Zen Nian was kicked to his knees.

When the rest of the monks saw this, they all showed anger on their faces, and Hula suddenly surrounded us, glaring at us angrily, and they were a little risky to rush up and beat us.

But as soon as Zen Nian raised his hand, he stopped them, did not get up, and knelt on the ground, folded his hands, and closed his eyes to chant sutras.

His posture of leading the neck to kill made me stunned, and I couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

How can a person who can not even want his life be a murderer who murders the abbot for the sake of power?

But I didn't say a word, and swept my knife and slashed at his neck.

There was no warning at all, it was fast, it was so fast, it changed places, and if someone swung it at me like this, I would have dodged.

But until the blade was against Zen Nian's neck, he didn't make any moves.

The other monks exclaimed in surprise and rushed up to fight with me, all of them red-faced, and their anger was not false.

Seeing that my long knife stopped, these monks stopped moving, and a few who rushed up with their eyes closed were kicked to the ground by poplars.

I had even more doubts in my heart, and stared at Zen Nian: "I'll just ask you, why do you insist that I killed Zen Xin." ”

Zen Nian sneered: "If you want to kill, you can kill, why bother to behave." ”

Having said that, he took out a broken knife from his bosom and threw it on the ground.

Poplar and I looked at each other, both of us a little stunned, and Poplar picked up the broken knife and handed it to me.

I frowned and looked closely, this broken knife looked exactly the same as the boning knife I made myself, both the forging method and the material weight were almost to the point of being fake, if it weren't for the word Yang Lin engraved on the handle, I would almost have lost my eyes.

I would never engrave my full name on a knife, it would be a false accusation.

Looking at this broken knife, I vaguely felt that in the night, it seemed as if an invisible net was coming down towards me.

"Where did you find this?"

"In the chest of the former abbot."

I suddenly realized, no wonder when I first came to the Big Buddha Temple, Zen is a lukewarm attitude, it turned out that at that time he had already decided that I was a murderer, the reason why I didn't turn my face on the spot, I'm afraid it was because I didn't leave my certainty, so I chose to forbear.

I guess since I appeared, they have already assembled the Jizo Great Array to prevent me from going and returning.

I was horrified in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face, but said lightly: "You also believe such an obvious false accusation?" No matter how stupid I am, I will not leave a murder weapon engraved with my name engraved on the scene. ”

Unexpectedly, these monks didn't believe my words at all.

Zen Nian replied coldly: "I'm afraid you didn't expect that this half-cut knife could be preserved, right?" ”

"The former abbot did not hesitate to fall and completely pierced it into his body, so that this half was saved, and the upper half has long been missing."

Seeing him so stubborn, I was a little annoyed: "You have also cultivated to the Holy Realm, why are you so confused, even if you want to charge me with a crime, you can't convict me just with a broken knife, right?" ”

"Not to mention anything else, if I want to kill Zen Xin, at least there must be a motive, you tell me, what reason do I have to kill him?"

"What's more, if I kill him, it will be enough to use a knife, so why set it on fire, isn't that an extra move?"

As I spoke, I sheathed the broken waves and put them in my backpack.

My attitude finally made Zen Nian hesitate.

"Then why did the donor go and come back? Dive in at night! ”

I rolled my eyes: "Why didn't you tell me about the fire in the Guanyin Temple?" ”

Zen Nian seemed a little weak-hearted, and his voice was a little lower: "I wanted to test the donor, to see if the donor would take the initiative to mention this matter, we have been keeping the news of the fire in the Guanyin Hall strictly confidential, if the donor is not the murderer, it is impossible to know." ”

I snorted disapprelicly: "It seems that you are not doing a good job of secrecy. ”

"Lao Tzu still suspects that you usurped power and killed the abbot of Zen Xin, he is a friend of our credit knife man, we can't let him die unclear, I learned from other places that your words are not true, of course I have to go again to find out!"

After speaking, I waved my hand to him: "You better get up first, Lao Tzu can't afford your big gift." ”

Zen Nian hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up.

I secretly said in my heart that it was dangerous, it seems that all this is a misunderstanding, if it wasn't for the face-to-face confront, I almost fell into the trap of the murderer.

This trap is actually not rigorous, it should just be the murderer's hand, if it can work, you can provoke the relationship between the knife man and the Buddhism, even if it is exposed, there is no loss to him.

I threw the broken knife to Zen Nian: "You can keep this thing, tell me what happened that day in detail, no matter who the murderer is, I believe that sooner or later I can find him out." ”

Zen Nian was about to put away the broken knife carefully, and apologized for saluting me.

"It's the poor monk who made a preconceived mistake, if this matter really comes to light, our temple will definitely apologize to Lord Yang."

Listen to him, and he still refuses to fully trust me.

However, facts speak louder than words, our brothers not only beat him to the brink just now, but also broke their Jizo array, but they didn't take advantage of the victory to embarrass them, so he had to calm down and listen to my analysis.

To put it bluntly, on the rivers and lakes, strength is still supreme, and whoever has a big fist will have the opportunity to speak.

If Yang Shu and I were captured by them today, it would be difficult for me to move this stubborn meditation thought, even if I had a lotus tongue.

Still, I can't blame him anymore, after all, I misunderstood people, didn't I?

What's more, although Zen Xin was not killed by me, most of them were implicated by me and died, and it is my duty to avenge Zen Xin.

"Poplar, return the tin staff to Master Zen Nian."

Unexpectedly, when Yang Shu heard this, he actually stiffened his neck and asked, "Why?" Don't give! ”

As he spoke, he hid the tin staff behind him, as if he was afraid that someone would rob him of his toy.

Looking at his expression, it was clearly written on his face: I robbed something with my ability, why should I pay him back?

I couldn't help twitching the corners of my mouth: "Hurry up and give it to others!" ”

"I won't give it!"

When he said this, he dotted his left foot and kicked the ground with his right foot, and he had already put on a posture of slipping away when he saw that the situation was not good.

I'm embarrassed, do you want me to say in front of others that this is an heirloom in someone's temple, let's grab it and play it, can't we just give it back? That's too much of a slap in the face.

"This weight is too light, Brother Hui promises to give you a pair of purple gold hammers."

I felt like a parent, coaxing a cheating child.

What I didn't expect was that when Yang Shu heard this, he didn't think about it, and quickly threw the tin staff to Zen Nian, and then looked at me with a wicked smile: "Words count!" I'm not greedy, I don't want all purple gold, one hundred and sixty pounds of copper are beaten into a pair and plated with purple gold! ”

I swallowed and swallowed a mouthful of old blood before I barely squirted it out on the spot.

Dare to love this kid who has dug a hole for me a long time ago, just waiting for me to jump in by myself!

Even the weight and workmanship have been thought about, if you want to say that he was not premeditated, who would believe it?

But at the moment, Lao Tzu didn't have time to worry about this with him, so he had to hum, and then turned to Zen.

"Don't worry, you can send this tin rod to my shop when you go back, and I can restore it to its original state."

Zen Nian was holding the tin staff, looking at the broken mouth on it with a distressed face, and after hearing my words, he hurriedly handed the tin staff to the disciples around him, and then shook it at me to the end: "Yang Huishou Gaoyi, I have heard that the credit knife man is good at forging, if you can see it, it is really an honor." ”

He did not give Buddhist salutes, but bowed and thanked the rivers and lakes, and his attitude was obviously much closer than before.

This also shows the importance of this tin rod to him and to the Big Buddha Temple.

"You're welcome, the treasure of the Big Buddha Temple, how can it be destroyed in my hands. The master should first tell me about the fire in the Guanyin Temple. ”

"Please come with me."

Meditation led the way, and we re-entered the Guanyin Temple.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is also known as Guanyin Dashi, so Guanyin Hall can also be called Dashi Temple, because it is the first Bodhisattva of the Western Elysium, representing the Buddha's compassion and compassion, so it can also be called the Great Compassion Altar, in any temple, Guanyin Hall has an extremely important position, so the monks in charge of the Guanyin Hall are often important monks in the temple.

The monk in charge of the Guanyin Hall of the Great Buddha Temple is the master of Zen Hai, a high monk whose strength is second only to Zen heart.

If you talk about the cultivation of Buddhism alone, Chan Hai can even be said to be the first person in the whole temple.

On the night of the accident, Chan Hai did not go back to his meditation room as usual, as if he had expected it, but insisted on staying in the temple to meditate and chant until midnight.

When I heard Zen Nian talk about this, I couldn't help but interject and ask, "Why did he expect it?" ”

Zen Nian sighed: "That afternoon, his Buddha beads broke for no reason, but he did not re-wear them, but borrowed the Buddha beads of the former abbot...... Unfortunately, we didn't pay attention to it at the time, and it wasn't until we looked back after the accident that we realized that something was wrong. ”

I nodded, the Buddha beads are all carry-on things, most of the people in the Buddhist sect do not leave the beads, usually there is no reason to borrow, Zen Hai's move is indeed abnormal. If this is just a coincidence, then why did Chan Hai not go back to the meditation room and insist on meditating in the Guanyin Temple?

I asked, "Where is Master Zen Hai's meditation room?" ”

Zen Nian replied: "There is only one wall between the meditation room and the former abbot. ”

I nodded, roughly getting the outline of the matter.

I suspect that Zen Hai foresaw that something might happen to the Zen heart, so he borrowed the Buddha beads that condensed the Zen heart, and did not return to the Zen room next to the Zen heart's residence, but rested in the Guanyin Temple, and had the heart to block this catastrophe for the Zen heart.

But he obviously didn't expect this catastrophe to be so unstoppable, although he intervened and lost his life, but the murderer still found Zen Xin.

"Who else was here that night but Zen Hai?"

"The other person is his descendant disciple Long Fei."

Zen Nian sighed again: "Long Fei is the seventy-third generation disciple of our temple, the best of the existing two generations of disciples, in terms of the strength of the rivers and lakes to define the law, it should be the peak of the true realm, the former abbot once said that within three years, Long Fei will definitely be able to enter the sainthood." ”

I was secretly shocked in my heart, a half-step Saint Realm, two Saint Realm powerhouses, fell one after another overnight, such a blow is fatal to any sect, no wonder the Great Buddha Temple will be suspicious of me, after all, there are really not many people who can do this, and I happen to be the most popular one among these people.
