Chapter Seventy-Six: Madness
Since Pu Luochen was not a cultivator, it was inconvenient for him to live with the Taoist disciples in the temple every day, so the abbot Xingying Taoist arranged Pu Luochen to live in a stone house behind the mountain temple. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe stone house was built on the mountain, surrounded by weeds, and it had been uninhabited for a long time, the house was covered with cobwebs, and dust could be seen everywhere, so before moving in, the Star Underworld Daoist ordered his disciples to clean the stone house carefully, and the whole house was barely clean. After everything was settled, the Star Underworld Dao left the stone house with peace of mind. Under the leadership of the disciples in the temple, Pu Luochen came to the stone house. Looking at the stone house in front of him, Pu Luochen nodded with satisfaction, and said to himself: "It seems that I, Pu Luochen, will live in this room for a while longer." Shen Xinyi, who was on the side, heard Pu Luochen say this, glanced at Pu Luochen, and sneered: "The surname Pu, this girl has never seen a stupid person like you, you can live in a spacious and bright house, but you insist on living in this stone house, do you like to be with those wild flowers and weeds in the house?" Pu Luochen did not nod, nor did he deny it, but said in a nonchalant tone: " Miss Shen, I have never liked to live with people who chant sutras and recite Buddha every day, even if they are cultivators. I don't have the intention of becoming a monk, so I don't need to live with those Taoist priests. When Shen Xinyi heard this, she only felt angry and funny, and couldn't help asking: "Pu Yunyang, if you say what you say, if you live with those Taoist priests, are you a monk?" Shen Xinyi listened to this, and said with a smile: "Pu Yunyang, listen to what you mean, do you still plan to live in this old monarch's palace all the time?" Pu Luochen said: "Of course not." As long as the real murderer who killed Shang Wuying is found and Pu's grievances are cleared, Pu will no longer have to hide like this. Shen Xinyi snorted slightly and said, "I finally know what I should do!" Pu Luochen opened his mouth and responded: "Of course!" Speaking of this, Pu Luochen seemed to remember something, and immediately asked: "By the way, I have heard Miss Shen talk about it before, Miss Shen came to Pu this time because there is an important matter that needs to be told to Pu, I don't know what it is?" As soon as the words came out, I saw Shen Xinyi consciously check the movements around her, and when she was sure that there was no one around, she said with confidence: " Pu Yunyang, this girl is looking for you this time, and she does have something important to tell you in person. Pu Luochen saw Shen Xinyi's solemn face, and knew that what the other party said was not trivial, so he immediately replied: "Miss Shen, it doesn't matter, Pu Mou must listen carefully." Shen Xinyi said "um", and then asked: "Pu Yunyang, do you know why Shang Wuying died?" Pu Luochen didn't expect the other party to ask about this matter as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to shake his head to say that he didn't know. Shen Xinyi said: "That's because you and Shang Wuying have always been at odds, killing Shang Wuying can blame you, teach you to be speechless, and in the face of the pursuit of the Shushan faction, you can only choose to flee everywhere." When Pu Luochen heard this, he was not surprised, but said quietly: "Sure enough." Since Shang Wuying's death, Pu has also thought about this matter carefully. After thinking about it, I only came to one conclusion, that is, someone wanted to use Shang Wuying's death to kill people with a knife, and borrow the knife of the Shushan faction to get rid of Pu. Shen Xinyi couldn't help but praise: "Pu Yunyang, you are worthy of being the head catcher of the six doors, thinking about things so clearly." Pu Luochen shook his head and said: "Miss Shen Liao praised, Pu only wants to understand the matter of killing people with a knife now, but he still can't understand why that person wants to design to harm me!" Shen Xinyi said: "The reason why people want to design to harm you is because you are a person from Six Doors, to be precise, a person from Nie Sanjiang!" Pu Luochen couldn't help but be stunned, and said puzzledly: "Just because Pu is the head catcher of the Six Doors, he wants to design and frame Pu, could it be that this person has a grudge against the Six Doors? Otherwise, why do you act like this?" Shen Xinyi smiled coldly and said"That person doesn't have a deep grudge against the Six Doors, but that person is very afraid of the Six Doors, and that person is afraid that the Six Doors will find out something that shouldn't be found, and then threaten their existence, so they have to strike first, design to frame you, and get rid of you, so that they can deal with Nie Sanjiang with all their might." Pu Luochen said: "In this way, isn't the current situation very unfavorable to Mr. Nie's head-catcher?" Shen Xinyi heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Pu Luochen, and said coldly: "Pu Yunyang, you are already unable to protect yourself, and you are still in the mood to think about your Mr. Nie Hunting, can you help Nie Sanjiang now? I'm afraid that before you see Nie Sanjiang, you will already die in the hands of the Shushan faction!" Mr. Nie is gracious to Mr. Pu, and Mr. Pu should be the head catcher for Mr. Nie to solve problems, as for the Shushan faction, it is a while to be able to hide for a while. Shen Xinyi saw that Pu Luochen had been talking for a long time, without mentioning herself at all, and suddenly felt dissatisfied in her heart, and said coldly: "Pu Yunyang, this girl rushed all the way from Lingbao County to this Xinfeng County, not to let you solve problems for your President Nie, let alone let you stay here to avoid the pursuit of the Shushan faction, but for another purpose." With your ingenuity and ingenuity, can't you guess what this girl's purpose is?" Pu Luochen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "The reason why Miss Shen knows so many things must be secretly investigated. Speaking of the word investigation, how can I be missing the head catcher? Miss Shen should want to join forces with Pu to deal with the mastermind behind it. Shen Xinyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Pu Yunyang, you can understand the meaning of this girl, that's the best." It's not in vain that this girl has traveled thousands of miles to find you. Pu Luochen said: "I bother Miss Shen for bothering about this, and Pu apologizes deeply." Please also rest assured that Miss Shen will do his best to help Miss Shen!" Shen Xinyi said: "Helping each other, helping me is helping yourself." Pu Luochen nodded yes.
As soon as the two of them chatted here, they saw a Taoist boy walking slowly towards the stone house. After the boy arrived at the stone house, he first made a mockery to Shen and Pu, and then said: "The two donors have come to the temple to offer incense, it has been some time, and they haven't eaten any food yet, now that the lunch time has arrived, please ask the two donors to go to the temple to eat with the trail!" Shen Xinyi listened, and said to Pu Luochen in a low voice: "Pu Yunyang, today's matter will be here first, let's talk about it another day." With that, he departed. Pu Luochen knew that if a woman stayed in the temple with him, it would only arouse suspicion, and since the other party was leaving, there was no need for him to keep anything. Therefore, in the face of Shen Xinyi's departure, Pu Luochen didn't say a word, but he was looking forward to meeting the other party again. As a Taoist priest, in addition to preaching and preaching every day, he also cleans the temple. Even chopping wood and cooking will help with some of it. When it was time to eat, he ate with them. And just like that, a day passed. The next day, when Daylight had just revealed a small face, the door of the stone house began to knock, and when Pu Luochen heard the noise, he had to turn over and get out of bed, get dressed, and go to open the door. After opening the door, the person who knocked on the door was a Taoist boy in the temple, who was the same Taoist boy who had invited Pu Luochen to eat before. Pu Luochen remembered that this Taoist boy was called "Zhizhen", and he was the youngest disciple in the temple, and everyone who knew him called him Zhizhen Little Brother.
"It turned out to be the true Taoist, who came to find Pu early in the morning, I don't know what happened?"
As soon as the words came out, I only heard the true little Taoist priest say loudly: "Master Pu, it's not good, something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Pu Luochen immediately asked.
The true little Taoist priest first glanced in the direction of the mountain temple, then turned his head and said: "Master Pu, early this morning, there are many people in the temple, the leader is a very beautiful and beautiful female donor, as soon as the female donor enters the temple, she will find a person surnamed Pu, and said that this person surnamed Pu should have come to the temple within a few days, Xiaodao thought about it, the person surnamed Pu should be the person surnamed Pu Shizhu!" Pu Luochen was taken aback when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Could it be Senior Sister Wei?" I didn't expect Senior Sister Wei to find the Laojun Palace so quickly, it seems that I need to think of ways to avoid it!" Suddenly, the true little Taoist priest asked: "Master Pu, is the female donor your friend?" Pu Luochen was slightly stunned, and then said: "The true little Taoist, if you didn't come to tell me about this, I'm afraid that I, Pu someone, still don't know about it, Pu Mou is here to thank the little Taoist." As for what is going on, I have my own way of coping with it. Don't worry, let's go back to the temple and rest first!"
"Do you really don't have to worry about it?" the little Taoist priest couldn't help but ask.
"Thank you for your concern, I really don't have to worry. Pu Luochen replied.
"Since this is the case, Xiaodao will retire first. After the little Taoist priest finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
There was indeed a female benefactor in the temple, and the female benefactor wore white flowers on her head and was dressed in plain clothes, which seemed to be coming for the funeral. Not only that, but the female benefactor also brought a lot of purple-clothed people, and the purple-clothed people brought were all wrapped in white cloth on their heads and white belts around their waists, and they were a funeral procession. It's just that no one scatters paper money, and no one has a hand stove. Taoist temples are places where cultivators worship the gods and practice for themselves. The so-called gods are sacred and inviolable, and no one else will be allowed to blaspheme. In such a sacred place, there is suddenly such a mourning procession, and if you either go to the wrong place, someone is deliberately causing trouble. The Taoist priest in the temple still obstructed the female benefactor in every way at first, but later saw that the female benefactor was powerful and all of them were armed, so they had no choice but to let it go. After the female benefactor came to the temple, she wanted to find a person surnamed Pu, and after obtaining the consent of the abbot Star Underworld, she began to take people to search the temple. The benefactor led people to search every house carefully, but found nothing, and at this moment, a man in purple came forward to report that he had found a stone house under the corner of the mountain behind the temple, which seemed to be inhabited. So the female benefactor took many purple-clothed people and went straight to the stone house. The stone house is the only place that has not been searched, and if the person surnamed Pu cannot be found in the stone house, he will have to leave the Laojun Palace and look elsewhere. Therefore, after those purple-clothed people rushed to the stone house, they couldn't help but say anything, and immediately broke into the stone house to investigate, but they still found nothing. The female benefactor still did not give up, and ordered everyone to search carefully around the stone house to find the person surnamed Pu. At this moment, I suddenly heard a person chanting aloud: "Qi, clouds." The chaos is at the beginning, the dry kun is laid, the light and clear qi rises and becomes the sky, and the heavy turbidity of the qi descends and becomes the earth. The luck of the king's qi, the shape of the earth's qi, the body of the qi, and the essence of the luck's qi, so there is the accumulation of qi into the sky, the accumulation of the earth, the qi above and under the form, the image in the sky, and the formation of the earth...... "The man walked and read at the same time, and unconsciously appeared in front of the female benefactor. The female benefactor took a closer look at the person in front of her, and saw that this person's hair was messy, his face was full of dust, and even the Taoist robe on his body was tattered. Nowadays, the saints strongly advocate Taoism, and the government will place all those who cultivate Taoism accordingly. Even if he was a poor Taoist priest who was wandering outside, the government would take him to a nearby temple to settle down. The Laojun Hall is a Taoist temple built by the Holy Lord himself today, there are a lot of pilgrims coming and going, it can be said that the incense is prosperous, and the cultivators who live in the temple should all be people who do not worry about eating and drinking, and enjoy the wealth and nobility, how could such a wild Taoist priest suddenly appear? The female benefactor thought of this, and could not help but be suspicious of the Taoist priest who appeared in front of her. Ever since the Taoist priest appeared, he had been chanting qi-related words, ignoring the female benefactor and the others. Seeing that she was about to pass by the Taoist priest, the female benefactor immediately stepped forward to stop the Taoist priest.
"The little girl has something to say!" said the benefactor. And the Taoist priest didn't seem to hear it, and he still recited those so-called true qi mantras in his mouth.
The female donor snorted slightly, and said: "Daoist, the little girl is also a pilgrim of your temple, and the Taoist chief treats the little woman like this, it is really rude!" After the Taoist priest heard the word "etiquette", he suddenly said: "Zuo Yi!" After speaking, I saw that the Taoist priest clenched his right hand into a fist, covered his left hand on his right fist, raised his knees, raised his eyebrows, and made a gesture with his hands not together. After doing it, the Taoist priest continued to do it, refusing to stop for a long time. The female benefactor smiled coldly and said, "Why does the Taoist master keep making troubles? Isn't he afraid of being discovered something?" The Taoist priest did not answer, and still kept making a fuss at the moment. Seeing that the Taoist priest refused to answer, the female benefactor walked to the Taoist priest and whispered: "Senior brother, you are quite similar to this Taoist priest, but it's a pity that you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me, the person who should be deceived!" It turned out that the Taoist priest was dressed as Pu Luochen. According to the description of the true little Taoist priest, Pu Luochen believed that the female benefactor who came to the temple to find his whereabouts was his junior sister Wei Qingran. Pu Luochen knew that because of Shang Wuying's death before, Wei Qingran had already regarded himself as an enemy. In addition, this time, because of themselves, so many Shushan sect disciples lost their lives for no reason, and the misunderstanding between them has become deeper and deeper, no matter how they explain it, they are afraid that the other party will not believe them. In desperation, Pu Luochen had to pretend to be a Taoist priest in the temple to avoid the search of the other party, and only in this way could he have a chance to save his life. Of course, if you just pretend to be a Taoist priest, it is easy to be recognized, so Pu Luochen memorized some of the content on the "Self-cultivation and Qi Cultivation Formula" by the way, and then deliberately pretended to be stupid, blindly reciting the "Self-cultivation and Qi Cultivation Formula" in his mouth, and ignored anything else. Make the other party feel that he is a demented Taoist priest who only knows how to recite Taoist books. As Pu Luochen expected, the female benefactor who came to the temple to find the person surnamed Pu was Pu Luochen's junior sister Wei Qingran. In addition, he also brought a lot of disciples of the Shushan faction. Pu Luochen thought that he could use the identity of a Taoist priest to deceive the other party and avoid the other party's search, but he didn't expect that he was finally recognized by his senior sister Wei Qingran.
