Amitabha, it turns out to be Mr. Li.

Monk Huijue quickly recovered after a brief moment of surprise, and casually placed the blood-stained iron sword on the table, with a wry smile on his lips, If Junior Brother Huikong was not killed by a poor monk, Mr. Li, do you believe it?

The murder weapon was in his hand, and the junior brother next to him died with his eyes open. Whoever happened upon this scene would not think that he was innocent, right?

This time, even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I couldn't clean it up.

Of course, Huijue was also confused. Who was the person who framed him? Why frame him?

Of course Li Nuo believed in Huijue. He smiled and said: I believe Master Huijue is innocent and the murderer is someone else.

Huijue was a little surprised, but he was also touched by Li Nuo's trust in him. He said, Master Li is a wonderful person.

He is indeed a wonderful man, and he came to Xiangguo Temple wearing a Taoist robe. Is he preparing to provoke a conflict between Buddhism and Taoism?

Monk Huikong was severely injured by King Xiaoyao's men before. If you want to kill him, you only need to find a quiet night to come to his room and cover him to death. There is no need to kill with a sword, leaving only clues.

Li Nuo pointed at the sword and analyzed it calmly.

In fact, there was one thing he didn't say.

Monk Huikong's Buddha's heart is broken. If there are no Buddhist treasures such as [Relics] and [Bodhi Beads] to rebuild the Buddha's heart, he will be a useless person in this life.

So not killing him is the most painful torture.

If Hui Jue really had a grudge against Hui Kong, the best choice would be to sit on the sidelines.

Therefore, there must be someone else who killed Huikong. Li Nuo expected that King Xiaoyao, who was determined to retaliate, would do such a thing.

Of course, Li Nuo also likes to see it when a dog bites a dog.

Monk Huijue showed compassion and said: Alas! The poor monk didn't expect to fall into the trick. The poor monk was practicing in the meditation room, but when he heard a roar coming from the front hall, he woke up from his trance and was about to go over and take a look. What happened, but I saw a sneaky person sneaking into the monk's room of Junior Brother Huijue. The poor monk was confused and followed him, but he didn't know that he killed Junior Brother Huijue, and this sword was the murder weapon...

Monk Huijue was the last to come out because he was practicing in seclusion. He was lured to Huijue's monk's room by the murderer and became the scapegoat.

Li Nuo walked into the monk's room, leaned slightly, and carefully observed the murder weapon on the table. In the end, he found nothing. He shook his head and sighed: This sword is of ordinary style and quality. It is sold in all major weapon shops in Chang'an City. From the murder weapon I'm afraid it's not possible to identify the murderer. Master Huijue, can you clearly see the murderer's face?

Huijue shook his head: The man disguised himself very well, and even used some magical power to restrain his aura. The poor monk could not tell from the aura what system the murderer practiced.

I remember that Monk Huijue was a disciple of Zen Master Shichen of Bodhidharma Academy?

Li Nuo asked.

Huijue's expression changed slightly and he sighed: Sigh, once Master Shichen finds out that Junior Brother Huijue has been killed by gangsters, I don't know if he will be able to withstand the blow.

Li Nuo: No matter what, we can't hide this matter. Go and inform them quickly.

Monk Huijue nodded and walked towards the front hall.

He found Master Shichen who was busy arranging the injured, and after a few words, he saw that Master Shichen's face suddenly turned pale and his body was shaky. Fortunately, Shi Chen regained his breath and steadied himself, and then hurriedly ran towards the monastery courtyard with a few novice monks.

Seeing that Huijue was finished, Li Nuo said, Master, are you free? I would like to chat with you for a few words.

This place is chaotic and troublesome. Follow the poor monk to the back mountain.

He went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Of course, Hui Jue understood that Li Nuo was not just chatting with him, so he took Li Nuo to the back mountain, found a secluded hilltop with a good view, and said: No one will disturb you here. Mr. Li is now You can say it.”

Li Nuo asked bluntly: Master, I heard from the little novice monk that you have been traveling around the world for the past ten years. I wonder if you have ever been to Wushan in the Western Regions?

Huijue nodded and said: The poor monk has been there twice, but the Wushan Mountains are endless and shrouded in miasma all year round, forming a natural barrier that isolates the Central Plains Dynasty from the Wu Clan. If you don't take a special medicine pill from the Wu Clan, An idle person will be poisoned and die after entering the mountain within three days, and even a practitioner can only last for ten and a half months at most.

Master, I have a friend who continues to lose vitality. No medicine or stone can cure her, and she only has one year left to live. Only a special symbiotic worm from the Witch Clan can extend her life. Master, have you ever seen a Gu worm from the Witch Clan? ?”

Li Nuo asked.

He also read through the Geographical Chronicles of the Wu Clan, but what he found on the paper was shallow. It would be more reliable to ask someone who knew the Wu Clan, and then he thought of the monk Huijue who traveled around the world.

Huijue recalled: The poor monk is an ascetic monk, so the witch clan did not make things difficult for the poor monk. Those poisonous insects were very powerful and difficult to guard against, but they were controlled by the witch clan. The poor monk also heard about it, and the people of the witch clan Before adulthood, a natal Gu will be raised with essence and blood. The Gu insect and the host share life, and the host can use the Gu insect to practice. This is symbiosis. Mr. Li, could it be that your friend is also a member of the Witch Clan?

My friend is from Chang'an. Does the master know anyone from the Wu clan? The friendly ones...

Li Nuo asked.

If someone from the Wu clan helps, Zi Yuan can be saved.

Huijue shook his head and sighed: Well, the Wu clan is not friendly to the Central Plains Dynasty. Mr. Li wants to enter Wushan to hunt for a natal Gu, but there is only one way.

What method?

It was about Zi Yuan's life, and Li Nuo was a little nervous.

Every ten years, in the early spring of the next year, the dragon raises its head and the Waking of Insects happens to be on the same day. On this day, the wild Gu insects born in Wushan will wake up from hibernation. At this time, their toxicity is the weakest and easiest to capture. After this One day, people who have not cultivated witchcraft power cannot subdue the poisonous insects. If Mr. Li really wants to go, it is best to find out first what kind of natural poisonous insects your friend needs.

The two dragons will raise their heads in February next year. I will remember it. Thank you, Master, for clearing up the doubts.

Li Nuo recorded this date.

If he still can't find a way to extend Zi Yuan's life by the end of this year, then next spring, he will definitely go to Wushan in the Western Region.

At this time.

A group of monks and servants in brocade clothes rushed over and surrounded Monk Huijue.

Huijue turned around and looked back, not sure why.

Monk Huijing, the chief disciple of the Discipline Hall who had had soup with Huikong before, glared angrily: Huijue! It was you who killed senior brother Huikong. I saw this with my own eyes!

Huijue said calmly: Junior Brother Huijing, you misunderstood. I have already explained it to Senior Uncle Shichen.

Shi Chen lamented: Senior nephew Huijue, I actually don't believe you would do such a cruel thing as killing a fellow disciple, but Huijing said with her own eyes that it was you who killed Huikong with a weapon, so you told the official Take a trip and I’m sure Mr. Fu Yin will return your innocence.”

Someone, take this monk down.

A school captain walked out of the crowd, waved his hand and shouted sternly.
