Chapter 410: Go? No!

When Fu Qingzhou and Qiu Chan returned to the courtyard together, they happened to run into Yue Heng.

For some reason, he was wandering outside the gate of the courtyard with a sad look on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

"Hey, Brother Fu! Miss Qiu? You're back!"

When Yue Heng saw the two of them jumping off the carriage, he immediately showed joy on his face, stepped forward and grabbed Fu Qingzhou's wrist: "Come, come, I have something to tell you!"

Fu Qingzhou knew that he had gone to Jinchan Temple today, and he understood that he had made some discovery.

"it is good."

He patted Yue Heng on the shoulder and said to Qiu Chan, "You should listen too."

Yue Heng quickly recounted his discoveries in Jinchan Temple, including his conversation with the strange little monk, which he repeated word for word.

After listening, Fu Qingzhou and Qiu Chan looked at each other with strange expressions.

"I think..." Qiu Chan slowly started to speak, but just as she opened her mouth, Fu Qingzhou interrupted her: "Don't be impatient."

After saying that, he looked at Yue Heng and said, "Brother Yue, you were wandering outside the courtyard gate just now, and you seemed to be confused about something. Can you tell me what it is?"

"Yes... there is something I can't figure out."

Yue Heng whispered, "If the magic style in the scripture was mixed up by later generations, why is the same style left on the big iron box?"

Hearing this, Fu Qingzhou laughed.

"Brother Yue, this is what the master wanted to tell us."

He smiled and said, "Let's go into the yard and talk."

After that, he took the lead and pushed the door into the yard.

Yue Heng was confused and looked at Qiu Chan blankly: "Miss Qiu, what does Brother Fu mean?"

"Mr. Yue..." Qiu Chan glanced at him with a smile: "You still have a lot of room to grow."

Yue Heng: “?”

Entering the courtyard, Yuan Ziping was busy in the kitchen, and Zhu Mei followed behind him with shining eyes - as expected, Tang Jiao was not there again.

She had been going out for longer and longer periods of time in the past few days, and it was obvious that she was a little anxious about investigating her father's case... Although Fu Qingzhou had repeatedly advised her not to be anxious, she had nothing else to do at the moment, so she naturally put all her thoughts here.

Seeing her like this, Fu Qingzhou didn't know what to say. After all, he felt a little guilty.

It was agreed that he would go to Beijing to help Tang Jiao investigate the Tang Zhun case, but in fact he had been busy with other things... Admittedly, it was one thing that Tang Jiao failed to find the elders who helped her back then, but if Fu Qingzhou devoted himself to the investigation, he should still be able to find some clues.

"What are you thinking, damn pervert?"

Qiu Chan slapped Fu Qingzhou on the back, pulling him back from his thoughts: "Your brother-in-law is anxiously waiting for you to answer his questions."

Fu Qingzhou came back to his senses and smiled: "Nothing, let's go and talk in a quiet place."

"I'll go make tea first." Upon hearing that, Yue Heng moved very quickly and went into the side courtyard.

Fu Qingzhou and Qiu Chan followed slowly behind. Qiu Chan tilted her head to glance at him and asked softly, "Are you thinking about sister Tang Jiao?"

"you really……"

Fu Qingzhou smiled bitterly: "Always so smart."

"Don't worry!" Qiu Chan said with a smile, "I talked to her, and she understands it. Her father's case has been shelved for such a long time, so it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer. But Li Qing... Sister Tang Jiao is also very worried about Li Xiaoyue. She also hopes that you can find Li Qing as soon as possible and reunite them."

Fu Qingzhou blinked and said, "Oh my god, what's going on?"

Qiu Chan: “?”

Fu Qingzhou winked and said, "It's rare to see you so understanding of human nature."

"?!"

Qiu Chan was furious: "Damn it, I gave you face, didn't I? Die!"

The two of them came to the side yard, playing and joking. Yue Heng had already quickly boiled water and placed the teacups.

"Brother Fu, tell me quickly." He asked, "What is the matter with that strange little monk? What do you mean by 'this is what he wants to tell us'?"

"Two possibilities."

Fu Qingzhou said as he sat down at the tea table: "The Golden Cicada Divine Shell Technique, which is the main skill of the Golden Cicada Temple, can make practitioners rejuvenate... like Huixin, he is obviously over fifty years old, but he looks like a handsome monk in his twenties."

"Therefore, the little monk you met, Brother Yue, can only be a practitioner more powerful than Hui Xin."

When he said this, Qiu Chan took over the conversation and said softly: "In Jinchan Temple, there are only two people who are more powerful than Huixin - one is Huijue and the other is Huikong."

"That's right." Fu Qingzhou nodded and said, "If it was Huijue... then his purpose was to confuse your judgment, Brother Yue, but I think this possibility is not high."

Yue Heng was startled: "Why?"

Before he entered Jinchan Temple, he was naturally told some things about Jinchan Temple, including that Huijue and Huixin were enemies, and Huikong and his disciple Yuanzhen might be their own people.

"If it was Huijue, what you did today would be enough to make him extremely suspicious."

Qiu Chan explained: "The spells on the big iron box are probably left by them, or at least... they also know their source. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yue Heng suddenly realized: "If I do that, he will know that I have seen the big iron box!"

At this point, he couldn't help but show a fear: "What should I do then?"

"Brother Yue, don't worry. I told you, this possibility is not high."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "If that person is really Huijue, even if he doesn't come to seize the treasure in person, he will send someone to follow you and find where we are... Either steal or rob and take the big iron box away, but at the moment, this has not happened."

Yue Heng was still worried: "How do you know? We haven't seen the big iron box since we came back!"

"Don't worry about that, Brother Yue." Fu Qingzhou consoled him, "The things are still with us, they are safe... Well, the water is boiling, let's make some tea."

The reason why he was so sure was... the magic circle that the Smoker had set up in the yard.

In order to guard against the assassin from Xiyu Pavilion, he asked the smoker to leave a lot of things in the yard. If someone broke in, the old ghost would definitely notice it, no matter what else.

But now everything is calm and apparently nothing like this happened.

"Of course, it could also be that Huijue is not in a hurry to grab things." Qiu Chan played with her thick braids and said leisurely, "But if that's the case, there's no need for him to show up."

Yue Heng gradually understood and started to make tea with his hands: "So, the little monk I saw... is that Master Huikong?"

"It's probably close to ten."

Fu Qingzhou nodded and said, "He showed up, obviously he already knows your identity and the relationship between you and me."

Yue Heng paused while pouring tea, his cheeks flushed: "Oh, that young man told a lot of lies in front of the master..."

"Haha, nothing."

Fu Qingzhou took the cup of tea and said softly, "The key point of this matter is that he tried to stop you from investigating."

"First, Master Huikong is telling us that the spell on this big iron box is very complicated and dangerous, so we should not try to crack it easily."

"Secondly, Yuan Zhen said that the blood cicada and the Buddhist robe were brought back by Yuan Wu, so the magic on the iron box was probably also blessed by Yuan Wu. And the style of this magic is the same as the strange scripture you saw, Brother Yue, which means..."

"Does this mean that there is someone in Jinchan Temple who has learned the Blood Sea Kasaya Kung Fu just like Yuanwu?!" Qiu Chan interrupted him and blurted out with a surprised look on her face.

Fu Qingzhou nodded solemnly: "Jinchan Temple moved to the capital nearly a hundred years ago, and the words left in the caves were also from that time, but Yuanwu's practice has only changed in the past ten years. Logically speaking, what Yuanwu learned from the ruins outside the Great Wall should not be completely consistent with what was left in Jinchan Temple."

"Master Huikong must have noticed something, but it was inconvenient for him to investigate, so he revealed this information."

Hearing him say this, Yue Heng scratched his head again: "Strange, he is the head monk of the Jinchan Temple. If there is an evil monk in the temple, how could he not investigate it? Unless... unless..."

The three of them looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"Unless, that person is not in the temple."

When these words were spoken, all three of them were stunned.

"You mean there are other people who have inherited the Blood Sea Robe Kung Fu out there?" Qiu Chan asked in a low voice.

Fu Qingzhou's expression also became strange: "The demon monk covering the sea, Yuan Wu, the strange ruins outside the pass, the mysterious successor of the Blood Sea Robe Skill..."

"Um, Brother Fu."

Yue Heng said softly, "I think Master Huikong... wants you to go find him in person?"

"No." Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "That's not the case... at least, not now."

Qiu Chan also agreed, "If he wanted you to enter the temple, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

Yue Heng was dizzy: "Forget it, Brother Fu, I don't think I can understand... How about you just tell me what to do next?"

"alright."

Fu Qingzhou drank the tea in his hand and said, "Brother Yue, don't worry about this for now. You should prepare for the exam. The minor imperial examination is very important to you. Don't fall behind in your studies."

"As for us..."

He looked at Qiu Chan and said, "First, find a way to deal with Hui Xin. After we get the evidence of their evil deeds, we will enter the Jinchan Temple."
