Chapter 289 The Disappearing Corpse

Although all along, because of Xiaodie's death and the misunderstanding at the beginning, I didn't have a good impression of Manager Wu, but seeing the person who was still alive not long ago buried in the cold earth pit, I still feel a little sad in my heart , more self-blame.

If I had followed Manager Wu's advice from the beginning, if he hadn't come to this random graveyard, he wouldn't have died tragically here...

After disposing of Manager Wu's body, we returned to the county seat, and it was already daylight.I immediately contacted Lei Xiaoman. When she heard the news of Store Manager Wu's death, she was very shocked, and quickly sent someone to secretly take us back to the Temple of Mercy.

On the way back, I kept thinking about what happened at Luan Graves, and speculated about the identity and purpose of the mysterious man in black.

On the surface, the man's purpose seems to be for the Eye of the Sky, but the question is why he knows that the Eye of the Sky is in the hands of the head-down master. Even we didn't know until we saw the note in the vault last night. knew.

And the most puzzling thing is, since the man in black knew where the head descendant was hiding, why did he waste a Five Thunder Talisman to save us and expose himself in the first place?
And the second Five Thunder Talisman was not only intended to deter the head-subduing master, but also seemed to remind us where the head-subduing master was hiding. All signs showed that that person was helping us!

In fact, those who know how to use talismans are not necessarily Taoists, even Mr. Lei can use talismans. At this moment, I carefully recalled the figure of the man in black, and suddenly thought of a person...

At noon, we returned to the Ci'en Temple in the deep mountains and old forests. Unexpectedly, during the time we were out, a major event also happened at the Ci'en Temple!
Second Master Lei's body has disappeared!
No wonder she was a little restless when talking on the phone with Lei Xiaoman before, we quickly found Lei Xiaoman in the monitoring room, she was frowning and watching the surveillance video repeatedly.

I stared at the replay on the screen, and asked softly, "Sister Xiaoman, why did Second Uncle Lei's body disappear, is there any clue in the surveillance?"

Lei Xiaoman frowned, shook his head and said: "Everything in the footage captured by the surveillance is normal, and there is no suspicious person there..."

"Is there surveillance in the room where Second Uncle Lei's body is?" I asked.

"No, that room is too small, and there are no other entrances and exits, so I didn't consider installing surveillance at the beginning." Lei Xiaoman said.

"Then who was the last person to enter the room?"

"It's the abbot of Ci'en Temple, Master Linghui." Lei Xiaoman replied.

"What happened before Second Uncle Lei's body disappeared? Who else discovered the situation in the first place?" I asked.

Lei Xiaoman said: "It is also a master of Linghui, because the master will chant sutras for my father at the three time periods of Mao, noon and You every day."

"Sister Xiaoman, don't you think this is a bit too coincidental? What is the origin of this Linghui master?" I asked curiously.

"Changsheng, don't you doubt Master Linghui? That's impossible. Master Linghui is my father's life-and-death acquaintance. He is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao. He is an expert outside the world. This time, it is all up to him to help me. Besides, Master Linghui There is no reason to steal my father's body." Lei Xiaoman said firmly.

"People's hearts are unpredictable, Miss Xiaoman, are you sure that Master Linghui won't be bribed by Lei Ting?" I asked.

"Absolutely not! Then Lei Ting doesn't know that there is Master Linghui at all. If Master Linghui was bribed, wouldn't our secret place be attacked by Lei Ting's people long ago." Lei Xiaoman said.

I thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the truth, but I was still a little uneasy, and even more worried about whether the Ci'en Temple was safe or not.

If there was an insider among the 20 or so store managers before, Lei Ting would definitely send someone to attack us...

I suddenly had a sense of danger, the disappearance of Second Master Lei's body might be a sign!
