Chapter 39 Find someone to ask
Chapter 39 Find someone to ask
"I want to ask you something..." Yaoguang said directly, and explained the date and what happened.
After hearing that Yaoguang came for something that happened a year ago, Xu Yi was confused at first, but in an instant the alarm bells in his heart rang again!
Xu Yi didn't believe in Buddhism and didn't go to the temple very often. The few times he went there, it was either to accompany his family to worship Buddha or for official business!
The day Yaoguang was talking about was the day he went there under the imperial order.
"Who are you to dare to pry into the secrets of the royal family?"
The three-foot green sword in Xu Yi's hand immediately moved forward a few inches, resting on a few layers of thin cloth, as if it was about to pierce through the cloth and into Yaoguang's chest.
Although such cold weapons could not cause much harm to her, Yaoguang would feel somewhat uncomfortable when someone pointed a weapon at her.
He raised his hand lightly and broke Xu Yi's sword into two pieces as if breaking a thin dead branch.
As the metal sword let out a clear and mournful cry, Xu Yi's face was filled with disbelief.
He looked at Yaoguang, then looked at the sword in his hand.
She looked like she was only about ten years old, and she just broke the sword in her hand with just two fingers?
Was his sword replaced by someone?
Or did he have one extra glass of wine with dinner today and is now a little drunk, or is he dreaming?
Xu Yi kept questioning himself, but he never suspected Yaoguang.
After all, it is impossible for a little girl who is only as tall as her chest to break a heavy sword directly.
Even so, Xu Yi did not let his guard down.
"You really won't tell me?" Yaoguang asked again.
"No comment." Xu Yi said firmly.
After what happened just now, he could probably understand Yaoguang's strength. Although he had been practicing martial arts since he was young, he stood out from the crowd and was even selected as a sword-bearing guard in front of the emperor.
But in front of the little girl in front of him, he was really vulnerable.
Although Xu Yi felt regretful and afraid, he was more interested in exploring martial arts. He considered himself to be a leader in martial arts, and it was no problem for him to fight ten people alone. However, after seeing Yaoguang's strength, he couldn't help but feel curious.
How powerful is the strongest person in the world?
Who is the teacher of the little girl in front of me?
"Okay." Yaoguang responded calmly and prepared to leave.
Since Xu Yi didn't want to say anything, she would just ask someone else. There were many people present, so there was no need for her to ask just one person, especially someone who couldn't be hypnotized.
Seeing Yaoguang was about to leave, Xu Yi stood there and doubted himself even more.
Just leave like that?
Not even asking him to confess a few words?
Xu Yi even thought of chasing after him.
However, he seemed to have relaxed a little too early.
He followed her for a few steps and saw Yaoguang jump lightly onto the eaves. He admired her in his heart and prepared to jump up after her.
Then something flew towards him from above, and seemed to be heading straight for his head.
hidden weapon!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Xu Yi fell down before he even had time to dodge.
He fell straight to the ground.
Yaoguang stood on the eaves, silently placed her hands on both sides of her body, and stood upright.
On the way here, she picked up some mud from the ground and rolled it into a few balls for emergency use. She didn't expect that they would actually be used.
Eye hypnosis doesn't work, so we can only use physical methods.
The force of her mud ball hit Xu Yi's acupuncture points, and according to medical books, it could make his head dizzy for several days.
Yaoguang couldn't tell whether he was drowsy or not, but she knew that Xu Yi could at least sleep for a few days.
In this way, it will not interfere with her search for evidence in Hanshan Temple.
After finishing all this, Yaoguang patted her butt and prepared to go home to sleep. She was still growing and couldn't stay up late all the time.
As for the chaotic events that occurred after Yaoguang left, when the servants of the Xu family saw that the lights in the yard had not been turned off for a long time and then discovered that their master had fallen to the ground unconscious, it had nothing to do with Yaoguang.
The grandmother and granddaughter got up early, met Zhu Luo at the city gate, and took the carriage rented by Zhu Luo and went directly to Hanshan Temple.
In the carriage, Sun asked Zhu Luo a lot of questions about her grandson, and Zhu Luo told her everything he knew.
When Sun learned that his grandson had not shown up after passing the imperial examination, his worries were not false.
Seeing that Sun's face looked a little strange, Zhu Luo hurriedly spoke to comfort her, "Don't worry, Madam Qiao, Brother Yanzhi will be fine!"
Yanzhi is Qiao Xun's pen name.
Several people got up early and arrived early, and it was almost afternoon when they arrived at Hanshan Temple.
Most of the people along the way were pilgrims coming down the mountain, and there were few people who came at this time.
Hanshan Temple is the most popular temple near the capital, and many dignitaries come and go.
Therefore, when they got off the bus, not only did they stand out among the crowd, they also received a lot of cold faces.
It was too difficult for these monks to recall a pilgrim who had come more than a year ago and was just an ordinary scholar.
However, whenever the monks mentioned that people from the palace had sealed off the temple, they would simply shut their mouths.
"Amitabha, I really don't know..." said a young monk with an indifferent expression.
Although the Sun family and the others chose a deserted corner to ask the young monk about this matter, when he heard that this matter was related to the palace, the young monk would not dare to reveal anything even if he had ten thousand courage, for fear of offending someone he shouldn't offend.
Yaoguang stood by and asked, imitating Sun's behavior: "Young Master, do you really not know?"
The little monk was about to reject Yaoguang once again, but when he met Yaoguang's eyes, it seemed as if his mind was sucked into this vortex in an instant.
His eyes were blank for a moment, then he said: "I don't know much, I just know that something happened to a distinguished guest in the palace that day. I was sweeping the floor in the temple at that time, and it was my senior brother who told me. If you want to know, you can ask my senior brother, he is now..."
After receiving the guidance from the young monk, Sun and Zhu Luo were extremely excited.
I went through several monks and finally found the head monk of the temple. Although their initial refusal made people a little worried, they seemed willing to talk after I asked them again.
Sun and Zhu Luo did not think there was anything strange about this; perhaps they were touched by the sincerity of the few people.
After just a round of asking, it seemed that they didn't get any useful information.
All I know is that on that day, the third princess, the one His Majesty loved the most, was assassinated while burning incense in the temple. The assassin was caught and the princess went back to recuperate.
As for the news about Qiao Xun, the monks in the temple still didn't know anything and didn't even know this person.
Of course, Mrs. Sun did not think that her grandson was an assassin, but she was worried that her grandson might be injured by the assassin and lose his life, or be injured somewhere and have to recuperate at home.
After going around in circles, they still didn't know where Qiao Xun had gone.
Yaoguang had no idea what to do. When she was about to suggest to Sun that they post a missing person notice around the temple, Zhu Luo suggested, "Madam Qiao, I heard that Hanshan Temple is very popular. Since we are here, why not ask the Bodhisattva?"
Zhu Luo's proposal made Sun's eyes light up.
