Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1035
Shangguan Bingyun turned around and came out, came to the foot of the hill, beckoned to a shadow guard subordinate, and said: "Send someone to stare at Tang Shanshan from Chunshui Academy, and stop any messages she sends to anyone."

The shadow guard bowed and said yes, and then left quickly.Shangguan Bingyun turned around and glanced at the house where Lu Xiucai lived on the hillside, there was a moment of doubt in his eyes, but in the end he rushed to the Wuli Shuiyue Temple outside the south gate that Lu Xiucai said.

At the same time, in Lu Xiucai's residence, Lu Xiucai knelt in front of a person, with a look of fear on his face, and said, "Please, please let my granddaughter go! I have done what you said just now, and put those words I told them all, and I can guarantee that I didn't leave a single flaw just now."

The man said coldly: "People in the world say that being old and not dying is a thief. I just saw your performance just now, and I was indeed a cunning old thief. That Shangguan Bingyun is notoriously difficult, but he was also deceived by you. Don't worry! I won't hurt your granddaughter, but as for you old thief...you can't live anymore."

Lu Xiucai's complexion changed drastically, and when he was about to say something, the man stretched out his right hand like lightning, and when he retracted it, there was a heart in his hand, and Lu Xiucai let out a scream, and touched his heart with a pale face, there was an extra heart a hole.

……

……

Shangguan Bingyun ran down the mountain, but he didn't go on foot to Shuiyue Nunnery outside the city. After all, it was too eye-catching to perform lightness kung fu in broad daylight. One of his subordinates prepared a carriage for him, and he went all the way to the destination.

As the chariot and horse set off, Shangguan Bingyun thought about the matter over and over in the car. Although he felt that the process was a little smooth, there were no loopholes.However, although this matter has some clues, the key still depends on whether we can find Master Mingyue in Shuiyue Nunnery.

Knowing that Shangguan Bingyun was in a hurry, the hidden guard who was in charge of driving the car did not walk slowly. Before Shangguan Bingyun could figure out something, the car had already arrived at Shuiyue Nunnery.

With green mountains and green waters, small paths and ancient nunneries, the scenery is absolutely secluded. To be able to host here, this Master Mingyue is probably very good.

The door of Shuiyue Nunnery was open, and Shangguan Bingyun walked in alone without any subordinates. The lamps in the nunnery had not yet been lit, and the sound of singing was endless. A nun in black clothes and white socks quietly Standing in the shadow under the plane tree, it seemed that she was mourning the misery in the world of mortals. As Shangguan Bingyun walked towards her, she stared at the nun, trying to see through her.

Before Shangguan Bingyun could speak, the nun clasped her hands together and bowed to Shangguan Bingyun, saying, "I don't know who the benefactor is looking for."

Shangguan Bingyun returned the salute and said, "Master Mingyue is here?"

The nun glanced at her and said, "The poor nun is the bright moon. I don't know where the benefactor came from? Why?"

Shangguan Bingyun took out the portrait from his bosom, and said: "Master has avoided the world of mortals for a long time, do you still remember this girl?"

Master Mingyue said: "If you remember, you don't remember. If you don't remember, you remember. Why should the benefactor ask? Why should the poor nun say?"

Shangguan Bingyun smiled and said: "If you say it, you don't say it. If you don't say it, you mean it. If the master insists on not saying it, is it a sign?"

Today's eminent monks from various sects of Buddhism talk about Buddhism, Taoism, scriptures and Zen, there are really few people who can compare with Shangguan Bingyun.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Master Mingyue's mouth, and said: "The benefactor also understands the mechanics of Zen."

Shangguan Bingyun said: "Know a thing or two."

Master Mingyue sighed: "Since the benefactor is helping people, why should the poor nun be puzzled? Since the benefactor has come here, he must have heard from Lu Xiucai that Miss Shui'er has indeed lived here for a while."

Shangguan Bingyun was overjoyed and said, "Master, does Master know where Shui'er went after he left here?"

Master Mingyue said: "Miss Shui'er has a miserable fate. Before that Lu Xiucai painted her portrait, she was already suffering from a strange and terminal illness, and she only had seven days to live."

Shangguan Bingyun lost his voice and said, "A terminally ill strange disease? Only seven days left to live... Could it be that she is already dead?"

Master Mingyue clasped his hands together, and said with pity on his face: "Life and death have destiny... Amitabha, so good!"

This result was beyond Shangguan Bingyun's expectation, she never thought that Shui'er was dead.

"No, if Shui'er is really ill and has a few days left to live, it is absolutely impossible for Lu Xiucai to paint for her, and she will definitely rush back to Xiangfu Kingdom to see His Majesty. This nun Lying."

Thoughts turned in Shangguan Bingyun's mind, and he suddenly said: "All appearances are illusory. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata."

Master Mingyue was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, clasped his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, what the almsgiver said is very true."

Shangguan Bingyun sneered in his heart, and thought to himself: "This person doesn't even know the meaning of this scripture of Sakyamuni, there is indeed a problem, and he is probably a fake nun." But she didn't show the slightest, said : "In that case, I will take my leave."

Master Mingyue said: "Please benefactor!"

After Shangguan Bingyun left Shuiyue Nunnery, he went down the mountain to see that there was no one around, then he slipped into the forest, and then returned to Shuiyue Nunnery by detour.

However, before he went back to Shuiyue Nunnery, he saw a fierce flame rising into the sky from Shui Peng Nunnery.The Shuiyue nunnery has turned into a sea of ​​flames, even if there are any secrets in this nunnery, it has already been completely burned by the fire.

But Shangguan Bingyun did not leave, but was still lurking on a nearby tree with an excellent view, but he was able to hide himself by using the crown of the tree.

Just like that, she remained motionless, and after half an hour, something finally happened. A head suddenly stuck out from a dry well next to the path leading to Shuiyue Temple halfway up the mountain. First, she looked left and right cautiously, and then jumped up. It can be seen that this person's movements and body skills are extremely clever.

The person who came out of the well was also a woman, but she was not that Master Mingyue from her face, but Shangguan Bingyun was able to confirm that this woman was Master Mingyue with just one glance, but her face was no longer the three-faced one before. The face of a 40-year-old is a woman in her twenties, and she is wearing a tight-fitting nocturnal black dress.

This woman's qinggong is extremely high, but her body posture is very strange, sometimes she even helps her feet with her hands to increase her speed, she looks like a cat with four legs and four legs.

However, not only was she moving extremely fast, but she never made a sound, so that people would not find his posture ridiculous, but would feel indescribably mysterious and terrifying.

Shangguan Bingyun undoubtedly felt this way too.Because she remembered a legend, she recognized this woman as the legendary demon slave.Shangguan Bingyun had heard from Lou Yanming many years ago that when Old Demon Yu was at its peak, Old Demon Yu personally trained a group of demon slaves. First-class killers, they all have learned a technique of 'beast escape'.

It is said that these demon slaves are people who can't see the light of day. They have received extremely strict, cruel, and even perverted training since they were young, and they live an extremely inhuman group life!They can neither have a family nor have wives and children, because the life of a demon slave is not his own, but the subordinate demon master. As long as he is selected as a demon slave, his life's fate is already determined.It is said that only demons who have reached the half-step innate realm will use their "potential" to plant "demon seeds" in their hearts in a way similar to brainwashing, and use this to control the mind and will of these demon slaves, and wait until they grow up. , They will start to accept the orders of the Demon Lord, no matter how difficult and dangerous the task is, as long as it is arranged by the Demon Lord, they will desperately complete it.

However, as far as Shangguan Bingyun knows, the lifespan of demon slaves is very short, less than 30 years old, so the batch of demon slaves trained by Old Demon Yu have all died, and now the new demon master Cui Xi has not yet reached the age of half. Bu Xiantian is strong, and he is only in his 20s, where did this demon slave come from?Why did she appear in this Shuiyue nunnery to deceive herself?

He kept speculating in his mind, but Shangguan Bingyun had already quietly followed, and soon the two of them returned to Yingtianfu City one by one, and arrived at Zhongyuan Inn, one of the largest inns in Yingtianfu.

This demon slave sneaked into this inn, and she should live in the far left courtyard, because after she arrived, she did not immediately enter the courtyard, but first checked the front, back, left and right of the courtyard, and looked very carefully.

There are five rooms in the courtyard, three bright and two dark, only one room is not lit, and the window of this room is facing the side door of the inn.There was neither light nor sound in the windows.

Shangguan Bingyun decided to take a gamble on whether she was right.In fact, she was very lucky, because the demon slave seemed to hear something suddenly, and went around to the other side of the yard.

Shangguan Bingyun's body took the opportunity to fly out, flatly flew out against the roof, from the shadow of one roof ridge to the shadow of another roof ridge.The window is fastened from the inside.Shangguan Bingyun opened the window with just a snap of his fingers.With a snap of her fingers, she fastened the window from the inside, and her person had already reached the beam of this room.

At this moment, the window that she had just locked was suddenly opened again, and a person rushed in like a civet cat.It was the demon slave who came in, but the demon slave did not go through the main door when entering his room, but climbed over the window.

Shangguan Bingyun's deduction was very accurate, this room was indeed the lodging place of this mysterious demon slave, she was not mistaken.At this time, her body has completely entered a state of suspended animation, only relying on the breathing of the pores of the skin to maintain the vitality of the functions and the clarity of the mind, but she can launch the fastest movement and launch the most powerful attack in an instant.

It is not easy to become a demon slave, and it is even more difficult to live after becoming a demon slave.In Manu's life, a fatal crisis may be encountered at any time, so their senses and reactions must be particularly sensitive.
