?
Chai Xian...Jingxin's eyes flickered, and he said calmly:
"Why is the donor here?"
Chai Xian frowned and asked back: "Why is the master here?"
Jingxin put away the golden bowl and stared at the man in black a few feet away:
"This poor monk and my junior brother Jingyuan lured the snake out of the hole and used the Buddhist Vajra magic to lure out the person behind the turmoil. This poor monk chased all the way to the mountain and met the donor by chance."
Speaking of this, the handsome monk clasped his hands together, his face full of compassion: "Amitabha, Donor Chai, put down the butcher knife, and turn back. "
Chai Xian said in a deep voice: "It turns out that the master, like other stupid people, has determined that I am the murderer."
Jingxin's face did not change, and he kept the posture of folding his hands, and said: "If the donor is not the murderer, why is he here?"
Chai Xian replied:
"After my adoptive father died, I was involved in a conspiracy, and someone deliberately framed me. Xiaolan also disappeared because of this. In order to find her and find out the murderer behind the scenes, I have been investigating secretly.
"Today, I happened to meet the master on the way to investigate the case."
At that moment, he told Jingxin about his experience in detail.
Chai Xian's handsome face was full of sincerity. When he spoke, he looked at Jingxin calmly, without dodging his eyes, and was frank and sincere.
Jingxin stared at him without blinking, and waited for him to finish, frowned and thought for a long time, and said:
"In fact, if you want to prove the donor's innocence, there is a simpler way.' "
Chai Xian's eyes lit up, and he asked: "Master, please speak."
Jingxin said slowly: "I can impose the precepts I have observed on Mr. Chai. Monks do not lie, so you cannot lie. When the time comes, you will know once you ask."
Chai Xian thought for a while and nodded: "This method is very good. If I am not the murderer, I hope the master can testify for me. I have met someone who is willing to believe me before, but I didn't expect..."
His face twisted for a moment, revealing hatred: "I didn't expect that he was a hypocritical and cruel villain who killed an innocent family of three."
Jingxin heard this and asked: "Before me, someone else saw you, who was it?"
Chai Xian shook his head: "I don't know him. He was leaning over an orange cat at the time. He claimed to be a casual cultivator passing through Xiangzhou, and believed that the case of the Chai family was full of doubts and the murderer was someone else."
"I got along well with this person, using a farmer as a contact point to pass on the news. But I didn't expect that the family of three was killed the next day. Except for him, no one knows where I used to hide. "
A stranger passed by here and possessed the orange cat...Jingxin pondered for a moment, suddenly revealed a look of realization, and said without asking any more questions:
"Donor Chai, don't tell lies."
After the voice fell, Chai Xian felt deafening, and a vast invisible force was exerted on him, making him sincerely believe that lying is an unforgivable crime.
If a person does not tell the truth, he cannot be called a person.
Jingxin asked: "Did you kill Chai Jianyuan?"
Chai Xian shook his head: "I didn't kill him."
Jingxin nodded slowly, not surprised by such an answer, and then asked: "It was you who controlled the zombies to attack Sanshui Town just now?"
Anyone who sees this message can get cash. Method: Follow the WeChat public account [].
Chai Xian still shook his head, his face sincere: "It wasn't me."
Hearing such an answer, Jingxin finally frowned, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. Taking advantage of the fact that the precept time had not yet expired, he asked:
"Do you know who killed Chai Jianyuan? Who attacked Sanshui Town?"
Chai Xian answered truthfully: "I suspect it was my aunt Chai Xing'er. The people who attacked Sanshui Town were her accomplices, that is, the person behind the scenes who has never appeared."
The "Precept" spell still had a moment, but Jingxin stopped asking. He lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, and said:
"Donor Chai, Buddhism is compassionate. Since I met you tonight, let's cut the Gordian knot and solve this matter at once."
Chai Xian asked cautiously: "Master, what do you plan to do?"
Jingxin said: "Take you back to confront Donor Chai Xing'er."
Chai Xian stepped back step by step and shook his head: "Master, I have withstood the test of "Precepts" and have a clear conscience, but how can you prove yourself?"
He didn't trust anyone, especially after experiencing the murder of Erya's family, his last trust in these outsiders was gone.
"Master, if you really want to clear my name, I can control a zombie to go with you, and you can summon all the heroes and officials in Xiangzhou to hold another demon-killing meeting. I will explain the matter clearly in public, and then you can testify for me.
"Tomorrow, I will control the zombie to the outside of Chai Mansion. Master, if you really want to, we will contact each other with the zombie tomorrow."
After that, Chai Xian retreated into the forest and planned to leave.
"It's better to turn back!"
At this time, a low voice came from behind, and an invisible and majestic force was applied to Chai Xian, making him instinctively turn around and return to the mountain stream.
A rope woven with gold thread sprang out from the sleeves of Jingxin Nayi, instantly binding Chai Xian.
Not only that, Chai Xian found that the ener in Dantian was like dead water, and no matter how he mobilized it, there was no reaction.
There was a rank difference between the two men, so it was easy for Jingxin to capture Chai Xian.
Outside Sanshui Town, in the dark night, the fire was blazing.
The monk Jingyuan held a torch and stood motionless on the roadside. His thin monk robe clung to his body in the night wind, outlining his muscular outline.
Jingyuan's ears moved slightly, looking at the dark night ahead.
After a while, two figures came out of the darkness, their outlines gradually became clear, and
the orange halo illuminated their faces.
They were Jingxin, who was wearing the same monk's robe, and Chai Xian, who was tied up
with dark golden ropes.
"This person is Chai Xian."
Jingxin said.
Jingyuan exhaled, and a smile appeared on his cold face: "Finally caught him, how is it?"
Jingxin's face was solemn, and he shook his head: "It was not him who killed Chai Jianyuan,
and it was not him who controlled the zombies to attack the town just now."
Jingyuan's eyes widened slightly, as if he was very surprised: "How is it possible."
Jingxin nodded first, and then smiled: "But our guess is right."
He looked back at Chai Xian.
Jingyuan immediately understood what his senior brother meant, and his face was full of joy,
and he said in a voice transmission:
"Is Chai Xian really the host of the dragon energy?"
Jingxin nodded and said: "And he is one of the nine crucial dragon energies."
They cannot extract dragon energy, and even need to use magic tools to see dragon energy, but there are rules to follow to find the host of dragon energy.
The host of dragon energy will get "good luck" in a short period of time, rise rapidly, get
adventures or do great things, and will not be unknown. Among them, the representative figure is Xu Qian'an, the silver gong of Dafeng.
Therefore, the two came to Xiangzhou and heard that Chai Xing'er had convened a demon- slaying conference. The case of Chai Mansion had caused a sensation in the city. Jingxin and Jingyuan speculated that Chai Xian was most likely the host of the dragon energy.
"If so, Brother, immediately convert Chai Xian into a monk and hand him over to Master or Duqing Luohan, who will take him back to the Western Regions."
Jingyuan's face was excited: "It's better to put such a person in a safe place."
Jingxin nodded, then shook his head, and said in a serious voice:
"I just tried it. This person is too obsessed and it is difficult to convert him immediately, unless you help him find out the case. In addition, Brother, don't forget that Xu Qi'an is also in Xiangzhou. I was just about to discuss this with you."
Jingyuan's face was serious.
"There are two ways in front of us now:
"One, take Chai Xian and hide him. At most two days, Uncle Dunan will be able to rush to
Xiangzhou. By then, the overall situation will be settled, but Xu Qi'an will be scared away.
"Second, take Chai Xian back to Chai Mansion, confront Chai Xing'er, and investigate the
case."
Jingyuan understood: "And Li Lingsu is also in Chai Mansion, he must have tried his best to inform Xu Qi'an, we can take the opportunity to lure Xu Qi'an out."
They had already found out Li Lingsu's identity.
Jingxin nodded and said helplessly: "Although I don't know how he is proficient in several
kinds of Gu techniques, it is indeed difficult, and we can't find him. We can only use this conspiracy to lure him into the trap."
Here, the brothers need to make a choice, is the dragon qi host more important, or is the
Buddha more important?
The answer is self-evident. Jingyuan transmitted the message: "It's worth a try to use Chai Xian as bait. Xu Qian'an's
methods are cunning, but his real combat power is not as good as that of the fourth rank. We can take this opportunity to subdue him. If he doesn't come, we won't lose anything." After the discussion, Jingxin turned around, clasped his hands together towards Chai Xian,
and said:
"Donor Chai, I will take you back to the Chai Mansion. I will use the "discipline" to ask Donor Chai Xing'er. Then, the truth will be revealed."
Chai Xian sighed and looked back at Jingxin: "Do I have any choice? I just hope that the master will do what he says."
In a cellar where vegetables are stored in the Chai Mansion.
Li Lingsu's Yin Shen came to the door of the cellar and saw a ginger cat lying on the ground
sleeping.
"Senior?"
He shouted, but the ginger cat ignored him and looked behind the door.
Li Lingsu understood and easily passed through the locked door and entered the cellar. In the
dark environment, he "saw" a sitting figure.
"Senior, I have asked Chai Zhong and Chai Kai."
Li Lingsu said.
He relayed the conversation in the dream to Xu Qian in detail.
Except for Chai Xian's extreme personality, there was no useful information at all...Xu Qian'an
muttered in his heart, but he was calm on the surface and said:
"I know."
Li Lingsu nodded gently and said goodbye.
In the dark environment, Xu Qian'an sat cross-legged on the ground. The reason why he chose
this cellar to store vegetables was that it was not far from the southern courtyard of Chai
Mansion and within the range covered by his heart poison. Silently, all animals in this area woke up at the same time.
They include but are not limited to mice, snakes, dogs, cats, insects...Among them, the main
forces are insects, mice and snakes, which live in holes in the wall or deep in the foundation. The largest number and the most hidden.
As for cats and dogs, they can only wander outside the house, and what they can find out is
limited. House snakes woke up from hibernation and wandered in dark and hidden corners. Rats crawled out of holes and crawled between beams. Insects even "paraded" on a large scale.
At this moment, Xu Qiyan felt that his soul was split into countless fragments, each fragment corresponding to an animal.
"My head hurts so much. I can only hold on for five minutes at most..." Under normal circumstances, the heart poison master manipulates the herd of animals by
simply giving orders to drive the herd to attack the enemy. This does not cause too much
burden on itself.
For someone like Xu Qiyan, it is a delicate operation. It is no problem to control a few animals.
Once the number increases, the burden on the soul is extremely large. "Fortunately, there are not many courtyards in the South Courtyard. After five minutes, whether there is any harvest or not, I will interrupt the control..."
Li Lingsu's soul has been out of the body for a long time, and it is extremely exhausted. After
returning, he immediately climbed onto the bed and fell asleep with the beauty in his arms. In a daze, he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
After a while, Chai Xing'er's voice, which was a little angry because she was disturbed from sleeping, rang in her ears: "What's the matter?"
"Aunt, Master Jingxin and Master Jingyuan are back and want to see you."
The maid's voice was strange.
Chai Xing'er frowned slightly: "Why can't we wait until tomorrow?" The maid replied in a low voice: "The two masters also brought back Chai... Chai Xian."
Chai Xian?! Li Lingsu woke up instantly, and then heard her confidante beside her silent for a moment, and her voice was hoarse and soft:
"Please ask the two masters to go to the inner hall, I will go there immediately." After that, Chai Xing'er immediately lifted the quilt, put on her clothes at a very fast speed, picked up the jade hairpin, and simply tied a bun.
After doing all this, she turned back to look at Li Lingsu who had opened his eyes.
The latter frowned, his eyes were tired, and he seemed to be drunk. He pinched his eyebrows
and said:
"Xing'er, I'll go with you."
Chai Xing'er nodded, but couldn't wait any longer, and said: "I'll go to the inner hall first."
This is what Li Lingsu wanted: "Okay!"
After Chai Xing'er left the room, he immediately left his body and rushed to the cellar where
Xu Qian was.
.......
At this time, except for the guards on night patrol, everyone in the Chai Mansion had basically
rested.
Most of the houses in the South Courtyard were for storing books, weapons, and some
utensils, and there was also an ancestral hall.
Not many people lived in this area.
It only took Xu Qian'an two minutes to "spy" all the rooms in the South Courtyard and found
nothing unusual.
"There is only one ancestral hall left to explore..."
He controlled the snakes, insects, rats and ants and headed towards the ancestral hall.
At this time, Xu Qi'an sensed something and first "saw" Li Lingsu's Yin Spirit through the orange cat guarding outside.
The next second, the Holy Son's Yin Spirit passed through the cellar door and appeared in
front of him.
"Senior, Jingxin and Jingyuan have captured Chai Xian."
