My Lady Is Not A Demon

Jingxinguo is about the size of a baby's fist, transparent and shiny under the sunlight, as if it were carved from jadeite.

And the skin is covered with a layer of purple-red, as if painted on by paint.

so similar!

It was exactly the same fruit that the girl Lu ate.

"Little Master!"

Chen Mu stopped the young novice monk, raised the fruit in his hand, pretending to be curious, and asked, "Is this pure soul fruit available elsewhere? It's delicious, I plan to buy some home to eat."

"Donor, this is unique to our monastery."

The little novice was proud.

Chen Mu expressed doubts: "It's just a fruit. Why can only your temples be able to grow them, but not elsewhere?"

Seeing Chen Mu's unbelief, the little novice was suddenly a little angry.

Pointing to the back mountain, he said, "This pure soul fruit is only available in our temple. There are only four trees in total. They are planted in the place where Grandpa Moliu passed away."

Hosted by Mount Coriander?

Chen Mu has heard of this name, he is the first generation host of Hanwu Temple, and Dharma is quite high.

The young novice monk continued: "The Master said that because there are four sammon fruits left by the grandfather of the ancestor, the pure soul fruit will be produced. It is impossible to grow it in other places."

"So that's a shame."

Chen Mu smiled and nodded.

After watching the little novice enter the house, Chen Mu's smile gradually disappeared.

"It's kind of interesting, the main mission hasn't got a clue yet, but the side missions have progressed."

...

Came to the back mountain of Hanwu Temple.

A large swath of verdant trees came into Chen Mu's sight.

The entire forest is laid out in the shape of a ‘back’. There is an old old house inside.

This old house is completely enclosed, and strangers are not allowed to approach it.

From a stone Buddha sitting cross-legged outside, it can be guessed that this was the house where the first presiding officer of Hanwu Temple lived in the past.

On the first floor at the corner of the house, there is a path paved with cobblestones.

Chen Mu walked through the dark path and finally found four fruit trees that were out of place in the dense forest after several twists and turns.

There are many pure soul fruits on the tree.

The huge umbrella-like canopy stands tall in the sky. The dense branches and leaves are swaying with the wind. It looks like a bell that makes no sound.

Chen Mu plucked a fruit and examined it carefully.

"If this fruit is only found in Hanwu Temple, then the girl Lu at the time is most likely here instead of Wushan..."

Chen Mu's eyes floated, and his brain moved rapidly.

Why is she lying?

Or... she was taken here by others, mistakenly thinking that she was still in Wushan, and there was a memory bias?

Chen Mu held the fruit tightly and began to look around.

Soon he found a tree hole that had been excavated under a majestic old tree with seven or eight people surrounded by more than 20 meters away.

The tree hole is small, less than two square meters.

The surrounding area was covered by dense foliage, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to find such a place unless Chen Mu deliberately searched it carefully.

Chen Mu climbed into the tree hole.

A burst of coolness hit the whole body, quite comfortable.

Until he found a pearl earring through the grass, all guesses were confirmed!

That Lu Miss was here, not Wushan!

"According to the girl's account, she and the maid met the snake demon in Wushan, and then fell into a coma on the way to escape. After waking up, she found herself in a tree hole...thinking that she was still in Wushan..."

Chen Mu thought, crawling out of the tree hole.

According to the girl's statement, proceed with the scene deduction step by step.

Based on the situation at the time, she should be standing next to the outermost fruit tree.

She heard a voice on the way to eat the fruit.

Then she looked back and saw a man rushing towards her, so she turned around in fright and ran away. After a few steps, she stomped on the air...

"By the way, it must be here!"

Looking at the cliff suddenly appeared in front of him, Chen Mu looked excited.

To be precise, this is not a cliff.

The two low mountains are adjacent to each other with a stone bridge in the middle. There is a crack less than two meters wide on both sides, and about 30 meters deep down is a rapid river.

There are tangled trees on both sides of the crack.

At this moment, Chen Mu had basically restored the truth of the matter in his mind.

Miss Lu didn't lie, she just had a deviation in her memory.

At that time, the two of them, the master and servant, did go to Wushan, and perhaps they actually saw the snake monster, and she passed out in a coma on the way to escape.

As for how she was in a coma, this is a question mark for now.

But what is certain is that there must be someone else in Oshan at that time.

He (she) took the unconscious Miss Lu to the Hanwu Temple and hid it in a tree cave. The purpose is not yet clear.

Unexpectedly, Miss Lu woke up after he (she) left.

The time to wake up should be around five or six in the morning.

The reason why Chen Mu has a rough guess about time is because of two points.

First, Miss Lu said that she didn't see the man's face clearly at the time, and it can be judged that the sky was still a little dark at that time.

After all, there is skin tissue between her nails, which means that the other party has already rushed forward.

This is not clear, a bit unreasonable.

Second, if you fall from this cliff, it will take about three to four hours to float to the bank of the Huailan River at the current drifting speed.

It is exactly in line with the direction and time of the water flow!

So the whole thing should be like this:

At about five or six in the morning, Miss Lu woke up and found herself in a tree hole, mistakenly thinking that she had been rescued by the maid and was still in Wushan.

After that, she was too hungry and crawled out of the tree hole to find food and found the fruit tree.

She was discovered on the way to eat fruit-it is most likely that she was discovered by the monk who came to the back mountain to do early work in Hanwu Temple.

When the monk saw Miss Lu, he might be surprised, perhaps because he mistakenly thought that the other party was a thief who stole fruit, and wanted to arrest her.

The frightened girl Lu turned and ran away.

Because the sky was too dark, coupled with the unfamiliar geographical environment, accidentally stepped on the air and fell off the cracked cliff on the way to escape.

At the moment of falling, she must have caught the monk's arm.

That's why there is the other person's skin tissue in the nail.

After falling off the cliff, Miss Lu hit the branches on both sides and accidentally injured her throat bone.

At that time, because Miss Lu ran away while eating fruit, she was in the stage of swallowing, and her throat was contused after being hit, causing the food to get stuck in the respiratory tract.

Then the branch valve that fell on the water fainted, suffocating and causing suspended animation... and floated to the bank of the Huailan River.

Everyone knows the rest of the situation.

"The general situation should be like this. The question now is, who was the monk who discovered her at that time?"

Chen Mu tapped his fingers on one side of his thigh.

Up to now, Hanwu Temple is peaceful and peaceful, and no one seems to know that there was a ‘life’ here this morning.

It means that the monk has never mentioned it to anyone.

Choose to conceal.

But why choose to conceal it?

Is it because of fear?

Whether he was thinking of catching a thief at the time, or if he got upset and caused Miss Lu to fall off the cliff, he was considered a ‘murderer’.

In Buddhism, creating killing karma is a very bad thing.

It makes sense to choose to conceal.

"It seems that we must first find a way to find out the monk who'manslaughtered' Miss Lu." Chen Mu groped his chin, thinking secretly.

"Who are you and what are you doing here!!"

Just as Chen Mu was preparing to act, a man's voice full of anger suddenly sounded.
