Chapter 681: One person counts short, two counts long

"The poor monk is here to illustrate this. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Huiguang recited the Buddha's name and said.

Li Canghai nodded, and after retreating left and right, he talked to Huiguang.

After listening to Huiguang's words, a trace of loss flashed in Li Canghai's eyes.

"Donor, what's wrong with you?" Huiguang saw that his expression was a little abnormal, and asked.

Li Canghai sighed and said, "It's nothing, this time there is Master Lao." ”

"Amitabha, why should the donor and the monk be polite? If it weren't for the invitation of the donor, why would the little monk be able to meet a group of masters? This time, the little monk benefited a lot from preaching with a group of masters, thanks to the grace of the benefactor. "Huiguang is in ten ways.

Li Canghai said half-jokingly: "Master, the four major monks are empty, what you said is a bit flattering, so in terms of Buddhism, but it is inferior!" ”

Unexpectedly, Huiguang became serious, he recited the Buddha's name, and said seriously: "What the donor said is very true, it is the little monk who looks good." The little monk has studied Zen for 18 years, but he is not as enlightened as the benefactor, and the little monk is ashamed! ”

When these words were said, Li Canghai felt a little embarrassed.

He hurriedly grinned and said, "My nonsense, the master should not take it seriously." I'm just a layman, I can't understand the Tao, and I can't achieve great things. Even if there is a way, it is nonsense, and I hope that the master will not blame. ”

Huiguang shook his head and said: "Master Li Shi is modest, from the perspective of the little monk, Master Li Shi's wisdom is deep-rooted, and he has the heart of a bodhisattva, and his future achievements will have a bright future." ”

Li Canghai smiled disapprovingly and said, "Fame and fortune, but after a while, Canghai doesn't care." Someone who cares is only the truth. ”

As he spoke, a carrier pigeon suddenly flew down from the sky.

The pigeon flapped its wings and landed on a wooden frame in the courtyard.

"Master, please come in and serve tea, I'll come when I go." Li Canghai glanced at the carrier pigeon and said to Huiguang.

"The donor, please take it, the little monk is also going back to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, so I will leave." Huiguang said.

"Since this is the case, then Canghai will no longer stay, I hope that the master can linger in the Temple of Mercy and Grace for a few more days, and when Canghai solves his own affairs, he will definitely go to make tea and discuss with the master." Li Canghai said.

"The little monk welcomes the donor at any time." Huiguang clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, then turned around and left Dali Temple.

As soon as Huiguang walked to the door, he met Di Qing jumping up.

"Huh, Master Huiguang? How did you end up here? Di Qing asked in surprise.

"It turned out to be Miss Di, the little monk came to do something for Li Shizhu, and now that the matter has been completed, the little monk is about to return to the Great Ci'en Temple." Huiguang saluted slightly.

Di Qing sighed and said, "It's rare for the master to come once, why do you have to be in such a hurry?" I know that there is a restaurant in Chang'an City, and the vegetarian food in it is very delicious, so why don't I ask Canghai to invite you to eat! ”

"Thank you Miss Di for your kindness, the little monk came to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple this time, and there are still important things to do, so I really can't spare time. If the girl goes to the White Horse Temple next time, the little monk will definitely entertain the girl with a good vegetarian fast. Huiguang said.

Di Qing brushed her hair, blinked her eyes a few times, and sighed: "Okay, since that's the case, then I won't be able to make it difficult, the master walks slowly." ”

"Amitabha, thank you, Miss Di." Huiguang saluted Di Qing and left Dali Temple directly.

After sending Huiguang away, Di Qing came to the Dali temple in a hurry.

"Canghai, what are you doing?" Di Qing saw Li Canghai take out a note from the thin bamboo tied to the pigeon's legs, and asked curiously.

Li Canghai read the note, then put it away, and said, "It's nothing, by the way, why are you here?" ”

Di Qing grinned and said, "I don't worry about you, so I'm here to see if there's anything that can help you." ”

"How did you do that?" Li Canghai asked.

"Don't worry! Ning Xiang has been sent into the palace by me, and the concubine Niangniang loves Ning Xiang very much, and is watching her perform shadow puppet plays! Di Qing said with a grin.

"Did she read the letter I gave Ning Xiang?"

"Before entering the palace, I gave her the letter, and I asked her in front of the palace gate, and she said that she had written down everything that was said in the letter." Di Qing blinked, and suddenly asked, "Canghai, can you tell me, what are you thinking?" ”

Li Canghai smiled and said, "What idea can I make, a simple-minded person like me would fight someone else's idea?" ”

"Cut, I despise you!" Saying that, Di Qing made a contemptuous gesture to Li Canghai. "By the way, Canghai, why is Master Huiguang here?"

Li Canghai walked to the side of the stone bench and sat down, and said: "Master Huiguang has been in Chang'an for more than half a month, and I also met the master in Dali Temple last time when I investigated Wang Bao's matter. This time, I encountered some confusion, so I asked the master to come and answer my questions. ”

"I see. By the way, what happened to the case in the morning? Compared to Huiguang, Di Qing seems to be more interested in murder.

At the mention of that murder, Li Canghai's brows suddenly furrowed.

"What's wrong, Canghai? Looking at your sad face, could it be that there is still a murder case that can hardly get you? Di Qing asked in surprise.

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "In the murders I have encountered in the past, the murderers have all killed people for various reasons, such as Lu Zhongtong's hatred, Lingji's jealousy, and Yu Chengen's revenge. Unless the murderer suddenly rises up and kills people randomly, there will be a reason for the killing. But this case made me unable to figure it out. ”

"What's not to figure out? Tell me, maybe I can't figure it out, I can think of it! Don't forget, I'm smart! Di Qing laughed playfully.

Li Canghai thought about it and felt that there was some truth, as the saying goes, one person is short, and two people are long.

Perhaps, Di Qing can really see the key.

Li Canghai nodded, and described the entire case to Di Qing.

After hearing this, Di Qing's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"You said the old man killed his whole family?" Di Qing asked, covering her mouth.

"That's the weirdness. As far as I know, this old white man has always been a well-behaved person, and his family is very harmonious, but he killed his own family, which is really incomprehensible. Li Canghai touched his chin and pondered.

"Poor, what a poor family!" Di Qing sighed a few times and said, "According to what you said, since there is no reason, could it be caused by a sudden madness?" ”

"Judging from the situation on the scene, it is indeed a sudden madness. But why he went crazy is puzzling, and in addition to that, there is a point that is very strange. The head of the fang, who lives near Bai's house, only heard the sound of tables and chairs falling in the middle of the night, but did not hear any shouting, which is not at all reasonable. Li Canghai groaned.

"Well, that's a bit weird. Judging from the situation you described, the old white man's behavior seems to have lost his mind, like that of a beast of prey! Di Qing propped her chin and frowned. (To be continued.) )
