Chapter 386: Karma Killing (5)
"Boom, boom, boom!"
In the huge Buddhist temple, there is an extremely majestic Vajra statue holding a Vajra sword and stepping on a thunder lion. The statue is more than ten feet tall and looks down at Lu Yi who is sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall.
Lu Yi tapped the wooden fish lightly, and a small Vajra Mount Sumeru floated above his head, emitting a faint golden light.
A ball of golden Buddha flames burned several weapons and a large pile of rare materials floating in front of him. The Guixu Treasure Bottle was suspended above his head, and the purest Xuanyuan Divine Water poured out in streams, constantly splashing on the weapons that were burned to a bluish-white color and turned into a juice state, but maintained their original shape.
It is calcined and recast at the same time as it is quenched and refined.
This is a weapon refining method that Lu Yi figured out on his own...it's very effective , but it costs a lot.
Of course, it didn't matter how much it cost. The Wu family behind Wu Youwei had already paid the medical fee for Lvyi three days ago according to the price of 1.08 million Jinlian Kaijue that Lu Yi had asked for.
Also delivered were several fragments of ancient Buddhist treasures, all of which were useful to Lu Yi.
The Wu family is expressing their attitude.
Three days ago, someone broke into the Dajinshan Temple and colluded with Wu Youwei, the Shaoqing of Tianxingtai, in order to throw dirty water on Lu Yi and Princess Xuanzhen of Tianwu... They even abducted thousands of young ladies from Yan Dynasty with good family backgrounds, ruined their innocence and framed them.
The more we investigate this matter, the more frightening it becomes.
Xuan Qi was involved, but his personal eunuch Ying Gonggong, who was in charge of half of the affairs in the Second Prince's mansion, disappeared. No one saw him alive, and no one saw his body dead. Xuan Qi said he knew nothing about it, but who would believe him?
It's right to say that he killed someone to silence him, right?
Following the thread of Xuan Qi, we found that something was not right.
On the surface, Xuan Qi was an honest and kind child. Among the adult princes of Xuan Taiyi, he was regarded as "simple and honest" or even "dull". However, after the incident broke out, several government offices of the Xuanyan Dynasty joined forces to dig deeper and found that the second prince was actually very capable.
In the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty, several small and medium-sized sects have been secretly connected by him, and that would have been fine.
He even secretly kept assassins, raising nearly a million assassins and armored soldiers with cultivation above the Furnace Realm in the name of "Green Forest Bandits"... Of course, a million assassins, scattered across the huge Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty, which has a territory of tens of millions of miles, seems very sparse...
But a million assassins... this total number still shocked everyone, including Xuan Taiyi!
And the resources needed to support these one million death warriors... well... you wouldn't know until you investigate. Once you investigate, you will find that Xuan Qi is actually related to the tragic massacres of many wealthy businessmen in the vassal state of the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty.
Well, Xuan Qi also colluded with the generals in the court and did some things to collect empty salaries.
Tsk, Xuan Qi also colluded with officials in the court, took over all the lawsuits, and took advantage of both the plaintiff and the defendant.
Xuan Qi was involved in other activities such as usury, opening casinos, running brothels, forced lending, and honey traps, as long as it could make money.
On weekdays, it is said that Xuan Qi, who is reluctant to even eat a bowl of 'Blood Shark Golden Hook Fin', is actually the richest among all the princes and princesses of Xuan Taiyi...
There are so many shady dealings, it’s so shocking!
Xuan Qi was arrested and taken to the clan house, where he was said to have been severely tortured.
But even though his butt was beaten to a pulp, Xuan Qi was still crying and shouting for justice, saying that he really did not send anyone to throw dirty water on the Dajinshan Temple.
Okay, let’s continue investigating this matter involving Eunuch Ying.
Another pile of dirty water was uncovered... Later, following the lead of Eunuch Ying, they traced it back to an extremely favored eunuch beside the eldest prince Xuan Yi.
Just when the truth was about to be traced back to this little eunuch, he was beside Xuan Yi, helping him write a quarter of an hour ago, and the next quarter of an hour later, he disappeared... Xuan Taiyi was furious and had Xuanfeng City sealed off, but he was unable to find this ordinary little eunuch!
Therefore, Xuan Yi was directly brought out from his one-year confinement and thrown into the clan residence, where he was also subjected to severe torture.
Then, they started from Wu Youwei and followed the vines to investigate like digging out sweet potatoes, and found many officials in the court of Xuan Yanxian Dynasty who had behaved improperly.
Wu Youwei personally framed Dajinshan Temple. There were many such cases, and there were many other unspeakable cases. Some of these cases were truly horrific, and the victims were extremely miserable.
In the end, even a lawless woman like Cang Jiuer was frightened.
She personally requested Xuan Taiyi to just mention some things and not to investigate further - if they continued to investigate, she, Cang Jiuer and Xuan Xing, mother and daughter, would become the public enemy of all the civil and military officials in the Xuan Yan Xian Dynasty.
Not to mention Xuanzhen taking over the throne or anything like that, it's a good thing that the mother and daughter were not frightened to death by the backlash from the aristocratic families of the Xuanyan Dynasty.
The investigation within the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty could not go any further.
Then, we can only follow the line of the man in black and move forward all the way.
Those people who were captured alive in the destroyed void teleportation array strongholds could not withstand the means used by Canghai Tower and have confessed that they were indeed the stronghold of the shadow studio.
Photo studio, this is one of the most famous killer organizations in Yuanlingtian.
Their power is not obvious, and no one knows who their leader is or where their headquarters is. However, the sects in Yuanlingtian are aware of this, and the overall strength of Yinglou should be ranked among the top 100 sects in Yuanlingtian.
The strength of the photo studio is even more intimidating.
Sects like Canghai Tower and Baoguang Pavilion are wealthy and have extensive connections. They are like the wealthy people in the secular world and are awe-inspiring.
As for photo studios, they are like the desperate criminals in the secular world... No matter how rich you are and how many bodyguards you have, the people in the photo studios can still cause you to bleed. Once you provoke them, they will make you unable to sleep or eat, and your life and property may be threatened at any time!
Therefore, the deterrent power of the photo studio is much stronger than that of Baoguang Pavilion and Canghai Tower.
'Boom, boom, boom.'
Three days have passed, and the above news is what Lu Yi has received.
There is no way to investigate the internal affairs of the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty. The more they investigate, the more shameful things they uncover. Xuan Taiyi is unwilling to investigate further, and Cang Jiuer and Xuan Xi dare not investigate further.
As for the clue about the man in black, since it has been traced back to the photo studio, it all depends on the negotiations between Canghai Tower and the photo studio.
But I guess... it's tough enough.
'Boom, boom, boom.'
Lu Yi continued to beat the wooden fish.
Ah Hu was waiting outside the main hall... He had just come to report to Lu Yi that Baoguang Pavilion had sent another person, Jinkeng, who hoped to meet with Lu Yi.
Lu Yi was beating the wooden fish and had left the gold pit outside to dry for a quarter of an hour.
There is no doubt that this is very rude behavior.
'Boom, boom, boom.'
The crying of thousands of young girls three days ago still echoed in Lu Yi's mind.
This is a big deal... More than 70% of these girls come from good families. They disappeared inexplicably, and their families have already started to make a fuss, mobilizing people all over the world to investigate the matter.
This incident has aroused the resentment of the aristocratic families and existing forces in the territories of the newly surrendered Yan Dynasty and dozens of vassal states. These days, Ling Wuyou's desk has been filled with various memorials, the words of which were so fierce that Ling Wuyou was overwhelmed. He sent letters to Lu Yi for three consecutive days to cry out his feelings.
'Boom, boom, boom.'
Lu Yi has already reached an agreement with Xuan Xing.
A nunnery for meditation will be built in the back mountain of Dajinshan Temple. These thousands of young girls will meditate in this nunnery in the future... When their minds are peaceful and they want to continue to be nuns, they can be nuns. Lu Yi can teach them the skills of the female nuns of Shuiyue Zen Temple.
If they do not want to be nuns, Xuanzang's Black Swallow Guard welcomes them to join.
However, it is difficult for them to return to their family.
After they return, their families will be disgraced, and judging by the way those big families act, there is a high probability that they will die of inexplicable illness.
In the minds of those big families, the lives of thousands of women are not as important as their "innocence".
So for the sake of their lives, it is better to let them stay in the Shwedagon Pagoda.
But this matter...
'Boom, boom, boom.'
Jinkeng was not a man of good temper. After being left outside for two quarters of an hour, he finally came in with a few bodyguards and a dozen guards, pushing and shoving his way through.
"You Fahai, you are so arrogant. I came here on behalf of Baoguang Pavilion and the studio to discuss serious matters with you, but you left me out for nearly half an hour!"
"What do you want to do? Do you look down on Baoguang Pavilion? Or do you look down on Yinglou?"
Lu Yi did not send any message to the Taoist soldiers and monks to stop them seriously, so Jinkeng was able to break into the Buddhist temple where Lu Yi was smoothly.
Seeing that Lu Yi ignored him, Jin Keng stood at the threshold of the Buddhist temple with his hands behind his back, looking around.
After looking around for a while, Jinkeng pointed at the huge Vajra statue behind Lu Yi and asked curiously, "Strange, I've seen countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas enshrined in other temples and nunneries. Which Bodhisattva are you enshrining?"
Lu Yi put down the wooden hammer in his hand and said calmly: "Vajra Power Bodhisattva!"
Jinkeng was stunned and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. Most people worship Medicine King Bodhisattva and Child-Giving Bodhisattva. Vajra Power? Just by listening, it sounds like a brave and aggressive person."
With his hands behind his back, he walked a few steps towards Lu Yu. Jin Keng looked at Lu Yu and said in a deep voice, "I am here, do you know what I am doing here?"
Lu Yu raised his eyes and said calmly: "The methods used by your studio are a little too despicable."
Jinkeng shouted hurriedly: "Hey...if you have something to say, please talk nicely, don't curse! We are a photo studio, we take money to do things, so what? So what? It's not shabby to do things for money! This is a legitimate business!"
Lu Yi sneered: "Including killing innocent women?"
Jinkeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly a few times: "It's just like a photo studio, they take money to kill people... This time, they did a little bit... Hehe, a little bit... But since the employer has made such a request, then we will take the money and do the job."
Jinkeng shrugged his shoulders and said softly, "Okay, let's not talk too much. I came here to see you because of the Ninth Princess's intention... After all, you are also involved in this matter and are one of the victims, so I will give you an answer."
