    Hui Guo and Xiu Xiu

    Liu Qi didn’t have time to think about it. The woman opened the door and came out. Liu Qi hurriedly hid in the darkness next to him. The woman didn’t notice him and walked straight to the east.

    Liu Qi hurriedly entered the room to detect Master Zhaojue’s aura. He was already at his wits’ end. That woman was really ruthless!

    Liu Qi thought for a while, but still followed the woman from a distance. He intuitively felt that this matter was not that simple.

    Logically speaking, the woman who wanted to run away should have walked to the entrance of the village, but she didn’t expect that she had thrown herself into the trap and went to Bodhi Temple. She did not enter through the main entrance, but entered the Bodhi Temple through the remote back door.

    Liu Qi followed her and saw her entering the monk’s house. She imitated the calls of unknown birds under the tree of the monk’s house. Soon the door of a room opened and a monk about the same age as the woman came out. As soon as the woman saw him, she rushed up to him and said, “I did what you said. He is dead. It’s time for you to fulfill your promise, right?”

    The monk didn’t say anything. He reached out and did some calculations. Then he took out a small bottle from his sleeve and gave it to her. He said, “You are really powerful for killing your own uncle for an outsider.”

    “Bah! That thing with a human face and a beast heart is not worthy of being my uncle. What kind of uncle would be scornful of his niece? He also lied to me that it was a fox demon causing trouble. Only a ghost would believe what he said. If it weren’t for him, I would have been with Anlang.” The woman said, opened the bottle, and fainted as soon as she finished speaking.

    The monk covered his mouth and nose and picked up the bottle, patted the woman’s face with his hand, and said lightly: “What a stupid woman. She doesn’t believe in her own uncle. Instead, she thinks that the pretty boy is a good person. She actually killed her own uncle in order to resurrect him. The dignified Master Zhaojue died on his niece’s bed. Thinking about it is very exciting.”

    The monk picked up the woman, quietly left the Bodhi Temple, and returned to the woman’s home.

    Liu Qi didn’t dare to follow him anymore and hurriedly went to call the national master.

    While getting dressed, Li Li listened to He tell a long story about what happened. When he heard that Master Zhaojue was dead, he couldn’t help but be stunned. He thought it was because of the danger during the competition, but he didn’t expect to die like this.

    If this matter spreads, the century-old reputation of Bodhi Temple will definitely be destroyed. Since Liu Qi discovered it, he is destined to solve the matter.

    According to Liu Qi, someone instigated the woman to kill Master Zhaojue, who was also a monk of Bodhi Temple. This makes no sense. The killing of Master Zhaojue can be explained by the presiding officer. But what good does it do to him to damage the reputation of Bodhi Temple?

    When Mo Li and Liu Qi rushed there, the man had just arranged the scene. Mo Li originally thought that the monk Liu Qi was talking about was about the same age as Master Zhaojue, and was from the same group of people competing for the position of host, but he never thought that he was just a young monk.

    Of course, it didn’t take much effort to deal with this little monk, and he was easily tied up.

    “Why did you kill Master Zhaojue?” Mo Li asked him.

    The little monk chuckled, not afraid of he at all, and said softly: “Of course he deserves to be killed.”

    “Let me guess, at your age, you kill people either for revenge or for love. Judging from your revenge method, it must be for love. My guess is correct, right?” Liu Qi said.

    After Liu Qi finished speaking, the smile on the young monk’s face disappeared, which showed that he had guessed correctly.

    Liu Qi had a clue in his mind and continued: “The young monk killed the master for a woman? Am I right? Sure enough, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Both the master and the disciple are perverted monks.”

    “No! I’m different from him!” the little monk roared, not looking as calm as before.

    I learned the whole story from his mouth. The little monk, like Master Zhaojue, both went to Bodhi Temple to practice since childhood. The only difference was that the little monk was an abandoned baby. Master Zhaojue picked it up in the wild and named it Hui Guo.

    Huiguo is extremely talented in Buddhism and is a leader among her peers. She has a relationship with Master Zhaojue as both a teacher and a father.

    However, the extremely talented young apprentice did not want to be a monk. He liked the embroidery girl in the town.

    Xiuxiu was once a native of Kanzhou Village. We had known each other since childhood, and later moved to the town with her family. Whenever he went out to beg for alms, he would go to the town to see Xiuxiu, and he would listen to the little girl who had just lost her teeth whispering secrets.

    As the two grew up, the relationship between the two gradually changed. No one said anything, but they both knew each other’s thoughts. From that time on, Huiguo no longer wanted to be a monk. He wanted to return to secular life and marry Xiuxiu.

    That night, he told his master that he wanted to return to secular life, but his master rejected him. The master said that he was extremely talented and hoped that he could be the next abbot of Bodhi Temple, just like the young national master, who would make great achievements in the future.

    An imperial master can have a wife, but a presiding officer cannot have Xiu Xiu. In his heart, Xiu Xiu is much more important than a presiding officer.He expressed his thoughts, and the master slapped him angrily. That was the first time the master slapped him.

    The master punished him to think about the cliff confinement, and said that he would not be allowed to come out until he forgot to embroider.

    If you don’t come out, don’t come out. Anyway, it’s impossible to forget to do embroidery. After that, Master will come every day to teach him the Dharma, persuade him to take refuge, and persuade him to forget to embroider.

    He argued with his master every day, but he couldn’t convince the master, and the master couldn’t convince him. He asked the master, haven’t you ever met a girl who has fallen in love with you?

    At that time, the master who was angry at he’s retort said something arrogantly and said angrily: “Color is emptiness, emptiness is color. Don’t be fooled by color. Master will never be like you before, now and in the future!”

    After the master finished speaking, he stormed away and didn’t come to Siguoya to see him for several days.

    Half a month later, the master sent his junior brother to pick him up from the mountain. He thought that the master had figured it out, but he never thought that after he thought about it for several months, the master went to find Xiuxiu’s parents, and Xiuxiu got married the day before he went down the mountain. It was the matchmaker mentioned by the master.

    He is crazy, he was crazy then. Why does the old bald donkey decide his life?Why should you make a choice instead of he?Why should he marry someone else?

    Since he wanted him to be the next host, he was not as good as he wanted. He ate meat and drank alcohol, which violated many of the precepts of Bodhi Temple, but the old bald donkey just grabbed him and wouldn’t let go. His compassionate expression made him want to vomit.

    The old bald donkey imprisoned him on Siguo Cliff and recited sutras to him every day for several months. Until that day, he said: “Xiuxiu’s husband’s family treats her very well. She is pregnant. Come to the temple tomorrow to ask for a name for the child. Do you want to come?”

    He went and saw his beloved Xiu Xiu being carefully protected by another man. He smiled and congratulated them, and Xiu Xiu asked him, where have he been these days?

    He smiled and replied: “I went to another temple to discuss Buddhist scriptures with others. I didn’t expect that your wedding date would be set so soon.”

    He saw the disappointment in Xiuxiu’s eyes, and she might have thought that he also knew about her marriage.

    He personally signed a divination for their child, found out the name, called him, and had no regrets.

    No regrets?How can I have no regrets?The thing he regrets the most is telling the old bald donkey about his love for Xiu Xiu. How much better it would have been if he had quietly taken Xiu Xiu away!

    From then on, he swore that he would let the old bald donkey taste this life that was worse than death!
