Chapter 974 The Master Passed Away

No matter how strong the maintenance capabilities of the royalist secret base are, they will definitely not be able to leave the port in the next few days.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Li Chengxi turned to look at Yang Yiyi on the monitor next to him.

It was just past noon on his side, while it was the perfect morning sun on Yang Yiyi's side.

Since the abbot of Jingci Temple is in seclusion and meditation, I have to wait for him to come out before I can deliver the letter in person. Fortunately, there is no rush, and on the other hand, it is said that it will only take these two days.

When Yang Yiyi got up in the morning, she first practiced the Feidu Needle Technique that she had just learned from Taohuawu. As for the person she was practicing with...

Every morning when Wu Shaoyi opened his eyes, his legs were pricked like a hedgehog.

Yang Yiyi learned this in order to identify acupuncture points and practice the precise application of internal strength. While practicing with Wu Shaoyi, she can also treat her legs at the same time, which is a win-win situation.

It would take a long time for Wu Shaoyi's legs to recover. When leaving Taohuawu, Xing Mucheng specifically instructed him to perform acupuncture on the acupoints regularly and apply ointment for two hours after acupuncture.

Before leaving, Xing Mucheng also wrote a prescription. The medicinal materials used did not include any rare or exotic herbs. They were all easy to find in the pharmacy. All one had to do was take the prescription and ask the shop assistant to make the ointment.

After pricking Wu Shaoyi's legs into a hedgehog shape, Yang Yiyi began her daily routine of boxing practice.

As mentioned before, Yang Yiyi is not very good at practicing Tai Chi. She prefers the steady, accurate and powerful Bajiquan.

But powerful boxing can hurt the body. It's not obvious now because Yang Yiyi is still young and has a strong physique. When she gets older, all kinds of problems will come to her.

Therefore, the Rejuvenation Theory and Feidu Acupuncture Theory can also help Yang Yiyi maintain her health and avoid these problems.

Moreover, the set of CDs given by Li Chengxi contained not only Tai Chi and Bajiquan, but also a complete set of Ba Duan Jin.

There is a saying that the radio gymnastics that students practice now evolved from Ba Duan Jin. I don’t know whether it is true or not, but Ba Duan Jin is indeed a good exercise and health-preserving skill.

Yang Yiyi now practices two sets of Ba Duan Jin every morning, which not only helps her keep fit but also warms up. She then starts practicing other kung fu.

After finishing the last set of Phoenix Three Nods, Yang Yiyi wiped the sweat from her forehead, picked up the cooled teapot and poured it into her mouth.

And every time this happened, as long as I put down the teapot, I would see a group of boys lying on the wall with envious expressions on their faces.

This group of young boys all had their heads shaved in unison. They were orphans adopted by the Jingci Temple and were all lay disciples.

I don’t know if he was planning to learn secretly, but every time Yang Yiyi practiced, he would lie on the wall and watch.

Anyway, you are not afraid of being seen. The moves themselves are not important. What is important is the method of using the strength. You can't learn it just by watching. If you don't have a master to teach you, you have to figure it out bit by bit on your own.

Over time, Yang Yiyi no longer cared too much about someone climbing over the wall to learn secretly.

"Sister, can you teach me your boxing skills? I'll treat you to a chicken drumstick."

Among this group of little bald heads, the most conspicuous one is the one called Jingkong. From time to time, he can be seen running around the temple carrying a roasted rabbit or pheasant.

"Instead of learning from me, you should practice the Kung Fu taught by your master."

"But Master always asks us to do horse stance and waist swinging exercises, which are all basic exercises. So boring."

"But it's because basic skills are so important. I've been doing horse stance for ten years."

You must start practicing martial arts from a young age, otherwise you won’t be able to perform many moves when you grow up.

But the kids definitely want to learn some cool-looking kung fu besides the horse stance.

The kung fu of the Jingci Temple is not weak at all. They are very good at internal strength and sticks, fists and kicks. After all, it is a famous and upright sect, so the kung fu is quite good.

It’s just that the kids don’t quite understand.

Yang Yiyi was about to explain the importance of basic skills when she heard a child climbing the wall whisper:

"It's bad! Senior brother is coming, run!"

The group of little bald heads immediately scattered. Not long after, a young monk walked into the small courtyard with an expression of "wait for me to deal with you" on his face. He smiled when he looked at Yang Yiyi.

"Two donors, Uncle Xuanbei invites you to come over."

"But the host master has come out of retreat?"

"Exactly."

Yang Yiyi was waiting for the abbot of Jingci Temple, Master Xuanbei, to come out of retreat. After delivering the letter, she could set off for Lingyun Temple. So she packed up her things and hurried to catch up with the monk.

After walking through the hall for a while, I saw many monks gathering in one direction.

At first, Yang Yiyi thought that this host was quite famous, as so many people were welcoming him when he came out of seclusion. But as they walked, she felt something was not right.

This group of monks gathered together, it didn't look like they were welcoming the abbot to come out of seclusion, instead they seemed to be in a panic.

The monk who led Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi was also a little confused, but when he saw the other monks panicking, he also had a bad premonition and unconsciously quickened his pace.

We followed the gathered monks to the back mountain of Jingci Temple, where there were some natural grottoes that had been simply renovated for use by the monks in the temple for retreat.

As they got closer, Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi faintly heard a cry.

It's not an illusion, it's really not good.

Quickening their pace, the two men passed through the crowd and saw a group of eminent monks from Jingci Temple gathered together, clasping their hands together and chanting "Amitabha" from time to time.

Seeing Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi coming, Master Xuan Bei took two steps back to greet them.

"Master Xuanbei, this is..."

"I originally wanted to ask the two ladies to welcome my brother out of seclusion, but I didn't expect that, alas..."

Master Xuanbei shook his head and said:
"My senior brother has passed away in Guanzhong."

"what?"

What kind of Zen are you practicing?
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?
Come to think of it, the abbot of Jingci Temple died at this time rather than earlier. Isn't there something strange about that?

"We saw that Senior Brother Shichen had not come out, so we opened the door to check and found that Senior Brother had passed away a long time ago."

At this moment, Yang Yiyi, who was in shock, immediately felt the jade sceptre in her arms tremble. She immediately understood what Li Chengxi meant and asked in a low voice:

"Why so sudden?"

Yang Yiyi's words were rather vague, meaning whether there might be any other factors.

Master Xuanbei understood and responded:

"Birth, aging, illness and death are inevitable. Brother, you have no external injuries and no signs of poisoning."

In other words, it was a natural death, not homicide.

It was normal for Li Chengxi to suspect that someone was playing tricks. After all, Anxiangtang had tried to sneak into Taohuawu before, but was blocked by Meihuawei.

But on second thought, Jingci Temple is not comparable to Taohuawu, and the abbot is not as skilled as Xing Mucheng. If Anxiangtang has the ability to assassinate the abbot, Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi will be killed halfway before they can even reach Jingci Temple.

However, Li Chengxi was still a little worried and wanted to take a look at the host's body. He might find a clue by right-clicking on the character panel.

But the bodies should not have been taken out yet, as a bunch of people were still blocking the entrance of the cave, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

At this moment, the monk who was supposed to be welcoming guests at the door suddenly ran in.

He didn't know that the host had died, and was a little surprised why so many people gathered in the back mountain.

But it must be something urgent, so he quickly ran to Master Xuan Bei and whispered something.

Yang Yiyi clearly saw a hint of surprise flash across Master Xuan Bei's calm face.

“Hurry and ask the pilgrims to go back and make preparations for the reception.”

What does it mean? The host is gone, what is there to welcome?
What an awesome guest this is.

Then Yang Yiyi heard Master Xuanbei say to others:

"Princess Mingzhu will soon arrive at the temple gate. Please follow me to greet her."

Oh my god, he is indeed a distinguished guest.
