Songfeng Ridge is located more than 20 miles away in the northwest of Guyang County, with a radius of only five or six miles, divided into front ridge, middle ridge and back ridge, sandwiched by two ravines. Although Lingzi is not big, it is far away from the official road, and the forest is dense, and it has always been inaccessible.

When Zhao Ran and the others arrived, it was already the second half of the night, and after entering the mountain range, they lit the torches, and under the guidance of the Zuo brothers, they soon came to the entrance of the ravine between the middle ridge and the back ridge.

The first thing I saw was a carriage, the horse had been dead for a long time, and the body of the coachman was resting on the wheel, and it was seen that the clothes were the daily clothes worn by the Daomen fireworkers.

In the open space next to a few bushes, six or five people were killed horizontally and vertically, four of them were the same as the short clothes and clothes of the Fang Tang Patrol, this is the martial arts uniform that the Daomen equipped with these martial arts practitioners in the Fang Tang, and there was an old Taoist priest lying in the middle, Zhao Ran held his breath and stepped forward to turn the body over, and saw that this old Tao was indeed as the Zuo brothers said, looking seventy or eighty years old, and looking at it twice, it seemed to be fifty or sixty.

At first glance, Zhao Ran and Zhao Zhixing were shocked, this old Taoist face was pale, and there were many wrinkles and folds. The body was soft and curled up in a ball, as if the whole person's spirit and spirit had been sucked out of the body, and lying here was just an empty shell.

Zhao Ran's heart was pounding, staring at Lao Dao's wrinkled and folded face in the firelight, his heart sank suddenly, and he only felt a burst of weakness. His mind was empty, and he sat beside the corpse in a daze, stunned.

After a long time, Zhao Zhixing on the side came back from his fright and said to Zhao Ran: "It seems to be the ...... of Zhang Prison."

Zhao Ran nodded subconsciously, his eyes looked directly at the corpse, and his mind was instantly messy.

Zhao Zhixing said: "I met him in December last year...... But why is Zhang Prison so old-looking?"

Zhao Ran nodded and shook his head again. It's been a long time. As if waking up from a dream, he got up and strode towards the Zuo brothers, grabbed the shirt of the Zuo brother, and shouted in a low voice: "What happened, you say it again, there must be no omission!" and roared at Guan Er: "Still stunned, hurry up and look for it, look carefully! Don't let go of any clues!"

Counted from the time of the incident. When Zhao Ran and the others arrived at the scene, three or four hours had passed. Guan Er and the others scattered to look for it, where was there still a trace of the "bald monk"? Zhao Ran was not reconciled, and rode around the surroundings on his donkey, but still found nothing, so he had no choice but to turn around temporarily and guard the scene of the assassination of Zhang Prison.

The Song Prison and Kong County Orders arrived at the dawn of the day. At the same time, there were also high-level officials of various provincial courts and county officials who heard the news. Seeing this scene in front of them, everyone was stunned, and many people still couldn't believe that such a thing could happen in broad daylight.

Along with the order of Kong County, there were also two old servants from the Guyang County Prison, two old errand officers with extremely negative experience after carefully examining the corpse of Zhang Prison. They shook their heads in unison, and then pleaded guilty to Kong County Ling and Song Prison, saying that the cause of Zhang's death should be caused by some kind of magic, so it was necessary for the monks of the pavilion to send someone to verify it.

The scene of the crime was covered by the Daomen and the government, the inner circle was guarded by the Wuji Academy, and the outside was surrounded by the third class of the county government. In addition to guarding, it also organized people to search for the traces of the case, and at the same time checked the passers-by around Songfeng Ridge.

In the event of such a horrific case, of course, the on-site meeting on the reform of the Seedlings Money prepared for the Charity Hall could not be carried out, and the meeting was postponed indefinitely, and the entire Daomen and government offices of the entire Long'an Province began to investigate the case with all their might.

After the inquiry, the Daomen immediately reacted, and the three monks sent by the Huayun Pavilion rushed to Songfeng Ridge in the afternoon of the next day, and when Zhao Ran saw the three people who came, two of them were acquaintances. The leader is Master Liang Tengxian, that is, the one who went to Wuji Academy to pick up Zhu Zhimeng at the end of the previous year, and naturally he came with two disciples of Master Liang, one is an old acquaintance Zhu Zhimeng, and the other is named Gan Zhilu.

It's been almost two years since I saw Zhu Zhimeng. Two years ago, Zhao Ran met Zhu Zhimeng for the first time in the Bijia Mountain Ya Collection, and Zhu Zhimeng was depressed at that time because his pursuit of Zhou Yumo was rejected again. After that, the two entered the Wuji Academy Sutra Hall in the same period, and during their one-year classmates' careers, they competed with each other in their studies, monthly exams and annual exams because of Zhou Yumo, and then broke off contact with Zhu Zhimeng's entry into the Huayun Pavilion to cultivate.

After all, they have lived under the same roof, and there is no grudge against each other, after meeting, both of them have the feeling of meeting old acquaintances, look at each other and smile, and start talking.

"Brothers and Sisters......"

"Senior Brother Zhao......"

Laughing again, Zhu Zhimeng said: "I heard that you have been promoted to the master of Fang? This is less than two years, you have been a Taoist boy in the hall and a quiet master, and then entered the deacon, Senior Brother Zhao is really amazing." Hmm, what did my junior brother say back then? 'Learning master', well, no matter how I look at it, how do I think Senior Brother Zhao is a 'promotion master'!"

"Senior brothers, don't laugh at me, we ordinary people, where can we be as immortal as your monks, no matter how fast you are promoted, you are just ordinary people...... By the way, how are the juniors and disciples doing?"

Zhu Zhimeng shook his head: "I haven't entered the level of Yushi yet. ”

"So, you've been ordained a Taoist priest?"

"Late spring this year. ”

"It's only been a year and a few months, and I've entered the right path of cultivation, and all the junior disciples are really very talented!

"When I first entered the Taoist, my realm has not yet been stabilized, and I don't dare to count on Yushi. Master said that if I didn't have a chance, I would have two years at the earliest. ”

Zhao Ran comforted: "It's already very fast, I heard Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi say that it took them more than two years to enter the Taoist realm, and it took three years to enter the Yushi realm from Taoist priesthood......

Zhu Zhimeng's eyes jumped: "Do you know Uncle Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo?"

Zhao Ran explained: "After you left, you met two Uncle Zhuo by chance, and did your part when they were catching demons. I am now in the position of the master of the square, and I am in charge of assassinating demons and evil spirits, so I have more intersections with the two of them. By the way, why did you come here to investigate the case this time? Shouldn't this kind of thing be a Taoist business?"

"The two uncles of the Zhuo family went to Song Fanwei to look for medicinal materials for the Huayun Pavilion, and this matter was not small, so the pavilion asked the master to go down the mountain. ”

"I see. ”

The two chatted for a while, and Master Liang had already finished greeting everyone one by one, and Zhu Zhimeng hurriedly greeted Zhao Ran and followed.

Master Liang walked into the scene of the crime with two disciples, Zhu Zhimeng and Gan Zhilu, and Zhao Ran followed the crowd to watch. I saw that Master Liang first carefully examined the corpse, and then ordered Zhu Zhimeng to make a talisman. The talisman fluttered in the air for a few weeks before exploding, scattering into ashes. Others can't see the doorway, but Zhao Ran can see it very clearly. An invisible wave of qi swept by, sweeping the entire scene, colliding with several corpses with fleeting white light. This white light is the essence of the mana of Buddhism, which is called "light" or "sexuality", just like the "Qi" absorbed in the cultivation of the Taoist sect.

This finally confirmed Zhao Ran's inference, and it was indeed done by Buddhist monks!

When Zhao Ran first saw the corpses of Zhang Jian Yuan and others, the reason why he lost his mind was because his appearance looked extremely familiar after his death, and the appearance of his spirit being consumed and his appearance aging instantly made Zhao Ran feel in a trance for a while.

Zhao Ran once fought with the Zhishen monk of Gao Richang Temple in the small temple outside Bayan Kala Mountain, when the Zhishen monk was eroded by the fear of the Buddha statue, his face was also the same as that of Zhang Jianyuan, but his magic power was profound, and he was forced to break away from it and avoid bad luck, and Zhang Jianyuan obviously did not have this ability, so he died.

Master Liang didn't follow up, just asked people to maintain the scene, so he took two disciples to choose a quiet place next to him, meditated and waited, it is said that he still has to wait for someone. So the people had to continue to wait patiently.

Zhu Zhimeng sat quietly beside Master Liang for an hour, then got up and walked towards Zhao Ran, who quipped: "Senior Brother Zhu is still the same, and he skipped class again." ”

Zhu Zhimeng smiled and said, "What is skipping class? Master has said that the first thing in cultivation is the focus of the heart, and when the excitement comes, an hour should be ten hours, and the heart is not enough, and ten hours is not lower than an hour. If you are not in the mood to practice today, of course you don't have to force yourself into meditation. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's not ...... Well, Senior Brother Zhao, I would like to ask you a question. ”

"Please. ”

"I don't know...... Have you still been in touch with Senior Sister Zhou? Has she ever written to you?"

"Didn't you always call her 'Wenxiu girl'?

Zhu Zhimeng scratched his forehead: "She doesn't allow it, she has to let me call him Senior Sister Zhou, otherwise she will ignore me in the future......"

Zhao Ran is helpless, this guy has been at the threshold of cultivation for two years, and he is still persistent, which is really admirable on the path of love. Now Zhao Ran has no idea of raising the bar with him, so he doesn't hide it, and directly tells Zhu Zhimeng that he and Zhou Yumo have not exchanged letters for two years.
