Zhikong looked at the two corpses on the ground silently, his face slowly showed sadness, and tears appeared faintly in his eyes.

The monks who came with Zhikong are old and young, at this time, everyone is sad at the same time, they are very angry, their Hanguang Temple is also a first-class force in the local area, and no one has dared to touch their people for many years, but they never thought that just a time out, they lost one old and one young two masters and several young disciples, this result is unexpected at the same time, it is also extremely angry.

Zhikong sighed sadly, then carefully inspected the corpse on the ground, and after he finished it, he said with a serious face: "Senior Brother Zhizang, they were besieged to death, they have only died recently, and the murderer has just left, you take the corpse back to the temple first, I will personally investigate it to see who ate the bear's heart leopard gall and dared to do this to the people of our Hanguang Temple." ”

A young monk suddenly said: "Master, there is no need to track it down at all, the murderer is obviously obvious, Uncle Zhizang and they were ambushed after they went to Liuye Villa, and the murderer is the Yang Lin nine times out of ten, we will kill it directly." ”

Zhikong said in a deep voice: "Don't make a judgment, this matter is very important, there is no room for a little sloppiness, whether it is the hand of Willow Leaf Villa, we must carefully investigate to know, if it is really the hand of Willow Leaf Villa, we will not give up at that time, and we will definitely avenge your Uncle Zhizang." ”

When the young monk who spoke before heard this, his mouth opened, trying to say something, but as soon as he met Zhikong's sharp eyes, he couldn't say a word, and finally could only slowly lower his head and stand aside obediently.

Zhikong stopped and said in a low voice: "You guys go first, tell the abbot about the matter here, and I will go back soon." ”

Be!

A dry monk agreed, and then carefully picked up the corpses of Zhizang and the Void Spirit, and walked towards the way they came.

Seeing the same door gradually disappear, Zhikong did not stay at the moment, and quickly tracked it up according to the traces left along the way.

Walking and stopping all the way, the speed of Zhikong's action was not fast, and it took two full hours to reach the destination, but at this time, Zhikong's appearance was extremely dignified, because a huge mountain villa appeared in front of him, which was the largest force in the local area, Liuye Mountain Villa.

Zhikong was traced here according to the clues along the way, and the last clue was gone in Willow Leaf Villa, so it seems that Zhizang and the others have more than eighty percent chance of being killed by the people of Willow Leaf Villa.

Seriously, this result is the last thing Zhikong wants to see, because Willow Leaf Villa is too difficult, it was okay before, at least there is a Dugu family to contain Willow Leaf Villa, but since the change of owner, Willow Leaf Villa immediately used thunder means to destroy the Dugu family, in recent days, it has been recruiting troops and buying horses, and its strength is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, if Hanguang Temple really fights with Willow Leaf Villa, the chance of winning is less than forty percent.

Zhikong looked at the Willow Leaf Villa in front of him steadily, he hid in a remote corner of Zi'a, trying not to reveal his identity, Willow Leaf Villa seems to be quiet and peaceful, as if harmless to humans and animals, but Zhikong knows that it is the Longtan Tiger's Den inside, if he breaks in, it is difficult to say whether he has a life to come out, since he has found out who the real murderer is, Zhikong does not plan to continue to stay, he is ready to leave here, go back to Hanguang Temple first.

Just when Zhikong was about to leave, an unexpected scene happened, the gate of Willow Leaf Villa was opened with a 'squeak', and then two men rode out, and when they got outside, the two men immediately turned over and rode towards the official road.

Seeing this scene, Zhikong's expression suddenly moved, and after thinking about it, he chose to follow.

Although the old monk Zhikong is old, but his light skills are superb, following behind the two galloping fast horses, not only was not thrown and dragged, but also approached step by step, when the fast horse completely away from the willow leaf villa, the old monk Zhikong made a decisive move, his body suddenly accelerated, after a few rapid rushes, he came to the back of a horse, and then the unique stunt of the Hanguang Temple 'Yang Chan fingering' was displayed, directly shot the man's back, knocking him to the ground.

This sudden attack shocked the other man, who rode very well, and lay down on the horse's back, and at the same time drew his machete and slashed at the horse's buttocks, and suddenly the horse let out a long cry of pain, and then galloped wildly.

Zhikong snorted coldly, not in a hurry, he took a deep breath, then clenched his five fingers, and blasted out with a punch in the air, and saw a golden fist print blasting at a very fast speed to the man in front of him, directly blasting him to vomit blood and fly upside down, and when he landed, the man had no breath, and he couldn't die anymore.

Anitabha Buddha ......

Zhikong pretended to sing a Buddha name, and then came to another man who was seriously injured and fell to the ground expressionlessly, looked at him coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "Lao Qu has something to ask you, if you answer honestly, I can consider letting you go." ”

The man who was seriously injured and fell to the ground had actually only taken refuge in Willow Leaf Villa for a few days, and he didn't have much loyalty to Willow Leaf Villa at all, so after listening to Zhikong's words, he nodded without hesitation: "Master, just ask, the villain must know everything and say everything." ”

Zhikong nodded and said, "Let me ask you, have you made any big moves in Willow Leaf Villa today?"

This man was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, just a few hours ago, our owner Yang Lin personally led two generals and more than a hundred disciples to hurriedly open the villa, and when they returned, they were all full of blood and captured a monk. ”

Hearing this, Zhikong hurriedly asked, "Do you know what the monk's name is?" ”

The man replied: "I do know this, but I overheard someone say that the monk seems to be called Xuyun, from Hanguang Temple. ”

Zhikong's eyes were shining, and his face was murderous, now it is completely certain that it was indeed Willow Leaf Villa who killed Zhizang and the others, and it was also the hand of the owner Yang Lin himself, a little surprisingly, Xuyun was not dead, he was captured by Willow Leaf Villa, and I don't know what Yang Lin's intention was in doing this?

The man glanced at Zhikong, who bowed his head and pondered, and then said cautiously: "Master, I have already answered your question, I wonder if you can let me go." ”

Zhikong suddenly came back to his senses, his gaze fell on the man's body, and then Zhikong took a step forward, waved his palm and wanted the man's heavenly spirit cover to slap it.

This scene made the man frightened, Zhikong looked kind, looking like a good man, but he didn't expect to be so vicious, he had already answered the other party's questions, but the old monk still refused to let go of himself, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have answered the other party's questions.

But now it's too late to regret it, Zhikong's dry palm directly hit the man's Tianling Gai, and the next moment, the man's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground unwillingly.

Zhikong snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "The evil sect is crooked, everyone will be punished, how can the old man let you go and continue to do evil." ”

I have to say that these monks who seem to be righteous and awe-inspiring, sometimes they are ruthless, they are really more ruthless than most wicked people, these bastards just kill people, but they always like to find a righteous and awe-inspiring excuse for themselves, others kill people to do a lot of evil, and they kill people to do the right thing for heaven, which is completely unreasonable.

In this regard, many people in the rivers and lakes secretly despise it, feeling that these monks are extremely hypocritical, not only do not do anything to produce, but have been sucking the hard-earned money of ordinary people, and in the end they also put on a natural appearance, such a shameless act is simply disgusting.

Zhikong didn't look at the corpse on the ground, after he killed someone, he rode a horse, and then quickly rushed to the direction where the Hanguang Temple was located, he had to tell the abbot the news he had found, as for what to do next, he had to discuss it carefully.

And Yang Lin didn't know what he had done, and he had been completely found out by Zhikong, but even if Yang Lin knew, he wouldn't be too surprised, after all, it was only a matter of time before the incident happened, after all, Hanguang Temple was not a vegetarian, both sides were local forces, if they really pursued it at any cost, they would naturally have a harvest soon.

At this time, Yang Lin was in the cell of Liuye Villa, the cell was not big, but it was very dark and damp, and there was a cross-shaped iron frame not far away, on which a person was tied, and this person was the Xuyun monk who was captured.

Yang Lin sat on a chair, and Niu Hong waited respectfully on the side, waiting for Yang Lin's orders at any time.

An old man in his sixties was doing everything he could, constantly using torture on Xuyun, and with the old man's movements, Xuyun let out a terrible scream, he was covered with scars, and almost turned into a bloody man, and this punishment had lasted for half an hour.

Yang Lin took a sip of tea, and then said lightly: "Stop for a while." ”

Yes, Childe.

The tortured old man respectfully agreed, and then obediently stepped aside.

Yang Lin's eyes fell on Xuyun's body, and then he said: "Xuyun, have you thought clearly, are you willing to answer my question, as long as you answer honestly, then you don't have to bear this kind of torture anymore, and you can be liberated immediately and return to the arms of the Buddha and his old family." ”

Xuyun snorted, spit out a mouthful of blood, he looked at Yang Lin with great resentment, and scolded: "Yang Lin, you can't die well, if you kill me, you want to get information from my mouth, don't you think." ”

Yang Lin sighed and said: "Why do you bother, obediently tell me all the news about the Golden Bell Jar, won't everything be fine, but you are so brainless, you must go against me, this kind of behavior is self-inflicted." ”

Xuyun said coldly: "Yang Lin, treat me like this today, others and our Hanguang Temple will definitely return it a hundred times, and you will definitely die a hundred times more miserable than me." ”

Niu Hong said angrily: "What a thing that doesn't know how to lift, it's all dying, and you dare to insult our son, I think you are really impatient." ”

Yang Lin also frowned slightly, his face was unhappy, he had spent a lot of time here, but he had not gotten the news he wanted, for this result, Yang Lin was naturally very dissatisfied, at this time his patience had been exhausted, no longer talking nonsense at the moment, and directly instructed the old man who was tortured: "Increase the intensity of torture, this time it doesn't matter if you live or die, keep torturing him until he is willing to speak." ”

The old man immediately nodded in agreement, then stepped forward and continued to torture.

The next moment, the terrible screams sounded again, this time the old man was ruthless, he did not spare any strength, only put the void cloud to death, the screams continued, and after a quarter of an hour, the cell was quiet again.

Looking at Xuyun's appearance again, he is no longer good, he has lost all the sound on his body, and he is obviously dead.

The old man reported: "Childe, he has lost his breath. ”

Hearing this answer, Yang Lin couldn't help but be a little disappointed, Xuyun was tougher than he imagined, endured a lot of torture, and finally never compromised, so that Yang Lin's bamboo basket was empty, and no useful news came out.

Standing up with an unhappy face, Yang Lin left the cell directly, the environment in the cell was very bad, if it was not necessary, Yang Lin would not stay here for long, now that the matter is over, Yang Lin will naturally leave immediately.

Seeing Yang Lin leave slowly, the old man was disappointed at this time, he missed an opportunity to perform in front of the master, if he could successfully pry open Xuyun's mouth, then Yang Lin would definitely be rewarded afterwards, but he did the errand smashed, not only did he not catch any benefits, but also left an impression of incompetence in front of Yang Lin, which was very unfavorable to the old man's future development.

The old man's son was not far away, and when he saw his father looking depressed, he immediately walked up and comforted: Dad, look at it, you have done your best, presumably he will not blame you.

The old man sighed and said: "What a good opportunity, but I missed it in vain, if you can successfully get the appreciation of the son this time, then your future road will be easier, at least you don't have to be a drudgery in the cell, and it is good to be transferred outside to be an ordinary disciple." ”

When the old man's son heard this, he couldn't help but show a disappointed look on his face, but it quickly disappeared, and he forced a smile: "Dad, you don't have to worry about me, you have been in the cell here for nearly ten years, in fact, I am also used to life here." ”

The old man naturally saw the disappointed look on his son's face, and he began to sigh at the moment, and he was speechless for a long time.

Yang Lin on the other side had already returned to the study at this time, and his face was a little gloomy now, which made the people below cautious and did not dare to touch the mold.

Niu Hong lowered his head and stood aside, and he didn't dare to take a breath in the air, so after the time of a cup of tea had passed, Yang Lin's depressed mood was a little better.

Looking up and glancing at Niu Hong, Yang Lin opened his mouth and asked, "Niu Hong, you have been in charge of recruiting people for the past few days, now tell me how things are going." ”

Hearing this, Niu Hong immediately replied: "Childe, things are going very well, now the name of our Willow Leaf Villa is even louder than before, more and more people come here every day, after many selections, we have now recruited more than 200 people." ”

Hearing this answer, Yang Lin immediately showed a satisfied smile, and then asked, "Among so many people, what are the good seedlings?"

Niu Hong nodded and said, "Yes, I have written down all the outstanding people, please take a look." ”

As he spoke, Niu Hong took out a blank piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yang Lin with both hands.

Yang Lin stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and looked at it carefully, there were some names recorded on the paper, from the most basic name to various advantages and disadvantages, there were clear records, which showed that Niu Hong still spent a lot of thought.

After reading it, Yang Lin said with a smile: "Niu Hong, you have done a good job in this matter, I am very satisfied, I will continue to work hard in the future, don't slacken." ”

Receiving Yang Lin's praise, Niu Hong was immediately overjoyed, and he hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely work harder in the future, and I will never let you down." ”

Yang Lin nodded when he heard this, and then encouraged Niu Hong a few words, and then sent him away.

After Niu Hong left, Yang Lin began to deal with things, now Yang Lin is the master of a force, there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with by him personally, and this is also an inevitable thing, some rights Yang Lin can be delegated, but some rights must be firmly grasped in his hands, otherwise it is easy to be overtaken by the people below.

Let's not talk about Yang Lin, who is working hard to deal with affairs, let's just say that the old monk Zhikong, who is dozens of miles away, is constantly galloping on his horse, and he has been running fast all the way for more than half an hour before Zhikong returns to Miro Mountain, and then Zhikong turns over and dismounts and strides up the mountain.

Hanguang Temple is located halfway up the mountain mountain, walking all the way on the mountain road, the people I met all showed sad faces, obviously the news that Zhizang and others had died, has spread.

In this regard, Zhikong was not surprised, he kept walking, returned directly to the Hanguang Temple, and then went to the room where the abbot Zhishan was, and knocked on the door gently.

Come on in!

A deep voice came from the room, and when Zhikong heard this, he pushed open the door and walked in.

Zhishan sat cross-legged on the old futon, and his originally closed eyes slowly opened and looked at Zhikong's body.

Zhikong bowed and saluted, "I've seen Senior Brother Abbot." ”

Zhishan said softly: "Senior brother, you don't need to be polite, sit down and talk." ”

Zhikong thanked him, then walked to a futon next to Zhishan and sat down, then his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, I have completely investigated the matter, the murderer of Zhizang's junior brother and their murderer is indeed from Willow Leaf Villa, and it is also Yang Lin's own hand. ”

Hearing this answer, Zhishan's originally unwavering face was immediately moved, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "The stakes are very high, and there can be no fault in this matter." ”

Zhikong said solemnly: There is absolutely no mistake, it is indeed Yang Lin who led people to kill Zhizang's junior brothers.

Zhishan fell silent, his withered yellow face completely turned cold, and after a while, Zhishan spoke: "Let everyone in the temple prepare, we will inevitably fight with Willow Leaf Villa." ”

Zhikong frowned and said: "Senior brother, although I know that it is very wrong to say this, I still want to say, is it possible to avoid this battle, after all, the strength of Willow Leaf Villa is not trivial, once a war with the other party, the disciples in the temple will definitely suffer heavy losses." ”

Zhishan shook his head and said: "Senior brother, don't you understand, Yang Lin is a wolf with ambitions, and there was no grievance between us before, but Yang Lin led people to ambush and kill Zhizang's junior brothers, which shows that Yang Lin has long had the intention of annexing us, and this battle cannot be avoided." ”
