Aggrieved Fish Sprite

The candlelight flickered slightly.

The bean-sized fire could not illuminate the Buddhist hall, and the threshold was still dim, and even the appearance of the Buddha statue could not be seen clearly.

On a small altar, there are two plates of fruits covered with incense ash.

The face of the Buddha statue is hidden in the darkness, and the knees of the stone statue are black and shiny due to age.On the wooden stand next to the altar, dozens of tablets were neatly placed, and the shadows cast on the wall were stretched out.Without the slightest sense of solemnity, it seemed eerie and mysterious.

Because there is no one in the Buddhist hall, the futon is empty.

—Who lit the candles?Where are people going now?

The temple door was opened, and two of the three sticks of incense sticks in the incense burner were broken, leaving only the middle one with white smoke rising slowly.

This is a cemetery, such a gloomy arrangement is enough to scare away passers-by.

"Pretending to be a ghost." Meng Qi snorted lightly.

Playing "empty city strategy" in front of a man who has commanded an army of over [-] is simply playing tricks.

There seems to be no one in the Buddhist hall, but it does not mean that there are no institutions.

Moreover, people can hide behind the Buddha statue, people can stand in the blind corner behind the door, and there are dark beams.

This is the last trap of Piaoping Gebu, to prevent anyone from really following here.Because there is not one killer who needs to come back, since the first one came back, Piaoping Pavilion was ready to respond.

It's a pity that these tricks are useless in front of Meng Qi.

—his eyes could not see through the statues of Buddha carved in stone, and neither could the walls, but the beams were different.

In fact, the way of lighting a candle in Piaoping Pavilion is very clever: in a dark place, the vision of a master of rivers and lakes may be able to discern faint shadows.With a candle, the eyesight is affected by the light, uncontrollably attracted to the light source, and the light is so dim that the places where the light does not reach are darker.

The darkness is like a huge mouth that wants to devour people.

Meng Qi clearly saw the person on the beam yawn.

Taking advantage of the convenient location (unnecessary enemies can't see him, and his own people can't see him), after squatting for a while, he leaned on the main beam and dozed off.

What's the use of Piaoping Pavilion doing everything in order to keep it mysterious?When it is actually implemented, it still depends on the person?People don't distinguish between high and low, high and low, but people's brains are divided. In the past, there were killers who robbed carts and drilled fox holes to expose themselves, and later there were ambush responders who were perfunctory and even dozed off. How can the secrets of the killer organization continue? sustain it?

Thinking of the glorious and prosperous times of the Chu Dynasty, there were countless capable ministers and wise men like a cloud, and the national policies that were formulated were still unable to be implemented, and even if they were implemented, they could not be maintained persistently. Something would happen every now and then, and governing the country was like tinkering. It seems that there is no stopping to fill things up all day long.Can Piaoping Pavilion, a quack killer organization, control everyone under its control properly?

Ah.

Meng Qi secretly mocked, and then lost his good mood.

It's better to finish the matter here quickly and go to see the doctor.

The candles in the Buddhist hall suddenly seemed to be blown by the wind and shook.

In an instant, the people in ambush picked up their weapons and leaned out half of their bodies, but none of the organs in the Buddhist hall were touched, making them look at each other in blank dismay.At this time, the person on the beam bent over to check slowly, and couldn't help shouting for a long time: "You guys are so frizzy, what happened?"

"There seems to be a gust of wind..."

The speaker himself was not sure, maybe it was the wick?But the candle has only been lit for a short time, and it's not yet time to cut the lanterns.

"What nonsense, it's so hot that people are familiar with it, where does the wind come from?"

The person on the beam had a pockmarked face, and he stretched his head to look at the scripture banners outside the temple.

These things may seem ordinary, but in fact there are organs on the poles, and they need to step on the stone slabs on the ground in a special order to pass smoothly.The mechanism hub is in the Buddhist hall. The mechanism has already been opened when the first killer came back just now. Now there is no movement inside or outside, so it is not an enemy.

"Tutou, what are you talking about?"

"Probably a bird, or a pheasant."

Hiding behind the Buddha statue was a middle-aged monk with an honest appearance, but he was holding a huge scimitar with the head of an owl in his hand.

"Okay, everyone stay alert." The man on the beam said impatiently.

"Ma Laojiu, what's your tone? When the leader comes back, you'll be a good looker, don't think we don't know if you're slacking off at the top."

The monk stared and became angry.

The man in Fangliang didn't want to argue with him, so he lay back with his head shrunk.

The monk was about to scold again, but was persuaded by other people, saying that tonight is the day when the kite returns to its nest, and no one can stop the incident, so the monk calmed down after hearing this.

Meng Qi stood in the dark outside the window of the Buddhist hall and listened to the whole process.

The monks in the family temple are indeed fake.

Piaoping Pavilion "strives to be safe" in its actions, even if it is a small foothold, it refuses to leave hidden dangers.

If the monk in the family temple colludes with Piaoping Pavilion because of money or other things, then the monk probably won't live long.When the old monk in the temple dies, the mantle is naturally passed on to his disciples, whose real identity is probably only known by Piaoping Pavilion.

It is more likely that Piaoping Pavilion fell in love with a family temple, and the monks in the temple "died unexpectedly".

And the master of the squire clan once again "attracted fame" and invited him back to his family temple, has long been replaced by someone else.

I don't know how many places there are in Piaoping Pavilion like this.

Meng Qi looked cold and stern, he knew the names of Tu Tou and Ma Laojiu.

It's not because of the high martial arts skills of these two people and their reputation, but because Meng Qi knows the world well, or because he passively listened to gossip in restaurants, teahouses, wild stores and other places where people from the world gather. I saw it when I checked the arrest warrant.

There may be many people with pockmarked faces who happen to be called Ma Laojiu, and it is not easy to meet a murderer with a giant knife and nicknamed Butcher Ghost everywhere.

Butcher Ghost is a well-known villain in Jianghu. In his early years, he gathered a group of notorious guys to live by robbery in waterways.

They only look for wealthy households and official ships to fight, and they will not leave anyone alive.

Later, the Qi Dynasty went down to the sea to arrest documents, the government and Jin Yiwei chased after them anxiously, and the group of water bandits broke up and went their separate ways because of the uneven distribution of spoils.Now five or six years have passed, some of the water bandits were captured by Jin Yiwei, some died in the fights in the rivers and lakes, and some of them are still missing.

Tutougui is one of those whose whereabouts are unknown, and Ma Laojiu is another missing person from the same group of water bandits.

It seems that the people in Piaoping Pavilion did not jump out of the ground like the rumors, and there is still a clue to be found.

Meng Qi was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a crackling sound.

In front of the Buddhist hall came two peasants dressed as peasants, wearing patched clothes, looking back from time to time.

When they saw that the Buddhist hall was lit with a lamp and the surroundings were quiet, they breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the Buddhist hall along the stone road.

Meng Qi noticed that when they walked, the second from the left and the third from the right stepped repeatedly, so he knew that this was a mechanism.

"What's the matter with you? How did you come in?" The butcher ghost pretending to be a monk stood up and asked in a dissatisfied tone.

"Out, something went wrong."

The faces of the two killers were ashen, and one of them said eagerly: "I have encountered a hard idea, and the leader has been entangled. I don't know what to do now."

"what?"

The four people who were ambushing in the Buddhist hall emerged together with shocked expressions.

They couldn't be more clear about how high the swordsmen's martial arts are.

If his martial arts were average, how could he possibly be able to suppress these murderous people?

"Who is following the Sijia Rice Shop..."

"Ma Laojiu!" Butcher Gui shouted, and said with an angry face, "Is this something that can be said outside? You are getting worse and worse, and if the master finds out, we will all die."

The pockmarked face on the beam heard the words, and retorted: "You are not afraid of death if you talk about the master outside?"

"you!"

"Okay, okay, don't say a word."

Others hurried over to smooth things over.

The two killers who had just returned gathered their minds and asked, "What about Ah Jia? He should have followed the right path. He didn't say anything when he came back?"

"According to the rules, he went directly to the 'house'. In order to prevent being followed, the first kite who came back forbade us to contact him." The butcher scratched his bald head and asked in a rough voice, "You guys What kind of hard idea did you encounter, so flustered? Could it be those guys from Fengxing Pavilion again?"

"The people in Fengxing Pavilion have indeed seen it, but this is not for them." The killer's face was bitter, and he stretched out three fingers, emphasizing heavily, "Suddenly three top-notch masters appeared, each of them It's almost like the leader, it sounds scary."

"How do you know that each of them is similar to the leader, and they are on?" Ma Laojiu hurriedly asked.

"Running after the leader. It's right there on the west side of the mountain. Did the leader run back and forth in front of our eyes without getting rid of the three people behind? Think about it."

"..."

Everyone was shocked, and the dim candlelight illuminated the bloodless faces.

"This, it's impossible. In the Jianghu, there are people who are better than the leader in martial arts, and there are people who are similar to him. Can we count ten fingers one by one? The master will not talk about it. The ancestor of Qingwu is dead. The rest are the abbot of Hengchang Temple, the head of the Tianshan School, and Ning Changyuan, who is out of his mind. Do you mean that the leader of the two major sects in Jianghu, together with Ning Changyuan, the number one swordsman in the world, blocked him? Is it the leader?"

After Ma Laojiu finished speaking, everyone nodded.

The killer continued with a bitter face: "There is indeed an old monk, dressed in shabby clothes. As for whether it is a bald donkey from Hengchang Temple, I can't say. But the other two people don't seem to be very old. Their qinggong is too high, and they passed by in a flash, only the shadow of their clothes can be seen. One of them may...or a woman."

"Oh?"

The butcher is obviously also well versed in the anecdotes of the world. He tried his best to recall the countless masters in the world, and finally said: "The most mysterious of the masters whose whereabouts are unknown is the Bamboo Swordsman. The leader has even had some experience with this man's sword skills." Interested. But I didn’t hear that this person is a woman, but some people said that he ran to the court to become an official. You haven’t seen the face, how can you tell that it’s a woman?”

"She's wearing pink!"

Meng Qi outside the window: "..."

The national teacher is going to kill.
