Chapter 494 It’s over
"I see."

Huikong sighed softly, his chest shaking: "So Huijue and Huixin originally planned to create a big momentum in the temple during the Cold Prayer Festival..."

There was no more blood flowing from his mouth at this time. He had swallowed the blood and the tongue that he had bitten off and chewed into pieces.

He opened his mouth and sighed, revealing a broken tongue and blood on his teeth.

But Fu Qingzhou did not feel the bloody horror, but instead felt respect in his heart.

"Exactly."

He said softly, "Now that the Cold Prayer Festival is less than three days away, perhaps we should make some preparations in advance."

"Donor Fu, there is no need to be so anxious." Huikong clasped his hands together: "Now that our temple has encountered a major change, I am afraid it will be difficult to open to the public during the Cold Prayer Festival, not to mention..."

He smiled slightly and said, "Huixin has been killed, Huijue has also escaped. It is still unknown whether their original plan will still be carried out."

Fu Qingzhou nodded: "That's true... What does the master mean?"

"Let's go back and rest first."

Huikong smiled and said, "After this fierce battle, both the donor and the Jinchan Temple need to take a good rest."

Although he was smiling, his smile was inevitably a little bleak and sad.

Huijue was just a rebel, but he actually killed more than half of the monks in the temple. This will probably leave a huge hole in Huikong's heart that will never be erased.

After a moment of silence, Fu Qingzhou bowed his head slightly to him as a salute, and said calmly: "In that case, we will leave. I have some questions I would like to ask you, so let's wait until next time."

"good."

Huikong also returned the greeting: "Donor Fu, we will see each other soon."

With the support of Tang Jiao and Yuan Ziping, Fu Qingzhou turned around and walked towards the mountain gate.

But after taking only two steps, they stopped again.

Fu Qingzhou turned around and whispered, "Master... there are some things I just want to say."

Huikong was startled, and a voice came out from his chest: "Donor Fu, please feel free to speak."

"Hui Jue has been planning for so long and has laid so many hidden tricks, but you didn't notice it and didn't have any countermeasures." Fu Qingzhou's voice was slightly cold: "You knew to send Yuan Zhen to ask me for help, which means you actually knew what Hui Jue did."

"You said you were weak and you had other considerations, I believed you, but judging from the results now, as the strongest person in Jinchan Temple and the head of the Discipline Committee, you really haven't done well enough."

"Since I entered the temple, I have seen mostly tricks. Even the tests seem like playing games. There are so many monks in the temple who could have stood on our side, but they have become pawns of Huijue... Master Huikong, you may be one of the strongest in the world, or a wise monk, but when it comes to doing things, you are too inconsiderate."

As he said that, Fu Qingzhou turned his head and sighed: "With this little ability, don't even think about getting in touch with the court and becoming bigger and stronger. Go back to the mountains as soon as possible and learn how to be a good person and do things first."

After saying that, he stopped talking, nodded slightly to Tang Jiao and Yuan Ziping, and let them carry him and walk away slowly.

Yue Heng stood not far away. He clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Huikong, whom he had met once before, then followed Fu Qingzhou away.

Zhao Yuan stayed a little longer. He opened his mouth but no sound came out. He seemed to say something silently to Huikong, then he tightened the scabbard in his hand, turned around and left with the others.

Huikong stood there in a daze for a long time.

It was not until the figures of Fu Qingzhou and others reached the mountain gate and were about to disappear that he sighed heavily, then bent down and bowed deeply in the direction of Fu Qingzhou.

……

On the way back, Yuan Ziping naturally didn't need to carry the carriage covered with talisman paper anymore.

Jinchan Temple is on a mountain, and horses cannot climb the stairs. Yue Heng and Zhao Yuan climb the stairs too slowly, so they came up with such a strange trick... On the way from Zhangjian Academy to Jinchan Temple, Yue Heng pasted yellow talismans all over the carriage, making it float slightly, and then Yuan Ziping dragged it up the mountain.

At this time, Yuan Ziping wanted to help someone, so he simply left the carriage at the gate of Jinchan Temple and left it there.

After they got down the mountain, Fu Qingzhou just sat on a rock by the roadside for a while, and Yuan Ziping had already trotted out and returned with two rented carriages in a short while.

"Brother Bai." Fu Qingzhou smiled at Zhao Yuan: "This time it's really thanks to your scabbard, otherwise I really don't know how it would end."

"Haha, Brother Fu, this is cause and effect."

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Back then... this scabbard originally belonged to your master, but by some strange coincidence it came into my hands. Now that you are in trouble, it has saved your life. Everything is cause and effect."

"and……"

He squinted his eyes and said, "Without you, I would not have seen such an exciting scene! It's so interesting!"

"Yes."

Fu Qingzhou smiled at him and said, "I am too weak today. I will thank you later. I will come to visit you when I have recovered."

"That's a deal." Zhao Yuan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder gently: "We two brothers need to have a good talk."

As he was speaking, Yuan Ziping came up to him.

"Mr. Bai."

He called out carefully, "Your car has been rented and the driver has been arranged. We are going to the Sword Academy."

"Okay." Zhao Yuan nodded slightly: "Brother Fu, then I'll say goodbye first."

After saying that, he bowed to Tang Jiao and Yue Heng again.

When he looked at Tang Jiao, his eyes were just a little complicated, but when he looked at Yue Heng, the meaning in his eyes was so varied that it was difficult to describe.

But in the end, he said nothing, strode towards the carriage that Yuan Ziping had rented for him, jumped into the carriage, and left in a cloud of dust.

Fu Qingzhou also got on the carriage with great effort with the help of Tang Jiao and Yuan Ziping. When the carriage slowly started, he finally felt as if waking up from a dream and realized... everything today was over.

"Big brother."

Tang Jiao suddenly asked softly: "Why are you crying?"

"what?"

Fu Qingzhou was startled and reached out to wipe the corner of his eyes. They were indeed a little wet, but he himself was not aware of it at all.

“Nothing.” He shook his head and smiled, wiping away the tears from his eyes: “A guy might be dead, and I don’t know if there is a chance to find him back… Maybe I’m a little sad.”

At this moment, he suddenly realized that Yue Heng, who was sitting next to him, was trembling very violently, and his legs were shaking so hard that the carriage was shaking a little.

"what happened to you?"

Fu Qingzhou turned his head in surprise.

Yue Heng stared with his eyes wide open, his body still trembling. He slowly turned his head and lowered his voice to ask: "Bai Xiaochuan... is he... the emperor?"

"!!!"

Fu Qingzhou was startled, and Tang Jiao also covered her mouth: "Why are you..."

"I... I was just following him..." Yue Heng's teeth chattered as he spoke word by word, "I saw the way Li Jingzhe looked at him, the way Master Huikong looked at him... That, that is definitely not an ordinary royal relative..."

"and……"

He showed an expression that seemed to want to cry but could not: "The look in your eyes now proves that I was right!"

Fu Qingzhou smiled helplessly: "Brother Yue, you are always very courageous, even if you knew, you wouldn't be so scared, right?"

"you do not know……"

Yue Heng hugged his head tightly, inserted his ten fingers into his hair, raised his head and let out a long cry: "I have committed a capital crime!"
