Practice begins with the awakening of the possessed old devil

"We might as well listen to his opinion, there is nothing wrong with that!"

Zhao Youting, the Eighth Sage King, saw that Ni Qi said so, obviously admiring Tang Jingzong, so he nodded slightly.

But he asked again: "Then, what is the murderer's motive? Why did he kill Mr. Zhou and Mr. Liu?"

Tang Jingzong continued with a little embarrassment: "His Royal Highness, the killing of our Lord Zhou and Lord Liu by the other party is obviously premeditated."

"Without the Honglu Temple Minister and Shaoqing who presided over the etiquette, the Mid-Autumn Festival feast held by our emperor and the court will be embarrassed in front of the envoys of various countries. I don't want our Nanqing court to enjoy this Mid-Autumn Festival feast happily."

"The villain only thinks about the present. Unless the villain can take charge of the case and investigate the rest, it still needs some time..."

"Well, it makes sense!" Everyone nodded again and again.

Cui Yunting, Minister of Dali Temple, thought for a while, and then asked: "Captain Tang, you were on guard at the scene of the crime that night, what do you think of the line of blood and the word 'death'?"

Ni Qi didn't wait for Tang Jingzong to answer, and replied coldly: "I have always believed that the more mysterious something looks, the simpler it is in essence."

"As for the bloodstains and the word 'death', I don't have any opinion at the moment, but I think you don't have to take it too seriously when investigating the case."

Jing Zhaoyin and Li Cunxun looked at Ni Qi in a daze, and if he realized something, he hesitated for a while, and asked again: "Master Ni, you may not know yet."

"In addition to the murders of Masters Zhou and Liu in Kyoto last night, there were more than a dozen minor monks who died violently at the Da Ci'en Temple? And are they all related to this 'Book of Life and Death'?"

Ni Qi was not surprised, because he had already known about this, but Tang Ao, the commander of Longteng Wei, suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise: "In addition to the murders of Lord Zhou and Liu, there is also the sudden death of monks in the Great Mercy Temple." Incident? What's going on?"

"It shouldn't be, Da Ci'en Temple is full of many great monks with great skills, who dares to lightly touch the tiger's whiskers?"

Jing Zhaoyin Li Cunxun said solemnly: "Commander Tang, there is indeed an incident of young monks from the Da Ci'en Temple falling from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and falling to their deaths."

The Eight Sage King Zhao Youting stared at Jing Zhaoyin and Li Cunxun, and repeated in a low voice: "Great Mercy Temple? Numerous young monks? Honglu Temple? Lord Zhou and Lord Liu..."

"There is such a thing? The sudden death happened at the same time last night?"

"..." He suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Li Cunxun, why do you say that these two incidents of sudden death are related to the 'Book of Life and Death'?"

Jing Zhaoyin replied with trepidation: "His Royal Highness, the matter is like this."

"During the day, the lower official was in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to sort out official affairs and investigate the cases of Zhou and Liu adults. He received a report from the monks of Da Ci'en Temple, saying that the tragic death of young monks had occurred in their temple."

The Baxian King raised his hand and said: "Well, in fact, this king already knows about this matter, but I don't know what kind of 'book of life and death' this matter is related to?"

Tang Jingzong nodded again and said: "Well, the villain suspects that it has something to do with the Huangquan Ghost Dao Sect. Before that, the two ghosts of their sect had wandered around in the capital for several days, and then they disappeared, so they let it go."

The Eighth Wise King Zhao Youting frowned and said, "Could it be that these two ghosts are hiding in secret and making troubles secretly?"

"Yes." Jing Zhaoyin and Li Cunxun nodded.

"It is said that such a violent death must be someone who is doing evil in secret, but the words 'life and death' in the letter are in line with the style of Huangquan ghost Taoism."

"It's very weird, it makes people panic, and you can say anything."

"Of course, the most popular theory is that these people are entangled in injustice and have exhausted their lifespan. That's why the Yin Division came to ask for their lives in advance."

Ni Qi sneered: "You also believe this statement?"

Jing Zhaoyin and Li Cunxun said with a little embarrassment: "The officials only heard these rumors, but did not investigate the authenticity, so they dare not believe them."

Ni Qi asked again: "The Da Ci'en Temple doesn't seem to have any special reaction to this matter?"

Li Cunxun shook his head and said, "I have never heard of it."

The Eight Sage King Zhao Youting thought silently, and after a while, he said: "Then the death of many young monks in Da Ci'en Temple and the deaths of Lord Zhou and Lord Liu of Shaoqing Temple in our imperial court, what is the inevitable connection between them? Woolen cloth?"

Jing Zhaoyin Li Cunyun replied: "His Royal Highness, you must know that although this Da Ci'en Temple is not a state religion, it is also a temple designated by the imperial court to translate scriptures and store scriptures?"

There is a close relationship between the Eight Sage King Zhao Youting and the Da Ci'en Temple, and he is supported by the Da Ci'en Temple.

Moreover, monk Huihai was still his personal body guard, so he knew the inside story of Daci'en Temple very well, so he nodded his head as an answer.

Li Cunxun continued: "Because of the large number of deaths and the importance of this case, Da Ci'en Temple reported the deaths of many young monks to Dali Temple."

"But Dali Temple is already in a state of distress because of the deaths of Lord Zhou and Liu, so it has passed the case of Daci'en Temple to our Jingzhao Mansion."

"The situation is like this. Last night, for some unknown reason, this group of young monks collectively stumbled and fell from the seven-storey tower of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the center of the monastery and died. They were not discovered by the monks until yesterday morning during morning classes. "

Ni Qi wondered: "How can you be sure that they must have stumbled and fell to their deaths?"

"Oh, my lord, please forgive me. After many young monks of Da Ci'en Temple died under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, they reported directly to Dali Temple."

"The Dali Temple pushed it to the lower officials, and the lower officials immediately sent the chief arrester to lead people to the Daci'en Temple to investigate."

"According to reports from the police officers after their return, many empty wine bottles were found in front of the arched windows on the highest floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

"Although the robes of many young monks who fell to their deaths could still smell of alcohol even though they were blown by the night wind, it is preliminarily concluded that these young monks drank a lot of wine before their death."

"Talking with other monks in Da Ci'en Temple, I also learned that some young monks have nothing to do, so they secretly gather together to steal wine and drink."

"Besides, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival again. The big guy must be happy and secretly drink again."

"That's why our yamen's arresters deduced that these young monks must have also hid on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda last night to drink."

"After being drunk as a group, they couldn't tell where they were, and they all hooked up with each other. They accidentally pulled me and I pulled you from the arched window on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. They stumbled and fell together, and died under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

"So many young monks were drunk and fell down the tower to their deaths. It's all accidental, do you believe it?"

Ni Qi frowned, and then asked: "This reason is too far-fetched, anyway, I don't believe it."

The Baxian King also nodded slightly in agreement with Ni Qi's words, because he asked again: "Then how is the so-called 'book of life and death' connected with the deaths of these young monks?"
