The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Li Jinghong had just arrived at the scene and was waiting beside Chu Yunxi. At this moment, he also returned to the carriage with Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei.

"Li Shaoqing, we will split up in two. Yunxi and I will go to Guanyin Temple to meet the abbot, and you will take people to Fenglai Tower to look for Caifeng first. We need to confirm whether Ma Mingxuan was with her last night and when he left. If he did go home from Fenglai Tower, look for witnesses along the way."

After Xiao Mubei finished making the arrangements, Li Jinghong went there immediately. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi brought Baiyu Heimu and the Purple Guards with them and went directly to the Guanyin Temple on Longyu Mountain.

Guanyin Temple is located on the top of the main peak of Longyu Mountain. The temple is quite large and an endless stream of pilgrims come from all directions to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva and pray devoutly that the Bodhisattva can give them children to continue the incense and carry on the family line.

There is a main road leading directly to Guanyin Temple, and horse-drawn carriages can go directly to the temple gate. There is a large platform at the temple gate with various types of carriages parked. In addition to young couples, there are also mothers-in-law who come to pray for their daughters-in-law, and whole families come together. It is very lively with people coming and going.

"I didn't expect that this Guanyin Temple is so popular. Is it really effective?" Chu Yunxi sighed as she walked in.

Xiao Mubei curled his lips, "I don't know about this either, how about you try it?"

"How can I try?" Chu Yunxi realized that Xiao Mubei was trying to get her to have a baby. She punched Xiao Mubei in the chest and said, "Why are you so mean?"

Xiao Mubei said innocently: "What's wrong with me? Don't you want to know if this place is effective?"

"You..." Chu Yunxi was speechless and had no way to say it clearly. She suffered a loss in silence. She raised her head and turned away without paying any attention to Xiao Mubei.

Xiao Mubei secretly laughed, and hurriedly chased after him, took out a string of lavender pearl bracelets with a soft glow and handed it to Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi felt her eyes light up, and saw an extremely beautiful bracelet. She originally didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Mubei, but the bracelet was so beautiful that she couldn't help but take it, "What beautiful pearls, where did you get them from?"

"Just bought it." Xiao Mubei blinked and pointed back casually.

Chu Yunxi didn't believe it. She just walked along the way. Although there were small stalls selling jewelry, they all sold very low-quality jewelry. Like the string of pearls in front of her, each pearl was round and exuded a soft luster. Each one was transparent in color, and it was obviously top quality at first glance. Although Chu Yunxi didn't understand pearls, it didn't mean that she didn't know the value of them. Pearls like this would be worth a lot of money each, let alone a string of them.

"Who are you kidding?" Chu Yunxi muttered, and seeing that Xiao Mubei had no intention of telling her, she stopped asking. Sometimes the surprise a man gives you doesn't require every detail to be made clear.

With this interruption, the little episode just now was completely forgotten. The two of them came to the temple and found a young monk. Xiao Mubei took out the token and asked him to inform the abbot.

The young monk took them to a side room and asked them to wait for a moment while he went to inform the abbot, Master Xuanhong. Chu Yunxi looked around the side room and found that it was very clean and there was almost nothing unnecessary in the room.

Thinking back to the journey just now, although this Guanyin Temple is quite large, the houses are quite old. It should have not been repaired for many years. Chu Yunxi couldn't help but ask: "Isn't this Guanyin Temple very popular? It should not be short of money, so why are the houses not in good condition?"

Xiao Mubei also found it strange, "Could it be that the abbot is used to being simple?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head, unable to understand. However, this was their own business. They came here today to investigate the case. They might be curious, but this was not within their jurisdiction.

After a while, someone outside the wing room said "Amitabha", and a monk with white beard and hair walked in. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi stood up quickly. The monk said, "I didn't know that King Dingbei would come to Guanyin Temple. Xuanhong is late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Xiao Mubei said: "We came here uninvited, how can we blame the abbot? Master, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Master Xuan Hong then sat down. After the three of them sat down, Xiao Mubei said again: "This time, I came here to ask you something."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Xiao Mubei got straight to the point and said, "A few days ago, the king and the princess found several bodies on the ridge of Longyu Mountain. The bodies had turned into bones. The murders were all within this year, and the victims were all here to burn incense in the Guanyin Temple. I would like to ask the master, has anything strange happened in the temple in this year?"

"Amitabha, good, good, I never thought such a thing would happen on this mountain," Master Xuanhong was obviously shocked. He thought about it carefully and asked, "If you want to talk about strange things, I can't think of them for the time being. I wonder if Your Majesty can tell me the specific circumstances of these victims. I will try to remember something."

Xiao Mubei said: "The victims were all carrying baskets with incense, candles and yellow paper inside. They must have been to the temple or were planning to come to the temple. Some villagers saw that a strange young master took them to the ridge. He also said something like a divine monk who could help them get rid of bad luck. I wonder if there are any other divine monks on this mountain?"

Xiao Mubei did not say that the victims were a couple, and that his wife was pregnant. It is still unknown who the murderer is, and it is not appropriate to reveal too many details of the case. If the murderer knew that they had found out so much, he might go back and do something to the children in order to avoid future troubles.

Master Xuan Hong shook his head and said, "I have never heard of such a divine monk. There is only one temple on Longyu Mountain, Guanyin Temple. If anyone has seen the monk who took the person away, why not ask him to come to the temple to identify the person?"

Ah Cheng said at the time that he knew basically all the masters in the temple, but he had never seen that young master before. From this it seemed that the young master was not from Guanyin Temple. Although he could not be 100% sure, if Ah Cheng were asked to identify the person at this moment, the murderer had not been caught yet. If Ah Cheng was exposed, Longshou Village would be in danger.

"That's not necessary. The witness said that he knew all the young masters in Guanyin Temple and confirmed that they were not from our Guanyin Temple," Xiao Mubei said, "but is there anyone in the temple who can tell fortunes and answer questions?"

If there is no fortune-telling, how can we get rid of bad luck?

Master Xuan Hong shook his head. "There aren't any in our temple, but sometimes there are outside the temple. They are the fortune tellers who come here on their own. We don't prohibit them, but we don't know them either."

Chu Yunxi understood that street vendors were not prohibited outside the Guanyin Temple. When they came over just now, they saw many people selling things, as well as fortune tellers, and there were more than one of them. It was possible that the problem lay with these fortune tellers.
