Return to 1983 and be a detective

Xu Shan was just about to talk to Mr. Xiang about what happened this time, when he heard the phone ring.

Xu Shan immediately shut his mouth and asked Mr. Xiang to answer the phone first.

Mr. Xiang answered the phone and after listening to a few words, his expression changed: "Does anyone else know about your coming to my place?"

Xu Shan was very keenly aware of the change in Mr. Xiang's expression, and his heart skipped a beat: "No, why do you ask?"

"Someone caught Xiaobai and Xiaozhu and planned to threaten me with their lives, telling me not to reveal the situation to you."

so fast?

Or should we prepare for a rainy day?

If it was discovered in time, the words spoken probably would not have been a warning to Mr. Xiang.

So the person who is threatening Mr. Xiang now probably doesn't know that Xu Shan has come to Mr. Xiang and has learned a lot about the situation.

"What should we do now?"

Xu Shan waited to make a decision to the old man.

The old man Xiang sighed, and then his face gradually turned cold: "It seems that there are still some old friends who don't want me to talk. Is it because I have been back for too long? Those old friends have forgotten my name Xiang Huhu." Xiao Xu Ah, I have something to ask you."

"Old man, you give your order."

"I have to trouble you to go to Jiufeng Mountain. There is a Lotus Temple in the Jiufeng Mountain. There is an old monk there. Please go and ask him to come out. For other things, please leave it alone and don't ask too much."

Ok?

What is this routine?

Is Mr. Xiang going to invite some expert to come out?

But isn’t this a matter of solving the case?Why make it so mysterious, like a martial arts novel?

Xu Shan didn't understand, but he didn't ask again.

He immediately got on his bike and headed to Jiufeng Mountain.

Jiufeng Mountain was originally the ancestral mountain of Longshui, but it was later assigned to Jinwu, and Longshui was divided between Xiyang and Jinwu. Therefore, half of the history of Longshui now lies in Jinwu.

After riding for a while, Xu Shan arrived at the Lotus Temple in Jiufeng Mountain. He went straight into the Lotus Temple without taking a break.

After arriving there, he suddenly remembered that Mr. Xiang had not told him the name of the monk at all, and what was his dharma title?

Now it's troublesome. Is this a trip in vain?

At this time, he heard a loud Buddha's name. Xu Shan looked up and saw an energetic old monk, holding a whisk in his hand and looking at him.

Why is this monk so strange? Shouldn't the fly whisk be held by a Taoist priest?

Moreover, this monk does not look like the one shown on TV with his face full of Buddha's light. Instead, he looks a bit skinny and has an air of immortality.

So Xu Shan asked a very rude question: "Monk, are you an experienced Taoist?"

The monk was not annoyed at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Whether it's a monk or a Taoist, we are both monks. You can come or go, but you just have to follow your heart."

Xu Shan scratched his head, feeling that the old monk was a bit pretentious.

Then he asked again: "Monk, are there any other monks here?"

"No."

Xu Shan also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this old monk was the person he was looking for.

He was about to bring Mr. Xiang's words to the old monk.

But the old monk flicked his fly whisk and said: "Donor, there is no need to say anything. Please tell Xiang Hu that I am already a monk. I have jumped out of the Three Realms and am no longer in the Five Elements. I will not jump into the mortal world again to find trouble."

Ok?What is this answer?

Find the right person and then get rejected?

So does this count as completing the mission?How are we going to explain it to Mr. Xiang this time?

In fact, Xu Shan didn't feel that he owed Mr. Xiang anything.

At least he has no obligation to rescue Xiang Jinbai and Xiang Jinzhu, but now that he has come, he is not willing to go back like this.

"Monk, I think we can discuss it further. Do you want to hear why I came to find you?"

"Don't say it, don't say it."

The old monk seemed uninterested.

But who is Xu Shan? He is a senior magician. Over so long, he has developed the ability to see people. He can see people's hearts at a glance and not stop at the surface.

He saw that although the old monk said he was not interested, he had no intention of driving him away, and seemed to be still waiting for him.

What does this mean? You must be waiting for your price.

"Okay, if that's the case, I'll take my leave first."

Xu Shan turned around and left.

The old monk was taken aback.

He didn't expect that this young man would be so stunned and leave immediately.

Now that the words are out, I will lose face if I call Xu Shan back. What should I do?

Now the pressure is on the old monk's side.

He pondered for a moment, then called out to Xu Shan awkwardly.

Xu Shan turned around: "Monk, if you stop me, do you mean we have something to talk about?"

He is not the kind of guy who is unreasonable and comes here with the attitude of solving problems.

The monk chuckled, flicked the whisk, rolled up a futon, and asked Xu Shan to sit down.

Then he rolled up a futon himself.

The two of them sat in front of the Buddha statue in the Main Hall, seemingly not paying attention to the imposing Buddha at all.

Xu Shan spoke first and explained his purpose of coming.However, he did not mention the Yihu murder case he had handled. He was still not sure whether the old monk was really capable, so naturally he would not reveal his true purpose.

The old monk nodded slightly to express his understanding: "Actually, from the time when Xiang Tiger let me go, I knew that sooner or later he would call me back. After all, the empty door is not empty, and there is always something in my heart that I have not let go of, so I I will go to this ancient temple in the mountains to become a fake monk who is neither Buddhist nor Taoist."

"So you agreed to go out with me?"

"Otherwise? Do you think I have the right to refuse?"

"This is strange. Mr. Xiang has retired for many years now, and he no longer has the power to control you. Why are you still so afraid of him?"

"That's just a superficial phenomenon. There are still many things you don't know. Although you have an official air about you now, it can be seen at a glance that you are in a high position and there is a big background behind it. But these identities of yours The background can only scare ordinary people. For us people in the world, we don’t take this thing seriously at all. But Xiang Huhu is different. He holds the lifeblood of us people in the world in his hand. This kind of thing No matter when we are released, we will no longer be able to hang out in the world."

Xu Shan couldn't understand it even more: "Is there still a world of martial arts these days?"

"Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For example, if you don't see the air, you can't see it either. Things like rivers and lakes are just hidden, but they never disappear."

"Well, even if what you say makes sense, I don't quite understand why I need to come to you."

"Didn't Xiang Huhu tell you my true identity?"

"He didn't even tell me your name."

The old monk's cold face relaxed slightly: "He knows the truth, but I have nothing to hide from you. In fact, I am the leader of the Jinzi Sect in Longshui, and I have learned the art of fortune-telling."

"Is that so?" Xu Shan couldn't help but feel disappointed, "I spent so much effort, but I only found one fortune teller?"

"You can't look down on those of us from the Jinzi Sect. As soon as you arrived, I saw your identity and origin, and even knew that you were someone sent to Tiger. Isn't this vision enough to prove my strength? "

"What's the use of that? If you can really tell fortunes, then you can tell what's going on in my case?"

"Are you talking about the Yihu murder case? If you ask me about this, you are asking the right person. You policemen will never be able to solve this case. Even if you arrest the right person, you will not be able to produce any evidence. Prove that the murderer of this Yihu murder case is a murderer.”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Shan's pupils suddenly shook: "Wait a minute, how do you know that I am dealing with the Yihu murder case?"

The old monk stroked his beard and laughed: "So I have real ability."

"No, it's also possible that you are the murderer of the Yihu murder case. It was you who threatened Mr. Xiang. That's why you had a prediction of our whereabouts. That's why Mr. Xiang asked me to come to you. .”

The more Xu Shan talked, the more he felt that this was what happened. Teng suddenly stood up and wanted to arrest the old monk.
