The candlelight flickered slightly.
This bean-sized fire could not illuminate the Buddhist hall, and the threshold was still dark, and even the Buddha statue could not be seen clearly.
A small offering table with two trays of fruit covered with incense ashes.
The face of the Buddha statue is hidden in the darkness, and the knees of the stone statue are black and shiny because of the age. Dozens of tablets were neatly placed on the wooden stand next to the offering table, and the shadows cast on the walls were drawn out. There is no sense of solemnity at all, but it looks eerie and mysterious.
Because there is no one in the Buddhist hall, the futon is empty.
- Who lit the candle? Where are people going now
The temple door opened, and two of the three sticks of incense sticks in the incense burner were broken, leaving only the middle one that was slowly emitting white smoke.
This is a cemetery, such a gloomy arrangement is enough to scare away passers-by.
"Pretend to be a ghost." Meng Qi sneered.
Playing an "empty city strategy" in front of a man who commands an army of more than 100,000 people is simply an axe.
The fact that there seems to be no one in the Buddhist hall does not mean that there are no organs.
Moreover, people can hide behind the Buddha statue, people can also stand in the blind spot behind the door, and there are dark beams.
This is the last trap of Piaoping Gebu to prevent anyone from really following it here. Because there is not one killer who needs to come back, Piaoping Pavilion was ready to respond from the first time he came back.
Unfortunately, these tricks are useless in front of Meng Qi.
- His eyes couldn't penetrate the Buddha statue carved in stone, the walls were the same, but the beams were different.
In fact, Piaoping Pavilion's method of lighting a candle is very clever: in a dark place, the eyesight of a Jianghu expert may be able to discern a faint shadow. With candles, the eyesight is affected by the light, uncontrollably attracted to the light source, and the light is so dim that it is darker where it cannot be illuminated.
The darkness is like a huge mouth that wants to devour.
Meng Qi clearly saw the person on the beam yawning.
This man took advantage of the location (unnecessary enemies could not see him, and his own people could not see him), and after squatting for a while, he fell asleep leaning on the main beam.
What's the use of Piaoping Pavilion in order to keep it mysterious? When it's actually implemented, doesn't it have to look at people? There is no distinction between high and low, high and low, but human brains are divided. In the past, there were killers who robbed bullock carts and drilled fox holes to expose themselves, and then there were ambush responders who were perfunctory and even dozed off. How can the secret of the killer organization continue? keep it up
Thinking of the prosperous and prosperous age of the Chu Dynasty, there were not enough capable officials and wise men. The formulated national policies could not be implemented in a daze. Even if they were implemented, they could not be maintained. It's like, there is no stop in filling things up all day long. Piaoping Pavilion, a Jianghu killer organization, can control all the people under it properly
Ah.
Meng Qi sneered secretly, and then he lost his good mood.
Let's quickly finish the matter here and go to see the doctor.
The candles in the Buddhist hall suddenly seemed to be blown by the wind and shook.
In an instant, the people in ambush picked up their weapons and stretched out half of their bodies, but none of the organs in the Buddhist hall were touched, causing them to look at each other in dismay. At this time, the people on the beams slowly bent over to check, and after a while he couldn't help but shouted, "You guys are frizzy, what happened?"
"There seems to be a gust of wind..."
The speaker himself is not sure, maybe it's the wick? But this candle has not been lit for a long time, and it is not yet time to cut the lantern flower.
"What nonsense, the weather is so hot that everyone is familiar with it, where does the wind come from?"
The man on the beam had a pockmarked face, and he stretched out his head to look at the long banner of scriptures outside the temple.
These things seem ordinary, but in fact, there are mechanisms on the poles, and you need to step on the slates on the ground in a special order to pass smoothly. The hub of the mechanism is in the Buddhist hall. The first killer came back just now, and the mechanism has already been opened. Now there is no movement inside or outside. I think it is not the enemy.
"Tutou, what did you say?"
"Maybe a bird, or a pheasant."
Hiding behind the Buddha statue was a middle-aged monk with an honest appearance, but holding a huge owl-headed machete in his hand.
"Okay, stay alert." The man on the beam said impatiently.
"Ma Laojiu, what's your tone? When the leader comes back, there is something for you to look at. Don't think that we won't know if you are lazy on it."
The monk's eyes widened in anger.
The people in Fangliang didn't want to quarrel with him, so they shrank their heads and lay back.
The monk was about to scold again, but was persuaded by other people, saying that tonight was the day of "The Harrier Returning to the Nest", and no one could stop the trouble, and the monk stopped after hearing this.
Meng Qi stood in the dark outside the window of the Buddhist temple and listened to the whole process.
The monks in the temple are indeed fake.
Piaoping Pavilion "strives to be safe", even if it is a small foothold, it will not leave hidden dangers.
If the monk in the family temple colluded with Piaoping Pavilion because of money or something, then the monk would not be able to live for long. The old monk in the temple died, and the mantle was naturally passed on to the disciple. Probably only Piaoping Pavilion knew the true identity of the disciple.
It is more likely that Piaoping Pavilion took a fancy to a family temple, and the monk of the temple "died unexpectedly".
And the master of the squire clan who once again "admired the name" and invited him back to his home temple has long been replaced by others.
Such a foothold, I don't know how many places there are in Piaoping Pavilion.
Meng Qi's expression was cold and severe, and he knew the names of Tu Tou and Ma Laojiu.
It's not because of their high martial arts skills and reputation, but because Meng Qi understands Jianghu, or he passively listened to gossip in restaurants, teahouses, and other places where Jianghu people gather. I found it in the document looking through the wanted list.
There may be many people with pockmarked faces, who happen to be ranked ninth and are called Ma Lao Jiu, and the murderer who makes a giant knife nicknamed the Tutou Ghost is not one that can be encountered anywhere.
Tutougui is a famous villain in the rivers and lakes. In his early years, he gathered a group of notorious guys to rob the waterway.
They are looking for wealthy households to fight with the official ship, and once they start, they will not leave a living.
Later, Qi Chao went to the sea to capture the documents, and the government and Jin Yiwei were chasing after them. Now that five or six years have passed, some of the water bandits have been arrested by Jin Yiwei, some have died in battles in the rivers and lakes, and some are still missing.
Tutougui belongs to the missing person, and Ma Laojiu is another missing person in the same group of water bandits.
It seems that the people in the Piaoping Pavilion did not pop out of the ground as in the rumors, and they still have a vein to be found.
Meng Qi was thinking about it, and suddenly heard a burst of sound in his ears.
Two peasants dressed as peasants came to the Buddhist hall, wearing patched clothes, looking back from time to time.
When they saw that the Buddhist hall was lit with a lamp and the surroundings were quiet, they breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the Buddhist hall along the stone road.
Meng Qi noticed that when they left, the two left and right three repeatedly stepped, and knew that this was an organ.
"What's the matter with you? How did you get in?" The butcher who pretended to be a monk stood up and asked in a dissatisfied tone.
"Out, something happened."
The faces of the two killers were pale, and one of them said eagerly: "I met a hard point, the leader was entangled, and I don't know what to do now."
"what?"
The four people in ambush in the Buddhist hall emerged together, looking shocked.
They know how high the swordsman's martial arts is.
If the martial arts are average, how can it be possible to suppress this group of murderers
"Who is eyeing the Sijia Rice Shop..."
"Ma Laojiu!" Tutougui shouted and said with an angry face, "Is this something you can say outside
Hearing the words, the pock-marked face on the beam pouted and retorted: "You are not afraid of death when you talk about the master outside?"
"you!"
"Okay, okay, don't say a word."
Others hurried over to smooth things out.
The two killers who just came back calmed down and asked, "Where's Ah Jia? He should be walking the right way. He didn't say anything when he came back?"
"According to the rules, he went directly to the 'house'. In order to prevent tracking, the first Harrier to come back is not allowed to have any contact with him." Butcher scratched his bald head, and asked gruffly, "You guys What kind of hard ideas did you encounter, so panic? Could it be the guys from Fengxing Pavilion again?"
"The people from Fengxing Pavilion did see it, but this time is not for them." The killer's face became bitter, he stretched out three fingers, and emphasized heavily, "Suddenly three top-notch masters appeared, each of them Similar to the leader, it sounds scary."
"How do you know that each of them is similar to the leader, and they are hit?" Ma Laojiu hurriedly asked.
"I'm chasing after the leader. It's just west of Ershan. The leader ran back and forth in front of us and didn't get rid of the three people behind, think about it."
"… "
Everyone was shocked, and the dim candlelight illuminated the bloodless faces.
"This, it's impossible. There are people who are higher in martial arts than the leader, and there are people who are similar to him. Can we count one and count ten fingers? The master will not say it, the ancestor of Qingwu died, The rest are the abbot of Hengchang Temple, the head of the Tianshan faction, and the bad-minded Ning Changyuan. Do you mean the leader of the two major sects in Jianghu, plus the number one swordsman Ning Changyuan in the world? Chief?"
After Ma Laojiu finished speaking, everyone nodded.
The killer continued with a bitter face: "There is indeed an old monk, dressed in very shabby clothes. As for whether it is a bald donkey from Hengchang Temple, I can't say. But the other two people don't seem to be very old. They were too light to go, and they passed by in a flash, only the shadows of their clothes could be seen. One of them might be... a woman."
"Oh?"
The slaughtering ghost is obviously also proficient in the legends of the rivers and lakes. He desperately recalled the many masters in the rivers and lakes, and finally came to a sentence: "The most mysterious of the masters whose whereabouts are unknown is the bamboo swordsman. I'm interested. But I haven't heard that this person is a woman, but some people say that he ran to the court to be an official. You haven't seen his face, how can you tell that he's a bitch?"
"She's wearing pink!"
Meng Qi outside the window: "..."
The master is going to kill.
