The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 498

"Qingyue Temple has always been remote and deep in the mountains. How can it attract so many believers?" Jing Li wondered.

No matter how you look at it, Qingyue Temple does not look like a place where incense is flourishing.

The sister-in-law didn't care about anything else and said tremblingly: "This matter has to start more than 30 years ago!"

Qingyue Nunnery has existed for more than 100 years, but it is located in a remote location and has little reputation. It relies on a few sisters-in-law to go out to beg alms or grow vegetables in the mountains behind to make a living.

More than 30 years ago, a monk came here to stay alone.

As a quiet place for nuns, it was not supposed to accommodate nuns. The owner of the nunnery saw that the monk had a clean life and was obviously very tired after traveling a long distance.

For a moment, he felt compassion and took the person in.

Unexpectedly, the young monk fell ill on the second day of his stay. The nunnery owner had no choice but to ask his eldest disciple Qingxuan to take care of him.

Qingxuan, who was young and widowed and was ostracized by his tribe, fell in love with the monk and stayed together every day. When the nunnery master discovered that Qingxuan was pregnant.

The nunnery owner was furious and decided to expel the monks and execute Qingxuan for violating the rules.

When the monk heard this, he suddenly got into trouble and killed the old nun. He also brought a dozen men from outside and raped all the nuns in the nunnery.

At this time, Qingxuan and others realized that the monk was not a monk at all, but a bandit on the mountain. He was wanted by the court and took a fancy to the hiding place in the back mountain, so he pretended to be a monk and went up the mountain.

The sisters-in-law did not dare to go down the mountain to report the news due to the monk's power, not to mention that if others found out, they would not escape death.

Then, the bandits and Qingxuan forced the aunt in the nunnery to open up the passage to the back mountain, set up mechanisms, and transform the back mountain.

At this time, the aunt in the nunnery was dead and injured, and only four people were left. Among them was Qingxuan, the eldest disciple. She was young at the time and had just escaped.

Qingxuan started to go down the mountain, saying that a lady who sent children to the nunnery had arrived. She had been enlightened by the Bodhisattva and went down the mountain to save those poor women.

A woman from a nearby village was infertile for a long time, so she went to Qingyue Temple to pray.

Qingxuan told the woman who wanted a child that she must stay in the nunnery for seven days. If someone was too stubborn, it would take 49 days.

These women settled in the back mountain and were given decoctions every day. Seeing the paradise, they suddenly felt like entering a fairyland. Their minds were in a trance and they didn't know how long it had been. After seven days, they returned home, and it didn't take long for them to be pregnant.

After the reputation spread, more and more people came to Qingyue Temple to beg for children and marriage.

Among them, there were also vigilant women who discovered something fishy. Wherever there was a mother-in-law, it was obvious that the bandits were destroying them one by one.

The women who found out did not dare to speak out. After returning home, some endured the humiliation and gave birth to a child, while others hung themselves with a rope.

This mountain is remote and inaccessible, and no one has noticed the fishy nature.

The bandits became more and more bold, and openly attracted the dandies in the city. They sold the good children who were kept in the nunnery to these dandies at high prices to make playthings.

These young men come here to steal incense and jade, enjoying this secret happiness that no one knows about, and they keep this secret for fear that their families will find out and cause trouble.

If Zhong Yuan's incident hadn't come out, Luo Tongpan would not have followed the clues to find this place.

Jing Li frowned and said, "There has never been a woman who was not pregnant?"

You must know that having children is not only a problem for one person. Some problems are caused by men, and some may also be problems caused by women.

The sister-in-law said in fear: "Master is proficient in the art of Qihuang. Every woman who comes to the nunnery will check her pulse first. If she is an ugly woman, she will not be received without a huge sum of money!"

"And the woman who is extremely weak and has difficulty getting pregnant will tell her that her sins in the past life have harmed her children, and she will never have children in this life!"

"It's so sinister!" Caiyue scolded from the side. These people actually sentenced people to death for no reason for their own selfish desires.I don't know if a woman who heard such words would have a chance to survive.

"Where are the bandits in the mountains?" Jingli thought of this important question.

The girl said uneasily: "Last year, the princess made great efforts to rectify the city of Chang'an. She sent all the petty thieves and other young people to the western suburbs to build the city wall!"

"Last year during the Lantern Festival, I originally planned to go down the mountain to kidnap a few girls. Unexpectedly, it was snowy and the road was slippery. As soon as I entered the city, I found out that someone had been arrested. I was so frightened that I hurried back to the mountain!"

"Later, the boss was worried that it was not safe to live in this nunnery, so he moved to Black Tiger Mountain. Unexpectedly, he met the empress who suppressed bandits, and even the nunnery was taken away!"

Jingli was stunned that such a thing happened.

It is estimated that those new recruits, for the sake of military merit, did not do any interrogation at all, and chopped up the bandits in the bandits' den, but no one was left alive. Otherwise, they would not have discovered that Qingyue'an was fishy until now.

"So, all the bandits in this nunnery died when Black Tiger Mountain suppressed the bandits?" Jing Li asked casually.

The sister-in-law hesitated a little and then said: "Yes, they are all dead!"

"Lie!" Jing Li said softly, touching the whip.

The soft voice fell on the girl's ears, but she was so frightened that her hair suddenly stood up. Could it be that the princess saw it?
A man kneeling behind the sister-in-law suddenly stood up and pounced on Wei Jun like a hawk.

Wei Jun was not far away from him. When he saw the man rushing toward him, he was frightened and at a loss.

Just as the man was about to reach Wei Jun, the whip that came from the air instantly wrapped around his hands.

Jing Li dragged the whip and then dragged the man out from the crowd, "Take it down!"

Jing Li gave an order, and Cai Yue and others immediately pounced on the other two men.

When the two men saw the man rushing towards Wei Lin, they were about to take action. Unexpectedly, Jing Li struck too quickly, causing them to lose the opportunity.

The man who tried to hold Wei Jun hostage was about 40 years old, with fair skin and a decent appearance. At this age, people would believe that he was in his early thirties. He must be in good health.

The remaining two men are much younger, one is around thirty, and the other is in his early twenties.

When Qingxuan saw the three people being carried out, panic suddenly appeared on his face that had been trying to remain calm.

Jing Li pointed at the three people and asked, "Didn't you say they were all dead? Who are these three people?"

The sister-in-law was trembling but she didn't dare to speak anymore, no matter how hard Jing Li tried to intimidate her, she didn't dare to speak.

Wei Jun said from the sidelines: "What's so hard to guess? Isn't it the old guy's lover and son!"

"Shut up!" Qingxuan was furious: "You bitch, how could you slander me like this?"

Wei Jun was not afraid of Qingxuan's anger and grinned at her: "Old witch, today is a good day for your family to reunite!"

Jing Li looked at Qingxuan with a half-smile, "Isn't he really your man and son?"

Qingxuan lay on the ground and sobbed: "Mother, he died in the bandit suppression in Black Tiger Mountain a long time ago. The baby I gave birth to died as soon as he was born!"

"Now I am just alone, where are the men and sons?"

"Really?" Jing Li said in a rather calm tone, as if chatting: "In that case, they are not related to you, so killing them will not harm you, right?"

"Anyway, I am in a bad mood today. I probably want to kill someone to vent my anger!"

"Why don't the nunnery master make a choice for me? Should I kill the old one first? Or should I kill the two younger ones?"
