Chapter 223 The Prodigies Gather
Hearing Hui Jue’s wailing voice, Xie Yuan froze in place for at least three breaths.
...What kind of weird thing is this monk?
Xie Yuan's face darkened and he said in a deep voice:
"What are you doing?"
Hui Jue looked innocent:
“Didn’t you thank the donor for letting me scream?”
“When did I ask you to scream?”
Xie Yuan squeezed it with his fist Rattling sound.
“Didn’t you just say that no one knows about it? I thought it would be a shame to thank the benefactor, so I helped the benefactor make his name famous. Recently, a grand event in Jinling was held, and countless warriors came to thank the benefactor. Don’t you have such interest? Hey, thanks to the donor, his strength is so extraordinary that he is even better than the young monk. The young monk is willing to be inferior, so he must let others know.”
Hui Jue looked at Xie Yuan with a strange expression, as if he was the one with the problem. However, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, obviously unable to suppress the true thoughts in his heart.
Xie Yuan was speechless. This damn bald donkey didn’t feel very convinced that he had lost. He was clearly seeking revenge!
How come the Zen sect in Prajna Temple has a successor with such a character? Aren't you afraid of going to hell?
He gave the innocent Hui Jue a hard look and took a sip:
"Someone is coming soon. As you are cunning, I will let you go today!"
Not to mention his status as a wanted criminal, even if he had just foiled the plan of the Yao Qian family in Wuhe, they must have remembered it. If traces were revealed now, I'm afraid the consequences would be unpredictable.
After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and directly used his body skills, preparing to leave from the alley and merge into the flow of people.
As a result, he had just run a few steps when he felt the wind behind him, turned his head subconsciously, and then fell into silence.
After a while, Xie Yuan stood still and frowned:
"Why are you following me?"
Huijue said with a smile on his face:
"Thank you, donor. You just won. Didn't you say you want to ask the young monk a question? Since it is inconvenient here, the young monk has no choice but to follow you."
Xie Yuan frowned, not believing that he was so honest.
If I take him with me, I just feel that this bald head is like a powder keg around me, and I don’t know when it will explode.
Xie Yuan chuckled:
"Master Huijue is so trustworthy? Forget it, let's say goodbye today, but we will meet again next time."
Xie Yuan took a deep look at him, then raised his spirits and made light of his body. The little inner breath left in the operation accelerated again.
As a result, he took two steps and found that Hui Jue had also accelerated with it. He had no intention of leaving at all. His face darkened and he suddenly stood still. He looked at the side next to him and rushed out two steps without controlling his inertia. The monk stopped in a hurry and said seriously:
"Master Huijue, it seems that you have to compete with me today?"
He had already vaguely felt someone coming from the other direction. If he gets entangled with Huijue again, wait here. Experts from the government and aristocratic families are surrounding me, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to escape!
Seeing Xie Yuan's disagreement, he directly raised the ax and even started to gather strength. Huijue looked stunned and waved his hands repeatedly:
"Thank you, donor, why are you so hot...stop, stop, stop! The little monk is I’m really willing to admit defeat. Let’s find a place to talk first.”
After that, Huijue walked forward honestly and got into the smaller alley next to it.
Xie Yuan frowned and did not take back the axe. He only hesitated for a moment and then followed Hui Jue forward.
Shortly after the two left, a swift shadow suddenly rushed over from the alley and stood at the door of the small temple, revealing his figure. It was Yao Qinglai, the foreign affairs elder of the Yao family.
He quickly scanned the surroundings, then looked to the side and stepped into the temple. But the small temple is not big, just an ordinary old monk. Yao Qing came and walked around for a while, but found nothing.
He stepped out of the temple, and several more masters from the Yao family came to the alley. They were all in the second and third changes of qi and blood. There was also a man wearing a police robe and a standard robe on his waist. The head catcher of the sword is actually the chief catcher of Jinling Mansion, also named Yao.
A few people looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating that no one was around.
Yao Qinglai frowned and said:
“Did that sound really come from Hui Jue, the disciple of Master Zhiling?”
The head catcher pondered for a moment and said:
"The sound was made with the roar of a lion in Buddhism. It has pure internal energy and is orthodox in Buddhism."
He did not say whether it was wisdom or not. After all, no one around here can be sure.
After hearing this, several people nodded silently, but no one had seen Huijue. They just frowned and said:
"For the time being, I think it is Monk Huijue from Prajna Temple. Then what he said... …Xie Yuan, is that Xie Yuan?”
The few people made eye contact for a while, and naturally they knew which Xie Yuan was.
It was not Xie Yuan who was well known to them because of Qian Long Bang, but because of Wu He's incident.
These Yao family members are quite powerful, and their status in the family is not low, at least they are above deacons.
Therefore, most of the Yao family members have been discussing recently that Yao Zhizhang, who was the county magistrate in Wuhe, was beheaded by Xie Yuan and left a message arrogantly. Most of the Yao family members are aware of it.
The family elders were furious and went to war over this, asking everyone outside the Yao family to pay attention to Yunzhou Xie Yuan. If they found anything, they would report it immediately and send people to arrest them. They lost their temper and made many people They were all as silent as cicadas.
Well-informed people vaguely heard that it was not just that Yao Zhizhang was killed; it was said that what was more serious was that all the family arrangements there were destroyed.
Although not everyone among them knows the specific business of the family in Wuhe, it is conceivable that the family reacted like this. Things there must not be simple, but they were completely destroyed by Xie Yuan.
Coupled with the fact that Xie Yuan subsequently appeared on the Qianlong List, they remembered this name more clearly.
As an elder of foreign affairs, Yao Qinglai knows this matter best. He nodded silently and said in a deep voice:
"If that Xie Yuan comes to Jinling, according to the wishes of the Presbyterian Council, he must not be let go."
The other people nodded silently, and a captain of the law enforcement team frowned nervously and said slowly:
"But...that Huijue is the true successor of Master Zhiling of Prajna Temple and the third disciple on the Tianlong Ranking. As a result, he He said that he is no match for Xie Yuan..."
The few people looked at each other, their eyes a little shocked.
Even aristocratic families will respect the great master's reputation.
Master Zhiling has been a great master for nearly a hundred years, and many people have grown up hearing about his deeds of conquering demons.
The disciple of such a top martial artist in the world and the direct descendant of Prajna Temple, it is not necessary to think about what kind of talent and strength he has.
I heard that Huijue entered the Bodhi Courtyard at a young age. Such profound Buddhist teachings are equivalent to strength and potential for Buddhist warriors.
There are only a few people in the Yao family who are in the Second Transformation Realm. They think that they cannot be their opponents when they meet Hui Jue. Even the other three Transformation Realms will not ignore the disciples of the great master. , even if the cultivation level is one level higher.
But does this world's top genius warrior claim that he cannot defeat Xie Yuan?
Then Xie Yuan... what is his strength?
Several people looked at each other, looking a little shocked and a little cautious.
One person said slowly:
"If this is true, and you want us to catch Xie Yuan, I'm afraid..."
He didn't finish his words, But the meaning is obvious.
Another person echoed:
"Perhaps, we still have to ask the clan's grand masters and elders to take the lead."
The head catcher's face darkened and he scolded:
"You haven't even met yet, so you want to gain other people's ambition like this?" It’s unclear whether Huijue’s words are true or not, let alone whether this statement is true!”
“What if it’s true? With just a few of us, can we really catch him?”< br>
Another person asked without giving in.
"So what if it's true? But a second transformation of Qi and Blood can still turn the world upside down!"
The catcher snorted heavily:
"Just like this, we have to work hard for the master and elders, too. Don’t be afraid of punishment from above! The master doesn’t move lightly!”
Everyone was silent.
In the Eight Sect Rebellion, the Yao family suffered the most heavy losses. Many masters died, and they have not recovered over the years.
Therefore, the Yao family formed alliances and made good friends everywhere, and managed to maintain the situation by relying on their foundation. Unfortunately, if they want to support such a large force, the remaining few masters are still not enough, and they can only rely on the name of the thousand-year-old family to survive.
If there was such a person who dared to break into Jinling when the Yao family was at its peak, the master would definitely come out to arrest him. But in the current Yao family, whether the grandmaster is incapable of doing anything or is afraid of being killed, there has always been a rule of "the grandmaster does not move lightly". Most things are done by these strong men in the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation. Do. Relying on the prestige of the Yao family, it is basically enough.
But this time is obviously an exception. If what that sentence said is true, then there is no guarantee that Xie Yuan and the others can catch it, especially those who have great cultivation, but their strength is not necessarily that strong, at least they will definitely not be stronger than Prajna Temple. The descendants of the Yao family felt a little uneasy.
It’s okay if you don’t encounter it. If you encounter it, will you go up or not?
No, if you disobey the orders of the Presbyterian Council, it will not be easy to explain; but if you do...
Then Xie Yuan can defeat Hui Jue, so why beat him with a pinch of salt... Or is Hui Jue actually a parallel importer?
Forget it, believe that the Grand Master of Tian Long Bang accepts parallel apprentices, it is better to believe that they can defeat Xie Yuan if they break out on their own...
When Yao Qing came to see several people, they were all yelled at by Hui Jue. The soldiers were so distraught that they had different thoughts and said with a solemn expression:
< br>"Regardless of whether this Huijue is true or false, or what the reason is, it is very possible for Xie Yuan to appear in Jinling. After all, he clearly refused to deal with us in Yunzhou, so it is not a surprise to find trouble again. .”
The head catcher snorted:
"This kid is arrogant. When he comes to Jinling, he has thrown himself into a trap!"
Yao Qinglai nodded slowly and glanced at everyone:
"This is Jinling, the ancestral land of our Yao family. Do you still need to be afraid of a boy with a foreign surname? He's talented, but he's just on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and he's just a Qi-Blood Second Transformer. Now that he's here, we must not let him go!
"Pass my order, all law enforcement teams will cancel their vacations, and the entire city will be under martial law. Watch each other's communications and make sure not to miss any corner! ”
A few people looked serious, knowing that they were serious about it.
The catcher said slowly:
"Then the government..."
"It is to ensure the smooth holding of the Little Qianlong Club, and also to assist the government in catching wanted criminals. You put it The power of Jinling Mansion also moved Get up."
A cold light flashed in Yao Qinglai's eyes:
"You dare to come to Jinling Mansion. Don't leave until I lay a trap."
< br>
After the few people reached an agreement, they searched around unwillingly for a while. Naturally, they found nothing, so they had to leave in a hurry.
Not long after the Yao family left, a young Taoist priest in civilian clothes and mango shoes suddenly appeared in the alley.
He looked left and right, staring at the door of the small temple for a long time, tossing the copper coins in his hand, and his eyes gradually brightened.
However, he cheered for a while, and took out a piece of bloody rag. His face suddenly became serious, and his brows were knitted into the Chinese character "Chuan":
"Let's put aside the matter of finding someone to discuss with. There are so many monsters and demons in the world!”
...
Xie Yuan didn't know how much the Yao family reacted after Huijue exposed him with a howl.
But he could imagine that he must have been stared at, and he couldn't help but stare at Hui Jue's back in front of him with an unkind look.
This guy looked as strong as a King Kong just now, and now he is fair and white, the kind that can make the daughter of the king fall in love... Damn, this bald head is so mean and eye-catching, I really want to Punch him and smash him!
The two of them walked around for a long time, almost reaching the other side of Jinling Mansion. They left the alley far away before stopping in a secluded place.
Xie Yuan had already exhausted a lot of energy, and this whole run almost made him, a second-transformation warrior, out of breath. Seeing that Hui Jue finally stopped, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He sighed twice and asked Huijue:
"Monk, why did you stop here? Do you have to run so far?"
The old god Huijue is here Said:
“Actually, no need, I just want to see how much energy Master Xie has left.”
Creak——
Xie Yuan clenched his fists and strode towards Hui Jue:
“You will know soon.”
“Stop! Thank you. Donor, a gentleman talks but does not take action. Peace is the most precious thing!"
Hui Jue waved his hands and dodged back, looking like a coward like Tang Monk.
All he has to do is speak harshly... If Xie Yuan had never seen the golden body of Arhat, he would probably think so.
Even now, Xie Yuan is not sure how much strength Hui Jue still has. After all, looking at him without blushing or out of breath after walking for so long, he seems to be in better condition than himself... It was obviously not the case at first. .
Xie Yuan looked a little cautious, and saw Hui Jue glance at him, and suddenly said:
"The golden light of the immortal golden bell is immortal, and the qi and blood are immortal. As long as the person is not dead, The power has not been broken. At this moment, the young monk has recovered a lot."
Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes:
"Do you know what I'm thinking? Can you still understand other people's minds?"
Huijue looked strange:
"Thank you, donor. I feel like you believe in the five supernatural powers more than me? How is that possible? You have the ability to know other people's thoughts, but I can guess it just by looking at your expression! That's it. Hey, sometimes I feel that the donor has a lot of wisdom and can join my Buddhist sect; sometimes I feel that you are too stupid to be a handyman in Prajna Temple, so let it go."
Xie Yuan was silent for a long time. In the past, I had become somewhat accustomed to the monk's bad breath.
However, this immortal golden bell is indeed the top external training method in the world. Not only does it have amazing defensive power in operation, but its characteristics and effects are also really powerful. The quality of the blood energy it produces is probably not ordinary. This can be seen by just looking at the golden body Arhat Dharma that can support Huijue to use it, which obviously does not belong to his own realm.
But now that Huijue had recovered, Xie Yuan silently held the ax tightly and stared at the naughty and mysterious monk intently.
Hui Jue looked at Xie Yuan's movements and declared the Buddha's name:
"Amitabha! Thank you, don't be nervous. Monks don't lie. I am willing to admit defeat. I will not fight again today."
There will be no more fighting today...
Xie Yuan muttered silently, and then asked:
"Then Master Huijue can answer my questions?"
"It's okay to ask."
Huijue put his palms together and smiled, like a senior monk waiting to answer his doubts.
Xie Yuan took a slight breath, put aside other thoughts, and asked first:
"What exactly happened about the murder of Wang Zhiyi, the steward of the Jianzong Courtyard?"
Huijue kept his smile unchanged and said softly:
"Instead of listening to me, it is better to see it yourself."
"Go and see it yourself?"
Xie Yuan He frowned slightly, a little confused. What is the motive behind this monk?
Huijue did not answer, but looked at the tall courtyard wall next to it.
Xie Yuan looked around and realized that the courtyard wall was particularly tall. It was obviously the residence of a wealthy family. In the distance, several guards poked their heads in and saw that the two of them had been staying in the alley for a long time, and seemed to be coming to chase them away.
It looks familiar... Is it Duke Ning's Mansion?
Just as the guard was about to come over, the two of them left the alley and turned to the side.
Xie Yuan frowned and asked:
“You mean, it’s related to Ning Guogong?”
"The young monk didn't say that. But didn't you want to see the donor before thanking him?"
Huijue said with a smile.
Xie Yuan was already not surprised that Huijue seemed to know everything. He was too lazy to think about it and just nodded:
"It's a pity that he stayed behind closed doors. I don't know why."
< br>Ning Guogong is a member of the imperial court. Logically speaking, whether it is for the purpose of avoiding the alliance between the sect and the aristocratic family, or because the Sword Sect has always had a harmonious relationship with the imperial court, this should not be the case.
"In this case, the young monk can just lead the benefactor to see him."
Huijue said this.
Xie Yuan raised his brows:
"Do you have any idea?"
"Ning Guogong has been very pious to my Buddha in recent years."
>
Huijue smiled lightly.
Oh?
Xie Yuan glanced at Hui Jue and felt that his smile was a little different from before. It had an indescribable meaning and seemed to have a touch of ridicule.
He pondered for a moment, nodded, then changed his clothes in a secluded place, and followed Huijue:
"Master Huijue, let's go."
"You are now..."
"The nameless little sect you met on the road."
It is impossible for Xie Yuan to go to see Duke Ning Guo without revealing the truth, he is still a wanted criminal; It was impossible to transform into Zhang Shan. After all, Hui Jue had just howled, and most of the Jinling Mansion heard him fighting with him. If Zhang Shan and him appeared at the same time, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Just have a one-time identity, follow the monk, and throw it away after use.
Hui Jue took Xie Yuan to the gate of Duke Ning's Mansion and saluted the two guards with their hands together:
"Two benefactors, please go to Prajna Temple Huijue again and ask to see Ning Guogong."
When the two guards heard the name of Prajna Temple, they were immediately in awe, and one of them hurriedly went in to pass the message.
After a while, a majestic old man with fierce eyes and a Chinese robe rushed out with his shoes on. When he saw Huijue, he was surprised and happy, with a smile on his face:
"Oh, Master Huijue, you are finally here!"
Xie Yuan lowered his eyebrows, glanced at the shoes dragging on his feet calmly, and muttered:
"Isn't this Mr. Ning Guo practicing in seclusion? When I heard that Hui Jue came to visit, I was more excited than anything else. He actually behaved like this..."
It can be seen that he is really devout to Buddhism.
Hui Jue bowed slightly:
"The young monk has met the Duke of the State. The Duke of the State has sent letters to the temple several times before and donated a lot of incense. Master specially asked me to come and thank you this time. Lord Duke.”
Ning Guogong looked surprised:
"Master Zhiling still cares about me? Hahaha, it's such an honor for me! Oh, look at me, I'm such an old fool, I actually neglected you at the door! Master Huijue, please come in quickly!"
After speaking, Ning Guogong personally led the way and welcomed Hui Jue in. He also glanced at Xie Yuan and saw that he was Hui Jue's companion. He nodded kindly and his attitude was extremely kind. He was not a high-ranking Duke, but He is like an old man next door.
But not long ago, this kind old man ignored Xie Yuan and other members of the Sword Sect for a few days before saying goodbye.
Xie Yuan followed Hui Jue and Ning Guogong to a large study room. Among the study rooms Xie Yuan had ever seen, it was second only to the large study room where Li Xingtuo was going to perform martial arts at that time.
This study room is luxuriously decorated, and the screens and vases are all famous products. They are very elegant and reveal the style of the Duke's mansion.
Duke Ning Guo was so enthusiastic that he invited Hui Jue to take a seat. He sat next to him and asked someone to bring a small stool to Xie Yuan. He also asked people to serve fruits and snacks, all of which were delicious. He also made tribute tea. The fragrance is all over the room.
Xie Yuan silently took in Ning Guogong's enthusiasm and felt a bit strange. Now that I have opened my eyes, although the status of Prajna Temple is high, can it be as high as this? Even if he is a direct disciple of the great master, he will not let a prince lower his profile like this. He himself is also a martial arts master who has been famous for many years!
After Huijue and Ning Guogong sat down, Ning Guogong began to ask for Buddhist teachings with a pious look. Xie Yuan had no idea about this, and felt that the questions he asked were a bit profound and unpredictable. However, Hui Jue looked calm and smiled, and answered Ning Guogong's questions one by one without haste.
Looking at Ning Guogong's expression of sudden enlightenment, although Xie Yuan only knew a little about it, he felt that Hui Jue must have really explained it to him. The young eminent monk of Bodhi Court should not have gained his fame in vain.
His temperament is definitely not what he looks like now...
The two of them discussed Buddhism for a long time. Huijue paused for a while, took a sip of tea, and then said:
"Your Excellency, I have seen that Jinling Mansion has been very busy recently, but has something big happened?"
The gray-haired Princess Ningguo made tea for Huijue and said with a smile:
"Master Huijue is an outsider and does not know these common things in Jinling Mansion. Recently is the annual Little Qianlong Club in Jinling Mansion. Young heroes from all over the world come to the mansion to compete in the ring. Competing for ranking. Oh, of course these heroes cannot compare with the master. Although Master Huijue is young, his mastery of Buddhism is beyond the reach of young people."
Halfway through his words, he began to praise Huijue again. But judging from his words, he was quite proud of the Little Qianlong Club.
Huijue nodded, as if suddenly enlightened:
"It turns out to be the Xiao Qianlong Society. I have heard of it in the temple. It is just a practice of worshiping Buddha every day. I don't know the year. No. Thinking of such a coincidence, the grand event will be held in the near future. "
Pretend, keep pretending...
Xie Yuan cursed, this monk obviously knows everything.
Ning Guogong laughed and said:
"Since it is a coincidence, Master Huijue wants to join in the fun? I have arranged a good guest of honor seat for you, so you can have an unobstructed view of the arena."
Hui Jue shook his head:
"The young monk likes to be quiet and doesn't like fists and kicks, so I thank you for your kindness."
Ning Guogong slapped his thigh and said in shame:
"Look at me...I have forgotten that Master Buddha has a deep heart and does not value these worldly things. Alas, I still don't practice enough, I don't practice enough!"
Huijue shook his head repeatedly:
"Ning Guogong has great wisdom. , The heart of worshiping the Buddha is extremely sincere, and the master has praised it highly, so there is no need to belittle oneself!"
Ning Guogong was very happy and said:
"Master Huijue, did your respected master really say that to me? ”
"Monks don't lie."
Huijue said with a sincere face.
Yes, it seems that Master Zhiling doesn’t know who Ning Guogong is at all...
Xie Yuan saw Ning Guogong laughing so hard that he couldn’t close his mouth, and silently sighed that if it weren’t for Hui Jue’s cultivation There was no way he could fake it, and everyone suspected that he was a charlatan.
Huijue looked at Ning Guogong quietly and smiled for a while, pronounced the name of Buddha, clasped his palms together and said:
"Your Excellency, the young monk heard something about Jinling Mansion recently and was a little curious."
"Oh? Master Huijue, it's okay to ask. As long as it's something about Jinling Mansion, there is nothing that the Duke of Jinling doesn't know about. ! Definitely help Master Huijue solve the problem."
Ning Guogong’s heroic spirit.
Hui Jue had an innocent look on his face:
“The young monk heard that the steward of the Jinling Branch of the Yunshan Sword Sect died recently. The name of the Yunshan Sword Sect is like thunder, and the young monk often hears about it in the temple. , especially their disciples are said to have sharp swordsmanship, which even the junior monks have longed for, haha. But how could such a big sect leader suddenly die?"
When Ning Guogong heard that Huijue actually asked about this matter, his eyes flashed slightly and he said with an unmoving expression:
"This matter has actually reached the ears of Master Huijue? Hey, I also have friendship with Wang Zhiyi , I didn’t expect him to pass away suddenly, which is regrettable.”
“Oh? Since I knew him. "Guanshi Wang, do you know who killed him?"
Ning Guogong shook his head:
"I don't know the specific details. Wang Zhiyi has many friends and complicated relationships, and the Yunshan Sword Sect has risen rapidly. , I don’t know how many people have been offended, it’s hard to tell who is responsible.”
Completely different from the heroic Qianyun just now, Ning Guogong was confused about all the questions in an instant, and... he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
If the lie was exposed on the spot and Master Huijue failed to satisfy him, there should be a trace of shame and hesitation, instead of being so decisive...
Xie Yuan had a clear understanding and silently looked at it for himself With.
Hui Jue nodded understandingly, and said with an innocent and curious expression:
"This is the first time for the young monk to come down the mountain. He has heard about many love and feuds in the world... Haha, he is still practicing Buddhism. In place, there is always curiosity. I heard that Jinling belongs to the Yao family, so will this king be in charge..."
Ning Guogong sat back, shook his head and said:
"I really don't know about this, and I have never heard of any discord between the Yao family and the Yunshan Sword Sect."
Hui Jue nodded. Nodding, he calmly changed the topic and started talking about Buddhism with Ning Guogong.
Ning Guogong's interest obviously increased again. He and Huijue discussed Buddhist works with an excited look on their faces, quoting scriptures, and it was obvious that they had learned a lot.
Huijue answered Ning Guogong’s questions very patiently. From the beginning until now, there was no pause. Now even if Xie Yuan is not familiar with Buddhist teachings, it can be seen that Huijue is indeed somewhat sincere in this regard. This thing, in terms of Buddhism alone, can bear the title of master.
He entered Bodhi Monastery at such a young age and was called a master. Could it be that this monk really has wisdom?
Xie Yuan was very impressed when he saw Huijue, and his face was full of reverence. He looked at the sky and put his palms together:
"Amitabha! Today I discussed Buddhism with the Duke. It was very interesting. The young monk also gained a lot of insights."
Ning Guogong sighed:< br>
"Huijue I have benefited a lot from the Master’s profound teachings. I have ordered the kitchen to prepare a meal and asked you to stay here for a while. Sleep!”
Hui Jue declined politely:
"Your Majesty the Duke is interested, but fasting is not necessary. The monk has been bothering me for a long time, so it's time to leave."
Ning Guogong was shocked and said repeatedly:< br>
"Master Huijue, you will never be extravagant with your fast, so please give me a favor."
Huijue said with a firm look:
"Master gave me money and always asked me not to accept food from others. There are already many incense from believers in the temple, how can I come back to beg for food?"
When Ning Guogong saw that he had moved out Master Zhiling, he had to give up.
He escorted Huijue and Xie Yuan all the way to the gate of the Duke's Mansion, opening his mouth several times along the way. Xie Yuan saw it, and Huijue saw it, but he pretended not to see it, and was a little curious.
Finally, when Ning Guogong saw that he was almost at the door, he finally couldn't help but whispered:
"Master Huijue, I wonder if you have the letter I sent to Zhiling Divine Monk before? Replied? ”
Hearing the words, Huijue turned around, clasped his hands and said loudly:
"Amitabha, Ning Guogong wants to escape into Buddhism, worship under my master, and become brothers with the young monk, so he is sincere. It's just our temple. The rules for accepting disciples are strict, but Master has no intention of doing so."
After hearing this, Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.
Ning Guogong wants to take Master Zhiling as his teacher?
He subconsciously looked over and saw many attendants and guards around him. Their bodies froze and strange expressions appeared on their faces.
And Ning Guogong's whole body was as if he were petrified. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, his face turned red and he said:
"Oh, so...Master Huijue, please go slowly."
>Ning Guogong, who had always treated Huijue with great courtesy, became anxious. To Xie Yuan's ears, this slow pace clearly meant that he should get out quickly.
Xie Yuan was amused in his heart. This monk must have been loud on purpose, so that others could not recognize his true face.
Hui Jue put a pure smile on her face, clasped her palms together, and said goodbye to Ning Guogong at the door. Then she and Xie Yuan left unhurriedly and merged into the crowd.
"Thank you, donor. What do you think?"
Huijue said lightly.
Am I Cheng Yuanfang? Why did this monk take me to investigate the case...
Xie Yuan slandered, pondered for a moment, and became a little serious:
“This Ning Guogong is a little weird.”
"Thank you, donor, what you are saying is nonsense."
Xie Yuan's face heated up, he glared at the foul-mouthed monk, and then said hesitantly:
"He... doesn't even look like that. Sent by the imperial court to look after the family. "
Whether he was proud of the Little Qianlong Club or he was helping the Yao family to speak, Ning Guogong's attitude was a bit strange.
Although the relationship between the Prince of Yunshan County and the Yunshan Sword Sect is good, and they often go to the mountains to cool off, if something happens to them, they will never behave like one of their own - the Yunshan Sword Sect is still very respectful to the court. With cooperation.
Huijue nodded lightly:
"The Buddha's words are true, this Jinling Mansion is like ouroboros."
Xie Yuan saw that he was back to his old ways, curled his lips, and then if there was What he was thinking:
“You mean, the forces in Jinling Mansion are all one?”
“That’s good, I thank the benefactor for not being stupid enough.”
Xie Yuan ignored Hui Jue's words and said in confusion:
"But Ning Guogong has been knighted for three generations, has been favored by the emperor, and is clearly a die-hard imperialist, how could he..."
Hui Jue smiled and asked:
“Thank you, donor, what do you think of Duke Ning Guo treating me?”
Xie Yuan shook his head and said:
"As an honored guest, I am very respectful."
"Then thank the almsgiver, do you think this young monk is worthy?"
Xie Yuan glanced at him and told the truth:
"Not worthy."
Seeing Huijue's smile, he nodded and said:
"So, he is asking for something from you... he wants to worship in Prajna Temple?"
Xie Yuan's face looked a little strange.
Huijue sighed lightly:
"Wanting to worship in my temple is just a means. What he really wants is my master's practice method."
"For the sake of A higher realm? ”
Xie Yuan mused that if a warrior has a bottleneck, he will indeed try his best to break through.
Huijue showed a slightly sarcastic smile again:
"If so, he can be regarded as a great master."
"No? What is that for..."
Xie Yuan frowned slightly.
"Thank you, donor. How many years do you think Ning Guogong has left to live?"
Huijue asked abruptly.
Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment:
"Huh? He is a martial arts master. I remember he is not very old. It stands to reason that he can still live..."
Speaking of Here, he suddenly paused.
When I met Ning Guogong today, I saw that although he was in good spirits and full of vigor, as a martial arts master, his hair could not hide his gray hair and he looked depressed. Logically speaking, only warriors with declining blood energy would have this phenomenon...
Seeing his reaction, Hui Jue nodded slightly:
"Ning Guo Gong was seriously injured when he was young, and the injury was to the point where he was fundamentally injured. , Although he has achieved a breakthrough as a master, the root of his disease has fallen into place and has been getting worse in recent years.
“My master has been a grand master for nearly a hundred years and is still at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. This is not only the uniqueness of the grand master, but also the reason for my temple’s martial arts. Therefore, Ning Guogong could not be treated. He had written several times and said many words of "piety". ”
After hearing this, Xie Yuan suddenly realized that he understood Ning Guogong’s attitude towards Huijue.
It turned out that he was seeking the secret to immortality, so he should pretend to be a grandson. I just saw that he had a deep understanding of Buddhism, so I thought he was really pious, but in the end he just put in real effort.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan's thoughts changed and he said attentively:
"So, he secretly betrayed the royal family and colluded with the aristocratic family, which is also..."
"Not bad."
Hui Jue looked indifferent.
"Aristocratic families still have such a method?"
Xie Yuan said inexplicably, but he soon felt it was normal. What kind of secret skills does a thousand-year-old family have?
Hui Jue looked at Xie Yuan and said with a half-smile but not a smile:
“Haven’t you seen the donor Xie before?”
“What do you mean?”
Xie Yuan frowned.
The monk was really annoyed when he was playing riddles, but he really knew a lot, so Xie Yuan had to be patient.
Hui Jue looked into the distance and said faintly:
"Thank you, donor, why did you come to track down the family?"
"Because in Yunzhou, I... …”
When Xie Yuan said this, his words suddenly stopped.
He suddenly looked at Huijue and said in a deep voice:
"You mean, those people..."
"Some of them."
Huijue sighed.
Xie Yuan's fists gradually clenched. Is this why he went to the border states to rob people?
In order to extend the life of the master of the aristocratic family?
What evil method is this?
Xie Yuan thought that what the family mastered was taking bait and swallowing pills, refining the essence of heaven and earth, and thus extending life. But we need to rely on other people...what else can we do? And there is no need to say what happened to these people after they were "used"... Just looking at the layout of the aristocratic families in Wuhe, you can know their attitudes.
Xie Yuan frowned tightly:
"Which family is it? Or are all eight families involved? Is this the reason for the death of Manager Wang? Who is the murderer?"
Seeing that Xie Yuan was a little excited, Hui Jue sighed:
"Thank you, donor. The young monk does not really have the five supernatural powers of the Buddha. He only knows these because he is related to our temple and you, the donor. No matter how much inside information you have, , Not to mention the little monk, even my master may not be able to hear everything."
After hearing this, Xie Yuan calmed down a little, looked at Hui Jue with a compassionate face, and felt something in his heart:
"Master Huijue, why did you come to me? What did you mean by those words you said when we were sparring with each other?"
Huijue pronounced the Buddha's name and lowered his eyes slightly:
"Thank you, donor. The young monk is a Buddhist novice and a practitioner of martial arts. I dare not say that I will save all sentient beings in this life, but how can I bear the evil spirits running rampant and the common people Suffering? After accidentally discovering what happened behind this Jiangnan family, the young monk knew that Xie the donor also had a chivalrous heart, so he came to find you to find the truth together."
After hearing this, Xie Yuan looked at Huijue and fell into deep thought.
Although what he said is reasonable, I still feel that what he said is not the whole truth...
But no matter what, at least in the first half of the sentence, Xie Yuan can feel that this bad monk is From the heart.
Although the ghost monk was full of nonsense and couldn't tell the truth in ten sentences, Xie Yuan could somehow sense his joke and sincerity. Maybe he didn't really want to lie.
Xie Yuan nodded slowly:
"Master Huijue is compassionate, I understand. So what do you think should be done next?"
Huijue Shuang Putting palms together, with a smile on his face:
"As the old saying goes, two people can't count, three can't count, so we need to wait for one more person to act together."
...Isn’t that what the old saying seems to say?
Xie Yuan shook his head and did not care about it. He just said curiously:
"Who else are you waiting for to go with us? Do you have any companions here?"
"Amitabha, if you can On the same road, who is not a companion? Thanks to the donor, why bother? "
Hui Jue just didn't answer with an incomprehensible smile.
Xie Yuan's eyelids twitched and he clenched his fists again. The tacit feeling of understanding that had just arisen inexplicably disappeared.
He followed Hui Jue and stood in an inconspicuous place on the long street, silently looking at Ning Guogong's mansion, not knowing what he was waiting for.
Suddenly, in the distance, a young Taoist priest with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes strode to the door of the Duke's Mansion, said a few words to the guard, and after a while someone welcomed him in.
But not long after, the Taoist priest was "invited" out and looked quite embarrassed.
He stood at the door of the Duke's Mansion, pointing at the door and cursing angrily, and all the passers-by looked at him sideways.
But the strange thing is that although the guards of the Duke's Mansion looked embarrassed, no one went up to touch him and just turned a deaf ear.
Hui Jue, who was listening in the distance, showed a playful smile and said with a smile:
"The person we are waiting for is here."
Xie Yuan's expression moved, But Huijue motioned for him to find the Taoist priest.
Xie Yuan was confused. He didn’t even know who that person was or what he was doing. Did he just go up and ask if he wanted to join the family?
"Thank you, donor, just say this..."
Hui Jue whispered a few words, and Xie Yuan had a strange look on his face and stepped forward with hesitation.
The young Taoist priest was frowning and cursing the Duke's government in the street, when he suddenly felt a light tap on his shoulder.
He was suddenly startled, turned his head instantly, and saw an ordinary young man.
Who is this person? With such an ordinary appearance, how could he approach me silently?
Xie Yuan looked at the young Taoist priest, coughed lightly, and said:
"Taoist priest, if you want to know the truth, come with me."
Seeing the Taoist priest's pupils shrink, he seemed inexplicable. Facing a formidable enemy, Xie Yuan thought silently:
"So this is what it feels like to be the Riddler...not bad."
