Lu Jing took away the palm that was on Zhanzhi's back and said to Du Neng and Du Jing who looked anxious on the side, "Don't worry, your master is fine. It's just a big bump on the back of his head that will probably take some time." Until the swelling subsides, I can only sleep on my side or stomach until then.”
Du Jing, who was about to burst into tears, burst out laughing again when she heard this, while Du Neng, who had a tense face, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mainly because the scene the three saw when they came back was too scary.
Zhanzhi stood motionless on the steps in front of the main hall, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Then the two young monks called out the names of several senior brothers, but no one answered.
At that time, the two of them almost thought that all the monks in the temple had encountered something unexpected.
Fortunately, Lu Jing's ear skills were excellent and he heard the faint snoring coming from the dining hall. When he got there, he took a look and found two big monks and four little monks lying there in a huddle, sleeping together.
Many people were still holding half-eaten cooking cakes in their hands. Lu Jing broke off a piece and put it under his nose and smelled it. He knew that they had been drugged, and the one they used was the most common one in the world. The worst quality sweat medicine.
This kind of sweat medicine comes and goes quickly. Even if you do nothing, it will basically take less than half an hour for the person who was knocked down by the medicine to regain consciousness.
Apart from being cheap and easy to get, the rest are all shortcomings.
The biggest problem is that the smell is very strong. Generally, people in the martial arts world who travel around the world will find it difficult to fall into this trap as long as they pay a little attention.
However, the monks in Ganquan Temple had been eating fast and chanting Buddha's name in the temple. Obviously, they had no experience in this area, so they were easily put down.
Lu Jing asked Du Jing and Du Neng to get buckets of water and wipe the faces of the monks in the hall to help them wake up as soon as possible.
And he himself went to see Zhanzhi lying in front of the hall.
The old monk was also still breathing, but unlike other monks in the temple, he was knocked down in the same way as in the room.
And the murder weapon is easy to find, it's the wooden fish next to him.
Zhanzhi has been knocking wooden fish for almost a lifetime, and he probably never thought that one day his head would be knocked back by a wooden fish. Fortunately, the attacker didn't want his life, so the attack wasn't too heavy, and he just knocked him unconscious. thing.
As for the murderer, it was obvious. Lu Jing walked around the temple and didn't see the three wild monks who were taken in by Zhanzhi.
And when Zhanzhi was introduced to Zhenqi by Lu Jing, after Yuyou woke up, she also confirmed Lu Jing's conjecture.
According to the old monk, this disaster was actually related to Lu Jing.
The twelve taels of silver he had donated to Ganquan Temple with a wave of his hand aroused the greed of the three wild monks.
The three of them had become monks on the way, so they had no choice but to pretend to be monks and work in Ganquan Temple to earn a living. They were all very honest when the temple had no money.
Follow the monks in the temple to do morning and evening homework, and find ways to fill your stomach together.
However, now that the temple suddenly received a huge sum of money, they also had strange thoughts. They could no longer stand the boring life of tofu, vegetables, and ancient Buddha with green lanterns.
So when I went out to buy vegetables and food, I also bought a pack of Mongolian sweat medicine and knocked down all the monks in the hall.
But what they didn't expect was that the abbot Zhanzhi didn't eat with the people in the temple, but had to wait for Lu Jing and the others to come back.
To show his sincerity, the old monk came outside the main hall early to greet the living God of Wealth. Oh no, it was Lu Jing who returned.
As a result, the God of Wealth did not wait, but instead waited for the three fierce gods.
Zhanzhi was knocked unconscious by them. The first thing the old monk did after waking up was to touch his arms. Unfortunately, the ingot of silver that he originally carried in his arms was gone.
Zhanzhi felt that the blow on the back of his head didn't hurt as much as his own flesh.
Du Jing said bitterly, "I didn't expect those three people to be such ruthless people. Master, you took them in when they were about to starve to death. Moreover, they have been chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha in the temple every day these days, and have been subjected to Influenced by Buddhism, I don’t care about repaying my kindness, but I first poisoned all the fellow disciples, then injured you, Master, and took away the temple’s money. I’m really bad to the core.”
Although Du Neng didn't curse the three people as bluntly as Du Jing, he couldn't help but remind him, "Master, I told you when you wanted to accept them into the temple. I don't think these three people can be trusted."
Zhanzhi shook his head, "There is no person in this world who cannot be saved. In the final analysis, our own Buddhist teachings are not profound enough. Besides, how do you know that our influence during this period has no effect.
"If it were them before entering the temple, not only would the ingot of silver be gone, but the lives of your senior brothers and me would probably also be lost. Maybe they won't escape after killing us, but just I'm just going to stay here and wait for you to come back and do it again.
"Don't underestimate these refugees. They can escape all the way here. Many of them are ruthless people with human lives on their backs, and you, the donor, exposed your wealth when you entered the temple." Zhanzhi said to Lu Jing.
Du Jing reminded, "Master, he is the great hero Lu Jinglu. Who dares to rob him without opening his eyes?"
"What Lu Jinglu...ah, are you Master Lu?!" Zhanzhi's jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock.
"Yes, it's me." Lu nodded.
Zhanzhi regretted it. He patted his thigh and said, "You should have told me earlier. If you had told me earlier, I would have used words to deceive those three thieves first. When you come back, Master Lu, I will deal with them severely."
"…………"
"Master, if you do this, you will have violated the precept of lying." Du Jing said weakly.
"That's only ten taels of silver. So what if you told a few lies? Buddha wouldn't blame him even if you think about it." Zhanzhi said disapprovingly.
After saying that, he remembered something again and looked at Lu Jing again, "Look at us, we are just talking about trivial things in the temple. How is your situation, Mr. Lu? Did you find the scripture you were looking for?"
"I found the scriptures, but what I want is not in the scriptures." Lu Jingdao, now that he had said it, he no longer beat around the bush and asked Zhan Zhidao directly, "Master, do you know Master Honglian?"
"I know. Master Honglian is a Buddhist monk. How could I not know that?" Zhanzhi said.
"Then did he leave anything behind in your temple?"
"Ah, has Master Honglian ever been to our Ganquan Temple?" The look of surprise on Zhanzhi's face didn't seem to be fake. He really didn't know that the world-famous Master Honglian had come to their small temple. If such a If it really happened, how could he not have any impression at all.
No, it should be said that everyone in Fengxing County, where he had already publicized this matter, was aware of it, and the popularity of Ganquan Temple must have been much more prosperous than it is now.
