The Dragon King Tower caught fire, burned the bottom three floors, and the Dragon King Temple was closed for three days. When the people heard about this, they rushed to watch, and suddenly the temple gate was crowded with people, and the crowd was boiling and talking. I saw several monks holding wooden sticks at the door to prevent the crowd from rushing in.

At this time, Master Wuxian sat on the top of the apse, looked at everyone present with a solemn expression, and then slowly began to speak:

"The sudden occurrence of this fire is not a natural disaster, but man-made, presumably Empress Tianrong will investigate it after learning about it, and before that we must do our best to find the arsonist."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the master next to him again, and then asked: "Master Qiaoyin, you said that you met the murderer last night, do you know where he is now?" ”

The master who is called Qiaoyin is the one who blocked Hua Jiu last night, and she has a pair of thick eyebrows slanted above her eyes, looking very fierce. After thinking for a while, she replied: "The other party is a short-haired girl, and when the poor nun saw that she was sneaky, he stopped her, and saw that she was obviously dressed like a thief, so he thought of locking her up first, and then letting the abbot do it." ”

"Did you see her set fire?" After hearing this, Master Wuqi asked again.

He must be very thoughtful, and he can't just wronged innocent people, after all, this matter is not trivial. It would be too hasty to conclude that the other party set fire to her just because she was a thief, and besides, the Dragon King Tower is often visited by thieves, and their purpose is just to steal treasures, so how can they set fire to make trouble for themselves?

Master Qiaoyin shook her head and replied, "I didn't see it, but she behaved strangely and was a little suspicious, and Master Rhinoceros was also present at the time." ”

Master Rhino Spirit is the old monk that Hua Jiu bumped into last night, and he is also the first of the Dragon King Temple.

At this time, he heard his name being called, so he hurriedly said to Master Wuchao: "Back to the abbot, the old man rushed to the scene when he heard the sound of fire, and suddenly a reckless person rushed from that direction and knocked me to the ground, seeing that she was clearly a thief, and then she ran away in a hurry. The old man thought to himself that as soon as the Dragon King Tower caught fire, there was definitely something wrong with such a sneaky person running out, so he shouted around to catch the thief. ”

"So no one saw her set the fire to it?" After listening to him, Master Wuchao concluded.

As soon as the words fell, the Rhino Spirit Master said again: "At that time, no one else was found except her, so she was very suspicious. ”

"After I caught her, someone who was very good at martial arts rescued her, and apparently they were accomplices." Mrs. Qiaoyin followed behind.

This made Master Wuxian a little suspicious, "Can you see the person who saved her?" He asked.

Both of them shook their heads silently, and at this time, several monks on the side stepped forward and replied:

"We were about to take the thief to the apse, but a sudden black shadow kicked us all down, and the man was so fast that we didn't even see his face, so he took the man away." One of the tall and thin monks said, and a few people next to him immediately echoed: "Yes, that person came suddenly, we didn't even notice it, and then he kicked him down." ”

Master Wuji turned the Buddha bead in his hand, and his heart seemed to be a little uneasy, only to see that his brows were frowning and his eyes were closed.

Seeing that he was slow to speak, Master Qiaoyin couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so she asked, "Abbot, what are we going to do now?" ”

He pondered for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes, sighed, and replied, "The only thing I have to do now is to find the thief and ask for clarification." ”

"Abbot, the old man remembers the thief's face." At this time, the Rhino Spirit Master said.

He nodded, and then said to him, "Then you can go and paint a portrait, and then gather the people to find someone together." ”

After that, the rhino spirit immediately went back to the room to paint a portrait, and Master Qiaoyin took someone to clean the Dragon King Tower. The Dragon King Pagoda was burned black, and the three floors inside were burned out, especially the second layer also stored a lot of scriptures.

Let's talk about the entrance of the Dragon King Temple, the people flocked to see the Dragon King Tower, but they were stopped by a few monks.

"It's being cleaned up inside, everyone, please don't be impatient." A monk said loudly, his face flushed.

However, the people did not intend to give up, and various voices were heard from all directions.

"The Dragon King Tower is the belief of all of us, and now that it is on fire, we also want to go in and see ......"

"What do you mean you're holding us back......"

……

Just when the noise continued, the temple door was suddenly opened, and Master Wuqi walked out slowly, and then said to everyone:

"This fire is a catastrophe for our Dragon King Temple, and now Lao Wei is ordering someone to investigate this matter, I believe it won't be long before I give you an explanation. The Dragon King Tower is still being cleaned, so it will be temporarily closed for three days, I hope you can understand. ”

The people seemed to listen to him, and immediately they all fell silent.

And in the crowd, a young man dressed in Xuanziluo clothes instantly turned pale after hearing this. He was the thief who went to the Dragon King Tower last night to steal the painting, because he had a dispute with Hua Jiu at the time, so he accidentally overturned the candle in the chaos, leading the fire later, so he couldn't escape the blame.

Now it was time to find the short-haired girl first, and she was also half of the responsibility, he thought to himself, he didn't want to bear the charge alone. So, he sneaked out of the crowd.

The street was still as bustling as before, and the young man in purple looked around as he walked, but he still didn't find any trace of the girl. Immediately, he kicked over the table and chair in front of a liquor store.

"Stinky boy! Find fault?! In an instant, the shopkeeper inside ran out and yelled.

The boy was angry, and the anger was nowhere to go, so those tables and chairs suffered. was scolded by the shopkeeper, he became even more angry, stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper, and said fiercely: "Believe it or not, master, I demolished your signboard!" ”

As if frightened by the anger in his eyes, the shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything more, so the young man let him go, snorted coldly and continued to walk forward.

At this time, Hua Jiu, who was eating roast buns inside, walked out, and just now she suddenly heard a loud noise, which was very loud, so that she couldn't help but be curious to come out and take a look. Then I saw that the table and chair in front of the door had been kicked over, and the shopkeeper was taking care of it.

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" She asked.

The shopkeeper looked not far away, sighed silently, and replied, "Alas, unlucky, a kid came to me to make trouble unreasonably." ”

Immediately, Hua Jiu followed his gaze and looked forward, and vaguely saw the back of a purple-clothed young man getting farther and farther away. However, she couldn't help muttering, "Xicheng is really chaotic. ”

At this time, a tall figure appeared behind her, she only felt the cold air swishing, and a sense of terror struck, and she suddenly turned around and looked, and saw Lou Xiaoyue's cold face coming into view.

"It's time to go." He said lightly.
