With a flash of white light, Zhao Hai appeared on a small transmission formation. As soon as Zhao Hai appeared on the transmission formation, he saw four monks standing next to it. The four monks weren't very old, the oldest one was less than 30 years old. Moreover, their cultivation was at the Qi Transformation stage. However, it can be seen that their Iron Buddha Lotus Body was pretty good. Each of them had dark skin. It seems like they had at least reached the second layer of the Iron Buddha Lotus Body.
When the monks saw Zhao Hai, they immediately bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother."
Zhao Hai quickly returned the greeting and said, "Amitabha. Greetings, Junior Brothers. Jing Hai greets you."
The oldest of the monks bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Senior Brother Jing Hai is too polite. Senior Brother, please come with me. We'll take a rest in the room."
Zhao Hai wasn't polite. He nodded and followed the monks into the temple's main hall. There was a Buddha statue in the main hall. Zhao Hai bowed to the Buddha statue before following the monks to the back of the main hall. This was where the monks usually rested.
After the group sat down in the meditation hall, a younger monk immediately brought tea and poured everyone a cup. Zhao Hai thanked him but didn't drink the tea. Instead, he looked at the oldest monk and said, "May I know Junior Brother's Buddhist name?"
The monk immediately replied, "Na Mu has seen Senior Brother Jing Hai. These three Junior Brothers are Na Yan, Na Li, and Na Fei. As for the Junior Brother who passed away, his Buddhist name is Na Guo."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "May I know where Junior Brother Na Guo's body is? Can I take a look? "
Na Mu replied, "Naturally. Senior Brother, please come with me." After he said that, Na Mu stood up and led Zhao Hai outside. Before long, they arrived at the back of the main hall. There were several meditation rooms at the back of the main hall. However, it was clear that these rooms were for people to live in. Na Mu didn't stop there. Instead, he led Zhao Hai to the back of the hall.
Before long, they arrived at the back of the meditation room. There were several rooms there, but they were clearly smaller and more dilapidated. It was clear that they were used to store miscellaneous items. Na Mu led Zhao Hai to one of the rooms. As he walked, he said, "Because we don't know when Junior Brother Na Guo was killed, we had to bring his body back. At the same time, we used a freezing talisman to suppress his body. I hope that Senior Brother can find something from his body and find the murderer as soon as possible."
Zhao Hai chanted Buddha's name and didn't say anything. Na Mu also opened the door to the room. The temperature inside the room was very low. In the middle of the room, there was a monk sitting cross-legged. However, his face was white and he wasn't breathing. It was clear that he was dead. However, he was still sitting cross-legged. His expression was serene, as if he was chanting scriptures with his eyes closed.
When Zhao Hai saw this, he couldn't help but stare. Na Mu said, "When Junior Brother Na Guo died, he was like this. Therefore, we left him in his original state. I hope that Senior Brother can see something."
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he slowly walked towards Na Guo. Na Guo's body didn't have any external injuries. His robes shouldn't have been changed. Otherwise, his body wouldn't be in this state. His clothes weren't messed up. It seems like he didn't fight with anyone. He just sat there to rest and would get up at any time.
Zhao Hai turned to Na Mu and said, "Junior Brother Na Guo's robes, did the other Junior Brothers tidy them up?"
Na Mu shook his head and said, "No, everything was the same as when Junior Brother Na Guo died. The only difference was that the location was changed. There were no traces of fighting at the place where Junior Brother Na Guo died. It's very strange."
Zhao Hai nodded. He carefully looked at Na Guo's body. Na Guo was sitting cross-legged with his right hand in front of his chest and his left hand holding prayer beads. As for his abdomen, it looked like a monk was chanting scriptures. There were no external injuries on his body, nor was there any signs of poisoning. This was very strange.
Zhao Hai frowned and carefully looked at Na Mu's body. However, he still couldn't find anything. This made Zhao Hai feel strange. Na Guo couldn't have died from an illness, right? This was almost impossible. Any cultivator who had cultivated would have a lifespan of at least two hundred years. Body cultivators, in particular, would have a lifespan of around two hundred and thirty years because of their strong bodies. It was even more impossible for them to get sick. Therefore, this possibility could be ruled out.
There were no external injuries on Na Guo's body, nor were there any signs of fighting. Could it be that there were internal injuries? After thinking about this, Zhao Hai waved his hand and a talisman appeared in his hand. Then Zhao Hai waved his hand and the talisman burned. As the talisman burned, the temperature in the room rose. The frost on Na Guo's body quickly melted.
Na Guo's body was still sitting upright, there was no sign of movement. Zhao Hai didn't continue. He knew that if a person died for a long time, a corpse would turn into a corpse.
Zhao Hai probed Na Guo's body with his spiritual force. However, he found that Na Guo's organs were intact. There were no internal injuries. This made Zhao Hai frown again.
Zhao Hai slowly stood up, then he turned to Na Mu and the others and said, "Junior Brother Na Mu, I didn't see anything. Please reseal Junior Brother Na Guo's body and send it back to the temple. I'll go to the city to take a look. Also, please don't leave the temple. Although the other party killed Junior Brother Na Guo, they didn't attack the temple. This means that they aren't very strong. It's impossible for them to deal with all of you at the same time. Therefore, even if you want to leave, it's best to move together to avoid any danger."
The others nodded. Then Zhao Hai left the room and went outside. This time, he didn't stay in the temple. Instead, he went straight to Rong City.
The temple wasn't far from Rong City, it was only about five li away. However, the temple was on top of a small hill. Because of this, the road was very quiet. Zhao Hai didn't walk very fast, it could even be said to be very slow. This was because while he was walking, he was paying attention to everything on the road. He wanted to see if there was anything different. He even started to communicate with the surrounding plants to see if they could give him any clues.
When Zhao Hai was about two li away from the temple, he stopped and looked at a large rock on the side of the road. This rock was very big, but the part that was exposed to the ground wasn't very big. Moreover, it was very smooth. It seems like someone often sat there to rest.
The reason why Zhao Hai paid attention to this rock was because it was the place where Na Guo's body was found. In other words, Na Guo died on this rock.
However, Zhao Hai got another piece of information from the surrounding plants. Before Na Guo died, he chatted with an old man sitting on this rock. Then the old man left while Na Guo sat on the rock, motionless. In other words, Na Guo's death had a lot to do with the old man.
Zhao Hai communicated with the surrounding plants and asked them to tell him what the old man looked like. However, when the trees told him what the old man looked like, Zhao Hai felt like he was looking at flowers in a fog. In the end, he had no choice but to walk into the forest and arrive at a relatively flat grassland. Then he lowered his head and looked at the grassland. Then he closed his eyes and placed one hand on a tree while the other hand touched the grass. Then his body emitted a green light and the grass in front of him slowly changed. Some of the grass fell down while some didn't. Slowly, a pattern appeared on the grass. This pattern was the portrait of an old man.
Zhao Hai retracted his hand and looked at the old man's portrait on the ground. The old man had thick hair and a beard. He looked like an ordinary old man, there was nothing special about him. If it weren't for the plants drawing the old man's face, Zhao Hai wouldn't have believed that this old man was Na Guo's murderer.
Zhao Hai memorized the old man's appearance. Then he waved his hand and the grass on the ground returned to their original appearance. Then Zhao Hai held his staff and slowly walked towards Rong City.
Zhao Hai didn't change his appearance. Therefore, his dark skin showed that he was from the Iron Buddha Temple. Because of this obvious mark, Zhao Hai didn't encounter any obstructions when he entered Rong City. The ordinary cultivators guarding the gate even gave Zhao Hai a salute.
Zhao Hai smoothly entered Rong City. Then he looked around the small city. This small city was very ordinary. The main street was where most of the city's businesses were concentrated. The rest of the place was filled with low houses. There was nothing to say about this place. It was no wonder that the Iron Buddha Temple only sent five Outer Disciples to this place. Zhao Hai looked at Zhao Hai and saw that Zhao Hai didn't have much to say.
Just as Zhao Hai was walking forward and looking around, a group of people suddenly came over. The leader of this group was a fat man. This person was very fat, but his clothes were very good. It seems like it was a Daoist robe. When the fat man saw Zhao Hai, he immediately welcomed him. With a face full of smiles, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Greetings Grandmaster. Is Grandmaster from the Iron Buddha Temple? Grandmaster, please follow me to the mansion to rest. "
Zhao Hai looked at the fat man. He already knew that the family in charge of Rong City was the Yi Clan. The current head of the Yi Clan was called Yi Yue. However, in the Iron Buddha Temple, everyone who knew Yi Yue would call him Yi Yue Ban. This was because he was very fat. Yue Ban was a fat man, so the people of the Iron Buddha Temple called him Yi Yue Ban.
This Yi Yue's cultivation talent was very poor. Even now, he was only at the fifth stage of the Qi Transformation Realm. He was only slightly better than the most ordinary people. However, this Yi Yue had a lot of children. Some of his sons were cultivating in the Iron Buddha Temple. One of his sons was an outer disciple, but he was currently in seclusion. The other sons were all janitor disciples. Their cultivation talent could only be considered average.
On the other hand, two of his daughters were sent to the Shuiyue Nunnery, which had a good relationship with the Iron Buddha Temple, to cultivate. It was said that the most talented daughter had now become a Junior Expert of the Qi Refining Realm and was very favored in the Shuiyue Nunnery.
