Volume Two: The Case of the Red Lotus in the Ancient Temple Chapter 34: Lord of the Palace of Forgetfulness
Duan Ming quickly rushed back to the mountain and frowned slightly when he saw the scene in front of him.
At this moment, I saw hundreds of monks standing in front of the Main Hall, and around them were nearly a hundred fully armed Mingjing Siguan Chao.
Some of these monks had expressions of horror and fear on their faces; some were whispering to each other with incomprehensible expressions on their faces; some lowered their heads and closed their eyes, constantly chanting sutras.
"Mr. Duan." At this moment, Xu Ruoyun came over: "Commander Xing is waiting for you in the main hall."
"Yeah." Duan Ming nodded and walked straight into the Main Hall.
At this moment, Xing Qianqiu was standing in the center of the palace, his face very gloomy.
And right opposite Xing Qianqiu, lay a charred corpse.
"Mr. Duan, you are back." Xing Qianqiu raised his head and glanced at Duan Ming: "I'm really sorry, things have changed and I have to get you back."
"It's okay." Duan Ming sighed, waved his hand, squatted down and looked at the body: "Is this the Jingfa? What happened?"
"That's it." Xing Qianqiu then told Duan Ming what happened.
It turned out that just after Xing Qianqiu and Duan Ming separated, Xing Qianqiu first arranged for Xu Shizhong to prepare things for Duan Ming, and then sent people to bring all the monks to the Main Hall.
According to the clues collected previously, there must have been no one else living in the temple on the night of July 20th.
And whether it is tearing off the gold paint or lighting a fire, someone needs to do it.
Therefore, among these monks, there must be the mastermind behind the scenes or an accomplice of the mastermind behind the scenes.
However, the backgrounds of these monks seem to be very clear, and they do not seem to have had much contact with outsiders.
What's more, it's been a long time since the incident, and I'm afraid the other party has already cleaned up the gold paint.
So it is undoubtedly very difficult to find this person through a search.
Therefore, Xing Qianqiu thought of a way, which was to test.
Xing Qianqiu first gathered all the monks in front of the Main Hall, and then asked the officials of the Mingjing Division to bring these monks into the Main Hall in batches.
Then I used a knife to scrape off the black oxidized copper on the Buddha statue.
If it is the person behind the scenes or his accomplice, flaws will inevitably be exposed.
Of course, there may be some who are devout Buddhists among them, so they were shocked when they saw what Xing Qianqiu did.
But it can also help Xing Qianqiu screen out most suspicious monks.
Unexpectedly, only the second group of people had a big problem.
The second group of people were several monks from the Jingzi generation of Brahma Xing Temple, including Jingfa.
When these people entered the Mirror Department, there wasn't much of a problem. Even when Xing Qianqiu used a knife to scratch the Golden Buddha, his expression didn't change much.
But when Xing Qianqiu asked people to take these people out, a look of horror suddenly appeared on Jingfa's face.
Then Jingfa let out a scream, white smoke poured out of his clothes, and then green flames suddenly burned on Jingfa's body.
Several officials from the Mirror Department hurriedly fetched water to extinguish the flames on Jingfa's body, but it was too late.
By the time several officials came to fetch the water, Jingfa had already been burned alive.
And just on Jingfa's chest, a blood-red red lotus pattern appeared.
"It's the red lotus pattern again." After listening to Xing Qianqiu's words, Duan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully inspected Jingfa's body.
"Did anyone do anything special at that time?" Duan Ming suddenly asked.
"No." Xing Qianqiu shook his head: "Because I was worried that they would collude with each other, I deliberately kept a distance from each of them."
"Yeah." Duan Ming nodded and was about to speak when he heard a loud shout from outside.
"When you achieve Bodhi, you will see eternal life." Then several figures in white came in and stood on both sides of the main hall.
"The Immortality Cult!" Xing Qianqiu frowned and said sternly: "Who let you in? Come on, take it down!"
"I gave in!" However, as soon as Xing Qianqiu finished speaking, he heard a rough voice, and then a man in a red robe slowly walked in.
I saw that this man was nearly two meters tall, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked upright.
"It's you!" Xing Qianqiu frowned even more: "Why are you here?"
"Such a thing happened to the Brahma Temple, how could I not come?" The man's face was extremely calm, and his burly body perfectly combined with his temperament. Not only did it not look out of place when paired with a red robe, it actually
Make people feel respected from the bottom of their hearts.
"Old Xing, who is this?" Duan Ming stood up and asked.
"The Master of the Immortal Sect's Immortal Palace—the Master of Wangji Palace." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
"Master Wangji Hall?" Duan Ming glanced at this person with some surprise. Is this one of the few people who stand at the apex of power in the Daqi Kingdom?
"Master Wangji Hall, this is the scene of a murder. Please take your people from the Immortality Sect and leave here!" Xing Qianqiu took a step forward and said to Master Wangji Hall.
"Haha." The master of Wangji Hall shook his head: "This monk was punished by God because he committed the crime of greed and hatred. He was burned to death by the red lotus karma fire."
Master Wangji waved his hand, and a white-clothed cultist came in with a tray in his hand. On the tray were three gold bars and several pearls: "This was found from under the bed in his room, which proves that what I said is true."
.”
"The incident happened in Brahma Temple. The murderer was the Holy Mother of Red Lotus. The deceased was a monk of Brahma Temple. He was guilty of greed and anger. This matter should be under the jurisdiction of the Immortality Sect."
"You also said that this is Brahma Temple, what does your Immortality Religion have to do with it?" Xing Qianqiu asked.
"When you achieve Bodhi, you will see immortality." The master of Wangji Palace replied calmly: "All sects practice and practice for the purpose of immortality. In the final analysis, there is no difference between them and the longevity sect. They are all children of the immortality sect. Besides, this
Our religion is not a self-preserving, pedantic and stubborn sect. So the matter of the Brahma Monastery is naturally the matter of our religion."
"Master Wangji Hall is really good at arguing." Xing Qianqiu sneered: "This relationship is very clear."
"Why did Deputy Commander Xing say this? I am just discussing the matter." Master Wangji Hall was not angry and continued: "The things here are religious matters, and religious matters are the matters of my Immortality Religion. I have my own immortality.
Teach how to handle it.”
"Master Wangji Hall, I'm afraid you have forgotten." Xing Qianqiu sneered: "Are the affairs of the world not the king's business? Even if it is a matter of the sect, I, the Mirror Division, can't take care of it? Is it possible that your Immortality Sect has already overridden
Above the royal power?"
"Deputy Commander Xing, I want to use my words here to show off my power." Master Wangji Hall shook his head: "Since I am already here, naturally I cannot let you, the Mirror Division, do whatever you want. I will write to Your Majesty later,
Please issue an imperial edict to hand over this matter to me, so that the Mirror Division and the Deputy Criminal Commander will not have to worry about it."
"Then let's wait until you invite the imperial edict!" Xing Qianqiu said solemnly: "Right now, I, the Mirror Division, have the final say here!" This chapter has been completed!
