Chapter 171: Betrayal
Sending Qing Jia into the Holy Jade Hall, Qin Wan let him stay inside, and then came out with Xiao Yan to check the situation on the lake.
When it was almost dawn, there was no movement.
"It doesn't look like it's going to be there again today." Qin Wan's face was a little solemn as he looked at the lake.
Xiao Yan looked at Qin Wan's expression and said, "Do you know something?" About these monsters. ”
"I don't know if I'm right." Qin Wan groaned, and his tone became firm again, "But we must dispose of these monsters as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late after they multiply in large numbers." ”
Xiao Yan didn't ask Qin Wan what her conjecture was, seeing Qin Wan's solemn expression, Xiao Yan held her hand, "Let's be together." ”
Qin Wan didn't think about asking Xiao Yan to help her, but now that he was by her side, her heart inexplicably swelled with a trace of strength, filling her chest little by little.
The sky is lit up with a little white of the fish's belly, sprinkling sparkling waves on the surface of the lake.
On the shore of the lake, a monk wearing a red coral-inlaid robe, surrounded by a group of people, came to the outside of the Holy Jade Hall.
Originally, Qin Wan planned to tie Qingjia back after disposing of the monster.
I didn't expect these people to come so quickly.
"Master, he's gone!" A little monk saw the rope that had fallen to the ground.
The person at the head is the monk Tianyuan, the holy Buddha of Tianxi country, in charge of all Buddhist temples in Tianxi country, and even the king of Tianxi country respects him as the father of Buddha, and respects him in every way.
Qin Wan looked at Monk Tianyuan from a distance, his face looked only thirty or forty years old, but his long beard was snow-white, and he couldn't tell his real age at all.
Those eyes were clear and powerful, as if they had seen through everything in the world, but there was a faint sense of indescribable turbidity.
Monk Tian Yuan walked under the stone pillar, took the rope and looked at it, and said, "He was rescued by someone." ”
Another monk hurriedly said, "Holy Buddha, the disciples have been guarding the door all night, and no one has come in through the main gate. ”
Monk Tian Yuan said: "The martial arts of the person who rescued him is not low, he should have climbed over the wall or come up from Tianhai Lake." ”
After a pause, he noticed some water stains on the smooth marble floor, all the way to the Holy Jade Hall.
"Take a look inside." Monk Tian Yuan ordered.
The two monks immediately went to open the door, and immediately saw Qingjia sitting calmly in the room.
They were stunned for a moment, then turned back to Monk Tian Yuan and said, "Holy Buddha, he didn't run." ”
Monk Tian Yuan came into the house, glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on Qingjia, "Someone came to save you, why don't you leave?" ”
"I didn't kill Master, and if I left, I would never be able to prove my innocence again." Qing Jia looked at Monk Tian Yuan calmly.
Monk Tian Yuan frowned, and the Qingjia in front of him suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person, and he could only cry and cry before.
"You said the murderer was not you, so who is the real murderer?" He asked.
Qingjia lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, and said, "That day in the Holy Jade Hall, there was only one person besides me. ”
"I've asked you a few times before, why don't you tell it? Today is the death ceremony of Yuanle, and you deliberately made up such a lie in order to get rid of your crimes? There was no sadness or joy in Monk Tianyuan's gaze, as if it didn't matter to him who the murderer was.
"I'm not lying." Qingjia said with a stubborn expression.
Tian Yuan no longer looked at him, and ordered, "Escort him to the Great Ceremony." ”
The two monks on the left and right stepped forward and grabbed Qingjia.
Qingjia gritted his teeth, and sure enough, Tian Yuan didn't care about Yuanle's life or death.
He wanted to struggle, but his body was too weak compared to these warrior monks.
"I have something very important to talk to you about my master." Qingjia's tone was hurried, with a bit of begging for mercy.
Tian Yuan glanced back at him, "What do you want to say?" ”
Qingjia pursed his lips and looked at the monks around him.
Monk Tian Yuan understood what he meant, and asked the other monks to step back with interest.
In the blink of an eye, only Monk Tian Yuan and Qing Jia were left in the hall, as well as the huge Buddha statue behind him.
Qingjia knelt down in front of Monk Tian Yuan, "I heard from Master before that the Xifo Temple will do some private things for you, I will listen to you, I will do whatever you ask me to do, I will never discount it at all, please don't kill me." ”
Monk Tian Yuan's eyes flashed with a fluctuation, but he quickly reined in and returned to his moody appearance, "That night, how did that woman kill Yuanle?" ”
"She killed Master with a spider monster." Qingjia didn't hide it this time.
"Spider monsters?" Monk Tian Yuan narrowed his eyes.
Qingjia said: "I don't know where she came from, she summoned a spider monster out of thin air, just like Sal in hell." ”
"Why don't you make up a more credible lie?"
"I'm not lying."
"Then why did she only kill Yuanle and not you?" Monk Tian Yuan's tone was a little cold.
Qingjia pursed her lips, "I don't know...... She said she was pitiful for me. ”
"What if she killed him because of what Yuanle did for him?" Monk Tian Yuan looked at Qing Jia unhurriedly.
"As long as I can take over the Xifo Temple, I am willing to die for you, the Holy Buddha." Qingjia Dao.
Monk Tian Yuan laughed out loud.
"I don't believe in your loyalty, but if you can kill the woman, I can consider your proposal."
As he spoke, he took out a short blade from his sleeve and threw it in front of Qingjia.
"She's the one who came to save you, right? Even so, you have a way to find her again. ”
"Prove to me if you have the value of letting this seat be gracious for you."
About half an hour later.
Tian Yuan walked out of the Holy Jade Hall.
"Arrest him and take him to the ceremony." He ordered the left and right monks.
The monks arrested Qingjia again.
This time, Qingjia did not struggle, and under their escort, left the Holy Jade Hall.
On the roof of the Holy Jade Hall, Qin Wan and Xiao Yan hid on their stomachs.
They also heard the conversation between Tian Yuan and Qing Jia just now.
"Do you still want to go to the ceremony?" Xiao Yan asked.
Qin Wan said without hesitation: "Naturally, I want to go." ”
"Even if he betrays you, you're still going to go?"
"I killed the person, I just went to clarify the facts, what he wants to do has nothing to do with me." Qin Wan paused and said, "Moreover, he may not have betrayed me. ”
"You believe him so much?" Xiao Yan's tone was actually a little sour.
Qin Wan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "I don't believe that General Xiao, who has been fighting for many years, you don't even have the ability to see people." ”
Qingjia has two personalities, one is very cowardly, and the other is unscrupulous to protect himself.
Those words just now are just his means.
It's just that it is impossible for Qin Wan to be killed and let him kill himself.
