Lan Ya reluctantly took out a piece of paper from her body, drew a flower, drew a smiling face next to it, tied it to the talons of Eagle Xiaobai with a rope, and sent a letter of peace to her family.

Seeing that the Tiger Leap Temple was not far from here, he said to Haishi and Lan Duo: "Second sister, I will settle you in the Tiger Leap Temple first, don't run around, this is different from the peaks of Yujia Village, it is inaccessible, and there are many large beasts." ”

Although Landuo was not happy, he also knew that what he could do was really limited, so he nodded silently.

A few people were walking in the direction of the Tiger Leap Temple, and a few people behind them rushed like ghosts, and when they saw the three people in front of them, they were stunned and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Lan Ya saw that it was Zhuo Xiaoran, Ming Xuan, Zhuo Liu, and Miao Zhu, and couldn't help but pale: "I went hunting nearby, and I want to settle my second sister here with Monk Yijia." ”

Zhuo Xiaoran sighed softly: "You better not go, there was a fire in the Tiger Leap Temple yesterday, and the monk Jijia passed away." ”

Lan Ya couldn't help but be stunned: "Monk Sujia is dead? What about the little novices? ”

Xiao Ran sighed softly: "The people in the yamen said that it was the little novice who stole the meat, and was discovered by the monk Sujia and punished the little novice, and the little novice held a grudge, so he set fire to Zhijia and killed him. ”

Lan Ya frowned slightly, her intuition told her that this matter would not be as simple as it seemed.

involuntarily followed Xiao Ran and his party towards the Tiger Leap Temple.

The temple has been surrounded by a group of officials, and even Wang Antai is leading a group of soldiers in dark clothes and bright armor.

Lord Cheng, the county magistrate, and Lord Xie, the prefect, were by their side with a pleasant face, and the three of them were chatting about something.

When they arrived at the gate of the temple, several officials stopped a few people, and the governor of Xie hurriedly scolded, and the officials hurriedly let a few people in, and Lan Ya also followed.

Because it is located on the mountain, it is sparsely populated, and the fire has not been put out in time, and only one side hall has been burned, full of broken beams, and it is dilapidated.

The little monk was shackled by several fierce officials, and his face was panicked and helpless.

Seeing Zhuo Xiaoran coming, his eyes were full of pleading, but his mouth was tightly closed.

Several people came to Monk Yujia and asked Zhuo Liu to lift the robe that covered it.

The sea stone hurriedly covered Landuo's eyes.

Xiao Ran originally wanted to block Lan Ya with his body, but Lan Ya waved his hand to stop him.

Lifting the robe, there was a flat black corpse below, burned like black carbon, and it was impossible to distinguish at all.

Wang Ankang stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Master Zhuo, I searched inside and out, there is no trace of fighting, there is no poisoning, I should have been burned to death in my sleep." ”

Pointing to the little monk and said: "I have been tried just now, the little monk took advantage of the fact that the monk was asleep and went down to eat in the venison pot, and he fell asleep while eating, and the fire burned, and he was woken up and escaped. He wanted to rush into the meditation room to save him, but the door was locked from the inside, and by the time he found the firewood knife, the meditation room had collapsed. ”

When the governor of Xie searched, he found that the little monk's leg had a mark of cane reprimand, and the little monk confessed, and the monk found that he secretly ate meat, and punished him to kneel in front of the Buddha, repented for a day and a night, and punished him with a cane. Master Xie suspected that the little monk had a grudge against the monk Yijia, so he deliberately set fire to Jijia and killed him. ”

Zhuo Xiaoran was noncommittal, walked around the front and back of the hall, and saw that Lan Ya was beside a pool, caressing a huge old turtle with his hand, walked to his side and whispered: "I don't believe that the little monk killed the lawsuit." ”

Lan Ya nodded lightly and said, "Of course." “

Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at Lan Ya, waiting for Lan Ya to talk about the following.

Lan Ya's eyes were like ink and said, "I'm done, will you save the little monk?" ”

Xiao Ran nodded, his eyes revealing indescribable firmness.

Lan Ya pondered for a long time and said: "If a person is burned alive, his body will not be so flat, and he will definitely show a state of pain and ricketism, and the death of Zhu Jia shows that he was already dead before the fire burned him, and it was a fatal blow, and he had no power to resist, and these are not what a five or six-year-old little novice can do." ”

Xiao Ran silently watched Lan Ya teasing the turtle, and said indifferently: "You are the key to what you say." I only observed a strangulation mark on the wreckage of the beam, and the level of detail should be that the silk was made, indicating that the murderer entered from the roof; Another point, the little monk is only four or five years old, but he is powerless, but he can eat venison, which is very strange, it is estimated that someone wants to burn down the entire Tiger Leap Temple, so that some secrets will be buried forever. ”

Lan Ya couldn't help but be surprised, not because of Xiao Ran's quick thinking, but because he was frank enough with himself. But he couldn't tell him and Pan, the old turtle told her that people often secretly cut the meat into thin slices and put it in the yard, and the person who put the meat was wearing the same clothes as Wang Ankang, Lan Ya could conclude that the last plotter in this matter was the stingy man in the cavalry camp, or even the emperor's person.

Zhuo Xiaoran really did not disappoint Lan Ya, and after a period of mediation, the little monk was acquitted and sent to Puren Temple at the foot of the mountain to continue to be his monk.

The servants dispersed, looking at the broken wall, Xiao Ran said with a burst of sorrow on his face: "Will you still stay here?" ”

Lan Ya nodded and said, "Of course, you know me, I have always been afraid of dead people and beasts. ”

"Haha, only ghosts are afraid of you, no one is afraid of ghosts." A hearty laugh came, and Wang Ankang went and returned alone.

Lan Ya's face darkened and said: "Prince Ankang, are you the official of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, why did you get involved in the death of the old monk?" ”

Wang Ankang smiled bitterly: "The life of the courtiers is the emperor's, the emperor will do whatever he wants, and the emperor will come to worship the sky at the end of the year, of course I have to eliminate all threats." ”

Looking at the crooked black bear on Lan Ya's body, she couldn't help but help straighten it with her hand with a funny smile: "A little girl, I prefer to make a black bear's fur, isn't there a white mink?" ”

Lan Ya's face turned dark, and she scolded angrily: "The fur you sent didn't have a bear's head on it, how do I know it's a black bear?" Mink fur is so scarce, where am I willing to make my own big fur? I'm like a monkey all day long, and I can't control the white ones. ”

Wang Ankang laughed again, and the laughter shook the world, shocking Xiao Ran's brows tightly.

"Brother Ankang, don't you have official duties?" The young man asked with a calm face.

Wang Ankang said with a smile: "Young Master Zhuo, now it is a big deal to find out the death of Zhu Jia. ”

Lan Ya slandered in her heart, and it was strange to find out, and it was found out that Emperor Lao Tzu was the first to do it.

Ignoring a few people, he walked towards the side hall that had not been burned out, pushed open the wrecked door, and let Lan Duo and Hai Shi put things in, and Hai Shi accompanied Lan Duo to stay and settle down, and he walked towards the outside of the temple.

Wang Ankang hurriedly followed, Zhuo Xiaoran followed, and Zhuo Liu shrugged his shoulders helplessly to Mingxuan, and also followed.

Lan Ya turned over a stone beam according to the position Cheng Saburo said, saw the first line of heaven that Cheng Saburo said, and passed through the first line of sky, only to see Cheng Saburo flash in front of him with a happy face, and smiled at Lan Ya: "I knew you would come, I have been waiting for you for three whole days." ”

Lan Ya smiled awkwardly, and let go of him, and Yuguan walked out of Zhuo Xiaoran, Wang Ankang and Zhuo Liu.

Cheng Saburo's face flashed, knowing that everyone in front of him was either rich or expensive, he didn't dare to attack, so he had to follow Lan Ya's side with a gloomy face, but Zhuo Xiaoran stopped between the two without a trace.

Then turn a steep hillside, and what catches your eye is actually a valley, the valley is unusually warm, butterflies and birds are singing, and flowers are blooming, like entering a fairyland.

Looking ahead, the mountain peaks are towering, snow-capped and towering into the clouds.

Only halfway up the mountain, it is actually two seasons, which is breathtaking.

Cheng Saburo is not an old hunter, and he found a fox den along the tracks, and several people hunted and killed more than a dozen foxes.

put the fox into the basket, Lan Ya wanted to carry it on her back, but was taken away by Zhuo Xiaoran.

Zhuo Liu immediately took it with a look in his eyes, and he was aggrieved in his heart, and he was disgusted in his heart, the basket was a big circle larger than that of ordinary farmers, and the dozen foxes that were put down were not even full, if it wasn't for the internal force, this ugly would have been lost.

Back at the temple, Cheng Saburo took the initiative to go to the stream to peel the skin, and Haishi felt that he should learn it, so he followed.

Mingxuan and Lan Duo looked at the basket full of fox skins they had brought back, and they were so frightened that they couldn't speak for a long time, and Lan Duo's eyes were even redder.

Lan Ya couldn't help but lament, there is a long way to go to train a soft girl to become a female man.

Ming Xuan shook his head and said, "Young Master, you can't kill anymore, someone has already handed a fold to the imperial court, saying that you instigated your subordinates to hunt countless animals, and the killing and robbery on your body is too heavy, so you will not be allowed to participate in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony." ”

Lan Ya shook her head disapprovingly.

Zhuo Xiaoran didn't say anything, just watched Lan Ya hurriedly spread the fox skin in the yard and dried it.

Picking up a mouse-gold fox skin, the little girl smiled and said, "Xiao Ran, look, how about making a fur collar for my mother with this fox tail?" ”

Zhuo Xiaoran peeked at Ming Xuan, wanting to nod, but he was afraid that the old man would break his thoughts again.

Lan Ya ran to Ming Xuan without shame, and deliberately circled in front of Ming Xuan with his fur, Ming Xuan's face turned red and white, obviously really angry.

Lan Ya snickered and looked at the master who was as angry as a frog, sat beside Ming Xuan, and said with a straight face: "Master Ming, what is good?" What is evil? ”

Ming Xuan looked at Lan Ya unintelligibly, and said after a moment of silence: "Goodness, because of the heart, sacrifice the small self and fulfill the big self." Evil, the opposite. ”

Lan Ya said with a solemn face: "Xiao Ran's hunting of fierce beasts is because his intention is to save the villagers under the mountain, what's wrong?" ”

Ming Xuan couldn't help but hesitate.

Lan Ya continued: "With the herbs, the worms and insects provide food for the birds, and the birds provide food for the eagles, and the eagle's droppings become fertilizer for the growth of the herbs. In the same way, tigers eat wolves, wolves eat foxes, foxes eat rabbits, rabbits eat grass, and grass grows from animal manure. This is called the food chain, also known as ecological balance. ”

Xiao Ran and Ming Xuan seemed to think about Lan Ya's words with understanding.

Lan Ya continued: "If, without the eagle and the snake, the birds will be overflowing, they will feed on the crops, and the people will have nothing to eat; Similarly, when there are fewer rabbits, wolves will look for other food, such as people. The food chain on the Seven Star Mountain, do you think it is balanced? There are wolves and snakes, but rabbits are relatively rare, so there is an incident of going down the mountain to attack the villagers, Xiao Ran is not only right, but also the Mahayana that the Buddha said, sacrificing the small self and fulfilling the big self. ”

Saying that he killed animals so righteously and awe-inspiring, I am afraid that only Yu Lanya can do it, Zhuo Liu was almost amused by the little girl's seriousness.

However, the little girl changed her words, of course, the beasts on the Seven Star Mountain destroyed the balance, and it was artificial.
