Li Yi and the other two came out of the meditation room and walked out of the Cold Mountain Temple, ready to go home. Along the way, they heard many people talking about what just happened.
Li Yi was actually not willing to be in the limelight. The monk with the iron rod was too much of a bully. A foreign monk dared to be so arrogant in the land of the Jing Kingdom. Of course, the most important thing was that Xiao Huan was involved. If that bastard had not dodged so quickly, he would have lost a leg.
The family's carriage and the Li Residence's were parked together. He told the coachmen to inform the Old Mistress and Ruyi. Li Yi, Ruyi, and Xiao Huan went back first.
As long as it was not on the city's green stone slabs, the carriage was a kind of torture. The carriage slowly went down the mountain path, shaking violently. Li Yi did not forget the suffering he and Li Xuan suffered when they went up the mountain, so he decided to go down the stone steps. The carriage from the Residence would wait for them at the foot of the mountain.
The Cold Mountain Temple's Water and Land Conference was originally very lively, but today was a special event for the dignitaries. The path that ordinary believers took was even less crowded than usual.
"Wait a minute."
Li Yi was educating Xiao Huan about the Bodhisattva's gender. The little servant girl's mouth was in an O shape because she found out that the Bodhisattva was a man. Miss.Liu suddenly stopped and whispered.
Li Yi stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.
"Who is it? Come out!" Miss.Liu walked in front of Li Yi and Xiao Huan and said lightly.
Under Li Yi's surprised gaze, a figure walked out of the dense forest in front of them.
"It's him!" Li Yi's pupils shrank slightly.
"You know him?" Miss.Liu turned around and asked.
Li Yi quickly answered, "It's the foreign monk just now. He's the one who almost hurt Xiao Huan."
"This poor monk is here to send you to paradise early!" The middle-aged monk was expressionless. Although he still had doubts about the exposure of his tracks, it was no longer important.
Holding the iron rod in his hand, he dashed towards Li Yi.
Miss.Liu's eyes flashed. It was enough for her to know that the other party was an enemy and not a friend.
Clang!
A white light flashed like a waterfall, and her figure instantly disappeared on the spot.
Li Yi guarded Xiao Huan behind him, in case there were other monks rushing out from other places.
Soon, it was proven that the monk had come alone to deliver his head.
Li Yi was not worried about Ruyi's safety. Although the monk gave him a dangerous feeling, he was probably not as dangerous as Ruyi.
Sure enough, although the iron rod in the monk's hand was powerful, and every swing of it was as heavy as a thousand catties, the stone slabs of the stairs would scatter in all directions. However, it could not even touch the corner of Miss.Liu's clothes.
Seeing that she was like a butterfly fluttering in the wind, strolling leisurely amidst the shadows of the staff that filled the sky, the last bit of nervousness in Li Yi's heart disappeared at once. Instead, he was a little envious.
He was afraid that he would not be able to reach her state in his lifetime.
However, looking at the monk who was like a human flesh destroyer, he could not help but feel a chill. If the iron rod hit him, it would not just be a matter of breaking a few ribs.
Deep anger rose in his heart. Was this still a damn monk? If he did not go down the mountain with Ruyi today, he would not have a good ending.
Just for such a small matter, did he have to fight and kill?
Madman, this was a motherf * cking madman!
Li Yi did not know that at this moment, the madman in his heart, had cold sweat on his bald head.
He had originally thought that with his martial arts, it would not take much effort for him to deal with the young man who did not even have the strength to truss a chicken. However, he did not expect that this woman, who had appeared out of nowhere, would become an insurmountable mountain in front of him.
Liu Ruyi only exchanged a few blows with the monk who blocked her way, and she frowned.
Not to say that they were evenly matched, she had thought that she would meet an expert who could catch her eye. However, apart from brute force, this monk had no other skills. He was even far inferior to the old monk named Tan Yin.
She was not in the mood to tangle with him anymore. With a thought, the sword in her hand suddenly sped up, and a deep cut appeared on the middle-aged monk's arm. The iron rod also fell from his hand.
Knowing that it was impossible to take that person's life today, if she continued to tangle with him, she was afraid that even she would have to die here. The middle-aged monk no longer cared about the iron rod, and with a stamp of his toes, he flew backward and disappeared into the depths of the forest in an instant.
Miss.Liu originally wanted to chase after him, but after looking back at Li Yi and Xiao Huan, she stopped.
"Damn crazy monk …" Encountering a crazy monk, Li Yi's face was slightly gloomy. After going down the mountain, he did not go home first, but directly went to the county government.
The capital magistrate had just been banished, and the new capital magistrate had not yet taken office. All the affairs of the county government, big or small, were personally handled by the county magistrate.
The current Li Yi was not the same as before. He would not sit on the bench in the county government. As long as it was related to nobility, it would be a big deal. The county magistrate patted his chest and said that he would definitely increase the efforts to thoroughly investigate this matter.
The portraits of the monks from the Qi Kingdom were also drawn by Li Yi. As long as they submitted them to the Ministry of Justice, they would issue a wanted notice. Within the capital and the surrounding counties, there would no longer be a place for those monks to hide.
"Uncle Li, these days, ask the guards at home to tighten the patrol, and pay special attention to the monks who appear in the village." After returning home, Li Yi specially reminded Uncle Li.
"Young Master, rest assured. If they dare to come, I will definitely not let them go back!" Uncle Li's face flashed with an ominous glint. After saying these harsh words, he immediately went to warn the guards in the manor.
MIngzhu was right. Those monks without eyebrows and holding iron rods were indeed crazy. Who knew what they would do. Li Yi somewhat regretted asking Ruyi to let him go just now. This kind of person who hid in the dark and did not know when he would stab you with a knife was the best way to solve the problem once and for all.
At this moment, on an official road outside the capital, a horse carriage was speeding at high speed.
"I have said that I will give the Third Prince an explanation for this matter. Why did you act on your own?" Old monk Zhi Xin looked at the pale-faced middle-aged monk and said with a frown.
At this moment, the middle-aged monk's face was as pale as a piece of paper. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat. The wound on his right arm was wrapped with a white cloth, and blood was continuously seeping out.
However, although his face was pale, his expression was rather calm, as if he was not the one who was injured. In the face of old monk Zhi Xin's questioning, he did not say a word.
"After all, we are foreigners. There is no longer a place for us to stay in the capital after assassinating the nobles of the Jing Kingdom. We must leave immediately." The old monk said again. Then, he sat upright and did not say a word.
