Chapter 995 Connected again?

Several children, including Jing Kong, didn't think much about it. What happened in the past two days was difficult for them to digest.

Li Chengqi originally maintained a theatrical attitude towards this matter. It was none of my business anyway.

But it’s different now, okay, if you dare to hit our Yiyi, I have to find it out for you today!

Again, Li Chengqi is always indifferent to things that have nothing to do with him. Just ask him, yes, yes, yes, please help him?

Sorry, my phone is out of gas, that's all.

However, once it involves his acquaintances, the situation is completely different.

Sending a few children to Princess Mingzhu's side will be protected by the imperial guards. Unless the murderer has the skills of Shen Qingluo, the master of Tianjue Palace, there is no way he can succeed against the iron-barrel-like defense.

Yang Yiyi then led Wu Shaoyi out of the small courtyard without much explanation.

If that person comes again, there will definitely be no problem based on the abilities of the two of them. If it doesn't work, just use the sound skill to roar, "That bald donkey!" ’, I’m afraid all the monks from Jingci Temple will have to come here...

Therefore, Yang Yiyi is still not as thoughtful as Li Chengqi.

Li Chengqi told them his guess, and especially told Yang Yiyi how to proceed based on Xuan Bei's reaction later. After that, the two found Xuan Bei's meditation room, knocked on the door and entered.

Xuanbei is not young anymore. He had been reciting sutras all night last night and was still troubled by Xuannan's death in the morning. When Yang Yiyi and the two came to find him, Master Xuanbei was supposed to be taking a nap. When he saw the two of them When I arrived, I had to cheer up and hide the fatigue in my eyes.

"The two heroines suddenly came to visit, why?"

"Master Xuanbei, I have disturbed you by visiting so rashly. I hope you will forgive me."

Yang Yiyi cupped her fists and said:

"The two of us are here now. We have some questions that we hope Master Xuanbei can answer."

"Nvxia Yang, if you have any questions, just ask. The poor monk will tell you everything he knows."

Maybe he wasn't sure what the two people meant by coming to him, but Xuanbei's performance was fine at least for now.

Yang Yiyi stopped being polite and asked directly according to the rhetoric Li Chengqi rehearsed for her:

"Master Xuanbei, may I ask, what is the relationship between the young monk Jingkong and the host?"

As soon as these words came out, Xuanbei's eyelids twitched.

"Why did Miss Yang say this?"

"The host's care for Jingkong has gone beyond the elders' care for his disciples. I also found out that Master Xuanku, who was killed in the morning, also secretly taught Jingkong martial arts. Is there something in this..."

Wu Shaoyi also helped:

"Master Xuanbei, you are the only person with perfect witness in the whole matter. We believe that you are not the murderer of Master Xuannan, so we came to you to ask questions."

"You two heroines are overly worried. The host brother just sees good clearance qualifications..."

Yang Yiyi interrupted:

"Master Xuanbei, you don't seem to find it strange."

Yang Yiyi asked why the host valued the cleanliness so much, while Wu Shaoyi helped by saying, we believe you are not the murderer of Xuan Nan.

From the perspective of outsiders who don't know the inside story, the two are completely unrelated things, but on the other hand, only those who know the inside story know the connection.

If Xuanbei didn't know the inside story, he should have said, 'What's the relationship between the two? ’ or something similar, but he said, ‘The host brother just sees good clearance qualifications’.

You guessed it right, he really knew the connection between the two.

Xuanbei was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly:

"The two heroines are quick in thinking, but the poor monk is indeed old."

"Master Xuanbei, monks don't lie. Please don't fool us."

"Amitabha, this is not something that cannot be said to others, but...hey!"

Xuanbei sighed heavily:

"Well, since the two heroines want to know, the poor monk will speak out boldly."

He said:

"This started almost forty years ago. At that time, the ten countries in the Central Plains were in war, and the Northland was also about to start. The world was not peaceful, and there were people fleeing everywhere."

Good guy, let’s start from the beginning. It was forty years ago.

"At that time, there was an endless stream of people coming to Jingci Temple. Most of them were ordinary people who could not survive. They hoped to make a living as a monk. Poor monks were also one of them."

It should be said that most monks of the Xuan generation came from this way.

"The host brother was once an officer in the Yuezhou Kingdom. He fought many foreign battles with great military exploits. He was also ruthless and ruthless. He was given nicknames without hesitation."

It probably means not leaving an inch of grass behind, it's really ruthless.

"However, the cycle of nature brings unfavorable retribution. The presiding brother killed countless enemies, and his hands were stained with the blood of innocent people. And his family was also killed by the enemy."

If you kill my people, I will kill you too. There is no end to it.

"A venomous snake is seven inches long, let alone a human being? Only when the host brother returned home did he find that his family had been broken up and everyone was dead. At that moment he deserted."

"Could it be that you have put down your butcher knife?"

"Exactly."

Xuanbei continued:

"When it was time to return to the army at midnight, the senior brother in charge did not go back and was treated as a deserter. After hearing this, I was confused for a while and drifted to my Jingci Temple. Since then, I have been focusing on worshiping Buddha."

If outside pilgrims knew that the kind-hearted host master actually had such a past, I don’t know what they would think.

Wu Shaoyi interrupted:

"Is the murdered Master Xuanku the brother of the presiding master?"

Xuanbei glanced at Wu Shaoyi in surprise:

"They are half-brothers. How did the Warrior Hero know that?"

"It's nothing serious. It's just that the ear and eye shapes of the host master and Xuannan master are very similar."

If there is no blood relationship, the ear and eye shapes will not be exactly the same. We often say that children look like their fathers, but in fact, it is because of the ears and eyes.

But this matter is not as unique as fingerprints, so Wu Shaoyi has always been just guessing.

"In this case, Jingkong is probably also related to the host master."

"As the lady said."

Xuan Bei explained:

"When the host brother returned to his hometown, he thought his family was broken up, but in fact his little daughter was still alive at the time. She was rescued by people from the same hometown who fled. After many inquiries, he even found the host brother and came to visit. But... Alas, maybe he was seriously injured when he was a child, and his body was not good, so he passed away at a young age. There was a disaster again, and the husband's family fled, and some starved to death, so they could only ask someone to send Jingkong to Jingci Temple for care."

Severe drought?

Quzhou!

Crap, it's really connected!

This is why the host gave special treatment to a few children, and the others were just taking advantage of him. The purpose was to kill Jingkong.

The same was true for the late Master Xuannan. Jingkong was also his grandson. If the grandfather didn't take care of him, who would?

Jingkong himself didn't seem to know the whole story.

But it doesn't matter whether Jingkong knew or not. What's important is that Xuanbei's words have completely proved that the motive for killing was to compete for the position of host.

The real motive for killing is probably revenge.
