Chapter 30 The whereabouts of the leave book (Part 2)
After making some arrangements, Chai Yan, Gu Zhengbang and the others left the monastery.
Chai Yan walked alone at the front, Gu Zhengbang was in the middle, and the two people at the back were Mo Di and Shan Yuan.
Of course, it was not Shanyuan's own wish to take this trip, but Gu Zhengbang's request.
As for Gu Ling and Doudou, Gu Zhengbang told them not to leave the monastery.
Chai Yan's left palm was facing up and level with his chest. As he walked, he counted his fingers gracefully, sometimes looking left and right, sometimes looking up at the sky and sighing...
If he looked more mature and his clothes were more sophisticated, he would really look like a charlatan walking around in the world!
"Dad! Wait for me..."
Not far after leaving the monastery, they heard a woman's voice coming from behind. Everyone stopped and turned around to look. Following them were Gu Ling and Doudou, the master and servant.
When Gu Zhengbang saw his daughter following him, displeasure showed on his brows: "Ling'er, didn't I tell you not to run around?"
Mo Di also advised: "Miss, it's not safe outside, you'd better go back!"
Doudou was most afraid that the master would be angry. At this time, she didn't dare to raise her head to look ahead. She just followed Gu Ling with her little head lowered and said: "Master... Master, Doudou, lala lala... ..I can’t hold the lady..."
Gu Ling trotted directly to his father and said, "Dad, let me go with you. I want to expose his tricks!"
After saying that, Gu Ling pointed at Chai Yan with her jade-like fingers.
Chai Yan smiled slightly, shrugged, and said indifferently: "Whatever, as long as Miss Gu is happy!"
Gu Zhengbang clearly remembered not telling his daughter about finding the leave book, so how did she know about it?
The next moment, Gu Zhengbang's eyes fell on Mo Di's face. Mo Di felt guilty and was so frightened that he quickly avoided his eyes and did not dare to say anything.
"Dad, it was you who told us to never leave your side! So, wherever you go, we will go..." Gu Ling's reason was very good.
Gu Zhengbang had no choice but to say: "Remember, there are not many things!"
"I know, Dad!" Gu Ling immediately responded obediently.
So, the group of people walked towards the check-in room again.
The formation did not change, Chai Yan was still at the front of the crowd while pinching and calculating, Mo Di and Shan Yuan were at the back, but Gu Zhengbang in the middle was surrounded by his daughter and Doudou.
Shangguan Peining secretly pointed out the direction, but Chai Yan still stopped and walked along the way, giving people the feeling that he had gone through difficult calculations to arrive at the target location.
Gu Zhengbang would observe Shanyuan's expression from time to time. After a few times, Gu Zhengbang felt that the closer he got to the roommate, the worse Shanyuan's expression became. There was even a thin trickle of sweat oozing out of his temples on both sides.
Gu Zhengbang couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Chai Yan really told him that Shan Yuan was the murderer of the abbot?
Does the One Palm Sutra he mentioned really exist?
"Hey, we've been gone for so long, why haven't we arrived yet? Where do you want to take us?"
Chai Yan stopped, turned around and looked at Gu Ling calmly, and said: "Miss Gu, can you please stay quiet so as not to affect my calculation results!"
"you......"
"...Ling'er!"
Gu Zhengbang spoke up to stop him in time, and Gu Ling had no choice but to swallow his anger and shut his mouth for the time being.
A quarter of an hour later, Chai Yan led everyone to a big tree near the wall. This place was already some distance away from the check-in room.
Chai Yan walked to the big tree, stood still, turned around and said, "Master Gu, the leave book is at my feet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Gu Zhengbang could say anything, he heard someone behind him fall to the ground.
Gu Zhengbang looked back and saw that the person lying on the ground was Shan Yuan. At this time, his face was pale and he could only shake his head and couldn't even speak.
"Mo Di, dig it up and take a look!" Gu Zhengbang said.
Chai Yan immediately gave up his position consciously, and Mo Di rolled up his sleeves and walked over. As soon as he bent down, he started digging up the soil with his bare hands.
After only digging for a short while, the corner of a booklet appeared in the soil. Mo Di was startled and immediately reported: "Sir, there is something!"
Hearing this, Gu Ling was faster than anyone else. She was the first to run to Mo Di and looked into the dug up soil.
"Ah, there really is something!" Gu Ling covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Doudou also came to the lady's side, with an expression of great surprise.
Mo Di dug the book out of the soil in a few moments, patted off the attached soil and took a look. Sure enough, the words "Leave Book" were written on the cover.
Not only did he find the leave book, Mo Di also pulled out a bloody monk's robe from under the leave book.
"Sir, in addition to the leave book, there is also a bloody monk's robe underneath, with the word "Shan Yuan" embroidered on it. It must have been the one he wore when he killed someone!"
While he was talking, Mo Di had already presented two important pieces of evidence to Gu Zhengbang.
Gu Zhengbang nodded slightly after looking at it, and then turned to look at Chai Yan. Just by virtue of this bloody suit with a name, Shan Yuan had been convicted.
Not only Gu Zhengbang, but others also looked at Chai Yan in surprise.
Looking at Chai Yan at this time, his expression was relaxed and his smile was particularly bright.
Gu Ling was surprised and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and immediately turned her head away from him.
Gu Zhengbang took the leave book and began to read it carefully. Gu Ling immediately came to his father's side to look at it together. Mo Di took advantage of this gap to carry Monk Shanyuan to Gu Zhengbang.
Gradually, Gu Zhengbang's movement of flipping through the pages of the book slowed down. Finally, he flipped over several times and locked the records on two pages...
"Dad, in the past six months, he was the only one who took leave to go down the mountain..."
It was Gu Ling who revealed the contents of the leave book.
Gu Zhengbang closed the leave book with a snap and shouted:
"How do you explain this bloody suit?"
"Did you kill the abbot?"
"Why do you do this?"
Gu Zhengbang asked three questions in a row with lightning eyes. Shanyuan's body would tremble violently every time he said a word!
"Mo Di, hand the person over to Master Puhui first!" Gu Zhengbang said.
"Yes, sir!" Mo Di promised loudly, picked up the good source from the ground and walked towards the monastery.
Gu Zhengbang turned his head and glanced at Chai Yan, but did not speak at this time. He just nodded slightly and then left with his daughter.
Chai Yan smiled slightly and followed the others calmly.
Returning to the Zen monastery, Mo Di handed over the source of good fortune and the leave book to Master Puhui.
Master Puhui couldn't believe this. He pulled Shanyuan and asked in a trembling voice: "Is it really... is it really you?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Shanyuan suddenly fell at the feet of Master Puhui and cried in pain...
