There was no sound coming out of the wooden house. Jingkong spoke again, but there was still no response. The old monk frowned, suddenly reached over, pushed open the wooden door, and walked in quickly.
Qining saw that Jingkong's behavior was slightly abnormal. He originally thought that the other party had not yet let him in, so it would be difficult for him to follow him. However, he felt that the situation was different and couldn't help but follow him into the wooden house.
The cabin is quite spacious, and the light coming in from the window makes the cabin look quite bright. Under the bed on the left, there is an ancient wooden table. A person is sitting cross-legged on the wooden table, with his back to Qining's side. Below is a golden futon.
After Jingkong entered the house, he saw the man and did not dare to make any mistake. He clasped his hands and said, "Senior brother, I'm waiting to see you in brocade!"
Qi Ning thought that this person should be Master Kongzang, the host of Daguangming Temple. He also took two steps forward, stood next to Jingkong, cupped his hands and said: "Junior Qi Ning, I have met Master Kongzang!"
The great monk sitting cross-legged still did not look back, motionless as a mountain.
Qi Ning was a little strange, thinking that Master Kongzang's airs were too big. Suddenly, he heard Jingkong say in a deep voice: "No...!" The figure was like a light cloud, falling lightly to the monk's side, and put his hand on it. Over the man's shoulder, Qining saw that one side of the man's figure had fallen to the ground.
Qi Ning was shocked. After seeing the monk lying on his side, his body turned over. His chest was already broken into pieces, and his flesh and blood were blurred. The monk's eyes were wide open, his pupils had no color, and his face was pale, without any trace of blood. Seems to be dead.
Qi Ning's body was shaken.
The scene before him was even more shocking than when he learned that Lu Shanghe framed Xiang Baiying in Xichuan.
Daguangming Temple is the best temple in the world, and Master Kongzang is a person who has reached the pinnacle of status and fame in the world, but such a martial arts master died here.
Jingkong always had a pleasant look on his face, but at this moment, his face was also shocked. Without looking at Qi Ning, he actually stood up and ran out of the window above the wooden case. Qi Ning only saw Jingkong's strange body movements, circling around the wooden house. After walking around for a while, he finally came in through the window again, with a stern look on his face, squatting beside the dead old monk, staring at the wound on the old monk's chest without saying a word.
There was a deathly silence in the wooden house. Qining hesitated for a moment, then finally came closer and whispered: "Jing... Master Jingkong!"
Only then did Jingkong look up, and Qining asked: "Should we...should we call someone over? Master Kongzang was killed, this...!"
Jingkong shook his head and said: "This is not senior abbot, but senior brother Jingchen!"
"Ah?" Qi Ning was startled again, and then frowned, thinking to himself that Jingkong was not bringing him to meet Master Kongzang, but why did this become Senior Brother Jingchen, and couldn't help but ask: " Who is this master?"
"He is the leader of Baihui Pavilion." Jingkong said solemnly: "In the Great Guangming Temple, no one can reach the level of Buddhist cultivation. Although his martial arts is not as good as the abbot's brother, in terms of Buddhist knowledge, even the abbot's brother is willing to be inferior. Guangming Thirteen Among the monks, he ranks second only to the abbot and senior brother!"
Qining thought to himself that this was also an eminent monk. Fortunately, it was not Master Kongzang who died here. But even so, the head of Baihui Pavilion, who ranked second among the thirteen bright monks, died in Daguangming Temple. This It was also an earth-shattering event. He frowned and said, "Jing... How could Master Jingchen be killed here?"
Jingkong pondered for a moment, then said: "We passed the Prajna Terrace just now, do you still remember?"
Qi Ning nodded and Jingkong said: "Go to Prajna Terrace immediately, find any disciple, and ask him to go to Cihang Palace to find a monk of the Jingzi generation and tell him that something happened here in Gulin Dushe. Remember, tens of millions of people Don't leak this matter, don't tell anyone in detail." After saying that, he took a string of rosary beads and threw them over. Qining reached out and took them. Knowing that the rosary beads were evidence and that the matter was urgent, he did not hesitate and turned around to go out. .
He ran all the way to the Prajna Terrace, saw a middle-aged monk, and immediately showed his rosary. The monk hurriedly folded his hands and saluted. Qining relayed Master Jingkong's instructions. The middle-aged monk didn't waste any time, and immediately turned around and hurried away. Qi Ning then returned to Gulin Dushe and saw that Jingkong had placed the body on a wooden couch in the corner of the room and was chanting sutras in a low voice.
Qi Ning came in, waited until Jing Kong finished chanting, and then whispered: "Master, I have already told you."
Master Jingkong nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."
"Master, this is the matter of your Daguangming Temple. This junior should not ask more questions." Qi Ning hesitated, but still asked: "But... But how could Master Jingchen be killed here? This is the Daguangming Temple and is heavily guarded. Master Jingchen is one of the Thirteen Monks of Light and has great martial arts skills. Who can kill him here?"
Jingkong hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master Hou, when you come to Daguangming Temple this time, are you related to the leader of the Beggar Clan, Xiang Baiying?"
Qi Ning was surprised. After he went up the mountain, he didn't mention anything about it. He really didn't know that the old monk knew it. Could it be that the old monk could penetrate people's hearts? He was surprised and said: "Master... how does the master know?"
"As far as the old monk knows, there are rumors in Xichuan that the Black Lotus leader killed the leader of the Xiang clan." Jingkong said: "Xichuan is quite chaotic now, and the Marquis has just returned from Xichuan, Xichuan. It is said that the Hou Ye and the leader of the Xiang clan seem to have quite a relationship. Yuanyuan, this trip up the mountain should be related to Gang Leader Xiang."
Qining thought to himself that the Daguangming Temple was worthy of being a master of martial arts and knew everything about the world. He nodded and said, "Master's guess is correct. I was entrusted by someone to come to see Master Kongzang. Please tell me something." Come on."
Jingkong nodded slightly, but Qi Ning frowned and said, "Master brought me here to see Master Kongzang. How come Master Kongzang became Master Jingchen?"
"This is indeed the place where senior abbot meditates on weekdays." Jingkong said: "But half a month ago, this was where senior brother Jingchen sat in meditation."
Qi Ning was a little confused, but fortunately Master Jingkong had already said: "The old monk brought you to see not the abbot, but the abbot, Jingchen. The abbot... It is not convenient to see guests. At present, everything in the Daguangming Temple is done by Jingchen." Senior brother acts as agent."
Qi Ning understood and said: "Master is saying that from the very beginning, Master was planning to make the younger generation mistakenly think that Master Jingchen is Master Kong Zang?" He felt dissatisfied immediately. He had never seen Master Kong Zang. If Today, this pure dust really pretends to be Kongzang, and it is really difficult for me to tell the difference.
Daguangming Temple is the head of the Buddhist sect, but I didn't expect them to deceive me like this.
Master Jingkong obviously saw the unhappiness in Qin Ning's heart, and clasped his hands and said: "Master Hou, don't worry about it. The old monk told the truth. The abbot brother is seriously ill. Now, six of the thirteen monks of Guangming are doing their best to rescue. Don't say Lord Marquis, even if you are an old monk, you cannot see the abbot brother. The abbot brother is unable to handle any affairs at the moment, but various matters cannot be delayed, so it is helpless for senior brother Jingchen to handle it on his behalf. "
"Master Kongzang is seriously ill?" Qining asked in surprise: "Master Jingkong, what on earth is going on?" Thinking of the situation in Daguangming Temple as if it were facing a formidable enemy, he wondered if this had something to do with Master Kongzang being seriously ill? Master Kongzang has great martial arts skills, and there are many masters of Daguangming Temple, including people with excellent medical skills. I really can’t figure out what kind of disease can make Master Kongzang unable to even deal with the affairs of the temple.
Master Jingkong did not explain, but just said: "Master Hou, it is better to go down the mountain as soon as possible, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time." When he said this, there was obvious worry in his eyes.
"Master Jingkong, didn't you just let me stay in the temple for two days to listen to your teachings?" Qining observed the words and expressions, and naturally noticed something strange. He knew that the old monk Jingkong was vague, and there must be a huge secret behind it that was not known to anyone. , asked in a low voice: "Do you... do you know who Master Jingchen was harmed by?"
Before Jingkong could speak, he suddenly heard a faint wailing sound. Jingkong's expression became stern, and he rushed out of the door with his monk's robes fluttering. Qining immediately followed him out. He just heard the vague sound. , unable to determine the direction, but Jingkong seemed to have determined the direction, and walked quickly towards the northwest, with hurried steps, Qi Ning followed behind, and seeing his light body, he thought that this old monk was not even seventy but sixty-five. , but his movements were light and fast, and the Thirteen Bright Monk lived up to his reputation. He used his internal strength and was barely able to keep up without being separated by the distance.
His mind was full of questions at this moment, but he was thinking about who had harmed Master Jingchen. Jingkong said that Jingchen ranked second among the Thirteen Monks of Light, and his martial arts would not be inferior to Jingkong, but he was killed by someone. Killed alone in the ancient forest, how amazing is the murderer's martial arts
After Qi Ning entered the house, he took a careful look. There were no signs of fighting in the ancient forest house. It can be seen that Master Jingchen was killed without even having a fight with him. Thinking about it, the murderer His martial arts skills are even more terrifying.
Jingkong was like a gust of wind, running for a while, suddenly stopped, looked ahead, Qining followed him, followed his gaze, and his expression suddenly changed.
I saw several corpses lying in front of me, all of them were monks from Guangming Temple. What was terrifying was that all of these corpses had no heads, leaving only bare torsos. There was blood on the ground, which was extremely terrifying. Jingkong clasped his hands together and recited the sutra silently, then clasped his hands and walked forward slowly, Qining followed lightly. After passing the corpses, he felt his stomach tightening, and the smell of blood rushed into his nose, and he almost vomited it out.
Following the path, there is a cliff. There is a pine tree on the edge of the cliff, facing the wind to welcome guests. From the time the corpse was found to the edge of the cliff, there were six or seven corpses in a short distance. Still ten steps away, Jingkong stopped again, and the sound of chanting sutras rang out again.
Qining looked at the welcoming pine tree, turned his face away suddenly, and spat out a mouthful of bitter water from his throat.
I only saw that there were heads pierced through the branches of the welcoming pine. The seven heads were penetrated by the seven pine branches on the welcoming pine. When the eyes were opened, they were all facing this way. The bare heads proved that These heads all belong to the headless corpses just now, and each head is still dripping with blood. This situation is like a nightmare, extremely terrifying.
