All the high elves entered the temple, not only Bai Ling, but also a snow demon and a five-tailed fox. Bai Ling can be ruled out. As for the other two, Hong Ning also thinks it is unlikely. First of all, Zheng Ke was killed when he entered the temple. It can be seen that the monster must be in the temple. Moreover, Zheng Ke has come to Tianhe Temple many times. It was not until the day before yesterday when he moved in and replaced the thing with the word "Buddha" in the night. Monsters can't show up to harm people during the day, and they are afraid of Buddhism, and their cultivation will not be too deep. Helanxue and Lu Jiu can walk around the temple at will, and killing people does not require conditions at all.

Hong Ning lay on the bed thinking for a long time, got up, and decided to ask Bai Ling to go to the pond to have a look. Maybe some clues were ignored.

Bai Ling stood outside the door.

Hong Ning was surprised: "What are you doing here?"

Qingshen looked elsewhere, but Bai Ling didn't answer.

Was he worried that Lu Jiu would come to trouble him? Hong Ning quickly understood the reason, and her heart warmed: "Let's go to the pond again."

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw a person waiting outside, Bai Ling turned a blind eye and just walked forward.

"Bai Ling!" He Lanxue stopped him.

"Let."

"Senior brother, I'm right there, I have something to call you." Hong Ning found an excuse to get out of the way, and walked quickly without waiting for Bai Ling to say more. Although she was a little sorry for Bai Ling, she really didn't want to provoke and couldn't provoke him. Trouble, Helanxue is too crazy, she can do anything, not to mention that there is no need for others to interfere with the problems between them, it is better to ask Bai Ling to solve it by himself.

"Let." Annoyed.

"Do you like her anymore?"

"She is my junior sister, don't make trouble unreasonably!"

He Lanxue's voice softened after hearing the explanation: "Don't be angry, I'm just worried about you again..."

Hong Ning breathed a sigh of relief and quickened her pace. Bai Ling knew what was at stake, which made He Lanxue misunderstood. Maybe she would end up like Xiao Ke.

Turn the corner, and in front of you is the pond.

Suddenly, Hong Ning almost fell when he tripped over something under his feet. In a trance, she saw a white shadow lying on the ground, she immediately backed away to avoid looking at those eyes, and at the same time opened her mouth and wanted to call Bai Ling.

"Please hold me over there." Lazy voice.

Hearing that it wasn't Lu Jiu, Hong Ning stopped calling for help and looked down at him, "Who are you?"

The man on the ground looked pretty decent, but what was different was that he had a pair of ears that were unusually long, and his eyes were half-squinted, with a strange red light.

Is it a rabbit? On the contrary, Hong Ning calmed down. This goblin has not completely taken off its true form, and the mana will never be too strong. Could it be that he is doing something wrong?

Rabbit Essence was dissatisfied with her reaction: "Hey, stay?"

Hong Ning sighed: "Where do I want to hold you?"

Seeing that she was not afraid, Rabbit Jing was a bit surprised. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pointed to the other side of the pond: "I live outside the temple, you should carry me over there first."

"Okay." Hong Ning leaned down to hug him, but secretly held a talisman and chanted a spell.

Rabbit Essence was completely defenseless, aware of being restrained, and shocked: "What are you doing!"

The demon is not heavy, and there should be no harm to others. Hong Ning was a little suspicious, she pulled out the small sword around her waist and pointed at him, frightening him with a cold face: "Did you hurt people? If you don't tell the truth, you will be beaten back to your original shape by Tianlei!"

Hearing the fight back to its original shape, Rabbit Jing became anxious and begged for mercy: "I didn't harm anyone."

Hong Ning immediately asked, "How did Zheng Kuo die?"

Rabbit Jing wondered: "Who is Zheng Ke?"

Hong Ning said, "He built this temple at his expense, how could you not know it?"

Rabbit Jing differentiated: "I rarely come out on weekdays, how can I know about them."

Seeing it really doesn't look like a lie, Hong Ning was disappointed, but still unwilling: "You live nearby, and you haven't seen anything strange happen in the temple? Are there any other monsters in this temple?"

She asked casually, but Rabbit Essence seemed to really remember something: "You mean dead? Right, someone died!"

Hong Ning secretly rejoiced: "What do you know, tell the truth."

Rabbit Essence said: "Only I know about this matter. If it is with you, you must let me go."

Hong Ning responded without hesitation.

Rabbit Jing thought for a while and said, "There is indeed a dead person in the pond."

Hong Ning said: "It's Zheng Ke from a few days ago, who hurt him?"

Rabbit Essence said: "What a few days ago, ten years ago."

Hong Ning was surprised: "Ten years ago?"

Rabbit Jing returned to her lazy appearance: "Ten years ago, this was a small temple with only a few rooms. I went out to enjoy the shade that night and saw a monk sitting and talking with a man in green clothes, and the man in green clothes wanted to talk. Looking at the dragon palace crystal bottle, the monk took it out and showed it to him. The man repeatedly praised it and said that it is a precious treasure. It is worth a lot. Later, he killed the monk while he was not paying attention, tied it with iron chains and sank to the bottom of the pool. The bottle is gone."

Hong Ning sucked in a breath of cold air.

Inadvertently inquired about this old story, killing people because of greed, no wonder Zheng Ke did not let the pond be cleaned! The monk was killed for no reason, and the body has not yet seen the sun, and it must be difficult to enter the reincarnation.

Hong Ning asked, "Who is that monk?"

Rabbit Jing shook his head: "I don't know that."

It shouldn't be difficult to find out which monk in the temple went missing ten years ago.

"The little monk didn't enter the temple ten years ago," the little monk said while sorting out the scriptures in the small attic. "Don't mention the little monk, the abbot came later, and there has never been less than one person in the temple over the years."

Hong Ning wondered: "According to you, no one stayed in this temple ten years ago?"

The little monk put down the scriptures and explained: "In those days, this place was very desolate and simple, with only one Master Haiming guarding it, how could there be today's scene, then Master Haiming wandered around and handed over the temple to Zheng Tanyue to take care of it, Zheng Tanyue was very kind Keep your promises, invest in rebuilding the temple, and invite a highly respected host, so that the Tianhe Temple is today."

Hong Ning's thoughts turned, but she smiled: "No wonder Mr. Zheng will fund Tianhe Temple, it turns out that he is thinking of Master Haiming's friendship."

The little monk smiled and said, "The two of them were friends."

Hong Ning asked, "Has Master Haiming ever been back?"

The little monk shook his head.

now it's right! Hearing this, Hong Ning has roughly guessed the ins and outs of what happened: "Has anything strange happened in your temple over the years? For example, that pond?"

The little monk thought for a while: "I don't know if it's a strange thing, the lotus flowers in the pond bloom later than other places, but fall earlier, because the little monk finds it interesting, he even records the days in private, no matter how well those lotus flowers bloomed before, they will be in the sixth. The petals finished falling on the sixteenth day of the month."

Why is it related to the lotus again? Hong Ning was surprised and thoughtful.

The little monk said: "Last summer night, a senior brother also said that he saw a monster with red eyes and long ears by the pond, which made him sick for several days."

The rabbit ran out to enjoy the shade, scaring the monk. Hong Ning smiled secretly, afraid that he would be suspicious, so he deliberately changed the subject: "No one has come in for incense these two days?"

The little monk bowed his head down and said, "What incense is there, it's a blessing to be able to escape a life in the future."

Hong Ning hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

The little monk said in a low voice, "To tell the truth, Zheng Tanyue had an accident at our temple, and he couldn't find the murderer for a long time. Even if the magistrate does not pursue it, Tao magistrate will not let us go in the future. We ran away."

Dog officer! Hong Ning cursed inwardly, comforted him with good words, and then left in a hurry after asking something else. As soon as she walked down the corridor, she heard several yamen talking around.

"There is a ghost in the room where Zheng Ke died, brothers stay away these days!"

"real or fake?"

"What are you doing to scare you! Last night, Zhao San and I passed by and heard a woman's voice inside. The two of us dared to push the door open to see, but there was nothing left!"

Everyone gasped.

"I don't know when the surnamed Hai is willing to leave. The lives of our brothers are hanging, bad luck!"

...

Monks, ponds, lotuses... Now there are women involved, and things sound more and more complicated. Hong Ning frowned, without disturbing the yamen, she went back to her room and told Bai Ling about it.

Bai Ling said: "It's not Haiming, there is no resentment in the temple."

Ghosts are different from demons. After death, the soul has no attachment, nowhere to hide, and can only wander near the corpse. Therefore, it is impossible to escape the black and white impermanence of capture, unless it is full of resentment and cannot enter the gate of ghosts. Precisely because of grievances, wise men can easily find them. Now that there is no grievance in the pond, there is only one possibility - Monk Haiming has returned to the underworld.

"Maybe Master Haiming has already figured it out, but now his bones are sinking in the bottom of the pond without the light of day, even if he goes to the underworld, I'm afraid he won't enter the reincarnation so quickly," Hong Ning murmured: "Since it's not Hai who harmed Zheng Ke. Master Ming, it must be the banshee, she also has a grudge against Zheng Ke, what kind of grudge does she have?"

Bai Ling suddenly said, "I want to go back and have a look."

Hong Ning returned to her senses, puzzled: "What?"

Bai Ling was silent for a while, with a hint of unease in her tone: "Helanxue always acts impulsive and reckless, and said some angry words to me yesterday."

He Lanxue's personality is extreme, and it's too easy to anger others. In order to force him to go back, it's not impossible to do crazy things. Although Wenxin has a high-level career, the ruthlessness of that woman is not comparable to Wenxin.

The distance is too far, the sound transmission has already expired, and Hong Ning is also a little worried, nodding: "Why don't we all go back."

"The demon fox has already left, I must go back as soon as possible, it's too slow to take you," Bai Ling took her hand and put a bright and transparent bracelet on her wrist, "If you are in a hurry, call me. Me, I'll come back to you tomorrow."

Hong Ning had used this thing many times when she was a child, and she even tested it out of curiosity. Bai Ling could arrive in time every time, but since she knew what it was, she refused to use it again. Now that Bai Ling took it out again, she couldn't help sighing and forced a smile: "I'm not a child, so I always let Neidan leave my body, which is very hurtful and dangerous."

Bai Ling glanced at her, pushed her away, and disappeared when she went out.

At dusk, there was an incense table by the pond, covered with yellow cloth, candles, incense burners, tokens, and many other talismans written on three-color paper.

For the first time alone, Hong Ning was not sure. Although Master Haiming had nothing to do with this case, he died innocently. His bones sank at the bottom of the pond and never saw the light of day. Only when the truth is revealed can he enter the reincarnation at ease. It was intentional to be embarrassed to say it, and the trouble would involve him even more, because he was keeping a crystal bottle sent by Zheng Ke in his home.

To convince Haigong, you must first convince him that there are ghosts in the world.

This time the god is very special. Wen Xin has never been invited, let alone Hong Ning can't even remember the common formulas. She had to guess what to do. First, she respectfully kowtowed, chanted the mantra with all the gods, and then used her sword to provoke three The colored talisman paper was lit on the candle, and he said silently: "Disciple Hong Ning, I would like to worship under the throne of the God of Flowers, the monarch knows, the token is up..."

Although the words are different, the meaning is clear. After Hong Ning finished her recitation, she stared nervously at the three tokens, her eyes fixed.

There was no movement.

Hong Ning continued to chant the mantra to burn the talisman paper, repeated three or four times but still no effect, she had to sigh, and was about to give up, and was about to pack her things when suddenly a cool wind blew, with a strange fragrance in the wind, and the paper dust scattered.

"What are you doing?" A familiar voice.

It is rare for me to communicate with the gods at this level, how can I invite the real body to come! Hong Ning's first reaction was that something went wrong, and she was panicking. Seeing that he was relieved, she was secretly happy that she did not invite the flower god, but invited the flower demon she knew, which was also an unexpected gain.

Jinxiu came over.

Hong Ning originally wanted to be called eldest brother, but felt that it was inappropriate. They may be hundreds of thousands of years old, so he went to call him and asked, "Why are you here?"

Jinxiu didn't answer, just looked at the talismans on the incense case, and said with a smile, "Please ask the God of Flowers? You can't get it like this."

Hong Ning blushed: "I'll try."

Jinxiu said softly: "I don't want to cultivate immortals, and I don't want to learn magic. How can a person survive in this world in the future?"

There was no sarcasm in the words at all, it was emotion, and there was a hint of worry. Hong Ning was stunned when she heard it, and calmly joked: "Let the master and senior brothers support me, I can't live forever, and I will definitely die before them.

Jinxiu was silent for a moment and sighed: "No matter what happens, you must remember that everything is God's will, destined to doom."

The words were mysterious, and Hong Ning was inexplicable.

Seeing her in a daze, Jinxiu couldn't help but ask with a smile, "What do you want to ask the Flower God to do?"

Hong Ning returned to her senses, told him everything that happened, and finally said: "I suspect that the lotus in this pond is doing the trick."

Jinxiu turned to look at the pond: "How can you see it?"

Subconsciously wanting to trust this person, Hong Ning did not intend to hide: "After more than ten years, there is no resentment around, Master Haiming's soul must have entered the underworld, they heard a woman's voice in that room last night, which means that it is not Master Haiming, the flower affairs have always been in the hands of the flower god Huaxian, but the lotus flowers here are strangely blooming. They all wither before June 16 every year. I’m afraid it’s not because of the weather. Except for the lotus monster, who can be so comfortable with other monsters to control the time spent?"

Jinxiu said: "Everything has its own set. Zheng Ke did too much evil in his lifetime, so there is this reward."

Hong Ning agreed: "Although Zheng Ke deserves to die, we still don't know whether this lotus demon is good or evil, it is hard to guarantee that she will not harm others in the future, and if she killed Zheng Ke, she should come out and make it clear, so as not to implicate the temple. These monks, Tao Zhixian will definitely take anger at them, if she insists on doing her own way and implicates innocent people, I will have to force her to show up, and then the cultivation base will be destroyed, no wonder I."

Jinxiu frowned: "For a hundred years of flowers and trees, the thunder will fall at that time. Only by avoiding it can you become a demon. After three hundred years of cultivation, it will take a small catastrophe, five hundred years of great catastrophe, and two thousand years of successful catastrophe before you can become a small fairy."

It is normal for him to be concerned about the same kind, and Hong Ning understands: "I know what you mean, just because it is not easy to practice, and things are not clear, I am afraid of wronging her, so I want to ask her, but she still refuses to show up. , I just thought of asking the God of Flowers to do the summoning order on my behalf."

Jinxiu nodded: "You did the right thing."

Hong Ning couldn't help but test: "You... are you the same as her?"

Jinxiu really smiled and did not deny it.

This question was abrupt, and Hong Ning was worried that he would be angry. Seeing this, he could not help but sigh in relief and smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I wanted to ask for a long time."

Jinxiu said, "Want me to help you?"

Xiao Si can't hide it from him, Hong Ning admits: "Can you see the flower god?"

"In fact, there is no need for others to intervene in this matter," Jinxiu looked at Chi Shui, "it's not that she doesn't want to come out, it's just that there are Buddhist teachings everywhere in the temple, and there are officials here. Don't dare to show up. At midnight, you can ask them to remove their weapons, remove their official robes, wait by the pool, and she will come out. "

It's enough to be afraid of the Buddhist beads. It turns out that she is also afraid of the yamen with knives. No wonder the yamen heard the sound of pushing the door and went in, so she ran away. It seems that she also wanted to make it clear. Hong Ning was relieved, and asked curiously: "You are not an ordinary flower demon, are you... a flower fairy?"

Jinxiu smiled but did not answer.

Hong Ning remembered something: "Do you know who the King of Heaven is?"

Jinxiu said: "What?"

Hong Ning repeated what Zhongxian said in the Evil Dragon Pool the day before: "He said that he would pay his respects to the King of Heaven."

Jinxiu shook his head: "He was originally the chief of Nantianmen. He was lethargic. He missed it once a thousand years ago. Fortunately, he was forgiven by the emperor. I didn't think that he would not change his bad habits. Today, it is also doomed."

Hong Ning said to himself: "But he said he had seen me, and he also said that I went to see it with King Zhongtian."

Splendid is silent.

Hong Ning looked at him suspiciously: "What are you? Red camellia? Camellia fairy?"

Jinxiu lowered her head and stared at her, her eyes full of smiles.

Relying on his good temper, Hong Ning became bold: "What a flower fairy, let me see the original form."

Jinxiu said: "It's very rude to let Huaxian show its original shape."

Hong Ning deliberately scare him: "I'm a mountain girl, I don't know how to behave, are you not afraid that I will accept you when I get angry?"

"Boldness and rudeness, this temperament is only worthy of red camellia," Jin Xiu smiled, her eyes soft as water, "It's getting late, go do your errands, I'll come back in the evening." She turned around and walked a few steps before disappearing.

With red camellia?There was still a faint scent in the surrounding air, and her face was flushed with redness. She suddenly felt flustered, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards Haigong's residence.
