Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 185: Detective Detective

The heavy rain gradually stopped in the middle of the night.

In the morning, a red sun slowly rose into the sky, illuminating the Wudang Mountains that had been washed by the rain.

After Ma Kongqun got up and washed up, he was talking to brother and sister Shen Hong and Shen Xue who came to say hello when he suddenly heard the bells ringing loudly on Wudang Mountain.

Shen Hong changed his expression and said: "This is a warning bell! When the bell rings, it means something big is happening on the mountain. All Wudang disciples must rush to Zixiao Palace to meet up immediately!"

Ma Kongqun frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "Let's go together, I also want to know what happened!"

Then the three of them went out together and rushed to Zixiao Palace.

Not long after I arrived at the square in front of Zixiao Palace, I saw many Wudang disciples gathered here, and they were all asking each other what happened.

The three of them came to the palace gate. The Wudang disciple guarding the gate stood with a sword in his hand, his expression full of grief and indignation.

When they saw Ma Kongqun and the other three, they first focused on Shen Hong, but there was some sympathy on their faces.

One of them asked the three of them to wait, turned around and went inside to inform them, and soon turned around and invited them in again.

Ma Kongqun led the two anxious juniors to the palace, only to see that all the elders of the "Mu" generation in Wudang were there, as well as the highest-status members of the "Stone" generation, except that Taoist Mu and Master and Disciple Shi He were missing. .

He had an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked Wudang Elder Tong Taoist, who was sitting in the middle and was obviously the person in charge temporarily: "Taoist Tong, what happened on the mountain?"

Taoist Tong looked sad and sighed: "Master Ma is my friend in Wudang, so I won't hide this from you. Last night, the master and Shi He were attacked when they were teaching martial arts in the Golden Palace. The master was hit by several swords and died. , Shi He's whereabouts are unknown, leaving only two severed legs outside the palace gate."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Xue, who was behind Ma Kongqun, rolled her eyes and fell on her back. Although Shen Hong hugged his sister subconsciously, tears welled up in his eyes.

Ma Kongqun was silent for a moment and then asked: "Can you find out who the murderer is?"

Taoist Tong shook his head helplessly: "There was a heavy thunderstorm last night, and no one heard the sound from the Golden Palace. After a heavy rain, all traces were washed away. We carefully inspected the scene, but we didn't have any clues."

Ma Kongqun looked back at Shen Hong, who was holding his sister and crying silently, with a look of pity on his face, and said softly: "Take Axue back first, take good care of her, and don't let anything happen to her. Regarding Brother Mu Dao, I We must get to the bottom of this."

Shen Hong originally wanted to stay and follow him to find out the truth, but looking at his fainting sister in his arms, he finally nodded and choked with sobs: "Uncle makes the decision in everything!"

He lived with Ma Kongqun and his wife outside the customs for more than ten years, and then returned to Wudang to study with Mu Taoist. In terms of closeness and trust, except for his biological father Mu Taoist and his senior brother Shi He, no one in Wudang Mountain could compare with Ma Kongqun. Compare.

After saying that, he picked up Shen Xue, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Everyone in Wudang looked at this young man who had always been loved and cared for by Taoist Mu and Shi He, and shook their heads sadly.

Just as Ma Kongqun was about to go to the scene for inspection, a Wudang disciple suddenly came in and reported that Shaolin Iron Jian Master, Six Sect Chief Catcher Jin Jiuling, and Huangshan Gusong layman came to the foot of the mountain hand in hand. They said they were the disciples who had been invited to Wudang to teach. Watch the grand ceremony.

Taoist Tong's eyes lit up, he looked around at the crowd and said, "I heard that Master Iron Shoulder was the best arrester in the world before he became a monk. Any cunning criminal can't hide under his eyes; Jin Jiuling took office as the chief arrester of the six gates. Since the beginning, several difficult cases have been solved; Master Gusong is known as a wise man who knows the world without leaving Huangshan Mountain. Now that these three people have arrived, we just asked them to take action to find out the truth."

The rest of the Wudang people all agreed, and at that time another elder with the character "Mu", Taoist Chun, came down the mountain to welcome the guests as a representative.

Hearing the names of these three people and seeing that they arrived at such a coincidence, Ma Kongqun had some doubts in his heart, but his face remained calm and he just sat next to them and waited with everyone.

After a long while, Taoist Chun finally introduced the three guests into the main hall of Zixiao Palace.

He probably didn't say anything on the way, so the three of them seemed a little surprised when they saw the formation in the palace. Among them, Jin Jiuling looked very embarrassed when he saw Ma Kongqun. Tie Jian first clasped his hands and saluted everyone, and then said with a smile: "Everyone is here together, and it is rare that the benefactor of the 'Tiandao' horse is here. If it is only to receive the three poor monks, the three of me are a little flattered."

Taoist Tong stepped forward to greet the three of them one by one, and sighed sadly: "To be honest, we are gathered here because a big event has just happened in Wudang. By inviting the three of us here, we also intend to rely on the three of us to help each other." busy."

The layman Gu Song said in surprise: "Is there anything that the Wudang sect and a 'Heavenly Sword' can't solve? If there is such a thing, what can the three of us do with this little power?"

Tong Dao Ren said: "As the saying goes, 'There is a priority in learning the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art', this time the matter really needs the help of three people to hope to solve it."

Seeing that he spoke solemnly, the three of them all knew that something big had happened in Wudang. At that time, Tie Jian said solemnly: "If the three poor monks have anything they can do to help, they will do their best."

At that moment, Taoist Tong explained what happened with a sad look on his face.

Tie Jian and the other three were all extremely shocked and were stunned on the spot, speechless for a long time.

After regaining consciousness, Tie Jian quickly entered the role and asked in a deep voice: "Has the crime scene been left as it is?"

Taoist Tong replied: "In the morning, the Taoist boy who served the master saw that he had not returned all night, so he went to Tianzhu Peak to find him. When he found out what had happened, he was so horrified that he immediately ran back to report the news. After hearing the news, Pindao and others went to check it out together. Since no useful clues were found at the scene, the scene was sealed off and even the headmaster’s body was temporarily stopped in the temple.”

Tie Jian said: "In this case, it is best if the scene is kept as it is to the greatest extent. Everyone, please move to the Golden Palace together, and we will talk about other things after the three poor monks have inspected the scene."

At that time, everyone went to the Golden Palace on Tianzhu Peak.

Ma Kongqun remained silent and followed the crowd with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, the news of the murder of Mu Taoren's master and apprentice finally spread, and all the Wudang disciples were inexplicably sad and angry.

The scene in the Golden Palace was indeed preserved, except that Mu Taoist's body was moved to two tables put together and covered with a white cloth.

In addition, a pair of broken legs that originally belonged to Shi He at the palace gate were also picked up and placed on another table.

Tie Jian asked everyone to wait outside the hall, while he, Jin Jiuling and Gu Song went inside the hall to investigate carefully.

They first looked at the blood stains on the ground, then looked at the sword marks on the four walls, and finally carefully examined the pair of severed legs and the body of the Mu Taoist.

When checking the wounds on the corpse, Jin Jiuling seemed to have discovered something, with a look of astonishment on his face. He pointed at the heart of the corpse and shouted in a very low voice: "Brother, look!"

He was born in Shaolin, and although he and Tie Jian were not disciples of the same generation, they were brothers of the same generation and had always been quite close. Even his ability to investigate cases was passed down from Tie Jian.

What he can see, Iron Shoulder can naturally see too.

On the other hand, the layman Gusong on the side realized something after being reminded by Jin Jiuling. He was startled and his expression changed drastically. He also lowered his voice and said, "Master Tiejian, this is..."

Tie Jian did not speak, but shook his head slightly, signaling the two of them to stop talking.

They turned their backs to the people outside the hall during the autopsy, and this exchange was not seen by anyone outside.
