Hou Tzu looked at the monk calmly and said, "I would like to have supernatural power to break the situation, and save the suffering with the heart of a Bodhisattva first. The bear's ears are desolate and the cranes chirp, and the lake is lonely and the dragon sings."
There are many injustices in Xiong Er, so the monk just sits back and watches, indifferent?"
The lantern-carrying monk stared at him with countless thoughts in his mind.
Like Hou Zi, he is also a restless person. He was unwilling to be demoted to Yuntai. He was asked to stay here for the rest of his life like Taoist Zhisun. He would not agree to it at all costs; but how to break the situation?
I have been thinking about it, but I didn't expect that this lunatic would touch the core of this no-nonsense area without saying a word, and he was not afraid of getting burned!
Hou Ting looked at him playfully, "If you do it, make it big, and if you do it, you will be strong. Only in this way can you scare the tigers and scare the monkeys. If you always try to make small fuss in small steps and do it step by step, you will get nothing in the end."
If you can't solve the problem, you can't intimidate others, and you can't get any benefits, it's better to do nothing.
The monk is very busy these days. He has been to Jianjia Temple a lot, right? What, did you find anything?"
The lantern-carrying monk breathed out, "Master Nanneng of Jianjia Temple is my friend of Xinye Buddhism. I only went to visit to reminisce about old times and nothing else. For this, I dare to swear an oath in front of the Buddha.
If you want to investigate the case and I have no objection, why did you choose Jianjia Temple alone? Are you deliberately trying to hurt my face?"
Hou Zi had a good time, "I'm trying to give you face? With all due respect, you really don't have much face in my eyes."
Why choose Jianjia Temple? This is not my choice, but God’s will. If the first person to complain is the Quanzhen Sect, I will not be lenient.
You know why I was demoted here, and you should know that what I say is true."
Throwing a jade slip over, "Let's take a look. This is my discovery. What do you have to add?"
The lantern-carrying monk's face was uncertain. He had different opinions from the sword cultivator in two aspects. One was the chosen breakthrough direction, and the other was the turmoil it might cause.
After reading it carefully, I found that what was written above was very professional and completely consistent with this guy's professional characteristics before he started practicing.
After he finished reading, Hou Zi expressed his doubts, "There are three doubts about this case. First, the victims are all physically fine. I went to see Scholar Qian. Although he was thin, it was due to poor diet.
The rule is that it is caused by excessive mental stress, but it is not the result of a loss of essence and blood and being forced to pick up yang and replenish yin.
Secondly, Scholar Qian comes from a scholarly family, and his family is not wealthy, but he does not have to worry about food and clothing. According to neighbors, he appears to be an honest man, but that is just an illusion in front of his mother. In fact, he is also a prostitute outside.
Damn it, several of his classmates privately revealed that he often hangs out in Fireworks Willow Alley. This situation is not an isolated case, it has happened to several victims.
These two doubts are very contradictory to each other."
The lantern-carrying monk nodded, "Your inference is good. There is indeed a demon fox that often appears in Jianjia Temple, but it is a male fox, and it does not have a tribe. It is just a fox that was brought back to free range by Master Nanneng because of an injury.
If you have a basic understanding of human nature and know etiquette, you will definitely not be able to do such a thing that is harmful to nature and justice.
To put it another way, if it takes supplements, it will also look for human women. How can it be possible that all the people it comes into contact with are human men? This is why I think it is not safe for you to find this case.
There are countless demon clans on the mainland, and there are also many wandering around in the Three Kingdoms. How can we directly identify the demon fox? Target Jianjia Temple?"
Hou Zi smiled, the monk was still resisting, but unknowingly he started to argue with him about the case. This was a change.
"You are right. I will not presuppose the murderer. No one can prove that it was the demon fox who did it, but no one can prove that it was not done by it? Since there must be a beginning, let's start with it.
I want to remind you not to underestimate the wisdom of ordinary mortals. Although they cannot practice cultivation, it does not mean that they are stupid. Why is it rumored to be a demon fox? Instead of something else?
To catch a thief, you need to catch the stolen goods, and to catch an adulterer, you need to catch both; the reality is that we can't catch this thing on the spot, so it is necessary to take the initiative to visit, and no one wants to drag this matter out for a year and a half."
Hou Zi had no doubts, "Tomorrow I will visit your sect friend, Master Nanneng, and also meet the demon fox."
The lantern monk hit the nail on the head, "You hope it is the murderer, because it will save a lot of trouble."
Hou Zi retorted, "You don't hope it's him, because its owner is someone you know well."
The two people's eyes intertwined in the air, as if swords were slicing each other, sparks flying.
The lantern-carrying monk sarcastically said, "Hou, I know you. You have never been an upright person. If you were, I would help you without hesitation. But you are not. You are just a demon to achieve your own goals.
He gave his behavior a cloak of hypocrisy."
Hou Tzu did not deny it, "So what? At least I know how to put on a bright-looking skin. If I can do this for the rest of my life, I will be a saint! It is better than those who let nature take its course and tolerate sin.
powerful."
The lantern-carrying monk said loudly, "I will go with you tomorrow to save you the trouble of using dirty tricks to frame good people."
It was impossible for him to just look at this guy and go to Jianjia Temple, because he knew that Master Nanneng in the temple was a humble and peaceful person on the outside, but in fact he was very protective of his own shortcomings, not only towards his disciples, but also towards the monsters he raised.
Same.
He was afraid that a stalemate between the two sides would lead to unpredictable risks; Master Nanneng was a spiritual cultivator, but behind this guy was the entire Quanzhen Sect. No matter what the outcome was, it would be a disaster for both parties. He
Need to de-escalate the situation on site.
As long as he thought about this guy causing trouble all day long, he had to stand aside and help him soothe his cheeks. This fact made him very depressed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
There was no words for the whole night, even though the rumors about the demon fox had been spreading all over the city these days, the Zhisun Taoist from Taohao Gate still went his own way, remained indifferent, and didn't even bother to come over to ask.
After morning classes, the two met to set off. Jianjia Temple is located fifty miles west of the town, in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The terrain is not suitable for farming, so there are not many people around it.
The horse galloped and they arrived in more than an hour. The monk holding the lantern walked in front, acting as a guide and familiar with the road. In the distance, a medium-sized temple with red bricks, green tiles and white walls appeared in their sight.
There are a few temple fields around, which are irregular and scattered here and there, like a patched robe. There are also a few monks sitting by the wall basking in the sun at the door, creating a leisurely and peaceful scene.
