"Let's go!" The monk supported the green-faced ghost and jumped out of the gap. The courtyard wall was already in front of him.
"Dang, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong" at the same time, the alarm bell rang from the other end of the compound. Now the entire prison guards have been alerted and are running towards this place quickly. It will take at most dozens of seconds for the other party to discover the two people who escaped from the prison. Xue Qing couldn't help but frowned, so what if he could climb over the wall? She had difficulty moving and couldn't run at all. It was afternoon again and there were many people on the street. It was absolutely impossible for them to escape everyone's sight.
The monk climbed to the top of the wall first, then stretched out his hand and said, "Hurry and grab me!"
As soon as Xue Qing was pulled up to the wall, he saw the figure of the jailer appearing around the corner.
"Someone has escaped from prison!"
"Inform Master Bairen quickly!"
This can't go on like this, Xue Qing's heart sank.
The outcome is likely to be a disaster for both of them!
She was about to ask the monk to go first, but when she turned around, she couldn't help but was stunned when she saw a funeral procession slowly moving forward on the long street below the wall. This team is composed of monks. The leader leads the way while chanting unknown mantras. On both sides of the team, yellow mourning flags are held high, and pure water and flower petals are sprayed from time to time. In the center of the team was a heavy coffin, which was being carried forward.
Then Xue Qing suddenly remembered that he had heard similar funeral sounds before. .
This in itself is nothing surprising. On Yama Island, there are various funeral methods. There are traditional shamans summoning souls and sky burials, burning talismans from the mainland to see off, and cremation in temples. Before the reincarnation, the Seven Star Privy Council raided Fumi Mansion, which naturally caused casualties to the residents of the city. , it is common for there to be more funerals recently. However, considering that the person who rescued him was also a monk, the appearance of this funeral procession seemed quite coincidental.
"Let's go under the coffin!" The other party pulled her to jump off the courtyard wall and rushed into the procession. The funeral procession suddenly seemed a little chaotic, but Xie Qing noticed that the other monks did not resist their intrusion, but were adjusting their positions. , providing them with cover.
She soon discovered that there was a trap door underneath the coffin!
There is nothing to hesitate about next.
Xue Qing endured the severe pain of the open wound and climbed into the coffin from the bottom, isolating himself from the noisy world outside.
She held her breath and could vaguely hear the sound of fast running footsteps and the shouts of the pursuers, "They are going to the east alley!"
Did someone disguise themselves as themselves to attract the enemy's attention
Nagi Qing slowly closed his eyes.
Things have reached this point and are completely out of her control. The only thing she can do now is to resign herself to fate.
About half an hour later, the shaking of the wooden coffin finally stopped.
When Xue Qing was carried out again, he found himself in a temple.
"This is a place of Buddhism. Even if a monk is suspected in the Tenth Land, he cannot be easily admitted to the hospital for search." The familiar figure appeared in front of her again, "You can rest assured to rest until the injury is completely recovered. Of course, I want to I'm afraid it won't be easy to get out of the city. The poor monk can help you contact the Evil Horse Queen, but there is no guarantee that it will be possible."
Xue Qing struggled to sit up, "I will never forget your life-saving grace, and I will definitely do so in the future."
Halfway through her words, she was pushed down by the monk, "There's no need for this. This is what the monk wants to do. You don't have to take it to heart."
"Then you can always tell me the name now, right?" Xue Qing insisted, "I can't not even know the name of the person who saved me."
This is also what puzzles the green-faced ghost the most.
She originally thought that the other party was just alone, but the facts showed that this was not the case.
This person obviously has a lot of background. He can instruct the temples in Fumi Prefecture to cooperate with the actions. He is definitely a person with a prominent position in the local area. The problem is that there is really no need for such a respectable person to risk his life for a prisoner. What's more, the temple is highly neutral, neither leaning towards the Dongsheng princes nor helping Queen Yama. This means that no matter who is in power on both sides, they must make good friends with the Buddhist organization. Whether he saves people or not will not affect the status of the temple in the future.
"The poor monk has given up his past name, so just call him Wuxin."
After setting up Nai Qing, Wu Xin walked out of the bedroom and saw the abbot waiting for him outside the house.
"You will be wanted by the government soon, and the name Wu Xin can no longer be used in the future."
"I know."
"Even you yourself can no longer show up in the city as they have seen you. You either have to wait for the incident to subside and leave the Fumi Mansion, or you can only live in this temple forever."
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." He whispered back, "I have prepared another hiding spot. When her injury is better, I will take her away."
"Is it worth it?" the abbot sighed, "Your father has helped us a lot, and I promised him that I will take good care of you no matter what happens. You could have lived a carefree life here. "
"If I am not as good as hell, who will go to hell?" Wu Xin raised the corner of his mouth, "Besides, this is not hell at all. Compared with those who are in trouble because of my family, this is already a kind of forgiveness."
"Since you have made your decision, I won't give you any more advice." The other party was silent for a while before he said, "As long as you stay in the temple for one day, I will ensure that no one from Yuanjiu can catch you."
"Thank you."
Wu Xin clasped his hands and bowed, watching the abbot leave.
Then he returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the meditation mat, and began to meditate with his eyes closed as usual. Only this time, it was difficult for him to calm down, and he was unable to enter a meditative state for a long time.
After coming to Evil Horse, he thought he would forget many things, but now he found that those memories were only temporarily suppressed at the bottom of his mind. Once they were evoked, the ripples it caused would become particularly strong.
Wu Xin stood up and walked to the table and took out a copper waist medal from the drawer.
Only alchemists who have passed the assessment and officially joined the Privy Council can obtain such an identity certificate.
The copper material represents the beginning of the eighth grade.
He turned the waist card over to the back. There were many messy carvings on it, but even so, the word "王" carved by him himself was vaguely visible.
Wu Xin gave a bitter smile and gently touched the waist badge. He had wanted to throw the object into the sea countless times in the past, but in the end he could not bring himself to do it. Although the time to become an alchemist was short-lived, it was the most incredible experience in his life. Among the few companions around him, there were not only fox demons, but also royal princesses. But the one who impressed him the most was still the one named Xia Fan. Those who feel Qi.
He also hated Xia Fan, hated him for uprooting his family, and hated him for not sparing any sympathy from his associates.
But after coming to Yama Island and seeing the wars caused by illegal salt and the large number of slaves bought and sold by the family, these hatreds gradually faded away. After joining Buddhism, he set his sights on saving people and atonement.
Maybe what he did was nowhere near as painful as the family's trauma, but at least it could make him feel a little calm.
