In fact, at that moment, Jiang Yanxiao could easily avoid it.He only needs to mobilize the spiritual power in his body, and with a light tap of his toe, he can fly three feet away, avoiding the falling beam.

But that also means that he will expose himself.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yanxiao forcibly restrained his instincts, did not run away, but raised his head in a panic.

The sound of the rapidly falling beams whistled in his ears, and in his field of vision, a straight line was drawn by the black sunken wood, and the first falling flames and debris were about to hit his nose.

A hand suddenly stuck out, flashing across Jiang Yanxiao's eyes like lightning, the wind brought by the falling heavy object dissipated quickly, Jiang Yanxiao took a closer look and was stunned.

Ci Xin stretched out her right hand, with her palm facing up, her index finger and middle finger joined together, and with a light push, she supported the falling beam with four or two strokes of force.

The Jiaoliang is pitch-black, and the fingers are white, like the first flake of snow falling on a large expanse of scorched earth. The contrast between the two colors is striking and shocking.

Undisguised astonishment flashed across Jiang Yan's smiling eyes——

Awesome, what kind of skill is this?

[System, I seem to have found the trick I want to learn! 】

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, when Ci Xin supported the beam of the house with two fingers, Jiang Yanxiao screamed as if he had just woken up from a dream, and quickly stepped back three steps "fucking shit".

Ci Xin saw that he was safe, a golden light flashed between her fingers, and there was another "click", and the beam was automatically split in two, breaking into two pieces.

Jiang Yan was amazed with a smile, and almost applauded: "Master, you are too powerful! What is this trick called?"

Compassion: "Diamond finger."

Good name!Jiang Yan smiled and showed the rest of his life, stunned and admiring: "I want to learn, can Master teach me?"

Compassion: "Of course."

He answered without hesitation, and Jiang Yan was so happy that he almost jumped up on the spot.But then, he seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his raised lips were retracted—a big step forward in the task, which meant that they were not far away from parting.

The whole afternoon, Ci Xin and Jiang Yanxiao were busy in the charred county magistrate's mansion.They put out the fire, rescued the injured, rescued supplies, and after confirming that all the people caught in the fire had been found, they sorted out the wreckage and repaired the house.

Nineteen human lives are wiped out, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity, and the living must move forward.When Jiang Yanxiao was busy, different versions of rumors flowed into his ears.

Some people said that the location of the county magistrate's mansion was not well chosen, and the feng shui was extremely poor. Either a trap of evil spirits was formed, or some monster's lair was moved.

Some people said that the focus should be on the "nineteen concubines who died". Maybe it was the county magistrate who owed some kind of romantic debt, and if someone died, he would not let him go, and all his concubines should be buried with him.

[Nineteen little wives,] Jiang Yanxiao sighed with emotion, [Is this the emperor who built a harem? 】

[Even if one is lucky in a day, it won't last a month. 】Jiang Yan smiled vaguely and felt a pain in his lower back, 【It can only be said that either County Magistrate Yao is very talented, or these beauties are widows.Gee, I lean more towards the latter. 】

system:【……】

The county magistrate's surname is Yao, and he looks like a dog. When he was young, he was probably a handsome man, but his eyes were dark and he looked a little bit weak.At this moment, he was still in a coma, not sure if his soul was in turmoil, no matter how the acupuncture was done, he couldn't wake him up, so he could only wait for him to wake up by himself.

Jiang Yanxiao thought that compassion would save her on the spot, and she would learn the truth from the soul soon.Unexpectedly, Ci Xin was not in a hurry, and took him out of Yao's house in the evening and walked to the street.

"Master, but you have to wait until night for the salvation?"

"Well," Compassionate took his arm, as if holding a child, "The new souls are not stable, so they should not be exposed to the sun. During the day they hide and are not very awake, and they will show up at night."

The two walked on the bustling street, causing many pedestrians to look sideways.

There are two monks, one tall and one short, both of them have outstanding figures and handsome faces.Girls and women especially cast a lot of glances. When they look at Ci Xin, most of them are envious and appreciative, and occasionally the two have a touch of regret.Looking at Jiang Yanxiao, all of them looked like they saw a beautiful child, and they all showed aunt smiles.

Jiang Yanxiao is not afraid of being watched, but afraid that others will not.Probably because he has been in Yunfu Mountain for a long time, he feels fresh every time he comes out, and it is interesting to look everywhere.

He followed Compassionately half a step away, looking left and right, curling up the corners of his lips, showing a complacent smile that didn't match his status as pure-hearted and ascetic, feeling good about himself.

[Converge. 】The system can't stand it anymore,【You are a monk now, and you are still underage. 】

[Don't be jealous,] Jiang Yan said with a smile, [Is it difficult to admit that I am so handsome with my bald head? 】

The system said that it really blinded its mechanical eyes.

Ci Xin took Jiang Yanxiao into a restaurant and ordered a table of the best vegetarian dishes.

Eight-treasure tofu, egg-wrapped chives, emerald fennel, white jade soup... Although there is no meaty taste, Jiang Yanxiao ate steamed buns for a few days, and finally found delicious dishes, which are almost the same as eating delicacies from mountains and seas.

The food tastes good, Jiang Yanxiao said while grilling the rice, "Zi Chu, what do you think?"

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Back to Master, this matter is strange."

Ci Xin scooped up a spoonful of tofu, as if afraid that Jiang Yanxiao would not be full, and piled it in his bowl: "How can you tell?"

"The female ghost is not normal. It is more likely that she has some other purpose than memory confusion." Jiang Yan thought for a while with a smile, and said, "Ask her important details such as who she is, why she was killed, and who her sisters are. I can't remember, but I can clearly describe Ji Jiuyun's image, and accurately identify the enemy..."

Compassionate paused, and interrupted him: "Do you know ghost king Ji Jiuyun?"

"...Well," Jiang Yan twitched his fingers with a smile, his face remained calm, "I used to meet various people when I was begging, and I heard others mention it."

This is still a relatively perfect reason for prevarication. Compassionate did not go deep into it. Jiang Yan continued with a smile: "Secondly, it is the doubt that everyone mentioned-why only the nineteen concubines died, and all of them were burned without exception. Into a charred corpse."

"Well, it seems to be covering up something."

"Not bad." Ci Xin picked up some chopsticks for him, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

Encouraged by Jiang Yanxiao, the more he spoke, the smoother he said: "Master, I think Yao County Magistrate is also very suspicious. My intuition tells me that he can't get away with it. When someone wakes up, he must have a trial."

Compassionately nodded, and added in a gentle voice: "There are two more points. First, the timing of the female ghost's appearance is too coincidental, and her words and deeds are strange, which makes people suspicious. Zichu, do you still remember what I said to her?"

Jiang Yan smiled: "Master, which sentence are you referring to?"

Compassionately said: "Ghosts are invisible and ever-changing."

Jiang Yanxiao instantly understood - it's not easy for a person to pretend to be a ghost, but it's not easy for a ghost to pretend to be a ghost?

Who is that female ghost really?

"Second," Ci Xin looked at Jiang Yan with a soft gaze, "Although I don't have much contact with the underworld, I have also dealt with the current ghost king a few times."

"Although Ji Jiuyun is wild and unrestrained, he will not take the initiative to provoke the upper body. Even if he wants to do something, he can do it secretly, and he will not blatantly oppose the immortal way."

It's like a person who is already notorious. He does a lot of bad things and accumulates public anger. Whenever he wants to do something bad, everyone will pour dirty water on him and make him take the blame.

"You mean, someone framed Ji Jiuyun?"

After the evening, the two left the restaurant.The evening breeze is blowing, the twilight is in harmony, and the setting sun casts a layer of soft light on the whole Yaocheng.This small town was unexpectedly quiet and peaceful, as if the shadow of the county magistrate's mansion only stayed for a moment, and soon returned to its original appearance.

Compassionately stocked up enough dry food, packed them one by one and put them in the Qiankun bag.

He took Jiang Yanxiao to the west, left the main street, and set foot on a small road.

"Master," Jiang Yan asked curiously with a smile, "Where are we going?"

Compassionately said: "Go to the Enci Temple in Yaocheng."

Along the way, Cixin introduced to Jiang Yanxiao the history of the Jokhang Enci Temple - Yuguo advocates the way of immortality and has always respected practitioners.No matter sword cultivator, Buddhist cultivator, capable person or stranger, all kinds of great powers, they will all receive invitations from the royal family to stay in Luojing or guard an important place.

Of course, you can agree or not.Like Yunfu Mountain, it belongs to the sword cultivator who does not enter the world. Unless the monsters make trouble and others can't make things right, otherwise they will not easily go out of the mountain and practice hard in seclusion.

Jokhang Enci Temple is just the opposite.The founder is a Buddhist monk who came all the way from the Western Regions.He spread Buddhism to the Central Plains, promoted Buddhism, and recruited believers, so that more and more practitioners choose Buddhism to practice.At the same time, he also made good friends with the royal family of Yu Kingdom, and the relationship was so close that the National Temple was established in Luojing. Other large and small states, counties, towns, and counties all have Enci Temple branches. Spread out.

Jiang Yan realized with a smile.Isn't this like a chain enterprise in the present world, with headquarters and branches?Even though he was going to be rescued at night, he was not allowed to sleep on the street. Ci Xin would definitely take him to find a place to live. The most convenient place was the Enci Temple in Yaocheng.

The Enci Temple in Yaocheng is built on the mountain, far away from the center of the city. When Cixin and Jiang Yanxiao arrived, it was time to rest. The gate of the mountain was closed, and no monk could be seen.

It's normal, after all, no one knows about the sudden visit of compassion.Jiang Yanxiao thought that compassion would knock on the door or transmit sound with spiritual power, but who would have thought that compassion would lead him directly to the door and open the door.

The vermilion gate slowly opened, and a temple that looked old appeared in front of it.His Highness Sakyamuni, who was facing him, had a little novice who was sweeping the floor. He didn't panic when he saw outsiders coming in, and shouted: "Master—someone is looking for you!"

After a while, a fat old monk came out from the back of the hall, and he saw compassion at a glance.

"Son, you're back."

Compassionate put his palms together, bowed and saluted: "Master Yuanguang."

Jiang Yan was a little surprised with a smile.

It was always other monks who saluted Compassion, calling him master or abbot.Compassionate and gentle in return, without the slightest airs.

But no matter how compassion treats others, even the old monks of Jokhang Enci Temple always respect, admire and slightly alienate him.It was the first time Jiang Yanxiao saw someone call compassion that way, with familiarity and kindness, inexplicably heart-warming.

Compassionately said again: "Master, this is my apprentice Xiao Zichu, whose Dharma name is Huixin."

Jiang Yanxiao hurriedly saluted, respectful.

"Huixin." The old monk smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and looked at Jiang Yanxiao with benevolent eyes. "If you take this dharma name, you must be born with intelligence and have a relationship with Buddhism."

"..." Jiang Yan smiled with shame.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but he is not enlightened enough, so Master gave him this dharma name.

Ci Xin talked with Yuan Guang for a while, it was more like a family chat rather than a small talk.Cixin took the initiative to ask Master Yuanguang about his daily life and meditation progress, and introduced his experience in recent years. During the period, he also had discussions on Buddhism. Yuanguang showed a gratified smile from time to time.

Jiang Yanxiao has been listening intently, and soon understands that this is the place where compassion grew up.

He looked around, except for a gold-plated Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, the rest of the furnishings were simple and even crude.But the small Enci Temple in this remote county is the real home of his master.

The two chatted for half an hour, and finally talked about the fire that broke out in Yaocheng County Magistrate's Mansion today.

"Son, what are you going to do?"

Compassionately said: "Zishi saves the souls of the dead, take this opportunity to track down the real culprit."

"Okay," the old monk's kind eyes fell on Jiang Yanxiao, "It's getting late, you guys go to rest first."

"Do you still live in the room you lived in when you were a child?"

Compassion: "Yes."

The moonlight fell on the branches, and there were small insects singing all around.Without the need for an old monk to lead the way, Compassionate took Jiang Yanxiao to the monk's room behind the Buddhist hall with ease.He stopped outside a living room, paused, and smiled at Jiang Yan: "Zi Chu, you take a rest here first. Follow me to Yao Mansion in two hours."

"Good master!" Jiang Yanxiao raised his foot and stepped in. At the same time, a mechanical sound wanted to sound in his mind.

[Ding dong—trigger the hidden branch!Please ask the host to understand the past of compassion, and to untie the knot for the current Master. 】
