"That's right, I took over as abbot, so what?" After listening to Zhang Baoer's story, Abbot Hongzhi said quietly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Actually, the murder of the abbot is not difficult to solve, and I can conclude that the murder weapon was the rosary carried by the abbot."

The host of Hongzhi did not speak, and Zhang Baoer continued: "The host of Hongfa has two pairs of prayer beads, one is a white rosary rewarded by His Majesty, this string of prayer beads is used for worship, and it is generally not carried on the body, and the propagation often carries another pair of prayer beads. You assigned Yuan Jue to secretly drop the rosary and replace it with a string of rosary beads made of hen beads. Hen beads are the seeds of a highly toxic plant with a hard shell that is not easily damaged. However, once it is scratched or damaged, it will release a highly toxic odor, and people will be poisoned to death as long as they smell a little. On the night of the murder of the abbot, Yuan Jue released some small insects called the stinging worm near the abbot's meditation room, which came out at night and liked to suck the juice of the chicken beads, and the sharp needle-like mouthparts could easily pierce the hard shell of the chicken beads. The beetle smelled the chicken beads, flew into the meditation room and pierced the chicken beads on Kobo's body, and poisoned the abbot by releasing the poisonous gas in the beads. The punctured hen bead drained the poison gas and turned into an ordinary bead. The cockroach always lives in a male and female pair, and only the male insect is released when Yuanjue kills, and the male worm sucks the juice of the hen bead and flies back to Yuanjue to gather with the female worm. Because the hen beads are produced in Tianzhu, which is extremely rare in the Central Plains, the doctor who performed the autopsy could not identify the toxicity. ”

"Your story is wonderful, but unfortunately it can only be a story, do you have proof?" Abbot Hongzhi calmed his mind and calmed his breath.

"Of course I have proof, and unequivocal evidence!"

Abbot Hongzhi said a Buddha horn and said, "This is impossible! ”

Zhang Bao'er smiled and said, "I'll give you the evidence later!" Actually, I have never understood why you have to go to great lengths to be this abbot, but when I saw this secret passage today, I suddenly realized that you are for this secret passage and secret room. ”

"Not bad." Abbot Hongzhi's voice regained coldness: "Three years ago, the Lord ordered me to take control of the Temple of Mercy and Grace. ”

"Three years ago?" Uncle Hua lost his voice and said, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Abbot Hongzhi stared at Uncle Hua like a fool, shook his head and stopped talking, but turned to Zhang Bao'er: "You can tell me now, how did you know about my removal of the previous Dharma propagation!" ”

"Because you didn't kill Yuan Jue, he happened to be saved by me again, Yuan Jue escaped from death, and repented, so he will naturally confess everything truthfully."

Abbot Hongzhi suddenly realized, and sighed: "This is the will of heaven!" ”

Zhang Bao'er nodded slowly: "A few days ago, I entered the palace to inspect the previous confidential files, and learned that Li Jiancheng, the former prince of Yin, knew that Emperor Taizong had the intention of killing his brother and plotting rebellion, so he hid a large number of treasures near Chang'an as a way back. If I'm not mistaken, what was hidden in this secret room before was the treasure left by the Hidden Prince? ”

Song Ming jumped, shining on the wrinkled old face of Abbot Hongzhi, the original holy aura was gone, leaving only a distorted fanaticism: "According to the order of the lord, I have been hiding in the Temple of Mercy and Grace for all these years, and I have been looking for these treasures, until three years ago, I finally found these treasures. I've been here for three years. Yuan Jue, this beast, does not abide by the rules and seduces women to go to the tower for a tryst, don't I know? But he had a ghost in his heart, and deliberately declared this tower a forbidden place, and no one was allowed to disturb the tower, but he fell into my arms. ”

"Both Jingxiu and Yuan Jue died in your hands?" Uncle Hua couldn't help but speak.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that Jing Xiu was originally sent by the lord to help me, he coveted glory and wanted to betray me to Princess Taiping, this kind of thing that betrays the lord and seeks glory should not live in the world!"

Zhang Bao'er's eyes showed a hint of understanding, her lips moved, she swallowed again, and finally said, "Where is the treasure now?" ”

"It's where it's supposed to be. Abbot Hongzhi's shining eyes have turned blood-red: "If it weren't for your hard work, this would have been its best hiding place, but you will soon have retribution!" ”

"Do it!" Zhang Bao'er suddenly shouted, Jiang Yuqiao stretched out his hand like lightning, and with a pull on the wall, there was a sudden rumbling sound behind Abbot Hongzhi and Uncle Hua.

Abbot Hongzhi unconsciously turned his head to look, but the stone gate that had fallen just now slowly stood up.

This distraction was fleeting, and the opportunity was rare, and Jiang Yuqiao stabbed at Abbot Hongzhi with all his might. In a hurry, he naturally spared no effort, but he didn't expect that this abbot Hongzhi would be able to free his right hand to clamp Jiang Yuqiao's sword blade with his two fingers, and his divine power was amazing, and he refused to relax at all.

Abbot Hongzhi's martial arts are not under Jiang Yuqiao, if Uncle Hua can join forces with Jiang Yuqiao, of course he can take down the host of Hongzhi, but at this time, Uncle Hua is under the control of the host of Hongzhi, and Jiang Yuqiao does not dare to act rashly.

Uncle Hua couldn't move, and all he saw in his eyes was the distorted face of Abbot Hongzhi, which looked like a ghost.

Suddenly, Abbot Hongzhi paused, then slowly let go of his hand, and a bald head drooped heavily.

Uncle Hua got up in embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect this old monk's martial arts to be so high, if I hadn't used the method of moving points to deceive him first, I'm afraid it would not be easy to subdue him." ”

The abbot Hongzhi on the ground had passed out, and Zhang Baoer reached out and probed his nose to make sure that the person was still alive.

"Bao'er, what do we do now?" Jiang Yuqiao asked.

"Let's get out of here first." Zhang Bao'er lifted the gate of Songming Dynasty and walked away, and on the wall illuminated by the light, there was a secret passage, presumably from which the abbot of Hongzhi came. After zigzag along the dark passage, there was a staircase that sloped upward, climbed all the way up, removed the trap on the top, and the light immediately shone in, and there was a meditation room on it.

"No wonder he appeared so suddenly." With a long breath, Zhang Bao'er had a feeling of seeing the light of day again, "It turns out that this secret passage leads directly to the abbot of Hongzhi's room. ”

"Uncle, where are we going now?" Uncle Hua hurriedly asked.

"I've been busy for a few days, you're not tired, I'm still tired, so naturally I'm going back to sleep!" Zhang Bao'er's voice came from afar.

……

The Ci'en Temple in Chang'an City caught fire, and the abbot Hongzhi disappeared after the fire, and it is said that he had been seated in the tower. There is also a rumor that the abbot Hongzhi has profound deeds and complete merits, so Nirvana is in the fire. Emperor Zhongzong issued a decree to posthumously crown the abbot Hongzhi as the great sage Zen master who protects the country, and allocated funds to repair the tower of Ci'en Temple.

It stands to reason that the abbot should be re-elected by the temple, but it is strange that Emperor Zhongzong's holy decree unexpectedly appointed a new chair of the temple of mercy and grace, and the name of the presiding officer is Purun.
