In the night of Yangzhou City in August, the heat gradually dissipated, a little cool, Ouyang Bei woke up after a daze, unconsciously tightened the clothes on his body, and the moonlight shone into the private room through the window, bright as a blade.

Ouyang Bei looked up at the sky, only to see that the moon wheel was like a disk, and then he remembered that it was about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the current case is stalemate, and I am afraid that this Mid-Autumn Festival will be difficult.

Ouyang Bei saw that it was almost the same time, woke up Xiao Er, who had slept until he was snoring, to pay the bill, and slowly walked towards the back wall of Tianning Temple.

Tianning Temple is large-scale, fortunately, he has been here several times, knowing that Huayan Pavilion is in the backyard part of the temple, in order to avoid the noise of the front yard, only the virtuous and respected monks can study the Buddhist scriptures and Buddhism here, which shows that Xichen plays a pivotal role in this festival.

Ouyang Bei found a secluded corner of the back wall and climbed over the wall, tiptoed to Huayan Pavilion, and then remembered that although Huayan Pavilion was not big, there were no less than dozens of various rooms, but he didn't know which room to start with.

When I was in a state of worry, I suddenly saw the little novice Fatong who had received him during the day walking far away with a food box.

Ouyang Bei thought to himself, who else would he give food to him so late, could it be the guest that Xichen received?

He quietly stayed behind Fatong, only to hear Fatong whisper as he walked: "The master is really, and he asked me to deliver the meal, and the junior brother has nothing to do...... I don't know what kind of person the master entertained, he was locked in the house all day, he didn't eat, and his face was often blue and red, which was too scary. ”

Fa Tong chattered endlessly and pulled his shoes towards Huayan Pavilion.

He came to the door of a south-facing room on the second floor and stopped, then gently knocked on the door knocker a few times and said, "Donor, the master asked me to bring you food, open the door and I will send it in." ”

After waiting for a moment and not seeing an answer inside, Fatong increased his strength and knocked on the door and continued: "Donor, I have brought you food. ”

As a result, the room was still silent.

Fa Tong lowered his body and put down the food box, and said to the house: "Donor, I will put the food at the door for you." ”

After speaking, he whispered a Buddha name as if relieved, and hurriedly turned around and went downstairs.

Ouyang Bei continued to follow him, seeing the opportunity to pass by a remote small bamboo forest, he grabbed Fa Tong's neck and dragged him into the bamboo forest.

Fatong was shocked, dancing and wanting to shout, but his throat was choked and he couldn't shout.

Ouyang Bei put him down gently, let go of the hand that was holding his neck, and covered Fatong's mouth and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm Ouyang Zhutou, who came to visit Master Xichen in the morning, and I have something to ask the little master." ”

Fa Tong trembled for a long time before he came to his senses, and when he looked at Ouyang Bei, he felt a little settled in his heart, and replied tremblingly: "Master Ouyang, you... What are you asking me to do?"

Ouyang Bei Zhengse asked, "Who was that person in the Huayan Pavilion just now?"

Fa Channel: "This... Donor, the master told me not to tell others. ”

Ouyang Bei pretended to be annoyed and said: "If you don't say it, that is to deliberately deceive the officials of the imperial court and despise the laws and regulations of the country, I will arrest you and send you to prison, are you afraid or not?"

When Fa Tong heard that he was going to prison, he thought that the taste of prison food was very bad, and he was a little scared: "I ...... I ......"

Ouyang Bei urged: "Say it quickly, don't let me, mine." ”

Fa Tong was about to speak, Ouyang Bei suddenly felt that his neck was grabbed, and he rose up with his body in the air, and was forcibly lifted up.

Ouyang Bei was shocked and wanted to turn back, but another strong force came, throwing him out.

Ouyang Bei was in mid-air, but he was not flustered, and hurriedly raised his internal force, planning to have an iron plate bridge in the air to stabilize his body.

As soon as he mentioned the internal force, he felt that the acupoints were numb, and then he knew that the person grabbed it casually, and the internal force had penetrated into the meridians around him.

Ouyang Bei was shocked in his heart, and thought, "This person is so handsome!"

In an instant, he had fallen far away, and fell into a dog's.

Ouyang Bei was lying on the ground, hurriedly peeking and saw a man with his back to him.

This person is tall, the moonlight shines on his black and white hair, and he can't see his age clearly for a while, so it is very likely that he is a mysterious person in Huayan Pavilion.

Fatong was surprised and delighted, bowed to the mysterious figure, and ran to the front yard in a panic.

Ouyang Bei gritted his teeth and stood up, shouting, "Who are you, but you killed the two people in Fengyi Tower!"

He grabbed the Meteor Hammer at his waist in his hand and threw it at the man.

I saw that the mysterious figure seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and stretched out a hand to clamp Ouyang Bei's meteor hammer with two fingers.

At the same time, Ouyang Bei felt an unusually domineering force coming from the Meteor Hammer chain, straight through his legs, his knees suddenly weakened, and he fell to his knees.

Ouyang Bei was willing to give in easily, and hurriedly raised his internal force to fight against this domineering force, wanting to stand up.

I don't know that my internal force is like a mud cow entering the sea, and it has no effect, so I can only barely keep myself from falling to the ground all at once.

After a while, the beads of sweat were dripping down, and he felt nauseous and nauseous in his chest, which was really unbearable, and suddenly his eyes went black, and he fainted.

I don't know how long it took, Ouyang Bei woke up slowly. Seeing that it was still Haoyue in the sky, he knew that he was just under the force just now, and fainted for a moment.

I shook my head and still felt a splitting headache, my chest was stuffy, and I was about to sit up, when I suddenly saw a back standing in front of me, it was the mysterious person who had just stunned me with internal force.

Ouyang Bei recalled that the internal force of the mysterious person just now was able to add such a soft thing to himself through the chain, it could really be said that he was in the world, and he had never seen it in his life, and he was simply an old monster.

He couldn't help but worry in his heart, and thought, "If this person is the murderer of Fengyi Lou Yunlian and Ma Gongzi, I will definitely not be able to escape today." ”

I was frightened for a long time, but the old monster only turned his back to himself and did not move, and he did not mean to kill the killer.

Ouyang Bei couldn't help but suspect in his heart, if this person was a murderer, he would have killed me on the spot when I fainted just now, and he would never let himself lie down until now and wake up.

He said secretly: "No, if this person is really a murderer, he should know that I am the head catcher in Yangzhou, which is very disadvantageous to him, how can I not take advantage of such a good opportunity? It seems that this person has another background, and it may not be related to the Fengyi Lou case." ”

Thinking about this, I feel a little relieved.

He looked at the back of the old monster and pondered it, but he couldn't think of such a good player in Yangzhou City.

After another moment, the old monster kept his back to him, never looking back.

Ouyang Bei saw that he really had no intention of harming himself, and knew that he was wrong to blame, so he said in his heart: "This master of Xichen usually hangs a pot to help the world and purify all sentient beings, and will never contain murderers who kill people and oversell goods, I have to apologize quickly, don't make enemies in vain." ”

Thinking of his intimidating words last night, the old face was slightly red, and he coughed immediately, stood up, and said respectfully: "The junior is the catcher of this Yangzhou Mansion, named Ouyang Bei, who just didn't know the depth of the hammer and attacked the seniors, and the crime deserves death, and I ask the seniors to forgive me." ”

The old monster snorted, but didn't reply.

Ouyang Bei knew that he was still angry at the recklessness of his surprise attack, but seeing that his martial arts were superb and his knowledge must be extraordinary, he stubbornly continued: "The junior came to Tianning Temple this time to ask Master Xichen for help so that he could investigate the case of Fengyi Tower. I wonder if my predecessors have heard of this murder?"

Ouyang Bei saw that the old monster was still silent, as if he hadn't listened to himself at all, and thought: "This person has excellent martial arts, and he lives in Huayan Pavilion and is treated like a guest by Xichen, he is by no means an idle person, so he has to think of something to say." ”

He was bold and said: "Senior, listen to me again, there was a murder in this Fengyi Building a few days ago, two people without martial arts were injured by heavy hands, and the death was extremely miserable, and the scene was full of suspicions. The younger generation has been investigating all the way in the past two days, but they have never been able to find clues to solve the case, alas... I really don't know where to start, so I can only come to Master Xichen for guidance. ”

As he spoke, he briefly recounted the facts of the case.

He was afraid that the old monster's status was extremely high, and he was impatient to listen to these trivial cases, so he only explained in detail the strange set of kung fu that hurt people, and the rest was very fast.

The old monster didn't stop it, nor did he say anything to ask, he still only turned his back to Ouyang Bei, not knowing whether he was happy or angry.

Ouyang Bei said that it was finished, and said: "The martial arts of the predecessors are superb, and the younger generations have only seen them in their lives. I wonder if the seniors can give me some advice?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old monster suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter was arrogant and magnificent.

Ouyang Bei was afraid that his laughter would have a strong internal force, and his eardrums would burst, so he hurriedly covered his ears.

Fortunately, the old monster only smiled to express his feelings, not to hurt people with laughter.

Waiting for the old monster to stop laughing, Ouyang Bei asked cautiously: "Senior, with your outstanding martial arts and outstanding knowledge, what do you have such a high opinion?"

The old monster turned his head Dou Ran, his gaze swept over Ouyang Bei's face, and said coldly: "With my outstanding martial arts and knowledge, do you know who I am!"
