◎“Will you give me half of the wheelchair?”◎
The sound of bells in the distance kept ringing, waking up the entire Wuyin Temple from its sleep. The lights in the temple gradually came on, and footsteps could be heard outside, as if countless people were walking in one direction.
However, soon, another burst of commotion was heard from the direction where the bell sound came from, and the originally regular and rhythmic bell sound suddenly became chaotic.
"There's a night attack, be alert!"
An Jiu heard a quick cry of surprise, and then there were countless sounds of wind passing by, as if many people were leaping quickly through the air.
The darkness obscured her vision. She could only see dark shadows flashing by in her peripheral light like birds in the night.
The peaceful and harmonious Wuyin Temple suddenly became chaotic.
For a moment, An Jiu had the illusion that he was back in Golden Snake Villa. That day, Golden Snake Villa was just like that, filled with chaotic voices, shouts of fighting, and the sound of swords clashing.
But this time it was at night. She could not see any blood or killing. She could only hear short wails and smell the bloody smell coming with the mountain breeze.
Despite the experience, An Jiu still felt cold all over.
She looked at Pei Ji, who was not far away and still had a faint smile on his face, and suddenly felt a chill running down her bones.
Perhaps she would never be able to be like him, to watch others die calmly and remain calm.
"If you are scared, Miss An, you should go inside. Someone has set their sights on Wuyin Temple. As long as you don't go out, we will be fine."
The young man in white saw that she looked pale and smiled gently to comfort her.
An Jiu wanted to say, but those monks were busy.
She had seen those people during the day and had talked to quite a few of them in the past few days.
Every monk in Wuyin Temple was extremely gentle and kind. Even though she often pestered Feichen and seemed to have ulterior motives, and there were a few monks who disliked her, they had never spoken badly to her.
They also often go down the mountain to give alms and provide porridge to the poor families living at the foot of the mountain.
Wuyin Temple is a pure land, but this pure land was stained with blood that night and turned into a hunting ground for evildoers.
An Jiu was silent. She suddenly felt extremely powerless.
Because she found that she could do nothing.
Even though she seemed to be living well in front of the big villain, the current situation was the result of her painstaking efforts.
If she hadn't put herself in danger time and time again and put her whole acting skills into the film, how could she have deceived the suspicious Pei Ji and still be alive today?
Even if the favorability reaches 62, it is still not enough.
He still regarded her as an antidote, even though he cared about her unconsciously and felt jealous, he still didn't love her.
To put it another way, he might like her but not know it.
So now, she had to make him understand her feelings.
The shouting and killing continued for a long time. An Jiu was afraid that he would reveal his abnormality.
Dead
So, I hid in my room early and tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, the noise outside gradually subsided.
She heard the sound of a bird singing outside the window. The sound seemed ordinary, but An Jiu understood that it was the signal used by Qiansha Pavilion to send messages.
There were birds chirping, which meant the mission was successful.
They finally got the Bodhi seeds.
An Jiu sat on the bed in silence for a long time. She felt a little depressed, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
An Jiu is very self-aware. She can hardly save herself, let alone save others, even saving herself is difficult.
Just like the incident at Golden Snake Villa, she maneuvered for so long but only managed to save one person, Jin Yanwan. So many people died when the Demon Cult attacked, and she had no way to deal with it at all.
This time the Bodhi seeds were stolen, and she had no control over it.
She only hoped that fewer people would die. And Feichen would not end up like in the original novel.
Since the turmoil was over, An Jiu felt relieved and prepared to continue sleeping, but suddenly he heard a series of hurried footsteps.
The footsteps came straight to the courtyard where they lived. An Jiu felt a little flustered. After a while, there was a knock on the door.
An Jiu hurriedly put on his clothes and stood up. When he opened the door, he saw many monks standing outside with torches in their hands. Each of them had a blank expression and a solemn look on his face.
"Please don't blame me for disturbing you so late at night."
An Jiu had seen the leader before. He was Fei Chen's uncle who disliked her and often looked at her with a wary eye.
"The temple was attacked by thieves just now. The thieves stole the most precious treasure of Wuyin Temple. In order to search for clues, I have to search your residence. I hope you can forgive me."
An Jiu made way for him and said, "Go ahead and search."
Seeing how generous she was, the uncle's expression improved a little. He let a young monk in, who did a quick search and came out soon.
The little monk shook his head: "No."
An Jiu whispered beside him: "I was in the room the whole time and didn't go anywhere."
At this time, the people who were searching Pei Ji and Ah Qi's room also came out and said nothing.
When the uncle saw this, he wanted to leave. In fact, he didn’t think that An Jiu and the others were the ones who stole the Bodhi seeds.
After all, among the three of them, a weak woman who couldn't even tie a chicken, a miracle doctor who was unable to walk, and the only one with great martial arts skills, there was no reason for them to steal the Bodhi seeds.
When I was about to leave, another person walked in from outside the yard.
In the dark night, the snow-white robes seemed to be glowing faintly.
Fei Chen walked out of the darkness, his usually cold face now filled with grief and sorrow.
In the past few days, he has been staying by his master's side, receiving his master's teachings before his death.
Tonight, when the master was in his last moments of consciousness, he suddenly told him that he had a premonition that something big would happen in the temple that night.
Fei Chen didn't understand at that time what kind of major event could make his master look so solemn.
Until he saw with his own eyes a group of men in black breaking into his master's mourning hall and taking away the temple's most precious Bodhi seed, which was hidden in a location unknown to anyone except him and his master.
Fei Chen closed his eyes deeply, then slowly opened them, looking at the young man in white sitting in a wheelchair not far away, and said in a cold voice: "Doctor Pei, I suspect that what happened tonight is related to you. In order to find out the truth, please don't resist next."
After saying this, he turned to the monks in the courtyard and said, "Catch them and send them to the ordination hall."
Leng Ran's words rang loudly in everyone's ears, and no one expected this development.
The uncle subconsciously said: "Fei Chen, I just searched and this matter has nothing to do with them..."
"Uncle-master, I have made up my mind. Now that I am the abbot of Wuyin Temple, you still don't obey my orders?" Fei Chen's eyes were cold, without a trace of warmth.
After these words were spoken, the monks had nothing more to say.
Before Master Zhenyi died, he did hand over the position of abbot to Feichen, so he was naturally qualified to command the monks in the temple.
An Jiu stared in a daze at the white-robed monk who was standing quietly in the darkness, his expression as cold as an ice sculpture.
"Female donor, I am offended."
A low voice was heard, and her arms were tied behind her back with ropes, and she was forced forward.
When he passed by Fei Chen, his eyebrows did not move and he did not even look over at him.
Pei Ji and Ah Qi on the other side naturally received the same treatment as An Jiu.
Ah Qi was still protesting loudly, saying that they were wrongly accusing him.
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him, and soon the three of them were sent to a dark house.
The house is divided into small rooms. There is nothing in each room. When the door is closed, it becomes a confinement room.
So this is the ordination hall.
Before An Jiu could come to her senses, she was pushed into a room. Fortunately, the ropes that tied her up were untied at this time.
Seeing that the door was about to close, An Jiu hurriedly said, "Well, can I stay with Pei Ji? He can't walk and can't take care of himself. I can stay with him and take care of him..."
Fei Chen was standing at the door. Hearing this, he looked at her intently. As if he had thought of something, he said, "Let them go together."
"The servants around Dr. Pei are kept in a separate room."
An Jiu probably understood that Fei Chen just had some suspicions and was not sure that the Bodhi seeds were stolen by Pei Ji.
His main target now should be on Ah Qi.
She said, Master Zhenyi died of natural causes, and Feichen did not discover that Pei Ji had committed murder, so why could he still identify Pei Ji as a thief?
An Jiu guessed that Fei Chen was probably from the intuitive school.
An Jiuxian has seen many such people. They usually have very strong intuition and can judge who is a good person and who is a bad person by their sixth sense.
Fei Chen has a pure heart and is a pure practitioner. Perhaps the reason he discovered that something was wrong with Pei Ji in the original novel was because of his sixth sense.
Fei Chen saw through An Jiu's kindness to him as a show at first sight. Her acting skills were obvious enough to fool Pei Ji, but he was able to perfectly see through her disguise and was not affected at all.
Now that he made such a decision, thinking about it carefully, it is not surprising.
An Jiu came out of the room and was led by a little monk into the room where Pei Ji was imprisoned.
The door slowly closed behind him. Facing the slightly surprised gaze of the young man in white, An Jiu stammered, "It's a little dark here."
Those people did not take away Pei Ji's wheelchair, and he was still sitting in the wheelchair.
After the door was completely closed, the small room became very dark. It was late at night and there was almost no light.
An Jiu groped along the wall and walked cautiously towards the slightly white figure in the darkness.
His toes touched something hard. It was Pei Ji's wheelchair. An Jiu squatted down along the wall, next to the wheelchair, and sat on the ground with his knees hugged.
After sitting for a while, she seemed to finally come to her senses and asked sullenly, "Pei Ji, why do you think Master Feichen locked us up? What important things did they lose?"
"I don't know either." In the darkness, the man was silent for a moment and answered slowly.
In fact, Pei Ji was also surprised at this moment.
Feichen's move was really beyond his expectations. He didn't expect that even if he did nothing, Feichen would still suspect him.
Suddenly, the energetic voice of a young girl came to my ears: "I know you are innocent, Pei Ji, don't worry, I will plead for you. Master Feichen will not confuse right and wrong, and we will be able to get out soon."
Pei Ji was stunned for a moment, and before he could react to her rare comfort, he heard the girl's voice again.
"So, for my loyalty, can you give me half of your wheelchair? It's so hard and cold sitting on the ground."
Pei Ji: “…”
What did she think they were doing? An outing?
