Chapter 168: Zuo Ci!

in principle?

Doesn’t the implication mean that we need to add more money?

When Liu Tianzhi saw this scene, he could only say that he had learned something. Sure enough, even those who possess strange skills would still be moved by these yellow and white things.

Jingxu taught him that things that can be solved with money are the simplest things, and it seems to be true.

Tian Suanzi's face gradually became serious, "But regarding this matter, I can only answer three of your questions. There really can't be any more."

Jingxu nodded, "That's enough."

"First of all, I want to know if the perpetrator is an inhuman being?"

Tiansuanzi shook his head, "No."

Jingxu asked again: "Has the perpetrator left Pingyang County?"

Tiansuanzi shook his head again, "No."

last question.

Jingxu: "Is this person's cultivation higher than mine?"

Tiansuanzi smacked his lips and said, "I really don't know this. I'd better ask my master to change the question."

Jingxu hesitated for a moment, "He arrived in Pingyang County within the past month?"

Tiansuanzi nodded, "Yes."

Jingxu looked at Tiansuanzi, "Isn't that you?"

Tian Suanzi laughed at his question, "Yes, Pindao meets all these characteristics, so you should arrest Pindao now. Pindao just hopes that the food can be richer."

Jingxu smiled, "It's just a joke, sir, don't mind."

With that said, Jingxu left with Liu Tianzhi.

After the two of them walked a long way, Jingxu said: "This person is not very suspicious, but he is not without suspicion."

Liu Tianzhi thought for a while, "Senior brother, why didn't you just ask for my name directly?"

"Wouldn't it be simpler to just ask the other suspect's name?"

Jingxu shook his head, "Name is the least valuable thing. A person can change his name at any time, or he can have many names."

"So there's not much point in asking for names."

"If Tiansuanzi did not lie to us, then the target range is now very small. Let's go to Guanyin Temple first."

With that said, the two set off again and rushed to Guanyin Temple.

Looking at the two people leaving, the operator smiled gently stroking his beard that day.

…

Outside Guanyin Temple in Tianyang County.

It is said that this place was built by the late emperor after he met a monk on the road and was inspired by his words to break through the demonic barriers in his heart.

The late emperor came here many times to chant sutras and recite Buddhist scriptures. It was widely spread that the late emperor Tianyong respected the Buddha but despised Taoism. Therefore, after his death, many Mahayana monks chose to come here to chant sutras for the late emperor.

Jingxu and Liu Tianzhi walked into Guanyin Temple and saw a young monk. "Amitabha, have you seen two donors? Are the two donors here to offer incense?"

Jingxu nodded, "I have seen the little mage. We are here to look for him. Is the great mage Zuo Ci here?"

The little mage nodded, "Master Zuo Ci is in the temple. Because many people have disappeared in Pingyang County in recent days, even the officers and soldiers concluded that these people must have entered the bliss of the afterlife."

"Master Zuo Ci felt that the deceased soul was at peace, so he stayed in the temple all day long chanting sutras to save the deceased soul."

Jingxu clasped her fists and said, "Thank you so much, little mage, for informing me."

With that said, Jingxu slowly walked into the main hall of Guanyin Temple with Liu Tianzhi.

Today, there are many monks wearing cassocks and holding beads in their hands sitting around, constantly reciting some kind of scripture.

Liu Tianzhi tried to listen to the scriptures they were reciting, but suddenly he felt a splitting headache!

"Well!"

Liu Tianzhi instantly held his head in his hands. He felt that his soul was about to be torn apart!

When Jingxu saw this, he immediately set up a soundproof formation, and Liu Tianzhi finally recovered, "Brother, what's going on?"

"Why do I get a headache whenever I hear them chanting scriptures?"

Jingxu glanced around, "What they recite is a rebirth mantra. It doesn't matter to mortals, but those with extremely strong spirituality in the lineage of immortals and ghosts will be affected by it."

"So people who cultivate immortality will not travel to temples. Even if they want to travel, they must close their ears most of the time."

Liu Tianzhi suddenly realized after hearing this, "That's it."

Jingxu dispersed the sound-isolating array and helped Liu Tianzhi close his ear openings, but Jingxu didn't need it because he had other methods.

As Jingxu glanced over, he saw such a person among the monks. He wrapped his face with a cloth and only exposed one eye.

He was covered in a black cassock, and there was a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck. After careful counting, there were a total of one hundred and one beads.

These beads have a meaning. For Buddhist practitioners, each beads on their chest represents a trouble.

Every time they eliminate a worry, there will be one more prayer beads on their chests.

People have one hundred and eight troubles. When all one hundred and eight troubles are eliminated, they can cultivate to perfection and achieve the status of Arhat.

"Namo Amitabha's night is Duotagaduo's night, and Duo Diye's Amitabha is the night of Duotagadu..."

Listening to the sound of Buddhist scriptures, Jingxu slowly approached the monk whose face was covered with cloth, "It is rumored that as long as one can sincerely recite the 200,000 Rebirth Mantra, all things will be enlightened. Is it true or not?"

The monk whose face was covered with cloth slowly opened his eye when he heard the words, "Amitabha, of course it is true. Did the donor come to see the poor monk for something?"

Jingxu clasped his palms together and said, "I have met Master Zuo Ci. I have something that I want to talk to you about alone. Is that possible?"

After hearing this, Zuo Ci gradually stood up and said, "Then follow the poor monk to the side hall."

With that said, Zuo Ci led the way directly into a side door. Seeing this, Jingxu and Liu Tianzhi quickly followed.

This side door leads directly to the side hall. After entering the side door, Zuo Ci slowly turned his head and said, "The two donors came here to look for the poor monk, but are you confused?"

Jingxu nodded, "Of course I'm confused. Master, what do you think of the disappearance of the people in Pingyang County?"

Hearing this, Zuo Ci's eyes showed sadness, "Amitabha, all living beings are suffering, and the souls of the dead are not at peace, so ordinary monks have no choice but to chant sutras all day long in order to save the souls here."

Jingxu frowned, "How can you be sure that these people are dead?"

Zuo Ci slowly closed his one eye, "Monks are compassionate and don't speak rootless words, but there are dead souls here who are at peace."

Jingxu thought for a while, "Master, are you coming to Pingyang County specifically to save these dead souls?"

Zuo Ci shook his head, "The poor monk traveled around and happened to pass by this place, so he rested here for a few days."

Whoosh!

At this moment, Jingxu suddenly took action, and saw the Qingfeng sword emerging from his hand, approaching Zuo Ci's throat!

Zuo Ci was stunned when he saw this. His eyes widened and he was defenseless, "Donor, what do you mean?"

Jingxu frowned when he saw this, and then slowly sheathed his sword, "I was presumptuous. I was just joking with you, Master."

"The two of us are here to investigate the missing persons in Pingyang County. We also hope that you can help us, master."
