All the mysteries of that year were completely revealed. Su Zhen opened her eyes suddenly. After removing the barrier, she opened the door and realized that the night was already dark and she had stayed in the house for several hours.
Just as he was about to walk out, he saw a sudden golden light in front of his eyes, and the entire Yunshuang Temple was enveloped in a golden light.
Those golden lights were filled with Sanskrit characters that Su Zhen was familiar with. She stopped and looked at this scene, and saw green beams of light flying towards the sky one after another.
Her figure flickered, and a few breaths later, she appeared in the backyard.
The blood-stained Yuzhu stood silently in the courtyard, constantly forming seals with his hands. As the Buddha's light flew out one after another, it merged into the hundreds of corpses. Those corpses began to spontaneously ignite flames and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The blazing flames did not extend outside the courtyard and even harmed every plant and tree.
Su Zhen heard a "ding-dong" sound coming from the northwest, as if something fell on the bluestone.
Vaguely, she saw the seven-colored light, and took a few steps toward it. When the flame disappeared, she picked up a bead from the ground, which was round and glowing with seven colors.
In the sea of fire, Yuzhu's young face was flushed red by the flames, his eyes were closed tightly, he was reciting Buddhist mantras in his mouth, and twisting the white rosary beads in circles with his left hand.
Sweat gradually broke out on his forehead, but the Buddha's light on his body increased instead of weakening.
Su Zhen knew that he was overextending his life again.
The last time they were in Jiangdu, she and Yuzhu sacrificed their own lifespans to light longevity candles and recall the living souls of the people of Jiangdu.
This time he became a monk who transcended Yunshuang Temple. He once again overdrawn his money. He went back and forth again and again. Even if he had a thousand years of life, he couldn't help but spend it like this.
"Yuzhu!"
Yuzhu heard Su Zhen's call. He slowly opened his eyes. The two looked at each other through the firelight. His eyes were filled with determination and indifference.
Although he didn't say a word, Su Zhen still read his mind.
Everything is left unsaid.
Carefully controlling the mysterious power in her body, as the familiar pain came, she tried her best to endure it, and a more powerful Buddha's light burst out from her body.
The beads on Yuzhu's wrist suddenly became hot, and then, the amber eyes turned into gold in an instant, and the souls of all the monks soared into the sky in an instant, lighting up the dark night with bright colors.
"Amitabha."
Hundreds of uniform voices streaked across the sky. They looked up and saw hundreds of monks emitting golden light appearing in the sky. Their figures were illusory and somewhat blurry.
Looking at the kind faces, the golden light in Yuzhu's pupils faded, her eyes were moist again, her lips wriggled, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something, unable to make a sound.
The leader, the old monk, had a loving look on his face. He stretched out his right hand, which was emitting golden light. The hand reached down towards the ground, and finally landed on Yuzhu's head.
Tears slipped silently from the corners of his eyes, and he tried to grab the illusory big hand, but it passed right through.
The golden Buddha light and the figures in the sky gradually disappeared. Yuzhu lowered his head for a long time, silently turned around and walked to the dim side room behind him, and closed the door with a creak.
Su Zhen held the colorful relic in her hand and stood there.
After a while, she knocked on the door.
"Yuzhu?"
"."
"Yuzhu, everything is destined. For your master and brothers, you have done everything you can. They have passed away and returned to heaven. The dead have passed away, but the living are like this. No matter what, you are still alive."
‘Creak-——’
The door opened.
Yuzhu's eyes were dim and dull, and her haggard little face was full of loneliness.
"I will definitely find the murderer for them!"
Su Zhen shook her head: "Your master has already calculated your fate and sent you away just because he didn't want you to get involved."
"."
Yuzhu was silent again, and after a long while, he slowly raised his head, his eyes becoming firm and persistent: "Donor Su, if your family was killed, would you be willing to settle for the status quo out of fear of death?"
"."
Su Zhen had never sighed more in her life than today: "Since you have murderous intentions, it may be difficult to become a Buddha."
"How can one become a Buddha without redressing the grievances of the master's family? The knot in one's heart is difficult to resolve."
As he spoke, he took off his monk's robe, leaving only the white shirt underneath.
Immediately, he turned back, carefully wrapped Master Qingmiao's cassock and his own monk's robe, carried it on his back, and walked out step by step, holding the presiding staff that was much taller than him.
Su Zhen thought for a moment and quietly put the relic back into the storage bag.
He stretched out his hand towards Yuzhu: "Let's go home."
Yuzhu nodded and held her hand.
Two figures, one large and one small, walked towards the outside.
Outside the backyard, Yu Changqing and a group of subordinates were standing guard outside. After seeing them come out, they didn't say much.
Standing outside Yunshuang Temple, Su Zhen and others saluted solemnly, praying that the deceased in the temple would reach bliss soon, or enter reincarnation and find a good family, and live a safe and smooth life.
On the way down the mountain, Jin Lian mentioned that they searched the temple extensively for a whole day and found no other clues except the clues they found during the day.
Su Zhen had already guessed it and nodded.
It was Yu Changqing who asked her if there was anything strange about her body that made her disappear all afternoon.
Su Zhen just mumbled a few words.
After Su Zhen sent Yuzhu back to the Taifu's residence, she asked Su Xian'er and Mo Chen to take care of him temporarily and let him have a good rest first.
She then went to the Siwei Mansion Office again.
Although all the corpses have been transcended by Yuzhu, fortunately, the work has been recorded in the book.
Su Zhen and others looked through it all night and had no clue.
It is worth mentioning that they can start with the shape of the wound.
Their hearts were not dug out with claws or sharp objects, the wounds were round and penetrated directly through their bodies.
Su Zhen vaguely felt like she had seen this wound somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Before dawn the next day, bad news came again. Three or four more temples were wiped out. Except for the monks who were out, no one in the temple was spared.
After all, paper cannot cover the fire. After a night of fermentation, the news has spread all over the city, and people are panicking.
Su Zhen and others were running back and forth, and as expected, they died in the same way as the monks from Yunshuang Temple.
As soon as they returned to Kyoto, they received the imperial edict and the emperor summoned them to the palace.
When Su Zhen and others heard this, they immediately changed their official uniforms and entered the palace together.
Shang Yu frame had people take them to the imperial study room. After some reprimands, he ordered Su Zhen and others to catch the murderer within five days to avenge the common people.
Su Zhen and others were about to leave the palace after receiving the order, but were stopped by the young eunuch of the East Palace.
"You Ning, then Jin Lian and I will leave the palace first." Yu Changqing said knowingly.
His father once belonged to King Qin's faction, and now his sister is the emperor's favorite concubine.
At this juncture, it is not a good thing to get too close to the prince.
As long as he remains neutral and does not seek merit, but seeks no fault, his family will surely be safe.
Su Zhen knew what he was thinking, nodded and let them leave, and went to the East Palace alone.
