Chapter 21: The Old Man Meets

At this time, facing Luo Xiaotian, who was at a loss in the face of the high wall, he swayed back and forth a few times. Finally, in a corner, a large bush of cattail leaves was found. A few of the stout green vines grew along the fence, and the whole one hung down from the courtyard over the wall.

Luo Xiaotian shook his shoulders and moved his muscles. Grabbed the green vine and checked it to see if it was firm. After making sure that it was safe, he grabbed Qingteng, kicked lightly with both feet, and rose into the air, climbing up towards the high wall with his hands and feet staggered.

Although he didn't learn the art of volleying, he relied on the mental method he learned secretly. It was also easy and easy, and I climbed the wall in three or two clicks.

Luo Xiaotian, who climbed the high wall, half-squatted on the wall and observed for a while, and was surprised to see the situation in the courtyard. As he expected, this was not a serious temple at all.

When the people in the courtyard dispersed, and the courtyard was empty. Luo Xiaotian cautiously jumped off the high wall and landed in the courtyard. Looking around, only the door of the main hall was open, and for fear of being discovered, he dodged in.

Just as he dodged into the main hall, his hind feet hidden. At this time, in the side door of the courtyard, several old monks were leading the black gauze woman slowly towards the main hall.

Hearing that someone was coming, Luo Xiaotian moved lightly and hid behind the pillars of the main hall with agility.

The footsteps are getting closer. When I was young, several old monks had already arrived at the door. He stopped, stepped aside, and respectfully saluted the black gauze woman who followed.

The woman in black gauze walked into the gate of the main hall, turned around and nodded to a few old monks. The old monk bowed his head in tacit agreement, lowered his eyebrows, and turned around and retreated. Only the black gauze woman was left alone, and when she turned her head and looked back, she walked lightly towards the big Buddha above the main hall.

This big Buddha sits upright in front of him, with a lotus golden body. It is as if sitting in the ethereal clouds, overlooking the vast living beings on earth from the heavenly realm.

Walking in front of the Buddha, the woman in black gauze took off her hat, knelt down at the knees of the Buddha with her hands folded, and recited sincerely and silently: "The Buddha is merciful, and the little woman sincerely bows, asks for a wish, and prays for the Buddha's grace." Please ask the Buddha to bless this operation with a smooth operation, the safety of the disciples, and help the widow to be rehabilitated and enjoy this life in peace. ”

The voice stopped, and the black gauze woman bowed three times. A trace of haze flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to have unfinished words in her heart, and continued to say silently: "Buddha, the little woman still has a long-cherished wish in her heart. When I fulfill my father's ambition, it is also the wish of the orphans. I want to get rid of all karma, worldly attachments, and hatred in my heart. I only ask the Buddha to give me a fate, and then I will meet Brother Xiaotian, and from then on I will be with him physically and mentally, and I will accompany him at the end of the world. ”

After that, knock three more songs, fold your hands, and raise your eyes to look at the Buddha.

The black gauze woman at this time: her eyes are like apricots, and she is in the autumn waves. Compared with the cold demeanor before, it is like two people.

Just when she raised her head and looked closely, the black gauze woman in front of her turned out to be Chen An'an.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

"An An, the Buddha seems to have appeared."

Luo Xiaotian, who was originally hiding behind the column, heard the familiar voice, and already understood in his heart that it was Chen Anan who knelt in front of the Buddha and prayed. So he appeared and came out and walked to the middle of the main hall. With his hands behind his back, he looked at Chen An'an's back, and the corners of his mouth curved into an arc and smiled.

When he met Chen Anan here, Luo Xiaotian was also surprised. But Chen An'an in Lingyang City is brutal and willful, clever and timid; Chen An'an in Kyoto City is cold and harsh, with hatred in his heart. Is this a woman? Is it sunny when you open your eyes, but it's cloudy when you close your eyes? When Luo Xiaotian was thinking about these at that time, his heart felt as if someone had put a piece of thousand-year-old ice, and he shivered.

But he didn't know that Chen Anan was actually a dual personality, and all of this was related to her childhood experience.

Chen An'an in front of him has obviously been affected by the environment he is in, and has completely become a person that Luo Xiaotian does not know.

Hearing someone shouting behind him, Chen Anxin was stunned. The familiar voice made her face flush with pink. Her heart seemed to be beaten into a small drum by the person behind her, thumping.

Chen Anan shook his head, raised his eyebrows, turned his head leisurely, and the flashing light in his eyes fell on Luo Xiaotian. Zhu lips opened lightly, and blurted out in surprise: "Brother Xiaotian......"

Luo Xiaotian's footsteps moved lightly and walked towards Chen An'an: "Haha, it seems that the Buddha in this temple is also effective." An An, long time no see! ”

Seeing Luo Xiaotian walking towards him, Chen Anan suddenly became nervous. There was a panic in his heart, and his eyes were deliberately evasive, and his face was replaced with a panicked expression. It was as if it was a flower that had just been about to bud and bloom, and at this moment it instantly retracted its outstretched petals. She turned her head away and said coquettishly, "Don't come here!" ”

Luo Xiaotian stopped, smiled bitterly and said, "This is very similar to you in Lingyang City, I thought I recognized the wrong person." Seeing that she didn't answer, she took a few steps forward, "None of the things you said can be helped by the Buddha, and there is only this temple in the entire Kyushu." With so many selfish thoughts in my heart, I have no connection with the Buddha. An An, let go, come with me, get out of this place, you don't belong here. ”

Luo Xiaotian's eyes showed concern.

Chen Anan glanced back at him, love and guilt flashed in his eyes, and then his eyes were firm and said: "I'm not for myself, it's for all the captives and orphans." I just want them to live a normal life on this land. It's not my selfish desires, you're wrong! ”

Seeing Chen An'an's appearance, Luo Xiaotian was anxious, and he wanted to persuade her: "Taking the lives of so many people, including yours, is the selfish desire of some people." You have been taken advantage of, to take advantage of your hatred, to take advantage of the hope of your hearts. ”

"Don't say that, Daddy!" Chen An'an frowned, and glared at Luo Xiaotian angrily: "If it weren't for him, I would have died on the streets of Lingyang City when I was four years old." Do you remember the little girl I was talking about? That little girl was me, watching her parents die at the hands of the sabers of the Nanyu soldiers. It was my father who brought me home, spoiled me, let me do whatever I wanted, and didn't blame me. I like Nanyu, and I hate Nanyu. I also think that I am Chen An'an, who just met Brother Xiaotian. ”

I have never heard Chen Anan tell this, in Luo Xiaotian's impression, she is a kind girl who is rude and willful, unreasonable. But now, due to her love-hate relationship with Nanyu and the shadow of her childhood, she has become two people.

Luo Xiaotian had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while. He walked up to Chen An'an, took her hand and said, "You come with me!" ”

Regardless of whether Chen Anan was willing or not, he took her and ran outside the hall.

Chen An'an was conflicted in his heart at the moment, and he wanted to resist Luo Xiaotian at all, but his body involuntarily followed.

In the courtyard outside the temple, in a remote corner. Chen Anan glanced around, and asked in a daze, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”

"It's nothing, it's too dark inside, it's so bright here, look at the sun." Luo Xiaotian pointed to the sky outside the high wall and continued, "By the way, I climbed in from this high wall just now. Everyone said that the demon boy was a god, but I almost gnawed a mouthful of grass. ”

Chen An'an's cold expression didn't hold back, and he couldn't help but hide his face and smile, and said, "It turns out that you are afraid of the dark, and you are still a thief from Lingyang City." ”

Hair thief - these two words, how kind to them. Although it is not a good word, it contains too many dangerous experiences in Lingyang City.

"Yes, I'm really afraid of the dark, especially the darkness in my heart." Luo Xiaotian's words were insinuating, and he looked at Chen An'an beside him. The sun fell right on her face, smiling and full of life. Luo Xiaotian also smiled and continued: "I think you and the little junior sister are quite similar, they are both spoiled. Every time I see her, I think of you. ”

"Is it appropriate to say this in front of a girl's house?" Chen An'an turned his face sideways, stared at Luo Xiaotian, and said willfully: "Chen An'an is Chen An'an, but not your little junior sister." ”

"Little junior sister will say the same thing, haha." Luo Xiaotian laughed, and his expression returned to calm: "I'll take you away and get out of here." ”

"Are you out? And you want to take me up that high wall? Chen Anan looked at Luo Xiaotian with disdain, a little naughty.

Luo Xiaotian didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled. The first time I climbed the wall was to take Chen An'an, and now that I think about it, the two were really embarrassed at that time.

Chen An'an, who was next to him, fell into deep thought at this time, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

"I can't go, Brother Xiaotian, you can go. Daddy's wish, I haven't fulfilled it for him. ”

Originally, he thought that the agile Chen An'an was back, but now seeing her resolute eyes, Luo Xiaotian shook his head helplessly.

"The city of Kyoto is well controlled, and the elite soldiers will guard it heavily. It is impossible to succeed with only a few dozen of you, and you can't even save your life, do you think I will let you take the risk? ”

Luo Xiaotian had an expression of swearing.

Chen Anan looked at Luo Xiaotian, his eyes were hazy, and his eyelashes were closed.

"Daddy's nurturing grace, I am willing to repay with my life. I did these things willingly, and it was also to let go of my demons. When I was a child, I always had nightmares, and my father was always by the bedside. When I grew up and got used to those nightmares, he realized that it was my inner demon, and I had to cut it myself to avoid being devoured by it. So this operation, he didn't stop me either. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you're going to take advantage of the Lantern Festival to assassinate the emperor. But have you ever killed someone? Kill the emperor, the old demons may be cut off, but the new demons will also come out. If the Imperial Court knew your identity, do you think they would spare the captive villagers? Little spring treasure, petunia and wheat ear...... What to do, have you ever thought about these ......"

"Shut up!" Before Luo Xiaotian finished speaking, Chen Anan was already angered by his words. His eyebrows were squeezed together, his chest rose and fell, and he clenched the sword in his hand hard: "No one knows the plan of action, and no one will know that we did it, except for you!" Are you going to let me kill you now? ”

As soon as the words fell, Luo Xiaotian suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the sword in Chen An'an's hand, and pulled it out, and the sword body volleyed out of the air. A cold light suddenly appeared, and the sun shook so that people couldn't open it.

Luo Xiaotian took the sword and pulled out a sword flower in his hand. Then he threw it out of his hand and threw it in the air. The head and tail of the sword body flipped over, and then the tiger's mouth immediately caught it upward, and then quickly raised the sword with one hand, horizontally between the two of them. The hilt of the sword was facing Chen An'an, and the blade of the sword was facing him.

"You can kill me now, take the sword—" Luo Xiaotian said calmly and loudly.

Chen Anan was stunned for a while and stood in place. She glanced at Luo Xiaotian, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.

Just as the two were at a stalemate, a young monk suddenly appeared at the door with a wooden barrel in his hand. saw Chen An'an with tears in his eyes, and was being drawn by a stranger. The little monk threw down the bucket in a panic and ran outside in a panic, shouting: "Save the young master!" Savior—"
