Chapter 065: Hunting in the Dark Forest (Second Watch Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
Out of Huaiyin City all the way to the south, there is a South Leaf Mountain almost ten miles away, there is a South Leaf Temple on the South Leaf Mountain, it is the destination of this trip, the nearest Buddhist temple from Huaiyin City is the Yongzheng Temple that is less than a mile outside the city, compared to there, the incense in the South Leaf Temple is less pitiful, if you really want to say a benefit, the South Leaf Temple is quiet.
Chaoxi is still dressed in red clothes and black hair, her eyes are covered with ribbons, she seems to be used to blindness, so dressed up is not weird, the carriage is the most ordinary carriage, Shen'er drove outside, all the way to the side gate of Nanye Temple silently.
"Master, it's here. β
Shen'er spoke, and leaned out in the morning.
After getting out of the carriage, there was a white-bearded old monk dressed in gray standing in front of the temple gate.
"Donor, it's been a long time. β
The old monk Buddha was in front of him, bowed to Chaoxi, and the corners of Chaoxi's lips curved slightly, "Master Kong, I haven't seen you for four years." β
He looked up and down his eyes day and night, and said with a gentle smile, "The donor said that he would come back after four years, and he did not miss the appointment. β
Chaoxi's eyes were clearly covered with ribbons, which was blind, but Likong actually said that she was safe, obviously seeing that her eye disease had been cured, and the corners of her lips were slightly curved, "Master kind words, take me to my mother." β
He nodded, "Okay, donor, please come in." β
Empty raise your hand a please, when the first into the temple gate, the South Leaf Temple incense is scarce, all because the temple is small, a low lintel, into a pagoda courtyard, the yard is not big, the regulation is very neat, at the moment thick paved with a layer of snow, no one has taken care of it, the empty with the morning and evening under the corridor, said, "The lantern has never been extinguished in the past four years, the donor can rest assured." β
Day and night, he walked forward along the corridor with the help of Shen'er, "With the master here, I am naturally at ease." β
The incense in the courtyard curled, the unique Buddha fragrance couldn't help but make a figure flash in Chaoxi's mind, Chaoxi frowned slightly, a little surprised that he would think of him at this time, settled, Chaoxi threw this idea out of his mind, bypassed the pagoda to the backyard of the Buddhist temple, there was only a Buddhist hall and a row of low rooms in the backyard, and he took Chaoxi to the entrance of the Buddhist hall and paused, and looked at Chaoxi twice and frowned slightly, "The donor is going to return tonight?"
The temple has two rooms, and she can stay here for the day and night, but she shook her head, "After paying homage to my mother, I will go back." β
The empty eyes were slightly dark, as if there was a melancholy color, "The road back to the donor may not be smooth." β
Chaoxi raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips and said, "I know, thank you master, you are the only one in this temple, master go and practice." β
The empty Buddha's hand was straight, and he bent over, "Amitabha, what the donor has deposited here for the poor monk......"
Chaoxi smiled, "It's better to ask the master to keep it on your behalf." β
He nodded, "Okay, the donor is light." β
Turning to leave, Shen'er pushed open the door of the Buddha hall and helped Chaoxi in.
As soon as you enter the Buddha hall, a row of lanterns comes into view, followed by a Buddhist shrine.
Chaoxi opened the pendant's hand, took off the ribbon on his eyes, walked to the treacherous cushion and knelt down, and a pair of eyes fell firmly on the pitch-black tablet.
The spiritual seat of the loving mother Zhuang Ji.
A few simple words, nothing to do with any glory and wealth, she was the princess of the empire, she was the queen of Shu, but her tablet is in this small temple in the mountains, and there are less than 100 ever-bright lamps dedicated to her.
Chaoxi squinted for a moment, and kowtowed three times to the spiritual position.
The pendant behind him handed the incense, took it in the morning and evening, and got up with three pillars of incense, and then turned around and knelt down to recite the scriptures.
The curse of death sends the dead to life, and the living must always live against the wind and frost sword.
After a long time, she opened her eyes in the morning and night, she quietly stared at Zhuang Ji's spiritual position, no one could see the place, her eyes rarely showed two points of relaxation, but it was only for a moment, she suddenly said coldly, "How are things going?"
"The master can rest assured, everything is in the plan, and Luo Shunhua is very attentive. β
"Very well, you guys have worked hard. β
The only thing that attracts attention is her quietness, quiet like a shadow, which can be ignored by everyone, and when she speaks to the morning and evening, the calm and determination does not look like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl at all.
"The subordinates don't dare. β
After a slight pause, Shen'er said, "Master, Xiuniang's matter is not from our hands, you see ......"
Chaoxi narrowed his eyes, "Don't care, she deserves to die, this time it is even more wonderful, from now on, as long as it has no impact on what we want to do, we don't have to be contaminated." β
Shen'er replied again, and then said, "Master, where is Shang Shizi ......?"
Chaoxi frowned, "I still need to think about this matter." β
Shen'er knew that he shouldn't say much, so he immediately shut up.
He closed his eyes, recited another mantra, and when he opened his eyes, he kowtowed three more times and stood up!
"Master, do you want to leave?"
Turning around day and night, a pair of bright eyes seemed to be painted, and Shen'er's eyebrows raised slightly, and then he returned to calm.
Chaoxi looked very satisfied, put the eye-dressing strap into the sleeve, walked to the door, and opened the door quickly, as soon as Chaoxi went out, he saw the plain snow all over the courtyard, the snow particles were falling, and there were clouds on the horizon, it seemed that there was a bigger snowstorm still brewing, and the morning and evening counted the hours, frowning slightly.
Shen'er also looked out, "Master, I'm afraid there is snow, we should have set off earlier, but the right master said, ......"
He said that the road back today was not smooth.
"There are some things that you can't get away with. β
Shen'er looked at Chaoxi suspiciously, but Chaoxi had already walked towards the temple gate first, "Go back before the unitary time." β
Hearing this, Shen'er naturally hurriedly followed, in addition to the gate of the temple, the two of them looked around vigilantly, Nanye Temple was halfway up the mountain, there were many ways down the mountain, and they thought for a while, "The one that goes around the distance goes down the mountain, and the Shangguan Road enters the city." β
They could have taken a shortcut back to Huaiyin, but they chose to take a detour away, obviously to avoid trouble.
When you stay on the official road, it's easy to talk about it.
"Chirp-"
Chaoxi is leaning into the carriage, but suddenly heard a birdsong in her ears, she was in shape, and turned back to see, most of the Nanye Mountain is pine and cypress, although it is also green in winter, plus the plain snow that has been covered, a good green and white winter scene, such a winter day, it is normal to have two birdsongs, Chaoxi squinted, leaned into the carriage!
"Hurry up and get down the mountain. β
As soon as the words fell, Shen'er had already sat on the wheel! The sound of the horsewhip fell on the horse's back, and the carriage suddenly went down the mountain road, the mountain road was not wide, fortunately, their carriage was only a green cloth car, Shen'er seemed to be just an ordinary maid, but the driving skills were extraordinary, although the road was bumpy, but the line was extremely fast!
"Chirp-"
Inside the carriage, I heard the birdsong again!
Opened the curtain and looked out, only to see the gray bird that had been small in size flying in the forest, staring at the bird day and night, and after the carriage had moved forward twenty feet, the bird was still following the carriage closely, and the heart jumped in the morning, terrible!
"Fall, go another way!"
"Yes!"
At this moment, the two have gone deep into the forest, the snow buries the road, the speed of the carriage can no longer be raised, all around are towering pine and cypress canopies, covering the sky and the sun will shroud the forest in the dark and gloomy, the carriage changed the way, but the birds and birds that followed are still following, the morning and evening eyes are sharp, pick up the paper umbrella in the corner of the carriage, break the bamboo strips, raise your hand and shoot towards the outside of the carriage!
The birdsong suddenly stopped, and the morning and evening voices were cold.
"Go fast!"
The whip fell on the horse's back, the horse neighed, the body became more and more bumpy, and what was even worse was that the broken birdsong sounded again!
"Master, what should we do?"
As soon as Shen'er's words fell, there was a sudden sound of movement in the forest, and the sound came from the left side of their journey, and it was approaching them very quickly.
Chaoxi sneered in the carriage, "Turn around and go to the top of the mountain!"
The horse reined in suddenly, raised his hand to pull the horse's head, neighing, the horse immediately turned around, the whip fell sharply, and the horse suddenly galloped in the opposite direction, but the carriage had to go up along the mountain, and there was snow on the mountain road, and it didn't take long for the carriage to slow down, and at the same time, the movement in the mountains and forests behind was getting bigger and bigger.
"Master, you go first! your subordinates lead them away!"
Shen'er's voice was calm, and he didn't see any panic.
There was a laugh in the carriage, "Drive the car to the cliff!"
Shen'er hesitated for a moment, and had to drop the whip silently.
The horses galloped vigorously, and the movement behind them was getting closer and closer, as if they had discovered their intention to go to the top of the mountain, but the people behind were not in a hurry, and they surrounded them in an orderly manner.
Shen'er didn't dare to slow down the horse's speed, the mountain road became narrower and narrower, and after a while, the end of the cliff was faintly visible, and Shen'er was about to slow down, but the carriage said, "Speed up!"
Shen'er was stunned, but he didn't dare to disobey, the horsewhip was raised high, and he was whipped on the horse's back without dying!
Twenty zhang, ten zhang, five zhang, one zhang......
The fierce horse neighed, and the galloping green cloth carriage shot out like an arrow from the string, but it fell suddenly at the moment when the horse's hooves stepped into the air, and the mountain stream under the cliff was bottomless, and a layer of hazy mist floated in the air, and in a blink of an eye, the carriage and people were gone!
"My lord! The carriage has fallen!"
The black-clothed people who came up from behind gathered very quickly, these people wore black scarves on all faces, held three-foot long swords in their hands, and the cold smell of blood could not be stopped, the leader swept the cliff and the towering trees behind him with sharp eyes, and sneered, "There is no way to live under the mountain stream, but not necessarily in this mountain forest, search for me!"
"Yes!"
Dozens of voices responded in unison, and as soon as they turned around, they disappeared into the mountains and forests.
The leader stood on the cliff for a moment, and then turned and went into the Hessian forest.
Everyone walked away, and the pendant under the cliff was being held tightly in his hand day and night.
The main body of the cliff is a protruding boulder, and the morning and evening people hide in a recess under the boulder, and the recess is also a rock wall, and there is no place to put her feet, she climbs a raised mountain wall in one hand, and holds the wrist of the pendant in the other, as soon as she lets go, the pendant will fall like a carriage that has disappeared its shadow.
Seeing that Shen'er's face was a little pale, she raised her eyebrows, "Scared?"
Anyone in such a high place would be afraid, not to mention that the life and death of Shen'er is not in her own hands, she can't forget the nervous excitement when she has fallen with the carriage but is pulled back by the morning and night, pursed her lips, she stubbornly shook her head.
Chaoxi narrowed his eyes and listened to the movement in the forest above.
"Master, there are too many of them, they won't leave for a moment, the two of us are not opponents, you can't last long now, it's better for your subordinates to go up and lure them away, you go later!"
He was silent, frowning as if he had suddenly heard something.
The number of people who came was nearly hundred, and they were full of murderous aura, they must all be top masters, Shen'er knew that it would be a death to go up to lead away the pursuers, but she still built it like this, just because if the stalemate continued, either the two of them fell at the same time, or they were found at the same time, and it was better to die one than to die two, but she didn't dare to say more.
Chaoxi was still listening to something, but climbing the rock wall with one hand and pulling the pendant with the other had already made her sweat on her forehead!
The matter has come to this, Shen'er clenched his teeth, "Master, do you want to send a signal to ask for ......"
"You don't have toβ"
The day and night denied very quickly, the pendant was looking up suspiciously, but suddenly felt that he was holding his hand and suddenly exerted a force, the pendant exclaimed in his throat, only to feel that his body was thrown and flew up, she lifted her breath, and a leap from under the cliff to the cliff, she thought that the day and night had changed her mind to let her lead away the siege, and turned around, but saw that the morning and evening also jumped up from under the cliff generously, she was stunned, "Master, they are around!"
Their movements are not small, and the killer who has not yet left has noticed that he is attacking the two of them!
Shen'er frowned, and his hand had already touched the dagger on his waist!
Turning his head, the day and night were not shocked and calm!
Sensing that the murderous aura was heavier than he imagined, Shen'er couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Master, we really don't ask for help?"
Standing awe-inspiringly, he smiled when he heard this, "Why do you ask for help?"
She raised her chin and motioned to the forest, "Didn't the person who saved us come......
