Jin Shuhen

In the third year after coming to Baiyun Temple, the abbot, Master Huineng, still refused to shave Bai Jinshu.Fortunately, Bai Jinshu was no longer attached.It doesn't make any difference to him to practice with or without hair.He can understand Master Huineng's thoughts.After all, people in the Buddhist sect should have their six senses pure and their ties to dust should be gone.But he can't.He promised Ye Lihen in his heart that he would regret, feel guilty and suffer for the rest of his life as Ye Lihen wished.These are the worldly things that he will never let go of.

Buddhism is not a place for him to take refuge, but a place for him to pray for a better afterlife for Ye Lihen.

Bai Jinshu never recited the scriptures and Buddha for himself, but silently recited the Heart Sutra as a guide for the way forward for the only thought in his heart.

On this day, a novice came to Bai Jinshu's room and handed the empty envelope to Bai Jinshu.

"Brother Bai, someone outside asked me to give you this letter."

Bai Jinshu took the envelope slightly confused.He didn't hide his name here, but he didn't have any friends who could communicate with him by letter: "Who is it?"

"I don't know, the person here is wearing a bamboo hat, looking mysterious."

Whether someone is looking for him to reminisce about the past, or someone is looking for trouble for him, it has nothing to do with Bai Jinshu today.After thanking him, he waved the little novice away and casually opened the envelope.

He thought that nothing in this letter was important, but in the empty envelope, what he found was a blank white letterhead.

Bai Jinshu's heartbeat quickened unconsciously.He didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't help but recall the blank brocade book that Ye Lihen once gave him.Once it was reported to Yuemanlou, and once it was left in a cave without words. In this life, this is the third time Bai Jinshu has received a wordless brocade book.

If he dared to hope, he might have to suffer again the pain and despair that were almost unbearable for him.However, the instinct of the body made Bai Jinshu rush out of the room immediately.

Outside the small Baiyun Temple, the mountain road is wide open. At this time, Bai Jinshu took a look, but there was no one there.

"Xiao Li..." Bai Jinshu whispered the name unknowingly, with endless fear and anxiety, "Xiao Li?" He tried to raise his voice, hoping that the person he called could hear his voice.

"Xiao Li—" Finally, he yelled out loudly.

More than two years of longing, guilt, pain, those surging emotions that have never been vented, at this moment become like cries for help.

"Little Li—"

However, the only response to him was the echo echoing in the valley.

Bai Jinshu chased him down the main road like a headless fly.

It is said that it is a mysterious person wearing a bamboo hat, but in reality, Bai Jinshu has not even seen a woodcutter or hunter.He wandered around the foot of the mountain in a trance, only feeling that he had lost his way.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally regained his composure.

——This must be confirmed!

It doesn't matter if he can't find anyone, but at least he wants to confirm that Ye Lihen is still alive!

In order to be closer to Ye Lihen, after Ye Lihen was buried in Renwang Mountain, Bai Jinshu found the nearest monastery so that he could always be by Ye Lihen's side.At this time, he performed lightness kung fu and arrived at Renwang Mountain not long after.

The disciples of King Ren's sect were quite surprised and happy to see Bai Jinshu, but Bai Jinshu didn't have time to catch up with his brother, nephew, and he went straight to Ye Lihen's grave.

When he arrived at the destination, Bai Jinshu saw that Jiang Cheng had already dug the coffin with his own hands.

More than two years ago, Bai Jinshu was really powerless and ignored the matters concerning the Lin family in Chang'an, or the Fire Lotus Sect and the martial arts conference. However, Jiang Cheng investigated the Lin family in detail according to Ye Lihen's request from Mo Feixiao.Afterwards, when the Lin family saw that their plot had been exposed, they simply put up a big fanfare and publicly announced the "Heavenly Blood" organization that had actually been secretly established.For a time, the "Heavenly Blood" organization was rampant in the martial arts world, and became a feared cult in the world.As the leader of the martial arts alliance, Jiangcheng was originally responsible for his duties, and because of more subjective reasons, in the action against "heavenly blood", he went through life and death several times. It can be said that he has been too busy for the past two years.Bai Jinshu, who often secretly went back to Renwang Mountain to see Ye Lihen, roughly knew how long Jiangcheng hadn't returned to the sect.When I saw the other party at this time, a thought flashed in my mind.

The arrival of Bai Jinshu made Jiang Cheng show a hint of surprise after thinking about it.

"Did you receive something?"

Bai Jinshu nodded: "It's Jinshu."

Jiang Cheng didn't know the allusion to the so-called "Book of Jin", but this didn't affect his hopeful joy at all. "I have received an order to restore the North."

When Ye Lihen was buried, Jiang Cheng took Fu Beiling as a souvenir and buried Ye Lihen in the ground together.This matter is extremely secret, no third person knows.On the other hand, if someone really robbed the tomb, how could he return Fubeiling to Jiangcheng?

There is only one person who will do that, just like only one person will send a blank letter to Bai Jinshu.

Finally, the coffin buried by Bai Jinshu and Jiang Cheng two years ago was unearthed again.

Bai Jinshu and Jiang Cheng looked at each other, stretched out their hands at the same time, and slowly pushed open the coffin lid——

There was no one in the coffin.

Bai Jinshu laughed softly, and sat down on the ground beside the coffin.

"I should have thought of it a long time ago. Xiaoli is so smart, how could he be fooled by me? He must know that the third cave is the door of life. It's just that he was so angry at that time, he ran into the second cave on purpose At that time, the cave kept collapsing. It should be that Xiaoli shook the mountain wall loose with his palm on the inside. Xiaoli's internal skills are weird, and he must be able to learn turtle breathing skills. Said to make us regret and suffer for a lifetime, so we deliberately set up a fake death."

"But after all, he couldn't bear to make us suffer forever, so he finally reminded us."

The life sentence was shortened to two years, Ye Lihen was petty and held grudges, but his heart was so soft.This made Bai Jinshu, who once thought the other party was ruthless, feel distressed and sad.

"Maybe he is willing to forgive us, but he doesn't want to see me." Bai Jinshu murmured to himself.

That person must be Ye Lihen, he came to Baiyun Temple, gave the letter to Bai Jinshu, but left immediately without staying for a moment.

"As long as he lives well." Jiang Cheng replied softly after a short silence.

Bai Jinshu stood up slowly.

"Uncle, I'm leaving first."

"Where are you going?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Bai Jinshu looked in an unknown direction: "If Xiaoli doesn't want to see me, I will avoid him. But if he is just too proud to show up, then I will hang around him with a shy face, and I can't let him go. He is lonely because he wants to save face."

"But do you know where to find it?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure I'll find it. After all, I've got a lifetime."
