Chapter 147: Smallpox Temple
Aya was angry with Ouyang Yu at first, because Ouyang Yu didn't let her practice the True Qi Retrograde Technique in the Heavenly Spirit Sect, so that the revenge of the entire Heavenly Spirit Sect would be even more impossible, so the more she stopped her, the more she wanted to run to this Qingyin Pavilion to practice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć But when she heard Ye Cheng make fun of her like this, Aya was immediately annoyed. She wasn't in the mood to practice, so she jumped down and looked at Ye Cheng coldly.
"Originally, you wanted to save me on the edge of the cliff, and what you said in the Qingyin Pavilion was so good, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you Han people to be like this, you don't talk at all, you don't mean to be trustworthy at all!" Aya became even more annoyed as she spoke.
Ye Cheng also felt that she shouldn't have joked with Aya just now, after all, she was a woman with the blood feud of the entire sect, and she deserved more encouragement and help at this time, rather than pouring cold water on her head.
Thinking of this, Ye Cheng immediately apologized and said: "Aya, it is appropriate for Ye Cheng's words to be inappropriate, and I ask the girl to understand, but please rest assured, what Ye Cheng said will not be forgotten." ā
Aya said angrily: "You won't forget what you said?" Okay, how can you help me now?"
Ye Cheng raised his head, looked at no one on the left and right, and then said: "Didn't Miss Aya say that the Flower Zen Sect is also on this Mount Emei, in that case, I will go with you, so I can first observe what kind of wicked person the Guangchan monk you are talking about." ā
Aya said in disbelief: "Do you really want to go with me? It's the Longtan Tiger's Den, it's dangerous, aren't you really afraid?"
"Not every Han is timid and afraid, and not every Han is untrustworthy. Ye Cheng said with a smile.
Of course, Aya wanted Ye Cheng to accompany her in her heart, but she was very worried that Ye Cheng would not be his opponent after being discovered by Guangchan, so she couldn't help but hesitate a little at the moment.
"What's the matter?, is the girl worried that my martial arts are too weak and I will be caught? The girl is not afraid, what is there to be afraid of Ye Cheng?" Ye Cheng has always done what he says, and this time he said that he wanted to help Aya.
Aya shook her head and said: "No, there are some things you don't know, why don't I want to take revenge before you come, but I have gone to Tianhua Temple five times to assassinate the monk Guangchan, but all of them failed, but every time he caught me or recognized me, he didn't harm me, but let me back." So if the two of us go this time, I'm really worried about you, not myself, and I don't know if Monk Guangzen will let you go too. ā
Ye Cheng couldn't help but be a little curious when he heard this, so he asked: "Guangchan, the evil monk who killed your father, didn't even let go of your two elder brothers, but let you go five times?"
Aya muttered: "I don't know the reason, I once asked Grandpa Ouyang, and he said that it may be because I am already the only descendant of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and he deliberately let me go back several times in order to be able to get the secret book of the Heavenly Spirit Zong, that is, the "Heavenly Spirit Spectrum", and then tried every means to get the secret book." ā
Ye Cheng nodded and said, "In this way, this evil monk is not only strong in martial arts, but also quite a city." ā
At the moment, Ye Cheng and Aya agreed to go to Tianhua Temple tonight to take a look, Ye Cheng was afraid that Wei Rou and Zhao Xuanwu would be worried, so he did not mention this matter to the two after returning to the Emei faction, and Wei Rou and Zhao Xuanwu had just reunited with their father, and the other had an eye injury that needed to be recuperated, so they didn't find any abnormal behavior from Ye Cheng.
In the evening, Ouyang Yu arranged a banquet and hospitality, needless to say, and finally in the dead of night, Ye Cheng stepped out of the door alone, and gently took it with him, seeing that there was no one left and right, so he concentrated and lifted his breath and went to Qingyin Pavilion.
When Ye Cheng arrived at Qingyin Pavilion, he found that Aya had already changed into her night clothes, which was different from the daytime dress, and she looked more capable and neat.
"Ye Shaoxia, you have to think about it, Aya will not force others to do things she doesn't like, it's too late to regret it now. "Aya is colorful.
Ye Cheng laughed: "Although Ye is not talented, there are not a few dangers of wind and rain experienced, not to mention going to a smallpox temple, even going to Longtan Tiger's Den is fearless." ā
Aya was very grateful after hearing this, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty, Ye Cheng originally came to Mount Emei and had nothing to do with him, but now he wants to take him on an adventure, and he really can't help it.
This Tianhua Temple, as Aya said, although it is also on Mount Emei, it is nearly two hours apart. Along the way, in order to shorten the footsteps, Aya performed the light skills of the Heavenly Spirit Vertical. It doesn't matter if this performance is performed, it really surprised Ye Cheng, no matter how he lifts his breath and concentrates, after all, he is one step slower than Aya, and he can't help but praise in his heart: "It is really a peerless light skill, I can't complain that the Guangchan monk covets it so much, if you learn this kind of martial arts, it is indeed a rare thing in the world." ā
Two hours away, the two of them performed light skills, and it took less than an hour to arrive. Although it was dark at this time, Aya already knew the terrain of this, and took Ye Cheng straight to the outer wall of Tianhua Temple.
Ye Cheng took a closer look through the faint moonlight, but saw that this Tianhua Temple was simple and solemn, the temple was not very big, and there were traces of peeling off everywhere on the walls.
The owner of such a temple and such a temple turned out to be a mad evil monk? This is hard for Ye Cheng to imagine for a while.
"I don't see any clues here, so let's go in and have a look. Ye Cheng turned to Aya and said.
"It's okay to go in, but Guangchan is extremely alert, so we must be careful. Aya whispered.
Ye Cheng looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "No matter how alert a person is, he has to sleep, at this hour, if he is still awake, isn't he guilty of insomnia?"
Ye Cheng said to Aya, but his eyes did not leave the door of the temple, and suddenly at this time, he found that several figures were coming in a hurry, and he couldn't help but be very surprised: "It seems that there is really no sleep at this time." ā
"Someone is coming!" Because of the lack of light and the long distance, Ye Cheng couldn't carefully identify who was coming for a while.
"It's them!" Aya also saw a few figures at this time, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
"Who is it?" Ye Cheng asked.
"Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru!" Aya replied affirmatively.
Ye Cheng was surprised: "Are you sure it's them, how could they come to this Tianhua Temple?"
Aya nodded and said: "I can't be mistaken, we Yi people, especially the people of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, often go out to collect medicine on the mountains and cliffs, and we have cultivated a good eyesight over the years, even at night, we can see more clearly than ordinary people." What's more, these three people have been in the Emei faction for a while, and I know their physical characteristics very well, so I can't be mistaken. ā
Ye Cheng pondered: "This is strange, these three people are obviously fleeing, and they don't seem to know any martial arts, how dare they enter Tianhua Temple at night? ā
At that moment, Ye Cheng and Aya had discussed, and the two crept to the front of Tianhua Temple, but saw that the gate was closed, but there was no monk on duty, so the two performed light skills and entered over the wall.
Waiting for the temple, Ye Cheng was even more surprised, if the appearance of Tianhua Temple does not look good, then the houses here can be said to be a little collapsed, although it is night, but it can also be seen that these houses are old, and many of them are already a little dilapidated.
Ye Cheng looked around and found that there was a hut next to a big locust tree that was still lit, so he glanced at Aya, and the two quietly came to the eaves and listened to the sound inside through the window.
But when I saw one of the people inside, he said: "If this is the case, the master can be described as immeasurably meritorious, and he is really the first hero of the Ming Dynasty!"
Ye Cheng couldn't identify whose voice it was, but Aya was very familiar with this voice, so he whispered to Ye Cheng: "This person who spoke is Fang Xiaoru!"
But after hearing what Fang Xiaoru said, a vigorous and powerful voice then said: "Where is the donor's words, purifying all sentient beings is the proper duty of the monks, and you must not have the heart to repay, otherwise the heart will not be pure, and the things you do will be mixed with personal interests." ā
"It's Guangchan!" Aya couldn't be more familiar with this voice.
"That being said, I waited for the displacement and the separation of my wife just to be able to help the emperor rise again one day, I thought that it would be difficult to meet in this vast world, but I didn't expect to get the master's news, it is really a providence in the dark!" said a slightly hoarse voice.
As soon as his words fell, the other person seemed to be a little impatient and said: "Master, where is the emperor hiding now, please also ask the master to remember the feelings of our courtiers and take us there quickly!"
"Your Majesty, is it Emperor Jianwen!" Ye Cheng couldn't help but speed up the blood flow all over his body when he heard this, and thought to himself that it was really effortless to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to find it, and his father used the power of the imperial court to find Emperor Jianwen, who was actually hiding in this Tianhua Temple?
Thinking of this, Ye Cheng's palms couldn't help but sweat, in fact, he didn't know until now that the person who rescued God twice on the shore of the reeds was Emperor Jianwen himself, but at that time, the situation was compelling, and secondly, Ye Cheng would never have thought that the dignified generation of kings would abscond as a little novice.
"As long as I find Emperor Jianwen, my mother's status will be restored, so that I, as a son, will be considered a mother, but I have a wish!" Ye Cheng couldn't help but be very happy when he thought of this.
At this moment, I heard the vigorous voice inside, that is, the Guangchan monk smiled: "It doesn't hurt for me to take the three donors there, but there are still two poor monks who don't know if they are companions with you, but it seems that they also want the old man to take them." ā
"There are two more people? The figure flashed just now, although I didn't see clearly that it was Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, but I also saw that it was three people who entered, why are there still two people who want to go together now, could it be that there are five people who came in just now?" Ye Cheng was thinking about it, and suddenly he only heard the click of the doors and windows above his head, so startled that Ye Cheng and Aya hurriedly jumped into the courtyard, and when they reached the middle of the courtyard, they just gained a foothold, but when they saw that someone was talking just now, the door of the house was suddenly opened.
A monk stood in the doorway with three men dressed in civilian clothes.
Ye Cheng knew that he and Aya were overhearing here, so he simply didn't hide from it, first asked Aya if she was injured, and then looked at the other side carefully. But seeing that what Aya said was good, the three people in civilian clothes, one of them had white hair was Fang Xiaoru, the other was Huang Zicheng, and the lean and capable one next to him was Qi Tai.
After his gaze swept over the three of them, Ye Cheng focused his attention on the monk. But seeing that this monk was seventy years old, with a gray beard, tall and mighty, not inferior to a young and strong man, holding a Dharma Zen staff in his hand, looking at himself and Aya with a calm and calm look.
"Are you Guangchan?" Because of what happened to Aya, Ye Cheng also omitted etiquette and was not polite to Guangchan.
The Guangchan monk over there looked like a torch, and first recognized that a black-clothed man on the opposite side was Aya, but the young man who spoke had never seen it, so he said: "Amitabha, the poor monk is the Guangchan monk, dare to ask this young man is a friend of the Aya girl?"
"Exactly," Ye Cheng said with a smile.
Monk Guangchan sighed when he heard this, and slowly said to Aya: "Female donor, you have come here again and again, and the poor monk already knows everything, why is the donor still obsessed and refuses to believe what the poor monk says?"
Aya sneered beside her, "Let me believe what you say?" You better look down at the string of Buddha beads on your chest first. ā
The Guangzen monk shook his head and sighed, but he didn't look down at the Buddha beads hanging on his chest. However, when Ye Chengjing Aya said this, he couldn't help but look at it, but he saw that this Buddha bead was indeed slightly abnormal, as if a few beads were missing.
At this time, I saw Aya take out a handkerchief from her arms, raise her hand and slowly unfold it, but saw that there were five Buddhist beads inside, which seemed to be exactly the same material as the string of Buddhist beads on the chest of the Guangchan monk.
"That night twelve years ago, I will never forget you masked monks and the Buddhist beads you scattered on the ground because of your murder, which is the only physical evidence I found at the scene after you left. You may think that even if someone survives, you can only conclude that you are a group of monks, but the whole world is huge, and there are monks everywhere, so how can the survivors tell which temple you belong to? Heaven was pitiful, let me find these scattered Buddha beads, and later I was told that this kind of material and style of Buddha beads are only available to you Guangzen monks of Tianhua Temple! Tonight, in front of everyone, see how you can deny it!" Aya asked sharply.
Monk Guangchan didn't look panicked at all, and Ye Cheng couldn't help but secretly admire that he could be so calm, which showed that he was a very deep and difficult opponent to deal with.
"What the female donor said is not bad, not to mention that only a few of us are present tonight, even in front of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people that day, Lao Gao will never deny that these Buddha beads are indeed dropped by the string of Buddha beads on Lao Gao's body. Guangzen said slowly, with neither sadness nor anger in his tone, as if he was telling an extremely ordinary thing.
Ye Cheng listened on the sidelines, but he was thinking in his heart: "Just now I and Aya were hiding outside the house, just by the sound of breathing, this Guangzen monk can detect that there are people outside the house, and can also determine how many people are outside the house, it can be seen that the martial arts cultivation is already very good, and after a while, I must protect Aya from harm, as long as one of them can get off, go back and inform Ouyang Yu, the head of Emei, if he comes, he can solve this siege." ā
But what Ye Cheng didn't expect was that the Guangchan monk didn't leave himself and Aya at all, and he couldn't see the angry look on his face after being overheard, so he waved his hand and said: "The female donor, born in the mortal womb with the naked eye, is the same for the old man who has cultivated for many years, not to mention the female donor? Sometimes what you see is not true, and the old man can't admit that he hasn't done anything, as for how this Buddha bead got into your hands, the old man has no way of knowing." All the old man can do is that he will not embarrass you at any time, so you can go ahead. ā
As he spoke, Guangchan waved his hand seemingly casually, and Ye Cheng and Aya actually felt a force attacking, and they took a few steps back before they stood firm.
Aya had seen Guangchan's martial arts, so she was not very surprised, but Ye Cheng was the first time she had met, and just one move was enough to conclude that the martial arts of this Guangchan monk were unfathomable. Ye Chengyi never thought that in such an inconspicuous temple, there would be a hidden dragon lying there.
"Monk Guangchan, I won't tell you anything, in Xia Ye Cheng is just passing through this place, but after meeting Miss Aya, he is deeply sympathetic to his experience, and he is also very indignant, so he came here tonight without telling me, wanting to see what the murderer of his family who killed him twelve years ago looks like. Ye Cheng said.
"There's no murderer you're looking for here, donor, please take care of yourself!" Monk Guangchan suddenly burst into a sharp light in his eyes, obviously he wanted to end this fearless argument.
"I've heard everything you guys talk about in the house, aren't you afraid that I'll leak it out and ruin your good deeds?" Ye Cheng wanted to deliberately annoy Guangchan.
However, as soon as this remark came out, the Guangchan monk was noncommittal, and Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng around him were greatly alarmed, among which Fang Xiaoru first said: "This young man, there is a debtor and a master, although we have not had much time with Master Guangchan, but we are impressed by his generosity and compassion, he cannot be the murderer you are looking for, you must be mistaken." ā
Aya smiled sadly and said, "Our family, as well as the entire Heavenly Spirit Sect has more than a hundred lives, how can it be that you can make a mistake?"
"Female benefactor, if it were a weekday, I would definitely invite you and this young man into a cold house, chat about a cup of thin tea, and have fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, but today is very time, please go back quickly!" said the Guangchan monk and walked a few steps forward, and then stood in front of Ye Cheng and Aya.
Although the Guangchan monk has not performed any martial arts so far, that compelling spirit has already made Ye Cheng feel that this battle tonight is inevitable.
