Cai Lingxiao let go of him and laughed: "It's really worthy of the roundworm in my stomach, no wonder the two of us are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, but we can often meet in our dreams." I have a big deal to ask you about here, and I want you to do everything in your power to help me solve the sword theft case as soon as possible. ”

The Ethereal Master said heartily, "Okay, as long as I can still use it for you, just ask." Whether it's going up the knife mountain or going down to the sea of fire, I will spare no effort to help you. ”

Cai Ling Xiaole said: "You are still the same person you were back then, I didn't make your friend in vain." I'll get straight to the point! You don't need to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I heard that Hanyue Jingyun eloped with your Kunsheng monk here, and then I heard that he was murdered, is it true? If you want to see people alive and corpses when you die, have you found the bodies of two people? ”

The Ethereal Master was too depressed to say, "The rumors are true, but no one has been found, and no body has been found." It is said that the monk Kunsheng took the cold moon Jingyun to Qionglong Mountain and lived a reclusive life, and later heard that they were murdered. However, Yu Thorn Shi and others went up the mountain to search, searched the entire Qionglong Mountain, and so far have not found the bodies of the two people, whether they are dead or alive has become a mystery. In my opinion, Monk Kun Sheng is so strong in martial arts that ordinary people can't kill him. If they are really dead and buried, unless they are secretly poisoned and other indiscriminate means to kill them. Whether Hanyue Jingyun can do martial arts or not, I don't know, maybe only her family and Monk Kunsheng know. ”

Cai Lingxiao asked suspiciously: "Monk Kunsheng had an affair with Cold Moon Jingyun, don't you know?" The precepts of the Qing officials of Hanshan Temple should be very strict, why is there such a thing? ”

The ethereal master shook his head and said, "If there are too many people, it is inevitable that there will be a few people who are out of line, how can they all be people according to the rules?" However, as the abbot of Hanshan Temple, I have an unshirkable responsibility. If you need my help in any way, just tell me in detail, do whatever you need, and do everything you can to serve you. ”

Cai Lingxiao smiled and said, "You are too sensitive, I don't mean to condemn you." There are so many monks in Hanshan Temple, it is difficult to control everyone's movements, which I understand. I came here today to crack the matter of the Tang sword. As well as related matters such as Ren Youlan's disappearance, Leng Yue's and cold stars' whereabouts unknown, Zhang Zelan's murder, etc., please cooperate with me. If you have a difficulty, you might as well speak up. ”

The Ethereal Master was too confused to ask, "I haven't left Hanshan Temple for a long time, why have so many things happened outside?" Ren Youlan and Cold Moon Hanxing don't know where to go, when did it happen? Have you been looking for it? Who murdered Zhang Zelan? She is Yu Wensi's insider, could it be that Yu Wensi offended some people, they took revenge on Zhang Zelan and warned Yu Wensi! ”

Cai Lingxiao shook his head and said, "The matter is not as simple as you think, it must be related to the sword theft case." According to the investigation some time ago, the Pingjiang Prefecture Government Office is targeting two people, if you have the whereabouts of these two people, then you can directly arrest these two people and solve the case. ”

The Ethereal Master hesitated for a moment and said, "Yu Wensi also once came to me and mentioned Lao Su and Miao Wuying, I don't know if the two people you said are the same as what Yu Wensi said. ”

Cai Lingxiao nodded and said, "Yes, do you know these two people?" ”

The Ethereal Master stared at Cai Lingxiao and asked, "Is it really related to Miao Wuying and Lao Suo?" I don't know Miao Wuying, but I had an unforgettable friendship with Lao Suo. A few days ago, I also came to stay here for several nights, and the one who left Hanshan Temple before yesterday was a kind old man who came and went without a trace, and now he is gone, but I guess he will come back soon. ”

Cai Lingxiao said solemnly: "I may not come back during this time, but I may not have left Qionglong City, but I won't stay here with you." ”

The ethereal master asked too nervously: "According to the results of your yamen's investigation, the sword thieves are Lao Suo and Miao Wuying, but I don't feel that Lao Suo is not a bad person, and his martial arts are not good, so how can he steal the famous sword of the Tang Dynasty?" What did he do with stealing these swords? Give it away? To whom? ”

Cai Lingxiao whispered: "What is the use, only the thief himself knows, before the case is solved, who is the real thief is not sure, you will tell me everything you know." Some time ago, what did Lao Su come to you for? Do you have frequent contact with those people and stay with you day and night? What kind of sword do you wear? You can recall it carefully and then tell me. ”

The two of them were silent for a quarter of an hour, and under Cai Lingxiao's silent gaze, the ethereal master reluctantly opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "Lao Suo said that he was idle and had nothing to do, and he wanted to come to Hanshan Temple to learn Buddhist scriptures, and he would go back to Chang'an after staying for a few days, and he didn't stay with me day and night." I have my own things to do, so I don't have time to talk to him at all. According to eyewitnesses, Lao Suo did not go to chant and chant Buddha in Hanshan Temple in the past few days, as if he went out early and returned late, and he was very busy. Later, in the past few days, I seemed to have brought a person to Hanshan Temple, and I saw that it was a thin woman, and she said goodbye to me the next day. ”

Cai Lingxiao asked vigilantly: "Did Lao Suo take that woman to resign to you?" Who is this woman, do you know? Why did he lie about studying Buddhist scriptures, but in fact he was very busy when he went out early and returned late at night. ”

The Ethereal Master asked suspiciously, "I don't know why he lied, if you know why, you might as well tell me directly, and I can also investigate some of the information you need." ”

Cai Lingxiao looked at him and asked, "Is the woman taken away by Lao Su a cold moon and a cold star?" Or Ren Youlan, can you help me check it, is it convenient? If the woman he took away was Leng Yue Hanxing, then why did he take her away? Is it to escape from being the emperor's dancing queen? Where have you gone now? Can you help me investigate more? What happens in Hanshan Temple depends on you. When the deed is done, it will be rewarded. ”

The ethereal master hung his head and said, "No matter what happens, what happens in the territory under my jurisdiction is my own business, how can I reward it?" I was so ashamed to treat the thief as a friend and let him go. If you don't punish me, I'll thank God, Amitabha. ”

Cai Lingxiao smiled bitterly: "Don't worry about it anymore, let's go our separate ways now, you can investigate Lao Suo, tell me immediately if there is any situation." I have been living in the inn of Meng Chenyuan's pastry shop during this time, it is inconvenient for you to come to me, I will come to you once a day, is it okay? ”

The ethereal master hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "I still frequented the pastry shop, I like to eat mung beans and osmanthus cakes made by Meng Chenyuan, and when there is a situation, I will go to you to report, what's the matter?" ”

Cai Lingxiao nodded and said, "Okay, it's just that my whereabouts are uncertain, and I can only agree to meet at noon every day, I don't know if it's convenient for you?" ”

The ethereal master was too embarrassed to say, "If you want to make an appointment to meet, then I can't say." Or you come to me, I'm in Hanshan Temple anyway, and the place of activity is nothing more than the Tibetan Scripture Building, the Flower Basket Building, the main hall, the main hall, the side hall, the mountain gate hall, come to me with you. ”

Cai Lingxiao smiled bitterly: "Okay, then it's decided, I'll come to you every other day, it's too eye-catching to come every day." ”

The Ethereal Master nodded and asked in a low voice, "Can you act separately?" I'm going to find someone to find out about the situation now, and if you stay at Hanshan Temple for fasting in the evening, then I'll report to you directly. ”

Cai Lingxiao shook his hand and said: "It's free to eat, I'm not used to eating with monks, I'll go to your bedroom tomorrow afternoon to talk, and at the same time bring the portraits of Ren Youlan and Leng Yue Hanxing for your reference and comparison, how about it?" ”

The Ethereal Master said too boldly, "Okay, then let's split up." I wish you a speedy solution. Stay safe. ”

Cai Lingxiao smiled and waved his hand: "You are the same, pay attention to protect yourself and everyone in Hanshan Temple." ”

The ethereal master said too happily: "Thank you for the reminder, I'm leaving." ”

Cai Lingxiao looked at his back and walked away, and then slowly raised his feet and walked forward. Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure cross a bush, and in a flash, his hair stood on end with nervousness, and chased after the shadow. Suddenly, I saw her jump out of the high wall and fly away, and her heart immediately flashed in her heart when Ren Youlan was learning light skills, and she concluded in her heart that this person was Ren Youlan, what did she do in Hanshan Temple? Cai Lingxiao hurriedly chased outside the wall to check the footprints on the ground. But the ground was full of dry weeds, and she couldn't find her footprints at all, so she hurriedly climbed over the wall to find the footprints under the root of the wall, and occasionally saw a cloth shoe landing on the ground, and only half a footprint, which looked a little big, not like a woman's shoe prints, I don't know when the footprints were left. The mystery in Cai Lingxiao's heart rose, and he slowly straightened up, scanning the surrounding environment, only the sound of the wind beating the leaves of the trees, accompanied by the sound of birds skimming the trees, echoed in the sky above the wall. The bird that was looking up at the sky was hovering over, and suddenly heard the sound of a bird falling to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the bird, and suddenly saw a note tied under the bird's belly, and quickly untied the rope and picked up the note to look at it carefully.

Lord Cai: Don't come to harm, if you don't want to die in Qionglong City, hurry back to Chang'an Dali Temple to be your Cai Shaoqing, and you will come to this troubled water. Since I can steal the sword, I can also steal your head, Zhang Zelan is an example. If you don't listen to the advice, I'll give you a little piece of advice in a few days. I'm a bloodless demon who kills people without seeing blood, believe it or not, whatever you want. I can see the way you pick up the note and look at it. Do you know where I'm standing watching you? If you don't say much, you will lose too much, and there will be a period later! Shape up or ship out! ”

A demon head that kills people without blinking

On the evening of January 10, 892 A.D

After reading the note, Cai Lingxiao straightened up and looked around, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and there was no one. Slowly leaving the base of the wall, he walked to the road, and suddenly saw pedestrians on the road hurrying towards the main hall. Hurriedly chased after him and asked, "What's wrong?" Look at your frightened looks, what's going on? ”

A monk said with sincere fear: "The ethereal master has been assassinated in the main hall, I don't know if it is life or death, hurry up and take a look!" ”
