Chapter 251 The True Identity of Master Wuchen
According to previous surveys, Master Wuchen had a twin brother, but the midwife was sure that only one child was born that year and there were no twins at all.
Master Wuchen's parents also left the village because they gave birth to this Liufing child, and their whereabouts were unknown.
During this period, no one could investigate where the family moved. Because nearby villages would have migrant populations from time to time, let alone small towns, and no one noticed that there were couples with twins or six-fingered children.
The timelines cannot be combined together, so there is no way to confirm whether the child mentioned by the midwife is the person they are looking for.
Therefore, Si Moli turned her attention to the temple where Master Wuchen first appeared.
The temple is small and broken. At that time, only an old monk was found. After identifying the portrait of Master Wuchen, he said that he should have stayed in this temple and could not remember anything else.
Si Moli sent secret guards to find out if there were any other monks in this temple.
Finally, I found a young monk from that year, who has now become an abbot in other temples, with the Dharma name Mingjing.
Mingjing remembers Wuchen: "We grew up together in the temple since we were young. Wuchen was diligent and sweet-mouthed. The monks in the temple liked him, but later the incense in the temple was not good, and many monks in it began to seek their own way out.
I also left there, came here by chance, and then broke off contact."
The secret guard asked, "Does Master Wuchen have brothers?"
Mingjing shook his head: "No, like me, he is a child adopted by the temple."
The secret guard noticed something was wrong and took out Wuchen's portrait to see Mingjing. Unexpectedly, after Mingjing identified it, he was very puzzled: "This, so many years have passed, and I can't remember it very clearly, but I think this portrait is
Not very much like Wuchen, but rather like..."
"Like who?"
"Like Xiao Liu. He was the child Wu Chen picked up, but the abbot at that time said that Xiao Liu's six senses had not been exhausted, so he did not accept him. Wu Chen felt sorry for his young age and had no father or mother, so he asked the abbot to allow him.
Xiao Liu lives in the temple and can do some miscellaneous work on weekdays, so the abbot also agreed.”
Mingjing said, smiling: "Xiao Liu and Wu Chen are indeed somewhat similar. Many pilgrims think they are brothers. This is probably fate."
The secret guard noticed something was wrong with Xiao Liu and continued to ask: "Why is this name Xiao Liu called it? Does he have six fingers?"
Mingjing was a little surprised: "How did you know? Because he was born with Liu Finger and had no name, he was called Xiao Liu in the temple."
The secret guard soon passed the news back.
Si Moli quickly realized something was wrong. Since that was the case, it was probably Xiao Liu who killed Wuchen and then used his identity, so he killed all the monks in the temple.
But there is still something that makes sense.
Those monks died a few years ago and there were still people in White Horse Temple who had seen them. Even if the two of them were similar, could they be exactly the same?
And if Master Wuchen is actually Xiao Liu, why can't he see anything strange in his left hand?
But no matter what, after mastering this news, Si Moli decided to control Master Wuchen first.
But in just one or two days, Master Wuchen disappeared.
Although Si Moli had sent someone to surround the White Horse Temple, Master Wuchen still ran away quietly.
There was no choice but to bring the old monk from White Horse Temple to ask again.
There are only two old monks in the temple now, one of whom was hit by a cold wind and could not hold on to it when he was lying on the bed.
The other person was the same as before at the beginning, until Si Moli said that he found something strange to Master Wuchen, and finally explained the truth.
He thought for a long time before he said, "When I arrived at White Horse Temple, there were very few people here, and there were less than ten monks in one temple. Later, my reputation was spread for some reason, and the incense became more prosperous. Wuchen
He and his brother Xiaoliu came at that time."
"At that time, I was just a little monk doing odd jobs. I was very happy to know that there were two new monks in the temple. One night, I passed by the wing room, but... I accidentally saw Xiao Liuhe
A female pilgrim was intimate in the wing room. The monk was frightened and hurried to inform the abbot at that time quietly."
"The abbot took a man to the wing room and caught their affair. Xiaoliu was driven away, and the female pilgrim never came to the temple again. Master Wuchen thought Xiaoliu was brought by him and was ready to ask for it.
Leave. But he talked very well about Buddhism. The abbot wanted to keep him. In the end, Wuchen promised Yunyou would come back in two or three years."
He recalled the years before, and his face showed his glory and pain of surviving the disaster: "It was the years when Wuchen left, and people began to die in the temple. Apart from me and another little monk who was doing odd jobs, nothing else was there
If you die of illness, you will accidentally fall to death in the mountains, or you will come back if you go out."
"In those years, more than a dozen monks were adopted by the famous people and adopted several children, and those who died were from the former temple."
"Later, Wuchen came back. His name was in the temple, so others did not doubt it."
"But I recognize that it is not Wuchen, it is obviously Xiaoliu. At this time, I realized it later. Perhaps the death of those monks was not an accident."
He sighed, and two lines of turbid tears flowed out of his eyes: "They look like each other, and the other little monk did not notice anything. I also pretended to be unaware of it, so I survived to this point."
"Prince, I'm sorry." The old monk choked and said, "Last time your person came to ask, I was afraid of death, so I didn't dare to tell the truth. After so many years, there was no day when I didn't feel pain in my heart. Prince, if it were you
If you can find out the truth, please ask justice for the monks who died in White Horse Temple!”
After listening to these things after Shen Qingyun was in the screen, he remained silent for a long time.
So, Wuchen saved Xiaoliu and allowed him to grow up safely. But there was no incense in the original temple, so the two went out to beg for alms and live together, and all the way to Baima Temple.
After finally being able to settle down, Xiao Liu made a mistake and was kicked out.
So he simply killed Wuchen, killed someone in the temple who might know his identity, and then used Wuchen's identity.
As for the six fingers that disappeared, why he said those words to Shen Zhifeng, and why he saved Jiang Lin, he could only know the truth by catching him.
Shen Qingyun walked out from behind the screen and asked, "Mo Li, can you find out where Wuchen has gone?"
Si Moli looked a little solemn: "He is just a monk and has no unique martial arts skills. My people guard it day and night, and he can run away. Someone else must have saved him."
