Chapter 44 Zen Master Dry Leaf Chapter 44 Zen Master Dry Leaf
city.
A monk wearing cassocks walked to the gate of the palace.
The monk was about sixty or seventy years old. He had two long white eyebrows hanging down his face. He looked like a compassionate monk.
He took out a token and handed it to the imperial guards: "The poor monk Dajinlun Guo withered leaves has been invited to the palace to treat the Queen Mother. Please spread the word."
"Are you Zen Master Kuye?"
The Imperial Guard looked at the old monk in surprise.
Zen Master Ku Ye is a wandering monk from the Great Golden Wheel Kingdom and an innate master.
In today's world, all the nine great masters are from the Jin Dynasty. No matter the Great Golden Wheel Kingdom or the Five Poison Sect in Southern Xinjiang, there are no masters at the master level.
When it comes to martial arts cultivation, Zen Master Kuye was far from the top in the Jin Dynasty.
But he is one of the most famous doctors in the Three Kingdoms.
His medical skills are almost as good as those of Mukong Cheng, the King of Medicine more than two hundred years ago, in today's world.
Therefore, no matter in the Jinlun Kingdom or the Jin Dynasty, Zen Master Ku Ye is highly respected.
In recent years, I heard that Zen Master Ku Ye has been traveling in the Jin Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually came to the capital and was invited to treat the Queen Mother?
"Zen Master, wait a moment while I go to report to the Queen Mother."
"Thank you, sir."
…
Zhao Mu was practicing in the woods when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from outside the woods.
"It's strange. This forest is in a remote place. Why would anyone come here?"
Zhao Mu put away the demon blood jade, stood up and walked outside.
Just outside the woods, a group of thousands of cavalry were galloping towards them, and the leader was clearly Zhou Yue.
"Zhao Jinyan, why are you here?"
Zhou Yue saw Zhao Mu at a glance.
"I'm bored in the capital, so I came out to find a secluded place and have some peace and quiet for two days. What about you, why are you bringing troops here?"
Zhao Mu asked back.
"You go first and search the woods. Remember, don't let go of any clues."
"Yes, sir."
The cavalry entered the woods and began a careful search.
Zhou Yue dismounted, walked to Zhao Mu, and sat down on a big rock.
"Hey, I'm here to find a group of kids."
"Child? What child?" Zhao Mu was confused.
"Over the years, the outside world has always known that the Queen Mother is suffering from a serious illness, but they don't know what the specific illness is?"
"The Queen Mother was seriously ill again a few days ago, and she invited Zen Master Kuye from the Golden Wheel Kingdom to come into the palace for treatment. The old bald donkey had some skills, and he actually used the magical power of Great Demon Subjugation combined with medicine to temporarily stabilize the Queen Mother's condition."
"The Queen Mother had great trust in Old Bald Donkey. After knowing that he was just suppressing his illness, she asked Old Bald Donkey how to cure it."
"I didn't expect that old bald donkey to come up with an extremely vicious treatment method. He actually wanted to use the hearts of three hundred and sixty boys and girls to refine the Childlike Heart and Life-Extension Pill, saying it could completely cure the Queen Mother's condition."
"The most hateful thing is that the Queen Mother declared to the outside world that this method was too harmful to nature and would never be used, but secretly she sent people everywhere to find suitable boys and girls."
"None of the dignitaries in the court dared to interfere in this matter. After all, they did not dare to offend the Queen Mother, but I couldn't stand it, so I led people inside and outside the capital to look for places where they were hiding their children."
"But unfortunately, I have searched all over the capital and still can't find any clues. I don't know where the old bald donkey and the old witch hid the children?"
Zhao Mu felt angry after hearing this.
He has also lived for decades, and has long passed the age where he is young and energetic, and can take care of himself at a moment's notice.
But what Zhou Yue said made him unable to suppress the anger in his heart at this moment.
You actually want to use a child's heart to make medicine?
That was more than 300 living lives, and they were innocent and harmless children.
What kind of beast could come up with such a vicious treatment?
"Zhao Mu, do you think that old bald donkey with dead leaves can really refine the childlike innocence and longevity pill to cure the Queen Mother's illness?"
Zhou Yue asked emotionally.
"Maybe, who knows?"
Zhao Mu shook his head.
If it were a world where immortals and gods did not exist before he traveled through time, the story of childlike innocence and longevity pills would be absolutely nonsense.
But this world is completely different.
Martial arts existed here, and according to legend, immortals, gods, and demons appeared there.
Many human races have various peculiarities since birth.
For example, some people are born as martial arts wizards;
Some people have yin and yang eyes;
Another example is the legend that only one person in a million is born with spiritual roots.
Using a child's heart with a suitable physique to refine medicine, and combining it with some special elixirs, it is indeed possible to refine a pill that can suppress the evil spirit in the Queen Mother's body.
At least, Zhao Mu has the means to refine it.
But he would never do that.
All the joy and pain of adults, health and illness, poverty and wealth, are all their own business.
Why should a group of children who haven't grown up yet sacrifice their lives?
"Where is the old bald donkey with dead leaves now?"
Zhao Mu asked.
"It's in the capital, but I'm afraid no one except the Queen Mother knows where exactly it is."
Zhou Yue replied: "Those two old guys obviously knew that what they were about to do was too vicious, and they were afraid that the old bald donkey with dead leaves would be assassinated, so they hid them."
Haha, as long as they are in the capital, it doesn't matter where they hide.
Zhao Mu sneered in his heart and said: "There are many forces in the capital, and things can easily go wrong. I estimate that the place where they hide their children is definitely not near the capital."
"After you search this forest, go back to the capital. Maybe someone will tell you where the children are hiding."
"how do you know?"
"you guess?"
Zhao Mu smiled slightly and walked towards the capital.
Zhou Yue looked strange, wondering what he meant?
After returning to the capital.
Zhao Mu didn't waste any time and directly released the Sravaka Gu to search every corner of the capital.
The palace!
Zuo Xiangfu!
Forbidden Army Camp!
Every mansion, every wealthy compound, even ordinary houses, the sravaka Gu has not spared.
Everything was passed through carefully like passing through a sieve.
Finally, Sravaka Gu found an old monk with a bald head and white eyebrows in a small courtyard that looked very ordinary from the outside but was heavily guarded inside.
"Is this a dead leaf?"
Zhao Mu's eyes were cold and he rushed over in a flash.
On the soft bed, Dead Leaf sat cross-legged, meditating with his eyes closed.
Suddenly a voice came from outside the door: "Zen Master, we have found all the 360 boys and girls. After the Queen Mother's birthday party tomorrow, we can leave the capital to refine the elixir."
"Okay, the poor monk knows."
Zen Master Ku Ye replied.
The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away.
He sighed: "I wonder if the Buddha will forgive the poor monk for doing this. When the poor monk dies, will he go to Abi Hell?"
At this moment, another voice came from behind:
"I don't know whether Buddha will forgive you, but I am sure that those children who are about to be killed by you and their parents must not be able to eat your flesh or drink your blood now.
