Chapter 160

In fact, they have almost turned to the theory of traps. If it wasn't for Bai Xiuyu, there would be no need for such a coincidence, and when the two of them were not killed, it was when Bai Xiuyu came to the temple.

For a moment, the room fell into silence.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao squinted his eyes and fell into his own thinking.

The other four are also thinking about the relationship, and some clues they missed.

"Brother, does the piece of gold we saw at the scene have any special origins?" Zhuge smiled and asked Mo Ziyan after thinking for a while.

Mo Ziyan shook his head, "The temple is mostly decorated with jade and marble, and the ministers of the Kingdom of God rarely use gold ornaments, so it is no surprise that the gold scraps were left by the murderer."

"Where's Elder Moon's prayer beads?" She continued to ask.

"I tried to cut off the outside of a bead, and there were very small characters engraved on it. The people in the temple said that it was a Buddhist scripture." Mo Ziyan replied, "Elder Yue also had a string with Buddhist scriptures engraved on it. I had a Buddhist beads, but lost it three months ago, and then asked the high priest, of course, the previous high priest, to carve another string for him."

"It can still be cut, that is to say, it is less than seven days." Nalan Zhen held his chin, his thoughts drifted slightly, "I don't know why he was coated with secluded tree sap seven days ago. .”

"Maybe the former high priest gave them the beads seven days ago?" Zhuge smiled with a sneer, "It takes a lot of time to engrave a Buddhist scripture or a long inscription of the temple on such a small bead. "

"Then what do you mean..." Nalan Zhen's eyes lit up.

"The former high priest just resigned, he's not dead yet, is he?" Zhuge pointed out with a smile.

That's right!The former high priest is still alive, just ask him if there is anything special about those prayer beads, why didn't he think of such a simple thing?
Mo Ziyan glanced at Zhuge and smiled, although she seemed quite relaxed now, but what kind of mood was under her calm appearance, others had no way of knowing.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao didn't want to say it, but this time, she did feel uneasy.

This anxiety was fulfilled when he left the temple to find the former high priest the next day.

Although the former high priest is no longer a priest, his identity and status in the Kingdom of God will not change in any way.He lives on the back hill behind the temple, which is a place with a quiet environment, and it is also the place where the previous high priests spent their lives.

However, when Zhuge smiled and they went, the beautiful place was already full of fireworks at this moment.

The believers in white cloaks ran back and forth one by one, carrying water. Finally, the royal guards pulled off their cloaks and went to the lake to carry water to put out the fire.

When the fire was extinguished, both the people in the temple and the royal family were ashamed and embarrassed.

The original appearance of the building could no longer be seen. The scorched walls began to fall off, and even the few remaining beams and columns were crumbling. The whole scene could only be described as a mess.

This fire burned almost nothing, and there were still a few corpses under the ashes.

One of the corpses had a string of familiar Buddhist beads on its wrist, but the size of each bead was larger than what they had seen at Elder Moon Eagle.Because of the Youshu sap, this thing was not burned, even though the corpse was already scorched.

Seeing that corpse, all the believers in the temple screamed out, because it was the former high priest.

Only one thought emerged in Nalan Zhenwu Shishi's mind: Is there such a coincidence?
When the drunkard and Wang Yu arrived, they could only see a row of seven charred corpses, with almost nothing left.Everyone in the temple was crying, and they couldn't ask anything even if they wanted to.

"Beauty, what's the matter?" The drunkard held the jug in one hand and swayed to Zhuge Xiaoxiao's side.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao's expression at this time was very subtle, she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry, she just looked at the residue, no one knew what was going on in her heart.

"We're late too." She turned around and responded lightly.

The drunkard and Wang Yu didn't come here because they were notified that the mountain behind the temple was on fire. personal.

"Is the clue broken here?" The drunkard unscrewed the cork of the flagon and took a sip of wine, "Beauty, how about we cooperate?"

Zhuge smiled and stopped to look at him.

The drunkard smiled angrily, "Beauty, I've heard about your reputation from my brother." He leaned closer to her, "The goddess of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, Huizhi Lanxin, smart and clever, has repeatedly solved strange cases... ...There are even rumors that there is no case in the world that you cannot solve!"

Zhuge Xiaoxiao didn't know who the drunkard's "brother" was, let alone how "loud" her reputation would be, and the person in front of him felt a bit of both good and evil, saying that his profession was just, but his performance But like a hooligan.

Of course, Bai Xiuyu's rascal was much prettier than him.

"It's just a rumor."

Generally speaking, people who are praised by people who have nothing in the sky and no one in the earth say rumors, it is definitely with a modest smile, in fact, I don't know how happy I am to hear this kind of praise.

But now Zhuge Xiaoxiao's "it's just a rumor" is absolutely perfunctory, not to mention that she is happy in her heart, but she doesn't even bother to perfunctory.

The drunkard didn't find it strange at all, and followed her footsteps anyway.

"Most of the rumors are indeed not credible, but they are groundless. There must be some reason for others to spread such rumors, isn't it?" the drunkard said slowly.

"So what?" Zhuge asked with a smile.

"..." The drunkard choked. In fact, he thought that Zhuge Xiaoxiao would say something else about the rumors, but in the end she just gave him such a non-trivial sentence, which really made him a little nervous. Awkward.

"Smile, come and have a look." Mo Ziyan called her from the front.

Naturally, Zhuge Xiaoxiao would not continue to chatter with the drunkard. She came here to ask about the secrets in the Buddhist beads, but there is no need to ask now.Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that there is something tricky about this fire, but the speed...
