When the master is here, I can't get any wine to drink when I go down the mountain. When the master is not here, I still can't get any wine to drink when I go down the mountain. Isn't it a waste of time to come down the mountain?
Jiang Ning glanced at Linghu Chong's expression of despair and ignored him.
The two traveled until night but were unable to find a nearby town. Jiang Ning planned to rest in the wild for one night and continue his journey tomorrow.
However, what surprised Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong was that someone was actually waiting for them in advance.
"Master Bujie? Why are you here?"
Linghu Chong looked at Bujie in astonishment.
Bujie looked at him, then at Jiang Ning.
"I know you are going to the capital, so I will wait for you here on the way."
Linghu Chong frowned: "Master, what's the matter?"
Bujie looked at him and said, "You asked my daughter to confess her mother's affairs to Hengshan Sect?"
"This... can't be called giving, it's just a suggestion."
Linghu Chong scratched his head and said.
Bujie nodded: "Thank you very much, my daughter's mother can now stay in Hengshan openly."
Linghu Chong waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, no need. Master, you are too kind. I just said it casually."
Bujie didn't look at him again, but looked at Jiang Ning.
"I have something to tell you."
Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard that.
Seeing this, Linghu Chong turned and left.
He had a premonition and he was not very interested in what Bujie would say next.
"Why is he leaving?"
Linghu Chong's action surprised Bujie.
Jiang Ning said: "There are some things that my senior brother doesn't know, and he is not very interested in it."
Bujie was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Ning glanced at him.
"What does the master want to say?"
Bujie looked at him and said, "Tell me the question you asked me a few days ago."
Jiang Ning was surprised.
In fact, he already knew that Bujie was hiding something, but the other party was unwilling to say it, and he had no intention of forcing him.
But why has the other party changed his mind now?
"Don't be surprised."
Bujie said calmly, "The great monk has few people he cares about in his life, except for two, Yilin and her mother."
Bujie looked at Linghu Chong in the distance again.
"Yilin's mother was originally a disciple of Hengshan, but I harmed her. She has never left Hengshan in all these years. She has feelings for Hengshan Sect."
"A few days ago, Yilin wanted to confess to Hengshan Sect that Hengshan Sect accepted her mother again. Her mother was very happy."
Jiang Ning understood and glanced at Linghu Chong in the distance.
Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.
Bujie would rather die than answer his questions, but Linghu Chong's action made Bujie change his mind.
Bujie withdrew his gaze and looked at Jiang Ning.
"Before I answer you, I have a few questions for you. If your questions do not satisfy me, I will not tell you what I know."
"Excuse me."
Bu Jie looked at Jiang Ning and said word by word: "Did you go to Southern Shaolin this time with some purpose?"
Jiang Ning didn't lie and nodded.
"good."
"What purpose?"
Jiang Ning smiled. "Shouldn't the master have guessed it?"
Bujie frowned, he didn't continue asking, but asked another question.
"Did you kill Zen Master Lingxuan?"
Jiang Ning smiled.
"No."
Bujie kept a close eye on Jiang Ning's expression and finally determined that Jiang Ning was not lying, but he still did not relax and asked the question he wanted to ask in the end.
"If you knew what you wanted, would you attack Southern Shaolin?"
After asking this question, Bujie stared at Jiang Ning, watching every change in expression on his face.
Jiang Ning was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"will not."
Bujie still didn't relax and continued: "Do you dare to swear that you will not attack innocent people in Southern Shaolin?"
Jiang Ning laughed when he heard this and glanced at him.
"Except for my master and his wife, no one in this world can make me swear an oath, not even you."
After hearing Jiang Ning's words, Bujie did not get angry, but felt relieved instead.
"Why do you have to know this?"
Jiang Ning smiled slightly.
"I don't really care, but my master wants to know the truth."
Chapter 543: I Want to Do This (Crazy, Emperor Wu 6/8)
Jiang Ning really didn't care about the truth of the sword energy dispute, because no matter whether it was true or false, it would not bring much change to the current situation of Huashan Sect and the martial arts world.
Regardless of whether Shaolin had taken action against Huashan Sect in the past, at least it is certain that Shaolin is behind the Songshan Sect, and Shaolin did want to intervene in the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Therefore, no matter what the truth of the sword energy dispute is, it can now be confirmed that Shaolin is the hidden enemy of Huashan Sect.
But for Yue Buqun, he may care a lot about the dispute over sword energy, because this is an important reason that led to the decline of Huashan Sect. Although Yue Buqun doesn't say it usually, he cares a lot.
After hearing Jiang Ning's words, Bujie did not respond, but his expression softened.
He could see that the other party respected his master very much.
"Since you've been to Southern Shaolin Temple and met Buhuo, and my name is Bujie, you know that Buhuo, that idiot, and I are brothers in the same sect."
Bujie spoke to Buhuo with disdain.
Jiang Ning did not comment.
He was not interested in the relationship between Bujie and Buhuo as a master and disciple.
Bujie did not continue to talk behind him, but looked at Jiang Ning and said, "You don't seem to be curious why I am a disciple of Southern Shaolin but now I am in Hengshan."
Jiang Ning had known for a long time that Bujie had defected from the temple, so he was naturally not curious.
Jiang Ning didn't respond and just waited for him to speak. Bujie secretly complained in his heart that Jiang Ning was not a good listener.
"I defected from the temple. Oh, no, it was Southern Shaolin who thought I defected from the temple."
Bujie said it lightly.
"Before I became a monk, I was a butcher. One time when Yilin's mother was traveling, I fell in love with her, but her mother ignored me. I thought that monks and nuns should be paired together. Since her mother is a nun, I will become a monk, and her mother will agree. So I went through untold hardships to enter the Southern Shaolin Temple and became a disciple of Lingxuan. They named me Bujie and asked me to abstain from killing and eating meat. But I became a monk to pursue her mother, so why would I care about abstaining or not? Hey."
Talking about the past, Bujie laughed.
Although the other party never got to the point, Jiang Ning did not interrupt him but listened patiently.
"Unfortunately, I miscalculated. After becoming a monk, not only could I not meet her mother, but I also had to abstain from sex. How could this work? I wanted to return to secular life, but the old monk Lingxuan said that I had no wisdom and insisted that I become a monk. He detained me in Southern Shaolin and told me that I could only leave when I defeated him."
"Later, I stayed in Southern Shaolin for many years, fighting with the old monk Lingxuan every year, but I was beaten up by him every time. The old monk was really cruel."
At this point, Bujie still looked a little angry, gritting his teeth, as if he was remembering the old monk's smirk every time he beat him up.
Bujie paused and said.
"But it's also thanks to him that I have such great skills."
"Later, until the last year after I left Southern Shaolin, my martial arts skills improved greatly, and I would go to fight the old monk on the same day every year. But at that time, someone from Songshan Shaolin Temple came and was talking to the old monk in the meditation room."
"Someone is coming from the Shaolin Temple in Songshan? Who is it?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ning's expression changed slightly and he asked a question.
Bujie frowned and thought for a long time.
"I don't know. There were quite a few people who came to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan at that time. One of them seemed to be named Miao... Miaojue, yes, Miaojue."
"Which one is wonderful? Which one is refreshing?"
"Wonderful is wonderful, and awakened is awakened."
"He's still alive?"
"I don't know. If he were still alive today, he would probably be over ninety."
After noting down the name, Jiang Ning nodded and signaled the other party to continue.
Bujie continued, "I wanted to push the door open, but at that time, there happened to be a conversation inside. It was a man from Songshan Shaolin Temple chatting with Lingxuan. They had been talking for a while. When I heard it, I only heard the monk from Songshan Shaolin saying that the Huashan Sect had undergone drastic changes because of the incident of the Sunflower Manual. Many people died in the dispute over sword energy, and the Huashan Sect declined. Now is the opportunity for Shaolin to infiltrate the Five Mountains Sword Sect and control this force. They hope that Southern Shaolin will help as well. They will support Songshan Sect, and Southern Shaolin will support Hengshan Sect, and together they will control the Five Mountains Sword Sect."
Hearing this, Jiang Ning continued listening without saying anything.
Bujie shook his head and said, "But the old monk refused. He said that Southern Shaolin would no longer interfere in any affairs of the martial arts world, nor would it do these things again. Not long after that, the monks from Songshan Shaolin Temple left."
Having said that, Bujie glanced at Jiang Ning.
"You went to Southern Shaolin last year and mentioned the Sunflower Manual to the old monk. I'm afraid you didn't ask out of curiosity because you heard that the manual was once in the hands of Southern Shaolin. Instead, you already knew that the dispute over sword energy in your Huashan Sect was caused by the Sunflower Manual, so you questioned the old monk, right?"
