The monk who is going to cross me is bent

The monk walked out of the temple gate, frowning, not because of his complex feelings about Chi Wang and not knowing how to get along with him at this time, but because of an invisible storm that was coming.

The surface of the lake is sparkling, but the bottom of the lake is already surging. All the calm and calm are just temporary appearances.

After Chi Wang recovered, he had no time to delay, but before he left, he still reluctantly stopped, looked back at the person he was thinking about in the center of the temple, and sighed silently.

It would be embarrassing to say anything at this time, it is better to leave and let each other calm down, let this matter go, and then have a good talk with him.

But the gentle wind from Xiyan Pass came to Chi Wang's whisper, which made him stop.

"Zhuang Yan, are you still blaming me? Even now, are you still unwilling to have anything to do with me?" He knelt and sat, even his voice fell into the dust on the ground, in a chaotic mess , Confid his heart softly.

Chi Wang said in a daze: "I was in the tea garden on the outskirts of the city, and I just wanted to see you for the last time before I died. I have been waiting for you, but I never expected..."

"I waited for so long, until my body began to recover slowly, I was so happy that I thought that after I recovered, I would be able to go out to find you, but..."

Thinking about the past, Chi Wang couldn't continue. He clenched his fists against his knees, so that his trembling voice could speak normally, "...but waited, the news that you became a monk!"

He looked at Zian's generous back, and said sadly, "Tell me, why? You are a military lord in Jiangbei, you have thousands of soldiers and endless money and power, why do you want to become a monk!?"

why?

Chi Wang thought about it for 700 years and read so many Buddhist scriptures, but he still didn't believe or understand his choice.

The old man stepped out of the world of mortals gracefully, and was always accompanied by the ancient Buddha with blue lanterns, leaving only a bewildered mortal body, stumbled and stumbled in the world, dull and unaware.

Zi'an, who turned his back to Chi Wang, took a deep breath, he could no longer listen.

He didn't dare to look back, but his expression was sad, "Xiaochi, you've been walking for so long, and you're only one step away... the moment you successfully walk over, you will know everything you want to know."

Chi Wang got up and chased him out, "Don't go! Come back—tell me clearly!"

But Chi Wang is destined not to wait for the answer today.

Zian was determined to leave.

Xiyanguan is wind-blown grass and waves, the wilderness is quiet, and there is no one around.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but Chi Wang felt that he was unbearably cold.He walked out of the temple in a daze, and called out in a daze: "Sandstone."

Sandstone's voice sounded flatly, "Hi Xiaochi, forgive me for having to leave you now. I have to investigate a very important matter, so I can't be with you for the time being. When I detect that you have abnormal conditions, I will Come back immediately, but during the time I can't protect you, I suggest you go back to Mu Beixi's tomb, where your safety can be guaranteed."

Go back to that cold tomb?Go back to the dark place underground?

Chi Wang unexpectedly didn't have any objection to this proposal, he just wanted to find a place where he could hide himself quietly, and then take a long sleep, maybe when he opened his eyes again, it would be 100 Years go by, and so will this.

He finally found a purpose to support his progress in a daze, like a traveler who found an oasis in the desert, he almost couldn't wait to set off from Xiyan Pass and return.

half a month later.

More than ten days passed quickly, but only a very small number of people with the most information could vigilantly notice that the sky was about to change.

The city ban in the imperial capital at night was broken open for one person.

It was the eldest princess Fang Xun who came back from the crazy rush all the way from Xiyan Pass. She didn't even bring a guard by her side, and she rode alone on the horse, and she didn't stop until she was in front of Bufu.

Probably because of being too exhausted, Fang Xun staggered when he got off his horse.

The guards at the gate of the Bu Mansion had already recognized the woman who was almost a beggar with a disheveled head, and she was actually the princess with an incomparably noble status. Everyone was terrified, and they urged people to invite Bu Ran who hadn't rested yet. While welcoming Fang Xun into the mansion.

Buran got the news and ran out barefoot, "Sister Xun...why did you come back suddenly?"

When they parted more than a month ago, they had a quarrel and broke up, but now that Fang Xun suddenly appeared back in the imperial capital and in her mansion again, the surprise overwhelmed everything, and there was only excitement and joy in her heart.

But when he saw the person in front of him, the smile on the corner of Buran's mouth stopped without a trace, "Sister Xun——!"

Fang Xun pulled his greasy hair aside, revealing a dusty face.She stared at Buran quietly for a moment under the dim light, and then said: "If I wasn't so dirty now, I really want to hug you."

Bu Ran had never seen Fang Xun in such a state of embarrassment, she frowned immediately, and said, "Go boil the water, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you wait for the eldest princess to take a bath!"

"I don't want others to serve you... just come in, I have something to say to you."

Bu Ran met her eyes, confirmed her meaning, and immediately changed her words: "The things are ready, and they will be delivered directly to my room!"

Fang Xun walked in, but still didn't forget to turn around and tell, "Ranran put on your shoes."

As the head of the family, Bu Ran first dispatched the Bu family members who had heard the news and came to salute the eldest princess in the mansion, and then sent people to the palace to report the news to the aunt. He also took the talisman in his hand and transferred the guards of the Imperial Capital to enter the Bu Mansion to protect the eldest princess.

After finishing all this, the hot water and new clothes were ready, Buran drove away everyone, closed the door with his own hands, and walked to the steamy bathtub.

Fang Xun had already buried her body in the tub, with her arms lying on the edge of the tub, her chin resting on her folded hands, her hair seemed to have just been soaked in water and was still dripping into the tub.

Bu Ran moved a stool, sat next to her tub, picked up her knotted hair, and helped her smooth it out little by little.

"Sister Xun, what happened? I've never seen you looking so lost." Bu Ran concentrated on her hair, "Speak slowly, I'm here, don't panic."

Fang Xun said blankly: "I haven't slept in the past few days, and I have been on my way day and night, just to get back to you...Ranran, tell me, why did we come to this world, and then do so many inexplicable things?" What about the mission?"

Buran's hand stopped, "Sister Xun, did you find something?"

"To be rich in the world, to be the supreme martial artist, to be enthroned as emperor... What is the ultimate goal of what we are going to do?" Fang Xun said in a daze, "We have achieved a greater proportion in these fields, and the opponent that Weita wants us to replace Who has it been? Over the years, we have vaguely touched the edge...but we have not been able to grasp the core answer."

"I've always had a premonition... Knowing these things is never easy." Fang Xun's voice began to tremble, "Until I saw a painting in the ancient tomb that I accidentally dug out when I was building an aqueduct at Xiyan Pass... ...at last, at last..."

Seeing Buran's puzzled expression, Fang Xun took a deep breath before revealing the horrifying truth, "The painting has been buried for more than 700 years, and there is no possibility of forgery, and the person in the painting is actually ...It's Doctor Koike!"

Buran quickly calmed down, "Sister Xun, maybe it's just someone similar? The similar appearance doesn't mean..."

Fang Xun screamed: "It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong! The moment I saw that painting, Weita issued me a new main task - she asked me to help clear the superbug numbered Y000, then The bug is Chi Wang!"

The news was too shocking. Seeing Fang Xun's reaction, Buran already knew that she was not joking.

"But the scariest... the scariest thing is not that he is an immortal monster, but... that monk's reaction!"

Fang Xun's unresolved shock, which he tried so hard to hide, finally broke out in front of the most trusted person, "He has always known all this! He has always known! As I said earlier, he has some fetters with Dr. Xiaochi. I saw him personally Dr. Xiaochi was taken away, it was he who destroyed the painting... Ranran! Who are we facing! What is Weita using us for?"

After a daze, Buran watched Fang Xun shed tears of fear, "Do you know why I didn't even dare to sleep all the way, and rushed back with all my life? It's because I knew what the monk was going to do." ..."

"Do you still remember the list of martial arts masters three years ago? Zian visited one of the celebrities on the list who lived in seclusion in Xiyanguan for many years, but after the monk left, the celebrity fell into a coma without any reason. A good doctor, but so far there is no cure!"

Fang Xun tremblingly said: "Then the next one is Master Guxu, the head of the Buddhist sect... Didn't they all say that Master Guxu is Zi'an's master? But he just went back to the Buddhist temple and met Master Guxu, The head of the Buddhist sect fell into the same situation."

"I, I'm in the imperial capital, why haven't I received any news..." Before Bu Ran finished speaking, suddenly her hands and feet felt cold and she wanted to understand the reason - because Fang Xun came back faster than her news. be quick.

"The monk acts according to the ranking list of martial arts masters. I am the third, I am the third... the next, the next one will be me!" He changed his appearance, "What is he doing? The progress of Weita's reconnection has reached 72%. In disconnection mode, if we die here, we will never go back... I know so much, Will he kill me?"

Bu Ran got up suddenly, and hurriedly said: "I'll go... I'll transfer people, no! We will enter the palace immediately, there are strict guards in the palace, and the palace is the safest place now..."

"It's useless, Ranran." Fang Xun wiped away the tears on his face, "With his martial arts, entering the palace is like visiting his own backyard. No matter how many people protect us, it still can't stop him from coming and going freely."

"Top ten...the top ten experts?" Bu Ran was stunned, and said anxiously, "Master Fengyunzheng, Liuliu...yes, and Fangliu! He must also stay with us! I will call people..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a voice outside.

"My lord," the maid outside the house gently knocked on the door, "There is a monk outside the mansion... who calls himself Dharma name Zi'an, and is begging to see you and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess outside."
