Chu Mofeng knocked on the door, only to hear a 'squeak' The door opened, Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er behind him immediately clenched the weapons in their hands, looked at the person who opened the door nervously, and saw a little monk walk out, clasped his hands together at the three and said: "Amitabha, I don't know what the three donors are doing when they visit Lianyun Temple late at night?"

Chu Mofeng put away his weapon and clasped his hands together at the little monk and said: "Little master, the three of us have tracked down the demon who killed the girl in red so far, and we have lost the trace of the target, because the other party is very cruel and afraid of harming the masters in the temple, so I hope we can go in and investigate, I hope you will forgive me!"

The little monk pondered for a while and said, "Donor, please wait for a while, and then I will go in and tell the abbot to make a decision." Then he turned and disappeared into the doorway.

At this time, Chu Mofeng turned to Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er and said, "After going in for a while, take the opportunity to act, and take off all the masks, so as not to startle the snake." Hearing this, the second daughter hurriedly took off the mask and pinned it to her waist, and then Chu Mofeng also took off her Yaksha mask.

After a while, the little monk came to the door again and said to Chu Mofeng and the others, "Amitabha, the three donors, please follow the little monk to the main hall, and the abbot wants to see you." Then he opened the door and led Chu Mofeng and the three of them to the main hall.

At this time, the lights in Lianyun Temple are bright, the main hall is the figure flickering, when the three people came to the main hall, an old monk with white hair came forward, and said to the three people: "Amitabha, the poor monk Lianyun Temple presided over Yuantong, and saw three donors. I don't know if the arrival of the three donors is far away, and I hope the donors will forgive me. ”

Chu Mofeng gave a salute to Master Yuantong and said: "The master is serious, the three of us came to visit late at night, disturbing your rest, and I hope the master will forgive me, it is really helpless to visit at this time, because the three of us have tracked the red-clothed murderer to this point, but this thief has lost his trace outside the gate of the Guibao Temple, and I am worried that this thief will sneak into the temple and harm the masters, so I have no choice but to enter the temple to investigate, and Master Wanwang will make it convenient." ”

Master Yuantong pondered for a while and said, "Since the donor believes that the thief has infiltrated the temple, then the old man will summon the monks in the temple to come so that the donor can inspect it." Then Master Yuantong said to a monk behind him: "Huiqing, go and gather everyone in the temple to come to the main hall, go quickly." ”

The monk named Huiqing answered and ran out of the main hall, and after a while, many monks came in from outside the hall one after another, Chu Mofeng saw this and shouted: "I am tired of all the masters to stand on the left side of the main hall first, and please stand on the right side of the main hall after I finish checking." ”

When the monks heard this, they glanced at Master Yuantong, and when they saw Master Yuantong nodding, they all stood on the left side of the main hall, Chu Mofeng saw that the monks were standing, and then stepped forward, pressed the left shoulder socket of each monk one by one, and after pressing one and found that there was no problem, he said 'offended' to the person in front of him, and then Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er asked this person to stand on the right side of the hall and wait.

After thinking for a long time, Chu Mofeng turned around and saluted Master Yuantong and said, "Master, may I ask if all the monks in Guibao Temple have arrived?"

Master Yuantong raised his head and said to Chu Mofeng: "Donor, a total of fifty monks from the temple and Lao Wei have arrived. Since the donor didn't find anything, there is nothing that can be done about it. ”

At this time, Gu Zhen'er suddenly spoke: "Master, there are only forty-nine monks in the main hall now, including you, one less." ”

Master Yuantong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then turned around and counted again, then turned his head and saluted Chu Mofeng and the three of them, saying: "Amitabha, this female benefactor is really discerning, it is indeed an old man who is confused, and there is still one less person who has not arrived." Then Master Yuantong turned his head and said to Huiqing, "Huiqing, didn't you ask you to call all the monks in the temple to the main hall? Why didn't you arrive?"

Hui Qing gave a salute to Master Yuantong and said: "Please forgive the master, I just went to the room to call Hui Ze, the senior brother said that he has a cold recently, and he is afraid of infecting the rest of the senior brothers, so let me tell you, the hall was so busy just now, I forgot about it in a hurry, and asked the master to forgive me." ”

Hearing Huiqing say this, Yuantong hurriedly saluted the three of them and said: "Amitabha, sins and sins, since there is still one person who has not arrived, then the old man will let Huiqing invite him to come, and the donor should not be blamed." Then Master Yuantong turned to Huiqing and said, "Quickly bring your junior brother to the main hall, don't make the three donors wait for a long time." ”

Hui Qing turned around and was about to retire, but Chu Mofeng stretched out his hand to stop him, and said to Master Yuantong: "Since Master Hui Ze is infected with the wind cold, then we should go to Master Hui Ze's room to check, what do you think, Master?"

Yuantong gave a salute and said, "Since the donor is not too troublesome, then please move the three of you." Then he made a gesture of please and led the three of them to the area where the monks lived. Walking on the road, Chu Mofeng whispered to Liu Feiyan: "You and Zhen'er are ready, I have a hunch that we will meet the murderer soon." ”

Liu Feiyan answered, and then clasped the buckle of the soft sword at his waist with his right hand, and glanced at Gu Zhen'er, Gu Zhen'er also turned the knife behind her back when she saw this, and held the handle of the knife with her right hand.

The group came to the door of Hui Ze's room, and Hui Qing went up and knocked on the door and said, "Senior Brother Hui Ze, the master has come to see you, is it convenient for us to go in?"

I only heard a dull voice in the room shouting: "Master, forgive me, the disciple is infected with the wind cold, and he is afraid of infecting you and all the senior brothers, so it is inconvenient to meet the guests, please go back." ”

At this time, the moonlight came out again to illuminate the entire residential area, and Gu Zhen'er carefully found that there was a drop of blood at the door of Hui Ze, and then touched Liu Feiyan's shoulder, pointed to the drop of blood and said, "Cousin, look at the ground at the door." ”

Liu Feiyan followed Gu Zhen'er's instructions, and saw that in addition to the drop of blood on the ground, there were similar blood stains on the door frame, and then whispered to Chu Mofeng: "Be careful, the red-clothed demon is inside, and there are blood stains on the door frame." ”

When Chu Mofeng heard this, he took out the Burning Sky in his hand, and then shouted to the door: "Don't hide, the bloodstains at the door have betrayed you, even if you don't come out, return my darts to me." ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and then only a laugh was heard, and then the door suddenly collapsed, and a monk-like person came out with a long knife in his hand, and said to Chu Mofeng and the others: "The three of you are really ghostly, this can allow you to find me and die." Then he raised his long knife and stabbed at Chu Mofeng.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng poked the tip of the knife in his hand against him, only to hear the sound of 'ding', the tip of the knife and the tip of the gong came together, Chu Mofeng immediately flipped the burning sky in his hand, and knocked Hui Ze's knife out with a flick of the situation. He took a step forward and pointed the Burning Sky to Hui Ze's neck and said, "If you dare to put your left hand into your arms and take out the flashbang, don't blame me for sending you to your Buddha." ”

At this time, Master Yuantong looked at Hui Ze with a surprised expression and said, "Hui Ze, are you really the one who killed those female donors? Why do you have to do this? Have you long forgotten the rules and precepts in the temple?"

Hui Ze glanced at Master Yuantong and said, "Master, the disciple is deeply guilty, Master Wanwang should stop worrying about the disciple, these things are all done by the disciple alone." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng said coldly to Hui Ze: "Those women have nothing to do with you, why did you kill them so cruelly?"

Hui Ze slowly explained the reason at this time, it turned out that Hui Ze was from Douhe County before he became a monk, and he had a wife and a child at home, that was Hui Ze was out to make money, who knew that his wife took advantage of his absence at home, swept away all the money, and took away the child by the way, the neighbor said that his wife was wearing a big red dress when she left, so far he was terrified, and when he saw the woman in the big red clothes, he wanted to kill him, and he had committed two murders in Douhe County before he became a monk, one was to kill his ex-wife, and the other was to kill his ex-wife's cousin。

Then Hui Ze fled to Xiping, and became a monk in Lianyun Temple, thinking that eating fast and reciting Buddha could eliminate the evil thoughts in his heart, who knew that every time he recalled the reason for becoming a monk, the hatred in his heart would increase by one point.

When he came back from his fate that day, when he walked to the market, he saw Lao Liu's wife Hu Shi wearing a red dress, and hatred instantly surged up in his heart, and then stabbed Hu Shi to death with a knife while he was closing the door, and threw Hu's body in the stable. Then he ran back to Lianyun Temple in a panic.

A few days later, Hui Ze came back from going out, saw Miss Zhang in red clothes, and immediately followed her and the maid at home, and when he reached the no-man's land, he knocked the maid unconscious with a stick, and then dragged the maid to another place and hid it, hurriedly returned to the original place, stabbed Miss Zhang, who was looking for the maid, to death, and hung the body on the door of Zhang's house.

Last night, Hui Ze stared at the pilgrim's daughter who came to the incense, pretending to lead the pilgrim's daughter to see the bamboo forest outside the temple, and brutally killed the pilgrim's daughter.

At this time, Chu Mofeng sighed and said, "Since you know that you have demons in your heart, why don't you tell your master Master Yuantong? Buddhism pays attention to self-cultivation and self-cultivation, it seems that no matter how many times you recite the scriptures, you will not be able to get rid of your demons, since this is the case." Chu Mofeng took out the Yaksha mask and put it on, and said to Hui Ze: "Since this is the case, then you have to be led into the Infernal Hell by the Flower of the Other Shore, I hope that the hell karmic fire can cleanse you of the evil thoughts in your heart." Would you like to?"

Hui Ze glanced at Chu Mofeng and said: "The poor monk knows that he is guilty, I hope that the donor will give me a good time, and ask the donor to give up after ending my life, don't embarrass the people of Lianyun Temple." ”

When Chu Mofeng heard this, he gave a salute to Hui Ze and said, "As you wish, I will not embarrass the masters of the precious treasure temple, you can go on the road with peace of mind." He then stabbed the Burning Sky in his palm into Hui Ze's throat until it passed through the back of his neck before pulling it out.

Master Yuantong and the monks not only folded their hands and began to chant the scriptures, blood gushed out along the wound on Hui Ze's neck, Chu Mofeng stepped forward and closed Hui Ze's eyes, and then dragged Hui Ze's body towards the gate of Lianyun Temple.

With the corpse, he led the second daughter to the mansion, and the county guard checked the corpse, and then said to Chu Mofeng: "Shaoxia, wait a while, I have sent someone to get the reward money, and I hope that Shaoxia will accept it with a smile." ”

Chu Mofeng turned around and walked out, and said as he walked: "Donate the money to Lianyun Temple as sesame oil money, tonight the masters of Lianyun Temple have a meritorious role in helping to catch thieves, donate all this money, I don't want it, master." ”

Hearing this, the county guard shouted at Chu Mofeng's back: "If there is another evil thing in Xiping in the future, where should I look for you?"

Chu Mofeng smiled and said, "If you shout at the other side of the flower in case of trouble, we can hear it." Then he led Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er to leave the mansion without looking back.

At this time, the street was deserted, Gu Zhen'er hugged her shoulders and shrunk her neck and said, "Brother Feng, where are we going now?"

"Go back to sleep, early tomorrow morning, pack your bags and go north to Wuyuan. ”
