Chapter 274 Letter from the Old Abbot

The person who came was none other than Huixin.

During this time, An Yunxi asked Huixin to look for the old abbot. He had been gone for several months.

The man was covered in frost and snow, then walked into the corridor and stood in front of An Yunxi.

The face under the cloak seemed to be even paler than the snow outside.

Du Shi was slightly stunned when she saw the man in front of her.

"Xier, who is this?"

Seeing this young man wearing a cloak, with white hair and eyelashes, Du Shi was somewhat curious.

Especially, even if he was so strange, this person still looked pretty good.

The superior appearance would make people look at him more.

An Yunxi thought of the name she gave him, and couldn't help but smile.

Then she introduced him to her mother: "He is my good friend, his last name is An, and his given name is Yunze."

Mrs. Du suddenly widened her eyes, and her pupils trembled.

The surprise in her eyes was beyond words.

"An Yunze?"

How could this name be so similar to the child in her family?

An Yunxi coughed, a little embarrassed.

"He didn't have a name before, so I gave him one. Mother, does it sound nice?"

After hearing An Yunxi's explanation, Mrs. Du suddenly realized.

She looked at An Yunxi with a helpless look on her face.

"You, child, you are not his parents, how can you give him a random name, really"

Just when Mrs. Du was lecturing An Yunxi, Huixin said softly: "Madam, the name is very good, I am very grateful to the princess."

Hearing that he did not object, Mrs. Du smiled.

Because of this name, Mrs. Du felt that she became particularly friendly when looking at the young man in front of her.

"You are covered in snow. Where have you been in such a weather? Go back and change your clothes first, and take a hot bath to warm yourself up. I'll ask someone to make some hot porridge for you."

Mrs. Du was accustomed to this. Seeing such a big child, she couldn't help but want to show concern.

Hearing Mrs. Du's nagging, Huixin's eyes couldn't help but flicker, and he shook his head quickly: "Madam, don't bother."

He has been traveling all year round and has encountered all kinds of bad weather, but it's just a little snow.

Moreover, he has something very important to tell An Yunxi.

"Princess, I have some clues about the person you asked me to investigate."

An Yunxi asked quickly: "Where is the old abbot?"

"I'm not sure where exactly, but I can be sure that the old abbot went to Nanqi." The answer

"Nanqi"

made An Yunxi stunned for a moment.

"What did he do in Nanqi?"

Huixin said, "Master has stayed in the temple for so many years and has never had contact with people from Nanqi. I don't know many secrets about him. Master hides them very deeply."

An Yunxi sighed softly.

"No one can see it, so it's normal that you don't know."

Huixin pursed his lips, and a trace of fatigue flashed in his light-colored pupils.

"I went back to the temple again and found a letter in the master's original secret room."

As he spoke, he took the letter out of his arms.

An Yunxi took the letter with curiosity, raised his eyes and said, "Go into the room and take a look."

The room was warmer than outside.

Huixin nodded and followed An Yunxi's steps. Du Shi also paused and followed.

The three of them entered the room together. The hot air in the room made Huixin's frozen and stiff hands and feet feel much more comfortable.

An Yunxi found that the letter had no signs of being opened.

"Haven't you read it?"

Huixin shook her head: "I want the princess to read it first."

An Yunxi was a little surprised. She never thought that Huixin would trust her so much.

"After all, this is a letter left for you by your master. It would be a bit inappropriate if I read it first."

Huixin hesitated for a moment: "We can read it together."

An Yunxi couldn't help but smile, and could only open it in front of Huixin.

The letter was not long, only a few paragraphs. The

old abbot's handwriting was very beautiful, the pen was vigorous and powerful, the handwriting was clear and neat, and it was neater and more standard than the words on some books.

At the top of the letter, there were a few words.

: My disciple Huixin has left a letter in the temple. I hope you will see it.

When seeing this sentence, Huixin's heart was obviously upset. He didn't understand why his master left Beiling and killed his senior brother Huijing for it.

An Yunxi looked at the letter from the old abbot with a serious face.

My disciple:

If you see this letter, you should know that the master has left Beiling and went to Nanqi. The journey is long and the return date is unpredictable. There are dangers everywhere.

It is uncertain whether the master can return safely. You should take care of yourself. Recently, the master can't sleep at night and feels that the "junior brother" seems to have woken up. Once he returns, the master will fall into a deep sleep and fear that you will be hurt.

Therefore, I allow you to stay by the side of the princess and live your life from now on. Don't look for the master. If you meet again in the future, you should be like a stranger and don't show mercy.

The word "Master"

An Yunxi was stunned.

She knew every word in the letter, but why couldn't she understand it?

"What does your master mean by writing this?"

Hui Xin was silent, holding the letter and fell into deep thought.

There were not many words in this letter.

But the amount of information was too much.

After a long time, Hui Xin said, "Master didn't tell me these, but I have some guesses."

An Yunxi blinked her eyes, she was really too curious.

"The old abbot did say that he had a junior brother who had done all the evil things. In this letter, he said that the junior brother was about to wake up and he was going to fall asleep. What was going on?"

Hui Xin's face became much uglier. From the clues in the past, he finally saw a truth that made him feel terrible.

"Princess, I know."

An Yunxi: ""

What do you know? How come I don't know? Tell me quickly?"

She looked at Hui Xin eagerly, but did not dare to urge her. She became more and more curious about the truth.

The old abbot was really weird.

Who killed those corpses in Liangshan Temple? Until now, the murderer has not been caught.

At that time, she suspected that it was the old abbot's doing, but the old abbot said that a monk does not tell lies.

What an old monk who never tells the truth.

She didn't believe him!

The corners of Hui Xin's lips moved, and she slowly began to explain.

"Before I was five, my master was not so kind. He would often beat me and make me take some very strange medicines."

An Yunxi's pupils trembled slightly: "Why didn't you tell me before?"

Hui Xin shook her head: "My memory when I was a child is vague. I just occasionally recall some vague images, and sometimes even regard these memories as nightmares, not real. After all, my master has always been very good to me and has never treated me harshly."

An Yunxi understood him. Before the age of five, it was normal for him to have incomplete memories when he was so young.

"Why do you mention this?"

Hui Xin pursed his thin lips, and his voice became a little dry.

"Because I think Master is weird sometimes"
