The flower is a tulip [Chu Liuxiang]

These words were like a hand lifting a bamboo curtain hanging in front of him, and it was like a gust of wind blowing away the heavy fog that shrouded his body.

Chu Liuxiang finally exhaled heavily, and said, "I know."

A little red eyebrow moved, said: "You know? Then why do you..."

Hua Manlou came up and said, "Before this, we were only suspicious, but there was no evidence. Since Brother Hong saw it with his own eyes, we must not be wrong."

A little red nodded and said: "I saw it with my own eyes."

Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked, "You have been chasing him all the way to Fujian, how did you come here so fast?"

Yidianhong said: "I didn't go to Fujian. He came out of the mountains and ran all the way east. I chased him outside Hangzhou city and almost lost his track."

Chu Liuxiang said, "Oh?"

He seemed to have heard the tense atmosphere, and couldn't help raising his voice.

A little red actually smiled at him, although the smile looked a little stiff and weird because it didn't appear on his face often, it was still a smile after all.

Then a little red said: "He thought that if I hide it and I don't find it, I will leave. So I let him think that I am gone."

Chu Liuxiang suddenly understood.

Tianfeng Shishiro is a ninja, and Yidianhong is a killer.

The ability of a killer is not just to kill.

A qualified killer must know how to hide himself and look for opportunities to hit with one hit.

Just because someone who invites a killer to kill will never be someone that ordinary people can approach casually, let alone give you a chance to kill.

From this point of view, killers and ninjas are so similar!

It is precisely because of this similarity that Yidianhong was able to follow Tianfeng Shishilang all the way without being thrown off.

However, in this pursuit, Yidianhong has virtually gained the upper hand.

It's because Tianfeng Shishilang already knows the identity of Yidianhong, but he absolutely refuses to let Yidianhong see his true face.

So he can only hide and wait.

And Yidianhong also followed suit, hiding and waiting with him at the same time.

Chu Liuxiang knew that this matter was definitely not easy, but Yidianhong still said it lightly, as if she was afraid that Chu Liuxiang would thank him.

Yidianhong said: "About ten hours later, I saw Monk Wuhua walking out from a patch of grass where it seemed impossible for anyone to be there."

Ten or so hours, that is, nearly a day and a night.

Chu Liuxiang's expression moved, but he didn't express anything, he just asked: "Did you see Wuhua come out?" He bit Wuhua's name very hard.

A little red looked more relaxed, nodded and said: "That's right. I'm sure, no one has walked into that field during this period of time."

His meaning is already very clear.

No one walked in, so the people who came out were the people who were originally hiding there.

When he entered, he was the ninja Tenfeng Shishiro, but when he came out, he had become Miao Monk Wuhua.Even if someone saw such a thing with their own eyes, they couldn't help but feel suspicious.

The one who saw this incident was a little red.

Wuhua's move is obviously still a bit risky, because he doesn't know whether Yidianhong has left or not.But he may also have reasons for having to.

Yidianhong smiled again, and said, "I know the reason."

Chu Liuxiang nodded and said, "I know too."

The two were looking at each other and smiling, Hua Manlou finally couldn't help but asked, "What's the reason?"

Chu Liuxiang clapped his hands and laughed, "Sometimes you can't stand your temper! I thought you'd have to go to Fuzhou before you would open your mouth!"

Hearing that he was just making fun of him, Hua Manlou didn't say what the reason was, so she smiled slightly and turned towards a little red.

Yidianhong immediately said: "It is said that Wuhua is scheduled to hold an altar lecture at the Shaolin Temple in Putian on September [-]th. Time is running out, so he has to hurry back."

Chu Liuxiang snorted a little dissatisfied, and then said: "The letter sent by Master Tianfeng is actually the letter sent by Wu Hua to report the matter to Master Tianfeng and Tianhu. Wu Hua is really proficient in Buddhism, so the two masters also allowed him to preach and promote Zen. We must rush to find him in time."

◇ ◆ ◇

September [-] is said to be the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva became a monk, also known as the day of Guanyin's victory.Shaolin Temple in Putian, Fujian holds a grand Dharma meeting on this day every year. Not only monks from the temple, but also believers from nearby places will participate.Now I heard that Wuhua, the world-renowned "wonderful monk", will open an altar to preach Buddhism at the meeting, and the number of people going to Putian has increased several times.Before Chu Liuxiang and the others reached the territory of Xinghua Mansion, they already felt that something was wrong.

They settled in a small town.There are still three days before September [-]th, and even the most remote and humble chicken feather shops are full of people.

Although Yidianhong walked with the two of them, she didn't care about these daily activities at all, seeing that it was getting late, she could just find a roof to rest.Chu Liuxiang and Hua Manlou tried their best to live in the inn, squeezed into a room.

Chu Liuxiang could only smile bitterly and said, "I really don't understand what he wants to do."

Hua Manlou said indifferently: "Since he told the two masters that he would hold an open altar to teach the Fa, it is an open altar to teach the Fa. What do you still not understand?"

Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose and said, "But... don't he care about those things, those dead people at all?"

Hua Manlou sighed: "He knows that someone will bear all the crimes for him, so why should he care about it!"

Chu Liuxiang also sighed, and then came to his senses: "You mean, this case is completely closed for him. What's going on now is just another game he's started!"

Hua Manlou nodded and said: "It's just because he knows you are Chu Liuxiang, but he doesn't know that you already know who he is. To him, you are in the light and he is still in the dark, so he won't attack right away. To harm Tianfeng, Tianhu and Wuxiang, because that's when he exposed himself."

It was very awkward to say this, but Chu Liuxiang listened carefully.But as he listened, a bright smile gradually appeared on his face, and he said sincerely: "I have never been so grateful to myself like this time. I am grateful for the moment when I asked you to help me."

His words were so sincere and warm, Hua Manlou couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he heard it.

For a while, no one said a word, but it seemed that a lot had been said.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door, followed by a voice: "Excuse me, are you Chu Xiangshuai and Mr. Hua?"

Hua Manlou was startled, and said, "Senior Ying?"

That was Ying Wanli's voice.

Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose and smiled, "The window of this room is too small. I've been driving for several days, and I don't bother to climb in and out, so I won't open the door for Senior Ying."

Ying Wanli coughed dryly, and said, "I do have something important to discuss with Chu Xiangshuai, if Xiangshuai doesn't come behind closed doors..."

Before the words were finished, the door creaked open.Chu Liuxiang bowed at the door, and said with a smile, "I thought that old man Ying came to me again to ask for stolen goods."

Ying Wanli smiled wryly and shook his head, "Young Master Jin's family is rich, losing a white jade beauty is just a loss of face, after all, it's not a big deal. There's just one thing... Alas, I really can't bear Xiangshuai's entrustment." , and ask Xiangshuai to forgive me."

After saying that, he gave a deep bow.Chu Liuxiang supported him in surprise, asked him to go back to the room and sit down, and then said: "What is it, Senior Ying deserves this?"

Ying Wanli sighed, "Nangongling is dead."

These five short words shocked Chu Liuxiang and Hua Manlou at the same time.

As soon as Chu Liuxiang stretched out his hand, he grabbed Ying Wanli's shoulder and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"

Ying Wanli said: "Patriarch Murong and the old man brought Nangong Ling to the government office of Yingtian Mansion, and then they left, saying that they were going to pick up Xiangshuai's three younger sisters. The old man thought that the government office would be closely guarded so that there would be no troubles. Who knows The next morning, it was discovered that... Nangong Ling died suddenly in the cell..."

When he said this, he finally couldn't help grinning and took a breath.It was only then that Chu Liuxiang realized that her five fingers were firmly embedded in Ying Wanli's thin and withered shoulders, so she could only let go, and said in a deep voice, "He...he committed suicide, or someone..."

Ying Wanli shook his head slowly, and the pair of "God Ears in White" flashed twice under the lamp.I only heard him sigh: "He died with an arrow piercing his throat. There was no sharp weapon in the cell, and the arrow was obviously shot from outside. But I questioned all the servants in the yamen, and no one saw or shot him." Hearing any abnormalities."

"Arrow?" Hua Manlou asked in surprise, "What kind of arrow?"

Ying Wanli seemed to have been prepared, took out a slender cloth bag from his arms, put it on the table and opened it.The clusters of blood-stained arrows were reflected in the candlelight, emitting a faint green light, and there was a small note beside the arrow feathers.

Chu Liuxiang picked up the piece of paper stiffly, and saw that it was written in dark green handwriting:

Under the seat of Shi Guanyin

Sincerely, thrush

He numbly folded the note back according to the crease, and stuffed it into his sleeve casually.Ying Wanli looked at him silently, but did not stop him.

This old man who has been in the public office for decades and has experienced countless storms, seems to have never seen such a sad expression.

Chu Liuxiang still didn't say a word, and slowly sat back in the chair.The candlelight bounced on his face, but couldn't illuminate the heavy, mournful shadow.

Hua Manlou sighed softly, turned to Ying Wanli and asked, "When did this happen?"

Ying Wanli said: "That is the fourth day we left Chuzhou, it should be the fourth night."

Hua Manlou thought for a while, then walked to the door, raised his head towards the outside and said, "Brother Hong, I'm sorry."

As if in the blink of an eye, a little red figure had landed in front of him.

Seeing that Didianhong followed Huamanlou into the room, Ying Wanli had to scratch the top of his bald head with his hands.Little Red didn't even look at him, and sat down with Hua Manlou, and said coldly: "I heard it. I chased Tianfeng Shishilang to Hangzhou, and the journey took four days. I'm sure he didn't look back. Pass."

Hua Manlou said: "I believe in you."

Ying Wanli wondered, "Tianfeng Fourteenth Lang?"

Hua Manlou said: "It's the real murderer. Nangong Ling wanted to take everything on himself and exonerate him, but instead..."

Ying Wanli said, "But the one who killed Nangong Ling wasn't that thrush?"

"Thrushbird under the seat of Shi Guanyin." Chu Liuxiang's voice suddenly rang in their ears, clear and firm, "Tianfeng Shishilang... No, 'Miaoseng' has no flowers, so he must still follow Shi Avalokitesvara has some kind of connection... I will definitely find that connection!"

Ying Wanli helped Fu's pair of white false ears in surprise, and said hesitantly, "You said...Tianfeng Shishilang is the 'Miao Monk' Wuhua? The Wuhua monk of Shaolin Temple?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded and said, "That's right, I'm absolutely sure. And I saw it with my own eyes."

Ying Wanli paused for a moment, then turned his gaze away, pretending not to see a little red sitting beside him, and coughed: "But this...brother, you can't go to the government to testify, right?"

Chu Liuxiang's face had receded from the heavy haze just now, and it looked extraordinarily bright and dazzling.He turned his head to look at Ying Wanli, as if he was looking at the flickering candle, and said word by word: "Don't worry, Senior Ying, I will definitely make Wu Hua confess her guilt in public."

◇ ◆ ◇

Just after dawn, Ying Wanli knocked on the door again.

At night, Chu Liuxiang made a plan, so she dragged him and asked him how he got here.Ying Wanli had to admit that Murong Qingcheng had actually arrived here as well.The largest inn in the town was booked by him.

Chu Liuxiang was overjoyed immediately and said: "With Patriarch Murong here, we still worry about not being able to find a place to live! Now even a little red doesn't have to sleep on the roof!"

Ying Wanli had to cough again.

But Chu Liuxiang still clung to him, asking a series of questions: "Why did Murong come? Are you traveling with him? Those girls from my family, and the little prince, have they come?"

Ying Wanli coughed worse.Huamanlou chuckled, and Yidianhong walked out the door calmly, and jumped onto the roof again.

I'm afraid that among these few people, the first to fall asleep is still a little red.

Only then did Ying Wanli catch her breath, and said, "Patriarch Murong said that his cousin and Miss Su had set off before him to attend the ceremony in Putian, and he didn't see him when he got home, so he came later , and left a letter for Xiangshuai at home. Unexpectedly, Xiangshuai came earlier."

Chu Liuxiang was stunned, touched his nose and said, "These girls still like to join in the fun, especially when they hear Wu Hua's name, they just go crazy!"

Ying Wanli couldn't help laughing and said: "It's no wonder the ladies. 'Miao Monk' has no name of flowers, how many women in the world don't admire? More than half of the people who came to participate in the Shengyuan Dharma Conference this time are She is a lady from a famous family, and there are even many wives from official families!"

Chu Liuxiang coughed and said, "What about Senior Ying? You also came to see Wuhua?"

Ying Wanli blushed and said: "I don't have such idle time! I was going to find Patriarch Murong to find out Xiangshuai's whereabouts, so I went with him. Thanks to the old man's good ears, I went out for a late-night supper. I heard Xiangshuai's voice, otherwise I missed it in person?"

In fact, he was already regretting it at this time. If he pretended not to recognize Chu Liuxiang's voice, he would definitely be able to rendezvous when he arrived in Putian. Wouldn't it be a few days less to listen to such chants?

Therefore, on the road after that, Ying Wanli retreated quietly, letting Chu Liuxiang pull Murong Qingcheng to gossip.

Murong Qingcheng was very patient, he sighed while exchanging greetings: "Thanks to Brother Chu for his hard work, the real culprit was found out about the matter of sister-in-law Qingqing, so that Qingqing would not go public with hatred. Thinking of how much I disliked Brother Chu that day. Congratulations, I am really ashamed!"

But Chu Liuxiang blinked and said with a smile: "This is easy to handle. I will go to Jiangnan another day, and if you entertain me for a while, I won't be angry with you."

Murong Qingcheng seemed to have never seen anyone who spoke to him like this before, he was stunned for a while, and then he burst out laughing, repeatedly said "definitely", and then said: "Cousin She has been full of praise since she met Brother Chu. Wait When we arrive in Putian, I will introduce you again."

When Chu Liuxiang heard him mention Miss Lin, for some reason, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said with a smile, "Is Miss Biao's health getting better?"

Murong Qingcheng said: "It's all healed. She was too depressed these days, otherwise why would she rush to take Lingmei and the little prince out as soon as she received a letter from Gusu Liu Wumei?"

Chu Liuxiang's eyes flashed, and said, "Liu Wumei?"
