Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 102
Chapter 102 Pretend to Be Struck by Lightning
Yin Xun stretched out his hand and pulled open the back door. Suddenly, a short arrow flew over without warning.
He didn’t have time to think, so he burned Bai Jun behind him, pulled out his sword to block the short arrow, and said coldly, “Who is it?”
Hearing his voice, the person hiding in the shadows hesitated for a moment, then immediately came out and walked in front of Yin Xun. “So it’s the two of you. We thought that those who dared to open the door openly were all people from the temple. I’m really sorry!”
Yin Xun fixed his eyes on the three hunters he had encountered along the way.
He already knew that what the three of them said was true, so he didn’t bother with them. “You came at the right time,” Bai Junzhuo said. “Those girls are locked up in the kitchen in this courtyard. Quickly rescue them and send them home.”
The three of them exchanged glances and asked, “What about the two of you?”
“Let’s stay here and investigate the matter so that these monks won’t do anything evil in the future.” Bai Junzhuo replied.
The three of them hesitated. Yin Xun pointed to the carriage in the courtyard and said, “Go and see if the person in the carriage is the one who tricked those girls as you said.”
One of the hunters walked to the carriage and lifted the curtain to take a look inside. He turned to the other two and said, “Big brother, second brother, it’s this person!”
Yin Xun said, “I’ll leave this person to you as well. You’d better hurry up and run away with that group of girls overnight. Otherwise, when dawn comes and the monks in the temple wake up, the three of you may not be able to beat them up.”
The three of them no longer hesitated. They cupped their fists and said, “Thank you for your help. Please forgive me for hurting you so many times!”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Stop wasting your time. Hurry up and save him.” Bai Junzhuo hurriedly said.
Yin Xun ignored the three and pulled Bai Junzhuo out.
It was even darker outside, and one couldn’t even see the outline of the mountain clearly. Where could one find the so-called side hall?
Bai Junzhuo stretched out his hand and pulled at La Yin Xun’s sleeve, suggesting, “It’s so dark. If we missed the cliff, it wouldn’t be good. Let’s find a place to rest and wait until dawn.”
“It would be safer to rest in this temple than outside.” As Yin Xun spoke, he suddenly grabbed Bai Junzhuo’s hand and clasped it against her fingers, “Follow me, everything will be fine.”
Bai Junzhuo felt relieved when he heard the heat coming from his palm. He nodded his head gently and said, “It’s so dark, can you really see it?”
Yin Xun shook his head.
“Then where are we going?”
“Did you smell anything?” Yin Xun suddenly asked, “In the dead of night, the smell is exceptionally long and secluded.”
Bai Junzhuo sniffed hard and asked, “Flowers on the cliff?”
“No,” Yin Xun shook his head and led Bai Junzhuo in a direction. “It’s Ink Fragrance.”
They stumbled and stumbled between the cliffs, and the two of them walked extremely slowly. Following the scent from the top of the hill, a small house with dim yellow lights was soon seen.
The two of them walked over without much hesitation. They stood at the open window and looked into the room. A man in white was sitting at a shiny black wooden table with his head buried. The small oil lamp that was used for illumination swayed slightly and could not clearly see the man’s side face.
Although he couldn’t see his face clearly, his hair was still very obvious. This person wasn’t a monk. He was probably a scholar who lived in Lingye Temple and studied hard through the cold windows.
Yin Xun looked down at Bai Junzhuo and asked, “Is this your cousin?”
Before Bai Junzhuo could reply, the scholar heard someone’s words and looked out of the window. He saw two people suddenly appear outside. He was slightly surprised and asked, “Who are you two? Why did you visit in the middle of the night?”
Only then did Bai Junzhuo see his face clearly. This person had a delicate appearance and was about 27 to 28 years old. However, before Bai Xu left home, he had very little acquaintance with her, and she was also young at that time. She did not remember Bai Xu’s appearance, and did not know if this person was Bai Xu.
The man wasn’t afraid either. He stood up and opened the door. He said to Yin Xun and Bai Junzhuo, “The guests are the guests. Please come in.”
The two exchanged a glance and walked into the small house.
The two of them were shocked the moment they entered. This room was originally small, and the bed on the ground was covered with densely packed paper. The place for them to move was only the size of a palm.
After Bai Junzhuo finished sizing it up, he casually took down the small bag on his back and put it aside. Originally, she never left this bag, but when she passed by the snow lotus fruit field, she picked a lot of snow lotus fruits and carried them on her back too heavily.
She said, “We are here to find someone. May I ask if you recognize a man called Bai Xu? He is probably about your age.”
The man pondered for a moment and asked, “I’ve heard of this person. May I know why you two are looking for him?”
Bai Junzhuo’s face revealed joy. Finally, someone recognized Bai Xu. She immediately replied, “To tell you the truth, I am Bai Xu’s cousin. Grandma is seriously ill and wants to see him. I will invite him back. Since you know him, can you tell me where he is?”
The man replied, “He has already escaped into the empty door. He probably won’t go back with you.”
Bai Junzhuo frowned slightly, “Hiding in an empty sect? Is he really a monk now? In the Spirit Industry Temple?”
The man nodded, “Yes.”
Bai Junzhuo frowned even more tightly and said angrily, “I didn’t expect that this cousin would not be a good thing. He would do something harmful with the monks in the Spirit Monastery!”
The man was stunned and asked, “What does the girl mean?”
“Don’t you know?” Bai Junzhuo looked at him, “How long have you been here?”
The man calculated and replied, “Three years is more than enough.”
“You have lived here for three years without knowing?” Bai Junzhuo’s eyebrows revealed a trace of suspicion. “On the surface, the monks of the Spirit Industry Temple are chanting Buddhism in the temple, but they are secretly doing the business of forcing good women into prostitution and selling women from good families,” Bai Junzhuo said.
“Really?” “Although I have lived here for more than three years, I have little contact with the temple. I only give them a thousand copies of the Great Solar Tathagata Scripture every month in exchange for daily meals,” the man said with a surprised expression.
Bai Junzhuo’s gaze swept across the pile of paper and his expression softened slightly. “So that’s why Young Master doesn’t know about the secret activities of the Spirit Industry Temple. However, my cousin has lived in the temple for a long time, so it’s impossible for him to not know. Even if he’s like this, he still colluded with those monks. Such a cousin is truly embarrassing to the Bai Clan! No wonder his name is Bai Xu, he is simply a pile of scum.”
The man did not excuse Bai Xu and lightly nodded in agreement.
Bai Junzhuo didn’t say anything else. He noticed that Yin Xun hadn’t said anything when he entered the door. He turned to look at him. Seeing that he was absorbed in what the man had written, he asked, “What are you looking at?”
Yin Xun held the paper in his hand and read, “I miss the ancients so much that there is no need to worry about them. I miss them so much that there is no need to worry about them.”
Bai Jun scratched her head. She could guess that this series of “xi” and “xi” were all sentences from the Book of Songs, but the only poem she could understand was “Guan Ju”.
After Yin Xun finished reading, he said to the man, “Your words are boundless and magnificent. Your actions are like flowing clouds. You should never hide here and write such sorrowful and lingering sentences.”
The man quickly grabbed the paper in Yin Xun’s hand and smiled faintly. He replied, “Young Master, you’re joking. This is all I have to offer. I only know how to write sad sentences about men and women.”
‘”I don’t think so.” Yin Xun took out another piece of paper and read, “Sorry for me, but I’m good at being Kong. I’m not only broken, but I’m also lacking in strength. Duke Zhou, the four kingdoms are Qiu during the Eastern Expedition. Sorry for me, but I’m good at being Kong’s rest.”
The man grabbed the piece of paper again with an unhappy expression.
“It’s getting late. May I know if you two intend to return to the temple to find the person you are looking for, or if you want to continue copying the scriptures with me as I read them?”
Yin Xun smiled and said, “Since you have Duke Zhou’s ambitions for the Eastern Expedition, why are you willing to stay here and copy the scriptures?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” The man seemed to be even angrier.
“Am I wrong?” Yin Xun asked again, “Don’t you want to live in a temple, be an official, and contribute to the country of Li?”
“Of course I don’t have such thoughts!” The man was actually excited, pointing at the paper in his hand, “Duke Zhou’s East Expedition was a wise move for the carnivores, but what about the commoners?” “Officials will only exchange the lives of the people for everything they need, and they will also come up with all sorts of grand excuses to decorate their sins. Even if I copy the scriptures for the rest of my life, I will not have the slightest relationship with the temple!”
Yin Xun had been quietly looking at him, and there was a trace of approval on his face. He said, “But the rights of meat eaters are always above the people. This is very natural.”
The man’s expression was cold as he pointed at the door and said, “There’s no need to speculate. Please leave this place!”
Bai Junzhuo looked at this and that confusedly. She didn’t know anything. She could only guess that Yin Xun had angered this scholar with just a few words. The scholar had given the order to expel him now.
She frowned and glared at Yin Xun, “What are you pretending to be? Don’t you know how to speak human words?”
Yin Xun ignored Bai Junzhuo’s gaze and leaned against the table. “What I said is what all the scholars think, but I don’t think so. My understanding coincides with Your Excellency’s.”
The man was stunned. His eyes flashed slightly. He lowered his head and rolled up the two sheets of paper from before. He slowly said, “It’s a pity that the consorts are in power now. The Li Kingdom seems to be flourishing on the surface, but the regime has already fallen into the hands of the adulterers. No matter how clear the Abyss Emperor is, he is only a puppet.”
Yin Xun chuckled softly, his eyes filled with praise. “Regent Fu Hou, everyone in the family is an official. The officials in the court are all his lackeys. The Emperor of the Abyss needs someone as far-sighted as you to see through everything.”
The man sneered, “How many good things can the Yin Clan have? The change of dynasties is inevitable. What does it have to do with ordinary people like me when they compete with each other?”
Yin Xun stared at him and said word by word, “It’s the people who suffer when the tigers and wolves fight. You are far away from Jianghu and you are deeply worried about the people of Li Kingdom. Do you really not want to return to the mortal world and contribute to the people, Young Master Bai?”
The man was shocked and immediately asked, “What Young Master Bai? My surname is not Bai.”
Bai Junzhuo also looked at Yin Xun with his eyes wide open. He tugged at his sleeve and said, “That’s right. What do you mean? Do you want to say that he is my cousin Bai Xu?”
