"Is it really appropriate to eat this thing in a place like this?" Gong Chen looked at the chicken, duck and fish on the table with a puzzled expression, and then looked back at the solemn and luxurious Buddha statues around him, feeling particularly ironic.

"What, isn't that what you wanted?" Father Ann said with a gloating smile.

"Who said that," Gong Chen said as he pushed a mouthful of untouched food out of his reach, "you guys eat, I'd rather be hungry." ”

Although it is indeed a little awkward to have such a table of big fish and meat in this kind of Buddhist hall, but after all, it is the hospitality of others, Yu Siqi himself is quite casual, especially his stomach is indeed a little bit unlucky, and the roast chicken on the table is particularly charming. However, everyone present seemed very restrained and did not pay attention to the food at all, which made Yu Siqi, a thin-skinned person, embarrassed to be the first to do it. I had no choice but to resist the temptation of delicious food and look at the front with the same eyes as everyone else.

Probably this gaze was so resolute and blazing that Su Qingwen, who was burying her head in nibbling on the chicken legs, raised her head unconsciously, and saw the food on the table that was barely moving, and she frowned slightly.

"What, isn't it unappetizing?" Su Qingwen put down the half-gnawed chicken leg and asked, "You don't plan to come to eat fast, right?" You're going to be disappointed, I made my own meal today. ”

"Oh, do you usually eat such a hearty meal, in a Zen temple?" Father Ann asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Why, can't you?" Su Qingwen wiped her mouth and said, "What I want to eat in my own Zen courtyard is my personal hobby, okay, does the Holy Father think that I have to eat that kind of wild vegetables and mushrooms in the local customs?" ”

"Well said, worthy of being an orphan of the church." Fr. Ann stood up and said, "I was so moved that I was about to cry. ”

"Holy Father, what you are saying sounds a little glaring!" Su Qingwen said coldly, "Isn't this meal of mine much better than those garbage biscuits you eat below?" ”

The atmosphere in the room changed in an instant, it was so boring and uncomfortable a few seconds ago, and it became so tense with Su Qingwen's inconspicuous words. For this reason, Xie Baozhen and Shi Yizhe even stood up.

The two of them asked in unison, "How did you know we had eaten cookies just now?" ”

"Silly girl, there are many ways to know what others have done and what they haven't." Su Qingwen said meaningfully: "Don't think of everyone as naïve and naïve as you. ”

"Who do you say is naïve?" Xie Baozhen slapped the table in annoyance, and a good steamed fish fell to the ground, and Yu Siqi smacked his lips in some frustration.

"Ouch, you have a big temper!" Su Qingwen said in a strange manner: "Since you don't want to have lunch with me, why don't you leave here, please forgive the little girl for not being far away, Holy Father." ”

"Well, I think it's really not a place to eat." Fr. An pointed to the surrounding Buddha statues and said, "Nice trick, really... If I hadn't been on guard, maybe I would have really caught your way! ”

"May I take this as a threat, Holy Father?" Su Qingwen also stood up, lazily stroked her hair and said, "You guys are really rude!" ”

"Disrespectful?" Gong Chen shouted sharply, the expression of the hippie smile that usually hung on his face was not even gone, and it was replaced by a black face like angry King Kong.

"Isn't it?" Su Qingwen looked at everyone expressionlessly and said, "Intruding into other people's lives without permission, and entering other people's territory without permission, and even sneering at the host's hospitality." Isn't this rude enough, or is there no word for 'etiquette' in the dictionary of you sanctimonious guys? ”

"What a clever mouth," Father An stopped Shi Yizhe and Xie Baozhen, who were about to come forward to theorize, and held down Gong Chen, who was a little angry, and said with a smile: "Since I was regarded as a reckless person, then I simply continued to go now." I would venture to ask, what about the monks in this Zen monastery? ”

"They've all gone out to travel," Su Qingwen said perfunctorily.

"Oh, is it? I don't think so! Father Ann took out a different book from his bosom and opened it and said, "Maybe they're still here." ”

"You stole my book?" When Su Qingwen saw the cover of the book, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she quickly regained her composure.

Then she changed to a more piercing mocking voice and said: "I can't imagine that the Holy Father of the Church has actually done something like stealing chickens and dogs, and it is no wonder that the Church will end up like this." ”

"I took the book, and it has nothing to do with the priest." Shi Yizhe stood up and said: "And this is not stealing from you, at most it is just borrowing it to take a look." ”

"A good borrowing is not stealing, are all your people so good at sophistry?" Su Qingwen said impatiently: "I've had enough of you filthy scum, and now leave my private meditation courtyard immediately." ”

"Do you want me to beat her up? I can make sure I don't hurt her pretty good face. Gong Chen jumped and rolled up his sleeves.

"You can go and give it a try," Father Ann made a gesture of please.

"You think I don't know the cats here, so I'm not fooled, you want to scold me, you're really bad!" After Gong Chen smoothed his sleeves, he dragged Yu Siqi, who was confused next to him, stepped back a little and said, "We're at the back station, we're going to fight." ”

"Fighting? What's the start? Yu Siqi asked suspiciously, he didn't understand what was going on at all, but he could only listen to him.

didn't mean that Siqi walked to the designated position, but with a wave of Su Qingwen's jade hand, the originally glamorous Buddhist hall around it became desolate and dilapidated.

The collapsed Buddha statue smashed the relatively clean floor into a deep pit that was not too small, the columns engraved with golden letters were almost all broken into one after another, the beams of the entrance door were crooked in the middle of the entrance, and the place where the table was placed was now neatly stacked with some rotting corpses, and from some earthy yellow rags, these should be the monks in the original Zen monastery.

"Very powerful illusion," said Father Ann, looking at it all with approval, "it seems that you are much stronger than your brother!" ”

"Have you seen that useless piece of garbage already? It's a shame you'll never see him again. Su Qingwen shrill and screamed, and the bursts of laughter made people completely unable to compare with the polite weak woman before.

"Indeed," said Father Ann, "if I guess correctly, you and your brother have been doing terrible experiments all along, right?" ”

"How do you know this, Holy Father?" Su Qingwen seemed a little surprised that others knew her secret.

"That's a long story," said Father An, touching the book in his hand, "but since it's still early, I'll just talk about it." Because you have a very smelly smell that only monsters that have bathed in human blood have. Of course, I don't know why you're doing this, and I don't know why you siblings are committing such a catastrophe, but I think there's no turning back for you. Of course, I can't understand why your brother would fake the illusion that he is dead, and I'm afraid you need to explain this to us. ”

"Do you think I'll tell you?" Su Qingwen asked with a laugh.

"Of course not, but I can start by telling you about the part I know, I happened to take my students to visit my somewhat clingy wife that day, and noticed something like you in the parking lot. So we came to your house, yes... On the surface, it was 'you' who gave us a warm welcome, but I think we both knew that today was our first meeting. So the question is, who did we see in the first place? ”

"That stupid guy actually knows to pretend to be me." Su Qingwen muttered: "I underestimated him..."

"Yes, he needed to go home for some reason, and his original identity was abandoned because of his own 'accidental' operation. He must have been very annoyed at the time, and it was a very uncomfortable thing to be forced to borrow someone else's identity. But as your closest brother, he's obviously familiar with everything about you, not to mention he's also a master of illusion. Fr. Ann looked at the people around him who were listening with relish, and then continued with a light voice: "Very good disguise, which has succeeded in deceiving me and my students, at least in appearance. But he overlooked one of the most crucial details, and that was the smell. And this smell can only be possessed by you, who have really been stained with blood, that is, your own sister. So where did you go at that time, I think it must have been broken up by him, I think it shouldn't be very difficult for a mansion as big as yours to have a few large basements. Not to mention the fact that there was a large cemetery before. ”

"You've been told that you should actually go to the police station?" Su Qingwen smiled and said, "Maybe the editorial office is a better choice?" ”

"A lot of people have said that I think a little differently than the average person, and I prefer that they are complimenting me on my intelligence." Father An cheekily said, "I noticed the appearance of an abnormal state, so I sent Ah Zhe to keep an eye on your whereabouts. It's a pity that you found out so quickly, and I must admit that I underestimated your methods, and you are even more terrible than I thought. ”

"What do you call stalking?" Su Qingwen asked maliciously: "It seems that you have to teach your people how to walk well." ”

"The vicious witch dares to be so arrogant."

"Don't be impulsive, Ah Zhe!"

I saw Ah Zhe passing by Yu Siqi's side like lightning, and instantly appeared on Su Qingwen's side and punched him. But he didn't want his ankles to be entangled in dead trees like tentacles, and he couldn't move.

"Maybe you should learn to be polite," a thick tree root struck straight at the bridge of Schyizhe's nose, and with the sound of the bridge of his nose breaking, bright red blood was flowing down his lips, and this blow completely knocked out Schyizhe, who was still about to struggle.

"Let him go!" Father Ann opened the book, and the words came to his lips, and a hint of anger appeared on his pale, bloodless face.

Su Qingwen didn't pay attention, just glanced at Ah Zhe, who was bound by layers of branches, as if admiring her prey. Suddenly, with a slight flick of Father Ann's wrist, her arm suddenly felt like it had been burned with a red-hot soldering iron. The branches that had been entangled in Ah Zhe were all burned to ashes, and Ah Zhe, who had just regained his will, was kneeling on the ground, covering his bleeding nose.

Xie Baozhen, who was standing on the sidelines, hurriedly ran over to help Ah Zhe up, and Ah Zhe, who was a little prostrate, leaned on Ah Zhen's shoulder, with a painful expression on his face.

"Okay, good..."Su Qingwen shouted a few words, and the tree roots that rose into the air pierced the floor like tentacles, and attacked Father An and them.

Just as Father Ann was about to open the book to deal with it, Gong Chen took out something that looked like an oil lamp. I saw that the roots of the trees, which were originally thick and fierce, stopped near the light, and seemed to be a little frightened.

"The guiding light of the Lamersiani, very good... Looks like you're well prepared, little investigator! Su Qingwen roared angrily: "You are lucky today!" ”

"Don't let her run, Father!" Gong Chen strode after him with an oil lamp, but he didn't want to pounce in front of Su Qingwen's disappearing afterimage, and fell into a.

"How do you feel, my good student?" Father An completely ignored Gong Chen, who was struggling among the withered roots, and walked up to Yu Siqi, who was a little speechless, and asked.

"I... It's OK... Yu Siqi didn't know how to face such a question at all, if the memories he had seen before were like watching a movie, then everything that happened just now was like making a movie, and he was just one of the insignificant passers-by.

"Ah Zhe, can you still move?" Father An turned his head to look at someone who was being supported by Ah Zhen's hands, and asked with concern.

"Reluctantly," Shi Yizhe wiped his nose with a smile, and the back of his hand was covered with blood.
