Chapter 70 Thief
what the hell! ?
Zhao Yushu was really shocked
I thought the old monk would ask me to let him go, or to ask someone to replace him with another unlucky guy.
If that's the case, then I guessed it right. If you are made into a golden body, you will experience something more terrible than death before you die. In other words, you can neither live nor die.
Zhao Yushu took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Master, how do you want to die?"
"I'm so fat now, it's not easy to strangle him. If I stab him to death, I'm afraid that bastard Jueshan will easily find out and make things difficult for you. Huiming, you have to go somewhere."
Phew, I've been struggling for two days and finally triggered this NPC's main quest. Zhao Yushu pricked up his ears and said, "Uncle Master, please tell me."
"In my residence, under the head of my bed, there is a loose brick..."
The old monk was very old, and it took him a long time to finish his words. Zhao Yushu's eyes got wider and wider as he listened. The old monk's meaning was very simple. He had hidden a kind of poison that was colorless, odorless, and could kill people invisibly. He never had the chance to use it, and he didn't expect to use it on himself before he died. But who did the old monk originally intend to give this thing to?
"In addition, as for the reward for Huikong, he will preside over the ritual, so it will be easier for him to get it than for you. All my things are placed in the Main Hall, under the altar in front of the Buddha statue. No one can think of it. Haha, not even Jueshan can think of it. Haha, Jueshan can’t think of it either."
The old monk seemed very proud, his fat flesh trembling as he laughed non-stop. Perhaps he had said too much today and had been stimulated too much, so as he laughed, the old monk lowered his head and began to snore.
Zhao Yushu looked at the old monk with complicated eyes, then turned and walked out of the bamboo house.
He knew that the old monk was not a good person, but he could not refuse to give the old man a quick death. However, if the victim of the old monk's previous evil deeds came to seek revenge, Lao Zhao would definitely watch coldly.
Everyone is responsible for their own actions, and no one has the right to make decisions for others.
Zhao Yushu ran down the mountain. The original seven days suddenly became three days. For him, there was only one day left. If he wanted to advance the plot, he had to do a lot of things before the end of the ceremony tomorrow.
In order to protect himself and find a way out, he needs allies.
It was not difficult to find Gao Xu. They ran to the monk's house near the courtyard where they cleaned daily and asked, and they found him easily. The two climbed back to the back mountain panting. Gao Xu did not complain. He knew that Lao Zhao must have made significant progress by finding him at this point.
Zhao Yushu briefly told Gao Xu what he and Bujie had learned. It only took Gao Xu a few breaths to calm down from surprise. Zhao Yushu felt that he was very lucky. His teammates were not stupid.
"Brother Zhao, what do you need me to do?"
"I want to know where this old monk lived before."
"Do you really want to poison him? What if that Jueshan finds out?"
Zhao Yushu shook his head: "I was at a loss at first, but the old monk's poison gave me some ideas. If it works, I may not be afraid of Uncle Jueshan."
Gao Xu said he couldn't understand: "You want to poison Jueshan, but you have no chance."
"Yes, under normal circumstances there is no chance, but there is a situation where it may not be impossible. Brother Gao, please help me find the old monk's residence. In any case, I have to get the medicine first."
Gao Xu nodded. No matter what the result was, it was better than just staring blankly.
After Gao Xu left, Zhao Yushu looked at the sunset, then turned back to look at the faintly visible temple at the foot of the mountain. Although he did not wear Buddhist beads, he knew that the air was filled with ghosts.
Since it is a ghost, how can it not eat people?
Zhao Yushu smiled coldly and started down the mountain.
As night fell, Gao Xu found Zhao Yushu in the monk's quarters and indicated that he had found out where the old monk lived.
Come to think of it, it's not a secret, plus the relaxed atmosphere in this temple, in Gao Xu's words, if there weren't three or five monks lazily guarding, he could have taken the medicine out directly.
"In that case, let's go together."
"Well, you go back to the monastery first. I'll find an excuse to invite you out, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the ghosts by staying out for too long."
Not long after Zhao Yushu returned, Gao Xu walked into the monk's house and invited Zhao Yushu to play cards in his room.
The ghost monk sleeping next to Zhao Yushu immediately became alert: "Brother Huiming, you haven't played cards with us these past two days. Why did you go play with the people from the outer courtyard?"
Without waiting for Zhao Yushu to answer, Gao Xu said with disdain: "You guys are playing too small, Huiming is tired of it."
Zhao Yushu gave the ghost monk a noncommittal expression: "When I win a lot of money, I will treat you to a couple of drinks."
The ghost monk sneered: "Be careful or you will lose miserably. Next time I make a golden statue, I will make you feed pigs."
So this is how Huiming got his job. Haha, Zhao Yushu ignored his roommates who were laughing and went out with Gao Xu.
Then the two of them went to Gao Xu's monastery, switched roles and played the same trick again, successfully deceiving the ghost monk's suspicion.
The two of them walked along the way. In every monastery, there were loud shouts of playing cards and the howling of drunkenness. There was not a single monk on duty.
"This direction..." Zhao Yushu followed Gao Xu and became more and more familiar with it.
"Yes, the old monk's residence is where Jueshan lives now."
Zhao Yushu stopped immediately
Gao Xu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Brother Zhao. I have confirmed that Jueshan is not in the house at night. There are only three or five monks guarding the yard."
"He was away at night? Do you know where he went?"
Gao Xu scratched his bald head: "I dare not follow him"
Zhao Yushu thought about it and it made sense. When he first met Jueshan, the strong ghostly aura in the room almost blocked his vision. He seriously suspected that Jueshan was the real BOSS.
The two quietly sneaked to the outside of Jueshan's courtyard. Less than twenty steps from the gate was Jueshan's meditation room, which was also the house of his great-grandmaster. As soon as his great-grandmaster was taken to the back mountain, Jueshan immediately moved in. This proved that this house was either a symbol of power and status, or Jueshan was also looking for something.
But Zhao Yushu had been in this Zen room twice. It was so shabby and simple that it looked like the residence of a real enlightened monk. It was definitely impossible to enjoy it.
And if it was just a symbol of status, there seemed to be no need to send a few monks to guard here. And with Jueshan's current status, he didn't need to use the poison that could be called euthanasia to kill anyone.
There's something in the room!
Zhao Yushu's heart moved, and he immediately thought of this possibility.
Damn it, the old monk is so cunning, he is dying and still wants to hide it from me, he didn't say there is something else under the blue bricks at the head of the bed besides poison, so the thing must be somewhere else
"Brother Gao, the plan has changed." The original plan was for Gao Xu to pretend to see a suspicious person and lure the monks guarding the courtyard out to watch the fun, and then Zhao Yushu took the opportunity to sneak in and quickly get the poison and run away. But now, it seems that there is not enough time to watch the fun.
"Brother Gao, it will take me a little longer."
Gao Xu's eyes widened: "How long will it take?"
"About half an hour."
