"His Royal Highness the Prince. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
As soon as Liu Yan came back, Shen Zhiwei greeted him, his eyes looked behind him a few times, came back to his senses, and asked again: "I don't know if the female assassin who was assassinating on the street has been caught." ”
Liu Yan's mind flashed, and he finally remembered Lu Zhilai, and turned his head to ask Ruoyu, "Is Lu Zhi back?" ”
"Nope."
With a frown of his eyebrows, Liu Yan put the sword in his hand on the table beside him, straightened his clothes and said, "What about Chu Shenxia?" Call him over. ”
Ruoyu took two steps out, and Shen Zhiwei hurriedly said: "He went out, saying that he was going to see the terrain of Dadu." ”
"Let him be." Liu Yan finished trimming his cuffs, took the sword on the table in his hand, turned around and asked, "In which direction did he go, I should also take a look at the terrain of the capital." ”
Shen Zhiwei couldn't imagine that the prince was so good with an unofficial and unemployed Chu Shenxia, and he even planned to look for him in person, his eyelids jumped three times, and he lowered his eyes and said: "Xia Guan doesn't know, I only know that he said that he wanted to go to a high place so that he can see clearly." ”
Liu Yan snorted, he had already thought of where to go in his heart, so he walked out very quickly, Ruoyu followed him not close or far, walked well, and suddenly glanced back at Shen Zhiwei, Shen Zhiwei couldn't figure out what she meant by this look, and his heart jumped uneasily.
"Lu Zhi hasn't come back yet, according to his personality, if he is a person who can't be caught, he will never chase after him, you ......" Liu Yan strode at his feet, and did not notice Ruoyu who was distracted on the side, and at this moment he turned his head to see her and saw that there was a haze between his eyebrows, as if he had something on his mind.
was about to stop and ask her, she seemed to see what Liu Yan was going to ask, so she simply replied without asking: "Your Highness, I think Shen Zhiwei is very strange, his eyes are different from ordinary people, although he always grovels, like a greedy person who is afraid of death." But I didn't catch half of the fear and trepidation in his eyes, not even a trace of fame and fortune. ”
Hearing her mention this, Liu Yan agreed very much, but these descriptions sounded a little familiar, and he had used these words to describe Chu Shenxia.
Liu Yan thought of Shen Zhiwei at the city gate again, shook his head a little funny, and said, "I don't think so, he is so timid and self-contained, maybe it's our delusion." ”
Ruoyu heard him say "we", not "you", and suddenly felt that he also recognized his statement in his heart, and was about to say a few more words of rebuttal, when the corner of his eye caught the dark robe flashing by the wall.
After a flicker, he chased after him, Liu Yan didn't see the corner of the clothes, looked at her back with some incomprehension, and stepped on the Qiushui Tower alone.
Qiushui Tower, is the most famous tower in the capital, the tower is 7749 zhang high, a total of 6636 floors. Standing on the top of the tower, you can see most of the capital clearly, especially at night, blowing the breeze, looking at the brightly lit city under your feet, isn't it happy?
The only pity is that this tower has been struck by lightning for many years, and since then it has been somewhat unstable, and the abbot of the temple has sealed this tower and does not allow people to enter the tower at will.
The twilight in the west is warm and red, and the red light will shine most of the capital very dazzlingly, Liu Yan climbed the last floor, and finally arrived at the top of the Qiushui Tower.
The corners of his mouth hooked, and he was about to walk over and pat him on the shoulder, when his eyes touched a blood-colored lake, his hand paused in mid-air, the brightness of blood, the brightness of blood, this brightness seemed to be different from the warmth of the sunset.
Liu Yanzheng looked into the distance stupidly, and the person in front of him suddenly turned around, and a scimitar pierced him straight into his abdomen. Liu Yan was stunned, endured the great pain in his abdomen, and looked at him puzzled, because of the backlight, he lowered his head again, so he couldn't see his face clearly.
A blue robe revealed a strange light in the light, only the face was hidden deep in the light, and the pain hit, Liu Yan gritted his teeth, took a deep breath of cold air, and said in a sad tone: "You are close to me...... Really...... Sure enough, there was a purpose. ”
The person in front of him suddenly leaned over and grabbed his clothes, Liu Yan only felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning rapidly, and in an instant, a cool breeze was already blowing behind him, and the whole person fell out of control from the tower.
Thirty-six layers, falling down, the bones of the whole body will be scattered into a pile, Liu Yan didn't dare to look behind him, but he didn't dare to look at the sunset, his eyes were half-squinted, and he heard a crisp sound of bones breaking, followed by Ruoyu's face.
This pause only stopped for half a second, and he watched Ruoyu be dragged out of the tower by the weight he had fallen, Liu Yan's face was not half moved, but looked at her with wide eyes and surprise.
She actually stretched out her hand to pick her up from half a tower, but how could she bear the weight of a grown man's rapid fall?
The sound of breaking bones was also the sound of her arm breaking.
Before Liu Yan could react, the face in front of him was gone, and feeling her supporting her body, Liu Yan suddenly understood, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and angry words rolled out of his roar: "Wang Ruoyu, you come up for me." ”
The person behind him didn't react, Liu Yan wanted to move, but she was hugged by her and couldn't move, "Peng!" The sound of falling to the ground, and the sound of bones breaking was endless. Liu Yan rolled on the ground a few times, regardless of the pain on his body, he hurriedly got up, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned in place for a long time without moving.
Chu Shenxia pushed away Ruoyu who was pressing on his body with difficulty, half sat up, covered his chest, coughed a few times, and kept spitting blood, as if he was going to vomit all the blood.
Ruoyu on the side was motionless, as if he had fainted, Rao is Ruoyu had Chu Shenxia behind him, and he also fainted, so Chu Shenxia's injuries ......
Liu Yan didn't dare to think about it anymore, he took two steps quickly, looked at his black clothes for a moment, and realized that the person who assassinated him at the top of the tower was not Chu Shenxia, a little shame flashed on his face, and he opened his mouth and couldn't say half a word.
Chu Shenxia only had time to glance at him, and couldn't help coughing up blood, Liu Yan was a little at a loss, the pain in his abdomen hit like a mountain of seas, and he couldn't bear to probe Ruoyu's breath, only to find that she had already had internal injuries, and the people on the side coughed sharply again, jumped between his eyebrows, and turned his head and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, Your Highness has been ...... by Miss Ruoyu in mid-air Ahem...... I took it once, and the momentum was much less, so I took it below...... cough, cough, cough, cough ......" Chu Shenxia couldn't finish speaking, so he covered his mouth and coughed vigorously, and for a while, blood rushed out of his fingers, and his eyes were red because of this.
"Stop talking, let's go back and heal our injuries first." Losing too much blood, Liu Yan also felt dizzy in front of him, helped Chu Shenxia up, squatted down and hugged Ruoyu, with such a force, the blood in his abdomen flowed a lot, Liu Yan gritted his teeth, trying his best to keep himself awake.
"I can't go back, cough cough ......" Chu Shenxia put one hand on his shoulder, coughed a few times, and said: "That Shen Zhiwei has a problem, he is planning to separate a few of us, cough cough...... Ahem, if you go back now, you're a wolf. ”
Liu Yan saw that he compared himself to a wolf, his eyes couldn't help but froze, but Chu Shenxia didn't care, exhaled, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and swept his eyes over the numerous temples behind him, and said in a deep voice: "I have some vague understanding of the abbot here, he once discussed Buddhism with people all the way to the Eastern Tang Dynasty from the capital, and after one hundred and thirty cities, he once summoned the monarch of the Liang State to summon him personally. ”
Liu Yan nodded and asked, "You mean to let him take us in?" ”
Chu Shenxia nodded, his calm eyes suddenly flashed a trace of fierceness, and he took two quick steps with his steps, and chased after the person behind the tower.
As soon as Liu Yan's gaze fell on the man's blue robe, anger surged up, he took the dagger at his waist and threw it hard, although the wound involved was painful, but he didn't feel much pain when he thought that the dagger could pass through the man's chest.
didn't hear the screams, Liu Yan let go of the hand covering his abdomen, and suddenly raised his eyes to see that Chu Shenxia had intercepted his dagger, and blood was slowly flowing out from the palm of his hand holding the dagger, and the person had been stunned by his palm.
Liu Yan really didn't understand what he meant? After taking two steps towards him, a person dressed as a monk suddenly appeared in front of him, with a playful look on his face, which was very improper.
"Good, good, what do you mean by the blood of the two donors splashing my hollow temple?" Although the monk said this, there was no shortage of smiles on his face.
Liu Yan was about to answer, but Chu Shenxia had already rushed ahead of him and said, "I'm afraid not only will I have to splash your blood in the Hollow Temple, but I will also stay in your temple." ”
Liu Yan looked at him dumbfounded, thinking that the monk would be angry, but he didn't think about it, his face still had a calm expression and an immortal smile, "Don't you know that we are a Buddhist pure land?" Amitabha, what a sin, a sin. ”
"Dare to ask Master, what is purity? If the heart is pure, how can the things that are seen be polluted? Chu Shenxia asked with a smile.
Seeing that his eyes flashed and he was about to answer, he hurriedly pointed to his robe, and said with a wry smile: "Master Xingkong, don't talk, you talk endlessly, cough cough...... Then we'll wait for death. ”
Liu Yan was so shocked that he couldn't close his jaw, it turned out that this was the famous abbot of sexual emptiness in Chu Shenxia's mouth, and such a naughty style broke the impression he had always had of a monk in his heart.
Xingkong's gaze turned around several people, and he picked up the man in blue on the ground with one hand, and said helplessly: "Come with me." ”
Following him all the way, he turned a few corners in the temple, and saw a group of underground stone steps, and at the end of the stone steps was endless darkness, Liu Yan hesitated, but it could be seen that Chu Shenxia's face was not half suspicious, so he had to follow behind him.
I don't know how long I walked, I saw a few torches in front of me, obscurely shining on this underground stone wall, most of the stone walls were murals, at first glance, there was some essence of taste, Liu Yan couldn't help but look at it twice.
After turning around a few stone chambers, I came to a stone chamber with bright candles, which was the size of an inner hall, and the obsidian above my head was connected into the shape of the Big Dipper.
The stone room looks very old, and the stone bench and stone table are old, but they are very clean.
Xingkong ran to Chu Shenxia's side and was about to treat his wound, but when he saw him signaling him to deal with Liu Yan first with his eyes, Xingkong didn't speak, shook his head with a smile, and walked to Liu Yan's side, skillful and fast, and took care of the wound in a short time.
