Chapter 41: Blood and Tears

Si Qi took advantage of the fact that the night had not completely faded, and arranged everything according to the method taught to her by Shen Xinyue.

"Princess, it's all arranged." Si Qi came back to report, with excitement on his face.

It is very difficult for Si Qi to do things well without knowing it, so the secret guards left by Huo Weilou also contributed to it.

They are loyal to Huo Weilou, and naturally understand Shen Xinyue's weight in Huo Weilou's heart, and they are also willing to do things for Shen Xinyue without disobeying Huo Weilou.

Soon, it was dawn, and the time was the next day.

The news came quickly, and before Shen Xinyue had breakfast, the news spread in the temple.

"Yue'er, the statue of the Buddha in the temple shed blood and tears!" As soon as Song Ruyu received the news, she came to Shen Xinyue's room.

Song Ruyu's face was full of horror, she got up early on weekdays, and she was used to walking outside after getting up. Today, she got out of bed together, and she didn't go far before she saw the Buddha statue shed blood and tears!

Shen Xinyue had expected it, and she was not panicked, and comforted Song Ruyu: "Mother, don't worry." Buddha statues are not living creatures, and they will not shed blood and tears for no reason, there must be something hidden in this. ”

Shen Xinyue is from modern times and is not superstitious, but this ancient person is not necessarily.

Shen Xinyue's appeasement didn't work, and Song Ruyu was still very panicked.

Sighing, Shen Xinyue gave Si Qi a look, Si Qi suddenly understood, and hurriedly made a cup of hot tea for Song Ruyu.

"Yue'er, in the important place of Buddhism, you must not say such a rebellious thing and let the Buddha listen to it, but I will punish you!" Song Ruyu hurriedly snorted.

Shen Xinyue also learned from Song Ruyu's appearance, and also snorted a few times.

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and their nervous and panicked emotions calmed down.

"Mother, let's go out and have a look." Shen Xinyue guessed that the matter should have been fermented, so she wanted to take Song Ruyu out to see the excitement.

Thinking of the Buddha statue with blood and tears, Song Ruyu's face turned pale, and she hurriedly shook her head: "Yue'er, my mother won't go, let's not get involved in this matter." ”

"It's okay, mother, you go back to the room for breakfast first, I'll take a look, I won't cause trouble." Shen Xinyue helped Song Ruyu back to the room, and she took Si Qi to the Buddha statue.

The blood and tears of the Buddha statue have alarmed the host and abbot of the temple, and Shen Xinyue has already made arrangements, and the pilgrims who came to Baoyun Temple to incense have also heard some rumors of last night's incident, and most of them know that there was a murder in the temple.

When Shen Xinyue came to the place, he heard the visiting pilgrims discussing this matter.

"Have you heard, there was a murder in the temple last night, and it is said that the death was quite unjust."

"What? Homicide case? In this important place of Buddhism, there are still people who dare to kill people? ”

"Really? The Buddha is watching here, and there are people slaughtering lives, isn't this making the Buddha and his old man unhappy? ”

"Isn't it? I don't know who it is, it's so daring! ”

"If you want me to say, the Buddha statue sheds blood and tears, that is, he knows the grievances here, so he sheds blood and tears, so as to tell the world that someone died unjustly, I hope we will thoroughly investigate this matter and return the deceased to an innocence!"

"What this brother said is reasonable, and I also think that's the case."

"The Buddha has a spirit, and he can't see such a dirty thing in the world, so he shed blood and tears to warn the world!"

Shen Xinyue walked slowly, listening to everyone's discussions, and the corners of her mouth raised a slight arc, indicating that she was in a good mood.

She thought, now that this matter has been spread, Lan Qingruo and the old lady are afraid that they won't be able to sit still, right?

The old lady believes in Buddhism, and at this time she is afraid that she is sincerely afraid, for fear that retribution will happen to her. And Lan Qingruo doesn't believe in Buddhism, and all calculations are only for himself, the current Lan Qingruo must be thinking about putting this matter right, and he also wants to push the matter on Shen Xinyue's head.

The presiding officer and abbot of the temple have sent monks to surround the Buddha statue with blood and tears, and pilgrims are not allowed to approach it, but can only watch it from a distance.

The monks knew Shen Xinyue's identity, and when they saw her coming, they didn't stop her, but let her in.

Seeing this, the pilgrims frowned.

"Who is this man? Why was she allowed to go in when we were stopped outside? ”

"They are all pilgrims, are they still divided into three, six, nine and so on?"

"Isn't the Buddha a universal being? Why can't we go to the incense? ”

Seeing that the pilgrims were in a wrong mood, the little monk hurriedly explained: "Please also ask the donors to be calm and not impatient." That is Lord Shen Shi, who is now the regent princess. ”

The pilgrim was silenced.

It turned out to be the princess regent, no wonder she could go in!

The pilgrims dared not speak out, they had already heard of the regent's methods, and no one dared to offend the living Hades.

"You see, the princess regent didn't go to offer incense, didn't she hear about the matter here and came to avenge people's grievances?"

"Maybe yes, I wanted to go down the mountain to accompany my wife and children, but it happened that the princess regent was here, so I stayed and watched the rest of the matter. I also want to see the beauty of the princess regent. The man laughed.

When the pilgrims heard this, they also took great interest in the legendary princess regent. I regret that I didn't take a closer look at her just now.

"Presiding." Shen Xinyue was unhurried.

When the host and others saw Shen Xinyue, they first saluted, and then frowned, "Master Shen." ”

The old princess and Lan Qingruo had already arrived and were sitting next to the host.

"Now there are rumors in the temple, I don't know how many, what is the solution?" The host sighed in a low voice, and the old face was full of sadness.

The old princess gestured to Mama Li with her eyes, and Mama Li nodded and took a step forward.

"Host, it is not normal for the Buddha statue to shed blood and tears, there must be someone making trouble, it is better to check who came to the Buddha statue at night, that person must be the one who is making trouble."

Shen Xinyue couldn't help laughing.

The old princess was angry, slapped the table and stood up: "Shen Xinyue, everyone is talking about business, what are you laughing at!" ”

"It's nothing, I just thought of the interesting story of Huo Weilou, and I didn't hold back for a while." Shen Xinyue directly used Huo Weilou as a shield.

Sure enough, after the old princess heard Huo Weilou's name, she was a little dumbfounded and stopped talking.

"Nowadays, there are many rumors in the temple, and in order to calm the doubts of pilgrims, the temple will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. If someone really makes trouble behind his back, I Baoyun Temple will not tolerate it. "Although the host is old, he speaks with a lot of energy.

"I also believe that the host will definitely find out about this matter, and if there is anything that needs help, I will be duty-bound." Shen Xinyue echoed.

She was not worried at all that the host would find out about Si Qi and herself.

Si Qi is quick to do things, and with the help of two Huo Weilou's secret guards, he will not leave any clues.

And the old princess and Lan Qingruo were also calm, looking like they hadn't done anything wrong. They were confident that the bodies of the two had been disposed of, and they didn't think that the monks of the temple alone could find out something.

And the monks who came over last night had already been oppressed by the old princess, and they didn't dare to say much.

The morning passed, and the monks did not find any clues.

At lunchtime, some of the pilgrims went down the mountain, while others stayed at Baoyun Monastery to eat fast with the monks.

Shen Xinyue had already ordered the secret guards to do it in secret, and there was no one at the Buddha statue at this time, only two monks were patrolling, for fear that someone would take advantage of the Buddha statue and no one would come to do it again.

But who is Huo Weilou's secret guard?

The two monks are just ordinary people, and they also walk together on patrol, and there are too many blind spots in their vision.

The secret guard easily put the bodies of the two men last night in front of the Buddha statue, and quickly evacuated, not even a single leaf fell from the trees in the courtyard.

When the two monks returned from a walk, they were shocked to see the two corpses that had suddenly appeared on the ground.

When the monks came to the host, it happened to be when the pilgrims had just finished eating.

"Host, no! Oh no! ”

"Don't panic."

"Presiding, two corpses suddenly appeared in front of the Buddha statue!" The monk's face was horrified.

The host's eyes widened: "You can tell me more." ”

The monk told the host what he had just seen.

The pilgrims also heard about it, and the group came to the Buddha statue.

The news spread quickly, Lan Qingruo and the old princess hurriedly came to the Buddha statue, and when they saw the familiar faces on the ground, the two of them were so frightened that they took several steps back.

Only Shen Xinyue is still unhurried, not shocked, but has become the backbone of the existence.

"Impossible...... That's impossible! Mama Li was so frightened that she sat on the ground and retreated again and again.

But she saw the people killed with her own eyes, and the corpses were also left in the back mountain, where there were few people and wild beasts, and it was impossible for the monks to go to the back mountain!

The maid beside the old princess was timid, and she almost fainted when she saw this scene.

"This ...... This is retribution, right? How could these two flower thieves appear here...... This...... Will we be the next to die? If we kill someone in front of the Buddha, we will be punished by God! The maid did not choose to speak, and always felt that this was the retribution given to them by the Buddha.

The old princess glared at the maid angrily, she was angry, she still wanted to hide this matter, but she was exposed by the maid next to her!

The maid was already scared, but she was glared at by the old princess angrily, and she fainted directly!

The old princess believed in Buddhism, although her expression had not changed, but the dark light in her eyes flickered, and she was a little weak and did not dare to look at the corpse on the ground.

"Flower thief? What's going on? The host asked.

He had only heard the word in the chatter of pilgrims, but had no idea what had happened last night. Now when I hear the maid say this, I also have a guess in my heart.

But the old princess and Lan Qingruo's people didn't dare to speak, the master didn't speak, they opened their mouths rashly, but they would lose their lives.

"Si Qi, tell the host what happened last night." Shen Xinyue saw that no one spoke, so she opened her mouth.

Si Qi responded, and then told the host about last night's events, and also told Shen Xinyue about smelling the incense.

"It can't be! How could there be flower thieves in Baoyun Temple? "The host doesn't believe the flower thief at all.

Baoyun Temple is at the top of the mountain, no one will come here except pilgrims on weekdays, not to mention, the people who live in Baoyun Temple are monks, and very few people will come to live in the temple.

That is, the old princess arranged to stay in Baoyun Temple these days.

It is impossible for the host to let Baoyun Temple carry this black cauldron.

"This matter, we will report it to Dali Temple, and we will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you an explanation!"

is worthy of being the host, knowing that there is something to find the police, ah no, looking for Dali Temple.

Lan Qingruo's expression sank and sank, the incense was placed by her, the two men were also arranged by her, and the person who "caught the adulterer" was also brought by her Mama Li and the maid.

If Dali Temple is really allowed to investigate thoroughly, it will definitely find out her head, and she can't let such a thing happen.

After thinking about it for a while, Lan Qingruo said in a sweet voice: "Host, they didn't use the incense last night, and I wasn't hurt, and they have paid the price with their lives." Why don't you leave this matter at that? ”
