Chapter 555 Seven Lone Pine Songs
There was no sound in the wooden house. Jingkong said again, but he still refused to listen to the response. The old monk frowned and suddenly reached out, pushed open the wooden door, and walked in quickly.
Seeing that Jingkong was slightly abnormal, Qi Ning thought that the other party had not allowed him to go in yet, so he couldn't follow him, but he felt that the situation was different, so he couldn't help but follow him into the wooden house.
The wooden house is also very spacious, and the light projected from the window makes the wooden house look quite bright. Under the bed on the left, there is an ancient wooden table, sitting cross-legged beside the wooden table, facing away from Qi Ning, and sitting down was a golden futon.
After Jingkong entered the house, he saw the man and did not dare to act rashly. He clasped his hands and said, "Senior Brother, I'll pay my respects to you!"
Qi Ning thought that this person should be Master Kongzang, the host of Daguangming Temple. He also took two steps forward, stood beside Jingkong, and bowed: "My younger brother Qi Ning, I have seen Master Kongzang!"
The monk sitting cross-legged still did not turn around and remained as motionless as a mountain.
Qi Ning was a little strange, thinking that Master Kongzang's airs were too big, and suddenly heard Jingkong say in a deep voice: "No!" The figure fell lightly to the monk like a light cloud, and reached out to the man's shoulder. Qi Ning saw that the man had fallen to the ground on one side of his body.
Qi Ning was shocked. After seeing the monk lying on his side, his body turned over. His chest was already broken, bloody and bloody. The monk's eyes were wide open, his pupils were no longer in any spirit, his face was pale, and there was no trace of blood. He seemed to have died.
Qi Ning's body was shocked.
The scene before him was even more surprised than when he knew that Lu Shanghe was framed by Xiang Baiying in Xichuan.
Daguangming Temple is the world's number one temple, and Master Kongzang is even more a person who has reached the peak of both status and fame in the world. However, such a martial arts master died here.
Jingkong had always been kind-hearted, but at this moment he was shocked and didn't look at Qi Ning. He actually rose up and rushed out of the window on the wooden table. Qi Ning only saw that Jingkong had a strange body technique. He walked around the wooden house and finally came in from the window again, with a cold expression. He squatted beside the dead old monk, staring at the wound on the old monk's chest, without saying a word.
The wooden house was silent as if it was dead. Qi Ning hesitated for a moment, and finally approached and whispered: "Master Jingjingkong!"
Jingkong then looked up and Qi Ning asked, "Should we call people over? Master Kongzang was killed, this!"
Jingkong shook his head and said, "This is not Senior Brother Abbot, but Senior Brother Jingchen!"
"Ah?" Qi Ning was stunned again, then frowned, thinking that Jingkong was not going to bring him to meet Master Kongzang, but why did he become Senior Brother Jingchen? He couldn't help but ask, "Who is this master?"
"He is the first Baihui Pavilion." Jingkong looked solemn: "In the Great Guangming Temple, there is no one to reach the Buddhist practice. Although his martial arts skills are not as good as the Abbot's Senior Brother, even the Abbot's Senior Brother is willing to give up the disadvantage in terms of Buddhism. Among the Thirteen Monks of Guangming, he is second only to the Abbot's Senior Brother!"
Qi Ning thought to himself that this was also a monk, and was glad that Master Kongzang died here, but even so, the first Baihui Pavilion, which ranked second among the Thirteen Monks of Light, died in the Great Guangming Temple. This was also a shocking event. He frowned and said, "How could Master Jingjingchen be killed here?"
Jingkong pondered for a moment before saying, "We have just passed the Prajna Platform, do you still remember?"
Qi Ning nodded and Jingkong said, "You go to Prajna Platform immediately, find any disciple, and ask him to go to Cihang Temple to find the monks of Jing generation. Then he said that something happened to Gulin Dushe. Remember, don't leak this matter, and don't tell anyone in detail." After that, he took a string of beads and threw it over. Qi Ning reached out to take it, knowing that the beads were evidence. He knew that the matter was urgent, and did not hesitate and turned around and went out.
He ran all the way to the Prajna Platform and saw a middle-aged monk. The rosary immediately showed off. The monk hurriedly put his tribute together. Qi Ning told Master Jingkong's instructions. The middle-aged monk did not delay and immediately turned around and left in a hurry. Qi Ning returned to the Gulin Dushe. He only saw that Jingkong had already placed the body on a wooden couch at the corner of the house and was chanting the scriptures in a low voice.
Qi Ning came in and waited until Jingkong finished reciting the scriptures, and whispered: "Master, I have already told you."
Master Jingkong nodded slightly and said, "I'm working hard."
"Master, this is your affairs in Da Guangming Temple. You shouldn't have asked too much." Qi Ning hesitated, but asked: "But how could Master Jingchen be killed here? This is Da Guangming Temple, with strict garrisons. Master Jingchen is one of the Thirteen Monks of Guangming. His martial arts are great. Who can kill him here?"
Jingkong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Marquis, you came to Daguangming Temple this time, but is it related to Xiang Baiying, the leader of the Beggars' Sect?"
Qi Ning was surprised. After he went up the mountain, he did not mention it at all. He really didn't know that the old monk knew. Could this old monk be able to penetrate the hearts of the people and said in surprise: "How can Master Master know?"
"As far as the old monk knows, there is rumors that the leader of the Black Lotus Sect killed the leader of the Xiang Gang." Jingkong said: "Now Xichuan is quite chaotic, and the Marquis has just returned from Xichuan in Xichuan. It is said that the Marquis and the Gang Master seem to have a lot of connections. This time, going up the mountain should be related to the leader of the Xiang Gang."
Qi Ning thought that this Daguangming Temple is worthy of being a master of martial arts and is really clear about the affairs of the world. He nodded and said, "The master guessed it is right. I was entrusted by someone to meet Master Kongzang and bring a word."
Jingkong nodded slightly, but Qi Ning frowned and said, "The master brought me here to see Master Kongzang. Why did Master Dikongzang become Master Jingchen?"
"This is indeed the place where Senior Brother Jingchen practices meditation on weekdays." Jingkong said: "But half a month ago, Senior Brother Jingchen was sitting in meditation."
Qi Ning was a little confused, but fortunately, Master Jingkong had already said: "The old monk took you to see is not the abbot, but the senior brother Jingchen. The abbot is not convenient for the guests. All matters in Daguangming Temple are currently represented by Senior Brother Jingchen."
Qi Ning understood and said, "Master, from the beginning, the master was going to make the younger generation mistakenly think that Master Jingchen was the host of Kongzang?" He suddenly felt a little dissatisfied. He had never seen Kongzang presidency. If Jingchen really pretended to be Kongzang today, it would be difficult for him to tell.
Daguangming Temple is the leader of the Buddhist sect, but they don’t expect that they would deceive themselves like this.
Master Jingkong obviously saw the unhappiness in Qi Ning and said together: "The Marquis does not need to be bothered. The old monk told the truth that the abbot's senior brother was seriously ill. Now, among the thirteen monks of the Light, six of them are trying their best to rescue him. Don't talk about the Marquis, even if they are old monks, they will not be able to see the abbot. The abbot's senior brother is currently unable to handle any matters, but all kinds of things cannot be delayed, so it is a helpless move to deal with it by Senior Brother Jingchen."
"Master Kongzang is suffering from severe illness?" Qi Ning said in surprise: "Master Jingkong, what's going on?" Thinking of the scene where Da Guangming Temple is facing a great enemy, I wondered if this is related to the severe illness of Kungzang. Master Kongzang is very skilled in martial arts, and there are many experts in Da Guangming Temple. There are also many skilled medical skills. I really can't figure out what the disease can make Kongzang unable to handle even the affairs in the temple.
Master Jingkong had no explanation, but said, "The Marquis should go down the mountain as soon as possible. It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." When he said this, there was a look of worry in his eyes.
"Master Jingkong, haven't you asked me to stay in the temple for two days just now. Do you listen to your preaching scriptures?" Qi Ning observed his expression and naturally saw something strange. He knew that the old monk Jingkong was vague, and there must be a huge secret behind him. He asked in a low voice: "Do you know who is harmed by Master Jingchen?"
Before Jingkong could speak, he suddenly heard a wailing sound that seemed to be there and there was no place. Jingkong looked out of the door. The monk's robe was fluttering, and Qi Ning followed him immediately. He just heard the sound that was there and there was no place, and he could not determine the direction, but Jingkong seemed to have broken the direction and walked quickly towards the northwest direction. His steps were hurried. Qi Ning followed behind him and saw his light body movements. He thought that the old monk was not seventy or sixty-five, but his movements were light and fast. The Thirteen Monks of Light were well-known. He was able to keep up with him and not be able to distance himself by Jingkong.
He was full of questions at this moment, but he was wondering who was the one who was harmed by Master Jingchen. Jingkong said that Jingchen was second among the Thirteen Monks of Light, and that martial arts would not be under Jingkong, but he was killed in the Gulin Dushe. How great is the murderer's martial arts?
After Qi Ning entered the house, he also carefully glanced at the house. There was no trace of fighting in Gulin Dushe. It can be seen that Master Jingchen was killed even before he had a fight with the other party. Thinking of this, the murderer's martial arts was even more terrifying.
Jingkong ran out like a gust of wind, suddenly stopped and looked forward. Qi Ning followed him and looked at him, and suddenly changed his expression.
I saw that there were several corpses lying in front of me, all of which were monks from Guangming Temple. What was terrifying was that these corpses had no heads, only bare torso, and blood was flowing on the ground, which was extremely terrifying. Jingkong put his hands together and recited the scriptures silently. Then he closed his hands and walked slowly forward. Qi Ning followed lightly. After passing the corpses, he felt his stomach and intestines clutch tightly. The smell of blood rushed in and almost vomited out.
Following the path, there is a cliff. There is a pine tree on the edge of the cliff. It is facing the wind to welcome guests. From the discovery of the corpse to the edge of the cliff, there are actually six or seven corpses in a short distance. It is still ten steps away from the welcoming pine. Jingkong stopped again, and the sound of chanting scriptures sounded again.
Qi Ning looked at the Yingke Pine, turned his face suddenly, and spit out bitter water from his throat.
I saw that the pine branches of the welcoming pine were actually running through the heads. The seven heads were penetrated by the seven pine branches on the welcoming pine. When my eyes opened, they all faced here. The bare head proved that these heads were all owned by the headless corpses just now, and each head was still dripping blood downwards. This scene was like a nightmare, extremely terrifying-
