The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 43 Discovery of Forbidden Area

In the room, Zhao Yanxun, who was "exhausted physically and mentally", was sitting on a chair at the moment, drinking tea quietly with a teacup.

For him, appeasing Huang Rongrong's demon character was indeed very tiring.

At this moment, Xue Baoyun, who was sitting beside Zhao Yanxun, said, "My lord, why don't you see Monk Kongyuan!"

Zhao Yanxun showed embarrassment and said: "Yesterday, I just became friends with him, but today I tore down his house. How do you tell me to meet him?"

Xue Baojun nodded, and then asked, "Could the murderer really be in the monastery?"

When she asked this, it meant that he did not agree with this possibility.

Zhao Yanxun was noncommittal, but replied: "You have to check to find out!"

Even if there is only a chance to lose, Zhao Yanxun will not give up, even if he has a falling out with Kong Yuan, Wang Nian.

Xue Baoyun is a smart person, everything is kept silent, so she didn't ask any more questions.

On the other side, Kong Yuan, who was rejected by the door, returned to the mountain gate with the support of his apprentice.

But he didn't stay idle, but found several general banners who were searching in the monastery, and begged them to restrain their subordinates and try not to damage the architectural objects in the monastery.

Seeing Zhao Yanxun's face, several general flags could only hold their noses and agree, which made Kong Yuan feel relieved.

With the support of his disciples, Kong Yuan slowly walked towards the presiding quiet room.

Because of Zhao Yanxun's king's order, the guards in the monastery who searched and interrogated didn't bother Kong Yuan.

Hearing the screams coming from around from time to time, Kong Yuan's heart was bleeding.

At this moment, the gray-clothed monk at the side suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.

After checking that there was no one around, the monk in gray approached Kong Yuan's ear, and said in a low voice, "Master, the forbidden area in the back mountain..."

Hearing the words "forbidden area in the back mountain", Kong Yuan froze immediately, and immediately said: "Go... go to the back mountain and guard it!"

"Yes!"

Yuntang Mountain, where Wolong Temple is located, is a cliff in the direction of the back mountain, and there is only one road leading to the forbidden area.

This place is the place where the monks in the Wolong Temple passed away. In addition to the monks who are routinely cleaned up, even the abbot of the temple is not allowed to enter without reason.

When he came to the forbidden area in the back mountain, Kong Yuan was already out of breath, it was hard for him to walk this rough and difficult mountain road with a lot of grades.

Seeing the tightly closed gate of the forbidden area, the gray-clothed monk said worriedly: "Master, you have to think of a way!"

Think of a way, what can be done at this time, there is not even anyone who can help.

Kong Yuan pushed his apprentice away, then sat on the stone steps outside the gate, closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and recited scriptures in a low voice.

The gray-clothed monk didn't have the concentration to stay away, so he walked down the steps, came to the end of the road behind the stone, and stared at the situation in the distance.

…………

Half a day passed quickly, and after Xu Hong searched the mountain himself, he didn't find anything.

So he came to the mountain gate of Wolong Temple and asked his subordinates about the investigation.

The final conclusion was unsatisfactory. The guards searched the temple and found nothing suspicious.

Not only that, they also tortured some monks who might be suspected, but in the end they didn't get a result.

At this moment, several general banners stood in front of Xu Hong, all of them lowered their heads and dared not speak, for fear of arousing Xu Hong's anger.

"Trash, they are all fucking trash..." Xu Hong cursed.

Although the result was within his expectations, he was still extremely upset.

All the general banners and small banners dare not answer, they only hope that Xu Hong will finish scolding, and this test will be over.

He only heard Xu Hong snort coldly, and then walked down the steps. There was no progress in the matter so far. He had to think carefully about how to report to Zhao Yanxun.

Walking on the corridor, looking at the monks being detained by the side of the road, Xu Hong suddenly asked, "Why didn't you see the presiding monk?"

The general flag at the side quickly said: "My lord, the prince sent someone to say hello, and he must treat the host with courtesy!"

After all, the General Banner also told about Kong Yuan's visit to Zhao Yanxun.

"Where is the presiding monk Kongyuan?" Xu Hong asked casually.

The general flag next to him was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at a small flag officer behind him, who was Zhao Yanxun who took Kong away to meet.

Being watched by the superior, the little flag officer immediately replied: "Ask your lord...Master Kongyuan, it seems that you are heading towards the back mountain!"

Hearing this, Xu Hong's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "Houshan? Have you checked Houshan?"

The general banner next to him immediately replied: "My lord, the back mountain is the place where the monks passed away. The monks said it was a forbidden place in the temple. We haven't had time to check it!"

Xu Hong's eyes shone brightly. The so-called forbidden area happened to be a place for Tibetans.

"Take everyone and go to the back mountain to have a look!" Xu Hong waved his hand.

Forbidden land in the back mountain, this kind of place may hide something just by listening to the name.

When Xu Hong left, some of the guards stayed behind to guard the monks, and the rest followed Xu Hong to the back mountain.

On the only way from the back mountain to the forbidden area, when he heard footsteps not far away, the gray-clothed monk's heart was suspended.

When he saw Xu Hong coming with a knife, he knew the situation was bad.

So he immediately turned around, walked up to Kong Yuan as fast as he could, and said in panic, "Master, they are here!"

Kong Yuan opened his eyes, and his gaze swept to the corner of the road ahead, but his body did not move at all.

Soon, his eyes met Xu Hong's, and the distance between them became closer and closer.

After approaching, Xu Hong laughed and said, "Master Kongyuan, why did you come here?"

Kong Yuan didn't change his face, looked up at Xu Hongdao: "Benefactor, this place is the place where the monks of our temple passed away. In the future, poor monks will also Nirvana here. Why can't they come here?"

Xu Hong choked for a moment, he knew he couldn't talk much, so he didn't want to talk nonsense with this old monk.

"Master, last night there was an assassin at the residence of the monks, the prince was furious, and I ordered a strict investigation of the case, please give me a hand!"

Xu Hong spoke sincerely, but Kong Yuan said: "You have interrogated all the monks in this temple one by one, and you have searched all the houses in each courtyard. Isn't that enough?"

"Yes... We have searched all the temples, only this place is not there yet, as long as we go in and have a look, the suspicion of your temple can be cleared!" Xu Hong looked good for you.

Kong Yuan's expression was full of seriousness, and he said in a deep voice: "This place is the forbidden area of ​​the temple, and the temple rules have been passed down from generation to generation, and non-monk monks of the temple are not allowed to enter!"

"Benefactor, please go back!"

The more Kong Yuan was like this, the more suspicious Xu Hong felt.

"Master, what if I insist on going in?"

Kong Yuan closed his eyes, and then said: "Then you step over the poor monk's body!"

If someone else stopped him alone, Xu Hong would have chopped him down with a single knife.

But Zhao Yanxun made it clear that if he wanted to treat Kong Yuan with courtesy, Xu Hong could only restrain his impulse.

"Master, do you really want to fight against our prince?"

At this moment, Kong Yuan didn't answer the conversation at all, he was sitting in front of the gate, and he had to leave him to go in.

"Come on, go and move this old guy away!" Xu Hong's tone was cold.

But after he said this, Kong Yuan said: "If you take a step forward, the poor monk will bite his tongue and kill himself!"

"Although my Wolong Temple is small, I am also well-known in Longyou. Could it be that you talents from the Yongwang Palace came to Yuanyang...to force the abbot of Wolong Temple to death?"

What Kong Yuan said directly stunned Xu Hong.

The situation has developed to this point, and Xu Hong has been unable to make a decision.

Just when he was about to shrink back, he heard the general flag on the side lower his voice and say: "My lord... look at the stones beside the road, is that blood?"

Looking in the direction pointed by his subordinates, Xu Hong's eyes suddenly lit up. The black mass really looked like blood.

So he looked at the place carefully, and now he searched for it, and he found a lot of suspicious things.

The bloodstains on the stones, the broken branches by the roadside, and even the gate of the forbidden area seemed to have bloodstains indistinctly.

"Master, are you really not letting go?" Xu Hong's tone was gloomy, but now he had confidence again.

"Amitabha!" Kong Yuan clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and did not speak again.
