Chapter 160 • Broken Temple
When Yan Wuji came to Ling Yin's mansion, as soon as Jin Hong calmed Yan Changfeng and fell asleep, the two of them nested in Jin Hong's house, lit a stove, and got a few taels of soju, and drank comfortably.
"I'm not going to hide it, I'm here to ask you for help." Two sips of hot wine went down, and the chill all over his body disappeared in an instant, Yan Wuji put down his wine glass, put his hands on the stove and rubbed them together.
"What?" Jin Hong opened his mouth and said: "If it is a matter of civil affairs, of course I am duty-bound, but if it is a matter of military funds, I have encountered some difficulties here for the time being, and I can't hide it, just last night, I don't know why all the silver in the treasury disappeared overnight." ”
In front of Yan Wuji, Jin Hong has always said things that know the roots, and he has no reservations at all, but what he didn't expect was that after Yan Wuji heard the news, he was also shocked, "Your silver is gone?" ”
At this time, the two knew that the person who had stolen the silver last night was not only himself, but the entire place where the silver was collected in the Dingshui pile, and all of them were thieves.
"How is this good, I also said let your people help find out who did it, and where was the silver transported, I thought that even if you can't find it out for the time being, you can also move some fixed water to temporarily make up for this shortage, and when the silver is found, make up for it, but now in this situation, do you have the certainty of solving the case within three days?" Yan Wuji's words began to become a little anxious, because before he thought that there was a supplement of Dingshui's Suiyin, and the silver would definitely be distributed to the soldiers as scheduled, and it would not have any impact on the overall morale, but now that Dingshui's Suiyin was gone, he really didn't know what to do.
"Brother Wuji, don't worry, my side has already arranged for someone to start investigating this matter, and I am here to Dingshui, which is to supervise the military supplies from Shuzhou to the north, to ensure the logistics supply of the soldiers in Dingzhou, within three days, I will put a lot of silver back to the Chengxi Military Reserve." Jin Hong also knew that this matter was very important, so he couldn't play with it, so he seriously assured Yan Wuji.
Yan Wuji also felt that the appearance just now was a little too embarrassing for Jin Hong, and couldn't help but pat Jin Hong's shoulder apologetically, "I know you are also embarrassed, but this matter is related to the morale of tens of thousands of generals in the trapped army, and now the situation in Dingzhou is erosive, I just received news that Gu Shuai's troops have withdrawn from the clouds to Dingping, and now our trapped army has become a team that encounters the Humeng people head-on, so at this critical juncture, I can't let the trapped army have the slightest mistake, I hope you can understand this mood." ”
Jin Hong nodded, but he didn't speak, he poured himself a glass of wine, he suddenly felt that the brotherhood between him and Yan Wuji had become no longer so pure, if it was Yan Wuji before, he would definitely say: "If you are difficult, don't force it, I'll think of a way here." ”
But now ......, don't want to, maybe people who have experienced growth will eventually become like this, they don't actually have the intention to ignore the original precious friendship, but unconsciously, the other things they fancy are in the middle of this friendship, so if you want to touch this friendship, it is inevitable to touch these things first.
"I'm sorry, I'm ......" also seemed to notice Jinhong's sudden depression in mood, Yan Wuji wanted to say something to explain, but found that this was just trying to cover up, because until now, he still put the issue of military spending in the trap army in the first place.
Jinhong smiled, "This is my duty, I have no shirk responsibility, Brother Wuji, don't think about it, I was just worried about Changfeng just now." ”
"Well, that's good, Changfeng there, I won't visit, after all, it's inconvenient, you can help me bring a message, let her cultivate well, otherwise I'll be my brother, but I'll be worried that I won't sleep well, and you, it's freezing this day, and the girl herself is afraid of the cold, you have to take care of her for me, otherwise my brother and I will serve with my fist, understand?" Yan Wuji shook his fist in front of Jinhong viciously in the tone of his childhood, but he laughed again in an instant, such a kind of laughter, such a kind of relaxation, he couldn't experience it in front of others, even in the face of Liu Zhilan and Zhang Erhu, he couldn't let go of all of himself.
And Jin Hong on the other side also smiled happily when he saw this, no matter what kind of position his childhood friendship was in Yan Wuji's heart now, at least judging from his behavior, he was still thinking about it.
After sending Yan Wuji away, Jin Hong calmed down and sorted out the theft of silver, originally he wanted to stay in the house for a few days, accompany Yan Changfeng well, and wait until she was well, and then worry about things here, but now it seems that the trapped army can't wait for that time.
"Changfeng, I have something to go out for, I guess I won't come back later, you have a good rest, I'll let the maid bring the food to your room in the evening, you must eat, you can't go hungry, you know?" Jin Hong came to Yan Changfeng's room and sat beside her, like a little old man, chattering, chattering, chattering, no rest.
But Yan Changfeng didn't show the slightest impatience, but listened carefully, nodded obediently, and his face was full of smiles.
"Then I'll go first." Jin Hong stood up.
Yan Changfeng nodded, still looking at him.
Jin Hong smiled back, and then slowly walked out of the door, but at the moment he left the door, his figure suddenly became nothing, and a cold wind blew, and the phantom suddenly turned into wisps of extremely martial energy visible to the naked eye, and quickly drifted away in the air.
Dust realm, as far as the eye can see, the end of the world!
Jin Hong stood outside the treasury, a person just closed his eyes quietly, time passed minute by minute, and several messengers in the distance who were responsible for guarding this place glanced at this place from time to time, but because Jin Hong had greeted them in advance, they did not dare to come over without Jinhong's order, they could only watch from a distance.
When a crystal clear snowflake swayed and wanted to float in front of Jinhong's eyes, the closed eyes suddenly widened, and the figure shook, and a wisp of afterimage with an extremely martial aura jumped out of the northwest courtyard wall, and then disappeared into the vastness.
"When did Lord Ling Yin leave?" A little official who was gnawing on steamed buns stretched out a head from the corner and glanced inside curiously, he wanted to know what this mysterious Ling Yin was doing, but at this glance, where was there still Jinhong's figure, there were only snowflakes falling slowly, and the snow piled up higher and higher.
"Gone? I didn't see it! Another little official also stretched out his head to take a look, there was indeed no one, and he couldn't help scratching his head, trying to remember if Lord Ling Yin had gone out of here just now, and then shook his head again, "I really didn't see it." ”
Coming back to this, that thing though puts itself
The breath is well hidden, and it can hardly even be felt, but it's a pity that the opponent it met is Jinhong, and it is Jinhong who has just broken through to the realm of dust.
Jin Hong followed the breath all the way to the south, until he chased more than ten miles to the southeast of the city before stopping, because when he arrived here, he found that the breath was suddenly broken, and what appeared in front of him was a broken temple that had been in disrepair for a long time, one side of the temple door had been scattered into several pieces, falling on the bluestone slab in front of the door, and the other side was still hanging swaying, with a cold wind blowing, "crunching" and ringing.
Entering the temple gate, Jin Hong found that the temple is actually not big, the right side of the entrance is a room with two wings, but at this time the roof has collapsed and collapsed, obviously there is no longer a person to live, the left is a piece of withered weeds, there are one or two flowers and trees in the middle of the weeds, and there is even a plum blossom in it, which is blooming happily at this time, and a plum blossom fragrance faintly rushes in, it smells very good.
Directly in front is a large hall dedicated to the Lord of the Buddha, an intact gold plaque hangs directly above the main hall, with the four big characters of "Daxiong Treasure Palace" written on it, which looks very majestic, but with the broken windows and tiles around it, it really makes these words a lot cheaper.
Jin Hong raised his feet and walked in, there was no trace of the doors and windows in the front, so the furnishings inside were clear at a glance, in the center of the whole hall, there was a golden Buddha statue, curly like a mountain-like hair and chest symbols, giving people the first feeling that here is enshrined the Supreme of the West Heaven, the great day is coming.
Jin Hong didn't have much research on these gods, gods and ghosts, only knew that in the Buddhist classics, there was a record of such a supreme Venerable in the Buddhist world, but he only knew, and now that he saw it, he didn't even bother to do it when he stepped forward to make a move, not that he had contempt for these religious beliefs, but that he didn't believe in them.
Looking left and right, there was nothing else here except for the golden Buddha and a few wisps of dry grass blown in by the wind, and he continued to walk around the back of the Buddha statue, but he didn't find anything here, but one thing is more strange is that the ground here is much cleaner than all around, as if someone spent the night here, and the dust on the ground has been swept to the side by the clothes on his body.
Jin Hong stepped forward and squatted down, knocked on the ground with his fingers, and there was no empty sound as he expected, and then knocked in all directions around, and the sound that came into his ears was still solid, and he got up and rubbed his knuckles that were a little painful, and said to himself: "It seems that I guessed wrong, there is no secret passage down here, but why is that breath gone when it comes here?" ”
"And this temple, it doesn't seem to be inappropriate, but it always feels a little weird, but I can't say it." Jin Hong retreated to the outside of the main hall and looked at it carefully, although he just felt that this temple was strange, but what was strange, he couldn't say, seeing that the twilight was gradually sinking, and the cold wind near the night was whistling in his ears more unscrupulously.
"Well, let's go back and ask about the origin of this temple first, and then come back tomorrow to find out." Thinking like this, Jin Hong walked out of the temple gate quickly, walking in the direction of Dingshui City, just when his figure just disappeared into the vast snow, a slightly old cough came out of the temple, adding a strange color to this quiet world.
