Chapter 188 A Quiet Little Crisis
After morning prayers and breakfast, Fu Qingzhou was going to go to the martial arts field with all the lay disciples. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the dining hall, Fa Jing was the first one to stick to him. .
"Hey, Junior Brother Zhou Qing."
The smile on his face is no longer as reserved and arrogant as in the past, but full of flattery: "Can you tell me, Senior Brother, are you How did you get involved with Senior Brother Fanu? "
Fu Qingzhou turned around - not only were the lay disciples following him, but also the monks who taught him Fajing.
At this time, their eyes were all full of envy and awe when they looked at him.
From the time he climbed up to Fa Nu, the place in his temple was no longer limited to lay disciples, but was already vaguely higher than many monks who had become monks.
"It's nothing, it's just a bit of fate."
He smiled at Fajing: "No matter what, Brother Fajing, you were the first one to help me when I entered the temple. I will never forget the one who taught me Kung Fu.”
These words were very helpful to Fa Jing. He patted his belly and laughed, his expression even more enthusiastic.
The two of them were arm-in-arm, chatting and laughing, with a group of younger brothers following behind them, like two club bosses.
When he arrived at the martial arts field, Fu Qingzhou was about to practice martial arts with his sword in hand, but was pulled back by Fa Jing.
"Brother, you have to learn the sword from Brother Fanu every day now, so you have to save some energy."
He smiled and said: "What's more, the little things we have practiced are not good for you, brother. It’s not that far away.”
As soon as he heard this, Fu Qingzhou knew that this guy had something else to say, and he laughed: “It’s easy to talk, let’s... take a walk?”
"Take a walk." Fa Jing nodded with a smile.
In the martial arts arena, a group of disciples were practicing their martial arts, while the two of them strolled around the edge of the arena.
"Senior Brother, do you have something to ask me for?"
Fu Qingzhou asked straight to the point: "What about Senior Brother Fanu?"
"Hey, brother you? This is looking down on me, senior brother." Fa Jing waved his hands and said: "You have already said that you will never forget me, senior brother. How can I still shamelessly ask for your help? I believe that you will rise to great heights in the temple in the future... Hehe. , when the time comes, you will be indispensable for the benefits of senior brother.”
Fu Qingzhou burst out laughing.
After laughing, he asked: "Then what's the important matter for Senior Brother Fajing?"
"Well... you shouldn't know about this."
Fajing narrowed his eyes and said: "But Brother Zhou Qing, now that you have the protection of Brother Fanu, it is almost certain that you will become a monk and enter the temple. Now that you have trained the lay disciples to be obedient, I will do this." I’d better explain it to you.”
After considering his words, he asked, “Do you still remember Brother Fahai?”
"How could you not remember?"
Fu Qingzhou smiled bitterly and said: "I carried him all this way, but I didn't know his name until I came to the temple."
"About The temple has also investigated something about Brother Fahai’s death in the past few days.”
Fa Jing turned his head and looked into his eyes and said, “Want to hear it?”
Fu Qingzhou. He scratched his head in confusion: "What, the murderer was found? The temple is going to take revenge?"
"What kind of revenge?"
Fa Jing smiled helplessly: "Brother Fa Hai, he has offended someone who shouldn't be offended!"
Fu Qingzhou said "ah": "This "What do you mean?"
"Have you ever wondered why we closed the temple?" Fajing asked with a sideways look.
Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "How do I know? You monks, Taoist priests, etc. are all weird. How do I know what you are going to do."
"Haha, it's not that complicated. To put it bluntly, it's just some disputes between rivers and lakes."
Fa Jing shook his head and said: "Someone is eyeing us. Senior brother Fa Hai is here to settle things, and he wanted to kill him quietly. After we died, we didn’t expect someone to kill us. Now the other party knows that we are seeking revenge and is coming to cause trouble for us.”
Of course Fu Qingzhou had already guessed it.
In the past, when the Purple Air Immortal Wind Temple was offended, Fanyin Temple had to ask Jin Chan Temple to apologize to Master Baihe, and also found someone to be the scapegoat. As a result, the apology letter had not yet covered the heat, and Dharma anger returned. He attacked Qiu Chan... He just attacked Qiu Chan, and he also got into trouble with Hua Wuying.
Behind Hua Wuying is the Martial Arts Alliance... These guys have probably been left unattended for too long, and they have a big backer behind them. They are doing evil things unscrupulously in all parts of Dayan, and they don't have any sense of propriety in doing things. None.
Anyone who has a sense of crisis knows that they really should curl up, but for them, closing the temple seems to be just a cover, and they actually dare to go out to kill people, and provoke a purple air fairy. Provoking the Wulin Alliance again...
Fu Qingzhou really wanted to light three incense sticks for them.
"So?"
Facing Fa Jing, he was still the same Zhou Qing who didn't understand anything, with a confused face: "Brother, why are you telling me this? ?”
"Hehe, to put it bluntly, we don't have the ability to fight these enemies to death for the time being."
Fa Jing smiled and said: "Abbot Yuanwu, as well as the two master uncles Yuanxi and Yuanjing, they have to retreat recently. Once you practice magical skills, those enemies will no longer be a threat, but before that, we must have a way to deal with the enemies."
"This way of dealing with it... is to apologize."
Fu Qingzhou understood as soon as he heard it.
He suddenly realized: "You want to hand over the body of Senior Brother Fahai?"
"Senior Brother Fa Hai, we must hand over."
Fa Jing nodded and said: "But we have to hand over some more people."
Fu Qingzhou was shocked: "Living people?"
"Of course they are alive...but when handed over, it doesn't matter whether they are alive or not."
Fa Jing's smile was a little sinister: "You have to know this."
Fu Qingzhou rolled his eyes and lowered his voice: "But there are only so many people in our temple. If we hand over a few more people, how can we encounter enemies in the future?"
"Junior Brother Zhou Qing is so smart... "Fa Jing narrowed his eyes and said: "One sentence hits the point - there are not many talents in the temple, and those who can become a monk are elites, so of course those who are handed over must be..."
" Lay disciple!" Fu Qingzhou took the words and said it clearly.
Fa Jing laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, as long as a lay disciple shaves his head, who will know he is a lay disciple?"
Fu Qingzhou's eyes widened: "There are all the candidates. Decided? ”
"Originally, after today's morning prayer, it was up to me, senior brother, to make the decision." Fajing grinned: "Don't be afraid to tell me that you came from the closed monastery and brought the body of senior brother Fahai with you. Even the abbot has confirmed that you are not suspicious. , but your origin is unknown, it is better to hand you over than to keep you... Your cultivation level is also higher and more convincing than other lay disciples..."
Fu Qingzhou's eyes widened, and there was a hint of confusion. A feeling of numbness in the scalp.
"...Fortunately, Brother Fanu is willing to protect you."
Fajing smiled very harmoniously: "You don't have to be the scapegoat anymore."
After arriving at Fanyin Temple, Fu Qingzhou's palms became sweaty for the first time.
He is not afraid of crises, and even if he is faced with Abbot Yuanwu's illusion skills, he doesn't feel there is anything scary.
But... without even realizing it, someone had already arranged his life and death!
He didn’t dare to think about what would have happened today if he hadn’t dealt with Fa Wrath last night?
Could he have been poisoned to death while eating breakfast?
What if you were called into the Buddhist hall by the abbot with nice words, but the other party broke out with murderous intent without saying a word?
Seeing the cold sweat on Fu Qingzhou's forehead, Fa Jing patted him on the shoulder again: "Okay, don't be afraid. Now that I've told you this, you are safe."
Fu Qingzhou shouted. After taking a breath, he asked in a low voice: "Then who will be the scapegoat in the end?"
"It doesn't matter."
Fa Jing smiled at him: "This matter has been decided, you Don’t worry about it - I’m telling you because now you are their boss, and if one of them is missing, you have to know why.”
Fu Qingzhou’s pupils shrank and he looked sideways at the martial arts field.
The number of people in the field has obviously decreased by one.
The yellow dog who was so frightened by him that he peed his pants has disappeared without knowing it.
At the same time, Fa Jing's laughter came from behind: "That boy still has resentment towards you. He came to me last night to report that you quietly left the disciple's room and did something unknown. This is also The reason why I wanted to hand you over...but now, I can only sacrifice him."
