Chapter 139

Through Chen Xiao's dream trial, the suspicion of good deeds was basically eliminated. Although Zhou Zheng didn't want to admit it, he was still very disappointed in his heart.

Could it be that you really have a preconceived idea? Is it really your own deep-seated prejudices?

Zhou Zheng had to admit that no matter whether Jiang Zhongyi was the one back then, or the good deeds now, has he become a compassionate monk? However, judging from the information we have so far, Shanwei is indeed not the person involved in this case!

But where is the good deeds?

Zhou Zheng and Yue Xiaoyue, as well as several officials from the contact point, searched for a day in the city, and even looked for fireworks and willow lanes, but they didn't find the whereabouts of Shanwei.

In the evening, Zhou Zheng relied on the advantage of his spirit body to search outside the city, but he still found nothing.

Just when Zhou Zheng thought that Shanwei couldn't be here, Yue Xiaoyue actually ran back to the inn with Shanwei who was seriously injured and unconscious.

It turned out that in the evening, Yue Xiaoyue met a little beggar on the corner of the street, who was only eight or nine years old, wearing only a single coat on his skinny body, shivering in the cold north wind.

Seeing him begging for food from herself, Yue Xiaoyue felt pity, and directly gave all the dozen taels of silver she had brought to the little beggar, asking him to buy a winter coat and eat a delicious meal.

Yue Xiaoyue has no social experience, and she doesn't understand the truth of "conceiving his crimes" and "powerless people get rich and kill themselves".

A little beggar, if you give him delicious food, you can eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and no one will do anything to him if he eats it. However, giving him two taels of silver is tantamount to harming him, not to mention that he is full of winter food and clothing, and his life may be in danger!

Sure enough, after dark, when Yue Xiaoyue was about to return to the inn, in a dark back alley, she met the little beggar again, he was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his body was bruised. Curled up on the ground, wailing incessantly.

Yue Xiaoyue hurriedly took out the ointment to heal him. When I asked, I found out that the little beggar took the money to buy meat buns, but was targeted by a group of ruffians on the street. It wasn't the little beggar who stole their money and beat him up!

The little beggar had so many taels of silver on his body, which naturally aroused everyone's suspicions, plus the group of ruffians was so powerful that no one came out to stop it, and no one ran to report to the little beggar.

If it weren't for Yue Xiaoyue again, the little beggar covered in scars would definitely freeze to death in this cold winter night!

Yue Xiaoyue was furious, pulled the little beggar to find the group of ruffians, and stepped forward to beat them without saying a word, until those people crawled on the ground and cried that their father and mother couldn't move anymore, and Yue Xiaoyue's evil breath was exhausted.

She took all the money and belongings from these people, and took the little beggar to buy him some steamed buns to eat, and then bought a large bag of steamed buns, roast chicken, and sauce meat for him to eat tomorrow. Then, he bought two cotton clothes and a quilt for the little beggar to wear to protect himself from the cold.

Yue Xiaoyue wanted to take the little beggar back to the inn, but the little beggar insisted on returning to his place of stay, saying that his grandfather was still waiting for him.

Helplessly, Yue Xiaoyue bought a lot of food and drink supplies, carried them all on her back, and then sent the little beggar home.

The little beggar does not live in the city, but in an abandoned temple outside the city. When Yue Xiaoyue returned there with the little beggar, she saw an old man boiling wild vegetable soup with a pot.

Looking at so many things, the old man thanked Yue Xiaoyue for his kindness, kowtowed and knelt. It made Yue Xiaoyue extremely embarrassed.

Just as Yue Xiaoyue was about to say goodbye and leave, she suddenly smelled a smell of blood. After inquiry, I found out that just two days ago, the old man found a seriously injured and unconscious monk next to the temple and rescued him back to the temple.

That man is none other than a good deed!

Yue Xiaoyue didn't dare to slack off, and directly carried Shanwei back to the inn.

Shanwei was seriously injured, and his internal organs were seriously damaged. Zhou Zheng was a good Langzhong himself, but in order not to expose too much information about himself, he still asked Yue Xiaoyue to urgently ask Langzhong in the city to heal. In the interval between inviting people, he used a golden needle to seal the meridians of Shanwei, and gave him the healing medicine that Zhou Zheng prepared for himself next week.

After a night of emergency treatment in Langzhong, the next morning, Shanwei finally opened his eyes.

"Master Yue? Zhenjun? Shanwei looked at his injuries and understood his situation, "Amitabha, thank you Lord Yue and Zhenjun for saving your life!" ”

"Who hurt you?" Zhou Zheng is very concerned about this matter.

"The poor monk doesn't know! The man suddenly attacked from behind, and I didn't even see what he looked like. ”

"Why did he sneak up on you?" Yue Xiaoyue was puzzled.

"Amitabha, the poor monk doesn't know!"

"How is that person's cultivation?" Zhou Zheng is asking key questions.

"Much higher than the poor monks! Although it was a sneak attack, the poor monk didn't even take his three moves. Wheel cultivation is, at least at the third level of the immortal level of the Great Perfection. ”

"Ah, by the way, take the liberty of asking, what kind of cultivation is the master?"

This is also the issue that Zhou Zheng is most concerned about.

"Amitabha, our Buddhism and Taoism are different from what they say, the poor monk has just entered the King Kong statue, and he probably belongs to the first level of the Taoist immortal level."

Zhou Zheng nodded. He thought to himself, could it be that the Buddhism and Taoism are inconsistent, so he can't see the cultivation of good deeds?

"Didn't the master go back to Puguang Temple? How did it end up here? Someone else sneak attacked? ”

"Amitabha, don't hide it from the true monarch, the poor monk has indeed returned to Puguang Temple, and has already shown the abbot to think about it. However, I suddenly thought of something that might be useful to the true monarch, so the poor monk and the abbot went to the Department of Law and Punishment to find the true monarch. At that time, I heard that Zhenjun was still dealing with Chen Xiao's case, so I thought that I should come to the right place this time. Therefore, I hurried here again to ask for the true king. Unexpectedly, he was attacked outside the city. Amitabha, the poor monk can save his life, thank you to the two donors for helping! ”

Shanwei fainted on the spot, so he always thought that Zhou Zheng and Yue Xiaoyue rescued him.

Zhou Zheng waved his hand, "It's not us who saved you, it's a pair of grandfathers and grandsons in the ruined temple outside the city." If you want to thank them, go and thank them later! By the way, what do you remember? Why do you have to come to me? ”

"Amitabha, in fact, the poor monk doesn't know whether this matter is useful to Zhenjun, but Chen Xiao's killing of those people may have something to do with this matter, so the poor monk thought that he should tell Zhenjun truthfully."

"Oh? What's the matter? Please also elaborate on it. ”

Shanwei thanked Yue Xiaoyue for the bowl of warm water he served, and after drinking it, he said slowly, "A year ago, I met Chen Xiao, and what happened to this child was because I thought about it very much before, so I left him by my side.

At first, when I taught him the Dharma, he understood everything and had a high level of understanding. I was overjoyed and felt that it was the Buddha who had guided me to meet him, the reincarnation of a natural Buddha. I want to take him as a disciple and take him to the monastery to cultivate him carefully.

However, later, I slowly felt that something was wrong. Every time Chen Xiao learns Buddhism, he has to listen to the lecture with his right hand on his head, not only can he remember it once, but he can also be proficient in Buddhism. However, every time I asked him to correct his lazy sitting posture and sit and listen, his mind seemed to be suddenly confused, and he told him a hundred times, and he didn't know why. Before and after, it was like two people. ”

"What's so strange about that?" Yue Xiaoyue was puzzled, "When my sister taught me to learn spells, as long as I was serious, I would doze off. On the contrary, when I am playful, I learn the fastest! ”

"Amitabha," Shanwei smiled slightly, "Lord Yue is right, if it's just this one thing, it will be difficult for a poor monk to be a teacher, and it will be a big fuss!" However, there are several things after that, all of which add up and are not worth questioning. ”

"Xiaoyue, don't interrupt the master, listen to the master."

Yue Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to interject again.

"Just as Lord Yue said, when I saw him like this, I no longer forced him to sit and listen. Since then, his learning progress has improved by leaps and bounds. It is precisely because of this that I gave him that jade ruyi for self-defense. Buddhism is different from Taoism, as long as you can recite the Pranosu Sutra, you don't need spiritual power to drive the Dharma weapon to protect yourself. However, the strange thing is that when Yu Ruyi is in Chen Xiao's right hand, it can not only protect, but also exert some magic weapons themselves. However, when it came to his left hand, he couldn't use the magic weapon.

And, then, for a month or two, there were always days when he became so dull that even with his right hand would not help. However, after a few days, it was slowly back to normal. ”

"Dare to ask the master, every time he became dull, did he go out alone?" Zhou Zheng felt that he had caught something.

"Just as Mako-kun expected. He once saved a bobcat. That lynx is very fierce to everyone, but when he saw Chen Xiao, he became docile, like a domestic cat. However, the lynx never stayed with us and preferred to go to the nearby mountains and forests to roost.

Every once in a while, Chen Xiao would go to find a bobcat and leave for a few days. When he returned, he was not only unresponsive, but also weak.

I began to think it was the lynx that was the fault and went to find the lynx alone. The bobcat was indeed in the midst of a moment of intellect. It's just that it hasn't absorbed Chen Xiao's essence. It can be said that it has never absorbed the essence of any human race. ”

"Did the master follow Chen Xiao? Where did he go? What did you do? ”

"Nope. I asked him, and all he said was that he was tired of playing with bobcats. ”

"When he said this, the master believed it?"

"Nope! I don't believe it! It's just that Chen Xiao is not my apprentice, he can leave me at any time and do whatever he wants. So, at the time, I thought, I shouldn't interfere with his freedom! ”

"I said you, master, just because you didn't care about it and let him do whatever he wanted, you killed so many people!"

Yue Xiaoyue couldn't help but choke.

"Amitabha, the poor monk knows his mistakes!"

"Dawn Moon! The master has been willing to accept the punishment of facing the wall! Besides, there must be someone behind Chen Xiao's actions. The master doesn't know, what's wrong? Zhou Zheng turned his head, "Master, are you talking about his right hand?" ”

"Not bad! More precisely, it should be the thumb of the right hand! I've noticed that as long as the thumb of his right hand is propped up, his eyes will shine. ”

"Master, I'll be with you for a while. Dawn Moon..."

Zhou Zheng was in a hurry to go to the prison to see Chen Xiao, he originally wanted Yue Xiaoyue to stay with Shanwei. However, Yue Xiaoyue is such a ghostly and clever person! Although she didn't fully understand what was going on, she could see at a glance that Zhou was going to prison.

"I'll show the way for Zhenjun, I'm familiar with that place!" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, he jumped to the door first.

Zhou Zheng really had no choice but to take her with him, so he had to take her with him in a hurry.

When the two came to the cell, Chen Xiao was still lying on the grass bunk and fell asleep. It's just that the thumb of his right hand is gone!

Zhou Zheng was taken aback.

Chen Xiao's importance has declined, and the protective barrier set for him in his cell has been removed. However, the early warning barrier to prevent cultivators from breaking in is still there, but whenever someone comes in, Zhou Zheng can get the warning as soon as possible.

However, there was no warning!

"Zhenjun, look, this is a bite mark! Skylight here, this is, this is a cat's paw print! Yue Xiaoyue became more and more professional, she quickly looked around and quickly found traces.

No need to ask, Chen Xiao's right thumb must have been bitten off and taken away by that bobcat!

What a bobcat! What a smart will drive the unopened bobcat! Just enough to avoid the warning of the enchantment!

"Zhenjun, let me chase it!" Yue Xiaoyue took the initiative to ask.

"No need!" Zhou Zheng shook his head in frustration, "You see that wound, it was bitten off two hours ago, and now, the traces must have been cleaned." You can't catch up! ”

"It's infuriating!" Yue Xiaoyue stomped her foot fiercely, "As soon as there was a clue, it was cut off again!" Could that person be able to pinch it? ”

"Can you pinch it?" Zhou Zheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Haha, Xiaoyue, you have made another contribution!" You go and see if Chen Xiao has cat hair left on his body? Since that lynx is so affectionate with Chen Xiao, out of animal nature, it will also crawl on Chen Xiao! Be sure to look carefully, this is very important! ”

"Looking for cat hair?" Although Yue Xiaoyue's face was full of doubts, she still squatted down cautiously and began to look for Chen Xiao inch by inch.

Zhou Zheng looked at Chen Xiao, who was lying on the ground calmly like a dead man, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Chen Xiao will wake up in a day or two, but that kind of awakening is an unconscious physical awakening. In other words, it's just a walking dead who wakes up!

Chen Xiaoqiu's verdict has been reported to the imperial court. With his crimes, it is almost certain that the verdict will be approved to take effect, and it may even be directly changed to a summary verdict!

However, these are no longer important to Chen Xiao. The moment he was devoured by Moqi, he was already dead!

Zhou Zheng had already arranged for the contact point of the Department of Punishment in the mortal world, disguised as mortals with different identities, to claim the eight corpses. Their identity as cultivators cannot be exposed in front of mortals. And these corpses will also be sent back to their respective sects when they were alive.

Now, the trial of the mortal Chen Xiao has ended. Next, the focus of the Law and Punishment Division is to find out the immortal cultivators who are behind him who instigated him to commit murder!

Thumb? Zhou Zheng clearly remembered that he had examined Chen Xiao's bones in a comprehensive manner, and there was nothing special. Could it be that like the small incense burner in Mo Qi's heart, something is hidden in the bones of Chen Xiao's thumb?

Zhou Zheng couldn't help but think of a detail, where the inside of Chen Xiao's thumb and palm meet, there was indeed an old wound that was not very obvious. If his fingers were to be tampered with, it would have been a long time ago. At least before Chen Xiao meets Shanwei!

Oh my! Could it be that the person behind Chen Xiao can really predict the prophet? So early on to figure out what is happening today? Could it be that Yue Xiaoyue is really a prophecy, that person really has the ability to pinch and calculate?

Zhou Zheng suddenly felt cold behind him!
