The sun had completely risen in the east, and the early morning glow shone in every corner of the temple, seemingly diluting everything that had happened last night.Lin Yi stood in front of a big tree, motionless, tilting his head and staring at a monk who was sweeping the floor under the tree, his eyes like a hungry wild cat staring at a mouse.And the sweeping monk didn't react at first, but after Lin Yi stared at him for nearly five minutes, the monk finally became a little uncalm, Lin Yi's outrageous eyes made the monk gradually feel frightened, blocked the big broom in his hand, and stared vigilantly at Lin Yi step by step back.The monk who quit anger has been standing beside Lin Yi, looking at Lin Yi's strange behavior, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Lin, what are you doing" Lin Yi didn't look back at him, and said: "Generally, the hidden monks in the temple are either sweeping the floor or guarding the Tibetan scripture pavilion, this monk is very suspicious" Hearing Lin Yi's words, the monk almost fainted, it turned out that Lin Yi stared at this monk for half a day."
Master Lin, I said what kind of theory are you, this is my junior brother, and he is also a precept generation, and he has been in the temple for a shorter time than me, how can he be a hidden monk" "Is it true, but why does he look much older than you" Lin Yi still insisted on his own point of view, pointing at the monk and asked.After hearing this, the monk suddenly cried and laughed, and said: "I'm just more mature, in fact, I'm only eighteen years old this year, Lord Lin, don't wronged me, okay?"
”Lin Yi didn't apologize to him, he directly let the monk leave, and then looked around, and said helplessly: "Really, how can all of you Wuxiang Temple sweepers young monks find out what else can be found out like this" The monk glanced at Lin Yi and said: "Master Lin, why do you have to look for clues in the sweeping monk, I have rules in Wuxiang Temple, the sweeping monk must be a disciple of a younger generation and not a long time in the temple, and the senior brother and uncle who have a little age and experience only chant and chant Buddha in the room during the day." ”"So that's the case, if you didn't say it earlier, I was staring here for a long time, alas" Although Lin Yi said this, but listening to the words of the monk before quitting hatred, a trace of aura suddenly seemed to appear in his heart, but when Lin Yi thought about what it was, he couldn't firmly grasp that glimmer of aura."
Master Lin Shi, where are we going now, should we go to see Uncle Huikong's corpse first, and then look for the first scene where he was killed" Lin Yi couldn't remember the glimmer of inspiration just now, and finally didn't think about it at all, shook his head and said: "No, the first scene is useless to us, now what we have to do is to find out the reason why your master left halfway, I always suspect that there should be two murderers in this incident." ”"Why are the two murderers?"
asked the monk in confusion after hearing this."
I don't know, my brain is also in chaos now, this is just a guess, because the deaths of your two uncles are according to the eighteenth layer of hell, while your master and the Buddha statue have lost their heads, two completely different ways of killing, I don't know if the murderer did it on purpose, or if there are two different murderers at all" Speaking of this, Lin Yi shook his head vigorously and said: "Forget it, it's useless to say anything now, after all, there are too many misleading clues in this case, and there are no full certainty before, Let's not jump to conclusions, anyway, let's go and see your master's corpse first. ”After the two discussed, they came to the main hall of the Wuxiang Temple again, because the body of the host usually has to spend a period of time in the main hall before it can be cremated.The corpse presided over by Huitong lay flat under the statue of the Buddha who had lost his head in the main hall, and a large number of young disciples knelt in front of the corpse around, clasped their hands together and chanted Buddhist scriptures continuously, ignoring Lin Yi and the monk who had entered the main hall.After the two walked into the main hall, they first bowed slightly to the corpse presided over by Huitong, and then Lin Yi, after getting the consent of the disciples who surrounded the Huitong host, walked to the corpse of the host of Huitong, slowly lifted the white cloth sheet covering him, and carefully examined the headless corpse.The monk seemed to be very afraid of seeing his master's corpse sad, and lowered his head and asked, "Master Lin, I have always had a question, when the master died, the door of the room was closed from the inside, but when we went in, we didn't find the murderer." ”Lin Yi replied without raising his head: "The question you asked is simply idiotic to the extreme, not to mention the murderer's level, even if I can use energy to mobilize the door lock and lock the door lock from the inside when I go out, and I can also go out from the skylight, so the so-called secret room is just a trick for the murderer to deal with idiots like you, huh" Lin Yi said, suddenly puzzled, and gently reached out and pressed on the chest of the corpse presided over by Huitong, and found that the chest did not collapse, and the whole corpse had no head except for the head, The rest of the place is intact."
The cause of your master's death was not that his internal organs were shattered by internal strength, but that his head was cut off directly" The monk also tried to press it, and then said: "Yes, I found out about this last night, is there anything wrong" Lin Yi found out about this situation, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and said after a long time: "Do you remember what kind of posture your master was in when we went in" "Remember, the master was sitting cross-legged at that time, what's wrong" Lin Yi nodded slightly and said: "That's right, if you follow my reasoning, At that time, your master must have been on the way to come, and was called back by a person, and when the two were sitting in the room talking about something, that person suddenly cut off your master's head and killed him with one move" Speaking of this, Lin Yi raised his head slightly and said: "If this is the case, people like your master and other cultivators will not be able to react, and the strength of the murderer may have really reached the point of unfathomable" After hearing this, the monk frowned slightly: "But I don't remember that there is such a person in my Wuxiang Temple." ”"If you don't remember, it doesn't mean that you don't, if this kind of person has the intention to hide, it will be easy to find out, at least now it is certain that this person is known to your master, and now you must increase the intensity of investigation, first starting with people you are not familiar with."
As he spoke, Lin Yi inadvertently saw the hand of the host of Huitong, and said suspiciously: "Look, what is this" The monk followed Lin Yi's gaze, and saw that there were some golden things in the fingernails of the host of Huitong, and if you looked closely, it was clearly the gilded fragments on the Buddha statue:
