Chapter 116: Sudden Scream
Zhan Yan nodded and said: "There is such a thing, but it is not a letter from Miss Ying's family to the temple, but a letter from Xiaozhi's father to Miss Ying when she left the temple and returned to Ying's house in the county. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
If this is the case, it is really that in the time between the two murders, there is no one outside the temple whom Ying Yin knows has ever visited and stayed in the temple.
There were two murders in a row, and there were almost no pilgrims in Qianguang Temple who came to the temple to add incense and oil.
Yin Seventeen thought for a while and asked, "During this period, will there be people from far away who don't know about the murder in the Qianguang Temple, and come here because of the extremely effective incense of the Qianguang Temple?" ”
Zhan Yan affirmed: "No, I have asked the officials to guard the entrance of the Qianguang Temple, and even the remote path that can go down the mountain and exit the temple from the back mountain, and let the officials strictly guard it, no matter whether there are outsiders who go up the mountain from the back mountain to enter the temple, or enter the temple from the gate openly, there will be officials to tell me." ”
Yin Seventeen nodded and fell silent.
Zhan Yan drank all the tea in his own cup, and saw that most of the tea in the seventeen cups of Yin had drunk most of it, so he brought the teapot and filled the two of them with a full saying:
"Just now in the Wupin Master Zen Academy, you and I are squatting in the flower garden, I see that your expression is a little strange when you look undiminished, did you find something wrong?"
Zhan Yan's meticulous and sharp observation made Yin Seventeen startled, and if he also had her ability, he would definitely be much more powerful than her, and she was afraid that he couldn't even compare to his small tail finger!
Although he was only puzzled in his heart, and he hadn't found out the answer yet, Yin Seventeen still poured it out:
"I can't say that I found any problems, but I felt that when I saw the undiminished face, he made me feel very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere, but for a while I couldn't remember it at all, I thought it would make me feel familiar, but I couldn't think of the person I had seen at all, probably the person I had only glanced at when I was passing by on the street or on the road!"
Since the first deceased Bai Lanzhi was found and reported in Qianguang Temple, to the second deceased Yingyin was killed in front of the temple gate, Yin Seventeen has been searching for clues, in addition to going to the Longmen Inn in Hualin County with Hua Zilai, and also going to Bai Lanzhi's home with Zhanyan, and then coming back to find out Ying Yin's death, and then Hua Zilai went to Hualin County again, but she has been staying in Qianguang Temple with Zhanyan, even if she goes out, she only searches around Qianguang Temple.
Thinking about it this way, there are probably only three places where Yin Seventeen may have seen Wuji, one is in the Qianguang Temple, the second is to go to Hualin County, and the third is Hongsha County.
In addition to Qianguang Temple, the scope of Huanlin County and Hongsha County is very large, and there are not many avenues, paths, streets and alleys that Yin Seventeen has walked, but it is definitely not less, which makes her think about it for a while!
Thinking about it, his eyes were a little sleepy and couldn't open them, Yin Seventeen yawned twice in a row, and said with a smile:
"It's late, go to sleep, I'll go back to the next room to rest, if you call me something, I'll come over."
Yin Seventeen had a headache when she thought about things that were unabated, and she had to empty her brain as soon as she had a headache, and as soon as her brain was empty, her eyelids would fight, and when she heard Zhanyan's words, she just nodded indiscriminately, and she didn't really hear it clearly.
Zhan Yan saw that Yin Seventeen was like this, and he didn't say anything more, went out of the wing, and closed the door of the wing, and then returned to the column room to rest.
After a while, the oil lamp on Yin Seventeen's side went out, and the oil lamp on Zhanyan's side went out.
When she slept until she was in a daze, Yin Seventeen turned over, and she seemed to hear some strange sounds in her ears, her eyes were still closed, but her ears couldn't help but move slightly, but she didn't pay attention to it, thinking in a daze that something might have fallen.
After a few more moments, Yin Seventeen, who had fallen asleep, did not hear any more noise.
"Ahh
After about a cup of tea, a scream suddenly pierced the sky, almost deafening Yin Seventeen's ears, she quickly got up and opened the compartment door, fortunately she has always been accustomed to sleeping in clothes when she is outside, and when she ran out of the compartment door, she met Zhanyan, who was also running out of the wing room in a hurry.
Yin Seventeen said urgently: "What's the matter? The screams just now seem to be ...... It seems to be ......"
Zhan Yan said in a deep voice: "From the array room! ”
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw something strange in each other's eyes.
Since Bai Lanzhi was killed, Mo said that Zhanyan had ordered a blockade, except for the people in the yamen, no one was allowed to approach or enter, even if it was not blocked, no one dared to enter the wing room where people had died.
But tonight, a scream sounded in the wing room for no reason!
Tonight was really an eventful night, first Wuwei made a big fuss in the Wuming Zen room, and then there was such a strange scream suddenly coming from the wing room.
Zhan Yan is the same as Yin Seventeen, he didn't take off his robe when he rested, he only lay down with his clothes to rest, and when he heard the scream, he quickly got up and ran out of the wing room, and touched Yin Seventeen, who had just opened the wing.
After the two glanced at each other, they walked together to the innermost chamber.
The door of the chamber was wide open.
As soon as the two of them walked to the door of the chamber with wide open, they saw a monk lying in the door, grasping the direction of the door with one hand, as if he wanted to grasp the threshold of the chamber door, and holding a string of Buddhist beads tightly with the other hand, and the stool that was kicked over or knocked down at the end of his feet could be seen, and the monk was full of horror and had passed out.
Yin Seventeen wanted to step into the threshold, but Zhan Yan stopped him:
"I'm in advance!"
Yin Qiyi's heart jumped inexplicably when he heard this, and he was slightly stunned when he looked at the back of Zhan Yan, who had stepped into the threshold first.
The wing room is blackened, the door is wide open, the faint moonlight shines into the compartment, and Zhanyan can only see the front of the compartment door and a very small range on the left and right.
The oil lamp on the table has been there, and Zhanyan looked around the compartment for a week, and saw that there was no foreign object or abnormal party that lit the oil lamp.
As soon as the oil lamp was lit, the compartment instantly lit up, and everything was clear at a glance.
Everything in the chamber is still the same, nothing has changed, it seems that there is no difference except for one more monk.
Shining on the light of the oil lamp, Yin Seventeen saw the appearance of the monk who had passed out, and she squatted down and said:
"Really?"
Zhan Yan also saw the monk's face clearly and said, "Why are the attendant disciples around Master Yile here?" ”
Yin Qiqi raised his eyes to look at Zhanyan and said, "Could it be that he is the one who came to ask us not to tell us about Wuwei making a big fuss about Master Wuming's meditation room?" ”
Zhan Yan walked around the compartment and didn't find it, so he returned to Ji Zhen and squatted down and said:
"It should be, let's help the real one up first."
Yin Seventeen nodded, and Zhan Yan helped Ji Zhen up from the cold ground, and let Ji Zhen sit against the door panel on one side of the door.
After supporting the truth, Yin Seventeen also wandered around the array room, and like Zhan Yan, she also didn't find anything abnormal:
"It seems that we will have to wait until we are really awake before we can ask about the situation."
The backyard of Senkoji Temple is divided into two parts, one part is the guest courtyard and the other part is the large Zen temple.
The guest house is located on the right side of the backyard, and there is only a circular courtyard between the large Zen courtyard on the left side of the backyard, which is the boundary between the guest house and the great Zen temple, and it is also the barrier between the pilgrims who represent the world and the monks who represent the empty door.
In the dead of night, the really sharp and loud screams not only woke up Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan, who had slept recently, but also attracted two disciples who got up before the end of the night.
A Dharma name is the beginning, and a Dharma name is the end.
Both of them were about to go to the back mountain, and when they passed by the guest house, they heard the real scream, and suddenly felt that something must have happened, so they hurried to find the source of the sound.
When I found the array room, I saw Ji Zhen who was in a coma leaning against the door panel, and I saw Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen looking at something in the array room.
The beginning and the end squatted down in front of the real body, and the two of them hurriedly checked the real situation, but neither of them knew how to heal, so they could only be anxious, and Yin Seventeen saw this and said:
"The two little masters don't need to be in a hurry, that is, the real little masters are fine, they are just scared and fainted, and they will wake up in a few hours."
The beginning, the end of the party settled down, that is, the end of the beginning of the beginning of the whisper:
"I don't know what happened to me, that scream really shocked me into a cold sweat!"
Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan's ears were sharp, and naturally they also heard it.
Isn't it, the two of them also woke up in shock, although they didn't break out in a cold sweat, but they were also shocked that their heartbeats were faster than a beat or two.
The array wing room was not found, that is, the beginning, the end of the support is really out of the array room, to the next door Yin Seventeen temporarily lived such as the wing room bed to lie down, Yin Seventeen later, Zhan Yan closed the door of the array of wings, also entered the wing room together.
That is, the beginning and the end are the disciples of the prison courtyard, under the master of enlightenment who is responsible for production and cultivation, the two of them have always passed through the guest courtyard to the back mountain before dawn, and then followed the path to the ten acres of vegetable fields specially cultivated in the Houshan Temple.
That is, he said: "Anatabha, since there is no big problem with Jizhen, the poor monk and Jimo will go to the vegetable garden in Houshan to water and weed, that is, there are really two poor masters to take care of one or two." ”
At the end of the day, he also said: "There are two bad masters!" ”
Zhan Yan said: "The two little masters are polite. ”
Yin Seventeen said softly: "Two little masters, please rest assured, we will definitely take good care of the real little master!" ”
I also asked who the two of them saw when they passed by the guest house?
Both the beginning and the end shook their heads and said, no.
After the two left, Yin Seventeen looked at the backs of the two and thought about it, and asked:
"Do they have a problem?"
Yin Seventeen said: "Normal people always have to think about it when they hear others ask, when they meet someone on the way here, but just now they are obviously different, that is, after hearing my question, there is surprise in their eyes, and then they quickly shake their heads, that is, the end first opened his mouth slightly, although it was very subtle and quickly closed tightly, but he was still caught by me!" ”
Zhan Yan replied in a low voice: "Surprised? ”
That Hui Zhanyan didn't pay much attention to the dynamics of the expressions of the two people, and only had a mind on the comatose Jizhen.
And Yin Seventeen was able to catch the two of them in the beginning, and the two were obviously prepared, and Zhan Yan continued:
"You have long doubted the beginning and the end?"
Yin Seventeen shook his head slightly and said: "No, I just feel that any clues should not be let go, so when I asked the beginning and the end, I paid more attention, and then I found out that their strange appearance, they obviously reacted surprised after hearing my question, but they tried their best to hide this surprised demeanor, why is this?" ”
Zhan Yan said: "There must be demons when things go wrong, they are deliberately hiding something!" ”
Yes, concealment!
As for what she was hiding, she had to start with the question asked by Yin Seventeen, and she said:
"I asked, 'Did you meet anyone on the way through the guest house?', and if they wanted to hide it, then what they were hiding must be the truth, and the answer given to me must be false!"
That is to say, on the way to or through the guest house, there were actually people who they met, but for some reason, they chose to hide it.
Zhan Yan looked at the sky outside the window and said: "It's already two quarters of the hour, I estimate that in another two quarters of an hour, that is, I should be able to wake up, since the beginning and the end are deliberately concealing the true answer, then apart from them, now there is only someone who is most likely to see Jizhen." ”
Yin Qiqi looked at Zhan Yan and said, "What does Brother Zhan mean is that someone is pretending to be a ghost, so that he is so frightened that he really screams and faints in fright?" ”
Zhan Yan said: "Since you have concluded that they lied to us from the beginning and the end, then the answer to the question you asked should be who they have seen, and for some reason, that is, they have to do this, that is, the beginning and the end, then according to their deliberate concealment, that is, the true situation and the current situation, this is the greatest possibility. ”
Yin Seventeen walked to the bed and looked at the truth that had not yet woken up:
"When they hear my question, they will be surprised for two reasons, one is that they didn't expect me to ask such a question, so they were surprised, and the other is that when they met someone, that person made it clear to them, and if someone asked such a question, they all shook their heads and said they didn't know, so they would be surprised, they were surprised that the person expected it!"
And no matter what kind of surprise it is, it shows that the beginning and the end are hiding the real answer from her and Zhanyan.
So who was that person they met?
The person who can make the two monks hide the true answer even if they don't hesitate to say something should be a person with great prestige in the temple, but the beginning and the end are just ordinary disciples in the Qianguang Temple, and there are many masters who can deter them, and this is undoubtedly a big project to investigate.
Yin Seventeen thought of this, her head hurt a little again, she frowned and said:
"Brother Zhan, I'll take a look in the array room again!"
Zhan Yan had already seen Yin Seventeen's extremely troubled appearance in his eyes, and when he heard her say this, he said softly:
"Okay, be careful!"
Yin Seventeen couldn't help laughing: "It's right next door, what can happen?" ”
Zhan Yan said seriously: "Be careful in everything!" ”
As he spoke, Zhanyan's gaze fell on the still unconscious Ji Zhen, and the meaning was self-evident.
Yin Seventeen understood the meaning of Zhanyan, so he smiled and replied:
"Got it!"
When she stepped out of the threshold of the wing, Yin Seventeen felt in a trance that Zhan Yan seemed to have said the same words of great concern for her last night. (To be continued.) )
