Chapter 53: Rescued
The next moment, Li Xin didn't say anything, and got up directly and walked into the room, and after a while, he saw her walking out with a string of Buddhist beads in her hand.
"That's right! That's it! Li Changyuan took the Buddha beads in his hand and muttered in his mouth: "This string of Buddha beads was personally consecrated by Master Guanhai, the abbot of Yunhai Temple, and this string of Buddha beads was originally carried by the master all the year round, and it was made of hundreds of years of yellow rosewood, a total of one hundred and eight.
"Each Buddha bead is engraved with 18 Arhats and a supreme mantra in the "Nan Fu Hua Sutra". And because it was brought by the master of Guanhai all the year round, he has accumulated supreme Buddha power over the years.
"It can be said that the value of each bead on this string of beads is immeasurable, let alone the whole string. Therefore, this Buddha bead is absolutely unique in this world, and there is no second string to be found, and no one can imitate it. ”
Speaking of this, Li Changyuan's expression was also very moving, "If it weren't for the fact that my Li family had an old relationship with Master Guanyun, and Master Guanhai was Master Guanyun's senior brother, and Master Guanhai was a compassionate person, where would I get this string of Buddhist beads?" ”
After confirming the authenticity of the Buddha beads, Li Changyuan's gaze had changed when he looked at Li Xin, it was the kind of real closeness, not the kind that was still a little suspicious and tempted before.
He immediately called out to Li Xin: "Little aunt." ”
Turning his head again, he naturally called Jiang Rong and said, "Little sister." ”
Rao is Jiang Rong has always been calm in trouble, but he was also shocked by this series of changes at this time. Who would have thought that A-Niang would still have such a tortuous life experience hidden behind her? I didn't expect Li Changyuan to become his cousin now.
Although she had already guessed in her heart before, she always felt that things would not come true, she was just a small hunter in Peach Blossom Village, how could she have anything to do with a person like Li Changyuan who was from an extraordinary background at a glance?
But now that Li Changyuan even shouted "little aunt", he won't admit his mistake, right?
But she still couldn't help but say, "Brother Li, are you sure you're really not mistaken?" Don't make an oolong incident when the time comes, that's not good. ”
Li Changyuan knocked her with a bent finger, "It's just that I'm mistaken, this string of Buddhist beads can't be wrong." ”
So Jiang Rong turned his gaze to Li Xin again, "Ah Niang, why have I never seen you take out this string of Buddhist beads?" ”
It's not that she suspects her own mother, but in ancient times, this kind of thing of recognizing her relatives just by virtue of an object is really a bit unreliable. What if this string of Buddhist beads is not Ah Niang's, but she got it by chance?
This scenario is not out of the question.
It's better to ask clearly in advance than to make trouble later, otherwise it won't be A-Niang who will be hurt in the end?
So Jiang Rong has always been very calm, and he didn't get carried away by this drama of recognizing relatives.
At this time, Li Xin's feelings had eased, and she also understood her daughter's concerns, so she told her own story.
Only then did Jiang Rong know that his mother's life experience was so magnificent, with ups and downs, and even implicated the heart-wrenching love story between his father Jiang Yi and her.
It turned out that Li Xin had lived in the nunnery in the mountains since he could remember, and because of Master Guanyun's previous instructions, the abbot of the nunnery had already been told by the Li family not to tell her about her life experience until Li Xin grew up and reached the age of sixteen.
Otherwise, it will violate the article of "less contamination with the red dust of the world".
Because of the arrival of the noble concubine of the Li family, the Jingsi Nunnery, which was about to be dilapidated, was renovated again, and with the endless supply of the Li family, the nuns in the nunnery suddenly had a better life.
Li Xin grew up to the age of twelve, and lived a pure, but not poor, leisurely and fun life, and even there was a very learned nun in the nunnery who taught them to read and write.
However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and one day, a group of uninvited guests came to the originally peaceful and peaceful nunnery - bandits.
More precisely, a group of soldiers who have fallen into the grass. Or a group of deserters who lost the battle.
At that time, Li Rongzhai, the general of Zhenbei who had been idle at home, was ordered to assist his eldest son Li Dingyuan to defend Yongzhou, and beat the rampant Xianbei people back and recaptured the five cities.
It's just that the slaughtered people and heavy losses in the city cannot be recovered. Therefore, at that time, people hated the Xianbei people so much that they gritted their teeth, especially the people on the border of Yongzhou.
The Xianbei people who had lost the battle were chased by the army led by General Li like lost dogs, most of them had been shot, and a few had fled. However, a small number of them escaped the pursuit of the army and fled into the deep mountains and dense forests.
Burning, killing, robbing, raping, and plundering, this is what the deserters did after they stormed into the Jingsi Nunnery.
The Jingsi Nunnery is full of nuns who are powerless, who can stop those strong and vicious Xianbei soldiers?
Originally, the Li clan wanted to send someone to protect her secretly after sending Li Xin to Jingsi Nunnery, but they were worried that this would go against Master Guanyun's statement, so they just repeatedly told the abbot of the nunnery to protect her.
The abbot of Jingsi Nunnery is surnamed Qin, and the nuns in the nunnery usually call her Master Qin. Because of the great favor of the Li family, Master Qin has always taken good care of Li Xin.
And she is a person who keeps her promises, from the moment the Xianbei deserters broke into the nunnery to do evil, she asked several quite strong old nuns in the nunnery to protect Li Xin and try to cover her escape.
It turned out to be discovered.
At that time, Li Xin had grown to the age of twelve, and his appearance was already visible, and he looked really beautiful. However, at this moment, her beautiful appearance brought her great disaster.
The Xianbei soldiers who caught up with her saw her one by one, just like a hungry wolf saw fresh meat, their eyes were shining, and they couldn't wait to knock people down immediately.
Several old nuns swore to stand in front of Li Xin, desperately dragging the Xianbei soldiers, trying to buy her a little time to escape.
However, even if these old nuns are stronger, how can they compare with the fierce and vicious Xianbei soldiers in terms of strength and force?
In a few moments, they died under the machetes of the Xianbei people, but they did not look blind when they died, and they still grabbed the trouser legs of the Xianbei people, not letting them pass.
Li Xin saw the tragic situation of those old nuns, and was shocked and painful for a while, afraid and afraid, so frightened that she hated to faint to death, but she also knew that she must not faint now, otherwise what awaits her is boundless hell.
Although she grew up in a nunnery since she was a child and had little contact with the outside world, she developed a simple and ignorant temperament, but she still has basic cognition.
How could she not see that they had bad intentions towards her?
Seeing them dragging the bloody knife towards him, Li Xin was so frightened that he stumbled away.
It's just that the road in the mountains and forests is difficult to walk, how can she, a delicate and weak little girl, outrun those Xianbei soldiers?
After a while, Li Xin's roads were outflanked, and several people forced her towards her with a cruel smile.
Even now, Li Xin still can't help but be flustered, his face is pale, and he is afraid when he recalls the scene at that time.
Jiang Rong's heart was even higher, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, staring at her nervously.
However, suddenly, a smile appeared at the corner of Li Xin's mouth, it was a happy and sweet smile, and the people present were stunned.
Didn't you talk about being about to be murdered by Xianbei soldiers? How can you still laugh?
Jiang Rong couldn't help but have black lines in her heart, could it be her father Jiang Yi next?
She guessed correctly, and what followed was a scene where the hero saved the beauty. Although the story is very old-fashioned, this happened to her own mother, she only felt lucky, and secretly shouted in her heart Long live Daddy! Daddy is mighty!
Just when Li Xin was full of despair, a sound of breaking through the sky through the clouds and the moon came, and then she heard a short scream.
When she looked over, the Xianbei soldier who was less than two steps away from her had a spear stuck in his body from back to front, and the tip of the spear penetrated straight through the chest of the Xianbei soldier, dripping with blood, trembling and humming.
You can see how fast this spear flies.
At this moment, several Xianbei soldiers were suddenly frightened, where can they still take care of the beauty? For a while, they were scattered as birds and beasts, and they fled for their lives in a panic.
However, before they could run away, a figure swept over, and with his backhand he pulled out the spear from the dead Xianbei man, picked up the spear and chased after it, killing the Xianbei people in a few clicks.
Li Xin sat down on the ground, looking at the corpse that fell not far in front of her in a daze, her eyes were blank and out of focus, and when she heard a sound of footsteps approaching, she suddenly came back to her senses and looked up.
I saw that it was a black-armored young man with a spear in his hand, the young man was tall, walking over step by step, with an indescribable sharp aura around his body, and there was still a demonic aura and murderous aura on his body that had not completely dissipated, which made people feel a chill.
His hair was tied high, no armor was on his head, and there were a few drops of bright red blood on his face, and a few strands of hair were messily attached to it, which made his face even more white as ice.
A pair of eyes were originally as dark as a pool, but the moment they saw Li Xin, they softened, and there were fine sparkling waves in them, which was indescribably beautiful.
Needless to say, this god-like teenager is our Jiang Rong's father, Jiang Yi.
Li Xin only knew that he was staring at him in a daze, and he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with him doing this.
However, Jiang Yi was a little uncomfortable to be looked at by her like this.
Then Li Xin heard a very nice voice ringing in his ears, "Don't be afraid, girl, it's okay now." ”
