Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

I have to say that the old maid has the advantages of being an old maid.

These maids and maids have lived with Yin Wenjiao in this dragon's pond and tiger's den for thirteen years, and have long been accustomed to a life of fear.

Now that they saw the handsome monk violently murdering people, although they were extremely shocked, when they came back to their senses, their eyes were horrified and they did not let out uncontrollable screams like ordinary women.

This was convenient for Nie Changchuan, as he didn't have to knock them unconscious before they screamed.

So, the maid standing by the window quickly came to the bed and joined the maid in front of the bed.

The two women each took out a sharp dagger, their bodies trembling, but they looked at Nie Changchuan firmly.

In comparison, the maid standing next to Nie Changchuan was much inferior.

After she came to her senses, she shook her delicate hands and dropped the copper basin to the ground.

Fortunately, Nie Changchuan had quick eyes and quick hands, raised his foot to catch it firmly, and then placed it on the ground.

Yin Wenjiao on the bed seemed to be able to see the outside world through the bed curtains.

She was silent for a moment, and then said in a slightly trembling voice: "Who are you?"

Nie Changchuan held a Zen staff and said softly: "Amitabha, a poor monk named Xuanzang, who studied under the master Faming of Jinshan Temple, came here to cure the noble man's physical and mental illness."

Yin Wenjiao asked: "Since you came here for treatment, why did you commit murder?"

Nie Changchuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Yin Wenjiao said: "I heard that monks don't tell lies..."

Nie Changchuan nodded and said, "That's the truth."

After speaking, he said in a serious tone: "The truth is, I don't like the way this old guy looks at you."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Yin Wenjiao behind the bed curtain, even the three maids in the room couldn't help but be shocked.

When they came back to their senses, the three maids had strange looks in their eyes, as if they had misunderstood something.

Nie Changchuan didn't take it seriously at all and said to himself: "The noble man's disease originates in the heart and manifests in the body. It cannot be cured by ordinary medicine and stone. If you want to cure the disease, you need to find the root cause and cure it with a strange prescription."

Upon hearing this, the three maids were startled.

Yin Wenjiao was silent for a long time, and then asked in a trembling voice: "What's the plan?"

Nie Changchuan smiled and said: "The poor monk has a blood letter and an undershirt, which can ensure that the noble man's illness will be cured without treatment!"

"Shua——"

The white satin bed curtain was immediately pulled open, revealing a beautiful woman's face that was so rosy that it looked sickly.

She opened her eyes wide, ignored the bloody corpse on the ground, looked at Nie Changchuan and asked excitedly: "Where is the blood book, where is the undershirt?"

Nie Changchuan took out the box he carried with him and opened it. As expected, there was a blood book and an undershirt inside.

The maid boldly took the box, walked quickly to the bed, and handed the box to the mistress.

Yin Wenjiao quickly took it and took out the blood book with trembling fingers. After verifying it, her eyes were red, leaving two lines of clear tears. She hugged the blood book and the sweatshirt one after another, and then cast her hopeful eyes on Nie Changchuan.

"Master...where is my son?"

"..."

The smile on Nie Changchuan's face froze, and then he sighed and said helplessly: "It's far away, but it's close before your eyes."

As the words fell, the touching scene of mother and son recognizing each other did not happen.

Yin Wenjiao and the three maids were all looking at him in astonishment, as if they were afraid to acknowledge him.

Nie Changchuan's head was covered with black lines, and the warmth and emotion that had just emerged in his heart disappeared instantly.

Yin Wenjiao hesitated and said: "Master, don't be ridiculous. My child is only thirteen years old now and is still a child. How could he..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yin Wenjiao's voice stopped abruptly.

The handsome monk took off his shoes and socks, revealing his left foot that was missing his little finger.

Yin Wenjiao opened her eyes wide and stared blankly at the place where his broken finger was. Suddenly she groped around her body in a hurry, and finally took out a sachet from her waist and took out a small broken finger.

Comparing the two, it turns out... how could they possibly match up!

Nie Changchuan sighed and said, "Mom, you have to abide by the Basic Law when collecting evidence. You can just leave a scar on my body. Why do you have to bite off my toe?"

"I am also a human being and will grow up. How can I possibly match this baby's toes..."

Hearing Nie Changchuan's words, Yin Wenjiao felt ashamed.

But at the same time, she finally recognized Nie Changchuan's identity in her heart.

"It's really you..."

Yin Wenjiao lay paralyzed on the bed, looking at the tall young monk with longing eyes, and finally saw a trace of her husband Chen Guangrui from his delicate facial features.

Nie Changchuan sighed, came to the bed, knelt down on his knees, and said softly: "The child is late."

Yin Wenjiao finally couldn't help it, stretched out her arms and hugged her son's head, tears streaming down her face, and cried loudly.

The three maids looked at each other in shock at the sudden turn of events. They could not lift or release the daggers in their hands.

After a long time, Yin Wen reluctantly let go of her beloved son, and then she realized with horror that Nie Changchuan's face was actually covered with white marks.

"How is this going?"

Yin Wenjiao looked panicked and subconsciously raised her hand to touch Nie Changchuan's cheek.

But at this moment, the invisible spikes appeared again, pricking more white marks on Nie Changchuan's face.

It was only then that Yin Wenjiao finally realized what was happening. She quickly retracted her palm and looked at Nie Changchuan with a distressed look on her face.

Nie Changchuan turned over and grabbed his mother's wrist. He ignored the stinging feeling and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. My child has achieved great success and is thick-skinned. The precious clothes on my mother's body can't hurt me."

Yin Wenjiao was startled when she heard the word "baoyi".

"...you know everything?"

"certainly."

Nie Changchuan nodded, and a hint of golden light suddenly appeared in his originally dark eyes.

As early as when he first entered the room, he discovered that he, a cheap girl, did not have any strange diseases.

The reason why she couldn't touch or touch her was just because she, like the Empress of the Golden Holy Palace in Journey to the West, got a thorny treasure from an expert.

With this treasure, the imposter Liu Hong cannot touch Yin Wenjiao.

It's just that Nie Changchuan has never been able to figure out who would do such a thing.

...Is it Buddhism?

impossible!

For the purpose of traveling to the west, Buddhists would have wanted to see Yin Wenjiao captured by bandits and finally commit suicide calmly after escaping from the trap. In this way, Chen Xuanzang would be free from worries and could better serve as a Buddhist scripture collector.

Is that the Taoist Gate, or the Heavenly Court?

That’s not right, it’s never been written like this in the original work…

Nie Changchuan was puzzled, and the current situation did not allow him to think too much about this matter.

Yin Wenjiao hurriedly took off the precious clothes, caressed Nie Changchuan's cheek with tears in her eyes, and asked him about his experience in the past thirteen years.

Nie Changchuan came to his senses and told him all about his past.

Yin Wenjiao was extremely excited when she heard that he had been rescued by the elder Faming of Jinshan Temple. When she heard that the Buddha appeared and the heavenly dragon conferred power, her expression became relieved and slightly complicated.

After Nie Changchuan finished speaking, Yin Wenjiao held his hand tightly and said excitedly: "It turns out it was the Buddha who blessed you. No wonder you can grow so tall and strong at only thirteen years old..."

"However, as a monk, you actually ignored the rules and regulations. You kid is so rebellious."

At this point, Yin Wenjiao paused and said with sobs: "It's my fault that I didn't teach you properly. I think you are not very adaptable to the life of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha. It's better for you to do this. After this incident, I personally I will take you to Jinshan Temple to thank the Buddha and Master Faming, and then you will return to secular life and find a lady for you..."

"etc!"

Seeing Yin Wenjiao chattering non-stop, Nie Changchuan quickly interrupted: "There is no rush in this matter. Mother should first think about how to get out of the current situation!"

"Simple!"

Yin Wenjiao said softly: "I will write you a letter. You can leave now and go to the capital city of Chang'an to find your grandfather Yin Kaishan. He will have his own way to help my mother escape."

Hearing Yin Wenjiao's words, Nie Changchuan was a little confused.

"Since my mother had already planned it, why didn't she do it before?"

Yin Wenjiao sighed, grabbed Nie Changchuan's hand and said softly: "Although that Liu thief is ruthless, he is also a smart man. He pretended to be your father and took office. In thirteen years, no one can find the flaw. This can It’s obvious that he has extraordinary abilities.”

"After establishing a foothold in Jiangzhou City, Thief Liu found all his old brothers and assigned them positions, promising wealth and status, and attracted a large number of people. There were even many informants of his in the government offices."

"I'm just a weak woman. The only people around me who can give orders are these old sisters who depend on me for life. How can I fight with him?"

"Fortunately, the emperor took pity on me and Buddha blessed me. A sweeping monk from Jiaoshan Temple saw my mother's plight and gave me a precious garment."

"With this treasured garment, neither Thief Liu nor his thieves can harm me. As long as I want, I can leave Jiangzhou City and go to the capital for help."

"But the Dao is one foot high and the devil is ten feet high. That Liu thief knew that I had a good heart, so he used the lives of the old sisters around me to trap me in the mansion of the prefect."

At this point, Yin Wenjiao changed her tone and said contemptuously: "Over the years, he has been looking for masters and monks, trying to use magic to break open my precious clothes, but he ignored an important premise -"

"How can someone who can be moved by money be a true outsider?"

"I see."

Nie Changchuan nodded and asked softly: "Is the sweeping monk of Jiaoshan Temple still there?"

Yin Wenjiao shook her head: "I heard that he passed away eight years ago at the end of his life."

Eight years ago…

Upon hearing this familiar time point, Nie Changchuan's eyes flashed, as if he had grasped some key information.

At this moment, Yin Wenjiao looked at the sky outside the window and said quickly: "It's getting late, you should leave. If you wait for Liu Thief to bring someone back, then..."

"It doesn't matter!"

Nie Changchuan stood up with a smile, walked two steps quickly, pulled out the Zen staff inserted into the ground, turned around and said with a smile: "Mother, have you forgotten that the child was taught by the Buddha and the dragon? Now that he has achieved great success, how can he be my opponent for a mere bandit?" !”

"Mother, stay here and watch how the child kills the thief and uses the flesh and blood of the thief to avenge his father's murder!"
