Li Huaiyun led the horse and walked in the direction pointed by the villager, and along the way, the people living in the village looked at him with strange eyes.

After walking for a while, I came to a temple in the village, which is the largest house in the village, with two floors, two white cloth bags draped from the roof, and a plaque in the middle, the handwriting on it has been blurred, and only one of the characters can be distinguished, mystery.

On either side was a strange plant, shaped like a mourning stick, the petals were pure white, and the meridians were subtle red.

Seeing this, Li Huaiyun also felt a little strange in his heart, this temple really fits a mystery, and the appearance layout is like a cemetery.

He tied his horse to a large tree next to the Jongmyo Temple, then walked into the Jongmyo Temple, passed the courtyard of a fish pond, and came to the main hall of the Jongmyo Temple.

At this time, an old man sitting in the lobby saw a stranger coming here, so he immediately got up, greeted him, and asked loudly, "Who are you and why did you come to Ling Village?" ”

Li Huaiyun clenched his fists and asked, "Is this the village chief of Ling Village?" ”。

The village chief nodded, and also responded with a fist, "It is the village chief of Ling Village below, and his surname is Jin!" ”

He looked the stranger up and down, "Look at the way you look, it seems that you have fled here?" What is it? If you lie, it will affect the whole village! ”

"The village chief misunderstood!" Li Huaiyun hurriedly said, "I am an official of the imperial court, serving in Dali Temple, and I am here today just to arrest criminals!" ”

"Prisoner!" Village Chief Jin was suspicious of him, for so many years, there has not been an official here, why did someone come today? ”

"People from the court? Do you have an oracle or something to prove, otherwise, I can't believe you! ”

Li Huaiyun carefully took out the token of the Demon Slaying Division, and then covered the two words on it, revealing only one division character, "This arrest needs to be strictly kept secret!" ”

He quickly retrieved the token.

The village chief didn't look into it and asked, "What kind of criminal?" ”

"This person committed a murder in Kyoto, and after many investigations, he has come to the vicinity of this place, so I wonder if he is hiding in the village?"

"That can't be!" Village Chief Jin waved his hand directly, "There are hundreds of households in this village, and they are quite wary of outsiders coming to the village, so it is even more impossible to let the murderer hide here!" ”

"Where else can I hide?"

Jin Village Chief pondered for a moment, "The nearest county from here is also about a hundred miles, otherwise it is a mountain forest, there are often fierce beasts infested, and at night it is even more dangerous, it should be impossible for this murderer to hide there,"

"I see, if this murderer is taken away by a jackal in the wilderness, then there will definitely be no way to find it!"

"So, my lord, don't doubt Hishimura!"

"It's not a suspicion, it's just that I'm worried that the murderer is hiding in this village and doing evil! If no one can stop it, I'm afraid that the entire Ling Village will suffer! ”

"This is a vicious man?"

"Exactly!"

The corners of the village chief's mouth rose slightly, with a slight smile, "Then just in case, I will immediately ask someone to conduct an inventory in the village!" ”

He called the patrol team in the village, and asked them to immediately go to all parts of the village, where people are hidden, whether there are any living people hiding in the village, looking at the figure of the patrol team leaving, he clapped his hands nervously, "I hope to thoroughly investigate it as soon as possible." ”

Li Huaiyun stepped forward and asked, "The village chief doesn't need to panic, when the time comes, I will come forward and don't panic!" ”

The village chief shook his head, "But...!" ”

"Compared to this, I'm more worried about another situation, before I chased here, I heard that there is a Jueming Temple near Ling Village, if this murderer escapes there, will it be even worse?"

"Jueming Temple!" The village chief suddenly fell into deep thought, and after a while, the expression on his face also showed a faint worry!

Doesn't this village chief know? Why do you want to think about it for so long?

Li Huaiyun complained in his heart, if this problem has been thought about for so long, could it be that this Jueming Temple still has a little relationship with here?

The village chief stroked the beard on his chin and looked at Li Huaiyun, "If the murderer goes to that place, it will be the best way." ”

"Oh!" Li Huaiyun was a little puzzled, "Why did the village chief say that." ”

"The place in Jueming Temple is very evil, and the murderer is bound to be safe when he runs there, but he can't get down!"

Similar to the statement of the old monk Yunyou, Li Huaiyun thought to himself, it seems that this Jueming Temple really has a big problem.

He sat down in his seat, "Please tell the village chief why this is so." ”

Jin Village Chief picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Those monks in Jueming Temple are not fuel-efficient lamps, they say they want to teach you exercises, but after you learn it, these people will only make you let go of your desires and devote yourself to Jueming Temple to practice Buddhism." ”

Li Huaiyun quipped, "The village chief understands quite clearly!" It seems to have come down from the temple. ”

The village chief frowned and sneered, "Nonsense, how many years have I been the village chief here, and I have received many people like that, who are bent on going to the temple and seeking supreme martial arts!" But in the end, they gave everything they had, but they stayed in Jueming Temple. ”

"That's how evil that place is!"

The village chief snorted, "That's natural, otherwise how could those martial arts cultivators end up like this!" ”

He looked at Li Huaiyun with a sharp gaze, "I saw your discussion of Jueming Temple, with some expectations in your expression!" ”

"This temple must have something special about it that makes those practitioners flock to it, and there really is something attractive about it."

"Young man, I advise you not to sink too deep! You can't give what they want, and if you give it, you can't do without it, so what's the use of asking for these exercises? ”

Li Huaiyun sighed and took a deep breath, "What the village chief said is extremely true, but curiosity is human nature, I really want to see it for a long time!" ”

The village chief could only shake his head helplessly, "It's hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words,"

"The village chief, in what direction is this Jueming Temple?"

"Since you're so persistent, I'll tell you!"

The village chief raised his hand to the side, "If you go east of this village, you will see a mountain, and Jueming Temple is on the mountainside of that mountain, and you can go up the steps." ”

"It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out."

Li Huaiyun clasped his fists and saluted, "Then thank you to the village chief!" ”

After waiting for a long time, the patrol returned to the Jongmyo and reported the situation to the village chief, and the whole village was in good condition and there was no one hiding here.

"Then it seems that this murderer is really hiding in the temple! Or somewhere else, take your leave and go to the temple. ”
