Chapter 16 Confrontation with the Monk

morning

Everyone woke up from their sleep, and Li You ordered Huangshan Pao to bring down the people on the ancient pagoda.

After getting dressed, he went to the wing where the girls were and called them up.

"Wow!!!"

Tan Shuangye wore a light green outfit and walked out of the room with a lazy look.

She yawned and rubbed her eyes drowsily.

"Why did you get up so early?"

Li You smiled and said, "It's enough to get some sleep. There are still things to do today."

"Are they two up?"

"Zisu is still lying in bed, and Si Niang is up, but her foot was twisted last night, and now it's a little red and swollen. I'm afraid she's not feeling well." Tan Shuangye looked into the room, and then turned to Li You.

said.

"Is your foot sprained?" Li You thought thoughtfully, then took out a small cloth bag from his arms to wrap it up.

"Have you done any massage, ice, or compresses?"

Tan Shuangye shook his head and said: "I just massaged her last night and gave her some medicine. Now where in the temple do we have the conditions to apply ice?"

Li You handed the cloth bag package in his hand to Tan Shuangye.

"You can make her recover faster by applying acupuncture on her Qiuxu point, Shangqiu point, Taixi point, and Zhaohai point."

"Okay, I'll try it." Tan Shuangye squeezed the bag, then nodded, turned around and walked in.

"Then you guys should take a rest first, and we'll deal with some things before we come back." After Li You finished speaking, he turned and left.

When he came back to the wing where he lived, Huang Sanpao was already waiting at the door with the young monk on his back.

"Your Highness! Is this guy not awake yet?" Huang Sanpao said.

"The few injections given to him last night were enough for him to sleep. It is only right that he falls asleep now." Li You looked at the main hall in the distance, and then said:

"Let's get ready to leave. We might have to fight soon."

Li Zhi also walked out of the room, holding the saber tightly in his hand and tying it to his waist.

"Let's go!"

The three of them walked towards the main hall.

When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the main hall, there were already many monks wandering around.

When they saw the monk Huang Sanpao was carrying, they all looked anxious and ran over in a hurry.

"Donor? Why are you carrying my senior brother on your back?" A young monk hurriedly came to the three of them and asked Huang Sanpao.

"Let your abbot come out!" Huang Sanpao said to the young monk.

"What does the donor mean by this?" the young monk narrowed his eyes and asked.

"This matter is not something you can handle. Hurry up and call your host." Huang Sanpao didn't bother to show a good face and said impatiently.

Li You saw something was wrong with the young monk's expression and said with a smile:

"Little master, you'd better go and call your abbot out!"

"There are some things that I really can only tell you, abbot."

"Yes!" Although the young monk was unhappy, he could only nod his head in agreement, turned around and walked into the main hall to ask for instructions from his host.

After a moment, a monk wearing cassocks and an old and resolute face walked out with steady steps.

"What do the three donors have to do with looking for the poor monk?" The host performed a Buddhist salute to the three of them.

"Abbot! My name is Li You and I was sent by His Majesty." Li You planned to tell him his purpose directly. Whether the old guy was willing or not was another matter.

"The poor monk meets His Highness the King of Yan!"

When the abbot heard Li You's name, he quickly bowed again.

So far, everything is going well.

Li You nodded slightly and said:

"Abbott! According to the report from the Imperial Procuratorate, there seems to be a treasure from the Sui Dynasty in this temple!"

"For the sake of the prosperity of the people of Tang Dynasty, please preside over to hand it over."

What Li You said was very high-sounding, but this matter was originally high-sounding.

After all, this is robbing someone else's things, so it's better to suppress them with the so-called righteousness.

First stand on the commanding heights of justice, isn’t that what you do?

The abbot was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed slightly, and soon he said calmly:

"I wonder what the treasure His Highness King Yan is talking about? The poor monk has been the abbot of this temple for many years and has never heard of this."

"Please also ask Your Majesty, King Yan, to go back and tell His Majesty that there really is no so-called treasure here."

"But there is a treasure map, isn't there?" Li You said with a smile:

"Abbott! You are the head of this temple and I naturally respect you, but we also have to understand some things. The Sui Dynasty is already in the past. This is the Tang Dynasty now, and you are living on the land of the Tang Dynasty."

"You should think about the Tang Dynasty, otherwise these thousands of people will poke your spine."

"What does His Majesty King Yan mean by this?" The abbot still looked indifferent, but he firmly said that there is nothing in this temple.

"We are monks, practicing hard in the temple, and have nothing to do with the imperial court, let alone the affairs of the previous dynasty."

"Please, Your Highness, please do not bring these mundane matters to this poor monk."

"Alas! Abbot, why bother?" Li You sighed softly.

"There are many monks and monks in this temple. Do you plan to let them fall into the endless wave with you?"

"The poor monks don't know what His Highness is saying. How could they fall into that endless wave while practicing in the temple? Today's Holy Lord knows right from wrong and is a Holy King. How could he do such a thing?"

The abbot said softly.

These words put Li You in a bit of a dilemma.

Li Zhi frowned slightly when he heard this.

None of them expected that the monk's spoken language was so sharp. He didn't use a single curse word, and he kept praising Li Shimin. However, this put them in a dilemma.

If they take action now, they will more or less be trapping Li Shimin into injustice.

After all, everyone praises His Majesty as a holy king, and if he takes the initiative to snatch it, wouldn't it be a slap in the emperor's face?

When Li You was thinking about what to do, suddenly a man in black brocade clothes rushed in quickly.

As soon as he came in, he yelled:

"You unscrupulous monks, where did you leave my friends?"

A monk quickly stepped forward and asked:

"What does the donor mean by this?"

"Where is my friend Zhang Ren?" the man shouted angrily:

"I had made an appointment with him a long time ago to meet at the tea stall outside in the morning, but I haven't seen anyone until now."

"He stayed here last night. It must be that you monks wanted to steal his money, so you did such a dirty thing."

The monk's expression changed and he hurriedly said:

"Also please be careful what you say! This is a place of Buddhism. You must not speak like this."

"I'll fuck you!" The man was extremely irritable, stretched out his hand and pushed the monk away, and then focused on the abbot not far away.

"Look at what you're wearing? Are you the host?"

"Hurry up and call my friends out, otherwise I will make you bald donkey monks have no peace!"

The abbot originally wanted to say something, but Li Zhi spoke first:
Chapter completed!
