14 Dust hermitage

It is said that the martial arts of the Central Plains are broad and profound, and the rise and fall of one sect after another is only in a few decades, or only in a few years. Among them, due to natural and man-made disasters, wars and wars, and even the alternation between sects and sects, in the end, it is no longer the original lineage. On the same day on the shore of Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, Xie Yixiang once heard Qu Baoshu mention that the earliest "Emei School" was founded by Taoist priests in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was faintly the head of the Central Plains martial arts, but it was later destroyed in the war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Later, when Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth, the local officials demolished all the Taoist temples on Mount Emei and converted them into temples, so the Emei school in the following decades became a branch sect of Buddhism.

In the end, until the previous dynasty tyrannized the Central Plains, the Emei faction of Buddhism almost existed in name only, and then there was now the Emei Sword faction of the layman. And the word "sword" in it is to distinguish it from the Emei school of Buddhism before. At this moment, hearing the explanation of Monk Hai Niantan, Xie Yixiang finally understood that the "dust hermitage" on Mount Emei today is actually the Emei sect of Buddhism that almost exists in name only.

Sure enough, the official also nodded and said, "I didn't expect the master to remember the old things of Emei, and it was really a well-read and strong memory." Yes, the dust hermitage is the Emei faction of Buddhism back then, as early as the Southern Song Dynasty has declined, to the early years of the previous dynasty, my Emei sword sect ancestor Mr. Lin Han in the golden top technique to dominate the crowd, after the establishment of the Emei sword faction, those nuns in the nunnery did not go to the martial arts to walk around, it is a complete withdrawal from the rivers and lakes. In the past few decades, they and my Emei Sword Sect have been safe and sound. ”

Speaking of this, Guan Ruofu couldn't help but sigh and added: "Yes, if the current serial disappearance case on Mount Emei is indeed related to the dust hermitage, then it explains why this murderer can continue to commit crimes for a hundred years, because the murderer is not one person at all, but an entire sect." It's just that I don't know why the nuns in the nunnery want to murder lonely tourists from other places, and they also have to choose the birth date of 'four fires together'? Is it possible...... Could it be that he is actually practicing some kind of evil art?"

Hearing the explanations of Monk Hai Niantan and Guan Ruoluo, everyone present looked at each other and was a little caught off guard. It's just that the Emei Sword Sect that sacrificed itself on the cliff on the golden top is too famous, and the nuns in the dust nunnery have not walked on the rivers and lakes for a long time, so at the beginning, where did everyone think that there was still such a mysterious force on Mount Emei? From this point of view, behind the scenes of this series of missing tourists, there is actually a sect of the rivers and lakes involved, which makes the case more confusing and more difficult to handle. Let's ask the other party, since it was the famous Emei sect of Buddhism back then, even if he had already retired from the rivers and lakes for many years, his strength should not be underestimated. If the other party insists on refusing to cooperate with the investigation, even if Sister Yue invites the entire Jiazhou Mansion Yamen, I am afraid that it will be useless;

After coming to this conclusion, the official Ruo was already a little distraught, and even said goodbye to everyone, saying that he would go to the top of the gold to report the matter to the head of the house, Zhu Ruoyu. Everyone hurriedly dissuaded, saying that it was just speculation at the moment, and it would not be too late to report to Master Zhu when the real evidence was found. Guan Ruo shook his head vigorously and insisted on returning to Jinding, but everyone couldn't stop him, so he had to let him go.

After this deduction, the sky has already darkened. Everyone didn't come up with a way to investigate the dust hermitage for a while, so Sister Yue sent two arresters down the mountain overnight, returned to Jiazhou Mansion to invite the search warrant from Lord Yin, and arranged for Xie Yixiang, Xian Jingyue and Shang Buqi to spend the night in Qiliping. Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue ate something casually, and went to ask the monk Hai Niantan for advice, but they still couldn't guess what reason the nuns in the dust nunnery had to murder the tourists on the mountain, and they also had to specifically pick the eight characters of the birthday of the "four fires together".

Monk Hai Niantan also didn't know anything about this, and finally summed up some nonsense and said: "If this case is really done by the dust hermitage, according to the old man's opinion, most of it is still due to the word 'fame and fortune'; If the dust hermitage wants to re-enter the rivers and lakes and revive the prestige of the Emei sect of Buddhism in the past, then the first obstacle to face is the Emei sword sect that is now dominant. Therefore, as soon as the official benefactor heard the name of the dust hermitage, he insisted on going back to pay respects, which was also reasonable. ”

When there was nothing to do overnight, and the next morning, Sister Yue hurriedly knocked on the door, woke everyone up one by one, and kept saying: "Something's wrong! Something happened!" After everyone inquired, they learned that it was Sister Yue's subordinates who went out to buy breakfast, and heard the people of Qiliping Town say that a large group of people came down from the mountain in the early hours of this morning, about forty or fifty people, and it was the Emei Sword Sect on the top of the gold to see that the dress was the Emei Sword Sect on the top of the gold. And after a large group of people hurried to Qiliping, they went all the way down the mountain, and they didn't know what was going on, and they actually wanted to make the Emei Sword Sect so prosperous. When Sister Yue heard the news, she remembered that last night, when the official was defeated, she went to the golden top overnight, and suddenly came to her senses, presumably the Emei Sword Sect heard that the dust hermitage might be related to the disappearance of tourists on Mount Emei, and even practiced some evil arts, so she immediately decided to go out to deal with the dust hermitage.

If these two sects on Mount Emei have a dispute and cause any trouble, Sister Yue will naturally not be able to get rid of it; and what is the truth of the case of the disappearance of tourists, whether it is really related to the dust hermitage, no one is sure at the moment. Therefore, Sister Yue insisted on going to the Zhichen Nunnery to stop the fight, and everyone decided to go with her, hurriedly leaving Qiliping Town, and going in the direction of the Zhichen Nunnery in the mountains. This has been done for more than half an hour, but I see the mountain road not far away, a dense bamboo forest faintly reveals a pale yellow temple gate, take a closer look, the temple door is engraved with three official characters, it is "dust hermitage".

Xie Yixiang recalled that when he and his senior brother first climbed Mount Emei a few days ago, they passed by this temple. At that time, when I was thirsty, I saw that the yellow walls of the green bamboo were full of cultivators, and I almost had the idea of going in to ask for a bowl of tea, but because I was in a hurry to go to the golden top to return the Dinghai Sword and the secret book of the Shushan faction entrusted by Dai Qi, I dispelled this idea. In this way, just talking about the geographical location of this dust hermitage, visitors to Mount Emei come here, and the possibility of entering the nunnery to rest is very great.

However, at this time, there was not a single nun at the gate of the Zhichen Temple, but instead there were five or six disciples of the Emei Sword Sect guarding with swords, all of them were fierce and vicious, and no passing tourists were allowed to enter the nunnery. Seeing such a situation, Sister Yue's previous guess was obviously true, and sure enough, the Emei Sword Sect came to deal with the dust hermitage on its own after hearing the official defeat's return, and actually left Sister Yue, who represented the official government, aside.

At that moment, Sister Yue didn't dare to delay, and was about to break into the nunnery, but was stopped by the Emei Sword Sect disciple who was guarding the door, and refused to let everyone in. When the eldest sister Yue revealed the identity of the head catcher of the Yamen of Jiazhou Mansion, the disciples still refused to be accommodating, only saying that today it was the head of the Emei Sword Sect who came to visit the dust hermitage in person, and there should be no idle people to disturb her, and a young disciple teased with a hippie smile: "I said that this eldest sister, looking at your age, you should have a husband and children at home, how can you learn from us men to show your face? Hehe, I can't imagine that there is no man in a huge Jiazhou Mansion? It is really ridiculous to let a woman work as an errand in the Yamen!"

Sister Yue had already been used to being questioned, and she didn't take it to heart when she heard this, but Xie Yixiang behind her couldn't hold it back. It turned out that Xie Yixiang didn't plan to come out, firstly, because of Dai Qi's relationship, he also had some relationship with the Emei Sword Sect; secondly, this case was in charge of the Jiazhou Mansion Yamen, and he was just assisting from the side, so naturally he was a strong dragon and did not suppress the head snake. Now that the disciple said this, it can be said that the speaker had no intention and the listener had a heart, Xie Yixiang was annoyed in his heart, and immediately stepped forward to help Sister Yue break in.

Who knew that she had just raised her feet, and the first Jingyue beside her knew her junior sister again, but she had already stepped forward first, took out a swarthy token from her arms, and said in a deep voice: "The pro-army Governor's Mansion is in charge, and I am ordered by the emperor to secretly visit the Zhichen Nunnery." Dead to those who block. ”

You must know that although Xie Yixiang is the head of the Jinling Torture Arrest Room, he actually has no privileges, if he does not have the official documents of the Torture Arrest Room, he cannot break into other people's territory at will to search, but the Pro-Army Governor's Mansion is a private organization directly under the emperor, and in the name of the emperor, he can investigate all personnel between the government and the opposition at any time. Now the first to compete for the moon to issue a token, to find out the identity of the pro-army governor's office, although the world is big, it can be unimpeded, and no one dares to stop it.

Seeing that her senior brother came forward, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but glare at him, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Unexpectedly, the disciples of the Emei Sword Sect at the gate of the temple still didn't buy it, and actually asked: "Pro-army...... What kind of house is pro-army, what kind of thing, I haven't heard of it!" Another disciple sneered and said, "What bullshit emperor's order, you really dare to brag." Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the emperor Lao'er comes to Shu in person, as long as he goes up to this Emei Mountain, he must also follow the rules of my Emei Sword Sect!"

In this way, Xian Jingyue was a little at a loss. He has traveled south and north for many years, as long as the people of the world hear the name of the pro-army governor's mansion, they are all panicked, like hiding from the plague god; Who knew that these disciples of the Emei Sword Sect in front of him didn't know if it was because they were really lonely and unheard, or because they were a little arrogant, they even dared to collide with the pro-army Governor's Mansion, and Shang Buqi, who was not far away, immediately sneered: "The king of the mountain in the poor countryside, where do you know any emperor? ”

Hearing this, Xian Jingyue sighed secretly, and then hugged his fist slightly to the Emei Sword Sect disciple at the gate of the temple, and said, "Offended." ”
