067. Dark Noodles

Wu Jintai was muttering to himself, but he heard someone fighting behind him and asked, "How did you find the front of this abbot's room?"

Wu Jintai pursed his lips, swept his eyes back, and sighed: "I don't know how I have to walk for half a day, but I haven't met a monk." Wandering around the ground, I found this place before I knew it. Without saying a word, Wu Jintai put the incense candle in front of him, lowered his eyebrows and blamed himself: "It really shouldn't be so reckless, I bumped into the Buddha and this young lady." ”

When he heard the battle, he hugged his arms and hummed softly, probed his jaw and looked at Song Yougu, and secretly said in his heart: As soon as the abbot goes, the monks of the temple are all coming to this inner courtyard, and they can't be seen from the side. This man is telling the truth.

Xu Liuliu moistened his lips, listening to the faint chanting sound in the abbot's room, and he was sure in his heart, but he was calculating: The abbot passed away, and it happened that this Wu Jintai appeared at this time. Its connection with Jintai Temple, when it is only the grace of the drop in three years ago, among them, is there any trick that we have not yet figured out?

"Brother Wu, it's really a coincidence that you're here. Song Yougu paced two steps towards Wu Jintai, frowned, and said lightly: "The old abbot of Jintai Temple has passed away. Coincidentally, it's just now. ”

When Wu Jintai heard this, his face changed greatly, and he stood on the spot, his lips trembled slightly, but he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Song Yougu slowly took half a step back, folded the fan, and patted Wu Jintai on the shoulder, "Brother Wu, I'm curious, how can I get it...... Your surname is exactly the same as this Jintai Temple, but it's a different phone?"

Wu Jin's table was like a cold winter, and he bowed his hand slightly, and said sadly: "The name of the next is changed because of this Jintai Temple." After that, he raised his hand and pointed to the abbot's room, and asked in a loud voice: "Is the abbot still peaceful?"

Smiling and sitting. ”

Wu Jintai heard this, his brows stretched slightly, and he shook his eyebrows slowly, ignoring Song Yougu Xu and others on his side, his knee bones bent, and he already knelt on the ground, "Back then, if it weren't for the abbot's grace, it would have been difficult to save my mother's life so far." Next...... Around, only the widowed mother, with her permission, will change the name to 'Jintai', in order to wake up that the abbot's grace will never be forgotten...... Clinker, great kindness is difficult to repay, the abbot passed away...... "his words are not finished, but he choked with tears, put the incense candle to his side, and put his palms on the ground, and he couldn't help but knock his head.

Seeing this, Xu Liuliu was suspicious, but he couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and stopped Wu Jintai's movements, and with a little dexterity on his wrist, he pulled it up.

"Brother Wu, don't be like this. Song Yougu secretly waved his hand at Xu Liuliu, and then he also stepped forward, put one palm on Wu Jintai's shoulder, and slowly slapped it twice, "For the laity, death is a murderous thing, and if you can avoid it, you can avoid it, and if you can drag it, you can drag it out; At this moment, it is not appropriate to cry, but to laugh. ”

Before the words fell, Song Yougu secretly flew to Xu Liu's place to fly, and said: "I said Brother Wu, there is only a little novice, and I mentioned an old Buddhist scripture held by the abbot, it is said that it is not written in the Middle Earth script, and the age is also very old, even if it is an ancient scroll classic, it is not known. I didn't have time to get a glimpse of it, so the abbot passed away......"

Song Yougu shook his eyebrows and sighed bitterly, "It's unfortunate, it's really unfortunate." I'm afraid that there is no Buddha ......"

Wu Jintai wiped the corners of his eyes to clear his tears, and rubbed his forehead twice with his backpalm, and after the dust particles mixed with some thin blood on it were swept away, his eyes rolled before he responded: "Brother Song, did the little novice mention that the abbot once gave a page of the ancient scroll to someone who was destined?"

"This ...... It is not stated. Song Yougu raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, and looked at Wu Jintai fixedly, his eyes were really clear and transparent. "Although I have the protection of the sect master, there are always some times when I can't help myself and have bloody storms before. In order to reduce some sins, when I eat a lot of fasting, I believe in piety. I wanted to find the ancient scriptures, open my eyes, and ask for an epiphany, but I didn't expect ......"

Wu Jintai didn't wait for Song Yougu to speak, he snorted lightly, without hesitation, reached into his arms, groped for a while, and found something - this thing, the package was tight. The outer layer is an oily paper, the inner layer is a trace of handkerchief, and the inner three layers and the outer three layers are overlapped, which hides the thing tightly and impermeable, which shows that it is cherished.

After untying the shackles one by one, Song Yougu's eyes lit up, and he smiled lightly, but in his heart, he had doubts again.

In Wu Jintai's palm, there is the ancient book, the paper is black and yellow, and the paper is old and yellow, as thin as a cicada's wings, and crisp as a crisp. Because there is only one page, it is not easy to hold for a long time, and when you look at it, it is much more broken than the entire ancient scroll hidden by the abbot, and it seems that it will be broken into powder and raised into the end by the wind.

Wu Jin was especially respectful on the table, hunched his back, and carefully handed the page to Song Yougu.

"Brother Song, take a look. ”

Song Yougu's eyes turned sharply twice, and he said in his mouth: "How can I get it...... What ......a coincidence?

Wu Jintai raised his palm slightly, stopped Song Yougu from speaking, chuckled, made a gesture of invitation, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Song, although you and I are not monks, but in this solemn and solemn place, we have also removed the cover and cover of the laymen, and we have tacitly agreed not to make false statements; besides, you and I are both disciples of the sect, so why bother to see the outside world like this?" After a pause, Wu Jintai laughed again and said softly, word by word: "Your fourth question is not supposed to be asked. ”

Song Yougu heard the meaning of Wu Jintai's words, and couldn't help but complain that he was proud for a while, and he was open-mouthed, which made people catch the handle; on the other hand, he secretly sighed that this Wu Jintai was thoughtful, and he was afraid that he was a powerful character who was difficult to deal with. After thinking for a moment, Song Yougu ate and laughed dryly, and immediately took the scripture page, and said without boundaries: "Brother Wu has such a straightforward personality, but he follows the deed very much. That being the case, I no longer have any need to hide it, but I have shown my life. But I ask Brother Wu to continue to be with us, so that he can teach the deceased to look at him and smile with him. ”

Wu Jin was cold on the table, looked sideways at Xu Liuliu and Wenren, his eyelids tightened, and he raised his eyes and said coldly to Song Yougu: "How can I get it?

"I never thought that the senior brother who went to Jinwei to secretly submit this case in detail would even talk about the origin of Jintai Temple in the next place. Isn't it that in addition to the senior brother and the second senior brother, even my little junior brother has become one of the suspects in colluding with the pagan sect to harm the master?" Wu Jintai sneered, hugged his arms and said slowly: "The title of the head of Qinshan is nothing more than something for me. I never thought that there would be people who mourned openly and secretly spitted ......"

Wu Jintai paused, looked at Song Yougu closely, and said slowly: "If all the senior brothers of the Qinshan faction except him have a part in murdering the master, then it would be good." He also saved the lamp and boiled wax, and he was worried about the position of the head of the house!"

When the three people in the courtyard heard the sound, they were all shocked.

Xu Liuliu's eyebrows were raised, one side of his cheeks was not looking at Wu Jintai, he pointed at Song Yougu, and said lightly: "Since you can see the flaws in this adult's words, I don't hide much." Who are you referring to?"

"Whoever has an open mouth is whoever he is. Since he can send a message to Jinwei's secret pile, is it possible that you still don't know his origin, name, and surname?"

Xu Liuliu secretly swallowed his mouth and spit, pursed his cheeks slightly, and said again in a cold voice: "At this time, it doesn't mean much to say more." Let me ask you, back then, when I spared you and whispered, the old abbot refused to admit you into the temple and did not allow you to shave and become a monk, yes or no?"

"It is true. Wu Jintai snorted lightly, took a deep breath, and answered slowly, "On that day, the abbot relied on a few mouthfuls of dry food and a few bowls of thin porridge to live my life, and recited sutras for me and my mother to relieve misfortune, but I sought to reduce my karma and eliminate hunger. That scripture sounds like it's about the muscles and skin, and the bones are cut into the marrow. Wu Jintai said, while clasping his palms in the abbot's room, reciting a sentence of "Amitabha Buddha" in a deep voice, pursing his lips slightly, shaking his eyebrows and smiling bitterly, "At that time, I only thought about my own hard work, but only for two spoonfuls of soup porridge, and in an instant, I had the idea of escaping into the empty door to practice and escape the world." However, the old abbot said that it was difficult for me to break away from the world, so he said that I should not enter the empty door at that moment and return to the Tao. I begged for nothing but to no avail, and I had no choice but to go away. How, who is in the way of this relationship, and what is going to be bad?"

"According to your fate with this temple, how did you enter Qinshan from you, but I didn't see you walking around all the time, coming to Jintai Temple to worship the Buddha and worship the Buddha and worship Mituo?" Xu Liuliu snorted lightly and continued: "You know that the novice in the temple mentions the old incident three years ago, and you should also know that he does not know that you left the Buddhist temple and entered Qinshan. As soon as the words fell, Xu Liuliu raised his palm and pointed to the inner room, and said lightly: "Those monks are all here." It's okay to confront them face to face. ”

Wu Jintai heard this, but he ate and chuckled, and after a long time, Fang Chongxu Liuliu hugged his fists and responded: "This young lady, in the past three years, I have never set foot in Jintai Temple. Just because of the abbot's sentence 'the time is not right', I thought about it three times, but I really didn't know when the day was the right day and when it was the right time, so I naturally didn't dare to come again. Besides, when you enter the Qin Mountain, sprinkle and sweep the deacon, and when you have a little leisure, you have to go to the foot of the mountain to take care of the widowed mother, and you have no skills, so how can you come here once as cheap as the young lady thinks?"

"I don't know if I have no intention of offending Miss, how can I always feel that your willow eyebrows are upside down, the corners of your mouth are down, and you are a powerful offender, and every word is like interrogating you as a prisoner?"

"I haven't come for three years, but at the beginning of today, you entered the Daxiong Hall with your front foot, and the abbot ascended to the Pure Buddha Kingdom with the back foot......"

Song Yougu frowned, shouted at Xu Liuliu, and stopped talking, and then arched his hand to Wu Jintai, and said softly: "Brother Wu is really worried. You and I are dignified and bearded, and we don't have the same knowledge as her girl's family. She is like this, her temperament is stinky and hard, and she grins and interrogates everyone like a suspect. Don't talk about you, if you lead a dog to appear together at this time, I'm afraid that it will have to bark for a long time, and in a day, I will keep the dog's birthday, a litter of brothers, and a few tufts of hair on the body to ask you clearly!"

Xu Liuliu listened, brushed his sleeves to the side, and secretly scolded Song Yougu dozens of times in his heart, raised his eyebrows to see where he was, but he immediately litigated, blaming himself for losing his sense of proportion in front of the Buddha, and had to hurriedly close his eyes, calm down and concentrate on reciting the Buddha's name a hundred times.

Wu Jintai was also informal, raised his palm and waved his hand at Song Yougu, put two steps on his feet, and said with a smile: "If you understand his words, know his heart, follow the good path, and ask the truth, it is the ability! I hope that you will only hope that you will not want to add to his guilt and torture him to extract a confession." If that's the case, I'm afraid that all sins will be gathered, and if I fall into the animal path in my last life, I will also have to be repaid by a reincarnation; what I did in the previous life will be suffered in this life, and I will not be able to escape from the cycle of heavenly principles!" I didn't say anything at first sight, but I wanted to go to the abbot with you, ask before and after together, and hope that the abbot master will give me a causal point, and also save some effort to ask me three times and answer twice. However, it now seems that this request is hopeless. ”

"Oh?" Song Yougu raised his eyebrows, and immediately responded: "But it has something to do with the case of the Venerable Master?"

Wu Jintai's eyes darkened, and he slowly bowed his head.

"Thinking that Jin Wei has already been rewarded, on the morning of the second day after Master's death, we and others knew that the heretical religion was attacking. After that, by mistake, the senior brother was pointed out by thousands of people and fled without a trace. In the next time, they were burned within five days, one injured the teacher and passed away, and the other worried about the safety of the mother. In desperation, he first went to the foot of the mountain to look at it alone and ask for peace of mind. Unexpectedly, it was so coincidental that when he was getting down, he was bumping into two pagan people hiding in the stone house, wanting to disadvantage his mother. ”

Song Yougu's ears trembled, the smile on his face also trembled, and he muttered in his mouth: "Exactly, the sect master has already conveyed this matter to us." However, the details of the day, only Brother Wu saw it alone, and Brother Wu still needs to tell the story, no matter how detailed, don't miss it. ”

Wu Jintai looked at Song Yougu for a while, his eyes rolled, and he bowed and said, "It should be like this." The words did not fall, but he reached out to the page in Song Yougu's palm, covered his mouth and whispered, "Where the mother's stone house is located, it is necessary to go up and down the mountain." I think the two of them left the aftermath alone, so they didn't go with the rest of the party. When he went down, he still carried the master's severed head in his hand. I am deeply afraid that he will harm my mother with demon law, and I am in a hurry and fight for my life. Fortunately, the heavens have eyes, and evil does not suppress the good, and the time and place are favorable, and finally took the lives of those two people......"

The corners of Song Yougu's lips were raised first, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he glanced sideways at Wu Jintai, and his eyes were strange and indescribable.

"Brother Song, what's wrong?"

Song Yougu was stunned when he heard this, and said with a perfunctory smile: "Nothing, nothing, but pondering what that pagan religion means." Brother Wu, you answer, don't pay attention to it. ”

Wu Jintai chuckled, his fingertips wandered around the page of the scriptures for a while, and finally settled in one place, tapped it twice, and said in a deep voice: "The faces of those two people are all carved blue, which is no different from the legends of the rivers and lakes;

Song Yougu's nose was concave with a little sweat, and he sighed twice in his mouth, secretly swallowing his saliva. The Buddhist scriptures in his palm, the words submerged into the black-faced sects, fierce and vicious, teeth and teeth dancing, as if they were about to swallow Song Yougusheng into their stomachs in an instant.

Song Yougu sighed, hurriedly returned the page of the scripture to Wu Jintai, opened and closed his lips, and after half a moment, he had to say, "Brother Wu, I'll go to Qinshan with you when I wait for this, how about it?"

At night of the same day, at the time of the second watch.

Song Yougu Xu stayed and sat around the table with the Wenren battle group, whispering.

"On the way up the mountain, I secretly visited the Xiangjin Wei who was waiting outside the temple at that time, and no one noticed that Wu Jintai had entered the temple. Xu Liuliu snorted lightly, raised his eyebrows and sneered: "That person, deep thoughts! I'm afraid that he is worried that you and I found out about the ancient scroll through Jintai Temple, and this party secretly went to the temple to kill and took the abbot's life." ”

When he heard this, he blinked his eyebrows twice, and said softly: "Sister Xu, I see that although that person's appearance is annoying, his words are sincere, and he does not show a very treacherous shape. He looks like that, and he wanders among the believers who go to worship the Buddha, I am afraid that he will not be eye-catching, and he will definitely not be able to attract the attention of Jin Wei. ”

Xu Liuliu shook his eyebrows and said with a long sigh: "You are still young, although you have traveled the rivers and lakes, you don't know many people after all. As he spoke, he reached out to Wen Renzhan's ear, brushed a few broken hairs, and continued softly: "In this world, there are void and snakes, honey and belly swords, upside down black and white, and human faces and beast hearts. As the saying goes, the person who hides the knife in the smile is gone, and he will take revenge and self-pity. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Liuliu glanced at Song Yougu blankly, and said again: "I expected that Wu Jintai assassinated the abbot for two reasons - one is that he doesn't want us to find out the reason why the abbot refused to leave home that day, for fear that the abbot will have a fiery eye and have already seen through his resentful heart; ”

Xu Liuliu paused, glanced at the two people beside him, covered his mouth and said: "Do you really think that the case of Fan Zhangmen is a pagan practice?"

"Sister Xu, is it possible that you think ......" Wen Renzhan immediately put his elbow on the table, leaned forward to a servant, and said softly: "Could it be that someone in the faction used the name of the Great Joy Palace to cover up people's eyes and ears and kill the teacher?"

"Although I have no clear proof, I still have a secret feeling in my heart that this case is different from those previous evil deeds. Xu Liuliu pursed his lips for a while, reached out and picked up the current tea cup, and before he could close his lips, he had already said again: "Those evil things before, which one was not shocking but silent? How have you ever heard that a pagan sect will also look for helpers and install an internal response? How have you ever seen a pagan sect expose itself and hide, and some sect members are folded in the hands of outsiders? Besides, you wait to think about the night of the Chaotic Cloud Pavilion...... Xu Liuliu paused, pursed his lips and secretly looked at the people fighting twice, and when he saw his light smile, this party fled his eyes to other places, and said lightly:" The two brothers and sisters of the deer were poisoned by strange poison, and they almost died under the rocks. He thought about it, and he didn't know why the pagan cloud had done this. That pagan religion, acting strangely, using thunderbolts, even if it has no roots, no reason, no evidence, and wants people to die, how can it be reasonable? Where can there be some gossip about 'traitors should be betrayed by others'?"

"Miss Xu's words, why didn't she say it clearly in front of Brother Liu on the Portuguese Mountain that day?"

Xu Liuliu sighed lightly, slowly sipped the tea soup in his palm, and after a while, Fang said: "I never made this conjecture at the beginning. It was only after I saw the ancient scripture in Jintai Temple, and only then did I see the corpse of the black-faced disciple, so I dared to hook up the front and back, and I made this inference. You wait and think about it, the old abbot will pass away, you and I will go out and see Wu Jintai, so sooner or later, how can it not be someone else, it is him? The corpse of the pagan who came up the mountain is carved with blue, so much and no less, and the partial life is a sentence from the ancient scripture in Wu Jintai's hand. Such a coincidence happened before and after, but it is impossible for me to say it in conclusion. ”

"And on the night that Fan Zhangmen died, he didn't allow Brother Liu to enter to deliver food, but taught him to call Wu Jintai to go; and the pagan person, after committing the murder, he appeared in the stone house at the foot of the mountain, trying to kill Wu Jintai's widowed mother; and ......" Song Yougu leaned back, opened his eyes on his back, and when he folded the fan and shook it gently, he sighed again: "But Wu Jintai's widowed mother has long been demented and crazy, and she can't even recognize her own son!"

Hearing that Xu Liuliu and Song Yougu said a word, his heart was irritated, and he wiped the thin sweat of his hairline with his palm, and said to himself: "Today, I passed the stone house at the foot of the mountain, and I took a closer look. Although the house is narrow, it is spotless and clean. That Wu Jintai is really obedient to his widowed mother, and there is no disobedience. The words and actions of the mother and son, licking the calves and hanging their hearts, made Zhan'er feel sad for a while, and even stole a few tears. ”

When Song Yougu heard this, he leaned forward, slowly shook the folding fan twice at Wen Renzhan, and laughed softly: "That's also because his mother is not as noisy as Fengchi Shitai, although he is crazy and can't recognize people, he honestly doesn't run, don't make trouble, don't cry or scream." The things of sewing, washing, and cleaning the cooking have not been left behind. ”

Hearing this, Zhan Sakura pursed her lips, and said in a coquettish voice: "I watched that Wu Jintai talking to his mother, even the tone was unusual, gentle and gentle, and I didn't get tired of repeating a sentence eight or nine times. Although his aunt can't even pronounce his name and surname, but the mother and son are connected, I see that his aunt's heart is very clear. ”

"I still saw that Wu Jintai knelt down on his knees, and asked softly, 'Auntie, don't you feel sorry for your son?' Although his mother was speechless, then, as soon as he heard Wu Jintai say, 'I nodded when I was distressed, and shook my head if I was not distressed', but his mother could understand it, and her head and neck were like chickens pecking rice, and she kept nodging her head and neck, and she had one arm in both arms, just like a big chicken guard, and took Wu Jintai into her arms. This scene makes my eyes so hot!"

Song Yougu sighed, leaned together for a while, and said lightly: "Two young ladies, one of you will deduce the case here and be a female Zhuge in the middle, and the other will continue to envy others and ask for a mother and son filial piety." In the next little accompaniment, I went to the bedroom to rest first. I'm afraid that tomorrow, I still have to pass the remaining disciples of Qinshan through the hall one by one and interrogate them all over again. The laborious pass is still ahead. ”

"If you want to come to that Wu Jintai, I have already calculated that you and I have seen Liu Songyan. Song Yougu shook his eyebrows, forced a smile on his face, and looked really ugly than crying, "Where are there two pagan people, there is clearly only one." ”

Song Yougu paused, and said as he walked: "That bastard boy dares to secretly shadow this son!"
