On the surface, the assassins in the Iron Buddha Temple were colluding with internal and external forces to assassinate Chen Chang. Although the assassins were executed this time, they did not leave any clues.
Although Liu Ming, Zhou Hong and others bravely defeated the three armies, their skills were only on the battlefield where the two armies faced each other. As for assassination, Ning Jingrong was better at it.
In her opinion, the two great monks Xukong and Xuyun must have known about the assassins' internal operations in the Tiefo Temple, but these two cunning guys had not expressed anything before.
If Chen Chang hadn't come to the Iron Buddha Temple, I'm afraid the two great monks would have remained silent.
The arrival of Chen Chang gave them a good opportunity to kill people with a borrowed knife.
It is said that Buddhism is compassionate, but it also depends on who it is towards.
Chen Chang was drugged in the dormitory.
But Ning Jingrong was fine. What she did was for others to see.
As a killer, how could he easily fall into someone else's trap?
Thinking of the macaque that suddenly appeared in the back window of the dormitory, Ning Jingrong made a bold guess about what happened in Tiefo Temple that day:
It was a temporary decision for Chen Chang to go to Tiefo Temple.
However, the assassin's spy has long been in the Iron Buddha Temple, but his purpose is unknown.
Insiders should be familiar with the secret passages of Iron Buddha Temple, and lead outside companions into the secret passages in advance to stand by.
Their plan was to take advantage of the fire in the kitchen and kill Chen Chang in the chaos.
As for the incense that Chen Chang picked up, it probably has nothing to do with the assassins.
I heard Liu Ming mention that when they went to Void's dormitory, they saw the yellow dog lying prone on the ground, seemingly sleeping.
A dog, no matter how old or infirm it is, will still maintain its natural instinct.
If you were not in extreme physical discomfort, you would definitely not remain indifferent when facing so many strangers. This is contrary to common sense.
A more reasonable explanation is that this big yellow dog was also drugged.
Xu Yun was forced by the assassin to not tell the truth to Liu Ming and others, but if the assassin had dealt with Xu Yun, he could have killed the big yellow dog with one blow and then dragged it to a hidden place to deal with it.
The method of using medicine is not impossible, but the results are very slow.
The killer may not have that time. Besides, not all dogs will eat food given by strangers.
Ning Jingrong would never believe that Master Xuyun raised a dog that ate the master's dog today and the west's dog tomorrow.
In this way, the person who administered the medicine is almost ready to come out——
People from Tiefo Temple, and most likely Master Xu Yun himself.
But why did he have to charm the dog?
If you want to clear the way for the assassin, you can tie the big yellow dog somewhere else, and you won't have to go through such trouble.
This question was one that Ning Jingrong was puzzled about at the time.
Until she accidentally discovered the macaque sneaking up on the back window of the dormitory.
The macaque did not completely enter the dormitory, but Ning Jingrong felt something strange as soon as the little beast appeared.
Her sense of smell is naturally very sensitive, and after special training, it is dozens of times better than ordinary people.
She can smell smells that ordinary people can't smell.
The macaques probably sprinkled some colorless and odorless powder into the dormitory. The powder was so fine that it was invisible even if it was sprinkled into the air.
But this could not be hidden from Ning Jingrong. Afterwards, when no one was in the dormitory, she climbed to the back window and took a look. In addition to two very unclear paw prints, there were also some powder particles. If she had not deliberately looked at it, there would be no trace of it at all.
Will not be discovered.
Ning Jingrong quickly deduced that these powders were not toxic.
But this does not mean that the powder is useless, otherwise the little beast would not appear at the rear window.
Ning Jingrong thought about it carefully, fearing that it was the effect of this powder on Chen Chang's diet that caused the coma.
In other words, there is something in Chen Chang's food that, under the influence of the powder, undergoes a series of transformations in the human body and eventually turns into a drug.
It's just a drug, it doesn't pose a threat to people's lives.
This is nothing to Ning Jingrong, who is familiar with all kinds of poisons.
From this point of view, the owner of this macaque does not want to harm Chen Chang, but just wants to charm him.
Later, Master Xuyun diagnosed and treated Chen Chang, and even Master Xuyun personally took action and taught Chen Chang ways to strengthen his body. This made Ning Jingrong more confident in his speculation.
I remember the eye contact between the two when Master Xuyun left the room that day.
Ning Jingrong became more and more certain.
Chen Chang was intoxicated by the incense and had enough reasons to stay in the Iron Buddha Temple.
Master Void can then diagnose and treat him openly.
The reason why the big yellow dog is stunned is to allow the little macaque to move freely.
Although the two beasts both obeyed Master Xuyun, their relationship did not seem to be harmonious.
Ning Jingrong has raised some animals before and knows their temperaments very well.
What Ning Jingrong can be sure of is that Chen Chang and the two great monks must have discussed something secretly.
That day, Zhou Hong and other guards were guarding the door, so she had no chance to eavesdrop.
However, Hou Andu and Liu Ming must have been kept in the dark about this matter.
This afternoon, Chen Chang suddenly said that he was going to set off, which caught Hou And off guard.
Even Cai Daye of Houliang Dynasty was like this. He hurriedly sent people on flying horses to report to His Majesty the Emperor Xiao Qi.
Xiao Jin specially sent Cai Dabao to Tiefo Temple to see him off, and he was sent to the dock.
The monarchs and ministers of Houliang were really tortured.
Before setting off, Chen Chang originally wanted to say goodbye with Master Xuyun, but he only saw Xuyun alone, while Xuyun avoided seeing him, which was very different from the warm atmosphere of the previous few days.
Moreover, Ning Jingrong discovered that seven or eight monks with martial arts skills in Tiefo Temple disappeared almost at the same time.
These monks did not deliberately use Kung Fu even on the day the assassin assassinated Chen Chang. What were they hiding?
Why did it suddenly disappear again?
As the big boat sailed on the river, Ning Jingrong always felt that there were many eyes staring at them in the dark...
"Miss Ning, it's windy on the deck, why didn't you accompany His Highness in the cabin?"
Hou An didn't even know when he came over.
Ning Jingrong saw Li and said, "The cabin is too stuffy. I want to come out for some air."
Hou Andu nodded: "What plans does the girl have after arriving in Jiankang?
This was probably to test me. Ning Jingrong shook his head and said: "I am like a rootless duckweed, what can I plan to do?"
Hou Andu smiled faintly: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty and Your Majesty are close friends of life and death, and I will definitely not treat you badly."
Ning Jingrong also smiled faintly: "I don't dare to ask for so much. Living in troubled times, it is not easy to survive. Lord Sikong, what do you think?"
Hou Andu laughed loudly: "Why did you say this, girl? When you get to Jiankang, there will be great glory and wealth waiting for you!"
"Really?"
"I promise! Hahahaha..."
