When I pulled the arrow out of my shoulder, I thought I would die of pain, but after Takasaki left, I hesitated for a long time before gritting my teeth and relenting, and I broke the exposed arrow, and the arrow wound had become black and purple, and the whole left shoulder was numb with pain.

This is a catastrophe that I must survive now, and if I don't give up my mind for a while, I'm afraid that in a short time, the wound will begin to fester, and it may not be life-threatening now, but if I delay a little longer, I really can't guarantee that I will not die. Gritting his teeth, he stabbed the blade of the dagger into the wound in one breath, in this struggle I have forgotten the pain, I don't know why my body trembled so much, probably it still remembers the feeling that I forgot jì, the blade slowly squirmed in the wound, I powerlessly let the feeling of the sharp slowly cutting the flesh in the wound invade, that cut seemed to go through a hundred years of reincarnation.

When there was a loud sound, the arrow fell to the ground, the right hand holding the dagger was finally freed and drooped, the blood on the dagger spread along the stream, my breathing became heavier and heavier, and the left half of my body was stiff and unconscious, I put down the dagger and picked up the medicine bottle left by Takasaki, but I could only bite the cloth plug stuffed in the mouth of the bottle with my teeth, and even my mouth was so numb that I didn't feel it, once, twice, and finally bit the cloth plug and pulled it out successfully.

The white powder was sprinkled on the wound, and the burning sensation instantly hit me as if I had been thrown into a burning fire, and my vision became more and more blurred, and my body was weightless and turned to one side, and I fell to the ground on my back.

The mouth is dry and the head is getting heavier and heavier.

Before I lost consciousness completely, I was hoping that Takasaki would come back soon, I thought I could handle it well, but I ignored the body's original capacity, and I couldn't move, worried that I would be cold when he came back. I don't want to die twice in Beishao, in a place where there is Yuan Ying.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

I don't know how long I slept, but it was so noisy that the outside world was, and what was the sound, the loud and heavy sound that hit my consciousness again and again.

I couldn't bear it anymore, I forced to open my eyes, and it was pitch black all around, and there seemed to be a candlelight that was not bright flickering, where is this? I tried to move my body, and suddenly realized that I was not in a cave, and my instinctive sense of crisis suddenly shrouded me, and I couldn't help but worry about the unfamiliar Qiē in front of me, and my right hand moved first, the bed board under me was very hard, the beds were all coarse cloth, and there seemed to be a sandalwood fragrance in the room.

I moved my left hand, and I could still move, it didn't hurt as much as before, but I couldn't bear the feeling of slowly drilling into my heart. As if scented with herbs, I turned my head to find that the wound on my left shoulder had been bandaged.

"Looks like you're awake." The voice that appeared in this room was probably that of an old man in the middle of the year, and his tone was kind, not like a bad person.

He approached slowly, and the oil lamp on the table reflected a faint light, and I was the first to notice his robe. I hesitated for a moment, but I probably figured it out, "May I ask the master, this is the Cangyi Temple?" ”

"Exactly." He answered, turning the candlelight on so that the room could be seen a little more clearly.

But now I have a new question, I have lived in the temple for two days, I have deliberately observed the temple and the surrounding terrain, and learned about the monks in the temple, but I have never seen him, and I found this house very strange, "Master, this is the East Garden?" ”

The room where the monks of the East Garden of Cangyi Temple live is not much the same as the room in the West Garden for distinguished guests, it looks very simple, the monk in front of him is like half a hundred years old, and the wrinkles between his foreheads are very deep, but the robe on his body is different from the ordinary monks in the temple, he is not angry when he sees my suspicions, "Old man Qingyan, this is the scripture building of the East Garden, no one will come here on weekdays, and the county lord can rest assured that he is here to recuperate." ”

East Garden? Passage Building? Qing Yan?! But what surprised me even more was that he knew who I was!

"Tomorrow, Hui'er will deliver food, and she will come by the way to help the county lord change the medicine." The self-proclaimed master of Qingyan was not affected by my surprise, but completely ignored my attitude.

"Master Qingyan. Why am I here, and how do you know who I am? "Since he didn't mean to say it, but I had to ask, I always felt that this qiē was very strange.

"Heavenly Machine." Master Qingyan smiled calmly.

On the second day, I met Hui'er in the mouth of Master Qingyan, a little girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, who looked very simple, but unfortunately was mute, her fingertips had a thin layer of calluses, as if left when she lived and worked alone, I could only communicate with her simply, she was not very smart, but always with a warm smile.

"You live at the bottom of the mountain?" I asked her. She thought for a moment and nodded.

"What about your family?" I asked her again. This time she shook her head and babbled with her hands, but I couldn't quite understand, "Don't you have a family?" ”

She nodded, but with a smile, as if she had never felt the cruelty and reality of this world, living in the mountains, her personality was extraordinarily kind, and she was full of expectations for anything.

"Do you always come to bring food to Master Qingyan?" I was still skeptical, but there was no temptation, and now I was in the prayer building, a place that was absolutely forbidden for outsiders and would not be set foot in by monks, and I was seriously injured, and now I felt like I was trapped here.

She nodded again and grinned at me.

"Master Qingyan, where are you now?" I don't know if there are any secrets in this scripture building.

She reached out and pointed underneath. I kind of understood what she meant, "Downstairs? ”

She knew I understood, and looked very happy.

I lived in the Jinglou for about three or four days, and I never saw Master Qingyan again, but Hui'er would come two or three times a day to help me change the medicine and feed me, and feed me the bitter medicinal soup she boiled.

My wound healed day by day under Hui'er's care, and finally in the early morning of this day, I tried to get out of bed and walk around, and I still felt a slight feeling when I was involved in the wound, but it was not as painful as before.

I walked around the room for a while, out of the room, is the stairs down, the whole scripture building is about three floors, and I live on the top, there are two rooms on the lower floor, one is like a study, one is like Master Qingyan lived, and further down, the bottom layer is placed with rows of dozens of wooden shelves, on which are neatly placed all kinds of scriptures, I walked through it and roughly browsed, there are the original scriptures from the time of the Feng's relics, as well as various manuscripts and various scriptures between the four countries.

"Looks like you're almost better." I happened to collide with Master Qingyan, who was sorting out the scriptures, and he was not surprised to see me, putting the scriptures back on the shelf with one hand, still holding the rosary in the other, "Come, sit down and rest for a while." ”

In front of the westernmost window on the first floor, there are simple tables and chairs. Master Qingyan led me into the study on the second floor and sat down, his eyebrows were clear, as if he had been blessed by God.

"May I ask Master Qingyan, I wonder if anyone has ever come to me in the past few days since I was recuperating here?" It stands to reason that Yuan Ying should have received the news from Taifu two or three days ago and rushed back, I am missing near the Cangyi Temple, and it is impossible for him to let it go. And Takasaki, if he returns to look for me, he will naturally come to Cangyi Temple when he can't find me, but it seems that no one has been here in the past few days.

"Don't worry, the county lord." Master Qingyan said, took out a small brocade box from a hidden drawer in the bookcase, and placed it on the table in front of me, he spread out his palm and motioned for me to open it.

I was skeptical, and when I opened the brocade box, I saw a string of ink-colored beads in the middle. "What is this?"

"Zhaohua Jasper." After Master Qingyan finished speaking, he was not in a hurry to speak, but turned around and sat aside, and lit the curling green smoke in the incense burner before he said slowly, "This is the will of heaven." Since the day the county lord stepped into the Cangyi Temple, the poor monk has known that he is a nobleman. ”

In other words, the first day I came with the eldest princess, he already knew? Then I was fighting with the figure that looked like Takasaki in the East Garden, didn't he also guess it? "That"

"If the county lord asks about the fight that night, the poor monk does know." Master Qingyan told him calmly.

"I've always felt that someone helped me that night, but I don't know if it's a master?" Seeing that he didn't hide it, I suddenly asked directly.

Master Qingyan smiled, "The poor monk is a literati and doesn't know kung fu. However, there was indeed someone who helped the county lord that night, he was a close friend of the poor monk, and this thing was also handed over by the poor monk he entrusted, but he didn't want the county lord to know his identity. ”

"So, the person who helps me is really not Yu Wenzheng?" If it was Yuan Ying, he would never ask someone to transfer Zhaohua Jasper to me under such circumstances, nor would he deliberately hide it from me.

Master Qingyan only smiled, but didn't say anything, it seems that it is impossible for me to ask who it is.

I took the string of beads from the brocade box, but suddenly I felt an inexplicable emotion surging in my chest, extremely sad, and tears couldn't help but fall from my eyes, strangely, "This is, Yin Yu." ”

Master Qingyan seemed to have just knew, and he was a little surprised.

"I've seen yang jade, yang jade is clear rainbow color is warm, yin jade is dark blue color is cold." I picked up the string of beads and reflected the sunlight shining in through the window, each bead was translucent, indeed exuding a faint blue color, even if it reflected the warm sunlight, it still made people feel a deep chill. "Yang jade and yin jade, originally born on the same jade, rare, a piece of jade two colors, one warm and one cold, but, I seem to have seen yang jade, and I don't remember where I saw it."

But this yin jade, why do I also feel it? It's not like the feeling I once knew, but it's like it's been with me for a while, and before I have been in contact with it, I already know its chill, and why.

"According to legend, Yin jade and Yang jade were originally the treasures of the town and country of the phoenix, but unfortunately, in the more than 20 years of the phoenix's death, they were both lost. Now Yin Yu appeared in front of the county lord, and it was no accident. Master Qingyan said, "The county lord was brought here, and the same poor monk was a close friend who did not want to be known by the county lord, although the county lord himself pulled out the arrow, but the arrow was given a colorless and tasteless poison, when the county lord was dying, it was difficult to escape death, it was the effect of this Zhaohua jasper that saved you." ”

Is it Zhaohua Jasper? Why? No wonder I thought my wound was not fatal, but I passed out after pulling out the arrow, and I recovered so quickly in the past few days, and it turned out that the real cause was Zhaohua Jasper.

"However, I wonder if the county lord has Yang Yu with him?" Master Qing Yan seemed to be puzzled.

"Nope. I've only seen it, but I can't remember it. I don't know why he asked.

"The poor monk has checked all the records about Zhaohua jasper in this scripture building in the past few days, only when the yin and yang two jade are combined into one, it can have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, yin jade to cold, if it were not for the county lord's life and death on the day, the poor monk would never dare to rush to the rescue with yin jade, but he really can't understand why the county lord can absorb the effect of yin jade." In order to explain, Master Qingyan specially motioned for me to look at the two thick stacks of scriptures on the desk.

But I really don't remember anything about Zhaohua Jasper.

"However, there are scriptures inherited from Feng in these scriptures, and there are some records about Zhaohua jasper, but about the county lord." Master Qingyan's expression suddenly became solemn.

I felt uneasy, "What is it about me?" ”

"The last emperor of the reign of the phoenix relics gave the yin jade and the yang jade to two people." He seemed to stop halfway through, and he looked at me as if he was waiting for me to remember something.

But I don't know, I don't know anything, I just get more and more nervous, "Those two people, who are they?" ”

"Yin Yu was given to the then crown prince Yuan Ying. And Yang Yu" Master Qingyan paused again, he was hesitating whether to continue.

"Who did Yangyu give?" My heart was beating extremely fast, and when I heard Yuan Ying's name, I only felt that the thumping sound had unnaturally missed two beats, and I was anxious to know the answer.

Master Qingyan said word by word, "Lord Zhaohua." ”

Suddenly, I was a little dazed, took a deep breath, tried to stay awake for the last time, and confirmed to him what I had just heard, "Is it?" ”

"There is a record in the Fengyi Chronicle, Zhaohua County Lord Fuyin came to the world in accordance with the will of heaven, and the national teacher broke off the order, and the Fu family has a woman who will take the world, and the enchanting destiny of heaven will cause a lonely star. Fu Yin was born as the daughter of General Fu Yu, the deputy general of Fu Yu, and was ordered by the Son of Heaven to be punished. And the crown prince Yuan Ying lobbied the emperor, the emperor pointed to marry the prince, married the daughter of the Fu family on the day of adulthood, and gave Zhaohua Yin and Yang two jades, as a token, therefore, the lord of Zhaohua County, and the Fu family was named the king. ”

"So, at that time, I had a marriage contract with him?" The peace that I worked hard to maintain was finally broken by what Master Qingyan said, this is a story I didn't know, and Yuan Ying didn't mention it, but now my mood is very complicated, or happy, or sad, I know that Yuan Ying is bent on recovering the country, I have had a marriage contract with him, but it was my Fu family who betrayed Feng Yi, no wonder, he would hate the Fu family, hate Dongfu, and would single-handedly plan that palace change, it turned out that this qiē was unexpectedly

"You've had a fate with him, but it's just a flash. It's just that the fate of the past has passed, and the fate of the present is nothing more than an obsession that he is unwilling to let go. "Master Qingyan was at a loss when I was at a loss, like lighting a bright lamp, I looked up at him, but I didn't see the clarity between my eyebrows and eyes, and I was sad in vain." Love is born from the heart, hate is from the heart, love and hate are only between thoughts, anyone has had a time of confusion, but they are all people who have grown up slowly through the world, when they are quiet, do not let regret accompany them. ”

"Master, can you say that the eldest princess?" I had come to my senses when he said the first words, and then I could guess the remorse that accompanied him when I looked at him.
