Chapter 20 Chapter 20 The Honest Monk Is Not Honest

Knife.The knife shone blindingly in the sun. The knife was in Lu Xiaofeng's hand. Lu Xiaofeng played with the knife in his hand, and suddenly became interested in the angle of the sun shining on the knife. He held the knife flat, vertically, and tilted at fifty-six different angles, and only fourteen of the angles reflected light. He suddenly laughed, laughing at such research. If one day, he wants to use a knife to deal with the enemy, he can first use this method of sunlight reflection to stimulate the opponent's eyes. If the opponent is disturbed, he will surely win.So he was very grateful to Eagle Eye Seventh.

If it wasn't for Eagle Eye Seventh who happened to be carrying a knife, if it wasn't for Eagle Eye Seventh lying drunk on the table, or if he wasn't about to leave a note for Eagle Eye Seventh, he wouldn't have taken Hawk Eye Seventh. If you don't have a knife, you won't discover this truth. Touching the blade, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly smiled triumphantly. ——If I hadn't left a note, if I hadn't taken his knife, if I hadn't played with this knife in the sun, would I have discovered this truth? ——So I should thank myself, why thank Hawkeye Lao Qi? Lu Xiaofeng's smile became even more smug.

——Hawkeye Lao Qi must be on his way to Chang'an with his men now, right? There is no reason for Eagle Eye Lao Qi not to go to Chang'an. Under such circumstances, anyone will definitely go to Chang'an. If he believed the note, he would go. If he didn't believe it, he would go too. Because the person who left the note could take his life at any time, how could he stay? Moreover, Lu Xiaofeng didn't lie to him, because Lu Xiaofeng only wrote "Ximen Chuuxue Chang'an", leaving a word in the middle. The empty space may also be two words - not in. ——Ximen Chuuxue is "absent" in Chang'an.

The empty space may also be three words. Ximen Chuuxue is "maybe" in Chang'an. That's the benefit of leaving it blank. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly thought of why there were so many blank spaces in the paintings of the ancients. The original empty spaces have more explanations. Everyone can appreciate, criticize and guess the artistic conception in the paintings according to their own wishes. However, there is only one artistic conception of Lu Xiaofeng leaving the note blank: ——Ximen Chuuxue is not in Chang'an at all. ——Ximen Chuuxue should have arrived at the hiding place of Shaman and the others, right?

Lu Xiaofeng calculated the date, it should be the time when Ximen Chuuxue met Shaman. Ximen Chuuxue did not see Shaman. The first thing Ximen Chuuxue saw was a cliff, the angry waves crashing against the shore under the cliff, and the waves splashing on the cliff. Then he saw the wooden house that Lu Xiaofeng mentioned.He loves it here. Seeing the cliff and the waves, he thought of Su Dongpo's words. ——The turbulent waves hit the shore, rolling up thousands of piles of snow.Picturesque, a moment how many hero. This is really a place suitable for seclusion. Ximen Chuuxue regretted that he promised Lu Xiaofeng to take Shaman and the others.

——Why didn't you promise Lu Xiaofeng to come here to protect them? In this way, he can live here, enjoy the sea breeze and the splashing waves. Although he regretted it, he still walked towards the wooden house without any hesitation. No matter where Ximen Chuuxue goes, he will never forget his gentlemanly demeanor. Even on the cliff where there is only one wooden house, he still remembers the behavior of a gentleman. So even though the door of the cabin was ajar, he knocked on it a few times. He always waited for someone in the house to answer the door, or to invite him in, before he went in.But this time he was an exception.

There are exceptions to everything. For example, after dozens of knocks on the door, no one answered. Like suddenly smelling blood. Not only did Ximen Chuuxue knock on the door fifty or sixty times but there was no answer, and he also smelled blood. So he just made an exception. So he pushed all the doors open, and walked into the house as alertly as a cat. There is nothing in the hall except wooden tables, wooden chairs, teacups, and teapots. Ximen Chuuxue didn't rush into the room all at once.He rushed in after yelling "Is anyone there?" twice. There was no one in the first room except the wooden bed, quilt, and pillows.

The scenery in the second room was exactly the same as that in the first room. There is a person in the third room. dead.dead woman. Ximen Chuuxue rushed in and turned the woman over. He suddenly discovered two things. ——This woman is Xiaoyu, because the Shaman described by Lu Xiaofeng is not like this. ——The woman is not dead, because there is still a very weak moan in her throat. When Ximen Chuuxue rescued Xiaoyu back to his carriage, he discovered another thing. ——Xiaoyu held her right hand tightly. He pulled Xiaoyu's right hand away, and a piece of paper fell down. There were only seven words written on the note.

Seven characters written in blood - honest and dishonest. Lu Xiaofeng didn't know that something happened to the cabin on the cliff. Lu Xiaofeng didn't know that Shaman and the honest monk had disappeared. Lu Xiaofeng didn't know that Xiaoyu had been stabbed and seriously injured. Lu Xiaofeng didn't know that Ximen Chuixue didn't hurry to save Xiaoyu, instead of rushing, he found a small town to live and hired a doctor to treat Xiaoyu's injury.So when he arrived at the time when Ximen Chuuxue was supposed to come back no matter what, but he still couldn't see the carriage, a thick shadow appeared in his heart.

——Will there be an accident for Ximen Fuxue? ——Will an accident happen to Sharman? —they all had an accident? The sun climbed from the center of the sky to the west, then sank from the west, and Lu Xiaofeng was still shrouded in the shadow of doubt. A crescent moon had climbed to the center, and he was still sitting in front of the door, anxiously stretching his neck and looking forward. He felt irritable, worried, anxious and longing.Only one person understands his mood. Ximen Chuuxue understood Lu Xiaofeng's mood.Because he knew what Lu Xiaofeng expected. But he really had no way to rush back, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.

Xiaoyu lost a lot of blood and needed to recuperate. She must not be allowed to suffer from the bumps in the carriage. So even though Ximen Chuuxue understood Lu Xiaofeng's anxiety, he really couldn't do anything about it.Why is he in no hurry? The seven words "honest monk is not honest" that Xiaoyu held tightly in her hands clearly showed that Shaman's disappearance and Xiaoyu's injury must have a lot to do with the honest monk.But what about the truth?Where is the honest monk? Ximen Chuuxue just wanted to see Lu Xiaofeng as soon as possible, and handed over all the doubts in his heart to Lu Xiaofeng, letting him think and solve by himself. However, Xiaoyu's face was so pale that even lying quietly on the bed she would groan in pain, how could he bear to go on the road? And he didn't dare to leave Xiaoyu alone and let the doctor take care of her. So he has only one way to go - the way to wait. Lu Xiaofeng was already impatiently waiting.Three days ago he could hardly resist leaving to search. Because three days ago he thought that Ximen Chuuxue should come back three days ago at the latest. Being able to wait for six days, Lu Xiaofeng's temper is really good.He had to admire himself for this. So when he put his foot up to leave, he made a decision. He decided to admire himself for another day.Because it is not easy to admire yourself. This was the last day that Lu Xiaofeng admired her patience. This is the ninth day, not the seventh.Because Lu Xiaofeng waited for two more days. In two days he took a hundred and twenty-four steps.But one hundred and twenty-four times he failed. Because every time he took a step, a thought floated in his mind. ——What if Ximen Chuuxue came back with Shaman just after leaving? ——What if Sharman doesn't see him when he arrives? So he stayed again, waiting, waiting. dusk.Evenings are always very pleasant. Because dusk is the time when relatives are about to reunite. The people who plowed the fields carried hoes, faced the fiery red sunset, walked on the paths in the fields, and went home to reunite with their families. People from all walks of life, seeing the afterglow of the setting sun, know that it is time to rest, and the fatigue of the day can be rested. The dated lover also began to dress up, preparing for the meeting after dusk. There is only one kind of man who is unhappy at dusk—the one who waits. Lu Xiaofeng was the one waiting.But his face was smiling under the sunset, because he didn't have to wait any longer. Because he had heard the sound of the carriage galloping. Because he has seen Ximen Chuuxue's carriage.So this evening was a happy evening for Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng's happiness is also like the brilliant clouds in the sky, it stays for a while and then disappears. Because what he saw was Ximen Chuuxue with a frosty face and Xiaoyu with a pale face. Although Lu Xiaofeng was anxious, he did not urge Xiaoyu, but patiently and carefully listened to Xiaoyu's weak accent, telling stories about being honest and dishonest. ——One day, the honest monk suddenly said that he had something to leave for a few days, so he left Shaman and me in the hut, and he left. ——After seven or eight days, the honest monk came back. ——When he came back, I was not there, because I went to collect shells by myself. ——I went back happily with the shell in my hand, and shouted Sharman's name loudly. —Sharman didn't answer me. ——I saw the honest monk holding Sharman. ——Shaman didn't even struggle, she was tapped by the honest monk probably when she was not expecting it. ——I yelled and asked the honest monk what he wanted to do. ——He didn't say a word, and smiled lewdly at me. —I rushed to him. ——He suddenly dropped Sharman, picked up the sword hanging on the wall, and stabbed me. ——His martial arts are terrible. —He probably thought he had killed me. —I thought I was going to die too. ——So I wrote those seven words before I died. "And then?" Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help asking. "And then I got here." Xiaoyu said. The honest monk ranks third among the "Four Great Monks". Whether the honest monk is really honest or not, no one knows, but everyone knows that his high martial arts skills are indeed true, and whoever provokes him will suddenly die in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. The honest monk has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for half a year, and no one knows what he did. The first time Lu Xiaofeng saw the honest monk in the past six months was on the island, and the honest monk suddenly emerged from the box. Lu Xiaofeng began to suspect one thing: ——Did the honest monk really get caught in the box? Lu Xiaofeng suddenly remembered a conversation with the honest monk on the island: "Why didn't the monk leave?" "Why haven't you left yet?" "I can't go." "Even you can't go, how can the monk go?" "Why did the monk come?" "If monks don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell!" "Do you know that this is hell? What are you doing in hell? What kind of person is that Ninth Young Master? How did he put you in the box?" The honest monk did not answer. "Since you know, why don't you say it?" The honest monk murmured: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked, the Buddha said: 'Don't tell it, don't tell it'." Lu Xiaofeng knew that the honest monk must know the secrets of the island very well. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly thought of a question. ——Has the honest monk been persuaded and bought by the little old man to become an invisible man? Lu Xiaofeng remembered two things again: ——The honest monk hid under Sharman's bed and taught him and Sharman a way to escape. —The honest monk saved them again on the boat. A question floated in Lu Xiaofeng's mind: ——Why doesn’t the escape method I thought of work work, but what the honest monk thinks works? A shadow passed over Lu Xiaofeng's heart: ——Is this the collusion between the honest monk and Gong Jiu? Lu Xiaofeng immediately thought of the key to the problem: --why? If Gong Jiu wants to kill him, he believes that he can be killed on the island. With Gong Jiu's attitude in dealing with people, it is absolutely impossible to be negligent enough to let Lu Xiaofeng and Shaman escape on board. It is absolutely impossible for them to escape from the boat and return to land! That is absolutely impossible. Lu Xiaofeng had the same question in his mind again: ——Then why? Since Gong Jiu intended to let him go back to land, why did he design to frame him and put him on a dead end? ——The honest monk kidnapped Sharman this time, and why? Lu Xiaofeng looked up at the blue sky, knotted knots in his heart. White clouds come and go, and the blue is still blue. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt a surge in his heart.In shock, he sorted out his thoughts: ——The sky is the same, only the clouds that come and go change. ——This matter is the same, the honest monk and Gong Jiu, like white clouds, just want to change the appearance of the sky. ——As long as the honest monk and Gong Jiu are put aside, the appearance of the sky is still the same. ——The sky represents the little old man. Lu Xiaofeng remembered what the little old man said to him: ——As long as Lu Xiaofeng joins the ranks of the little old man, as long as Lu Xiaofeng thinks about it, he will never restrict his actions, no matter what he does, no matter where he goes. This is absolutely impossible.Because Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to join at all. The little old man should know this. Therefore, letting him go and letting him go with Sharman is nothing more than making the love between him and Sharman deeper and more memorable. Therefore, the design to frame him is nothing more than making it more difficult and troublesome for him to walk in the rivers and lakes. These all serve only one purpose. The purpose of the little old man. — join them. If Lu Xiaofeng joins them, he knows that the matter of robbery will be clarified immediately, and he must be the one to solve the case and win back his innocence. Because in this way, his reputation will be higher, and no one will suspect that he will do bad things, and he can be an invisible person that may be unprecedented. If Lu Xiaofeng joins them, he knows that Shaman will show up soon, and he won't suffer from lovesickness anymore. Lu Xiaofeng still had a question in his mind. ——Why did the little old man insist on him joining? ——They already have the ability to hijack gold jewels worth 35 million taels, why do they want him to join? There is only one possible answer to this question: ——The little old man is going to carry out a very big conspiracy, and this conspiracy is definitely a conspiracy that will cause a sensation in the world. —That's why the little old man needed him. ——That's why the little old man tried every means to set up traps to trouble him. Lu Xiaofeng felt sorry for the little old man.Because the little old man didn't understand him. Will he join them and do bad deeds in order to suffer unjust injustice and be cast aside by the people of the rivers and lakes? Will he give up his principles of life for the torment of love? If he could, he would not be Lu Xiaofeng. If it weren't for Lu Xiaofeng, the world would have been full of evil forces, and there might be only one of the two ways of black and white - the underworld. Although the evil forces will have the upper hand for a period of time, there will always be some heroes who are uncompromising, not tempted by profit, not seduced by love, and who ignore life and death, and come out to rectify the situation. Lu Xiaofeng is definitely one of them.So Lu Xiaofeng felt sad, a kind of sadness that was not understood. In Lu Xiaofeng's mind, the little old man is a strange person. Lu Xiaofeng is also a strange person. Strange people should understand strange people, but the little old man doesn't understand Lu Xiaofeng. So Lu Xiaofeng remembered one thing. —Perhaps the little old man is perfect. In Lu Xiaofeng's mind, there are three definitions of a perfect person. ——First, a perfect person is not a human being. ——Secondly, perfect people are very difficult to "play". ——Third, the perfect man is finished. Judging from the little old man's intelligence, the talents he recruited on the island, and the robbery he designed, these are not things that "humans" can do. When dealing with the little old man, he has only one goal, and he insists on you joining his ranks. Like Lu Xiaofeng, the little old man will do everything possible to force him to join, which is very difficult to "play". To deal with this kind of person, Lu Xiaofeng has only one way. Very simple but very effective method: ——Don't compromise, don't feel troubled by love, fight to the end with the little old man Gong Jiu and the others, if they can't find out the truth of the robbery and murder, they will never give up. When Lu Xiaofeng decides to do this, he can usually do it.So the little old man can be said to be almost finished. After making up his mind, Lu Xiaofeng knew he had to do two things. ——He had to go back to the wooden house on the cliff to see if the honest monk had left any hints for him. The honest monk will never just take Shaman away, he will definitely find a way to let Lu Xiaofeng know what he did and where to find him and Shaman. If he went back to the cabin and found nothing, he would do something else. ——Go to Chang'an. He lured the eagle-eyed seventh to Chang'an, and the eagle-eyed seventh would definitely look for Ximen Chuuxue's whereabouts in Chang'an. So as long as he goes to Chang'an, he will definitely be able to find Eagle Eye Seventh. If he finds Eagle Eye Seventh, he will be able to find Gong Jiu, and then he will be able to find Honest Monk and Shaman. Before doing these two things, he must do one thing. If he doesn't do this, he won't be able to do the next thing. This matter is - he must bid farewell to Ximen Chuuxue.
