Chapter 61 Chasing the murderer at night; being poisoned by a strange poison!
"Was Elder Longchuan attacked by someone?"
came the voice.
Lin Xuan's heart suddenly trembled.
I couldn't help but look up at the roof again.
Just now... was there really someone there?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan rushed out of the house immediately.
He jumped up and climbed onto the wall.
His "Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Statues Body Techniques" has been practiced to the level of Vajra Power, and his body techniques are successful.
Climbing over eaves and running on walls are as easy as walking on flat ground.
As soon as he came to the rooftop, he saw a gray-robed figure in the distance, leaping horizontally and vertically on the roof tiles. In a few breaths, only a blurry silhouette was left.
Without saying a word, Lin Xuan kicked his feet and chased after him like an arrow:
"Who is this person?"
"Why did you plot against Elder Longchuan?"
"Could it be someone sent by the Black Fox King?"
At this moment, Lin Xuan was full of doubts.
"Brother!"
His departure made Xiaolong and Xiaohu below very anxious.
They also want to chase the murderer.
But I’m not skilled enough.
The courtyard wall was several feet high and there was no way to jump over it.
It took several tries before I succeeded.
But alas, Lin Xuan and that man had long disappeared.
Looking at the empty rooftops in the night, Xiaolong had to give up the idea and said to Xiaohu:
"Come on, Xiaohu, we don't have to chase."
"That man has disappeared."
"I have to practice Qinggong when I get back, otherwise I won't be able to catch up with the people chasing me."
"Harmful!"
Xiaohu sighed softly.
I feel like I've missed the opportunity to catch the murderer.
Bang!
Bang!
The two jumped down and walked straight towards the Bodhi Temple:
"Let's go, let's quickly check on Elder Longchuan's condition."
……
……
the other side.
Lin Xuan was still chasing the man in gray robe.
However, this person's lightness skills were extraordinary. He seemed to realize that someone was chasing him, so he ran even faster.
After a while, Lin Xuan saw the palace in front of him and thought to himself that something was wrong:
"not good!"
"In front is the Heavenly King Hall, and after the Heavenly King Hall is the temple gate."
"Once we let him pass through the temple gate, he will definitely escape, and it will be difficult to catch him!"
however.
The next moment, the man suddenly changed direction. Instead of going through the Heavenly King Hall, he went around and went directly to the Arhat Hall.
"This……"
Lin Xuan was stunned.
Just as he was frowning, a purple figure jumped up from below without any warning.
"Xiaolan!"
Looking at that person, Lin Xuan was indeed a little surprised.
On second thought, she seemed to have practiced the "Ruying Mi Huai Leg" some time ago, and she felt relieved.
"Xiaolan has good physical skills. She can burst into leaps and jumps in a short period of time. She should be more powerful than me."
"But in terms of endurance, the "Shadow-like Legs" is not as good as the "Nine Figures and Six Sitting Statue Body Movements"..."
Seeing that Xiaolan was closer than him, Lin secretly compared them.
call out!
call out!
call out!
Suddenly, several sounds of breaking through the air were heard.
Several willow-leaf-shaped flying knives, emitting cold light in the night, shot towards the two people behind him.
It was the man in gray robe who realized that he could not get rid of the two men, so he hurriedly launched three hidden weapons.
It was at this moment.
Lin Xuan discovered that the man seemed to be wearing a string of crimson purple beads on his wrist.
"Xiaolan, be careful!"
The flying knife is like a shuttle, coming in an instant.
Lin Xuan raised his head and lowered his waist, dodging the knife.
Since Hua Xiaolan was closer, the remaining two knives were almost all aimed at her.
Xiaolan twisted her slender waist and used the move of a spirited snake to avoid the knife in her chest.
But the remaining knife was aimed at the calf.
In a hurry, Xiaolan put her toes together and used the true energy in her legs to catch the flying knife!
at the same time.
Lin Xuan and Xiao Lan were blocked by the flying knife and slowed down for a few seconds. They could only watch the man jump off the temple gate and escape!
"Xiaolan, are you okay?" Lin Xuan jumped over, looked at Xiaolan and asked.
"It's okay, Brother. It's a pity that he escaped. I didn't expect that he could use hidden weapons..."
Xiaolan shook her head, a hint of heroism flashing across her face.
"Don't be so reckless next time."
Seeing that Xiaolan was fine, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaolan twitched her toes, picked up the flying knife, held it in her hand, pondered for a while, and asked:
"Brother, who do you think that person is, and why did he want to harm Elder Longchuan?"
"Could it be that they were sent by the Black Fox King?"
Lin Xuan shook his head:
"not sure."
"But I haven't heard Master mention that Elder Longchuan has any enemies..."
He thought about it and jumped down:
"Let's go and see Elder Longchuan first."
"You can give this flying knife to the master. He has a lot of experience and may be able to recognize it."
The words fell.
Xiaolan hurriedly followed.
……
……
Bodhi Courtyard.
A simple bedroom.
Elder Longchuan was lying on the bed, his face pale, his eye bags dark, the redness on his face fading.
When Elder Wen Dao learned that Elder Long Chuan had been attacked, he rushed over immediately.
Elder Longchuan had no injuries on his body, but it was certain that he had been poisoned.
But what kind of poison was it?
Elder Wen Dao couldn't find out the answer for a while.
"Elder Longchuan, did you eat or drink anything tonight?"
Zhang Dong, who came with Elder Wendao, asked the two young monks who were serving Elder Longchuan.
"I brought dinner from the kitchen, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"However, the elder drank a cup of tea before meditating."
The two little monks thought about it and answered.
"Bring me that cup of tea."
Zhang Dong thought the tea was suspicious.
Not long after, Abbot Sanzang also arrived.
He took a look at Elder Longchuan's condition and felt that the situation was very bad.
"Elder Wen Dao, have you found out what kind of poison he was poisoned by?"
Abbot Sanzang frowned and asked.
"No." Elder Wen Dao shook his head helplessly.
Then, he said:
"But I have already asked someone to call Monk Mo."
"He is best at making antidote pills, so he should be able to recognize what kind of poison this is."
At this moment, Zhang Dong took the cup and said to Elder Wen Dao:
"Master, this is the cup of tea that Elder Longchuan drank before he was killed."
"Bring it to me and take a look."
Elder Wen Dao stared at the cup of tea with a fixed gaze.
After taking it, he first smelled it, then took out a silver needle and tried it, but still had no clue.
inside the room.
Xiaolong, Xiaohu and others felt depressed when they saw that Elder Wendao was at a loss.
It's over now!
Is Elder Longchuan really going to die?
Soon, Lin Xuan and Xiaolan arrived here.
As soon as he entered the room, Lin Xuan noticed that the atmosphere here was not right.
It's so depressing.
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat after taking another look at Elder Wen Dao, who had a worried look on his face, and Abbot Sanzang, who had a slightly gloomy expression.
It seems that Elder Longchuan’s situation is more dangerous than he had previously thought!
"master!"
"My disciple and I went after the murderer, but we didn't catch up. This is the hidden weapon that man left behind."
Xiaolan came up to Abbot Sanzang, took out the flying knife, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Kid, it's not your fault."
Abbot Sanzang gave a comforting voice.
As he spoke, he took the flying knife, observed it for a few seconds, and then asked Elder Wen Dao who was standing beside him:
"Elder Wen Dao, do you think this flying knife is poisonous?"
