Tianyi

Chapter 10 Purple Clothes (4)

Xue Yi nodded, and then asked: "When the relics were stolen, your temple was performing rituals. May I ask, master, if there were any pilgrims staying overnight in the temple that day?"

As soon as these words came out, Pu Nian's expression changed drastically. He looked around and murmured, "What? Are you actually suspecting that there were outsiders in the temple that day? How is this possible... Amitabha, is this really possible?" I...I don’t know, senior brother, junior brother, do you know?”

Pu Neng was at a loss. He made two oh-oh sounds and looked straight at Pu Xing. Pu Xing opened his eyes and looked at Xue Yi. After a long while, he sighed and said: "Female donor, my temple's good reputation for hundreds of years must not be stained. Please tell me." Superborn.”

Xue Yi replied calmly: "Then, you just need to answer me whether you have it or not, and I won't ask you anymore."

Pu Xing was speechless for a long time and raised his head to the sky. Pu Nian's face turned green and red. He endured it for a while and said in a deep voice: "Elder brother, please answer this question from the sect master. In the name of the abbot of this temple, I order you to answer truthfully. "

Puxing withdrew his eyes, pierced Xueyi like a needle, and said in a colder tone: "Okay, I will answer you honestly, yes, there was indeed a pilgrim staying in my monk's room that day, and I let him in quietly, but this People will never harm me, so what will you do? Are you going to falsely accuse people of stealing treasures?"

But Pu Neng interrupted loudly and said: "I know that Senior Brother allowed someone to enter the temple. This is irrelevant. It is definitely not the person who stole the treasure. Even though I have doubts about Senior Brother, I can't use this matter to wrong him."

Xueyi turned to Pu Neng and asked again: "Then, I dare to ask the great monk protecting the Dharma, if you say it is irrelevant, how do you know that it is definitely irrelevant?"

Pu Neng blushed and remained silent. Pu Nian stared at him for a while, couldn't bear it, and shouted: "Junior brother, when you said you doubted Senior Brother in the temple, I asked you why, and you just said there was no one else. It's suspicious. There is no other reason. Why is it that the sect master is now asking, and there is some unrelated outsider? You must answer the sect master's question honestly, otherwise our temple is in danger and you will lose your duty to protect the Dharma."

Pu Neng was extremely angry and replied: "Senior brother, what does this matter have to do with outsiders? Outsiders have no idea that there is a hidden treasure. It is just the business of the three of us. It has nothing to do with outsiders' problems. Why should I Want to answer? Anyway, I failed in my duty if I couldn't find the treasure, and I sacrificed my life...I even said not to come, but you insist on me coming."

Pu Nian was furious. Seeing the three old monks clashing swords and crossbows, Xue Yi's clear voice came straight through and said loudly: "Three masters, please be patient. You have already answered all the questions I asked." You answered, no need to argue anymore, I will tell you where the lost treasure is."

Xue Yi's words were like melting snow and ice. The three monks immediately calmed down and looked back at Xue Yi intently, fearing that they would miss a word she said.

Xueyi straightened her hair and said in detail: "Master Puxing wants me to talk about transcending life. In fact, it is not difficult. Your pilgrim in the temple is an old friend of mine. I can guarantee that she will never steal the treasure. She was just being used by others. I guess she didn’t know that the valuable treasure lost in your temple was the Buddha’s relic. Therefore, I want to ask the three masters to agree to one thing on her behalf. After the relic is found, if If we see her again, the masters will ask her to come back to me without any difficulty."

Pu Xing's eyes immediately lit up, he looked at Xue Yi again, and said with his head: "Hmm, what a good Tianyi Sect Master, it turns out that he doesn't miss the old relationship. Sect Master, with your words, I will only be able to see Tianyi." The order of the sect is to obey, if the sect master has any questions, just tell them."
