Mysterious World Tour

Tan Mo thought about it seriously and began to agree with Master Lianhua's words. Then he asked: "Brother, as the abbot of Lianhua Temple, why do you want to accept the reward for this murder case?"

This was quite strange at the beginning of Tan Mo, and he was still bargaining with the policeman.

"Junior brother, do you think this poor monk is not short of money..." Master Lianhua heard Tan Mo ask this question, and the original relaxed smile on his face immediately turned into a bitter smile. He looked at Tan Mo in confusion and asked: "Junior brother, do you have any misunderstanding? Do you think being a monk is very rich?"

Isn't it?

Tan Mo was surprised, in this world, people can still eat meat every day to gain strength. Is this possible without money?

Master Lianhua looked at Tan Mo's expression, seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Yes, you see, the princess often comes to visit the poor monk, and the policeman is extremely respectful to the poor monk. The poor monk is also a well-known figure in Luowan Town. , so I feel that it is inevitable for a poor monk to be wealthy if he has status.”

After speaking, Master Lianhua spread his hands, looked at Tan Mo with an extremely serious look and said, "But the fact is that the poor monk really has no money."

"You fellow apprentices all feed the poor monk. The most outrageous thing is that they ask for his wages. There are more than a hundred mouths waiting for food in the outer courtyard. Tell me, how can the poor monk have any spare money? Huh? Besides, the world is in such chaos right now, there are not many pilgrims coming up to burn incense, and the temple has always been unable to make ends meet!"

Master Lianhua kept complaining, his eyes were full of hints, and he was looking forward to Tan Mo saying "I don't want wages."

However, Tan Mo turned a blind eye. When he heard the words, he held his chin with his hand, deliberately showing a thoughtful look on his face, and then suddenly said: "Then the temple can still be maintained, doesn't it all depend on the reward from the princess?"

He remembered that every time the princess of Prince Teng came to the mountain to burn incense, she brought a lot of gold and silver rewards.

This young novice, who has little experience in the outer courtyard, can be dazzled every time and discuss it with great interest for a long time. Even the lawyer brother Bai Guzi saw it and did not scold and stop him. Instead, he intervened and discussed together.

"Exactly." Master Lianhua nodded and admitted frankly. Then he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Tan Mo and said: "Whenever the princess comes again, little junior brother, you have to respect her. By the way, there's that. She is a little princess, so you have to be accommodating and not bully her. I took her to climb a tree last time, so don’t do it again. She is a princess after all, not some country girl..."

Tan Mo nodded repeatedly, but he felt a little strange. He didn't know why, but when his senior brother mentioned the little princess, he couldn't stop talking about it. But then he thought about it, her mother was the largest customer of Lianhua Temple, and everyone in the temple was talking about it. I have to rely on my mother for food, so I understand a little bit.

Without desire, one is strong.

Once you have this idea, even eminent monks will get the vision.

"Senior brother, don't worry." Tan Mo clasped his hands together.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, Master Lianhua nodded.

"Brother, I have another question."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Brother, how did you know that the fisherman had recovered the body?"

"Think about it carefully, little junior brother. Not only do you have to pay more attention to everything, but you also need to use your brain more. This matter is easy to figure out. The rest requires experience." Master Lotus did not answer this time. As he spoke, he stood up and walked forward, saying as he walked: "You stay here and rest, I will come back when I go."

Tan Mo clasped his hands together and said yes, then he followed Master Lotus's example and sat down cross-legged.

There is a rock under the shade of the tree, just suitable for sitting.

However, Tan Mo did not think carefully about what Master Lotus said, because he understood it as early as the fisherman answered him. He asked this question, but suddenly realized that his body was only eight years old, and his behavior was mature. It's considered normal, but if your mind appears to be evil...then you will really be regarded as an evildoer and be imprisoned in a pig cage.

I was accidentally mistaken for Bone Heart before, and this kind of luck would never happen again.

"The fisherman answered too eagerly." This was the reason for Tan Mo's suspicion. Before he had finished asking, the fisherman answered in a hurry.

This kind of psychological state is usually caused by the eagerness to separate the relationship.

However, he did not have the experience of Master Lotus, so he only had doubts and did not make a more appropriate judgment.

Tan Mo began to chant sutras.

Such a mantra.

The pattern in his eyes kept showing that Guanquan and this scripture would give him a 99% success rate and become a member of the Nine Mysteries.

After reading the scriptures several times, Tan Mo got up and practiced boxing.

The highest state of Guanshiyin is Guanshiyin, and practicing Bodhisattva Quan is something Tan Mo cannot achieve. His boxing skills are very rigid, one move after another, and he only follows the sequence of movements.

If you want to master your boxing skills from the heart, you can only practice more, practice makes perfect, and then use your brain more in actual combat to remain unchanged in response to changes.

When Master Lianhua came back, Tan Mo had just finished practicing Guan Quan. He couldn't help but nodded slightly, but he didn't praise Tan Mo. He just said, "Come with me, I know who the person who died is."

"Senior brother, who is it?" Tan Mo asked directly.

"This man's name is Lin Shoutian. He is not a big shot. It's just that he has a sister who is an anti-king wife. Because he felt that he was not good at leading troops in war, he abandoned his subordinates after making a big mistake. , ran to Ningjia County to hide, trying to escape the punishment of his brother-in-law. "

"After his brother-in-law found out, he didn't pursue him for the sake of his sister, and let him live in peace in Ningjia County. Lin Shoutian didn't look good, he was old, and he was lame, but he wanted to find a young and beautiful wife, so he found a matchmaker and asked her to find a marriage for him."

"The matchmaker was also in a dilemma. Lin Shoutian's requirements were not low. Most people would definitely not like him, but those good families would never let their daughters fall into the fire pit. In the end, they found him a divorced woman from another place. Oh, by the way, divorce is a new term, which roughly means being divorced." Master Lianhua said this, as if he was afraid that Tan Mo didn't understand, so he explained it specially.

Tan Mo nodded with a wooden face.

Master Lianhua continued, "Although he was divorced once, the woman was beautiful and eloquent. After only two meetings, Lin Shoutian was already heartbroken and talked about her every day. After the woman agreed, Lin Shoutian began to arrange the marriage, and then... Lin Shoutian died."

"Lin Shoutian's body was found in the next town, but only half of it. Because it was found in the river, the constables searched upstream along the water to find the other half."

When Master Lianhua said this, Tan Mo said without hesitation, "Brother, do you suspect that the fisherman was responsible for the fact that half of Lin Shoutian's body was missing?"

This was in line with Master Lianhua's previous speculation about the fisherman.

Master Lianhua shook his head.

"Who is that?"

"We'll know tonight."

Seeing that Master Lianhua was being mysterious, Tan Mo didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Brother, do you suspect that the one who killed Lin Shoutian was the beautiful woman who was divorced once?"

If not, Master Lianhua wouldn't have to describe the woman so much.

This time Master Lianhua nodded.

Tan Mo had nothing to ask, so he didn't say anything else, and quietly followed Master Lianhua. Then he found that Master Lianhua went straight to a family and asked them to buy a chicken.

Although the family was surprised that a monk bought a chicken, they didn't ask much because Master Lianhua was in person, and they asked enthusiastically if they wanted to help slaughter the chicken.

Master Lianhua shook his head and took Tan Mo to a wasteland outside the town. There were still traces of fields in this place, but the land was too barren, and everything that was planted died, so it was abandoned.

On this wasteland, you can see a large area of ​​dead weeds, and even the living weeds have black roots, stems and leaves.

It's like poisoning.

By the time Master Lianhua stopped, the sky was already a little dark.

Then, Tan Mo saw two broken stone statues.

The two stone statues were lying on a small earthen slope. The earthen slope had some distinct traces of layers, which seemed to have been a step, or a large tomb. Because the two stone statues were too broken, it was no longer possible to tell what they were carved on, but it was still clear that there was a word on each of the two stone statues, "Liang" and "Zhu".

Even though the stone statues were eroded by wind and rain and the traces of years were all over the stone statues, the two words were still clear.

Master Lianhua placed the chicken between the two stone statues, and with just a flick of his finger, the chicken's neck was broken, and a faint bloody smell spread.

"Cluck, cluck."

After a few calls, the chicken stopped flapping.

Master Lianhua stretched out his hand, put two fingers together, and drew a few times.

There was actually a faint green gas, floating up and down on the fingertips of Master Lianhua, like a small green snake, moving up and down, very strange.

Then, with a loud cracking sound, the earth slope under his feet shook violently, and a big crack appeared in the middle.

A foul smelling wind blew out from the crack.

Tan Mo didn't stand firmly and almost fell in. Fortunately, Master Lianhua caught him quickly and retreated quickly. The whole person was like a swallow, carrying Tan Mo far away before landing.

Then, Tan Mo heard the voices of a man and a woman coming from the crack.

"Who are you, offering again?"

"If you have something to ask for, human life as a sacrifice!"
