In the depths of the prison of Ailao Mountain, a broken small gate is squeaking in the mountain wind of the peak, Liu Fan came to this small gate that has been closed for thousands of years under the guidance of He Feng, broken mountain stones, messy footsteps, Liu Fan stood at the door to the door The palace outside the door is a steep mountain, the steep road can only allow one person to walk through, and a few trees on the side of the road have already been cut down and thrown aside.

"Jing Ke, go down this road and check to see if there are any clues. Jing Ke nodded, and walked out of the dilapidated small door, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

"He Feng, have the records of the prisoner's escape been counted?" "The death row in this Ailao Mountain is full of death row prisoners of the empire, and every prisoner who escapes may set off a bloody storm in the empire, and now the most important thing is to issue the names of all these people to the local government on the list and arrest them.

"All of them have been counted, except for those who were killed and those who were caught, the list of the rest of the people is here. He Feng took out a list from his arms and handed it to Liu Fan, Liu Fan took the list and looked at it carefully, counting down the number of no less than a hundred, Liu Fan frowned and looked at the list page by page, the detailed criminal records of each prisoner are recorded in detail in the book, and each of them is a butcher executioner.

Liu Fan handed the list in his hand to Guo Jiadao, who was behind him: "I want to take this list, you are going to prepare a copy, I will take it back and hand it over to the imperial court." Did anyone not participate in this rebellion?"

"Yes, Totong. There was one who did not see the rebellion. Come with me, and I will take him to the man's prison. He Feng turned around and walked in front, followed He Feng around a few corners, and came to a relatively remote prison. The surrounding prisons have been destroyed, only this prison is still intact, a person with his back to the cell door is sitting inside, there are still more than a dozen soldiers standing nervously opposite this prison, He Feng asked the soldiers to retreat, leaving only He Feng and Liu Fan, Li Kui and Guo Jia.

"Dutong, it's just that this person didn't participate in this prison break. He Feng walked to the front of the prison door, showing a look of fear.

"Who is he?"

"A deviant monk Jueyuan. Nicknamed Bodhidharma Buddha, this person used to be a disciple of a high-ranking monk, and later defected from the monastery because he couldn't stand the rules of the monastery, and had a conflict with an official in Jingzhou. He killed more than 100 members of this official's family, and later killed hundreds of people after coming to Youzhou, killing countless people in the Vertical and Horizontal Empire, few opponents in the period, and countless catchers and bounty hunters died at his hands. It wasn't until twenty-two years ago that he surrendered to the imperial government. He Feng was on the side, his face was a little unnatural to explain Jueyuan's identity.

"Your name is Jueyuan, you didn't participate in this prison break, I want to know weishenme?" Liu Fan stood aside, staring sharply at Jueyuan's background.

"Dutong, this person hasn't spoken to anyone since he suddenly surrendered two years ago. They usually meditate in prisons, and they never participate in the reformation of the Empire. He Feng stood aside and added, "There was originally one more person in his prison. But because he couldn't stand it all day long, he chose to commit suicide, so no one in his prison would come here except for delivering food. ”

"I want to know the reason?" Guo Jia stood outside the prison with sharp eyes, but his tone was very calm: "Captain He, open the prison and I'm going to go in." ”

"The lord doesn't need to worry, he won't kill me, you stay outside. Liu Fan was stopped by Guo Jia before he could say anything, He Feng glanced at Liu Fan, Liu Fan nodded, He Feng asked a soldier to open the door of the prison, Guo Jia took the lead and walked in, Liu Fan and Li Kui were just about to raise their legs and walk in, and suddenly felt a strong Liliang pushing the two outward, Liu Fan and others were shocked, they could still have such a strong strength when they were locked by the lock fairy stone, Liu Fan and others had to fight hard, and the soldiers not far away even set up bows and arrows and pointed at Jueyuan.........,

"It would be nice for him to come in alone. Jueyuan's faint voice came out, Guo Jia turned around and waved his hand at Liu Fan, Liu Fan finally chose to stay outside the prison, but the archers still stayed outside, although this Jueyuan did not participate in the prison escape, but Liu Fan was still not at ease with him.

Guo Jia walked into the prison, walked to Jueyuan and knelt on the ground, did not speak, the dim oil lamp illuminated Jueyuan's pale face, Jueyuan knocked the wooden fish in his hand, counted the Buddhist beads in his hand, and finally muttered the scriptures, Guo Jia was not in a hurry, and sat opposite Jueyuan with his eyes closed, as if enjoying Jueyuan's scriptures to soak his soul.

"Young man, if you have anything to ask, just ask. Jueyuan tapped the wooden fish and counted the Buddha beads, and said to Guo Jia that his voice was as weak as the vibration of a fly's wings, and it happened that Guo Jia could hear it, but the people outside didn't know what the people inside were talking about.

"I want to know what the whole story is. Guo Jia's eyes were sharp, staring at Jueyuan's face, this was the first time Guo Jia could not see through a person so much, although he had killed countless people, but Guo Jia did not feel any killing intent at all, as if the person sitting in front of him was only an old monk who was about to come to the end of his life.

Knock knock, the percussion sound of the wooden fish echoed in this empty prison, Guo Jia sat quietly opposite Jueyuan and waited for Jueyuan's answer, and Jueyuan did not return to Guo Jia's words and continued to recite his Buddhist scriptures, Guo Jia closed his eyes again to enjoy Jueyuan's Buddhist scriptures, and a clear liliang poured into Guo Jia's body, expelling the distracting thoughts in Guo Jia's heart.

"Young people, life and death have fate, everyone is blessed, and there are some things that cannot be forced. ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Master, I know, life and death have a life and wealth in the sky, but the master sometimes has his own life should have his own decision, the master can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha twenty-two years ago, I think the master must have understood the Buddhist scriptures, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I think the master will not abandon the people of the world." ”

"Young people. Some things can be known, some things can't be known, you want to be persistent and save the people of the world?"

Guo Jia folded his hands and made a Buddhist salute to Jueyuan, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Master." The common people in the world are not saved by you and me, only they can save them, I understand the master's words, but I still have a sentence that I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

"You say. ”

"Master, I heard that you had few opponents in the past to conquer the empire, and killed many hunters and officials who caught and bounty hunters, I want to ask the master if they deserve to die?"

Jue Yuan stopped the movements of his hand with a bang, and slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Guo Jia. Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Jueyuan's eyes would be so full of stories, profound, and sad. It's not like the eyes that a murderous demon should have, this kind of deep and penetrating eyes is like a profound Buddhist scripture, giving people infinite imagination, and making people's hearts quiet in an instant.

"Young man, if a man is a man who preys on the people and commits adultery with his wife. Regardless of the life or death of the people, they only know how to covet pleasure, do you think this kind of person should be killed or not?"

"Damn it!"

"If someone kills innocent people in vain and does ghost things in human skin, do you think this kind of person should be killed?"

"Damn it!"

Jueyuan closed his eyes again and looked at the wooden fish in his hand. didn't say a word to Guo Jia again, Guo Jia also sat quietly opposite Jueyuan and waited. It was waiting for Jueyuan's answer, twenty-two years of enlightenment in life and death. Guo Jia knew that Jueyuan still had something to say to him.

"Young man, you go, you already know what you should know, and you can't let you know what you shouldn't know, so let's leave. Jueyuan stopped the wooden fish in his hand, took the wooden stick in his hand and drew a symbol on the ground and said to Guo Jia. ...,

Guo Jia stood up and bowed to Jueyuan: "Thank you for the master's guidance, Jia knows what to do." ”

"Young man, you have a good eye, you can find such a person who can achieve great things at a young age, I will send you another word: don't be kind to women, otherwise it will become a big disaster!"

"Thank you for the master's words, Jia will definitely take this sentence to heart and always remember the master's teachings. Guo Jia waved at Jueyuan and walked out, a soldier behind him hurriedly went up to lock Jueyuan's prison door, Guo Jia glanced at Liu Fan, Liu Fan nodded, and kowtowed to Jueyuan and led people out of Jueyuan's prison.

The cruel trial in the prison of Ailao Mountain continued, Liu Fan sat in the torture room and looked at the few confiscated notes in front of him, and the continuous screams resounded in this small prison, the jailer desperately beat the captured death row prisoners, and Guo Jia was standing beside him watching several prisoners tied to the torture rack.

"Lord, don't interrogate, these people don't know anything, they don't know as much as I know. Guo Jia's sharp gaze swept over everyone, Liu Fan nodded, and motioned for everyone to take all these prisoners down, leaving Guo Jia alone in the room, while Li Kui was holding two axes to guard the door.

"Any clues?"

"Yes, but not much. Guo Jia picked up a note on the table with a solemn face and said: "These notes are new and old, it is obvious that these people did not receive the prison escape notice together, referring to some of them are observing, observing some people who do not want to escape from prison, and those who die are those who do not want to escape from prison, and I got a word from Jueyuan Event, I don't know what this means." ”

"What words? And who is going to observe these prisoners? It stands to reason that these people are death row prisoners of the Empire, and everyone should want to escape. Liu Fan didn't understand Guo Jia's words, could it be that there were really people in this prison who were as unwilling to escape as Jueyuan?

Guo Jia walked in front of a corpse, lifted the corpse, opened the corpse's eyes, looked at it, and said: "Medicine, Master Jueyuan only wrote this one word to me, but I really can't figure out the meaning of this, the lord had better find someone to see if these people have signs of poisoning, and it is best to compare them with those who were killed." ”

"Someone, get me a doctor, and bring me the corpse of a soldier who was killed as a prisoner. Liu Fan shouted outside, and soon a soldier from the Praetorian Guard walked in with a doctor.

Liu Fan pointed to a corpse on the ground and said, "You give me a careful check to see if these people are poisoned, and whether one of the prisoners has been poisoned in between." ”

The doctor nodded, walked to the side of the two corpses and slowly began the test, it didn't take long for the doctor's brows to wrinkle, and then the brows were gradually twisted together, the doctor shook his head and stood up, walked to Liu Fan and said: "Dutong, please forgive me for being incompetent, and I didn't verify that there was any poison in the two, but there are indeed some substances in the blood of the deceased that are different from ordinary people." ”

"Don't you know what it is?" Liu Fan frowned, walked over to the body of the prisoner who was killed, opened the corpse's mouth, and found nothing.

"I can't find out, I've never seen anything like this, and there is no similar substance recorded in the Imperial Medicine Scriptures. The doctor shook his head.

"I know, you go down first, don't mention this matter to anyone. Liu Fan waved his hand to dismiss the doctor, who gave the medicine and what was their purpose......? ...... ，
