Jingwen's house was on the inside of this row of quiet rooms. Lu Ning noticed that although Jingrui was wearing a pair of wooden slippers, he didn't make any noise in the corridor. If they all had this skill, it would not be easy to ask.
The reason why she chased her was because when she was observing on the roof, besides what was happening in the store, there were also a few onlookers around. Todd's disappearance and reappearance may not be clear to those below the line, but people slightly higher up must have noticed it. Then the person sent to monitor the situation should be an insider and would not enter the most dangerous area. Instead, he would just find a farther position and observe quietly.
Among the people Lu Ning saw, only one person left early, around the time when the red light in the room couldn't cover it up. At that time, the guards hadn't come yet, and the real danger inside hadn't been revealed yet. Most people still maintained a spectator attitude. Of course, there was something wrong with those who suddenly left at this time. However, Lu Ning followed this man's footsteps and tracked him down to a group of monks in clothing, which gave her a guess.
While she was sorting out her complicated thoughts, Jingrui had already knocked on Jingwen's door. Compared with Jingrui, Jingwen is slightly shorter and thinner, but has a very strong feeling. The monk opened the door and saluted Jingrui, then saluted Lu Ning and Di Leya in turn.
"Jingwen, these two ladies have something to ask. Is it convenient for you now?" Jingrui asked.
"No inconvenience." Jingwen smiled slightly and opened the door, allowing the three of them to walk in.
Sandalwood was burning in the house, and the layout was clean and tidy. It was impossible to deduce from the traces where he had been. Lu Ning simply sat down and asked straight to the point: "This monk, I want to ask about your whereabouts."
"The poor monk is just observing the world. He is everywhere. I don't know which place you are asking about?"
"Where did you go after nightfall and when you just came back here?"
Jingwen thought for a moment, and then replied: "The poor monk had some fast food at dusk, and then he smelled the night view of the suspended corridor or the unique scenery here, so he went up there, and then lingered there. He shouldn't be so indulged in it when he suddenly woke up. At that time, it was getting late, and I occasionally saw fire lights in the southeast. With the intention of saving people from water and fire, I waited for rescue. Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, the guards had already gone ahead and blocked the surrounding area. The poor monk was not allowed to enter, so he had to return Return."
Di Leya next to her was shocked when she heard it, but Lu Ning still accepted it well.
"In other words, you went to the suspended corridor and saw the fire, but you came back before arriving at the scene?"
"exactly."
This description is actually very vague, and it is obviously not enough as a testimony. However, Lu Ning is not really interrogating others. If someone really tells someone a detailed itinerary down to the second, I am afraid that the two people next to him will have objections.
"Monk, I have two more questions. I wonder if I can answer them truthfully?"
"Monks don't lie. If I know it, I will tell the truth." Jingwen smiled slightly.
"You and Master Jingrui are both monks in clothing. Why are you sitting quietly indoors while the other is wandering around the market?"
Dilea was stunned for a moment when she heard this question. She looked at Lu Ning and felt that it had nothing to do with what she asked before.
"The method we practice is a method of visualization. Only because the shapes we take are different, our actions and actions are different. What Jing Rui observes is my appearance. It is enough to have a quiet room, a place of heaven and earth, one person, and one mind. But what the poor monk observes is the appearance of all living beings. He tries to swim among all living beings and understands the various aspects of life. Only by taking all things as a mirror can he reflect his original mind. This is the difference of Tao."
Lu Ning nodded slightly, while Dilea stared, with an expression that probably meant she wanted to "speak humanly".
"Thank you for clearing up the confusion. Then for the second question, there should be many differences among monks. And you and Master Jingrui are both monks in clothing. I don't know how to explain this name?"
Jingwen listened and smiled lightly.
"As the world often says, one knot should correspond to one calamity. When the calamity is near, the success and virtue will be perfect. This is the monk in knots. However, we are actually traveling around the world, measuring the soil of the world with our feet, and we walk in this way. Just doing it for convenience has no profound meaning."
The tone of the Q&A between him and Lu Ning was calm, neither impatient nor impatient, nor did he feel guilty at all. There seemed to be nothing wrong with what he answered. Lu Ning had never studied Buddhism or anything like that, so even if there were questions, he wouldn't be able to tell.
However, this is enough.
"So, Master Jingrui, can you give me some advice?"
Lu Ning turned her head with a smile.
Jingrui lowered his head and chanted a Buddhist chant, then suddenly shot out one hand from under his ribs, with a golden light in his palm, and slammed Jingwen's chest, and shouted angrily from his mouth, like spring thunder on his tongue!
"Who is the thief! How dare you impersonate me as a monk in Yui!!"
Jingrui's sudden attack made Jingwen a little flustered. If it wasn't enough, he leaned back and put his hands together. Jingrui's palm hit him exactly three inches in front of him, but he couldn't make any progress.
Lu Ning rolled back, away from the place where the battle could affect her. At the same time, two pieces of parchment floated out of her hand and slid from both sides to Jingwen's back.
"Jing Rui! You and I have been together for a long time, why do you suddenly do this..." Jing heard that he had nothing to say, and just about to open his mouth, Jin Rui flicked his wrist and shattered the shackles in the air.
"Thieves! Do you think I can't tell what you're doing? If I hadn't asked you today, I might not have known that my companions around me had suffered an accident long ago! Tell me! Where is Jingwen now?"
Jingwen stood up with the help of the oscillating waves, still maintaining a peaceful smile on his face: "Jingwen... of course you have already gone to see my Buddha, Jingrui, and you two women, It’s a pity that why would you want to interfere in this matter?”
He nodded slightly, stretched out his hands from behind, and pulled out two snow-white bone knives. When Jingrui saw it, his eyes suddenly changed: "Broken Monk!"
"I thought it was not difficult to pretend to be a monk with my skills. Before you die, why don't you explain something to me? Jing Rui, what's wrong with my disguise?" "Jing Wen" asked with a smile.
"It starts after our conversation." Lu Ning said from behind.
She didn't ask those questions for anything else, but because she noticed Jingrui's abnormal mood. After all, this monk was still in the process of spiritual practice, and he couldn't achieve the state of being neither angry nor resentful. Therefore, she had only two purposes for asking questions. One was to attract "Jingwen"'s full attention, and the other was to try to get "Jingwen" to answer her own related questions in long sentences.
Of course, Lu Ning didn't know what the problem was.
"There are almost no flaws in your disguise, and your answers may even be more perfect than those of the real Jingwen." Jingrui also stood up, confronting the broken monk, "But you are not the real Yui monk."
"Oh?" The monk who broke the precepts smiled politely, "Please clarify my doubts."
"Monk Yui travels around the world, practices Buddhism, and meditates on people's hearts. These are all good. However, you probably haven't investigated our origins carefully."
"...origin?"
"We are children from a wealthy family. We do not rely on seeking alms when we travel around the world, but earn money by our own abilities. Because we cannot afford temples and do not receive incense, we are different from ordinary monks. Therefore... we never act like this. He calls himself a poor monk because he is a monk and doesn't tell lies." Jing Rui's face was as dark as water. "At least in my profession, no one has this habit. I'm afraid that since you replaced Jing Wen, you have been hiding out for many days because you were worried about being discovered. From then on, I haven’t had many interactions with my fellow travelers.”
"Habits are hard to change." Lu Ning shook his head slightly, "And monks don't use this kind of self-identification among themselves. He probably has no chance to notice this problem."
"So that's it. What the poor monk lacks is a human kindness." The monk who broke the precepts nodded gently, "Thank you for clarifying my doubts. As a thank you, the poor monk will save the three of you without any pain. I believe that the three of you will have great blessings in the next life."
Just as he lifted the bone knife, white light suddenly bloomed in the room, and a sacred bell echoed from everyone's mind. Even the monk who broke the precepts had to raise his hands to cover his face. Instead, Lu Ning and Jingrui felt that this light was very gentle, and even relieved their inner nervousness when facing the monk who broke the precepts.
"Too much confidence is not a good thing, monk."
Dilea stood in front of the two of them holding a long sword. Two pairs of ribbon-like long wings made of pure light spread out from her back. Although she didn't have any armor on her body, she seemed to be covered with a layer of light. His blond hair also exuded a golden color that was as dazzling as the sun.
Compared with the ugly form more than ten minutes ago, this is the image that truly fits the angel in Lu Ning's heart.
"Paladin... have you received the 'blessing'? No! You are not as an apprentice or visiting scholar..."
"When did I say I was?" Dilea stretched out her hand and flicked the sword, pure white thunder wrapped around the sword, and the broken monk immediately took two steps back again.
"You are a squire!"
"That's right, let me see what you are capable of!"
After Dileya shouted these words, she rushed directly towards the monk who broke the rules, and the monk who broke the rules also crossed his swords, and a layer of filthy breath coated the blades. The swords swung and held Dileya's sword. The white thunder and lightning was immediately contaminated, and even the holy light around Dilea was dimmed.
"Unfortunately, I happen to be good at polluting this pure justice - ow!"
Before the monk who broke the precepts could finish what he wanted to say to show off his power, it turned into a loud shout. Green flames ignited on his clothes, and there was even a small explosion. Although it would not really hurt his life, it was enough to disrupt the key rhythm of this kind of battle.
"Did the excessive magic eventually explode instead of having a real effect?" Lu Ning looked at the results of the two temporary refining formations with some trouble. As for the broken monk, he had been significantly weakened by such an explosion. If you want to It was already difficult to fight against Delea.
After two more strikes, the broken monk's bone knife was cut into two pieces by Dilea, and a bolt of lightning even grazed between his chest and ribs. This kind of pain was no longer something he could bear, and after a tragic sound, After calling out, the broken monk slashed his arm with the bone knife that was still intact. Blood spurted out, which immediately dimmed the light a lot, and the broken monk disappeared from the room.
"Bloodlight Escape is cruel enough." Dilea stamped her foot, turned around and said to Lu Ning and Jingrui, "You guys wait here, I must catch up with him!" After saying that, she flew through the window with a light wing. out.
Lu Ning and Jingrui couldn't catch up so fast, but they couldn't really wait here. The two of them climbed out of the window one after another, desperately chasing the light fragments left by Dilea as she flew by, getting angry all the way. Panting, he even ran into a rocky mountainous area in the Emerald District.
This kind of place is usually reserved for practical magic exercises. Of course, there is no one in the middle of the night. Dilea shines like a huge light bulb, which is really conspicuous. Lu Ning is a little exhausted, Jingrui also slows down and waits. Following her, the two of them walked into the rocks together. Since Delea followed, they didn't have to worry about the monk sneaking up on them.
But before walking too far, I heard Dilea yelling: "Who are you!"
Lu Ning happened to turn around a standing stone and saw the situation at Dilea's place. She stood on an arched stone, pointing her sword forward, and there was an unreal shadow in front of her. The only real thing was that the shadow was holding the broken monk's throat.
"Let him go! Show your identity! Otherwise I will attack you!"
The shadow naturally did not respond. He just used the fingers of his other hand to pierce the top of the monk's head, and then pulled it out instantly. A trace of something blue came out of the blood line, and then he put it into his neck.
"Hello!"
Dilea did not expect the shadow to be so decisive, and immediately rushed forward with a sword. The thunder entanglement instantly illuminated the shadow, but still could not reveal the true face of the other party. The shadow threw the broken monk, and his body dissolved like a puddle of mud. On the ground, nothing was left. Dilea's sword hit the stone without any achievements.
Lu Ning and Jingrui hurriedly ran over. After first checking to see if Dilea was okay, they then looked at the broken monk on the ground.
He was dead, with a peaceful smile on his face, and the blood hole on his forehead was still flowing out. He looked indescribably weird in such an environment.
"That damn guy..." Dilea grabbed a handful of the shadow-dissolved stone, but found nothing.
Jingrui sighed and recited scriptures in a low voice, while Lu Ning began to examine the body of the monk who broke the precepts.
Nothing at all.
There was nothing for contact, and there was nothing similar that could verify his identity, just like his room. And even if he died, there were no traces on his neck that should have been left by being pinched just now, only the fatal bloody hole on his head.
The clue is broken.
Although Lu Ning had known it would be like this - the show hadn't even started yet, how could a scene let you reveal all the behind-the-scenes so early? But she was still a little unwilling.
"Don't be discouraged, this matter must be investigated! I will report this matter to the priest. If there are such dangerous people in Evarang, how can we teach with peace of mind in the future? The Magic Council must not ignore this kind of thing!" Dilea He said angrily, "Visitors were secretly replaced. This kind of thing must not happen alone!"
"Thank you so much, Ms. Dilea." Jingrui sighed, "I didn't know you were an attendant before, so please don't take offense if you feel uncomfortable speaking."
"You just need to speak in a normal way..." Dilea waved her hand and reached out to grab the body of the broken monk on the ground. "As for this body, I want to take it away as evidence first."
"Please also pay attention. This monk should be at the level of a general-level magician. He has extraordinary strength, but he was still killed without any resistance. If you are worried about being alone, we can also give you a little help."
Delea continued to have headaches.
