Chapter 42: The Nanshan Temple Tragedy

As soon as Master Zhengyi finished speaking, a mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth, and then his head drooped, and he lost his breath......

After a while, the head of Bai Mei stepped forward to check, and after finding that Master Zhengyi had indeed been poisoned and died, he let out a sigh and sighed: "Thinking about the relationship between you and me, I Bai Mei can only keep a whole corpse for you, as for the other people in Nanshan Temple, I think it is better to let them go down to accompany you......"

Then, the white-eyebrow manager turned his head to look at the woman in black again, and said, "Fairy, I didn't get the water spirit bead, and now the little county lord has fled again, so I killed Nangong Zhengqian, how should we explain when we go back?"

"There is a reason for it, and we have done our best, and the master will not punish us when he knows about it. The woman in black sighed and said, "The remnants of the Hundred Flowers Valley must have known the secret of the Water Spirit Bead, so they will protect that girl even if they are enemies with us." The Water Spirit Bead is more important to the Hundred Flowers Valley than to us, presumably the little girl has been escorted to the Hundred Flowers Valley by them at this time, even if we catch up at this time, I am afraid it will be too late. Moreover, the little county lord already knew that it was the housekeeper Su Zhong who betrayed them, so he must not come to this Nanshan Temple to die again, and there is no point in us setting up an ambush here, so it is better to get rid of Master Zhengyi as soon as possible, so as to prevent future troubles......"

The white-eyed manager nodded when he heard this, then turned his head again and glanced at the woman in black.

The woman in black comprehended and quietly disappeared into the meditation room, and after a while, a terrible scream came from the direction of the hall in the distance......

Bai Mei was unmoved, and reached out to search the corpse of Master Zhengyi, and after finding nothing, he turned around in the meditation room, as if he was looking for something important.

It's a pity that he rummaged through the entire meditation room, but he didn't find what he was looking for, and his two white eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle.

The furnishings in the meditation room are very simple, except for a few Buddhist scriptures and a wooden fish, there are no valuable items at all.

Bai Mei patiently flipped through a few Buddhist scriptures, and found that they were indeed some ordinary scriptures, and there was no hidden mezzanine in the pages, so he angrily tore these scriptures to shreds.

Just when he wanted to give up looking for it, he subconsciously glanced at the wooden fish next to him.

Just now, he felt that this wooden fish was a little strange, but now when he looked closely, he found that this wooden fish seemed to be a little larger than the wooden fish used by ordinary monks.

So Bai Mei's eyes lit up, and he picked up the wooden fish, and after some knocking, he found an abnormality.

The wooden fish turned out to be hollow, and there was obviously something important hidden in it.

So Bai Mei slashed out a palm at the wooden fish, only to hear the two soft sounds of 'click' come out one after another, and at the same time that the wooden fish was split in half, a small pale golden scroll also fell out.

Bai Mei copied the scroll in his hand, and after unfolding it, he just glanced at it, and immediately his face was happy.

Thinking that the woman in black was outside, Bai Mei didn't have time to take a closer look, and after hiding the scroll close to his body, he walked out of the meditation room as if nothing happened.

At this time, the direction of the main hall also returned to calm, and no sound came out, giving people a feeling of dead silence.

Bai Mei strode forward, and when he passed outside the main hall, he faintly smelled the smell of blood wafting in the air, so he quickened his pace and walked to the entrance of Nanshan Temple with his nose covered.

The woman in black was already waiting here, and when she saw Bai Mei coming out, she didn't say much and flew towards the bottom of Zhongnan Mountain first......

On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, the four of Bai Canghai walked along the rugged mountain road towards Zhongnan Mountain.

Perhaps because the sky is a little dark and cold today, and it seems that a heavy snow is about to fall, there is no one on the mountain road to Nanshan Temple at this time.

The little county lord accidentally broke his foot when he climbed the mountain, and was carried all the way forward by Mo Datong, which was originally an hour's journey, and the four of them only took more than half an hour to come to the outside of Nanshan Temple.

Bai Canghai looked up, only to see that this temple is not very big, the temple gate is not very magnificent, but its antique building is a unique charm, quite the essence of Buddhist architecture, there is a kind of 'loud voice, elephant invisible' spirit.

It can be seen from the badly weathered plaque alone that the age of this temple is at least nearly a thousand years old, and it is obvious that it has a long heritage, which is even more rare.

Through the digestion and understanding of those books on the Hundred Flowers Boat, Bai Canghai also knew that Buddhism was not widely spread in this world, at least in this day, Nanzhou was still very weak.

Perhaps because of the existence of immortal cultivators, people here are not very superstitious about Buddhism, so the incense of Buddhism is not very vigorous.

Such as Nanshan Temple, an ancient temple that has been handed down for nearly a thousand years, there are probably not a few in the entire Tiannan Prefecture.

Bai Canghai couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, if such a temple was placed in his previous world, I am afraid that it would have been repaired and protected a long time ago, and it would have been developed into a tourist attraction of a thousand-year-old temple......

At this moment, Bai Canghai committed an occupational disease again, and regarded himself as an archaeologist again, but he didn't find that Zi Ling's expression at this time had become a little strange.

As an immortal cultivator, he has long been able to establish a faint sense of harmony with his surroundings similar to that of heaven and man.

When she was approaching the outside of Nanshan Temple, Zi Ling felt that there was a dead silence in Nanshan Temple at this time, which invisibly gave her an extremely depressed and dull feeling.

Out of safety, Zi Ling stopped the three of them from moving forward, and first climbed over the wall alone and entered the temple to investigate......

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the temple door of Nanshan Temple was opened from the inside out, and Zi Lingtie walked out of it with a blue face.

The three of them were waiting anxiously, and immediately greeted them to ask about the situation in the Ziling Temple, but Ziling kept silent, just sighed and shook his head.

Zi Ling's performance made the little county lord feel uneasy, so he limped into the Nanshan Temple despite his foot injury.

"Stop her, don't let her go to the big hall, the person you are looking for may be in the meditation room in the back. Seeing that the little county lord was about to go straight to the main hall, Zi Ling hurriedly told Mo Datong.

Although Mo Datong was puzzled when he heard this, after catching up with the little county lord, he took her in the direction of the meditation room behind.

He had been to Nanshan Temple many times, so he naturally knew that the meditation room behind the main hall was the place where Master Zhengyi lived.

Seeing that the two of them quickly bypassed the main hall and disappeared into a meditation room at the back, Bai Canghai glanced back at Zi Ling as he walked, and couldn't help but wonder why Zi Ling didn't let the little county lord go to that hall.

So Bai Canghai turned around and walked to the hall alone, wanting to take a look.

But when he stepped into the main hall, he suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and he felt dizzy in front of him, and suddenly retreated in a hurry, leaning over and vomiting outside the temple gate.

The situation in the hall was really terrifying, more than a dozen people inside were all in different places, stumps and broken arms were everywhere, and blood was sprinkled on the walls and ground, like a human purgatory.

At this moment, Bai Canghai finally understood why Zi Ling didn't let the little county lord come to this hall.

"It's all dead," Zi Ling walked in front of Bai Canghai, shook his head and said, "The perpetrator's methods are extremely cruel, I'm afraid it is not the work of ordinary people. ”

"Immortal cultivators?" Bai Canghai held back the discomfort in his stomach and raised his head to ask, seeing that Zi Ling was silent, he said again: "Can immortal cultivators kill innocents indiscriminately like this?

"Restraint?" Zi Ling shook his head, "How to restrain it?" This is a world where strength is respected by the weak and the strong, the monk is the master of this world, and the mortal people are just the lowest existence to them, and if they are killed, they will be killed, it is not a big deal......"

Bai Canghai questioned: "Didn't you say that monks were not allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately in the secular world?

Zi Ling explained: "Of course they will take care of it, but it is necessary to get their attention. Killing a few inconsequential people like this doesn't involve any secular forces, and no one stands up to avenge these monks, and no one identifies who the murderer is, so what do you let them do? They won't waste time on such trivial matters......"

"A trivial matter?" Bai Canghai suddenly straightened his waist, pointed to the hall and said, "In your eyes, this is a trivial matter? As the so-called human life is greater than the sky, how can we turn a blind eye? If we let the murderer be caught, they will be paid with blood!"

"Just you?" Zi Ling glanced at Bai Canghai in surprise, not knowing why he had such a big reaction, and seeing his serious face, he couldn't bear to hit him again, so he smiled and said, "I'll wait for you to do justice for them and clear the ...... of the universe."

Then, the two of them left the main hall and walked to the meditation room at the back of the main hall.

Approaching the meditation room, the two heard Mo Datong's shouting, and rushed into the meditation room only to find that it was the little county lord who fainted, and Mo Datong was at a loss.

Zi Ling stepped forward to check and found that the little county lord was just fainting due to excessive grief, and after giving him a heart protection pill, this made his breath calm down.

After gently putting down the little county lord, Zi Ling looked at Mo Datong again, pointed to the body of Master Zhengyi and said, "Who is this person? ”

"Master Zhengyi. Hearing this, Mo Datong subconsciously replied, but suddenly remembered the shouting of 'uncle' to this person before the little county lord fell unconscious, and some doubts in his heart were immediately solved.

The appearance of this Zhengyi Master is very similar to that of Nangong Zhengkun, the king of the side-by-side, and the little county lord calls him 'uncle', and the relationship between the two is about to come out.

At this moment, Mo Datong finally understood: why did the prince repeatedly let himself send letters to this Zhengyi master, why did he leave his last words before he died, to send the little county lord here, and why did the little county lord insist on coming here......

Mo Datong didn't blame Nangong Zhengkun for hiding the truth from himself, after all, he hadn't found out who the spy in the mansion was at that time, and it was understandable that the prince would hide some important things.

Thinking of this, Mo Datong slammed his fist on the ground, and said fiercely: "Su Zhong, I will kill you......"
