Wait a minute, heroine

Deep inside Xixia Temple, in a Buddhist hall.

It is a pure place of Buddhism. Although there are many pilgrims outside, there is no noise inside. There are only two bald young monks sitting in front of the gilded Buddha statue, knocking on the small wooden fish.

Boom~boom~boom...

In the side hall room, Master Huineng, dressed in cassock, sat cross-legged beside the tea table, with his two white eyebrows drooping down, showing kindness from inside to outside, and asked softly:

"Almsgiver Hua, have you calmed down?"

There is very little mist on the tea table.

Hua Junchen was wearing a scholar's robe, sitting upright on the futon, closing his eyes and listening to the rhythm of the wooden fish. After a long silence, he opened his eyes and sighed:

"Oh, I still can't calm down. Ever since I set out for Beijing, I feel like I've encountered something dirty, something so close and lingering that I can't find the problem..."

Master Huineng is a monk who has studied in Qianfo Temple. He does have the air of a worldly master. He said calmly:

"If you can't find it around, it's because of inner demons. Donor Hua has been suffering from a knot in his heart recently, and it hasn't been resolved yet?"

Hua Junchen has a cheerful and casual personality, and he comes from a noble family, so it is difficult for him to encounter unpleasant things. To say that he is depressed, I am afraid that he wanted his daughter to be a heroine, but as a result, her legs suffered from hidden diseases. He thought about it for a moment:

"Master, what you mean is that the problem lies with Qingzhi?"

This was not the first time that Master Huineng and Hua Junchen had dealt with each other. They both understood the situation. Seeing this, he nodded and said:

"That's it. Have there been any disagreements between Hua Donor and Qianjin recently? For example, what Hua Donor wants to do is something that Gui Qianjin wants to do, but Hua Donor doesn't want to allow it, but out of guilt at the time, he can't allow it?"

Hua Junchen touched his chin and thought for a moment: "Well... that's true. Qingzhi came back from the Southern Dynasties and seems to have been obsessed with someone in the Southern Dynasties. After I became a famous family in Daliang, I was really in a dilemma."

Master Huineng sighed: "Fate is determined by heaven and cannot come or go by anyone. If Master Hua wants his six roots to be pure, he must learn to let go..."

Hua Junchen felt like he didn't even pick it up.

The King of Hell has really fallen in love with his daughter, what will he do if he doesn't let her go?

After hearing Master Huineng talking for a long time, Hua Junchen shook his head and said:

"I feel like the problem is not caused by inner demons. There are really dirty things around me. How about Master making a spell for me to try? Or draw a talisman and I'll take it with me..."

"Drawing talismans is a Taoist method, and the poor monk can do it, but if you draw it, the Taoist ancestors may not recognize the poor monk as an outsider."

"Then do a ritual and recite a few scriptures. It's hard work."

"Alas~"

Master Huineng saw that Hua Junchen was indeed suspicious, so he stood up, circled around the tea table, twirled his rosary beads with his fingers, and began to recite scriptures.

Dong dong dong~

Hua Junchen listened to the sound of wooden fish and the scriptures surrounding his ears. He slowly closed his eyes and carefully felt the silent world, hoping to calm down his heart.

But before he was completely in meditation, his ears twitched, and he heard something strange in the mountains and forests outside the temple:

Whoosh~

Hua Junchen had a good foundation and could hear the sound of a hidden weapon breaking through the air. He immediately frowned and looked towards the back of the temple.

Seeing this, Master Huineng stopped chanting and asked softly:

"Almsgiver Hua still can't calm down?"

Hua Junchen noticed something suspicious outside the temple. How could he calm down? He stood up and jumped out of the window:

"It seems like someone is causing trouble outside the temple. I'll go take a look."

Xixia Temple is a large and popular temple around the capital. There are many thieves who sneak into the temple. Master Huineng would turn a blind eye to these as long as he does not go too far.

But Hua Junchen's status was unusual. If he ran out to help catch the thief, Xixia Temple would definitely bear the responsibility. So he turned around and gave the order:

"Fa Xin, go to the town and ask the official to come and take a look."

"Okay abbot..."

…

——

There are many pilgrims at Xixia Temple, and there are many wealthy families outing in the countryside. The government cannot ignore the security aspect. There are always patrols in the town and countryside to prevent fights or petty theft.

But the woods behind the temple are barren mountains and ridges with no roads, so naturally no one would go anywhere.

Hua Junchen came out of the Buddhist hall and jumped up the wall, wanting to go to the back mountain to have a look. When he lowered his head, he saw his daughter sitting on the lawn outside the wall, sketching a picture of a beautiful man.

Hua An stood in front of the painting desk holding a folding fan, seemingly untouched from beginning to end, while Hua Ning and Lv Zhu watched intently from behind their wheelchairs.

Hua Junchen wanted to run quietly from behind to the woods, but he never thought that just as he turned around and took a few steps, his daughter's voice came from behind:

"Dad? Where are you going?"

Hua Qingzhi was painting and didn't notice anything strange. It wasn't until Ye Jingtang, who was motionless, suddenly looked back that she noticed her father's sneaky traces, and her eyes showed a hint of suspicion.

Hua Junchen froze when he heard this. He was afraid that his daughter would talk about him again, so he said casually:

"Go get something from the car while you're busy."

After saying that, he pretended to disappear naturally around the corner of the wall.

Hua Qingzhi naturally felt strange when she saw this, and turned to look at the Night Terror Hall.

Ye Jingtang's six senses were sharp, and he also heard the strange movements in the woods, and knew that Yunli and Qinghe were doing something.

Just by listening to the noise, he knew that Qinghe Yunli could handle it. He didn't want to make an excuse to run over, but when he discovered that Uncle Hua had gone there, he was afraid of misunderstanding, so he turned around and pushed the wheelchair:

"Let's go and take a look..."

…

Hua Junchen noticed that the commotion in the woods was gradually intensifying, and he didn't care about the situation behind him. When he arrived near the forest, he jumped over many carriages and jumped into the forest.

Boo hoo hoo…

Dangdang——

As the distance got closer, the sound of gold and iron clashing came from the depths of the forest. The movement became louder and louder, and the shouts of men and women could even be heard.

Hua Junchen felt that the strength of the person he was fighting was unusual just from the movement. He lowered his voice, slowed down a bit, and moved forward cautiously.

But as soon as he saw a figure flashing deep in the woods, the movement suddenly stopped, and the woods returned to deathly silence.

"..."

Hua Junchen paused slightly and held the hilt of the sword at his waist. After making sure that there was no danger, he carefully walked through the dense jungle. As soon as he saw the messy battlefield in the forest, he gasped.

In the woods with flying branches and leaves, several trees were cut off, and countless corpses were torn apart, either hanging on the branches of trees or pressed under the trunks. Almost none of them were intact. There were countless corpses on wooden piles and on the ground. Traces of flying needles and poisonous powder.

Even though Hua Junchen has been practicing martial arts for many years, he has never seen such a tragic scene a few times. His heart beat a few times faster. Just as he was about to check for clues around him, he suddenly heard a 'crash~' sound, and then someone held his ankle!

? !

Choking——

Hua Junchen was caught off guard, half of his three souls and seven souls were scared away. The sword he was holding subconsciously unsheathed and slashed downwards. The result was:

boom--

The half of the body that was pressed under the tree trunk was cut in half. The time was too short and it was not completely dead. Instinctively, I grabbed the legs that were walking in front of me.

At this time, a sword was swept down, and the upper body and the tree trunk were torn apart in an instant. Even the soil was washed out by the sword energy and a long groove was created, exploding blood mist directly on the spot.

Hua Junchen was spattered with blood, but he didn't care. He flew out and landed on a pine tree a few feet away. He held a sword in his right hand and fingered the sword with his left hand. He carefully scanned the left and right sides to confirm that it was just a fake corpse, and then slowed down. He came over and took a breath, and quickly kicked off the severed hand that was still holding on to his ankle.

And just as Hua Junchen was busy working, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Chachacha~

Hua Junchen was already nervous. When he heard the noise, he turned behind him with his sword in hand. He looked warily at the figures flashing in the woods and said coldly:

"Who is this?"

As a result, a response came immediately from the woods:

"father?"

"?!"

Hua Junchen's alert expression froze and he quickly said:

"Don't come here yet! This place is dangerous..."

In the woods, Hua Qingzhi was sitting in a wheelchair, being carried by Ye Jingtang, while Hua Ning was wielding a knife in front, cutting off the shrubs and vines blocking the road.

Hearing her father's tone as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Hua Qingzhi could not rest assured. Without letting everyone stop, she walked through the jungle in an instant, only to see an almost bloody and terrifying scene.

I saw a forest full of broken trees, scattered with countless blood stains and broken corpses, and it was impossible to identify a complete person.

The father, who was originally wearing a plain robe, was standing on a fallen pine tree with a sword in one hand. His whole body was covered with blood spots, and blood was dripping from the three-foot green blade. He was looking around as if facing a powerful enemy. .

"ah--!"

"master!"

"Miss Protection..."

Hua Qingzhi and Lu Zhufang exclaimed when they saw this hell-like scene on earth.

When Hua Ning saw Hua Junchen covered in blood, he was half frightened. He quickly drew his sword and stood in front of the young lady, and looked around in a guarding manner:

"Master, are you okay? Who are these people? Is there an ambush?"

Hua Junchen was afraid that someone would come out and attack him, so he flew down in front of his daughter and said coldly:

"I don't know how many people there are. Others should have left."

"You are so brave. Under the emperor's feet, you dare to assassinate members of my Hua family. Fortunately, I am very skilled in martial arts..."

?

Hua Junchen was originally on the alert and wanted the guards to call the officers to come over. Hearing Hua Ning's words, he was slightly startled, and then his eyes turned into astonishment, and he quickly put away his sword:

"Hey! I didn't kill this person. I just came here and he died before he arrived..."

"..."

The guards, who had been facing a formidable enemy, suddenly became quiet after hearing these words. They all looked at Hua Junchen, who was covered in blood. Their eyes looked strange even in Night Jingtang.

After all, Hua Junchen's sword was obviously stained with blood, there were bloody handprints on his legs, and there was such a big sword mark on the ground. Even Hua Qingzhi could tell that Hua Junchen had clearly moved his hands just now after removing a groove on the ground.

Hua Qingzhi thought that Nifu was afraid of being scolded and did not dare to admit it. At this time, she said seriously:

"Dad, it's not a trivial matter for you to be ambushed. Who are these people?"

"I……"

Hua Junchen was confused, spread his hands and said:

"I really didn't kill this man. I just heard the noise and ran over to take a look. I never thought..."

"Didn't you think it was a trick to lure the enemy and set an ambush for you here?"

"No! The person who came here for his father will die..."

"After you died, you were covered in blood? There were also bloody fingerprints on your legs..."

"I……"

…

Ye Jingtang knew that it was not Uncle Hua who had done it, but it was definitely Uncle Hua who had done the final deal, so it was not unfair.

He just heard that Yun Li was probably injured. It seemed that the situation was not serious at this time, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He scanned the woods and found that there were no signs of the Qinglong Society left around. He was afraid that the job would be in vain, so he took advantage of the father-daughter debate. During his free time, he quietly moved to the pine tree behind him, took out the tool knife from his back, and secretly carved words on the tree trunk.

Hua Junchen explained for a long time, but his daughter just didn't believe it and insisted on asking him to explain what he had just been in danger.

Hua Junchen had no choice but to let the guards comment, but in a blink of an eye he glanced at Hua Ning and Hua An beside him, and suddenly realized that something was wrong!

Seven horse thieves died unexpectedly, and Hua Ning and Hua An were right in front of them...

The skinned scholar suddenly died for no apparent reason, and Hua Ning and Hua An were also there...

Suddenly five more corpses appeared, and Hua Ning and Hua An were still in front of them...

That dirty thing around...

?

Thinking of this, Hua Junchen's eyes suddenly turned cold and he looked at Hua Ning.

But the elm bumps that had been used as sandbags since childhood should not be hidden so deeply, so he looked at Hua An, who had just arrived in Washington, with a majestic expression on his face and shouted in a deep voice:

"Hua An, you secretly killed these people?!"

"...?"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding escort girls were shocked!

Ye Jingtang was writing the words upside down, with an inexplicable look in his eyes:

"ah???"

Hua Qingzhi also raised her eyebrows when she heard this. After all, it was Ye Jingtang who did it the first two times, but what does it have to do with Ye Jingtang this time? She said angrily:

"Dad! Hua An just carried me all the way here in a wheelchair. Hua Ning and the others were watching. Why did they come here to kill people? Even if you don't want to admit it, you shouldn't blame the guards for the incident..."

Hua Ning couldn't stand it any longer and interjected: "Yes, Hua An has been here all the time, saying that he came secretly to kill people. I really don't believe it."

"..."

Hua Junchen blinked and felt that it was true. Hua An had been in front of Qingzhi all the time. It was indeed a bit unreasonable to suspect that Hua An came to kill people secretly.

So who is this dirty thing?

After Hua Junchen was dispelled by the irrefutable evidence of Ye Jingtang's alibi, he was a little confused. He looked around and then ordered:

"Hurry up and call the officials to come over and check the identities of these people first..."

Ye Jingtang didn't say much when he saw this, and together with the guards, carefully rummaged through the bodies on the ground.

Luzhu was afraid that the young lady would have nightmares after seeing the bloody scene, so she came to the front of the wheelchair to block it. As a result, when she turned around, she saw writings on the pine tree behind:

"Eh? Master, there are words carved on this tree!"

Hua Junchen's head was filled with questions. After hearing this, he quickly turned around and came to the pine tree, looking at the crooked writing on the trunk:

"Master Yuefeng... Qingfeng pointed at Yunyanluo! It's someone from the Qinglong Society. Did you see that it was the Qinglong Society who made a move? I said it had nothing to do with me, but you still don't believe it..."

When Hua Qingzhi saw the handwriting, her suspicions were a little dispelled, but seeing her father covered in blood, she still didn't believe that her father was innocent.

And Hua Qingzhi is obviously not the only one who has this idea!

———

Soon after, the sun set in the west.

A murder occurred in the back mountain. In order to prevent the pilgrims coming from wealthy families from being frightened, the incident was not widely publicized. However, many officials sealed off the back of the temple in time and led hounds back and forth in the forest, searching for any clues.

In the messy woods, five pieces of white cloth covered the body that was finally put together.

More than a dozen police officers stood around the corpse, either touching their chins or crossing their arms across their chests. Their eyes were filled with deep thoughts, and they occasionally glanced at their boss and Mr. Hua not far away.

And Xue Baihu, who was on duty in Shiliping today, had an official sword hanging on his waist, stood by the pine tree with his hands behind his back, and carefully read the writing on the tree:

"Mr. Hua said that when he was discussing Taoism with Zen Master Huineng, he heard unusual noises. When he ran over, these five people were already dead?"

Hua Junchen stood nearby and felt that everyone was looking at him in the wrong way, but he still nodded and said:

"That's right. As soon as I arrived, the killer of the Qinglong Society left. I didn't see anything."

Xue Baihu looked like he was about to speak but hesitated. He turned his head and looked at the blood spots on Hua Junchen's robe and the bloody fingerprints on his trouser legs. His eyes probably meant:

Does Mr. Hua think Xue is mentally retarded?

Hua Junchen felt like yellow mud stuck to his crotch. He couldn't explain why, but he still explained seriously:

"I just came over, and these people were not completely dead. There was a corpse that had been chopped in half and grabbed my ankles. I was frightened, so I casually struck with a sword..."

Xue Baihu turned his head to look at the 'two feet long' sword mark on the ground, and nodded slightly:

"Mr. Hua's casual sword strike is quite powerful..."

Hua Junchen was a little annoyed when he saw this, spread his hands and said:

"I don't know these people. Does Xue Baihu think I killed them?"

Xue Baihu was slapped in the face with evidence, why didn't he think Hua Junchen was the one who killed him? He sighed and turned to look at the body on the ground:

"These people are the "Five Monsters of Snake Peak" who are wanted by the twelve most wanted gangs. It is a good thing to kill them. The Skinned Scholar is a tough bandit in the Southern Dynasties and has done all kinds of evil. It is also a good thing to kill him..."

Hua Junchen stood up a little straighter: "Xue Baihu! I know he did good things to eliminate harm for the people, but I didn't kill these two people. They were killed by the Qinglong Society. There is writing on this..."

"Hey, Xue looked at yesterday's handwriting, and it does look like the handwriting of the Qinglong Society. But the handwriting..."

Xue Baihu didn't say it clearly, but everyone present was a martial artist, and they understood the meaning - the Qinglong Society is a wealthy sect after all, and when it comes to doing things, the handwriting is so ugly, it is better not to write it, and just nail a flying knife with the family emblem.

This was obviously something that was secretly carved in a hurry after being discovered and framed on the Blue Dragon Society. This is also consistent with the timely arrival of the servants.

Xue Baihu didn't believe that Hua Junchen was secretly doing chivalry and justice yesterday, but today he really suspected that Hua Junchen was under strict control at home and did good deeds here without leaving his name.

Eradicating the wanted criminals, no matter who kills them, is a good thing for the Twelve Institutions to reap the benefits.

Xue Baihu wanted Hua Junchen to admit quietly so that he could go back and close the case, but due to his lower status, it was difficult to say this.

Just as the two people were clearly hinting at the pull, there was another movement outside the woods.

Ye Jingtang has been standing by Hua Qingzhi's side. He heard the sound of footsteps in the distance while watching a play. He looked back at random and found four young eunuchs carrying a soft couch coming from outside the forest. Behind them There are also dozens of officers in uniforms.

Sitting on the carved soft couch was a eunuch wearing a bright blue robe. He was about forty years old, wearing a gauze hat on his head, and his arm resting on Fu Chen. He looked gloomy. He walked forward with a serious smile and glanced at the forest. There are clues.

Ye Jingtang didn't pay much attention at first, but when he saw the eunuch's appearance clearly, his eyes changed slightly.

Although he didn't know the name of this eunuch, looking at his face, he was obviously one of the three eunuchs he met at Tianlang Lake last time. Although the last fight was very fast, the twelve servants had all practiced the Ming Shen Tu, so they must have seen it. his face,

Ye Jingtang didn't know how exaggerated Ming Shen Tu's perception was. To prevent his identity from being exposed, he quietly turned around and lowered his head to Hua Qingzhi's ear:

"Let's go, someone is coming...?!"

The words stopped abruptly.

Hua Qingzhi was sitting in a wheelchair, watching her father communicate with hundreds of households in the Twelve Houses, when she suddenly heard words coming from her ears, and subconsciously turned around, only to find that her cheek touched something very warm.

This feeling has never been touched before, just like being stung by a bee in spring. Even if the other party takes time, the touch is still obvious, penetrating directly from the skin to the bottom of the heart.

! !

Hua Qingzhi's body froze slightly, and she looked at the handsome face close at hand. Her red lips were slightly opened, her face was also stained with fire, and she was a little panicked and helpless.

Ye Jingtang's expression was also a little stiff. He paid full attention to the eunuch approaching from behind. He really didn't expect Hua Qingzhi to come. He opened his mouth. Under the unfavorable situation, he could only look behind him first.

"..."

Hua Qingzhi's mind seemed to be blank. She pursed her lips and was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing. She lowered her head, took a deep breath to suppress distracting thoughts, and then said to Hua Junchen not far away:

"Dad, it's getting dark soon. I'm going back to the temple first."

Hua Junchen, who was trying to think of ways to explain, remembered that his daughter was afraid and quickly ordered:

"Hua'an Huaning, please send the young lady back. Oh! Eunuch Xu, why are you here too..."

Eunuch Xu, who came in a chariot, had met each other at Tianlang Lake and Night Jing Hall, but he obviously did not expect that the murderous god of the Southern Dynasty was actually at the emperor's feet, standing in the pine forest a few feet away.

After the cavalry arrived at the scene of the crime, Eunuch Xu walked down and nodded to Hua Junchen who came over to greet him politely:

"The Holy One congratulated the Queen Mother on her birthday and built a garden in Bishui Forest. The construction period is a bit slow. During these days, my family and the above have taken turns supervising the work there. When I heard the news, I came over..."

Ye Jingtang pushed his wheelchair, cleverly covering his figure with pine trees and green beads, and passed by not far away from Eunuch Xu. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the conversation, his heart moved slightly. He felt that there must be something hidden in Bishui Forest. Something else, otherwise the Twelve Waiters would not be sent as supervisors.

At this moment, Hua Qingzhi obviously had no intention of caring about her father anymore. She put her legs together and put her hands on her legs. Her eyes flickered. She wanted to touch her right cheek, but she was afraid that Ye Jingtang would notice it. He took action, just bowed his head and left the forest without saying a word.

And at the crime scene behind.

Hua Junchen knew that all the twelve servants had practiced the Ming Shen Tu, and their six senses were far beyond ordinary people. When he saw Eunuch Xu, he quickly said:

"I really didn't kill these people. Eunuch Xu has a keen eye. Take a closer look and explain it to me."

Eunuch Xu did have some skills. He just glanced at the direction where the blood spots on Hua Junchen's body were splashed, and then slowly came to the place where Hua Junchen was standing just now, which is where the sword marks started:

"If we read it correctly, someone should have been crushed under the tree trunk just now. He grabbed Mr. Hua's ankle. Mr. Hua took advantage of the situation and used his sword to kill him on the spot..."

"My father-in-law has good eyesight!"

"As expected..."

The guards present all nodded, and when they saw Eunuch Xu confirmed the murderer, they looked at Hua Junchen with a little more admiration in their eyes.

Hua Junchen, on the other hand, was completely confused and waved his hands quickly:

"No! It's half a person buried under here, not just one. His legs are hanging on the tree, so he's considered dead. At most, I'll cut off the body, and Eunuch Xu will take a closer look..."

Even if Eunuch Xu has practiced Ming Shen Tu, his six senses are only sharp and cannot change his innate understanding.

He relied on the imperial court's use of secret medicines and Mingshen diagrams to achieve his current level of high-level miscellaneous fish. Let him see this messy crime scene. How could he be able to figure out all the details of the fight like Ye Jingtang, and even Through the traces, the height of the murderer can be determined.

Eunuch Xu looked around for a moment, only to see that this was probably not the work of one person. After all, with Hua Junchen's swordsmanship, killing the five snake peak monsters was just a face-to-face encounter, and there was no need to fight so hard.

The only ones who died were a few low-level wanted criminals. Even if they were killed by Qinglonghui, it would not be a big deal. Eunuch Xu did not waste his brain on these trivial matters and said:

"Let's assume that Qinglong will kill him. Mr. Hua arrived in time and solved the fish that slipped through the net. It is also a great achievement..."

What does it mean to assume that Qinglong will kill?

Hua Junchen felt that these words were still praising him, and he insisted on giving him some credit, but what Eunuch Xu said was true. He killed half a person, so it was a bit difficult to completely clear his name, so he could only say:

"Qinglong will kill him. I just sensed something was wrong and saw him, so I chopped off half of the body that was still alive. When Eunuch Xu goes back, just write this on the case file, but don't write too much..."

"Our family understands, just don't worry, Mr. Hua."

"..."

Hua Junchen opened his mouth, wanting to say, 'You know a hammer! ’ But these words were obviously inappropriate, so I could only nod my head...

Thank you to Mr. [Liu Liu Crazy] for the 10,000 reward!
