Master Renshan sat in the abbot's room and looked at the monk Qibin in front of him with a pleasant face.

Monk Qi Bin still looked calm as usual, and stood respectfully in front of the abbot master.

Master Renshan looked at Monk Qibin and couldn't help but think to himself in his heart.

It is said that this Qibin monk is Shanxi Yuanqu people's clan, the common family surname Wang, when he was a teenager, he had Huigen, often listened to Master Wuxiang in the local Chongguang Temple**, and later because of the difficulty of making a living at home, that is, he studied under Master Wuxiang to shave his ordination.

Later, when he was in his twenties, he crossed the Yellow River to the south and went to Baofeng Xiangshan Temple to practice under the seat of Elder Yueyin, and studied Buddhism for many years, and had quite a comprehension. I came to Shaolin Temple two years ago, and I was attracted to the throne of Master Ningran.

At that time, the master had already lived in seclusion in the grove on the bank of Tallinn, and he did not want to accept disciples again. So, he summoned the monk Qibin and examined him with the words of life and death, intending to make him retreat from the difficulty.

Monk Qibin knew the difficulties and advanced, vowing to investigate the mystery of this verse, he did not slack off day and night, studied hard, but it was always difficult to understand.

One day, he was sitting alone under the tree in frustration, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a thousand-year-old locust tree sealed by Qin Tu, but suddenly he suddenly opened up, and he was enlightened.

The Master of Reform did not believe that he could have this understanding, so he tested him with witty questions and answers one after another, but he answered them fluently without hesitation.

So the master of the change confirmed that the monk Qibin had realized the deed, and was very happy, so he recognized it and accepted it as a disciple, and exclaimed: "The first sect in the cave is in secret!" The meaning is to praise the monk Qibin for inheriting the mantle of the authentic sect of Caodong.

Since then, Monk Qibin has served in front of the teacher's seat every day, taking care of daily life and food, almost meticulously. It was not until later that Master Ligai recommended him to the abbot Master Renshan to take charge of the temple's quarters and the diet of the monks in the temple.

However, the legendary stories of Monk Qibin are just rumors circulating in private in the temple, and no one has seen with their own eyes how Master Chang tested him and how he accepted him as an apprentice.

Master Renshan really doesn't know much about him, and the only impression is that he is very kind, very polite to everyone, and his reputation in the temple is also very good.

Could a good man like him have anything to do with Senior Brother Chen's murder? Master Renshan couldn't believe it.

After a moment of silence, Master Renshan asked, "Recently, something happened in the temple that made all the monks panic, I don't know what the senior nephew thinks about this matter?"

Monk Qibin lowered his head and replied without thinking: "Uncle Chen's affairs are strange, and it is all up to the abbot and the uncles of the Discipline Hall. I heard that the abbot has entrusted Ye Gongzi to investigate this matter, Ye Gongzi's intelligence and wit are famous all over the world, and he must be able to find out. If necessary, Qi Bin should fully cooperate. ”

These words were said without any mention of his own opinion on the case, and he was indeed a smart man.

Master Renshan was a little helpless, so he had to change the topic and ask: "I heard that a few days ago, a farmer at the foot of the mountain was killed in a fire due to an accidental fire at night, I wonder if it will have an impact on the operation of the house in recent days?"

Monk Qibin replied respectfully: "The old couple who died in an accidental fire was originally in charge of providing vegetables to the young man's house, and the daily amount was not much. ”

Master Renshan nodded with satisfaction, Monk Qibin has always been old-fashioned, rigorous and prudent, and the affairs of the room have always been in good order under his management, which is very reassuring.

After thinking about it, Master Renshan asked again, "I don't know how Senior Brother Gai's diet has been recently, but his health is still well?"

Monk Qibin lowered his head and replied: "Since yesterday, the little monk personally handed over the ancient scroll brought by that Tang Gongzi to the master, the master has forgotten to sleep and eat all day and night, and has devoted himself to interpreting the mysteries, and even the diet is less than half of the usual. The master is already old, but I am afraid that if this continues, it will damage the body. ”

Master Renshan listened to the worry in his words, and couldn't help but be deeply moved by his filial piety, and comforted: "You are relieved, if you have time, the old man will definitely go to visit, and naturally he will also persuade him well, and remind Senior Brother Gai to take care of his body." ”

Qi Bin monk Shen

Give a salute and even thank you.

Master Renshan said: "I have to go to the old master and nephew again, and ask Master Ling, since he has already obtained the scrolls that Ye Gongzi and Tang Gongzi brought them, why is he still stingy to see them?

"According to the old man's opinion, Ye Gongzi and they took two women, and it was inconvenient to stay in the temple, so they always let them stay in the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, and it didn't seem good for a long time? ”

Monk Qibin nodded again and again and took the order.

When he left the abbot's room and walked away, Master Renshan turned around and said to a screen in the temple, "Ye Gongzi, you can come out." ”

From behind the screen, two figures, a man and a woman, turned out, but they were Ye Feng and Cheng Nianzhen!

Master Renshan said to Ye Feng: "Lao Wei has already sent Master Qi Bin's nephew to meet his master in the grove in the back mountain according to what Ye Gongzi said, what should we do next?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Don't do anything, we transferred Monk Qibin, Tang Da just took this opportunity to check his room, and everything will be discussed in the long run when he brings back the results." ”

Master Renshan frowned: "It's just that it is really like Ye Gongzi, as you suspected, will this Senior Nephew of Qi Bin really have something to do with Senior Brother Chen's death?"

Ye Feng was silent and did not answer, but the girl Cheng on the side said to Master Renshan: "Master don't be impatient, can you allow the little girl to be the No. 1 pulse of the master first?"

Master Renshan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why she did this, but he had already heard of this Cheng girl's medical skills, so he was naturally relieved, and immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Of course you can." ”

Cheng Nianzhen put her finger on Master Renshan's vein, and after about a stick of incense, she seemed to have encountered an extremely difficult situation, frowning, and even fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

It took a long time for her to let go of Master Renshan's hand and let out a long breath.

Ye Feng stared at Miss Cheng a little eagerly, and asked with anticipation, "How is it?"

Miss Cheng sighed and said softly: "Sure enough, as we expected, the abbot master is not sick, but poisoned!"

Poisoned? Master Renshan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, what the hell is going on?

Miss Cheng glanced at Master Renshan with some apologies and said: "Actually, as soon as we arrived at Shaolin Temple and saw the master for the first time, I noticed that there was something wrong with the master's face. ”

Master Renshan was shocked and asked, "What poison? Who poisoned it?"

The cold corpse of Master Dust flashed in his mind, and his face suddenly became as dead as ashes.

Miss Cheng guessed what he was thinking when she saw his face, and comforted him softly at the moment: "Master, don't panic, this poison in you is very different from the poison in Master Chen. ”

"Man's Poison?" Master Renshan was stunned.

Ye Feng sighed and said slowly: "Everything has to start from last night. Last night, because we had doubts about the cause of death of the old couple at the foot of the mountain, at the third watch, a few of us quietly went to the grave of the farmer to open the coffin for an autopsy. ”

"Open the coffin for autopsy?" Master Renshan was shocked, Buddhism emphasizes perfection, such things as digging graves and opening coffins, disemboweling and disemboweling are not only difficult to accept among the people, but also even more unimaginable in Buddhism.

Ye Feng pretended not to see Master Renshan's face, and then said: "As a result, we really found out that the old couple who died at the foot of the mountain were actually killed by someone with the Shaolin Dragon Claw hand, and then set fire to the corpse, creating the illusion of an accidental fire. ”

Master Renshan felt even more shocked in his heart: "Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand, could it be that this murderer is actually a person from the Shaolin Temple?"

Ye Feng nodded and continued: "Not only that, according to my speculation, Master Lichen must have discovered some clues in advance, so he insisted on personally investigating the death of this old couple by fire." However, with his insight and ability, it is impossible not to see the true cause of the death of this old couple. ”

But in the end he covered it up

Matter, not only hastily disposed of the corpses of the old couple, but also claimed that they died in an accidental fire when they returned to the temple, there can only be one reason why he did this, he already has the object of suspicion, but because of the special identity of this suspect and his extremely high status, in the absence of evidence, Master Lichen does not want to startle the snake, so he will do it. ”

Master Renshan nodded again and again, deeply convinced.

Ye Feng sighed: "It's a pity that this murderer is really cunning, he still saw the flaw and understood that Master Dust had begun to suspect him, so he took the risk to design and poison Master Chen." ”

Master Inzan said, "Reasonable. ”

Ye Feng slowed down his speech and said slowly: "In this way, the question arises, since this murderer has a special identity and extremely high status, why would he want to kill such an old couple who don't know martial arts at all? Could it be that this old couple knows some of his secrets?"

Master Renshan also nervously asked, "What secret?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Originally, I couldn't think of it, but last night we happened to discover a strange scene, plus just now for the master of your pulse, I found a kind of man-nature poison in your body, so I figured out the whole thing." ”

Master Inzan asked, "What strange sight?"

Ye Feng said: "We found that in the vegetable field of the old couple who died, under the moonlight, that piece of land actually reflected a light blue fluorescence!"

Master Renshan was stunned for a moment, not understanding.

Miss Cheng on the side explained: "I checked the vegetable field and found that there is a very peculiar poison in the soil, which is colorless and tasteless, but it can penetrate into the vegetables planted in this vegetable field, so that the vegetables also contain this toxin. ”

"And although vegetables contain this toxin, because the content is very small, ordinary inspection methods can not detect it at all, and it can really be done without knowing it. However, although the content of this vegetable is very small, the toxin will not be decomposed and eliminated by the human body itself, but accumulated in the body, when the toxin is more and more, when it reaches a certain amount, it will one day suddenly die of poison. ”

Master Renshan was shocked when he heard this: "What a powerful method, such a vicious scheming!"

Miss Cheng sneered and said, "What's even more terrifying is that the origin of this man-nature poison is exactly the same as the poison that poisoned Master Chen, it all comes from the five poisons of Miaojiang! This poison is very secretive, the only drawback is that it will show a light blue fluorescence under the moonlight, if it is not just happened to be seen by us in the middle of the night, I am afraid that no one will be able to find out at all." ”

Ye Feng nodded and continued: "Maybe it was because the old couple discovered this vision in their vegetable field and became suspicious, so they were killed by the murderer." ”

Master Renshan nodded in agreement, and then frowned again: "Even so, why do you suspect Senior Nephew Shangqibin?"

Ye Feng sighed and said, "Master, please think about it, where are the vegetables they grow for this old couple who died?"

Master Renshan replied without thinking, "Young man's room!"

Ye Feng continued to ask, "And who is in charge of and setting up the young man's room, and who is dedicated to providing food and drink for your two masters?"

It was in view of the hard work of the two masters that he took the initiative to set up this young man's room.

He is in charge of the day-to-day operation of this young man's house, and it is not all up to him to decide whose vegetables are used? In this way, these poisonous vegetables can enter the daily diet of Master Renshan without realizing it.

Master Renshan's face changed: "Could it be that the purpose of this murderer is actually to assassinate and poison me?"

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "I'm afraid it's more than that, although we haven't met yet, so I can't judge, but I guess that the other master who was provided with food by this young man must have also been poisoned." ”

Master Renshan felt extremely shocked at this time: "You said Senior Brother Chang? He is the master of Senior Brother Qi Bin's nephew! Could it be that he would be so heartbroken and mad that he would also kill his own master?"

Ye Feng bowed his head and was silent, in fact, he also hoped that his judgment was wrong.

It's a pity that at this time, Tang Da's voice came from outside the door: "Found it!"

Tang Da is back!
