Chapter 553: Falling into the Tower

"That's not right. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhang Baoer shook her head regretfully, "This package is not your daughter's." ”

"What did you say?!" The middle-aged woman jumped up and returned to her original menacing appearance, "How can I admit my mistake in my package?" ”

"But there was no money or clothes in the package, only some stones."

"How is that possible?" The woman's eyes widened, and she almost swallowed Zhang Bao'er in one gulp.

"Don't you believe it? Then make a bet. If I am wrong, I will pay you a hundred taels of silver; If he was right, it had nothing to do with the monk, so he let him go. ”

Grabbing the package, the woman looked around stupidly, and then eagerly opened it. With an exclamation, the whole person stayed on the spot, and it was indeed not soft clothes, but a few stones, as said before.

There was an uproar all around, and all eyes were cast on Zhang Baoer.

Zhang Bao'er smiled slightly, ignored the woman who was still in a daze, clapped her hands, and said to Purun: "It's okay, you can go." ”

The woman opened her mouth and was stunned for a long time, and when she came to her senses, the three of them had already gone far away, and they couldn't even see their backs.

Zhang Bao'er didn't speak, just quietly looked at Purun who was eating.

Purun first folded his hands and recited an unknown scripture, with a solemn and solemn expression.

Uncle Hua had already picked up the chopsticks, and when he saw him like this, he had to put the chopsticks down.

Just when Uncle Hua was at a loss, Purun had already picked up the bowl with lightning speed, and the bowl was empty in an instant.

Uncle Hua hadn't eaten a bowl of rice for a few bites, and he had already added it three times, and it was really a storm that was not enough to describe its speed, and it was not enough to describe its state of gobbling up, and Uncle Hua couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Finally, after five bowls, Purun put down the dishes and chopsticks, lowered his eyebrows, and returned to his previous appearance.

After opening his mouth, Uncle Hua blurted out: "What a lot of food!" ”

"The reincarnation of grains, the transformation of all things, is useless, and there is conterrence."

“…… What the? ”

couldn't understand a word, Uncle Hua couldn't help but be a little stupid, and Zhang Baoer on the side laughed.

"I said Purun, don't be busy overspending the rice in your belly. Hey, what does it feel like to elope with someone? ”

Raising his eyes, Purun replied earnestly and sincerely: "I am for myself, and she is for her." Let her annoy me, I don't annoy her. ”

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be quite a woman, every time a woman pesters you!"

Purun clasped his hands together and couldn't tell.

Uncle Hua looked at Purun a little curiously: "Why didn't you justify?" ”

"It is useless to argue, it is better not to argue."

"Purun, how did you get entangled by that woman?" Zhang Baoer asked.

"The host asked me to go out of the temple and go to the bridge, and I saw a girl running in a panic with a blue cloth package, and I couldn't help but say that I would hand over the package to me, saying that I would take care of it for a moment and go back, but I waited for a long time, and the woman didn't go back, but waited for the middle-aged woman."

Purun suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Zhang Bao'er, "Donor, how do you know that there are stones in that package?" ”

"Guess."

"What?" Pu Run's eyes widened: "Dare to bet with people if you speculate randomly?" ”

"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Baoer said lazily, "If you lose, you won't die." ”

"Uh......" Purun was speechless.

Zhang Bao'er glanced at Purun and said with a smile: "Of course it's not a groundless guess, the eloping woman handed over the package to a passer-by she didn't know, obviously pulling people to the top of the tank, so the suspicious array delayed time, how could she really put the fine soft in it?" Seeing that there is no other debris at the bridgehead, only a pebble, I am replaced, and I am afraid that in a hurry, I am afraid that there are only some stones to fill. ”

Pu Run was about to say something, when a little novice with a flustered look suddenly rushed in: "Senior brother, it's not good, something happened in the temple!" ”

Zhang Bao'er frowned, turned to Uncle Hua and said, "It seems that we are going to the Temple of Mercy and Grace again!" ”

……

The seven-story pagoda, the tallest building in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, towers into the sky, and just below the tower, lies a corpse. He was wearing a gray monk's robe, and his bald head was full of blood and brains, and he was so broken that he couldn't see his face. The monks gathered around, looking stunned.

A howl suddenly rang out from the crowd from a middle-aged monk. Stumbled over, hid his face and cried bitterly: "First seat! First! How did you stumble and fall off this pagoda?! ”

Looking at the fat-headed and big-eared monk, Zhang Baoer couldn't help but shake his head.

This monk Zhang Baoer is recognized, when he and Hou Jie first came to Chang'an, they wanted to stay in Ci'en Temple, but the residence was already full. At that time, Zhang Baoer used silver to open the way, and Yuan Jue made it convenient for them. Later, Zhang Baoer gave Yuan Jue several times of silver before Hou Jie continued to live in Ci'en Temple. After many years, I didn't expect Zhang Baoer to see Yuan Jue again today.

Zhang Bao'er looked back, but saw that Purun was already sitting cross-legged, reciting scriptures for the dead monk. There was no sadness or sorrow on his face, but it was calm and peaceful, and the sun shone on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, competing for a sense of sacredness.

Zhang Bao'er asked the little novice beside him, "Who is the person who fell off the tower?" ”

"The one who died was the first pure cultivation master in the temple, and the one who cried was his eldest disciple, the monk Yuan Jue."

Jingxiu is Yuan Jue's master, Zhang Bao'er has heard Yuan Jue say it, but he has never seen it.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Baoer walked over silently, leaned over to inspect the corpse on the ground, and looked focused.

Yuan Jue's eyes were blurred with tears, and when he suddenly saw Zhang Bao'er, he couldn't help but be stunned: "It's you?" ”

Yuan Jue obviously recognized Zhang Bao'er.

"It's me, Master Yuanjue, we're meeting again!" Zhang Bao'er nodded and asked, "How did Master Yuanjue know that he had fallen into the tower?" ”

"Ah......" Yuan Jue was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect such a question, "This ...... This, Master and others were under the tower, of course, they fell to their deaths. ”

"Really?" Zhang Baoer twisted a handful of blood-soaked soil on the ground: "If you fall from a height, look at the injuries on your head, there should be a lot of bleeding; However, there were only slight traces of blood on the ground, and the location was on the side of the head injury, and there was no sign of splashing. In addition, it is this wound, from the parietal bone to the posterior occipital, which is a long dehiscence. It was obviously a blunt force injury, and it was definitely not a normal fall. ”

Straightening up, Zhang Bao'er put his hands behind his back, stared at Yuan Jue, and said lightly: "Master Yuan Jue, he didn't fall off the tower, but was hit in the back of the head and moved here." ”

Yuan Jue opened his mouth and forgot to close it, and said, "That...... Who killed him? ”

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion behind Zhang Bao'er, the monks all stood with their hands down, and an old monk with extraordinary bearing appeared behind Zhang Bao'er.

Purun also stood up at this moment and respectfully saluted the old monk: "Presidence! ”

The last time she handled the case, Zhang Baoer saw Hongzhi as the host, but when she saw him again, she felt different from the last time. Although the eyebrows of the host Hongzhi are gray and the backbone is thin, his eyes are clear, and he is by no means like the cloudy and godless of ordinary old people, but the light is flashing, and there seems to be great wisdom hidden in it.
