Chapter 442 (1/2)



442 Question and answer (3)

Just then, a servant brought a horse from the back door and waited outside. Xu Qi ‘an immediately left.

When he arrived at the third Poplar station again, the sun was already setting in the West, and the evening sun was a magnificent golden-red color.

“You …”

The two monks who were guarding the door knew that they had been cheated of their feelings. They stared at Xu Qi ‘an with an unfriendly look.

“I am Xu Qi ‘an, the organizer of the Sang Bo case. Master du’ e summoned me. Please lead the way.” Xu Qi ‘an handed over the reins with a smile.

The two monks guarding the door took a deep breath and suppressed their anger. One took the reins and the other made a “please” gesture.

He followed the gatekeeper monk into the courier station and arrived at the inner courtyard.

It seemed like a fight had just happened here … Hengyuan was also working here … I’m sorry, I’ll definitely be a good person in the future.

He lowered his head guiltily and did not look at Hengyuan. Under the guidance of the monk, he entered a room.

There were three monks in the room. The one in the middle was sitting on a couch. He was an old monk with dark skin and a wrinkled face. His thin body couldn’t support his loose Kasaya, which looked a little funny at first glance.

On the left and right were Jing Chen and Jing si, whom he had met before.

Jing Chen stared at Xu Qi ‘an with an unfriendly look.

“Grandmaster du ‘E!” Xu Qi ‘an put his hands together and bowed.

“Lord Xu, why did you pretend to be the warrior monk of the Azure Dragon Temple, Heng Yuan?” the old monk returned the greeting and asked gently.

Xu Qi ‘an replied seriously, “”I want to find out what’s sealed under sang Bo.”

The old monk squinted his eyes and looked at him silently. His calm and gentle gaze was like a human scanner.

In front of the old monk, Xu Qi ‘an did not dare to have any internal drama. He gathered his scattered thoughts and did not allow himself to let his imagination run wild.

“The Sang Bo case was investigated by me, and I found many secrets. The temple of Yongzhen mountain and river was built on a large array, and evil things were sealed in the array. After the temple of Yongzhen mountain and river was destroyed and the evil beings were freed, I went into the water to investigate and found that the remaining stone pillars of the formation were engraved with Buddhist characters.

“In the beginning, I thought that the one sealed under sang Bo was the previous supervisor, but as the case progressed and Heng Hui appeared, it turned out that it was a broken hand sealed under sang Bo.

“From this, I speculate that the broken hand is related to Buddhism. But no matter if it was the supervisor or the imperial family, they kept it a secret.

“I, Xu Qi ‘an, have solved many big cases in the capital, and there is no case that I can’t solve. But this question was like a lump in my throat, causing me to be unable to sleep or eat all night.”

“That’s why you tested me before?” master du ‘e nodded slowly.

“It is!” Xu Qi ‘an said.

He had already thought of this excuse when he was impersonating Hengyuan. He would pretend to be a ‘lunatic’ who was persistent in solving the case and was still brooding over the origin of the broken hand and the secret behind it.

Therefore, after the Western Region’s diplomatic mission entered the capital, he pretended to be Hengyuan and came here to test the waters.

There was nothing wrong with his test. All the questions were pointed out and he did not reveal any information about monk Shen Shu. He fully played the role of the organizer who only knew a part of it and not the rest.

“Lord Xu, do you want to know more about the evil beings?” master du ‘e asked with a smile.
