The square-faced middle-aged monk looked at the young man in front of him with a childish face, and then at the gloomy face, somehow, there was a sense of tremor in his heart.
But a young man is a young man, and the middle-aged monk suddenly said unhappily: "I want to ask you, did you go up the mountain last night?"
The question of the square-faced middle-aged monk focused everyone's attention on Xu Lin's body, and Xu Lin, who looked around, his face remained unchanged, and he still said coldly: "You mean that I killed the abbot, but you don't want to think about it, if I have such a skill, can I still give you a chance to ask this?"
After the middle-aged monk was stunned for a moment, he immediately glanced at the corpse that had turned into a shriveled skin not far away, and a cold sweat couldn't help but break out behind him, but at this time, the little monk Wuwei was relieving the middle-aged monk and said: "Senior brother, Lord Xu Lin just returned to his residence with Aunt Xu yesterday, and Senior Brother Wuwu also saw it last night." β
"In this way, how can an outsider interfere in the affairs of my Guangyuan Temple!" The square-faced monk who turned his head to the little monk of Wuwei said again: "You take him down the mountain quickly." β
The square-faced monk is holding on to his bite, and now he has to hold on to his own field, leaving no room for speech.
An embarrassed expression appeared on the face of the little monk Wuwei, and after Xu Lin raised his eyebrows, he said coldly: "Human life is at stake, this is indeed not something that I should take care of as a grass person, but this abbot monk died strangely, don't you want to find out the truth?"
"What do you mean by that, are you accusing me?" the square-faced monk's face also became gloomy.
Xu Lin smiled disdainfully and said: "I really don't dare to accuse those who don't accuse, you are the senior brother of this temple, now that you are the biggest here, you should take responsibility, but you should be eager to prove something." β
Looking at the square-faced monk's already flushed face, Xu Lin ignored it and said: "Before the facts are clarified, whether it is me, or Aunt Xu under the mountain, or everyone on this mountain, there is a suspicion that cannot be washed away, on the contrary, I want to ask you, where were you last night? Have you seen the abbot monk?"
"Bold, what is your identity, and you dare to question the poor monk?" The square-faced monk finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart at this time, and asked with a red face.
Just as Xu Lin was about to say more, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a voice sounded at the same time: "What if it's me?"
Everyone looked towards the door of the main hall in unison, only to see a team of soldiers had appeared at the door at this time, looking at the grim attitude on their faces, all the monks were silent, and their eyes also looked at the square-faced monk.
The square-faced monk who folded his hands and said the Buddha's name looked at the official and said: "Li Zhutou, do you see that the corpse of this abbot is artificial? Not to mention that it is a poor monk, how can he have such ability, and even if the poor monk has such ability, why do you send someone to report to the official?"
Li Zhutou glanced at the corpse of the man above the ground in disgust, and then glanced at the person behind him, and several officials walked forward with a reluctant face and began to inspect the corpse.
With a cold snort, the middle-aged man known as Li Zhutou touched the stubble on his chin, and after looking Xu Lin up and down with slanted eyes for a while, he asked in a deep voice: "Where are you from, and what are you doing in this Guangyuan Temple?"
Xu Lin frowned and said, "I'm from Kunlun!"
"Kunlun?" After Li Zhutou repeated, he looked at Xu Lin suspiciously, and the rest of the people in the hall also looked at Xu Lin in surprise, especially the square-faced monk.
Xu Lin stretched out his hand and took out a brand in his arms and threw it to Li Zhutou, and Li Zhutou, who took the bronze medal easily, smacked his mouth after carefully checking it for a while, and then sneered: "I didn't expect that a baby who has not lost his hair can also have Kunlun's bronze medal." β
These words were not cold, but the meaning in the words could not be more obvious, but Li Zhutou did not continue to ask Xu Lin, but began to interrogate the monks with square faces.
For Li Zhutou's change, the square-faced monk didn't have any disrespect, and looked at Xu Lin with a little more resentment.
Everyone knows that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been many strong enemies outside, Daomen Buddhism mainly supports the Song Dynasty, the Demon Sect supports the Jin Dynasty, and the Tao and the Demon are opposed, that is, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty are opposed. Therefore, people in this cultivation world, when they walk in the world, will have great convenience, especially for disciples like Kunlun, who are given a lot of privileges and conveniences by the imperial court.
As for ordinary monks like Guangyuan Temple who don't have the slightest magic power, Xu Lin's identity is to press them hard. Even an official like Li Zhutou sometimes can't do anything to Xu Lin, unless Xu Lin has committed an unforgivable case, such as a life lawsuit like the one in front of him.
The interrogation was very long, and Xu Lin couldn't leave immediately at this time, although his identity was special, but there was a limit in the end.
But now it's just to let Xu Lin leave, I'm afraid Xu Lin won't leave, just like Fang Cai, Xu Lin has a chance to leave, but Xu Lin didn't, because Xu Lin suddenly thought of a little at this time.
This blood-stained Daoist may have already left, otherwise with Xu Lin's understanding of him, I am afraid that in this Guangyuan Temple, there will already be a river of blood, including himself, I am afraid that there is no one alive.
But another question arises, what is the Blood Stain Daoist doing here? Didn't he get the complete inheritance of the Blood God Son from the previous generation of Blood Demons? At this time, he should be hiding in a hidden place somewhere and breaking through, why did he appear here?
Could it be that the bloodstained old miscellaneous hair has broken through?
Thinking about it carefully, Xu Lin's gaze fell somewhere outside the main hall again, and a turquoise lake appeared in his mind, where a large amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was gathered, what was the reason for this?
From the cultivation world to the present, as far as Xu Lin knows, there have been two sieges that can change the color of heaven and earth. And it was these two shocks that caused drastic changes in the cultivation world, among which the time when the demon lord was born was the most, followed by the birth of the blood demon.
The sudden rise of the demon lord made the Sword Washing Pavilion, which was in charge of the Dao Gate, decline and finally disappeared into the dust of history, and then the Blood Demon returned to the world, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect followed the Sword Washing Pavilion, and was also submerged by time, and finally only left a name in this history.
If these things are connected in series, does the great monk who built Guangyuan Temple have anything to do with this Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect? Or is this monk a monk of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect?
If you think about the turmoil of the year, and this monk is really a disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, then what role did Guangyuan Temple play during this period.
Vaguely, Xu Lin seemed to grasp something, but he couldn't touch the truth of the matter, and for a while Xu Lin's mind was like a falling leaf, unable to grasp the foothold he could really reach, which made Xu Lin really entangled.
If these are thrown away, Xu Lin only thinks about the old thing with blood stains, then Xu Lin must figure out what is going on here. Because this is the first time Xu Lin has found the traces of this guy since he escaped from the clutches of the bloodstained Daoist, and he definitely can't let it go.
Watching Li Zhutou walk towards him step by step, Xu Lin hid these thoughts and looked at this bearded man with a blank face, but with a resolute look in his expression. Such people are often the ones who will not give up until they reach their goals, and they are also the most difficult characters, so they are the most troublesome to deal with.
"Your surname?" Li Zhutou suddenly asked with a disapproving face.
Xu Lin frowned: "Xu Lin!"
"Hmm!" After a sound, Li Zhutou gave a thumbs up and pointed to the abbot's monk's corpse and said, "What do you think?"
The corners of Xu Lin's mouth curled, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Zai Xia is just an ordinary disciple of Kunlun, and he rarely involves worldly matters, how can such a complicated case be known in Xia." β
Li Zhutou nodded, and then after looking at Xu Lin's body for a while, he sneered in his heart, this posterior is really a treacherous person.
"Gui Geng?"
"What?" Xu Lin asked with some incomprehension.
Li Zhutou looked at Xu Lin with a smile, Xu Lin's brows were already twisted together, why did this guy suddenly ask such an inconsequential question.
"Eighteen!"
Looking at the indifference between Xu Lin's expressions, Li Zhutou nodded disappreciatively, and he really thought in his heart that these disciples of the great sects of the Dao Sect were really full of arrogance, didn't they know that they were all wastes with no dry goods.
"Since he is eighteen years old, he is already an adult, and he should have his own opinions and judgments. Looking at Xu Lin's gradually narrowing eyes, Li Zhutou pointed to the corpse not far away and said, "What is your opinion?"
went around in a circle, this seems to be back to the original problem, and Xu Lin's judgment of Li Zhutou is indeed correct, this is definitely an unscrupulous guy, some Cheng dΓΉ seems to have a bit of resemblance to himself, and Xu Lin also likes to deal with smart people, because he will not be too tired.
"What the devil did!"
This answer can also be regarded as no answer, but it cannot be said that there is no answer, because with Xu Lin's current identity, there is an inevitable view that good and evil are not separated. Anyone who can't understand, or sees something that is against human nature, can be blamed on the Demon Dao, because in the eyes of righteous people, Demon cultivation can no longer be regarded as a human being.
is a slippery person, Li Zhutou has already drawn a symbol for Xu Lin in his heart, and then turned to leave, talking in a low voice with the officers and soldiers who had just finished examining the abbot's body, and his eyes looked at everyone from time to time.
"Can I leave?" said Xu Lin suddenly after waiting for a while.
Li Zhutou glanced at Xu Lin, and then said to everyone: "This matter is very strange, and the abbot's death is even more unclear, including Aunt Xu under the mountain, everyone is not allowed to leave Guangyuan Temple for half a step before the matter is revealed!"
Xu Lin frowned, and did not express any objections, and the monks above the main hall were also silent, in fact, where else could they go?
