Looking up from the foot of Mt. Zishan, there are endless bluestone steps with no end on top of dense people.

Li Yan frowned, he originally planned to use light skills to go all the way up, but now it seems that he can only climb up honestly.

"Wait for me!"

As soon as he turned around, he was a little surprised when he looked at Kamiki Bangxiang's smiling eyes: "How do you know I'm here?" ”

"I can't rest assured of you, let the steamed buns follow secretly, I heard that you are going to the Zishan Temple to investigate the situation, so I followed." This time the situation is very unbelievable, Mu Bangxiang is afraid that Li Yan is in danger.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yan's expression became rare and serious: "The reason why I asked you to follow before was to ensure your safety, but this time is different, I don't know the bottom of my heart at all." ”

"I'm your confidence, and besides, I don't need your protection." Mu Bangxiang enjoys the feeling of being cared for, but she also wants to protect Li Yan.

Needless to say, Li Yan immediately felt her heart.

Li Yan took her hand and walked towards the top of Zishan step by step.

Along the way, Mu Bangxiang looked east and west, as if he was looking for something.

"Looking for a little monk?" Li Yan couldn't help but ask.

Mu Bangxiang nodded: "I think that little guy must know something, so I want to ask him." ”

"That kid has a very tight mouth, and even if he knows that he won't say anything, I don't think you should have too much hope." Thinking of the arrogant little monk that day, Li Yan still feels a headache.

Unlike Li Yan, Mu Bangxiang thought that the little monk was very easy to talk to.

An hour later, the two of them finally crowded up with the people who were praying for Buddha.

The temple courtyard was full of people, and there was not even a place to put their feet.

Mu Bangxiang asked Li Yan to inquire about the situation first, and she went to find the little monk.

After looking around, I finally saw him at the place of the prayer wheel.

Mu Bangxiang's eyes widened: "Little monk, what's wrong with you?" ”

It was really strange, the little monk's soul was much lighter than the last time, and she looked very haggard, and she immediately had a bad premonition in her heart.

The little monk was still chanting, but he was still very unhappy after being interrupted, and he rarely showed a smile when he saw Mu Bangxiang coming.

"The vegetarian roast duck roll you made last time was so delicious."

"I didn't have time to do it in a hurry this time, so I took a few bean paste buns that I made last time, you will taste them first, and I will bring you food when I am free tomorrow." Mu Bangxiang took out a bag from his sleeve, and after untying it, he revealed the two white buns inside.

The little monk took it and ate it in a big gulp, although the buns were already cold, they were still delicious for the ghosts, and in a moment, the two buns were wiped out.

After eating, the little monk took the initiative to speak: "You can see the ghost, it must not be an ordinary person, you should come here again for Kongming, right?" ”

The old spicy tone sometimes made Mu Bangxiang ignore the age of the little monk in front of her, and she really couldn't imagine how much he had been through.

"That's right, now there are a few people under the mountain who have a strange disease, even my brother has not escaped, and the strange disease that the doctors in the city can't understand have been cured by Kong Ming, I think this matter is really strange."

"I walk back and forth on the stone road every day, at most I walk around the prayer wheel, and I have never been inside the temple." The little monk said lightly.

This means that he doesn't know anything, and Mu Bangxiang is disappointed, but this is also a helpless thing.

He suddenly said, "But I've noticed that a lot of strangely dressed people have been looking for Kong Ming recently. ”

Eccentric? Mu Bangxiang frowned: "Can you tell me more about what's weird?" ”

"It's just not like the people in my court, all of them are very tall, and there is a woman in red with a veil." The little monk sighed, "That's all I saw. ”

If you don't say it's from this dynasty, it's from other countries.

Wudong Mansion extends in all directions, and now there are many foreigners who come here to do business, are they doing ghosts?

"Thank you, we didn't know where to start, but now we finally have some clues."

"That's good, Kong Ming has great ambitions, you must be careful." The little monk couldn't help but remind.

Compared with the indifference last time, the little monk this time was too enthusiastic.

Lin Qinghuan couldn't help but ask, "Why are you willing to say anything this time?" ”

"I was afraid that you would be bad people that time, so I didn't say anything, but recently I heard the lonely ghost talk about your case, and I knew that I was wrong." The little monk sighed quietly, "Do you want to know the story of Kong Ming?" ”

According to what Mu Bangxiang knows so far, Kong Ming is a high monk, so naturally she wants to know a lot, so she nodded immediately.

"I am a disciple of Kongming who has realized the Fa, and I was ten years old when I died." The first sentence made Mu Bangxiang stunned, where would she have thought that the little monk turned out to be Kong Ming's apprentice, what happened here, she was so curious.

The little monk continued: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, I was adopted by Kong Ming and brought to the Zishan Temple, at first he still wanted to promote Buddhism and exhort everyone to be good, but then he gradually changed, only thinking about making money, how to build the temple grandiose; How to gild the bodhisattva inside. ”

Mu Bangxiang heard the dissatisfaction in the little monk's heart, more anger, and she didn't know how to comfort her.

The little monk has regained his composure: "In order to achieve the purpose of collecting money, he received nobles all day long, and not only that, but also bought off many people and asked them to go around to preach and tell him how he was supernatural." In fact, those people were all selected, and Kong Ming had already found someone to inquire about their backgrounds. ”

Mu Bangxiang suddenly asked, "Is he just collecting money by doing all this?" ”

"In the past few years, it was really all about money, but at any time his popularity gradually increased, and Kong Ming's ambition also changed." The little monk's eyes gradually dimmed, "I accidentally bumped into a conversation between Kong Ming and his henchmen, he said that he wanted the soil emperor to control one side. ”

That way, everything makes sense.

Kong Ming tried his best to win people's hearts, in order to pave the way for the future.

In this way, Kong Ming has become the most suspicious person.

Mu Bangxiang hurriedly asked, "Little monk, do you know what he did?" ”

The little monk shook his head: "To be honest, Kong Ming is still very good to me, he knows that I don't like this kind of thing, so he doesn't let me get involved, and even so that no one in the temple is allowed to do those things in front of me." ”

In this way, Kong Ming really loves this little apprentice.

There is no evidence, Mu Bangxiang is somewhat disappointed, but it is much better to have direction.
