Section 688 Nine-colored deer
The market is full of people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Shan Fei stood in front of the vendor of the old fritters, and did not pay attention to the people around him. It wasn't until the man suddenly reached out and took away the balm that the old fritter was holding, and Shan Fei turned his head with a slight surprise.
It was an exotic girl who spoke.
The girl's eyes were as beautiful as sapphire, and her body was delicate, and she looked no more than twenty-eight years old. At first glance, the girl is very innocent and playful, but her gestures are elegant, and she smiles like a flower, which is really gorgeous and extraordinary.
Seeing Shan Fei coming, the girl was not as subtle as the Central Plains woman, but looked at Shan Fei a little "aggressively" and said, "I'm looking for ...... Look for...... I've been seeing this balm for a long time, and I haven't seen it until today, and I don't want it to be the same as what I saw in my dreams. She also spoke in the Central Plains, although it was a little stiff, but her silver bell-like voice added to the exotic style of words.
The old fritter was surprised, secretly thinking that this balm was made of a mixture of fragrant wood gum and medicinal herbs, although there were many processes, but it was not a rare thing in the Guishan Bazaar, and this bazaar was definitely not his family selling this balm. This girl doesn't seem to be an uncommon woman, but what does that mean?
"You...... You ......" The girl looked at Solo Fei's blankness, and said with a smile: "You...... Will you give me this balm? ”
Shan Fei didn't plan to buy the balm, but he smiled when he heard this: "If the girl likes it, just buy it." ”
The maiden happily picked up the ointment, but did not pay the bill.
Seeing this, the old fritter said on the side: "Just give this balm to the girl." When he turned his eyes, he had already seen that the woman was wearing a blood-red bracelet on her wrist, and recognized that it was a rare bracelet made of phoenix blood, which could not be worn by the rich and noble people who were not Guishan.
He is a sleek person, knows the benefits of befriending powerful people, and it doesn't hurt to use a balm as a personal favor.
Shan Fei couldn't help but wonder when he saw that the girl was just looking at him. He knew that he never knew this girl, and he was not so handsome that people would become at first sight, but this woman looked like this, and obviously had some thoughts about him. He didn't know what this woman thought, but he didn't think it would be a wine nursery, a meal nursery, or something like that. He had just arrived in Guishan and didn't want to cause any trouble. Turning his head, Shan Fei felt that the girl's eyes had never left, but he pretended not to know: "Your Excellency...... Name? ”
He asked the stall owner, and secretly thought that he had finally met someone who could speak Zhongyuan, and some things must be asked to understand.
The old fritter hurriedly said: "There is a Chinese name called ...... down there Know it all. ”
"Good name." Shan Fei liked it even more when he heard this name, and asked softly: "Mr. Wan has such a name, it must be that everything in the world is unknown." ”
Jack-of-all-trades have a well-deserved feel.
Shan Fei asked: "You just said that those monks are the holy monks of the Tongxuan Temple in Mingguang Mountain, but you don't know what you are doing here?" ”
The know-it-all looked at Solo Fei with disgust, "Holy monk...... It's a joke. When you came to Lucheng with those holy monks, how could you ask what you were going to do next? ”
Solo Fei also felt a little uncomfortable, and smiled: "You might as well guess what they are going to do?" ”
Know-it-all felt that this young man was strange everywhere, but for the sake of the holy monk, he finally said: "The holy monk has never interacted with earthly people, and now he is descending the mountain on such a scale, and according to what he can see, he should go to Peshawar to see the lord of Kushan." His eyes lit up, and he patted his forehead and said, "Maybe it was because the lord of the country summoned them to go down the mountain?" It is said that the holy monks have infinite mana, maybe it is because the lord of the Kushan Kingdom has a law for them to do? ”
Shan Fei saw the way the know-it-all racked his brains, and felt that this person's guess was not necessarily reliable, and he was groaning, when the girl next to him suddenly said, "I know what the holy monk does." ”
Shan Fei turned his head and saw the girl's slightly sly eyes, and he couldn't decide whether to ask for a while.
"Why don't you ask? Are you afraid that I will lie to you? The girl chuckled softly.
Shan Fei frowned secretly, and finally said, "The girl laughed." If the girl could know and tell me, I would be very grateful. ”
The girl stared at Shan Fei for a long time, and when she saw Shan Fei's slightly embarrassed appearance, she covered her mouth and smiled: "I don't want you to seem to be a gentleman in the Central Plains." ”
Shan Fei smiled: "The girl has won the prize." Because of the morning rain, when he first saw Sun Shangxiang, he deliberately kept his distance. Seeing that this girl was familiar with him at first sight, he felt strange in his heart, but he only thought that this girl might have a good impression of the Central Plains, and he didn't think much about it.
"Have you ever heard of the legend of the Nine-Colored Deer?" The girl said suddenly.
Shan Fei was slightly stunned, and only said after a while: "I know a little, but most of it is not as detailed as the girl's, and it may not match what the girl wants to say at all." ”
When he saw the king and the people, he seldom lied to them. In the face of such an innocent girl, he didn't want to lie. What's more, he knew that although the girl's demeanor seemed to be unworldly, her eyes as deep as sapphire revealed wisdom to some extent.
"You've also heard the legend of the nine-colored deer?" The girl was pleasantly surprised: "Why don't you tell me about it?" ”
Shan Fei pondered for a long time, and then said: "Legend has it that there is a nine-colored deer in the world, which is extremely psychic, and it saved a drowning man, but was framed by the drowning man. The drowning man told the lord about the nine-colored deer, and the queen knew about it, and the queen wanted to peel off the nine-colored deerskin for a coat...... And the drowning man personally led the men and horses to catch the nine-colored deer......"
Seeing that the girl covered her mouth and showed a surprised and funny look, Shan Fei knew that what he said was wrong, and said with a smile: "The legends are mostly false, and there is probably a problem with my version." ”
"It's good." The girl finally restrained her smile and said seriously, "I want to hear the ending of this story." ”
Shan Fei said after a while: "At the end of the story, the nine-colored deer told the king the truth of the matter, and the king still had a conscience, and rebuked the treacherous drowning man, and the drowning man drowned again in shame, and the greedy queen did not get the deerskin, and died of heartbreak. ”
He is talking about the story told in "The Bunsen Picture of the Deer King".
"The Deer King Bunsen" is a mural painting of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, which tells a series of stories. According to research, it should be painted by Buddhist figures in Dunhuang in the Central Plains during the Northern Wei Dynasty.
This group of murals is mostly about greed, hatred, ignorance, impermanence and suffering. Solo Fei thought that although this place was Guishan, it was also close to India. Could it be that there is also this story of Indian Buddhism in Kushan today? can see the girl's expression, he knows that his story may be a little problematic.
After listening to the ending, the girl stood there for a long time before saying, "Most of the people who made up this story want to persuade people to be good, and those who can remember this story ...... It's definitely not going to be bad. ”
Looking at Solo Fei, the girl pursed her lips and smiled: "But what I want to say is very different from what you said." ”
"Listen to me." Shan Fei laughed.
The girl explained: "Legend has it that this ancient time ago faced a shocking catastrophe of annihilation, and one of the most prosperous ancient cities of the Poison Country was completely destroyed by that disaster, and tens of thousands of people were destroyed. ”
Solo Fei was shocked in his heart.
The girl always paid attention to Solo Fei's expression, and immediately said, "You also know about this?" ”
Is this girl talking about the past of India's dead hills?
Shan Fei had talked about this matter with Wei Boyang and Sun Shangxiang at the beginning, and knew that this was done by Chi You, and when he heard the girl mention it, he couldn't help but pay attention.
Seeing that the girl was looking at herself seriously, Shan Fei could only say, "I heard a little." ”
The girl couldn't help but smile again, "You've really heard a lot." Then you...... Have you heard of ......" she wanted to say something, and finally returned to the topic: "The catastrophe that was originally like a poisonous ancient city is also going to come here, I heard that the people here have smelled the breath of death at that time, but fortunately, a goddess rode a nine-colored deer to come here and saved the people here, which made the ancient ancestors here extremely grateful." It's just that the goddess refuses to let people stand up and worship, and the people here express their gratitude and miss, so they build a deer city here to remember. ”
"What's the name of the goddess?" Flying solo, my heart beats.
The girl stared at Shan Fei's eyes and said word for word: "That goddess is originally a character from the Central Plains, called the Nine Heavens Xuannu. ”
Although he expected it, his face still changed slightly when he heard the words. This girl said Xuanqi, but he already understood it to some extent - Chi You's plan to destroy the world seemed to include the whole world, but after Chi You destroyed the people in Death Hill, the next plan was blocked by the Nine Heavens Xuannu?
"Do you know the Nine Heavens Xuannu?" The girl's beautiful eyes were full of anticipation.
Shan Fei really didn't know what she was expecting, but said, "I heard a little." ”
The girl sighed faintly, as if she was lost, but then smiled and said: "However, although there is no statue of the goddess here, there is a statue of the goddess in the Tongxuan Temple of Mingguang Mountain, and it is rumored that the monks of the temple are very related to the goddess, and they can also understand the mind of the goddess." ”
When she said this, she paid attention to Shan Fei's expression for a moment, and then took a long time before she continued: "I...... The lord of the Kushan kingdom had seen the miracles of the goddess, and had been helped by the goddess's apparitions, and knew that the goddess did not like to be public, and even forbade the ignorant worship of the world. Although the King of Guishan regarded the monks of Tongxuan Temple as the monks who protected the country, he did not dare to blaspheme with extravagance, because although the monks there were important, they had always been stationed in the temple, but they did not look as noble as the monks of the temple next to Guishan. These monks of Tongxuan Temple will not leave Mingguang Mountain easily, and there is only one thing that would make them behave like this......"
Seeing that the girl didn't continue to speak, Shan Fei couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" ”
The girl looked around and whispered, "This matter is very important. ”
"Huh?" Shan Fei frowned slightly, Xin Dao just saw you so loudly, and he didn't seem to care about it, how did he become cautious now.
"But you're not an outsider, so it's okay for me to tell you." The girl Yingying smiled: "But this matter must not be known to others anymore." ”
Jack-of-all-trades looked around, thinking that the outsider here is me? He turned his head in amusement, but he still pricked up his ears. He only knows the past of Lucheng, but he really doesn't know the secret of Tongxuan Temple, and he really wants to hear this secret.
The girl was still not at ease, and stretched out her white slender hand to greet Shan Fei and said, "You come closer, I will only tell you one person." ”
Solo Fei was secretly on guard, but stepped forward with a smile.
"It's ......"
The girl was still afraid that others would hear it, so she also stepped forward and didn't shy away from being suspicious to get to Solo Fei's side.
Shan Fei was listening to the past in vigilance, and was stunned. Not only him, but also the people who came and went in the market were straight-eyed. Jack-of-all-trades look even more like idiots.
At this moment, time and space seem to be condensed, and there is a bright spring......
The girl's mouth opened slightly, and before she finished speaking, her red lips had gently kissed Shan Fei's cheek.
