Chapter 273 The Little Nun 1
"Wanniang, be careful!" The man's deliberately lowered voice was almost inaudible in the rainy night forest, and his light, messy footsteps could only be barely seen by those following the fleeing couple.
Ling Yi was wearing a nun's robe, and her long hair, which had not yet been shaved, was soaked by the rain.
She coldly watched the two people walking hand in hand ahead, and followed them on the slippery ground.
In this world, she is a prospective nun at Jingci Nunnery who has not yet been ordained. Today, she went up the mountain to collect firewood but unexpectedly encountered a young couple on the run.
The young couple lied, saying they had come from the south to visit relatives, but were robbed of all their valuables by bandits. They begged her to save their lives, promising to repay her handsomely in the future.
The young nun, who hadn't thought that far ahead, was gentle and kind-hearted, having been taught by her abbess at the nunnery. Having grown up in this secluded mountain, she believed that saving a life was more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. She never imagined that the young couple was lying and took them back to Jingci Nunnery.
But it was precisely her actions that led the entire nunnery to hell.
The young couple weren't visiting relatives from the south at all; they had been fleeing all the way here, with a large number of pursuers behind them.
When they realized that the pursuers had followed the footsteps in the mountains to Jing'an Temple, the rescued young couple did not hesitate to secretly escape, without any intention of notifying the nuns in the temple to run away together.
Ultimately, the nunnery that had briefly sheltered them was burned to the ground by the pursuing soldiers in their fury, and all five nuns, whether ordained or not, perished in the fire.
The young couple escaped under the cover of Jingci Nunnery, contacted the reinforcements who came to their aid, fought back against their pursuers, and returned to the south to wage a thrilling power struggle.
The original owner had no idea how exciting the war was; she only deeply regretted bringing disaster to her master and fellow disciples in the nunnery.
When her soul looked at the corpses of everyone in front of the Buddhist hall and the raging flames, her only thought was to no longer save the two scourges who had harmed them, and to protect her master and fellow disciples.
But that's not enough.
Ling Yi followed in their footsteps, carefully making sure not to leave any trace of herself, her eyes icy cold.
The fact that not saving her would quell the resentment shows how kind the girl is.
But she was never a kind person.
Tao Yi and Lin Wan are the main characters in this story.
Perhaps even without the young nun's help, they would have had other opportunities to survive and continue their tender love.
But what right does someone who killed their savior have to live a good life?
"what!"
Boom!
Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the night as bright as day, and also clearly showing the figures of the two people supporting each other as they slid down the cliff.
The vines beneath our feet shortened rapidly, eventually clinging tightly to the top of the cliff.
Ling Yi looked at the wet, taut vines, lowered her eyes to pick up Lin Wan's clothes that had been torn from her fall, took two steps forward to pick up Tao Yi's accessories, and also picked up two tree branches from the ground.
She slowly walked towards the cliff, the sound of the rain effectively concealing her movements.
"Wanniang, hold on tight to me, don't let go!" Tao Yi clung tightly to the vines on the cliff, his heart filled with coldness.
The roads were slippery due to the rain, and they were unfamiliar with the terrain, so their current predicament was a last resort.
Fortunately, this vine saved them!
He had practiced martial arts since childhood and had strong arms. Even if he was pulling someone, he could hold on for more than 15 minutes. That 15 minutes was enough time for him to grab Wan Niang and climb up!
Once he gets back alive, he'll definitely kill all those stupid brothers of his!
A ruthless glint flashed in Tao Yi's eyes. Just as he was about to exert force, a figure appeared at the edge of the cliff. His expression changed: "Who?"
The figure didn't answer, but slowly bent down and pulled on the vines, cleverly wedging the fabric she had picked up at an angle, and then threw the accessories aside, pretending to be flustered and lost them.
Her unhurried movements were completely invisible to the two people floating on the cliff. Lin Wan, who couldn't see anything at all, was fine, but Tao Yi, who could only see bits and pieces...
On a rainy day, a man with disheveled hair stood on the edge of a cliff, doing something strange...
It would be unreasonable not to say that we encountered some kind of mountain spirit, wouldn't it?
Tao Yi hissed, "Get out of here, you charlatan!"
With that, he suddenly twisted his hand, tied the vine to his wrist, and pushed off with his feet, trying to use the momentum to climb up.
"boom!"
A small stone landed precisely on his forehead at that moment, smashing a hole in his forehead from which blood gushed out.
Ling Yi's dark eyes coldly observed Tao Yi's sudden look of shock and anger, admiring her own masterpiece.
It's perfect. As soon as the pursuers arrive, they'll know immediately that two people who were trying to escape fell off the cliff.
what?
It hasn't fallen yet?
Lingyi picked up another stone from beside her and threw it down again.
And so it went, one blow after another, until Tao Yi's mind went blank, his vision blurred from blood loss, and he almost lost all strength in his hands.
Lin Wan, whom he was holding with his other hand, clearly sensed his helplessness. She cried out his name and clung tightly to his leg, as if afraid of falling into the dark cliff.
With his lower hand freed, Tao Yi laboriously raised his hand and grabbed the other hand onto the vine.
The use of his hands made him more stable, and he even had the energy to open his blood-blurred eyes wide, trying to see who was up there causing trouble.
Are they pursuers?
No, those people want to see him alive or dead. They want to take his body back to claim their reward. How could they let his body fall off the cliff for nothing?
Could it really be a spirit...?
Unbelievable thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the next moment, he suddenly lost all strength and the ability to think amidst excruciating pain, and fell off the cliff.
Ling Yi, who had used a homemade bow and arrow to insert a branch into his hand, watched indifferently as Tao Yi, with branches stuck in his hands, fell off the cliff with Lin Wan. A glint of light flashed in his dark eyes.
Tao Yi might still have a chance to survive, but there's no way she can. Her frail body simply can't support her in doing anything to dispose of the body. She can only let him have his way for now...
Smacking her lips, Ling Yi shakily used all her strength to lift a rather large rock and throw it off the cliff.
I hope it kills them, Amitabha.
Clapping her hands, Ling Yi felt refreshed and looked around. Under the cover of the heavy rain, she jumped onto a large tree next to her and disappeared into the darkness along the branches and bushes, leaving no footprints.
To prevent her pursuers from finding her again by following her footprints, she had to hide in the mountains for a while and wait until things calmed down before coming down.
