When they arrived at the hall, the woman knelt in front of the largest Buddha statue in the hall. She pressed her palms together and said with tears in her eyes, “Great Buddha, I beg you to save my son. I beg you to show your might. I’m willing to exchange my life for my son’s.”
The sound of the woman kowtowing made people sigh and pity her.
The child on her back was also in tears. He widened his eyes and looked at the Buddha’s Golden Body that was inches away.
The novice monk went forward and said mercifully, “Amitabha.” Then, he said to the woman, “Patron, please get up. Please sit down and tell me what illness your son has and where you live.”
The woman wiped her tears and stood up. She said to the novice monk, “My surname is Chu. I married into Xinzi village ten miles away from Furongzhou. My husband’s surname is Xiao. A year ago, my son, Xiao Bing, suddenly contracted a strange illness, but we couldn’t find the cause. I don’t know what happened, but he suddenly couldn’t walk. I brought him to see all the famous doctors in Furongzhou, but we couldn’t find the cause. They all said that my son was healthy.”!!
When Mdm Chu said this, tears fell like rain. She endured it and said with a hoarse voice, “Everyone says that he’s not sick, but why is he suddenly unable to move his feet or hands? I don’t understand why. I hope Buddha can appear and give me a hint.”
The novice monk looked sad and only said, “Amitabha.”
Hearing Madam Chu’s tearful words, everyone revealed sympathetic expressions.
Su Xiaolu looked at the woman and was curious about her child’s illness. She walked to the side.
Su Xiaolu walked to a novice monk and showed him her identity token. Then, she said to the novice monk, “Prepare a meditation room for me. I want to see the mother and son who are seeking medical treatment.”
Many novice monks did not know Su Xiaolu’s identity, but they all knew that the holder of this identity card deserved special treatment. They had to find a good reception and report it to the abbot.
The novice monk nodded and said respectfully, “Patron, please wait a moment. I’ll make the arrangements now.”
Su Xiaolu returned to her seat and waited. When she saw someone walking towards her, Su Xiaolu sized him up. Her gaze moved down and landed on the person’s feet. Soon, the person walked up to her.
“It seems that you already know my identity.”
Zhou Zhi spoke calmly and sat down beside Su Xiaolu. Su Xiaolu sized up him, but he was also sizing her up.
She was a very lively, confident, and beautiful girl. Her eyes were very beautiful and inexplicably attractive. She was like a small animal, sensitive and vigilant.
Su Xiaolu did not expect Zhou Zhi to be so straightforward. For a moment, she did not know what to say. Su Xiaolu only looked at Zhou Zhi’s feet and pondered for a moment before asking, “Is my Master wrong? I see that your feet are fine.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi. She felt that Zhou Zhi would definitely flare up when she asked this.
However, Zhou Zhi frowned. His expression was very calm, and there were no fluctuations in his eyes. He said calmly, “His information is not wrong. My legs have been replaced by prosthetics. They’re tied to my knees.”
Zhou Zhi said it calmly. Su Xiaolu didn’t think he was lying.
Su Xiaolu could not imagine how much he had suffered with this prosthetic leg.
She did not talk to Zhou Zhi anymore. Su Xiaolu was already thinking of a way out. How could she leave and get rid of Zhou Zhi? She remembered that the old man had said that Zhou Zhi was proficient in conspiracies and schemes. He was a ruthless person. Just a few glances made him suspicious of her. However, she met him today. He had probably guessed her identity as soon as they met.
Su Xiaolu did not speak for a long time, but Zhou Zhi said calmly, “Have you met him? His legs should have recovered for many years.”
Su Xiaolu smiled sweetly at Zhou Zhi and nodded. “I’m not sure about that either. We only met twice. Later, Master took him away. I heard from Master that he was cured, but I don’t know how he is now.”
Su Xiaolu did not know if this could fool Zhou Zhi. Anyway, she could not tell Zhou Zhi the truth.
She prayed that Zhou Zhi would believe her.
This way, her family would at least be safer.
She remembered that Old Wu had said that Zhou Zhi and Zhou Heng were twins, but their appearances did not look alike at all. If Zhou Zhi had not revealed the truth, she would not have been able to tell that they were brothers. They really did not look alike at all.
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu and smiled. “Little divine doctor, have you read my letter? Can you give me an answer to what I want to ask?”
Zhou Zhi changed the topic and did not ask about Zhou Heng anymore.
He looked at Su Xiaolu and asked for an answer sincerely.
Su Xiaolu looked into his eyes and replied truthfully, “The answer I can give you is that it’s impossible. The living dead are just exaggerating. The regeneration of broken limbs has nothing to do with medical skills. Only the gods can regenerate broken limbs. Master and I are just ordinary people. At most, we know a little more about pharmacology.”
“You can’t do it?”
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu indifferently. There seemed to be a lot of disappointment in his indifferent tone.
At this moment, the novice monk walked over and said to Su Xiaolu, “Little Patron, the meditation room is ready. Are you going over now?”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Yes, let’s go over now.”
With that, Su Xiaolu turned to Zhou Zhi and said, “I have something on. I won’t talk to you anymore. I’ll leave first.”
Su Xiaolu did not want to be involved with Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi smiled at her and said gently and calmly, “Alright, go ahead. We’ll meet again if fate allows.”
With that, Zhou Zhi stood up and walked out.
He did not walk fast, but from his posture, there was no problem.
Su Xiaolu frowned when she saw this. Zhou Zhi was very thin and disabled. He probably did not know martial arts, but such a person made Su Xiaolu feel a sense of danger for the first time.
This Zhou Zhi, who did not seem to have any emotions or hatred and did not even seem to have any martial strength, was a very dangerous person.
Zhou Zhi did not stop or turn around. He really left. It was not until she could not see him that Su Xiaolu said to the novice monk who was waiting for her, “Let’s go and take a look now.”
The novice monk led the way and Su Xiaolu followed.
Madam Chu and her son, Xiao Bing, were already waiting in the meditation room under the lead of the novice monk. The novice monk said that he wanted to introduce her to a doctor. Madam Chu was very happy. She thanked the novice monk and waited.
Qinglian Monastery was really good. A novice monk brought over vegetarian food. Madam Chu’s eyes were red as she said to Xiao Bing, “Bing, come. Let’s eat some food first. The vegetarian food in this temple will have a Buddhist nature. It’s good for your health. Let’s eat more.”
