The boulder that rolled down the mountain was stuck between two pines and cypresses, and its roots still carried fresh loess. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Hua Liyue saw that her heart moved, and she couldn't help but shudder: This rock was originally half-buried in the soil, and it was shaken by artificial force that it suddenly rolled down from the mountain.

This is someone who wants their lives!

Huo Lianjue thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that the moment the rock rolled down before, in his panic, he once saw a figure wearing a blue-gray monk's robe and a hat flashing in the mountains and forests. It's a pity that things happened too suddenly, and he didn't really see it in the flash.

In broad daylight, who would do such a vicious thing? Looking at the figure in its dress, could it really be that the monks in the temple had the heart to harm others?

But why did the monks want to harm the people who sat in the carriage? Could it be that they knew that it was the local magistrate who was sitting in the carriage, so they wanted to create another disaster to cover up the truth about the death of Merlin's female corpse?

Hua Lianyue and Huo Lianjue looked at each other, and the thoughts in their minds were already messy. More and more mysteries made Huo Lianjue's thick eyebrows frown deeply.

When the two of them returned to the carriage, they saw that the young horse was completely quiet under the comfort of the coachman. It whimpered in its throat, its nostrils snorted and snorted, and one of its front hooves scraped the snow on the ground.

Hua Lianyue stretched out her hand and patted the horse's head, and asked crisply, "What should I do, can this carriage still sit?" She was afraid that if she sat halfway and ran into a falling rock, she didn't know if she would be lucky enough to escape.

Li Ruolan grabbed Chu Yun's arm with palpitations, her face was snow-white, and her messy sideburns were wet with cold sweat. Her water chestnut-like red lips trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Why don't we walk for a while! Anyway, this place is not far from the top of the mountain." "Anyone who passes through that thrilling scene just now will become a frightened bird!

Huo Lianjue's eyes flashed with a strange look, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said: "This horse has been pacified, and it should be okay to blindfold the horse, let the coachman be careful, and control the direction." ”

"You have to blindfold the horse, what if you step into the air?" Chu Yun exclaimed, his eyes flashing with intense fear.

Hua Liyue pulled a piece of cloth to blindfold the horse, and the coachman tentatively drove the empty car away for a short while. Although blindfolded, the green horse walked very meekly in the direction in which the coachman pulled the reins.

Seeing that the carriage had returned safely, Hua Lianyue patted the back of Li Ruolan's hand and comforted: "Sister Ruolan can rest assured now, although the horse is blindfolded, she can completely obey the horseman's command, but she is not so easily frightened." ”

Li Ruolan snorted for a while, the soft deerskin boots on her feet were slowly soaked by the snow, and the soles of her feet were bitterly cold. She gritted her teeth secretly and said to Chu Yun: "Since Yue'er and Master Huo have said that it's okay, we should believe them and get in the car!"

"Yes!" Although Chu Yun was full of fear and timidity, he still obediently helped Li Ruolan into the carriage.

The carriage creaked on its way again, only this time it slowed down considerably. The young horses stepped on the snow in an orderly manner, as if they were strolling in a leisurely garden.

The coachman carefully pulled the reins and controlled the direction of the horse. There was silence in the carriage, and Li Ruolan and Chu Yun both sat stiffly, not even daring to come out.

Hua Lianyue looked relaxed, she snuggled by the car window, opened a corner of the curtain, and kept observing with cold eyes.

Huo Lianjue was still sitting beside the coachman, his face slightly raised, and a pair of shining black eyes were also vigilantly scanning every dark corner around him.

Fortunately, there were no other accidents along the way. Gradually, the carriage got closer and closer to Hokkeji Temple. The unique fragrance of incense candles wafted in the empty front lawn with the cold wind.

The low groans of the monks knocking on the wooden fish and chanting the scriptures passed through the howling cold wind and floated in the ears of everyone.

Li Ruolan, who had been nervous, was strangely soothed by the distant sound of chanting. She relaxed and listened quietly.

Until the coachman spoke respectfully outside: "Madam, you have arrived at Fahua Temple!"

Li Ruolan woke up like a dream and muttered, "So fast!" Suddenly, she was shocked, lifted the curtain, and asked in a loud voice: "Didn't you see the eldest young master all the way?"

The coachman shook his head and said, "I have been watching all the way, but I really haven't seen the eldest young master." ”

Li Ruolan's eyes suddenly straightened, if she lost the eldest young master of the Yan family, this Yan Mansion was afraid that she would not want to go back in her life.

Although Chu Yun was secretly anxious in his heart, he still said comfortingly, "Madam, don't worry, maybe the eldest young master can't wait, and he has already advanced to the temple." Besides, there is Anfu, An Shou follows, and nothing can happen. ”

"But, but ......." Li Ruolan still looked hesitant.

She also knew that Yan Yushu was followed by An Fu and An Shou. In the old days, she wouldn't have been careful. But today, she had heard Hua Lianyue mention that a female corpse had inexplicably appeared on the mountain next door. Halfway down the road just now, a boulder fell from the sky, and she still has palpitations for a while.

For some reason, her eyelids kept jumping, and her heart was also uneasy, always feeling that something big was going to happen.

"Don't be!" Hua Lianyue also spoke at this time: "It is said that good people do not live long, and disasters will last for a thousand years." Just that stinky boy, with a bad stomach, how can he honestly wait at the gate of the temple, and maybe he will run in and harm someone again. ”

Li Ruolan secretly smiled bitterly, and only muttered in her mouth, "I hope so!"

The three of them got out of the carriage and saw Huo Lianjue standing alone outside the solemn and magnificent temple gate of the temple. There is a huge release pond at the entrance of the temple, but unfortunately the water in the pond is frozen, and I don't know if the little lives released by the pilgrims are still alive and well.

There is a plum tree sandwiched between a few green pines covered with snow standing by the pool, and the plum blossoms are sparse and bright, and they are blown by the cold wind and sprinkled all over the ground, looking lonely.

Huo Lianjue stood under the plum tree, listening to the dull ringing of the bell in the temple with a solemn face.

"What's wrong? what's wrong with this bell?" asked Hua Lianyue as she approached him and whispered.

Huo Lianjue was silent for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, ringing the bell at this time means that the monks in the temple have just finished their lunch class. ”

According to Huo Lianjue's understanding, the lunch class of Fahua Temple is generally arranged at an early time. If there are no special circumstances, all the monks in the temple have to participate, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Huo Lianjue. Because there are as many as twenty or thirty monks in Fahua Mountain, it is not easy to find the mysterious monk who pushed down the boulder.

If the monks in the monastery had been doing lunch classes before, then this would have been much easier. Because from the time the boulder fell to the time they came to the gate of the temple, there was only a difference of more than half an hour. And the monks of Fahua Temple usually spend an hour doing lunch classes, so the murderers who pushed down the boulders must be among those monks who did not do lunch classes.

Hua Lianyue thought about it for a while, and also thought of this layer. She smiled at Huo Lianjue and said, "Let's go! Whether it's the Buddha Hall or the Demon Cave, we have to break through after all!"
