The monk who was escorted over by Yao Quan looked old, probably in his fifties. His figure was very thin, his face had no flesh at all, and he was almost as skinny as skin and bones.
The monk was wearing a blue-black monk's robe that was fully patched and starched until it turned white.
The monk's robe was torn in many places, and there were dirt and blood stains on the cuffs, hem and other places. It could be seen that it had not been washed or mended for a while, so it was no wonder that Yao Quan regarded it as a spy.
How could an ordinary monk be covered in blood?
Seeing Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer looking at him, the monk who was suspected of being a spy hurriedly raised his hands and defended himself: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Sir, I am not a spy. I am a monk from the Xia Kingdom. I have an ultimatum in my arms..."
Qin Qiaoer winked at Yao Quan and signaled him to search for the ultimatum in the monk's arms. At the same time, she mobilized the power of the law and activated her book of "Daxia Law" to impose a threat on the monk whose identity and purpose were unknown. decree:
"If you confess, you will be given leniency, but if you refuse, you will be given strict punishment! If you make false statements or deceive, you should be whipped!"
After the words fell, Qin Qiaoer's bamboo slips of "Da Xia Lu" immediately erupted with streams of chilling black energy, spreading towards the monk. After circling him in a circle, it surged above his head and turned into... A spiked whip.
As long as the monk's next words are detected by the power of the law as lying or deceitful, the long thorny whip will fall and be flogged.
Qin Shaoyou called Zhu Xiucai over and told him: "Give this monk a person who knows what he wants to say and what he means!"
Zhu Xiucai accepted the order, took out Qin Lin's "Shang Shu", activated his literary energy, and cast the power of truth.
During his stay in Luocheng, Zhu Xiucai not only took this "Shang Shu" to ask Qin Lin for advice, but also went to the Confucian Temple and asked the Master to help write some comments. Not only did he make this "Shang Shu" 》The power has become far greater than before, and his own literary spirit has also increased a lot.
Now Zhu Xiucai is boasting about the power of mantra. Both the effect and the time are much better than before.
When Qin Qiaoer and Zhu Xiucai finished casting their spells, Yao Quan also found the ultimatum from the monk's arms.
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer took it and glanced at it to confirm that the ultimatum was genuine.
According to the description on the certificate, this monk's dharma name is Daoming, and he is a monk from a small temple in Xinglong Mansion.
Of course, just because the ultimatum is true does not mean that this Daoming monk has no problems.
The household registers and road guides of the Great Xia Dynasty held by Hu Fu and Wei Baotou, the former caravan leaders, were also genuine.
After reading the document, Qin Qiaoer listened to the incident report from Yao Quan, and asked with a straight face: "You said you are not a spy, then why are you sneaking around here to visit?"
At this moment, Qin Shaoyou turned [Bright Eyes], [Miaobi], and [Bianting] all to the maximum, and used [Bright Eyes] to observe the changes in Monk Daoming's expression, as well as the condition of his muscles, skin, and limbs; [Miaobi] ] is used to sniff the breath of Monk Daoming to see if he is a human or a demon, and whether there is any evil in him; as for [Listening], it is used to listen to Monk Daoming's breathing and heartbeat to see if there are any changes in speed, so as to Determine whether he is lying.
After listening to Qin Qiaoer's words, Monk Daoming hurriedly explained: "I saw the cloud-piercing arrow and thought of coming to help...I'm not sneaky, I'm afraid that there are evil spirits in the village, so I hid in the grass. Here, watch carefully."
The whip of law hanging above Monk Daoming's head did not respond.
Qin Shaoyou's [Bright Eyes] and [Hearing] also found no signs of lying, and [Miaobi] did not detect any evil spirit from Monk Daoming.

But Qin Shaoyou was not without gains.
He found that although Monk Daoming had thick calluses on his hands, he was an ordinary person. There was no energy fluctuation in his body, and even his blood energy was very ordinary, even somewhat lacking.
So Qin Shaoyou asked with some curiosity: "How can you, an ordinary person, help?"
"I can't help with anything else, but I can help the victims with burials and salvation..."
When Monk Daoming said this, he looked at the corpses of the villagers who had been attacked by mountain monsters and evil spirits. He clasped his hands together, lowered his eyebrows, and said "Amitabha" softly.
"Um?"
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows slightly.
At this moment, he actually smelled something familiar from Monk Daoming.
It smells a bit like Master Suquan...
No, to be more precise, it's the smell of Master Pixixuan's robe.
Qin Shaoyou was wondering what was going on. After checking the cart and the contents of the bags, Zhu Xiucai returned with a strange expression and reported to Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer:
"Sir, Commander Qin, those bags on the cart are full of ashes! Human ashes!"
The eyes of Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer instantly became sharp.
"What's going on with those ashes?" Qin Qiaoer asked.
Monk Daoming was not frightened by her. He sighed softly and said slowly: "They are refugees who escaped from the war and died on the way. Some of them were killed by bandits and bandits, and some were eaten by evil demons and ghosts. I After reciting sutras for their souls to be saved, they burned their bones, crushed them into ashes, and took them with them to send them back to their hometowns. Because there were too many dead people encountered along the way, they could only find a car and reluctantly A pallet truck is available on which the ashes can be transported.”
After saying these words, the whip of law hanging above Monk Daoming's head still showed no response.
Qin Shaoyou didn't find any signs of lying on him.
Coupled with Zhu Xiucai's "Knowing everything and telling everything", it is basically certain that what Monk Daoming told is the truth.
If he lies, it can only mean that his strength is far superior to Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and others!
If a master of that level really attacked them directly, why would he lie to others?
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer discussed in a low voice and basically dispelled their suspicions about Monk Daoming. They handed the ultimatum to Zhu Xiucai and asked him to take it and return it to Monk Daoming. He also ordered: "Since you are really here to help, then go Help save the victims here."
Monk Daoming took the ultimatum, put it back in his arms, clasped his hands together, and said "yes".
Qin Shaoyou stared at him and suddenly asked: "By the way, monk, Xinglong Mansion is not peaceful now. If you go around to pray for the dead and send the dead home, you are not afraid of encountering evil demons, ghosts or bandits and being harmed by them." ?”
Monk Daoming clasped his hands together, recited Amitabha, and then sighed:
"How can there be peace in today's world? Even if I stay in a temple and ring the bells and recite Buddha's name, evil demons and ghosts will still come to my door. It is better to walk around and do what I can. Even if I am really harmed, it is not bad. A relief.
Moreover, maybe it was because I was too thin and had no flesh and blood. Although I encountered some monsters along the way, they either turned a blind eye to me or walked away after seeing me from a distance. None of them pounced on me to eat me. of.
As for the bandits and bandits, I am a poor monk who has no money and no food. Apart from a string of rosary beads, I only have a cartload of ashes. If they rob and kill me, what's the use? It’s better to keep me until they die, help them to restrain themselves and bury them, and recite a few Buddhist sutras for salvation..."
After saying this, he looked at Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer and asked, "Two adults, do you have anything else to ask?"
"No more." Qin Shaoyou shook his head.
Monk Daoming recited Amitabha, and immediately walked to the body of the victim who had been gathered together and prepared for burial.
He first clasped his hands together and called Monk Ma "senior brother" to each other, and then began to chant sutras.
What Monk Daoming recited was just the ordinary Ksitigarbha Sutra.
But when he was chanting sutras to save these victims, Qin Shaoyou used [Bright Eyes] to vaguely see wisps of golden light emanating from his body.
This is……
Buddha's light? !
