Chapter 656: Self-reliance
This was the first time that Shi Chan encountered a donor who asked to protect someone. As a monk, he was compassionate and protecting people was his duty.
He agreed, but he didn't know what preparations the protector should make and what precautions he should take.
Shi Chan felt that his two senior brothers had been in the martial arts world for many years and should be much more experienced than himself who had been slaughtering pigs all year round, so he came to ask.
Lu Yang looked down at the killer.
Originally, he wanted to go across the street to ask if there was a girl named Peacock, in case the killer was lying.
No need to ask this time.
Meng Jingzhou looked at Lu Yang on his left, the hero who saved the beauty, and then looked at Shi Chan on his right, who was able to protect the beauty.
How come I ran into Jie Xiu when I came here? Jie Xiu, why are you hiding in my room? Go and rob me. If you don't rob me, how can I be the hero and save the beauty? Jie Xiu didn't walk into the wrong room. He just thought that there would be no new guests late at night, so he hid in the empty room, ready to wait for Fuling to fall asleep, and then steal the 300-year-old Lei Jie Ganoderma lucidum.
Who would have thought that three people would come to stay so late.
I can only say that like Meng Jingzhou, I am just unlucky.
Shi Chan suddenly noticed Fuling and was puzzled: "Donor Kongque, why are you here?"
"Master, you got the wrong person. My name is Fuling."
"Brother Shichan, what's going on?"
"Donor Fuling looks exactly like Donor Kongque."
Lu Yang was very surprised: "Girl, do you have a sister?"
"No..." Fuling was about to deny it, but suddenly a vague memory came to her mind, "Yes, I have a twin sister, but she got lost when I was very young."
Lu Yang thought about what happened just now and felt that he had figured it out. He said to Shi Chan, "Go and call Miss Peacock and tell her that the killer has been caught."
Shi Chan was surprised. Could it be that the person lying on the ground was the killer? That's right, the man in black clothes really doesn't look like a good guy.
The Peacock Girl hid in Shi Chan's room, holding the Buddhist beads left by Shi Chan. She was overjoyed when she learned that the killer had been caught.
She had originally thought of sleeping in the same room with Master Shi Chan tonight.
He is worthy of being a master. He caught the person so quickly.
"Peacock thanks the master!"
Shi Chan chanted "Amitabha" and said, "Don't thank me, this is all thanks to my two brothers. I didn't contribute anything to this matter."
Kong Que thought he was just being modest and handed Shi Chan a storage ring: "Here are some spiritual stones, please accept them, Master."
Shi Chan shook his head gently: "A monk should be compassionate. Saving people is my duty. How can I ask for money?"
"This is not for the master, but for the incense money donated to the Buddha."
Shichan continued to refuse: "I am the Buddha."
"ah?"
Peacock was confused by Shi Chan. Shi Chan did not explain any more and took Peacock to Fuling's room according to Lu Yang's instructions.
When the two girls saw each other, they were so surprised that they were speechless for a moment.
The air froze.
It was Fuling who broke the silence first. Her lips trembled, she shivered, and tears flowed unconsciously: "Sister?"
"You, you are my sister?"
"elder sister!"
"younger sister!"
The two girls hugged each other and cried bitterly. They were lost at the age of two and met again eighteen years later. The scene was touching.
"Sister, where were you then? Why are you called Peacock now?"
Peacock wiped his tears and cried: "I was found by my master after I got lost. He took me around the area but couldn't find you, so he brought me back to the Taoist temple and raised me up."
"I was young at the time and couldn't remember my own name, so my master named me Peacock."
Lu Yang thought to himself, I knew that such a professional killer would not recognize the wrong target, and sure enough, there was a reason for it.
Fuling's room was crowded for a while: Lu Yang and his two companions, Fuling, Peacock, the killer, and the robber cultivator brought here by Meng Jingzhou.
Seven people gathered together.
Lu Yang silently scanned the crowd. There were sisters he had recognized, killers with poor eyesight, and robbers who wanted to steal things. He should have wanted to stay in the hotel at first.
I just walked into the wrong room, how come so many things happened in the blink of an eye? Now that he already knew the cause and effect of the matter, Lu Yang was too embarrassed to ask Fuling to take the killer to the government office himself.
Two sisters who just met each other, one holding a killer and the other holding a robber, went to the government office to report the case, talking and laughing. This scene seemed wrong no matter how you thought about it.
"Let's go and send the person to the yamen." Lu Yang sighed and decided to be a good person to the end.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
And he couldn't run away. Even if he didn't go to the yamen, the constable would come to find him and record his statement as a witness.
The seven people walked down the inn in a lively manner, which stunned the owner.
He didn't remember there being so many people upstairs.
Lu Yang explained the whole story to the boss, and the boss was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, there were three young heroes there, otherwise there would have been a murder in his hotel. He couldn't even imagine what would happen after that. Who would dare to stay in their hotel?
The boss thanked them profusely and waived the food and lodging for Lu Yang and the other two, and also promised that they could stay here as long as they wanted.
The two sisters almost got into an accident in the hotel, and the owner, out of apology, waived the sisters' expenses and made the same promise.
The five men carried the two people out, and not long after they met a constable who was patrolling the streets. After hearing what had happened, the constable hurriedly took the seven people back to the yamen to learn more about what had happened.
The subsequent events were consistent with Lu Yang's expectations. The killer and the robber were handed over to the government office for handling. The three of them gave statements as witnesses. At the end, each of them was given a banner for his bravery and a reward of spirit stones.
This time, Shichan did not make excuses.
After finishing all these things, the three of them were exhausted physically and mentally, and were finally able to return to the hotel to rest. The two sisters had just recognized each other, and they were extremely energetic.
After a night, Lu Yang stretched himself, feeling relaxed and refreshed.
"Old Meng, get up!"
Lu Yang knocked on the door considerately to wake up Meng Jingzhou.
Meng Jingzhou opened the door with a bad look and stared at Lu Yang dimly.
Lu Yang ignored Meng Jingzhou's gaze.
Shi Chan walked out of the room, looking very energetic, completely different from the state he was in when he returned to the room last night. He was obviously well rested: "Senior Brother Lu Yang, good morning."
"Where are you going today? Are you going to perform a ritual?"
"Yes."
Lu Yang teased, "I thought you were going to use the spiritual stones that the government gave you last night to go to the brothel to hone your mind."
"Brother, you are joking. I don't accept gifts without merit. I didn't do anything yesterday. Thanks to you two brothers, I have a good reputation for being brave and righteous. It's hard to refuse the spiritual stones given by the court. I will just regard it as the spiritual stones donated by the court to the sect. How can I use it for myself?"
"Do you want me to give you some spirit stones?" Meng Jingzhou said with a smile.
Shi Chan shook his head and refused: "I used the spiritual stones given by Senior Brother Meng to go to the brothel. It is not me who went to the brothel, but Senior Brother Meng who went to the brothel. It will not have the effect of tempering."
"Master always taught me to be self-reliant. I have to earn the spiritual stones to go to the brothel with my own ability."
