Soon five soldiers entered the account.
Zhu Xiongying said, "What's your relationship with the two missing sergeants?"
One of them stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Highness, Biaoxia and the others are fellow villagers of the two of them, and they are neighbors. They are both skilled and generous, so we call them brothers."
Zhu Xiongying asked, "When did they disappear?"
Ma He said: "Your Majesty, the camp is strictly guarded. Everyone must return to the camp to rest after the hour. There are special personnel to count the number of people. No one was found missing that night. It was only the next morning that these two people were missing, so they disappeared. It should be night."
The soldier also said: "Your Highness, the ones who were with us before they disappeared disappeared when they got up in the morning."
Now that the time of disappearance is so clear, it is possible to try to rule out the possibility of their disappearance.
Zhu Xiongying asked: "Since they disappeared at night, could it be that someone took them away at night when everyone was sleeping?"
Ma He said: "This is very strange, because His Royal Highness King Yan has arranged a group of people to watch the night in order to enforce military discipline. If someone kidnaps them at night, it is difficult not to be discovered, unless the person who kidnapped them is A top player."
Zhu Xiongying nodded.
I only heard Ma He say again: "But even the top experts may not be able to leave no trace after kidnapping the two. When I found out that they were missing, I had already checked for traces of people near the barracks, but nothing was found."
After hearing this, Zhu Xiongying thought to himself that what Ma He meant was that people didn't necessarily kidnap them?
It also makes sense to think about it.
Because, if there is an existence that can snatch the two of them silently and leave no trace in King Yan's barracks, it must be a peerless master of Zhong Lao's level.
At that level, what do these two sergeants do?
You wouldn't say that you were surprised to see the skeletons of the two, so you accepted them as apprentices, right?
But if the human factor is excluded, what else will make these two people disappear?
It can't be some kind of resentful soul, right?
There was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of Zhu Xiongying's mouth, he really thought too far.
However, this slight smile brought a turn for the better in the investigation of the whole matter.
Because of this smile, it caused great pressure on the soldiers below.
Among the five soldiers, one soldier's body began to tremble slightly, and his face also turned pale.
Zhu Xiongying noticed this, and immediately understood that this person must know something else!
With a cold snort, Zhu Xiongying pointed at the soldier and said:
"You stay, the others leave."
The soldier looked up immediately, and saw that Zhu Xiongying was indeed pointing at him, his eyes panicked.
After the other soldiers retreated, Zhu Xiongying asked him to stand up and speak.
"There is no one else here right now, so tell me what's on your mind."
The soldier had a bitter expression on his face, and suddenly knelt down again and said:
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, Commander Ma... I didn't dare to say it before bidding, it's because it's all a villain's guess, it can't be counted... Besides, if the bidding made up my brother without authorization, the brothers will definitely blame me if they find out!"
"Just say what you have to say, God knows what you say, you know me." Zhu Xiongying said.
"Then... I will dare to say it under the bid..." The soldier bit his tongue and explained everything. "Mark your suspicions, they are fascinated by ghosts!"
When Zhu Xiongying heard this, his face was slightly sullen. "Stop talking nonsense, get to the point!"
The soldier hurriedly said, "Please listen to the villain's explanation."
"Actually, those of us who have been transferred to the military camp this time are usually military farmers near Fengyang..."
"Everyone does not have any other livelihoods other than farming the land on weekdays."
"However, seven or eight years ago, a Zen master Shili came from Mopan Mountain near our village, saying that there is a multicolored lotus seed in the crystal bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva here, which means that there will be a reincarnated Buddha here in the future, so he asked Then practice on this mountain, and wait for the five-colored lotus to open and the living Buddha to come."
Zhu Xiongying couldn't help smiling secretly when he heard this.
Isn't Shili talking nonsense with his eyes open?
Since ancient times, the famous mountain was occupied by monks, and it seems that Mopan Mountain cannot escape the fate of being occupied.
However, due to the experience of the emperor's grandfather as a monk, even if he is an official, he may not have the leisure time to take care of the monk's affairs.
What did the soldier mean when he said the monk's question?
Continue to listen to him say: "The Zen master started to build the temple alone. After a long time, the good reputation spread in our village, and my two elder brothers often went to the temple because of this. Whenever I have spare time, I help the monk build the temple, and a year later, the temple is also built, and Chan Master Shili is also famous..."
"The temple kept burning incense, and there were rumors in the village that the living Buddha would come to our village."
"Especially my two elder brothers who believe in this saying, they have to go to the temple every week to wipe the dharma body for the Buddha statue, in order to get good results in the future..."
"Just like that, seven or eight years have passed in a flash, and the living Buddha has never come, but it seems that Chan Master Shili has become a big fat man!" The soldier said here, suddenly emotional, and said in a bad mood: "I think he is probably that A deceitful monk!"
Zhu Xiongying couldn't help secretly agreeing.
However, this kind of deception under the guise of religion is an extra problem, so he said: "Let's get to the point, what does the disappearance of your brothers have to do with this?"
The soldier calmed down and said: "Before I said that my brothers were obsessed with ghosts, that is, they had already accepted everything that Zen Master Shili said...so for the sake of good results in the future, they must not miss the day of cleaning the Buddha statue every week... ..."
"But King Yan's barracks are strictly disciplined..."
"They just have to..." The soldier hesitated to come to a conclusion.
Zhu Xiongying immediately understood.
"You mean, they sneaked out of the barracks by themselves in order to wipe the dharmakaya of the Buddha statue?"
The soldier said: "Yes."
"Oops..." Zhu Xiongying thumped in his heart.
If this matter is true, then all definite clues will be cut off, leaving only vague conjectures! ?
Chapter 274 Unique Divination
The current situation is.
Although it is very likely that the two sergeants slipped out of the barracks privately and went to Mopan Mountain.
But I can't figure out why they didn't come back.
Is it because of encountering fierce beasts, robbers and the like on the road and encountering accidents?
Or was it because they were taken captive to the barren land to make human flesh buns when they were out?
Or they simply escaped from the barracks...
hid?
There are too many possibilities.
However, there is not much time left for Zhu Xiongying now.
If you want to try your luck, the chance of error tolerance is extremely small.
On the side, Ma He was also silent, and he couldn't tell the direction at the moment.
"That's the only way." Zhu Xiongying sighed inwardly. "Ma He, come with me."
Ma He hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, have you made any plans?"
Zhu Xiongying thought that Ma He would definitely be used by him in the future, and it didn't hurt to tell him some things in advance.
So he said: "If you make a divination, you will know where to go."
Ma He was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself:
"Throughout the ages, those who can predict good and bad fortune are all peerless virtuous ministers, such as Zhang Liang, Marquis of Wu, and Zhuge, Marquis of Wu... I didn't expect this little Highness to have such a skill?"
What makes Ma He even more incredible is that.
Even with the talents of Zhang Liang and Zhuge, at Zhu Xiongying's age, they hadn't yet made their mark...
This made Ma He dare not think about it, because the more he thought about it, the greater the pressure to stay by Zhu Xiongying's side.
"My horse and I have left our hometown and have no relatives in this world. Only His Royal Highness King Yan treats me well..."
"But His Royal Highness King Yan was born noble, and I am a commoner, so there is absolutely no possibility of becoming my own family..."
"If His Royal Highness is proficient in divination, I really want him to help me find out, when will I have my own home?"
Thinking of this, Ma He quickly shook his head.
You must know that although those virtuous people have been proficient in the technique of divination since ancient times, none of them would abuse it recklessly.
The reason for this is that "the secret of heaven must not be revealed".
If you use it without authorization, you must pay a small price.
but.
Zhu Xiongying's divination skills are all endowed by the "secret art and strange door" luck talent, which is different from the past sages.
Divination is like an instinct for him, causing little damage.
But Zhu Xiongying still uses it as little as possible.
Because once he has used divination, he will systematically deduce his own future, and unexpected changes will also occur.
In short, compared with the Qimen Dunjia technique used by the past sages, the Qimen Dunjia technique he used is closer to the category of metaphysics.
After a while, the two arrived at Zhu Xiongying's barracks.
At this time, the five-element formation that was being practiced in the barracks made Ma He feel quite unclear.
"Wait here for a moment." Zhu Xiongying said to Ma He.
He wanted to go to the high platform he had built, and draw conclusions by observing the changes in the five members of the imperial guard, "Zichou Yinmaochen".
The reason why he summoned these five people was because each of them took the lives of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth correspond to the five directions of east, west, north, and middle respectively.
For Zhu Xiongying, as long as he senses the world and makes a request, he can see many mysteries from these five people.
After a moment.
I saw that the brilliance of the two Zi Chou was more brilliant, which meant that the trip should go to the southeast.
After getting off the high platform, Zhu Xiongying asked Ma He, "This trip can go to the southeast. Do you know the name of the place in the southeast direction?"
For a general in the army, knowing the geography around the barracks is a must.
After hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, Ma He said in disbelief: "The southeast...is the direction of Mopan Mountain!"
"It's not too late."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Xiongying blew the whistle to the horse, and the horse galloped quickly.
Taking advantage of the short waiting time, Zhu Xiongying said to Ma He: "Commander Ma, I can go alone later."
Ma He bowed his hands and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty can guide you, please take your Majesty with you!"
"Do you have a horse?" Zhu Xiongying asked.
Although it was stipulated in the martial arts exercise that only the general could ride a horse, every barracks would undoubtedly prepare a few more horses to avoid the risk of the horse failing at a critical moment.
Ma He, as someone close to Zhu Di, naturally has the right to control the horses.
"There is a horse under the mark!" After finishing speaking, Ma He also blew his whistle.
At this time, Zhu Xiongying's horse arrived, he jumped on the horse and said, "I'll take a step first, you come quickly!"
"Yes!"
But Ma He is also a good horse driver, and he quickly caught up with Zhu Xiongying's speed.
Zhu Xiongying slowed down the horse slightly, letting Ma He lead the way.
Ma Helu said: "Mopan Mountain is five miles away from here, but the mountain road is steep, Your Highness must be careful when driving."
"No problem." Zhu Xiongying smiled slightly. "But if the mountain road is rugged, we should not ride up the mountain, so as not to alarm others."
"Under the mark, I understand!"
But they said that the two passed a village, and there was a villager's clothes drying on the side of the road.
