Dharma

The deceased was a man in his 20s. Xia Jingge and Feng Fuling only said that they came to investigate the matter, so the family did not stop them from looking at the corpse, but they did not have any hope for them either.

Only Daoist Shen had already come to investigate, and she didn't have any new clues.Xia Jingge thought that Daoist Shen should be the only one left among the three monks, and he indeed felt a trace of residual spiritual energy near the corpse, which should belong to Daoist Shen.

But other than that, there is only the rotting corpse aura after death, and there is no other noteworthy aura.Xia Jingge shook his head at Feng Fuling, and Feng Fuling turned to ask about the basic situation of the deceased, such as what time it was, what he did that day, where he went and so on.Xia Jingge wrote it down, and when Feng Fuling finished asking, he said to him: "Let's go find the monk who has been investigating this matter."

Feng Fuling has nothing to do, anyway, he has completely subdued his demon energy, as long as he doesn't use force, even if a monk hits him, he won't be able to detect his identity.He said, "That's exactly what I mean."

The place where the monk is located is also very easy to find, because of the recent major events in the city, anyone who asks will know that she lives by a certain reed marsh outside the city, so it didn't take Xia Jingge much effort to meet this person.

To ordinary people, Xia Jingge can hide his status as a monk, but to people who are also monks, he cannot hide his identity.Therefore, when he came to visit this monk, he naturally used the etiquette of a monk.He stood still far away in the place where the aura of the reeds was fading, and he only slightly hit the three joints of the barrier without destroying it. The people inside should know that there is a colleague coming to pay a visit.

Sure enough, not long after, a woman came out with money in a boat. Looking at it from a distance, even the villagers in the mountains knew that she was a very accessible monk.She was dressed in silver light, her color was as clear as a lotus, and her gait was leisurely, as if she was walking in a leisurely manner, but she had already arrived in front of Xia Jingge in just a moment.

She looked at Xia Jingge and the two, and smiled like a lotus flower: "Why did you come here?"

Xia Jingge paid a respectful salute to meet her, and then said to her, "I came here for the case of successive deaths of men in the city."

"Oh? Someone posted it on the list again?"

Xia Jingge shook his head: "No, it's just that I have experienced here and happened to meet him, so I want to help check it out."

The woman glanced at him when she heard the words, and said: "So that's how it is. It just so happens that I don't have a clue. I would be very grateful if I have a fellow Taoist to help me out. May I ask a question, please?" What sect and sect did you learn from, and what is your Taoist name? My name is Shen, and my name is Cong Zhen."

Xia Jingge took a look at Feng Fuling, and said with a smile, "My surname is Yu, and my single name is Feng. The Daoist name is not very used in my master's school, and I don't have one. He is a registered disciple of the Jiuhua Sect."

"Oh? Jiuhua School?" Shen Congzhen glanced at him unexpectedly, "It is rare to hear that Jiuhua School has disciples who go out to practice."

"Hehe." Xia Jingge laughed dryly a few times, and said nonsense, "That was in the past. Recently, I sent the sect master to retreat for a hundred years and finally came out. I don't know if friends have heard about it. After he sent my registered disciples to inspect for a while , saying that there is no way to prove the Dao without experience, so I picked some people to go out to practice."

Shen Congzhen listened, rolled his eyes, and smiled softly: "It sounds so nice, so it turned out that the headmaster threw it out."

Xia Jingge scratched the back of her head, and admitted with a smile: "You can also say that."

"Then this...doesn't seem to be from the Taoist sect?" Shen Congzhen looked at Feng Fuling again.

Feng Fuling nodded briefly, "I'm his friend." He didn't say anything more, Shen Congzhen only looked at him a few times, and didn't ask his name, just smiled and said, "I came here for the murder case in the city. , please come in and sit down for a while, I will tell you slowly."

Xia Jingge and Feng Fuling entered the enchanted reed marsh, boarded an elegant boat, passed through the tall reeds, and arrived at Shen Congzhen's residence.It is a small isolated island in the middle of the reed marshes, not big, it can only accommodate a small yard.

Shen Congzhen made tea for them, and after some politeness, he began to talk about the whole story of the case.She said that she also happened to be passing by, and when she encountered the first murder case, she started investigating.But for so long, there has been no trace of the murderer.What she knows now is that every person who was killed was raped and then killed before death. Speaking of this, Shen Congzhen turned his eyes on Xia Jingge and Feng Fuling, and then said to Xia Jingge earnestly: "These You need to keep a close eye on your friend during the day, so as not to cause him sudden and unreasonable disaster."

When Feng Fuling heard the words, his emotions and anger were not visible, and he couldn't look at his nose and heart more calmly.

On the contrary, Xia Jingge looked sideways at Feng Fuling's appearance carefully, nodded seriously and said: "I will watch him closely."

Only then did Feng Fuling move slightly, first glanced at him, and Fang asked Shen Congzhen: "Apart from their looks, do these people who were killed have anything else in common?"

Shen Congzhen looked at him and replied: "Yes, all of them are filial, fraternal, friendly, dignified and gentle, and everyone praises them."

Feng Fuling and Xia Jingge looked at each other, Feng Fuling asked again, "Do you think he commits crimes regularly? For example, how often does he attack a person?"

Shen Congzhen shook his head immediately, "I'm afraid there is no rule in this regard. The only thing that is certain is that everyone is chosen by him after careful selection. So I can only start from this aspect to screen the next one who may let him focus on it." Now I have found out that there are three people who may have an accident, and I have notified them to be alert and left them a summons, but I don't know whether these three people will become the murderer's target, and I don't know what he is The time will come."

After hearing this, Xia Jingge asked, "Can I use divination?"

"To tell you the truth, I haven't delved into it. Can Daoist Yu know?"

Xia Jingge sighed: "I haven't studied it too much."

Shen Congzhen said: "Then there is no other way." She paused, "I will also tell you about these three families."

Xia Jingge nodded, and Shen Congzhen got up and went in. After a while, he came out with a piece of paper and handed it to Xia Jingge.The paper still had a scent of grass and trees, and on it were written in black and white the addresses and names of the three families, as well as the person's personality, hobbies, and usual places of entry and exit, etc., in great detail.

Xia Jingge glanced around, thanked Shen Congzhen, and put it in his arms.This paper also carried Shen Congzhen's aura, even in this place where her aura was filled, Xia Jingge couldn't ignore it.Maybe it's because he releases spiritual energy everywhere by himself, and he can't restrain himself properly when he enters other people's residences, so his spiritual domain can't shrink, and he is very sensitive to spiritual energy. The illusion of invasion.

After all, this is not very comfortable, Xia Jingge thought for a while, then took out the piece of paper, folded it and put it in Feng Fuling's arms. "Pick it up." He urged.

Feng Fuling looked at him indifferently, took Xia Jingge's hand from his bosom, and held it.Then he pulled Xia Jingge to stand up very naturally, and said to Shen Congzhen: "I've been nagging Daoist today." After saying that, he said to Xia Jingge, "Let's go." He is now an ordinary person, so in Shen Congzhen's eyes, it is a little bit It's impolite, but this is the normality Feng Fuling is used to, even if he pretends to be an ordinary person, he can't pretend to be humble to a strange monk.

Although Xia Jingge also felt that there was no need to stay any longer, but it was not good to follow Feng Fuling after taking the things, so she said to Shen Congzhen: "I am going out to experience, it is not good for the world to know that I am a monk, please The Daoist will help me hide it." Shen Congzhen naturally agreed, Xia Jingge scratched her head, and said to her, "We are currently living in the Yunlai Inn, and the Daoist can come to us if there is something to do." Shen Congzhen responded kindly again, Xia Jingge Only then did he say goodbye to her, and he pushed the door open with Feng Fuling and went out of the house.

I was too focused on talking just now, and it didn't know when it started to rain outside.When you are a monk, you can use spiritual energy to protect your body openly, not to mention that you will not get a drop of rain on your body, and even your clothes will not get a trace of moisture.

Being an ordinary person can't be like this, Xia Jingge was looking at the rain, thinking whether to go back in the rain, Feng Fuling already took out an umbrella from nowhere and opened it.

It was an umbrella painted with golden branches on a black surface, even in such a dark night, there seemed to be a slight golden light, which was beautiful.Just like Feng Fuling, even if he just stood quietly and calmly, he seemed to have his own light, trying to attract other people's eyes.

Feng Fuling put the umbrella on top of Xia Jingge's head, "I know you must not know how to bring it, let's go."

"How do you know that I don't want to get wet? I haven't experienced what it's like to be drenched in the rain." Xia Jingge wanted to confront him verbally.

Feng Fuling snorted softly, and tilted the umbrella completely to his side, "Then you can shower."

"I don't want to think about it now." Xia Jingge hurriedly returned the umbrella, and smiled at Feng Fuling again.

Feng Fu glanced at him, and then stepped forward.

Xia Jingge also stopped messing around, and walked out of the courtyard together with him, and stepped onto the rickety boat.He looked back at the courtyard hidden in the reeds in the hazy rainy night, as if he saw a shadow standing under the eaves, but when he looked carefully, it disappeared again.

He took a second look to confirm that there was nothing, then turned around and saw Feng Fuling looking at him. "Yu Feng?" There seemed to be a smile in his eyes. "Then what should I be called?"

Xia Jingge lowered his head and smiled: "You can call yourself whatever you want. It's fine if you don't have the same name as me."

"Then call it Feng Yu."

"How did this work? Didn't Daoist Shen know the pseudonyms we both use as soon as he heard it?"

"Can't think of another name, just use this."

"No, think again."

"That Feng Xia."

"No, change it."

"No change."

"Change."

"No change."

"..." Xia Jingge curled her lips, "It's up to you."

There was a smile in Feng Fuling's eyes again, "That's it."

Xia Jingge raised her head slightly, and saw that when the umbrella above her head was moved, the whole world went dark.
