According to the description of Lao Li, the first witness to one night's fishing, the fish and shrimp first started to move in the early morning. At that time, he thought it was an earthquake. Later, he saw rising clouds and mist on a small island in the middle of the river.
In the clouds and mist, I seemed to see a man and a woman driving away in the clouds.
After the two men left, the waves subsided.
Lao Li deduced that maybe the earthquake was caused by the immortals performing humane rituals on the island, which caused the earth to shake.
Patrolman Jingyesi was speechless at Lao Li's statement, and advised Lao Li to fish less, stay up less late, and watch less bad things to avoid having yellow eyes.
Although they did not accept Lao Li's statement, they still went to the small island in the middle of the river to investigate. When they looked at it, they found the bodies of two Taoist priests.
Moreover, these two Taoist priests were still wearing Taoist robes from Longhu Mountain, so this was a big deal.
Longhushan is the leader of Taoism in the south, and his status as a disciple is naturally rising. His death inexplicably in this place must not be a trivial matter.
It didn't take long for Chen Huaiyuan to receive the news. He was lucky. Qu Jing happened to come to Jingyesi. She wanted to relax and find some monsters to kill. When this happened, she also came over.
.
Although she was the highest official present, Qu Jing had little experience in this kind of thing, so she could only stand and watch.
Chen Huaiyuan was still waiting for her to give orders. Seeing that she was silent the whole time, he knew that this was a real hands-off shopkeeper.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, all the leaders of Jingyesi in Xingsha City were Buddhists, but the things happening at the Xingsha City stalls were getting bigger and bigger each time.
If not, meeting such a Buddhist leader, his life would be much more comfortable than it is now.
Chen Huaiyuan looked at the Buddha seal on the palm of one of the dead men, and then saw the small words under the other man, and felt his scalp numb.
This is when Taoism and Buddhism are at odds.
Chen Huaiyuan did not dare to move the two corpses, so he turned to Qu Jing and said: "Chief Inspector, this matter is too involved and is no longer something that our Jingyesi Division can handle. I suggest informing Long Hu about what's going on here."
Mountain, let them handle it.”
This is the safest method, at least Yasushi will not be held responsible.
Qu Jing had no objection to this, and Chen Huaiyuan added: "I don't know if the murderer will still be there, so I would like to ask the chief constable to guard the place."
"OK."
Qu Jing just didn't want to go home. She didn't know how to face Ji Yi, so she came out on official business and it would be good to stay in Jiangxin Island for a while.
Chen Huaiyuan hurriedly went back to send a message. One letter was written above, telling his superiors what happened here. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism was too closely related. They may not need support from their superiors, but they must let their superiors know what happened here.
The other letter was sent to Longhu Mountain, asking them to send someone to pick up the body.
This time, we have to wait at least three to five days. Fortunately, the weather is cool now and the body will not rot so quickly.
Coincidentally, Chen Huaiyuan was about to send a letter when his subordinates came to report that there was an old Taoist at the door and wanted to see him.
Chen Huaiyuan stopped by to meet him, and saw an old man with white hair and kind eyes standing at the gate of Jingyesi. Although he looked old, he still had an air of immortality. At first glance, he was a true Taoist.
Looking at what he was wearing, he was wearing a white background and yellow collar Taoist robe, which was exactly the same as the Taoist robe of Longhu Mountain.
Chen Huaiyuan quickly said respectfully: "I have met my senior. Is he the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain?"
"You don't have to be polite, little friend. I'm a pure-hearted man. I'm here to ask you for help with something. I wonder what your last name is?"
When Chen Huaiyuan heard the Taoist name, he was even more surprised. The Taoist name of the Qing generation from Longhushan was such a big shot.
"The Taoist priest has killed this junior. My surname is Chen and my first name is Huaiyuan. The Taoist priest can just call me Xiao Chen. I don't know why I've been here all this time."
"My matter is a long story, so I'm not in a hurry. Seeing that my friend is in a hurry, it seems that there are still important things to attend to. How about doing your own thing first?"
Speaking of this, Chen Huaiyuan quickly took out the letter in his hand and said: "There is an island in the middle of the river dozens of miles outside the city, and two disciples of Longhu Mountain were killed on it. In fact, I just wanted to send a letter to Longhu Mountain. Since I said
Now that you are here, it will be the same as giving this letter to you."
Qingxin: "..."
Unexpectedly, Chen Huaiyuan was worried about Longhu Mountain. The old Taoist priest with immortal style was no longer calm and said quickly: "Take me there quickly."
As he spoke, he shot a talisman light at Chen Huaiyuan, who immediately took off and reached the air.
"Which way?"
"There."
Chen Huaiyuan pointed in the direction, and soon the old Taoist priest put his shoulder on his shoulder, and then there was a burst of lightning flight. For a ninth-grade monk, the feeling of taking off from Wuhu was really exciting.
Even though he landed smoothly on the small island in the middle of the river, Chen Huaiyuan's heart did not calm down for a while.
After Taoist Qingxin put Chen Huaiyuan down, he also saw the two dead disciples, and his face suddenly showed sadness.
"Ding Jing! Ming De!"
The two dead Longhushan disciples happened to be members of Qingxin's sect.
Seeing his disciple die in such a remote place, the old Taoist priest gnashed his teeth with hatred. His robes were windless and his white hair was slowly floating on his head.
He knelt down and saw the clues left by Yan Qingqiu and Lin Yi respectively, all pointing to Buddhism.
Logically speaking, the clues left by Lin Yi were outrageous. Master Huijue, as the leader of Buddhism in the Southern Dynasties, had no reason to kill a disciple of Longhu Mountain. However, at this time, Qingxin did not doubt this statement.
"Hmph, the Buddhist sect also wants to seek immortality from my Taoist sect. It's really too much of a deception."
Feeling extremely angry, he still cast two runes on the two dead flutes.
Although he could not recall what happened in the past, he could see the last scene the two disciples saw before they died through the remaining souls that escaped here.
Soon, the result appeared in his eyes.
In the fragmentary picture, he did not see a specific person, but he saw the light of the Buddha. Those who have such cultivation may not be truly enlightened, but they must be members of the Buddhist sect.
Qingxin looked at Chen Huaiyuan and said in a deep voice: "This little friend, as well as everyone from Jingyesi, thank you for taking care of my two disciples. I will take them back to the mountain immediately and come to visit again in the future."
"The Taoist priest is serious, this is our duty."
Chen Huaiyuan was polite, nodded Qingxin, picked up the two apprentices one by one, and flew into the air. Before leaving, he suddenly took a spiritual look at Qu Jing, but he didn't see anything.
The most urgent task is to let Buddhism know that Longhu Mountain is not something to be trifled with!
Also when Qing Xin returned to Longhu Mountain, the elders from many Taoist sects were doing the same thing.
Overnight, many disciples of the Taoist sect who were traveling abroad were brutally killed. Without exception, the dead were all killed by Buddhist magical powers.
Three days later, Lin Yi heard the latest information about the matter at home.
"Master Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain has sent a letter to Master Huijue of Jiming Temple, asking him to explain the killing of his disciples.
Oh, let me go, there’s no one who doesn’t suspect that this is false information, right?”
When Lin Yi learned about the new developments, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
Master Huijue, I really didn’t mean to trick you...
