Chapter 5 Chapter Four: Sutra Sound and Buddha Fire
Ah Fa, I haven't seen A Rui's shadow recently, where did that girl go?A middle-aged woman with gray hair and a short, fat body was chopping a winter melon on the chopping board with a knife, while yelling loudly, that girl doesn't want the vegetable money on credit a few days ago?The second host has just paid this month's vegetable money, where is Ari?
The young man who chopped firewood replied: I heard that a few days ago I was delivering food to the temple next door, maybe I should go home after taking the money.The middle-aged woman who was chopping vegetables squinted her eyes: Ah Fa, let me tell you a strange thing.
The eyes of the young man who chopped wood lit up: I also discovered a strange thing recently, so tell me yours first.
The middle-aged woman said: "The loofah I planted outside the library in the back bloomed for several days, a full month earlier than last year!"
Ah Fa said: What's so strange about this?I saw something weird outside the library.
He said mysteriously: "I have seen that person several times. Every night when the moon is full, there will be a little red light on the other side of the library, swaying in it. Last night I was also the one who had the courage to go." Peep, do you know what's in there?
He leaned close to the ear of the middle-aged woman, and said furtively, inside was a half-grown woman, a ghost!
The middle-aged woman was taken aback: What nonsense are you talking about?This is the Baichuan Courtyard. How dare you say that there are ghosts in the courtyard?
Ah Fa swears to God: Really, I went to see it this morning. The library was clean and there was nothing there, but last night there was a half-length woman walking around in it, although only a back was seen. , but if it's not a female ghost, what is it?
That's your kid having a crazy dream!The middle-aged woman scolded with a smile, swiped the kitchen knife, and quickly went to find A Rui, and gave out the food money.
1. Monks don’t tell lies
Qingyuan Mountain, Florida.
Qingyuan Mountain is a small mountain with trees on the mountain, water at the foot of the mountain, and houses in the mountain. One of them is called Baichuanyuan, which is the place where Sigumen Buddha Bibaishi lived. Pudu Temple is a temple.
This temple is no different from ordinary temples. There is an old monk in the temple, called the abbot.The abbot of Pudu Temple has lost his dharma name. He is an old monk with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and the bones of a bodhisattva.The abbot that Puci mentioned is the abbot who is seriously ill occasionally and the doctors are at a loss.
Abbot Wu has lived in seclusion in Qingyuan Mountain for more than ten years. It is said that he was a powerful figure, but after taking charge of Pudu Temple, he spends his days in Qing Dynasty. He rarely goes out. Walking and practicing martial arts by the pagoda, he is kind and loving, but when he suddenly falls ill, everyone in the temple is very worried.
The five-foot-tall stupa presents a simple, solemn, and peaceful atmosphere in the temple under the sunlight. The shadow of the stupa reflects the quietness and tranquility of the room, and the sutras are resounding.
Li Lianhua stared at Abbot Wu who was sitting on the bed with a smile all over his face, and after a while he let out a breath and said: Do you know that there is a saying that monks don't tell lies?
Abbot Wu Wu smiled: If it wasn't for that, how could Master Li be willing to come?
Li Lianhua sighed, and answered irrelevantly: Are you not sick?
Without the abbot shook his head: Kangtai is the same as before.
Li Lianhua patted her buttocks: Since you are not sick, I will leave.
He turned around and strode away, he really had no intention of staying behind.
Master Li!Without the abbot shouting behind, Li Lianhua stepped out of the door without looking back.
Li Lianhua!Without the abbot, he was forced to speak out and shouted.
Li Lianhua stopped, turned around and smiled at him, walked back very politely, patted the dust on the chair and sat down: What's the matter?
Abbot Wu stood up and smiled slightly: "Benefactor Li, I have no intention of inquiring about the outcome of the First World War. It's just that you have been missing for ten years. There are more than a hundred people who are worried and regretful for Benefactor Li. Are you really determined to see your old friend when you die?"
Li Lianhua smiled: So what if you see it, so what if you don't see it?
The Abbot Wu said softly: Seeing, you will untie your knots and prolong your life: no see
He paused, missing
Li Lianhua chuckled: If I don't see you, will my life be short?
Abbot Wuli said sincerely: I met Li benefactor by chance in Pingshan Town that day, the old monk has a little knowledge of medicine, and Li benefactor is injured in the three classics.
Li Lianhua asked: I am afraid of what?
Without the abbot pondering for a long time, he said slowly: I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the two-year period.
He raised his head and looked at Li Lianhua: I don't know why the benefactor Li didn't see his old friend, but I dared to guess, but because of Biqiu?In fact, Piqiu came from the closed Baichuan hospital for ten years, and his pain was beyond anyone's imagination. Why didn't Li benefactor open his mind and forgive him?
Li Lianhua smiled and said slowly: The old monk likes to guess riddles very much, but he guesses all wrong
At this moment, the little novice served two cups of tea, and the abbot smiled slightly, and changed the subject: Dingyuan, please invite Nephew Pushen to my meditation room.
The little novice Ding Yuan said respectfully: Master Pushen is meditating in the room, Ding Yuan dare not disturb him.
Without the abbot nodded, the little novice retreated.
Nephew Pushen grew up in Pudu Temple since he was a child. He is the only Buddhist disciple in this temple who has studied swordsmanship. It has been his wish for many years to compete with Xiangyi Taijian.There is no abbot said.
Li Lianhua groaned: Li Xiangyi has been dead for ten years.
Abbot Wu said: "Xiangyi Taijian is also dead?" .
Li Lianhua coughed: This is Li Xiangyi's fault, he forgot to write a sword manual when he was alive
No Abbot smiled wryly, and shook his head.
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the window, and something fell down. Li Lianhua and Abbot Wu looked up, and saw a five or six-foot-tall tree in the backyard of Pudu Temple broke off from the top of the tree, like a house. The canopy of the tree suddenly fell to the ground, crushing the two monks' rooms. Two monks ran out of the room and looked up at the big tree with horror on their faces, completely puzzled as to why the tree fell down.Soon a large number of monks gathered under the crown of the tree, and the abbot and Li Lianhua also rushed over. After taking a look, it seemed that the crown of the tree was eaten by insects and blown down by the wind.
Although this is a strange thing, it is not a big deal. Without the abbot, let the monks disperse, and still go to read scriptures and sweep the floor.Li Lianhua walked around the temple with the abbot for a few times, the abbot smiled and said: "The vegetarian food in Pudu Temple is very good, and the vegetarian pine cone fish produced by Master Gu in the kitchen is amazing. I wonder if Li Lianhua is interested in trying it?"
Li Lianhua was about to agree, when suddenly a young novice reported: "The firewood room is smoking, and there is a lot of firewood missing in it. There may be a smoldering fire, which has been burning for a while."Without the abbot, it would be inconvenient to accompany the guests, so Li Lianhua had no choice but to say goodbye and go out, feeling a great pity in her heart.
Seeing that the dying abbot had returned to normal in an instant, all the monks couldn't help secretly praising Li Lianhuaguo as a miracle doctor in the world, with incomparable medical skills and a well-deserved reputation.
Li Lianhua left the gate of Pudu Temple. When he turned his head, he saw a few wisps of black smoke floating from the stupa of Pudu Temple. He sighed, then yawned, and walked towards his Lotus Tower.
It took Master Puhui ten days to invite him from Xueyu Town to Qingyuan Mountain with four oxen, and the lotus building was placed next to Pudu Temple.He touched the newly patched board, and was extremely satisfied with the meticulousness of the monk Puci. Then he stepped into the newly repaired house comfortably, and searched here and there, looking for something.
Just when Li Lianhua stepped into the Lianhua Building and closed the gate, a galloping horse galloped across the mountain road of Qingyuan Mountain, that is, passed the gate of the Lianhua Building, but the passengers on the horse didn't know what the building was, so they rushed straight into the building. Baichuan Courtyard.
Obviously, the person who came was a disciple of Baichuanyuan. If Li Lianhua saw him or he would be shocked when he saw Li Lianhua, this person who rode his horse past Li Lianhua's gate and didn't know him was Guo Fu who met in Cailianzhuang more than ten days ago. Mr. Guo.
2. Encounter on a narrow road
Yun Biqiu!Yun Biqiu!Master!Suddenly, there was a sound like the roar of a lion in the quiet and desolate Baichuan Courtyard. A person first rushed into Ji Hanfo's room, then came out from his back door, then rushed into Baijiang Quail's room, came out from his back door, and then went out from Yun Biqiu's window. He broke in, grabbed Yun Biqiu who was writing with a brush, and shouted: Master!
Yun Biqiu frowned and looked at this apprentice he brought up according to Li Xiangyi's teachings, and this apprentice was of course Guo Fu.When Guo Fu was eleven years old, he was sent to the Sigu Sect and sent under his door, but in his autistic room, he could neither teach him to read nor to teach him martial arts, so the other brothers under the Sigu Sect often looked at him with pity. , give pointers one or two from time to time.This child is upright and pure in nature, although his savvy is not high, he has a good memory, so after ten years of learning a trick from the east and a stick from the west, he has actually developed a solid martial arts.It was also because he felt guilty about the child, and Li Xiangyi hated hypocrisy the most, so he never restrained Guo Fu's various reckless behaviors, but now he regretted it, at least he should teach him to find someone to come in through the gate.
Didn't you go home?
Yun Biqiu, I married a wife.Guo Fu said this first.
Yun Biqiu smiled wryly, and there was a slight gloomy look in his eyes: Then congratulations, I really didn't think of it as a teacher, otherwise I should give you a gift.
Guo Fu was discouraged: But his wife died again.
Yun Biqiu was stunned: how come?
Guo Fu grabbed him and said loudly: "I saw a strange man at home!"His name is Li Lianhua. It suddenly occurred to me the day before yesterday that you and the second uncle seemed to have mentioned this person. He is my benefactor. Please tell me where he lives. Dad and I will bring gifts to thank him.
Li Lianhua?Yun Biqiu hadn't understood what this reckless apprentice was excited about, but there was a faint feeling in his heart that it was Li Lianhua again!Just as Guo Fu was urging and Yun Biqiu was thinking, suddenly there was a burning smell in the air, and a faint hot air blew in from the window. The two looked out: an old building in Baichuan Court suddenly caught fire, and the The fire started strangely, and the blazing flames rolled out from the window, it seemed that the fire in the room had already ignited a lot, and only at this moment did it burn out of the room.
Nanfei, bring water.Loud voices sounded outside the window, Ji Hanfo had arrived at the scene of the fire, commanding his disciples to fetch water to put out the fire.
The white river quail had already entered the room like a swimming duck. A person had just arrived. He had a green face, a big mole on his nose, and several black hairs. This ugly man was Shi Shui. He As expected of the famous water, several palms were issued, and there was an icy air in the wind of the palms, and only the sound of sizzle was heard, white air rose from the burning house, and the fire was suppressed immediately.
Guo Fu yelled, jumped out of Yunbiqiu's window, and together with Funanfei carried dozens of catties of water buckets to fight the fire, after more than half an hour, the fire was extinguished, and the black smoke still shot straight into the sky.
With a cluck, Baijiang Quail came out of the room, Ji Hanfo saw that his face was a little strange, and frowned: How about it?
Go in and see for yourself, his grandma's me is about to choke to death from the smoke.The white river quail fanned itself vigorously, its fat face was covered with soot, and someone died inside.
Ji Hanfo frowned: Is there someone?who?
The white river quail's face is not very good-looking: How can you tell who it is with just a meatball?Damn it, I don't know who peeled off the dead man's skin, and the bloody tender meat was roasted by the fire, it became like a roast chicken, ghosts can recognize who it is!
Anger flashed in Ji Hanfo's eyes, and the boss of Baijiang Quail was angry. He stepped aside in surprise, letting Ji Hanfo and Shi Shui stride into the burnt room.
This is an old building that collects books. Yun Biqiu became obsessed with reading when he was young, and his family was wealthy, so his collection of books was as vast as the sea of clouds.After Sigumen disbanded and settled in Baichuanyuan, he had lost a lot of books when he was young, but there was still a room on the first floor.The more cherished books are all in his current room, and the rest of the books are hidden in this building. It is also because of the large collection of books that the fire burns very fast.
Ji Hanfo stepped into the room where the flames were still lingering, and saw that the flames were burning from under the floor, a gap was blown in the ground, the bottom was hollow, and the fire was still shining.Ji Hanfo probed down, and saw that there seemed to be a simple tunnel under the floor that should have been mud. The flames were burning on the ground. Observing the burning state and smell, it should be oil.And looking towards the end along the flame, there is a vaguely lying mass, covered in black and red, it is really a dead person whose skin has been torn off.
Shi Shui suddenly said: It wasn't because someone peeled her skin, but because boiling oil was poured on her body, causing blisters, and the skin was torn off when she undressed.This person was ugly, and his voice was like a mouse squawking and creaking, so that even the disciples were afraid when they saw him.
Ji Hanfo nodded, the flames below were not extinguished, he flicked five fingers, and five light winds swept over the place where the fire started under the tunnel, and quickly sizzled several times, and the flames were all extinguished.Ji Hanfo swept down from the hole with a swipe, and landed lightly beside the oil stains. Baijiang Quail secretly praised from behind. The boss is indeed the boss. Watching Ji Hanfo and Shi Shui go down the tunnel and explore.
This is a very crude tunnel, excavated according to the natural cracks, the two stared at the bloody corpse for a while, horrified. There is also a wound, and the death is horrific. She has breasts on her chest, which should be a woman.Looking at each other, the two groped forward in a tacit understanding, walking side by side.After walking about twenty zhang, the light behind him was no longer visible. Even though the two had superb inner strength, they could no longer see things. The remaining smoke in the passageway was still there. The two held their breath and moved forward slowly by relying on their ears.After walking like this for half a stick of incense, there was suddenly a slight sound of footsteps not far ahead.Both Ji Hanfo and Shi Shui were taken aback: There are actually people in this tunnel?
The two stood quietly on both sides of the aisle, only listening to the person coming from the other side of the aisle getting closer and closer, humming a song in their noses, as if to embolden themselves, when they walked five feet in front of them, the person suddenly asked: "Who is there?" ?
Ji Hanfo and Shi Shui's hearts trembled: "You can't see your fingers here. The person coming here is walking heavily, obviously not good at martial arts. The two of them stood with closed breaths. It is absolutely impossible to leak the slightest sound, and there is absolutely no malice. This person can kill himself before five feet away." Be alert, is it intuition, or are the two of them changing their minds, but they hear the man continue to hum a song and slowly enter, and then walk three or five feet, then stand still suddenly, and shout who is it again?
Ji Hanfo and Shi Shui frowned. It turned out that this man didn't notice them, but called out every time they walked, which was a bit funny.Ji Hanfo coughed lightly: friend.
Shi Shui had already passed by, and put his hand on the man's shoulder, and the man suddenly yelled: "There is a ghost!"He ran forward with his head in his arms, but Shi Shui's detection missed by a tiny bit, so he swung the whip and brought the man back silently. There were only ten people in Jianghu, and this is the eleventh one, but this person obviously didn't feel honored at all, panicked and yelled that there was something wrong.
Friends, we are not evil people, just to ask you a few things.Ji Hanfo was not surprised that this person broke free from Shishui, and said slowly, the first question, who are you?
The man who was firmly bound by the whip of Shishuiqingque replied: I am passing by.
Ji Hanfo let out a hey, and asked lightly: The second question, why are you in this tunnel?
The passer-by said: I’m wronged, I’m sleeping in my own house, I don’t know who rode past my door, the horse’s hoof was so heavy, it shook the ground, suddenly the floor of the hall collapsed, I just came down to see what happened thing
Both Ji Hanfo and Shi Shui frowned, and Shi Shui suddenly asked: Where do you live?
The voice made the visitor yelp, and after a while he said in a trembling voice: I, I, I, I just moved here, and I live on the side of the road, at the gate of Pudu Temple.
Ji Hanfo pondered for a while, and Guo Fu came here on horseback just now, so he couldn't help believing it: What's your name? .
The man said: My surname is Li
Shi Shui interrupted again, and said in a dark way: Your voice is very familiar.
The man laughed: really?Ha ha ha ha
Ji Hanfo said indifferently: The first question, if you are so timid, why do you dare to go so far into the tunnel?Although he didn't know where the tunnel led, it was obviously still quite a distance from the entrance of Purdue Temple.
The man gave a dry laugh: I'm lost.
Ji Hanfo was noncommittal, obviously not convinced,
Shi Shui asked gloomyly again: Who are you?
The man said: My surname is Li, and my name is Li.
Shishui Qingque's whip tightened, he cried out in agony, and reluctantly said, "It's called Lianhua."
Li Lianhua?Both Ji Hanfo and Shi Shui were totally unexpected, the man felt ashamed, Shi Shui took the whip away: it turned out to be Dr. Li.
Although he said that it was Dr. Li, there was no trace of admiration in his tone, just like saying that it was this pig.
But because Li Lianhua revealed her identity and cleared up the misunderstanding, she heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: Exactly.
Ji Hanfo is faint and authentic in the next Ji Hanfo.
Shi Shui followed and said: I'm going to Shi Shui.
Li Lianhua had no choice but to say: I have admired you for a long time.
Ji Hanfo said: Since you and I are not enemies, can Dr. Li tell us how you got down into this tunnel and why you came here?
Li Lianhua sighed, let Ji Hanfo grasp the handle, it is not easy to get rid of it, he simply said: Actually, it is because, today, something happened when I was helping Abbot Wu to heal his illness
He recounted the morning's incident: I think the tree fell strangely
Ji Hanfo said indifferently: "Sound east and west."
Li Lianhua nodded, and suddenly thought that he couldn't see him nodding, and hurriedly said: "Extremely, Ji Daxia is brilliant."
Ji Hanfo frowned, Li Lianhua's voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember whose voice it was. Hearing him say that Ji Daxia is brilliant, he felt extremely awkward.
Just listen to Li Lianhua continuing: The most eye-catching thing in Pudu Temple is that the stupa outside the abbot's meditation room can break off the tops of trees as high as five feet. One possibility is that there is a strong wind, and the other possibility is that was shot down.Except for strong winds, only on stupas with the same height of five feet can it be possible to break the treetops instead of knocking down the whole tree.
After a pause, he said again, the relics of eminent monks are hidden inside the relic tower, which is located in the center of Pudu Temple. There are people coming and going around the pagoda on weekdays. It is impossible to get out of the stupa, which is only five feet high, without being noticed, so
You mean: There is a person, somehow in the stupa, he wants to get out of it, but he doesn't want to be found, so he breaks the big tree to attract the monks to watch, and he takes advantage of the monks' attention to focus on the broken tree. Go up, come out of the tower, escape?
Shi Shui said coldly: It's unbelievable, what about that person?No one was caught, no matter what the reason, it was hard for Shi Shui to believe that there was someone in the stupa.
Li Lianhua smiled bitterly: Most of this is speculation
Ji Hanfo said slowly: This is not unbelievable, Shishui, there is a tunnel here.
Shi Shui snorted: so what?
Ji Hanfo said in a low voice: How do you know that the tunnel does not lead to the stupa?
Shi Shui shuddered, suddenly speechless.
Ji Hanfo continued to walk deep into the tunnel: If there is a person who comes down from the entrance of the library, walks along this tunnel to the stupa, breaks the big tree, escapes from the stupa, and then goes back through the gate of Baichuanyuan, what do you say? Impossible?
Shi Shui asked gloomyly: You said there are spies in Baichuan Courtyard?
Ji Hanfo said indifferently: I don't know.
He suddenly asked Li Lianhua, it was quite remarkable that Doctor Li could find this tunnel just by guessing.
Li Lianhua groaned: Actually, it was because the firewood room of Pudu Temple was smoking. When I came out, I saw the stupa was also smoking. I suddenly wondered whether these two places are connected. Later, I saw Baichuanyuan It seems that a house is also smoking, so I wonder if the three places are all connected
Ji Hanfo was not surprised: Where did you come from?
Li Lianhua was a little bit hard to deal with by him, and was dumbfounded for a long time: I
Ji Hanfo said indifferently: You thought that Pudu Temple and Baichuanyuan might be connected, so you found a place where you thought there might be a tunnel, dug a hole, and came down, right?
Li Lianhua gave a dry laugh: ahahahaha
Ji Hanfo said indifferently: This tunnel does lead to Baichuanyuan, now can you tell me if the other end leads to the stupa?
Li Lianhua paused for a long time, and could only sigh: Yes.
Ji Hanfo said slowly: "If my master Li is still alive, he will definitely scold you to death
Li Lianhua continued to smile wryly: Yes
Shi Shui also said coldly: a smart person pretends to be stupid, but he is the most stupid in the world.
Li Lianhua even claimed it was, with a helpless face.
The three of them passed through the tunnel formed by natural gaps. There are two exits in this tunnel, one is the firewood room of Pudu Temple, and the other is the stupa.It's just that the exit of Pudu Temple was firmly suppressed by the firewood, and only the exit of the stupa could pass through.The exit of the stupa is due to the age and the broken stone slabs at the bottom. The exit under the firewood room seems to be the real exit, but the monks of Pudu Temple piled a lot of firewood on it, and it cannot be opened.
The three of them identified the terrain and returned to Baichuanyuan by the original road. Li Lianhua suddenly heard Ji Hanfo say: Doctor Li, or someone escaped from the tunnel after hurting someone, and there is a corpse left at the entrance of the tunnel in our Baichuanyuan.
Li Lianhua was taken aback: Corpse?
Just as he was talking about the corpse, he suddenly felt that his right foot stepped on something, and he yelled: "There is a ghost!"
The Shishui Qingque whip came out in response, wrapped the thing with a slap, paused slightly, and said indifferently: It's just a chicken bone.
Li Lianhua groaned: Ashamed, ashamed.
3. Personnel are no longer
Ji Hanfo, Shi Shui, and Li Lianhua walked slowly towards the entrance of the tunnel where the corpses were placed, and the light gradually became more abundant. With the eyesight of Ji Hanfo and Shi Shui, they only need a little light, and they can be clearly seen within several feet around them.Suddenly seeing Li Lianhua's face, both of them changed their expressions: you, you
Li Lianhua blinked: what am I?
Ji Hanfo's originally calm and calm face showed a rare look of horror: Who are you?
Li Lianhua was at a loss: who am I?From heaven and earth to man, man begets man again, descendants, grandchildren, grandsons, who am I is an eternal problem
Ji Hanfo looked at his face carefully for a long while, heaved a long breath, and murmured: No.
Shi Shui's face was extremely ugly, he strode away suddenly, jumped out of the hole by himself, and walked away.
Li Lianhua touched her cheek: What's wrong?
Ji Hanfo coughed lightly: You look very much like an old friend, but your eyebrows are very light, he has long eyebrows, your complexion is yellower, and he is as white as jade.If he lived to this day, he would be twenty-eight or nine, but you are much younger than him.
Li Lianhua echoed, apparently not knowing what he was talking about, Ji Hanfo turned his head silently, and the two of them walked seventy or eighty feet forward, and the corpse that had been burned beyond recognition and had a broken hand was right in front of them.
Li Lianhua squatted down to examine the body, Ji Hanfo let out a long breath, he decided that Li Lianhua was not the reason for Li Xiangyi, except for the fact that Li Lianhua's eyebrows and skin color were different, Li Lianhua's nose was slightly shorter, and there were a few faint pockmarks on her cheeks, although It's not ugly, but it's still far behind Li Xiangyi's peerless demeanor. What's more, Li Lianhua's behavior is a thousand miles away from Li Xiangyi's. similarity, or just a coincidence.
The man was doused with oil, his hands were chopped off, he was stabbed with a sword, and his head was smashed.Li Lianhua stared at the dead man for a long time. She was killed four times.
Ji Hanfo nodded, still staring at his face intently.Li Lianhua let him watch, sighed leisurely, and looked around in the tunnel. There was only a support like a stove built by three thick branches in the tunnel. It was probably used to put the oil pan, but no pan was found. , There are many branches on the ground, and many chicken bones and duck bones are discarded.
Baijiang Quail had also seen Li Lianhua's appearance. He was as careful as Ji Hanfo, and saw many plausible things at a glance. He was full of doubts and wondered if he could recognize him.The disciples of Baichuanyuan began to tidy up the library and carry the corpses. Li Lianhua thought about it for a long time, but she didn't recognize the appearance of the dead, and angrily said that she would go home to practice medicine. Ji Hanfo wanted to stay with him, but couldn't think of it For some reason, he asked Baijiang Quail to send someone out, but he didn't. He went back to the room by himself, thinking about the window.
Babbling, the door of Ji Hanfo's room opened suddenly, he turned around abruptly, looked at the person who walked in with his hands behind his back, and frowned slightly: You?
The visitor came in white clothes, and before he came in, he coughed twice: "Ahem, it's me."
When Ji Hanfo saw this person, he didn't seem to be happy, and said indifferently: "You actually went out?"
The person who came had an elegant face, but his appearance was haggard. It was Yun Biqiu who coughed violently when he heard the words: cough cough cough me. He coughed for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief. I saw the sect master.
Ji Hanfo still said indifferently: That's not the sect master, it just looks alike.
Yun Biqiu shook his head, and said softly: "Turned into ashes, I also recognize that the pockmarks on his face are the art of piercing the brain cough cough piercing the brain with the needle eye cough cough golden needle."I used the poison of green tea to poison him back then. To cure the poison of green tea, besides my unique antidote, another method is to pierce the brain with golden needles very deeply, so that the poisonous cough in the brain can be released.
He coughed non-stop, Ji Hanfo's whole body trembled: You mean he is really the sect master?But ten years later, how could he be so young
Li Lianhua looked only about twenty-four or five. Since he was seriously injured, how could he look younger?Yun Biqiu said: "Did you forget that he practiced Yangzhou Slow?"The foundation of Yangzhou's slowness can't be destroyed even by the poison of green tea, so what's so strange about making him stay young?
Ji Hanfo said indifferently: You still remember clearly what you did when you murdered him.
Yun Biqiu said tremblingly: Back then I was confused for a moment.
Ji Hanfo let out a hey: If the door master is alive, why doesn't he go back to Baichuan Courtyard?
Yun Biqiu said slowly: Because maybe because he thought Keke thought we were all betrayed
Ji Hanfo slapped his palm on the table with a slap, and said in a low voice, "Yun Biqiu, don't say any more, lest I can't stand it and kill you with one palm!"
Yun Piqiu is coughing badly, big brother!
Ji Hanfo shouted angrily, and his beard was on fire: Don't call me big brother!
Yun Biqiu took a few deep breaths, turned around sadly, and staggered out the door.Ji Hanfo's lingering anger still persisted. When Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng fought in the East China Sea, Yun Biqiu was bewildered by Jiao Liqiao's beauty, and even poisoned Li Xiangyi's tea. The poison of green tea is the most vicious medicinal powder in the world. Not only does it break one's skill, but also the power of the medicine hurts the brain, and in severe cases, it makes people mad and die.Yun Biqiu was so mad back then that he not only poisoned Li Xiangyi's tea, but also led the Sigumen and his party to the already empty city of the Jinluan League Lord Hall, leaving Li Xiangyi to fight alone, and disappeared over the East China Sea.But after Li Xiangyi disappeared, Baijiang Quail came to him with a sword to settle the score, but Yun Biqiu regretted it so much that he let Bai Jiangqual stab his chest with a sword, but he did not die, but he killed himself with the sword again and was saved by Shi Shui.Seeing that he was truly repentant and in extreme pain, he was not expelled from the Sigu family when they separated.But even though Yun Biqiu stayed in his autistic room for ten years, Ji Hanfo still couldn't truly forgive him.
In the Baichuan Courtyard, Ji Hanfo was excited, Yun Biqiu was in extreme pain, all because he found out that Li Lianhua was Li Xiangyi, but Li Lianhua returned to the Auspicious Pattern Lotus Building leisurely, and at the moment, he was sweeping the floor while regretting not staying in Baichuan Courtyard for dinner , but also spend five more copper coins, and walk two miles to the small town at the foot of the mountain to eat noodles.
After half an hour.
With a soft slap, someone's palm rested on the door of the lotus flower building with auspicious patterns, but he neither knocked nor pushed the door to enter, just like a person standing at the door, caressing the door, in a daze.Li Lianhua finished sweeping the floor, and carefully wiped the dust in the building. After waiting for a long time, he still didn't wait for someone to knock on the door. When he finished cleaning the window, he opened the window with a babble, and poked his head out: Who?Please come in Huh?
Standing outside his door, wondering whether to advance or retreat was Yun Biqiu, looking at Li Lianhua's dusty face protruding from the window, he twitched the corner of his mouth, not knowing whether to cry or laugh: door master
Li Lianhua slammed the window shut: You have identified the wrong person.
Yun Biqiu was silent for a long time, and he said slowly: "It is also Yun Biqiu who is still alive and has no face to the sect master. Piqiu was so mad back then, I am sorry to the sect master."
With a flip of his wrist, a dagger was in his hand, and he was about to stab it in the chest to end this life.At this moment, the door opened with a bang, and the left door hit Yun Biqiu's left shoulder, knocking him staggering, and the dagger could not penetrate his chest, Li Lianhua yelled: "Who are you?"What are you going to do?
Yun Biqiu was stunned: Who am I?The person in front of him is obviously Li Xiangyi. Although Li Xiangyi would never shout so much, but this person's appearance, height and voice are all Li Xiangyi. How could he ask who you are?
Who are you?Li Lianhua looked at him cautiously, looked at the dagger in his hand with some awe, shrunk her neck, what do you want to do?
Yun Biqiu was confused by him, and asked blankly: "Sect Master?"
Li Lianhua looked around: the doorpost?My house is small, there is only a house without a yard, so there are no gateposts
Yun Biqiu stared at him blankly, and said in confusion, "Master, I am Biqiu, how did you become like this?"
Li Lianhua wondered: Are you a ball?
Yun Piqiu was startled again: Ball?
Li Lianhua said sincerely: This hero's surname is Li, Li Lianhua, he has a little knowledge of Qi and Huang, his martial arts are not high, and his knowledge is not great. I wonder who the gatepost this hero is looking for?
His words were sincere, without the slightest intention of joking, but Yun Biqiu was confused: Are you not Li Xiangyi?
Li Lianhua shook her head: No.
Yun Biqiu stared at his face for a long time: But you look exactly like him.
Li Lianhua breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled gently: "Ah, it's like this. When I was born, I was a sibling. My mother gave birth to two. One is Li Lianpeng and the other is Li Lianhua. Li Lianpeng is the elder brother and I am the younger brother."However, because of the poor family background, my elder brother was adopted by an old man who passed by shortly after he was born. I have never met my elder brother, but there may be someone who looks exactly like me in the world.
Yun Biqiu was suspicious: Li Lianpeng?In this way, if Li Xiangyi is Li Lianhua's brother, isn't his original name Li Lianpeng?
Li Lianhua nodded again and again: "It's true, it's true, I never lie.
Yun Biqiu took a deep breath, and at this moment his mind was in chaos: Since your family is poor, this house has an ingenious structure, exquisite carvings, and is of great value, but where did it come from?
Li Lianhua said very seriously: This is a gift from Abbot Wu of Pudu Temple.
These words were beyond Yunbiqiu's expectation: No abbot?
Li Lianhua showed a somewhat embarrassed smile: Abbot Wu was a green forest hero before he became a monk. Once he was seriously injured and fell in front of my house. I rescued him with family medical skills.At that time, he robbed a large cart, filled it with planks, and assembled the planks. This was the house. The abbot thought it was bulky, so he gave it to me.He is cleaning up in Pudu Temple. I definitely did not steal this house. You must ask him for clarification.
Abbot Wu was indeed a well-known hero in the green forest when he was young, Yun Biqiu knew it, only listening to Li Lianhua's words became more and more strange, it seemed completely unbelievable, but he spoke with certainty, and even cited Abbot Wu As evidence, there seems to be some credibility.Normally, Yun Biqiu's thinking was clear and discerning, and he would never allow Li Lianhua to talk nonsense like this, but at this time, his position was in confusion, his mind was restless, and he really couldn't tell which of his sentences were true and which were false, so he could only stare blankly. Looking at Li Lianhua's face, he said: If you are the head of the sect, would you hate me to the bone?
He murmured: I'm sorry Sigumen should have died a long time ago. Then he turned and walked out, the dagger in his hand was still facing his heart in despair, and he didn't know when it would pierce his chest.
Hello, Pi Daxia.Li Lianhua greeted you from behind, I see you are in a bad mood, since you are at the door, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?
Yun Biqiu was stunned, then turned to look at him in a daze: tea?
Li Lianhua pointed to the room, and saw a pot of tea in the hall with smoke rising from it.There was hot tea on the wooden table, and the host smiled kindly, but Piqiu's chest suddenly felt hot, and he strode in.
Li Lianhua threw the broom and rag aside, and seeing Yun Biqiu put the dagger on the table, she couldn't help but take the murder weapon and put it in the deepest drawer of the hall, then straightened her clothes, showing the most elegant and gentle smile: Please use Tea.
Seeing him carefully holding the dagger with two fingers, Yun Biqiu thought it was a bit funny. In the room with bright and clean windows, next to the hot tea on the wooden table, his mood became calm unexpectedly, and he drank a cup of tea slowly.
Li Lianhua accompanied him to drink tea, staring at him cautiously from the corner of his eyes, as if thinking that he would commit suicide at any moment, Yun Biqiu suddenly found it very funny: Haha cough cough I am so ridiculous?
Li Lianhua shook her head and smiled slightly: "People, people, it's like this sometimes, otherwise life would be unhappy."
Yun Biqiu murmured: What a miserable life!Li Lianhua, you said that a man poisoned his most respected friend for the sake of a woman, causing him to fall into the East China Sea, leaving no bones left, should he die?
Li Lianhua didn't even blink: Damn it.
Yun Biqiu smiled wryly, drank a cup of tea like drinking wine: because that woman told me that Li Xiangyi was not allowed to appear on the shore of the East China Sea, and she planned to die with Di Feisheng.She has been in love with Di Feisheng for thirteen years, and she has always been ruthless and ruthless. She said she couldn't let him die at the hands of others. How would I know that she was lying to me? How could he be prevented from going to the appointment without taking the most severe poison?I thought I just need to stop him for a while, I have the antidote and it doesn't matter, but it turns out that everything is not like that, everything is because I am ridiculously stupid
He murmured, if you are the sect master, would you hate me to the bone?
Li Lianhua sighed softly, and said softly: If I were him, of course I would hate you.
Yun Biqiu's whole body shook, and suddenly he coughed violently: cough cough cough cough
李蓮花連忙倒了杯茶給他，又道：可是事情已經過去十年了，不管是如何糟糕的事，都該忘記了，不是嗎？
雲彼丘顫聲道：真的會忘記嗎？
李蓮花微笑，十分有耐心也溫和地道：真的會忘記的，十年了，他會遇到更倒楣、更糟糕的事，然後發現，很多其實當時以為罪大惡極不可原諒的事，其實並不是真的很糟糕，然後他就忘記了。
雲彼丘猛地站了起來：他若忘記了，為何不回來？
李蓮花瞪眼道：我怎麼會知道？
雲彼丘怔怔地看著他，很迷惑，就如見了一團迷霧，緩緩地坐了下來。
皮大俠。李蓮花給他倒了一杯新茶，慢吞吞地道，我覺得有一件事，比當年更重要
雲彼丘問：什麼？
李蓮花鬆了口氣很愉快地微笑起來：呃我想我們是不是應該去吃個麵條、水餃什麼的？雲彼丘一愕，抬頭一看，發覺果然已是午時了。
而後雲彼丘和李蓮花去兩里外的小鎮麵館吃了兩碗陽春麵，李蓮花買了把新掃帚，雲彼丘在吃了一肚子麵條之後糊裡糊塗地回去了。他本來很確定李蓮花就是李相夷，但在吃完這碗陽春麵之後，非但把自盡之念忘得一乾二淨，他也開始相信李蓮花真有個兄長叫做李蓮蓬，蓮花樓千真萬確是無了方丈送的了。
四、油鍋
雲彼丘和李蓮花去吃麵的時候，郭禍卻對著百川院內那個地道口冥思苦想，有一件事他始終想不通：地道中那人是被滾油潑在身上，澆得她滿身起泡，皮才會給撕了下來，但那些油從哪裡來？他在通道口上上下下了數十次，也沒有看到油鍋在何處，若沒有油鍋，滾油又從何而來？
阜南飛在上頭不耐煩地招呼了他幾次，郭禍仍鍥而不捨，一直到暮色降臨，阜南飛已經離去，他仍舉著火把在地道之中摸索。
郭禍雖然並不怎麼聰明，卻是個絕不氣餒的人，在他數個時辰的摸索之中，他已找到了一個紀漢佛等人沒有找到的東西：那是一塊焦黑如拳頭大小的東西，郭禍之所以發現它不是石頭，是因為他踩了它一腳，發現它是軟的。郭禍對著那東西發呆的時候，身後有人道：啊
郭禍大吃一驚，猛地回身，雙掌擺出惡虎撲羊之勢：是人是鬼？
身後那人也是大吃一驚，跟著他猛回身，東張西望：在哪裡？Is it a human or a ghost?
郭禍看清身後人的模樣，長長的吐出一口氣，收起了架勢：李蓮花！
那不知何時就站在郭禍身後的人正是李蓮花，其實雲彼丘前腳離開，他後腳就鑽進了這個地道裡，重新把他白天想查看而不方便查看的地方細查一遍，不料卻看到郭禍對著塊焦炭冥思苦想，著實令他佩服。
Hello!李蓮花，李先生郭禍叫道，你怎會在這裡？
李蓮花微笑：你又怎會在這裡？
郭禍摸了摸頭：我下來找油鍋。
李蓮花一本正經地道：我也是。
郭禍迷茫地道：可就是找不到。
李蓮花道：先別說這個，紀漢佛回去以後有清點人數，查看百川院弟子有人失蹤嗎？郭禍點頭：大院主立刻就查了，院裡弟子沒有人失蹤，只有廚房一個幫廚的丫頭已不見了幾天，可能是回了趟家。
李蓮花奇道：這就奇怪了，難道這就是那個幫廚的丫頭？
郭禍茫然搖頭：不知道。
李蓮花退至早上看見死人的位置，再退了幾步，仔細看地上的痕跡，自言自語：灶台早晨的時候這裡架著一鍋滾油，有兩個人在這裡見面，站在我這個位置的人飛起一腳。
他學著一腳往前踢去，把油鍋踢翻，滾油潑在對面那人身上，那人倒地，油流向洞口引起大火，我出路受阻，轉身往地道另一端的出口逃走
郭禍聽得連連點頭：我也是這樣想。
李蓮花嘆了口氣：其實我只不過是在胡說而已
郭禍一呆，他腦子裡本就一片混亂，如今更化為一團漿糊。
李蓮花在地道裡踱了幾圈，郭禍舉著火把跟在他身後。
是誰把這個女人殺了四次？她的胸口被薄而鋒利的長劍刺了一劍，額頭撞出了一個不小的傷口，右手被齊腕砍去，還被滾油潑了滿身，剝了層皮是誰會如此殘忍狠毒地對待一個女人？郭禍的火把在洞口晃來晃去，幾塊碎石又掉了下來，差點砸在李蓮花頭頂，嚇得他往旁一跳：阿彌陀佛突地看見有塊石頭在郭禍盯著看的那塊焦炭上一彈，奇道：這是什麼東西？ .
郭禍道：好像是那隻手
李蓮花大吃一驚：什麼手？那隻被砍掉的手？
郭禍點了點頭：被油炸過了。
李蓮花倒抽一口涼氣，那隻手經油鍋一炸，攢得緊緊的，像是要抓住什麼東西，他拾起地上兩根折斷的乾樹枝往手裡一撬，手裡攢著的東西讓他毛骨悚然，微一沉吟，他把那隻手小心翼翼地收在地道邊角，接過郭禍手裡的火把，四下高照，卻見石壁上留有許多劃痕，有些劃痕已經模糊，許多只是隨手亂劃，劃了一些小雞小鳥，但有一句話重複劃了兩次，那字跡大而歪斜，顯然並非讀書之人所寫，寫的是愛喜生憂四個字。
郭大公子，你能不能請百川院認得那位失蹤姑娘的人來看看到底是不是她？李蓮花凝視著那愛喜生憂四個字，然後問一問百川院廚房的師父，昨天和今天，百川院三餐都吃了些什麼東西？
郭禍突然想起一事道：阿發說他昨天晚上在這裡看見一個只有半截身子的女鬼，王大嫂和阿發肯定認得阿瑞。
李蓮花點了點頭：今天晚上無了方丈請我吃宵夜
郭禍毫不懷疑：我去普渡寺找你。
李蓮花歉然道：我也許在廚房
郭禍堅定不移地道：我到廚房找你！而後轉身離去。
五、人肉的味道
普渡寺。
方丈禪室。
無了方丈端著一碗米飯正在沉吟，窗外有人敲了兩聲，微笑道：眾小和尚在飯堂狼吞虎嚥，老和尚卻在看飯，這是為什麼？
無了方丈莞爾一笑：李施主。
窗戶開了，李蓮花站在窗外：老和尚，我已在飯堂看過，這個月廟裡的伙食不好，除去花生青菜油豆腐，只剩白米和鹽，虧你白天還吹牛說廟裡什麼素菜妙絕天下
無了方丈正色道：若是李施主想吃，老衲這就請古師父為李施主特製一盤，古師父油炸花生、麵團、麵餅、辣椒、粉絲無不妙絕
李蓮花突然對他一笑：那他可會油炸死人嗎？
無了方丈一怔，半晌沒說出話來，過了好半晌，問道：油炸死人？
李蓮花文雅地抖了抖衣裳，慢吞吞地翻窗進來，坐在他白天坐的那把椅子上：唉
無了方丈對今早在百川院地道發現焦屍一事已有所耳聞，方才正是對貫通普渡寺與百川院的地道之事憂心忡忡，李蓮花又把地道之事仔細說了一遍，悠悠地道：普渡寺的古師父，不知會不會油炸死人這道名菜
無了方丈緩緩地道：何出此言？
李蓮花知道老和尚慎重，微微一笑：普渡寺和百川院之間有條地道，地道通向舍利塔和柴房，靠近百川院的一段有具焦屍，普渡寺的一棵大樹早上突然倒了，首先早上沒有風，那棵樹斷得很蹊蹺，老和尚心細如髮，想必早已看出那是被人一掌劈斷的。能令五丈來高的大樹樹梢折斷而樹木不倒，只能從同樣五丈來高的舍利塔上發掌，那就是說，早上有個人在舍利塔裡。且不說他發掌震斷樹梢到底是為了什麼，至少他在塔裡，在地道的一端，那就和焦屍有點關係，此為其一。
無了方丈點了點頭：昨日塔中，確有一人。
李蓮花慢吞吞地道：老和尚可知是誰？
無了方丈緩緩搖頭：老衲受武功所限，只能聽出昨日塔內有人。
李蓮花安靜了一陣，慢慢地道：老和尚胡說八道昨日塔內是誰，你豈會不知
無了方丈苦笑：哦？
李蓮花道：昨日我來的時候，普渡寺正在做早課，按道理眾和尚都應該去念經，老和尚沒有領頭是因為你在裝病，可是還有一個人沒有去做早課。
無了方丈問：誰？
李蓮花一字一字地道：普神和尚！他頓了一頓：你說請普神師侄到我禪房，小沙彌卻說他在房內打坐，因此他沒有去做早課。
無了方丈輕輕一嘆，而後微微一笑：李施主心細如髮，老衲佩服。
李蓮花露齒一笑：沒有去做早課並不能說明在地道裡的人就是普神和尚，只能說明早上樹倒的那段時間，沒有人看見他在何處而已。我說是普神，還是要從焦屍說起第一，那屍體上有一道劍傷：第二，刺傷死人的人不是百川院的人：第三，地道只通向百川院和普渡寺：第四，普渡寺中只有普神精通劍術所以，刺傷死人的人，是普神和尚。此其二。
無了方丈微笑：你怎知刺傷死者之人並非百川院弟子？
李蓮花也微笑：那屍體中劍的地方在胸口，可見出劍的人是站在她面前，若非相識，怎會面對面？而且這當胸一劍並非致命傷，老和尚你沒發現一件事很奇怪嗎？
門外突然有人沉聲問道：什麼？
李蓮花和無了都是一怔，門外人沉穩地道：在下紀漢佛。
另一個人嘻嘻一笑，接著道：白江鶉。
還有一人陰惻惻地道：石水。
最後一人淡淡道：雲彼丘。百川院佛彼白石四人，進方丈禪室一坐。
無了方丈打開大門：四位大駕光臨，普渡寺蓬蓽生輝。
石水嘿的冷笑了一聲，還沒等無了方丈客套話說完他們四人已經走了進來，就像是本來就坐在房中一樣。無了方丈心裡苦笑，斜睇了李蓮花一眼，暗道都是你當年任性狂妄，以至於他們四人至今如此。
李蓮花規規矩矩坐著，口中一本正經地繼續道：這地道頂上只有一層石板，烈火一燒就會崩裂，可見石板很薄。這一劍並非致命之傷，只要她不是啞子，就可以呼救，可是百川院中並沒有人聽見呼救呻吟聲。
幾人都點了點頭，李蓮花又道：那具焦屍若真是幫廚的林玉瑞小丫頭，她又不是啞子，為何不叫？刺她一劍之人和她面對面，可見他並不怕她看見他的面貌，那入口石壁上畫滿塗鴉，說明小姑娘當時在等人，而這刺她一劍的人說不定就是她在等的人，她和此人認識，所以此人刺她一劍之後，因為某些理由她沒有呼救慘叫。
眾人都皺起了眉，細細地想這其中的道理，李蓮花又道：如果她約見的人是百川院的弟子，她何必三更半夜跑到地道中相見？因此她約見的必是不能光明正大見面的人。她從地道口攀爬而下，半身在石板之下，被阿發看見背影，當她是只有半截身子的女鬼。當然還有可能，她約見的是一個人，而刺她一劍的卻是另一個人，但若是如此，她為何沒有呼救？若是百川院弟子刺她一劍，卻又沒有將她刺死，而是奔出洞口關上機關，裝作若無其事不過這個推測又不合情理，因為林玉瑞並沒有被刺死，她可以指認兇手，所以奔出洞口關上機關，裝作若無其事和沒有將她刺死不能同時存在。因此，我想刺她一劍的人不是百川院弟子，很可能是她約見的人。
李蓮花微笑道，所以，從劍傷、刺傷她的人不是百川院弟子、普渡寺只有普神和尚精通劍術，可以想到她約見的人是普神和尚，又和尚不能和女人在一起，所以，正是林玉瑞所要見的那不能見的人。
眾人沉吟了一陣，雲彼丘先點了點頭。
李蓮花又笑笑，笑得很和善：何況還有另一個證據說明她等的人是個和尚你們看到牆上那愛喜生憂四個字了嗎？
Ji Hanfo nodded.
李蓮花看了無了方丈一眼：老和尚
無了方丈接著說：那是《法巨經》之《好喜品》中的詩偈，為天竺沙門維袛難大師自天竺經典翻譯為我中華文字。頓了一頓，他緩緩念道，愛喜生憂，愛喜生畏，無所愛喜，何憂何畏。
這是一首佛家詩偈。李蓮花道，如果她約會的人不是和尚
他尚未說完，白江鶉便重重地哼了一聲：老子認識許多和尚，但是也從來沒聽說過這句話。
李蓮花連連點頭：正是、正是，如果她約會的人不是和尚，料想她寫不出這四個字來。如果她約見的人是和尚，胸口又有劍傷，那很可能便是普神和尚，何況今天早上普神和尚沒有參加早課，總而言之普神和尚很可疑。
無了方丈嘆了一聲：李施主，老衲向眾位坦誠，老衲犯了妄言戒，該下阿鼻地獄，用劍刺傷女施主之人，正是普神師侄。
佛彼白石四人都是啊的一聲，十分驚訝，原來無了竟然知道兇手是誰？只聽無了緩緩地道：今日早晨李施主走後，舍利塔中濃煙沖天，他自覺行跡已經難以掩飾，到我禪房中向佛祖悔罪，只是普神師侄年少衝動，只是刺了那女施主一劍，並未殺人，他並非殺死那女施主的兇手。
正說到這裡，一個人突然從窗戶闖了進來，把一大團東西重重往地下一摔，大聲道：我在廚房沒有找到你，出來就看見這傢伙鬼鬼祟祟地伏在地上偷聽，順手抓來了，你們果然在這裡！騙得我到處亂轉！
他瞪眼看著李蓮花，王大嬸已經認出了阿瑞，還有百川院今天的菜是竹筍炒肉絲
李蓮花對他一笑：我只想知道百川院這兩天有沒有做過油炸豆腐？
道衝破窗戶進來的人正是郭禍，他聞言大聲道：沒有！
李蓮花眉開眼笑：這就是了。他看著匍匐在地瑟瑟發抖的人，溫言道：古師父，人肉的味道，好嗎？
剎那間方丈禪室內鴉雀無聲，只聽到那光頭大漢牙齒打戰的聲音，突然哆嗦著道：我也我也沒沒沒沒有殺人
李蓮花嘆了口氣：你見到她的時候，她是什麼模樣？
古師父道：我見到她的時候她她她已經死了。
李蓮花又問：除了胸口的劍傷，她身上還有什麼傷口？
古師父道：她的頭在石壁上撞出了一個大口子，血流了滿地，胸口也流了好多血，已經死了。
李蓮花道：然後繼油炸麵餅之後，你油炸了死人？
古師父全身發抖：我我我只是
李蓮花非常好奇地看著他：其實我真的很好奇，你見到死人後，怎麼還會想到把她弄來吃呢？
我我我我曾經古師父滿臉冷汗，結結巴巴地看著李蓮花，我曾經看見過一個女人把和她同床共枕的男人手砍掉，還吃吃吃掉了
雲彼丘渾身一震，李蓮花啊了一聲，是誰？
古師父搖搖頭：我不不不不不知道，一個美得像神仙一樣的女人，她咬著那個男人的手指，一截一截吃下去，可是她美得美得讓人讓人
他喉嚨裡發出了野獸般的嗥叫聲，讓人想殺人想吃人
李蓮花縮了縮脖子：你一定看見了女鬼！
古師父拚命搖頭：不，就在清源山下的小鎮裡，八個月前我半夜起來小解，在隔壁客房之中
雲彼丘臉色蒼白，紀漢佛嘿了一聲：角麗譙！
白江鶉悻悻地道：除了這個女妖，有誰有這種能耐倒是李蓮花，你怎知這位被女鬼上身的老兄油炸了阿瑞？
李蓮花啊了一聲：因為油鍋。地道裡有灶台，有柴火，甚至有雞骨鴨骨，有油，可居然沒有油鍋。看那地上的骨頭，顯然有人經常到地道裡油炸葷食偷吃，可是沒有油鍋，說明搭灶台的人若非有用別的東西替代油鍋的妙法，就是能帶著油鍋來來往往，此其一。這地道裡顯然不會長出樹枝來，那些柴火必是從普渡寺柴房裡偷來的，而少了這許多木柴，普渡寺居然一直沒有動靜，看管木柴的人必定有些問題，此其二。那用油放火之人顯然不是百川院中人，否則不會不知地道口那石板薄脆，火一燒就裂，加上他火燒地道口，顯然之後是往普渡寺方向離去，此其三。besides
他頓了一頓，在被這位古仁兄拿去油炸的手裡，握著一塊油豆腐。我想可能是斷手被放進油裡，筋骨收縮，手掌握了起來，正巧你早先剛油炸過豆腐，落了一塊在油裡，你也沒注意，阿瑞的手掌握了起來，抓住了那塊油豆腐。而百川院這幾天都沒有吃過油豆腐，倒是普渡寺這一個月的伙食裡天天都有油豆腐，你管著寺裡的柴火油糧，又能隨意拿走油鍋，地道口還在柴房之中，若不是你油炸死人，莫非是死人爬到你的廚房之中自己油炸了自己嗎？
李蓮花瞪眼道，那可恐怖得很，我怕鬼
古師父抱著頭：我只是一時糊塗，那隻手在鍋裡我害怕得很沒有吃她，我沒有吃她，只是剁了她的手油炸了一下昨天晚上只是油炸了她的手
李蓮花問：那今天早上呢？
古師父顫聲道：今天早上我怕偷吃葷和炸死人的事被發現，趁他們在早課的時候偷偷溜進地道，燒了一鍋滾油，潑往她身上，打算將她燒掉，她那身衣服都是乾血，燒得不旺，我把衣服撕下來，結果不小心把她的皮也撕了下來，我嚇破了膽，逃回柴房，用柴火封住地道口，再也不敢下去。
李蓮花追問：你不知道地道另有出口？
古師父搖頭：不知道，我只知道柴房底下有條裂縫很深，以前我常常躲在裡面偷吃自己做的葷菜。
無了方丈嘆了口氣：想必今天早晨普神師侄也下了地道，又去看那女施主，卻被你封在地道之中，他只得從舍利塔出來，阿彌陀佛
他站起身來，心平氣和地走出門去，過了片刻，一個身材高䠷，相貌清俊的年輕和尚被他帶了進來，無了方丈對紀漢佛點了點頭：交由施主發落。
紀漢佛頷首，佛彼白石將對普神和尚和古師父再進行調查，在七日之內做出決定，或監禁、或廢去武功、或入丐幫三年等等，視各人所犯之事，決定各人應受的懲罰。
雲彼丘的臉色越發憔悴，思緒尚在角麗譙吃人一事上，那女子貌若天仙，語言溫柔，行事詭異無論是邪惡可怖至極的事，還是溫柔善良至極的事，她都能若無其事地做出來
李蓮花看著普神和尚，這和尚不過二十來歲，眉宇間英氣勃勃，就像個心志高遠的武林少年：為何你要刺她一劍？
普神搖了搖頭，頓了一頓，再搖了搖頭，什麼都沒說，神色甚是淒慘。李蓮花沒有再問，悠悠地嘆了一口長氣，不管是因為什麼理由，不管他有沒有心殺她，她終還是為了他而死不知是那一劍讓她流血而死，還是她自己撞死了自己總而言之，便是如此了人生啊人生，這些事、那些事、曾經以為一定不會發生的事、現在相信絕對不會改變的事其實都很難
