Chapter 120 Brother Seven is possessed by a ghost!
Wu Leyong walked into the Buddhist temple without paying attention. Every move he made was filled with the radiance of Buddha's nature, as if he had seen through the mundane world.
"The old abbot of our temple insisted that he had received a vision from the God of Poverty in his dream, which saved him from a disaster. So he moved the original Buddha statue away and replaced it with a statue of the God of Poverty."
His voice was slow and low, as if he was really telling about his past experiences: "Please forgive me, benefactors."
Wu Leyong walked to the stone statue of the God of Poverty, bowed down, and then turned around and said to the people: "However, since you have come all the way here, if you have any questions in your mind, I, a poor monk, may be able to answer some of them for you."
Jiang Yingcheng looked up at the several secret guards who had surrounded him, and his sense of security was instantly boosted.
She asked timidly, "Really?"
Jiang Yingcheng was facing away from the door at this moment. The bright and warm afternoon sun shone through the gaps between the people and hit her, as if casting a circle of pure white and holy light around her.
Makes her look extremely innocent.
But her inner voice was the opposite of her outer appearance: [See if Chengcheng will be fooled by him! ]
Jiang Tinghuai simply recalled all the sad things in his life in his mind, along with the sorrow of dying young in the future, and only then did he manage to suppress the upturned corners of his lips.
However——
He glanced calmly at the visitor.
Wu Leyong's appearance this time was even more refined than before. His coarse monk robe was covered with traces of weathering, and the six scars on his head were neatly arranged, and they actually looked as if they had been permed on a long time ago.
This person must have come back from a distance immediately after escaping, and changed into disguise before they came in. His purpose was to confirm once more whether the news he just heard was true.
Even though the news came from the mouth of a three-year-old child.
"Monks do not tell lies." Wu Leyong replied.
"Chengcheng just accidentally told the family secret," Jiang Yingcheng unconsciously raised her hand and pinched the corner of her prince brother's clothes again, lowering her eyelids and said pitifully, "Brother was fierce to Chengcheng just now."
Wu Leyong's eyes lit up, but he quickly suppressed them. He tried his best to calm his heartbeat, and asked as if he really wanted to solve her problem: "What kind of secret is it?"
"Master," Jiang Tinghuai said in a deep voice before Jiang Yingcheng could speak, "You have crossed the line."
As he said this, in his heart he was hoping that the young man could tell him some more information that was a mixture of truth and falsehood, so as to speed up the process of the man in front of him betraying to their Da Rui.
But he also had to speak up to stop it.
From the fact that Wu Leyong ran away and then turned back, it can be seen that he is suspicious by nature and finds it difficult to trust others easily. Especially since this is news about his sweetheart, he became even more cautious.
If Jiang Tinghuai allowed Jiang Yingcheng to be easily exploited for information at this moment, it would probably arouse Wu Leyong's suspicion.
At the same time, he was vaguely worried that the kid would really be frightened by his serious tone and give up this excellent plan.
Jiang Xingran, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "But, Master, as a monk, it's not a big deal for him to know these things, right?"
When he said this, his voice was full of innocence, with a slight rise at the end of the tone, completely different from the coldness of the past: "Chengcheng was so sad because of what big brother said just now, why don't you let her find someone to talk to!"
Jiang Yingcheng and Jiang Qiuyu turned to look at him as if they had seen a ghost.
[Is Brother Qi possessed by a ghost?! ]
Jiang Xingran: “…”
The atmosphere almost fell into an awkward situation, but fortunately Jiang Tinghuai reacted quickly and took the stage that Jiang Xingran handed over to him, and said angrily: "You think I'm annoying? Do you know how serious the consequences will be if the news is leaked?"
Jiang Xingran looked a little timid, but he stood there stubbornly: "The master has already left the world and lived in seclusion here, how could he leak the news?"
Jiang Tinghuai's tone became higher: "Why not? Xingran, I will teach you a lesson today. Never put your hopes on others!"
"I'm very good at judging people! How could the master, who looks so kind, be someone who would do such a thing?"
Jiang Yingcheng and Jiang Qiuyu stood side by side, their heads shaking left and right as they quarreled, neither of them realizing that this was a setup for the other side.
Jiang Xingran and Jiang Tinghuai almost couldn't continue the performance.
They seemed to feel that no one could convince the other, and finally they all turned around to look at Wu Leyong, who was at the center of the conversation.
Wu Leyong came to his senses and quickly assured: "The poor monk's roots are here, so he will naturally not disclose the secrets of the nobles to others casually."
Hearing this, Jiang Tinghuai snorted coldly: "Whatever you want!"
The victorious Jiang Xingran smiled and stepped forward to grab Jiang Yingcheng's hand: "Don't be afraid, Chengcheng, Brother Qi won."
Jiang Yingcheng looked back and forth between the two people's faces with a tangled expression, but in the end, the desire to win a powerful helper for Da Rui prevailed. She spread her short legs and took two steps towards Wu Leyong.
[Wait until Chengcheng finishes his work, then come and coax his brother! ]
She repeated her previous words to Wu Leyong.
"But Chengcheng didn't tell anyone!" Jiang Yingcheng smiled shyly and said proudly, "Like the story about the daughter of a general from another country running away with her lover, Chengcheng didn't tell anyone!"
"And more, she handed over all her treasures for that lover!" She frowned, "I think his name is Tiger... Tiger something..."
Wu Leyong's breathing was rapid, and the fingers hidden in his sleeves were shaking uncontrollably: "Tiger Talisman?"
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes lit up and he clapped his fists: "That's it! Master, how did you know that?!"
Wu Leyong did not reply.
At this moment, he had completely believed what the little girl said. After all, she looked like a child of only about three years old.
He tried his best to suppress the rage boiling in his chest and almost broke his back teeth.
How could Jinrou do such a thing?
How could she fall so deeply in love with him after just such a brief contact?
That’s a tiger talisman!
She was willing to give up the tiger talisman for a man, so what was the significance of his companionship and his selfless following over the years?
Is this a joke?!
The little ball in front of him was still staring at him in ignorance without any guard. This was clearly a perfect opportunity to capture Princess Da Rui, but he seemed to have lost all his strength and even moving was difficult for him.
Seeing this, Jiang Yingcheng wanted to continue provoking her: "Master? Master, you——"
"What kind of master is he?!" A sudden shout came from outside the door.
The monk, who was stripped down to his inner clothes, pointed at Wu Leyong inside angrily and said, "Don't be fooled by him, he is not a monk in our temple at all! He——"
Before he could finish, a figure emerged from above the heads of several people at an extremely fast speed and disappeared in the small courtyard in the blink of an eye.
As usual, Xu Jiu called on people to chase after him.
Jiang Yingcheng took two steps forward, extremely disappointed: [Hey, Chengcheng hasn’t finished yet…]
After listening for a while, Jiang Tinghuai laughed and shook his head.
If they continue to stimulate her like this, they might lose this noble foreign friend forever.
