Chapter 2395 What is the origin?

Bai Ruozhu and the others had been busy all morning, and it took a lot of effort just to apply medicine to the wounded.

When it was almost noon, a monk came from outside to report, "Donor, His Majesty the Emperor has come to visit the abbot."

Bai Ruozhu thought of the kind-faced emperor and felt a little unhappy. Is there any relationship between the shadow ninja and the emperor? Is this inexplicable fire related to him?

Thinking that the emperor was about to abdicate to the Buddha, Bai Ruozhu thought that if he was cruel enough to do these things, why not stay in his position for a few more years?

She was still thinking wildly, the emperor had arrived, everyone in the room knelt down and saluted, and those who were not seriously injured also got up and saluted.

Even Master Puru, who was most seriously injured, was still struggling. The Emperor hurried over and held him down, saying, "No need to be polite, just lie down and recuperate."

Bai Ruozhu and others bowed and retreated outside the door. With the people brought by the emperor, the room was really crowded.

When they arrived at the door, the second prince snorted disdainfully at Bai Ruozhu and the others, obviously displeased with them.

Bai Ruozhu really couldn't figure out how such a idiot was pushed up by Shenzong. No one with any sense would show his emotions on his face like this.

"Your Majesty." Master Puru called out with difficulty.

"Master, don't talk. You must take good care of yourself. If you have any difficulties, tell me. If you have any grievances, don't hold them back." The emperor's voice was not loud, but he was very gentle.

Master Puru nodded and did not force himself to speak anymore, but his eyes were filled with tears, and he was obviously very moved.

Probably because of the two appearances of the shadow ninja, Bai Ruozhu lost some affection for the emperor, and felt a little awkward at the moment.

She quietly looked at the second prince. Could it be that he sent those shadow ninjas?

But he will ascend to the throne next month, so why bother to make trouble? Even if he is a idiot, the people around him will not dissuade him at all, right?

She thought about Shenzong Yi again, but she felt that it was impossible. If Shenzong Yi wanted to do something, why did he go to Zhaoti Temple to attract attention?

The Emperor comforted Master Puru for a few words, then stood up and walked in front of Bai Ruozhu and the others.

"Master Jiang, Master Bai, please help me if there are more things to do this time." The emperor said and bowed very respectfully.

Bai Ruozhu and others hurriedly returned the gift, and the emperor said again: "I have not officially become a monk, but according to the rules, Master Puru is my senior brother. Thank you for saving him and the monks in the temple."

"His Majesty the Emperor is too polite. Now that we have encountered each other, we should help each other." Jiang Yichun said, "But can His Majesty the Emperor please lend me a moment?"

The emperor nodded, Jiang Yichun went to the side with him, but Bai Ruozhu and the others did not follow.

Going to the quiet side room, Jiang Yichun said: "I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor has received the news that a shadow ninja came to assassinate the abbot master last night."

The emperor's expression changed greatly, "What?"

Then he subconsciously glanced at the second prince next to him, and Jiang Yichun instantly understood that the emperor had handed over the shadow ninja into the hands of the second prince.

Before the emperor could speak, the second prince became anxious and said sternly: "That's nonsense! Are you just talking about shadow ninja?"

Jiang Yichun sneered, "We also killed a few people, and later dug out the bodies from the ground. At that time, Lord Xinye and a group of guards from your country saw it."

"Impossible!" the second prince shouted, "How can you capture the shadow ninjas, let alone kill them?"

"Your Highness, if you don't believe it, you can find out by asking Mr. Xinye to see the body." Jiang Yichun said calmly.

Seeing that Jiang Yichun didn't seem to be lying, the Emperor immediately stood up and said, "Where is Xinye? I'll go see him."

Soon the emperor took people away, saying they were going to General Akamatsu's mansion.

People who didn't know better thought that there was a conflict between the Emperor and General Akamatsu, and many people below became trembling with fear, because when there was a fight from above, it was the people below them who were unlucky.

…

In the Emperor's Palace, the eldest prince knelt down and said with an innocent face: "Father, it's really not me who did this. I just sent someone to count the number of people, and there are no missing people."

The emperor's face darkened, "Are those corpses fake? If others can't see it, is it possible that I won't come out?"

"Then my father just asks the Shadow Chief to come and inquire." The second prince said.

Shadow Chief is not the name of a person, it should be said to be the name of a position. Every generation has a Shadow Chief who manages the shadow ninjas, and he is also the most loyal to the Emperor.

Soon, a dark figure was summoned.

He was still underground outside the door. In order to show respect to the emperor, he got out of the ground when he reached the door.

His appearance was not like Bai Ruozhu and the others digging up the corpse. Even after he appeared, there was no broken spot on the ground. This is the magic of the Earth Escape Technique.

If it weren't for Bai Ruozhu's plan to invite you into the urn that day, and if Yuan Licheng hadn't happened to be able to restrain the Earth Escape formation, it would have been really difficult for them to catch the Shadow Ninja.

Shadow Chief entered the door and saluted respectfully. Then the Emperor gestured to him, and he responded with gestures. The communication between the two turned out to be special sign language.

It turns out that Ying Chang also had his tongue cut out and had no way of learning calligraphy. They even had little chance of contact with the outside world. Only certain sign languages, which each emperor will learn, can communicate with the shadow ninja and give orders.

"The number of people is really not small. Is there someone who has secretly raised a shadow ninja? How and where did he learn this secret technique?" The emperor muttered in a daze. He suddenly felt that it was really appropriate for him to abdicate at this time? Will it cause new waves?

Just three days after the fire at Shodaiji Temple, the Emperor and General Akamatsu's people were looking for the origin of those shadow ninjas, but there were no clear clues.

Master Puru finally spent more time awake, and his cough was much better. However, the burns were so severe that his face was almost unrecognizable.

"It's a pity that we couldn't find that suspicious fake monk." Xinye apologized in front of Master Puru, "It was my negligence that allowed him to escape."

"Sir, you don't have to blame yourself. Everyone wanted to save people in the situation at that time, which is right. Those who have done such evil things will go to Avici Hell and be punished by karma fire." Puru said slowly.

"I still hope to find some clues and seek justice for everyone in Zhaoti Temple. I will leave now." Xinye bowed and walked out.

When he went out, he happened to bump into Bai Ruozhu. He nodded slightly at her and his attitude was very friendly.

Bai Ruozhu stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling man, but also nodded.

After she entered the room and helped Master Puru change the medicine, Master Puru suddenly said: "You must really want to ask what that is, right?"

With a thought, Bai Ruozhu took the gold pendant in her hand and said, "I'm only keeping it for the master temporarily. It's time to return it to its original owner."
