Cross-promoting martial arts: Obtain the dragon-elephant prajna skill at the beginning

Chapter 24 The old monk’s attitude! (please collect)
  Qin Zheng did not delay further.

Soon we arrived at the ruined temple in the east of the city, where the old monk from Chongming lived.

At this time, there happened to be the smell of fireworks, accompanied by the faint fragrance of food, coming from the ruined temple.

When Qin Zheng stepped into the temple, he saw a group of children sitting obediently drinking porridge.

Next to a group of children, a haggard-looking woman was sitting with some restraint. After seeing Qin Zheng, her eyes suddenly lit up.

It seemed that the other party listened to what he said.

Qin Zheng thought in his mind.

Then his eyes shifted to the old monk Chongming who was continuing to cook porridge by the fire.

There aren't a lot of vegetables and rice, and there's even a bit of meatiness. The whole pot of porridge is light and watery, but it's not thick either.

"Donor Qin, you are here"

Seeing Qin Zheng coming, the old monk Chongming raised his head, put his hands together and saluted.

Qin Zheng returned the gift, then came to the old monk Chongming and said, "Master, have you heard about the rumors in the city?"

The old monk Chongming nodded and continued: "When the poor monk went out today, he vaguely heard some rumors."

"I also happened to intend to leave the city to see if this matter is true or not."

"Don't worry, if this matter is true, the poor monk will definitely not let it go!"

The old monk's tone was full of determination, but his face was extremely calm, as if this was not a difficult problem for him.

When Qin Zheng saw this, his slightly raised heart slowly relaxed.

In this Black Wild Goose City, judging from what Qin Zheng has learned so far, this old monk's strength is the most unfathomable.

Because whether it is Ji Changyin, Xu Weisan, or Shi Dian, they are just Jinjin realm warriors who have passed the three major levels.

This gave Qin Zheng the feeling that the upper limit of Black Wild Goose City's force was the Tendon Refining Realm.

As for the old monk in front of him, although Qin Zheng had never seen him take action, he could feel from the demeanor in his conversation that he was definitely an extraordinary person.

Whether he was talking about Shi Dian back then or now when he was talking about the bandits outside the city, he always looked calm.

So if the old monk in front of him decides to intervene in this matter, the result should not be as serious as the rumors say.

The old monk's attitude made Qin Zheng feel a lot more at ease.

Then he looked at the porridge in the pot, thought for a moment, took out a few taels of silver he had on him and handed it to the old monk Chongming.

"These children are still young and need to eat some meat to supplement their nutrition. Master will accept the money first."

Although the old monk was powerful, he did not know how to make a living. He was dressed in rags and lived in a ruined temple.

Now I have to take care of the food of this group of children, which may be difficult.

Qin Zheng couldn't adopt homeless beggars like the old monk, but when he met someone like the old monk, he could do his best and provide some help.

The old monk was not polite. After taking the money from Qin Zheng, he put his hands together and bowed deeply.

"Amitabha, almsgiver Qin is a bodhisattva with a kind heart. Thank you so much, poor monk!"

Qin Zheng waved his hand indifferently, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

He now relied on the Jin Chan Gang and got a lot of money after killing Wei Feng and Shi Dian, so he was not short of money for the time being.

If he didn't only have a few taels of silver with him, he could have produced more.

After all, Guang Shi Dian alone contributed two thousand taels of silver notes to him.

However, thinking of the scene when he came here today, Qin Zheng still reminded: "Master, there are rumors circulating in the city now, and many people are hoarding rations."

"If we don't buy some food now, I'm afraid food prices will rise later, or it may be difficult to buy food even if we have money."

The old monk Chongming nodded, and then said: "Thank you for the reminder, the poor monk will go out to purchase some food later."

"Donor Qin is here by chance, why not come and have a bowl of light porridge?"

Qin Zheng nodded and was about to accept the offer happily.

The old monk's eyes shifted and looked in the direction outside the gate of the ruined temple.

Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, then his ears moved, as if he sensed something, and he looked towards the door.

After the Great Sun Golden Cicada has been successfully performed, the five senses will be improved, and the hearing will naturally increase greatly.

This scene made the old monk Chongming look slightly sideways, as if he was surprised.

Not long after, Xu Weisan, dressed in black robe and carrying a long knife at his waist, appeared in their sight.

"That arrives so fast?"

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows and became a little serious.

After Xu Weisan saw Qin Zheng, he also raised his brows slightly, seeming a little surprised.

But then his eyes passed over Qin Zheng and looked at the old monk beside him.

"May I ask if Master Chongming is in person?" He stepped forward, clasped his fists in his hands, and saluted the old monk.

"I don't dare to take it seriously. The poor monk is indeed called Chongming."

The old monk returned the salute, then shook his head and said calmly.

Xu Weisan didn't care about this, and glanced at Qin Zheng and the group of children behind them.

He opened his mouth and said: "Xu Weisan is in the lower Yamen. I would like to take a moment to talk to the master, and I hope that the master will give me some sympathy."

There was no mention of Qin Zheng in his words.

The old monk nodded when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at Qin Zheng, then stepped out and left the ruined temple with Xu Weisan.

Although Qin Zheng was ignored, he didn't feel anything wrong. This was exactly what he wanted.

Although Xu Weisan took the credit, he did not forget to investigate the original truth of the matter.

Since he came directly to the temple and found the old monk Chongming.

It should have been investigated that the old monk from Chongming appeared there that day, and it is suspected that the old monk was responsible.

I didn't think of myself, which was really good.

Qin Zheng nodded, feeling very satisfied with this.

In this case, the suspicion on himself will be completely cleared.

As long as the old monk Chongming doesn't betray himself and tells the truth about how he beat Shi Dian to death, this matter will be over.

"Is this, Master, the one just now, Mr. Xu from the Yamen?"

At this time, the woman who was sitting cautiously behind him came forward and looked at Qin Zheng with some anxiety and asked.

Qin Zheng nodded when he heard this and responded: "It's Mr. Xu."

He turned his head and looked at the woman.

Before, outside the execution ground, I only saw that the other party was somewhat beautiful.

When I paid closer attention at this moment, I realized that this woman's figure was a bit foul.

I sighed slightly in my heart.

As the saying goes, beauty brings disaster.

Although this woman's appearance can only be said to be fair, her figure is really outstanding.

It's okay to have a well-off family, but if you come from a poor family and are attracted by a playboy, it will inevitably be a tragedy.

"The three people this morning must be your brothers."

Qin Zheng asked.

As soon as these words came out, the woman suddenly started crying again, and at the same time she told Qin Zheng intermittently.

And things went as Qin Zheng guessed.

The woman's name is Qi Yan, and the three people who were beheaded today were her three brothers.

Her family was poor, her parents died young, and she was raised by her three brothers.

A few days ago, when she was out shopping for groceries, she accidentally fell in love with the youngest son of the second head of the Cao gang, so she was kidnapped and raped.

When the three brothers found out, they were furious. Taking advantage of the fact that the playboy was single, they tied him up and beat him severely.

However, his anger was released, but his life was also lost.

After Qin Zheng heard this, he sighed and could only say: "Follow Master Chongming for now, and see if there is a chance to leave Black Wild Goose City in the future."

Qi Yan sobbed and nodded, and the children gathered around to comfort her.

Although the child is young, he is a street beggar and becomes sensible early.

Qin Zheng watched this scene in silence.

After a while, the old monk returned alone, his face slightly heavy.

"Master, what happened?"

Qin Zheng asked curiously.

"Donor Qin, don't worry. Donor Xu didn't ask any more questions. He just asked the poor monk not to reveal that I killed Shi Dian and help him hide it."

"Shi Dian was killed by the donor, not me, so naturally he won't seek justice."

After these two sentences, Qin Zheng was completely relieved.

However, if it is just that simple, why is the old monk Chongming looking so heavy now?
  This was the first time Qin Zheng saw such an expression on the other party's face.

But the old monk didn't say anything more, and Qin Zheng didn't ask any more questions.

But his heart, which had been slightly relaxed, became excited again.
