Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

Chapter 267 A Bodhisattva's Face, a Scorpion's Heart

That night.

A fire broke out on the mountain behind Shuiyue Temple.

The Buddhist temple there was burned to the ground.

Several young nuns and a monk were burned to death.

The officers and soldiers discovered a wall of gold and silver behind the Buddhist hall.

Many skeletons were also found in the backyard of the Buddhist temple.

After daybreak, everything returned to calm.

The pilgrims got up and went out.

I went to the front courtyard of Shuiyue Nunnery with a trembling heart.

The courtyard is now empty.

The Lingquan Well in the courtyard was also sealed off.

Master Shuiyue and the young nuns have all disappeared.

Only a few thin old nuns remained, sweeping dust in the courtyard.

"Where is Master Shuiyue?" a young woman asked the nun.

"They were arrested by the soldiers. The woman who treated you is not Master Shuiyue, but a fugitive from the capital. I am Jingyue, the abbess of this nunnery." The eldest nun put down her broom and said to the woman.

A fugitive! How is that possible?

"Impossible, we don't believe it, she was almost cured of my illness."

The women refused to believe it; the nun Shuiyue was clearly a kind and benevolent bodhisattva who had treated their illnesses, and many of them had shown obvious improvement.

How could it be fake?

"Who are you trying to fool? You say you're the abbot of this temple, but I've never seen you here before."

Abbot Jingyue explained helplessly, "A year ago, the brother and sister stayed overnight at the nunnery, but in the middle of the night they revealed their true colors, locked us up, took over the nunnery, changed its name, and locked us up in the back kitchen to do odd jobs. Of course you have never seen us."

It wasn't until the arrival of that female benefactor last night that the soldiers searched the temple and rescued them.

The nuns stretched out their hands, saying, "If you don't believe me, see for yourselves."

His hands bore the marks of having been bound by chains.

The women began to believe it. "Then... then how did she cure our illnesses? And is the spirit spring water real?"

The prescriptions written by Master Shuiyue were all taken down the mountain to get the medicine, and the pharmacy owner never said there was a problem.

And it was indeed effective for them after they took it.

"Let me tell you," Captain Sun said, appearing at the door with his soldiers.

After what happened last night, they no longer need to hide their identities.

"You...you're not the madman who led people into the nunnery yesterday?" The woman shrank back when she saw them.

Helpless, Captain Sun revealed his waist badge. "I say to you ignorant women, open your dog eyes and take a good look! How can you be so ungrateful and unable to distinguish right from wrong!"

"You want to know who that Master Shuiyue is? Then let me tell you. She was originally a palace physician who tried to poison a nobleman. She should have been executed, but she was rescued. She and her brother fled to Yuzhou, killing many people along the way. Do you still think she is a bodhisattva?"

The women looked ashen-faced, filled with lingering fear.

How could someone with such a kind face take someone's life?

Remembering that Abbess Yuebai had once stuck needles into their bodies, one wonders if they could have been accidentally killed.

It's terrifying to even think about.

Seeing that no one responded, Captain Sun continued, "Your younger brother, some of you may have seen him. He's a monk who lives in the Buddhist hall on the back mountain. He's got a lot of murder on his hands. Once he shaves his head and beard, he's a handsome monk. He claims to be some kind of reclusive master. Even the yamen officials can't recognize him face to face with his portrait..."

At this point, several young women turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

Most of them had been married for three to five years without having a son, or they had a daughter and then never had a son.

I heard that the Bodhisattva here is efficacious, and that drinking the sacred spring water here can help one conceive, so I decided to come and try my luck.

Who would have thought that the nuns in the nunnery were actually fugitives?

Now that I've lost both my wife and my army, I just want to find a tree and hang myself.

Some of the older women understood the implication in the words and were immediately shocked, their eyes widening as they covered their mouths with their hands.

No wonder some women who have seen a doctor here become pregnant within a month.

And what's with all this talk about its efficacy?

Co-authored…

I dare not think about it, nor dare I say it.

But some people are still unwilling to accept this.

They spent no less than a thousand taels of silver here, on precious medicinal herbs, food, lodging, and other expenses.

In the end, it was all for nothing.

"Were the illnesses that Master Shuiyue treated us, the prescriptions she gave us, and even that spiritual spring all fake?"

"Lord Liuyun, please tell me." Captain Sun turned around and looked at the man walking towards him.

This guy appeared out of nowhere last night, claiming to be Prince Jing's bodyguard.

He even showed his waist tag, leaving him no choice but to believe him.

What's infuriating is that they took all the people they arrested away for interrogation, claiming it involved palace secrets that couldn't be revealed.

Forget it, he's just a lowly captain; the more he knows, the faster he'll die.

Liu Yun strode in, and the guards behind him headed towards the back of the mountain.

It was quite a coincidence that the princess sent them to protect people, and they ended up meeting them on the way.

Even more coincidentally, he had just seen the nun they had captured.

A year ago, the crown prince suddenly fell ill.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the poison was a slow-acting poison administered by the female doctor.

After the incident, he refused to confess to anything and later faked his death to escape.

To this day, no one has been able to find out who is behind her.

I can't believe I've run into someone who should be dead right here. What incredible luck!

This time, he couldn't let that female doctor slip away right under his nose again.

He then said to the group of women, “It’s not all a lie. That woman was once a female physician, and her acupuncture skills are quite solid. The prescriptions she gave you are also correct; they are all written to the standards of nobles in the palace. However, the pharmacies and inns at the foot of the mountain are all owned by the brother and sister. As for the spiritual spring, it is no different from the water in the pool in front of the nunnery, but… someone died in that well…”

"vomit……"

Before he could finish speaking, everyone vomited.

He vomited out his heart, liver, and lungs.

That damn liar! He actually fed them water ingested by dead people and even charged them for it.

"You heartless swindler! I knew it! Why were the medicines and inns so expensive? Turns out they don't charge consultation fees; they make all the money from food, lodging, and medicine."

No wonder such a small town as Lingquan has all kinds of precious medicinal herbs.

After thinking about it, I felt unwell all over, and my stomach was still churning.

Suddenly someone asked, "Then the swindler didn't sell us fake medicine, did he?"

In an instant, everyone fell silent.

……

Jiang Miaomiao had already woken up at the inn and was having breakfast.

I suspect I had a dream.

In a dream.

The mother went to the nunnery to rescue people, but was ambushed, and a fight broke out between the two sides.

wake up.

Everything is as usual; we eat and drink as usual.

My whole family is here with me, not one is missing.

very nice.

The only difference was that they had a large escort.

It is said that they were men of King Jing, who came to protect them because they were afraid they would encounter danger on the road.

And then there was the innkeeper, who was incredibly attentive, constantly explaining that he too had been hired to be the innkeeper.

He genuinely didn't know who his employer was.

Jiang Miaomiao wasn't the only one who felt like she was dreaming.

And the Xu sisters, they haven't left the house since they were rescued.

It's terrifying now. They just went to visit a wise person, get medical treatment, and pray to Buddha.

How did a master become a fugitive?

My husband said that a lot of skeletons were dug up from the back mountain, and judging from their bone age, they were all young women.

Almost.

They will never come back.

Jiang Miaomiao was also startled when she heard that the Buddha had transformed into a demon.

The fugitive dared not go anywhere else, so he naturally went to the remote mountains and forests.

A shave and a trim, and you're transformed.

He became a hermit sage.

A bodhisattva's face, but a venomous heart.

They were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
