Chapter 42: A Chance Discovery
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old Tianyu escaped from the troupe to a nunnery called "Shanyuan Nunnery", and Tianyu did not dare to hide anything, so he told the owner of the Nunnery about what had happened.
The owner of the temple, "Jing'an Shitai", is a kind-hearted person who is dedicated to the Buddha, and she did not hesitate to take in Tianyu. Jing'an Shitai is not only a good person who eats fasting and recites Buddha, but also a strange person, proficient in martial arts, and also has an almost lost stunt, which is the "disguise technique".
Tianyu did not lose her hair in the nunnery, because the owner of the Jing'an nunnery said that she was not over, so she became a lay disciple of Jing'an Shitai. Jing'an Shitai felt that she had a fate with Tianyu, so she taught her the art of disguise, Tianyu was talented and intelligent, and she didn't learn for a long time to quickly comprehend her mind, and her singing also made her able to transform into a man's voice lightly, and her skills were even better than that of Master Jing'an.
In the blink of an eye, spring and autumn are like arrows, and Tianyu has grown from a yellow-haired little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world to a slim girl. One day, she went down the mountain to Huayuan, and her eyelids kept jumping on the way to Huayuan, and she hurried back to the nunnery in a hurry.
As a result, she was immediately stunned by the scene in front of her, and the nunnery, where she had lived for more than five years, turned into a sea of fire. Many people gathered outside the courtyard walls to fight fires or watch the excitement, fire trucks were constantly sprinkling water, the gate of the nunnery had been burned beyond recognition, and the courtyard wall had collapsed.
Seeing such a tragic scene, Tianyu went crazy and rushed into the vast sea of fire in spite of everyone's obstruction. Tianyu found Mrs. Jing'an, who was already unconscious, in the back wing, and carried her out of the meditation room that was about to collapse. Jumping over the courtyard wall closest to her, she came to the safety of the mountain behind the nunnery, and then put Jing'an Shitai on the ground. It was found that the master's robe was tattered, and there were several wounds on his forehead and arm, as if there were traces of a fight.
Tianyu called out to the unconscious Jing'an Master with teary eyes: "Master wake up, Master wake up."
Master Jing'an opened her eyes slowly, looked at Tianyu with a smile, and said to her gently, "It's great that you're okay." After speaking, he raised his hand and caressed Tianyu's cheek lovingly. Then he put his hand into his arms, took out two things and put them in Tianyu's palm, and told her with a stern expression: "This peach wood card is a token of the master." You can wear it on your body to ward off disasters and take refuge. And this half of the jade pendant is the last piece of a group of ornaments, it hides a shocking secret, you must keep it. "Finished. Mrs. Jing'an coughed violently.
Tianyu wanted to help Jing'an Shitai to heal her. But Master Jing'an grabbed Tianyu's hand and shook her head and said to her: "It's okay with me, you have to listen carefully now and remember what Master is going to say next, don't track down the arson, it's best to find a good family and live this life ordinarily; But I once gave you a divination, your life has many twists and turns, and your future fate will be closely linked to this half, and you can't escape if you want to. But I want you to keep one thing in mind. In any case, you must not harm people's lives, and remember that harming others will eventually harm yourself. "Finished. He closed his eyes permanently.
Tianyu hugged the body of the master and cried bitterly, she has always been smart, and she heard from the master's tone that someone deliberately set fire to the nunnery, and there were very obvious traces of a fight on Mrs. Jing'an's body.
Jing'an Shitai knows martial arts quite well, ordinary people can't get close at all, and the person who attacked her must be from the rivers and lakes, and her kung fu is quite good. But Tianyu is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he is determined to investigate this matter clearly and avenge his master. She buried Master's body in the back mountain of the nunnery, and began to investigate the arson and murder in the nunnery.
As a result, after several tosses and turns, it took five years for her to finally find some clues. And all the ends of the spearhead have pointed to the "strange residence". So she began to change her various identities to approach Yishiju, first she set her eyes on me and the fat man, followed us to Yunnan, and found that someone wanted to assassinate us, but unfortunately the female partner she paid for me blocked the Gu poison, she had to give up following us, and stayed in Yijiazhai to take care of the poisoned companions.
Later, when she knew that we had returned safely, she went to Yishiju to inquire about the news, and bought the "Yugui" I brought out from the "Xiangwang Tomb", wanting to trace the purpose of our fight from Yugui, and then speculated why those masterminds behind the scenes would target Yishiju. As a result, she didn't get any useful information, and she felt more and more the mystery of the alien residence, and had been secretly waiting for an opportunity to get in touch with the alien residence more deeply.
As a result, the emperor lived up to her painstaking efforts, she overheard the conversation between me and the fat man who wanted to recruit a clerk, so she seized this opportunity and entered the strange house with a dead face.
After listening to her brief story, my heart was shocked.
To my surprise, Tianyu turned out to be from the same school as us, because she also had the same "Peach Wood Brand Town Ghost Card" as me, and three of the four peach wood cards in Master's mouth are now in the world. What shocked me even more was that the half of the jade pendant she said immediately reminded me of the sandalwood box that I took out from the tomb of King Xiang in Yunnan before, and there were three jade pendants that could be connected end to end, did it have anything to do with the half of the jade pendant in her hand. But when I think about it, there is no such coincidence in the world. But thinking that Tianyu also wanted to enter the tomb of King Xiang, although the purpose she said was to follow me and the fat man, in fact, I don't know the real purpose, maybe she already knew that there was a jade pendant hidden in the tomb of King Xiang, so she would buy Yugui by mistake.
I was thinking about the credibility of the bizarre story told by Tianyu in my heart, although the life story was very detailed, but there were many details that were not clearly explained, such as her master's lay identity, why would a nunnery owner far away from the dust and mundane world invite death?
And why did she set her sights on the stranger? During the five years, what evidence did she find, specifically those spearheads pointed directly at the other Shiju, why did she not talk about these things in detail?
Although she seems to be honest and reciprocal, she is actually just telling the story she wants to tell, but there is more and more purpose hidden behind it. This also shows that she doesn't believe in Yishiju very much, otherwise she can take out the peach wood ghost card and recognize the master. However, she has used all kinds of means to approach and probe the stranger's residence, what makes her scruples?
I looked at the beautiful Tianyu, and suddenly a wonderful thought came to my heart, is the face I see now really her original appearance? I was skeptical. And I obviously noticed that she was very scheming, and her brain was definitely a hundred times smarter than me. From what she just said, we can see that she recounted in detail what happened before the destruction of the nunnery, and then the events after it were cleverly skimmed, indicating that she didn't want me to know too much, and she told her about her past in her childhood so heartfelt, no doubt just to dispel my suspicions about her.
I was suspicious by nature, and her tricks were not easy for me to use, but I was skeptical when she told me what she seemed to be sincere, and I could even say that I only believed a tenth of them. However, no matter what her purpose was for approaching the stranger, now that she had surfaced, there would always be a day when the window paper would be pierced, and it was better to pretend to be stupid and use her to get more information from her, and to borrow her power to take the fat man and the smoking man away from here.
I had been lying on my side on the ground, because when I woke up, I could feel the wounds on my stomach and buttocks, and the heart-wrenching pain that came from me, so that I could neither lie down nor lie on my stomach. The pillows on both arms were numb, so I had to get up and stand.
I didn't say anything after Tianyu told me her story, because I really couldn't think of what to say to her. If you want to ask her some questions, it is estimated that she will only respond to lies, so it is better not to ask. And I don't know what kind of purpose she has in order to approach us, if we talk lightly, it is too easy for this shrewd woman to talk. So before you think of a way to deal with her, it's best not to get in touch with her too deeply.
I leaned against the stone wall and said to her in a very flat tone, "I'll go and make it easier." With that, he slowly walked out.
Tianyu was probably surprised by my attitude, after listening to her story, most people should have some reactions, but I was like a dispensable story, and there was no reaction at all. But she was very smart, and soon knew that I was deliberately keeping a safe distance from her, so she smiled and leaned over to check the fat man and the smoking man's body.
The wound on my body hurt as if it was torn because of the movement, and then I thought of the wound on my buttocks again, when I bandaged the wound in the rain just now, I was not seen to be gone, and I thought of this I was a palpitation and blush, and then I thought of her smile just now, and said that she had misunderstood, and she must have thought that I was embarrassed, so I didn't dare to talk to her. But how did she know, Master, my skin is thicker than the city wall, why don't I dare to talk to a woman because of this little thing, there is another hidden reason in this. But it's okay to misunderstand her, so I can easily wander around her and find out what she's really about.
I moved out of the stone room, to the dim corner of the stone room outside, when I was about to finish, I looked down, found that there was a black snake on the ground in the corner, raised my head, was looking directly at me with evil eyes, frightened I involuntarily let out a "Mom" scream, urine was spilled on my shoes, hurriedly panicked back two steps, heard the sound of fast footsteps behind me, and I stared at the black snake on the ground, and said: How can there be a snake here?
As a result, the black snake on the ground was silently motionless, as if it had hibernated, and I couldn't help but look at it closely. (To be continued......)
