Chapter 974 The master passed away
No matter how strong the maintenance capabilities of the royalist secret base are, they will definitely not be able to leave the port in the past few days.
Seeing that nothing happened, Li Chengqi turned to look at Yang Yiyi on the monitor next to him.
It was just after noon on his side, and the morning sunshine was just right on Yang Yiyi's side.
Since the abbot of Jingci Temple is meditating in seclusion, the matter of hand-delivering the letter will have to wait until someone else comes out. Fortunately, there is no rush, and it is said that it will only last for these two days.
Yang Yiyi got up in the morning and first practiced the Feidu Acupuncture technique she just learned from Taohuawu. As for the objects to practice...
When Wu Shaoyi opens his eyes every morning, his legs are inserted like a hedgehog.
Yang Yiyi learned this in order to identify acupuncture points and exercise the precise application of internal strength. While Wu Shaoyi was the training object, he could also treat his legs, a win-win situation.
It will take a long time for Wu Shaoyi's legs to recover. When he left Taohuawu, Xing Muqing specifically asked him to use acupuncture on the acupuncture points regularly and apply ointment for two hours after acupuncture.
Before leaving, Xing Muqing also wrote a prescription. The medicinal materials used were not rare and exotic, but were easily found in medicine halls. All he had to do was take the prescription and let the clerk in the shop make it into an ointment.
After pinning Wu Shaoyi's legs into a hedgehog shape, Yang Yiyi began to practice boxing regularly every day.
As mentioned before, Yang Yiyi has trouble practicing Tai Chi. She prefers the steady and hard Baji Quan.
However, strong punches will hurt the body. It is not obvious now because Yang Yiyi is still young and has a strong physique. When she gets older, all kinds of problems will come to her door.
Therefore, the Rejuvenation Heart Technique and Feidu Acupuncture can also help Yang Yiyi maintain her health and avoid these problems.
Moreover, the set of CDs given by Li Chengqi contained not only Tai Chi and Ba Chi Quan, but also a complete set of Ba Duan Jin.
There is a saying that the radio gymnastics practiced by students today evolved from Baduanjin. I don’t know whether it is true or not, but Baduanjin is a set of kung fu that has good health-preserving properties.
Yang Yiyi now plays two sets of Ba Duan Jin every morning in the morning, which not only keeps her fit but also warms up, and then she starts practicing other kung fu exercises.
As the last set of Phoenix Three was finished with a nod, Yang Yiyi touched the beads of sweat on her forehead, picked up the cool teapot and poured it into her mouth.
And every time at this time, as long as you put down the teapot, you will see a group of half-grown men lying on the wall with very envious expressions.
This group of underage boys all had their heads shaved neatly. They were orphans adopted from Jingci Temple, and they were all lay disciples.
I don't know if she plans to learn secretly, but every time Yang Yiyi practices, she will lie on the wall and watch.
Anyway, you are not afraid of being watched. The moves themselves are not important. What is important is the method of transporting energy. You cannot learn it just by watching. If you don't have a master to teach you, you have to learn it bit by bit.
Over time, Yang Yiyi didn't care much about people climbing over the wall to learn from her.
"Sister, can you teach me your boxing skills? I'll treat you to chicken legs."
Among these young bald men, the most conspicuous one is Jingkong. From time to time, he can be seen running around the temple carrying a roasted hare and pheasant.
"Instead of learning from me, you should practice the skills taught by master."
"But Master always tells us to squat on horseback and practice the Shabu Shabu Kung Fu, which are all basic skills. It's so boring."
"But it's because basic skills are important. Sister, I have been squatting on horseback for ten years."
You must start practicing martial arts from a young age, otherwise you won't be able to do many moves when you grow up.
But children will definitely want to learn other cool-looking kung fu besides squatting.
This Jingci Temple's kung fu is not weak at all. He is very good at internal strength, sticks and kicks. After all, he is from a well-known and upright sect, so his kung fu is quite good.
It’s just that kids don’t quite understand.
Yang Yiyi was about to explain the importance of basic skills when she heard a child climbing on the wall whisper:
"It's broken! Senior brother is here, run!"
The group of young bald heads immediately dispersed. Not long after, a young monk walked into the small courtyard of the side room with an expression of 'Wait until I come back to take care of you'. When he looked at Yang Yiyi, he put on a smile.
"Two donors, Uncle Xuanbei, please come over."
"But the host master is out of retirement?"
"Exactly."
Yang Yiyi is waiting for Master Xuanbei, the abbot of Jingci Temple, to leave seclusion. After delivering the letter, she can set off for Lingyun Temple. So I simply packed up and quickly followed the monk.
After walking through the main hall, not long after walking, I saw many monks gathering in one direction.
At first, Yang Yiyi said to herself that the host was quite famous and so many people greeted him when he came out, but as he walked, he felt something was not right.
This group of monks gathered together, not like they were welcoming the host out of seclusion, but they felt panicked.
The monk who led Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi was also a little confused, but when he saw the other monks panicking, he also had a vague premonition of something bad and unconsciously speeded up his pace.
We followed the gathered monks to the back hill of Jingci Temple. There are some natural grottoes here that have been simply transformed and used for retreat by the monks in the temple.
Nearing here, Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi faintly heard a burst of crying.
It's not an illusion, it's really not good.
Speeding up their pace, the two of them passed through the crowd and saw a group of eminent monks from Jingci Temple gathered together. From time to time, they clasped their hands around the Amitabha Buddha there.
Seeing Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi arriving, Master Xuanbei took two steps back to greet them.
"Master Xuanbei, this is..."
"The poor monk originally wanted to invite the two heroines to welcome the senior brother out of seclusion, but he didn't expect, alas..."
Master Xuanbei shook his head and said:
"Senior brother has passed away in Guanzhong."
"ah?"
What kind of Zen are you practicing?
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?
Speaking of which, the abbot of Jingci Temple will die sooner or later, so why should he die at this time? Is there anything strange about it?
"We saw that Senior Brother Shi Chen didn't come out, so we opened the door to check and found that Senior Brother had passed away for a long time."
At this time, the shocked Yang Yiyi immediately felt Yu Gui shake in her arms. She immediately understood what Li Chengqi meant and asked in a low voice:
"Why so sudden?"
Yang Yiyi's words were rather vague, meaning there might be other factors.
Master Xuanbei understood and responded:
"Birth, old age, illness and death are inevitable. Senior brother has no external injuries or signs of poisoning."
In other words, it was a natural death, not homicide.
It was normal for Li Chengqi to suspect that someone was up to something. After all, Anxiangtang had tried to sneak into Taohuawu before, but was blocked by Plum Blossom Guards.
But then I thought about it, this Jingci Temple is not comparable to Taohuawu, and the host does not have the three-legged cat skills like Xing Muqing. If Anxiangtang had the ability to assassinate the host, then Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi would not be able to reach Jingci Temple without being killed halfway. Get rid of it.
However, Li Chengqi still felt uneasy and wanted to see the host's body. There should be clues when he right-clicked on the character panel.
But the body probably hasn't been transported out yet. A bunch of people are still blocking the entrance of the cave, and they can't see what's going on inside.
At this moment, the welcoming monk who was supposed to be at the door suddenly ran in.
He still didn't know about the host's death, so he was a little surprised why so many people gathered in the back mountain.
But there must be something urgent, so he quickly ran to Master Xuanbei and whispered a few words.
Yang Yiyi clearly saw a trace of surprise flash across Master Xuanbei's calm face.
"Please ask the pilgrims to go back quickly and be prepared to welcome them."
What do you mean, the host is gone, what else can we welcome?
What an awesome guest this must be.
Then Yang Yiyi heard Master Xuanbei say to others:
"Princess Mingzhu is about to arrive at the temple gate, please follow me to greet her."
Oh, you are indeed a distinguished guest.
