Ye Chen went to Xiangguo Temple in the afternoon. Many things should be done early rather than late.
Since he suspected that the woman Fuxia was in Xiangguo Temple, he should find out the whereabouts of that woman as soon as possible so that he could eradicate this cancer as soon as possible. Ye Chen didn't want to waste another ten years with her.
In his previous life, he was able to kill her even though he knew nothing about her. In this life, he had almost all the advantages and would definitely make sure she had no way to escape.
Black Hawk and Xing'er were forced by Chen Qiu to stay with Ye Chen. Ye Chen was worried about her, and why wasn't she worried about Ye Chen? Moreover, Ye Chen was powerless.
When Ye Chen arrived at Xiangguo Temple, he went straight to the bamboo house.
It is winter now, and the place is still the same. There is no brazier inside. It is as cold in the house as outside, but Wenxin still sits there, as if the cold or heat outside has nothing to do with her.
After Ye Chen came in, Wen Xin got straight to the point and said, "Donor, are you here for my sister?"
Ye Chen sat down and said, "Oh?" He said, "I wonder if the master has a sister? Don't monks have relatives?"
Wenxin smiled and said, "Whether it's the donor or my sister, I still have some unfinished worldly ties, so I have never dared to face the Buddha."
"Since you are here, please listen to my story. It may be of some help to you."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid that your decades of hard work will be wasted?"
"You betrayed their decades of hard work. Aren't you afraid they'll blame you when you go meet them?"
Wen Xin said, "A new dynasty has been established, and the emperor is diligent and caring for the people. It took hundreds of years for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. If I wanted to fulfill their last wish, I would not be here."
Then he asked Ye Chen: "Does the benefactor know the origin of my Buddhist name?"
Ye Chen shook his head.
Wenxin held the Buddhist beads in one hand and placed the other on his lap, saying to himself, "This Xiangguo Temple was an imperial temple in the previous dynasty."
"The previous abbot of Xiangguo Temple was my uncle. The relics he left after his death are the ones I gave you last time. I believe you have already cracked the secret within."
It turns out that the Phoenix Society was not originally called the Phoenix Society, but the Dragon Support Society, and the person it supported was Wenxin's father, the crown prince of the previous dynasty.
The crown prince of the previous dynasty, Li Sian, was the last crown prince. He moved into the Eastern Palace at the age of seven. When he was thirteen, the dynasty collapsed. He was rescued from Kyoto by a group of loyal ministers and lived in seclusion in the world.
Those people were unwilling to see the dynasty fall, so they wanted to revive the Li Dynasty, so they established the Fulong Society. Princess Duanjing was the pawn they sent out, hoping to use women to infiltrate Kyoto and provide intelligence to the Fulong Society.
However, the crown prince had no children, so they gave all their daughters to Li Sian in the hope that she would give birth to a prince, but there was no result until Wenxin was born.
When Wenxin was born, the crown prince was already in his thirties, and the only children left were Wenxin and Fuxia.
Wenxin's original name was Li Xingfu, which meant to restore the country.
Since he was a child, he has been learning how to govern the country, conduct military operations, and fight wars, from strategies to martial arts. He has also worked hard to be the best in all aspects.
But with his background, he has a most fatal weakness.
He was kind-hearted by nature. He knew what kind of path he would take in the future and that countless people would die along the way, so he had never been happy since he was old enough to understand.
Wenxin's father wanted him to be more sympathetic to the people in the future, so he sent him to a normal school. However, this made Wenxin even more conflicted.
As for his mission, what he had to do was to devote himself to restoring his country. In his heart, he saw that the people of the new country lived and worked in peace and contentment. He couldn't bear to destroy all that and felt uneasy.
To restore the Li family's kingdom, war would be provoked. The Li family would benefit while the common people would suffer.
The compassion that came from his bones drove him crazy for a time. Later, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, Wenxin's uncle, found him and took him into the Buddhist monastery.
The master asked him to ask himself three questions.
First: What crime have the people committed?
Second: What is compassion?
Third: How can the heart be happy?
Wenxin finally chose to stay at Xiangguo Temple, and because of this, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple was poisoned and assassinated. Two years later, Princess Duanjing decided to change the name of Fulong Society to Fenghuang Society and turn to supporting Princess Fuxia.
From then on, Wenxin never left Xiangguo Temple again.
Ye Chen asked: "These are of no use to me in destroying the Order of the Phoenix."
Wen Xin smiled and said, "I have all the branches of the Order of the Phoenix here. I will hand them over to you, the benefactor. I just want you to promise me one thing."
Ye Chen said: "Oh? Monks are not without desires and demands!"
Wen Xin smiled and said: "Donor, you have forgotten that this poor monk's earthly ties are not over yet!"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I wonder what you are asking for, Master?"
With sincerity, bow your head and put your hands together, saying: "Namo Amitabha"
"When you destroy the Order of the Phoenix, could you please show some mercy and spare those who are not guilty of capital crimes, and spare my sister's life?"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but Princess Fuxia has a strong temper that I can't control. I'm afraid that even if I want to let her go, she won't want to live!"
Wenxin was startled and said quickly: "I will go and persuade her when the time comes. All you need to do is protect her for two days."
Ye Chen paused and said: "I can't guarantee it. After all, your own sister knows it herself. I can only promise you not to kill her."
Wenxin didn't continue, but nodded and said, "Thank you, benefactor. This is the address of the Phoenix branch and its internal membership."
Ye Chen did not take it directly, but said: "You have been away from Fulong Society for ten years. Are you sure the information you are giving me now is still reliable?"
Wenxin said, "Don't worry, benefactor. This is the defense of the branch rudder we recently received."
Ye Chen squinted his eyes and looked at Wen Xin. After a moment, he took the paper and said, "I will keep my promise!"
The reason why Ye Chen chose to believe Wenxin was because he and Wenxin had been together day and night for eight years in his previous life.
During those eight years, he had countless opportunities to kill Ye Chen. Killing Ye Chen would stop Ye Chen's massacre of the Order of the Phoenix, but he didn't. He just sat in meditation to pray for the souls of the dead after he killed them.
He only revealed his identity when he finally caught Fu Xia, and his only purpose was to save Fu Xia's life.
When they were leaving, Wenxin suddenly said, "Fuxia is not in Kyoto. She must have gone south. I don't know where she went."
Ye Chen said, "Thank you" and left.
