(Turn forward, understand?)
——
After listening to Chang Ming's tearful narration, everyone present except Dong Wankun had strange expressions on their faces.
Some are angry, some are disappointed, some are speechless...
There are also curious ones.
Chang Ming cried loudly, climbed up to the abbot and Master Yongmo, and kowtowed vigorously:
"I'm sorry, host, I'm sorry, master. I've realized my mistake! I've realized my mistake! I didn't follow the teachings of master and abbot. I'm willing to be punished! I'm wrong..."
Everyone present has not yet recovered.
Even the abbot, who had experienced strong winds and waves in his life, stood there stupidly, his head buzzing.
"Chang Ming, you, you..."
Master Yongmo pointed at the disciple who was crying and blaming himself, and said angrily, "Even...even if you have no choice but to do it, you can't be placed in your master's coffin!"
"Disciple knows his mistake, please master not to drive him away..."
Chang Ming kowtowed very loudly and bang-bang-bang.
"enough!!"
Dong Wankun's face turned red like an explosion, and his chest was filled with anger.
He grabbed Chang Ming, his face indescribably ferocious: "Just now you said that the woman asked you to keep something, what was it!? Take it out for me!"
"She...she gave me an envelope and asked me not to open it."
Chang Ming tremblingly took out a crumpled letter and said with a sad face, "The young monk didn't dare to open it and read it. He was afraid that when she wanted it, she would find that the seal was broken and she would complain to the abbot and the others."
Dong Wankun grabbed the envelope and opened the seal.
"idiot!"
A voice suddenly penetrated into his ears.
Dong Wankun, who was getting the letter, suddenly turned his head and glared at Li Nanke, who was smiling, with a cold tone: "What did you say? Say it again if you can!"
Li Nanke innocently spread his hands and pointed at the envelope in the other person's hand:
"I mean, these two words must be written there. If you don't believe me, just read it yourself."
Dong Wankun opened the letter.
Sure enough, there were two big words written on it - Idiot!
"ah!!!!"
The man roared like a madman and tore the letter in his hand into pieces. Every tiny blood vessel in his body seemed to have been burned by a spark of fire falling on a pot of gasoline.
Got fooled!
Such a smart person was fooled!
From expectation to ecstasy, to confusion to anger, at this moment Dong Wankun just wanted to kill someone to vent his anger.
He spread his fingers, grabbed Chang Ming's neck, and lifted it up.
Chang Ming turned pale with fright and peed his pants on the spot.
"Higashi Senhu!"
Li Nanke suddenly said sternly, "Now Chang Ming has proven that he has nothing to do with Princess Shanyun's case! Even if he had contact with the Ghost Gun, he did so without knowing it. It's not good for you to kill innocent people like this." .”
"I want to arrest him for interrogation, what right do you have to stop me!"
Dong Qianhu roared.
Li Nanke smiled: "As long as you are not a fool, you will know that nothing can be found from Chang Ming, because he knows nothing. You are just venting your anger for your own incompetence!"
"You are presumptuous!"
Dong Wankun didn't expect that Li Nanke would actually break up with him at this time. He was so angry that he wanted to peel off the other person's skin and convulse, without concealing his murderous intention.
Nie Ying stepped forward and said coldly: "Dong Qianhu, put this person down!"
The surrounding shadow guards saw the two leaders starting an internal strife. They looked at each other in confusion, not knowing which side they were on.
In the end, Dong Wankun regained some sense.
However, in order to save face, he ordered the shadow guard: "Search! Turn this temple upside down! Don't miss any corner!"
Nie Ying frowned and wanted to speak, but Li Nanke stretched out a finger and touched her arm.
The woman glanced at him and chose to remain silent.
Dong Wankun threw Chang Ming, who was about to suffocate, to the ground. Unable to understand his hatred, he took out a subordinate's knife and chopped Chang Ming's beloved woman into several pieces.
And it was chopped in front of Chang Ming.
Again and again...
Chang Ming didn't dare to say anything and was so scared that he hid behind Li Nanke. Now in his heart, only Li Nanke was the protector.
After a full hour, the Shadow Guard search was over.
Apart from finding a few books similar to "Cao Leng Monk", there was nothing else to gain.
Dong Wankun clenched his fists and made a banging sound.
In front of those monks, he tore the secret emperor uncle into pieces, said a few cruel words to Li Nanke, and left angrily with them.
As Dong Wankun and others left, all the monks present breathed a sigh of relief.
The storm ended here.
I originally thought it would be a storm, but I didn't expect this outcome, which left people with mixed feelings.
"Abbot Huihai, I have something to ask Chang Ming. You should do your business first. As for his punishment, you can discuss it later. But I think it's okay for young people to break some minor precepts."
Li Nanke smiled and left with Chang Ming.
Abbot Huihai recited the Buddha's name, looked at Li Nanke's back with a look of gratitude, and then asked the monk to close the coffin lid, indicating that the burial of Master Yongming's body should begin.
The monks who recovered from the shock and confusion also continued the unfinished burial work.
…
Found a secluded place.
Li Nanke looked at Chang Ming, whose legs were still trembling, and said with a smile: "If it hadn't been for me today, I'm afraid your life would have been lost. No matter what, you have to kowtow to me a few times to thank me."
Nie Ying was a little further away.
After all, Chang Ming was so scared that he peed his pants before, and there was an unpleasant smell.
thump!
Unexpectedly, Chang Ming actually knelt in front of Li Nanke and kowtowed his head even harder than when he confessed to the abbot before.
My head was bleeding instantly.
Not only did Li Nanke save his life, but he also explained it for him in front of the abbot.
Seeing this, Li Nanke said helplessly: "You are really sincere. If I ask you to knock me, you will knock me. Is it okay if I ask you to call me dad in the future?"
"father!"
Chang Ming shouted loudly.
Li Nanke: "..."
The corners of Nie Ying's lips curved into a nice curve, and when she saw Li Nanke looking at her, she put on a pretty face and kept her cold expression.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."
Li Nanke dragged Chang Ming up angrily and asked, "Except for the woman who asked you to keep a letter, she didn't give you anything else?"
"No."
Chang Ming shook his head like a rattle.
Li Nanke asked again: "Think carefully, has anything strange happened in Lichen Temple in the past few days, or has any suspicious person appeared? Use your bald head to think about it."
Now that his savior had asked, Chang Ming began to try to remember.
Nie Ying's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion: "Hasn't it been proven that He Panjun is playing tricks on everyone? It means that the body of Princess Shanyun cannot be here."
"I still feel like something's wrong."
Li Nanke rubbed his face and said distressedly, "But I can't think of anything wrong. This He Panjun really has too many thoughts and likes to play psychological tactics too much. He is simply sick."
"There is something strange."
At this time, Chang Ming suddenly remembered something and spoke.
Li Nanke was startled, his eyes shining brightly: "Tell me quickly, what is this weird thing?"
Chang Ming scratched his bald head and lowered his voice: "In the past two days, two senior brothers who were cleaning the Zen room said that they heard the faint sound of wooden fish knocking in the room where the body of Master Yongming was stored.
And I also heard it the day before yesterday.
Some brothers said that the soul of Uncle Yongming still remains, because the uncle once chanted sutras and knocked wooden fish all day long, but this time the physical body of the Bodhisattva failed to be successfully molded, and the soul of the uncle could not rest in peace.
Therefore, we can occasionally hear the sound of wooden fish knocking.
We were the only three people who heard it, and Master didn't believe it either. He thought we were talking nonsense and left it alone. "
The sound of knocking wooden fish...
Li Nanke folded his hands on his chest and leaned against the wall, deep in thought.
"Could it be that the corpse has transformed?"
Nie Ying put forward a hypothesis.
"Transformation into a corpse?" Li Nanke chuckled, "How can an eminent monk transform into a corpse? Are the sutra talismans on the coffin lid just decorations?"
"Then what did you say it was?"
Nie Ying was a little annoyed.
He kindly helped the other party analyze the case, but unexpectedly he was ridiculed mercilessly.
I don’t want to think about it anymore!
Li Nanke saw that the woman was angry, but he had no intention of comforting her. He thought for a while and said, "Let's go and have a look. Maybe it's really a corpse."
Returning to the small courtyard, I found that the coffin had been carried into the pit.
Several monks had already started covering up with shovels.
"Wait a mininute!"
Li Nanke hurriedly stepped forward to stop a few people, and said to the confused Abbot Huihai, "Abbott, I want to check the coffin again, can you help me?"
"Again?"
Yongmo looked ugly.
He wanted to speak, but Abbot Huihai raised his hand to stop him and said with a wry smile: "This is already the case, there is no harm in checking again."
Yongmo looked at the coffin with a sad expression and sighed deeply.
During the first half of his life, he lived in peace and practice Buddhism.
I never thought that I would not be safe after death.
"Thank you, Abbot, and please leave here." Li Nanke made a further request, "But please don't worry, I will not damage Master Yongming's body."
"good."
Abbot Huihai nodded and left with the monks.
Soon, only Li Nanke, Nie Ying and a coffin were left in the small courtyard.
The atmosphere was inexplicably gloomy.
Nie Ying pushed open the heavy coffin lid and carefully observed the mummified monk's body inside, even using her spiritual power to explore it.
Li Nanke stared at the wooden fish buried in the coffin.
He leaned down and wanted to pick up the wooden fish, but found that it was stuck on it with special glue, and other objects were also stuck inside the coffin, arranged very neatly.
I guess I was afraid that the objects would be moved when the coffin was carried and the specifications would be damaged, so I glued the objects on top.
Li Nanke touched it with his hands.
After careful exploration, he found that the material of this wooden fish was more unique than that usually struck by monks.
It seems to be covered with a thin layer of soft sponge.
And it feels a bit moist to the touch.
"Knock on the wooden fish... knock on the wooden fish..."
Li Nanke bent his fingers and tapped a few times. Although it was damp, the sound was still crisp.
At this time, Nie Ying also finished checking the body and said with a cold face:
"everything is normal."
Li Nanke said nothing, closed his eyes and thought hard.
He put himself into He Panjun's role and began to reason about the other party's motives and purposes for doing this.
Numerous assumptions and results were overturned in turn.
"Wait, psychological tactics!"
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and Li Nanke straightened up suddenly.
He first looked around, as if he was looking for something, then jumped out of the pit, grabbed a handful of wet and sticky soil under the tree, and returned to the coffin.
Nie Ying looked confused and didn't understand what the other party was doing.
Li Nanke aimed at the bath, squeezed the soil in his hands, and a drop of turbid water slowly fell from the gap in his fist.
Dang~~
The crisp sound of wooden fish sounded.
The water droplets seeped into the wooden fish, leaving only some traces of soil.
Li Nanke stood there blankly, and suddenly laughed under Nie Ying's blank eyes.
"Hahaha……"
The man lay on the coffin, slapped the edge hard, and laughed louder and louder, "I see, that's it... This woman is playing psychological tactics with us! Hahaha! It's so funny!"
Seeing the man's crazy look, Nie Ying shuddered inexplicably.
It feels like this guy has become a bit scary.
Before she could ask, Li Nanke raised his head and looked around, stretched out his thumb, and said loudly: "I admire you! I really admire you! He Panjun, you are the smartest woman I have ever seen!"
The Lin Jiaoyue from before is incomparable to you! You are the master!
It's a pity, you shouldn't have let me get involved in this case! Because my rank is higher than yours!
I know you are secretly spying on us right now. It doesn't matter. I will let you see clearly today what it means to have people outside the world and people outside the world! You are not worthy of playing with me! "
"Why is Jun Pan in the dark?"
Hearing Li Nanke's words, Nie Ying was startled and hurriedly looked around.
"There's no need to look for her. This woman is very good at disguise."
Li Nanke said calmly, "Do you know why she played this trick?"
Nie Ying was sensible and did not analyze this time and remained silent.
"He Panjun is a smart woman who likes to play psychological tactics with others, but this type of person has the biggest advantage and disadvantage, that is, he likes to gamble!"
Li Nanke said, "She pretended to be a ghost and a magic gun, teasing you, teasing Dong Wankun, and scaring Chang Ming... Then she laid out the chess pieces and invited me into the urn to play chess with me!
This woman is good at gambling, really good at gambling.
Let me ask you, the only place where the ice coffin can be transported in a concealed and safe way is in Lichen Temple.
No matter how you deduce it, Lichen Temple is the only place where the ice coffin is stored!
Now that everyone knows it is Lichen Temple and will come to investigate, what should she do to remove suspicion from Lichen Temple and divert everyone's attention. "
Nie Ying's head exploded after hearing this.
Fortunately, Li Nanke didn't give her a chance to have her head explode, and said one word at a time: "That is, actively attract us to investigate!"
"Proactively attract us to investigate?"
Nie Ying was confused.
How much mental quality do you have to dare to play like this?
"Only if we have actively searched and confirmed, will we screen out Lichen Temple! Because people always believe their own eyes and their own judgment!
And Dong Wankun, according to the script she set, turned Lichen Temple upside down!
Then, he left with the people.
Do you think he will come to search Lichen Temple again in the future?
Li Nanke stared at the mummy in the coffin, "So, Princess Shanyun's body is hidden in Lichen Temple!"
Nie Ying suddenly felt like he was listening to a book from heaven.
"But Dong Wankun has turned the temple upside down, where else can he hide it? Buried underground? With such a big movement, so many people in the temple will definitely notice it."
Nie Ying couldn't bear it anymore and expressed all her inner doubts.
She felt that the other party treated her like a fool.
"You are right, but there is one place that Dong Wankun did not search!"
Li Nanke patted the coffin hard, "He just took a look. And this glance made him ignore the most important place to search! Therefore, Princess Shanyun is in this coffin!"
Nie Ying was stunned for a few seconds and hurriedly continued searching inside the coffin.
But apart from the mummies and burial objects, there is still no space or secret compartment to hide other remains.
"Are you out of your mind? Where are you?"
Nie Ying was livid and glared at the other party.
Li Nanke was speechless, so he had to grab another handful of wet soil, squeeze out the water and drop it on the wooden fish, and reminded:
"Now you understand, the sound of knocking wooden fish that Chang Yu heard was this!
Remember what I asked you before? Whether the body of Princess Shanyun can leave the ice coffin.
You told me that her body was covered with a layer of ice and would not decay for a long time even if she left the ice coffin.
Since it is ice, it will eventually melt. "
"The sound of water dripping!"
At this moment, Nie Ying finally understood.
Her eyes gradually moved to the extremely heavy and thick coffin lid!
turn out to be,
It's here!
"Come on, Princess Shanyun! Let me, Li Nanke, take you to see the light of day again!"
Li Nanke held the edge of the coffin lid with one hand and lifted it hard.
However, the coffin lid did not move at all.
"My strength is too weak..."
Li Nanke, who was in the middle pose, smiled awkwardly and motioned for the other party to come.
Nie Ying tried hard to suppress her excitement, mobilized all her strength, and firmly grasped the edge with both hands.
With a loud shout, the heavy coffin lid was lifted.
A woman's corpse, firmly stuck to the coffin lid with white threads as thin as spider silk, suddenly appeared in front of the two of them!
The woman's body was covered with a thin layer of ice, with some water droplets hanging on it.
"What a nice view……"
Li Nanke stared blankly at the face of the female corpse and murmured softly.
