"Ah Si, it's not your fault... none of this has anything to do with you. Don't blame yourself..." Seeing her like this, Boyi felt a dull pain in his heart, and he just wished he could tell her what happened to her.
All of this was turned on to him, and he had to bear it for her.
Yu Qiansi smiled coldly: "Really?"
The bare flower stalks in the weeds outside were still swaying gently in the wind.
The flower will grow back and be the same as before, maybe it's fate.
But what about the person who breaks off the flower branch? Without this person, would the branch not have to go through the pain of growing again?
And the flower that grows, even if it is completely the same as before, is no longer the original flower.
She looked down at the blood on her hands: "I am the flower-folder..."
Boyi knew that she must have fallen into the nightmare again. He held her shoulders, stared at her and said: "The person who folded the flowers is the murderer! It's not you! Ah Si, wake up! There are so many causes and effects in this world.
, if you take everything on yourself, can you hold on?!"
A layer of mist filled her pale eyes.
"But if it weren't for me..."
"It's not you!" Boyi shook her: "Ah Si, the master gave you flowers not to make you blame yourself. He is telling you that everything has its destiny! Even if no one comes to pick this flower, he will still do it today.
This is where your life ends. It’s not the cause that creates the effect, but the effect that is originally here, do you understand?”
She shook her head lightly, her eyes still staring at herself without focus. The crystals in her eyes were thrown away, with dazzling arcs, as clear as the crystals he had played with when he was a child. They fell into his palm, but they were so hot.
His heart throbbed with pain.
"I know that you put so much pressure on yourself just to motivate yourself to move forward, but...this pressure should not be placed on your shoulders..."
"Asi, let yourself go..."
"There aren't many people around me who can protect me... If I can't even protect these people..."
"You have no obligation to protect other people! You also have no ability to protect everyone... Everyone has his own life and his own path to take... Ah Si!"
He was extremely glad now that he had just put away the half piece of Buddha's stick.
Her obsession is too deep.
There were chaotic footsteps at the door, which should be the monks of Yinlong Temple.
He hurriedly restored Ji Kong's clothes and looked at Yu Qiansi who was staying where she was. She was also covered in blood.
However, this is a good explanation, just say that she helped and rescued Ji Kong.
He hurriedly went out to greet him.
After all this trouble, he was stained with a lot of blood, but fortunately he was wearing black clothes and it was not very obvious.
The one who walked at the front was a somewhat kind-faced novice. Looking at the corpses all over the courtyard, his face turned pale, and he leaned against the door tremblingly, not daring to come in.
He remembered that he had seen this novice monk in the courtyard yesterday. He should be from this monastery.
Sure enough, when the abbot of Yinlong Temple who followed closely behind him saw this tragic scene, he also closed his eyes and recited the Buddha's name several times.
Then he turned around and asked the novice: "Mingjing, what's going on?"
"Little monk, I don't know... I was sent out by Zen Master early this morning to buy tea. I just came back..."
Everyone looked at his feet again and saw that there was indeed a bag of paper that had been stained with soil.
Host Zhiyin looked at Boyi, who was standing quietly in the corridor, as if asking for help.
I heard from the novice monk at the temple gate that he and Mr. Yu from the Punishment Division were the first to arrive, and then they saw the red firework signal. Then he hurried out of the temple to fetch reinforcements, and also asked the novice monk at the temple gate to go
Come looking for a host.
The deep bamboo forest path outside the monastery has now lost its deep and peaceful Zen feel. There is another burst of noise, and Yaoguang and others squeeze in from the path.
He cupped his fists and saluted, and called across the threshold: "My lord!"
But when he looked up, he only saw Boyi, and then he saw the horrific corpses all over the courtyard, and he hesitated for a moment.
When he came, he heard about the Jingzhao Mansion's cooperation with the Jinwu Guards in sealing the square, but he did not expect it to be so serious.
"Commander Yaoguang, thank you for your hard work. How is the situation outside?"
Yaoguang said "Oh", thought for a while and told Boyi that there was no need to tell him, and then said: "Jingzhao Mansion has sealed the building, and Jinwu Guards are searching for suspicious people. Here..."
A very shallow but indifferent voice came from behind Boyi.
"Take Wuya Guard and search this yard thoroughly for me! Not even a particle of dust can be spared."
Boyi looked back and saw Yu Qiansi walking out of the meditation room with a pale face, thin but firm.
When the monks gathered at the entrance of the courtyard saw her walking out of the shadows covered in blood, they thought they had seen an evil ghost from hell, so they clasped their hands together and recited the Buddha's name.
Boyi frowned but couldn't hide his concern: "Are you okay?"
She looked at the people at the entrance of the courtyard and raised her lips: "No problem."
"Yao Guang, find someone to write down the locations of all the corpses and examine them one by one."
"Yes!" Yaoguang took the order and waved with Wu Yawei behind him to step into the yard. Inspection, recording, and drawing were completed in one go, with great understanding.
When Zhiyin heard this, his expression changed and he couldn't help but ask: "Amitabha, Lord Yu, I dare to ask, are you planning to inspect the corpses of the monks in the Qingchan Monastery? That master..."
She suddenly sneered, took a step forward, and said calmly: "Yes, it turns out that some of you still remember Master Jikong... From the beginning to the end, you never entered the courtyard or asked about the master. I thought,
None of you care about him. Or do you think that he is dead just because you see the corpses all over the courtyard?"
Boyi was shocked, why didn't he think of this?
I didn't expect that she would be so sensitive despite her anger and grief.
At this moment, when I looked at the people at the door, I saw that they were no longer as ordinary as before.
Although Zhiyin was shocked by what Yu Qiansi said, he still refused: "Sir, I haven't answered the question I just asked."
Although this monastery was designated for Jikong to live in, there were not only the novice monks who came with Jikong, but also the monks from Yinlong Temple. They must not be allowed to be desecrated after death.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yu Qiansi ignored him and pointed at the mirror: "Mingjing, when did you go out today, what did you do, and who can testify?"
Ming Jing is one of the four novice monks brought by Jing Kong. In the past, he did some close work. How could he run errands today?
When Ming Jing heard his name, he trembled all over, and then said feebly: "Back to the Master of the Jade Pavilion. This morning, young monk... I guess..."
His mind went blank and he couldn't think of anything.
A young novice behind him whispered: "At the quarter of the hour, Brother Mingjing."
It was the young novice monk of Yinlong Temple who was responsible for welcoming pilgrims at the door.
Ming Jing then said "Oh" and continued: "Yes...it was just after Chen time. The Zen Master said that he would recite sutras for an old friend for three days starting today and could not leave the Zen room. So he asked me
Go buy some cheap tea..."
In the gradually becoming more coherent memories, Ming Jing seemed to have found some support, and his words became more and more fluent, explaining where he went and who he met.
This is actually Ji Kong's habit.
He keeps good tea and only supplies it to visitors. If he drinks it himself, he always buys the cheapest loose tea in the market.
Hearing this, Yaoguang pointed out a man with a tight mouth, and Wuyawei went out to find the relevant person according to Mingjing's instructions.
Yu Qiansi then slowly said to Zhiyin: "Master presiding, the corpses in this courtyard all reveal the deeds of evil people. If you don't examine the corpses, how are you going to explain it to the thousands of believers outside?"
"Master Yu, there is no need to use this to prevaricate me. Since you have entered our Yinlong Temple, you should respect my Buddhist rules and not touch their corpses without permission, so that they will not be able to find the door to rebirth after death. What's more, Master Yu is carrying a handheld
It is disrespectful for a warrior with sharp weapons to go straight into my pure Buddhist land. I will not pursue this matter for the time being because you have known Zen Master for many years and are dedicated to finding his murderer."
Dasheng worships Buddhism, so the land of Buddhism is outside the world of mortals. Since the founding of Dasheng, there has been this unwritten rule. Soldiers are not allowed to enter Buddhism.
Even if a death row prisoner is guilty of heinous crimes, if he has the ability to enter a temple and is willing to take refuge in our Buddha, no one from the government will be allowed to enter to pursue him*.
It was Bo Yi's blessing that Yaoguang was able to successfully bring people in this time. He sent the novices at the temple gate in advance to find the abbot, so that they could come in as they wished before everyone came to their senses.
Yu Qiansi sneered: "Buddhists, do you still care about these external things? Or is it that the master in charge doesn't want to find the murderer at all?"
"Amitabha, Lord Jade. I did not do this intentionally to make things difficult. It's just that in the world, there are many mouths and everyone's eyes are on it. Can Lord Yu be able to argue or hide it? This is the rule of Buddhism. I hope Lord Yu can understand."
Boyi saw that she was still unwilling to give up, so he quickly made peace in the middle.
At this time, the previous Wuya Guard reported: "Sir! The Jinwu Guardian outside the temple gate has checked all places and found no trace of the suspected murderer."
"My subordinates have also checked one by one, and everything Mingjing said is consistent. He went out at 1:00, passed by Qingcaoji, took a slow walk for a cup of tea, turned right into Chaming Lane, bought loose tea, and met several people
The acquaintance of the tea merchant chatted for a while and returned to the temple gate in front of a stick of incense."
Because of the prosperous incense in Yinlong Temple, there are many pilgrims gathered around it, and there are also small traders doing small business here.
Jingkong Xicha, Mingjing is the young novice monk he brought from the south, so naturally everyone is familiar with him. Most of the people around Yinlong Temple are familiar faces, and no one can mistake him.
It is not difficult to use this time to commit a crime, but the witnesses all have supporting evidence for each other, which makes the testimony impeccable.
From this point of view, Ming Jing did not have time to commit the crime.
But since this is the case, the talents in this temple are even more suspicious.
But with the effort of both the front and back, how could the murderer disappear from the world? And Jingkong broke off a flower early in the morning and ordered someone to give it to him, and even entrusted it to someone who was not in his monastery.
Did he do it intentionally? Or was it unintentional? If he did it intentionally, did he notice some danger before reminding himself?
But now that he had so many opportunities, why didn't he reveal who the murderer was?
It was as if... he was so transcendent that he didn't care about this matter. Or maybe he already knew who the murderer was, but deliberately concealed it and didn't want to tell himself.
Yaoguang had already taken care of everything, and had wrapped up the knife that was suspected to be the murder weapon in the Zen room. He stood behind Yu Qiansi and said, "Sir, everything is ready."
