Chapter 267 Bodhisattva Face, Scorpion Heart
That night.
A fire broke out in the mountain behind Shuiyue Temple.
The Buddhist temple there was burned down.
Several young nuns and a monk were burned to death.
The officers and soldiers found a wall of gold and silver behind the Buddhist temple.
Many human bones were also found in the backyard of the Buddhist temple.
After dawn, everything returned to calm.
The pilgrims get up and go out.
Trembling with fear, he went to the front yard of Shuiyue Temple to take a look.
The yard is empty after people left.
The spiritual spring well in the courtyard was also sealed.
Nun Shuiyue and the little nuns were all gone.
Only a few skinny old nuns were left sweeping the dust in the yard.
"Where is Master Shuiyue? Where did she go?" a young woman asked the nun.
"The woman who treated you was captured by the soldiers. She was not Nun Shuiyue, but a fugitive from the capital. I am Jingyue, the abbess of this nunnery." The oldest nun put down the broom in her hand and said to the woman.
Fugitive! How is that possible?
"Impossible, we don't believe it. She almost cured me."
The women refused to believe it. Master Shuiyue was clearly a kind-hearted bodhisattva who treated their illnesses and many of them had obviously recovered.
How could it be fake?
"Who are you trying to fool? You said you were the abbot of this nunnery, but how come I've never seen you here before?"
Abbess Jingyue reluctantly explained, "A year ago, the brother and sister stayed at the nunnery. In the middle of the night, they revealed their true identities and imprisoned us. They took over the nunnery, changed its name, and confined us to the backyard kitchen to do odd jobs. Naturally, you've never seen us."
It was not until the female donor arrived last night that the officers and soldiers entered the nunnery to search and rescued them.
The nuns held out their hands and said, "If you don't believe me, just look for yourself."
There were traces of chains on his hands.
The women couldn't help but believe it. "Then...then how about she treating us? And is the spiritual spring water real?"
The prescriptions written by Master Shuiyue were all taken down the mountain to get the medicine, and the owner of the pharmacy did not say there was any problem.
And it really worked after they took it.
"Let me tell you." Captain Sun appeared at the door with his soldiers.
After what happened last night, there was no need for them to hide their identities anymore.
"You...you are not the madman who led people into the nunnery yesterday?" The woman shrank back when she saw them all.
Captain Sun had no choice but to show his badge. "I say, you ignorant women, open your eyes and take a good look. How can you not know what is good and what is bad?"
"Don't you want to know who that Nun Shuiyue is? Then let me tell you. She was originally a female doctor in the palace. She tried to poison a noble and was supposed to be executed, but she was rescued. The two siblings fled to Yuzhou, killing many people along the way. Do you still think she's a Bodhisattva?"
The women looked gloomy and frightened.
How could such a kind-looking person kill someone?
Thinking back to when Master Shuiyue had once stuck needles into their bodies, could they be stabbed to death if they weren't careful?
It’s creepy to think about it.
Seeing no one answer, Captain Sun continued, "Perhaps some of you have seen her brother. He's the monk who lives in the Buddhist temple in the back mountain. He's been involved in many murders. Once he shaved his head and beard, he became a handsome monk. He also claimed to be an otherworldly master. The officials couldn't recognize him even when they showed him his portrait face to face..."
By the time he had said this, several young women had already turned pale and collapsed to the ground.
Most of them have been married for three to five years without having a child, or they have had a daughter but have never given birth to a son.
I heard that the Bodhisattva here is very effective and drinking the magical spring water here can help you have children, so I wanted to try my luck here.
Who would have thought that the nun in the temple was actually a fugitive.
Now that I have lost both my wife and my army, I really want to find a tree and hang myself.
Some of the older women among them understood the implication of the words and were immediately shocked. They widened their eyes and covered their mouths with their hands.
No wonder some women get pregnant within a month after seeing a doctor here.
What do you mean it works?
Together...
I dare not think about it, nor do I dare to say it.
But some people are still unwilling to give up.
The money they spent here was no less than a thousand taels, including those precious medicinal herbs, food and accommodation, which were all spent like water.
In the end it was all in vain.
"Then are the illnesses that Nun Shuiyue diagnosed for us, the prescriptions she prescribed, and the spiritual spring all fake?"
"Lord Liuyun, please tell me." Captain Sun turned around and looked at the man walking towards him.
This person appeared out of nowhere last night and claimed to be Prince Jing's guard.
He even showed his badge, which made him believe it.
What’s disgusting is that all the people they caught were taken away for interrogation, and they were told that it involved palace secrets and it was inconvenient to disclose them.
Forget it, he is just a small captain. The more he knows, the faster he will die.
Liuyun strode in, and the guards behind him went to the back mountain.
It was a coincidence that the eldest princess asked them to protect someone, and they met them halfway.
What’s even more coincidental is that he had happened to have seen the nun they captured.
A year ago, the prince suddenly fell ill.
After checking, they found that it was a chronic poison given by this female doctor.
After the incident, he refused to confess and later committed suicide and faked his own death to escape.
Until now, it has not been found out who is behind her.
Now I actually met someone who should have been dead here. I don’t know what kind of luck I have.
He couldn't let the female doctor slip away from under his nose this time.
He then said to the group of women, "It's not entirely a lie. After all, that woman was once a medical practitioner, and her acupuncture skills are quite solid. The prescriptions she prescribed for you are also fine, and they are all based on the standards of a noble in the palace. However, the pharmacy and inn at the foot of the mountain are all owned by the two siblings. As for the spiritual spring, it's no different from the water in the pond in front of the nunnery, but... someone died in that well before..."
"vomit……"
Before he could finish his words, everyone vomited.
He vomited out his heart, liver, and lungs.
What a liar! He actually fed them dead man's water and charged them money.
"You're a ruthless liar. I was wondering why the medicine and the inn were so expensive. Turns out they don't charge a consultation fee, and all the money is earned from food, lodging, and medicine."
No wonder such a small town like Lingquan has so many precious medicinal herbs.
After thinking about it, I felt unwell all over and my stomach was still churning.
Suddenly someone asked, "Could the medicine the liar sold us be fake?"
Suddenly, everyone was silent.
…
Miaomiao has woken up from the inn and is eating breakfast.
I suspected I was dreaming.
In a dream.
A Niang went to the nunnery to rescue people, but encountered an ambush and a fight broke out between the two sides.
The dream is over.
Everything is as usual, eat and drink as usual.
The whole family is around, no one is missing.
very nice.
The only difference is that they have a large group of people escorting them.
It is said that they were King Jing's men, who came specially to protect them for fear that they would encounter danger on the road.
Also, the innkeeper was extremely attentive and kept explaining that he was also hired as the innkeeper.
He really didn't know who the boss was.
Jiang Miaomiao wasn't the only one who felt like she was dreaming.
And the Xu sisters haven't left the house since they were rescued.
I'm so scared. They just went to visit a master, see a doctor, and worship Buddha.
How did the master become a fugitive?
My husband said that many skeletons were dug out in the back mountain, and judging from the age of the skeletons, they all belonged to young women.
Almost.
They can't come back.
Jiang Miaomiao was also shocked when she heard that Buddha had transformed into a demon.
The fugitive didn't dare to go anywhere else, so naturally he went to the deep mountains and forests where few people went.
A shave of hair and beard, and you are transformed.
Became a hermit.
She has the face of a bodhisattva but a heart of a snake.
There they are, lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
