Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 995 is connected again?

Several children, including Jingkong, did not think much about it. What had happened in the past two days was difficult for them to digest.

Li Chengxi originally took a wait-and-see attitude towards the matter, as it was none of his business anyway.

But it’s different now. Well, you dare to hit our Yi Yi, I will catch you today!

As I said, Li Chengxi never cares about things that have nothing to do with him. Just ask, yes, yes, yes, ask him for help?
Sorry, my phone is out of battery, that's all.

However, once it comes to his acquaintances, the situation is completely different.

Send a few children to Princess Mingzhu, who is protected by the palace guards. Unless the murderer has the ability of Shen Qingluo, the master of Tianjue Palace, there is no way he can succeed in such an iron-clad defense.

Then Yang Yiyi didn't explain much, just made a few excuses and led Wu Shaoyi out of the courtyard.

If that person comes again, we will definitely be able to handle it with our abilities. If that doesn't work, we can just use our sound power to yell "Wu, that bald donkey!" I'm afraid all the monks in Jingci Temple will come running over...

So Yang Yiyi is not as smart as Li Chengxi.

Li Chengxi told them his guess, especially instructing Yang Yiyi on how to proceed based on Xuan Bei's reaction. Then the two of them found Xuan Bei's meditation room, knocked on the door and went in.

Xuan Bei is not young anymore. He recited sutras all night last night and was tormented by Xuan Nan's death in the morning. When Yang Yiyi and the others came, Master Xuan Bei should have been taking a nap, but when he saw them coming, he had to cheer up and hide the fatigue in his eyes.

"What brings you two ladies to visit us suddenly?"

"Master Xuanbei, I apologize for disturbing you by coming here without your permission. I hope you will forgive me."

Yang Yiyi clasped her fists and said:

"We two came here now because we have some questions and hope Master Xuanbei can answer one or two."

"Miss Yang, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will answer all your questions."

Perhaps he was unsure of the two people's intention in coming to see him, so Xuan Bei's performance was at least fine for now.

Yang Yiyi didn't bother to be polite and asked directly according to the words that Li Chengxi had rehearsed for her:

"Master Xuanbei, may I ask, what is the relationship between Master Jingkong and the host?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xuan Bei's eyelids twitched.

"Why do you say that, Lady Yang?"

"The care that the abbot has shown to Jingkong has surpassed the care that an elder has shown to his disciples. I also found out that Master Xuanku, who was murdered this morning, had also secretly taught Jingkong martial arts. Is there something wrong here..."

Wu Shaoyi also chimed in:

"Master Xuanbei, you are the only person with perfect witnesses in this whole incident. We believe that you are not the murderer of Master Xuannan, so we came to ask you a few questions."

"You two ladies are worrying too much. The host brother just saw that Jingkong has good qualifications..."

Yang Yiyi interrupted:

"Master Xuanbei, you don't seem to find it strange."

Yang Yiyi asked why the host valued Jingkong so much, and Wu Shaoyi echoed her by saying, we believe that you are not the murderer of Xuannan.

To outsiders who don't know the inside story, these two things seem completely unrelated, but on the other hand, only those who know the inside story can understand the connection between them.

If Xuan Bei didn't know the inside story, he should have said, "What is the relationship between the two?" or something similar, but he said, "Master Master, I just saw that Jingkong has good qualifications."

He guessed right, he indeed knew the connection between the two.

Xuan Bei was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly:
"You two ladies are very smart. I am really getting old."

"Master Xuanbei, monks do not tell lies, please don't fool us." "Amitabha, it's not something that can't be told to others, but...ah!"

Xuan Bei sighed heavily:
"Well, since the two ladies want to know, I will speak frankly."

He said:
"This story begins almost forty years ago. At that time, the ten kingdoms in the Central Plains were at war, and the north was also ready to make trouble. The world was not at peace, and there were refugees everywhere."

Wow, he really started from the beginning, all the way back to forty years ago.

"At that time, there was an endless stream of people coming to Jingci Temple. Most of them were ordinary people who could not make a living and hoped to make a living by becoming a monk. I was one of them."

It should be said that most of the monks with the surname Xuan came from this origin.

"Senior Brother Host was once an officer of Yuezhou State. He fought in foreign wars many times and made great achievements. He was also ruthless and cruel, and was nicknamed "Grass-less".

It probably means leaving no grass behind, which is really cruel.

"However, justice will always prevail. Senior Brother Master has killed countless enemies, and his hands are stained with the blood of innocent people. His family was also killed by the enemy."

You kill my people and I kill yours. It really never ends.

"Even poisonous snakes have weak points, let alone humans. When the host brother returned home, he found that his family had been destroyed and everyone had died. At that moment, he became a deserter."

"Could it be that he has put down his butcher knife?"

"Exactly."

Xuan Bei continued:
"When it was time to go back to the army, the abbot did not go back and was treated as a deserter. After hearing the news, he was confused for a while and wandered to my Jingci Temple. Since then, he has been concentrating on worshiping Buddha."

I wonder what the pilgrims outside would think if they knew that the kind-looking abbot had such a past.

Wu Shaoyi interrupted:

"Is the murdered Master Xuanku the brother of the host master?"

Xuan Bei looked at Wu Shaoyi in surprise:
"They are half brothers. How did Lady Wu know that?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the ear and eye shapes of Master Host and Master Xuannan are very similar."

Without a blood relationship, the shape of the ears and eyes will not be exactly the same. We often say that a child looks like the father, but in fact it is also because of the ears and eyes.

However, this matter is not as unique as fingerprints, so Wu Shaoyi has always been just guessing.

"If that's the case, then Jingkong is probably also related to the host master by blood."

"As the heroine said."

Xuan Bei explained:
"When the abbot returned home, he thought his family was destroyed, but in fact his little daughter was still alive. She was rescued by fellow villagers who had fled. After much inquiry, we even found the abbot and visited him. But... maybe she was seriously injured when she was a child and her body was not good. She passed away at a young age. There was also a disaster, and some of my husband's family fled, and some starved to death. We could only ask someone to send Jingkong to Jingci Temple to be taken care of."

Severe drought?

Quzhou!

Holy shit, it’s actually connected!
This is also why the host will give special treatment to a few children, while the others just benefit from it. The purpose is to clear the space.

The same is true for the late Master Xuannan. Jingkong is also his grandson. If the grandfather doesn’t take care of him, who will?

Jingkong himself seemed to be unaware of the ins and outs of these things.

However, it doesn’t matter whether Jingkong knew it or not. What’s important is that Xuanbei’s words have completely proved that the motive for murdering for the purpose of competing for the position of host is wrong.

The real motive for the murder is most likely revenge.
