Tan Mo thought about it seriously, and began to agree with Master Lotus's words, and then he asked again: "Senior brother, as the abbot of Lotus Temple, why do you want to accept the reward for this murder?" ”

This is Tan Mo's strange from the beginning, and he bargained with that catcher.

"Little junior brother, do you think that the poor monk is not bad for money......" Master Lotus heard Tan Mo ask like this, the original relaxed smile on his face immediately turned into a bitter smile, he looked at Tan Mo with a cry and smiled, and asked, "Little junior brother, did you have any misunderstanding?" Think it's rich to be a monk? ”

Isn't it?

Tan Mo was surprised, in this world, you can still eat meat to nourish your strength, but there is no money to do it?

Master Lotus looked at Tan Mo's expression, seemed to think of something, and said: "Also, you see that the princess often comes to visit the poor monk, and she is extremely respectful to the poor monk, and the poor monk is also a well-known figure in Luowan Town, so he feels that the poor monk has an identity and is very rich, which is inevitable." ”

After speaking, Master Lotus spread out his hands, looked at Tan Mo with an extremely serious expression and said, "However, the fact is that the poor monk really has no money. ”

"You brothers and sisters are all poor monks, and the most excessive thing is that they still care about poor monks for wages. There are still more than 100 mouths waiting to eat in the outer courtyard, you say, where is the poor monk with any money left? Besides, the world is so chaotic right now, there are few pilgrims who go up the mountain to burn incense, and the temple has always been unable to make ends meet! ”

Master Lotus complained bitterly, his eyes were full of hints, and he was looking forward to Tan Mo being able to say the sentence "I don't want to be paid".

However, Tan Mo turned a blind eye, he heard the words and held his chin with his hand, deliberately showing a deep expression, and then suddenly said: "The temple can still be maintained, isn't it all thanks to the princess's reward?" ”

He remembered that every time the princess of King Teng came to the mountain to burn incense, she brought a lot of gold and silver rewards.

This is a little novice who has little knowledge in the outer courtyard, every time he can look dazzled, and then discuss it with high interest for a long time. Even when the lawyer brother saw it, he didn't scold and stop it, but interjected and discussed it together.

"Exactly." Master Lotus nodded, admitted it calmly, and then thought of something all of a sudden, looked at Tan Mo and said, "In the future, when the princess comes again, you have to be respectful." By the way, and the little county lord, you have to give way, you can't bully people, last time I took her to climb a tree, don't do it in the future, she is a county lord, it's not a country girl doll......"

Tan Mo nodded again and again, but he was a little strange in his heart, I don't know why, as soon as his senior brother mentioned the little county lord, he couldn't finish talking about it, but after thinking about it, his mother was the number one customer of the Lotus Temple, and the whole temple relied on his mother for food, so he understood a little.

If there is no desire, it is rigid.

If you have an idea, you will be a monk, and you will also get the appearance.

"Senior brother, don't worry." Tan Mo clasped his hands together.

Master Lotus nodded when he saw that he had almost said it.

"Senior brother, I still have a question."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Senior brother, how did you know that the fisherman had recovered the body?"

"Think about it carefully, little junior brother, you should not only pay more attention to everything, but also use your brain more, this matter is easy to figure out, and the rest will have to accumulate experience." Master Lotus didn't answer this time, he stood up and walked forward, and said as he went, "You stay here to rest, and I'll come when I go." ”

Tan Mo clasped his hands together, answered yes, and then sat down cross-legged like Master Lotus just now.

There is a rock under the shade of this tree, just right for sitting.

However, Tan Mo didn't think about it carefully according to what Master Lotus said, because he had already understood it when the fisherman answered him, and he asked this, but he suddenly realized that his current body was only eight years old, and his behavior was normal, but if his mind seemed demonic...... Then it will really be regarded as a demon, and then immersed in the pig cage.

was mistaken for a white bone heart under carelessness before, and this kind of luck can not be repeated.

The fisherman replied too eagerly. This was the reason for Tan Mo's suspicions, and before he finished asking, the fisherman was in a hurry to answer.

This is usually a state of mind that arises when you are anxious to get rid of the relationship.

However, he didn't have the experience of Master Lotus, so he was only suspicious and didn't make a more appropriate judgment.

Tan Mo began to chant the scriptures.

Such is a mantra.

The pattern in his eyes has been showing that Guanquan plus this scripture can give him a 99% success rate and become a person in the Nine Xuanzhong.

After repeating the scriptures several times, Tan Mo got up and practiced boxing.

The highest level of Guanquan is Guanyin, cultivating into Bodhisattva Boxing, which is what Tan Mo can't do. His boxing style is very rigid, one move and one style, and he will only follow the order of action.

If you want to boxing from the heart, you can only practice more, practice makes perfect, and then use your brain more in actual combat to respond to all changes.

When Master Lotus came back, Tan Mo had just finished practicing Guan Boxing, and couldn't help nodding slightly, but he didn't praise Tan Mo, but just said, "Come with me, I know who the dead person is." ”

"Senior brother, who is it?" Tan Mo asked directly.

"This person's name is Lin Shoutian, and he is not a big person, but he has an older sister, who is an anti-king wife. Because he felt that he was not a material to lead troops to fight, after making a big mistake, he directly left his subordinates and ran to Ningjia County to hide, trying to escape his brother-in-law's punishment. ”

After his brother-in-law found out, he read in front of his sister, did not chase and kill him, and let him live in peace in Ningjia County. Lin Shoutian's appearance is not very good, he is old, and he is lame, but he just wants to find a young and beautiful daughter-in-law, so he found a matchmaker and asked him to tell him about marriage. ”

"The matchmaker is also difficult, Lin Shoutian's requirements are not low, and most people are designated to look down on them, but how can those good people be willing to let their daughters go into the fire pit? In the end, he found him someone who came from other places and was divorced. Oh, by the way, this divorce is a new name, which probably means that it is equivalent to being divorced. When Master Lotus said this, he seemed to be afraid that Tan Mo would not understand, so he deliberately explained.

Tan Momu grimaced and nodded.

Master Lotus continued: "Although she has been divorced once, that woman is as beautiful as a flower, and she can speak well, and she has only met twice, which makes Lin Shoutian dig out his heart and lungs, and he chatters every day. After the woman agreed, Lin Shoutian began to arrange the marriage, and then ...... Lin Shoutian died. ”

"Lin Shoutian's body, when it was found, was in the next town, but only half. Because it was found in the river, the catchers quickly followed the current and searched upwards to find the other half. ”

As soon as Master Lotus said, Tan Mo said without thinking: "Senior brother, do you suspect that the reason why Lin Shoutian's body is missing by half is because of the fisherman?" ”

This is exactly in line with Master Lotus's previous speculation about the fisherman.

Master Lotus shook his head.

"Who's that?"

"We'll find out tonight."

Seeing that Master Lotus was pretending to be mysterious, Tan Mo didn't ask any questions, but said, "Senior brother, do you suspect that you killed Lin Shoutian, the beautiful woman who was divorced once?" ”

If not, Master Lotus didn't need to describe the woman so much.

This time, Master Lotus nodded.

Tan Mo didn't have anything to ask, so he didn't speak again, and quietly followed behind Master Lotus, and then found that Master Lotus went straight to a house and asked someone to buy a chicken.

Although the family was strange about the monk buying the chicken, because it was Master Lotus in person, they didn't ask much, and enthusiastically asked if they wanted to help slaughter the chicken.

Master Lotus shook his head and took Tan Mo to a wasteland outside the town. You can still see the traces of the fields in this place, but the land is too barren, and after planting and dying, it is abandoned.

On this wasteland, you can see a large area of dead weeds, and even if they are alive, their roots and leaves are pitch black.

It's like poisoning.

By the time Master Lotus stopped, it was already a little dark.

Then, Tan Mo saw two broken stone statues.

These two stone statues lie on a small dirt slope. There are some well-layered traces of this dirt slope, which seems to have been once a staircase, and it looks like some kind of large tomb. And this and the two stone statues, because they are too broken, I can't see what this carving is, but I can still see clearly that on these two stone statues, there is one word each, which is "Liang" and "Zhu".

Even if the wind and rain blow and the traces eroded by the years are all over the stone statue, these two words are still clear.

Master Lotus placed the chicken in the middle of the two stone statues, and with a flick of his finger, the chicken's neck was broken, and a faint smell of blood permeated.

"Cluck, cluck."

After a few crows, the chicken stopped fluttering.

Master Lotus stretched out his hand, raised two fingers, and made a few strokes.

There is actually a faint green qi, floating in the fingertips of the lotus master, like a small green snake, walking up and down, very demonic.

Then, with a loud click, the dirt slope beneath his feet shook violently, and a large hole was opened in the middle.

A foul-smelling wind blew from the crack.

Tan Mo didn't stand firm and almost fell in, but fortunately, Master Lotus grabbed him quickly and quickly retreated. The whole person was like a swallow, and he floated out of the distance with Tan Mo before landing.

Then, Tan Mo heard the voices of a man and a woman coming from that crack.

"Who is offering an offering?"

"But if you ask for something, human life is a sacrifice!"
