Holy Monk, your benefactor is dead!

In the early morning, at three o'clock in the morning.

The overwhelming night could not cover the whiteness of the snow at all.

The "da da" sound of horseshoes running on the small roads in the suburbs of Beijing is particularly eye-catching.

"Drive... drive... 呶!"

Suddenly, the carriage stopped without warning. Li Zhi stuffed the whip in his hand into his waist, grabbed the long sword beside him, and looked around vigilantly.

"Since you're here, come out!"

"Hehehe, as expected of a man in coir raincoats, I was just discovered by you when my breath was stagnant! I advise you not to step into this muddy water. It's better to be alive than dead, what do you think?"

On the empty path, only his voice was heard but no one was there, but hearing the voice, he thought it should be Yinlian taught by Lianyin.

Li Yun opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at the gray ground outside, and said in a worried tone, "She's here, so the other two must have followed. Does brother-in-law have any countermeasures?"

"Hmph, they're just young people, just kill them. Take care of Amber for me, and I'll come as soon as I go." Li Zhi said contemptuously. The three of them followed him all the way and dared not do anything. Now that he has a helper, he feels With the odds of winning, it's just an idiot talking in sleep.

"There is a young monk here, brother-in-law don't need to worry, we will wait here and hope to return quickly."

"That's natural, hahahaha..." Li Zhi nodded with extreme confidence, turned his head and glanced at Amber lying peacefully in the carriage, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared into the lush forest beside the trail. After a while, there were sounds of fighting.

Inside the carriage, Jing Yan opened his closed eyes and looked sideways at Li Yun who was leaning on his shoulders, a trace of complexity and doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Benefactor, you clearly know that the little monk has no breath at the moment, why do you want to deceive him again?"

Li Yun didn't answer Jing Yan's question, he put down the curtain, retracted into the carriage, and looked at the amber still wrapped in ice on the ground.With a solemn expression, he took out a dagger from his pocket, and lightly brushed the tip of the dagger with his fingers, a drop of crimson blood popped out of his skin instantly, and was frozen before it could drip.

Li Yun lowered his head, took the blood into his mouth, and put the dagger in his sleeve, then turned his head, and then looked at Jing Yan, with a flash of envy in his eyes.

"My father once said that the guardian monk of the Canaan Temple only came out of the tower once in his life. I didn't believe it. Now that I saw the young monk, I was sure that my father never lied to me."

Jing Yan didn't understand, what does this have to do with Li Yun cheating Li Zhi, just about to ask again, Li Yun turned his head away, and a faint voice came.

"True and false, false and true, the enemy can't figure out our details, so they dare not attack easily, and we will have an extra chance of winning."

Jing Yan had a clear understanding, and was about to close his eyes to meditate, when he raised his hand, he saw a black thread tied around his wrist at some point, and that thread was tied by Li Yun at some point.

Jing Yan was about to untie it, but was stopped by Li Yun raising his hand.

"I'm going to the city soon, I don't want to be misunderstood by others and have the habit of breaking my sleeves, so I try to avoid skin-to-skin contact, after thinking about it, the only way is this way, seeing that you are not awake in meditation, little monk, try it yourself After a while."

"Can it work?"

"Although the limbs are a little weak, it's okay to do this and that." Li Yun looked at Jing Yan indifferently, his body moved slightly, and there was only black hair between him and Jing Yan.He spread his hand softly and shrugged his shoulders.

"That's very good." Jing Yan nodded, and was about to step back for a while, but suddenly stopped, and embraced Li Yun in his arms under Li Yun's suspicious eyes, and rushed out of the carriage, almost on the spot. After a tumbling, it stopped.

Through Jing Yan's shoulder, Li Yun could clearly see that the moment he got out of the carriage, dozens of arrow blades went straight through the carriage and shot into the mud opposite.

The horses that stopped in place, with almost no struggle, were shot to the ground, whining.The carriage fell to the ground, and the ice coffin placed in the carriage fell to the ground immediately, and it was torn apart, revealing Amber's stiff body inside.

Almost at the same time, a long howl came from the woods, and the faintly audible fighting sound disappeared instantly, and a blood-stained figure came out of the woods after a while, it was Li Zhi.

He saw Hu Po in the torn apart ice coffin at a glance, and without leaving Li Yun's eyes, he rushed to Hu Po's side, put down the long sword that was still dripping blood in his hand, and carefully lifted Hu Po's stiff body from the cracked ice. Carrying him out of the coffin and wrapping him in his arms, his tone was soft.

"Did they scare you, Amber, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Li Yun let Jing Yan help him up, he looked at the gray sky, and put his eyes on Li Zhi who was muttering to Amber.Suddenly, he leaned close to Jingyan's earlobe and asked softly, "Little monk, have they all left?"

The warm breath from the earlobe blew past, and Jing Yan couldn't help but took two steps back. In this ice-like air, Jing Yan only felt that her ears were burned by fire, hot and hot.He couldn't help swallowing, and wanted to speak, but felt his throat was dry, so he closed his mouth and nodded.

"Let's go!" As if aware of Jing Yan's embarrassment, Li Yun made an invisible smile. He grabbed Jing Yan's wrist and walked towards Li Zhi's position.

"Brother-in-law, it's all my fault for not protecting my cousin." When he got closer, Li Yun let go of Jingyan's wrist, took two steps forward, and walked in front of Li Zhi in a frivolous manner. Looking at Li Zhi, his tone was low and his attitude was sincere.

Li Yun's sudden sound interrupted Li Zhi's muttering to himself. He was about to get angry when he saw Li Yun looking behind him, his face changed suddenly and his pupils shrank.Without waiting for Li Yun to make a sound, he reflexively turned around and looked back, but there was nothing in his field of vision except for a few scattered arrows.

"Benefactor, stop!"

He was puzzled, and was about to turn around to ask, but when he heard Jing Yan's exclamation, before he had time to react, he felt a sudden pain in his heart.Li Zhi could clearly feel a sharp knife piercing his heart from his back. He turned around in disbelief while holding Amber, and watched Li Yun withdraw his hand indifferently.

Li Zhi wanted to slap Li Yun hard, but when he saw the amber in his arms, he couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear to throw the amber into the soil like this, he was afraid of hurting her.So, he chose to give up.

Li Zhi knelt down slowly in an extremely slow posture, he gently put the amber on the ground, and then turned his head to spit out a mouthful of blood held in his mouth.He propped himself on the ground with one hand, raised his head, and his face was full of puzzlement.

"why?"

This is also the question Jing Yan wants to ask, why?

Why did things turn out like this? He couldn't believe Li Yun's back. Just now, he clearly saw Li Yun took out that small dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed Li Zhi's heart precisely. superior.

He didn't even have time to react, let alone stop.

But the moment the knife went down, Jing Yan knew that his heart was broken, and Li Zhi was bound to die.

Li Yun didn't look at anyone present, he put his hands in his sleeves very naturally, only he knew that his hands were trembling slightly.

He was born in the general family, so he has seen many murders and various ways of death.

but……

This was his first murder.

He looked up at the gray sky, and the catkin-like snowflakes fluttered on Li Yun's hair, soaking into his skin, icy cold to the bone.His voice was empty and distant, but filled with hatred.

"My brother has a childhood sweetheart who is married to his fingertips. Her boudoir name is Hu Po. The two families agreed to marry after Hu Po and Ji. Because of her congenital inadequacy, Hu Po was raised in her boudoir all year round. That year when her marriage was approaching, she followed her mother to burn incense and fulfill her wish. I met a knight-errant named Li Zhi. Li Zhi fell in love with Amber at first sight, goodbye. He peeped at the boudoir at night and heard that Amber said that she did not want to get married. , the two families sent people to search around, but to no avail for several months. However, my elder brother had to go because of the urgent report at the border. Because the faint king in Beijing feared the Li family, my elder brother never returned to Beijing for decades, nor did he get married until he died in battle. "

Li Yunhu smiled softly, looked at Li Zhi, and said in a sad tone: "My brother and Hu Po's childhood sweetheart, they are in love. That day when Hu Po talked to the maidservant, she was just worried about her body, fearing that she would not be able to continue to have children for my brother after marriage. .From the beginning to the end, it was just your wishful thinking, Li Zhi."

"You lied to me, Amber loves me, she loves me! We love each other, we..." Li Zhi retorted almost hysterically, he gnashed his teeth and rushed towards Li Yun, but Li Yun dodged sideways.

Li Yun looked at Li Zhi who fell on the ground, his body began to twitch slightly, his expression was cold, and he looked at Li Zhi ironically.

"If you two are really in love, then why did you kill her! Have you forgotten? Ten years ago, my brother was passing through Penang on a highway, and Amber wanted to meet his elder brother. In a rage, you killed her Seriously injured, so that Amber died. Poor Amber died in your hand in only two decades; poor my brother's hair is gray in only [-] years old, all of this is caused by you."

Hearing this, Jingyan's face was finally stained with worldly surprise. He looked at Li Zhi in disbelief. How could such an infatuated person kill his favorite person?Could it be that all Li Zhi did was to deceive him?

Jing Yan did not raise his doubts, and Li Zhi could no longer answer his questions.

"I didn't, I didn't want to kill her! I didn't do it on purpose, Amber, Amber..." Li Zhi's voice became lower and lower, his eyes gradually became loose, and the blood under him was smudged into bright red, He was unable to explain anything anymore, he struggled to look back, in his blurred vision, Amber was lying there quietly, just as peaceful and beautiful as when he first met, he whispered Amber's words softly in his mouth name.His body gradually stiffened, and he lost his breath.

"Amitabha!"

Jing Yan sighed, walked up, and reached out to cover Li Zhi's eyes that were staring at Amber obsessively. He knocked his eyes slightly, put his hands together, and murmured.

Li Yun looked at Jing Yan's movements indifferently, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth; "Little monk, this man's crime is that you recite the Tibetan scriptures for him hundreds of times, and you can't save him."

The movements of Jing Yan's hands paused slightly, and he was even more puzzled.

"Ten years later, the county annals of Penang still clearly record: In the 27th year of Daqi, a man in a coir raincoat embraced a woman, knocked on 47 medical clinics in Penang at night, threatened the doctor to treat the woman, because the woman's heart was broken, The pulse has stopped, and no one can heal. All [-] people in [-] medical clinics were slaughtered, and only one child escaped by chance. The court was furious and sent Xiaowei to investigate the case. It was found that the case was the number one assassin in Jianghu. For this reason, the imperial court spent a lot of money to arrest this person, but in the end it was fruitless, and the case was closed. Such a person, for such a crime, should fall into Avii Hell forever, and endure the suffering of the soul forever, without reincarnation, in order to atone for his crime .Little monk, what do you think!"

Li Yun tilted his head, his clear voice could not cover up the sins between the lines, he took two steps forward, almost in front of Jing Yan, looking at his purity that had never been stained by the world, he couldn't help it There was a trace of jealousy, a trace of urge to destroy.

In today's world where people are like dogs and lives are like grass, the existence of Jingyan is like a kind of irony.

Let Li Yun can't help it, can't help but paint this cruel and mundane world little by little, all over Jing Yan's bright and pure eyes like a baby.

"Amitabha, goodness is goodness!" Li Yun's gaze was so direct that Jing Yan couldn't help but have a desire to avoid it. He took a few steps back and turned his eyes away.

Li Yun's helplessness virtually dissipated the tension of Li Yun's first murder. He watched Jing Yan standing next to him as if he had settled down, but his whole body exuded an aura of refusal to be thousands of miles away. Li Yun couldn't help but hook his lower lip slightly.

He bent down, pulled out the dagger stuck in Li Zhi's back, wiped the blade clean with Bai Xue, and carefully put it in his arms.After thinking about it, he groped around Li Zhi's chest for a while, and found a jade comb, which was obviously used by Li Zhi to tie his hair, and he put it in his arms carefully. Gift from my brother.I'm afraid no one would have thought that after going around and going around, it would end up in his own hands.

Li Yun sighed slightly sadly, looking at the snow that was getting bigger and bigger like willow catkins, then at the two people lying on the ground, and the wrecked carriage.I'm afraid it's tens of miles away from Kyoto, how can I go back to Beijing?this is a problem.

For a moment, he regretted it a little, regretting that he had at least entered Beijing before doing anything.But this thought was pinched off by Li Yun in an instant. If he hadn't noticed that Li Zhi's chaotic thinking was getting clearer and he became wary of himself, why would he have acted rashly.

After all, if there was a slight mistake, the person lying on the ground would be himself.

Li Yun stretched out his hand to pull Jingyan's cassock, and pointed helplessly at the amber covered with a thin layer of snow: "Little monk, you can bear her."

Jing Yan opened his eyes, and his snow-covered eyelashes trembled slightly. He looked at the woman on the ground and shook his head without any hesitation, "Your monk can't."

"Why not, she is dead. According to your Buddhists, she is just a body now."

Jing Yan was silent, just shook his head.

"In that case, how do we go back to Beijing?" Li Yun gave up the idea of ​​persuading Jing Yan a little decadently, and threw the question to him.

Jing Yan closed her eyes, and whispered out a word: "Wait..."

"You..." Li Yun wanted to say something more, but when he saw Jing Yan standing in the snow like an old monk, he chose to give up. When he felt powerless, he simply put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, stepped forward a few steps, and threw himself on Jing Yan's back almost like a fool, leaving only a whisper.

"Little monk, I'm tired."
