The silent Zen master doesn't have to go to find Jade Xiaoyao, because Jade Xiaoyao is in Lingyan Temple.

The small fire on the stove gently licks the bottom of the pot, and the water in the pot is the water from the cassock spring, which is sweet and delicious, and it is the most suitable for making tea.

The silent Zen master gently lifted the pot, and the steaming spring water rushed into the white porcelain teacup, and the dark green tea leaves swirled in the water, and the faint fragrance of tea floated out.

"The poor monk thinks you don't drink tea. Bu Yu smiled slightly.

Yu Xiaoyao took a sip of tea, and his thoughts had drifted to the small village outside Yiling City. Su Qing's long eyelashes blinked, and there was a smile in his eyes, "Then you might as well drink some tea to wake up the bar." ”

"If you drink too much wine, you always have to drink some tea to sober up. He said lightly.

The silent Zen master nodded and said, "So I have seen a lot of mundane things, so I might as well listen to the Buddha's teachings." ”

Yu Xiaoyao laughed: "You old monk, how can you drink tea and get involved in Buddhism?"

The silent Zen master said solemnly: "Wrong. ”

Yu Xiaoyao was stunned, "Wrong?"

The silent Zen master said: "The so-called Zen tea taste, drinking tea is to participate in Zen, which is also a kind of practice." ”

Yu Xiaoyao smiled: "In this way, drinking is also Zen." ”

The silent Zen master said, "Oh? ”

Yu Xiaoyao blinked his eyes and said, "As the saying goes, if you spit out the truth after drinking, you can see that drinking is the most discerning, isn't it also a practice?"

Yixi's words also made the silent Zen master laugh, "In this way, the poor monk can let the disciples in the temple drink wine instead of drinking tea." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "If this is the case, then I would rather be a little novice under your door." ”

The silent Zen master smiled, and brought the topic back again: "So the poor monk has always felt that you are very wise, and I would like to talk to you about Buddhism today." ”

Yu Xiaoyao hurriedly said: "That's it, since the master said that drinking tea is practice, then I can drink tea." ”

The silent Zen master said, "Since you don't want to listen to the Buddha's teachings, why do you come to the temple again?"

Yu Xiaoyao was silent, since Su Qing's death, he had been disheartened, and he was afraid that Lu Qiao'er would come to find him, so he simply hid in Lingyan Temple, listening to the morning bell and dusk drum every day, but just asking for a quiet.

The silent Zen master said, "If you don't want to listen to Buddhism, then the poor monk will tell a story." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "Master, please speak." ”

The silent Zen master said: "Do you know that the way of northern tea originates from my temple." ”

"Oh?" Yu Xiaoyao became interested.

The silent Zen master said: "During the first year of Tang Kaiyuan, the ancestor of our temple created the way of Zen tea, and since then, the tea ceremony has gradually become popular in the north. ”

Speaking of this, the silent Zen master smiled slightly and said: "The demon slayer is not only a monk who is proficient in Buddhism, but also a famous master at that time, it is said that he once subdued the twelve giant thieves of Jiangbei and benefited hundreds of people. ”

Yu Xiaoyao was slightly disappointed, the last thing he wanted to hear now was the story on the rivers and lakes.

Seeing that he didn't want to listen to it anymore, the silent Zen master changed the topic and said: "Although the jade donor is not in my Buddhism, his chivalrous heart of punishing evil and promoting good is the same as that of a demon slayer..."

Yu Xiaoyao interrupted him and said, "Old monk, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't take these flattering words." ”

The silent Zen master was not angry, and said: "The jade donor is really smart, the poor monk invited you to drink tea today, because he wanted to invite the jade donor to go out of the mountain to investigate a strange case." ”

Yu Xiaoyao waved his hand and said, "Don't go." ”

The silent Zen master seemed to have expected this, and asked, "Could it be that the jade donor is planning to live here for the rest of his life?"

Yu Yaoyao said: "So what?"

The silent Zen master said: "If the donor has this plan, the poor monk is willing to cut the hair for the donor." ”

Yu Xiaoyao smiled: "That's not possible, when you become a monk, you can't drink alcohol, and you can't get close to women, it's better to kill me with a knife." ”

The silent Zen master said: "Since there are still many unfinished things in the donor's heart, why don't you linger here? Since the donor refuses to be born to practice Buddhism, why not enter the world to punish the demons?"

Yu Xiaoyao was silent, just gently raised the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "It's better to drink tea." ”

Coming out of the meditation room, Yu Xiaoyao only felt that his heart was even more chaotic, and the words of the silent Zen master kept echoing in his mind.

"If you don't want to be born to practice Buddhism, then why don't you enter the world to punish your demons?"

He shook his head and drove the sentence out of his mind, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Mind Demon, how simple it is to say, his heart demon is too powerful and cunning, he is not an opponent at all.

Do you really want to hide here for the rest of your life? Another voice in his heart asked him.

In the twilight breeze, he walked out of the temple gate, and the sound of monks chanting for evening classes sounded behind him, and the road in front of the temple gate was full of pine needles on both sides, and the air was filled with a faint rosin.

Suddenly, he saw a man.

A young man, a young man dressed in white like snow.

The young man stood under the green sandalwood tree, with extremely heroic facial features, a tall posture, and a pair of slender and white hands hanging down at his sides. He had a sword hanging from his waist.

When the young man saw him coming, he lightly put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and rose with murderous anger.

Yu Xiaoyao didn't seem to feel his killing intent, nor did he see his hand on the hilt of the sword, so he walked over.

"Stop!" the young man suddenly shouted.

Of course, Jade Xiaoyao will not stand.

With a dragon groan, the long sword flashed with a touch of blood in the twilight, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Yu Xiaoyao's throat.

Yu was silent, his figure slid and turned, and the person had reached the back of the young man.

The young man also reacted quickly, drew his sword and turned around, and returned to the door to look at the moon with one move, and the tip of the sword pierced the jade in the heart.

Yu Xiaoyao turned around suddenly, his fingers curled lightly, and one finger flicked on the sword.

The long sword let out a mournful roar, came out of his hand, and slanted into the green sandalwood tree next to it, and the sword body shook incessantly.

A hint of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, but then he hid it, "Jade Xiaoyao?" he asked.

Yu Xiaoyao asked lightly, "Something?"

The young man asked, "Do you know who I am?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "What do you have to do with me." ”

The young man was angry, "My name is Jiang Yuhuo." ”

"Should I recognize you?" asked Yu Yao.

Jiang Yuhuo said: "It's not important. ”

Yu Xiaoyao said lazily: "Since it doesn't matter, what do you say he does." ”

Jiang Yuhuo was stunned by him, sank his face, and said, "Let me ask you, what Master Buyu asked you for, did you agree?"

Yu Yaoyao said: "What do you have to do with it." ”

Jiang Yuhuo sneered: "It's better that you don't agree, this is a matter inside the six doors, and it's not for you to meddle." ”

Yu Xiaoyao asked, "Are you done?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "It's over." ”

So Yu Xiaoyao simply left, without even looking back at him.

Jiang Yuhuo silently pulled out his sword and walked into the temple.

Yu Xiaoyao didn't go far, he just hid in the distance and looked at Jiang Yuhuo, he was very curious, why this young man came to trouble him, and why he was unwilling to let him meddle in this matter.

People are always curious, and the curiosity of smart people is especially important.

So Yu Xiaoyao sneaked back again and fell far behind Jiang Yuhuo. He suddenly found that his dead heart had begun to beat again, and this feeling had not been felt for a long time since Su Qing's death.

Jiang Yuhuo didn't notice Yu Xiaoyao's tracking, and walked straight into the meditation room of Master Buyu, he seemed to be very familiar with the road in this temple, obviously not the first time he came here.

Yu Xiaoyao's heart moved, climbed the pillar under the porch and climbed onto the roof, leaned down gently, and quietly listened to the movement in the room.

"You're coming fast. "This is the voice of the silent Zen master.

"Yes. Jiang Yuhuo said, "The disciple has been handling a case in Tai'an recently, and he rushed over immediately after asking about the news." ”

The silent Zen master asked, "Have you ever seen your master?"

Yu Xiaoyao almost screamed, Jiang Yuhuo claimed to be a disciple in front of the silent Zen master, then his master... Could it be the wife who was silent when she was not yet a monk?

Jiang Yuhuo said: "I've seen it, and I've also seen Master's body." ”

Only then did Yu Xiaoyao know that they were talking about another person, and it had nothing to do with the silent Zen master.

The silent Zen master said: "Life and death are impermanent, don't be too sad." ”

Jiang Yuhuo said: "The disciple knows. ”

The silent Zen master sighed and said, "This matter is extremely strange, and your master's death is also strange, I originally found someone and wanted to ask him to help you." ”

Jiang Yuhuo said: "You are talking about Jade Xiaoyao, we have already seen it." ”

"Oh?" said the silent Zen master, "Did your master tell you?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "It was the little junior sister who told me. But he didn't need to ask about it. ”

The silent Zen master asked, "So, you have a clue?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "Exactly, I came here to ask you for verification. On the night my master was killed, did you see anyone after you went out?"

The silent Zen master was silent for a long time, thinking that he was thinking, and after a while, his voice sounded again, "I haven't seen anyone." ”

Jiang Yuhuo said: "That's right, I looked at the master's wound, and it was a sword to seal the throat." Being able to kill the master with one sword and keep the body from falling shows that this person's swordsmanship is extremely high. Being able to escape at the moment when you come out shows that this person is extremely light. ”

The silent Zen master said: "That's true, but although there are not many such masters in the rivers and lakes, there are also ten fingers, where do you start?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "In the few days when the master was killed, there were not many sword masters who appeared near Jinan Mansion, and there was only one person who met the above two points at the same time!"

"Who is it?" asked the silent Zen master.

Jiang Yuhuo said: "Xue Qing!"

The silent Zen master said: "Blood Sword Xue Qing?"

Jiang Yuhuo said: "It's him." I suspect he's the murderer. ”

Yu Xiaoyao's heart sank, and his people sank with it. He threw a jack drop, crushed the roof, and fell into the meditation room.

"Jade Xiaoyao!" Jiang Yuhuo pulled out his sword, his eyes as if he was about to erupt fire.

The silent Zen master shook his head slightly and said, "You could have walked through the door." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "Come down directly and be faster." ”

Jiang Yuhuo asked, "Yu Xiaoyao, what do you want?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "It's nothing, it's just this matter, I suddenly want to take care of it." ”

Jiang Yuhuo sneered: "Did you hear that your friend was in trouble, so you couldn't help but take action? Let me tell you, if the murderer is Xue Qing, no one will be able to save him." ”

Yu Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said a word.

"If the murderer is Xue Qing, I will personally tie him up and hand him over to you. ”
