Chapter 604: Self-Reliance
This was the first time Shi Chan had encountered a donor asking to protect someone. As a monk, compassion is the foundation, and protecting people is a matter of course.
He agreed, but didn't know what preparations should be made to protect people and what to guard against.
Shi Chan felt that the two senior brothers had been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years and should be much more experienced than himself, who had been killing pigs all year round, so he came to ask.
Lu Yang looked down at the assassin.
Originally, he still had to go to the opposite side to ask if there was a girl named Kong Que, so as not to let the assassin lie.
No need to ask this time.
Meng Jingzhou looked at Lu Yang on his left, who saved the beauty, and then looked at Shi Chan on his right, who could protect the beauty.
How did he encounter a robbery cultivator?
Robbery cultivator, why are you hiding in my room for no reason? Go rob someone. If you don't rob someone, how can it be my turn to save the beauty?
The robbery cultivator didn't go to the wrong room. He just felt that there would be no new guests late at night, so he hid in an empty room, preparing to wait for Fuling to fall asleep and steal that three-hundred-year-old thunder-struck ganoderma.
Who could have thought that three people would come to stay so late.
It could only be said that like Meng Jingzhou, it belonged to bad luck.
Lu Yang combed through the process of what happened just now and felt that he had figured it out. He said to Shi Chan: "Go call Miss Kong Que over and say that the assassin has been caught."
The air froze.
Shi Chan recited an Amitabha: "Donor, no need to thank me. This is all the credit of my two senior brothers. The poor monk did not contribute to this matter."
Worthy of being a master, he caught the person so quickly.
"Kong Que thanks the master!"
The two girls saw each other and were speechless for a while.
"No..." Fuling just wanted to deny it, but a layer of blurred memory suddenly surged into her heart, "Yes, I have a twin sister, but she got lost when I was very young."
Shi Chan shook his head gently: "A monk should be compassionate. Saving people is the poor monk's duty. How can I want money?"
Kong Que was confused by Shi Chan. Shi Chan didn't explain further, and according to Lu Yang's meaning, brought Miss Kong Que to Fuling's room.
Shi Chan continued to refuse: "The poor monk is the Buddha."
"Master, you recognized the wrong person. My name is Fuling."
"Ah?"
Shi Chan suddenly noticed Fuling and was very puzzled: "Donor Kong Que, why are you here?"
Kong Que thought he was being modest and handed a storage ring to Shi Chan: "These are some spirit stones, please accept them, Master."
"Donor Fuling and Donor Kong Que look exactly the same."
She originally thought about sleeping in the same room as Master Shi Chan tonight.
"This is not for the master, but incense money donated to the Buddha."
"Senior Brother Shi Chan, what's going on?"
Shi Chan was surprised. Could it be that the one lying on the ground was the assassin?
That's right, this black suit really doesn't look like a good person.
Miss Kong Que hid in Shi Chan's room, holding the Buddhist beads left by Shi Chan, and was overjoyed to learn that the assassin had been caught.
Lu Yang was very surprised: "Girl, do you have a sister?"
Fuling was the first to break the silence. Her lips trembled, and she stuttered, tears flowing down unconsciously: "Sister?"
"You, are the younger sister?"
"Sister!"
"Younger sister!"
The two girls hugged together and cried bitterly. They got lost at the age of two and met again eighteen years later. The scene was moving.
"Sister, where did you go at that time? Why are you called Kong Que now?"
Kong Que touched her tears and cried: "After I got lost, I was picked up by the master. The master took me around the neighborhood, but couldn't find you, so he took me back to the Taoist temple and raised me up."
"I was young at the time and couldn't remember my name, so the master named me Kong Que."
Lu Yang thought to himself, I knew that such a professional assassin shouldn't have recognized the wrong object. Sure enough, there was a reason.
Fuling's room was overcrowded for a while: Lu Yang's three, Fuling, Kong Que, the assassin, and the robbery cultivator brought by Meng Jingzhou.
Seven people gathered together.
Lu Yang scanned everyone silently. There were sisters who recognized each other, an assassin with bad eyes, a robbery cultivator who wanted to steal things. He was originally just trying to stay in an inn.
I just went to the wrong room, how did so many things happen in a blink of an eye?
Since he already knew the cause and effect of the matter, Lu Yang was embarrassed to say that Fuling should take the assassin to the government office herself.
Two sisters who had just recognized each other, one carrying an assassin, one carrying a robbery cultivator, going to the government office to report the case while talking and laughing, how could this picture be wrong?
"Let's go, send the person to the government office." Lu Yang sighed and decided to be a good person to the end.
And he couldn't run away either. Even if he didn't go to the government office, the constables would come to find him to record a statement as a witness.
The seven people walked out of the inn lively, which stunned the boss.
He didn't remember there were so many people upstairs.
Lu Yang explained the cause and effect to the boss, which made the boss break out in cold sweat.
Fortunately, there were three young heroes, otherwise there would be a murder case in his inn. He didn't even dare to think about what happened after that. Who would dare to stay in their inn?
The boss thanked them repeatedly, waived the food and accommodation for the three of Lu Yang, and promised that the three could stay here as long as they wanted.
The sisters almost had an accident at the inn. Out of apology, the boss also waived the fees for the sisters and made the same promise.
The five people went out carrying two people, and not long after walking, they met the patrolling constables. After listening to the process of the matter, the constables hurriedly took the seven people back to the government office to understand the process of the matter in detail.
The subsequent process was consistent with what Lu Yang expected. The assassin and the robbery cultivator were handed over to the government office for processing. The three of them made statements as witnesses. When it ended, each of them was issued a banner for seeing justice and doing what is right, as well as a spirit stone reward.
This time Shi Chan didn't decline.
After tossing about these things, the three were physically and mentally exhausted and could finally return to the inn to rest. The two sisters were just reunited and were very energetic.
After a night, Lu Yang stretched, his whole body was comfortable, and his whole person was energetic.
"Old Meng, get up!"
Lu Yang knocked on the door thoughtfully, waking up Meng Jingzhou.
Meng Jingzhou opened the door with a bad expression, staring at Lu Yang gloomily.
Lu Yang ignored Meng Jingzhou's eyes.
Shi Chan walked out of the room, radiant, completely different from the state when he returned to the room last night, clearly rested well: "Senior Brother Lu Yang, good morning."
"Where are you going today? Are you going to perform Buddhist rites?"
"Indeed."
Lu Yang teased: "I thought you were going to take the spirit stones rewarded by the government office last night to the brothel to temper your state of mind."
"Senior brother is joking. One should not accept a reward without merit. The poor monk didn't do anything yesterday. It was thanks to the two senior brothers that I got a good reputation for seeing justice and doing what is right. The spirit stones given by the imperial court are hard to decline, so I will donate them to the sect as spirit stones given by the imperial court. How can they be used on the poor monk personally?"
"Do you want me to give you some spirit stones?" Meng Jingzhou smiled.
Shi Chan shook his head and refused: "The poor monk uses the spirit stones given by Senior Brother Meng to go to the brothel. This is not the poor monk going to the brothel, but Senior Brother Meng going to the brothel, which cannot achieve the effect of tempering."
"The master often taught the poor monk before he died that one must be self-reliant. The spirit stones for the poor monk to go to the brothel must be earned by his own ability." ===== CHAPTER 605 =====
