Chapter 36: The Man Who Steals the Scriptures
Li Xiaodao watched the abbot of Xinhu inspect everyone one by one, his face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but smile: "Why is the abbot like this, if you ask, someone will speak?" Besides, I wasn't told about it. ”
Bai Xiaosheng said coldly: "No one told you, how did you know?" ”
Li Xiaodao had a smile in his eyes and stared at Bai Xiaosheng: "You are known as Bai Xiaosheng, and you say that you know everything about martial arts, and you know everything, so how do you know those things." ”
Without waiting for him to answer, Li Xiaodao continued: "However, you may be worse than me, because you don't know who did this now, and I know." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Bai Xiaosheng's heart was beating tightly, and his eyes stared at Li Xiaodao uncertainly.
The abbot of Xinhu immediately blurted out: "Do you know who stole the seven scriptures. ”
Li Xiaodao glanced at the few Shaolin monks in front of him at this time, and several of the monks he had seen were the first Shaolin monks, and they all shook their faces at this time.
The heart pet was annoyed and angry at this time, and shouted: "Abbot, how can we trust such a person." ”
Li Xiaodao suddenly looked in one direction and asked, "You can not believe my words, but don't you believe the words of the Xinmei monk?" ”
The heart pet suddenly heard Xinmei's name, and a cool breath rushed behind him, and he said with a white face: "What nonsense are you talking about...... Xinmei, Xinmei Senior Brother has passed away. ”
Li Xiaodao laughed: "Dead people can't speak?" ”
Suddenly, everyone looked at Li Xiaodao as if they were staring at a ghost.
"What does the donor want to do?" Xinhu folded his hands and asked with low eyebrows.
Li Xiaodao waved his hand and said, "I naturally don't have that much ability to resurrect the dead, but I happen to know something?" ”
The heart pet trembled: "What? ”
Li Xiaodao said lightly: "You may have already known each other for a long time, because these thefts are too bizarre, so many of you must have guessed in private, thinking that they were from internal thieves, because except for the seven people in the first seat of Shaolin, no one else can enter and leave the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion at will." Therefore, the one who steals the scriptures is among your seven brothers and sisters. ”
"Abbot of Heartlake, am I right?"
The abbot of Xinhu sighed and said: "The donor really has the wisdom of the heavens, this matter is only known to me and the other seven and Bai Xiaosheng, I don't know where the donor heard the clues of this matter, and he can actually launch the whole picture." ”
He sighed, and by saying this he had already admitted that they did suspect that it was a thief from his own family.
Xinhu continued: "The seven of us have been in the same family for at least ten years, and no matter who we suspect, it is very wrong, and with our handling of this matter, we cannot but strive to be cautious. ”
Li Xiaodao's eyes flashed, and he smiled lightly: "It's a pity that Xinmei thinks that this matter is related to the plum blossom thief, so he went down the mountain to participate in the plum blossom thief, but what you don't know is that the monk Xinmei has actually guessed who that person is?" When he was descending the mountain, he gave Master Xinshu a gilt note, telling him that if something happened to him, then the person he suspected was recorded on the gilt. ”
Li Xiaodao explained: "The reason why he didn't say it was because he was afraid that he would blame people by mistake, and he only hoped that the person who stole the scriptures was really a 'plum blossom thief'." ”
The abbot of Xinhu showed shock in his eyes and muttered, "There is such a thing! ”
Li Xiaodao said: "Yes or no, let's go to the meditation room where there is a remnant of the heart eyebrows, and the master of the heart tree and Li Xunhuan who have preserved the memory are not there." ”
The abbot of Xinhu paused, sighed, and glanced at a few junior disciples around him, but saw that several of them were gloomy, and none of them looked strange.
The crowd came to the meditation room.
But I saw that there was no Li Xunhuan in the meditation room, and there was only a monk of the heart tree and a corpse of the heart eyebrow.
The abbot of Xinhu suddenly took two steps forward to greet him, and said, "Are you okay?" ”
Even if he heard a lot of Li Xiaodao outside, when he saw this junior brother who was held hostage by Li Xunhuan at this time, the first thing he asked was the other party, and he was not at a loss to be the head of Shaolin.
"Thank you for your concern, the disciple is fine." Hearttree sighed.
Bai Xiaosheng frowned on the side, his expression was tense, and he asked, "Senior Brother Xinshu, where did Li Xunhuan go?" ”
Li Xiaodao said lightly on the side: "What's important where Li Xunhuan went, now I just need to find out the Shaolin traitor, I and Li Xunhuan's plum blossom thief suspicion, I can wash it away, I, the plum blossom thief who you think is the deity, is here, what else do you have to worry about?" ”
Xinhu nodded when he heard this, then looked at Xinshu and asked, "This donor said that before Senior Brother Xinmei went down the mountain, he left a gilt for you, and the name of the person he suspected was recorded on the back. ”
Xinhu said, suddenly silent halfway, after all, if the real murderer is revealed, he must be one of his fellow disciples for decades, he really can't accept this answer, after a long time, he asked.
"You must have seen it, who is that person?"
Xinshu was suddenly stunned, and then thought of Li Xunhuan's statement, and deliberately glanced at Li Xiaodao.
Li Xunhuan once said that his friend can know many things that people in the rivers and lakes don't know, and it seems that this person is now the same person who told the senior brother in charge.
So Xinshu was more sure in his heart, and suddenly, he looked at a person and said sadly: "It was he who killed the second senior brother!" ”
But he pointed a finger, but it was pointed at a person.
That man is none other than the Master of the Heart's Pet.
The corners of the heart pet's mouth twitched again, but his face sank, and he said coldly: "How could the fifth senior brother say such a thing, I really don't understand." ”
Monk Xinshu's hand was raised, and what he was holding in his hand was Master Xinmei's "Reading the Scriptures".
The heart pet turned pale, but sneered: "If there is really my name on this, I should be willing to admit my guilt, but how can there be my name on it?" ”
Xinshu said coldly: "Are you willing to admit your guilt? Although you have torn off the last page, how do you know that the second senior brother has not been written on the other page? ”
The heart pet body was shocked, and he suddenly fell to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The fifth senior brother actually colluded with outsiders, causing the disciple to suffer an injustice in vain, and begged the senior brother to discern." ”
Li Xiaodao laughed at this time: "Not in vain? ”
The heart pet suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "What evidence do you have that the person who stole the scriptures is me?" ”
Li Xiaodao pointed to the heart eyebrow and said, "You are indeed the one who killed the heart eyebrow!" As for the stealers, you may really be the only one. ”
The heart pet rushed and said angrily: "How do you know? How ridiculous it is to say that I killed Senior Brother Xinmei. ”
Li Xiaodao looked at the corpse and said lightly: "I just reasonably speculate, it is reported that Master Xinmei was hit by the Five Poison Crystals of the Five Poison Boy when he returned to Shaolin Temple with Li Xunhuan, but it was not ......."
Xinhu looked at the junior brother kneeling in front of him at this time, and then looked at the junior brother who had died, and sighed: "Could it be that Senior Brother Xinmei really has another cause of death......
Li Xiaodao looked at Bai Xiaosheng and said slowly: "Bai Xiaosheng naturally doesn't know, if someone is poisoned by the Five Poison Boys, what will happen to his body after death?" ”
Bai Xiaosheng closed his eyes and said, "The whole body is black, and after a day, the skin and flesh will disappear and turn into a pile of black skeletons." ”
There were many Shaolin disciples who had never wandered the rivers and lakes, and when they heard this tragic situation, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
The abbot of Xinhu looked at Xinmei's appearance and said, "Then why the second junior brother?" ”
Li Xiaodao said lightly: "That's because he was poisoned by another extremely powerful poison, the murderer was afraid that he would tell the secret, he wanted him to die soon, for fear that the poison in him was not deep enough, so he gave him another extremely powerful poison, if he used other methods to kill people, it would inevitably leave traces, but everyone already knew that Master Xinmei was poisoned by the five poisonous boys, and he used the poison method to avoid the suspicion of others." ”
Li Xiaodao finally asked: "After Monk Xinmei returned to Shaolin Temple, who interfered in eating and drinking?" The poisoner is naturally among them. ”
The abbot of Xinhu closed his eyes sadly and said, "After the second junior brother came back, he only took a bowl of medicine, and the medicine was matched by the heart, but the person who fed him the medicine was the heart candle and the heart lamp. ”
Hearing this, the Heart Candle and the Heart Lamp, the two leaders took a step back, their faces pale.
Li Xiaodao looked at the two of them from the side: "According to the rumors in the rivers and lakes, Master Xin Zhu has lost his hair when he was nine years old, and the heart lamp has entered the Buddha Gate in infancy, and the two of them are afraid that they have never seen poison in their lives!" ”
He stared at his pet again, and said coldly: "As for the pet master, although there are not many people who know about it, there are many of them, he is a halfway monk, with an art investment teacher, before entering Shaolin, he is known as a "Qiqiao scholar", and he is a big expert in poisoning!" ”
There is no need to say anything more!
Master Xinhu said gloomily: "Shan Yu, Shaolin treats you well, why did you do such a thing today?" ”
Shan Que is the common name of Xin's pet, and Xinhu calls him like this, which is tantamount to expelling him from the door wall and no longer recognizing him as a disciple of Shaolin Buddhism.
Shan Que was sweating like pulp at this time, but he still denied it strongly: "Senior brother is aware that since the disciple entered Shaolin, he has completely cut off from the past, does the senior brother really want to convict the disciple from the past?" ”
Xinhu was stunned at this time.
Buddhism has always talked about putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground, if it is only based on the past conviction, Shaolin is afraid that it will not be able to do it.
However, Li Xiaodao knows the original book and clearly knows what Li Xunhuan is doing now.
He suddenly glanced at his pet and the others: "Weren't you curious before, where did Li Xunhuan go?" Master Hearttree, please speak. ”
Xinshu explained lightly on the side: "He went to learn the scriptures." ”
The heart was distracted and asked, "Learn from the scriptures?" What scriptures to take? ”
Xinshu said: "The 'Dharma Yijin Sutra' that was originally hidden in the second senior brother's room has also been stolen. ”
Master Heartlake said movingly: "Oh? ”
Xinshu said: "Li Tanhua calculated that this scripture must not have been sent away yet, and it must still be hidden in the heart pet room, and it is because the disciple has ordered Yichen and Yiyin on duty to monitor him and go to learn the scriptures together." ”
No wonder everyone rushed to the meditation room, but the monks who were guarding it were gone.
The heart pet suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Senior brother, don't listen to him, he really wants to plant a false accusation!" ”
He screamed wildly, and the man had rushed out.
Master Heartlake frowned, and the sleeves of his robe were spread, and the people swept up with it, but they didn't stop him, just followed him without leaving.
Between the ups and downs of his pet body, he has swept back to his own meditation room.
Sure enough, the door was open.
The heart pet rushed in and split the wooden cabinet with one palm, and the wooden cabinet actually had a mezzanine.
The Yijin Sutra is indeed there.
Xin Pet said sharply: "This scripture is in the second senior brother's room, they deliberately put it here to plant it, but this method of planting it has been used hundreds of years ago, and the senior brother's eyes are like electricity, how can he be deceived by Xiao Xiao's like you!" ”
It wasn't until he finished saying that Li Xiaodao said coldly: "Even if we are planting, how do you know that we will put this scripture in this wooden cabinet?" Why don't you look elsewhere? As soon as you come in, you go straight to this wooden cabinet? ”
The heart pet was suddenly stunned, sweating like rain.
Xinshu let out a long breath and said, "Li Tanhua has already calculated that only by using this method can he not recruit himself, thanks to the cooperation of another Li Shizhu. ”
I only heard one person smile and said: "But my method is really risky, if he himself is not fooled, then no one will be able to make him confess, but fortunately, Xiaodao cooperates on the side!" ”
In the midst of laughter, Li Xunhuan suddenly appeared.
He looked at Li Xiaodao and said, "I know you know everything, I've seen you many times." ”
Li Xiaodao smiled lightly and said, "In the future, I may tell you the reason why I know so many things!" ”
