Chapter 123: Don't ask about cause and effect
I don't know if Jing Xuzi wanted to drive him away from Lingdu Temple, which angered Nayu, or if he was reminded by the middle-aged Taoist priest that he was really worried that Lai Xing'er would take people to return. After listening to the words of the middle-aged Taoist priest, Na Yu couldn't help but stop, leaned over again, and wanted to help Li Shu get up from the ground, and asked, "Your Highness, you get up and try it first, see if it works?" ”
Li Shu was happy to see that Na Yu was persuaded by the middle-aged Taoist priest to change his mind, so he stood up tremblingly with Na Yu's support, and was able to stand firmly. ”
Since Na Yu decided to leave, he naturally had to think about the safety of the two of them on the road, and was not in a hurry to take Li Shu away, but said to the middle-aged Taoist priest with a smile: "Dao Chief, the patient is weak, can you allow him to rest for a while before leaving." On behalf of the two of us, the Dao Elders of Jingxuzi and the Dao Masters of the Vacant Sky would like to thank them for their kindness in accepting and treating them, and if there is a chance in the future, we will personally come to Guanzhong to thank them both in person. ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest's mind was also quite transparent, and he understood that Na Yu didn't want people to see which way the two chose to leave, so he made a mockery of Na Yu and said, "Good, good." Since the girl is willing to take this benefactor away from the Buddha, she has made a merit for the Buddha. Poor Dao will take people back to report this matter to the host, I hope the two of them can have a smooth journey and arrive at their destination safely as soon as possible. With that, he turned around and greeted his companions, and more than a dozen Taoist priests followed him back to Lingduguan to pay tribute to Jingxuzi.
Seeing the backs of the Taoist priests disappearing, Na Yu told the female Taoist boy a few more words, asking her to thank and bid farewell to Li Tengkong on her behalf, and sent her into the courtyard to close the courtyard door, then turned around and supported Li Shu, and chose the only way up the mountain.
"Sister, where are you going to take the Lone King?" Li Shu couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that Na Yu was helping him not to go down the mountain, but to go up the mountain.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten how you were caught by the officers and soldiers? At this time, if we go down the mountain, we are sick and injured, and we can't walk three or five miles, and we will fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers again. At present, only by finding an unexpected path for the officers and soldiers can they temporarily avoid their round-up. In addition, let's go to the mountains to avoid it, and we can also take care of your illness, so as not to be cured of a serious illness and overwork, which will lead to the recurrence of old diseases. ”
Li Shu heard that Na Yu was reasonable, so he stopped talking, and let Na Yu half-support himself, and staggered towards the top of the mountain.
From Lingdu to Tiantai, but four or five miles of mountain road, Na Yujia supported Li Shu, and it took nearly two hours to climb up sweating.
Even though they were tired and out of breath, when the two of them stood side by side on the rooftop, blown by the oncoming night breeze, they did not feel the cold and unbearable, but felt a sense of relief in their hearts.
However, before the two of them could relax completely, they heard several screams of men and beasts coming from the direction they were going up the mountain. The two of them hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw the dark mountain road flashing as if someone was holding a torch in the direction of the rooftop.
Na Yu thought that it was very likely that Lai Xing'er led the official army to return, and found that Li Shu was missing, so he sent people to search around. Startled, he hurriedly let go of Li Shu and circled around the rooftop, intending to find a hiding place that could escape the search of the officials and soldiers. To her disappointment, the rooftop was like a yard for drying wheat and corn in an ordinary village, with a flat terrain that could be seen through at a glance. Only two or three boulders standing on the east side can hide people, and those who go up the mountain to search can easily find the people hiding behind the boulders.
What can I do?
Na Yu looked down the mountain, but saw that the heavy twilight had completely covered the entire mountain, and all around was black and oppressive, and needless to say that Li Shu was a person who had not recovered from a serious illness, and it was impossible for even a normal person to go down the mountain overnight.
Just when Na Yu felt that she had no way to walk, a familiar voice came from behind a big stone on the east side of the rooftop, reminding her: "About thirty or fifty meters away in the direction of your left hand, there is a Xuanyuan Cave, you can take him to the cave first to take shelter for a while." Let me take care of the people who come up the mountain. ”
Nayu bent down and picked up a branch from the ground, used it as a weapon, held it in his hand, and tiptoed to get close to the big rock that made a human voice behind him, but only a few steps later, he was noticed by Fleur, who was hiding behind the big rock.
"If you want to live, hurry up and help him into the cave. Can't you even hear the voice of the poor road? ”
When Na Yu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, this strange voice was familiar, and it turned out that the person hiding behind the big stone turned out to be the Seven Immortal Yuan Dao Master who sent someone to send him to Lingdu Temple to recuperate.
On the night of Li Jinzhong's assassination, Na Yu was accidentally hit by Lai Xing'er in the study of the Jin State Mansion, was seriously injured, and was sent into a Taoist temple overnight by another mysterious masked assassin. It wasn't until the next day, when Na Yu, who had been suffering from a pain in his back all night, was surprised to find that he was lying in the clean room of the Seven Immortal Yuan Dao Chiefs of the Golden Immortal Temple.
This discovery made Nayu very surprised and excited, she used two things to force her upper body, tried to sit up on the bed, tried twice, but because her arms were sore and weak, she did not succeed. Seeing that she had woken up, the girl who was guarding her by the bedside ran out of the room and called Fleur in.
"Dao Chief, it turns out that you are also the enemy of the old gelding. If you knew this was the case, why did you bother to use irrelevant words to surround me in the first place. Na Yu looked up and saw that it was indeed the Seven Immortals she had met on the day she returned to Chang'an, and she couldn't help but complain.
Furong still had some blame in her heart for her sister Sakura, who should not have brought the injured Nayu to the Golden Immortal Temple where she was hiding, but at this time, in front of Nayu, she naturally would not reveal the true thoughts in her heart, so she made a joke and said to Nayu: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, so why do you have to have someone who has a grudge with him to get his life?" People who are poor and outside the road only know that it is the duty of the monks to save the dead and help the wounded and enlighten the people. For example, if you didn't come to the view to pay tribute to the old master, how would you have encountered the poor road, if you hadn't encountered the poor road, how would you have realized that the real murderer of the old master was Li Jinzhong, if not, how could you have been sent to the view by chance? Therefore, the poor donor does not have to worry about the past, as long as he knows that the poor road is related to you. ”
Na Yu's pain continued, and she was even more confused by Furong's mysterious words, but she suddenly seemed to understand something, half-lying on the bed, stretched out her hand to point at Furong in front of her, and guessed in surprise: "You, you won't be Queen Zhang's subordinates, right?" Only they would be bent on killing Li Jinzhong and avenging Empress Zhang. ”
At this time, Furong has chosen the Wangwu Mountain Lingdu Temple as her place to settle down for a period of time in the future, and echoes the location of Sakura, who is ambitious and reluctant to leave the palace. And people like us who are monks and cultivators, but who seek longevity and save people, are not as obsessed with karma as monks who eat fasting and recite Buddha. Therefore, I advise you not to diligently seek cause and effect of things, so as not to think too much about hurting your spirit, which will not be detrimental to your injury. The little donor will be raised for two days in my view for the time being, and then the poor Dao will find a Taoist blessed land for you to heal your wounds, and then send someone to send you there to treat your injuries well, do you think it is good?
