In the Jiuda Temple on a winter night, the lights were dim, and Ji Zheng personally carried a lone lamp and led the way in front, followed by the other two remaining abbots and Hongning, who was named by Zhao Wu'an.

Ciqing said indignantly: "First asked us to go to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, but when we got there, we didn't see anyone, but only told us to go to the Medicine Master Palace, what kind of medicine is being sold in this Zhao Wu'an gourd!"

Ji Zheng said: "Although Zhao Wu'an has always acted perversely, An Guangmao is a good person with a good reputation in Qingdi Township. With him as a guarantor, I would like to believe Zhao Wu'an this time. ”

Ciqing snorted: "I'm afraid it's either a delaying tactic, or a move the tiger away from the mountain." ”

Ci Xiao followed behind slowly, puzzled for a moment: "Divert the tiger from the mountain, what good is it for Zhao Wu'an to transfer us to the Medicine Master Palace?"

Hearing several uncles say the word Zhao Wu'an, Hongning was so frightened that he seemed to shake the chaff.

Ciqing glanced at Hongning and said dissatisfiedly: "You are too bold. Although Jiuda Temple is a pure place of Buddhism, it does not like bloodless people. ”

Ji Zheng's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he said leisurely: "Not necessarily." But looking at the effect of mercy, he is silent on weekdays, but he can subdue Zhao Wu'an with one move at critical moments, which is to hide movement in silence and the wisdom of Buddhism. ”

Cixiao humbly said: "Amitabha, the abbot has won the award. ”

While speaking, the four of them had already walked to the Medicine Master Hall.

The lights in the hall were awe-inspiring, and unexpectedly, except for a monk in Xuanyi who was sitting on the futon in the middle with his back to everyone, the entire hall was empty.

Ji Zheng frowned: "What are you doing here?"

Unexpectedly, the Xuanyi monk suddenly spoke, and it was Zhao Wu'an's voice: "Uncle Hongning, when you saw Uncle Cixuan that day, this is the posture, right?"

As soon as he heard Zhao Wu'an talking to him, Hongning's face turned pale with fright, but he had to answer: "Yes, yes." ”

"When is that?"

"I don't know......" Hongning's voice trembled, "I got up to go to the toilet, and I didn't look at the water leak, the earth is around the ...... of time."

"What time is it?"

"I can't remember, I really can'......t remember" Hongning tried to shrink back, his voice became lower and lower, and cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead.

Then he was held up by Ciqing behind him, and pushed forward half a zhang.

"That night, Uncle Cixuan was guarding the Medicine Master Palace, the main hall of the Daxiong Treasure Hall was guarded by Master Jizheng, the west side of the Dizang Hall was Uncle Ciqing, and in the Tianwang Hall under the Sin Lotus Pagoda, it was Uncle Ci Mourning. On the futon, the monk in the Xuanyi robe said in a serious voice in Zhao Wu'an's voice.

"Senior Uncle Hongning, how did you act when Senior Uncle Cixuan asked you to bring a few abbots, do you remember?"

Hongning swallowed frantically and replied in a trembling voice, "Remember." ”

"Tell me about it. ”

Ciqing increased the force in his hand again, forcing Hongning to straighten up.

Hongning trembled and said: "The Medicine Master Hall is the closest to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, so I first went to find Uncle Jizheng, then went to the Dizang Palace, and then went around to the Heavenly King Hall with Uncle Ciqing to find Uncle Ciqing. Because the place where the abbot lived was too far away from the remaining two abbots who did not have to keep vigil, I went to the abbot first, and the three uncles went to wake up Cihong and Abbot Cixiao. ”

"How long did it take before you left here and came back?"

Hongning lowered his head and thought about it, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and replied tremblingly: "Come on for half an hour." ”

"It's so dark in the temple, didn't you take a lamp when you came out to go to the thatched house?" asked Zhao Wu'an.

Hongning shuddered and said: "I went by moonlight, and when I went back, I walked along the Medicine Master Hall for a while, and I was stopped by Uncle Cixuan......"

"Lie!" Zhao Wu'an suddenly shouted.

Hongning was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and said with tears in his eyes: "Senior Brother Zhao, Zhao Wu'an, let me go! I beg you, I really don't know anything!"

Hongning's reaction was so violent, it was surprising. Jizheng and Ciqing glanced at each other, and neither of them knew why.

"Today is the twenty-third day, and since yesterday the waning moon will only rise after the hour of the child. How can you see the moon when you go out around the middle of the hour? Hugh said that when you went to the thatched house, even if several abbots had arrived at the Medicine Master's Hall, the hour had not yet arrived. ”

Zhao Wu'an said categorically: "Hongning, tell the truth, I still respect you uncle." Otherwise......"

With a bang, Hongning lay on the ground, kowtowed to the hall, and said hurriedly: "I said, I said." On the day Uncle Tzu Xuan returned to Jiuda Monastery, he found me and asked me to go to the Medicine Master Hall that night, because he had something to explain to me. I am also half a disciple of Uncle Cixuan, but he went to Shu and brought me something wonderful, so I went in the middle of the night...... I don't know anything else! When I went, he was alive, he asked me to find other abbots, and I didn't lie, I swore to the Buddha that I only knew so much!"

In the cool night, a sour smell suddenly rose from the entrance of the Medicine Master's Palace. Ji Zheng frowned and looked down, and there was a puddle of urine under Hongning's body, soaking his clothes.

Ji Zheng shook his head helplessly and covered his mouth and nose. Fortunately, the monks have always been vegetarians, and the body odor is not unpleasant, but it is difficult for him to accept that there is such a sudden disturbance at the gate of the Medicine Master's Palace.

"There's more to it than that. In the hall, Zhao Wu'an's voice was lazy, but it was clear and audible.

Hongning's face turned pale with fright.

"Cixuan should have asked another person to accompany you, and that night, when it was supposed to be your house, there should have been three people in this medicine hall. Am I right?"

Hongning didn't say a word, just knelt on the cold ground, trembling all over.

"This person is the one who should have kept vigil in the Jizo Temple. And the lantern that is indispensable for walking at night is in his hand. You came to the Medicine Master Hall with him, Uncle Ciqing, right?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Hongning trembled with fear, but Ciqing's face behind him also changed suddenly.

"How do you know?" Ciqing didn't bother to refute, and asked in a daze.

"Because if you rule out other possibilities, you're the only one left. Zhao Wu'an said lightly, "After returning from Shudi, our seven abbots and abbots were divided into two factions. One faction has secretly surrendered to the Ten Wishes of Shudi, and the other faction still follows the teachings of Jiuda Temple and is unwilling to change. Uncle Cilong stayed in Shudi, but only as a representative of several abbots. ”

The new abbot and the two abbots standing in front of the temple gate were stunned.

"Hongning is a disciple of Ci Xuan, and it is natural for Ci Xuan to want to share his teachings with him. But Uncle Ciqing, why is Uncle Cixuan favored again?"

Zhao Wu'an asked and replied: "Because Uncle Ciqing has always been at odds with Cilong, although he is already happy and sincere to the monks of Shudi, he still does not want to be in the same stream with Cilong. Uncle Cixuan specially invited Ciqing in the middle of the night to persuade him to spread the new teachings of the Ten Wishes of Shu together. ”

Ji Zheng said awe-inspiringly: "I am also the abbot of Shu in person, although I am defeated by those teenagers, I am also willing to lose." Buddhism in the world is on the same path, how can there be a reason to surrender to sincerity!"

"Uncle Jizheng doesn't believe it, and it is natural that you are not the one who wants to surrender. ”

Behind the Moonlight Bodhisattva, a crisp girl's voice suddenly sounded: "Ah, he's not that faction, how can he still live until now?"

was provoked by this rebellious remark, Ji Zheng's face immediately sank, and his face was gloomy.

Zhao Wu'an smiled bitterly and said, "Can't you just hide in peace?" Forget it, since it has been exposed, then you can come out and take off that dress." ”

Under the gaze of several abbots, a red-clothed girl jumped out from behind the Moonlight Bodhisattva Lotus Platform, ran to the front of the Medicine Buddha Dan Pier, and stretched out her hand to press on the dark silk robe of "Zhao Wu'an".

Several people's eyes widened, and Ji Zheng said angrily: "You yellow-haired child, how can you defile the Bodhisattva sitting lotus!"

was reprimanded suddenly, and his father was not around, so he couldn't be a fool, An Qing blinked innocently, and shrank back a little scared.

Zhao Wu'an said lazily: "Don't be afraid of them, it's a big deal if you don't come to Jiuda Temple in the future." Lift your clothes off. ”

An Qing, whose hand was already on the tie in the robe, nodded, and reached out to lift off the monk's clothes on the futon.

In fact, even if An Qing didn't come out to reveal the mystery, Jizheng guessed seven or eight points.

There is no one sitting on the futon, just a small bronze candle tree, with a few branches inserted to support the human shape. It's not even a doll, it can only be said to be a shelf.

And Zhao Wu'an, who had only heard his voice and never seen him, came out from the back of the merit box and under the Danqi.

Forget about An Qing, Zhao Wu'an is also so rebellious, Ji Zheng is so angry that he wants one Buddha to be born and two Buddhas to ascend to heaven, and his nostrils are puffed: "How can you go up to that Buddha altar!"

"Uncle Jizheng, don't be angry, I'm not here to show you. Zhao Wu'an spread his hands helplessly, "That night, when Hongning and Ciqing arrived here, Cixuan was actually dead. And the person who pretended to be Uncle Cixuan was hiding where I was just now, talking to you. ”

Ciqing's brows tightened, and he didn't even have the heart to ask questions at this time, and listened intently to Zhao Wu'an's next explanation.

An Qing stood beside Zhao Wu'an with the tattered silk coat, as if holding a battle flag that could be used to show off her might, and a lock of hair fell from her shoulders. She tilted her head to look at Zhao Wu'an, obviously very interested in what happened next.

"The cause of Cixuan's death was that he was cut out of his heart by a knife. Zhao Wu'an gestured with his bare hands to dig out his heart, "According to the size of the hole in his chest and the cleanliness of the scene at that time, the murderer's movements should be very crisp. ”

An Qing, who was still excited before, immediately changed her expression, and her miserable face seemed to have swallowed a cockroach alive.

"After digging out the heart, I stuffed it into the bluegrass without stopping. Orchid grass has a deodorizing effect, because Uncle Cixuan's heart and lungs are exposed for a very short time, so when I came in, I didn't smell a trace of stench. I have to say that this murderer has worked killing. ”

Ci Qing asked in a hoarse voice, "Ci Xuan, will he just watch others kill him, and he won't resist?"

Zhao Wu'an said clearly: "He wants to resist, but I'm afraid he doesn't have the strength anymore." ”

"How come?" Ji Zheng asked, "I'm an old bone, and I dare not let people dig out their hearts casually." Ci Xuan is in his prime, and his heart is tenacious, how can he say that he is out of strength?"

Zhao Wu'an put his hand to his mouth, made a trumpet shape, and shouted outward: "Peach!

Several abbots were stunned.

Uncle Cixiao, who was standing at the back, didn't react to what was happening, until someone patted him on the shoulder and said in a non-standard Chinese dialect: "Let Jean." ”

Cixiao took two steps to the side and looked back.

Behind him, at some point, more than a dozen strong men had appeared, carrying a tightly wrapped big guy in unison, and they also walked towards the Medicine Master Hall.

Yang Hujiao, who walked at the end, shouldered the heavy responsibility of holding up the whole object, and his teeth were so cold that his teeth were fighting, but the princess next to him was happy, humming the Varan folk song and following behind everyone.

Yang Hu sighed silently in his heart. It's just a peache, do you need to be so happy?

Thinking about her silent protection for many years, the princess mustered up the courage to give a silver hairpin on her eighteenth birthday, but Duan Taoli wore it twice and threw it under the box, but it was a bamboo hairpin that was cut by the unserious layman who was kept close to her until now. Yang Hujiao is really desperate.

are also men, others are destined to have sometimes, peach blossoms bloom everywhere, they are hanged from a crooked-necked tree, and Lao Yang just doesn't give birth to flowers. It can't be compared, it can't be compared.
