Chen Shi was about to speak, when a hoarse Buddha suddenly sounded in his ear: "Amitabha." ”

An old monk quietly appeared, the monk was thin and small, his face was dry, but his eyes were full of life, and they were radiant and did not dare to look at him.

The person who came was the abbot of the Dharma, and he turned his gaze to Chen Shi: "Chen Mansion Yin is coming, and he should have greeted him, but there were gangsters in the temple yesterday, and some mundane affairs should be dealt with first." ”

"Oh?" Chen Shi asked knowingly, "Is there a villain entering the temple?" What have you lost? ”

Abbot Hongfa glanced at Chen Shi and said calmly: "No." But the gangsters killed the monks in the temple. ”

"Yes, is that the Master of Yuanjue?" Li Tao put on a sad look: "It's a pity! Pity! ”

"Life is death, death is life, Yuan Jue diligently cultivates the Dharma, and after Nirvana, he must have attained bliss, and it is not a pity." The abbot lowered his eyes and clasped his palms together, saying, "The Buddhists originally looked at life and death lightly. ”

"And what about the master's life and death for himself?" Li Tao's words concealed a sharp edge, and he was pressing forward step by step.

The abbot of the Dharma said indifferently: "Like the rise of the sun, like the fall of the moon, like the journey of water, like the passing of the wind." ”

"A good sun rises and the moon falls, and the wind passes away," Li Tao said, "but I don't know the word persistence, what is the explanation?" ”

Hearing Li Tao's aggressive tone, Chen Shi couldn't help but worry.

Looking at the abbot again, a smile appeared on his face: "If the donor is like this, it can be called persistence." ”

Haha laughed, Li Tao turned his head to the outside of the temple, and Chen Shi also said goodbye.

The abbot stood in place, his eyes slightly closed. The expression is indifferent, and it looks like a statue from a distance.

"King of the County, why are we leaving?" Li Bai couldn't help but ask.

Li Tao gave him a blank look: "Do you have a way to sneak into the tower under the nose of that old monk?" ”

"What...... Still going up the tower?! Li Bai was a little puzzled.

"Nature."

"Kepurun has seen it layer by layer. There's nothing special about it. ”

"If there is no speciality, how can we explain the fact that the two monks died one after another?"

"I'm afraid that it will be useless again......"

"Not this time." Li Tao's eyes were blazing, and his tone was calm: "Because I already know what Yuan Jue saw that day." If this is true, perhaps we will find out tonight. ”

"Do you need me to go? Maybe I can help. Chen Shi looked eager to try.

Li Tao glanced at Chen Shi and said lightly: "You'd better not come forward, this matter needs to be done in secret." Besides. If there are too many people, they will not take care of them, but they will easily become troublesome. ”

……

Li Tao had just returned home. There was someone waiting for him early.

"King Lantian, you're back. I've been waiting for you for a long time! "It was the first head-catcher thunderstorm of the Criminal Department who spoke.

"Oh, it turned out to be the head of the thunder catcher, what's wrong. What's wrong? Li Tao asked.

"Lantian King. That is true. Since escorting Zhao Yanshan back to Beijing, the master has been in a slump, and I am very worried in my eyes. ”

"Gu Zhen is a first-time offender at a young age, and the court has shown him extrajudicial kindness, and he has been punished lightly, sentenced to a hundred rods, and sent to Anxi to charge the army for ten years, isn't Mr. Gu still dissatisfied with this result?"

Lei Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no." Master and Zai Xia are grateful for the great kindness of King Lantian! ”

"Then you are ......"

"At noon today, the imperial court sentenced Zhao Yanshan to the punishment of sword and axe for self-theft and homicide. I'm afraid that Master won't be able to think about it when he arrives. So I want to invite Lantian Wang ......"

Li Tao nodded: "I understand, Lei Zhutou, I am obligated to do this!" ”

"I don't thank you for my kindness, I have a love to make up for it, and I will say goodbye!" Lei Yu gave Li Tao a deep salute.

……

Noon is approaching, and the place where the West Market Supervisor is beheaded is crowded with onlookers.

Gu Yuntian arranged his mother and Zhao Yanshan's family, and came to the execution ground early with two pots of good wine.

When the prisoners were in place, Gu Yuntian stepped forward, tearfully handed Zhao Yanshan a pot of wine, and said, "Big brother, do you blame the younger brother?" ”

Zhao Yanshan also smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes: "How can I blame you? If you want to blame, you can only blame the eldest brother himself, you can come to see me off today. I've known enough, come, let's drink."

In an instant, the two of them ran out of wine in the pot, and Gu Yuntian said solemnly: "Big brother, do you remember the oath that our brothers took when they worshipped that day?" ”

"Remember" Zhao Yanshan said sadly: "But the eldest brother is just one step ahead of you, you don't have to take it seriously."

Gu Yuntian said sadly: "Big brother, aren't you lonely on Huangquan Road alone, and my little brother is willing to walk with you."

With that, Gu Yuntian suddenly pulled out the treasure knife on his waist and wiped it towards his stomach.

With a "bang", Gu Yuntian's knife was knocked to the ground, and then he was knocked unconscious by a blow to the back of the head.

Watching Pei Yue carry Gu Yuntian away, Li Tao said to Zhao Yanshan: "Although you are a dying person, it can be regarded as a good blessing!" ”

With that, Li Tao turned around and left.

Zhao Yanshan looked up to the sky and said with a sad smile: "Hahaha...... God really treats me Zhao well, let me have this friend in my life! Brother Xian, the eldest brother has taken the first step......"

……

There were four monks walking on a path next to Tianci Temple, in fact, there was only one true monk, that was Purun at the front, and the other three followed behind him, with monk robes and hats, talking about something.

Unaccustomed to pulling the placket, Li Bai complained in a low voice, "You actually want to dress up like this!" ”

"You can't even stand this little bit of grievance, do you?" Li Tao looked at his nose and nose and heart, his face was solemn, he really looked like a Buddhist disciple, but his mouth was not idle.

"Amitabha, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha are the Three Jewels. The robe is on the body, and the movement is protected by the god Dingjia, you are blessed! ”

Without asking, it is the genuine monk Purun who said this.

Li Bai opened his mouth, remembering that his verbal skills really couldn't fight the two people in front of him, not to mention the current situation, it was clear that the two of them were a match, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Glancing at Li Bai's deflated appearance, Pei Yue couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

It was getting late, the monastic life was rigid, and most of the monks had rested. The three of them walked all the way and did not encounter anything.

As soon as I arrived at the tower, someone suddenly shouted, "Stop! ”

It was a tall monk, Li Bai couldn't help but hold the scabbard in the monk's robe, but Li Tao held his hand for the first time.

"Amitabha, is it filial piety?"

"Ah, it turned out to be Senior Brother Purun."

The monk named Xiaoda has a Qinzhou accent, a burly figure, and a very honest appearance. As soon as he saw Purun, he hurriedly clasped his palms and saluted: "It's so late, senior brother still hasn't rested?" ”

"Not busy. What are you doing here? ”

"The temple supervisor said, there are bad people in the temple recently, everyone should be careful, so I want to come here to guard the tower, if I see the living, I will ring the bell to report the news."

As he spoke, he gently shook the copper bell in his hand, but was held down by one hand.

"Senior brother has worked hard, why don't I do it for you." Li Tao, who was wearing a monk's robe, was full of smiles and was very kind.

"This ...... What's so embarrassing about that? Xiaoda looked at the other party while refusing to leave: "However, which senior brother are you in?" How do I ......" (to be continued......)
