martial arts ghost

"what--"

A scream pierced the sky, and Laoke, who was still asleep, woke up suddenly and sat up suddenly from the bed.As soon as he got up, Laoke suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing from behind him. Looking back, he saw that the door of the room was half opened, and the two brothers in the room had disappeared.

Laoke hurriedly put on his shoes and went out, just in time to see the backs of the two brothers, and quickly called them to stop.

"Wait! What happened to that cry just now? Where are you going?"

Li Bao stood still and turned around to wait for Laoke, while He Yuze beside him also stopped.

Li Bao replied: "I don't know what happened, we are going to check the situation."

Laoke caught up and saw that the two brothers didn't look like they had just woken up, so he asked, "Have you been up for a long time?"

"Well, I got up earlier than you. My younger brother always gets up early to practice swords." Li Bao explained using He Yuze as an excuse.As for why he had to explain the reason for getting up early, Li Bao felt that it might be because he knew that the scream meant that someone in the temple had discovered that a monk had died.People who get up early for no reason are always suspicious, even though there is Ye Xinghai who gets up earlier than them.

Laoke didn't think much about Li Bao's words, he just looked at He Yuze with admiration, and said, "It's really hard work, no wonder the martial arts are so high."

The temple is not big, and it didn't take long for the few people to reach the place where the screams came from.

This is the place where the monks live. In a not-so-big room, there is a row of shops. Six monks, one old, three young, two in their prime, are crowded in the room, surrounded by a dead body.

Li Bao poked his head around and saw that the corpse belonged to the monk who they saw pouring vegetables in the vegetable field when they came yesterday.

"What happened?" Laoke squeezed in recklessly, and suddenly took a breath.The monk with the square face that he saw yesterday had his eyes wide open, his face was pale, his robe was stained red with blood, and he had already been killed.

"Mingli, Yanzhi, go down the mountain and report to the officials." After the old monk finished reciting the reincarnation mantra, he sighed, half-closed his eyes, and ordered.

"Yes, master." The two monks, one strong and one young, replied in unison, and then left without delay.

Qi Anlan came late, just in time to catch these two people leaving.He looked into the house, there were many people, and he couldn't see anything at the door, so he asked Li Bao, "What happened?"

"A monk died." Li Bao replied.

"What?" Qi Anlan was startled, and went into the room to have a look.

……

"...The abbot's condolences." Qi Anlan seemed to know the abbot very well, and said.

The abbot nodded and was about to speak when he heard his disciples shout angrily: "Stop! What are you going to do?"

Laoke, who was inspecting the wound, was taken aback, rolled his eyes and said, "Let me see what kind of weapon your brother died under." Then he continued to examine the only wound on the corpse, which was also fatal.

"Master Lao Liu still knows how to do this kind of work?" Qi Anlan was attracted to look at it.

"I don't know how to do it. I'm just familiar with knife wounds. If you're used to being in the martial arts world, you should know something. It's a dagger stabbing wound," Lauke said.

"Is this one?" A voice asked from the door.Ye Xinghai, who arrived at some unknown time, was holding a blood-stained dagger through the veil.

"Brother Ye, you're here!" Qi Anlan went up to meet him, took the dagger from Ye Xinghai's hand, and asked, "Where did you pick up this dagger?"

"Behind the house." Ye Xinghai said.

"It seems to be this one." Lauk also came out and looked at the dagger.

"Shall we go to the back of the house where Young Master Ye picked up the dagger together?" Li Bao asked suddenly.

Several people agreed one after another, but the old monk and a few young monks refused, saying that they wanted to chant scriptures for the dead monk.

Li Bao's group of three, Qi Anlan and the two of them, a young monk, went to the place where the dagger was found.

"Master, nothing happened when they didn't come. As soon as they came, Senior Brother Mingkong died! Maybe the murderer was among them. How could we let them wander around and let Senior Brother Mingli go down the mountain to report to the police?" Woolen cloth?"

After the few people walked away, a little monk who lowered his head and chanted sutras suddenly raised his head, looked at his master with red eyes and said.

"Speak carefully! Don't speculate on others!" The old monk scolded.

This time, Qi Anlan and Laoke are both acquaintances.There were only those three strangers, but with the skills of the two he had accidentally seen this morning, if they wanted to kill someone, they could do it openly instead of stealthily.Even if there are some martial monks in their temple, it's not worth their fear.Even now, if these people want to leave, even if all the people in his temple are present, it is impossible to stop them.

They are not the murderers.If so, then Mingli and Yanzhi went down the mountain, and Mingxuan, Mingjie, and Mingjing also left the temple without returning.

Amitabha--

At this time, among the group of people who went to the back of the guest room, they were also talking about the murderer.

"Ming Fang, has there been any feud with others in the temple recently?" Qi Anlan asked.

"No, the small temple is located in a remote place, so few people come here." Ming Fang shook his head.

"Then how did the murderer find this place? You are all monks in the temple, ordinary thieves can't do anything to you, and second- and third-rate warriors won't let Ming Kong die so silently." Laoke thought as he said , paused, and said again: "Strange, if the murderer's martial arts are good, then he picked Ming Kong who was alone in the room, did he have a feud with Ming Kong?"

"Impossible. Ming Kong has been growing vegetables in the temple and rarely goes out. It is impossible to make enemies with strangers." Ming Fang denied without hesitation.

"Perhaps, the reason why the murderer attacked Mingkong was because there were many monks in the other room, and you and Mingli, he was quite afraid." Qi Anlan said, thinking this way: Once there is a noise, we will There are also two masters on the side, so it will be difficult for the murderer to get out of the body.

"It's possible." Locke said.

Ming Fang also nodded slightly.

"...But since there is no enmity or grudge, what is the motive of the murderer here?" Seeing that both Qi Anlan and Laoke avoided speculation that was unfavorable to them, Li Bao smiled slightly and raised the question. point.

Everyone fell silent suddenly, and it took a long time before they heard Ming Fang speak.

"I have to ask a few of you, because you can form hatred with others outside."

"You mean the murderer came after us? You have to talk about evidence!" Ming Fang's tone was really unpleasant. Although Laoke knew that this was indeed very possible, he couldn't help but refute it.

Looking at Li Bao's face indistinctly, Qi Anlan looked at his relaxed and contented face, and couldn't understand why Li Bao directly exposed his doubts, so that their relationship with the monks in the temple could not even be peaceful on the surface. Can't sustain it.

why?

Li Bao just found it interesting.

As for the murderer's motive, if the two monks Ming Li Yan Zhi survived after going down the mountain, then Li Bao could almost be sure of his guess.
