different paths

When Gu Yiming inspected the corpse, Xingzheng and Xisheng had already returned to their respective teams. They didn't speak, and they didn't think there was anything important to discover.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Yiming pinched his nose and slowly rummaged through the corpse. From time to time, his slender fingers pinched this face and poked that head. It didn't look like he was doing an autopsy, but he was playing with toys.

After a while, he stopped, and Li Tuntao watched from a distance, and immediately asked, "How is it?"

Gu Yiming shrugged: "The appearance of death is strange, but the cause of death is..." He coughed, as if he was choosing his words carefully, "It's very natural."

"What is natural cause of death?" Li Tuntao frowned and asked in difficulty.

"There is neither trauma nor toxicity." Gu Yiming said leisurely, "It's like falling asleep and dying naturally."

"Isn't this Zuhua..." Someone in the Shaolin group muttered softly.

The voice was not loud, but Gu Yiming could hear clearly, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands: "That's right, it's sitting!" After speaking, he walked back to the team without further words.

After listening to his speech, Suo Luzheng looked at Xingzheng and Xisheng: "What do you think?"

Xi Sheng frowned and said: "There are indeed no scars on the bodies of these five people. It would be too far-fetched to say that they were sitting down..."

"The matter has come to this, why don't we arrange these five people properly first, and then make any fuss after asking Wuyou to preside over it." Xingzheng continued.

As soon as the words came out, everyone agreed.Keeping the corpse here is not an option, and the cause of death cannot be ascertained for the time being, it is better to preserve the corpse first, and wait until Liufan Temple, and then make a long-term plan.It's just that the Wudang Shaolin sects didn't see any clues from the corpse, and the onlookers couldn't help feeling anxious.

"I don't know if this corpse can be moved." Someone in the Iron Shark gang said uneasy, "The death is so strange, what if the five don't want to move, and we move easily, what if they come to the door?"

"It's okay." At this moment, a cold voice sounded in the cave, "This death is nothing special, it's nothing more than the five decays of heaven and man."

According to the Zengyi Agama Sutra, the celestial beings in the six realms of heaven will have five symptoms before death, which are called the five declines of heaven and man. , fourthly, the body is filthy, and fifthly, the seat is not happy.A carefree celestial being should have bright clothes and beaded crowns, but at the end of life, the clothes will become dirty, the crowns will wither, the originally light and clear body will become dirty, and the armpits will sweat Not only that, but also bored and impatient with An Le's life.

As soon as the voice came out, Shaolin and his party suddenly realized, and the disciples of the other sects, who knew the story, also nodded frequently. These five corpses were the most vivid expression of the five declines of heaven and man.

With some approval and some curiosity, everyone looked towards the speaker, and saw a young man sitting in a wheelchair with a calm expression.

Yue Shentan.

Xingzheng next to him nodded his head when he heard the words: "That's right, this is indeed a scene of the five declines of heaven and man."

Xi Sheng on the opposite side said coldly: "Since it is a Buddhist allusion, Dharma Master Xingzheng must be very familiar with it." The implication is that the other party actually made people get ahead of him, and now he discovered the mystery behind the corpse, and he must not have a deep understanding of Buddhism.

Xingzheng paused, and then said: "When it comes to Buddhist allusions, the poor monk is naturally not as deep as the senior brother, and I would like to thank the senior brother for his advice."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's gazes shifted again, and they focused on Yue Chentan - this person in a wheelchair is actually the senior brother Xingzheng? ! Didn't expect Shaolin Temple to accept disciples so coldly that they even get disabled?Many people have somewhat contempt in their eyes.

Suo Luzheng looked at Yue Chentan, his eyes were clear: "Your Excellency is Yue Chentan?"

"Exactly." Yue Chentan's tone was light.

Suo Luzheng was not a talkative person either, so he just cupped his fists and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Those two simple words made many people change their views on Yue Chentan.The person who can make the famous commander of the Imperial Commander say "fortunate meeting" is definitely not a small character.

Seeing this situation, Jia Wukai lowered his eyes, with an unpredictable expression on his face.

As if to make up for his lapse, Xingzheng immediately said: "The poor monk heard that the second cave of Liufan is also called the ice cave. It is cold all the year round, and three feet of ice stands inside and does not melt. Why don't these five masters stand there?" His body was brought there."

Suo Luzheng nodded, and pointed to the five guards: "You go." After finishing speaking, he immediately led the remaining guards to the depths of the mountain road, without staying for a moment, very neatly.

Since the bodies of the five governor monks had been removed, no one wanted to stay in the mountain path.Following Suo Luzheng's team, they walked the last section of the mountain road in the cave one by one.

By the time we saw the sun again, there was another scene in the mountains.

The wind and snow that had stopped originally suddenly blew up, and the white snow like goose feathers fell from the sky and covered the ground.There is a vast expanse of whiteness in the mountains. The rocks, vegetation, and trees are all covered under thick white snow, and the boundaries are blurred. Only the cliffs on both sides indicate that the road has come to an end.There are not a few people who are blinded by the violent wind and snow. If they step on the snow that no one has walked, they will fall into the waist-deep snow pit if they are not careful. When they are pulled out, the lower body is frozen and lost. perception.

The tall trees are covered with long tree hangings, cold and sharp, with different shapes.Strange to say, the general tree hangs down to the ground, but here it is different, it grows horizontally against the law of nature, as short as half an arm, and as long as a foot.The trees here are already densely populated, and the wanton and horizontal trees hang like staggered canines, blocking passers-by with their sharp corners.A group of people going up the mountain must not only pay attention to their feet, but also pay attention to their heads. In the icy wind, it is very difficult to walk step by step.

Jia Wujue trekked in the snow for a long time, and finally saw the wooden sign of "The Second Cave of Liufan". He was overjoyed, but he didn't pay attention to his feet.The heavy snow should have been fluffy and soft, but the snow was covered with layers of snow and ice. The ground was so hard that Jia Wuchai's teeth were almost knocked out.

The north wind didn't care whether he fell or not, it was still blowing. Jia Wukai's face went numb, he didn't know whether it was from the fall or from the cold.Just as he was about to kneel up, a hand with distinct bones was stretched out in front of him.He followed this hand and looked up, Yue Chentan looked calm and leaned slightly, looking at him without blinking.

Jia Wuhai only hesitated for a moment, but his body reacted before his brain, climbed onto the hand, exerted a little force, and stood up.He patted the snow dust on his body, helped his waist with an ouch, and said humanely in front of him: "Thank you, Brother Yue."

The person in front of him glanced at the snow flakes on his body, and said calmly, "Let's go together."

Jia Wujue hurriedly responded with a smile, and walked in front of Yue Chentan in a doggy manner: "I'll go ahead and make way for Brother Yue."

He stomped his feet cautiously step by step, each step being solid, and within a few steps like this, he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, and a warm cloak fell on him, covering him tightly.The familiar sandalwood scent scrambled into his nostrils, and he was shocked, almost falling into the snow again.

"Brother Wu put on this clothes first." Yue Chentan's voice sounded from behind him, cold but he could not refuse, "Brother Wu caught cold just now, if he is caught in the wind again, he might not be able to go up the mountain."

Jia Wuchai tried his best to adjust his facial expression, but unfortunately he fell just now, half of his face was still numb.Turning around, I wanted to give the person behind me a grateful smile, but instead I showed a look of wanting to cry or not.His lips trembled uncontrollably: "Let's give these clothes to Brother Yue. I don't think Brother Yue wears much. If I catch a cold because of this, I feel uneasy. Besides, I am in good health, with rough skin and thick flesh. , this little wind and snow is nothing."

There was no expression on Yue Chentan's face, he just took a deep look at him: "Brother Wu said that meeting is fate. Since you and I are destined, why should Brother Wu be so polite."

For some reason, his eyes were too calm and unwavering, which made Jia Wujue feel a little strange.The other party used what he had said to block his mouth, he had no choice but to put on Yue Chentan's big cloak honestly and walk towards the entrance of the cave with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
