Chapter 159: Washing the Pulp Drum

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the green shade along the street is verdant, You Xue and Yuan Ziyue walk hand in hand on Showa Street at will, one person in green clothes and one person crimson, with a face like a peach and a slender posture into a scenery by itself, just because there is a cold and frosty guard dressed up as a young man, which makes the nobles who want to come forward to talk to sigh.

The three of them were like no one around, feeling the rare leisure scenery.

The rising sun shines in this bustling and noisy street market, which will be full of chariots and horses, bustling people, tea shops and restaurants along the street, pavilions and cornices, reflecting a bit of dream-like colorful picture scrolls, worthy of being the most prosperous neighborhood in the royal capital city.

Walk out of Showa Street, turn into Shangsanfang, along the official mansion of the Hou Mansion with exquisite carved beams and paintings, pass the main gate of the palace Chengtian Gate, followed by Ah Sui pointed to a long stone staircase in the northeast next to the palace, extending straight to the high platform on the top of the mountain, "That is the altar of sacrifice." ”

At this moment, a defensive line has been laid under the altar of the festival, and the officers and soldiers and the black guards surround the entrance.

You Xue looked far away and saw that some officials near the altar seemed to be discussing something, and Yue Chengde was among them, the Gulan Kingdom was respected by purple, followed by blue, the royal family and clan clothes were mostly blue, and ochre was the first of the hundred officials, so Li Guoxiang was also very conspicuous standing in a dark red official uniform among the officials.

Yuan Ziyue pulled her and said: "Bypassing Qinghe Street in front, it is the East Linfang, and the Cao'an Temple is there." ”

Ah Sui glanced at her thoughtfully.

You Xue retracted her gaze and was about to walk towards Donglinfang, when a carriage on the opposite side passed by them, the curtain of the carriage was raised in the wind, and the woman in brocade sitting inside exclaimed in surprise: "It's the Nanxing girl!"

You Xue and the three of them were smart, and when they looked back, the carriage was also parked at this time.

After a while, Gu got out of the car and said in surprise: "Oh, it's really Nanxing girl, I almost didn't recognize it, are you going to worship?"

"Mrs. Zeng, what a coincidence. You Xue nodded.

At this time, two more girls came out of the car, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes and exquisite makeup, rich and gorgeous clothes, at first glance, they were the daughters of the family, one of them was wearing a red cross-collared skirt at a glance, and saw Yuan Ziyue in a scarlet skirt chic and delicate, and her appearance was extremely beautiful, and her face was uncertain, "Second Mrs. Zeng, who are they?"

Gu hurriedly introduced: "Lord Tianlan, they are the doctors of Nanxing Tower, and their medical skills are very good. The concubine has been sick for many years, and this Nanxing girl has taken care of it!"

The county lord of Tianlan squinted at You Xue, and saw that although this woman was dressed in plain clothes, her appearance was better, and her eyebrows seemed familiar, her eyes were cold, "What kind of noble person is the main road of this county, it turns out that he is just a pariahs in the market, and it is also worth seeing the second lady Zeng when he gets out of the car, hum ......" After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and walked towards Chengtianmen, and the guards behind him immediately followed the guards.

Gu's face was embarrassed, and she was relieved to see that You Xue and the two of them were not angry, and their faces were light and light.

The girl in the goose yellow dress had a delicate face and a shy temperament, but she didn't look at You Xue and them, but just stood beside Zeng and said softly: "Mrs. Zeng, the queen summoned me, I can't delay." ”

Gu's face didn't show any urgency, but he stepped forward and said, "Nanxing girl, are you free tomorrow?"

You Xue looked at the girl behind her who had changed her face, and said lightly: "Nanxing Tower is open for business, and Mrs. can come at any time." ”

Gu smiled very happily, and after a few more words, he walked with the girl in goose yellow clothes in the direction of Chengtianmen.

You Xue turned around and continued to walk towards Donglinfang, catching a glimpse of Ah Sui's strange face, she said, "What?"

"Miss Nanxing doesn't remember Lord Tianlan?"

You Xue thought it was funny, "Why should I remember her?

Yuan Ziyue raised her eyebrows, and saw that Ah Sui had a black face and shut up, she continued: "I don't know if it's true, anyway, the market is very popular, this Tianlan county lord is the treasure in the palm of the Lan Mansion, and he is very favored by the country. ”

"So you talked about it for a long time, does it have anything to do with me?" You Xue thought for a while, and suddenly said, "According to what you say, it will be a matter of time before she recognizes me." ”

Yuan Ziyue walked slowly with her arms crossed, and she was kind and seductive: "At the beginning, I said, be a pair of twin sisters with me, it's still too late, I still keep the mask well!"

The temple is also located in the bustling city, and the Saren sect, which has been renamed the temple of Cao'an, can be described as flourishing with incense, the bluestone road leading to the temple is carved with lifelike totem stone carvings, and a long queue of worshippers carrying tributes or incense candles against the hot sun moves forward.

A solemn drum beat resounded in the sky, and You Xue asked Ah Sui, "What is this?" She knew that it was the sound of bells and drums, but the bells and drums of this temple didn't seem to be struck like this, right?

"This is the drum of washing the marrow, the drum for the believers to remove karma and dispel evil spirits, as long as you spend a lot of money, you can eliminate disasters and evil spirits, and it sounds so much, it seems that there are a lot of high-ranking officials and rich people. ”

Yuan Ziyue held her face in surprise, "Ah Sui, it's rare that you actually said so many words!"

Ah Sui's face sank, shut up and retreated to stop paying attention to the two.

You Xue recalled Ah Sui's explanation, as if she had thought of something, and the corners of her lips hooked up with a mocking smile.

After a long wait, finally squeezed into the temple with the crowd of people, the Mulan monk's robe on the high platform is a little familiar, one hand holds the Dharma instrument to chant the words, the other hand holds the fingers of the believers, as if to convey the power, every time a sentence is recited, there will be a little monk to beat the bell and drum.

Walking into the main hall, the central gilded Buddha is no different from the Muye Temple, except that there are rows of small Buddhas sitting or standing against the wall around them, with hideous or kind faces.

Walking through the main hall, the back was surrounded by officers and soldiers and was not allowed to enter, probably the holy monks were preparing for the middle pheasant festival.

Because the crowd was very crowded, the three of them were scattered several times, and Yuan Ziyue was also burned by the incense, so she was immediately furious, and pulled You Xue to walk towards the exit, probably because her face was too fierce and vicious, and she was immediately frightened and everyone opened a road.

After walking out of the Cao'an Temple, You Xue looked back at the glazed tile temple roof covered with golden light and asked, "How is it?"

Yuan Ziyue was a little ignorant.

Ah Sui said: "There is nothing to see. ”

"That marrow washing drum, the drum surface on it," You Xue looked at Yuan Ziyue and said softly, "It's human skin." ”

"This ......," Yuan Ziyue was shocked, "I really didn't see it." "Well, she didn't even look at it, she was simply pushed by those devout cultists and lost her temper.

"Do you suspect that there is something wrong with this temple?"

You Xue stood by the moat, feeling the hot wind, and the lake was as green as a mirror, "I saw that drum just now, and suddenly remembered an allusion about punishment in the Huoluo Sect, they will conduct a trial of the Holy Spirit every six months, if the one who does not pass, it will be skinned and boneless, and the skin will be made into a new drum surface to cover the spiritual drum of the staff of the sect deity." ”

Ah Sui stood aside and watched her focus thoughtfully.

Yuan Ziyue patted her head, with an expression of sudden epiphany: "Yes, Gu Luo You has it, but I haven't seen it." ”

"Fortunately, you only disguised it for more than half a month. You Xue was haunted by her adventure.

Ah Sui suddenly chuckled and asked, "So, do you doubt that this Cao'an Temple, it should be said that this Saren Sect, which is revered as a national temple, is still inextricably related to the Huoluo Sect?"

You Xue felt that Ah Sui's expression was a little strange, "It's just a guess, after all, many coincidences come together, it's not a coincidence." ”

"Do you need to tell the prince about this?"

"I thought you would tell him everything. ”

"The prince said, in the future, Zaixia and the three hundred and sixty-four hidden guards will be directly dispatched by the Nanxing girl, and there is no need to return to him for everything. ”

When You Xue heard this, she was silent, she looked up at the birds in the blue sky swimming away, her eyes were envious.
