Master, why don't you wait?"

"What are you waiting for? Hou Ye said that the murderer was a monk in our temple, but no abnormalities have been found so far, and those two people have many suspicions. Even if they are not murderers, they must have something to do with them. ”

"It's related, my maid saw the appearance of Orion's companions." Qiao Zhao said suddenly.

The monks were taken aback, and the leading monk Kongyun's face suddenly became stern: "In that case, why didn't Miss Li say it early?" ”

Qiao Zhao smiled: "Say it early, let the real murderer kill people?" ”

"Then ask the benefactor to come out and identify the murderer." Kongyun said coldly.

Qiao Zhao didn't answer, and looked sideways at the abbot.

The abbot said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't be impatient, just wait." ”

"What else is the abbot waiting for?" Kumo asked, puzzled.

The abbot smiled but said nothing.

Two quarters of an hour later, a young monk walked in and whispered a few words in the abbot's ear, who nodded his head and smiled.

After the young monk finished speaking, he stepped aside, and the abbot glanced around at everyone and said with a smile: "The master has been found." ”

"Mrs. Shi has found it?" All the monks looked at each other, all of them looked surprised, and asked one after another, "Abbot, where is Shitai?" How to find it? ”

They have been searching everyone's residence, when did the abbot order someone to find the master?

The monks couldn't help but look at the young monks, and then they suddenly realized: Jingxu, the little disciple of the previous abbot, had never appeared, just because Jingxu was young and had low qualifications, and no one paid attention to it.

"Kongyun, now you can talk about it, why did you kidnap Shitai and kill Shouzao, right?" The abbot looked at Kongyun and asked suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt falling on the heads of the monks, and everyone couldn't help but retreat to the side, revealing the empty clouds.

Kong Yun looked shocked: "What does the abbot mean by this?" The disciple doesn't understand! ”

"Jingxu, you tell Kongyun, where did Shitai find out?"

Jingxu saluted the abbot and said loudly: "Shitai found it in the Gumi storehouse. ”

The monks' eyes looked at the empty clouds a little more strangely.

Kong Yun's face still did not change: "Although the disciple is the deputy temple who manages the treasury, the fact that the master was found in the treasury does not mean that it is related to the disciple. ”

The abbot looked solemn, looked at Kongyun and shook his head and sighed: "Last night, the champion Hou and Miss Li left to go to my place, describing the most likely appearance of the murderer: thin, halfway home, and an errand that goes out at any time without arousing suspicion. ”

"There are not a few disciples who meet these requirements."

The abbot looked at Kong Yun deeply and asked calmly, "What if you add that many years ago, you may have almost starved to death at the foot of the mountain as a refugee or beggar?" ”

Kongyun's face froze.

The abbot sighed: "I ordered my disciples to look through the roster overnight, and there are no more than seven disciples who meet this point in the past twenty years, and among these seven people, you are the only one who meets those three points at the same time." ”

Kong Yun smiled: "So the abbot has long suspected the disciple?" But based on the random speculation of just two outsiders, is it necessary to convict the disciple? ”

"Shinkai—"

Another middle-aged monk stepped forward, holding a tray with folded clothes on it.

Seeing the clothes on the tray, Kongyun's face changed.

"This is the pilgrim's clothes that were searched from Senior Brother Kongyun's room, and there are blood stains on them."

The abbot looked at Kong Yun deeply: "Kong Yun, what else do you have to say?" ”

Kong Yun stared at the abbot, his expression changed unpredictably, and after a long time, he sighed: "It turns out that the abbot put on a good show, and I led the search around by gathering the disciples in the temple, just to prevent me from having time to deal with the bloody clothes, right?" ”

"Take down the empty clouds." The abbot turned his back.

The warrior monks who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded the empty clouds.

"It's too late......" Kong Yun barely said this, and there was black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

As early as the moment he saw Jingxu appear, he had already bitten the poison sac hidden in his teeth.

Kongyun stared upwards and muttered, "I really regret it-"

If he hadn't softened his heart and begged his companion to leave Jingxi's life because of the kindness of a meal back then, wouldn't he have left a flaw that made people suspect him?

Kongyun's eyes widened, and he was already out of breath.

The crowd listened to what he didn't finish, but they could never guess what he regretted.

"Amitabha-" the abbot sighed, "Jingxu, you lead the way, let's go and see how the master is." ”

When Qiao Zhao saw Mrs. Wumei, Mrs. Wumei leaned on the pillow, her expression was weak, but her eyes were calm.

"You're here." Mrs. Wumei tugged at the corners of her lips, "Senior Brother Abbot, I want to talk to Miss Li alone." ”

The abbot nodded and withdrew with Shao Mingyuan and the others.

Only Wumei Shitai and Qiao Zhao were left in the room.

"Mrs. Shi, what do you think? Shall I take your pulse? ”

Master Wumei smiled: "The poor nun has not been abused, but has not eaten. ”

"Then I'll go and make some porridge and side dishes for Mrs. Shi."

"There's no hurry." Mrs. Wumei stopped her and asked lightly, "Scared, right?" ”
