One hundred and twenty-nine, Ruolan Temple
A few people climbed the stairs and climbed for a long time to reach the gate of the temple, Xiao Bao'er was calm, Feng Yi and Su Su were sweating profusely. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Feng Lele was hugged by a monkey, and she was the most lively, and she wanted to go to the temple when she got off the ground. Feng Yi grabbed her, took out a hat from his arms and covered her hair tightly, and told her to talk about her boy.
"Father, why do we deceive people?"
"Lele is good, women are not allowed to stay in the temple."
Feng Lele stretched out his hand and pointed at Su Su, his eyes full of distrust.
Feng Yi explained, "Miss Susu is a woman, she has a husband, and she is different from you. ”
As he was talking, the monks in the temple took the initiative to inquire, and when they saw that there were patches on their clothes, everyone had a certain understanding of the hardships in the temple. Knowing that they were coming to stay overnight, the monk's expression was a little hesitant.
Feng Yi's iron heart wants to live here, he pointed to the statue of Buddha Veda at the entrance of the temple and said: "In the temple, the support hands are folded, and the pestle is rested between the elbows, which can be seen that Ruolan Temple is a reception temple, and our father and son only need a firewood room." ”
The monk asked, "I wonder how long the donor will stay?" ”
Feng Yi said again: "The child is frail and sick, we need to stay here for dozens of days," he said, taking out a string of money and stuffing it into the monk's hand, "This is the incense money we donated, please make it convenient." ”
The monk folded his hands and agreed to Feng Yi's request to move in. Turning his head and asking Xiao Bao'er and his party, "Who are these donors?" ”
Susu said: "We also need accommodation, and we will go to Amman City to perform in three to five days. ”
The monk thought for a few seconds and then asked, "I wonder where the two donors come from?" ”
Su Su took out the forged certificate and handed it to the monk, "I am from Dadu, my husband is from Northern Liao, and we have been performing ......in Daxia for many years."
The monk did not receive the certificate, but said: "After entering the temple, please abide by the rules of the temple, if the female benefactor has nothing important, she can only stay in the guest room, and do not walk around in the place where the monks gather." ”
On the first day of entering the temple, the temple provides free meals, multigrain vegetable porridge, and homemade braised bean curd by monks.
Xiao Bao'er hid in the room and secretly gnawed on the jerky, Su Su couldn't stand this kind of behavior, and couldn't help but say, "Xiaoxiao, this is a pure place for Buddhism, but you can't help it for a few days?" ”
"There are many people who worship Buddha and worship ghosts, especially Bai Songmei's old witch, which makes me uncomfortable when I see Su Zhai." Speaking of this, Su Su lost the idea of accosting, did his job well, and lay down silently to feel his feelings.
The next day, Xiao Bao'er planned to say goodbye to Feng's widow, but she didn't have time to stay here with her for a little and a half months.
Su Su searched for a long time and didn't see anyone, but at noon, he saw the monkey and Feng Lele crying and running.
Feng Lele cried so hard that he couldn't tell what was going on. The monkey whispered to Xiao Bao'er, Feng Yi ran to the back mountain early in the morning, and somehow fell off the cliff from the mountain. The person is still alive, and the monkey is inconvenient to rescue, so Xiao Baoer can only find a way.
What else is there to think about, Xiao Baoer exposed her martial arts and risked her life to save people.
Su Su had an extra heart and asked the monkey to keep watch on the side, and it was best not to let the monks in the temple know about this matter.
Feng Yi's leg was broken, his spirit was not bad, he was a little surprised by the fact that Xiao Bao'er knew martial arts, and he was still able to maintain his composure. When a few people returned to the room, Feng Yi asked the monkey to accompany Feng Lele to play, and knelt in front of Xiao Bao'er and Su Su in pain, hoping that they would not go into the city to ask for a doctor.
This behavior made Su Su very strange, and he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
Feng Yi said that he knew medical skills, and he could command Xiao Bao'er to help pick up the broken leg, and it was really unnecessary to go to the city to ask for a doctor.
Xiao Baoer is the most annoying to the Central Plains, knowing that they are lying to each other, but no one takes the initiative to tell the truth. She said angrily that she was going to leave today, and she didn't have time to help Feng Yi heal his injuries and let him fend for himself.
Feng Yi was stunned for a while, and wanted to tell the truth several times, but he held back after a long time.
Xiao Bao'er just shook her hands and left, anyway, it was just a broken leg, and people couldn't die. Su Su couldn't stand it, and hurriedly asked Feng Yi how to pick up the broken leg, she could help.
Feng Yi felt that Su Su was a woman, and he didn't dare to bother her to help, so he asked her to go to the temple and call the monks over.
Su Su was also annoyed, and bluntly said that the temple was haunted, and Feng Yi would rather believe in the monks than believe in them? As he spoke, he also took out the rope that Feng Yi tied to his body, pointed to the broken place and told Feng Yi that the rope was obviously cut and someone wanted to harm him.
Feng Yi was silent for a long time, and asked Su Su to call Xiao Bao'er in, and honestly explained his true identity. I thought they would have surprised expressions, but unexpectedly, both of them were very calm, Feng Yi looked at them carefully again, and sighed that he was stupid in his studies, and he didn't know it when he met a master.
Now that the words have been spoken, it is important to treat the injury, and Xiao Baoer began to help him with his bones according to Feng Yi's request. Before this, Feng Yi asked Su Su to find a few unknown herbs from the basket and chew them in his mouth, saying that it could numb the nerves and not hurt much for a while.
Xiao Bao'er shouted out when he was in pain, don't hold it back, if your leg is broken, you have to reconnect your bones, how can you hold it.
Feng Yi shook his head, saying that he was afraid that Feng Lele would worry, the child was pitiful enough to have no mother, and if his father was sick, the child would definitely feel that the sky was falling.
Hearing this, Xiao Baoer suddenly burst into tears. The king of Northern Liao died, and she was sadder than anyone else. She hadn't shown it before, and it was rhino incense's prophecy that gave her psychological hints and a buffer time to face death.
Feng Yi's care for Feng Lele happened to poke her hidden pain, and after holding it for a long time, her sadness poured out unscrupulously.
Xiao Bao'er's cry frightened Feng Yi, men and women could not kiss, but they never thought that Xiaoxiao, who had been in contact for a few days, was actually dressed as a woman. He pointed at Xiao Bao'er and wanted to say something, but he didn't come up with his breath, and he fainted!
When he wakes up again, everyone is fine, and the key is to heal his leg first.
Su Su instructed the monkey to take care of Feng Lele's medicine, and she made a bowl of white porridge in the small kitchen next to the guest room. Xiao Bao'er loses her temper when she is hungry, she understands this, no matter what, let Xiao Bao'er eat first.
Seeing that it was white porridge, Xiao Baoer subconsciously didn't start. She could only say something to appease and say, "Ming'er will make you a vegan Buddha jumping over the wall." ”
"You still make vegetarian food?"
Su Su laughed dryly, thinking that he could become Xuanze's concubine, he deliberately learned a few vegetarian dishes to please Bai Songmei, but in the end he cheapened Xiao Bao'er. She said: "I have learned, if you don't do it, you should be able to enter." ”
"Okay, Ming'er will eat this again, I'm afraid I can't help it......" Before he finished speaking, the candle in the room suddenly went out. Xiao Bao'er looked around vigilantly, only to see a few green fires floating outside the window.
In the suddenly darkened environment, the green firelight was unusually bright, Su Su could see it clearly, and shouted "Ghost ......" As soon as she opened her mouth, the green fire outside the window floated towards her. Frightened, she closed her mouth and watched motionless as a few bits of ghost fire slowly disappeared into the night.
Xiao Bao'er followed the ghost fire to the outside of the courtyard, and soon found that there was a person hiding in the corner of the courtyard, who was pulling something with a transparent fishing line. Looking in the man's direction, a white sheet wrapped in a human figure slowly floated through the window in front of their room in the night sky.
Pretending to be a ghost, she sneered disdainfully, picked a leaf and cut the fishing line, only to see the human-shaped sheets floating in the air fall to the ground without waiting for Su Su to pass by their window.
The person hiding in the shadows was frightened by this accident, and he ran to the courtyard in a trembling manner, picked up the sheets and ran, his clumsy appearance amused Xiao Bao'er. Seeing him run to the courtyard next door, Xiao Bao'er frowned slightly, that is also the guest room of the temple, what kind of guest would come to someone else's territory to make trouble?
In the room, Susu re-lit a candle. said angrily, "Who is so lacking in virtue and pretending to be scary, it really scared me before." Look at this candle, the center of the candle has been drawn for a while, how can the candle not be extinguished without the candle? ”
Feng Yicai recovered from the great pain, and said weakly, "When I was a child, I used to stay next to the grave for some time in order to take refuge, and I could see the ghost fire from before every hot season. At that time, I was very afraid, and in addition to the green ghost fire, I also saw blue and red. ”
"The nearby villagers called the ghost fire the ghost lantern. Green means that there are ghosts passing through, and you must hold your breath at this time, otherwise it will attract ghosts; Red refers to the ghost king marrying, the man must close his eyes when he sees it, and the woman will die soon when he sees it; The blue color means that the person who saw the ghost fire angered the ghost, and the next day he had to bring tribute to the grave to apologize, otherwise he would be taken away by the ghost in a few days. ”
"The villagers are telling me what they say, but I don't believe it. There are ancestors in the family who read a lot and explain the existence of ghost fire with scientific principles. Ghost fire, in fact, is phosphorus fire, which is a very common natural phenomenon. When a human corpse is buried in the soil, it will gradually decompose, because human bones contain phosphorus, which has a very low ignition point, and will burn when it comes into contact with air at room temperature. ”
"Phosphorus fire is very light, and if there is wind or people to move the air, the phosphorus fire will also drift with the air. The candles went out, we were all startled, no one spoke, and the air in the room was still. Su Su opened his mouth, and with the air current, the phosphorus fire floated towards Su Su with the air current. If you encounter a ghost fire chasing someone in the wild, don't be afraid, it's just that the air flow of walking drives the phosphorus fire. ”
Feng Yi's explanation made Su Su breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked: "This is not a tomb mountain, there is no corpse, where is the phosphorus fire?" ”
Feng Yi shook his head.
Xiao Baoer told the two of them what she saw in the courtyard.
Hearing that someone was deliberately pretending to be a ghost, Su Su wondered and said to himself: Why is this? Is there something unsightly in this temple that should be hidden from others?
Xiao Bao'er looked at Feng Yi without speaking, as if waiting for an explanation.
Feng Yi said blankly, "All my knowledge about this temple comes from books, and I don't know anything in the temple that is not visible. ”
Su Su asked, "What are you doing in the back mountain?" We didn't see a ghost last night, until you went to the back mountain, and first the rope was cut, and then you saw a ghost. ”
Feng Yi shouted that he was wronged, and he wanted to take a shortcut directly from the back mountain to the territory of Wuguo. Today I went to investigate the terrain, and I tied a rope around my waist for safety, and the rope broke not long after I went down, and he didn't know what was going on.
Xiao Bao'er believed that Feng Yi was not lying, and without waiting for Su Su to continue to ask questions, she took the initiative to say, "I'll go to the courtyard next door to find out the situation, who wants to drive us away." ”
Xiao Bao'er left, and only Su Su and Feng Yi were left in the room.
Su Su is not as good as Xiao Bao'er, she asked Feng Yi, "Why don't you go from Amman to Ukraine, and would rather take the risk of falling off a cliff and take the mountain road?" Why do you want Lele to pretend to be a boy, maybe all those rumors about the Qi Lord are true, right? ”
Feng Yi asked rhetorically: "What rumors?" ”
Su Su said: "It is rumored that King Qi has a favorite concubine who likes children very much, and it is easy to have his own child but accidentally miscarried. From that day on, she often sent her subordinates to the street to catch lonely children, and hid these children in her own dormitory to raise, and the people hated her and had no way to take her, and privately called her the mother of nine sons and ghosts. ”
Feng Yi said: "Gu Pan Po, also known as the Nine Sons Ghost Mother, gave birth to five hundred sons, and is addicted to eating the flesh and blood of babies in the world. One of the sons was taken away by the Buddha with his magical powers, and the ghost mother cried out to the heavens and the earth, wailing and beating her heart, crying bitterly as if she was mad. Finally, I saw that the Buddha's whole body was shining, and he was now a loving father, holding the youngest son in his hand, so he knelt on the ground and prayed for return. ”
He sneered and continued: "The Buddhist scriptures are still just a story when they arrived in Qidi, and you must not believe it. Qi is a good young girl, and there is a Shouxian Palace specially built in Amman City, which is his place of lewd pleasure. ”
Su Su glared at Feng Yi in shock, there is still such a thing in Qidi, why haven't you heard Gongzi say it? What Qingshan Jun didn't know, why did Feng Yi know?
Feng Yi could probably guess what Su Su was thinking, and sighed, "The young girl will eventually grow up, how can it be bad if she is taught by Lord Qi himself?" Most of the magnates in the capital have received gifts from the lord of Qi, and they are called the fairies of the Shouxian Palace. This group of people only enjoy, who cares that the 'fairy' also has parents, and they were ruined by the Qi lord if they were not sensible, and they were finally trained to be a tool for pleasure. ”
Su Su still didn't believe it, the palace was a distribution center for aristocratic gossip, and this kind of thing couldn't be without any rumors.
Regarding Qi Di, she has only heard the statement of the Nine Sons Ghost Mother, but she has never heard of the Shouxian Palace? Besides, it's not a day or two that Lord Qi does this, and the people of Qi always resist, right? Officials can always hear the wind, right? This is the weakness of the Qi master, so no one will take advantage of it?
She told all the questions in her mind.
Feng Yi's answer is very simple, everyone knows about this, no one knows it, even a newcomer in officialdom like him who has just gained fame knows it. Su Su didn't know that there were only two reasons, one was that she was a woman, and no one would mention such a messy thing to her. Second, the people around her didn't think she needed to know.
This statement is obviously correct, Su Su's source of information is Xuan Ze, and there is really no need to tell her about pickled things like this.
As for why the people of Qidi did not resist and why the officials did not report, there are too many reasons.
Girls are not worth much, and many families are eager to sell their daughters to Shouxian Palace to become fairies.
There are also children who have been abducted, and the family report to the official alarmed the owner. If the girl is indeed in Shouxian Palace, the Lord of Qi advocates freedom to come and go, it depends on whether the girl who is used to brocade clothes and jade food is still willing to go home with her parents.
Especially the kind of girls with average qualifications, as long as they come to the moon, the lord will let them go home and marry.
