Gongsun Wanyan's movements startled Gongsun Wanyan, and she looked at the old lady, who squinted her eyes and looked at the person in front of her scrutinically.

The initial panic of the Venerable Master Zhizhen passed, and his heart turned sharply, and he calmed down and said: "Poor nuns explain the Fa for people who are destined, and sometimes it is inevitable to be confused, it seems that poor nuns have told this story to the old lady before, I hope the old lady will forgive me." ”

The old lady was silent, looking at the True Mage with hesitant eyes, as if she was carefully identifying and scrutinizing. And the True Master stood there quietly, his eyes slightly downcast, his hands folded, and he looked solemn and detached.

After a while, the old lady spoke: "Although the mage is beyond the ordinary, in the end, he is still imprisoned in this physical mortal womb, and it is inevitable that there will be things that he can't remember, so it doesn't matter. ”

The true master was sure in his heart, folded his hands, and said the Buddha's name: "The old lady is accessible." ”

"Feng He, let's send the True Mage back to rest first."

"Yes, old lady."

The wind and lotus responded and sent the true mage out of Jingyun Hall.

The old lady sat where she was, staring carefully at the back of the True Mage, but the other party's every move seemed to be no different from the True Mage she had in her impression.

Gongsun Wan didn't know why, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with my mother?" But what's wrong? ”

The old lady muttered: "Maybe I'm too careful, and when the True Master preaches the Fa for believers, it is inevitable that he will have to say some allusions with profound meanings, and sometimes it is not surprising that he can't remember clearly. ”

Lan Qi is the son of a family, she has served by the old lady's side for many years, and has hardly left, when the true mage came to the mansion, although she is not very old, she clearly remembers that the real mage told this story, and she just wanted to give a reminder, but the old lady seemed to listen very carefully, so she did not interrupt.

At this time, she heard the old lady say this, and said with relief: "There have been a lot of things in the house recently, and the old lady may be too nervous." Where can a character like a true mage be fake? However, the slave maid still thought that the true mage Taishan had collapsed and did not change, and now it seems that he is just a mortal, and there is only one life after all. ”

The old lady had already lost her vigilance, but when she heard her words, she remembered something, and frowned again, "It is true that the true master is naturally a mortal, she once said that monks also have seven emotions and six desires, but they are lighter than ordinary people, and she has the same desires in her heart, but it is different from what ordinary people want." ”

"As soon as the old lady said this, the slave and maid also vaguely remembered, as if the true master said that if you can leave the mortal womb of the flesh and leave this world, you can't ask for it."

Gongsun Wanyan was surprised: "How do you feel, this True Mage seems to be very disgusted with this earthly world. ”

The old lady's eyes deepened a little, "So a person like the True Mage looks down on life and death, will he be moved by the suspicions of others?" I don't know what went wrong, but I always felt that it was unusual. ”

As he was talking, someone from outside came to report, "Old lady, grandma has returned home and is coming to your side." ”

"As soon as you get home, you're in a hurry to come to me, isn't something wrong?"

"Grandma didn't say anything, she just said that she would let the girl around her go to the courtyard where the True Mage was resting."

The old lady breathed for a while, glanced at Gongsun Wanyan, and instructed Lan Qi, "You also go over and have a look." ”

Lan Qi knew that something was wrong, so he agreed and ran out with his skirt in hand.

It didn't take long for Li Qingyi to enter Jingyun Hall.

The old lady looked at her, her expression inevitably revealing a hint of nervousness.

When Li Qingyi saw her appearance, he asked in surprise, "What's going on in the mansion again?" ”

Gongsun Wanyan said for the old lady: "Mother just asked Master Zhenzhen to come and speak, Master Zhizhen actually told her mother an allusion that she had told before, Mother felt a little strange, but she couldn't be sure, but it's you, why did you let people go to Master Zhenzhen as soon as you returned home, did something happen?" ”

Li Qingyi was stunned, she didn't expect this fake true mage to show such a flaw, she thought about it, and did not directly say that the true mage was fake, but said: "A headless female corpse was found on the street, five feet five inches long, about forty years old, fair complexion, wearing monk's robes...... It's a nun! ”

The old lady's face changed immediately.

Gongsun Wanyan gasped, "It's hard to be ......"

The old lady looked at Li Qingyi, "The description of this headless female corpse is very consistent with the true mage, according to your judgment, do you also think that this identity in the mansion is fake?" ”

Li Qingyi nodded slightly, "I was the first to be suspicious, because I saw a neat crack on the prayer bead of Master Zhizhen, and there seemed to be coagulated blood stains in it, today I saw the headless female corpse on the street with neat cuts on the neck, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, so I hurried back to the house, but I didn't expect the old lady to notice the abnormality." ”

Speaking of this, Lan Qi panted and ran in to pray, "Old lady, the true mage wanted to run, but was caught by the eldest grandmother's maidservant!" ”

"What!" The old lady stood up, her face sank, "Hmph, don't doubt it this time, this holding must be fake!" Let's go, go and see! ”

When everyone left Jingyun Hall, Xiang Lan asked Li Qingyi in a low voice, "Why didn't the girl tell the old lady directly, you have already determined that the true mage is fake?" ”

Li Qingyi said: "It's too easy to get an answer, it's not always so credible, it's better to deepen the old lady's suspicion and let her check it herself, so that the results will be more influential." In addition, if I have doubts about one thing at the same time as the old lady, we will resonate with each other and unconsciously establish a cooperative relationship, which is a good opportunity to get close to the old lady. ”

Hearing this, Wolan quietly stretched out a thumb from under his sleeve.

Li Qingyi smiled, "Of course, I said this because I couldn't explain Baili to the old lady, and I can't leak anything about this matter for the time being." I guess that Baili was suddenly killed, Wei Shicheng will act as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night, my second uncle is waiting for him to ask for favors! ”

Seeing where the true mage was, Xiang Lan muttered in a low voice: "This true mage was found by the princess, first Zifeng, and now she is a true mage, I don't know if the old lady will suspect the princess?" ”

Li Qingyi said: "I'm also thinking about this problem...... Later, I had to talk to my second aunt about it, and only then did I see her relaxed expression, I should have asked about the appointment. ”

When he arrived at the place, the True Master was being pressed to the ground by Chang Ning's twisted arm, and a small bag was thrown beside him. The burden spreads out, revealing the customs clearance document inside, which is the identity of the true mage.

The old lady said with a solemn face: "I heard that the True Master is leaving, why don't you let people say anything?" Leaving over the wall, I am afraid that I will lose my identity as a mage. ”

Changning let go of Zhizhen and allowed her to speak.

Zhizhen stood up, gently dusted off his body, still maintained a masterful demeanor, folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name unhurriedly, "The old lady misunderstood, the poor nun really wanted to leave, but he didn't want to leave over the wall, but he was chasing a thief." ”

"Thief?"

The old lady couldn't be sure whether her words were true or false, and glanced at Li Qingyi hesitantly.

Li Qingyi asked Changning, "Changning, when you came over, did you see any suspicious people?" ”

Changning shook his head, "When the slave and maid came over, she saw the true mage climbing the wall, she seemed to have some light body skills, and the slave and maid were afraid that she would run away...... I was afraid that she would just leave the house, so I stopped people. ”

Hearing this, Li Qingyi looked at the true master, "It turns out that the master can also do kung fu." ”

The True Mage looked indifferent and did not panic, "Although the poor nun is not proficient in the martial arts, he must also have some self-protection skills, otherwise, how can he travel in the four wilds?" ”

It makes sense for her to explain that.

But the old lady furrowed her eyebrows, obviously not believing such an excuse, and asked Li Qingyi, "There should be a lot of guards around this palace, right?" ”

Li Qingyi did not deny it, and said with a smile: "After Zhenlang returned to the palace, he arranged a lot of guards to guard the palace, not to mention the little thief, even the big thief of Jiangyang, and he absolutely cannot enter and leave the palace freely." ”

And they looked at the truth.

"Amitabha, this poor nun doesn't know."

Li Qingyi slandered in her heart, this fake nun can really pretend!

"Changning, if the true mage encounters a thief, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be frightened, you go and invite Miss Xie to treat the mage."

Changning agreed and went immediately.

Gongsun Wanyan asked in a low voice, "Yi'er, is it possible that Miss Xie can see whether the identity of the True Master is true or false?" ”

The old lady was standing beside her, and naturally she heard her "Yi'er", she glanced at her daughter, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything.

However, the Venerable Master said, "If the poor nun is not frightened, there is no need to worry about the donor." ”

Li Qingyi smiled slightly, looked at the true mage and said: "The true mage is a master, a small thief, he will definitely not be able to scare the mage, but this is in the palace after all, we must not neglect the mage, we must let Miss Xie come over to diagnose the pulse of the mage, and only if there is nothing to do, can we rest assured." ”

As soon as Gongsun Wanyan heard this, he knew that Xie Rao would definitely be able to see something through the pulse.

A flash of panic flashed in the eyes of the True Mage over there, and he quickly lowered his eyes to hide his expression.

The old lady kept staring at her closely, and when she saw this, she also knew what to expect, so she acquiesced to letting Li Qingyi toss.

Soon, Xie Rao rushed here.

Just now she and Li Qingyi returned to the house together, and she was ready to wait in her courtyard, and when she saw the true master, she said: "Xie is not talented, and I am willing to diagnose the pulse of the master for the palace for the palace." ”

Master Zhizhen was able to give acupuncture to Mrs. He with Xie Rao, and obviously knew how to heal, but she couldn't cure herself, and she couldn't shirk it, so she had to stretch out her wrist.

Xie Rao's fingers rested on the wrist of the True Master, closing her eyes and concentrating.

After a long moment, she opened her eyes, "This is indeed the pulse of a man in his forties." ”

The old lady and Gongsun Wanyan both frowned, isn't it a bit hasty to confirm a person's age just by the pulse?

Li Qingyi was not in a hurry, and motioned for Xie Rao to continue.
