The eyes of the two monks who fell on him always felt strange, and Pingzhuang's brows twisted into knots, and he turned his head to glare at the two monks: "See what I do?" ”

The two monks hurriedly said Amitabha.

It's good to think about this kind of thing, how embarrassing it is to say it!

Qiao Ran glanced at the two monks, couldn't help curling the corners of her lips, and said with a smile: "A Buddha name really works, I don't know how to answer and shout Amitabha." ”

The two monks instinctively said: "Ami ......"

Halfway through the conversation, she remembered her previous sentence and immediately closed it, but like this, it seemed to be even more embarrassing.

Qiao Ran didn't seem to be aware of the awkward atmosphere at the moment, and after glancing at Pingzhuang, who was looking stunned, he turned to the host and made a Buddhist salute, and said, "Master Huaijiu." ”

Huai Jiu bowed slightly at her: "Female donor, today is not the day to seek Buddha." ”

"I know." The girl said as she reached for her sleeve pocket.

This move was so familiar that the two monks on the side, together with Pingzhuang, blurted out: "I can't stop it." ”

After a "can't be stopped", the girl lived up to expectations, took out the waist card in her sleeve pocket and shook it in front of everyone, and said, "I have something I want to ask Master Huaijiu." ”

The pure gold waist card of "as if I was coming" shines in the sun.

Seeing this, Pingzhuang couldn't help but say, "You are running around with this brand, does Your Majesty know?" ”

"It's not too late for you to see Your Majesty another day, and then complain to Your Majesty." The girl didn't look at him and took the waist card, looked at Huaijiu and said, "I don't know if the master is convenient?" ”

Master Huaijiu made a Buddha salute: "Amitabha, the donor should come with the old man!" ”

Who would dare to be inconvenient about this? Pingzhuang scolded a sentence, and when he saw the girl following his ninth uncle to the main hall, he couldn't help muttering: "I used to listen to how amazing the Great Governor was blowing, but when I really saw it, I knew that he was just a man who acted like a fox and a fake tiger." ”

Although he had only gone out with this so-called Master Qiao to do something, he really didn't see that she had any ability. Yes...... As if he had suddenly thought of something, Pingzhuang's gaze couldn't help but fall on the face of the girl who hadn't turned the corner of the hall yet.

It is not a dark official robe in Su Ri, but a bright red jacket skirt, but there is a faint glow in the childishness.

It's beautiful! As for the means, remembering that Zhang Tianshi bowed down in front of her and made a small posture, Pingzhuang pursed his lips, a little disdainful.

In the final analysis, it's not the ability, it's the face!

At present, the one who leaned on his face and His Majesty's waist card had forcibly "invited" Uncle Jiu away, Pingzhuang was a little breathless, and snorted fiercely.

The two monks on the side heard his complaints, but their expressions were a little subtle, and they glanced at each other, and one of them still spoke.

"Master Ping, this Lord Qiao didn't show that waist card first." The monk sighed and said, "The little junior brother excused herself according to your words, but she saw through it. ”

Pingzhuang was suddenly surprised when he heard this: "What did you say?" ”

The two monks glanced at each other, stretched out their hands and rubbed their little junior brother's slick head, and told the previous things in front of the temple, and then said seriously: "This Qiao Shi Master should not be as incompetent as Ping Shi Shi thinks, I think he has some ability to be selected by His Majesty." ”

The two monks didn't forget to sigh after speaking: "Amitabha, the sage's discernment!" ”

This flat donor looks quite stupid! I want to educate and educate more, but if I can't do it, I can ask the host to come out in person, maybe even the next host will be saved?

Pingzhuang, who came back to his senses, suddenly changed his face: "According to what you say, she is so powerful and stays with my ninth uncle, won't my ninth uncle suffer?" ”

With that, he strode in the direction where the two in front of him had left.

……

Because it was a closed day at the temple gate, there was no one in the hall, Huai Jiu led Qiao Ran to the two futons in the middle, and sat down facing the door.

Seeing this, Tang Zhongyuan retreated to the outside of the main hall and waited.

Qiao Ran made a Buddhist salute to Huai Jiu and simply sat down opposite him.

After sitting down, Qiao Ran spoke: "Master Huaijiu! ”

Huai Jiu said: "The old man is depressed between his eyebrows, and he thinks that there is an urgent matter, so he might as well say it directly." ”

Qiao Ran said: "The little girl wants to ask the master about the six realms of reincarnation. ”

"Naturally." Huai Jiu bowed slightly, but the narrow phoenix eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, "Does the donor want to ask things or people?" ”

This sentence...... Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and after a while, when he looked at Huaijiu's pale face, he slowly spoke: "How about asking about things, and how about asking people?" ”

Huai Jiu said: "When I asked about things, the old man quoted the scriptures and told the six reincarnations in detail; If you ask someone," he said here, he stopped, looked at Qiao Ran, and his expression remained the same, "The donor is from Dali Temple, if he is here for the case, it is more suitable to ask someone." ”

Qiao Ran was silent for a moment and smiled: "What the master said is good, I'll still ask someone!" ”

So Huaijiu lowered his head and shouted "Amitabha" and then spoke again: "What did the donor ask?" ”

Qiao Ran said: "Master, I want to ask if people who do evil in the mortal world and go to hell after death really want to go to the eighteen hells to pay for their sins?" ”

"You think he's true, he's true, you think he's false, he's false." Huai Jiu kicked back the true and false answers with a smile, looked at her and said, "The donor wants to ask about the Yama Dao?" ”

Qiao Ran nodded and said, "I'm a little puzzled about this matter. ”

Huai Jiu looked at her for a moment, got up from the futon, and walked towards the row of merit books placed on the long table in the corner of the hall.

By the time he returned to the futon, he had a thick stack of merit books in his hands.

"Three months ago, on the fifteenth day of the preaching, the old man preached the way of the king of Hades." Huai Jiu said, "This is the list of pilgrims who donated sesame oil that day. ”

The thick half-man-high roster can vaguely guess the pomp and circumstance of the sermon that day.

Qiao Ran frowned, reached out and took a copy and flipped it over.

Huai Jiu smiled and looked at the girl who bowed her head and flipped through the merit book very quickly, paused for a moment, and suddenly said loudly: "When is the time for retribution." ”

The girl who looked down at the merit book did not raise her head: "The master really gave birth to a pair of good eyes, and he knows that this matter is related to hatred." ”

"Many people in the world are like this, but they don't know how to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." Huai Jiu sighed and said with emotion, "Jumping out of the world is the only way." ”

Qiao Ran's hand in the merit book did not stop, and he only chuckled when he heard the words, and said, "Master, I will not escape into the empty door, so don't say this kind of thing to me." ”

The girl didn't look up the whole time, and as she spoke, she had already finished the merit book in her hand, she put the finished merit book aside, opened another merit book, and continued to flip through it.

A trace of doubt flashed on Huaijiu's face, which had always been faint in the face of brushing and flipping through the situation like this: "Master Qiao, have you seen it clearly?" Remember? ”

The girl hummed and didn't raise her head: "Remember." ”

"Do two things and never forget." Huai Jiu finally decided. Newcastle

The girl in front of her has such a talent, it's really ...... He bowed his head and said "Amitabha", looking at the girl who looked down at the merit book, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

What a good Huigen, but it's a pity that he is disturbed by mundane things.

"Master don't look at me like that, as if he really wants to cross me." Although the girl did not raise her head, as if she had eyes on the top of her head, she spoke: "For me, no matter how good it is to jump out of the world, people are still in the five elements. ”

"In the Five Elements?" A trace of confusion flashed in Huaijiu's eyes, "There is some truth ......"

At this moment, Pingzhuang's shouting voice sounded from outside the hall.

"Why can't I go in? My ninth uncle is inside! ”

Tang Zhongyuan persuaded: "Master Huaijiu is talking to Miss Qiao, and he is on duty in Dali Temple, please Brother Ping don't embarrass me." ”

Pingzhuang angrily argued with him: "Why did I go in to embarrass you? Is it like a lonely man and a widow living in the same room? ”

Tang Zhongyuan still persuaded unhurriedly: "Brother Ping, even if Master Huaijiu refuses to return to the vulgar, you can't say such things to slander Master Huaijiu's conduct." ”

Pingzhuang was choked by his words: he wasn't talking about Uncle Nine......

However, it was only at this time that Pingzhuang once again faced up to this seemingly inconspicuous official: "I didn't pay attention to Brother Tang before. ”

There must be merit in being regarded as a confidant by Zhen Shiyuan, when he really relies on helping people run errands to get to the top, maybe he will be put together by this seemingly loyal and honest official!

Thinking of this, Pingzhuang suppressed the anger in his heart: The Great Governor is right, officialdom is different from the rivers and lakes, and you have to do things with an eye.

At this time, the two monks also caught up, and when they walked up to him, they said "Amitabha" and persuaded Pingzhuang in a "low voice": "Don't break in, she has that brand in her hand." ”

Pingzhuang's face froze: "She also relied on that brand." ”

"That can't be helped," said one of the monks helplessly, "who told you not to have it?" ”

Pingzhuang was speechless for a while.

The movement seemed to alarm the people in the temple, and the girl's voice came from the temple: "Come in!" ”

This "come in" did not name names, so the four people outside simply walked into the hall together.

At a glance, I saw a stack of merit books stacked in the hands of the girl with her back to them, and she looked at it quickly, and Master Huaijiu on the opposite side looked dazed.

"Uncle Nine!" Seeing this, Pingzhuang hurriedly shouted, walked over and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Saying this, as if Miss Qiao was some kind of flood beast, Tang Zhongyuan glanced at him and sat down on the futon on the side.

Qiao Ran opened her mouth and said, "Your ninth uncle is fine, but I'm doing things seriously." He always talks to me, and I think he's a little bored, so why don't you come in and talk to the master. ”

Pingzhuang's face was suddenly full of excitement.

Master Huaijiu didn't care, he only smiled when he heard this, and said, "It's the old man who is in love, what Master Qiao said." ”

The hall suddenly fell silent, except for the sound of girls quickly flipping through the booklets.

The half-human-tall stack of merit books quickly came to the bottom after such a quick flip through them, and the girl stood up, hugged the two merit books she had picked out, and said, "Thank you, Master, I will bring these two merit books back first." ”

Master Huaijiu said "Amitabha" again.

The corners of Pingzhuang's mouth twitched when he listened, and he inexplicably thought of what this Lord Qiao said not long ago: A Buddha name really works, I don't know how to answer and shout Amitabha.

She took that brand, not to mention two merit books, and just wanted to move them all back, what could others say?

It wasn't until the girl left with Tang Zhongyuan that Pingzhuang remembered today's business.

"Uncle Nine, when will you be vulgar? Grandmother has not been in good health recently, and she has been talking about you," Pingzhuang persuaded Master Huaijiu bitterly, "Everyone in the family says that grandmother loves you the most, can you bear to see your grandmother so sad and suffering from lovesickness?" ”

The two monks on the side heard this and "coughed" again and again: This lovesick suffering is not used like this, and this Ping Shi Shi has read a little less!

Huai Jiu didn't even raise his eyebrows, but looked at Pingzhuang, and said, "You are right to go back to Chang'an this time." Dali Temple is a place to train people, if you take it down in Dali Temple, the future is bound to be limitless. ”

Pingzhuang rolled his eyelids: "How many days have I only been to Dali Temple?" Master Qiao, who had just left, ran his leg a few times, and then stayed in the yamen to be on standby. Those colleagues said that the official mission does such boring work every day, I think it is better to treat my grandmother better, and go back to the rivers and lakes! ”

Huai Jiu said: "One glance and ten lines, one heart and two uses, and never forget, that Qiao Shi's ability is really rare, you have the opportunity to follow her, you will definitely gain a lot." ”

Most people in the world are confused, and they can't make their own decisions, and it's a good choice to choose a master. He had escaped into the empty door, but this nephew still had to find a way out.

Huai Jiu lowered his eyelids, covered the color of the bewitching world under his eyes, and said "Amitabha" again.

It's just that there is a little more helplessness in this Buddha horn.

……

I went to Hanshan Temple and brought back two merit books.

When he returned to Dali Temple, Zhen Shiyuan was squatting in the house where he was working and teasing a flower cat that he got out of nowhere.

I don't know if I'm sleepy, the flower cat meowed twice, and then closed his eyes and ignored Zhen Shiyuan.

"My lord, the plaything is demoralized!" Qiao Ran laughed when she walked in the door, and then said, "Did you really get one?" ”

Zhen Shiyuan snorted, put the chicken in his hand into the bowl next to Hua Mao, got up and introduced: "It's called Xiaohua, and it will stay in Dali Temple." After that, he twisted his beard and explained with a bit of a weak heart, "This is what those colleagues in your lobby have been asking for, and this official can only do it." ”

Qiao Ran laughed twice and didn't expose his lies, but asked about the matter: "How is the case at hand?" ”

"I've been staring at Yuanheng Qianzhuang! There's not much movement at the moment. Zhen Shiyuan replied to her, and asked her rhetorically, "What about you?" Disappeared early in the morning. ”

Qiao Ran said: "I went to Hanshan Temple. ”

Zhen Shiyuan was a little surprised when he heard this: "Are you going to ask about the death of those people?" ”

"Not really." As she spoke, the girl handed him a merit book in her hand and said, "I went to find Master Huaijiu and asked, and the fifteenth day of the master's Dao three months ago was about the Dao of Hades. So I borrowed the merit book for that day and flipped through it, and then I saw a name in your merit book. ”

Zhen Shiyuan was stunned: "Who?" ”

"Hu Yuanzi."

Zhen Shiyuan was confused: "Who is that?" "Is there any family surnamed Hu who stayed in the Que Tower?

Qiao Ran was silent and said, "It's not a child of the clan, it's the chef in the Que Building," the girl said and closed her eyes, recalled for a moment, and said, "I remember that according to the portrait, that Hu Yuanzi was a strong man when he was alive, and when he died, he fell in the back kitchen, and the blood-stained kitchen knife was thrown by his side." ”

This is in line with the inference that the murderer committed suicide with a knife after trying and killing all the people in the building, so it makes sense from the order of death. As for the motives, I guess digging deeper should be able to dig up the clues.

Zhen Shiyuan's heart skipped a beat: "You mean this case is going to be solved?" "If that's the case, what kind of luck is she! Not only was the luck of bumping into the case extraordinary, but even the key clues to solve the case came so quickly?

The girl pursed her lips and said, "I don't think it's that simple. ”
