Several pairs of eyes focused on Abbot's face at the same time.

The beads in the hands of the abbot of Xiu Neng suddenly stopped turning.

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, his face was as white as paper, and his eyes began to wander and dodge.

An indisputable fact is in front of you!

This string of beads was awarded to Zen Master Kongyun ten years ago by the abbot of Xiuneng, and the case of the mysterious deaths of Ge Zhenggen and Liu Abao occurred fifteen years ago.

If there is a problem, it must be the abbot of Xiuneng.

The two crystal Buddha beads found at the scene of the crime, and the crystal beads awarded to Zen Master Kongyun by the abbot of Xiuneng happened to have two wooden Buddha beads that were fake.

This is the overlap of materials and figures, which cannot be explained by coincidence!

"Abbot Xiuneng, can you give you a reasonable explanation?" Zhao Zimeng said.

Abbot Xiuneng put the bracelet on the coffee table, wiped it on his head a few times with his sleeve, then stood up, walked to the wooden bowl, picked up two Buddhist beads from the water, turned them over, and looked at them many times.

Zhao Zimeng watched Abbot Xiuneng's movements and expression, and he was waiting for Abbot Xiuneng's answer.

"Abbot Xiuneng, we are handling the case, and we are talking about evidence, the two crystal Buddha beads found next to Liu Abao's corpse, and there are just two crystal beads missing from your hanging beads. Could there be such a coincidence in the world? Excuse me, how do you explain this? Zhao Zimeng saw Abbot Xiuneng standing there and was stunned, and asked bluntly.

This question relieved Abbot Xiuneng, who put the two Buddha beads in the bowl and helped him to sit down on the meditation bed.

"Captain Zhao, the old man can't explain it, before the old man gave this string of hanging beads to Kong Yun, this string of Buddhist beads has indeed been hanging on the old man's neck."

"This is the Dharma weapon passed on to me by the abbot of Qingfeng, the old decay cherishes it very much, and the Buddha beads on it have never fallen off, as for why this is so, the old decay does not know."

Abbot Xiuneng could no longer handle it calmly at this time, and when he spoke, his facial muscles trembled vigorously, obviously unable to control himself.

"Captain Zhao, the abbot of Xiu Neng is a monk in the third year of the poor monk going up the mountain, the poor monk knows him very well, and the monks in the temple do not respect or love him, he has been practicing for decades, and he is dedicated to the Buddha. As for this string of crystal Buddha beads, there must have been a problem when the abbot Qingfeng passed it on to the abbot of Xiuneng. Zen Master Kongyun suddenly defended the abbot.

"The empty clouds have a lot to say, and the old man has nothing to say...... The old man couldn't clear his suspicions...... "Abbot Xiu Neng only felt that the world was spinning, supported his head with his hand, leaned against the table and sighed.

"Abbot Xiuneng, don't get excited. The jury is still out. We found this strange thing about the Buddha beads, and we raised this question in order to get more confirmation and facts, and did not conclude that you are the murderer in this case. ”

Zhao Zimeng saw that Abbot Xiu Neng was emotional, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

"Captain Zhao, in the Cold Moon Temple, in addition to the abbot of Xiuneng who has crystal beads, there is also a supervisor of admonition. His crystal beads were also awarded to him by the abbot of Qingfeng. Jiecheng died of illness after that overhaul, and the poor monk felt that the problem should lie with Jiecheng. "Zen Master Kongyun said.

"Oh?" Zhao Zimeng wanted to hear the opinion of the old monk who guarded the door.

"Besides, you can't do such a big thing by admonishing Cheng alone, the poor monk thinks, you should try to find his apprentice Fa Zhengzhi." Zen Master Kongyun continued.

"Since Fa Zheng was carried into the Cold Moon Temple, he has been inseparable from the commandment. I didn't expect Fa Zheng to leave the temple, and the poor monk felt a little strange. The temple fed him, and the people who raised him were buried in the cemetery in the back mountain, and he couldn't repay the kindness of the temple in his life. "Zen Master Kongyun, who has always been kind, was a little furious when he said about Fazheng.

"Kongyun, who is Jiecheng, you know better than me, don't say it if you have no reason or basis. Moreover, the commandments have been made ancient. As for the Fazheng, who stipulates that the monasteries in the temple cannot go down the mountain, and the Buddha is merciful and comes and goes freely, no one can say anything. The Zen Master raised his head tremblingly, and said weakly.

"The poor monk could not see that the abbot had suffered such an injustice. Isn't the Fa Zheng still alive? The abbot is good at everything, but the Buddha's heart is too heavy, but he doesn't know that people have good and evil. Zen Master Kongyun retorted.

Abbot Xiuneng understood Kongyun's kindness, and he comforted Kongyun and said, "Kongyun, Captain Zhao, they are just investigating, and if there is any doubt, they naturally have to ask to understand." ”

He immediately turned to Zhao Zimeng and said resolutely: "Captain Zhao, since you can find Liu Abao's body, you will definitely be able to find the murderer." Regarding these two crystal Buddha beads, Lao Yu really couldn't prove his innocence. When the old man enters the temple, he will put the honor and disgrace of life and death aside, no matter how you send the old decay, the old decay has no two words. ”

"Abbot, you ......" Kong Yun saw that the abbot of Xiu Neng was resolute, and he was speechless for a while.

Also at the end of the conversation were Zhao Zimeng and his teammates, who were also calmed by the attitude of the abbot of Xiuneng.

At this time, Zhao Zimeng's little blessing machine suddenly rang.

Zhao Zimeng took out the small blessing machine from his bag, glanced at the abbot of Xiu Neng and Zen Master Kongyun, and then walked out of the meditation room.

"I'm Zhao Zimeng, may I ask who you are?" Zhao Zimeng whispered.

"Captain Zhao, I'm Jiang Zihai!"

"Master Jiang, hello!" Zhao Zimeng was a little pleased: Jiang Zihai took the initiative to call, he must have remembered something important.

This trip to Guangpu Xiutian was too hasty, and Zhao Zimeng did not have time to fully communicate with Jiang Zihai, Cao Lianzhu, Xu Tongsuo and He Daniu.

"Captain Zhao, after you left, He Daniu and I remembered something, thought about it again, and felt that we should call and talk to you."

"Thank you very much Master Jiang, you and I have never lived in life, Master Jiang can take our affairs to heart, thank you very much. Where did Master Jiang call me? ”

Wanghe Temple should not have a telephone, and it is unlikely that Jiang Zihai will have a telephone.

"I made the call from Xiutian County." The background sound on the other end of the phone is a bit noisy.

"Xiutian County is not a short road away from Wanghe Temple, and Master Jiang has worked hard."

Zhao Zimeng went to Wanghe Temple this time, and the car used to pass through Xiutian County, and from Xiutian County to Wanghe Temple, the car drove for 40 minutes.

"It's not hard, the case is a big deal, no matter how far it goes, I have to go."

"Master Jiang, what did you and Master He think of?"

"Captain Zhao, you once told me that in the Cold Moon Temple, a masked man in black once appeared in the middle of the night."

"yes, that's what we said, they're probably looking for something."

"Do these people know martial arts?"

"Yes, it's said that the skills are good, and it's a bit evil."

"Then did Captain Zhao find a monk who knows martial arts in the Cold Moon Temple?"

"No, we asked several old Zen masters, and they all said that they didn't know who knew martial arts, and they never saw anyone who practiced martial arts."

"I'm talking about a person, but I'm just talking about things, and this person doesn't have to be a masked man in black."

"Master Jiang, please speak." Zhao Zimeng walked a few steps towards the courtyard, and at the same time spoke in a lower voice.

To the east of the temple, there are more than a dozen ginkgo trees. Zhao Zimeng walked under a ginkgo tree.

"Hmm...... The abbot of Xiu Neng seems to ...... Martial arts. ”

"Really?" Zhao Zimeng's heart "chuckled", and when he looked back, he saw the abbot of Xiuneng sitting on the meditation bed in the window.

After this meeting, the abbot's mind had calmed down, he closed his eyes slightly, and the Buddha beads in his hand began to rotate normally.

When the abbot of Xiuneng flatly denied it, and Zhao Zimeng was difficult to continue, Jiang Zihai's call came too timely.

Just relying on the crystal Buddha beads left by the two murderers in the secret passage, it really can't explain anything, and besides, isn't the person with the crystal bead still having a supervisor of admonition!

"How did Master Jiang know?"

"In that overhaul, Abbot Xiuneng and Supervisor Jiecheng told me that when the overhaul is about to end, let's clean up the eaves and tiles on the Linggu Tower, and then paint the doors and windows. I thought to myself, instead of doing it near the end, it would be better to do it in tandem with the repairs in other places. ”

"One morning, my apprentice He Da Niu and I went to Linggu Pagoda to see how to build scaffolding. At that time, the two of us went up to the ninth floor, and we were tired, so we went to the south window and looked down. Standing on the tower, the meditation room and trees in the abbot's temple are clear at a glance. ”

This Zhao Zimeng has a personal experience, he has also climbed to the ninth floor of the Linggu Tower, where you can not only see the abbot Zen Temple, but also the entire Cold Moon Temple.

"You see the abbot of Xiu Neng practicing?" Zhao Zimeng asked.

"That's right, we saw the abbot practicing, but only this time. After we started scaffolding, we never saw him practice again. ”

Now recalling the plausible words of Zen Master Puji, Zhao Zimeng finally had some new enlightenment.

If it is really as Jiang Zihai said, this abbot of cultivation can hide very deeply!

Even the Puji Zen Master didn't know that the abbot of Xiu Neng knew kung fu!

No wonder Zen Master Puji speaks in a secretive and flashing way!

Just now, Zen Master Kongyun was even speaking for the abbot of Xiu Neng. It is said that he is "too heavy on the Buddha's heart" and is a person who is "dedicated to the Buddha".

"Have you seen what skills the abbot practiced and what weapons were used, such as swords or something?"

"What kind of skill he is practicing, I don't know — I don't know that."

"I only saw that he was using a nine-section whip, but it wasn't exactly like it. I've seen nine-section whips, there are nine sections in total, they are metal, and when they are played, they make a 'crackling' sound, and the nine-section whip of the abbot of Xiu Neng is not like metal, and when he plays, we can only hear the sound of 'whoosh-whoosh'. ”

"Do you remember, how did he play it?"

"There are a dozen ginkgo trees in the yard, as well as a few pines and cypresses. He waved that whip between a dozen trees, landing his feet on this tree, on that tree, on the air, and on the ground. There's a word that says, yes, 'light as a swallow', and that's what I mean. ”

"The head of his whip was like a snake's head, and it scurried to this tree at one time, and then to that tree. And his skills are not inferior to young people, if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't have believed that he was an old man. ”

Listening to Jiang Zihai's narration on the other end of the phone, Zhao Zimeng looked up and saw more than a dozen ginkgo trees in front of him at the moment.

There are also a few craggy pines and cypresses interspersed among these trees.

Zhao Zimeng's mind suddenly flashed the scene of the abbot of Xiu Neng flying around practicing on these dozen trees.

Are those legendary masked men in black who fly on the wall......
