Fang Yan put the drenched middle-aged nun on a flat big stone and gently patted her abdomen to make her spit out all the dirty water she drank. Then he said to Baili Lu, who was also holding a nun behind him, "Baili Lu, put the nun down and take a rest. I'll save the rest … Your injury hasn't healed yet. You can't soak in the water anymore."
"I'm fine." Baili Lu wiped the water droplets off his face and said, "It's more important to save people. I won't die."
Ye Rou stood by the big stone and was treating the nuns who had been fished out of the flood.
Hearing Fang Yan's words, Ye Rou stood up and said, "You guys stay here. I'll go save people."
"No need." Fang Yan grabbed Ye Rou and said, "Your kung fu is the best. You must stay and protect them … What if another Song Zanyang comes? What if Jiang Junling comes with people? "
Fang Yan's worry was not unreasonable. The flood came suddenly and inexplicably.
Fang Yan had walked upstream. Although he knew there was a waterfall above, the waterfall's head was very small. When it fell into the stream below, it immediately disintegrated. Like today, he suddenly turned into a scourge. This was something that had never happened before.
Besides, even if there was a landslide and the stone dam blocking the reservoir had collapsed … Why didn't it collapse earlier or later? Why did it have to collapse today when Fang Yan and Ye Rou had walked hundreds of miles to Lotus Temple?
Lotus Temple was built no less than a hundred years ago. It was said that it had existed since the Qing Dynasty. In such a long history, it had never encountered such an unlucky thing as a flash flood.
Obviously, this was deliberately done by someone.
Someone blew up the dam of the reservoir on the top of the mountain and wanted to drown all the people in the temple.
What kind of person would be able to do such a ruthless and malicious thing? Of course, it was Fang Yan's old enemy, Jiang Junling.
The flood was too fast and too strong. Before Fang Yan had time to run into the temple, the wall and the stone house behind Fang Yan had all collapsed.
When he ran into the Buddha Hall to save people, he found that Phoenix and the nuns of the Lotus Temple were not in the Buddha Hall, but went to the front yard to check the body of Tao Addict Song Transplanting …
When Fang Yan and Ye Rou, who had just arrived, were about to make a detour to the front yard, the wooden structure of the temple collapsed with a loud bang.
Fang Yan and Ye Rou hurried to dodge. When they ran to the front yard, the front yard was already flooded, and the nuns had been washed away.
At this moment, Fang Yan and Ye Rou couldn't care less about favoritism. They each grabbed two people and ran toward the hillside …
Most of the nuns of the Lotus Temple had been rescued, but Phoenix and the old nun Jing Hui were still nowhere to be seen. This made Fang Yan's heart burn with anxiety. Could it be that someone had come and taken the Phoenix away?
If so, he and Ye Rou and Baili Lu's trip to the Lotus Temple would be a fiasco. At that time, they would be at the mercy of a villain like Jiang Junling.
Baili Lu's face was full of murderous intent, and he said fiercely, "It must be Jiang Junling. Only this kind of lonely ghost, who has no father or son and has been expelled by the family, can do such a thing …"
The people of Swallow Dock attached great importance to the concept of clan. For Baili Lu, Jiang Junling, who was expelled by the family, could not take the family name when he was alive, and could not be buried in the ancestral grave after death, was extremely pitiful and sad. In Baili Lu's heart, there was no more serious punishment than this.
"Now is not the time to pursue the murderer," Fang Yan said with a cold expression. He had long known that he and Jiang Junling were actually in a situation where they would fight to the death. In this world, he was either dead or already dead. However, he still couldn't accept that Jiang Junling turned into a murderous butcher just to kill him, and let a group of people die with him.
Who did the nuns of Lotus Temple offend? Just because they were kind-hearted enough to take in a homeless woman, they brought a fatal disaster upon themselves?
Fang Yan shook off the water stains on his hair, and said in a cold voice, "Whether Jiang Junling did it or not, we will put this account on Jiang Junling's head."
Fang Yan looked at Ye Rou and said, "Baili Lu's injury is serious, and he can't soak in the water anymore. Jiang Junling and the others may have a backup plan. If they send more masters, you will have to help resist them … I'll go to find Phoenix. "
"Be careful." Ye Rou was not an indecisive woman. Hearing what Fang Yan said made sense, she immediately changed her mind.
Fang Yan nodded and jumped into the flood with a plop.
Ye Rou looked at Baili Lu with burning eyes. Baili Lu pointed to the wound on his chest and said, "I'm really injured."
"Fang Yan is also injured," Ye Rou said.
"Okay. I owe you two. "Baili Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his pocket and poured it on his wound. Then, he jumped into the flood with a plop.
Because Lotus Temple was at the foot of the mountain, the continuous flood raised the water level at the bottom of the U-shaped gully, and the entire jungle was flooded. In the vast sea of water and the gloomy jungle, if there was someone accompanying him, Fang Yan's situation would be slightly better.
Although Fang Yan had been holding on, Ye Rou knew very well that he was also injured.
He was injured when he came back from the Millennium Palace mission, and his injury had not healed until now.
"Thank you," Ye Rou shouted at Baili Lu, who was swimming forward vigorously.
Baili Lu grinned and thought that this woman was really interesting. She would do anything for her man. Baili Lu was very curious. If he didn't take the initiative to jump in just now, would she have kicked him down?
The answer to this question was not too difficult to guess. In less than two seconds, Baili Lu nodded firmly. He thought that she would definitely do that. With his understanding of her, she would.
"With a wife like this, what more can I ask for?"
Baili Lu had to admit that he was a little envious of Fang Yan. It seemed that he would never be able to catch up to him in this lifetime. He was inferior to him in all aspects.
Fang Yan was completely soaked in the water. At a glance, he saw that without the water, he was only a tree.
The flood rushed from top to bottom, and naturally, it brought people or things downstream.
Now that the main temple of Lotus Temple had been washed away, only a few lonely stone houses were helplessly fighting against the flood. A large area of the forest below was flooded, and the deepest part of the water had already reached the top of the trees.
Fang Yan looked around blankly, not knowing where to find Phoenix.
"Phoenix …" Fang Yan shouted loudly.
No one answered.
"Phoenix …" Fang Yan shouted as he swam deeper into the forest.
Still no one answered.
Further downstream was the bottom of the mountain stream, where the water was the deepest.
Fang Yan was not afraid of water. When he was at Swallow Dock, he often went into the river with his friends to catch fish and shrimp. His friends all developed excellent swimming skills.
She was more worried that something had happened to Phoenix. This mountain was so big, and the water was so deep. Moreover, Jiang Junling kept playing dirty tricks behind her back … Who knew what else they would do?
"Phoenix …" Fang Yan shouted Phoenix's name at the top of his voice as he swam. "An Xiaoxiao, where are you?"
"Fang Yan …" A woman's voice came with a sobbing tone.
"Phoenix?" Fang Yan was overjoyed and shouted.
"Fang Yan, I'm here … Fang Yan, Master is dying. Come and save Master …" Phoenix's voice was very urgent.
Fang Yan followed the voice and swam deep into the forest. Soon he saw Phoenix and the old nun Jing Hui leaning on a huge tree trunk.
Phoenix didn't want the monks and nuns to see a bloody scene, so she took them to the front yard to save the Tao Addict Song Zining. Just as they sat in a circle chanting, a torrent suddenly came.
The young nuns reacted quickly. They either hugged each other in pairs or grabbed big trees or wooden pillars. More people were washed downstream by the flood.
The old nun Jing Hui was old and weak, so her reaction was slow. She was the first victim washed away by the flood.
Phoenix saw the old nun Jing Hui being carried away by the flood. She shouted and hurried to the old nun Jing Hui. She finally caught Master Jing Hui, but it was difficult to resist the force of the flood. The two of them hugged each other and were brought deep into the forest.
The old nun Jing Hui was weak. She couldn't bear being soaked and rolling in the flood. When she slid down, her forehead hit a stone. Now her head was bleeding and she was dying.
Phoenix held the old nun Jing Hui's body and shouted to Fang Yan, "Fang Yan, come and save Master … Master is hurt. I beg you, please save her … "
Fang Yan sped up and swam to Phoenix's side. Seeing that Phoenix's mental state was still good, he was relieved. Then he reached out to check the old nun Jing Hui's pulse. Her pulse was weak, and it had been a long time. Her vital signs were gradually fading.
Fang Yan shook his head at Phoenix. The old nun Jing Hui couldn't be saved. She was already exhausted, and now she encountered such a disaster. This day had just come ahead of time.
"Woo …" Phoenix covered her mouth and cried bitterly.
Although the old nun Jing Hui had been unwilling to shave her hair and head, she had long regarded her as her Master in her heart.
When Phoenix moved into the Lotus Temple, she was in despair and had lost confidence in everything in the world. At that time, she had no family, relatives or friends around her …
The only people who accompanied her were the old nun Jing Hui and a group of friends from the Lotus Temple.
After spending a few months together, they became her family and the group of people she cared about the most in her heart.
She got quiet and peace here, as well as the care and love that she had lost and regained.
Hearing Fang Yan say that the old nun Jing Hui couldn't be saved, Phoenix was heartbroken. Another close family member was going to leave.
Hearing Phoenix's cry, the old nun Jing Hui opened her eyes.
She wanted to reach out to help Phoenix wipe her tears, but she couldn't lift her hand halfway.
She looked at Phoenix with a smile and said with a loving face, "Silly child, I knew this day would come … I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to be sad."
"Master …"
"I originally wanted to send you out … and leave after you come out of the mountain … Now it seems that I can't wait anymore … Go back. Go back. "
The old nun Jing Hui held Fang Yan's hand tightly and said, "Do you know what I regret the most in my life?"
Fang Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"The thing I regret the most … is that I didn't forgive that man." The old nun Jing Hui said in a soft but sorrowful voice, "I didn't eat meat and prayed to the Buddha for decades, but my heart was unsettled all my life."
With a kind and compassionate smile on her face, the old nun Jing Hui slowly closed her eyes.
All virtues were complete, and all evils were extinguished. Master Jing Hui passed away.
