34. Gossip

Xiyue woke up from a low chanting and singing chant, the moment she opened her eyes, she had a moment of ignorance, the quiet room, the quiet window, the table was still burning with light smoke and sandalwood, quiet and peaceful, and there was a chant in the distance. She opened her eyes wide, and through the open window, she looked at the eaves of the Daxiong Treasure Hall in the distance for a moment......

After a while, the door of the wing room creaked open, and two nuns walked in, one of them was an older one, looking about sixty years old, and the other was a teenage nun, holding toiletries in her hands.

Seeing that she was awake, the elderly nun had a happy face, and sat down in front of her couch with a kind gaze, "Ye girl, are you awake?" How does it feel? Seeing her staring at herself in a daze, she remembered that she had lost her memory, "Poor Ni Huishui, is the host of Caowei Hall, when you were six years old, Yili took your hand and sent you to Caowei Hall with Watari Fangzhang, and Caowei Hall still keeps your room. ”

Xiyue's gaze moved away from Hui Shui's face, and then looked at the young nun standing behind Hui Shui, Hui Shui smiled, and said: "She is Mingchen, she has always taken care of you before, and you also grew up together." ”

Mingchen had a round face, full and plump, she grinned at Xiyue, looking very sweet, "Yezi, you finally woke up, are you hungry?" ”

Xiyue slowly shook her head, "Where is this?" I...... How did I end up here? ”

Hui Shui's expression darkened, and he sighed lightly: "This is the Great Compassion Temple, you went crazy and almost died, it was Anyi who sent you here." Ye Zi, have you practiced some evil sect internal martial arts? You have the pure yang true qi that Duyi gave you, and the internal strength and mental method you practice are incompatible, only Duyi can save you in this world, and fortunately, comfort came in time, if it is a day late......" She paused, and said: "Now that Duyi has dispersed all the evil skills in your body, you must not practice again in the future." ”

I see. Xiyue has been practicing the fifth level of the Northern Secret since last month, the first four layers she practiced easily, but she didn't expect to practice the fifth layer of difficulties when she was difficult, she knew that this Northern Secret was easy to learn and difficult to master, and she couldn't ask Yan Xu when she encountered a bottleneck, so she only pondered by herself, and after practicing it, she often felt that her breath was not smooth, and she didn't care at that time, she only thought that her foundation was shallow, and it turned out that the pure yang true qi in her body and the Northern Secret were mutually restrictive. That day, He An Yi made a move, and An Yi's words made her heart mourn, and under the retrograde of qi and blood, she went crazy.

She thought of comfort again, and asked, "What about comfort?" Is he okay? How long did I sleep? ”

Mingchen's crisp and pleasant voice sounded, "You've been asleep for three days." An Yi was originally injured, and when he sent you here, he went day and night, and he fell down as soon as he arrived at the Great Compassion Temple, and he never woke up after that, and I heard that he hadn't woken up before we came. But Watari said that he was just overworked and that it should be fine, so you don't have to worry about him, it's important to take care of your body. ”

Mingchen chattered, twisted the hot handkerchief to wipe her face, cherished the moon, took the handkerchief and said that he would come. Hui Shui asked her carefully how she felt, and then took her pulse, and after making sure that she was okay, she was going back to Caoweitang, and before leaving, she patted Xiyue's hand, "Life is impermanent, the past is always always, like the full moon and the moon is missing, although there is a regret without memory, but who can say that this is not a blessing?" And when you were a boiled tea in the past, you got rid of all the foam and impurities, and only left a clear tea. ”

It is the middle of May, it is the season of spring and Jingming, but after nightfall, there is still a little chill on the barren mountain, the mountain wind blows, the towering ancient trees are rustling, as if with a crying tone, listening to a little desolate.

Xiyue entered the Mahavira Treasure Hall, the Buddha was high, half-open and half-closed eyes looked at the front with compassion, sat cross-legged on the futon in the center of the hall, tuk tuk knocked on the wooden fish, and the thin body became more and more thin against the background of the magnificent Buddha statue.

Xiyue slowly walked to Watari and knelt down, bowed his head three times reverently, and then sat cross-legged without saying a word. After a long time, Wataichi finally stopped knocking on the wooden fish, "Ye girl, but it's okay?" ”

Xiyue Chaodu bowed one by one, "Thank you Abbot for rescuing." ”

A smile bloomed on Wataichi's wrinkled face, "Don't thank you, it's you who saved you." In Xiaoshan that day, if you hadn't taught Lao Wei to escape, Lao Wei would have been slaughtered as a donkey, so how could you save you today? ”

Xiyue sneered, knowing that Duyi's cultivation was unfathomable, and even if a hundred arrows were fired that day, he couldn't hurt him in the slightest, and he couldn't comfort himself by saying this. She remembered that Du Yi appeared in Xiaoshan inexplicably that day, and left inexplicably, at that time, An Yi was still following Yan Min as Zishuo, and when Du Yi appeared, he deliberately hid in order not to reveal his identity, "The abbot was in Xiaoshan that day, why not come to the rescue?" ”

Du Yi: "Ye Yatou Lao Gu wants to be saved, but it was not Ye Yatou who was in Xiaoshan that day." ”

Xiyue was dumbfounded, speechless for a while, thinking that when he left that day, he left a sentence "Although the heart is lost, the nature is especially there, very good and very good", thinking that the so-called salvation of these outsiders probably refers to the hearts of the people saved, not the lives.

After a moment of silence, Xiyue asked, "Abbot, Yili said that my mother was chased and killed back then, and fled to Wubarren Mountain with me, what happened to my mother?" Who is chasing her? ”

Du Yi raised his head, looked at the three Buddha statues mottled with monuments in the hall, and said slowly: "According to legend, Fuxi had left ten strategies for future generations, but the place where the treasure was hidden set up an organ, only the blood of Fuxi's descendants can be opened, how many years, princes and grandsons of various countries, people in the rivers and lakes, all of them are eager to rush to it, but to open the ten directions, you must first find the descendants of Fuxi and Fuxi gossip, so, the descendants of Fuxi are strange goods, once the identity is exposed, all parties are fighting for life and death. Your mother is a descendant of Fuxi, and so are you. ”

After a pause, "The one who chased your mother back then, all forces were possible. When your mother fled to the barren mountain with you, she was seriously injured, she hid you in the back mountain, and ran to the Great Compassion Temple for help, but unfortunately the injury was too serious, she only handed over the Fuxi gossip to the old man, and even went before you could say your name. When Yili found you, you were hidden in a clump of daylilies, so Yili named you Ye Xuan, and I wish you a lifetime like daylilies without worry. Yili has been taking care of you, for fear that you will be troubled by knowing your life experience, we have not told you the truth. ”

The last time she heard Yili mention her mother, she guessed that she was no longer in the world, and she was still a little sad to confirm it with her own ears. Wataichi also taught her some internal skills for pranayama and smooth qi, and told her to practice diligently during this time, and never to force the exercises again.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiyue felt that the breath in her body was much smoother. On this day, white flags were suddenly hung in the Great Compassion Temple, and the monks chanted the scriptures all night, as if something big had happened. When Huishui left, he left Mingchen to take care of Xiyue, and Mingchen told her that she was driving today.

"Alas, things have not been going well in the palace recently, first King Rui died of illness, and it has only been a few days, and now it is again. I said that the heavy snowfall at the end of last year came too early, which is not a good sign......"

Xiyue was shocked, the dragon body has been not good today, everyone didn't say it on the surface, they had long expected that he would not survive this year, but King Rui has always been in good health, she still remembers the sharp eyes of King Rui when he looked at her before the expedition, why did he suddenly die? She asked, "Is King Rui sick and dead?" When? ”

Mingchen blinked, crossed his fingers and calculated: "It seems to be the fifth day of the fifth month of May...... It should be comfortably on the way back to the Great Wilderness Mountain. Mingchen lowered his voice again and said, "I heard from Mrs. Shi at the time that King Rui was most likely executed by Jinshang, and he only claimed that he had an emergency. ”

Xiyue was silent, calculated the time, King Rui should be the sixth day after Yan Xu was injured, then Yan Xu didn't know if he was getting better, and suddenly received the news of his father's death, and hit him repeatedly, I am afraid that it will be sad.

She twitched in her heart for a moment and changed the subject, "By the way, what about Yili, I've been back for so long, why don't I see him?" "On that day, Du Yi and Yili left Qiongzhou together, and Du Yi returned to the Great Compassion Temple, and Yili should have returned.

Mingchen hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and then muttered: "It's not good to be close, since he came back with the abbot, he went to break into the bronze formation every day, saying that he wanted to take Fuxi gossip, and he was beaten to pieces every day, how many days have he been, and he still refuses to give up." I was afraid that you would be worried, so Mrs. Shi specially told me not to sue you, but now you are almost fine, I thought, maybe you can persuade you to leave......"

Before Mingchen's words were finished, Xiyue pushed the door and ran towards the Scripture Pavilion. The bronze man array of the Great Compassion Temple is composed of eighteen bronze people, because the Fuxi gossip is hidden in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, so the eighteen bronze people are stationed in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion on weekdays.

Outside the Scripture Pavilion, Yili was once again thrown out by two bronze men, he lay on the ground weakly, motionless, and it took a long time to get up with difficulty, and he wanted to break into the pavilion again.

"Leave, don't go...... You can't break through......" Xiyue pulled Yili hard, the corners of his eyebrows burst, blood flowed down his forehead, his face was full of bruises, and the monk's robe on his body had already been torn into pieces, and there was no more free and easy to fly out of the dust in the past.

Yili shook off Xiyue's hand and staggered forward, "No, I must break in, I want to get Fuxi gossip...... Xiyue waited for me to save her...... If I'm late, she'll die......"

Xiyue knew that the Xiyue in his mouth was referring to Gu Xiyue, and she pulled him again, almost crying, "But...... She's dead, and if you take the gossip, she won't come back to life. Yili, don't break into it again, you can't break through, if the Eighteen Bronze Formation is so easy to break into, Fuxi gossip would have been robbed a long time ago. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have shown mercy at all, and if you didn't come to your senses, you would die......"

Yili's originally scattered eyes suddenly gathered essence, "No, she is not dead, she must still be alive." You don't know Yan Xu, he cares about the moon, and he will never joke about this. He said that if I want to see Fuxi gossip within a month, if I go late, I will regret the moon...... She can't wait, I have to save her, I owe her so much......"

Xiyue was stunned, and suddenly remembered the scene in the secret room, Gu Xiyue was lying in the jade coffin, lifelike, now that she thinks about it, there may be some mystery in the ice-like jade coffin, maybe Gu Xiyue is really not dead.

"Ye Zi, don't worry about me, you take care of your illness, remember not to leave the Great Compassion Temple, only the Great Compassion Temple can protect your safety."

Yili walked towards the library pavilion again, the three bronze men who were originally guarding the pavilion door, suddenly disappeared without a trace, and Duyi slowly walked out of the pavilion, holding an object in his hand.

"Idiot, after all, you can't break a magic word, take it......"

"Abbot ......" Yili looked at Duyi in a daze, and what he held in his hand was the legendary Fuxi gossip.

Du Yi raised his hand one by one and threw the gossip to Yili, "Remember, knowing illusion is leaving, and leaving illusion is awakening." ”

Yili went down the mountain that night, and An Yi finally woke up that night, and when he woke up, he wanted to see Xiyue, but Xiyue asked Mingchen to pass a message for her, asking him to recuperate with peace of mind. Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, Xiyue packed up her bags and quietly left the Great Compassion Temple in a long and low chanting of the scriptures.
