Chapter Seventy-Five: Bad News
Three days later, the news of the death of the abbot of Yuanyi spread.
Xia Qian was shocked, she was fine a few days ago, why did she die so quickly?
The next day, Lin asked Mingyue to pass the word, saying that he would take Xia Qian to Fahua Temple to copy a reverberation text to Yuanyi.
She thought about it and thought, that day in Fahua Temple, Yuanyi specially told her that she could not go to the poem again in the near future. Although her heart was extremely painful, the other party's trust was very important, and she had to be cautious.
Although the Lin family did not blame, they were very dissatisfied with Xia Qian's approach, saying that she didn't know how to raise and refused to be a lay disciple, and even a monk like Yuanyi who was kind to her didn't keep it in mind.
Xia Qian said that she was suffering, sitting in the yard and looking at the two birds on the branches.
At the moment, she wished they could bring her some news!
"The young lady sits here early in the morning, what should I do if she is sick?" When Bai Bing stepped into the West Courtyard, he looked at her and cried out in surprise.
Seeing a thin layer of sweat on Bai Bing's forehead, Xia Qian quickly guessed that this girl had gone out to run errands early in the morning.
Soon after the other party returned to the room, she quietly followed.
Almost as soon as he stood at the door, the voice in the room rang out.
It was He Nuan who opened the door, and when she saw someone coming, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The young lady has something to find a slave?" ”
"It's okay," Xia Qian paused, "I'm a little upset, I want to talk to the two of you!" ”
On the table, Yu Nuan brought the brewed tea to Xia Qian and sat down next to her in front of the table.
"Bai Bing, where did you go just now?" She looked at Bai Bing and went straight to the point.
Bai Bing walked to the table, sat down and replied seriously: "Fahua Temple! This matter was originally going to be reported to the young lady, but in recent days, our people have been killed and injured countless times, and the slaves and maids who have seen the blood are really unbearable to let you work! ”
Sure enough, it was a grasshopper in the same boat, she went straight to the point, and the other party did not shy away from it.
Xia Qian took a sip of tea, her eyes still fell on Bai Bing, and asked, "How did Abbot Yuanyi die, the task of seeing blood and light you said is related to Fahua Temple?" ”
"It is said that in order to cover Chen Qi's children leaving the Yi country, Yuanyi was shot seven arrows in a row by Kuo Tianchen! I have checked in detail, and it is true that Yuan Yi died under the arrow of Kuo Tianchen, but no one can confirm the matter of covering Chen Qi's children. Our mission is to find clues to the ancient kingdom of Yuemo from Yuanyi. It's a pity that our people went one step too late, when they arrived at Fahua Temple last night, Yuanyi's body had been cremated by Kuo Tianchen, and there was no clue about the affairs of the ancient country of Yuemo! ”
Xia Qian's fingers holding the teacup moved slightly, took out another cup and poured tea and handed it to Bai Bing, deliberately holding the sandalwood bracelet hidden on his wrist in front of Bai Bing's face for a few more moments.
This bracelet was given to her by Abbot Yuanyi a few days ago, saying that the black-clothed man who appeared in the Eighteen Arhat Hall would reveal flaws when he encountered this bracelet.
Bai Bing's eyes showed surprise when she looked at the tea, it was the first time she had encountered such an honor, she took the teacup with both hands and smiled, and quickly drank it.
"Thank you, young lady!" After Bai Bing drank the tea, he sighed lightly at the tragic death of Abbot Yuanyi.
Seeing that Bai Bing didn't care about this string of beads, and there was no abnormality, the look in Xia Qian's eyes was a little complicated.
Since, the person who abbot Yuanyi said two months ago who infiltrated Fahua Temple to track down the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Yuemo was not Bai Bing, but Bai Bing knew this important clue, either they were in a group, or they had a common goal with another group of people.
Yu Nuan looked at Bai Bing suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "Chen Qi rebelled, and the king of Yi ordered the punishment of his nine clans. Kuo Tianchen was ordered by the king of Yi to strictly investigate Chen Qi's rebellion, and the officials who colluded with Chen Qi in private were all caught in the net. Although he did what the king of Yi wanted, he didn't have to put Yuanyi to death? ”
"Herein lies the problem. If Chen Qi's children are really hidden in the Fahua Temple, Kuo Tianchen only needs to close the temple and search it, and there is no need to kill Yuan Yi. I think it's a cover for him to catch criminals, and what he really wants to do is to track down the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Yuemo. ”
Xia Qian's calm face was rippling, and her voice was hurried and angry: "In order to find the ancient country of Yuemo, you actually found an excuse to kill the abbot of Yuanyi?" Kuo Tianchen is really lawless! ”
"Alas!" Bai Bing sighed, "The days when the General's Mansion was dominant, and now the Qingtian King's Mansion is in charge, and Kuo Tianchen is domineering and unscrupulous. This Yuanyi has been friends with Chen Qi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, for many years, if Chen Qi's children are really lucky enough to meet Yuanyi, Yuanyi will definitely protect him desperately. Because of this, Kuo Tianchen has a chance! ”
Broad Heavens!
Xia Qian silently recited the name in her heart three times, and the fingers holding the teacup gradually turned mutton fat white due to force.
