Chapter 273: The Magic Box Reappears
Zhiyuan was stunned on the spot when I asked, and said to the monk with a slightly gloomy face: "Zhihui, don't talk about it until you find out the facts. ”
Monk Zhihui said unhappily: "Senior brother, am I not right? Who doesn't know that there is only one magic box in the world, and how did the magic box in their hands come about? ”
Zhiyuan said: "Even if you have suspicions, you can't be so arbitrary. The situation in the magic path is unpredictable, anything can happen, even if there is only one magic box in the world, the magic box in the hands of Master Wu may not be a fake. ”
Zhiyuan's words suddenly made most of the anger in my heart disappear.
Zhihui was displeased: "Senior brother doesn't believe in my judgment? If Wu Zhao can prove that the magic box in his hand is not a fake, then I will immediately kowtow to him to make amends; If it can't be proven, then I'll take him into the Presbyterian Council with my own hands to explain. ”
Zhiyuan was silent for a moment before saying, "This matter, wait until we investigate it clearly before making a conclusion!" ”
Zhiyuan gave me a slight salute, turned and walked to the gate of the manor, and rang a bronze bell hanging there. Not long after, a large number of monks from the Praruo Temple gathered towards the gate, and Zhiyuan also raised his voice: "Please ask Sun Yue's donor and Lu Xiaoying's donor to come out and see it." ”
It didn't take long for Lu Xiaoying and Sun Yue to walk out of the manor with their own people. Zhiyuan said: "May I ask Master Sun, is the magic box still in your hands now, can you let the poor monk take a look?" ”
"No problem, I'll arrange it right away." Sun Yue whispered two words to the warlock beside him, and the latter quickly led the ice and snow shuangjiao out, and what they were carrying in their hands was the magic box we saw yesterday.
After Zhiyuan and Zhihui watched together for a long time, Zhihui turned around and said, "Wu Zhao, what else do you have to say now?" ”
I raised my hand and threw the magic box I found to the ground: "I still say the same thing, this magic box suddenly appeared in my station, I don't know what's going on!" ”
When I spoke, my eyes kept looking at Sun Yue, and the latter couldn't help but show a shocked expression.
Zhihui sneered: "Hehe, what if you are clever and eloquent? Why didn't the pseudo-magic box appear in my Panruo Temple, why didn't it appear in the Hanging Mirror Division, but it appeared in your hands? Save your words for the Presbyterian Council to explain! ”
At this time, as if God was deliberately trying to slap Zhihui in the face, Sun Xiaomei suddenly rushed over with the master of the Hanging Mirror Division, and shouted from afar: "Third child, did you lose your magic box, why did it appear in our station?" ”
Everyone looked at Sun Xiaomei in unison, and she was holding an identical magic box in her hand. Sun Xiaomei said inexplicably: "What's wrong with all of you?" Why are they all looking at me? Why are there still two magic boxes here? ”
Sun Yue said sharply: "Old Five, where did your magic box come from?" ”
Sun Xiaomei said: "Just now, I found that a dark sentry left outside had never returned, so I took someone to look for it, but the dark sentry was dead, and he still threw such a magic box on his body." ”
Sun Yue couldn't help but gasp: "What about the dead? Hurry up and bring it to me! ”
The faces of Zhiyuan and Zhihui were also gloomy to the extreme, no one expected that there was only one magic box, and it would appear in the hands of different people in three parts.
When a group of us were silent, a middle-aged monk hurriedly ran over and whispered something in Zhiyuan's ear, and Zhiyuan's eyes instantly glared: "Where is it?" Hurry up and get it! ”
After a while, the monk rushed over with a magic box. At this moment, the crowd stirred like a frying pan, and many people wanted to squeeze forward, but they were reprimanded back by their respective leaders.
Zhihui was also stunned for a long time before asking, "Where did you get this?" ”
The monk said: "Just now Uncle Shi rang the alarm bell, I found that a disciple had not come to gather, so I took someone to look for him, but I didn't expect that he had died on the sentry post, holding the magic box in his arms. ”
I said quickly, "Have you moved the corpse?" ”
The monk subconsciously said, "No, we just removed the magic box." ”
While we were talking, Sun Xiaomei's men had already carried the body over, and I walked up with Sun Yue and Zhiyuan. I reached out and pressed the corpse and flipped it back and forth twice: "The fatal wound is on the neck, it looks like it has been bitten by a poisonous snake." But judging from the distance of the wound, the snake's head had to be at least the size of a football, otherwise the upper and lower tooth marks could not have been on either side of his neck. ”
Demon fox Sun Yue beckoned back: "Nangong Ling, come and take a look." ”
Nangong Ling took out a silver needle from her sleeve and pierced the wound on the corpse's neck, and when she pulled out the silver needle, half of the silver needle had become black and dark. Nangong Ling put the silver needle under his nose and sniffed it before saying: "He has been poisoned by snakes, and the poison is very violent, even if the wound is not open on the neck, this person will not live for ten breaths." ”
Sun Yue said: "That master, is it inconvenient for Fang to take us to see the body of the murdered master?" ”
"This way, please." With a wave of his hand, Zhiyuan led us to a bush.
It was indeed a hidden outpost, and the camouflaged weeds above the outpost were removed, and below it was a bunker large enough for one person to sit in. The monk in charge of guarding the secret sentry in the temple sat cross-legged and died in the bunker, the legs of the corpse did not move, but the upper body twisted in the direction of his left leg, it seems that he should have slapped his left leg before dying.
After I opened the trouser of the deceased with a dagger, I saw four round tooth marks on his legs.
I looked up some distance along the corpse's leg and said, "The big snake that bit the monk to death should have swam into the dark post in this direction." The other party was very fast, and he didn't even make much noise before he scurried into the dark whistle. ”
I compared it with my hand: "Judging from the overwhelmed grass branch next to it, the front half of the snake should be about the width of an adult, and the tail should be much thinner." ”
I returned to the corpse: "After the snake bit the monk's thigh, he once struck the snake on the head with a slash, tearing a piece of hair from the snake's head. ”
I grabbed the corpse's palm, and sure enough, in his palm was a piece of human hair with a scalp attached to it.
Monk Zhihui gasped: "Human head snake body? What kind of monster is that? ”
I looked at Sun Yue and said, "I have to ask Sun Yue about this." ”
Sun Yue did not shy away from saying: "Last night, a snake appeared in my station, but it was killed by us on the spot. If necessary, I'll have the snake carcass brought over at once. ”
Monk Zhiyuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Let's go into the manor together and have a look!" ”
A few of us were about to turn around, but Zhihui suddenly shouted, "Master Wu, wait a minute." ”
I looked at the other party coldly: "What else do you have to do?" ”
Zhihui took two steps forward and fell to his knees: "The poor monk acted recklessly, misunderstood the donor, and made amends to the donor." ”
"Wait a minute!" I saw that the other party was about to kowtow to the ground, and I wanted to reach out to stop him, but Zhihui had already bowed down. I quickly stepped aside, but Zhihui seriously kowtowed three times in a row.
Just now I was thinking about how to teach Zhihui a lesson, but now I was at a loss. In fact, even if he pretended that nothing had happened, I would not ask him to fulfill his promise and kowtow in public under such circumstances.
But Zhihui did it, what did he do?
Could it be that he is trying to push me against the temple with three rings?
When I squinted at Zhihui, Monk Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh: "Don't worry about Master Wu, my junior brother is like this, he acts arbitrarily and impulsively, but he does what he says." The donor will know it later. ”
When I looked at Zhihui, I believed Zhiyuan's explanation for eight points. If Zhihui was really a scheming person, he would have to pretend to be aggrieved to win sympathy, but he naturally stood next to his senior brother, and he didn't mean to continue to entangle.
I didn't think much about it, and immediately followed the group back to the manor. When I saw the corpse of the snake, I couldn't help but be taken aback - the whole snake had been broken down into several piles by the Hanging Mirror Division inside and out, and placed neatly on the long table.
Demon Fox Sun Yue said: "We have been studying this snake yesterday, so we completely split it from skin to bone. ”
Sun Yue pointed to the snake skin spread on the ground and said, "This snake, no trace of temporary patchwork from skin to bones, looks like a monster that has just hatched." However, the internal organs of this snake make us feel a little strange. ”
Sun Yue pointed to a pile of internal organs on the table and said, "This is obviously human internal organs." ”
I looked at the organs carefully and felt that what the other party said was correct. No matter how much the upper body of the snake resembles a human, its internal organs should also be biased towards snakes, especially the position where the human body and the snake body meet, but there is no snake feature on those internal organs.
Demon fox Sun Yue looked at me and said, "There are some things, can you ask Mr. Wu to explain to me?" ”
I hesitated for a moment, but then told what I saw as it was. After hearing this, Zhiyuan couldn't help but shout a Buddha name: "I didn't expect the magic box to be so weird!" Master Wu, are you sure that the magic box compass pointed to the Kan position at that time? ”
"That's right!" I nodded, "The big position must be a kan, and later, my attention was all on the snake, and I didn't see what the direction behind me was." ”
"Hmm!" Zhiyuan said, "Mark the four magic boxes and bring them all." ”
The four boxes were all in their respective hands, and they were not mixed together, and when we put all four boxes in one place, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Not only are the four magic boxes identical, but even the directions indicated by the compass above are identical.
Zhiyuan was silent for a long time before he said, "What do you think?" ”
