Chapter 030: Killing

Letting Li Chengqi pretend to be his son once can be regarded as Shen Yan's counterattack against him. Looking at his angry eyes staring at her www.biquge.info, she could guess that under his mask, there must be a blue and white face.

Li Chengqi stepped forward, and what was written in his eyes was all about cleaning up Shen Yan's words in the future.

"If you don't learn to be my son now, don't be suspicious when you go to the city." Shen Yan was already crazy in her heart, but she didn't show it too much.

"Miss Shen......" Huo Qing felt that Shen Yan was too much, and wanted to persuade her, but he didn't know how to say it.

Li Chengqi was angry, and he still cooperated tacitly in front of people, especially when he entered the city, he hugged Shen Yan, like a very filial son.

In this way, they finally succeeded in infiltrating the city. It wasn't until they entered the city that Shen Yan knew that the purpose of Li Chengqi and Huo Qing's trip was to go to Jingyuan Temple to find a master named Yuan Zhen.

Jingyuan Temple is a royal temple, and there are eleven masters with advanced cultivation in it, which is famous in the Great Zhou. Master Yuan Zhi is one of them. The temple is located in the west of the imperial city, occupying a geographical advantage, so there are many dignitaries and nobles who come to the temple every day to worship incense.

However, when Li Chengqi and his entourage arrived this time, the gate of Jingyuan Temple was closed. They could only hear the sound of the monk chanting coming densely from inside.

Huo Qing stepped forward and knocked on the door of the temple. The door was opened by a little monk, as soon as he saw the visitor, he gave a salute and said: "This temple is closed for seven days, chanting for the deceased, not accepting the fate for the time being, the donor please go back." Then he was going to close the temple door again.

"Wait." Li Chengqi stopped him, took out a jade pendant engraved with a phoenix and handed it to him, "Little master, give this thing to Master Yuanzhi." ”

The little monk looked at the jade pendant, afraid that Li Chengqi had a background, so he asked: "The donor is familiar with Master Yuanzhi?" ”

Li Chengqi nodded.

The little monk thought about it and then took the jade pendant and said, "Donor, wait a minute, I'll go in and say hello." ”

After the little monk left, Huo Qing frowned and told Li Chengqi, "There is a big smell of blood in the temple. ”

"I'm afraid something happened." Li Chengqi also said.

After a while, the little monk came out. He respectfully invited Li Chengqi, Huo Qing, and Shen Yan to enter the temple.

As soon as he entered the temple, the smell of blood became stronger, and even Shen Yan smelled it. Huo Qing asked the little monk what happened in the temple, and the little monk was dark, but he didn't answer. He only said: "The host is not allowed to speak." Huo Qing didn't ask much.

To their surprise, the little monk did not take them to see Master Yuanzhi, but to meet the abbot Zhiguang, the presiding officer of the temple.

In front of Zhiguang, Li Chengqi and the others took off their makeup and revealed their true colors. When Zhiguang saw that there was no acquaintance, he asked, "Who are you?" How can there be something to honor the queen? ”

Shen Yan only knew that the jade pendant that Li Chengqi took out earlier was something to respect the queen.

"I am Huo Qing, the personal guard of the second prince before his death. These two are my friends. Huo Qing didn't say the identities of Li Chengqi and Shen Yan.

"It turned out to be Huo Guard." As soon as Abbot Zhiguang heard that it was the second prince's guard before his death, he saluted again.

Then, Huo Qing asked suspiciously: "How can the abbot recognize the things that respect the empress?" ”

Zhiguang returned the jade pendant to Huo Qing, while explaining: "Queen Duanjing came to visit the Buddha in this temple when she was born, and often wore this jade pendant, and the old man has seen it many times. ”

Huo Qing understood, so he expressed his intention, "I am waiting for this trip because I want to find Master Yuan Zhi in some urgency, but I don't know where Master Yuan Zhi is?" ”

"I don't know what's important about Huo Guard?"

"This ...... This can only be said to Master Yuan Shu himself......"

"It's about a shocking secret seven years ago." Li Chengqi suddenly took Huo Qing's words. He looked at Abbot Zhiguang, refused to look away for a moment, and said, "Seven years ago, Master Zhiguang was also involved, right?" ”

As early as when Li Chengqi said a shocking secret seven years ago, Zhiguang's expression began to tighten, and when he heard the second half of his words, he took a step forward and asked vigilantly: "Who are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is, where is Master Yuanzhi?" Li Chengqi's words were not polite. The gaze in his eyes even became tough and domineering.

"Amitabha." Abbot Zhiguang read a sentence facing the west, and then closed his eyes, revealing a lot of stunned expressions, "Just last night, a team of royal forest soldiers came to this temple, saying that Senior Brother Yuan Zhi had committed the crime of bullying the king, and he was going to be taken away for questioning. Senior Brother Yuan Zhi begged me to protect him, and as soon as I thought of kindness, I let him hide, lying that he was not in the temple, but unexpectedly, the Imperial Forest Army broke into the temple and killed sixteen young monks in the temple......"

Speaking of this, Abbot Zhiguang overflowed some old tears and choked in his throat.

"Did Master Yuanzhu find it?" Shen Yan asked anxiously.

Abbot Zhiguang calmed down, and continued: "The Imperial Forest Army insisted that Senior Brother Yuan Zhi was hiding in the temple and could not find others, so he said that he would kill a monk every half an hour...... Senior Brother Yuan Zhi couldn't bear to be wronged by his classmates, so he took the initiative to show up and stand up, and then ...... They cut off his head on the spot. ”

"What do you say...... But really? Lee Seung-ki seemed so saddened by Won's death that he didn't even believe it was true.

In order to prove that what he said was the truth, Abbot Zhiguang offered to take Li Chengqi and Huo Qing to the main hall of the temple to see the dead Yuan Zhi and the other sixteen young monks. Shen Yan insisted on going together.

The body that was pointed out to be Yuan Zhen no longer had a head. Li Chengqi was silent for a moment, and then ordered Huo Qing to untie his shroud and let him check his back.

"Huo guards slowly!" Seeing this, Abbot Zhiguang hurriedly obstructed, he glanced at Li Chengqi, and said compassionately: "The deceased has passed away, so don't disturb the death of Yuan Zhen's junior brother?" ”

Li Chengqi still signaled Huo Qing to do as he was told.

"Amitabha." Abbot Zhiguang clasped his hands together and recited the mantra of death.

Huo Qing, Li Chengqi and Shen Yan all saw with their own eyes that there was a cross-shaped scar on the back of Yuan Zhen's body.

Seeing this scar, Li Chengqi's eyes suddenly turned red. He reflexively left the hall almost dejected. Seeing him behaving so strangely, Shen Yan followed him out with a ghost.

In a corner of the temple, Li Chengqi held on to the railing with one hand, and his sullen appearance was very ugly.

"Master Yuanzhen, what does it have to do with you? Who is he you, and you are so sad? Shen Yan was behind him, and there was no temptation to ask.

"Why am I always one step ahead of him?" Li Chengqi angrily said something that Shen Yan couldn't understand.

"Who is he?" Shen Yan asked again. She walked up to him, only to notice that there was something moist in his eyes. She was shocked for a moment, she didn't know what or who was enough to shake the soft cowardice in his heart like this.

Li Chengqi quickly turned his face away and looked into the distance to hide his embarrassment.

After a long time, he glanced at Shen Yan and said, "If you are interested, you can go to a place with me." With that, he took a step and walked in the direction of the temple gate.
