Chapter 1182 Draw a Clear Line
Just as the disciple reported, Yuan Fang nodded and bowed after entering.
Of course, due to Gong Linche's status, there are countless people in the world who nod and bow to him. Even the Emperor of Yan has to be polite when meeting him, so he has long been used to it. However, this Yuanfang is a little different.
Gong Linche had a certain impression of Yuanfang. From a distance, he looked like an eminent monk, but when he was close, he immediately turned into a coward, which was interesting.
"You're welcome, tell me, what do you want to see me for?" Gong Lince said calmly.
"Master, it's like this. I heard that the people from the Thatched Cottage are leaving Zijin Cave. The poor monks and other Nanshan Temple members have other ideas. They want to stay in Zijin Cave and continue to serve Zijin Cave." Yuan Fang cautiously hunched over his waist. , observe the other party's reaction.
"Continue to serve?" Gong Lince said coldly: "You seem to have served for my Zijin Cave, right? Why am I not impressed?"
Plop! Yuanfang suddenly dwarfed and knelt directly in front of Gong Lince.
This came without any warning. Gong Lince was almost startled by him and was stunned for a moment, "Why do you do this great gift?"
Yuanfang's eyes were red, and he looked aggrieved and about to cry, "Master, the poor monk was ignorant earlier. We are a group of monks, and we are really ignorant of the world. We have been bewitched by a group of people in the thatched cottage. Now Niu has The Tao died, the trees fell and the hozens scattered. The poor monk finally saw their ugly faces clearly. He was filled with regret and was willing to throw himself into the purple cave. He begged the master to give the poor monk a chance to forgive his sins." As he spoke, his nose and tears came out. He lifted his sleeves and kept wiping them, feeling full of bitterness.
Gong Lince couldn't help but stared at him for a while, then he looked back and asked: "Ugly face? What's the trick to have an ugly face? Let me tell you."
Yuanfang nodded repeatedly and said sadly: "Don't talk about others, just talk about the culprit Niu Youdao. He is nothing. He is worse than a beast! We were originally cultivating in the mountains, but he was abducted by him. We are a group of vegetarians. The monk who recited the Buddha's name forced us to slaughter, kill, and cook meat every day, causing us to repent in front of the Buddha day and night. He also ordered us to do various chores to serve him in food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If we were not satisfied with the slightest dissatisfaction, we would be beaten and scolded. His evil deeds are too numerous to describe!"
"There is also Yuan Gang, the lackey around Niu Youdao, who is even more outrageous. He has repeatedly punched and kicked the poor monk. This is by no means a lie, but has been witnessed by many people. The poor monk has lived a life worse than death these years. …”
It was truly an accusation filled with blood and tears, and the corners of the Zijin Cave disciple's lips twitched.
Gong Linche had no expression on his face and said condescendingly: "So, those people are really hateful, so why didn't you say it earlier? Isn't it too late now?"
Yuan Fang choked up and said: "The master has a clear warning. In the past, the cattle thieves were still there and they were powerful. The poor monks were afraid of their lustful power. In order to save the lives of the monks in the temple, they had to survive. Now that we have this good opportunity, I sincerely ask the master to take him in!"
Gong Lince put his hands behind his hands and said calmly: "Yuanfang, do you know who you just scolded? Niu Youdao, Elder Niu, he is the elder of my Zijin Cave. Is it appropriate for you to insult me like this in front of me?" "
No matter how much Yuanfang knew, he had stayed here for a long time. Of course he knew the relationship between Niu Youdao and Zijindong. Daxiu wiped his tears and said righteously: "In front of the master, a poor monk dare not speak nonsense." , everything he said was from the bottom of his heart, and everything he said was true. To be honest with the leader, if the cow thief hadn't been so powerful before, and if he hadn't been concerned about the lives of the monks, the poor monk would have been willing to risk his life, poison the cow thief's food, and kill him. Poison him to death! Now that he is being punished with punishment, it is truly a good death!"
Gong Lince raised his eyebrows and realized that this man really dared to say anything in order to defect to Zijin Cave. He really wanted to completely draw a clear line with Niu Youdao!
He was puzzled. Niu Youdao was considered a famous figure. The immeasurable fruit that so many people coveted but could not obtain could be obtained from the Holy Land. Yet he unexpectedly accepted such a rip-off. This thief Bald was considered to be by Niu Youdao's side. After serving him for many years, Niu Youdao didn't notice it at all, so he still dared to serve him by his side?
Seeing that Gong Lince remained silent, Yuanfang didn't know what he was thinking, and added: "The poor monk and others have mastered the brewing method of the Thatched Cottage. They are willing to work hard for the master, and I sincerely ask the master to take them in!"
Gong Linche's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Niu Youdao... Well, do the people in the Thatched Cottage agree to your leaving?"
Yuanfang said sonorously: "There is no need for the consent of the people in the thatched cottage, and it is not their turn to have the final say in Zijin Cave. The poor monk can make the decision himself."
Originally, it was Guan Fangyi who asked him to seek refuge with her out of kindness, but in order to draw a clear line and distance herself from the Maolu Courtyard, he insisted that it was his own idea.
Gong Lince nodded slightly and said humbly, "Okay, I know your thoughts. You can go back first."
"Master..." Yuanfang still wanted a definite answer.
Gong Linche: "You go back first and someone will make arrangements. I have other important matters and I don't have time to accompany you."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yuan Fangquan beamed when he agreed, kowtowed before getting up, nodded and bowed and retreated.
When the figure disappeared, Gong Lince muttered, "What the hell!"
He turned around and said to the disciple next to him: "Did you hear clearly what he just said?"
The disciple replied: "I heard it all."
Gong Lince: "Go to the Thatched Cottage and find the matchmaker. Tell the matchmaker what he just said and let them handle it themselves."
"This..." The disciple hesitated and reminded: "Master, the method of brewing wine is a way to make money. Since this thief is willing to take the initiative, why don't we follow suit?"
Gong Linche asked back: "What kind of money? What kind of trouble is the Qin State doing now, you can't see it? I know this matter in my heart, and I have made my own decision!"
"Yes!" The disciple accepted the order and left quickly.
There was no one around, and Gong Lince was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his hands. It wasn't that he didn't want to keep this way of making money, but that the current situation had changed and it wasn't appropriate to stay.
The reason lies in Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao even wants to take back a few birds. I am afraid that this road of wealth will not be given away easily. In short, Niu Youdao will definitely not let it go easily. There is no need to bother at this time...
In Guan Fangyi's house, Niu Youdao was giving Yuan Gang some instructions.
Later, Guan Fangyi came back after going out for a while. Niu Youdao asked, "What does Gong Lince's apprentice want from you?"
Guan Fangyi seemed to have an itchy tooth, "Yuanfang is such a bad guy. I kindly let him stay in Zijin Cave before. In order to surrender, this thief monk actually came to Gong Linche to confuse right and wrong, crying bitterly. Nonsense..."
She recounted everything Gong Linche's disciples had said. What they reminded her was to scold Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang looked at Niu Youdao with cold eyes.
Niu Youdao raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "This old bear really can't change his habit of eating shit!"
Guan Fangyi was a little surprised, "Why did Gong Lince specifically ask his apprentice to come over and tell me this?"
Niu Youdao smiled. She didn't know it, but he knew it. He could understand the meaning of White House Lince as soon as he heard it.
His current situation with Gong Lince did not allow for negligence. It was too dangerous to have someone like Yuanfang around him. Once he came into close contact, it would be easy to expose the secret that he was still alive. Gong Lince was reminding him to be careful. Let him deal with this hidden danger.
This was not told to Guan Fangyi, but to him.
Yuan Gang spoke up, "I'll handle it."
Niu Youdao nodded slightly, but reminded him, "The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Only by allowing diversity to exist can there be room for loose adjustments. Who hasn't been scolded by others? Old Xiong has that virtue. Don't be too serious." , enough is enough!”
Yuan Gang didn't say much, turned around and left.
The corners of Guan Fangyi's mouth moved and she smiled bitterly, thinking that Yuanfang was going to be unlucky...
After a while, the sanctimonious Yuan Fang was called to Yuan Gang's yard. When he saw Yuan Gang standing upright in the courtyard with the Sanhou knife in one hand, and saw the blade shining in the sun, he immediately changed from sanctimonious to He nodded and bowed, trotted up to him, and said hoarsely: "Master Yuan, are you looking for me?"
Yuan Gang said expressionlessly: "I'm leaving soon. Have you packed up over there?"
"Uh...well..." Yuanfang looked embarrassed and said cautiously: "Master Yuan, the matchmaker said that we should stay in the Zijin Cave."
Yuan Gang: "What if I ask you to come with us?"
Yuanfang suddenly looked confused: "Master Yuan, this is not good. The matchmaker said that if I follow you, I will become a burden to you. Actually, the matchmaker is right. We are indeed a burden. After so many years together, we I really don’t want to inconvenience you.”
Yuan Gang: "It doesn't matter. Although Master Dao is gone, I can't leave you alone."
Yuanfang sighed: "I appreciate Mr. Yuan's kindness. I really don't need it. Alas, although Mr. Tao is gone, don't worry. I, the monks of Nanshan Temple, pray for Mr. Tao every day and wish him early bliss. !”
Yuan Gang turned the blade on the ground in his hand and said coldly: "Let's go or not!"
The sword flashed, and Yuanfang was frightened. He took a timid step back and said loudly: "Let's go! If Master Yuan says let's go, there's no need to say anything. We will follow you to the death without any hesitation!"
But I felt bitter in my heart, as I had agreed with Gong Lince, if I didn't stay, wouldn't it be like playing tricks on others, and I couldn't bear the wrath of the dignified head of Zijin Cave! However, facing this violent temper, he couldn't bear it at the moment. He immediately understood the situation and was ready to go back and talk to the matchmaker, or notify Gong Linche in time to come forward.
Yuan Gang swung the knife in his hand, "I heard that you are becoming invulnerable with your cultivation, so I want to give it a try today with the knife in my hand!"
Why did it suddenly appear again? Yuan Fang was shocked, stepped back and waved his hands: "Master Yuan, why is this?"
Yuan Gang: "Aren't you afraid that you will become a burden to us? I will know if you are a burden or not!"
Yuanfang's eyes widened, "Master Yuan, I told you to leave! Master Yuan, don't come over. I have seen the power of your sword. You must not use it, it will kill someone!"
"Okay!" Yuan Gang stabbed the knife in his hand, and it struck the ground with a clang. The man flashed out like a gust of wind. Taking advantage of his running momentum, he spun around and shot out with one leg, as fast as a phantom.
Boom! Yuanfang screamed "Ah" and flew out like a meteor. The courtyard wall crashed over and was submerged in the flying dust.
