Chapter Seventy-Seven: Huigen
Huigen was lying on the bed, and the monk's robe was already scattered on him. The expression on his face was not serene, and his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.
It seems that he is facing a kind of hardship that a Buddha cannot understand.
…
After searching for three hours, all the monks in Qinglong Temple did not find Huigen.
"I even searched through the Scripture Pavilion, but I didn't see Senior Brother." A little monk said rather blankly.
Even the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and other important places in the temple have been searched, and it is conceivable that they did not hide anything in order to find Huigen.
Seeing that Jing Wan'er was about to be pushed out as the only reason.
She narrowed her eyes and was about to speak.
Suddenly, a little monk who had just cleaned the courtyard hesitated and said, "It seems... Only... Only the attic hasn't been found yet. ”
The monk who originally wanted to ask the teacher for guilt looked over one after another, and the little monk lowered his head in a little panic.
Pei Tan's eyes moved: "Since there is still a place to go, it can't be asserted that the person is missing." ”
A monk shook his head with a white face and said, "It's a forbidden place in my temple, and even we are not allowed to break in." Why did the senior brother go? ”
Jing Wan'er would not be polite to these monks, she squinted her eyes and said, "But the key is in Huigen's hands, and only he can enter." ”
This is really a death hole, and the other monks are also pale when they are said, that's right, what they said before slapped their faces, and Huigen, who can't go to the attic, can.
"That attic is a wing room prepared for nobles in the temple, so it will be taken care of by Senior Brother Huigen."
All the monks immediately looked at it, and their expressions, Pei Tan had seen too much. At this time, I still want to care about face.
Pei Tan pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Dali Temple is ordered to pick up people, since your senior brother can't find it, we should also leave for the city." ”
Let them stay here, and the temple, which has always paid attention to the rules and precepts, will also be uncomfortable.
Just look at a few monks bowing their heads, not knowing what they are discussing.
The little monk who spoke at the beginning lowered his head, he was ordered by Huigen to clean the courtyard the day before yesterday, and the stairs with a strange smell are still imprinted in the little monk's mind.
Jing Wan'er looked over, this temple was not like a place of cultivation, and none of the monks were honest.
"Don't fight anymore." A monk wearing a robe, frowning sternly, appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
These monks were taken aback and hung their heads one after another: "Uncle Xuantai." ”
This monk was polite, and first saluted Pei Tan with his hands folded, and Pei Tan also saluted him back.
Just look at this Xuantai monk and immediately look at the monks who hung their heads: "The abbot has already said that the matter of Huigen is my own business in the temple, and it should not bother outsiders." ”
Just look at Monk Xuantai and look at Pei Tan again: "The abbot has already handed over the key backup stored in his place to me, and now he will take all the donors to go." ”
Pei Tan said lightly, "Okay." ”
There is such a change, looking at this Xuantai monk wearing a Dharma robe and monk's robe, he really looks like a monk.
And the group of little monks had their uncle here, and finally stopped talking.
Jing Wan'er knew that this Xuantai must still have something to say, so she came: "Forgive the poor monk for saying bluntly, after all, it is a forbidden place in my temple, and the evil qi on the bodies of several donors is entangled, and the poor monk thinks it is more appropriate to stay here." ”
Dali Temple is on an errand, accustomed to seeing the blood debt of the soul, of course, he is angry.
Pei Tan looked at Xuantai and said for a moment: "The three of us will go with the master." "It must be appropriate to leave the ten officials with the heaviest evil spirit.
Xuantai said: "Please go with the poor monk." ”
Jing Wan'er finally had the privilege of witnessing the mystery of this attic.
But it is a whole large courtyard, and there are a few monks who have lowered their heads very much since they came in, and the robes on their bodies are the most ordinary sweeping monks. was led by this Xuantai and walked to the courtyard.
There is a monk's house in the courtyard, but it seems that no one lives in it.
Jing Wan'er suddenly saw the kind of white flowers in the courtyard.
It was the same as the kind of flower she saw next to the incense burner in front of the Buddha, and it was almost impossible for this flower to appear here.
At this time, Na Xuantai suddenly said: "Above is the attic." ”
Hyun Tai pushed open the door, only to see that the room was clean, so clean that not even a single piece of dust was touched. That Xuantai folded his hands and said something before walking in.
Jing Wan'er knew where the weirdness was, from the outside, it looked like there were at least three floors of monk's room, but the whole inside was hollow.
There was only a long wooden staircase that led to a room at the top. A large copper lock can be seen attached to the door.
"The door is locked, Senior Brother Huigen has never been here...", a little monk said subconsciously.
Xuan Tai was calmer than these little monks, "Donor, please." He stepped up the steps. Pei talked about it.
The steps are in disrepair, and the few people who step on them babble are a chaotic ensemble. At this point, if anyone was really sleeping, the room at the end of the room should have been woken up.
When I arrived at the door, the steps were narrow, and Xuan Tai stood at the front. He took out a bronze key from his monk's robe and lifted the lock on the door.
Jing Wan'er stood beside Pei Tan and heard the sound of the key from the lock, but the lock was not opened.
I saw Xuan Tai twist his eyebrows and hesitantly turn the key a few times.
Pei Tan said at this time: "What's wrong? ”
Since the key can be inserted, it naturally means that the key is correct, Xuantai turned the key again, and heard a click, Xuantai looked at the broken key in his hand in amazement.
Pei Tan's eyebrows moved, Jing Wan'er was still watching coldly, until Xuantai held the broken key in his hand and couldn't help muttering: "How can this be?" ”
Pei Tan immediately stepped forward and lifted the lock on the door to take a look, only to see that the lock hole had been blocked by a broken key.
Hyun Tai's face is not good-looking.
"The poor monk doesn't know how this happened."
Pei Tan stood in front of the door, suddenly raised a hand and gently slammed the door. "Dare to ask if anyone is in there?"
Xuan Tai said slowly: "Maybe the people inside have come out, I'll go and ask the abbot..."
"Pei County." Pei Tan looked behind him at this time, with a deep look in his eyes, "Open the door." ”
I saw that the Pei guard behind raised his head, looked indifferent, and walked up the steps. "Yes."
Monk Xuantai's face changed: "What is the donor doing here?" ”
Pei Tan looked at him: "If there is really someone inside, if you don't make a sound at this time, it means that something is wrong." ”
If something happens, it's too little to race against time.
Pei Guard had already come to the door, only to see his hand stretched out in his sleeve, and took out a cold dagger in front of all the monks, and the knife fell in his hand, and the lock on the door fell in response.
Several monks' lips turned white: "When did you bring sharp weapons into the temple, it was really disrespectful..."
Pei Guards glanced at them lightly, and before the group of monks could finish the word disrespectful, Pei Guards had already raised their feet and kicked open the attic door. Shocked all the monks.
Qinglong Temple forcibly confiscated weapons before, but in order to protect the master, how many weapons were hidden on the Pei family's body, how could others know.
An indescribable soft smell wafted out.
"Stand back, everybody!" Xuantai waved his sleeves to block the monk behind him from the door.
The smell drew attention to the room. Facing the door was a bed, lying on his stomach was obviously a monk, face down, unable to see his face, but the monk's shoes on his feet could also see his identity.
A monk trembled and shouted, "Is it Senior Brother Hui and Huigen?" ”
The figure on the bed didn't move at all when he heard the call, and he didn't know if he was asleep or something. Jing Wan'er's heart jumped, and her eyes stared at the bed.
Pei Tan swept around quietly.
It's not like the meditation room of Qinglong Temple. The eyes are full of red and gorgeous brocade quilts, and there is a discarded monk's robe in the corner. The monk's robe was mottled with a dazzling color, and it seemed to be blood.
After Hyuntae stood at the door, he was the first to walk to the bed and quickly went to see Hye-geun's situation, "Hye-geun!?" ”
Arriving in front of him, Hyuntai took two steps back.
On the back of Huigen's head, there was a scar the size of a bowl, and blood was oozing outward.
The smell they had smelled earlier was the smell of blood, the strange smell mixed with the sweet smell of the room.
Xuantai seemed to react for a moment and stretched out his hand, and his fingertips trembled before touching Huigen's neck, which was also wet. The slimy blood made Hyun Tae withdraw his hand.
There is no breathing or heartbeat, and most importantly, even the body is cold.
That is until Hyun Tae hugs Hye-geun's shoulders and flips him over from the back.
The pale monk's face is really Huigen.
A room of monks suddenly knelt down: "Senior Brother Huigen! The voice was pathetic and the face was full of haste.
Jing Wan'er opened the door, and at the first moment, she already faintly felt that something was wrong. But she couldn't believe it. Until the monk's face was really revealed.
It's Huigen.
Hyun Tae had blood in his palm, staring at Hye-geun's face, and his eyes were red.
Pei Tan walked to the corner, picked up the monk's robe, glanced at it, and said to Xuantai: "Master Xuantai, please go out first." ”
Xuan Tai was obviously immersed in sudden sadness, he looked at Pei Tan, his throat moved and said, "Forgive the poor monk for not understanding the meaning of the donor." ”
Pei Tan slowly stood up, stared at Xuantai and said, "Although I'm sorry, since there is a murder, from this moment on, it will be my Dali Temple." ”
This room is so weird that the scene should be cordoned off immediately to prevent any more people from entering.
The word murder obviously stimulated these Qing cultivators, and Xuantai's face changed even more, "Didn't the donor say that someone in my Qinglong Temple killed someone..."
Pei Tan interrupted: "Dare to ask if this is Huigen's meditation room?" ”
Xuan Tai trembled: "Naturally not." ”
Pei Tan said: "Then how to explain Huigen's appearance here. "The layout of this house can't belong to any monk of Qinglong Temple.
Could it be that after Huigen came in, he still had the ability to lock the door from the outside, causing this secret room, "The back of the head was hit, and Huigen couldn't do it alone, and after knocking him down, the person who left the locked door was the second person." ”
Pei Tan no longer paid attention to the monks, turned around and ordered Pei Guard, the only one who followed: "Immediately block the scene." It is better for everyone not to touch the corpse again. ”
