Chapter 331 The Cannon Fodder Flower Demon of the Abstinent Buddha 3
*
In the lush mountain forest, a group of guards with swords walked in the bamboo forest.
Bai Yu, wearing a gray monk's short robe, walked at the front of the team, followed by four monks from the Bodhi Temple wearing robes.
Four guards carried a red-painted wooden sedan chair, the sides of which were covered with thin white gauze, swaying in the wind that occasionally blew through the forest.
Sitting cross-legged inside, Chu Wuxu was wearing a cassock embroidered with dark gold patterns, with his eyes closed, resting.
On both sides of the sedan chair were two teams of guards who came from the imperial city and were stationed in the town at the foot of Mount Putuo.
Those were people specially arranged by the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty. Every time Chu Wuxu went out, they followed him as guards.
Chu Wuxu had just returned from a small ceremony in town, and now the group was heading back to the Bodhi Temple.
Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the depths of the bamboo forest not far away.
"Don't run!"
"Help! Help!"
A sound of chasing was heard, and the soft voice of a woman asking for help was faintly heard.
Bai Yu frowned slightly and then raised his hand to signal, and the team stopped.
I saw a young girl in simple clothes running hurriedly from the bamboo forest not far away.
She was holding a bundle in her arms, and her plain little face was very pretty. She seemed to be a peasant girl from an ordinary family, but for some reason she was being chased by several servants from a farther distance.
"Master, help me!"
Yun Wu hurriedly ran to the group and bowed gracefully. She pinched her thigh and her eyes suddenly turned red and tears fell out.
She was born beautiful, with charming eyes. But now she was dressed simply and her face was stained with mud and dirt, which diminished her sharp beauty.
But the tears in her eyes made her look very weak and pitiful.
Bai Yu was the one who hated to see women crying, and he immediately became at a loss as to what to do.
"What happened to this girl?"
As soon as he finished speaking, three or five men dressed as servants holding wooden sticks rushed out from the depths of the bamboo forest, each of them looking ferocious.
Yun Wu remembered that the story about the fox demon seducing others in the storybook began with her being so pitiful.
He immediately pointed at the three or five servants and said, crying:
"They tried to take me away in broad daylight. I had no choice but to flee to the mountains, but they wanted to take me back."
Now the monks and other guards who followed also understood.
It was probably that the masters of these servants' houses took a fancy to this beautiful peasant girl and wanted to abduct her to their house by force.
"You bunch of lousy monks, hand that woman over to us if you know what's best for you!"
The servant holding the stick shouted arrogantly, but the handsome man with a cinnabar mole on his forehead sitting cross-legged on the sedan chair behind him seemed to have heard nothing.
He clasped his palms together, closed his eyes and said nothing. Bai Yu then drew the sword from his waist and blocked Yun Wu.
The Buddhist teachings here do not emphasize never killing, and they do not avoid treating evil people in this way.
But Bai Yu is Chu Wuxu's personal nurse, so she has to ask her master's opinion before any action.
But before Bai Yu made a move, several servants who were picking up weapons were frightened when they saw the shiny swords in their hands.
They gritted their teeth and wanted to force their way forward to abduct Yun Wu, but the two servants standing in the front were suddenly hit on the knees by something, and their legs went weak and they fell to their knees.
The servant raised his head fiercely, and saw the handsome man in a cassock sitting high on the sedan chair with his eyes closed.
Just now he clearly saw that it was that man who closed his eyes and hit them accurately with the stone.
"Stinky monk!"
The servant wanted to go forward with a wooden stick, but the guards on both sides drew their swords and protected the sedan chair.
"You're lucky today, hum!"
The ferocious servant looked at Yun Wu greedily and said that because of the sword-wielding guards around Bai Yu and the group of monks, they only had a few people and could not act rashly.
Three or five servants who were only armed with sticks and other weapons had no choice but to run away.
"They just ran away this time, and they didn't mean to let her go."
Bai Yu put the sword back to his waist and said, Yun Wu nodded with red eyes.
Several monks put their palms together and murmured "Amitabha" to pray for this "poor" girl.
"Buddha, look..."
Bai Yu turned around and spoke hesitantly. Yun Wu still had tears on her face. She turned her head quietly to look at Chu Wuxu.
The man who had his eyes closed had opened them at some point, and Yun Wu was caught off guard and looked into his eyes.
"Buddha, this girl is too pitiful. If she goes down the mountain now, those people might be waiting for her."
Bai Yu stepped forward and raised his hand respectfully and said, Yun Wu stood pitifully by the side holding her small bag.
The little Ganoderma lucidum hiding in the bundle wanted to stick its head out to take a look at the legendary Buddha's son, but Yun Wu held it down and it couldn't move its head out, for she was afraid that it would be seen by others.
There was no emotion in Chu Wuxu's eyes, he just raised his hands and clasped his palms together.
"Amitabha……"
The four guards received the signal and put down the sedan chair. Chu Wuxu stood up and got down, his eyebrows and eyes were as handsome as a painting.
Yun Wu was holding the bag and looking at him for a moment, and then she heard the man raise his hand and say lightly:
"Please get on the sedan chair, and follow us back to the Bodhi Temple for shelter."
Very good!
Yun Wu concealed the joy in her eyes at the success of her initial plan and quickly wiped away the tears that had already disappeared.
He followed the monks' way of bowing with his palms together and said:
"Thank you very much... Buddhist son."
The four monks from the Bodhi Temple had no objection. After all, for monks, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
Yun Wu carefully sat on the sedan chair that Chu Wuxu originally sat in.
Because Xiao Lingzhi couldn't enter the Bodhi Temple, she quietly escaped from her bag in advance. She sat in the sedan chair and looked at Chu Wuxu who was walking in front of her.
Yun Wu felt that this Buddhist disciple seemed quite kind and even gave up his sedan chair for her to sit on.
She hoped that he would be seduced by her and they could practice dual cultivation together, so that she could live a normal life.
Wuxu Buddhist saved a poor peasant girl who was nearly kidnapped by a local tyrant.
There were only men in the Bodhi Temple, and only the rooms for the novice monks had empty beds. But Yun Wu was a woman and absolutely could not live in the same room with them.
Because there were only a few vacant rooms in the Buddhist courtyard in the Bodhi Temple, and these people were rescued by Buddhist disciples.
So the monk Huiyuan, who was in charge of arranging matters, temporarily arranged Yun Wu to stay in the courtyard where Chu Wuxu was.
Ye Yu did not go out with Chu Wuxu today. He was sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard when he saw Chu Wuxu walking towards him on the stone road.
He quickly put down his broom, raised his hand and bowed respectfully:
"Buddha."
"Clean up the room next to my Zen room."
Chu Wuxu's voice came, and Ye Yu raised his head in surprise.
Only then did he see that besides Bai Yu, there was also a strange woman following Chu Wuxu.
The woman's fair face was a little dirty, but she was still very beautiful. She was wearing a plain dress and had a slim figure.
Ye Yu opened his mouth in a daze, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on his head.
Why did the young prince bring a woman back to the temple?
He understood. Oh no, oh no. Could it be that the little prince couldn't stand the loneliness in the Buddhist temple and found a lover...
