Chapter 626: The Murder of the Buddha Gate

"Canghai, what the hell is going on?" Di Qing asked in disbelief. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Canghai didn't speak, his cold eyes swept over everyone in the hall.

In this hall, in addition to a group of monks, it is the people brought by Li Canghai.

"Everybody's back where they were before the crime!" Li Canghai said indifferently.

Everyone looked dazed, but they all acted according to Li Canghai's orders and stood back in the direction they had been standing in.

Li Canghai glanced at everyone, and his thoughts returned to the time of the crime.

At that time, the Daxiong Treasure Hall suddenly fell into darkness, and at that moment, Li Canghai suddenly caught a glimpse of a flash of light.

Immediately afterwards, Li Canghai only felt a figure flash in front of him, and then there was a muffled snort, and when the bright light outside came, Qi Xin had already been stabbed in the abdomen.

It was obvious that someone was assassinating him, and if it weren't for the concerted efforts to block the knife for him, he would be lying here.

And the whole process is just a blink of an eye.

It can be seen from this that the murderer must be in this majestic treasure hall.

He sent the people back to where they were standing to see who could commit murder at such a short distance.

Twenty monks were located on either side of the main hall, and they were far away and were unlikely to commit murder.

And Qixin, Fear of Fame, and the old host are standing behind him on the right, and they are a few feet away, and it seems unlikely that they will commit murder.

Qi Xin and Fear Ming saved his life several times, and they would not assassinate him.

The old man was old, and it was extremely difficult to walk, let alone cross a distance of several feet to commit murder.

The rest of Di Qing, Lu Jitong is even more unlikely to make a move on him.

The murderer, like a gust of wind, disappeared in an instant after committing the murder.

Thinking of the wind, Li Canghai suddenly remembered that at the moment when the treasure hall was dark, a strong gust of wind blew out the lantern in front of the Buddha.

He hurriedly looked at the Everbright Lantern, which was located around the lotus platform, and there were seven of them.

And within a radius of the ever-bright lamp, no one is standing.

Even Li Canghai, who is closest to the Everbright Lantern, is outside Zhangxu, and being able to blow out the Everbright Lantern with a strong wind at this distance is enough to show that the murderer has extremely profound martial arts.

"Master host, dare to ask the monks of your temple if they can practice martial arts?" Li Canghai asked.

The old host shook his head sadly, and said in an old voice: "Amitabha, back to the prince, this temple follows the example of Shaolin in the Celestial Empire, pays attention to the integration of Zen and martial arts, and indeed has martial arts, but the number of warrior monks is very small. ”

"All of these monks practice martial arts?" Li Canghai pointed with his chin at the monks in the main hall.

The old host shook his head and said: "Today's uncovered conference, in order to prevent accidents, all the warrior monks are patrolling the temple, and the monks in the hall do not know martial arts. ”

"Will there be monks who know martial arts before entering the temple, but they don't tell you?" Di Qing interjected.

The old host was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "This ...... But I don't know. ”

Li Canghai's brows suddenly furrowed, judging from the murderer's murderous methods, the murderer must be a person with superior martial arts, and his grasp of the timing is also extremely accurate.

These people in the main hall who could not have committed murder are also suspected again.

And what puzzled Li Canghai the most was how the murderer grasped the timing so accurately?

Judging from the murderer's method of committing the murder, it is not difficult to see that the murderer has been waiting for the moment when the hall falls into darkness.

In other words, it was a well-planned assassination.

Li Canghai asked everyone to stay in the palace, and he came to the palace gate.

The hall has three doors, plus a few windows, all of which are topped with bamboo curtains.

These are not abnormal, but all the bamboo curtains fall at the same time, which is a bit unbelievable.

Li Canghai looked at the bamboo curtains and fell into deep thought.

None of these bamboo curtains were tied, as if they were just randomly placed on top of the doors and windows.

Li Canghai checked the bamboo curtains, and he found that all the doors and windows were inlaid with a thumb-sized piece of iron in the middle.

"Strange, how can this bamboo curtain be inlaid with iron?" Li Canghai clasped his hands to his chest, and after talking to himself for a while, he immediately ordered someone to bring a ladder, and then climbed to the door and window to check.

A moment later, on the horizontal axis of the bamboo curtain hanging from the door and window, he found a small piece of iron.

After Li Canghai thought about it, he immediately rolled up the bamboo curtain, and found that when the bamboo curtain was rolled up, the small piece of iron was just able to support the entire bamboo curtain on the horizontal axis.

"I remember that it was after the bell rang that all the bamboo curtains fell. Bells, pieces of iron, bamboo curtains, ....... Li Canghai lowered his head and pondered.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the whole person jumped up violently.

"I see! The murderer used this method to lower all the bamboo curtains. In this way, the murderer's mind is really meticulous! Li Canghai squinted his eyes and said to himself.

At this moment, Lu Jitong hurriedly ran into the main hall.

He glanced at everyone, then walked towards Li Canghai, and then muttered in his ear.

After Li Canghai listened, his face instantly became solemn, and after letting everyone wait in the hall and not allowing anyone to leave, Li Canghai and Lu Jitong turned around and left the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

In a vegetable patch near the release pond in the backyard, several soldiers stood solemnly, as if they were guarding something, and when they saw Li Canghai coming, they saluted one after another.

Li Canghai walked straight towards the place where the soldiers were guarding, and when he came to the clearing, Li Canghai saw a headless corpse.

"Brother Lu, how did you find this corpse?" Li Canghai frowned and asked.

"It wasn't us who found the body, it was the two monks." Lu Jitong pointed to the two trembling monks not far away and said.

Li Canghai glanced at the trembling monks, ordered someone to bring them over, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

One of the young monks said tremblingly: "Back to the prince, every time there is a shady meeting, the temple will make a meal to support the donors, this time the two little monks came to pick cold leaf vegetables, and they didn't want to dig up a corpse." ”

"My lord, how could someone bury the body in the temple after committing the murder?" Lu Jitong said puzzled.

Li Canghai didn't speak, but directly squatted down and carefully examined the corpse.

"The deceased was a male, short in stature, with wrinkled skin, and was past his age. The time of death should have been more than three days, and there were no other injuries on the body, and it seems that he was beheaded with a sharp weapon. Li Canghai said.

"Could it be that the person who came to the incense offended the monks in this temple and was killed by the monks in this temple?" Lu Jitong guessed.

When the two monks heard this, they hurriedly shook their heads and said, "This is impossible! The monks in the temple are all dedicated to the Buddha, and have never had conflicts with pilgrims, and will never be done by people in the temple. ”

Li Canghai picked up the deceased's right hand, looked at it carefully, and suddenly said, "The deceased is a monk, and he is an old monk. (To be continued.) )
