At this moment in this open space, two figures were flying and fighting, dazzling people. There was also a little monk standing next to them, and Master Xuanhong had just arrived.

Chu Yunxi looked carefully and saw that one of them was Wen Rulan, and the other one who was fighting with him was a middle-aged monk with a dark face. Without Xiao Mubei telling her, Chu Yunxi knew that this man must be the monk who called himself Shaokang.

Master Xuan Hong said in a deep voice: "Who dares to act so presumptuously in Guanyin Temple?"

He was about to make a move when Chu Yunxi coughed and said with a smile, "Master Abbot, let me introduce you. This is my senior brother, who I specially invited to search for the murderer today. Is this monk from Guanyin Temple?"

Master Xuanhong paused. At this moment, he had already vaguely guessed that Chu Yunxi had already known that the murderer was in Guanyin Temple, and everything he did today was to lure him out.

"Junior brother, stop it. We can't hide it anymore." Master Xuanhong sighed and finally spoke.

The monk who was fighting with Wen Rulan was indeed quite skilled. While fighting with Wen Rulan, he said, "Brother, we can't stop. I may not lose. As long as we kill them all today, no one will know about this. We still have hope of success."

Master Xuan Hong's voice was still calm. "They came prepared today. Do you think there are only three of them? Stop it. Even if we kill them, this is the King of Dingbei, the biological son of the current emperor. How can the emperor let it go? We have already lost."

The middle-aged monk and Wen Rulan exchanged palm strikes, both using all their strength. Wen Rulan retreated two steps, while the monk retreated two and a half steps. After the two separated, neither of them fought again.

The middle-aged monk turned around and looked at Master Xuan Hong unwillingly, his eyes red, "Are we just going to give up like this? Master..."

"It's all fate, no one else can be blamed." Master Xuan Hong clasped his hands together, "Xuan De, in fact, if the master were here, he might not agree with us doing this. You are too stubborn."

"But Master cannot die. If he dies, what shall we do? What shall we do with Guanyin Temple?" the monk named Xuande shouted excitedly.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi watched quietly, Wen Rulan also stood aside without moving. They had not expected that the murderer was actually the junior brother that Master Xuanhong mentioned, who was picked up and brought back to Guanyin Temple with him since childhood, and was also the disciple of Zen Master Daoyuan.

But they didn't understand what Xuande meant when he said that the master couldn't die. Didn't Zen Master Daoyuan die a long time ago? Could he be resurrected?

Master Xuan Hong did not speak to Xuan De anymore. Instead, he slowly turned around and said to Xiao Mubei, "Your Highness, I was bewildered and failed to guide you well. I made a big mistake and it is too late to regret it now."

"What about those children you took out?" This is the most important thing. If those children are still alive, they must be rescued quickly, otherwise who knows what will happen.

Master Xuan Hong looked at Xuan De, who kept shaking his head with a miserable look on his face. Master Xuan Hong said, "Brother, it has come to this point. There is no point in hiding it any longer."

Master Xuan Hong took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, they are all kept in the back mountain. We bought a wet nurse and a nanny from the foot of the mountain to take care of them. There are people watching over them there."

"Where is the little monk?" Xiao Mubei didn't ask too much. Since the children were safe, the most important thing now was to arrest all the people involved in the case.

Xuande spoke before Master Xuanhong: "Don't catch Lingfeng, he...he was forced by me, he didn't kill anyone, I was the one who killed them all."

It turned out that the little monk's Dharma name was Lingfeng. Xiao Mubei said coldly, "We will investigate whether he has killed anyone or violated the law, but now he must go back to the Dali Temple with us to be investigated. If you don't tell us, we can only search the whole mountain for him. I wonder how many days he can survive in this mountain alone, feeling scared?"

Xuande's hands clenched suddenly. Chu Yunxi had heard from Xiao Mubei before that when they were on the mountain ridge, Xuande once took the risk of capturing Shan Ruoheng just to exchange Lingfeng with Xiao Mubei. It can be seen that Lingfeng is very important in his mind.

So she said, "Since you value Lingfeng so much, why do you let him help you do these things? You are harming him, you know? He is still young, but he has the reputation of a murderer. Even if he is not sentenced to death, his future life is basically ruined. And do you think you are helping him if you don't give him up now? You are just accelerating his death. Although he has lost his freedom in prison, if he is not the mastermind, he can still live. Do you want him to live or die? Make your choice."

Xuande clenched his fists tightly and clenched his teeth. Master Xuanhong couldn't bear it any longer and sighed, "Junior brother, let Lingfeng out. You can't protect him anymore."

Xuande's hand finally loosened slowly. He stretched his hand slowly to his lips, as if he had used a lot of strength, and finally circled his thumb and index finger into a circle. He put it to his mouth and blew a whistle. The whistle was blown with internal force and spread far away. After a while, the little monk appeared from the back mountain.

It turns out that he doesn't usually live in Guanyin Temple. No wonder Ah Cheng has never seen him.

Xiao Mubei asked Bai Yu to drive two carriages around to the back mountain. After all, Master Xuanhong was the abbot of Guanyin Temple and was highly respected. It would be better to keep his arrest secret, otherwise it would cause a commotion if seen by pilgrims. Then he watched Master Xuanhong give instructions to a disciple to guard Guanyin Temple and that Guanyin Temple would be handed over to him in the future.

Wen Rulan pressed Xuande's acupoints to prevent him from hurting others again. He did not resist. He seemed to have no soul and was just pushed forward mechanically. However, he still held on tightly to Lingfeng.

As soon as Lingfeng appeared, he saw the person in front of him. It was the person who confronted him on the cliff yesterday. He already understood what had happened, but when Xuande called him, he came over without hesitation, walked in front of Xuande and called him Master.

Xuande straightened his clothes and said with a wry smile: "Lingfeng, it's the master who is useless. The master has harmed you."

Lingfeng shook his head, "It was all Lingfeng's own free will, Master, please don't blame yourself."

Chu Yunxi couldn't help but shake her head as she watched. Why were there so many cases like this? They always regretted it only when it was too late to turn back. If she had known this would happen, why did she do it in the first place?

The abbot of Guanyin Temple was secretly changed and the pilgrims knew nothing about it. The incense here is still strong. The four children have been found and returned to their families. This can be considered a kind of consolation.
