Chapter 980 Ashes

The wars between the demon kingdoms sound very casual. Although they are not child's play, it is obvious that the monarchs of the seven demon kingdoms, including Viola, lack the minimum understanding of the seriousness of the war.

The reason for this situation is very simple, because the damage caused by their war is not serious.

From the perspective of being far ahead of the times, it is considered to be a hooligan. The local area is still in the cold weapon era. Even if there is magic, the firepower density cannot be compared with cannons.

The killing efficiency of the cold weapon era is very low, and the damage to the environment and economy is also very low. This is why everyone lacks the minimum respect for war when fighting.

In fact, it was not until World War I that humans on Earth realized that the wars in the industrial age far exceeded everyone's expectations, and World War II showed that humans already have the ability to smash everything they have, so they are naturally more cautious about war.

In other words, most of the reasons why Viola is fighting now are because of the Demon King God.

Since the return of the Demon God is inevitable, we must consider the new division of interests under the rule of the Demon God. After all, this eternal tyrant is a god, and it is impossible for a god to directly manage the mortal world.

To put it bluntly, it is a war for the right to speak in the future.

Li Chengxi can see this, but he doesn't care. He has no intention of ruling at all. That's just the imagination of mortals.

Just like you think God will be like this and that, and make complicated prayers every day to show piety, but in fact, the Lord doesn't care.

However, Li Chengxi has no intention of stopping it. On the one hand, Viola still has a national hatred and family hatred to be avenged, and on the other hand...

Fighting crickets is endless fun.

As usual, Viola only needs to take a glance occasionally, and there shouldn't be anything too troublesome.

Compared with the battle of the seven countries on Viola's side and the pursuit of the starship on Alyssa's side, Yang Yiyi's side seems very petty.

Or, it seems too delicate.

The whole thing has divided Jingci Temple into three groups now.

First, the monks of the Xuan generation. The new abbot must be among this group of people. Those who want to be the abbot will definitely take action.

Second, ordinary monks, in addition to grief, must also consider who they vote for, which is related to the development direction of Jingci Temple for a long time in the future.

Third, they are just watching the show, such as the fun-loving Princess Mingzhu and Yang Yiyi.

There must be a story here, but it has nothing to do with me, so I watch the show with great enthusiasm.

Princess Mingzhu is a typical one who wants to watch the show. Otherwise, when Zhang Han came and ran away laughing, the princess only needed to tell the palace guards to arrest him. It was obvious that she just wanted to watch the show, but I didn't get involved.

It was fortunate that the letter with bloody handprints was not seen by Princess Mingzhu before, otherwise I don't know how many tricks this princess would have caused.

The new abbot must be among the monks of the Xuan generation, and among the monks of the Xuan generation, there are four who are most promising.

The first is Master Xuanci, who is responsible for external affairs and often travels in the martial arts world. He is also the most skilled in martial arts among the monks of the Xuan generation. He personally led the team to suppress the Tianlang Sect in the past.

The second is Master Xuanbei, who spends most of his time in the temple and is mainly responsible for receiving pilgrims. Although he is not well-known in the martial arts world, he is still very famous in the hearts of pilgrims and other temple sponsors.

The third is Master Xuanku, who is in charge of logistics. He is responsible for the purchase and expenses of all the large and small items in the temple. He is the one who holds the account book. Without him, Jingci Temple would not be so well organized.

The last is Master Xuannan, who is said to be in charge of the Discipline Court. Although he is strict, he is also quite famous in the temple and his martial arts are second only to Xuanci.

The new abbot should appear among these four people. The other monks of the Xuan generation are either ordinary monks or have unlimited reputation.

As for who will be the abbot, Yang Yiyi, as an outsider, doesn't care. She just hopes that it will be chosen quickly, otherwise she won't know who to give the letter in her arms to.

But then again, it is true that we are purely watching the show in this matter, but we can't watch the show in confusion. Li Chengxi always keeps the idea of ​​"be careful of being used as a gun" for Yang Yiyi's actions.

You have to be careful when watching a show.

"Brother Li, are you sure there are clues here?"

"Not sure, but it's not a big deal to take a look."

After everyone went back to their own rooms, Yang Yiyi escaped from the princess's excitement by urinating and came to the entrance of the cave where the host had been in seclusion before.

The host died by cutting off his meridians, not a natural death as Xuanci led everyone to think.

Although we don't know the reason for his suicide, if we want to talk about clues, it must be possible in the place where he was in seclusion last.

Of course, as Li Chengxi said, it's just a possibility.

There is a door in this cave, and because no one uses it, the door is simply not locked.

Yang Yiyi pushed the door in, and as soon as she stepped in, she felt a cold air hitting her face like a slap.

The so-called retreat place of Jingci Temple is just a pure cave, and it is not a well-maintained cave. There is a lot of moisture inside, and the temperature is low. It is obviously not a very comfortable place.

It is really a pity that the abbot dares to enter this place for retreat at such an old age. Isn't he afraid of rheumatism?

After entering the door, there is a winding narrow road. In some places, you have to go sideways. No wonder the monks had such a hard time getting the abbot out.

Yang Yiyi took the flashlight and went about 20 to 30 meters deep into the cave. She saw a renovated stone chamber at the end.

At least she could distinguish the stone bed and stone table. On the stone platform on one side were neatly stacked monk robes and bedding. However, due to the high humidity, it felt greasy when she touched it.

Since she didn't see the first crime scene, she didn't know where the host died. But judging from the scriptures opened on the stone table and the burnt oil lamp, the host should have decided to cut off his meridians while reading.

It couldn't be that he was reading the scriptures and broke his defense.

There were some footprints nearby, which should have been left by the monks who entered later to carry the body of the host. Yang Yiyi walked around nearby. The scriptures were just the common Diamond Sutra, and she didn't see anything worth noting.

"On the left side of the table, yes, is there something there?"

Li Chengxi's side was pixelated, and the details were not clear. He only saw some shadows when he zoomed in.

Yang Yiyi squatted down and shone a flashlight:

"It looks like burnt ashes."

The ashes were stepped on by someone, leaving only a small piece of ashes that could barely be recognized as paper, otherwise it was no different from the dust on the ground.

Yang Yiyi wanted to reach out and turn the ashes over to see, but it broke when her fingers touched it.

"It looks like the ashes of something?"

"Maybe, an envelope?"

The paper of the envelope is relatively hard, while the letter paper is very soft in comparison, and nothing will be left after burning.

When it comes to envelopes, Li Chengxi immediately thought of the letter with a bloody handprint on the back at the funeral.

Perhaps there is a connection.
