Different from the Qingzhou Qi murder case, Mu Nan did not have the help of the Taofusi this time and had to go alone.
Even with a map in hand, Qingzhou is full of dense forests.
After still stumbling for a long time, I finally found the place where the bones were found.
A deserted beach.
The sea water washes away in waves.
Fill all traces with sea sand.
Looking around, there was no sign of a fight, nor was there any smell of monsters.
Even if he expanded the search area to dozens of miles around, he would be like a headless fly.
Didn't get any clue.
It's like a wasted trip.
It seemed that those skeletons were just white bones.
Has nothing to do with the incident.
Seeing that it was still early, Mu Nan prepared to walk back to the city.
Nothing else.
On the one hand, I hope to make some discoveries in the jungle.
On the other hand, other people's division of labor seemed more cumbersome. If he went back too early, he might be ridiculed by Ji Boda.
Mu Nan didn't know why Ji Boda was prejudiced against him.
Although he didn't say it openly, it was hard to escape his eyes with that vague look of hatred.
Is it because he received Ji Boda's letter but didn't reply?
"Amitabha, the donor, we meet again!"
Mu Nan was lost in thought when, without noticing, a familiar voice floated over from dozens of feet away.
"Master Tucheng?"
Seeing the head that was as bright as a searchlight in the distance, he guessed who the other person was.
Tu Cheng came to his side in a few flashes, clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, I haven't seen the donor for a long time, and he is still as charming as ever."
To him, Tu Cheng's words always sounded like a slap in the face.
for a long time? Not seen? Style?
"Master Tucheng, you are polite!"
"Amitabha, are you here because of the missing people in Jiuzhen City?"
"Master Tucheng, is this why you are here?"
So many monks suddenly appeared in Jiuzhen City, most likely because of this matter.
Therefore, both Tucheng and Mu Nan would speculate in this regard.
"Amitabha!"
After meeting for only a few breaths, Tu Cheng said "Amitabha" four times.
Mu Nan protested: "Master Tucheng, every time you speak, you have to come and go before you speak. If you don't feel tired talking, I feel tired listening."
"Oh? Actually, I'm tired too, but if I don't say the Buddha's name, it seems to be disrespectful of my status as an enlightened monk."
After Tu Cheng complained helplessly, he waved his sleeves and grinned, looking like he was possessed by Lu Zhishen.
Changed appearance.
How can he still look like a monk?
"But you changed too quickly! You changed from a monk to a ruffian in the blink of an eye, and I didn't get used to it!"
Mu Nan was stunned.
He was just teasing me unintentionally.
Tu Cheng's tone changed at every turn. Could it be that the eminent monk was essentially a refugee?
Or did he accidentally enter Songshan Mountain and learn something wrong?
"Brother Mu Nan!"
Tu Cheng stepped forward and put his arms around his shoulders nonchalantly, and covered his body with a large bainai coat, almost like a quilt:
"After many days of painstaking practice, I realized a truth! After shouting, 'Humph, you are a small skill, how dare you do the same thing', and then put your hands together to say Buddha's words, you will lose a bit of momentum!"
Mu Nan stood stunned on the spot.
Is it because of this sentence that the monk turned into a rogue?
Then he is really guilty!
"You won't break your Buddhist heart because of these words, right?"
"I am the reincarnation of the Buddha, how can I have a broken Buddha mind? Every time I recite the Buddhist words taught to me by Brother Mu Nan, I feel that every sentence leads to Buddhist principles and is very consistent with my ambition to kill thieves and achieve fruition!"
After Tu Cheng finished speaking, he jumped into the distance and said, "Huh, what a small trick..."
"etc!"
Mu Nan saw that he wanted to show off and was so powerful that he was almost shirtless, so he hurriedly interrupted him:
"There's still something missing!"
Tu Cheng jumped over and asked humbly: "What is missing?"
Mu Nan looked him up and down and scratched his neck:
"You should hold a purple gold bowl in your right hand, a Qinglong Zen staff in your left hand, and wear a brocade cassock. The feeling will suddenly come!"
He just thought Tu Cheng was extremely funny, so he made it difficult for him to speak out.
Purple gold bowl, blue dragon Zen staff, and brocade cassock, are they so easy to put together?
Unexpectedly, Tu Cheng's eyes widened and he shouted with great momentum:
"have!"
Then he put his hands together and said "Amitabha".
When his hands were separated again, he had a purple gold bowl in his left hand, a nine-xi Zen staff in his right hand, and he was even wearing a brocade cassock embroidered with gold thread!
"How's it going? Brothers Mu Nan?"
Mu Nan straightened his body, pinched his nose, and took a deep breath: "Excellent! I will wear this outfit from now on. It will be very impressive!"
"Isn't it a bit too flashy?"
Tu Cheng stretched out his arms and turned around, looking at himself.
He doesn't seem to like the brocade cassock very much.
After hearing what he said, Mu Nan also took a long look at him, feeling that any piece missing would be less flavorful.
Especially the Jinlan cassock, which can definitely improve his skills to a higher level.
"It's a bit. Having said that, the Buddha relies on his golden armor, and it's all for cultivation!"
"Um!"
Tucheng thought for a moment and realized that this was reasonable.
He nodded with deep approval: "I'll wear it like this from now on! By the way, compared to the python suit of your patrol prison, this is already considered frugal!"
"Master Tucheng!"
Mu Nan wanted to make a quibble, but then he thought of the python suit of the Tianxian Prison. The chest, back, lapel and sleeves were all embroidered with gold python patterns, and there were also colorful embroideries of Wanfu, Ruyi, cloud patterns, Baoxiang patterns, etc.
There is also a jade ring on the waist, which is half girdle and full of jewels.
Everywhere is luxurious, and the mouth is shut all the time.
Tu Cheng is right!
"I've already called you Brother Mu Nan, why do you still call me so polite? Just call me Tu Cheng."
"is this okay?"
Mu Nan scratched his head.
Tucheng is in the realm of the fifth-grade Herrscher, or the reincarnation of the Buddha!
That is a power comparable to that of the Tribulation Stage!
Regardless of his cultivation or age, he shouldn't call her by his first name.
"What's wrong?"
Tu Cheng put the Jiuxi Zen staff on his shoulder and said: "From now on, you and I will treat each other as brothers! You call me Brother Tu! Maybe one day, you go to Beiliu Temple to become a monk, tell me my name, and I will protect you. !”
"Forget it, I haven't made any plans for becoming a monk yet!"
Mu Nan couldn't imagine himself being a monk, so he quickly shook his head.
Tu Cheng seemed to be interested:
"I can let you be the host! You are not low in Buddha nature, so you should be able to do a good job!"
Mu Nan hurriedly interrupted him:
"Brother Tu, have you found any useful clues? You won't tell me that it has something to do with the Blood Demon Sect."
He pursued the traces of the Taoist all the way, "never leaving", no wonder Mu Nan subconsciously thought of the Blood Demon Sect.
Tu Cheng sat down on the ground, patted his brocade cassock, and motioned for him to sit down.
"I don't know whether the incident in Jiaozhou is related to the Blood Demon Sect, but I can tell you one thing! The Taoist is gone! There is no breath at all! It looks like he is dead."
"died!"
After Mu Nan finished speaking, he lay down on the cassock with his head in his hands and continued: "You were killed by me! Do you want to reward me with something?"
The Taoist self-destructed his inner elixir, almost causing him to die directly.
Moreover, those who practice the Tao are not monsters, and there are no rewards for turning the prayer wheel.
This made him even more depressed.
Here, when I saw Tucheng, I thought of getting some benefits.
"Killed by you?"
Tucheng found it unbelievable that he was in the realm of a fifth-grade herrist and had a golden body in his previous life.
Every time he borrowed his cultivation from his previous life, the Taoist would use the escape method to escape.
After chasing for so long, there is nothing I can do.
"Were you killed in the early stage of pill formation?"
"Then it's still fake? The inner alchemy has exploded!"
Tu Cheng didn't believe it, so he lay down and looked into his eyes, unconsciously pressing half of his body over.
Staring at him with burning eyes, he exclaimed: "You have perfected your foundation building so quickly! Are you taking drugs?"
"What are you two men doing?"
Just as Chen Qingqing's envoy Yinming Xuanzhao passed by with billowing smoke.
She had already flown away, but suddenly turned back.
He stared at the two of them with interest for a long time, with a malicious look on his face.
No wonder she was curious.
Under the dense forest, on a cassock, a man was lying on his back, half pressed against him with twinkling eyes...
"Chen Qingqing, it's not what you think!"
Mu Nan hurriedly stood up, but the action of adjusting his clothes was unnecessary, which made Cheng Qingqing, the bystander, have bad suspicions.
"Uncle, excuse me, please continue!"
After Chen Qingqing said that, she flew away again with black smoke on her face and an ambiguous look on her face.
"It's like being shot!"
Mu Nan looked at her figure and burst into anger: "Hurry and fall to the ground, destroy it! I'm tired!"
