Everyone gathered in the lobby, whispering.

Most of the monks around looked normal.

There were only two of them, with angry expressions on their faces.

One of them is Hui De, who called everyone to come here.The other is his younger brother Huineng.

Both of them were disciples accepted by Master Kongming in the early years, and they both had a good status in the temple.They are all talented and extraordinary people.

"what?"

Among the crowd, Yue Lingxiao looked around in confusion.

Everyone in the temple has arrived.

But he did not see Master Kongming and little novice Huixin.

Everyone discussed for another 2 minutes.

at this time.

Huide walked up to the lobby.

He looked around at the pilgrims in front of him with a dissatisfied expression.

Baoshan Temple is a Buddhist temple, so it has always opened the door to convenience.

However recently.

The incense in the temple is not as good day by day, and the believers who come donate money and goods, and eat more.

It made Baoshan Temple unable to make ends meet.

He had long wanted to take the opportunity to give these pilgrims a serious look.

He didn't expect someone to give him this opportunity.

"Quiet, quiet!"

He walked up the steps, and the people around him fell silent.

I saw Huide holding a rosary in one hand and supporting his swollen belly with the other, and said to the crowd: "Everyone listen to me. Our Baoshan Temple lost a very noble Buddha statue last night. I hope the benefactor who stole it can return the Buddha statue. The past will never be blamed. Amitabha!"

People around you look at me and I look at you.

Everyone looks like a thief.

Huide glanced over the crowd, paying attention to their demeanor.

Then he set his sights on Wu Haoyu, Guo Shengqi, and Yue Lingxiao.

Only the demeanor of these three people is different.

Wu Haoyu and Guo Shengqi are the prisoners, and Yue Lingxiao is aware of the existence of the prisoners.

"Amitabha!"

Huide hadn't spoken yet, and beside Huide, a thin, ascetic monk walked out.

"Junior Brother Huineng! Could it be that you have already found the criminal?" Huide looked at Huineng strangely.

Huineng glanced at Wu Haoyu and Guo Shengqi, thought for a while and said, "Brother, why don't we discuss this matter after Master wakes up. After all, it involves people outside the temple."

Master Kongming is old and his body is not as good as before.Desire to go to class early, but no energy.

On weekdays, the matters in the temple are almost handled by two proud disciples, Huide and Huineng.

The two fought openly and secretly, both coveting the presiding position.

Huide frowned, feeling a little strange.

This Huineng should have seen the thief who was stealing, why didn't he catch him?

Is it a trap, or there may be another inside story.

Huineng's words made him hesitate whether to question Yue Lingxiao, Wu Haoyu, and Guo Shengqi.

He was confident that with just a few questions, he would be able to determine who the thief was.

Silence for a few seconds.

At this time, Wu Haoyu suddenly said: "Master, I don't know what Buddha statue was lost. Where is it. Maybe some of us saw the clue."

In a word, like a guiding light.

Everyone present agreed.

"Yes, that's right!"

"There are so many people in the temple, it is not easy to move the Buddha statue."

"The gate of the temple is also closed, so it's impossible to move out in the middle of the night!"

Everyone present agreed.

Seeing this, Huide took a meaningful look at Wu Haoyu.

This Wu Haoyu is indeed a smart person, but he is obviously not on the same level as Huide and Huineng.

A crucial step, but he didn't know that he had betrayed himself.

Huide thought for a while, nodded and said: "Alright, the most important thing is to find the Buddha statue! The lost Buddha statue is in the main hall, and the Guanyin statue on the left hand side. The time should be after the cleaning in the evening. What are you doing?"

As he spoke, one person proved himself innocent and said, "At that time, some old friends and I were chatting. After chatting, we went back to our rooms."

After talking, several people walked out, proving each other, and no one said that they left the room.

Immediately afterwards, another person said: "I went back to the wing with my wife after dinner."

"..."

One after another, they proved their innocence.

Seeing that everyone has alibi.

At this time Wu Haoyu said: "I ate and walked around. I passed by this hall and saw this brother praying in the hall. The hall should have been cleaned at that time. Then I left, and my two Friends chatted."

Speaking of which, Wu Haoyu looked at Yue Lingxiao.

Everyone looked at Yue Lingxiao one after another, why did he appear in the hall after cleaning.

Yue Lingxiao smiled slightly.

He glanced at Wu Haoyu, and also proved his alibi: "At that time, I was restless and came here to read Buddhist scriptures. As for later, I left with Master Huixin. I went to see Master Kongming again."

"Oh!" Wu Haoyu suddenly said strangely, "Really? By the way, I remember that there was another woman who came with you? Where did she go at that time!"

Seeing Wu Haoyu repeatedly attracting spearheads to him, Yue Lingxiao frowned, and instinctively protected Ma Xiaoling beside him.

At this time, Huide said: "This benefactor, so to speak, you are the last person to leave here. I don't know, when you left, did you find that the Buddha statue was missing?"

Facing the questioning, Yue Lingxiao was silent for two seconds.

He thought for a while and said, "Probably not. If the master suspects me, you can search the place where I live. As for the friend who came with me, she can't be a thief because she is a patient."

At this time, Guo Shengqi, who was on the side, complained in a low voice: "Joke, if you stole it, why would you hide it where you live?"

People around nodded their heads.

"Yes!"

"How can a thief put the stolen things in the place where he lives?"

"I think it's this kid who is sneaky and has a strange woman with him."

"That's right, it's him!"

Wu Haoyu was delighted, this was the effect he wanted.

The three became tigers, and they were speechless.

Yue Lingxiao listened to the discussions of the people around him, but he didn't care.

He sighed, frowned and said, "In this case, how about I help the people in the temple find this Buddha statue to prove my innocence?"

"That's the best! I'll just trouble the benefactor." Huide nodded.

Wu Haoyu sneered, secretly thinking that Yue Lingxiao had thrown himself into the trap.

How would he know where he hid the Buddha statue.

Even if he found it, it would be a fact that he stole it.

Yue Lingxiao closed his eyes.

In an instant, powerful spiritual consciousness swept all around.

Everything around him appeared in his mind.

Buddha statue?

He suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up.

Pulling directly from the beam, a Buddha statue fell into his hands.

"The Buddha statue was actually hidden on the beam!"

"It turns out that the Buddha statue was not taken away!"

"How does he know where the Buddha statue is? He really stole it!"

People around whispered.

At this time, Wu Haoyu's face was extremely shocked.

How can such a thing happen?

Yue Lingxiao handed the Buddha statue to Huide and asked, "Master, is this the statue?"

Huide took a look, nodded and said, "That's right!"

At this time, Wu Haoyu on the side said sarcastically: "It's really a thief shouting "Stop a thief!"
