Just as the disciple reported, Yuan Fang nodded and bowed after entering.
Of course, due to Gong Linche's status, there are countless people in the world who nod and bow to him. Even the Emperor of Yan has to be polite when meeting him, so he has long been used to it. However, this Yuanfang is a little different.
.
Gong Linche had a certain impression of Yuanfang. From a distance, he looked like an eminent monk, but when he got close, he immediately turned into a coward, which was interesting.
"You're welcome, tell me, what do you want to see me for?" Gong Lince said calmly.
"Master, it's like this. I heard that the people from the Thatched Cottage are leaving Zijin Cave. The poor monks and other Nanshan Temple members have other ideas. They want to stay in Zijin Cave and continue to serve Zijin Cave." Yuan Fang cautiously hunched his waist.
, observe the other party's reaction.
"Continue to serve?" Gong Lince said coldly: "It sounds like you have served me in Zijin Cave, right? Why don't you remember me?"
Plop! Yuanfang suddenly dwarfed and knelt directly in front of Gong Lince.
This happened without any warning. Gong Lince was almost startled by him and was stunned for a moment, "Why do you do this great gift?"
Yuanfang's eyes were red, and he looked aggrieved and about to cry, "Master, the poor monk was ignorant earlier. We are a group of monks, and we are really not familiar with the world. We have been bewitched by a group of people in the thatched cottage. Now Niu has
The Tao died, the tree fell and the hozens scattered. The poor monk finally saw their ugly faces clearly and regretted so much that he was willing to throw himself into the purple cave and begged the master to give the poor monk a chance to forgive his sins." As he said this, his nose and tears came out.
I lifted my sleeves and kept wiping them, not knowing how much bitterness they contained.
Gong Lince couldn't help but stared at him for a while, then looked back and asked: "Ugly face? What's the way to have an ugly face? Let me tell you."
Yuan Fang nodded repeatedly and said sadly: "Not to mention others, just the culprit Niu Youdao, he is not a thing, he is worse than a beast! We were originally cultivating in the mountains, but he was abducted by him. A group of us eat vegetarian food
The monk who recited the Buddha's name forced us to slaughter and cook meat every day, causing us to repent in front of the Buddha day and night. He also ordered us to do various chores and serve him in food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If we were not satisfied at all, he would beat us and scold us.
His evil deeds are too numerous to describe!"
"There is also Yuan Gang, the lackey around Niu Youdao, who is even more outrageous. He has repeatedly punched and kicked the poor monk. This is not a lie, but has been witnessed by many people. The poor monk has lived a life worse than death these years.
…”
It was truly an accusation filled with blood and tears, and the Zijindong disciple on the side twitched his lips.
Gong Linche had no expression on his face and said condescendingly: "So, those people are really hateful, so why didn't you say it earlier? Don't you think it's too late now?"
Yuan Fang choked up and said: "The master has learned from the mistakes. In the past, the cattle thieves were still there and they were very powerful. The poor monks were afraid of their lustful power. In order to save the lives of the monks in the temple, they had to survive. Now that we have this good opportunity, I sincerely ask the master to take us in!"
Gong Lince put his hands behind his hands and said calmly: "Yuanfang, do you know who you just scolded? Niu Youdao, Elder Niu, he is the elder of my Zijin Cave. Is it appropriate for you to insult me like this in front of me?"
"
Yuanfang didn't know anything, and he had stayed here for a long time. Of course he knew the relationship between Niu Youdao and Zijindong. Daxiu wiped his tears and said righteously: "In front of the master, a poor monk dare not speak nonsense.
, everything he said was from the bottom of his heart, and all of it was true. To be honest with the leader, if the cow thief hadn't been so powerful before, and if he hadn't been concerned about the lives of the monks, the poor monk would have been willing to risk his life, poison the cow thief's food, and kill him.
Poison to death! Now that the punishment is retribution, it is truly a good death!"
Gong Lince raised his eyebrows and realized that this man really dared to say anything in order to defect to Zijin Cave. He really wanted to completely draw a clear line with Niu Youdao!
He was puzzled. Niu Youdao was considered a famous figure. The immeasurable fruit that so many people coveted but could not obtain could be obtained from the holy realm. Yet he unexpectedly accepted such a rip-off. This thief was considered to be by Niu Youdao's side.
After serving him for many years, Niu Youdao didn't notice it at all, so he still dared to serve him by his side?
Seeing Gong Lince, he remained silent. Yuanfang didn't know what he was thinking, and added: "The poor monk and others master the brewing method of the Thatched Cottage. They are willing to do their best for the master. I sincerely ask the master to take him in!"
Gong Lince's eyes flickered, and after pondering for a while, he asked: "Niu Youdao... Well, do the people in the Thatched Cottage agree to your leaving?"
Yuanfang said sonorously: "There is no need for the consent of the people in the thatched cottage, and they don't have the final say in Zijin Cave. The poor monk can make the decision himself."
Originally, it was Guan Fangyi who asked him to seek refuge with her out of kindness, but in order to draw a clear line and distance herself from Maolu Courtyard, he insisted that it was his own idea.
Gong Lince nodded slightly and said humbly, "Okay, I know what you mean. You can go back first."
"Master..." Yuanfang still wanted a definite answer.
Gong Linche: "You go back first and someone will make arrangements. I have other important matters and I don't have time to accompany you."
"Yes, yes, yes!" When he agreed, Yuan Fangquan beamed and kowtowed before getting up, nodding and bowing and retreating.
When no one was around, Gong Lince muttered, "What the hell!"
He turned around and said to the disciple next to him: "Did you hear clearly what he just said?"
The disciple replied: "I heard it all."
Gong Lince: "Go to the Thatched Cottage and find the matchmaker. Tell the matchmaker what he just said and let them handle it themselves."
"This..." The disciple hesitated and reminded: "Master, the method of brewing wine is a way to make money. Since this thief is willing to take the initiative, why don't we follow suit?"
Gong Lince asked in return: "What kind of money? What kind of trouble is the Qin State doing now, you can't see it? I know this matter in my heart, and I have made my own decision!"
"Yes!" The disciple accepted the order and left quickly.
There was no one around, and Gong Lince was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his hands. It wasn't that he didn't want to keep this way of making money, but that the current situation had changed and it wasn't appropriate to stay.
The reason lies in Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao even wants to take back a few birds. I am afraid that this road of wealth will not be given away easily. In short, Niu Youdao will definitely not let it go easily. There is no need to bother at this time...
In Guan Fangyi's house, Niu Youdao was giving Yuan Gang some instructions.
Later, Guan Fangyi came back after going out for a while. Niu Youdao asked: "What does Gong Lince's apprentice want from you?"
Guan Fangyi seemed to have an itchy tooth, "Yuanfang is such a bad guy. I kindly let him stay in Zijin Cave before. In order to surrender, this thief monk actually went to Gong Linche to confuse right and wrong, crying bitterly.
Nonsense..."
She recounted everything Gong Linche's disciples had said. What they reminded her was to scold Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang looked at Niu Youdao with cold eyes.
Niu Youdao raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "This old bear really can't change his habit of eating shit!"
Guan Fangyi was a little surprised, "What's the purpose of Gong Lince specifically asking his apprentice to come over and tell me this?"
Niu Youdao smiled, she didn't know, but he knew, and he could understand the meaning of White House's plan as soon as he heard it.
His current situation with Gong Lince did not allow for negligence. It was too dangerous to have someone like Yuanfang around him. Once he came into close contact, it would be easy to expose the secret that he was still alive. Gong Lince was reminding him to be careful.
Let him deal with this hidden danger.
This was not told to Guan Fangyi, but to him.
Yuan Gang spoke out, "I'll handle it."
Niu Youdao nodded slightly, but reminded him, "The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Only by allowing diversity to exist can there be room for loose adjustments. Who hasn't been scolded by others? Old Xiong has that kind of virtue. Don't be too serious."
, enough is enough!”
Yuan Gang didn't say much, turned around and left.
The corners of Guan Fangyi's mouth moved and she smiled bitterly, thinking that Yuanfang was going to be unlucky...
After a while, the sanctimonious Yuan Fang was called into Yuan Gang's yard. When he saw Yuan Gang standing upright in the courtyard with the Sanhou knife in one hand, and saw the blade shining in the sun, he immediately changed from sanctimonious to
He nodded and bowed, trotted up to him, and said in a haphazard voice: "Master Yuan, are you looking for me?"
Yuan Gang said expressionlessly: "I'm leaving soon, have you packed up over there?"
"Uh...well..." Yuanfang looked embarrassed and said cautiously: "Master Yuan, the matchmaker told me to stay in Zijin Cave."
Yuan Gang: "What if I ask you to come with us?"
Yuanfang suddenly looked confused: "Master Yuan, isn't this good? The matchmaker said that if I follow you, I will become a burden to you. Actually, what the matchmaker said makes sense. We are indeed a burden. We have been together for so many years.
I really don’t want to inconvenience you.”
Yuan Gang: "It doesn't matter. Although Master Dao is gone, I can't leave you alone."
Yuan Fang sighed: "I appreciate Master Yuan's kindness. I really don't need it. Alas, although Master Tao is gone, don't worry. I, the monks of Nanshan Temple, pray for Master Yuan every day and wish him early bliss."
!”
Yuan Gang turned the blade on the ground in his hand and said coldly: "Let's go or not!"
The sword flashed, and Yuanfang was frightened. He timidly took a step back and said loudly: "Let's go! If Master Yuan says let's go, there's no need to say anything. I'll follow you to the death without any hesitation!"
But I felt bitter in my heart. I had made an agreement with Gong Lince. If I didn't stay, wouldn't it be like playing tricks on others? I couldn't bear the anger of the dignified head of Zijin Cave! However, in the face of this man's violent temper,
He couldn't bear it at the moment, and immediately understood the situation very well, and was ready to go back and talk to the matchmaker, or inform Gong Linche to come forward in time.
Yuan Gang swung the knife in his hand, "I heard that your cultivation is getting stronger and you are invulnerable. I want to give it a try today with the knife in my hand!"
Why did this suddenly appear again? Yuanfang was shocked, stepped back and waved his hands: "Master Yuan, why is this?"
Yuan Gang: "Aren't you afraid that you will become a burden to us? I will know if you are a burden or not if you give it a try!"
Yuanfang's eyes widened, "Master Yuan, I told you to leave! Master Yuan, please don't come over. I have seen the power of your sword. You must not use it, it will kill someone!"
"Okay!" Yuan Gang stabbed the knife in his hand, and it struck the ground with a clang. The man flashed out like a gust of wind. Taking advantage of his running momentum, he spun around and shot out with one leg, as fast as a phantom.
Boom! Yuanfang screamed "Ah" and flew out like a meteor. The courtyard wall was knocked over with a roar and was submerged in the flying dust.
