Chapter 129 Grow up, young man (4)
After Kongjue escaped from that deserted town, he was always worried about Zhu Qingsheng and followed the direction Zhu Qingsheng flew away, but he never found it. He thought that he might go east and return to Jiujiang City, and Sima Yuan and this old friend had not seen each other for nearly twenty years, so he came all the way east.
When I passed by Wuning County, I heard that three eunuchs died inexplicably here. The county magistrate was frightened and vigorously searched the murderer. Teams of constables were sent to search continuously, which made Wuning County uneasy and panic.
Although Monk Kongjue was not in a fight with the world, he could not bear the ordinary people being harassed like this. He went to the government office to persuade Zhou Lichun. However, before he saw the person, he was driven out by the constable. He had to think of fundamentally solving the problem and finding the real murderer to avoid the suffering of harassment from the people.
He found out where the three eunuchs were found when they died, and immediately went over to investigate in detail. After checking, he found that it was definitely not the place where the three eunuchs died, but they should have died somewhere else and were thrown over.
Although Monk Kongjue has profound Buddhism and profound skills, he really knows nothing about catching the murderer. He spent several days without any clues.
Just one night, he was sitting by the river and was worried about this matter. In his powerful thoughts, he suddenly "saw" a man in black wearing a black iron mask walking in a canoe. His behavior was strange and strange. It immediately made Monk Kongjue alert. He felt that he had some relationship with the deaths of these three eunuchs. He wanted to find out the traces of the man in black, so he followed him quietly, preparing to see what he did.
Monk Kongjue has such profound skills, almost the same as Sima Yuanji in his heyday. How could the man in black find out that he still rowed his own boat.
Monk Kongjue used his extremely brilliant light skills and followed him on the waves. The man in black didn't notice it all the way. He took the distance and moved farther and leaned against the shore on the deserted island. Seeing that many boats had stopped on the shore, he rushed to the mountain and watched the strange body movement flashing in the jungle, as if he was very familiar with this section of the road. After a while, he disappeared.
When Monk Kongjue saw the man in black coming here, he stopped on the river from afar. He hesitated and following the man in black privately had violated his original wish. It seemed a bit unreasonable to ask him to follow him to the island.
Maybe he is a monk, and it is a bit unpleasant to follow others secretly.
Just as Monk Kongjue was hesitating, he suddenly felt a strong and gloomy resentment burst out on the island. The resentment was so deep that it seemed to come from hell. He was shocked, regardless of whether he secretly followed others or whether he was against his Buddhist heart, and immediately rushed over and prepared to subdue the resentment ghost. However, this resentment came quickly and disappeared quickly, and disappeared in just a quarter of an hour.
The target suddenly disappeared again, and Monk Kongjue stopped in place, and was about to explore the resentment again, suddenly a corpse was found in the woods. It seemed that it was less than a month old, in his thirties, wearing a linen cloth, and his expression was terrified and horrified when he died, as if he had seen something terrible.
Why are there corpses here? Monk Kongjue did not dare to be careless. When checking the wound of the corpse, he found a famous post that clearly stated "Hometown, Jiujiang City, Loujiaji..."
This discovery gave Monk Kongjue some clues. After preparing to deal with this matter, he went to Jiujiang City to find out, but found that someone was fighting fiercely on the river, one of which was Zhu Qingsheng.
Seeing that although he didn't understand why Zhu Qingsheng appeared here, when he saw that he was fine, Monk Kongjue breathed a sigh of relief, but found that the person who fought desperately with them was a disciple of the Zhong family. How strange it was that the two of them belonged to the Zhengdao Zhong family and Maoshan sect, and had a marriage-related relative. How could they fight? The two groups almost tried their best and would never give up until they died.
Just as he was hesitating whether to show up, Zhu Qingsheng had already left with someone, and the rest was surrounded by the Zhong family's children. He was about to be killed, but he finally couldn't help but appear and rescued him.
After Zhan Li told him the truth, and Monk Kongjue understood the truth.
Later, he separated from Zhan Li at Changting. Monk Kongjue remembered the location of the famous post on the dead body and rushed to Loujiaji, but found that it had turned into a ruin, and the whole village had not spared any life.
Monk Kongjue was shocked and sad, so he stayed at Loujiaji to recite the Buddha's Dharma silently to save the wronged souls who died in vain. Unexpectedly, he met Sima Yuanji later. Both of them had not met for twenty years, and they were very surprised to meet here. Sima Yuanji had probably told Monk Kongjue about the experiences of his disciple Zhu Qingsheng over the past few days. These things were too complicated. Even though Sima Yuanji briefly said it, it was still said that it was evening when he thought of his disciple Zhu Qingsheng who had made an appointment to meet in the City God Temple, and he came with Monk Kongjue.
Zhu Qingsheng heard the whole thing and couldn't help but bow deeply and said in a respectful voice: "The master is compassionate, and the boy is really ashamed."
Monk Kongjue sighed: "After all, I was busy in vain. Nothing was done, so I made fun of you."
When Sima Yuanji came in, he found that the little disciple was dressed in disheveled clothes, as if he had just experienced a fight, and asked, "Qing'er, look at your appearance, have you fought with someone else just now?"
Zhu Qingsheng didn't expect to be seen by his master. He thought of killing the man in black away, and he said in detail what had just happened with a little pride and excitement.
After Zhu Qingsheng finished speaking, he thought his master Sima Yuanji would be happy for him, so he praised him for a few words. He looked at his master with great anticipation and nervousness, but found that his master was looking at him silently, and suddenly sighed and said nothing.
In an inn in Jiujiang City, people were worried about the recent continuous murders and almost did not dare to go out. Inns that used to be full of inns are now sparse and there are not many guests.
Zhu Qingsheng has already lived in a room. The past few days of running around have made him exhausted and fell asleep after getting stuck on his pillow.
Monk Kongjue was sitting quietly in the room, and there were two "clicks" sounds at the door. Monk Kongjue smiled slightly and said, "Come in."
The wooden door creaked, Sima Yuanji slowly pushed open the door and walked in, his face feeling sad, as if he had something to do, so he sat opposite Monk Kongjue, hesitated for a while before saying, "Senior Brother, I am really sorry for visiting late at night, but there is something trapped in my heart, and I can't grasp it. I hope my senior brother will enlighten me."
Monk Kongjue clasped his hands together and said softly: "Amitabha, senior brother, we have been in friendship for many years. If you have anything to say, just say it."
