Chapter 244 Shocked!
The temple is called Luohan Temple. The side hall where Zhou Qinan lives is actually a house built by the monks to facilitate the management of the surrounding land. It is not well built, and it is a bit exaggerated to call it a hall, but it is indeed big enough.
It was not inside the temple, so the crowd did not disturb the monk and went straight to their destination.
This is an isolated house. Except for the forest at the back, the other three sides are dry fields. The people from Tianxuan Pavilion guarded the front and back doors. Pavilion Master Wei stood in front of the gate and said in a deep voice:
"Where is Special Envoy Zhou? I have something to ask you!"
There was no sound in the house.
Is there no one?
Pavilion Master Wei stretched out his hand and pushed the half-closed door open. He walked in and asked again:
"Where is Special Envoy Zhou?"
In response, there was a burst of dense bowstring sounds.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
Pavilion Master Wei remained calm in the face of danger. He rolled up his sleeves and shook off the arrows that were shot at him. The others quickly retreated.
Pavilion Master Wei also retreated and closed the door. The sound of "bang bang bang" continued, and all the sharp arrows hit the wooden door.
Pavilion Master Wei performed this set of movements neatly and handsomely, and Jia Er and Jia San even had time to cheer. But Lin Shiqi saw that he was a little out of breath, after all, he was old.
Then he gave an order, and the killers from Tianxuan Pavilion jumped onto the roof and ran wildly on it. At the same time, they deliberately exerted force with their feet to make the broken wood chips and tiles on the roof fall down. After a while, a large piece of the roof collapsed.
The killers jumped out of the hole one after another without hesitation, and the sound of fierce fighting suddenly rang out from inside.
The people outside the house also took the opportunity to rush in.
Lin Shiqi and the other two did not move.
After a while, the fighting stopped and the door opened.
A2 and A3 are all smiling,
"Master, we found the Young Master, he's inside!"
Pavilion Master Wei was overjoyed.
"Okay, okay! Where are the people? Take me there quickly!"
A group of people walked in hurriedly and soon saw a young man who was tied up and lying on an empty water tank. His mouth was stuffed with rags and he was whimpering.
"Xin'er!"
Pavilion Master Wei shouted, and several people nearby rushed over to untie him.
Lin Shiqi just glanced at it and was not interested in it. He carefully examined the situation in the hall with Zhou Lang and Xiao Ya Niang.
It can be seen that there are about twenty or thirty corpses. The people from Tianxuan Pavilion are wearing uniform clothes this time and are easy to distinguish. Three of them died, and the rest should be Prince Gong's men.
The strength of Tianxuan Pavilion is still very good.
But Zhou Qinan is nowhere to be seen.
Just as she was thinking about it, there was a sudden cry from the other side.
"ah!"
What followed was a flurry of panic and scolding.
Lin Shiqi turned his head and looked over, and was immediately stunned!
There was a dagger stuck in Pavilion Master Wei’s chest!
What is going on? ?
Wasn’t everything fine just now?
Lin Shiqi was full of doubts, but he saw Pavilion Master Wei holding the dagger tightly and saying with difficulty:
"He's not Xin'er! Take him, take him down..."
The young man in the tank turned out to be a fake!
After his successful strike, he quickly rushed towards the door and tried to escape.
But the people from Tianxuan Pavilion were no pushovers. Although they were surprised, they quickly reacted and stopped him.
The disguised young man was very ferocious, but he was alone and surrounded, which sealed his fate, and he was quickly hacked to death.
"Pavilion Master!"
Jia Er Jia San stood in front of Pavilion Master Wei, his face full of grief.
Normally, Pavilion Master Wei would not be deceived so easily, but firstly because of Lin Shiqi's divination, and secondly because Jia Er and others had confirmed that they had seen someone, plus the previous ambush in the hall, all these reasons combined led to him not having any doubts.
At this moment, his face was as pale as gold paper and he was having difficulty breathing. The dagger had pierced his heart. He seemed to want to say something, but his lips trembled constantly and in the end, he could not utter a word and died suddenly.
"Pavilion Master!"
"It's all your fault, woman! You're the one who killed the Pavilion Master!"
Jia Er said angrily to Lin Qi.
Jia San also followed up and echoed:
"Maybe this is the conspiracy of these three people! They tricked us here on purpose!"
Lin Shiqida was speechless.
"We have no grudges against each other, and we didn't even know you before. Why would we come here just to harm you?"
It seems like this Pavilion Master really deserves to be unlucky. In the original book, he dies as soon as he appears.
Zhou Lang didn't say anything, but just hugged his chest, with his right hand ready to pull out a gun and shoot at any time.
It had been agreed before that he might not have time to take care of things here in the future, so all matters would be handled by Lin Shiqi and he would just cooperate.
The little mute girl also had the same attitude, looking at these people coldly.
Jiayi said something fair:
"The Pavilion Master has fallen into a trap. We cannot arbitrarily accuse anyone. The people lying in ambush in the palace are all Zhou Qinan's men. We have seen them before, so we have some impression of them, right? Why are you blaming Miss Lin and the others?"
Jia Er said coldly:
"Maybe they are in collusion with Zhou Qinan?"
Jia San continued:
"Yes, didn't she say that Young Pavilion Master Wei Xin was here? But there are no one from him here. How do you explain this?"
Lin Shiqi also started thinking about it.
Since Zhou Qinan wants to stir up internal strife in Tianxuan Pavilion, there should be nothing wrong with keeping Wei Xin, as he will be more useful than killing him.
But where are the others?
It was already amazing that Zhou Qinan had set up all these traps and manpower. Could it be that he had time to take Wei Xin away?
The key point is that it’s useless to take him away, so it’s better to let him go.
"Wei Xin should still be here. Instead of blaming me, you should look for him more carefully."
Lin Shiqidao.
Jia Er and others did not object and began to search carefully.
There were a lot of miscellaneous items in the hall, and a large part of the roof had collapsed, so searching was not easy.
But this time, there were about 10 to 20 people from Tianxuan Pavilion, and they were quick in their actions. They quickly searched all around the house and even the back of the house, but found nothing.
They are all killers, so they should have a lot of experience in this area, but they can't find any clues.
That's strange.
Did I guess wrong?
Lin Shiqi glanced at the large vat in the corner and suddenly found something wrong. Compared with the messy residue on the ground, the vat was too clean.
"Who first discovered this jar? Why is it so clean?"
Someone replied:
"I was the first to discover it. There was a large wooden board blocking the tank at the time, so no dust fell on it."
Following the direction of his finger, Lin Shiqi indeed saw a thick wooden board thrown aside, dirty from being stepped on.
She walked forward and walked around the vat.
This jar is very big and has a round belly.
Zhou Lang also came up and said:
"Is there something wrong with this tank? Move it aside and have a look."
As he spoke, he lifted the edge of the vat and pulled it hard. The vat was dragged away, leaving a circle on the ground.
Lin Shiqi took a closer look and said immediately:
"There's something wrong with this circle. It should be movable. Pry it up and take a look!"
