Chapter 37 Rescue

Chapter 5: Save

The old monk raised his eyes slightly and looked at Sang Wuhen, "Amitabha, didn't the almsgiver come here to burn incense and worship Buddha?"

"Master Abbot, can you take a step to speak."

"Who is the benefactor? Do you have anything to do with Lao Na?"

"I'm Xia Sang Wuhen, after being instructed by others, I came to ask the master for some things."

"You, Kyoto police?"

"Yes."

"Okay, come with me." After Master Daoguang said that, he walked into the main hall.

This is a meditation room, a place where monks meditate and chant scriptures.

Master Daoguang jumped onto the chanting bed, crossed his legs, straightened his body, and clasped his hands together.

"Donor Sang, please sit down."

Sang Wuhen also sat on a chair beside the bed.

At this time, the young monk in the courtyard brought tea.

"Benefactor, please use tea." The little monk respectfully handed Sang Wuhen a cup of tea, then, bowing to Master Daoguang, he slowly exited the room.

"I don't know what the benefactor Sang asked me for?"

"Yu Xiaodan, I wonder if the master recognizes it?" Sang Wuhen went straight to the point.

When Master Daoguang heard the name, his face changed slightly: "To tell the benefactor, Dan'er is Lao Na's nephew." The kindness of the words is a bit puzzling.

"Oh, master nephew?"

"Dan'er's parents died when he was young, and I brought him up in the temple alone."

"No wonder it's called so, so..." Sang Wuhen smiled, feeling suspicious. "Master, is your nephew in the temple now?"

"No, he hasn't come back since he quarreled with me last year." Master Daoguang's face darkened, and then he asked, "Did Dan'er commit something?"

"To tell the truth, Master, there is indeed a case that seems to be related to him, but it is just a guess."

"What case?"

"Master, have you heard of the Great Zhao Sect?"

"I've heard that it's the biggest case in Jingzhou's history. Why don't you know?" Master Daoguang clasped his hands together and whispered again: "Sins, sins, Amitabha. Does the benefactor suspect that Dan'er is related to this incident?"

"Yes, I am going to ask the master to verify one thing."

"Speak, Lord Sang."

"There are rumors in the world that no one has seen Yu Xiaodan's hidden weapon "Xiao Lianhua", because everyone who has seen it has died. May I ask Master, do you know that he has such a hidden weapon?"

"Alas, monks don't lie. Lao Na definitely knows." Master Daoguang replied in a low voice.

Sang Wuhen was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"Master, can you explain in detail?"

"My nephew is very talented and obedient. He has been practicing martial arts in the temple since he was a child, meditating and chanting sutras. Originally, I thought he would make a difference in Buddhism." Master Daoguang paused.

Then he said: "Who knows last spring, a pilgrim surnamed Li came here to us, and he seemed to hit it off very well with his nephew. I lived here for almost half a month, and taught him a lot of things. The window, and secretly saw that he gave my nephew a lot of very small granular items. However, I didn’t look carefully, maybe I didn’t pay attention at first.”

"Could this be 'Laughing Lianhua'?" Sang Wuhen interrupted.

"I didn't know it at first, but later, an acquaintance named Xiangke Li came to see him. For some reason, they started fighting in the wing. When I heard the news and rushed there, I saw Xiangke Li yelling: "I want you to Have a taste of my "laughing and pity flowers". "After saying that, with a move of his hand, several grain-shaped objects floated in front of the acquaintance. No one expected that the objects seemed to have eyes. Instead of removing other body parts, they all landed on the face of the person. It suddenly burst after getting on."

Having said this, Master Daoguang's voice trembled slightly.After a while, he went on to say: "The situation at that time was really horrible. The skin on the man's face instantly fell off and turned into blood. Slowly, the blood flowed down and soaked into the whole body. In less than a minute, all the muscles Turned into water, turned into a skeleton. Strangely enough, the clothes of the deceased were intact."

It seems that people from the Great Zhao Sect did die from "smiling and pity flowers".Sang Wuhen thought.

"I saw that the pilgrim surnamed Li used such a vicious weapon to kill people. I was very scared. The next day, I was determined to drive him away. My nephew refused, and the two quarreled. Originally, monks never had any grudges with others. However, if such people stay in the temple for a long time, it will be a disaster after all.”

"Master is right."

"The pilgrim surnamed Li saw that I was determined and couldn't say anything, so he left Pudu Temple on the same day. However, my nephew felt resentful towards me. After a few days, he disappeared and never came back." Master Daoguang said Sadly, he let out a long sigh: "Maybe the world of mortals is not over yet, let's yearn for fame and fortune in the world."

"Master, did you hear about your nephew later?"

"In the second half of last year, there was a murderer who used "Xiao Lian Hua" in Jianghu. I think it should be him. But I didn't expect that the Dazhaomen case that shocked Jianghu was also related to him.".
"Conjecture now, but there is no real evidence yet." Sang Wuhen said, and then the conversation changed. : "Master, do you know where the hometown of Li Xiangke is?"

"Donor Sang, he did tell me, but after so long, I can't remember clearly."

"Can you think about it carefully?"

After a moment of silence, Master Daoguang finally spoke again: "It seems to be Jishui Town, which is more than 100 miles away from here."

"Jishui Town?"

"Yes."

Sang Wuhen stood up.

"Thank you, master, for telling me. I'm going to take my leave now."

"Benefactor, it's getting late, why don't you stay in the temple overnight, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow." Master Daoguang politely persuaded him to stay.

That's right, the secret note I left goes straight to Pudu Temple, I'm afraid Shui Sheng is coming, why don't we wait for her to arrive, and we go to Jishui Town together.

"Then don't bother Master." Sang Wuhen agreed readily.

"It's an honor for our temple to stay here overnight. You are too polite." After speaking, he got off the meditation bed and led Sang Wuhen to the next room.

This is a small wing room, and the whole space is filled with a sandalwood fragrance. The floor, the table, have been wiped clean, and the quilt on the bed is neatly folded.

"Donor, I feel wronged. Please sleep peacefully here."

Sang Wuhen just wanted to reply.

A woman's mournful voice came from outside the hall: "Please let me meet Master Daoguang, please."

"No, the abbot is receiving guests."

Master Daoguang's face was full of surprise. He probably didn't expect that a woman would come to him, so he clasped his hands towards Sang Wuhen, stepped back, and left the room.

Sang Wuhen also felt very strange, so he followed.

When I walked to the door of the main hall, I saw a somewhat pretty middle-aged woman with tears on her face, yelling at a group of young monks who were blocking her.

Seeing this, Master Daoguang stepped down the steps, and then walked into the woman slowly.

When the monks saw Master Abbot, they dispersed one after another.

"Donor Jiang Min, I wonder what you want from Lao Na?"

"Master Daoguang, you and I have known each other for more than [-] years. I really want to ask for something when I come here today." Seeing the abbot, Jiang Min wiped the tears from his face.

"Oh, benefactor Jiang, what's the matter that Lao Na can help?"

"My husband went hunting in the mountains in the afternoon, and he was bitten by something on his arm, and now his muscles are festering bit by bit. I went to the town to invite a few doctors, but I didn't know how to prescribe the medicine. They didn't know what happened to my husband. Something bit it." Jiang Min choked up, and said: "So, in a hurry, I think of you, Master Daoguang."

"There is such a thing, Jiang benefactor, where is your husband now?"

"It's just outside the courtyard."

Master Daoguang looked outside and couldn't see anything outside.It turned out that the young monk had closed the temple door tightly.

Perhaps, when Jiang Min first called the temple gate, the young monk thought it was a pilgrim, but when he opened it, he saw a middle-aged woman leading a group of people carrying wooden frames.

The temple has temple rules, and it is absolutely impossible to let this group of people in.

So, the little monk hurriedly closed the door, but it was still a bit late, Jiang Min barged in alone, and then a dispute broke out.

Master Daoguang understood instantly.

"Xugu, open the gate of the temple."

"Yes, master abbot." A young monk replied.

Sang Wuhen also walked down the steps slowly at this time, wanting to see what happened.

As the temple door slowly opened.

Four young strong men walked in slowly carrying a pair of wooden frames, and then gently placed them on the ground.

Lying on the wooden frame was a middle-aged man with a pale face and in great pain.

Master Daoguang and Sang Wuhen took a look.

In the middle of his right arm, there was a large piece of corroded skin, which was bleeding, dripping down to the ground bit by bit.

Master Daoguang squatted down and gently paved the man's festering place with his hands.

After watching it, he sighed and said, "Don't blame the doctor for being incompetent. Lao Na has lived for decades and still doesn't know what it was bitten by. It's very strange. I've never heard that there is such a thing in Mount Mang."

Sang Wuhen also bent down, pinched the festered area with his hands, and found that there was no hard muscle, and it was all soft.

It seems that it is slowly rotting.

What is this thing that is so powerful?Bitten by a poisonous snake?Probably not.Is there anything more poisonous than snakes in the mountains?Why didn't I find it before?Sang Wuhen thought to himself.

"Master Daoguang, is my husband hopeless?" Jiang Min cried anxiously.He knelt down involuntarily, "Please save him. If something happens to him, my child and I won't be able to survive. Please, Master, save him."

The sad voice moved everyone present.

"Benefactor Jiang, get up quickly, Lao Na has a way to save your husband." Then he turned to a young monk and said, "Xugu, go to the training room and bring a big knife."

Sang Wuhen knew what kind of method this was as soon as he heard it, but it was also the only way to keep him alive.

Master Daoguang slapped the man's forehead lightly.

The man fainted and remained motionless.

At this time, Xu Gu handed over a knife.

As soon as Master Daoguang took it, he raised his hand, and with a flash of white light, the man's right arm was cut off forcefully.

Jiang Min didn't understand, so he let out an exclamation.

At the same time, two girls in white clothes floated outside the courtyard gate.

"Shui Sheng, Miss Xia."

Sang Wuhen saw it and shouted.
