Jing Yuan's eyes were fixed on the corpse of the man in black on the ground, and then he looked at Gu Qingsheng who was still soaking in the river and was seriously injured. Then he said to Chu Zhiyao quietly:
"General Chu, Buddhism is a pure land. Killing is not right, and killing people is even more wrong."
When she said the last few words, she seemed to feel a very strong pressure, not knowing whether it was Gu Qingsheng's illusion.
Then he looked at Chu Zhiyao, and sure enough.
Chu Zhiyao's face was very dark. This pressure was not an illusion.
Jingyuan's strength is unfathomable.
"Master Jingyuan may have misunderstood."
Chu Zhiyao bowed to Jingyuan and continued to say polite words.
"It was because this man in black chased the princess, and I rescued her."
"That's why I accidentally killed someone. Everything happened unexpectedly."
Even though Jing Yuan caught him hurting Gu Qingsheng, Chu Zhiyao still lied.
He expected Jingyuan to give him a way out.
He came with the queen to protect the lives of these women, so his reason was foolproof.
Jingyuan is well-known for his innocence in Luofo Temple. He is definitely not a righteous person and will definitely turn a blind eye to this matter.
Not only Chu Zhiyao thought of this, but Gu Qingsheng also thought of it.
Although he didn't see Xu Qingyi, at least his life was saved.
"So that's how it is."
Jingyuan's answer was exactly as they expected, and then she said
"Then, General Chu was too hasty in saving people. The compassionate Buddha will naturally forgive you."
Just when Chu Zhiyao thought he could escape unscathed, Jingyuan said
"However, General Chu has been stained with blood in a Buddhist temple. To prevent General Chu from being attacked by resentment, please follow my instructions and avoid being hurt."
"First, at noon tomorrow, General Chu, please come to the backyard and I will personally cleanse you."
"Secondly, General Chu smells too much of blood, and it's not suitable for him to walk around in Luofo Temple for too long. For the time being, please stay in your room and copy the Diamond Sutra fifty times a day to achieve a calming and nourishing effect."
"Third, the princess is already weak due to her weak blood and qi. General Chu's murderous aura is too strong, so it is not suitable for him to be close to the princess. I will report this matter to the Queen. Please do not approach the princess in the near future."
One by one, as if they had been laid out long ago, Jing Yuan stated these conditions to Chu Zhiyao with great familiarity.
Chu Zhiyao listened patiently, but anger was already evident in his brow.
"No more?"
"No, General Chu."
Jing Yuan said.
"Master Jingyuan, I am a general and I only obey the orders of the Emperor. So unfortunately, I am unable to fulfill what Master Jingyuan said, even though I am willing.
Chu Zhiyao didn't take Jing Yuan's words seriously at all. In his eyes, this old man was in cahoots with Xu Qingyi. After all, he was Xu Qingyi's master, and Xu Qingyi valued Gu Qingsheng very much, so the old man was standing up for Gu Qingsheng.
"In that case, I won't force you."
"However, I have already warned General Chu about these things. General Chu is now very susceptible to attracting disease due to his physical condition."
"General Chu is strong and healthy, so he's probably fine. However, if General Chu moves around and infects the Queen, we at Luofo Temple will not be responsible for such a thing."
Obviously, Jing Yuan's words had been calm and without any other emotions from the beginning to the end, but Chu Zhiyao heard a threat in them.
He narrowed his eyes, which were full of danger. A cold light flashed in his eyes when he looked at Jingyuan, but the coldness was fleeting, and then he regained his relaxed demeanor.
"Although I really want to say that Master Jingyuan is making a fuss over nothing, since this is the rule of Luofo Temple, I would be disrespecting Buddhism if I don't follow it."
Turning around to look at Gu Qingsheng who was unable to move, Chu Zhiyao had a half-smile on his face.
"Master Jingyuan has already brought the Queen out, so let's do as Master says."
He put on his inner garment, which was thin and light, revealing his strong muscles and skin. He stepped out of the water with a very smooth sound. Chu Zhiyao waved his hand as he passed by Jingyuan.
"See you tomorrow, Master Jingyuan, and more."
"Princess."
Under the moonlight, the spring water had already appeared blood-red.
Jingyuan was standing at the edge of the spring, looking at Gu Qingsheng quietly.
Her blood was flowing wildly, her head was dizzy, and with almost the last bit of consciousness, Gu Qingsheng said
"Xu...Qingyi...where is she..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, the water poured into her mouth.
Somehow, there was more compassion in Jingyuan's eyes when she looked at her.
"I will take you back to heal your wounds first."
"Where is Xu Qingyi..."
Gu Qingsheng asked again.
But after asking this question, her eyelids could no longer bear the heaviness and slowly drooped.
…
On the second day, the entire Luofo Temple was in chaos because of the bloody spring water and the body of the man in black. Jing Yuan and Chu Zhiyao did not reveal a single thing about what happened last night.
Gu Qingsheng's injuries were not serious. It was just that some collisions caused the wound on her back to split, and she fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.
After coming back last night, Jingyuan didn't know what kind of elixir she fed herself, and she called Bailu to bandage her wound. Today's wound healed unusually quickly and it was not as painful anymore.
The incident involving the men in black was neither a big deal nor a small one. When Gu Qingsheng woke up in the afternoon, the commotion was no longer that big.
Bai Lu probably went to the front yard to help prepare the meal, so Gu Qingsheng was unusually quiet when he woke up.
If it weren't for the wound on her back, she would have rushed to Xu Qingyi's room right now to find out what happened at the bottom of the cliff.
He sighed and stroked the black ocarina around his neck, but felt something unfair.
Only then did I realize that there were some blood clots on the ocarina because of what happened last night.
She immediately rushed to look for a handkerchief, but because she was not very comfortable moving, she could only find one on the nearest small table.
That was Xu Qingyi's handkerchief. He had given her two, but she didn't return any of them.
It still had the scent of Xu Qingyi on it.
Gu Qingsheng sighed inwardly and wiped the ocarina with a handkerchief, but the blood clots did not move at all, which made her use more strength.
Unexpectedly, before I had wiped it a few times, the ocarina in my hand suddenly seemed to vibrate.
The feeling in his palm was even more obvious. Gu Qingsheng was stunned for a moment, and a distressed voice sounded beside his ear.
"You haven't called me up in a long time. What's the matter? Is there something you want to ask of me, or have you encountered a problem on the way to pursuing a girl and need my help?"
