Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 980 Ashes
The war between the demon kingdoms sounds very casual. Although it is not as serious as a child's play, it is obvious that the monarchs of the seven demon kingdoms, including Viola, lack the basic understanding of the seriousness of the war.

The reason for this situation is very simple, because the damage caused by their war was not serious.

Considering it from a perspective far ahead of the times is considered hooliganism. The local area was still in the era of cold weapons. Even if there was magic, the density of firepower could not be compared with that of cannons.

In the era of cold weapons, the killing efficiency was very low, and the damage to the environment and economy was also very low. This is why people lacked the minimum respect for war when fighting.

In fact, it was not until World War I that humans on Earth realized that wars in the Industrial Age far exceeded everyone's expectations. World War II further demonstrated that humans already had the ability to destroy everything they had, so they naturally became more cautious about war.

By the way, the reason Viola is fighting now is mostly because of the Demon King.

Since the return of the Demon God is inevitable, we have to consider the new division of interests under the rule of the Demon God. After all, this eternal tyrant is a god, and it is impossible for a god to directly manage the mortal world.

To put it bluntly, it is a war for the right to speak in the future.

Li Chengxi could see this, but he didn't care. He had no intention of ruling at all, it was just a mortal's imagination.

Just like you think God will do this and that, and you make complicated prayers every day to show your piety, but the fact is that the Lord doesn’t care.

However, Li Chengxi had no intention of stopping her. On the one hand, Viola still had a national hatred to avenge, and on the other hand...

Cricket fighting is so much fun.

As usual, just glance over at Viola occasionally, it shouldn't be anything too troublesome.

Compared with Viola's battle of the seven nations and Alyssa's pursuit of the starship, Yang Yiyi's affairs seemed petty.

Or rather, it seems too refined.

The whole incident has divided Jingci Temple into three groups.

First, there are monks with the surname Xuan. The new abbot will definitely be among this group of people. Those who want to be the abbot will definitely take action.

Second, ordinary monks, in addition to grieving, also have to carefully consider who they will vote for, as this concerns the development direction of Jingci Temple for a long time to come.

The third is to just watch the show, such as Princess Mingzhu and Yang Yiyi and others.

There must be a story behind this, but it has nothing to do with me, so I was just enjoying the show.

Princess Mingzhu is a typical example of someone who just wants to watch the show. Otherwise, when Zhang Han came and ran away laughing, the princess only needed to tell the palace guards to arrest him. It was obvious that she just wanted to watch the show, but she wouldn't get involved.

Fortunately, Princess Mingzhu didn't see the letter with the bloody handprint, otherwise, who knows what troubles this princess would have caused.

The new abbot will definitely be among the monks of the Xuan generation, and among them, four are the most promising.

The first one is Master Xuanci, who is in charge of external affairs and often travels around the world. He has the highest martial arts skills among the monks of the Xuan generation. When they jointly encircled and suppressed the Tianlang Sect, it was he who led the team in person.

The second is Master Xuan Bei, who spends most of his time in the temple, and is mainly responsible for receiving pilgrims and the like. Although he is not well-known in the martial arts world, he is still very prestigious in the hearts of pilgrims and the temple's financiers.

The third is Master Xuan Ku, who is in charge of logistics. He is responsible for the purchase and expenses of all items, big and small, in the temple. He is the person who keeps the account books. Without him, Jingci Temple would not be so well organized.

Finally, there is Master Xuan Nan, who is said to be in charge of the Discipline Hall. Although he is strict, he is also quite famous in the temple, and his martial arts skills are second only to Xuan Ci.

The new abbot should be among these four people. The other monks of the Xuan generation are either ordinary monks or have unlimited fame.

As for who will be the winner, Yang Yiyi, as an outsider, doesn't care. She just hopes that it will be chosen quickly, otherwise she won't know who to give the letter in her arms to.

But then again, although we are purely watching the show, we cannot watch it in confusion. Li Chengxi always keeps the idea of ​​"be careful of being used as a gun" for Yang Yiyi's actions. You have to be careful when watching a show.

"Brother Li, are you sure there are clues here?"

"Not sure, but it won't hurt to take a look."

After everyone went back to their rooms, Yang Yiyi escaped from the princess's excitement by going to the bathroom, and came to the entrance of the cave where she had previously presided over the retreat.

The abbot died by severing his meridians, not from natural causes as Xuan Ci had led everyone to believe.

Although we don't know the reason why he committed suicide, if there is a clue, it must be in the place where he was in seclusion for the last time.

Of course, as Li Chengxi said, it's just a possibility.

There is a door in this cave, but since no one uses it, it is not locked.

Yang Yiyi pushed the door open and just as she took a step inside, she felt a gust of cold air hitting her face like a blow.

The so-called retreat place of Jingci Temple is nothing more than a pure cave, and it is a cave that has not been repaired much. There is a lot of moisture in it, and the temperature is low. It is obviously not a very comfortable place.

It's really amazing that the abbot, at such an old age, dares to come here for retreat. Isn't he afraid of an attack of rheumatism?
After entering the door, there is a winding narrow road. To get to some places, you have to lean sideways. No wonder it was so difficult for the monks to get the abbot out.

Yang Yiyi held a flashlight and went about 20 to 30 meters into the cave when she saw a renovated stone chamber at the end.

At least one could distinguish the stone bed and the stone table. On one side of the stone platform were neatly stacked monk robes and bedding, but because of the excessive moisture, they felt greasy when one reached out and touched them.

Since we didn't see the first crime scene, we don't know exactly where the abbot died, but judging from the open scriptures on the stone table and the burnt-out oil lamp, the abbot must have decided to sever his own meridians while reading.

It can't be that he was broken by reading scriptures.

There were some footprints nearby, which should have been left by the monks who came in later and carried the abbot's body. Yang Yiyi walked around the area and found the only common Buddhist scripture was the Diamond Sutra. She didn't see anything noteworthy.

"On the left side of the table, yes, is there something there?"

Li Chengxi's painting is in pixel style, so the details are not very clear. When he zoomed in, he could only see some shadows.

Yang Yiyi squatted down and shone the flashlight:
"It looks like burnt ashes."

The ash was stepped on by someone, leaving only a small piece of ash that could barely be recognized as paper, otherwise it was no different from the dust on the ground.

Yang Yiyi wanted to reach out and turn the ashes over to take a look, but it shattered as soon as her fingers touched it.

"Looks like the ashes of something?"

"An envelope, maybe?"

The paper of the envelope is relatively hard, while the letter paper is very soft in comparison, and nothing will be left after burning.

Speaking of envelopes, Li Chengxi immediately thought of the letter with a bloody handprint on the back at the funeral.

Maybe, there is some connection.
