Chapter 231
Young benefactor, this old monk has seen someone who looks very much like you.
That night, after Yun Li took Master Zhidu and the unconscious Jiang Ting down the mountain, they went to Yunshan Temple because they needed a place to treat Jiang Ting.
Yunshan Temple is located on Yunshan Mountain, north of Xiangcheng. The temple is small, with only sixteen monks.
Although it is not large in scale, it is quite famous and attracts many people to offer incense. The monks in the temple are also frequently invited by television stations to give lectures on Buddhist scriptures.
Master Zhidu was not the abbot of Yunshan Temple, but he was a figure of great prestige, like an elder statesman.
His residence was not in the temple, but on the back mountain of Yunshan Temple, where no one usually came to disturb him, so no one knew that he had brought two people back.
Jiang Ting's superpowers are far stronger than Zhao Xu's, and the amount of energy she needs to gather is several times greater.
The night Yun Li arrived here, she rested for a night to recover her supernatural abilities.
The next day, they began to gather her energy. When her superpower was almost exhausted, the energy that had overflowed from Jiang Ting's body was not completely gathered. They could only wait for her superpower to recover before doing it again.
"Young benefactor, you're awake. Come and have something to eat."
Master Zhidu brought in food from outside. Yun Li, who had just woken up and was sitting on the edge of the bed, glanced at the food, which included meat and eggs.
"Can you cook meat dishes in temples?"
As she spoke, she walked to the table and sat down.
Zhi Du chuckled twice. "Young benefactor, you've worked hard. You need to replenish your nutrition properly. I can't let you eat vegetarian food all the time."
"And this meat dish wasn't made in the temple; I had someone go out and buy it."
Upon hearing this, Yun Li nodded and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Zhi Du sat to the side watching her, and Yun Li didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She ate heartily, and in less than fifteen minutes, she finished off two bowls of rice and three dishes.
Setting down the bowl, she said, "Thank you, Master. I'll go and treat that wooden spirit."
She kept talking about treatment, without mentioning the specific cause of her illness, because she didn't want to go through the trouble of explaining and exposing her psychic abilities.
As the little fellow walked towards another room, Master Zhidu suddenly spoke up, "Little benefactor, I have seen someone who looks very much like you."
When Yun Li arrived at the temple the night before last, she took off her mask. Zhi Du immediately recognized her, but couldn't quite place where he had seen her before.
After a day and a night of reflection, he finally remembered.
Yun Li stopped in her tracks, turned around, and exclaimed, "Where is she?!"
Master Zhidu shook his head, "I don't know where she is now."
"Where have you seen someone who looks like me before?"
"I met her at the Zhao family in Bijin Mountain more than ten years ago. She was the Zhao family's adopted daughter, and her name was Yun Guiyue."
Upon hearing the name "Yun Guiyue," Yun Li's pupils dilated instantly.
Because of their resemblance and the name, Yun Li didn't need to confirm; she was already certain that Yun Guiyue was related to her by blood.
With a flick of the wrist, a drop of blood floated on the palm.
Zhi Du had already seen her putting things away and guessed that she had a Qiankun bag, so he was naturally not surprised that she could produce a drop of blood out of thin air.
I'm just curious, what is she going to do!
The drop of blood spun rapidly in Yun Li's palm before floating away in one direction.
Yun Li's eyes lit up with joy, and then he grabbed the blood droplet in his palm, sending it back into his spatial dimension.
Having confirmed that Yun Guiyue was in Xiangcheng, she was eager to go find her, but she also remembered that she still needed to help the wood-elemental user gather his energy.
Looking at Zhidu, she smiled sincerely, "Thank you for informing me, Master."
With a wave of his hand, five scriptures landed on the dining table. "These five scriptures are for you."
If it were any other gift, Zhidu might not have accepted it, but scriptures are different. Not only would he accept them, but he would even go further and ask for more.
"Young benefactor, Buddhism emphasizes the concept of 'nine times nine equals one,' and the number 'five' is considered unlucky. How about we make it nine instead?"
He rubbed his hands together with a forced smile and made up a serious face.
Yun Li was in a good mood, a smile always on her lips. Hearing these shameless words, she was not unhappy at all, but generously waved her hand and took out four more books.
Master Zhidu was satisfied and thanked him repeatedly. After Yun Li turned and left, he carefully opened the top book. After only one glance, his hands trembled with excitement.
Suppressing his excitement, he found a piece of cloth and carefully wrapped the nine scriptures in it.
Once he has finished dealing with the trivial matters, he will go into seclusion to properly study these nine scriptures.
That day, after Yun Li collected Jiang Ting's supernatural abilities and put them back in their place, he left Yunshan Temple.
Not long after she left, Black Hawk and the awakened Zhao Xu arrived.
When they learned that Yun Li had left, the two were filled with regret and did not have a chance to thank her properly in person.
"Master Zhidu, you've really done a poor job as a host. Yun, that person saved our lives, why didn't you let her stay a little longer?"
Black Hawk stood at the door of the cabin, looking at the bamboo covering the mountainside and sighing.
Zhao Xu also sighed, his eyes behind his glasses gazing wistfully at Zhi Du.
Zhi Du smiled and explained, "Esteemed benefactors, it's not that I don't want her to stay, but she has very important matters to attend to, and I cannot keep her here."
"What is it!"
"Danger?"
Black Hawk and Zhao Xu asked at the same time.
Master Zhidu: "I don't know if it's dangerous or not, but I'm sure that another family will probably die."
When he was invited to the Zhao family to look at the feng shui layout, he saw Yun Guiyue and realized that the Zhao family's wealth all came from Yun Guiyue. At that time, he roughly understood what was going on.
The young benefactor is a relative of Yun Guiyue. Given her personality, once she learns the truth, the Zhao family should be doomed.
Upon hearing that another family was about to die, Black Hawk and Zhao Xu immediately wondered if some members of the Min family had changed their names and surnames, which led to their discovery.
"Master, do you know which one it is?" Black Hawk asked.
"Benefactor Wu, what do you intend to do after finding out?"
"Of course I'll go help," Zhao Xu replied without hesitation.
Zhi Du looked at the two of them, then shook his head, "This old monk does not know."
It's better not to tell them, because their abilities are a bit of a hindrance, and it's better for the young benefactor to have more room to perform on his own.
The two of them immediately realized that the old monk was lying.
Zhao Xu pushed up his glasses and said, "Master, she is our savior. Knowing that she was going to kill someone, how could we stand idly by? Even if we are not capable enough, we can still hand her a knife."
"Young benefactor, you possess lightning and wind; you have no need for a knife," Master Zhidu said with a smile, looking at the two of them.
Black Hawk, Zhao Xu: "..."
"Why won't the master tell us?" Black Hawk asked.
"I'm afraid you'll hold us back."
Master Zhidu's blunt truth made the two blush, and they forgot that they still had to persuade Jiang Ting to join the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, so they hurriedly took their leave.
……
Yun Li arrived at a small seaside village carrying a basket covered with a cloth.
The village was small, and the houses were dilapidated, clearly indicating poverty.
While using his mental energy to scan the surroundings, he followed the blood droplets suspended in the basket.
After walking for about half an hour, we arrived at a beach that was crowded with people.
These people were digging for seafood in the sand.
Yun Li scanned the area with her mental energy and accurately located the woman who looked similar to her, Yun Guiyue.
She wore coarse linen clothes like everyone else and dug in the sand with a shovel.
You can tell at a glance that they're not doing well.
She was puzzled. Both branches of the Yun family that left overseas had taken a lot of money with them, so why was she living in such poverty?
Master Zhidu said she was an adopted daughter of the Zhao family, so why would she want to be an adopted daughter of someone else?
Where are the other members of the Yun family?
While pondering various questions, Yun Li unknowingly walked to Yun Guiyue's side.
