Chapter 220: Risking Your Life
Jiang Li felt more and more weak at this time, his face was even redder than even rouge, and he felt a little out of breath when he spoke, and he was top-heavy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThat's it.,Do you want her to go to the Kannon Temple alone? "May I ask the old man, where is the Guanyin Nunnery?"
The old farmer took his hoe and was about to turn around, when he heard the words, he turned around and pointed to the left, "This road in front of you is going further." ”
Xiaoxiang got into the car, and Sixi continued to drive forward. Walking less than half a mile, there is a small hill in front of you, and a temple with blue tiles and red walls faintly appears on the mountain.
"What to do? It is definitely not possible to let the girl go up the mountain alone! Xiao Xiang looked at Sixi and then at Qiu Da.
"No, no. How can she be allowed to go into danger alone. What's more, she's afraid she's poisoned now. Qiu Da glanced at Jiang Li's face, and asked Jiang Li to stretch out his hand to probe the pulse.
Sixi looked at Jiang Li and scratched his head, turned his head and asked Qiu Da, "What should I do then?" It's going to get dark soon, so we'd better get things done and leave early. The terrain here is complicated, and it is even more unfavorable for us when it gets dark. ”
Qiu Da withdrew his hand, groaned slightly, and took out a small gourd. Pull out the stopper on the gourd, and a refreshing fragrance wafts out for a long time.
Qiu Da handed the small gourd to Jiang Li. "You can hold this, the unique fragrance in it can help you increase some stamina, and it can also allow us to follow this fragrance to find you later. You go up with Xiaoxiang first, and Sixi goes up the mountain from the other side. Xiao Yu is coming here with someone, and I have to sum it up with him. ”
Jiang Li got out of the car with the brocade box, Xiaoxiang reached out to help him, took the brocade box from Jiang Li's hand, and helped Jiang Li to walk up the mountain. After taking a few steps, I heard Qiu Da say behind him: "Miss Jiang, don't worry, my fifth brother will never let you have an accident." ”
Jiang Li waved his hand, and without looking back, he helped Xiaoxiang to look at the mountain and walk.
Along the way, he gritted his teeth hatefully and said: "If I catch that masked villain later, I don't want Xiaoxiang to do it, I will beat that bastard half to death with my own hands!" ”
She had never suffered such a big loss in her two lives - not to mention being fed poison, taking a shower that day, and not knowing if she was seen by others. Thinking of this, Jiang Li helped Xiaoxiang to climb up the stone steps up the mountain step by step, humming and panting.
The mountain is not high, and the stone steps are not very long, but Jiang Li gradually felt weak, and walked much slower than usual. Xiaoxiang helped her from time to time, and finally walked to the door of the hermitage on the Biwa Zhu Wall, and the sun began to set in the west.
Standing at the gate of the nunnery and looking condescendingly, under the afterglow of the setting sun, you can vaguely see the fork in the Wulizhuang that you passed when you came, as well as the sea of flowers. The road is full of greenery, the mountain breeze is blowing, and although the scenery is beautiful, the surrounding is terrifyingly quiet.
The carriage parked at the foot of the hill was still parked in its place. Jiang Li remembered the words of Qiu Da before going up the mountain, and then looked at the brocade box in Xiao Xiang's hand, and his mind settled down a little. So he walked to the nunnery with Xiaoxiang.
On the wooden plaque of the door of the log hermitage, the handwriting of the three characters of Guanyin Nunnery is a little mottled, and the door bolt has fallen off. The green bricks at the door paved the floor, and green moss grew on the bricks, and green grass emerged from the cracks in the stones. It looks like no one has lived in this nunnery for a long time. But if you look closely, you can see a few faint footprints on the moss.
Jiang Xiang stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door, and the eyes of the two lit up. There are two halls in the nunnery for the statue of Goddess of Mercy, and a row of side rooms on both sides is actually a delicate courtyard.
There are bright and beautiful landscapes in the courtyard, three steps of floating water bridge give birth to lotus, half-lying willow trees at the water's edge, and a corner of the courtyard is planted against the wall with several clusters of Xiangfei bamboo. Build a corner pavilion next to the bamboo bush, and plant the plum tree next to the pavilion. The courtyard is paved with a large bluestone, the grass and moss squeeze the green soil cracks, and the dead leaves fall all over the courtyard.
"With such a delicate Guanyin Nunnery, why is there no one living there?" As soon as Jiang Li said this, Xiao Xiang saw that her body was crooked, as if she couldn't even stand steadily.
Xiao Xiang was shocked and helped Jiang Li. Seeing that her face was burning like a fire, and even her eyes began to turn a little red. When I held my hand, even her body was terrifyingly hot.
Xiaoxiang was a little panicked: "Master, what's wrong with you, is this poisonous?" What to do, why hasn't the man come yet! ”
"Humph!!" A sneer burst out suddenly.
Jiang Li and Xiao Xiang glanced at each other, Jiang Li picked up the gourd that Qiu Da gave her and smelled it, the refreshing fragrance in the gourd made her wake up, and she squeezed her eyes at Xiao Xiang. Xiao Xiang will be relieved for the time being.
The sun was setting little by little, and the light in the courtyard began to dim, Jiang Li and Xiaoxiang glanced at each other, and there was some surprise in their eyes.
The voice finally sounded again: "Is it poisoned?" Do you know it's amazing? I asked you to go up the mountain alone to get the antidote, why did you bring someone here? It was a deep man's voice.
Jiang Li seemed to be hot when she was roasting on the coals at this time, her heart was beating suddenly, and she was holding the gourd in her palm, and the faint fragrance in the gourd made her still clear. Even so, I was so dizzy that I couldn't lift my spirit to speak except for a few words secretly scolding in my heart.
Xiao Xiang held Jiang Li with one hand, her eyes rolled around, and she soon found that the sound came from the main hall. Xiao Xiang's footsteps moved slightly, and her body was about to move, and the voice spoke again: "I know that you are a very powerful girl, but I only have one antidote." If you don't obey me and annoy me, I'll leave. ”
The terrain here is high, and the forests are many and the terrain is complex. As soon as their carriage arrived just now, the man in black must have been ready. If he really left like this, even if Xiao Yu and the others had arrived, they might not be able to catch him. So he pinched a handful of small incense and signaled her not to act rashly.
Xiao Xiang lowered her head and supported Jiang Li, looking obedient and obedient.
The deep male voice said, "Okay." Now ask Miss Jiang to bring the brocade to the main hall by herself. I've seen the picture, as long as it's true, I'll give you the antidote! ”
Jiang Li and Xiao Xiang glanced at each other. At this time, even Jiang Li could clearly hear that the man's voice was coming from the main hall. Jiang Li frowned slightly, and whispered to Xiao Xiang: "This voice, how does it feel that it is not the man in black that night?" ”
"Maybe it's a helper he hired?" Xiao Xiang also whispered.
"What else is there to discuss! Do you want an antidote? The man's voice broke off, showing a little impatience: "I'll say it again, Miss Jiang sent me the brocade picture alone, and your girl stood in the courtyard and didn't move." ”
"However, my master was poisoned at this time, and she couldn't even stand steadily, how could she walk into the main hall alone?" Xiao Xiang looked into the hall with her eyes and said.
"I don't care about this, she wants an antidote, even if she climbs, she has to climb in alone." The deep male voice laughed.
Jiang Li was so angry that he secretly gritted his teeth.
