Chapter 57: Buried Alive

Chu Xiuran had never seen such a magnificent temple.

In his hometown, although the good Longquan Temple is just a Buddha wrapped in gold in the temple, but at this moment, the Lingyin Temple may be very elaborate except for the fact that he is more out of place when he just came in.

He has been to Huayue Tower, which is praised by everyone as the first green building in the world, and has also been to Fengming Tower, the best and most upscale building in Yuhang County, but no matter which one, it is not as dazzling as the Great Compassion Building in front of him.

Chu Xiuran's father worshiped the history of Chenzhou's assassination, and he was regarded as the first-class official in Chenzhou, and he was the fifth grade, in Chenzhou, Chu Xiuran was the second ancestor of the proper city, and he was the best in the entire Chenzhou.

But even so, Chu Xiuran was still shocked by the magnificence of the Great Compassion Building, and he hadn't even seen the materials on it, but he knew that even if the richest and most picky boss came, he couldn't find fault with these materials.

Chu Xiuran asked, "Dare to ask the senior monk?" ”

Now there are only two people left, one is Chu Xiuran, and the other is a fishing monk, so naturally they are asking the fishing monk.

The fishing monk was very polite in his gestures, walking straight by Chu Xiuran's side, and when he heard his question, he immediately stopped, put his hands together and said, "The poor monk has no immortals." ”

Chu Xiuran was stunned, hurriedly saluted, and said suspiciously: "You...... No Immortals...... Who are you? ”

Wu Xian said: "The poor monk is the host of this Lingyin Temple. ”

Chu Xiuran smiled awkwardly, "Presiding? You don't look like you're in your twenties. ”

Wu Xian said: "Not only does it seem, but the poor monk has only grown up for more than twenty years. ”

Chu Xiuran said: "But...... Master Hui Bing said, you have been practicing in the Western Regions for ten years......"

"Thirteen years, three years of going back and forth, ten years of practice, of course, the poor monk thinks that these three years are also considered cultivation."

Wuxian looked up at the new dawn, his eyes flashed, that memory seemed to be not a practice for him, but a good life, "The poor monk went to the Western Regions at the age of nine, came back at the age of twenty-two, and succeeded as the abbot of Lingyin Temple at the age of twenty-five. ”

Chu Xiuran was in awe, but he remembered that he was here to investigate the case, so he had to behave a little bit of unqualified, so he smiled coldly, "I see, it seems that the local monks of Lingyin Temple are not as good as a monk who came back from the Western Regions, and the Dharma is high?" ”

Wu Xian was not angry, and a smile appeared on his calm face.

Chu Xiuran concluded at this moment that if this immortalless monk was a woman, she would definitely become the most beautiful woman in the capital and even in the entire Shaoyang, and she would definitely become the darling of the world in less than three days. But after thinking about it again, he felt uncomfortable, if he was a woman, he would definitely like Bai Yujing to be so handsome, or he would like dignitaries and nobles, and he would not like himself anyway.

Wuxian smiled and said: "Whether to be a host or not is not decided by the poor monks, nor by the Dharma, nor by the region......

His voice became farther and farther away, more and more ethereal, and suddenly he was pulled back again, "Where does Lord Chu want to check?" The poor monk accompanies you. ”

Chu Xiuran said: "Great Compassion Building." ”

Wuxian said: "Okay, please." ”

Bypassing the Mani Hall where the monks lived, the two stood at the door of the Great Compassion Building, and the monks at the door bowed to the immortals, and then directly opened the door and retreated to the side.

Chu Xiuran understood in his heart: "This guy is really the host, so he didn't lie to me." But he took me into the Great Compassion Building so grandly, could it be true that Xia Wanning was really lying to me? Is it true, just go up and see it? I've only been here for a long time, and if this is a place to kill, they won't have time to clean up the mess. ”

Having made up his mind, Chu Xiuran no longer worries, whether it was a mule or a horse that came out to slip away, what was going on, you would know at a glance!

Wuxin explained: "It has only been three years since the Great Compassion Building was built, and everything is relatively new. With a total of nine floors, it is the tallest building in Yuhang County. ”

Chu Xiuran said: "These nine layers are all Buddhist scriptures? ”

Wuxin stretched out his hand to invite Chu Xiuran to walk towards the stairs leading to the second floor, and said with a smile: "There are no Buddhist scriptures in the Great Compassion Building. ”

Chu Xiuran said: "What's in there?" ”

Wuxin said: "My lord went to see it for himself, don't you know?" ”

As soon as the two of them walked to the staircase, a big monk appeared above, the big monk was wearing a purple and gold robe, his face was rich, and his body was fat, and he knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary monk.

The monk clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "Presiding, who is this?" ”

Wuxin introduced Chu Xiuran to the great monk, turned his head and introduced: "This is Master Huimian, one of the four Dharma Protector Masters of Lingyin Temple. ”

A master of braised noodles?

Chu Xiuran was happy in his heart.

Hui Mian said: "Lord Chu came to the Great Compassion Building in person, what is the matter?" ”

Chu Xiuran said: "It's to investigate the case." ”

Hui's face wrinkled, "Investigating the case? What case needs to be investigated in Dabei Building? I hope you will inform you one or two. ”

Chu Xiuran said: "I'm investigating the murder of a woman and a boy who haven't been out of the cabinet for a year. ”

Hui Mian stared at Chu Xiuran and said, "What do you mean, what do you mean, someone in the Great Compassion Building killed the women and boys who have not left the pavilion?" ”

Chu Xiuran said: "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to go up and check the clues." ”

Hui Mian was suddenly a little embarrassed, and put one hand in front of him and said: "Good, good, Dabei Lou is the holy land of Lingyin Temple, your lord is so blasphemous to the Buddha, aren't you afraid of the county order to punish you?" ”

Chu Xiuran smiled, "Master, may I ask where is this Great Compassion Building?" ”

Hui Mian said: "The Great Compassion Building is the holy land of Lingyin Temple, of course, in Lingyin Temple, here." ”

Chu Xiuran said: "Where is the Lingyin Temple?" ”

Hui Mian said: "Everyone in the world knows that Lingyin Temple is in Yuhang County, which is the first ...... in the south of the Yangtze River."

Chu Xiuran didn't bother to listen to him continue, "Then let me ask you, is the county lieutenant of Yuhang County in charge of the entire Yuhang County?" ”

Hui's face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

Chu Xiuran smiled slightly, "If there is really a murderer here, I hope the master will help, if there is no murderer here, I will take a look at this holy land, and it will also be contaminated with the light of the Buddha, wouldn't it be a good thing?" ”

The corners of Hui Mian's mouth twitched a few times, "Do you have to go?" ”

Chu Xiuran said: "Not bad. ”

Hui Mian said: "Then please walk over the corpse of the poor monk." ”

Chu Xiuran was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wuxin on the side, "You monks from Lingyin Temple all talk like this?" ”

Wuxin clasped his hands together and smiled slightly: "It's just that Senior Brother Huimian is like this, and the others are more polite." The poor monk was a fierce man before he became a monk, and now although he has entered the Dharma, his temperament has not changed much. ”

Chu Xiuran said, "Master, I have to go in." ”

Hui Mian closed his eyes, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

There is only this entrance to this upward staircase, which has been firmly blocked by Master Huimian, Chu Xiuran is impossible to break through no matter what, the strength of the two sides is even more different, and it is completely impossible to break through.

Chu Xiuran felt a little helpless, but still said: "I have never killed anyone, and I don't know how to kill people, but I have seen others fight with swords, Master Wuxin, can you borrow a knife or sword from Guibaosha?" ”

Wuxin was stunned, "My lord...... What to do? ”

Chu Xiuran said: "Kill." ”

Hui Mian opened his eyes, as if there was already a fire burning, he took out a silver blade from his back without saying a word, and stretched it out in front of Chu Xiuran, "My lord, please!" ”

Chu Xiuran respectfully took the silver blade, then turned around and walked down, crouched in front of the desk, borrowed a pen and paper on the side to write a few lines, and then took out the official seal he carried with him, took off the ink on it, and then returned to Master Huimian.

"Master, please." Chu Xiuran held the paper in his left hand and the ink in his right hand, and held it in front of the master.

Master Huimian looked carefully, and the handwriting on it was: [Master Huimian of Lingyin Temple in Yuhang County, when you beg for death in front of the door, if you want to enter the second floor of the Great Compassion Building, you can kill me, and you are bent on death, and it has nothing to do with others. 】

Master Huimian crumpled the paper, pinched Chu Xiuran's shoulder viciously, and said angrily: "A county lieutenant is also going to be presumptuous here!" I'm going to kill you right now, and no one will know! ”

Chu Xiuran lowered his head and sighed, "Sure enough...... The Great Compassion Building is the place where those people were killed, right? It seems that the one who blasphemed the Buddha was not me, but you. ”

Master Huimian shouted angrily, "Bastard! If you're messing around, you're not afraid of me......"

Chu Xiuran took out the silver blade and said softly, "If I compare the scars on the chests of those three children, do you guess that they match?" ”

Impressively!

Master Huimian slammed out with a palm!

Chu Xiuran's blood spurted wildly, his front was dark, and he passed out.

……

A cold air suddenly spread throughout the body.

Chu Xiuran was suddenly startled.

It was pitch black.

Then there was a sharp pain all over his body, and his sensation gradually became clearer.

Where is this?

Where am I?

He hurriedly tried to sit up, but his head slammed into the heavy plank above.

Boom!

Muffled.

He writhed on all fours, only to find himself locked in a confined space, just big enough for a person to lie down and just enough for him to move.

This is......

Plank.

Sturdy planks.

Coffin!

Chu Xiuran screamed frantically.

But no matter how much he screamed, there was no response.

Everything around seems to be cut off.

"I ...... No...... It's already buried! ”

He snapped his eyes open and looked out into the small, pitch-black space.

The feeling of suffocation gradually devoured everything from his mind.
