Hearing the sound of the car pressing on the ground gradually moving away, Xiao Zhisu dragged her tired body to the mountain. She didn't forget that there were two pathfinders behind her, if she was discovered, wouldn't that be the same as sending sheep into the tiger's mouth? So the priority now is to stay away from them, as far away as possible.

Xiao Zhisu is now gray-faced, and the dust raised by the wind can choke her to death. In her previous life, after Qingli got into the carriage for her, she walked back, ran into Xiao Zhiyan's carriage, and the two went to Huguo Temple together. But in this life, what they took away was Xiao Zhiyan, that is to say, from the moment she got into Xiao Zhiyan's carriage, the trajectory of fate changed.

While she was pondering, Xiao Zhisu heard the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and after coming back to her senses, she was so frightened that she hurriedly ran into the deep maple forest.

The red maple that fell to the ground burned Xiao Zhisu's embroidered satin-embroidered shoes like a flame, and the sun was just right, and the long hair behind her rose lightly with her running movements. Because of the occasional turning back, a little fluttering crow hair brushed his cheeks, although a little embarrassed, but with an indescribable clear and beautiful spirit, like a mountain elf.

After running for a while, Xiao Zhisu stopped, bent over and gasped, she didn't know how far she had run, but when she looked back, she couldn't see the road outside.

After thinking about safety, Xiao Zhisu found a maple tree and sat cross-legged, wiped the sweat beads on her forehead with her sleeves casually, and used her left hand as a fan to fan it, while supporting her right elbow on her leg, holding her face in her palm, tilting her head to think. Before dark, she had to find a way to return to Huguo Temple or find Zhuohua and them, otherwise no matter what kind of moths would make if she didn't return overnight, she wouldn't be able to pass this level.

But the problem is that she doesn't know where she is now, although she can go back the way she came, but there is still some distance to Huguo Temple, and it seems a little difficult for her to walk up on two legs alone. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Zhisu didn't come up with any good ideas, so she decided to walk out of this maple leaf forest first.

On the other side, Zhuohua waited for the coachman to repair the carriage and rushed to the Huguo Temple in the afternoon, and Feiyu stood at the entrance of the temple, looking back and forth anxiously.

"Sister Feiyu, why are you standing here?" Zhuohua got out of the carriage, and saw that Feiyu's originally nervous expression eased a lot after seeing him, and he couldn't help but have some doubts.

"Zhuohua, you're here! Nine girls, what about them? ”

When Zhuohua heard this, she chuckled in her heart, and asked rhetorically, "Girl, she should have arrived early in Miss Yan's carriage?" Could it be ......" She was so shocked by her thoughts that she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Uncle Liu, please drive the carriage to the stable." Feiyu hurriedly held her hand, quietly made a silent gesture to her, and after greeting the coachman, she looked around before she whispered, "Don't make a noise first, come with me." ”

Feiyu took Zhuohua to the backyard wing, and in the simple and clean room sat Xie Yingqiao and Xue Shiyan.

When Xue Shiyan saw Zhuo Hua come in alone, a trace of surprise and fear crossed her narrow Danfeng's eyes, and before Xie Yingqiao could speak, she was already in a hurry, "Why are you alone?" Beautiful...... What about them? ”

After Xie Yingqiao glanced at Xue Shiyan with the tail of her eyes, she fixed her gaze on Zhuohua and said, "Zhuohua, what happened?" ”

"Madam, that's the ......" Zhuohua told them everything that happened on the road, and finally said worriedly, "It stands to reason that the girls should have arrived a long time ago." ”

"You mean, Su Su got into Yan'er's carriage?" Xue Shiyan's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she felt that someone poured a basin of cold water from her head, and her whole body was cold. The left hand was tightly clasped and the right hand was folded on the lap, anxious.

Zhuohua nodded, and asked cautiously, "Madam, but the girl had an accident on the way?" ”

"I can't make up my mind yet, my mother is still worshipping the Buddha, don't tell her about this matter first. In this way, Feiyu, you ask some of the family members to look for it first, and remember not to alarm others. Xie Yingqiao thought about it and quickly commanded. The two daughters' family got lost in this mountain, and it would be good to say if they were only delayed on the road, but if something happened, it would be over. It stands to reason that this official road leading to Huguo Temple should be very safe.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you." Xue Shiyan's eyes filled with tears, and she wrung her handkerchief and said.

"Grandma, what can you do, not only will it not be useful, but it will make everyone know! I know you're in a hurry, so go back to your room first, and I'll let you know as soon as there's news. Xie Yingqiao grabbed Xue Shiyan, who was eager to rush out, and said with relief.

Xue Shiyan wiped her tears and said, "But...... Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law. ”

After Zhuohua saw Xue Shiyan go out, he bit his lip, wondering whether to tell his wife what the girl had done, what kind of wishful thinking the girl was doing. Then after thinking about it, she is now a girl's girl, and there are some things that she can't talk about anymore. After thinking about it, he decided to wait and see, "Madam, then I will step back first." ”

"Well, let's go down." Xie Yingqiao rubbed her forehead and said depressedly.

There is a relatively clean courtyard in the north of the backyard of Huguo Temple, which is quite far away from the several courtyards of the temple for disciples to rest, but there are disciples guarding each gate inside, just because it is the world-famous Master Huikong who rests here. The master is the uncle of the abbot of Huguo Temple, and he is highly respected, even the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty must treat him with courtesy when he sees him.

Legend has it that this master is over 100 years old but still in good health, and he can observe the heavens and know everything, so there is the body of the golden Buddha that this wise master has cultivated, and he will die and return to the West when the time is right. The master likes to travel all over the world, and only when the maple leaves turn red in Qishan Mountain will he return to Huguo Temple for a few months every year, and at this time, many people will come to ask him and ask him about meditation together.

At this time, in the simple but clean room, Master Huikong had a chessboard in front of him, and on the opposite side, there was a clear and elegant man. He was dressed in embroidered white, half of his crow hair was crowned with purple jade, his handsome face was like cold jade, it was cold soaked in clear water, and his eyes were thin and traceless, so clear that he couldn't see any emotion, as if he didn't care about everything.

"Master, you've lost." Ruan Moxi's hand holding the ink-colored chess piece fell with a 'dang', the corners of his lips opened slightly, and he spit out a few words lightly.

Master Huikong, who was drinking tea, heard this, almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, put the tea cup on one side angrily, his eyes had seen the fall of the expectation clearly, and one hand had already begun to pick up the pieces on the chessboard, "Come again!" ”

Ruan Moxi stroked his forehead and smiled, as if he was a little helpless, "No matter how many games you play, this is the result, master, your chess skills have not improved after a year of wandering." ”

"You bastard, the old man shouldn't have saved you back then, that's it. If I had known today, I shouldn't have taught you chess! Master Huikong thumped his chest in great annoyance. After a while, he sat upright, but his expression was joking, "Your kid has been in a good mood lately, but what happy event has you encountered?" ”

"Master, can a monk also speak?" Ruan Moxi leisurely picked up the sunspots one by one and put them in the chess box.

"Boy, do you think I'm a fool?"

Ruan Moxi just raised his eyelids lazily and said unceremoniously, "Aren't you?" ”

"Nonsense! Boy, there is one more star next to your life star, since ancient times, husband and wife are one, husband is yang, wife is yin, yin and yang can only be revealed, what do you say is not a happy event? Master Huikong was so angry that he jumped to his feet, and accidentally poured out all his brains, only to realize after speaking, and slapped himself hard, "This mouth, why can't you control it!" Divulging the secret of heaven will be damned! ”

"Master, who can you tell about this so-called Yin Star?"

"Of course!" Master Huikong glanced at Ruan Moxi, who was smiling and pure, covered his mouth, and shook his head, "Don't say it!" I don't say anything about killing me. ”

"Master, I went up the mountain this time to prepare the orchid fragrance that I buried thirty years ago for you, and now it seems that the master doesn't need ......"

Before Ruan Moxi's words were finished, he was interrupted by Master Huikong's hurried voice, and his gaze at him was also unconfident, he had a sip of wine in his life, and now he said that if he didn't give him a drink, it wouldn't be his own life. "You have to do what you say!" Seeing his undeniable nod, he resigned himself to his fate, "I have to see someone to judge it, but this woman is a little weird, it's her and it's not her, in short, it's very weird." ”

"Master, the time is almost up, I'll go back first, I'll send this orchid fragrance later." Ruan Mo retired from the ceremony, and as soon as he left the courtyard, he saw Shaoyan waiting outside.
