Zen Master Zu'an is a very personable person. Before he violated the precepts, he had a personable demeanor. At first glance, he seemed to be a refined, easy-going and good monk.
After the two sides decided on a plan, Zen Master Zu An changed his clothes, sneaked to a place near the Chu family compound, rented a guest room, and stayed there.
"That Taoist priest is insidious and cunning, and we have not been able to catch him so far."
"If we want to catch him by the tail, we must not be careless."
"Pay attention to every detail."
"Hit the snake seven inches, and when you scold someone, you have to use short curses to hit their sore spots and make people's blood surge and cause them to behave improperly."
Zen Master Zu'an's words are very reasonable, and Chu Qianqiu naturally follows what is good.
Both of them are veterans of Yin people, and their communication was like meeting an old friend in a foreign country, and they wanted to have a drink on the spot.
After reaching a consensus in this regard, Chu Qianqiu once again waited and waited.
He has always been very patient, constantly looking for the enemy's weaknesses until the enemy arrives.
The problem now is that on this thunderstorm day, heavy rain poured down, but the Yi Dao people still did not show up.
"Could he be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? Why don't you come out like this?"
"Where did we leak the secret?"
Chu Qianqiu gritted his teeth and cursed.
Although the two of them had never met, they hated each other especially because he, the rabbit, refused to bump into the tree trunk and let Chu Qianqiu take advantage of it.
I've prepared all the traps, but this prey didn't fall for it. It's so annoying.
"The enemy is cunning, don't expect the other party to do stupid things."
"It is certainly good to use your subordinates to test and use yourself as bait to lead the Yidao people to fight."
"But the other party may not necessarily fall into the trap. Maybe it's a whim, or someone secretly tipped off the information."
"If the masters of martial arts were so easy to surround and kill, the imperial court would not be so willing to compromise."
Zen Master Zu An shook his head and said.
It is very dangerous to force a martial arts master to a corner. If you are not sure of killing the opponent, don't do such a thing.
"Perhaps we can be more bold and cut to the scene of the eucalyptus discovery."
Chu Qianqiu pondered for a moment. At least Mu Liangmin's murder was a high probability event.
Calculating the time yourself and following Tian Yu seems to be a feasible method.
"The scene of the eucalyptus discovery?" Zen Master Zu An asked puzzledly.
"Ahem, I'm talking about our next cooperation."
"Naturally, as long as the Shenwei Army remains peaceful, we will have a long period of cooperation." Zen Master Zu An said meaningfully.
The political stance of Wanshou Temple is also very clear, and even this middle-aged monk remains extremely sober.
They do not want to see an endless war, especially in the context of the continuous resurgence of the power of Buddhas and demons. The power of the court is still the most useful tool, the tool they use to suppress Buddhas and demons and the decline of the world.
Or to put it another way, they will support whoever is more helpful in helping the Maha Temple deal with Buddhas and demons.
"I believe our friendship will last forever."
Chu Qianqiu replied equally meaningfully, and the two waved goodbye after the heavy rain and when the sky just cleared.
After that, Chu Qianqiu saved the spiritual imprints of the two treasure weapons and started the cycle again.
I don't believe I can't catch you.
The tenth cycle——
"Xiaoyang, if the eldest princess comes, tell her that I want something that is not available on the market as an apology gift."
"The same goes for the remaining two requirements."
Chu Qianqiu will not easily end the cycle before draining the eldest princess's treasure.
So he told Yang Guang very calmly.
"Wait a minute, sir, aren't you going to meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in person?" Yang Guang was a little dumbfounded.
"Do not have time."
"ah?"
"Don't worry, the eldest princess won't care."
Chu Qianqiu smiled and said, he had seen everything he needed to see. After receiving her so many times, he had probably figured out what the eldest princess was thinking. This little offense was nothing at all.
Then Chu Qianqiu waved his hand and went to Wanshou Temple again, preparing to repeat the method of finding Fujiuduo.
Mu Liangmin explored the way in front, Tian Yu followed Mu Liangmin, and Chu Qianqiu and Zen Master Zu An followed Tian Yu.
The reason for not inviting Zen Master Zu Yuan this time was the same. They were worried that Zen Master Zu Yuan would give Yi Dao people a strong sense of crisis and cause them to run away in advance.
The perception ability of any martial arts master cannot be underestimated. They can always sense danger in advance, avoid it, and make the encirclement and killing operations fail.
As for why we have to pull people together and fight in groups, why do we have to fight one on one?
No matter how strong your martial arts skills are, personal heroism is still undesirable.
"Namo Amitabha."
"Zen Master Zu'an, let's go."
Shangjing, mass grave
This is not a sunny place. Even on bright sunny days, it always contains a certain amount of moisture. The temperature is always four to five degrees lower than other places, making it appear extremely hazy and humid.
Although countless civilians are buried here, almost no one comes here to worship because there are too many people who died and too many bones are buried.
The city of Shangjing is filled with landless peasants who flock here to work as coolies. They do the cheapest and most dangerous jobs and have never shared any of the glory of going to Beijing.
They shed all their blood and tears for this city, but in the end they were buried here.
Some well-meaning nobles once invited eminent monks from Wanshou Temple to come here to perform some rituals and save a wave of souls, but there were too many people buried here.
The extra corpses that have to be processed in Beijing every year can almost pile up a big mountain.
Mu Liangmin walked furtively on this mass grave, fearing that a ghost would suddenly appear and eat him.
"Eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, it's not that I don't want to save you, it's just that I can't do this job."
"When I become an official in the future and get promoted and become rich, I will invite the eminent monks from Wanshou Temple to perform rituals for you."
Namu Liangmin was chanting and comforting himself.
There is usually no one on the mass graves. Even the farmers who carry the bodies out quickly dig a hole, bury the bodies hastily, and then leave quickly.
Therefore, no matter what Mu Liangmin said or did, he could not attract the attention of outsiders.
It just made Tian Yu, who was following behind, frown.
She really didn't understand why the master would arrange for such an incompetent thief.
It's a pity that Tian Yu doesn't know that Mu Liangmin is one of the five rats in Jiangzhou. He may not be good at martial arts, but he must be smart as a person.
That's why this poor man deliberately talked to himself when he came to the mass grave.
After walking more than half of the journey, the sky suddenly changed. Dark clouds gathered over the mass graves quickly, causing Mu Liangmin's expression to change and he screamed.
"Oops, it's going to rain."
Immediately afterwards, Mu Liangmin seemed to be looking for a place to take shelter from the rain. The pigs rushed forward suddenly on the mass grave, and he was quite skillful in driving away the cicadas with eight steps.
Mu Liangmin ran forward and finally found a Taoist temple when it was raining heavily.
Taoist temple, is there a Taoist temple here?
Just when Mu Liangmin was about to call someone, a Taoist priest's singing came to his ears.
"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
Along with this sound of blessing, thunder fell from the sky.
