Early the next morning, Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei personally took the guards of Liu Mansion and dispersed in the city to search for Fang Jun's whereabouts.
After some searching, someone finally found the owner of the sesame cake stall. After looking at it, the stall owner said with certainty, "It's him. He came to my stall at dark last night and bought a big bag of sesame cakes. Then he ran to Went toward the south gate."
When she heard that she had gone to the south gate, Liu Rumei was overjoyed. She rushed to the south gate again and found the guard at the gate to confirm one by one. In the memory of being a guard on duty last night, she finally confirmed that it was not long before the city gate closed. Fang Jun hurried out of the city.
South Gate!
Liu Rumei carefully recalled the buildings along the way from the south gate.
Go out from the south gate and follow the official road. There will be several small villages on the side. Beyond that are the woods. Further ahead is the place where Prince Xiao Jingyun was shot in an ambush. Looking further ahead, thinking of Liu Rumei, she suddenly dared not Thinking about it, further back, it was Xiangguo Temple where my father also became a monk. Could he have gone to Xiangguo Temple?
Liu Rumei thought of this, went home, took the horse, greeted Chen Xiaobei and ran out. Chen Xiaobei was also shocked when he heard Liu Rumei's story.
The two rode horses in front, Liu Tie, Liu Ce and others followed, and the group hurriedly rushed to Xiangguo Temple.
It took less than an hour to reach the sixty-mile distance. The two young monks guarding the door saw them coming and came up to greet them with a smile and called out the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha, may I ask if the donor is here to offer incense?"
Liu Rumei was very polite and bowed slightly, "Master, my name is Liu Rumei. I am Liu Xiangnan's daughter. I want to see your abbot, the Almighty Abbot."
The young monk agreed, turned around and ran inside. After waiting for about half a stick of incense, there was a sound of footsteps inside. Before anyone could come out, the name of the Buddha was announced first.
"Amitabha, I didn't know that Miss Liu was here to come, so I must not miss you in welcoming her from afar."
Following the voice, an old monk with a gray beard appeared in front of everyone. He was wearing a golden cassock. From this look, he was an old monk with status and status.
Liu Rumei took a step forward and bowed, "I have seen the Almighty Abbot."
"Amitabha, it is inconvenient for female donors to enter the temple, please forgive me."
Liu Rumei shook her head, "Master, I'm not going in. May I ask if anyone came to stay last night?"
"Oh, Miss Liu, no one stayed last night. I wonder who you are looking for?"
Liu Rumei leaned forward again and said, "What I'm looking for is the grandson of old Imperial Master Fang Zheng. He calls Fang Jun a pimple on his face."
As she spoke, Liu Rumei took out her portrait from last night, slowly unfolded it, and handed it to the old abbot.
Abbot Omnipotent took the portrait, held it in his hand and only glanced at it, then his body couldn't help but tremble. Liu Rumei keenly felt something from his trembling.
"Abbott, you have seen him, right?"
Abbot Omnipotent nodded slightly, "Now there is no Fang Jun, there is Master Kongyun in Xiangguo Temple."
Liu Rumei's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
"How is this possible? How can Fang Jun become a monk!"
Wan Neng looked at Liu Rumei and then at Chen Xiaobei.
"Oh, I guessed it right, this is Consort Chen."
Chen Xiaobei nodded slightly. This old monk still has some sharp eyesight.
"Chen Consort, Kong Yun has left a message asking you to help take care of Feng Xiaoyue!"
"He has decided to keep the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha as his companion and no longer interfere with worldly affairs. Therefore, he will not meet you. You should please go back."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei secretly complained in his heart. This is because there are not enough things and chaos in Wannian City. The matter of Xiao An's murder has not been dealt with yet. Fang Jun, you are adding to this. What a mess! Why did you become a monk again?
What else does Chen Xiaobei want to say? But the almighty abbot waved, and there was a young monk next to him, who brought over a tray with several taels of silver and a jade pendant in it.
"Master Kongyun said that this jade pendant was passed down from his family's ancestors and he no longer needs it. Please ask Prince Consort Chen to take it back and give it to Master Fang."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
After Wan Neng finished speaking, he bowed again, chanted the Buddha's name, turned around and left.
Holding the silver and jade pendant, Chen Xiaobei began to feel messy in the cold wind.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jun actually chose this path.
How should I talk to Fang Zheng when I get back?
Liu Rumei next to him also sighed, "I really didn't expect Fang Jun to do such a thing. What should we do? We can only tell the old master the truth when we go back."
Yes, now there is no other choice but to tell the truth. Anyway, whether the truth can be accepted or not, the treatment can only be so.
At this time, at Fang Zheng's house in Wannian City, the maid finally found the letter from under Fang Jun's pillow and hurriedly brought it to Fang Zheng.
When I opened the letter, it was very concise. There were only a few sentences in it. It probably meant that I had become like this, and I really had no face to see others. I planned to become a monk. I hope that my grandfather Fang Zheng would not look for his whereabouts again. The other thing is, please Fang Zheng told Feng Xiaoyue that he, Fang Jun, was sorry in this life, and he would repay him as a cow or a horse in the next life.
After reading the letter, Fang Zheng slammed the table.
He tore the letter into pieces and sighed.
"You bastard, I taught you how to read and write from a young age, let you learn literature and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor's family. It's a good thing for you, but you have to chant sutras and recite Buddha's name."
"That's it, that's all, let it go. As long as you live, I will be worthy of your dead parents."
As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.
She lost her son in middle age and worked hard to raise her grandson. However, she never expected that her grandson would end up like this.
While I was weeping secretly, a servant came in and reported, "Master, Miss Liu and Consort Chen are here, saying they have found the whereabouts of the young master."
Fang Zheng raised his hand gently, "I know, let them come in. By the way, go and invite the pair of jade Buddhas I prepared."
"Sir, did you mean to keep those pair of Buddha statues..."
"No more, it's useless." After saying that, Fang Zheng held the armrests of the chair with both hands, tried to stand up, and walked towards the living room with a slight stagger.
At this time, the servant also had a sore nose. From the back, Fang Zheng looked a few years older.
Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei entered the living room. When they saw Fang Zheng clasping his fists and saluting, Chen Xiaobei went straight to the point, "Grandpa Fang, Fang Jun's whereabouts have been found!"
As he spoke, he came forward and put the jade pendant and silver into Fang Zheng's hand.
"Fang Jun has already become a monk in Xiangguo Temple."
Fang Zheng was not surprised at all, he just sighed and said, "It doesn't matter, just become a monk as long as you become a monk. It's just a pain for Miss Xiaoyue."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei looked at each other. It seemed that Fang Zheng had known about it for a long time, so he was not surprised or anxious at all.
