My generation is the Five Elements of Wushan Mountain

Chapter 66 · Guess
"What's the matter?"

The elder brother was slightly taken aback, pointed at Yu Baizhi's nose and cursed.

"How can you defile someone's innocence out of thin air!"

"Ahem, brother, don't get excited. Seeing how serious you are, I'm just kidding, just kidding."

Yu Baizhi hastily bowed his hands and apologized.

"Hmph, young man, don't make jokes like this. It's easy to get beaten, don't you know? Fortunately, brother, I'm not a very vicious person. For the sake of your good attitude, I forgive you."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Brother, do you know that man?"

"It's familiar but unfamiliar, but the man is making a very strange gesture while hugging the girl."

"Oh? What a strange method?"

"It's obviously not raining, but he made a gesture to hold an umbrella, but he doesn't have an umbrella in his hand..."

…………

"What clues have you found?"

Rong Cheng Xiao Sa looked curiously at Yu Baizhi who looked proud.

"It's possible that the murderer knew the deceased. At least the murderer knew the deceased. If you're lucky, that old man will be an eyewitness. But it's also possible that this is all his bragging. It's not easy to distinguish."

Yu Baizhi scratched his head, and suddenly narrowed his eyes as if he heard something.

"Did you hear any sound? Like... the sound of a gong?"

"Knock the gong, that's probably beating the watchman."

Rong Cheng Xiao Sa replied casually and yawned perfunctorily.

"Oh... that's not right! The watchmen don't strike the gong until night! Something must have happened! Go away!"

Yu Baizhi came to his senses and hurriedly dragged Rong Cheng Xiao Sa and ran towards the place where the noise was made.

It was a dilapidated temple!

Inside was an old monk sitting upright, knocking on the wooden fish and reciting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

As if noticing the arrival of the two, the old monk stopped chanting, raised his head and asked Amitabha in a slow voice.

"Two benefactors, I don't know what is the important matter of coming here? Is there any old monk who can help?"

Yu Baizhi didn't say a word as if he didn't hear it, and walked around the temple frowning, as if he was looking for something.

"Hey, old abbot, you are troubled. The two of us are here to disturb you for a while. Just now my friend heard the sound of gongs beating here, so he wondered if something happened, so he came here to check."

Out of helplessness, Rong Cheng Xiao Sa had no choice but to open his mouth to ease the embarrassment.

"Hey, master, why don't you even offer incense here?"

Looking at the somewhat damaged Buddha statue, Yu Baizhi asked suddenly.

"Amitabha, there is a lack of incense here. Although the old monk has the heart to offer offerings, he is unable to serve the Bodhisattvas. I am ashamed."

The old monk said he was ashamed, but he looked straight at Yu Baizhi, as if he was looking at a thief with evil intentions.

"Has the master been out in the past few days?"

Yu Baizhi didn't care about the old monk's strange expression, his eyes were fixed on the old monk's bald head like a torch.

"Since that's the case, master, do you know about the demon corpse in the early hours of this morning, have you seen any strange people?"

"Old monk, I don't usually go out. It's rare to see one or two homeless people here. I haven't seen any strange people... Speaking of which, old monk, I think you two are a bit strange."

The old monk said Amitabha, and Xiao Sa was embarrassed by what he said. He stole a look at Yu Baizhi, but found that Yu Baizhi was still thinking about it as if he didn't hear the last sentence!

"So that's it, what a bother, so farewell!"

Yu Baizhi roughly cupped his hands, dragging Rong Cheng Xiao Sa to go outside.

"Benefactor, the old monk still has something to say."

"Oh? Please let me know."

Yu Baizhi turned his head suspiciously.

"Also remember, the sky is dry and things are dry, so be careful with fire and candles."

After the old monk finished speaking, Yu Baizhi laughed loudly as if he had suddenly realized.

"So it is! So it is!"

"It turned out to be such a cause and effect!"

"Thank you master! I will take my leave!"

After speaking, Maniac ran out quickly.

"This...so? Hey, wait for me!"

Rong Cheng and Xiao Sa were stunned for a moment, and found that Yu Baizhi beside him had already run away and disappeared, so he just sighed and couldn't help but keep up.

Rong Cheng and Xiao Sa finally caught up with Yu Baizhi with great effort. At this time, Yu Baizhi ran to the west of the city, where the demon corpses were buried beside the bamboo forest. Yu Baizhi took a bamboo branch and drew on the ground. spells one by one.

"I've figured it out! I understand it all!"

While talking loudly, Yu Baizhi grinned loudly, his hair was disheveled, and he had no image at all.

"So what have you figured out?"

Rong Cheng and Xiao Sa panted, wondering if there was something wrong with Yu Baizhi's mind.

"Come on, look here!"

Yu Baizhi called Rong Cheng Xiao Sa to go over, and in the formation he arranged, Rong Cheng Xiao Sa saw densely packed golden Buddhist scriptures floating in the air.

"You...you are quite complicated..."

Rong Cheng and Xiao Sa sighed, but in return Yu Baizhi looked at him like a fool.

"Who told you to watch that, watch this!"

Saying that, Yu Baizhi pointed to the earth pit where the demon corpse was buried, and after looking carefully, Rong Cheng Xiao Sa found that those golden words were faintly surrounding the earth pit.

"This... don't play charades, it's better to explain it than I am guessing here."

Yubaizhi sighed in pity, sat cross-legged on the ground, held a bamboo branch and drew a cross on the ground, connected the vertices to form a pattern with an X in the mouth, and wrote a few words on it.

Left west and right east, demon corpses in the west of the city, wood.

Up north and down south, demon corpses in the south of the city, soil.

In the pattern drawn by Yu Baizhi, this happens to be a slanted triangle.

This made Rong Cheng and Xiao Sa a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, and some couldn't understand.He secretly sighed, do all Taoist priests like to play like this? They speak in such a cloudy manner that people really can't understand them.

"You see, the four directions are transformed into the five elements, and the earth sits in the middle seat. The west is gold, and the west seat is planted with bamboo forests representing wood; the south is fire, and the west seat stands for earth. This is the connection between them!"

"Um, I still don't understand."

Rong Cheng Xiao Sa said so.

"The west side is guarded by the White Tiger, and the south side is guarded by the Suzaku. Now the two beasts, the White Tiger and the Suzaku, have died one after another. If my guess is correct, this is probably the order in which they kill! They not only kill people, but also assassinate all saints. beast!"

Yu Baizhi spoke, his eyes were red, and he said in a vicious tone.

"The murderer is an idiot, one of the three fierce beasts! It wants to use the entire Yuexu City as a magic altar, and its goal is the power of the green dragon! Then its next target..."

"Its next target...is Xuanwu?"

Rong Cheng Xiao Sa took a deep breath, then laughed at himself in an uncertain tone.

"Hey, this is too fantastical, maybe you are overthinking, and it's just a few ordinary little monsters doing trouble?"

"Xuanwu, the holy beast, seeks good fortune and avoids evil. He is the longest-lived elder in the world. He is not only well-informed, but also extremely calm. How could he die so easily? You must be thinking too much."

Yu Baizhi handed a piece of yellow paper in front of Rong Cheng Xiao Sa, and said in a deep voice.

"Then what if the result of my divination can prove that I am right?"

Rong Cheng Xiao Sa took a closer look, and the yellow paper consisted of densely packed golden Buddhist scriptures, forming eight big characters...

"It's dry, be careful with candles"
