Chapter 36: Suffering

Li Yi's face was extremely ugly, he covered his chest and sat on the ground, closed his eyes and ran the exercises to treat the internal injuries suffered by the impact of Fang Cai's qi machine. The iron-masked Daoist waved his hand, and Changqing Sanren and the two Dao Tong obediently withdrew, and he himself sat cross-legged not far from Li Yi to protect the Dharma.

And so it is a day. At about two o'clock in the morning, Li Yi suddenly spurted out a mouthful of purple-black blood, and then let out a long breath of turbidity, and slowly opened his eyes. He was hit by a very self-explanatory qi machine, and now his internal injuries are only half-healed. But he also got quite a benefit - although he had never broken through to the eighth rank, he had already glimpsed the wonderful scenery over there.

The iron-faced Taoist handed Li Yi a silk handkerchief, and said with regret: "If you can have one or two good medicines to help, you will definitely be able to break through the realm and advance to the next level." โ€

Li Yi took the handkerchief in his hand, wiped a handful of bloodshot from the corner of his mouth, smashed the handkerchief ball in his hand with his true qi into crumbs, and said with a smile: "I have already lost a lot by borrowing the momentum, and if I borrow the power of medicine, I will be even more inferior." Uncle Iron Mask, I know that you can't bear to be urged by my master to practice every day, but I still want to advance to the next level. โ€

The Tie Mian Dao man didn't say much, and just as he wanted to go out to deliver food to Li Yi, he heard a rumbling sound not far away. The two looked at each other, and suddenly Li Yi exclaimed: "Not good! It must be that the hill behind the Pure Glass Nunnery has collapsed! โ€

He felt remorseful in his heart, if he hadn't collided with the Great Momentum's Qi Machine, the small mountain bag might not have collapsed under the ravages of the storm. As soon as his body moved, Li Yi flew out like a puff of smoke. He didn't realize that the Iron Mask Daoist stepped out earlier than him, but he stopped abruptly.

When Li Yi arrived at the Qingjing Liuli Nunnery, he once saw that the hill where Zong Zhengke and Master Huiyi looked down at Xiaohuawu was gone, and was replaced by a rolling mudslide that was carried by the mountain torrent.

As for the wall of the Liulian against the hill, it has already been mixed with the mudslide, and the rocks and bricks of the mountain swirl in the flood, and the beasts of the mountain seem to be roaring towards the hermitage, and its momentum is unstoppable.

With his excellent vision at night, and with the light of lightning that swept across the sky from time to time, Li Yi saw that there was chaos in the nunnery.

A rare and tranquil bamboo forest has been washed away, houses have been flooded by mudslides nearly a quarter of the height, and roads are not visible. He couldn't tell where it was the Qingxiu Buddha Hall of the three girls of Zongzheng that he had broken into, so he could only grope around to find it.

Thankfully, Liuli'an is a small place, and Li Yi soon found a semi-collapsed Buddhist hall that was exceptionally quiet in a large number of crying fathers and mothers.

Kicking his feet against the wooden door, which had been largely hidden by the mudslide, he shot in and saw a girl in a cloak kneeling motionlessly on a futon with her back to him, muttering a verse. Through the faint light of a bean lamp in the room, he recognized that this was the third girl of the Zongzheng family.

The soft and soft chanting sound is particularly clear in this chaotic night. Li Yi chuckled at the corner of her mouth slightly, did not disturb Zong Zhengke's chant, and stood quietly behind her to listen.

Her voice is very good, different from the indifference hidden in Su Hui's voice, her voice is soft and sweet that belongs to a girl, although it is as clear as mountain spring water, but it does not carry the chill of resisting people's approach.

The murmuring chant was full of rhyme, and Li Yi looked up to look at the pot-bellied Maitreya Buddha statue on the offering table, and felt that this smiling old bald head was quite cute. Slowly, his churning heart calmed down, and the smell of the scent of the dragon whale sandalwood, which he had always hated, was a little different.

About the time to touch a cup of tea, Zong Zhengke kowtowed to Maitreya Buddha, Ying Ying stood up and turned to look at Li Yi. There was no surprise on her calm and waveless face, her tone was calm and calm, and she gave Li Yi a blessing and said, "I have seen the innocent immortal master, and the little girl is polite." โ€

The cold eyes similar to Su Hui's are dark and dark, making it impossible to distinguish the true feelings. So much so that even her face, which she could see completely clearly this time, made Li Yi ignore it unconsciously. When he came back to his senses, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, he didn't expect that this third girl was such a beautiful and refined character, much better looking than Su Huike.

He took a few steps back, leaned against the door, and returned the salute: "Third girl, you are polite." In the past, he was reckless and disturbed the three girls, and I hope that the three girls can be forgiving. โ€

"The immortal master is serious, but the little girl doesn't dare." Zong Zhengke didn't expect that Wujizi would really apologize to her quite sincerely.

Li Yi looked outside the door, and then looked at the crumbling little Buddha hall, very hesitant. If in the past, he who boasted of ignoring all rules as nothing, I am afraid that he would directly carry this third girl of Zongzheng on his shoulders and take him away, anyway, he is currently a monk. But for some reason, he doesn't want to do it now.

"Third girl, Poor Dao heard that there is a Master Wuni left by your side under Venerable Su Hui, why don't you see her?" Li Yi suddenly remembered this and asked anxiously.

Zong Zhengke said truthfully: "I asked Master Yuanzhen to help my elders, this Buddha hall is very strong, it should not fall for the time being, I can wait until she comes back." โ€

The person who dared to collide with the general trend of the qi, needless to say, must be the layman in front of him who was the "yellow-mouthed child" of the Tianhuang nobles of the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Zong Zhengke didn't know whether to be angry that he had indirectly destroyed the Pure Glass Temple, or to thank this person for doing her a great favor.

Her dual identity, there are so many sisters-in-law in the nunnery. After she returns home, they will all be secretly sent to the Buddha country, and when the time comes, there will be no one in the nunnery, which will inevitably arouse suspicion. Now that Liuli'an is in trouble, the sisters-in-law can only settle around, and they may never see each other again, so they can naturally handle this matter without a trace.

But Zong Zhengke never thought of destroying the Miรจ Pure Glass Nunnery, even if it took some effort to plan in many ways. After all, there is no disaster and no difficulty, and the sudden accident of Liulian makes people even more suspicious. Now it's just right to doze off and meet the pillow.

Li Yi listened to Zong Zhengke's words, frowned and looked outside. At this time, he saw torches lit everywhere in the nunnery, and the figures were longing, and the shouts were rising and falling.

The men and guards of the Zongzheng family all lived in the outer courtyard near the nunnery, but the small hill was close to the inner courtyard, and the road that used to be very short became extremely long. The men who came to the rescue struggled in the raging mudslide, desperately screaming. But looking at the situation in front of them, I'm afraid that if people are not saved, they will still put themselves in it.

Li Yi's ears moved slightly, and he heard a familiar whistle, which was the eagle whistle that passed news to each other under the Tianyi True Sect. After hearing this, he loosened his frowning brows and smiled at Zong Zhengke: "Venerable Su Hui once asked Poor Dao to take care of you, and there are people in Sanqingguan and Ci'en Temple outside to save your relatives, so Poor Dao will stay here for a while, and leave when Yuanzhen comes back." โ€

Zong Zhengke's eyes rolled slightly, and he bowed his head and thanked Li Yi respectfully for his kindness. Although she was very strange, why did Li Yi lie, she obviously didn't say anything like that. And compared to the last time we met at night, he was much more polite, standing motionless by the door.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Li Yi had nothing to say: "The three girls' things have been packed up?" There must be no more people living here, and there are also female pilgrims' houses on the Sanqingguan side, and the poor road can be arranged on behalf of them. After a pause, he said, "The king of Yuyan County was busy washing the marrow and changing the tendons, and he closed his door all day long. This means that you don't have to worry about the old color embryo going bad.

Zong Zhengke was a little surprised that he thought so thoughtfully, so he lowered his head and replied: "The things have already been packed up. Thank you for the generosity of the immortal master, but where to avoid, the little girl can't be the master, she has to listen to the arrangement of the elders in the family. โ€

Behind her lay a vegetarian bread wrapper next to the futon, which contained a few pieces of clothing and a small box of snacks. The things that belonged to Venerable Su Hui were all placed by Mingxin in the Buddha hall on the other side, including the set of tea sets that the Great Trend had given her today. So when she found that the hill was collapsing, she asked Mingxin to hurry up and grab the important things. Mingyue went to the rescue of Xu.

Li Yi nodded and said, "You're right." Then I'll talk to your parents later...... Be careful! He suddenly changed color, and he grabbed Zong Zhengke's arm and took it behind him, but it was too late.

There are two small Buddha halls in the south and one in the north, and the passage was built in the underground in the past, so the bottom is hollow and does not bear the force. It's okay in normal times, but tonight's mudslide of this size is carrying a large number of rocks and bricks, and it is extremely heavy. The solid ground is enough, and the ground building of this small Buddha hall is indeed quite sturdy, but the ground can't withstand waves of oppression.

The ground outside has actually cracked and collapsed a long time ago, but it is just hidden by the mudslide and cannot be seen. Now it was finally the turn of the floor of the small Buddha hall - a big hole had been cracked.

Zong Zhengke was standing next to the big hole, and his heels were even in the air. Li Yi pulled her hard, not only failed to save her, but added another force to the weak ground, so both of them fell into the ground.

Without waiting for the two to react, the Buddha statue in the small Buddha hall rumbled and overturned, blocking the big hole tightly. If Li Yi hadn't pulled Zong Zhengke to hide quickly, the heads of the two people would have to have a close and intimate contact with the Buddha's head.

Reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, the sound of the wind and rain outside, the sound of the torrent rushing seemed to be isolated by the Buddha, and only the sound of the two frightened little hearts beating violently could be heard in the dark underground.

Li Yi took a breath and just wanted to find out the fire fold, but he was surprised to find that his left hand was still tightly holding a small hand that was as soft as bones but cold as snow. He hurriedly let go of his fingers as if he was burned by the fire, and asked urgently: "Third girl, are you okay?" โ€

Zong Zhengke moved her right foot, she couldn't show her flaws in front of Li Yi, she had to be a useless young lady. No, the right foot is broken, and the knee of the left foot is slammed against the wall, and it hurts. But she just whispered, "It's okay." โ€

"That's good, this place may still collapse, we have to get out of here." Li Yi finally found the fire fold and shook it several times to ignite it.

In the dark underground, there was a glimmer of light.
