Chapter 23 Jade Bi

After taking a shower, Song Ruoxi put on a dress and picked a jade hairpin from the jewelry box to tie up his long hair. He didn't need to put on makeup. He opened the door and walked out. The sun was just right outside, so bright that it was so bright that it was hard to open his eyes.

Chen Mo had already replaced the white clothes wet by Song Ruoxi, wore a wide-sleeved long gown with black background embroidered branches and flowers, sat on the backrest chair under the green vine rack, shaking the folding fan leisurely. When she saw her coming out, she waved: "Come here."

When Song Ruoxi heard Chen Mo calling her in the tone of calling her puppy over, he wanted to ignore it, but this was his territory, so it would be better to be more sensible. He lowered his eyebrows and looked down, moved his lotus steps and walked over obediently.

"sit."

The three backrest chairs next to the small wooden table were arranged in a font shape. Chen Mo sat on the left, and Song Ruoxi chose the one on the right to sit down. There was an empty table between the two. The faces were opposite, and Song Ruoxi looked at the patterns on his clothes, not looking at the man opposite.

Chen Mo raised his jaw slightly and looked at the girl with a condescending and arrogant look in front of him. Her fair neck and delicate earlobes had a beauty that was not inferior to Yiwei, and the calmness that Yiwei had never possessed at this age. It was a waste to stay in the Buddhist temple to practice.

Bi Niang brought the food, including fish and meat.

"I remember my little master once said that fish is not meat, so I asked Bi Niang to prepare these." Chen Mo said with a narrowed eye.

It was almost noon, and Song Ruoxi had no use of morning vegetarian food. He was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. Even if he could hear the indifference in Chen Mo's words, he was too lazy to pay attention to it and brought the bowl and chopsticks to eat.

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, raised a smile on his lips, and also picked up the bowl to eat. After the two of them finished their meal silently, Bi Niang appeared again, tidying up the table, turned around and brought the tea set, brought a small red mud stove, added some charcoal to the stove, and placed the copper pot on it. This time Bi Niang did not retreat, but walked behind Chen Mo and stood.

The three of them didn't speak, and the sound of charcoal burning could be heard in the yard. Song Ruoxi got up too early in the morning, and felt a little sleepy after eating, so he squinted his eyes and took a nap.

Seeing Song Ruoxi's unsuspecting appearance, Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Young Master." A man in gray jumped in from the other side of the wall, "Here is God Ni."

"Open the door." Chen Mo closed the folding fan in his hand.

Bi Niang walked behind Song Ruoxi silently, and gently placed her right hand on her shoulder. Bi Niang's touch made Song Ruoxi suddenly wake up. She opened her eyes and saw a strange man in the yard. She blinked her eyes. He wouldn't be a hero who came to save beauty, right?

The man in gray opened the door and retreated to Chen Mo.

Song Ruoxi sneered lightly, it was not a hero, but a devil's minion.

The tea in the pot was boiling, pushing the lid to make a thud. At this moment, Huijin's figure appeared at the door.

"Master!" Song Ruoxi wanted to stand up, but Bi Niang tried hard, and half of her body was numb, and she could still move.

Huijin glanced at Bi Niang, and a light seemed to flash in her eyes.

"The God Ni is coming just right. The water is boiling. Please have a cup of fragrant tea." Chen Mo said politely.

Hui Jin chanted the Buddha's name, clasped his hands together, walked over and sat down, "Men Ni thanked him for the donor's good tea."

Chen Mo skillfully moves cloth utensils, warm pots, tea throws, brews, cups, tea-relief, and serves tea with elegant movements, "Shen Ni."

Hui Jin brought a cup of tea and tasted it, "Xiangbo green, aged snow. Good tea and good water."

"There are famous teas in famous mountains and temples, and the green tea in water and mountains are even better. After drinking the tea, it's time to talk about the serious business." Chen Mo put down the tea cup, squinted his eyes, and the light appeared in his eyes, "I want the Jiulong Bi."

Hui Jin chanted the Buddha's name, "There is no Nine Dragon Bi in Jinglian Temple."

"Hui Shi has seen the Nine Dragon Bi in the Sutra Pavilion in the temple, so the gods will not deny it anymore." Chen Mo glanced at Bi Niang.

Bi Niang knew it and squeezed her hands hard.

"Ah!" Song Ruoxi felt the pain in her shoulders and couldn't help but shout.

"Hui Shi is an abandoned disciple in this temple. What she said is not worthy of faith. I hope the donor will return to the wrong path and do not hurt innocent people." Hui Jin advised earnestly.

Hui Shi was Hui Jin's senior brother. She broke the several precepts more than 70 years ago and was expelled from the temple. Then she fell to Quyuan and met the head of the Chen clan and mentioned this Nine Dragon Bi. There are rumors in the world that those who get the Nine Dragon Bi will win the world. In order to get this Nine Dragon Bi, the head of the Chen clan sent people to investigate several times, but they all returned in vain. Forty-five years ago, she tried to make Jingxuan enter the temple to be a nun, hoping to get the Nine Dragon Bi. Now Jingxuan has been transformed, but the Nine Dragon Bi is still not whereabouts. The Chen family can't help but feel unwilling to wait like this and kidnap people and threaten them.

"Shen Ni is a person outside the world. The worldly affairs should not be involved. You should hand over the Nine Dragon Bi and don't let Lingtu suffer more." Chen Mo threatened coldly.

Bi Niang obeyed her orders and squeezed Song Ruoxi hard.

The heart-wrenching pain came again. Song Ruoxi was ready this time. He bit his lower lip tightly and endured the pain and groaned, so as not to affect Huijin.

But her face was as pale as paper and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. Huijin couldn't bear it. She closed her eyes and slowly moved the beads in her hand. "The Nine Dragon Bi did appear in the temple, but after Master Huici's uncle caught fire, she disappeared. It would be useless for the donor to threaten Pomnie with the life of his little disciple. Donor, if this jade really exists in the temple, Pomnie will present it to the emperor of Fujian. The so-called "every man is innocent, and he will be guilty of possessing a treasure."

Huici is Princess Dening of Xijin. In the civil strife in Xijin, she was alone when she fled to the vicinity of Jinglian Temple under the escort of her guards. She fell to the ground exhausted and was rescued by Huiren who had been begged for alms and returned to the temple. She converted to Buddhism and was ordained as a nun. Not long after, unfortunately, she missed the news. In order not to implicate the nuns of Jinglian Temple, Huici escaped from the mountains and caused fire, and the Nine Dragon Bi disappeared. This matter has been more than a hundred years. With the age of Huici, she could not have seen Nine Dragon Bi in the Sutra Pavilion. She told the Chen family that the Nine Dragon Bi was in Jinglian Temple to vent her personal anger.

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't believe what Huijin said.

"Chen Mo, who is my master? She said she was missing, but she was missing. Even if you killed me, my master would not be able to take out any Nine Dragon Bi. I don't know what you want Nine Dragon Bi to do, but since it really is missing, you make a fake one to pretend. If someone has the real one in his hand, he will naturally take it out and expose you. Then you can snatch the real one. If no one exposes it, you can make the fake one real one." Song Ruoxi hurriedly said for fear that Bi Niang would pinch her again.

Chen Mo's expression changed in his eyes, and his expression became a little strange. Song Ruoxi's statement coincided with his thoughts.

Hui Jin chanted the Buddha's name and advised: "The country of Fujian is prosperous, the monarch is wise, and the donor raises troops for no reason and makes people suffer. Not only will he not be able to get the world, but he will also bear the infamous for all ages. Although the poor nun is in the world, he has to take the people of the world as a thought. Please let go of the obsession in his heart and be kind."
