There is a Celestial Pagoda in the Celestial Temple, which is said to have existed since the time of the Wisteria Windmill Kingdom. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this temple was also called the other side of the temple, the first master of the other side of the temple, but also a great Zen master with profound Buddhist knowledge. It is said that when he meditates and recites sutras, mosquitoes are attracted by the sutras he recites, so they forget to suck blood and satisfy hunger.

After the death of the master on the other side, his relics were put into a box ** and enshrined on the top floor of this ancient pagoda. Later generations called him "the living Buddha on the other side", and came to worship and make a wish every year on the day of his death. Legend has it that if a person who makes a wish sincerely bows in front of the Celestial Empire Tower for 100 days, any wish will be granted. Whether it is true or not, only those who have bowed to it know for themselves, but this does not affect the popularity of the Temple in the slightest.

Chen Nujiao has been coming to bow for 99 consecutive days, and today is the last day. Her wish is naturally to be able to conceive a child as soon as possible and give birth to a white and chubby son for her husband, so that the Huo family can import and continue the incense. She herself was originally a folk girl, and her parents were both farmers, so being able to be favored by the son of the founding general's family can be regarded as good luck. It's just that now the two have been married for almost two years, and she has no signs of pregnancy, which is really unreasonable. If it's okay in the countryside, at most it will be talked about by the neighbors, and the time will pass after a long time. But now that she is the master of the Shenhou Mansion and the wife of the Shenli Hou, with such an identity, she will inevitably become the object of discussion from the outside world. She has always been troubled by this, although her husband doesn't care about the eyes of others, but she always feels sorry for him. As a daughter, she also has a desperate desire to become a mother. Whenever she saw children playing in the streets, her heart became even more unbearable. In any case, the troubles of the past will eventually pass, and now she only hopes that the living Buddha on the other side can bless herself, and when she has a fetus smoothly, she can be regarded as having an explanation to her husband and the Huo family.

The flow of people visiting the temple is like a high tide of the sea, and most of the people will gather in the front hall, where there is a huge incense burner for hundreds of people to incense at the same time, and there will be monks in the temple taking turns chanting scriptures. Pilgrims with a little status will spend some money to drink tea in the private room and listen to the old monks in the temple explain Buddhism. When it comes to a noble figure like Chen Nujiao, there will be a special worship room for her to use.

It is said to be a worship room, but it is not a large space. In addition to a human-sized Buddha statue, there are only tables, incense burners, and futons for kneeling. Chen Nujiao walked to the Buddha statue accompanied by a maidservant, she was wearing a snow-white dress, with a gorgeous pattern of plum branches blooming on her back, and a wide floor-length skirt at the hem, with her delicate face, as if she was a goddess stepping on ice and snow.

Before kneeling, the maidservant maid first brings the water soaked in flower petals to clean the hands, and then the monks in the temple recite the scriptures. Chen Nujiao stepped forward in person, brewed the fragrant tea she brought, and poured it into the teacup placed on the table. There is also the liquor brewed by the most famous winery in the imperial capital, which is poured into the wine glass on the table. The maidservants served all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetarian food, and Chen Nujiao took the lit incense stick and inserted it into the incense burner, and then took a few steps back and knelt down in front of the futon.

At this time, all the monks and maidservants withdrew from the worship room, leaving only Chen Nujiao. Her slender jade hands were folded in front of her chest, she looked up at the Buddha statue, and muttered: "Ask the Buddha to bless me, the believer Chen Yujiao only wants to give birth to a son for her husband, if she can get her wish, she will definitely rebuild the temple in the future and devote herself to the Buddha." After saying that, he respectfully bowed his head three times.

After the worship ceremony, it was already past lunch time, Chen Nujiao did not plan to eat in the temple, so she walked out of the inner courtyard to the front hall accompanied by the maidservant. After the statues of each Buddhist room have been worshipped, they are worshiped with the people under the Celestial Empire Tower, which is the whole process of completing the hundredth worship.

On the way home, Chen Nujiao and the maidservants sat in the back seat of the royal car in the same row and chatted.

"Madame is so devout to ask for the Buddha, she will definitely be happy as soon as possible."

"I hope that this time the Buddha can really manifest his spirit, and bless my husband and I to have a noble son as soon as possible, so that I can feel at ease."

"Don't worry! Madame has always been a body of good luck, and marrying her master is the best proof of this. We are also blessed with our wives. ”

Chen Nujiao said with a sneer: "Your little mouth is the sweetest, as if it has been smeared with honey." ”

Just as the two were laughing, the body of the car shook violently. The two of them leaned forward under their bodies, and Chen Nujiao almost hit her head on the back of the car.

The two raised their heads and were about to ask the driver who was driving, but they saw a man in purple clothes and black boots standing in front of the royal car, which was the soul martial Yang purple scorpion.

"What do you say?! How could the lady be robbed? What the hell is going on? ”

In the Shenhou Mansion, Huo Yunqi was upset after hearing the news reported by the servants.

Huo Wuxian on the side said: "Second brother, you have always been kind to people, and you don't even have an enemy, how can anyone have trouble with you?" If you want me to say that this is the picture of wealth. ”

Huo Yunqi looked at him and said, "I'm just afraid that your sister-in-law won't be frightened." She's timid and weak, so if there's a bad ......"

When the two of them were at a loss, a domestic servant walked into the house, handed a white envelope to Huo Yunqi and said, "Master, someone left a letter outside the gate just now. ”

Huo Yunqi opened the envelope, and there was only a thin piece of white paper inside, on which a few strokes were written, "I want my wife to be safe, prepare 100,000 golden soul stones, and take your younger brother Huo Wuxian to Macun fifty miles outside the West City Gate." If you dare to bring one more person, your wife's life will not be guaranteed. ”

"What is written?" Huo Wuxian asked curiously.

"It should be a group of thieves, they want 100,000 gold soul stones, and they want you to go with me."

Huo Wuxian frowned, "One hundred thousand golden soul stones can be understood, but they pointed out that they wanted me to go with you, what does this mean?" ”

Huo Yunqi pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "This group of people may be your enemies!" They arrested your sister-in-law with the aim of luring you out. ”

"Damn, bastards! If there is something that doesn't come to me personally, I actually started my sister-in-law's idea. ”

"Don't be impatient, think about who you've offended lately, maybe the kidnappers are among them."

Huo Wuxian thought for a while, looked up at Huo Yunqi and said, "I haven't made a grudge against anyone recently, but I just beat Ban Yi." Yes! Could it be that Ban Yi's kid is looking for revenge? ”

"Well, I think it's possible. If so, it's a bit of a trick. ”

"What's so difficult about this, I'll go with my brother, and if it's really that Ban Yi, I'll beat him again, until he's all over the ground looking for teeth."

"Third brother, don't be impulsive again! He is the son of the Prime Minister, and if you beat him, you are hitting the Prime Minister in the face. With me here this time, I can't say anything that will make you do anything. ”

Ma Village, fifty miles outside the west gate of the city, is now a deserted village, and the only people who can come here are those homeless homeless. Yang Zisheng and Yang Zizhu took Chen Nujiao to a dilapidated house with a courtyard, where Ban Yi and the others had been waiting for a long time.

"You've worked hard." Ah Fu stepped forward and handed over the prepared remuneration to the two, and Ah Pan and others took Chen Nujiao to the house to take care of her.

Since the first time he saw Chen Nujiao, Ban Yi was deeply fascinated. His eyes never left that delicate face for a moment, especially Chen Nujiao's slightly ruddy skin because of timidity, which stirred up the fire of desire in his heart.

"You all get out!" Ban Yichong's entourage behind him waved his hand.

Ah Fu saw his thoughts, and hurriedly came to him and persuaded: "Banye, don't do it!" This is the lady of God's power. Besides, we can't show up about this, if we don't leave now, we will collide with Huo Wuxian for a while, and we will be in trouble. You ......" Before he could finish speaking, he saw Ban Yi turn around and slap him in the face, scolding: "Bastard thing!" Teach me a lesson with you? Get out of here! ”

As the saying goes, "Beauty is currently in turmoil, and she wants to live." He knows that all evil and fornication are the first, but he throws the truth behind. The jade skin is majestic, and the peony flowers are really romantic. Unexpectedly, the people will also die, and they know that the red powder is a skeleton. ”

Besides, outside the mansion, in addition to Yang Zizi's brothers and sisters, there were also Ah Fu and Ah Pan's entourage, all of whom were waiting for Huo Wuxian to come to the door, and they were also hiding daggers and short sticks and other utensils. In the middle of the courtyard was a sycamore tree, and Yang Zi Scorpion was leaning against the trunk of the tree, while his sister Yang Zi Zhu stood with her back against the courtyard wall, staring at the ant colony busy among the bricks and stones.

In less than half a stick of incense, Huo Yunqi and Huo Wuxian appeared at the gate of the courtyard. Half of the front door of the house was missing, and the only remaining half was scratched. Huo Yunqi was carrying a silver-headed black spear in his left hand, a box full of golden soul stones in his right hand, and Huo Wuxian who was following him was also carrying two. The two walked into the courtyard quickly, Huo Yunqi stared at Yang Zi Scorpion and said, "The 100,000 Golden Soul Stones you want are too much, my three boxes can only hold 10,000, and I will send a servant to send the rest, and let my wife go quickly." ”

Yang Ziscorpion was silent and didn't answer, and Ah Fu on the side came out of the crowd and said, "I said that I wanted 100,000 golden soul stones, but you only brought 10,000 and wanted people, and there was no door!" ”

Huo Wuxian threw the two heavy boxes to the ground, pointed at Ah Fu and shouted, "I knew that it was Ban Yi, this bastard, who did it, you call him out for me, I want to talk to him face to face." ”

As soon as Ah Fu saw that Huo Wuxian recognized him, he didn't care about that much, and opened his mouth to say, "Huo Wujian!" You injured our master before, and today you don't want to leave here intact. To tell you the truth, the lady is in the house, and if you have the ability, you will go in and get the people. ”

Before Ah Fu's words fell, Huo Yunqi had already picked up the spear and went straight to the door of the house, the eyes of the Yang Zi Scorpion under the tree lit up, and the next moment his figure was already in front of Huo Yunqi.

The head of the spear that glowed with silver light flew in the air, and it was only a millimeter away from piercing the head of the Yang Zi Scorpion. However, Yang Zi Scorpion's face did not change, and the soul pattern ability was instantly released, and a pair of two knives with long forearms immediately appeared in his palm.

A blue-blue lightning flashed, and it shook back the spear that was close at hand, and even swept a misty thundercloud back towards Huo Yunqi's body.
