[Jian San] Innocent, pitiful, but scum

"What? More than one book?" Xuanzheng opened one eye because of this, "Could it be that the little benefactor is just... someone else who actually stole the book?"

"Ah... old! The old monk is useless!" Reading something from these news, Xuanzheng had a premonition that the martial arts world would cause waves again, but he let go of his mind in a second, "I don't know another secret book yes?"

Someone answered him.

"—It just happened to have something to do with that 'day'!" Xuanzheng frowned because of this, which was something he didn't do when facing Chu Qiu. only……"

"That's it, that's it!"

"All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and lightning, and should be viewed as such. The world has been peaceful for a long time, and it is inevitable to think about it this time."

"All dharmas arise due to karma, and all dharmas die due to karma. It's just that Dao Li and that little benefactor may become entangled..."

"The favorability of the target has reached 'Life and Death (900)', the progress of the main line is 90%"

"The host status has been detected, and Phoenix Gu has been used. Do you want to settle the current main line reward?"

"no."

The theft of the Buddhist scriptures Pavilion was spread to the Jianghu martial arts under the investigation of various forces.

All the major sects and even scattered people knew the news that a woman had successfully stolen the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, but they also knew her fate - she was killed on the spot by Shaolin monks.

For a while, although the news of the theft spread widely, everyone with a discerning eye knew that it would not have a big impact on Shaolin.

On the surface, Shaolin's status in the arena has been shaken, but in fact the accumulated prestige has not been lost.Because Shaolin finally protected the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and punished the book thieves.

After this incident, those who spied on the Shaolin Temple learned to restrain themselves.They all thought that the woman belonged to the opponent's faction, but they failed in the end, so they withdrew their minions more cautiously, and secretly decided that they would not attack until they were fully prepared.

In Shaolin Temple, the temporary chaos gradually subsided.

The only abnormal or worrying thing is Dao Li.

In fact, Dao Li's search failed that day.

When he came to the cliff where Chu Qiu fell, he only saw a large amount of blood left behind, but no one was there.In addition to this pool of blood, there were also dragged blood stains, which extended intermittently to the river, dyed the flowers and plants on the bank red, and finally disappeared into the river.

Perhaps Chu Qiu did not die on the spot, so he left with his internally injured body.But with that kind of injury, unless someone else rescues him, he won't last until dawn.

Based on how he got along with Chu Qiu in the past month, Dao Li naturally felt that she had no one to take care of her, but this also meant that Chu Qiu was in danger and the possibility of surviving was even smaller.

Live without seeing a person, dead without seeing a corpse.

Xuanzheng thought that Dao Li would be depressed for a period of time, but unexpectedly found that Dao Li was not only not sad, but also restored to the orderly way he used to be.

As a big brother, Dao Li directed his juniors and fellow disciples to quell the turmoil. After Xuanzheng secretly mentioned everything and Shaolin Temple returned to calm, Dao Li also resumed his original painstaking study and devoted himself to Buddha.

Xuanzheng understood that this kind of calmness was unusual, or it was precisely because of this that Dao Li worried him even more.

But if you ask about Dao Li, you can only get the answer "Abbot, Dao Li is fine".

Another day's class was over, Dao Li bowed and retreated after completing his homework. He avoided the crowd along the way and followed the path to the woods in the back mountain.

The woods are still the same, and there are still marks left by him playing the flute upside down on the stone table.But now, when Dao Li sat on the stone chair, he could no longer hear the little girl's lively voice, and couldn't see the little girl laughing carelessly at him.

The broken Sengdu flute was repaired by Dao Li. He stared at the Sengdu flute he put on the stone table in a daze. There was a silver petal ornament beside it, which was the only one left by Chu Qiu. s things.

Not mentioning Xuanzheng, Dao Li was also surprised that he was so indifferent.Except for the panic when he saw Chu Qiu jumping off the cliff, his heart was as still as water.Afterwards, he found out that Chu Qiusheng's chances of surviving were low, and he accepted the result calmly.

For Dao Li, who was often accompanied by the ancient Qingdeng Buddha, meeting Chu Qiu was undoubtedly an accident in his life, and the ending after they got acquainted was more like some bad joke.Dao Li couldn't think through it. At this moment, he was calm because he saw through the parting, or he didn't take Chu Qiu seriously from the beginning to the end.

Dao Li still had difficulty concentrating when repairing the Sengdu flute, but now that it has been repaired, he can take these "relics" lightly.

"Fate arises and ends, fate gathers and fate disperses, everything is God's will...Aqiu, is this also God's will?" Dao Li lowered his eyes and said to himself, "Is my calmness at this moment also God's will? Or... ..."

"That momentary gaffe was just an illusion of self-satisfaction?"

The woods were silent, and no one could answer his question.

"But obviously calm as usual, why can't I forget you?"

The wind passed through the woods, bringing rhythmic rustling sounds, and the Sengdu flute placed on the table also rolled to the edge of the stone table because of the wind.Dao Li fell into deep thought and didn't pay attention for a while, until the flute fell tremblingly, Dao Li came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to catch it.

"Bang--" the flute still landed on the grass.

Dao Li was silent for a moment, then bent down to pick it up, the joint between the gourd and the flute was broken, Dao Li wondered if he would have to save time this time to repair the flute, but when he picked it up, he caught a glimpse of a colored hole on the joint. corner.

After hesitating for a while, Dao Li put the flute back on the table, and pulled out the colored paper stuck between the gourd and the flute.

The very familiar thing is the paper heart that Dao Li didn't take.

Seeing this paper love heart again now, he lost the panic he had before.When Dao Li calmed down to look at the paper hearts, he finally discovered a mystery that he hadn't discovered before.

What was written on the paper may have been stored for a long time, and the black ink mark faintly leaked through the paper.

Dao Li gradually unwrapped the paper hearts, and saw crooked brush characters crowded together, not at the level that a ten-year-old child should have, but more like a toddler who has just learned to write.

Remembering that Chu Qiu is from the Miao people, and his martial arts are powerful, it is only human nature to have both civil and military skills, Dao Li focused on the words written on the paper.

"The wind blows and the flag moves, is it the wind or the flag? 』

Suddenly thinking of the expression on Chu Qiu handing him the paper heart that day, and remembering her complicated eyes when she jumped off the cliff, and that "like", Dao Li felt a belated dull pain in his heart.

"It's not the wind, it's not the flag—"

"—It's my heart."

"The favorability of the target has reached 'Life and Death (1000)', the progress of the main line is 100%"

"Automatic settlement main line reward: experience 5000, gold 100, a weapon 'Chaotic Silver Drunken Moon'."

"World mission: Get 1 points to get a new life, mission progress: 1000/10000"

"The new main mission has been triggered."

"Trigger the main task: get the favor of '??' (0/1000)"

"The side missions have not been unlocked yet, please the host to explore by himself."

Chu Qiu, who had been sitting on the treetop, silently listened to the system's routine report.She looked up to the mountain—there is the Shaolin Temple of Nuo Da, which is also the place she left not long ago—but she only saw a piece of emerald green, and suddenly laughed lightly as if mocking herself.

She thought indifferently that it was worthwhile for her to wait here for an extra month, Dao Li still triggered what she left behind.

But she is not happy.

"Detected a new map, did you find the new map?"

Sighing, Chu Qiu smiled again.

"Yes."

"Abbot, disciple Daoli, would like to go down the mountain to practice."

"The old monk gave you Daoli No. [-], which originally meant 'one is eternal, and the Dharma is transparent'. I didn't expect you to still have this kind of heart calamity, and you voluntarily returned to the mundane world." After reciting the Dharma, he did not stop Dao Li, "Do you know... Even if you go down the mountain, you may not be able to find the benefactor? Not to mention whether..."

"Before finding her, the disciple believed that she was still alive." Dao Li replied, "If we keep looking for her, we will meet one day."

"Bad fate."

"Even if it's evil, so what? The disciple has already thought clearly."

"...Forget it, let you go." Xuanzheng said secretly, "Everything has its own destiny, don't force it. Even if you go down the mountain, don't forget your oath."

"Yes, disciple, keep that in mind."

Chu Qiu woke up from the memory, and felt the too quiet atmosphere around him before opening his eyes.

One of the benefits of inheriting martial arts is clear eyesight. Chu Qiu can feel that there are only her and another living person within a hundred meters.And another person stood in front of her.

Chu Qiu changed his mind about moving, and opened his eyes directly, meeting another pair of eyes of a different color.

To fight or to flee?

Thoughts were fleeting, and when she realized that the other party had no good intentions, she decisively dissipated the accumulated internal strength, stretched out her hand towards the man, and said with a silly smile, "Hug."

The original murderous look of the other party paused, it seemed that it was doubt or something else, and the scimitar in his hand stopped swinging.

Chu Qiu saw the other party's facial features, which were much more profound than that of the Han people, and the ragged military uniform, so he didn't know that this was a Mingjiao brother.

"Target person: Lu Zhao, unlocked"

"Hehe, it's a coincidence that this brother Meow is the next mission. ”Chu Qiu thought so in his heart, with a silly smile on his face. There was only Wugou’s innocence in his pure black eyes, which was clearer than the thick darkness in Brother Miao’s eyes. irrelevant location. 』

"Meow, hug~"

Seeing that Lu Zhao didn't respond, Chu Qiu leaned forward again, and subconsciously read the nickname for Brother Miao in the game.She just felt bad, but at this moment she noticed that something was wrong with her state.

Originally, she was revived due to the Phoenix Gu, and her internal injuries have long since disappeared. After a month, she has washed her body clean, and her external injuries have disappeared.
