Two Honest Monks
After escaping from the restaurant, Huiqing carried Ye Chenxin and ran all the way to the tea house. She stuffed Ye Chenxin into the hands of the servant monks who were resting inside, then left Stone Town alone and rushed up Shaoshi Mountain.
He wanted to report this matter to his superiors.
After calming down, Huiqing cleared her thoughts. This was a huge matter! Someone had disguised himself as him, so he definitely wasn't up to anything good. Moreover, it was very likely that they would take the opportunity to harm Shaolin Temple.
Therefore, he could not hide it!
After Huiqing reported it, Shaolin Temple responded very quickly. Arhat Hall, Prajna Hall, and Dharma Hall each dispatched a Xuan elder and thirty disciples. Under Huiqing's lead, they quickly descended the mountain and went to the restaurant where the person died to investigate the situation.
The night was dark and the moonlight was like water.
The light shone through the window and sprinkled on the Demon Lord's corpse.
The elder of the Prajna Hall, who was wearing a kasaya, twirled the Buddha beads in his hand and stared at the corpse quietly. His eyes were sharp as if he could see through everything.
Huiqing and the other two hall elders also surrounded him.
As for the door, Ye Chenxin, who had sneaked up, leaned against the door frame to observe the situation.
He had already met the elder and explained the matter of going down the mountain.
Originally, he was supposed to stand guard outside the restaurant with his fellow disciples from the three halls, but he was curious about what the Elders would say, so he secretly ran up.
"Senior Brother, how is it?"
"Amitabha, it's a disguise.”
Huiqing's status was the lowest, so he walked forward and trembled as he touched the Demon Lord's face for a long time before he found a flaw. Thus, he pinched it with two fingers and forcefully pulled it off!
A human skin mask was removed.
The Demon Lord's original appearance was that of an ordinary-looking man. His eyes were wide open, and the stiff muscles on his face showed a terrified expression. The blood flowing from the corners of his mouth had already dried up.
"Who is this person?"
"This person is proficient in disguising himself. I'm afraid it's difficult for others to know. I can't recognize it either."
"Yes, Huiqing, search him."
Huiqing didn't dare to say anything. He endured the stench of the corpse and searched his body. After searching for a long time, he said,"Elders, there's nothing.”
The few of them fell silent.
A moment later, the old monk from Dharma Hall said,""I'm afraid they've been planning this for a long time and didn't leave anything behind.”
"But who killed them?" The elder of the Arhat Hall immediately asked.”
When this question was thrown out, the monks fell silent again.
Looking at their deliberate thinking, Ye Chen felt amused.
"Huiqing, Xuchen, come here."
The elder of the Arhat Hall, who was also the one who had imparted the power to Ye Chenxin, said at this moment.
Hearing this, Ye Chenxin walked in from the door. Huiqing also returned to the side of the elders. Standing in front of these three elders, both big and small, they felt a little guilty.
"Let me ask you, how did you meet these two dead people? Huiqing, you go first." The elder of the Arhat Hall asked.
"Yes, Elder. Xu Chen and I were strolling on the streets, but when we walked near here, we were knocked unconscious. When he woke up again, he was already here and saw this scene. He didn't know anything else.”
Huiqing put her palms together and lowered her head as she answered 'truthfully.'
If Ye Chenxin had not eaten meat and drank wine with him, he would have been deceived.
The three elders looked at each other and didn't answer him. Instead, they turned to Xu Chen and asked,""Xuchen, you tell me. Remember, monks should keep the precepts of not speaking nonsense.”
Xu Chen nodded and replied respectfully,""Replying to Elder, it was just as Martial Uncle Huiqing said. I was also knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I heard Martial Uncle Huiqing's miserable cry. After that, Martial Uncle Huiqing left me in the teahouse and ran up the mountain.”
The human body was like a play, all relying on acting skills.
The two wine and meat monks did not mention anything about drinking wine and eating meat.
To sum up, everything that happened here had nothing to do with them. They didn't know anything at all.
"Yes."
When the elder heard Xu Chen's answer, he nodded.
Then, he started discussing with the other two elders.
The two Wine-Meat Monks exchanged glances and smiled. They had already prepared their confessions, so it didn't matter even if they were interrogated.
After chatting for a while, the old monk from Dharma Hall sighed and said,""It seems that this person disguised himself as Huiqing and wanted to harm Shaolin Temple, but an expert killed them.”
The Arhat Hall Elder nodded and said,"That's right. Huiqing and Xuchen suffered the disaster of the fish pond."”
"It's better to report it to the yamen and let them investigate," said the Prajna Hall Elder. There was also a big problem with this restaurant. It was so empty that there was not even a shadow.”
The old monk of Dharma Hall stroked his beard and said,""We have to report it to the yamen. But... who was the expert who attacked?”
They did not know the answer.
Ye Chen naturally knew that these two were both from the Demon Sect, but he could not warn them.
Sigh, it was really uncomfortable.
He had forgotten to leave something to remind Shaolin Temple earlier, but now there was no chance.
While the elders were chatting, the elder of Arhat Hall suddenly turned his head and said,""Huiqing, bring Xuchen back to the mountain! This matter was extraordinary. Don't stay at the foot of the mountain.”
Hearing this, Huiqing immediately bowed and left with Ye Chenxin.
