Chapter Ninety-Seven: Entrustment
Ji Yanran asked a few monks, but they couldn't find out the whereabouts of Master Shikong and the little monk Hu Yu.
Something must have happened to the mage, right?
Looking at the panicked scene in front of her, Ji Yanran remembered: "There is a small path that leads to the Zen courtyard of the mage behind. ”
After saying that, he ran straight to the backyard.
The fire in the back meditation room was the largest, and once the wooden frame structure of the house was burned, it was difficult to suppress the fire, and the smoke choked people so much that they could not breathe.
The monks still persevered in fetching water to put out the fire.
"Hurry up, help put out the fire." Ji Yanran bent down and picked up the barrel.
"Don't go," Li Yong stretched out his hand to stop him, "being weak alone will only add to the chaos." ”
Her eyes were red, and she didn't have the appearance of fooling around.
Li Yong frowned, and his voice softened unconsciously: "I have already transferred all the manpower on Zhuangzi to help, and I will definitely be able to extinguish the fire within an hour." ”
Ji Yanran's panicked mood seemed to be calmed down a bit, Li Yong was right, the monks in the temple practiced martial arts on weekdays, and she would only add chaos when she stepped forward.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Qian had already arrived with someone.
There were many people in front of her, but Ji Yanran never found the figure of the Sky Release Mage.
"Ayong," Ji Yanran wiped the corners of her eyes, "Will the mage ......" As long as he thought of the bad result, the sourness in his heart spread.
It's as if a very important place in my heart is about to be lost, and the whole person suddenly becomes very empty.
Ji Yanran couldn't help but rub the corners of her eyes again, and looked desperately into the crowd, showing no mercy, even if she had a brain thousands of years later, she was helpless.
"I'll help you find it," Li Yong rolled up his sleeves and tucked the corner of his robe at his waist, but his face was more serious than usual, "But you have to stand here, you can't move around, the guards at home will watch you, otherwise I will let Tang Qian and them all come back and no longer care about things here." ”
"You know I'm a big rule, and I can always say and do it."
Ji Yanran nodded: "I know everything." ”
Several people came over and protected Ji Yanran, Li Yong lifted a bucket of water and poured it on his body, and then strode inside.
"Third Master."
Seeing this, Tang Qian hurriedly followed.
Ji Yanran bit her lip tightly, she was full of hope that Li Yong would be able to find the Void Release Mage, but she was also afraid that he would rush into the smoke.
But she only blinked her eyes, and Li Yong's figure disappeared.
Will she hurt him?
If you inhale the smoke, you will have to worry about your life, Ji Yanran thought about looking at the guards beside her: "You go over to help the third master......
A few of the guards stood there as if they hadn't heard.
I don't know how long it took.
Finally, the familiar figure rushed out, and there was still a man under his arm.
It's the little monk Hu Yu.
Ji Yanran's eyes widened and she immediately greeted her.
It can be seen clearly by the light of the fire that the robe on Li Yong's body is already black, which shows that the situation inside is very serious.
Hu Yue closed his eyes tightly, unable to see whether he was alive or dead.
"He's fainted."
Ji Yanran suddenly sobered up: "I want to find a place to see if I can wake him up, I'll ...... A medicine box is also required. ”
Hu Yu was placed in a meditation room without fire, and the monks brought a medicine box and external medicines.
After a few needles went down, Hu Yu slowly woke up.
Ji Yanran immediately said: "Do you feel out of breath?" Take your time and don't rush. ”
The most terrible thing should be that the respiratory tract is burned, and if this is the case, without breathing equipment, soon the person will be suffocated to death.
She couldn't help but clench her hands, these days she has seen the little monk more than the Liberation Master, the little monk looks like he has less wisdom, but he is more thorough and straightforward than anyone else, she has long regarded him as a younger brother in her heart.
Hu Yu shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and opened his mouth to speak, but his eyes turned red first.
Ji Yanran's heart sank: "Have you seen Master Shikong?" ”
Hu Yu said after a while: "Master...... Seeing ......", but there was a confused look on his face again.
In the firelight, no one can tell the difference.
After drinking two sips of water, Hu Yu's face finally got better, but his eyebrows were heavier.
It wasn't until Master Jingyun arrived with a few disciples, and several people sat together and recited the scriptures for a long time, that Hu Yu's mood stabilized.
Hu Yu raised his red eyes to look at Ji Yanran, and said in a hoarse voice, "Master...... Passed away, let me ...... Later...... Follow...... Senior sister ......"
Ji Yanran's brain "buzzed", and tears almost fell from her chest.
"Amitabha." The monks in the room folded their hands and chanted the Buddha's words.
"There is no one else injured in the temple, and there is only one less Master Shikong, and there is indeed a figure in the room...... Fear...... It's true. ”
Li Yong looked at Ji Yanran before he said: "This fire can be extinguished in half an hour, there are enough people here, and it can be cleaned up in a few moments, and then you will know if the mage is not inside." ”
Maybe there's a silver lining.
Ji Yanran pursed her lips, not knowing whether she was comforting Hu Yu or comforting herself: "Don't worry, maybe it's not as ...... as we think" Hu Yu was in a trance, and he didn't necessarily see it clearly.
Hu Yu lowered his head: "Master...... Let me...... Follow Senior Sister...... Masters...... Let me be vulgar...... I'll just be vulgar......"
If Master Shikong was fine, he would never say such a thing, let alone entrust Hu Yu to her.
Ji Yanran's last glimmer of hope was also completely shattered, although she had not been with Master Shikong for a long time, but Master Shikong passed on her medical skills, and treated her so kindly and kindly like an elder who had known each other for a long time.
Li Yong looked at Master Jingyun: "Are there any outsiders coming to the temple today?" ”
Master Jingyun pondered for a while and said, "Except for the pilgrims, only the prince of Cheng'en came to see Master Shikong. ”
That bun.
Ji Yanran frowned, Gu Heng once said that he wanted the mage to pass away, could it be that today's incident was really done by him?
It's impossible, no matter how bad the bun is, it won't kill people and set fire for no reason.
The welcoming monk entered the door and whispered a few words in Master Jingyun's ear, and Master Jingyun sighed and said, "Master Shikong has passed away, and his body is in the meditation room. ”
This time, the little monk Hu Yu did not speak again, but sat cross-legged and began to chant meditation silently.
Li Yong walked out with Master Jingyun, and Ji Yanran also wanted to step forward but was stopped by Hu Yu: "Master still has ...... Something else...... Charged. ”
Ji Yanran turned her head.
Tang Qian took the people in the meditation room out, and Hu Yucai raised his eyes, his eyes were full of sadness: "Master said that medical books and other things must be given to Senior Sister, and there are still some things...... It has been entrusted to Li Shizhu in advance. ”
Hu Yu said that Li Shizhu naturally could not be Li Yong, Ji Yanran had seen Li Yue playing chess with Master Shikong in the temple, so it should be Li Yue.
At this moment, Ji Yanran didn't have time to think about this, she always felt that Master Shikong was not dead, and there must be something else in this matter.
