"When did you realize there was something wrong with me?" Gong Hao stared at Lu Jingdao.
"I knew it before I entered the temple."
"Why? Do I have any flaws?"
"You don't have any flaws, and you are very familiar with Si Tianjian, and you have the badge to prove it. To be honest, when I first met you, I really thought you were the supervisor in Si Tianjian."
"Then why did you start to doubt me?" Gong Hao asked.
"Because of that strange thing." Lu Jing said, "I have completely forgotten who the supervisor who asked me to come to Lingyang County was, but there is no doubt that that person has also been affected by that strange thing.
"But when I was with you, my memory was always clear and showed no signs of becoming blurred. From this, I also inferred that you are not my partner in this investigation."
"Then why didn't you fall out with me then?" Gong Hao said, "but why did you put yourself in danger?"
Lu Jing was speechless when he heard this, "I didn't want to put myself in danger. I just wanted to follow your wishes first and see if I could get some useful information from you. After all, since you came to me, then It means that my partner may have had an accident.
"I can't leave him alone. In fact, I had no intention of entering this temple from the beginning, but I didn't expect this place to be so evil. Even the threshold would move. When I came to my senses, When I arrived, people were already inside.
"I'm not familiar with this strange thing in the temple at all, and I don't dare to act rashly, so I can only think of a way to trick you in."
Lu Jing finished speaking in one breath, then paused and said, "Are you from Mr. Ji? So this incident was just a trap from beginning to end. Who is your target, the supervisor? still me?"
Faced with this problem, Gong Hao chose to keep his mouth shut.
He seemed to have made up his mind not to answer.
Lu Jing scratched his head and felt a little headache. He was not worried that Mr. Ji might attack him. After all, they had different positions and were natural enemies from the beginning.
Naturally, Lu Jing didn't expect to get along harmoniously with the other party. What troubled him now was that it was difficult to find out the whereabouts of the supervisor from Gong Hao's mouth.
However, seeing that the bronze Arhat statues were surrounding him again, Lu Jing had no choice but to raise the ring-headed knife in his hand in front of the old monk.
The latter's expression suddenly changed after seeing the knife, but he did not try his best to distance himself from the relationship between himself and the ring-headed knife like he did with Gong Hao before.
Instead, he asked in surprise, "This...where did you find this knife?"
Without waiting for Lu Jing to answer, he looked around a few more times and said in a low voice, "Boy, can we discuss it?"
"What discussion?"
"Give me this knife and I will let you leave."
"Really? You wouldn't suddenly regret it after getting the knife and turn your back on me." Lu Jing raised his eyebrows.
"You don't have to worry about this. I can swear in the name of Buddha that after getting the knife, I can guarantee that you will leave here unscathed." The old monk said anxiously.
Lu Jing ignored his words, but turned to look at Gong Hao, "Hey, what should we do now? Give him the knife?"
Gong Hao almost bit his teeth into pieces. If Lu Jing hadn't hidden the last fragment, this knife would have been his way out of here.
But now the person who is about to leave here has become Lu Jing, and he will be sent to some kind of Laozi Buddha Kingdom by this weird thing, and he will never be able to return to the world.
What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that he had told Lu Jing about this method. Not only that, he had also helped Lu Jing find six other fragments before, which was equivalent to sending Lu Jing out of here with his own hands. This also made him feel more and more sad. Stuffy.
Although Gong Hao didn't speak, Lu Jing already got the answer he wanted from his expression, and handed the ring-headed knife back to the old monk's hand.
The latter also breathed a sigh of relief after holding the knife, and then looked at it for a moment, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, but soon turned into a solemn look.
He waved his hand, and the knife broke into seven pieces and disappeared.
After that, the old monk clasped his hands and said to Lu Jing, "It seems that the fate between the donor and my Buddha has not come yet. The old monk cannot save you today. Let's meet again in the future if we are destined."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and Lu Jing felt a breeze surround his body, gently pushing him out of the door.
During the whole process, he felt like he couldn't help it, and he couldn't even move his little finger.
It wasn't until his feet stepped on the ground outside the door again that he regained control of his body. This made Lu Jing glad that he didn't force himself just now, otherwise he would probably end up like Gong Hao inside.
Speaking of Gong Hao, just when Lu Jing was sent out of the hall, Gong Hao, who had already made up his mind not to speak again, suddenly started yelling again.
"Save me! Save me quickly, I am indeed Si Tianjian's supervisor!!! I have also practiced secret power in the academy before, and I am your senior brother. As long as you save me, I will tell you..."
Gong Hao was only halfway through speaking when he saw the old monk making a silent gesture, and then his mouth closed on its own.
Looking at the smiling face in front of him, the fear in Gong Hao's heart reached its peak, and he struggled desperately.
However, the old monk just stretched out his hand and touched the top of his head, and Gong Hao's whole body turned into a golden light and immersed himself into the monks behind him, becoming a member of the magnificent Buddhist kingdom.
"Amitabha, good, good, good."
The old monk showed a satisfied smile, then raised his head and glanced at Lu Jing outside the hall. His figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared together with the circle of Arhats and Buddhas filling the hall.
The temple has also returned to its previous desolate and dilapidated appearance.

"You lose." Aoi said to the man opposite.
Everything that happened in the temple before was reflected on that piece of bluestone.
In fact, as early as when Lu Jing fell from the ruins, the man's eyelids started to twitch, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
When the two flying swords were shot out and Gong Hao fell into the palace, the man knew that the plan to trap and kill Lu Jing had failed, and what happened after that only confirmed this.
He felt a little regretful at first, but now he was relieved and admitted frankly, "It seems that I underestimated him a little. But fortunately, in these two games today, at least I can win one."
"Who said that?" Aoi asked.
The man returned his attention to the chessboard, only to find that his largest piece of territory had been cut to pieces by Aoi's sunspots. He said in surprise.
"When? When did you set up the trap? Why didn't I notice it?"
"Are you asking about the offensive in this place? Well, it was probably when you felt that my heart had been disturbed by the reflection on the bluestone." Aoi said lightly.
"As I said, although you have investigated my life and background, you don't know me at all."
