The news brought by the ghost made all the red-clad messengers of the Night Watch stunned.
When we parted ways in the morning, Monk Daoming was still fine, talking and laughing. Why did he die in the evening?
After Qin Qiaoer looked at Qin Shaoyou, he frowned slightly and said, "Daoist Master Su, please help me ask him when and how Monk Daoming died. Also, who was he.
"
"I didn't ask to quit."
Su Jianqing nodded and chatted with the ghost in ghost language.
After a while, she relayed the question to everyone:
"This ghost, whose name was Xu San during his lifetime, was from Xiahe Village, Linquan Town, on the Qingtang Guard side. His village was looted by a small group of Qingtang troops, and he was forced to leave his home to escape the war.
As a result, as soon as they escaped to Xinglong Mansion, they encountered rogue bandits. They not only robbed them of all their money and food, but also drove them away with swords and guns, attacking and clinging to the village walls.
Xu San didn't want to, so he was hacked to death by the bandits and his body was abandoned in the wild. If he hadn't met Monk Daoming later, he would have been buried in the bellies of wild dogs and crows.
It was Monk Mingdao who helped him chant sutras to achieve salvation, burned his body to ashes, and promised to send him back to Xiahe Village for burial..."
When everyone heard this, they understood.
If this ghost is not lying, then he is a bag of ashes on the cart pushed by Monk Daoming.
This ghost named Xu San, after Monk Dao Ming died, was grateful for Monk Dao Ming's kindness, so he came all the way to look for them and asked them to help Monk Dao Ming collect his body.
Judging from Xu San's weak and haggard appearance, he must have floated out of the ashes during the day and endured the burning sun to look for them.
Xu Sangang turned into a ghost not long ago, and he was far from being afraid of the sun. Unlike Qiurong, he had a ghost umbrella to help shade him.
He held onto the sun to look for everyone. Although he hadn't been burned to death yet, he was still not far away.
Qin Shaoyou's [Bright Eyes] had already seen that Xu San's soul was beginning to show signs of disintegration.
Cui Yougui, Su Tingyu and other Taoist priests from Jade Emperor Temple also discovered this situation and cast spells to help Xu San stabilize his soul.
Su Jianqing and Qiurong each also gave Xu San a ghost energy.
At the same time, Su Jianqing continued to relay Xu San's words: "He said that Monk Daoming was killed by a group of bandits at the end of this afternoon."
"The bandit killed Monk Daoming? This shouldn't be done."
Qin Shaoyou frowned.
Last night, he talked about this matter with Monk Dao Ming, and learned from Monk Dao Ming that the thieves and bandits operating in nearby counties and towns had heard of Monk Dao Ming and knew that he was a penniless poor monk.
I know that he is helping the deceased to be saved and buried.
Therefore, these thieves and bandits will not take the idea of Mingdao monks.
This is partly because I admire Monk Daoming, but also because I don’t want to waste time and energy on a poor monk.
In addition, these thieves and bandits also thought that if they died one day, Monk Daoming would be around to help him save them.
Even if you can't wash away all your sins, it's still good if you can get some chances to reduce your sentence when you're being tortured in hell.
Zhu Xiucai had heard the chat between Qin Shaoyou and Monk Daoming, so he knew what Qin Shaoyou was confused about.
After thinking about it, he came up with a few guesses: "Could that group of bandits come from somewhere else and have never heard of Monk Daoming? Or maybe they are not ordinary bandits, but accepted the invitation from Qingtang.
Are you specifically here to kill people, steal goods, and cause destruction here in Xinglong Mansion?"
The possibility of these speculations is not impossible, but there is still a problem.
"Didn't Senior Brother Tuhuang give Monk Daoming the amulet? Why didn't he save his life?" Qin Shaoyou said with a frown.
The amulets Taoist Tuhuang gave to Monk Daoming were not one or two, but a stack, and each amulet could be effective at least two or three times. It could not only block the knife, but also escape.
Is it possible that the bandits are not only large in number, but also insist on chasing and killing Monk Daoming? Even if Monk Daoming escapes to another place under the protection of the amulet, as soon as he appears, they will immediately chase him and attack him until he is alive.
Use up all the amulets carried by Monk Daoming?
Why are rogues so boring?
Or is it that there is a deep hatred between them and Monk Dao Ming, and Monk Dao Ming must die?
Su Jianqing was also confused about this situation, so she used ghost language to communicate with Xu San without Qin Shaoyou opening his mouth.
After a while, Su Jianqing translated and relayed: "Xu San said that Monk Daoming met a group of refugees on the road. Seeing their pity, he distributed all the amulets given to him by Brother Tuhuang to the women, children and injured people among the refugees.
."
"He gave away all those amulets to others? Not even one was left for himself?" Tu Huang looked stunned, "It's even more wasteful than Senior Brother Cui!"
"Um?"
Cui Youying, who was suddenly called, had a look of shock and confusion on his face, his expression resembled that of the dead eunuch in the Ninth Grade Sesame Official.
It's a pity that no one paid attention to him.
Su Jianqing sighed and said quietly: "Not only are there none left, according to Xu San, Monk Daoming was also cursed by the group of refugees because of this incident, saying that his six roots were unclean."
"Why is this?"
Many people feel confused.
When Monk Daoming gave the life-saving amulet to the refugees, why did he still attract curses from the refugees? Are those refugees white-eyed wolves? They don’t like others being kind to them?
Qin Shaoyou had some guesses: "Is it possible that those who did not get the amulet thought that Monk Daoming was unfair and vented their anger on him?"
"That's what you said."
Su Jianqing nodded.
"Xu San said that after Monk Daoming gave the amulet to women, children and the injured and explained the effect of the amulet, many people asked him for the amulet.
However, after hearing him say that the amulets had been distributed and even he himself was gone, those who had said that he was a living Buddha a moment ago immediately turned their backs. Not only did they scold him for being unfair, but they also called him a flower monk with six impure roots.
He has designs on women, so he gives amulets to women.
During this period, some people tried to snatch the amulets from the hands of women, children and the injured, but were injured in the process, so they vented their anger on Monk Mingdao. Some even wanted to beat him, but they were afraid that he had magical powers, so they didn't.
Dare to take action."
"When the world becomes chaotic and disorderly, the demons hidden in people's hearts will be released..." Qin Shaoyou sighed.
"That's why we are even more needed to tie down the demons in people's hearts and restore order to the disordered world." Qin Qiaoer said, and then asked: "Do you think these two things happened too coincidental?"
Qin Shaoyou looked at Sixth Sister: "You think so too?"
Qin Qiaoer nodded and said to Su Jianqing: "Daoist Master Su, help me ask Xu San, has Monk Daoming met other bandits before he met the refugees?"
Su Jianqing immediately asked the ghost shadow, and then translated: "Xu San said that he did encounter a group of bandits, but that group of bandits did not harm Monk Daoming, they just passed him."
"I'm afraid it's not that there is no harm, but that it is blocked by the amulet and cannot be harmed."
Regarding this point, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer have the same judgment.
Both of them believed that if Xu San did not lie and everything he said was true, then there was something strange about the death of Monk Daoming.
After a brief discussion, they decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Let’s see if Monk Daoming is really dead.
Let’s also see if this Xu San is really here to seek help for Monk Daoming, or is he trying to lure them into a trap somewhere?
If it is the former, they must find out clearly, avenge Monk Daoming, and bring the criminal to justice.
And if it’s the latter, then break through the trap!
Qin Qiaoer ordered everyone to prepare to set off, while Qin Shaoyou said to Su Jianqing: "Ask Xu San, do you know where the gang of bandits who killed Monk Daoming went?"
Su Jianqing quickly asked the result: "He didn't know that after Monk Daoming died, he showed up and wanted to chase him, but he was hit by the evil spirit emanating from the gang of bandits and almost lost his soul."
This answer made Qin Shaoyou a little regretful, so he could only settle for the next best thing and asked: "Where did Monk Daoming die? Can he take us there?"
Su Jianqing exchanged a few words with Guiying and said, "He can't tell exactly where it is, but he can take us there."
"Then let's go."
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer called a group of red-clothed envoys to them. After giving some instructions, they mounted their horses and asked Xu Sanpiao to lead the way.
The crowd was divided into two teams, with one team in front and one behind, keeping a good distance so that if there was any sudden situation, they could respond back and forth.
Clothed in night cover and under the moonlight, they rushed towards the place where Monk Daoming was killed.
