Void sat opposite Xingrui.

The courtesy of each other ends here.

"Although Luo Miao is a layman, he has also practiced in the temple for ten years, and he is a Buddhist cultivator in the world. ”

Luo Miao is proficient in Zen words, and he used to listen to the Zen master's lectures under the seat of Zen Master Xuyue, and knew that his cultivation was exquisite. ”

"Recently, I heard that he died, not only was he frustrated, but even the Zen master was shocked, it seems that Caoyun County is far away, but it is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. ”

With a false smile on his face, he sat cross-legged on the leather cushion in a frustration, and his squinted eyes stared at Xingrui.

"In the desolate land outside the Saiwai, there are not too many spiritual grass and strange fruits, and there are not many caves that are full of vitality and suitable for cultivation, but there are many barbarians. ”

Xing Rui smiled, his face cold, his eyes flickering.

"In addition to the barbarians, there are also demon cultivators who have become spirits, and demons who have escaped from the world. ”

"It's not that there are no powerful masters who have cultivated to a high level. ”

The white light disappeared into Xingrui's face.

Raising the right hand on his lap, he lightly unfolded his embroidered brocade sleeves, and a pale green glow passed on the stone between the two.

After the blue light, a Nanmu wooden table about a foot high appeared between the two.

On the wooden table, two teacups made of birch wood emitted white steam from the dark green tea.

Xingrui picked up the teacup in front of him, put the cup to his lips, and took a sip.

"Luo Miao himself is not bad at cultivation, and he is a good student of Buddhism, and after I heard that he died, I sent someone to investigate. ”

Putting the teacup back on the table, the cold color on Xingrui's face turned into calm.

After Xingrui put down the teacup, Zhang Yong, who was standing behind the void, reached into his sleeve and took out a stack of silk paper that had been prepared.

Putting the silk paper on the table, Zhang Yong stood silently beside Xingrui.

Xing Rui pointed to the silk paper on the table, his eyes met with the void.

"Here are the confessions we have gathered, and there are still some escaped soldiers left in Caoyun County, and they can all prove that among the people who killed Luo Miao were barbarians with red stripes painted on their upper bodies. ”

"A barbarian who has been forging his body all year round, although he is physically strong, he is also a human being. ”

Twisting the corner of the silk paper with his fingertips, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, but his eyebrows were frowning.

"If Luo Miao does his best to urge the sound of Buddha and Zen, even if it is me, I have to retreat. ”

"And mortals?"

Let go of his hand, still lying back on the table from the silk piece, he reached out and picked up the teacup on the table.

"Luo Miao died in front of the battle, and the person who killed him must not be low in cultivation, and may even be higher than below. ”

"Perhaps, the murderer is a strong man who is about to advance to emptiness. ”

He raised his head, drank the tea from the wooden cup, closed his eyes in a daze, and showed an intoxicated look on his face.

Xing Rui, who had been staring at the vain and calm face, lowered his head slightly, and his clear eyes became slightly deeper.

"We cultivators generally don't ask about the mundane, Luo Miao is from Mochuan County, and is respected as the guru of Mochuan County, but Mochuan County is also in the world. ”

"Besides, Buddhism and Taoism are complementary, when you sent the ancestor to the Tianhu Mountain, the two sides made a treaty, and the internal terms of Xingrui were kept in mind, and I didn't dare to forget it for a moment. ”

"Oh~!"

The frowning brow stretched, and he reopened his eyes with a smile on his face.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, you just said that cultivators like us will not go to ask the mundane?"

"But as far as I know, not long ago, Your Excellency stepped in to help Baisha County, I don't know if this is the case?"

Putting the wooden cup back on the table, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but the gaze in his eyes stared at Xingrui opposite.

Xing Rui, who was originally expressionless, frowned slightly.

He was silent for a moment before he said: "I heard that Buddhism pays attention to meditation, and people who like Buddha will even close themselves to death, Xing Rui really didn't expect that the news in the temple would be so well-informed!"

"That's right, Baisha County has made meritorious deeds, and I help him, which is also the meaning of Qingfeng. ”

"But it is also true that Xingrui remembers the rules, although Mochuan County has no merits, it has no bad deeds, and it itself exists in the world, so I can't harm Luo Miao. ”

"Moreover, there are also witnesses in Caoyun County, I wonder if Your Excellency wants to see them?"

"Huh. ”

Hearing this, he laughed a few times and put a smile on his face.

"I definitely want to see the witnesses, but these people are all laymen, how can they understand the battle of the cultivators. ”

Looking at the solemn emptiness, Xingrui's eyes flickered, and the lines between his eyebrows were engraved deeper.

"So, what do you mean?"

"What does Whitewater Temple mean?"

Hearing this, he turned his neck and glanced behind him, his gaze swept over Chen Fu, who was standing quietly by the threshold.

Turning his head, there was a touch of greedy fanaticism in the depths of his dark eyes on the serious face of the void.

"I heard that there are strange things in Baisha County, and there are also ancient demons in Caoyun County. ”

"The current affairs in the temple are bleak, and the Zen Venerable of the Zhuyuan is quite interested in the ancient demon corpse pill and strange grass and foreign objects. “

After saying this, the hall fell silent.

The bronze statue of Daozu standing majestically on the stone platform is reflected in the faint and flickering firelight, and the dim light scattered is like a thin yellow mist, enveloping everything in the hall.

Chen Fu, who was standing by the threshold, looked at the yellow curtain in front of him with shocked eyes, and raised his head with a frown.

The scattered candle flame stabilized in that moment.

Everything in the hall was clear again, as if nothing had just happened.

The vanity of the beast cushion in the middle of the temple, the greed and fanaticism in the depths of his eyes was completely replaced by shock.

He looked at Xingrui opposite him with a shocked face, but Xingrui was expressionless, and reached into his sleeve with an indifferent face.

After fumbling for a moment, Xing Rui took out a jade pot from his sleeve.

In the center of the pot body, the pen dyes cinnabar and paints the fire character.

Tadpole-like hieroglyphic runes surround the spout that is tilted upwards and slightly curved at the top.

Chao Xu's cup was mixed with hot tea, and after putting down the jade pot, Xing Rui reached out and picked up his cup.

"Luo Miao's death has nothing to do with my Daomen, according to the confession obtained from the witnesses, the other party is not only barbarians, but also cultivators. ”

"As for whether it is a demon cultivator or a demon, as Your Excellency said, it is difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference, and we are not at the scene, so we really can't know. ”

Raising his head and taking a big sip of tea, Xing Rui smashed his mouth and continued: "In addition, as far as I know, a demon corpse was indeed found in Caoyun County, but the corpse of the ancient demon is not complete, and it has not yet entered the peak, so how can there be a demon pill?"

"Strange grass spirit fruit? That's even more nothing, there is no strange color in Baisha County in recent years, and there is no anomaly, what strange things are there?"

"Luo Miao's death, Your Excellency can intervene in the investigation, and we will fully cooperate. ”

"Strange things, the young lord of Baisha County is here, you can ask casually. ”

The corners of his tea-stained mouth were slightly upturned, and Xingrui's eyes flashed with brilliance.

"However, the young lord is injured, and I ask the Zen master to take care of him, and don't use mana. ”
