Sunday.

Outside, dark clouds were thick, thunder rumbled, and a curtain of rain like beads ran through the heavens and the earth.

But Chu Mufeng didn't have such weather, so he stayed at home to rest.

With an umbrella, he went straight to the Terracotta Hutong in the capital.

Among the four brothers, although Shen Lang is a master who is not doing his job, he is also good at it, that is, he likes to collect and study some strange things.

Just like ordinary people play collecting, they are mainly calligraphy, painting and antiques, but he prefers to string beads by hand.

This blood Buddha bead, maybe Shen Lang can see the origin.

came to the courtyard where Shen Qingfeng used to live in the Terracotta Hutong.

Since the case of the wild ghost knocking on the door, Shen Qingfeng disliked the bad luck here, and it happened that Shen Lang said that he wanted to go out to live, so he simply transferred this house to him.

in the living room.

Shen Lang didn't expect Chu Mufeng to come over on this rainy day, but he didn't think there was anything strange, everyone was so familiar, there was no need to be polite at all.

"Alas, this bird is so innocent that I'm getting tired of it, it's stuffy and damp, and I sleep every day like I'm being punished, it's uncomfortable, fourth, or let's just go to Daihe to escape the heat!" Shen Lang patted his tummy belly and said with an unhappy face.

"I said the third child, you are content!"

Chu Mufeng picked up the watermelon soaked in well water on the table, took two bites, and said with a smile: "You have enjoyed it so much, and you are still complaining here, aren't the ordinary people and homeless people in the slums unable to survive?" ”

"If you feel that this kind of life is not easy, or I will send you to live in the Pao'er Bureau for two days, and ensure that you will sleep when you go to bed after you come out, and you will definitely not feel uncomfortable."

"Gotta get it, don't get it, you want my life!"

Shen Lang shook his hands, picked up a piece of chilled watermelon and ate it, looked at the rain in the courtyard outside, and said casually.

"Fourth, our brothers haven't been together for a while, why don't you call the eldest and second to come over at noon today, right here for me, and I'll let the next person go to a nearby restaurant to order wine and food on the hour?"

"Look at this rain like a pour, it is estimated that it will not stop for a while, just after eating, let's play a few more rounds of cards for entertainment."

"Okay, you're in charge!" Chu Mufeng said indifferently.

If you don't fight the ready-made local tyrants, who are you going to fight?

"Well, I'll arrange this, I'll make a call first!" Shen Lang stood up as he spoke, put down the watermelon and prepared to make a phone call.

"Don't worry, I have something to ask you here." Chu Mufeng raised his hand to stop him.

"What's the matter? Still need to ask me? Third child, you're not kidding, are you? Shen Lang couldn't help laughing.

"Take a look at this first!"

Chu Mufeng took out the bag from his pocket, poured the blood Buddha bead into his palm and handed it over.

After Shen Lang took it, he casually swept his eyes and smiled: "Hey, I said that this is not a red sandalwood Buddha bead?" What's so rare? ”

"Third child, this Buddha bead is not ordinary, you better take a closer look and see if you can see something." Chu Mufeng said with a solemn expression.

"Oh, really?"

Seeing the seriousness of the fourth child, Shen Lang also put away his smiling face, took the Buddha beads in his hand and looked at them carefully.

Seeing this, a different color flashed between his eyebrows, and he said with a little surprise: "Hey, this Buddha bead is indeed exquisite!" ”

"What's so important?" Chu Mufeng asked with some anticipation.

"Wait until I have a good look!"

After Shen Lang looked at it carefully, he was sure: "Fourth, this Buddha bead of yours is a magic weapon of Tantra, and I am sure it is still a branch of Tantra, Xiaohuanxi Sect." ”

"Tantra? Little Huanxi Sect? What kind of sect is that? Chu Mufeng asked puzzled.

"Come, sit down, and I'll give you a detailed explanation."

Shen Lang is really the best at such a partial door, and he talks eloquently with this Buddha bead.

"Tantra has been transmitted to our country from the holy places of Buddhism, and it is a sect of Buddhism, and I won't tell you what kind of Dharma I emphasize, and you won't be interested in it."

"As long as you know that Tantra does not have a complete inheritance in our country, the reason for this is that the three martial arts and one sect destroy the Buddha."

Chu Mufeng nodded, he knew this history.

"So now the most complete lineage of Tantra is on the side of the Japanese invaders! Xiao Huanxi Sect is a school that only exists in the Tantric sect of the island country, this school of practice Buddhism can't help but be feminine, and even encourages the method of double cultivation, so there are many female monks in the Little Huanxi Sect. Shen Lang raised his hand and pointed to the northeast.

"I'm sure this Buddha bead came from the Little Huanxi Sect, a branch of the Tantric sect in the island country, because of this symbol, have you seen it? Only the Little Huanxi Sect over there will use this kind of logo, which is an exclusive emblem. ”

Shen Lang raised the bottom of the Buddha bead as he spoke, and when he saw that pattern, Chu Mufeng was not much surprised.

Because he'd seen it before, but he didn't know what it meant.

It was a petal called Sakura.

And this cherry corn is different, there are very complex lines on the petals, and even if you don't know how to see these lines, you won't know what it means.

"Do you mean this cherry blossom?" Chu Mufeng raised his head and asked.

"No, no, no, it's true that the cherry blossom is the symbol of the Little Huanxi Sect, but the real sign is the words on it, do you see those lines? To tell you, these lines are actually four words, which are translated into our Chinese and are joyful! ”

"That's why I'm sure that this is the symbol of the Little Huanxi Sect, and as long as it is a person from the Little Huanxi Sect, they will wear such Buddhist beads."

When Shen Lang said this, he couldn't help but ask a little suspiciously, "Fourth, how can you have the Buddha beads of the Little Huanxi Sect here?" Where did you get it from? ”

"You must know that such a Buddha bead is a status symbol for them, and they will definitely collect it close to their hearts, and they will never lose it casually, do you have anything to say about this Buddha bead?"

Island Tantra! Little Joy Sect! Rosewood Buddha beads!

Chu Mufeng muttered in his mouth, feeling that this case seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog.

What he originally thought was that the murderer was either the so-called real murderer five years ago, or a crazy imitator who had recently emerged, and no matter how he thought about it, he never thought that he would be a Buddhist from the island country.

But Shen Lang's words are very clear!

This Buddha bead belongs to the Xiaohuanxi Sect, and this sect is only available in island countries, is it true that people from island countries can't do it?

"Third child, do you think it's possible that our Huaxia people went to the island country to practice in the Little Huanxi Sect?"

"In this case, he is also a believer of the Little Huanxi Sect, and he can wear such Buddha beads, right?"

"This ......"

Shen Lang hesitated slightly, shook his head and said noncommittally: "If you say so, I can't be sure, but what I am sure of is that the Buddha beads are definitely related to the Little Huanxi Sect." As for whether it is from the island country or our Huaxia, it is difficult to say. ”

"Okay, I got it!"

With Shen Lang's words, Chu Mufeng had some points in his heart.

At the very least, such words can prove something, and I have a direction for my future investigation, and I will not be blind without knowing anything.

"Go ahead, call the eldest and second, let's have noon and hour today."

Chu Mufeng, who was in a good mood, put away the beads and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll arrange it!" Shen Lang replied with a smile.

In these years, as long as you have money, you are a proper uncle, it is normal to raise a few people at home, and you only need to tell you what to do.

The matter of solving the case will be put on Monday, and today it is better to contact the brothers first.

……

Night.

The thunder was gone, and the rain was much lighter, but it was still pouring down and converging into streams in the streets.

Most places in Beiping City have fallen into darkness, affected by the weather, and the neighbors who can still come out to chat in groups on weekdays can only stay at home, and there is no other entertainment activities, so they go to bed early.

At that moment, a figure staggered down the street, falling to the ground with a pop as it walked.

But the man didn't seem to care that he was soaking wet all over his body, and he didn't feel pain from the bleeding from the corners of his mouth.

Slowly getting up, with the smell of alcohol all over his body, he pointed his fingers and yelled like a madman.

"You grandsons, don't leave any of them today! Drink, let's continue to drink, if you don't drink down, I'll write the willow character upside down! ”

"Hey, people, where have you all been? Come and drink with me! ”

He shouted as he continued to walk in a staggering way.

Soon, the drunk man turned a corner and walked into an alley on the side of the street.

This alley is called a pond.

The inside of the alley was pitch black, with rainwater falling from the eaves on both sides, and the ground was also pitted.

He walked so deep and shallow, and as he walked, he felt as if there was some movement behind him, and he subconsciously stopped and turned to look over.

But before he could turn his head, the man behind him violently covered his nose, and after a few seconds, he fainted and collapsed limply on the ground.

The man in black wears a bull's head mask.

He looked down condescendingly at the man lying in the puddle, his eyes full of indifference, and slowly crouched down.

The masked man grabbed the other man's right hand, raised his hand and held a machete in his hand, and without any hesitation, he suddenly swung it down.

"Ahh

Stimulated by the severe pain, the man who was originally in a coma woke up suddenly, let out a wail, tried to open his eyes a slit, and vaguely saw a figure, holding a hand, and disappeared into the alley.

He struggled desperately to his feet, his body trembling and walking out, but he didn't take a few steps before he fell to the ground again.

The pain of the severed hand made him almost faint, but he gritted his teeth, got up again, wrapped his wound in his clothes, and continued to run.

He knew that he could only survive by running out, and he didn't want to die here like this.

Finally ran out of the mouth of the alley, leaning against the wall, he looked around helplessly, and shouted: "Help! Help me! ”

Then he fell to the ground and fell into a coma.
