Suddenly, a loud bell rang, and it was obvious that this loud voice could be heard in Qinglong Temple.

The monks all put on their robes and hurried in one direction.

"We'll go too." As soon as Pei Tan's figure moved, Jing Wan'er reacted and immediately followed, at least she had to see Huigen's burial with her own eyes.

Although the group of monks still did not welcome the expressions of the people in Dali Temple, today was a big day for their senior brother Huigen, and they would not make trouble at this time.

The place where Huigen was sent away, in Sifangin, was the largest open space in the temple.

Even so, the only people who can come to see Huigen off are the old monks of the elder teacher and uncle of the temple. Among them is Xuantai.

When Jing Wan'er and the others arrived, there was a man in white standing at the door of the square courtyard.

"Thank you, Lord Wang, who also came to send the apprentice." Master Xuanlian put on a robe for the first time and was looking at Li Xiuqi opposite.

Li Xiuqi's expression was out of sight with his back to him, but after a while, he walked into the courtyard.

And Master Xuanlian soon saw Pei Tan, and the two looked at each other for a long time.

In the courtyard, Huigen's whole body was wrapped in a white cloth from top to bottom, and a robe covered his body.

It's really like the essence is clean and clean, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust.

Jing Wan'er bit her lower lip, a ritual like this usually can't be seen at all, it's really that kind of sadness is overwhelming.

If you are watching your loved ones be buried... Jing Wan'er was dumbfounded.

Master Xuanlian, supported by the two little monks, walked to the altar, and he brushed the body of Huigen with the willow branch in his hand.

In the jade bottle of Guanyin, the willow branches are used to purify the world, and the willow branches are used in the Buddha's home to purify the living souls. The surrounding monks silently recited the scriptures, and the corners of Jing Wan'er's eyes tingled a little.

"Huigen, may you re-enter my Buddha Gate in the next life." Master Xuanlian said.

There are monks around, holding six freshly picked lotus flowers, and placing them around Huigen.

Huigen wants to be cremated, which is the red lotus karmic fire that the Buddhists last talked about that can burn all the time.

Jing Wan'er squeezed Pei Tan's palm blankly.

Pei Tan moved slightly and glanced at her.

Xuan Lian personally straightened Huigen's clothes and said, "Send him away." ”

At this time, Jing Wan'er felt that Pei Tan was looking at Master Xuanlian, and Xuanlian also seemed to see it, so she seemed to bow slightly to Pei Tan.

Jing Wan'er could suddenly understand Pei Tan's current heart, so she wanted to know what Master Xuanlian's mood was.

Xuantai said sadly: "I can't imagine that the fate of Senior Brother Huigen and this earthly world is so short, I hope he can rest in peace by the Buddha's side." ”

Jing Wan'er felt an extremely bright flash of fire in front of her eyes, and then she felt Pei Tan's hand clench obviously hard.

She had always thought that Pei Tan was not nervous, and looked at him in surprise at this time.

At this time, it is really irretrievable, and it is difficult to recover.

The flames illuminated the faces of everyone present clearly. The torch in the hand of the law enforcement monk ignited the wooden branch below.

This is really the most aggrieved case handled by Dali Temple, and even Jing Wan'er feels that her chest is very blocked.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

The monk who was lighting the fire was shocked.

"The holy decree has arrived, Dali Temple Qing Pei Tan listens to the decree!" I saw two hurried monks on the road outside the courtyard, leading a person wearing palace costumes, walking quickly towards the courtyard.

And the man was holding a roll of bright yellow things in his hand, and those who often stayed in the palace naturally knew at a glance what it was.

When this person stepped on the Sifang Courtyard, before everyone had time to react, Pei Tan just glanced at it, and saw that Pei Guard had already leaped into the air.

Jing Wan'er only saw a sword light, the fire that had just been ignited had been ruthlessly cut off, and the spark had only had time to roll on the ground a few times before it was extinguished.

The monk who had just lit the fire, the blade was so close to him that it almost cut off his face.

His face turned pale, and he stared at Pei Guard, "You, how dare you..."

And at this time, the monks in the courtyard couldn't ask the teacher at all, because the person wearing the palace man's uniform had already come to the front.

Pei Tan flicked his sleeves and knelt down, "Minister Pei Tan listens to the order." ”

The person who received the decree was in the courtyard, and the herald glanced at it, and immediately unfolded the holy decree and began to read: "The edict said, I have already learned of what happened in the Qinglong Temple, which is known as the first Buddhist temple in the Tang Dynasty, preaching the supreme Buddhism, but this bloody light happened. I was furious, and strictly ordered Pei Tan, the secretary of Dali Temple, to investigate the murder case of Qinglong Temple in detail, and report back to the palace as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes. ”

This holy decree came suddenly, and the decree was passed quickly, and when the last word was recited, there were still monks who did not react and hurriedly knelt down.

After that, the herald put away the holy decree and stared at Pei Tan.

Pei Tan raised his head slowly, "Yes, Minister Pei Tan is willing to share worries for the king." ”

The herald handed the holy decree in his hand to Pei Tan.

The people of Qinglong Temple, including Master Xuanlian, no one spoke in the courtyard.

"Please Pei Siqing come closer, Your Majesty has one more sentence to say." The herald's expression was gloomy.

Pei Tan's eyes moved, he glanced at him slowly, got up and approached.

I only heard the faintness between the lips and teeth of the herald, and it was like a breathless wind, "Your Majesty said that he knows who caused this incident and how it got to this point. So if you can't find the real murderer, Lord Siqing, you have to let Jing Wan'er apologize for her guilt with death. ”

Pei Tan suddenly looked up at the herald.

But seeing that the other party was cold, it was just a script, no matter how ruthless the sentence was, it was just a message for the Son of Heaven behind him.

Pei Tan felt a lot of unexplained gazes behind him, like a thorn in his back.

"Minister... Command. Pei Tan finally spoke slowly.

Several elders of the Qinglong Temple closed their eyes.

Pei Tan got up, and everyone behind him also got up. The herald came in a hurry, and after the proclamation, he waved his sleeves and left mercilessly.

The entire Qinglong Temple is in the sky, as if leaving a dark cloud.

At this moment, looking at the fire branch that was cut off by Pei Guard's merciless knife, the meaning of this knife is not only here.

Jing Wan'er's gaze also looked at Pei Tan. Pei Tan didn't seem to see it, but just walked towards the group of monks including Xuan Lian.

Huigen's body was carried down from the top of the haystack, but the monks around him all bowed their heads, and no one dared to show any emotion.

Pei Tan said: "Continue to store the corpse in the ice cellar, Pei County, you go and guard it." ”

Pei Guard's sword was put back into its sheath, and his eyes were cold. It was the monk who was staring at the altar.

Pei Tan walked in front of Master Xuanlian: "I can only ask Qinglong Temple to continue to cooperate with Dali Temple's investigation." ”

Master Xuanlian clasped his hands together and looked quiet.

Now Pei Tan's words are another layer of holy decree, even if Qinglong Temple boasts of transcendent status, even the abbot himself does not dare to say anything against it at this moment.

"I'm sorry." Pei Tan looked at the monks in the courtyard.

At the gate of the courtyard, Li Xiuqi turned around and left here without saying a word. Even when the decree was delivered just now, Jing Wan'er forgot to see what the state of the prince was at that time.

——

When Jing Wan'er returned to the courtyard with Pei Tan, she looked at Pei Tan's expression, maybe she had been together for a long time, and she could see a little difference from that faint face.

She remembered the hand that was holding her. "What did the herald say to your lordship? Wan'er saw that the adult's expression was different. ”

It was precisely because Pei Tan was a moody person that the shock of that moment was imprinted in Jing Wan'er's eyes.

If Pei Tan knew in advance that the holy decree would come, he wouldn't have to be nervous, so today's holy decree really came in time.

Pei Tan glanced at her: "It's just a little bit, Huigen can't be saved." ”

When Jing Wan'er heard this, she looked at Pei Tan's face: "My lord didn't think about it, if the content of the holy decree is to let the adult stop investigating this case, then Pei Guard's guard interrupted Huigen's return ceremony, how can he explain to Qinglong Temple?" ”

Fortunately, the content of the holy decree was biased towards Dali Temple, but before the moment the decree was read out by the herald, Pei Tan did not have the ability to predict to judge, he was just gambling.

Jing Wan'er felt that she knew Pei Tan so well.

Pei Tan looked at her and said for a while: "Dali Temple is given the right to cut first and then play, and the greater the power, the same risk is often the same. ”

Jing Wan'er understood that he was willing to take this risk himself.

Jing Wan'er lowered her eyes, "But Your Majesty... How could you agree to investigate? ”

Because of the uncertain factors of Li Xiuqi and Qinglong Temple, Pei Tan and Dali Temple only felt that when the news was transmitted back to Chang'an, Zhongzong was very likely to let Dali Temple suppress this matter.

Perhaps with this in mind, Dali Temple tried its best to investigate in the past three days.

Even when she saw the branches under Huigen being ignited, Jing Wan'er thought that the case was hopeless.

Maybe they are in Qinglong Temple, and they don't know the situation in Chang'an City or even Daming Palace at this moment, and her doubts are also here.

Pei Tan shouldn't be blindly gambling, and taking big risks is not Pei Tan's style, so Jing Wan'er wants to know what he thinks. He had somewhat guessed the odds of today's event happening, even if it was very small.

"Because in that Daming Palace, it is not only Your Majesty who can call the shots." Pei Tan knew the girl's guess, "Or it's not just Your Majesty." ”
