Vol 2 Chapter 54: Come to the bottom?

Was cut off!
Xu Qi'an's eyes condensed, and his spirit instantly tightened, and this brief sentence aroused a strong sense of crisis and urgency.
Why can Jingxin and Jingyuan catch Chai Xian so quickly? This is unreasonable.
Chai Xian was more cautious after the small village’s killing of the door. Even if I had Dragon Qi radar, I couldn’t find Chai Xian’s hiding place.
What's more, it's Jingxin and Jingyuan, they can't see through the Dragon Qi host in the vast crowd.
"It must be something I have overlooked, or Jingxin and Jingyuan know some secrets that I don't know..."
Settling down, Xu Qi'an said calmly: "I know."
Li Lingsu immediately said: "I'll go and stare at Xing'er first, what plans does Senior have?"
"Protect yourself."
........Li Lingsu's mouth twitched, nodded, penetrated the cellar door, and disappeared.
As soon as the holy son left, Xu Qi'an immediately bared his teeth and felt that it was difficult.
"Jingxin and Jingyuan are the pinnacles of the four ranks. The combination of Zen masters and monks can basically suppress any system in the same realm. I am afraid that only the fourth ranks of Confucianism can counter the Buddhism precepts by lip service.
"The old monk Taling doesn't allow me to use the pagoda to suppress and kill Buddhist disciples. I can use it to protect myself. But now I am going to be a Buddhist monk, and the Buddha pagoda can't count on it...
"Chai Xian is one of the Nine Dao Dragon Qi hosts and must not fall into the hands of Buddhism. Fortunately, the enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark. They don't know my existence..."
Xu Qi'an made a decisive decision, cut off half of the snakes, insects, rats and ants, and manipulated the remaining half to continue exploring the Chaifu ancestral hall.
The vacant soul is used to manipulate the orange cat.
Outside the cellar, the lazily sleeping orange cat opened its amber eyes and faintly erected its pupils. It erected its arrogant little tail, like a sharp arrow.
...........
In the dark, Myolie Chai did not bring attendants, nor did he inform the Chai family.
Walking alone in the corridor, the cold wind howled, the lanterns hanging on both sides of the eaves swayed, the red halo illuminated her delicate face, reflected in her pupils, as bright as a gem.
After walking for a while, the inner hall was looking out, and bright candles came out from the doors and windows.
Outside the inner hall, there are more than a dozen Western monks standing, seeming to have delimited the surrounding area.
Chai Myolie moved closer, pushed open the door of the inner hall, and saw Jingxin and Senior Brother Jingyuan sitting in chairs, standing alone in the hall, bound by dark golden ropes.
"Chai Xian!"
Chai Myolie's eyes widened, her plain white face was distorted with anger, she walked two steps quickly, without saying anything, patted Chai Xian with a palm.
"No killing!"
Jing Xin exercised the precepts at the right time to dispel Chai Xing'er's idea of ​​attack.
"Xinger Chai, the benefactor, stay calm."
Jingxin got up, folded his hands together, his tone was not sloppy, and said:
"I have questioned Chai Xian using Buddhist precepts. He is not the real culprit who killed Chai Jianyuan, nor is he the one who has caused trouble in Xiangzhou during this period. The real culprit is someone else."
Chai Myolie's eyes wandered, and all three of them were staring at her.
"What's the meaning of Master Jingxin?" Chai Myolie frowned slightly: "Could it be possible that you suspect that I wronged him, that the Chai Mansion up and down wronged him, and the heroes of Xiangzhou who wronged him?"
The monk Jingyuan then got up, stepped forward with an overwhelming aura, and said lightly: "I am waiting to return here because of this. The Buddha does not punish the innocent, nor will he spare anyone who has sins."
"It seems that in the eyes of the two masters, my apricot is the guilty person."
At this time, the door of the inner hall was pushed open, wearing a black robe, and handsome and innocent Li Lingsu crossed the threshold.
Li Lingsu....... Jingxin and Jingyuan looked at each other, knowing his true identity, but deliberately ignored his existence.
There is no one in the eye, if this saint son is in his heyday, it will be easy to beat the two of you......... Li Lingsu felt that he was ignored, and muttered in his heart.
He glanced at Chai Xian not far away, and smiled: "Brother Chai Xian, long time no see."
When he and Chai Xian'er got together, they had a relationship with Chai Xian.
Compared to the beginning, Chai Xian seems to have experienced a lot of vicissitudes.
In addition, Li Lingsu was keenly aware of the location of Jingyuan Station, which happened to be able to "support" Chai Xian as quickly as possible.
And Jingxin always puts his hands together, and is ready to exercise the precepts at any time.
The defense is very tight. Even with Xu Qian's secret method, it is difficult to rob Chai Xian in front of the two of them... Li Lingsu thought without changing his face.
"It's you!"
Chai Xian obviously recognized Li Lingsu, and suddenly said: "A few days ago I thought my aunt was slutty and depraved, it turned out to be you."
Chai Myolie gave Chai Xian a vicious look, and could only compromise in front of the two monks, took a deep breath, and asked:
"What do you want to do?"
Jing Xin spoke up: "It's very simple. The poor monk questions you with precepts. If you can stand the test, you are innocent. If you can't..."
He did not go further, but the meaning was self-evident.
Now that the Dragon Qi host has been captured, there is no need to worry about the Chai Family and Chai Xing'er. With their cultivation base, let alone Xiangzhou, even Zhangzhou can push horizontally.
The monk Jingyuan stared at Chai Xing'er, with a strong momentum.
When everyone was talking, an orange cat stood under the window, pressed against the outer wall, pricked up its ears, and made a gesture of intently listening.
"After catching Chai Xian, Buddhism doesn't need to worry about anything anymore. This arrogance is immediately revealed..." The orange cat shook his ears and listened to distinguish his position.
It is found that Jingxin and Jingyuan are very close to Chai Xian.
"Even if the main body comes over and robs people with shadows, I am afraid that it will be discovered by the monk Jingyuan before it shows up... Hiss, it doesn't seem like the time to steal people tonight."
The cat's face showed a humane sadness.
In the hall, Myolie Chai nodded slightly, "Okay, that's it for the master."
Hearing that, everyone present, as well as Xu Qi'an outside, held their breath almost at the same time, waiting for the answer.
Jingxin puts his hands together: "Thank you for your cooperation."
He immediately exercised the commandment, and said solemnly: "Did you kill Chai Jianyuan?"
The voice fell, and the invisible but majestic force was exerted on Chai Xing'er, making her feel that people should be born sincere, and those who lie are not worthy of being a person.
In this state, she could not tell any lies, and replied:
"I didn't kill it."
She didn't kill Chai Jianyuan...This, this is different from what I thought. Isn't it because she poisoned him, then quickly killed Chai Jianyuan, and then lured Chai Xian over and blamed Chai Xian?
Jing Xin had already questioned Chai Xian with the precepts. He didn't need to lie about this matter, but if Chai Xing'er didn't kill him or Chai Xian killed him, who would it be?
Xu Qi'an thought under the window, and suddenly realized that this case was more complicated than he thought.
Jingxin and Jingyuan looked at each other, both frowned.
Xing'er didn't kill it. I knew Xing'er wouldn't do such a thing. Then who killed Chai Jianyuan? Li Lingsu frowned while overjoyed, only feeling that the case had become more complicated.
Jingxin asked in a deep voice, "Is it you who murdered and refined corpses all over Xiangzhou?"
Chai Myolie shook her head: "It's not me, it's Chai Xian."
Under the spell imposed by the "commandment", she can only tell the truth, not lie.
"Aren't you who else?"
Chai Xian was furious, feeling a little out of control: "You still have accomplices, you still have accomplices."
Jingxin's eyes lit up, and while the precepts and spells were still there, he asked: "Who is your accomplice and did your accomplice do it?"
Chai Myolie said frankly: "I have no accomplices. I didn't kill my eldest brother, nor did I do the murder outside."
There is no lying, this....... Jingxin and Jingyuan looked at each other, both of them were surprised and at a loss in the eyes of each other.
At this point, it can basically be concluded that Chai Xing'er is innocent, has neither murdered nor accomplices, and cannot be the person behind the scenes.
But the case also fell into a new deadlock.
Chai Xian murmured: "This is impossible, this is impossible..."
He can't seem to accept this ending.
Xu Qi'an under the window thought, not Chai Xing'er, nor Chai Xian, then Chai Lan is very likely... But the problem is that this girl never appeared from beginning to end. There are too few clues to make a judgment.
Xu Qi'an felt that he had returned to the time when he was in Beijing, facing various cases, and made his head bald with painstaking effort.
Li Lingsu suddenly said, "Where's Chai Lan? Have you forgotten Chai Lan?"
Hearing Li Lingsu's words, Chai Xian broke free from the confusion of his muttering thinking, and stared at each other angrily:
"Xiaolan has disappeared a long time ago, so you can blame it anyway."
Chai Myolie said:
"I don't know why the precepts are useless to Chai Xian, but the eldest brother did kill him, and he did the murder in Xiangzhou. This is what everyone in the Chai Mansion saw with their own eyes, and many outsiders witnessed his assault. Why don't the masters believe it? ."
Pure Heart:
"Chai Xian can't resist the commandments of poor monks. He really didn't lie. In addition, the previous donor Chai Xing'er, your remarks have many doubts. Chai Xian is not a person with the most evil nature. How could he be married to the donor Chai Lan? , To kill Enzhongrushan's foster father?
"Compared to this, isn't it safer to run away."
Smart, this monk and Xu Qian thought of going somewhere...Li Lingsu nodded slightly.
Myolie Chai sighed and said:
"I concealed something... Actually, Chai Xian, he, he is the illegitimate son of my elder brother."
These words sounded like thunder, and Jingxin and Jingyuan moved slightly, very shocked.
Xu Qian is right, Chai Xian is really Chai Jianyuan’s illegitimate son... Myolie really knew about this... Li Lingsu was not surprised because he knew the secret for a long time. .
As for Chai Xian, his pupils contracted violently as if encountering a strong light, and his face was stiff like a stone sculpture. From his sluggish gaze and dull expression, it can be seen that his mind is chaotic and unable to think.
Myolie Chai continued:
"He has an extreme personality since he was a child, and his elder brother was afraid that he would not be able to accept this fact, so he kept hiding it and raised him as a righteous son. As he grew older, he gradually developed an affection for his sister.
"The eldest brother has no choice but to marry the Huangfu family and marry Xiaolan as soon as possible.
"Unexpectedly, Chai Xian was so resentful that he killed his eldest brother and his personality was so extreme..."
"You bullshit!"
She was interrupted by a violent drink, and Chai Xian's forehead was blue with anger, obviously furious:
"Chai Myolie, you have to be slanderous. My parents have died since I was a child. I was adopted by my foster father when he saw that I was pitiful and qualified. You slander me, and you want to slander him. You vicious woman."
The monk Jingyuan frowned and asked Chai Xing'er: "What evidence do you have?"
Chai Myolie looked sideways at the door and said, "The evidence is here."
Immediately afterwards, he listened to the monk guarding outside the hall yelling: "Who?"
Jing Yuan looked towards the door and said loudly, "What happened?"
The monk outside the door responded: "Brother Jingyuan, there is a walking dead approaching."
Jing Yuan glanced at Chai Xing'er and said, "Let "he" come in."
The door of the inner hall was pushed open, and a man in a gray shirt walked in, his eyes were dead, his skin was pale and bloodless, like a walking dead.
It was Chai Jianyuan who had died two decades ago.
"Foster father........"
Chai Xian's mouth trembled.
Chai Xing'er manipulated the walking corpse into the seat and asked him to take off his shoes and expose his left foot.
Everyone took a closer look and found that Chai Jianyuan had six toes, but what could this indicate?
Chai Myolie said: "Chai Xian also has six toes."
Jingxinjingyuan Li Lingsu looked at Chai Xian together, but saw that his eyes were dull, staring at Chai Jianyuan's left foot in a daze, the blood on his face faded a little.
The handsome Zen master asked, "Donor Chai Xian, do you have six toes?"
Chai Xian's lips moved, and his jaw spasm, as if he lost his language function.
Jingxin and Jingyuan understood, the latter asked Chai Xing'er: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Myolie Chai shook her head sadly: "The eldest brother died at the hands of the righteous son. The Chai family still has a face and died at the hands of an illegitimate child. When this scandal spreads, how can the Chai family gain a foothold in Zhangzhou? The two masters are outsiders after all, how can I? Let me tell you the truth. Unless the matter has reached this point, I will definitely not make it public."
No, just because of the extreme personality, you won't tell him? The orange cat under the window frowned.
Jing Yuan nodded, accepting Chai Xing'er's explanation, and said:
"But Chai Xian passed the test of the precepts, and he was not the killer..."
"No!" Jing Xin shook his head and said, "It's him."
After all, in the confusion of everyone's expressions, the fourth-tier Zen master stared at Chai Xian and said:
"There is one thing I haven't asked the donor. You said you go to Sanshui Town to track down the person behind the scene. Then, how does the donor know that the person behind the scene will attack Sanshui Town?"
Hearing that, Chai Xian seemed to be hit by someone on his head, his pupils instantly dilated and he lowered his head.
"How do I know, how do I know..."
He stood blankly, lowered his head, and kept mumbling to himself.
This process lasted for about ten seconds. Suddenly, a low laughter sounded, gradually became louder, and finally turned into a wild laugh.
Chai Xian raised his head, Qing Jun's face was distorted, his eyes were full of crazy malice, and his laughter was loud and hoarse:
"How do I know? Because I was the one who killed!"
In an instant, he seemed to be another person.
"Yes, I killed Chai Jianyuan, I also did the murder in Xiangzhou, and I did everything."
He laughed nervously:
"I have not had a father since I was born, and my mother was depressed. In order to support me, she worked hard and died of illness. I became a beggar since I was a child, bullied, and suffered so much. He died.
"Do you know how I came here in those years? I'm not as good as a dog. But it doesn't matter, as long as Xiaolan is with me, I can abandon the past. But he even takes Xiaolan away from me.
"Don't people like this deserve to die? Shouldn't they!"
Chai Xian at this time, and the image of gentle and Qingjun, are like two people.
Exorcism? Li Lingsu suddenly realized: "So that's the way it is, he is suffering from the absence of soul."
Schizophrenia? ! Xu Qi'an under the window also suddenly realized.
He finally understood why this case was so chaotic, and contradictions occurred at each stage, because there were two Chai Xians.
The normal Chai Xian certainly did not have the motive to kill Chai Jianyuan, but another Chai Xian who knew his life experience had this motive. He was an extremely paranoid person.
Normal Chai Xian thought he was innocent, and someone behind the scenes framed him, so he insisted on not leaving Xiangzhou in an attempt to find out the truth.
But in fact, the person behind the scenes is himself, another personality.
This caused inconsistencies in the case.
He also did the murder of the door in the small mountain village... Xu Qi'an finally understood that Chai Xing'er had a proof of his alibi, and it was unnecessary.
At first he felt strange, if it was Chai Xing'er who killed the family of three, why not take the opportunity to ambush Chai Xian? There is no point in killing a few innocent villagers.
But for another personality, Chai Xian must be prevented from participating in the Demon Slaying Conference, because the murderer is himself, he did all the murders, and he is not innocent at all.
When I went to the Demon Slayer Conference, there was a dead end, just like now.
"Hey, there is progress in the ancestral hall..." Orange Cat An closed his eyes.
.............
In the cellar on the other side, Xu Qi'an received feedback from a mouse. The mouse "telled" him that there is a secret room under the ancestral hall~EbookFREE.me~ which sneaked into the secret room through a cave.
All the snakes, insects, rats and ants inside and outside the ancestral hall were out of control at the same time.
The mouse starts to catch the insects around it, and the snake that wakes up from hibernation follows the instinct of eating and catches the mouse.
"The secret rooms under the ancestral hall are really rewarding..." Xu Qi'an abandoned them, focusing on controlling the orange cat and the mouse that found the secret room.
This relieved his load at once, and his headache disappeared.
In the secret room where the air is a little dull, there are a few oil lamps in the hollow of the wall.
Deep in the secret room, an unkempt woman was trapped by iron chains on her limbs, sitting leaning on a pile of rotten straw.
Her mouth was plugged in a leather muzzle, her head was limply pulled aside, her chest was slightly undulating, her breathing was fairly steady, and she seemed to be asleep.
Myolie Chai came to the South Yard the night before, and met this woman?
Is Chai Myolie locked her here?
The mouse walked through the dim halo of the oil lamp, stopped in front of the woman, and said:
"wake up!"
The woman moved her head and slowly awakened. Seeing the mouse in front of her, she was visibly stunned and did not respond for a long time.
The mouse said, "Who are you?"
"Woohoo..."
Under the woman's messy hair, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if a desperate person saw hope.
She struggled violently, extremely agitated, and the struggling chains rattled.
"who are you?"
The mouse asked again. It looked down at its small front paws and said, "You can write."
The woman's fingers tremblingly wrote two words on the wall:
"Chai Lan!"
