Chapter 212: Buddha Enlightenment
Killing people for a Buddha bead, although it is incredible, but there is also a monk who can be suspicious, the Wuda monk who competed with the monk Wutong for the position of abbot.
Although the situation of Xiangshan Temple is not very optimistic now, there are still a lot of good fields under the name of Xiangshan Temple, if the monk Wutong is killed, then Wuda and have not yet become the abbot of this Xiangshan Temple.
For this reason, Su Wuming decided to meet the monk Wuda.
The residence of the monk Wuda is very remote, incompatible with the entire Xiangshan Temple, as if the entire Xiangshan Temple has abandoned him.
There were only one or two dead trees in the small courtyard, and the dead trees were bare, and even the leaves were gone, and a cold wind blew, and it was still half a life of desolation.
In the cold wind, a monk sat on the stone steps in front of the door, the monk's face was thin, his eyebrows were white and long, at this time the monk was closing his eyes and concentrating, only after the footsteps of Su Wuming and others were near, he opened his eyes slightly, his eyes were very clear, as if he was left from the sky.
Monk Wuda seems to have known the identity of Su Wuming and others, after a slight bow, please Su Wuming and others to sit down in front, there is a stone bench in front, which can sit five or six people, which is usually used by Wuda monks to teach the scriptures to their disciples.
Su Wuming and the others didn't shirk it, and sat down directly, and then, Su Wuming smiled indifferently: "Do you know who we are?" ”
Monk Wuda also smiled indifferently: "My disciples have told me about the affairs of Xiangshan Temple, and the poor monk of Master Su has also heard a little, so the poor monk has been waiting for Master Su here." ”
"So, you know you're suspicious?"
Monk Wuda smiled and nodded: "When the master died, I competed with the junior brother Wutong for the position of abbot, but the poor monk's understanding is not as high as the junior brother, and he has fallen into success, and now the junior brother has been killed, and Lord Su suspects that it is a matter of time before the poor monk is on the head." ”
Su Wuming smiled, in fact, if it weren't for the disciple of the Wutong monk, he was afraid that he would never have known that there was such a Wuda monk in Xiangshan Temple.
"Now that you know, do you have a defense?"
Monk Wuda shook his head: "There is no need to justify, poor monks can't kill anyone." ”
"Oh, why is that?"
Monk Wuda pointed to his legs and said, "Since the abbot's position was taken away by the junior brother, the poor monk's legs have been abolished. ”
"Scrapped?" Everyone was very surprised, they really couldn't believe that the legs of the monk in front of them were useless, was what he said true?
None of these people around Su Wuming understand medicine, and it is naturally difficult to prove whether the legs of the monk are wasted, but if you want to know whether the legs of the monk are really wasted, it is not that there is no way, there are many acupoints on the legs, and there are many acupoints that will react as long as you touch the legs, if the legs of the monk are really wasted, then Su Wuming knocks his acupoints a few times, and his legs should not move.
"This official is solving the case, and many things can't be based on just one side, I wonder if you are willing to let this official test it?"
Monk Wuda pulled his legs out from under his body, and then let Su Wuming tempt, Su Wuming stepped forward and knocked on a few acupoints, Monk Wuda's legs did not react, Su Wuming was very confident in his temptation, seeing this, he had to sigh and said, "How can your legs be crippled?" ”
There was no trace of regret on the face of the monk Wuda, only a faint smile, and said: "I am ashamed to say that after failing to compete with my junior brother for the position of abbot, I practiced penance in this place, and sat for half a year, but after half a year, it became like this. ”
Su Wuming didn't like the words of the Wuda monk, because he looked down on these monks' so-called four empty and temperamentless deeds, but he didn't want to say much else about his personal pursuit.
Now that the Wuda monk has lost his legs, he naturally can't kill the abbot of Wutong, since this is the case, Su Wuming has to ask another question.
"To tell you the truth, the Buddha beads in your temple are gone!"
Hearing Su Wuming say this, Monk Wuda's face was suddenly shocked, and he asked in a tone that couldn't believe it: "What, the Buddha beads of my Xiangshan Temple are missing?" ”
In the end, life in the world cannot be empty, and there is no concern.
Su Wuming smiled secretly, and then told him about the Buddha beads, and after finishing speaking, he asked, "Why is this Buddha bead so precious?" ”
Wuda monk sighed, the two of them said for so long, he sighed for the first time, after sighing, then said: "I don't hide it, the Buddha beads are not very precious, but it is an ordinary bead hanging around the neck of the founding ancestor of Xiangshan Temple, but this bead is the size of an egg, and there is no flaw in the whole body. I said a Buddhist saying to several of our brothers and sisters, we want to participate in enlightenment, and if we are enlightened, we will be able to find the Buddha beads and inherit the position of abbot. ”
"That's all?" Su Wuming couldn't believe it, it was just a very ordinary bead, if outsiders got it, it wouldn't be able to sell it for a lot of money, so why kill people for this.
Could it be that the murderer is still the people in the Xiangshan Temple, but even if the people in the Xiangshan Temple get the Buddha beads, they don't dare to take them out.
At this time, the monk shook his head: "Naturally it will not be so simple, in order to promote the Buddhism of our temple, in the past few decades, the Buddha beads have been preached by us, in the eyes of those Buddhists, the Buddha beads contain infinite power, can allow them to achieve any wish, want to kill the murderer, it is for this." ”
The world is so ignorant, Su Wuming sighed lightly, and then took people away, since the monk Wuda is not a murderer, then they can only look for the real murderer.
Since the murderer was able to do something to kill people for the Buddha beads, he must have heard the rumors of the Buddha beads, so after he got the Buddha beads, he had to make some wishes, and people like the murderer, his wishes are only vulgar and unbearable.
And the unbearable wish of the world, an ordinary Buddha bead naturally cannot be realized, so when the murderer finds out that the Buddha bead does not bring him strength, what will he do?
The theft of the Buddha beads in Xiangshan Temple was tightly sealed by Su Wuming, and after going down the mountain, Su Wuming quietly found a few officials, and asked them to pretend to be merchants who bought jewelry, and walked around the entire Qiantang County.
After sending out those officials, everyone only needs to stay at home and wait for the news, this murder case has passed several days from the chaos at the beginning to the elimination of various suspects, and the murderer should also find that the Buddha beads are very ordinary, and the county government has not heard any news that suspects that the murderer is another person, and the murderer should feel very relieved to sell the Buddha beads, maybe it is what he thinks at this time.
At noon the day after the official was dispatched, news came from the county government that the official had caught a very suspicious person, who was selling Buddhist beads to people, and happened to be caught by the official pretending to be a merchant.
It was a very thin young man, probably in his twenties, very thin, with yellowish hair, giving people the impression that he was malnourished, and after he was arrested, he did not say a word, just bowed his head and said nothing.
After Su Wuming and the others came to the county office, they asked Qian Shengdao: "That bead can be identified by the monks of Xiangshan Temple?" ”
"When I returned to Lord Su's words, I have already identified that it is the lost Buddha beads in Xiangshan Temple, and this person is the person who sells Buddha beads on the street."
At this time, Qian Sheng was much smarter, although the man in front of him was a person selling Buddhist beads, but he didn't say that he was a murderer, because he felt that Su Wuming didn't like to say that others were murderers without evidence.
And that's exactly what happened.
Su Wuming glanced at the man and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The man's eyes were dim at this time, he glanced at Su Wuming, and said in a very deep voice: "Du Yu." ”
Su Wuming nodded: "This Buddha bead is the Buddha bead of Xiangshan Temple, and it was lost when the abbot of Wutong of Xiangshan Temple was killed, and now that the Buddha bead is in your hands, can you admit to killing?" ”
After the word murder came out of Su Wuming's mouth, Du Yu's expression suddenly changed, thinking that although he was lifeless, killing was a serious matter for anyone, and he was shocked physically and mentally, and it was inevitable.
It's just that at this time, where can he argue?
Silence, long silence.
And after a long silence, Du Yu nodded: "Abbot Wutong was killed by me, I ...... I didn't mean to. ”
To kill is to kill, whether intentionally or not, he kills people and is punished by law.
Now, the murder case in Xiangshan Temple is finally going to be solved, but it has not been solved, and the conclusion of a case requires motives and murder processes, which must be recorded, otherwise it is not in accordance with the rules to simply say who the murderer is, and it will be reported to the Ministry of Officials, and the people of the Ministry of Officials will not pass the approval.
Su Wuming didn't pay attention to what Du Yu said that it was not intentional killing, he just said very coldly: "Tell me about the events at that time, including your motive for killing." ”
Du Yu opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he sighed, and did not say what he wanted to say without motive, he was silent for a while, and said, "I ...... I heard that the Buddha beads of Xiangshan Temple are very effective, so I thought that I could steal them, and that day after I went to Xiangshan Temple, I secretly entered the room of the abbot of Wutong, but when I was looking for the beads, the abbot of Wutong came back, and I was anxious, so I hid in the wardrobe of the abbot of Wutong. ”
Du Yu paused when he said this, thinking that the words behind him were really indecent, so he was a little hesitant to say what happened at that time.
