Chapter 25: Conflict in the Woods
The resolution is certain, Liang Cheng finally noticed the Bodhisattva on the altar, only to see her graceful posture, dignified and serene face, fluttering in the wind, Yingluo complex, two feet slightly open in the figure of "eight", the right hand knot fearless, the left hand around a finger sucking baby boy, the limbs are round like lotus roots, the smile is innocent, vivid, and unprovoked.
"Lifelike, ingenious, worthy of a miracle." Just when Liang Cheng was amazed, Yi Nian silently paced to the side of the offering table, and the incense table was placed in front of the offering table, and a small incense plate of rosewood was placed on the table, and an incense burner and two incense boxes were placed on it, which were generally used to hold sandalwood and incense.
Yi Nian suddenly let out a suspicious "Huh", stretched out his index finger to brush the remaining ashes on the base of the incense burner, and placed it under his nose, and his face changed sharply in a moment.
Liang Cheng sensed that a recitation was wrong, and asked lightly, "What's the matter, senior brother?" โ
Yi Nian took out a handkerchief, wiped the dust from his fingertips, and said, "It's not convenient to say here, let's go back first." โ
Liang Cheng naturally had no objections, and the two returned to the guest house unconsciously, and after making sure that the partition wall had no ears, he said: "The incense burner on the altar of the Baozi Bodhisattva is drunk Qing'e, a kind of incense that can make a woman unconscious, and there will be no discovery after waking up." โ
Liang Cheng was taken aback and said: "Mingguang Temple stipulates that only female pilgrims can go to the Linzi Hall to ask for a child when they are accompanied by the host, and now the senior brother has found this kind of incense that is only useful for women, it seems that there must be some conspiracy in it." โ
Yi Nian said quietly: "Fang Cai said that there will be a Mrs. Yuan coming to ask for a son tomorrow morning......"
The two glanced at each other, and they were all silent......
The next day, Liang Cheng and Yi Nian pretended to be good, and when they passed through the front hall, Liang Cheng saw a group of seven or eight people passing through the corridor from a distance, and the head was wearing a robe, and Liang Cheng couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Last night, due to the angle problem, Liang Cheng could only see the back of the host's bright head.
The name of the host of Mingguang Temple is good knowledge, and it seems that he is not in the age of standing, a national face, sharp and angular, looks resolute and majestic, if it weren't for the fact that he had seen his โกโก of words and words last night, Liang Cheng would definitely mistake the other party for a young and promising, upright and upright temple host.
Behind the good knowledge is a woman wearing a white hat, holding the maid beside her with one hand, although she can't see the face clearly, but her posture is graceful, she wants to come to the posture is extraordinary, and there are two sword attendants and a few monks behind her, judging from the standard of monk's clothes, the status in the temple is not too low, and the pace is steady, the breath is heavy, and the skill is not weak.
The group quickly disappeared in the corner of the corridor, Liang Cheng retracted his gaze, and looked at Shangshanjian's eyes, I don't know if it was because of the picture he saw last night, Liang Cheng only felt that Shanjian's peach blossom eyes were enchanting.
It's a very strange word to use on a man, not to mention that this man is still a monk without hair, but it is very appropriate to use it to describe good views.
Shanjian smiled softly at Liang Cheng, "I don't know if the two donors, did you sleep comfortably last night?" โ
The word "comfortable", the tail note is slightly hooked, and the eye wave floats past Liang Cheng's body, and falls on Liang Cheng's side Yi Nian's face, "Since you are traveling, you might as well enjoy the scenery of Sizhou?" โ
Liang Cheng took a step sideways, slightly blocked a thought, and said with a faint smile: "Master has a good intention, Cheng has a certain heart, the mountains and rivers here are facing the arch, the wind is condensed, and it is the area of the shape of the victory, but unfortunately I am afraid that I will miss it this time." โ
Without waiting for Shanjian to speak again, Liang Cheng began to say goodbye, "Cheng Mou has thanked you for your hospitality, and asked Master to stay." โ
Kind and unpredictable smiled, "That's it, goodbye fate, donor, please." โ
With that, he folded his hands and leaned over slightly.
Liang Cheng bowed in return, turned around and left, and maintained the demeanor of an indifferent swordsman throughout the whole process, with a cold expression and an elegant posture, and when he saw Liang Cheng move away, he followed without saying a word.
Zenmi looked at the background of Yi Nian, bit his lower lip lightly, a flash of interest flashed in his eyes, and instructed the monk who had been bowing his head behind him: "Onito, follow them and see where they go." โ
The monk called the Oni Tuo did not make a sound, flashed like a ghost, and then disappeared beyond the cornices and corners.
Liang Cheng discussed with Yi Nian last night, first pretended to leave, and then prepared night clothes in the city, and Liang Cheng also needed to pass the Sizhou branch of the Guรฒ Hongwei Dart Bureau to send a message to Li Duqiu.
As soon as the two of them came out of the outer gate of Mingguang Temple, they said: "Mrs. Nayuan should be the eldest daughter of the leader of the Eight Desolations Alliance and the sister of Lu Chongtai." โ
Liang Cheng: "How does Senior Brother know?" โ
Yi thought: "The saber guard behind her, the clothes she wears have the symbol of the Eight Desolations League, Lu Chongtai has a sister who is married to Yuan Wenzan, the governor of Anhui Prefecture, and the lady they said last night, if there is no accident, it should be her." โ
After listening to the words of a thought, Liang Cheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought, Sizhou is the north and south, the entire Mingguang Temple, is one of the strongholds of the four princes to connect the upper and lower operations, the women who come to the Mingguang Temple to ask for children, there are always some of the inner rooms of the wealthy eunuchs, good knowledge through the saying of seeking children, coupled with incense, it is impossible to say that there is no secret use of pickled and concealed means, control these noble women, take them for their own use, and then use them to influence the pillow people, and then the entire Huaishui north and south, I am afraid that they will fall into the bag of the four princes.
This Anhui Governor Yuan Wenzan, a big official, with the governor of the southern section of the canal, was the first to be a bachelor in front of the Ming and Yuan Emperors, and has always been the emperor's confidant.
Liang Cheng couldn't help biting his thumb nails, the fourth prince probably didn't have that courage before, but now that the prince is hanging empty, he has an uncle He Bingxuan, who leads the Zuolong Martial Arts Captain, and is in charge of the guards and battalions at the West Gate of the Eastern Capital.
This time, the four princes took advantage of the reason of the grain, and did not hesitate to stumble on the second prince at the border pass, which was the first step.
It seems that his early withdrawal made the four princes unable to wait.
Liang Cheng just sorted out all the threads, his hand was held, Liang Cheng was slightly stunned, only to see Yi Nian's fingertips wipe over the thumb that had just been bitten by him, and there were some suspicious crystals on it, and Yi Nian gently wiped these traces without changing his face, with a helpless smile in his tone, as if Liang Cheng was a naughty child, and said: "Senior brother, you are such a big person, how can you still bite your fingers?" โ
Liang Cheng withdrew his hand in embarrassment, behind his back, tightly clenched his thumb into his palm, coughed calmly, and changed the topic: "Senior brother, Mrs. Yuan's identity is very wide, let's secretly return to the temple first." โ
As soon as the words fell, Liang Cheng saw that Yinian's face changed slightly, Liang Cheng instantly understood, and after condensing for a certain time, he noticed that someone was following, and the two glanced at each other, as if they had a heart, and they turned around and swept away at the same time with full tacit understanding, one left and one right towards the roadside grove not far behind him, not giving the other party a moment of respite, blocking all retreats.
A thought of the palm, as if the flowers whisk the dust, the attitude is graceful, but the palm wind has nothing to do with gentleness, around the fingers of the soft wrapped in a thousand catties of might, such as the white waves on the shore, only a palm, so that the person who follows does not dare to meet head-on.
The person who followed this was the ghost tuo, at this time he was wearing a ghost-faced helmet, wearing a black strong suit, his body was fluttering, like a ghost, there was no trace of Zen martial arts, and fighting with him would never connect him with Buddhism.
Ghost Tuo avoided a thought of the palm wind, turned and jumped back, but was intercepted by Liang Cheng, a sword light rushed towards him, like a horizontal wave, coming from all directions, there was no way to avoid it, so he had to face it head-on.
The yin and poisonous true qi collided head-on with the clear sword wave, like the wind swinging away, startling the fallen leaves in the forest like winter sparrows, and radiating outwards one after another, the cold true qi of the ghost is Liang Cheng's nemesis, instantly invading Liang Cheng's body, arousing the cold poison dormant in his body.
Liang Cheng's body was stunned, and there was a cold and cold air in the dantian, like a hibernating poisonous snake, finally ushering in spring and breaking through the ground!
