Chapter 154: A Narrow Road (5)

She stood at the door of the temple, her whole person was like falling into an ice cave, cold from beginning to end, and her mind was even more blank. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 🔥 When did jade disappear? Where will it go? Did you accidentally lose it, or did someone steal it? Or maybe you forgot it in some inconspicuous place? He pinched his palms hard, and felt a piercing pain, so he managed to find some thoughts and began to search for those scattered memories in his mind.

Inns, riverbanks, Tallinn, temples, sweeping monks, believers passing by, everywhere, paragraph by paragraph, sporadic pictures suddenly pass through the mind, suddenly disappear, faintly back and forth, seem to be clear and not very clear, as if floating on the surface of the water or hiding behind the clouds, covering, the more you want to figure it out, the more you can't grasp the point, and you can't find the slightest useful clue.

There seemed to be countless silk threads and scattered pictures in her mind, like a glimpse of light, she captured little by little, desperately recalled, and finally could only confirm one thing: when she went out, it should be there, when she changed clothes, two blood-red jade pendants were placed on the table, Ambilight, and there seemed to be an undercurrent, when she left, she reached out and hid it firmly in her clothes, and then pushed open the door and left.

After that, I was completely unimpressed.

In other words, the biggest possibility is that it was lost in the vicinity of these numerous temples. It's better if it's just lost, but if someone takes it away......

"You go first, I'm going back again." She immediately said, "I dropped something, and when I find it, I'll go to the inn to meet you." "The pace has already begun to shift. She lowered her eyes and thought seriously, how careless she was along the way, there would always be some sound when hard objects landed, and it was impossible to be unconscious, not to mention that there were four of them in a group, even if she didn't notice it, it wasn't that Fan Yuqing and Xiao Wu didn't feel it at all.

But if you sit down and rest, it's very different, when you rest, she slipped from her clothes, silent, and it was really difficult to find it immediately, and in the whole process of searching for people, she only stopped in Mingyin Temple for a while. It shouldn't have been lost for too long now, and if she finds it from Mingyin Temple, she may be able to find it......

When the three of them saw her like this, their faces changed slightly, and Fan Yuqing said, "What is it?" ”

"It's inconvenient to go into details, I'll go to the places where I have stayed in the temple, and I will ...... before anyone takes them away" As time pressed for her, she spoke with anxiety.

There are high-ranking monks in the temple, outsiders should not dare to disturb at will, no matter how bold a large number of black-clothed people are, I am afraid that they will be afraid and dare not trespass without permission, besides, she lost something, maybe she doesn't want others to see it...... Fan Yuqing hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Then you be careful, if you haven't returned at night, I'll come here to look for you again." After speaking, he nodded to Xiao Wu, and several people left first.

When I turned back to the temple, the sun was already setting, and the pedestrians were sparse, only many burned-out incense pillars remained, and the smoke still filled the hall for a long time. Cen Kexuan started from the place where the three of them went to the incense and kowtowed, from the incense burner to the tributes offered to the Buddhas, and from the Buddha platform to the futon for meditation and worship, turning over and over, groping and rummaging one by one, his heart was impatient and flustered. Her strange behavior caused the dust-sweeping monks on the side to look sideways frequently, and they wanted to stop talking, and finally when she accidentally knocked over a plate of enshrined melons and fruits, she finally couldn't help but come forward and ask, "I don't know what the donor is looking for, do you need the help of the little monk?" ”

Cen Kexuan's heart jumped, he quickly stood up straight and withdrew his hand, smiled at him apologetically, and said reluctantly: "When I bowed here, I dropped a copper plate, and the copper plate has seen blood, if it stains the Buddha and Bodhisattva, it will be too sinful, I thought so, so I came back to investigate carefully." Seeing that the other party was about to speak, she immediately preemptively continued: "Fortunately, I have found it, and when I leave later, I will take it away." Pulling out a lie indiscriminately, I was shocked to realize that my face was not red and my heart was not beating.

"The donor respects the Bodhisattva in his heart, and believes that the Bodhisattva will also bless the donor with all safety." He clasped his hands together and finally said, "If the donor has any inconvenience, please feel free to let me know." ”

Cen Kexuan nodded again and again: "Thank you." ”

The monk bowed again, then turned away and went to sweep the dust elsewhere.

Seeing that he was gradually walking away, there was no figure, Cen Kexuan bypassed the Buddha statue and went in another direction, a temple should have zazen, teaching, incense, worship, a place to hide books, a place for monks and visitors to stay, and even a place for garden rest, but all the places where she had stayed before, one by one, rummaging one by one, but no matter how she tried her best, searching every corner, there was still no gain.

After the tourists dispersed, there was no one else in the quiet garden except her, even the monk who swept the floor disappeared for a while, and the lost unicorn jade never appeared again.

She stood in a gazebo in a daze, not knowing what to do for a while, and she couldn't believe that she had lost the only thing her brother had left her......

As the night wore on, the bell rang, and she looked up and saw the faint crescent moon on the top of the mountain, like a small boat rippling among the green waters. When Cen Zifei carried her up the mountain to watch the sunrise, it was this scene, she lay on her brother's back, opened her sleepy eyes slightly, and vaguely saw half of the crescent moon and a few sparse stars. Then, he fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, she had reached the top of the mountain, and when the red sun gradually rose from the mountain, everything came back to life, and the scene shook her young heart.

However, as she grew up, she found that what was really hard to forget was the memory of waking up in a blur, when her brother carried him up the mountain step by step, the sound of insects chirping at that time, the faint stars, and the faint smell of sweat on her brother's body and the scent of sandalwood from the study.

When I was a child, I took it for granted, but now that I think about it, I suddenly understand what kind of precious doting and pity the teenager who was still a child gave her.

She once thought that if she could see him again in this life, she would never be a wayward girl again, and she would cherish everything about him.

However, it seems that the heavens do not want to give her this opportunity......

Looking at the mountains in distraction, the emotions of unwillingness and grievance surged, and his eyes gradually blurred. She hates herself like this weak and incompetent, but she is always helpless, powerless to change the difficulties or dilemmas she is facing at the moment, and even the family heirloom jade pendant has been lost, what face does she have to live...... Wiping her moist cheeks vigorously, through the hazy vision, she suddenly saw the shadow of the tree in front of her, and a meditation room that she had not yet found could be seen. In a trance, I remembered that the sword-bearer who came out of it during the day, could it have been picked up by him?

She wiped away her tears and looked intently, only to see that the door of the meditation room was hidden, and there was no sound heard quietly, Cen Kexuan looked left and right, and felt that there was no one in front of him, and finally walked forward.

Walking inside, I found that the room was dimly lit, not like the usual people, but when I looked around, I found that it was not empty, and there were many things placed in it, except for a simple bed and a very simple desk, there were several rows of bookshelves side by side on all sides, and countless books were placed on the layers of partitions, and the whole room also showed a huge smell of books. Cen Kexuan stepped forward and flipped through one or two books at random, which were nothing more than Buddhist books such as "Diamond Sutra" and "Six Patriarch Altar Sutra".

Distraught, he threw it back at random, but accidentally moved too much, and a stack of books fell to the ground, startling a thick layer of ash.

It is rumored that the monks of Mingyin Temple once created a very good kung fu school when they practiced, and then wrote the key to their mental methods into the book, which provoked countless people to come and steal them, and they may be hidden here. If someone finds out and becomes a book thief, I'm afraid it's not good. She was secretly nervous, and hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and when she bowed down, she looked over the scattered bookshelves, and suddenly found that there was an imperceptible hut in the innermost corner.

The door of the hut was hidden, and although it was dark and difficult to see, she could vaguely see a lot of discarded wooden planks piled up, and she somehow became curious, and walked over step by step. She waved her hand to disperse it, and the darkness was occupied by a deeper darkness, the bolt of the small door was broken, and it was not closed tightly, she hesitated to cross the threshold, and before she could see clearly, her body was pulled inside by a sudden force, and the small door was quickly closed.

"Who-" After exclaiming, the man in the darkness suddenly reached out to cover her mouth, and her body was instantly controlled, unable to move a single bit.

"Don't move." As she struggled, she heard the man behind her whisper.

Cen Kexuan's heartbeat increased in vain, and his whole body stiffened.

She wanted to speak, but at this moment, the old wooden door at the door of the meditation room was gradually pushed open, and she looked beyond the narrow gap and bookshelves, and she first saw a shadow, and with the slight footsteps, the shadow grew bigger and bigger, and finally, she finally caught a glimpse of a pair of feet, which were wearing dark brown cloth boots, stained with a little dirt, not large in size, nor heavy, and after a rough guess, it seemed that an old man slowly stepped in.

Cen Kexuan looked up along those feet, and saw a long-bearded old man wearing a Taoist robe, but seeing that the old man's steps were steady and light, he was clearly in his fifties, but he had a childish face, a ruddy complexion, obviously extremely high internal strength, and was a very rare master, and the person who controlled her behind him gradually held his breath, and the hand covering Cen Kexuan's mouth also increased his strength.

He's hiding from this man! Cen Kexuan instantly understood.

Sure enough, the old man walked very slowly after entering the house, his eyes wandered back and forth, searching inch by inch, he must be looking for him. He walked around the house step by step, and when he passed the place where Cen Kexuan and them were hiding, Cen Kexuan felt that the hands covering him were getting harder and harder, almost suffocating her, and the sound of her heartbeat was almost heard. However, under the cover of the scattered bookshelves, the old man did not notice them, but walked around the room, as if he was sure that there was no one, and gradually went out to leave.

The man behind him seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his hand unconsciously relaxed a little, and taking advantage of this gap, Cen Kexuan suddenly pushed him away, the man didn't expect it, he hit the wall coldly, and snorted. Cen Kexuan took two steps back, only to realize that his hands were wet and sticky, and they were actually stained with blood in a moment. "You ......" she looked at the man in surprise, and the man glanced at her faintly, and then his body went limp, and he fainted to the ground.

Result...... What's going on?

She was shocked, pushed open the door behind her, and only a little light came in the dark corner, and in the dust, she squatted down and began to look at the unconscious person in front of her by the dim light. This man was very young and very handsome, Xu because of the injury, his lips had been pursed, and even a trace of blood could be seen at the corners of his mouth, and his brows were tightly furrowed, with a little sweat. There was a sword beside him, which had been held tightly in his hand all along, but now it had loosened a lot due to exhaustion. She reached out and carefully pulled the sword out of his hand, and on the hilt of the sword, the arrogant and wanton word "cold snow" caught her eye.

The famous sword of the rivers and lakes, the Hanxue Sword, the only symbol of the killer Hanyue.
