The Mystery of Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 34 The Nosy Monk Is Ordinary, The Jade Stealer Peggy Hai Has Suspicion

The Taoist was about to attack Chang Yun, but saw a figure in midair stabbing towards him with a sword, so he had to let Chang Yun go and swung his head back.

"Shua shua shua", the attacker pierced three swords in a flash, separating the Taoist from Chang Yun. The Taoist looked intently, it was a black-clothed one-armed man holding a dagger.

It was Ji Hai who came, holding a sword and looking at the Taoist coldly, but his heart was already filled with turmoil.

Without him, this Taoist's force is truly unfathomable.

Ji Hai made a sneak attack first and had a weapon in his hand. It can be said that he took advantage of the opportunity, but was easily resolved by the Taoist with a pair of fleshy palms. From Ji Hai's point of view, the Taoist was at least at the Profound Realm.

The Taoist looked at the people in the field and knew that this matter was going to be difficult, so he could only smile wryly: "Why do you guys insist on wading into this muddy water?"

The monk spoke at this time: "The old monk originally only wanted to drink and eat meat, but when he encountered this unfair thing today, he must take care of it."

The Taoist said contemptuously, "It's troublesome", looked at the woman in purple shirt again, sighed secretly, flew up and turned out of the inn.

Chang Yun slowly withdrew the hand holding the woman's wrist, and said softly: "Don't say death easily, only by living can there be hope."

The woman didn't move at all, and said quietly: "You don't understand, some things, even if you die, you may not be able to get rid of them." The wounds in the body began to ache again, the blood was surging, and the strength was exhausted.

Chang Yun and others sent the woman back to the room to rest, and seeing the monk still standing in the courtyard, Chang Yun said to the monk, "Great monk, do you want to drink together?"

The monk's eyes lit up: "As long as it is drinking, the monk will never refuse."

The moonlight was bright, illuminating the backyard very brightly.

Wine and dishes were set up on the stone table in the courtyard, Chang Yun sat opposite the monk, and Ji Hai stood beside him with a blank expression.

After a few glasses of wine, Chang Yun asked about Cai just now.

"The old monk doesn't know these two people either. It's just that the old monk wanted to forcefully take away the purple-shirted woman, so the old monk stopped him. However, the old monk's force is extremely high, and the old monk is almost no match. Thanks to the help of the two of you, otherwise I would have given the Buddha today." Disgraceful, guilty, guilty."

Chang Yun laughed, this monk is a real person, he didn't hide his incompetence at all.

"Have you consulted the monk yet?"

"The monk's name is ordinary."

"Ordinary monk?"

"It's the old monk."

Chang Yun laughed, the monk's dharma name is also interesting.

The monk also laughed, and Chang Yun laughed as much as he wanted, until Chang Yun's laughter stopped abruptly, and he also restrained his smile.

"You are a good guard. You are agile. It's just that your killing intent is too strong, and you will inevitably leak your flaws." The ordinary monk looked at Ji Hai.

Ji Hai didn't speak, but clenched his left hand unnaturally.

Chang Yun looked at Ji Hai, then at the monk, and said with a smile, "How does the monk know that I'm here to help you?"

The ordinary monk poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all down, "The monk believes that he has no enmity with the young master, and the Buddha said that the face is born from the heart, and the monk has the virtue of loving life when he sees the young master, so he believes so. son."

Chang Yun interrupted the monk: "The great monk is wrong. Bad people are better at hiding their thoughts. The worse a person is, the deeper he hides."

The ordinary monk poured Chang Yun a glass of wine and said with a smile: "This is true, but today in the inn, I saw that the young master looked at the woman in the purple shirt. Although his eyes were fixed, there was no distraction in his eyes. disciples."

Chang Yun's old face flushed, and the monk had already noticed his little tricks, so he couldn't take his eyes off?No distractions?The monk's mouth is really bad.

The monk went on to say: "The monk is never wrong when he sees people. The person who can buy me a drink is the dragon and the phoenix among the people. If I can settle the wine money I owe to the inn, the monk will pray for the young master every day in front of the Buddha. Sutra, keep you safe."

Chang Yun made the monk amused, feeling that the monk even bought the food and drinks during the day on credit, so he asked Ji Hai to pay the monk for the drinks.

"Amitabha, young master Gu Dao is warm-hearted and chivalrous, I don't know where he will go tomorrow?"

"I'm going to Yunzhou, where is the monk?"

"I am also willing to go to Yunzhou. The journey is far away. Would you like to have a monk as a companion?"

"That couldn't be better." Chang Yun raised his glass and offered a glass of wine to the monk.

"Today's Taoist priest, does the monk know his origin?"

"I don't know, the monk only knows that he is a second-rank master of the Profound Realm, but his identity is still unknown."

Chang Yun asked suspiciously: "Where is the monk?"

"There is no border and no product."

"really?"

"Really, monks have no borders or ranks, and they are just lucky to be able to match a few moves with masters."

Chang Yun smiled and stopped talking, said goodbye to the monk and took Ji Hai to the room. The monk was drinking wine on his own, but he heard Chang Yun's hearty voice,

"Great enlightenment is speechless, laughter is hopeless, there is no border and no character, and the monk is ordinary."

The monk stared blankly at the wine glass in front of him, but was stunned.

...

Back in the room, Chang Yun looked at Ji Hai who was following behind: "Do you have anything to say?"

Ji Hai said calmly, "Master, you shouldn't get involved in today's affairs."

"I know you will say that, I did what I did today on purpose."

"Oh?"

"The woman's identity is not simple, she hides a secret, the Taoist just now should have come from the palace."

Ji Hai wondered, "How does the young master know?"

"He has a feminine air about him, and his voice is high-pitched. I'm afraid he was born as an eunuch." In the entire Xia Kingdom, there was only one place where there were eunuchs, the imperial palace, so Chang Yun felt that the identity of the purple-shirted woman was not simple.

Ji Hai's brain is not enough. As a killer, his killing skills are enough, but he is not like Chang Yun. There are five sword sharpeners on Sword Sharpening Island who specially teach him various methods. The analysis is not him. good at.

"Do you know what happened in Kyoto recently?"

Ji Hai shook his head. Along the way, Chang Yun received several pigeon letters, which must have brought some latest information.

"Princess Changle and secretary Lang Liujue are both ill. It is said that even the imperial physician is helpless." Chang Yun said to Ji Hai calmly.

"Is there any relationship between the illness of the princess and the son-in-law and what happened today?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. I suspect it's not a real illness." Chang Yun nodded, "What do you think this is?" Chang Yun spread out his hand, and in the palm of his hand was a purple jade pendant with a phoenix engraved on it.

"This is from the woman in the purple shirt. It should belong to the royal family. If my prediction is correct, she is most likely the Princess of Changle." Chang Yun was very satisfied with his analysis, but saw Ji Hai looking at her with a strange expression. he.

"What's wrong with Chicken Head? Didn't you expect me to be so good?"

"Master, did you steal it from the woman?"

"Princess Changle's son-in-law is Liu Jue, and his father is Liu Daoen, head of military equipment, No.1 in our Xia Kingdom's military."

"While the woman is unconscious?"

"Do you still remember the Ule wolf soldiers you met in the desert? I suspect that someone was involved in the assassination of the high-level military at that time."

"Is this stealing incense and jade?"

"So I want to follow this clue, maybe I can find some clues. That monk is not an ordinary person, I'm sure, he also has secrets."

"Does that woman know that the young master walked away with her jade pendant?"

"To shut up!"
