Chapter 241 A Lie That's Easily Exposed
"High monks? Is it you? Are you telling the truth? The master was killed by this big tiger?"
The middle-aged man who was leading Mu Cheng's group saw the monk stumbling towards them and quickly helped him up, then asked incredulously.
Because the monks' robes were destroyed in the previous battle, the clothes they are wearing now were provided by Kangcheng.
Therefore, from a distance, Mu Cheng did not recognize it.
They rushed up to him, saw the ordination scar on his head and the familiar face, and immediately recognized him!
Upon seeing this, the other two monks looked at each other in shock, opening their mouths but not knowing what to do.
Clearly, that was the monk's own idea, without even consulting the other two.
Meanwhile, Cang Nian, seeing this, simply lay down comfortably on the ground and watched him put on a show.
Aside from exercising, I was quite bored along the way, so having a clown to cheer me up was nice.
"You bald monk! So you were up to no good! We didn't know before if the big tiger would let you off the hook, but now that you've played these tricks, you're definitely dead!"
Bai Jue, standing to the side, was stunned by the monk's actions and then cursed loudly.
"Look, they not only killed the abbot, but they also want to kill me!"
The abbot was so pitiful; he was betrayed and murdered by those transvestites!
The monk who had hidden among the people of Mucheng immediately turned the tables and accused them of being pitiful.
"What exactly is going on? You say you're from Kangcheng, so give us an explanation!"
Why did you kill the master? And why are you all living peacefully alongside the tiger that killed him?
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man shielded the monk behind him and said coldly.
The other people from Mucheng, seeing this, immediately looked at Kangcheng and his group with hostile expressions.
The monks of Chanlan Temple had left such a deep impression on Mucheng that they believed the monk's lies without any thought.
"Because of the master you speak of, he wants to kill us, so we must kill him."
As for why we live in peace with the mountain god, it's because it's friendly to humans and has been kind to our city of Kang.
Upon seeing this, Qin Changyi was taken aback for a moment, then spoke frankly.
That monk was being far too presumptuous.
Even if he tries to distort the truth first, Qin Changyi has plenty of ways to expose his lies.
"How could that be? The master is a living Buddha. Without him, countless people in Mucheng would be starving to death by now!"
Why would he kill you on purpose? You must have done something evil, and the master is punishing the wicked!
"Yes, yes! How could the master be wrong! He has never killed a single person, so why would he kill you for no reason?"
"You bastards, you killed the master and still dare to come to Mu City? You're asking for death!"
Before the middle-aged man could even speak, the surrounding Mu City residents erupted in uproar, angrily accusing him.
"The master you speak of might have been a 'living Buddha' in the past."
But after he came to your city of Mu, he had already fallen into the demonic path.
The swarm of insects that nearly starved hundreds of thousands of you was driven to your city by him.
Their aim is to step forward as a savior, gain your gratitude, and reap your offerings.
You've all been fooled by him.
Qin Changyi sighed.
"Impossible! How could a master be that kind of person! You're lying!"
"Exactly! That swarm of insects was so terrifying, how could it possibly be driven by human power?"
"What harvesting incense offerings? All this nonsense! I think you've really been controlled by that big tiger; you've lost all reason!"
Upon hearing Qin Changyi's words, the people of Mucheng roared angrily.
They couldn't believe that the master who had rescued them from their dire situation was a bad person!
Seeing that the people of Mucheng around him were all protecting him, the monk was overjoyed.
He knew that although the team from Kangcheng consisted of only a few people and a few evolved creatures, it was definitely not something that Mucheng could resist.
But he was gambling!
He's betting that the Cannes people won't dare to provoke a violent conflict between the two sides!
He had no choice but to gamble.
He knew very well that he was essentially in cahoots with the mad abbot, and had done all sorts of evil things, both right and wrong.
Therefore, the Cannes residents who know the truth will not let them go, and neither will the big tiger who knows the truth!
The reason they weren't killed now is simply to activate the Dharma gate of the Chanlan Temple's Buddhist treasures!
Once they brought Cangnian to Chanlan Temple, death awaited them!
Therefore, whether he can survive depends entirely on whether Cangnian will have reservations about the protection he receives from the people of Mucheng. It's something that can't be predicted at all, but he has no choice but to gamble.
If you gamble, you still have a chance to live!
If you don't gamble, you're doomed!
He dared not discuss it with the other two monks in advance, because they were constantly being monitored while being guarded by Cangnian's family and while traveling with Kangcheng's group, and they had no opportunity to communicate.
Even knowing that Cang Nian's family was asleep, he dared not try.
If discovered, they will be killed on the spot!
Only by reaching Mucheng could they find a glimmer of hope!
“You’ve been brainwashed by them. You won’t believe anything I say.”
I'll just say two things, and you can verify them yourselves.
First, separate the remaining two monks, along with the ones from your side, and ask them what happened to them during the time they left Mu City.
If the general match is correct, it means what he said is true; if it doesn't match, it's obviously false.
Secondly, go to the vicinity of their residence and look for anything unusual.
As for the conclusion, I'll tell you after you've found it and come back.
Seeing the crowd's excited state, Qin Changyi remained calm and presented his points clearly and logically.
Seeing Qin Changyi's confident demeanor, the middle-aged man in the lead became somewhat suspicious.
Then, he took a closer look at Qin Changyi's appearance, and his pupils suddenly contracted a few seconds later!
"You...you're Qin Changyi, the one who cracked the major poaching case?"
The middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise.
"Ahem, this is all thanks to my little nephew and the mountain god beside me."
You must be the deputy mayor of Mucheng, right? What is your surname?
Qin Changyi awkwardly touched the tip of his nose and then asked.
He was just a squad leader before, and he might not even know all the high-ranking officials in Kangcheng, let alone those in the neighboring city.
"I am Liao Yongchun, the deputy mayor of Mucheng City. Since Director Qin said so, then this matter is indeed questionable."
Xiao Zhao, go to where the master and the others used to live and see if there's anything unusual. Check carefully and come back to report to me as soon as possible!
Knowing that Qin Changyi held an official position, Liao Yongchun quickly gave instructions.
Seeing this, Cang Nian nodded in agreement.
Although officials may not be good people, their words can still carry some weight at times.
Upon witnessing this development, the monk hiding among the people of Mucheng turned deathly pale.
He had already figured out Qin Changyi's purpose in doing this!
"Mayor! Mayor! I've finished my inspection! There really is something unusual!"
After waiting a moment, Xiao Zhao ran back quickly, panting and shouting as he ran.
"Don't tell me what you've discovered yet, let me guess."
Qin Changyi, on the other hand, extended his finger and lightly tapped Xiao Zhao from a distance, interrupting his report that was about to come out.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be several places in that courtyard where the ground has been turned over by something."
And there were some loose bone fragments left, right?
Qin Changyi said with absolute certainty.
"How...how did you know? What is that?"
Xiao Zhao was immediately startled and asked in confusion.
“Those are the corpses of their fellow disciples, killed by the master you speak of.”
Qin Changyi pointed to the monk behind Liao Yongchun and shook his head.
