Chapter 389: Hostage Life
"Ah, it's finally here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The old man said softly: "Commissioner Yu, the front is the Qiyun Temple of Tianmu Mountain." This monastery has a lot to do with China! ”
Seeing that Yu Zexuan ignored him, and couldn't figure out Yu Zexuan's path, he had to close his mouth and continue to lead the way. But Yu Zexuan noticed the old man's green face, and his cheeks were bulging, probably gritting his teeth.
The group rested twice, because it was going down the mountain, the speed was faster and more relaxed. After walking for an hour and a half, taking a break in between, I finally came to a temple. From the outside of the temple, although it is relatively large, it is basically the size of a medium-sized temple. But there were no pilgrims and monks, no morning bells and dusk drums, and no chanting sounds, and there was a dead silence in all directions.
Yu Zexuan followed everyone into the silent temple. At first glance, the temple building is the central avenue of the Tang Dynasty, with three entrances and four layers of the central axis. The mountain gate is facing the Tianwang Palace, the middle hall is naturally the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and the back is the three saints of the West. The backyard that goes in again is the monk's dormitory, the meditation room and the scripture pavilion. Tallinn in the west, and several rooms in the east.
Yu Zexuan collected his efforts in front of the mountain gate, and the group was in a hurry, passing through the hall and entering the room without hurrying to take a closer look, and crossed the courtyard to a white courtyard wall at the back. I saw a winding path leading to a locked wooden door.
The old man waved at the man in gray. The man in gray immediately made a gesture and disappeared. Presumably in a predetermined position.
Then the old man took out a key and unlocked the door. The man in black stepped forward and knelt down, pushed open the door and bowed down to let Yu Zexuan enter the door. Yu Zexuan frowned and raised his legs to enter the courtyard, and the old man also came in. The man in black got up and approached the courtyard, reflexively closed the door, and hurried to the front with small steps. The old man invited on the platform on his right hand: "Commissioner Yu, please!" ”
Yu Zexuan tilted his head sideways, and followed the man in black along a curved path paved with white rectangular stone slabs. The trail is lined with large trees with bamboo bushes and neatly built shrubs. For about four or five minutes, I just felt a light in my eyes. In front is an open lawn.
The lawn undulates slightly along the hillside, and in the middle is a pond more than 20 meters in diameter, spanned by a small bridge with a zigzag red fence, and opposite is a row of Japanese-style wooden bungalows.
The trees around the bungalow act as an excellent barrier, and together with the open lawn and pond, it forms an effective perimeter around the bungalow.
Along the way, Yu Zexuan felt very strange that there was no way to form a formation in the Japanese garden. I didn't understand until I saw the situation in front of me. It is not the cultivators who need to be guarded against in the Japanese garden, but warriors and ninjas, even mortals with weapons in hand. As the old man walked across the small bridge, he gradually approached the bungalow.
The gray-clothed old man stopped and said, "Commissioner Yu, this is where you live temporarily. Then he pointed to the man in black and said, "Her name is Eriko Koki, and I will look for her directly if I have something." Let her serve your life. Then he bowed and said, "Commissioner Yu will rest first." An hour later, I invited Commissioner Yu to dinner. ”
Yu Zexuan nodded and said, "Thank you!" He turned around and was about to walk up to the wooden porch in front of the door. Seeing the spotless floor in front of him shining slightly in the morning light, and seeing that he was full of dirt shoes on the mountain road, he hesitated a little and stood in front of the three steps without moving.
At this time, the man in black, oh! It should be that Eriko Xiaoshu has already stepped forward and knelt on the right side of Yu Zexuan's leg and said, "I'm sorry, Eriko didn't take good care of her!" Excuse me. Then he reached out and grabbed Yu Zexuan's shoes.
Yu Zexuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the appearance of Eriko Xiaoshu who was about to cry, so he blushed and said, "Thank you!" Isn't it just taking off your shoes? I'll do it myself. Seeing Eriko obediently retract her hand, she rubbed her feet against each other, took off her shoes, and stepped up the three-step stairs to the front of the corridor.
Looking at the first-class and indiscriminate wooden lattice in front of me, I simply stood in the hallway at a loss. At this time, Eriko Koki ran forward and knelt in front of a door, stretched out her hand to open the door, knelt on the ground and said, "Commissioner Yu, please come in." ”
Yu Zexuan was just about to step into the house, when he suddenly turned around. Unexpectedly, he turned his head sharply and saw the gray-clothed old man standing on the ground under the porch with a difficult expression of both loss and admiration. Seeing Yu Zexuan turn around and look at him unexpectedly, he was immediately very embarrassed and hurriedly bowed and said, "Commissioner Yu, please rest!" ”
Then he hurriedly turned around and walked a few steps. As soon as he thought about it, he stopped and turned around and pointed his finger around with a bluff, and said without a smile: "Commissioner Yu, you'd better not stay away from the house, and don't go beyond the courtyard at the farthest." Otherwise, if something happens, none of us will be good! ”
Yu Zexuan didn't say a word, and quietly looked at the old man in gray. The gray-clothed old man's face turned red suddenly, and then the brush turned pale, and his already brownish-black skin then flashed patches of mottled vegetable green. Under Yu Zexuan's calm gaze, he gritted his teeth and turned away.
Yu Zexuan turned around and entered the house. The room is about 15 square meters and has nine mats on the floor. The pale green rush exudes a pleasant natural grass fragrance, the indoor air is fresh, and the faint floral fragrance makes people feel very comfortable. Except for a low table in the middle of the room, it was empty and empty.
Stepping on the thick and soft mat, Yu Zexuan walked to the low table. Facing the door, put your backpack on the ground next to you, and sit down slowly. Since there was no stool, it was very uncomfortable to bend my knees, so I felt much more comfortable to sit on my knees instead. Yu Zexuan slowly relaxed, his eyes seemed to be closed, and he rested for a while.
With the sound of a paper door sliding, a woman in a kimono knelt and pulled the door open. "Commissioner Yu, excuse me!" Then a woman in a kimono entered the house with a stack of clothes and towels in her hand.
The woman's hair is piled upwards in a high bun and fastened to the top of the head with a comb and hairpin. Kneel down in the doorway, put your things aside, and turn around to close the paper door. Holding it in his hand again, he stood up and took small steps to the table and knelt down.
He put things aside, then leaned down and bowed down and said, "I'm sorry for waiting so long!" My name is Michiko Sakiyagawa, please take care of me! Please ask Commissioner Yu to take a bath and change clothes. ”
After a night of tossing and a morning of walking, Yu Zexuan's clothes and pants were already soaked, and they were wet with dew, so it was very uncomfortable to wrap themselves in cold at this time. When I heard that I could take a bath, I couldn't help but be happy.
"Oh! Okay! Yu Zexuan looked around and said, "Thank you!" Excuse me, where is the washroom? ”
"Commissioner Yu is so polite! It is a great honor for me to receive guests from so far away! Please come with me, Commissioner Yu! ”
Saying that, the woman in the kimono stood up, lowered her head and held the pile of things around her to the paper door on Yu Zexuan's right hand, and put down her things and knelt down to open the door.
