"Princess Linglong and her entourage are going to Chiyang City, and they will have to pass through mountains along the way," Mo Wen looked at Cheng Ming and said, "I was suspicious of her, but if she had taken the Jade Dragon, why would she put it in the White Horse Temple?"
Cheng Ming was stunned to listen to Mo Wen's words at first, and then when he heard Mo Wen's question to him, he hurriedly said, "Master Host, this is Yu Linglong's frame-up!"
Mo Wen said, "The White Horse Temple is heavily guarded. Tell me, how is Yu Linglong going to get this jade dragon into the White Horse Temple?"
The ruby flying dragon did not seem big in Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes, much smaller than her ruby vermilion bird, but it was definitely not something that could be carried around in one's pocket. How could such a thing be delivered to the White Horse Temple without anyone noticing?
Cheng Ming could not answer Mo Wen's question. The White Horse Temple had monk soldiers guarding the temple. Even if these monk soldiers were not able to provide adequate protection, there were still the attendant monks that Mo Wen brought from the Temple of Eternal Life in the temple. Under the eyes of so many people, Yu Linglong would be discovered even if she entered the temple empty-handed. So how did this Yulong get into the temple?
Mo Wen said: "Think carefully before you speak..."
After a long while, Cheng Ming said, "Master, Yu Linglong is very skilled in martial arts."
Mo Wendao said: "She is very good at martial arts, and she also has a smart brain. She sent this jade dragon to your White Horse Temple. Is she trying to cover up her crime and cry thief?"
Mo Wen would not underestimate a woman who could defeat Zhao Qiuming and his daughter. When thinking of Yu Linglong, Mo Wen would always think more. Sending Yulong to the White Horse Temple was such a blatant framing. Wasn't Yu Linglong afraid of being seen through? Changshan was a must-go place to Chiyang City. If the Bodhi Temple was destroyed, Yu Linglong herself would be a suspect. If this Yulong was identified as a frame-up by her, wouldn't the Princess' crime of destroying the temple be established?
In this world, no one dares to bear the crime of destroying a Buddhist temple.
Yu Linglong would not do such a stupid thing that would only hurt her own feet, so Mo Wen looked at the bright red jade dragon. This jade dragon was in the White Horse Temple, so it couldn't be a frame-up by Yu Linglong. (Her Highness the Princess really didn't think of framing someone else, she just wanted to find a place to hide a treasure ==)
Cheng Ming was seriously injured and was exhausted after kneeling for half a day, but Imperial Master Cheng Ming did not dare to move.
Mo Wen sighed and said, "You are the national master, Jingshi is not as good as you, why do you do this?"
Imperial Master Chengming was completely panicked. This was simply a disaster from heaven! "Master," Chengming knelt down a few steps towards Mo Wen and said anxiously, "I really didn't know about this. Before the Master told me, I didn't even know that the Bodhi Temple was destroyed."
Mo Wen looked at Cheng Ming, and his expression seemed compassionate.
National Master Chengming said: "Abbot, just ask Jingshi and you will know." Chengming never thought that one day his mortal enemy would become his only lifeline.
Mo Wen laughed and said, "Now that the Bodhi Temple has been destroyed, do you think Jingshi will still be alive?
Temple destroyed, people killed?
Master Chengming collapsed to the ground. Now that there was no evidence, what should he do?
Mo Wen looked at Cheng Ming and said, "Cheng Ming, do you know what crime it is to kill your fellow disciples?"
"Master!" Cheng Ming shouted, "I am innocent, Master!"
"Oh?" Mo Wen said, "I gave you so much time to explain, but you couldn't. Chengming, if I didn't come this time, would I have to wait until the ice and snow melted, spring came and the flowers bloomed, and the believers went to the Bodhi Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha before I learned that the Bodhi Temple had been destroyed and people had died?"
"I dare not," Cheng Ming said anxiously, "Master, why would I do something to seek death?"
Mo Wen looked at the red jade flying dragon not far from him.
Cheng Ming also looked at the jade dragon. He was sure that someone was trying to frame him, but he didn't dare mention Yu Linglong's name in front of Mo Wen. Mo Wen said it wasn't Yu Linglong, and if he said the murderer was Yu Linglong again, it would undoubtedly anger the host master.
At this time, the attendant monk asked for an audience outside the door and said, "Master."
"Come in," Mo asked.
The attendant monk walked into the Buddhist hall in a hurry, without even looking at Master Chengming who was kneeling on the ground, and walked straight to Mo Wen.
Mo Wen asked, "What's the matter?"
The attendant monk whispered, "Master, there is news from the Suzaku Imperial Palace. Concubine Long has ordered the Imperial Guards to surround the Emperor's bedroom."
Mo Wen's expression froze for a moment, and he said, "The imperial guards surrounded the king's bedroom?"
"Yes," the monk attendant said, "It is said that the king gave the imperial seal to Princess Linglong, who took it to the Queen's Palace of Queen Jing."
Mo Wen's face darkened.
The attending monk lowered his head and dared not say anything more.
"Foolish woman," Mo Wen said in a low voice after a moment's silence.
Who was the abbot scolding when he called her "foolish woman"? Chengming and the attending monks all knew that the abbot was scolding the Dragon Concubine.
"Tell Long to withdraw the troops," Mo Wen ordered the monk to ask, "Ask her if she has forgotten that the person in the bedroom is her king?"
"Yes," the monk attendant received the order and walked out quickly.
After the monks left the temple, Mo Wen stood up from his chair.
Cheng Ming quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.
When Mo Wen walked past Cheng Ming, his sleeves fluttered.
Chengming fell face down on the cold ground of the Buddhist temple, his skull shattered by Mo Wen's Qi. Because the body fell below the jade dragon, the blood gradually soaked the dragon's tail. The jade dragon that Tianxing bluntly said was ominous seemed to have a brighter red color in an instant.
Mo Wen stood in the corridor outside the Buddhist hall. The flying snow made Mo Wen feel inexplicably irritated.
A monk servant ran in from outside the courtyard and saw Mo Wen standing in the corridor. He ran straight to Mo Wen and bowed, saying, "Master, we have found the whereabouts of Li Luo and Concubine Jiang."
Mo Wen glanced at the attendant monk and asked, "Is the news reliable?"
The monk attendant said: "The one who brought the news is from the Imperial Guards."
"Where are these mothers now?" Mo Wen asked again.
The attending monk hurriedly told Mo Wen an address.
The attendant monk was not from Suzaku, and could repeat the address, but he did not know where this place was in Chiyang City. However, Mo Wen found out that this was indeed a remote place, "hidden in the city," Mo Wen sighed.
The attending monks did not dare to say much, but stood there with their heads bowed, waiting for Mo Wen's instructions.
"Take the monk soldiers with you," Mo Wen said to the monk attendant, "and make sure to capture this pair of mothers."
The attendant monk asked, "How many people should we bring with us?"
"Take them all," Mo asked.
Cheng Ming said that he was hurt by Gu Xinglang. Now Li Luo and Jiang Fei are obviously hiding alone, not with Yu Linglong and Gu Xinglang. In Mo Wen's opinion, the person who hurt Cheng Ming must be someone else. Gu Xinglang saved someone, but didn't protect him well, but let him hide alone? This is unreasonable.
Looking back at the Buddhist temple where Cheng Ming's body was lying, Mo Wen whispered, "Damn it."
