13. Peach blossom "demon" under the peach blossom tree (12)
The prosperity of Lucheng does not only come from its delicate geographical location - it happens to be the meeting point between several countries, which makes foreign trade here very frequent, and all countries have power here, forming a certain balance, which makes it unexpectedly "peaceful".
-- There was no war to spread.
Moreover, because of the Bodhi Temple located in the mountains outside Lucheng City, the sound of the Buddha of the Bodhi Temple and the magic effect beyond the ordinary temple have attracted believers from all over the world, and they have lived in the attitude of reverence and reverence, so that Lucheng can develop better, and the peace here is inseparable from the efforts of a group of believers.
Among the believers, in addition to the common people, there are also high-ranking officials and nobles, according to legend, the Bodhi sign can avoid disasters, listen to the Bodhi sound can wash the cause and effect, compared with ordinary people, rich or powerful people cherish life more.
It's just that where cause and effect are so easy to wash away, the sins committed will one day come back to themselves.
If they all become outsiders without cause and effect, then the eighteen hells of the underworld are not empty and unmanned.
With a cold smile, Ye Qi put down the curtain, the face covered by the veil was almost good, and it was painted into another appearance, the raised eyebrows and eyes were full of charming style, and the flush at the end of the eyes was deliberately aggravated, and when he squinted at people, he seemed to have affection.
Taking off the veil on his face, Ye Qi lightly fanned the air in front of him, the rich and pungent fragrance made him really unbearable, and the smell was even stronger than that of modern actresses.
I'm about to enter the city, today's city gate is different from the past, there are a few people standing with portraits, standing aside and looking at the crowd entering the city, some people are on fire by the eyes of these people, those people are smiling while showing something, the posture is very low, this is Lucheng, even if it is a person wearing ordinary cloth clothes, maybe it is everyone from a small country.
The gorgeous and delicate carriage gradually approached, and those people stepped forward, and Lin An, who was dressed as a bearded horseman, saw that they were blocking the road, and waved his long whip very unhappily, and shouted loudly in his mouth to let them leave with a strong accent of the Western Domain.
Those few people were stunned, but their country had just been at war with the Western Domain Kingdom recently, and the relationship had fallen to a freezing point, and if it was to be checked, it would provoke the anger of these foreigners.
A few people stepped forward, thinking that they would not fight at the gate of Lucheng regardless of it, and quietly approached the quiet carriage while bending down and making amends in a low voice, and one person took advantage of Lin An's inattention to provoke the curtain of the car, and a half-covered and half-covered gorgeous face appeared in the eyes of everyone.
There was a lot of exclamation from the crowd who were paying attention here, Ye Qi put on his veil when he heard the movement outside the carriage, and saw that the man was still standing in a daze, his eyes were sharp, and the sharp scolding made the man come back to his senses, and the wind was whistling in his ears, and he subconsciously avoided it.
I saw that Lin An's rough face was full of anger, and the horsewhip in his hand was waving loudly, hitting those people mercilessly, and several people immediately hugged their heads and ran away.
Seeing that those people had fled, if it weren't for the carriage, Lin An would have chased after him, standing next to the carriage and scolding, and the onlookers whispered.
Lin An told him that his young lady wanted to come to Bodhi Temple to pray for the wife and master of the family, but he didn't expect to encounter this incident before he entered the city gate, and while speaking, he also scolded a few words in his hometown dialect from time to time.
The non-commissioned officer frowned, asked others and knew that this matter was not big or small, and after it was confirmed, it was not small.
Those people were guarded by Wang Kai, in addition to the few people on the surface, there were many people secretly observing the crowd, the purpose was to find out Ye Qi and Lin An who might enter the city.
It's not that no one has been furious about this kind of investigation in the past few days, but the other party's posture is so low that he swallows this breath, after all, the other party hasn't done anything, and if he makes a big fuss, he will only seem to be bad. Of course, the portraits of the sons and daughters of the well-known nobles in the city have long been remembered, so naturally they will not touch their heads.
But today this matter is different, not to mention anything else, it is extremely rude to just lift the curtain without the consent of the owner, and the men of the Western Domain are bold and reckless, and the women are wanton and spicy, but they attach great importance to respect and humility, not to mention that the other party is still a nation that is fighting against their own country, so it is natural for them to be angry.
If this matter is not handled well, the hat on that head will fall off. After thinking about it, the non-commissioned officer still reported the matter, so Wang Kai was vaguely warned that this was Lucheng, not the territory of their Qiguo.
And because of Wang Kai's actions at the gate of the city, Wang Kai noticed that Wang Kai actually sent someone to secretly surround the Bodhi Temple, this discovery is amazing, where did Wang Kai get the confidence that he can do whatever he wants in Lucheng!
I don't know who stabbed out this news, the whole city was in an uproar, and Wang Kai's men were driven out of Lucheng by angry believers.
Wang Kai rode on the horse and turned his head to look at the towering city gate that was gradually moving away behind him, his face was ugly, this was the first time he was so wolf, Lucheng, Bodhi Temple, Lin An! Ye Qi! That's a good job!
"Lord ......"
"Go home!" can't manage the Bodhi Temple in Lucheng, can't he still handle a small Lin family!
Wang Kai's hidden stakes in the city were all pulled out, and Ye Qi and Lin An followed the angry crowd into the city, and no one explored their identities at this time.
……
Xuan Ming laboriously carried a large bucket of water to the backyard, and a graceful figure stood under the peach blossom tree, the golden veil on her body fluttering in the wind.
Xuan Ming put down the wooden barrel, folded his hands, and said a Buddha name: "Donor, this courtyard is no longer entertaining guests, please leave quickly." ”
The man turned around and smiled brightly: "Little monk, long time no see." ”
Xuan Ming was stunned: "Donor, it turns out that you are back." ”
Ye Qi saw the wooden barrel on the ground, and his temperament was much gentler: "You are here to water the peach tree?" ”
"It was ordered by the abbot a few days ago, and the abbot said," Xuan Ming glanced at Ye Qi, who couldn't hide his pale face even with heavy makeup, with some concern, "said that this peach blossom tree is not as good as before, although it is still in full bloom, it seems that it will not be long in coming." ”
"Yes." Ye Qi didn't react, but it was the evil aura emitted from the side that made Xuan Ming turn his head and look at Lin An in surprise, he didn't even notice that there was anyone there.
After Xuan Ming left, Lin An watched Ye Qi reach out and stroke the trunk of the tree, and then visible to the naked eye, the branches of the tree began to decay, the peach blossoms withered, and the trees were left in vain, the curved branches faded the vibrant green, and the brown bark was like the twilight of an old man.
Ye Qi's body fell down softly, and Lin An hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him into his arms, his face condensed: "Didn't you say that you would be fine when you came back?!" ”
Ye Qi lowered his eyes: "I didn't say it, it's okay to come back, it's just that if you don't come back, you'll die." ”
Lin An hugged him tighter and tighter, Ye Qi's vision was a little blurred, and he said softly, "It's okay...... It's good to sleep for a while......"
The person in his arms quieted down, Lin An looked at him with complicated eyes, and finally closed his eyes and dropped a kiss on his forehead: "Zhuohua...... Ah Hua ......"
Whatever you have become, I ......
